Chapter 2021: Tianyuan Great Battle (Part 5)

Hundreds of cultivators, with the assistance of the array corpse puppets, actually trapped these seven or eight Demon Venerables in place. (Web)

Not only that, after a flash of light in Tianyuan City, over a hundred stone towers thousands of feet tall rose from the ground, flying straight toward the Demon Race army with a loud noise.

On the Demon Race side, those giant boats and triangular demon towers floating in the rear naturally welcomed them without politeness, and after a hum, they released countless black light pillars from afar.

But the human flying towers had five-colored light rays flowing on their surfaces, forcibly blocking the light pillars, and as they approached the Demon Race, the doors on each floor of the towers opened simultaneously.

Countless puppet armored soldiers and various spiritual beasts surged out, rushing toward the Demon Race like locusts.

On the Demon Race side, there were clearly also a large number of remaining Demon Race members in the giant boats and triangular giant towers. After strange cries, groups of Demon Race armored soldiers and demon birds flew out, black and dense.

For a time, light rays and black energy filled the sky, and another bloody storm erupted in the void.

Han Li had already withdrawn his spiritual sense and naturally knew nothing about all this, just waiting quietly in the center of the magic array.

He knew very well that since the great battle had reached such a point, they could be dispatched at any time.

Sure enough, this wait was not too long, only about half an hour, when the giant magic array beneath him hummed loudly, and white misty light rays were emitted from beneath each male cultivator, submerging their figures into them.

These male cultivators were startled, but immediately took out triangular jade plates from their arms and hurriedly urged them.

Five-colored spiritual light emerged from these jade plates, transforming into pale purple runes that circled and danced around the cultivators.

Seeing this situation, Han Li's heart stirred, but before he could think it through, the white light in the magic array surged several times over and emitted a long, clear chime.

Han Li only felt a blur before his eyes, and he was instantly teleported away by the power of the magic array.

After a moment, when the clear chime in the magic array ceased abruptly and the white light converged and vanished, the thirty-six male cultivators and Han Li were all gone without a trace.

At the same time, in a high altitude somewhere on the battlefield of Tianyuan City, a giant light array appeared out of thin air, followed by a flash of spiritual light, and the thirty-six male cultivators and Han Li flashed into view.

The positions where those male cultivators appeared seemed to have been carefully arranged; they looked sparse and scattered, but in reality, they vaguely formed an extremely profound formation, just enough to surround Han Li and the other four in the center.

And the moment Han Li flashed out, black Qi rolled across his body, and a pitch-black battle armor was eerily worn on his body. At the same time, dots of green light flashed, and seventy-two small green swords silently emerged from his body, turning into a green sword lotus that spun incessantly beneath him.

Only then did he solemnly raise his head and sweep his gaze toward the other four existences.

Two of them were the silver-haired elder and Zen Master Jin Yue, but even though both were protected by several treasures, one had an abnormally pale face, and the other was covered in bloodstains, seemingly having suffered quite a loss.

Especially the silver-haired elder, whose clothes on his chest were completely shattered and torn, and a layer of his shoulder was missing an entire arm.

Standing opposite them were a blood-robed youth and a burly man wearing a beast-skin apron, with his upper body bare and bronze-colored.

The burly man held a wolf-tooth club flashing with emerald-green flames in one hand and a bloody severed arm in the other, his face full of ferocity, as if the elder's arm had been torn off by him alive.

The appearance of Han Li and the thirty-six male cultivators made the silver-haired elder and Zen Master Jin Yue's expressions relax slightly, but the blood-robed youth and the burly man both swished their gazes onto Han Li alone.

Once the two saw Han Li's face clearly, the youth's eyes were immediately filled with venom, while the burly man narrowed his eyes, a dangerous, fierce glint flashing through them.

"Late-stage Body Integration! No, the cultivation base is much more profound than an ordinary late-stage. Fellow Daoist Xue Guang, is this the target you wanted me to deal with? But it's not quite the same as the cultivation realm you told me about." The burly man's face sank as he turned his head to ask the youth.

"It is indeed this human junior surnamed Han. But his original cultivation base should have only been at the mid-stage. Oh... this seat understands. So the celestial phenomenon from a few days ago was caused by this kid. Brother Xiong can rest assured; he has only just advanced to the realm and hasn't even been able to consolidate his realm yet, so it will be even easier for you to deal with him." After the blood-robed youth swept his spiritual sense over Han Li, he was first surprised, but after a moment of contemplation, he revealed a look of sudden realization.

"Advancing to the late-stage realm is also this person? You wouldn't be mistaken, would you? If the opponent pops out another late-stage Body Integration cultivator, your trouble will be big." The burly man surnamed Xiong had a fierce glint in his eyes as he looked at Han Li and said with a sinister laugh.

"If there are other late-stage cultivators, Brother Xiong need not worry; this seat will naturally handle them. You only need to take this kid surnamed Han down for me; there is no need to worry about other matters." The blood-robed youth said coldly.

