Chapter 1976
Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, Han Li rubbed his hands together without hesitation and then suddenly raised them!
Thunderous sounds erupted!
As golden lightning flashed, countless electric arcs shot out. With a flash, they transformed into a giant electric net that shrouded the Stone Spirit and suddenly tightened.
By the time the spiritual object regained consciousness from that cold snort, its body was already tightly wrapped by layers of electric arcs.
This Spirit-Devouring object naturally was not willing to be captured like this, and immediately, with a sharp cry, yellow demon flames rolled out from its body once again.
As the golden arcs transformed by the Divine Thunder of Purity touched these flames, they showed signs of melting amidst low, crackling sounds.
The Stone Spirit was actually going to break free just like this!
But Han Li had finally trapped it; how could he give it the slightest chance again? Immediately, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a single-handed incantation, he prepared to teleport instantly to a place within arm's reach of the Stone Spirit.
But just at this moment, a somewhat urgent voice transmission from the Black Rain Master suddenly reached his ears:
"Fellow Daoist Han, wait a moment. Let this old man's spirit insects subdue this spiritual object."
Han Li was startled, and the movement of his hand naturally paused.
He saw the old man, who had originally been floating motionless in the air, suddenly move his eyeballs a few times, followed by a long whistle from his mouth.
Almost at the same time, the emerald-blue flying scorpion's body blurred slightly, and after its phantom flashed wildly, it transformed into more than ten identical flying scorpions.
These flying scorpions spread their wings and transformed into masses of blue light, disappearing from their original positions.
And the next moment, spatial fluctuations arose, and these flying scorpions appeared above the Stone Spirit. As the hooks on their tails lit up, the blue beams that had appeared before were spat out simultaneously.
This time, the Stone Spirit was unable to move at all while bound by the golden arcs, and naturally, these blue beams flashed and sank into its body one after another.
A layer of blue, hazy mist instantly appeared on the spiritual object's face, and the yellow demon flames that had originally been burning fiercely on its body became dim and lusterless as if they had met their nemesis, even extinguishing with a muffled sound in the end.
Seeing this situation, the Huangliang Stone Spirit became incomparably furious. Baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, it suddenly opened its mouth and inhaled fiercely. Its body expanded rapidly like a balloon, and at the same time, a terrifying aura radiated from its body.
Han Li sensed the eeriness of this aura and his expression changed. After his body swayed, he suddenly appeared over a hundred feet away.
And in this brief moment, the Spirit-Devouring object's body had thoroughly transformed into a round, drum-like shape, causing the golden electric arcs to crackle and pop incessantly, as if it were about to self-destruct at any moment.
"Evil creature, still wanting to self-destruct! This old man had long since guarded against this move of yours." The Black Rain Master, who had just broken free from the illusion, let out a cold snort and raised his hand to grab into the void.
As silver lightning flashed across the sky, a silver net as thin as silk suddenly appeared above the mountain peak. Following a flash, it immediately shrouded the Huangliang Stone Spirit.
A booming sound rang out!
The silver silk net attached itself firmly to the Stone Spirit's massive body, and then, as the old man urged his incantation, it tightened rapidly.
Immediately, strands of electric light were blindingly dazzling, and at the same time, countless silver runes surged out from the net, turning the entire Stone Spirit into an exceptionally blinding silver light orb.
An incredible scene appeared!
Under the tightening of the silver silk net, the Stone Spirit's originally expanded body shrank rapidly.
In just a few breaths, it returned to its original size, and then, no matter what divine abilities the spiritual object tried to urge, there was not the slightest movement within its body.
Although the Stone Spirit was extremely furious in its heart, it was of no use at all.
"Hehe, since you have fallen into this old man's Silver Firmament Thunder Net, don't even think about flipping over again. Just obediently follow this old man to the Holy Island for a trip! Rest assured, I don't want your little life, I'm just borrowing your main body for a use." Seeing that he had truly captured the Huangliang Stone Spirit, the Black Rain Master was filled with joy, couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and slowly descended from the air.
"Hehe, congratulations to Brother Yu. It seems this mission has been completed smoothly. I am ashamed; this poor monk did not help much. If it weren't for Brother Han's assistance on the side, this little thing would have really run away." Tianchan, who was on the side, suddenly spoke with some apology.
Apparently, the moment the Stone Spirit was captured, the illusion that had trapped him naturally shattered and disappeared, allowing him to break free.
"Master is too modest. If it weren't for Master and this old man attacking together, it would have been impossible to draw out this spiritual object's illusionary divine ability so quickly. Fellow Daoist Han would not have been able to block it so easily either. But Master is right about one thing: this time, it was truly fortunate to have invited Fellow Daoist Han to help!" The Black Rain Master laughed and said.
"The two Fellow Daoists are too polite. Han Mou only exerted a bit of his duty." Han Li just smiled and didn't say much more, but grabbed into the void with one hand toward the Stone Spirit tightly wrapped by the silver net.
With a thunderclap, countless golden electric lights shot out from the silver silk net, re-transforming into golden arcs that sank into its body.
"This is the Divine Thunder of Purity, right? Tsk tsk, the demon-repelling attribute of this divine thunder is an invincible weapon against those low-tier demon races!" Seeing this scene, the Black Rain Master marveled, then extended a finger and tapped the silver silk net wrapping the Stone Spirit below.
