Chapter 2110: Volume 10: Battle of the Demon Realm, Chapter 285: Spirit Island

In the sea of lightning, the black-green giant ship swayed incessantly amidst the lightning strikes like a leaf, but under the cover of more than a dozen treasures and several layers of light screens, it still rocked its way forward.

The momentum of the lightning falling from the sky was astonishing, but under the joint efforts of the Body Integration existences on the ship, they were all blocked.

However, the bizarre nature of this sea of lightning far exceeded everyone's expectations. As soon as they entered the sea of lightning, the lightning striking from the sky became two or three times denser than before. Moreover, each strike, in addition to the power of lightning, vaguely contained an unknown force; each strike caused the giant ship to sink, weighing more than a million jin.

Although the eight Cold Water Rhinos were desperately pulling the giant ship forward, due to the obstruction of the lightning power and the giant ship's bizarre, fluctuating weight, their movement was extremely slow, and it took a cup of tea's time to travel only a few miles.

If it weren't for the two cyan stone puppets standing at the bow and stern of the ship, occasionally striking out balls of cyan light to forcefully disperse some of the lightning, the giant ship would truly have been struggling to move.

"This won't do! At this rate, when will we reach the island? Fellow Daoist Qianqiu, this spirit ship belongs to you; is there any way to make it faster?" The Long Family Ancestor, standing at the bow, asked the Spirit Race woman nearby with anxiety.

"I can use a secret technique to ignite the essence blood of the eight Cold Water Rhinos, allowing their physical bodies to temporarily become much stronger. But if I do this, these eight spirit beasts will be completely ruined here," Saintess Qianqiu's face twitched, and she replied with some hesitation.

These eight Cold Water Rhinos each had the cultivation of the mid-stage of Void Refinement; they were cultivated by this woman with a great deal of effort and had other major uses. If they were all ruined here, she naturally felt great reluctance.

"What time is it now? How can we still worry about spirit beasts? As long as we can charge out of this area as soon as possible and find the Spirit Cleansing Pool and the Spirit Purifying Lotus, any loss can be compensated for," the Long Family Ancestor said loudly in his urgency.

"Very well, I will perform this secret technique. I hope Fellow Daoists will protect me. This method must not be disturbed," Saintess Qianqiu, as the Holy Saintess of the Spirit Race, was naturally a decisive person. After a moment of thought, she immediately gritted her teeth and nodded.

The Long Family Ancestor was overjoyed upon hearing this and promised loudly:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured. As long as I am here, I will never let any external force disturb you in the slightest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Long Family Ancestor pointed his finger at the two cyan stone puppets in the void, and a layer of golden energy appeared on his face.

The two cyan stone puppets on the giant ship, which were originally swinging their fists to strike wildly at the high sky, had their arms simultaneously drop under the Long Family Ancestor's spell seal. However, their heads lifted, and their giant, single eyes released dazzling white light, as if a ball of scorching flame was flickering in their eye sockets.

The next moment, two crystal-clear beams of light sprayed out from the puppets' single eyes, converging in the empty space above the giant ship to form a giant crystal ball like mercury.

After this crystal ball spun around, countless silver characters surged out from it, actually transforming into a giant shield shimmering with silver light.

The crystal shield was as thin as paper, its surface as smooth as a mirror, and as it trembled slightly, wind and thunder vaguely emanated from it.

Countless silver lightning arcs struck its surface, erupting into balls of electric light as if they wanted to tear everything apart.

However, apart from a ripple on the surface of the crystal shield, it actually blocked most of the rain-like lightning arcs, making the entire giant ship as steady as Mount Tai for a time.

"Fellow Daoist Qianqiu, make your move quickly. This method is the trump card of these two puppets and cannot be supported for long," the Long Family Ancestor said, his face somewhat pale as he continued to pinch spell seals with one hand.

Clearly, urging these two puppets to perform such a great divine ability consumed a great deal of his magic power.

Saintess Qianqiu naturally would not let this opportunity slip by. She promised loudly, immediately lifting her lotus-like arm and using a sharp fingernail to flash across her skin several times.

In an instant, threads of blood appeared on her fair skin, forming a mini blood formation several inches in size.

Saintess Qianqiu chanted incantations, and five-colored light swirled around the blood formation on her arm, with a strange fragrance vaguely emanating from it.

After a short while, the woman let out a soft shout, and after the light of the blood formation trembled, pills flew out from it.

They were as red as blood and the size of beans.

"Go!" Saintess Qianqiu gave a low shout!

The eight pills flashed and transformed into balls of blood light, shooting toward the eight Cold Water Rhinos.

The eight spirit beasts let out low roars like thunder, lifting their heads and opening their mouths wide, swallowing the eight balls of blood light into their bellies.

Seeing this, Saintess Qianqiu retracted her arm, and the blood formation on her face vanished without a trace. However, she pinched a spell seal with her other hand, and after flipping her five fingers, a golden tablet-shaped magic treasure appeared in her palm. With a grab, she shook it violently toward the eight spirit beasts.