"Hehe, since fellow Daoist Xue Guang has said so, Xiong has nothing more to say. Leave this human kid to me. But don't say I didn't warn you; even if the opponent has no other trump cards, just this pursuit alone will probably keep fellow Daoist Xue Guang busy for a while." The burly man rolled his eyes and replied indifferently.

The magic array the burly man spoke of was naturally the layers of green light curtains that the thirty-six male cultivators had conjured by waving the triangular jade plaques in their hands the moment they appeared.

This light curtain not only immediately concealed the figures of these male cultivators but also shrouded the surrounding several miles of territory, with countless silver patterns vaguely wandering on the surface of the curtain, as if there were other mysteries within.

"A mere temporary magic array set up by a group of Spirit Severing cultivators, how can it do anything to me." The Xue Guang incarnation swept a glance at the light curtain and said with a hint of disdain.

"This magic array and this kid are most likely the trump cards the opponent is using to deal with you; how could it be as simple as it looks." The burly man shook his head, a strange expression appearing on his face.

"Oh, I forgot. Brother Xiong is also quite accomplished in the way of arrays; did you see something?" The Xue Guang incarnation was slightly startled and asked unexpectedly.

"In this short time, how could I see any mystery? I only see that this magic array is mostly related to spatial restrictions." The burly man laughed and said.

"Spatial restrictions, this is truly a bit tricky. Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xiong; I will definitely reward you heavily later." The Xue Guang incarnation's face became a bit sinister, and he said with a word of thanks.

Just as the two demons were talking to each other, Han Li also frowned slightly and asked the silver-haired elder:

"Brother Gu, what is going on? Why are you two here, and in such a sorry state? Why is there an extra late-stage Demon Venerable trapped in the magic array now?"

The moment Han Li saw the burly demon man, he felt the hair on his skin stand on end, and his vigilance was raised to the extreme, though he did not show it on his face at all.

"Brother Han, things might be a bit troublesome. This late-stage Demon Venerable doesn't know where he popped out from; there was no information about him in the original intelligence. Fellow Daoist Jin and I saw him with that Ancestral Saint incarnation and originally wanted to find a way to separate the two and immediately summon you over. But we never expected this Demon Venerable's divine abilities to be so powerful; he struck Zen Master Jin Yue into a serious injury in one encounter and even tore off one of my arms. I consider myself well-informed, but I never imagined that there could be such a terrifying monster among Body Integration existences; it's simply..." The silver-haired elder smiled bitterly, his face full of lingering fear.

"It's simply a half-step Mahayana! Brother Han, you must be extra careful. This person is probably even harder to deal with than the Ancestral Saint incarnation of the demon race. But now our side has exhausted many trump cards; even several Body Integration elders who have been in seclusion in the city and several envoys sent by the Holy Island have taken action. We three are the only ones left to deal with these two demons. If we are defeated first and let these two demons free their hands, this battle will be lost." Zen Master Jin Yue, who was on the side, did not wait for the elder to finish before taking over the conversation with worry.

"Cultivation elders and Holy Island envoys?" Han Li's gaze shifted, and sure enough, in the battle groups in the distance that were emitting thunderous roars, he discovered five or six Body Integration auras with unfamiliar auras, fighting inextricably with several pitch-black demon monsters that had transformed into three-headed and six-armed forms.

"Ancient Demons!" Han Li's face changed as soon as he saw the appearance of those demon monsters, and he blurted out.

"Those are indeed demons with the purest demon bloodline, and they are the true primitive Ancient Demon race in the Demon Realm. At the same cultivation level, the strength of these Body Integration Ancient Demons is also steadily above other Demon Venerables. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of these terrifying monsters, the two of us wouldn't have been forced to summon fellow Daoist Han out early." The silver-haired elder reminded him with a gloomy face.

"You mean, let me deal with this late-stage Demon Venerable. But that Ancestral Saint incarnation..." Han Li's face converged, and he asked after a moment of contemplation.

"The two of us consider ourselves to have some means to use, and besides, we can now borrow the power of this spatial magic array. Even if we are no match for this Xue Guang Ancestral Saint incarnation, we believe we can entangle him for a period of time. Brother Han, please deal with this late-stage Demon Venerable with all your heart." The silver-haired elder and Zen Master Jin Yue looked at each other and said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, and he swept his gaze toward the burly man again.

As a result, the burly demon man also happened to turn his head and look over, and their eyes met instantly.

The burly demon man didn't even blink, but the excitement and madness on his face gradually intensified, and his pupils even had silver light flickering incessantly.

Suddenly, the burly man moved, and he appeared in the center of the light curtain without any warning. Then, without a word, he threw the elder's arm he was holding into the air and struck the air with the wolf-tooth club in his other hand.

With a "Boom," the severed arm instantly turned into a rain of blood and scattered down, drenching the burly man's upper body, and the thick smell of blood instantly filled the entire light curtain.