A thunderclap in the clear sky!
Under the old man's urging of his divine ability, the net flashed with strands of electric light and tightened once more.
This time, as the silver silk net flashed wildly, it quite mysteriously wrapped the Stone Spirit into a silver silk ball the size of a fist, which was then flicked into his sleeve by the old man.
"Actually, besides the Divine Thunder of Purity, there are several other cultivation techniques in this world that are quite sharp against demon creatures. But these techniques are either difficult to practice and impossible to promote, or they have long been lost, leaving only some rumors. There are not many among our human race who truly possess such cultivation techniques and divine abilities. Otherwise, we shouldn't be struggling so much against the demon race." The monk slowly floated down from the air, looked at Han Li meaningfully, and said with some emotion.
"Since we know this cannot be sought, why should Master care so much about it? Fellow Daoist Han's ability to obtain the Divine Thunder of Purity is also his great fortune. I heard that if this divine ability is urged with a true Thunder-Sacrificing Technique, its power is enough to threaten Body Integration stage Demon Venerables, but it's a pity that our Holy Island only retains the second half of the incantation. If Fellow Daoist Han has a chance, he could go to the Savage World to search for it. Perhaps those alien races still retain the full version of the Thunder-Sacrificing Technique." The Black Rain Master suggested to Han Li with a smile.
"Thunder-Sacrificing Technique! Half of the incantation?" Hearing this, Han Li's heart stirred.
He had obtained a type of Thunder-Sacrificing Technique from the four great demon kings of the Earth Abyss back then, but although this divine ability was quite powerful, it took too much time to urge and was not very suitable for actual combat, so he hadn't used it many times.
"That's right, the first half of this Thunder-Sacrificing Technique teaches people how to control the power of the divine thunder and how to sacrifice it. And the second half of the incantation is the true method of controlling and driving it. Neither can be missing!" The Black Rain Master explained.
"So that's how it is. It seems that if there is a chance, I really have to go to the Savage World to search for it." Han Li nodded calmly, but in his heart, he couldn't help but curse incessantly.
He said why this Thunder-Sacrificing Technique was so impractical; it turned out that the Thunder-Sacrificing Technique taught by those four great demon kings was only half. Needless to say, this must have been done intentionally by those four great demon kings.
But thinking about it, this was also very normal; if it were him, he would mostly do the same.
In the following time, after the three of them exchanged pleasantries on the mountain peak, Tianchan finally took the lead in saying goodbye:
"Two benefactors, the situation in the Holy Emperor City is not too good. This old monk has been out for a long time and must return immediately to assist the Holy Emperor in defending the city. I will say goodbye to you two here."
"Hehe, since Master has said so, this old man must also take the Stone Spirit back to the Holy Island. The people on the island are in urgent need of this spiritual object. Fellow Daoist Han, Master Tianchan, I hope that after the demon tribulation, we can meet again. By the way, Fellow Daoist Han, you still want to stay here for a few days, right?" After a smile appeared on the old man's ugly face, he cupped his fists and said.
"I still want to borrow the Earth Fire, so I indeed need to stay for two more days. Take care, two Fellow Daoists, and have a safe journey. Han Mou will not see you off." Han Li smiled slightly and returned the salute calmly.
Just like that, after a moment, a mass of black light and a beam of white light rose into the air from the mountain peak, circled, and turned into two shocking rainbows that shot away in different directions.
After a few flashes, the two escape lights disappeared at the end of the horizon, and no trace could be seen anymore.
Han Li stood on a giant rock on the mountain peak, looking at the scene where the escape lights disappeared. The smile on his face gradually faded, and in the end, he muttered to himself:
"The second half of the Thunder-Sacrificing Technique! It seems that I really have to take a trip to the Holy Island. But now, I need to communicate well with that demon head first, and get that Chaos Qi into my hands before anything else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li's body moved, and with a blur, he appeared at the edge of the giant pit again, and scanned the bottom of the pit once more.
During the battle just now, this pit had not been affected too much, so it still maintained its original appearance.
The yellow mist at the bottom of the pit was still filled with haze, and the naked eye could not see the things below.
After Han Li stared for a while with narrowed eyes, he looked up and scanned the surroundings of the mountain peak, frowning slightly.
He suddenly flipped one hand, and a thick stack of formation flags appeared in his palm. With a shake of his wrist, they turned into dozens of rays of light that shot toward the surroundings.
As spiritual light flashed, these formation-arranging tools sank into the void one after another.
The next moment, a layer of white, hazy mist spread over the mountain peak, and after a while, it thoroughly submerged the giant pit along with Han Li.
Han Li stood in place without moving. With a shake of both sleeves, thirteen clusters of purple light flew out, humming as they sank into the mist and disappeared without a trace.
Following this, green light flashed on his body again, and a green shadow lunged out from his body. With a shake, it sank eerily into the ground and disappeared.
After doing all this, Han Li let out a long breath, sat cross-legged beside the giant pit with a solemn expression, pinched an incantation with one hand, and slapped the top of his head fiercely with the other.
Immediately, golden light flashed, and a Nascent Soul half a foot tall appeared above his head with a shake.
