Chapter 2109: Volume 10: Battle of the Demon Realm, Chapter 284: The Three Great Ancestors

"The power of lightning here is so violent, and it has formed a sea of lightning; it is clearly related to the Demon Crystal Puppet in the sky. I just don't know if passing through this sea of lightning will trigger any restrictions on its body. This puppet's aura is so terrifying, almost no less than a True Spirit's existence. As long as even one or two percent of the power of the restrictions on its body remains, I'm afraid we will have to take quite a risk to pass through this sea of lightning," Han Li said slowly.

"The danger near the island pointed out by that senior of the Spirit Race is clearly this sea of lightning and this puppet. If there were any other clever ways to pass, they would surely have left instructions. Since there are none, we can only risk charging through. With so many of us joining forces, even if we are not as strong as Mahayana existences, by working together, I believe we can still pass through this area. It's just that some loss of vitality is probably unavoidable," the Long Family Ancestor thought for a moment and said with a solemn expression.

"We have already reached this point; naturally, there is no reason to shrink back now. Fellow Daoists, prepare yourselves; we will charge through this sea of lightning immediately," Saintess Qianqiu nodded, her jade face looking stern.

Bai Qi and the others naturally had no objections, and immediately, the group began to busy themselves on the spirit ship, either activating spell formations or urging their treasures.

For a time, several layers of colorful light screens appeared on the dark green giant ship, and more than a dozen phantoms of treasures of various styles shot directly out from the light screens, expanding and enlarging to shroud the giant ship beneath them.

This was only the beginning!

After two rumbling sounds, dazzling cyan light erupted simultaneously from the front and rear of the giant ship, and two cyan stone giants appeared at the same time.

These two puppets were both ten zhang tall, their cyan stone bodies covered in yellow talisman markings, and apart from a deep, sunken giant eye on their faces, they lacked noses, mouths, and other features.

What was even more surprising was that the two cyan stone puppets looked somewhat dilapidated from afar, but just by standing at both ends, a primitive and vicissitudinous aura emanated from their bodies, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

They were precisely the two ancient puppets of the Long Family Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist's two puppets are truly extraordinary; I'm afraid their strength is really not below that of ordinary Body Integration stage cultivators. With such precious puppets, Brother Long, are you really willing to use them to block the power of ten thousand lightning bolts in the sea of lightning? Aren't you afraid they will be damaged?" Upon seeing these two giant stone men, the young lady in feathered robes couldn't help but shrink her beautiful eyes and ask the nearby Long Family Ancestor.

"Although these two ancient puppets are powerful, they were already somewhat damaged when I obtained them. At most, they can only support one major battle before they shatter. Furthermore, activating them requires refining them for more than ten days in advance, so they are not as practical as Fellow Daoist Ye imagines," the Long Family Ancestor shook his head and replied with some regret.

"So that's how it is. To only be able to use them once, that is truly a pity," the young lady in feathered robes realized.

On the other side, Han Li also activated the banners and flags arranged on the giant ship.

Immediately, streams of black gas surged out from the banners, transforming into black chains as thick as bowls. They crisscrossed and shot into the sky, forming a giant net that protected the entire giant ship.

At the bow of the spirit ship, Saintess Qianqiu held a silver jade tablet high with one hand, chanting incantations toward the eight Cold Water Rhinos in the sea.

"Puchi!" several sounds!

Eight balls of silver light sprayed out from the jade tablet, flashing and merging into the bodies of the Cold Water Rhinos.

The seawater in front of the giant ship churned, and each of the eight giant rhinos had a suit of silver armor appear on its body, sticking tightly to its frame. The size was perfect, as if it had been naturally refined for these sea beasts.

Once the Cold Water Rhinos put on this silver armor, they simultaneously let out joyful, long hisses, and their auras became more than half as powerful as before.

"Beast Armor?"

Elder Hui, who was nearby, saw this scene and let out a soft exclamation, a look of wonder flashing across his face.

As the name suggests, Beast Armor is naturally armor refined specifically for certain spirit beasts. Unlike the ordinary armor of the human race, these Beast Armors not only have miraculous defensive effects but can also stimulate the potential of the spirit beasts in a short period, greatly increasing their strength.

However, this type of Beast Armor can only be refined for certain special spirit beasts, and only the Spirit Race possesses the secret refining techniques, so it is rarely seen in the outside world.

This Elder Hui was also seeing it with his own eyes for the first time; seeing the auras of those eight Cold Water Rhinos increase so much, his heart naturally felt somewhat heated.

Now, this Long Family Elder was also not idle; he threw out a blood-red small umbrella and cast a series of spell seals at it, causing the treasure to transform into a ball of blood light that made one want to vomit, shooting toward the high sky.

After a short while, everyone had finished casting their spells.

Immediately, under Saintess Qianqiu's urging of the eight Cold Water Rhinos, the giant ship flew toward the distant sea of lightning like a crossbow bolt.

Han Li stood at the side of the giant ship's railing, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the sea of lightning they were about to enter, his expression extremely calm.