The golden tablet emitted ten thousand rays of light, and blood-colored talisman markings appeared on it. After spinning around, they condensed into eight blood-colored light formations identical to the one on her arm earlier.

These blood-colored light formations flashed wildly, then expanded to an astonishing size under the woman's jade finger, finally transforming into eight blurred phantoms that wrapped around the eight Cold Water Rhinos before flashing and merging into their bodies, disappearing without a trace.

The next moment, the eight spirit beasts let out painful roars. The single horns on their foreheads turned blood-red, and thick blue veins bulged from their bodies, their auras becoming incomparably violent!

"Puchi, puchi!" several sounds!

Two long, slender slits opened on the backs of the eight Cold Water Rhinos. After some wriggling and bulging inside, a pair of bright red bat wings actually grew out.

When these bat wings were fully spread, they were ten zhang wide!

The Cold Water Rhinos flapped them violently, and streams of bloody wind surged from beneath them. Their bodies shook, and their originally sluggish movements became incomparably agile, like fish in water.

The eight Cold Water Rhinos transformed into blood arrows, shooting forward.

The giant ship, which had been as slow as an old ox-cart, now flew forward as if it were running, pulling through the thorns and thistles under the efforts of the eight berserk spirit beasts.

Elder Hui and the others, who were urging their treasures to block the lightning and rain, saw this scene and were naturally overjoyed.

But just then, the crystal light flashing in the single eyes of the two cyan stone puppets faded, and they vanished.

At the same time, the crystal giant shield that had blocked most of the lightning arcs flickered a few times before collapsing, silently vanishing into the void.

The lightning that had been blocked outside now struck down wildly!

The several layers of light screens on the giant ship swayed incessantly, and after a crisp sound, the outermost layer of white light screen shattered into pieces.

At this time, the power of the lightning seemed even more violent than before, and one of the spell formations arranged on the giant ship was destroyed in a single strike.

Not only that, but the remaining layers of light screens were also tottering under the violent lightning.

Seeing this, the others' expressions changed, and there was no more joy.

Han Li, who was urging the hundred demon banners on the ship, had his face sink. He suddenly let out a long roar like a dragon's chant, and a flash of golden light appeared behind him, revealing a three-headed, six-armed dharma body.

A thick stream of black gas rose into the sky from the dharma body.

It was precisely Han Li activating the Brahma Saint True Demon Art, directly converting the magic power in his body into an inexhaustible stream of pure demon gas.

With a flick of his sleeve, the rolling black gas transformed into more than a dozen black dragons that pounced into the high sky, merging with the black giant net in the air.

The already somewhat dilapidated giant net flashed with black light, replenishing itself and becoming twice as thick, forcefully blocking nearly half of the lightning arcs falling from the sky.

The lightning power borne by the others and the giant ship decreased significantly. The Long Family Ancestor let out a "Good!" and urged the two cyan stone puppets again.

Immediately, silver light flashed on the bodies of the two stone men. After clenching their giant fists, they struck wildly at the high sky again.

Balls of cyan light struck the high sky one after another, also blocking a portion of the lightning power.

Seeing this, the others felt their spirits lift and exerted their magic power to the limit, unleashing the full power of their treasures. For a time, explosions and rumbling sounds filled the air, but the light screens of the giant ship gradually stabilized.

No one noticed that during such an intense moment, although the pale-faced Spirit Race youth appeared to be urging two silver flying knives to block the lightning power in the air, the entire arm hidden in his sleeve was actually lighting up with mysterious golden talisman markings, almost covering the entire arm, looking truly bizarre.

High in the sky, the mountain-sized golden giant crab, its back covered in sharp spikes, also had golden talisman markings appear on its hard shell. However, these markings flickered in and out of existence on the shell, appearing extremely blurred.

And the entire golden crab remained motionless in the high sky, and even the terrifying aura it released showed no signs of abnormality.

Half a day later, when the giant ship finally forcefully charged out of the sea of lightning under countless lightning arcs, the entire giant ship had become dilapidated. Not only was half of the cabin destroyed, but the eight Cold Water Rhinos pulling the ship had returned to their original appearance, their bodies charred and their auras extremely weak, looking as if they were on the verge of death.

But everyone ignored this, instead examining everything on the nearby sea surface with excitement!

The sea surface here was extremely calm, the seawater was deep blue, and the sky was clear and cloudless. Streams of unbelievably pure spiritual energy, carried in the faint sea breeze, rushed toward them.

Han Li and the others were dazed for a moment, almost suspecting that they had returned to the Spirit Realm!

But what was even more eye-catching was that a giant emerald green island appeared on the sea surface just over ten miles away from the giant ship.

Judging by the direction of the sea breeze, this spiritual energy, which was even purer than that of the top-tier spirit vein lands in the Spirit Realm, came from this island.

"There can be no mistake; this is the island we are looking for. Only a place with such pure spiritual energy could possibly have the Spirit Cleansing Pool and the Spirit Purifying Lotus!" The Long Family Ancestor looked at the giant island, his face flushing an abnormal red, and he muttered as if possessed. ===== CHAPTER 2111 =====
