Chapter 2026

Almost at the same moment the Han figure was destroyed with a single strike, the distant demonized Han Li let out a muffled groan, the golden light on his body surface scattering away as a skull and two golden-colored arms instantly vanished, the golden-colored battle armor on his body and the cyan-colored horn on his head also rapidly receding at a visible speed.

His huge body shrank back to its original size, everything restored to the ordinary human appearance before his transformation.

But at this moment, his face was as pale as paper, the divine light in his eyes dimming at a visible speed, and his aura rapidly weakening and dissipating.

At the instant Han Li ended his transformation, he grabbed with both hands, and immediately several small bottles of different colors appeared in his hands; without hesitation, he opened the caps and swallowed all the pills inside into his stomach.

After the abnormal flush on his face flashed several times, a faint cyan light flashed on his body, and the loss of essence and energy within him finally ceased.

Han Li let out a long breath, his tense face slightly relaxing, and he swept a solemn gaze toward where the giant man had disappeared.

The golden-colored giant palm also vanished at the moment he ended his transformation.

Thus, looking from afar, that place was completely empty, with nothing remaining.

Han Li's pupils contracted, and just as he was about to shift his gaze with a thought,

The void beside him fluctuated, and a cluster of black light flashed into form, revealing a massive black demon beast several zhang in size, exactly the three-headed demon lion puppet that had just barely escaped.

After the demon beast's six demon eyes swept toward where the giant man had disappeared, its face instantly showed an expression of extreme rage, and its three heads simultaneously raised and let out a thunderous roar.

"You dare destroy my true form, which I painstakingly cultivated for over a hundred thousand years to achieve perfection! Not tearing your corpse into ten thousand pieces, extracting your soul and refining your spirit, I cannot quell the hatred in my heart."

The demon lion moved its body and instantly turned into a streak of black light, charging straight at Han Li.

This demon beast clearly understood that, given Han Li's current severely weakened vital energy, he absolutely could not be a match for its puppet body, so, filled with extreme resentment, it naturally could not possibly let Han Li leave alive.

Han Li witnessed this scene, his brows slightly furrowed, and he murmured in a voice too low to hear:

"This demon lord is indeed decisive! His primordial spirit actually did not hesitate to abandon his physical body to escape this calamity. However, as a possessing puppet, his magical powers and abilities should not even reach three-tenths of their original strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped one foot heavily on the ground, and white light flashed in the void beneath him, a small, misty white formation appearing, and his body instantly became blurred.

"Formation of space, you think you can just escape like this!"

Upon seeing the white formation, the demon lion panicked instantly, its body suddenly elongating, and its escape speed suddenly increased by half; after just two flashes, it arrived before Han Li with a foul wind, both front claws lashing out like lightning.

Ten streaks of black-colored claw light instantly pierced the void like blades, aiming to tear Han Li into countless pieces in an instant.

But this attack was clearly already a step too late.

With a humming sound from the formation, Han Li's body vanished within the white light.

The black-colored claw light swept past, slicing the formation into over ten pieces instantly, but Han Li remained completely unharmed.

Yet this demon beast was not willing to just let it go; its three heads merely swayed, and its vast divine sense suddenly enveloped the surroundings, then, with a ferocious expression exposed, it simultaneously opened its mouth toward a certain point in the void not far away.

With three "puff" sounds, three thick beams of light shot out and flashed, striking the void.

A burst of explosive sound came, and a shadow stumbled into view.

The face of the middle head of the demon lion instantly revealed a hint of ferocity, but before this expression could fully appear, it froze motionless in the next instant.

As the light from the distant shadow faded, the true form revealed was indeed a golden-yellow beast about a zhang in size.

It was precisely the Leopard Kirin Beast.

This beast had somehow swapped places with Han Li at some point and taken his place to block that strike just now.

Although it had only early-stage fusion cultivation and had not expended much magical power in the previous battle, it was clearly still no match for the three-headed demon lion puppet; that strike not only forced it to reveal itself from the void, but its originally golden-yellow fur was also somewhat scorched.

However, the Leopard Kirin Beast did not show weakness; as soon as it stabilized its stance, it lowered its head and let out a deep roar, and after a layer of golden light flashed across its body surface, its damaged fur instantly recovered, and a faint golden Kirin phantom appeared behind it, flickering indistinctly.

"Kirin bloodline! Humph, even so, this level of cultivation dares to block me."

Upon seeing this, the three-headed demon lion was first slightly startled, but then immediately laughed angrily with a cold snort, and suddenly a black claw lunged toward another direction.

A thunderclap!

Countless black-colored arcs of electricity instantly intertwined and appeared on the claw, and with a roar, they all vanished strangely.

The next moment, in the sky not far from the Leopard Kirin Beast, countless black-colored arcs of electricity flashed wildly into view, and after condensing, they actually formed a black-colored electric claw about a zhang in size, which then lunged downward with a menacing aura.

Before this giant claw actually descended, several black-colored arcs of electricity had already slashed downward first.

The void below fluctuated, and after the black-colored electric light flashed, the void twisted, revealing a faint cyan-colored figure.

It was indeed Han Li.

At this moment, he had his palms joined horizontally in front of his chest, his aura still abnormally weak, but as he gazed at the massive electric claw descending from above, he showed no trace of panic, instead revealing a hint of a cold smile.

At this very moment, the Leopard Kirin Beast let out an angry roar and shot forward, and in mid-air, its form blurred and transformed into over a dozen shadows, then, after a flash, it appeared ghostlike above Han Li's head.

These shadows merely paused slightly, and countless golden-yellow claw shadows flashed out with a hissing sound as they pierced the void, then formed a giant net to meet the black electric claw.