At the bow of the ship, Saintess Qianqiu's expression was stern, and the Spirit Race youth named Zhishui, who was standing quietly beside her, had a twitch in his wooden face the moment the giant beast entered the sea of lightning. At the same time, a mysterious golden talisman marking suddenly appeared on the palm hidden in his sleeve, flickering slightly.

At the same time, one of the giant golden crab's pillar-like lower limbs in the dark clouds suddenly trembled slightly, and an identical golden talisman marking appeared on its surface, but after a flash, it disappeared, and there were no other changes.

And all of this was completely unknown to the Long Family Ancestor and the others below.

On the island in the sea of lightning, a white-clothed woman sitting by a pond of emerald green water had a pink flower marking flash between her brows. Immediately, a pair of star-like beautiful eyes opened, revealing a faint, light smile.

This woman's smile was enough to make all flowers lose their color.

Behind the woman, a hideous, burly man in black armor saw the woman's smile and was momentarily dazed. By the time he came to his senses, the white-clothed woman's figure had already vanished from the pond without a trace.

"Hehe, it seems those fellows have finally arrived." The black-armored man whispered, a ferocious look appearing on his face. After his figure flickered, he strode rapidly in a certain direction.

On a giant island permanently shrouded in black gas, located an unknown distance from the Demon Source Sea and the sea of lightning, at the top of a giant peak that almost pierced the clouds, a seemingly young youth in black robes was standing in front of a small field, leaning over to observe a crystal-clear, purple-red spirit herb, his expression extremely focused.

This herb field was only a few zhang in size, but the low walls built around it were made of pieces of purple-gold crystal, and the soil in the field consisted of tiny crystal grains that looked like white jade. Each grain was plump and emitted a pungent, strange fragrance.

In several other large fields adjacent to the herb field, other unknown spirit herbs were planted.

Near these fields, strange plants a zhang tall were planted. Each one was as straight as a knife or sword, and at the top, they bore a long, slender fruit as red as blood, a foot long and extremely sharp at one end.

It was precisely the Blood Tooth Rice that Han Li had seen once before.

However, the one he had seen was only half a foot long, and both its fragrance and plumpness were clearly far inferior to these.

These spirit objects, which were incomparably precious in the eyes of ordinary demon clans, were now planted casually around the fields like ordinary spirit herbs, dividing these fields into irregular plots.

In the other fields, dozens of types of spirit herbs were all planted together. Only in the micro-field in front of the black-robed youth was there only that solitary purple-red spirit herb.

Moreover, this spirit herb was only five or six inches long, neither flowering nor fruiting, with only five or six slender leaves. Apart from being somewhat crystal-clear, it was impossible to see anything special about it.

But the black-robed youth stared at this spirit herb without blinking, as if his entire spirit was focused on it.

Suddenly, a ball of black light flared on one of his wrists, followed by a black, shining talisman marking appearing on his skin.

The black-robed youth continued to stare fixedly at the spirit herb in front of him, not even glancing at the anomaly on his wrist.

After a good while, the purple-red spirit herb suddenly let out a "Puchi" sound, emitting a layer of golden-yellow light, and its leaves rapidly turned a pale silver color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, a flash of joy appeared on the black-robed youth's face.

But the next moment, the purple-red spirit herb suddenly trembled, withered and shrank instantly, and finally vanished into a wisp of gray gas.

"How is this possible? It failed again. Where exactly did I go wrong? Is the cultivation time of the spirit seed too short, or is the purity of the Milky Way Dust I used insufficient?"

The black-robed youth's face twisted. After a low roar, he stood up abruptly and struck the field in front of him with his hand, shooting out a pitch-black ball of light.

With a loud "Rumble," the entire mountain peak shook.

The moment the field touched the ball of light, it instantly vanished into dust, leaving a pitch-black hole in the ground. Its edges were extremely smooth, and it appeared to be bottomless, reaching the base of the mountain peak.

After a good while, the black-robed youth's face finally calmed down, and only then did he lift his wrist to glance at the black talisman marking that had appeared on it.

"Hmph, someone is actually trespassing on Bitter Spirit Island again. It's probably those fellows from the Spirit Realm who don't know life from death! Very well, I will take you to bear the anger of this ancestor." The youth sneered to himself. With a flick of his sleeve, a ball of black light rolled out, and a three-headed black dragon over a hundred zhang long appeared in the void in front of him.

Red eyes, bloody claws, and black flames spraying from its mouths!

"Go, to Bitter Spirit Island!" After the youth's figure blurred, he appeared bizarrely on the body of the three-headed dragon and gave a cold order.

After the three heads of the black dragon let out low roars, clouds of black gas appeared under its four feet. Its massive body immediately soared into the sky, and after circling in the air, it carried the black-robed youth and shot straight toward the sea of lightning.

Deep within an endless mountain range in the Demon Realm, in an underground palace, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe lay quietly inside a transparent crystal coffin.

On the side of the golden-robed man's neck, a golden talisman marking was flashing, but his eyes were tightly closed, and he remained motionless, looking as if he were neither dead nor alive. ===== CHAPTER 2110 =====