A tremendous roar!

From the black electric claw, dense black-colored arcs of electricity emerged, and upon contact with the claw net below, they tore it apart like rotting stalks.

Even several bowl-thick arcs of electricity fiercely slashed down, causing the Leopard Kirin Beast's shadows to flash and vanish one after another.

And the beast's true body, after being struck, also let out a miserable cry and was flung over ten zhang away, its entire fur standing up and turning pitch black, its aura also weakened somewhat.

In the distance, the demon lion let out a wild laugh, its three heads simultaneously activating their magic seals, and the giant electric claw, now unhindered, rushed straight down to press upon Han Li.

The black electric light was about to instantly submerge him.

But at this moment, Han Li let out a faint sigh, and his joined palms suddenly separated.

A long cry like a dragon's roar!

A golden streak shot out from between his hands, flashed once, and then passed through the black electric claw.

The black electric claw let out a mournful cry and instantly vanished strangely, leaving no trace.

Seeing this, the demon lion's face changed color, but before it could understand what was happening, the golden streak circled once in the high sky and suddenly transformed into a thick, misty golden column of light shooting up into the sky, over a thousand zhang high.

Within the light column, a faint golden-colored spear phantom hovered motionlessly, while countless points of golden light appeared around it and surged wildly into the spear like moths to flame.

The astonishing aura emanating from the golden spear seemed to stir the heavenly and earthly vital energy of the entire sky.

At this moment, the spear phantom let out a thunderous rumble, its entire body flashing with golden light, and the entire light column transformed into a radiant golden heavenly-reaching spear.

Upon seeing this, the three-headed demon lion's face changed drastically instantly, and without hesitation, its body moved, turning into a streak of black light as it fled into the sky.

Han Li's eyes flashed with cold light, and he pointed a finger lightly toward the sky.

The golden spear trembled slightly, then silently descended in a chopping motion toward the three-headed demon lion.

After the demon lion flickered and fled to a distance of over a hundred zhang, it was about to unleash some great divine power to forcibly break the spatial restriction and escape, when it suddenly felt the surrounding air grow hot, and its internal magic power congealed and became unresponsive, unable to be mobilized in the slightest.

"Not good!"

Before the demon beast could even finish its cry, it felt its entire body turn cold, and then its vision went black, losing all sensation completely.

In the eyes of Han Li in the distance, he saw only that the golden 'color' halberd descended, then transformed into a massive halberd shadow that enveloped the three-headed demon lion within it.

Amid the flashing golden light, the demon lion's massive body instantly shattered inch by inch, and then, together with its Primordial Spirit, it turned to dust and vanished completely.

At this point, the demon race warrior truly perished and fell, leaving no trace whatsoever in this world.

After Han Li exhaled a long breath, his whole body finally relaxed somewhat.

The one who naturally slew the demon lion puppet's body was none other than the "Heaven Halberd Talisman" he had painstakingly refined.

This talisman, worthy of being an immortal realm spirit talisman, once unleashed, easily slew the powerful foe.

Of course, this was also because the demon race warrior's physical body had already been lost, so regardless of magic power or divine abilities, they were greatly reduced by more than half; otherwise, even if this talisman's power were heaven-defying, it could not possibly slay such a mighty demon race foe out of thin air.

As for the divine ability he previously used to slay the demon race warrior's physical body, it was precisely one of the most powerful divine abilities recorded in the Brahma Saint True Devil Technique.

However, as the demon race warrior said, this divine ability cannot be unleashed by Han Li with his current cultivation and physical condition; it is only usable after advancing to the Great Vehicle stage, a heaven-defying divine ability.

After Han Li briefly tried it during his seclusion, he naturally discovered this fact.

However, the power of this Nirvana Sacred Body is truly immense; once unleashed, even just the initial stage of Nirvana transformation can cause magic power to spontaneously increase by several times or more, not to mention the terrifying immense force that makes ghosts and gods retreat.

Therefore, after Han Li painstakingly pondered, he finally devised a method to barely unleash it: using the power of the Awakening of Insects Decision to temporarily arouse the hidden true spirit blood within his body, then employing this true blood power to temporarily activate this divine ability.

For Han Li now, this method is almost a mutual-damage tactic of killing the enemy at the cost of self-injury—like inflicting eight hundred wounds on oneself while killing a thousand foes.

Do not speak of the immense damage to vital energy upon use; even the consumption of this true spirit blood is absolutely an unbearable loss for Han Li.

Thus, he originally had no intention of using this divine ability against enemies in this great battle.

But this demon race warrior was simply too strong, especially when he suddenly unleashed the Nine Demonic Children-Mother Spears, a heaven-defying divine ability formed by illusion from his Primordial Spirit's power, capable of matching a full-force strike from a Great Vehicle cultivator; even if Han Li took a direct hit, he would surely die or be severely injured.

Left with no choice, Han Li had his Nascent Soul flee instantly, while using true spirit power to momentarily transform his body into different true spirit incarnations, which emerged together to block this attack.

Since he had already aroused the true spirit blood, and the demon race warrior could not be slain by ordinary divine abilities, he gritted his teeth and thus went along with the situation, directly employing this Nirvana Sacred Body that he had originally not planned to use.

Of course, Han Li dared to use this divine ability because he still held another killer move, the "Heaven Halberd Talisman," in his hand, and thus did not need to worry about ending up in a mutual-loss situation.

With both killer moves employed together, they indeed, as desired, slew the demon race warrior whose divine ability was nearly equal to his own.

This filled Han Li's heart with a myriad of emotions.
