Chapter 2158: Volume 10: The War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2135: Battle of the Absolute Array (Part 1)
As soon as Han Li heard these words, his expression changed drastically, but before he could hesitate to take any action, the mist before his eyes suddenly dispersed, and all he saw was green light flickering—it was a world of thunder and lightning ten thousand acres in size.
Strands of green electric arcs and clusters of green thunder balls densely covered every part of the void, and a portion of them were bombarding a cluster of yellow light halos at the center with roaring sounds.
And within the light halo, a black demonic beast several dozen feet long was spraying clouds and spitting mist!
This beast had strange horns on its head, its appearance resembled a crocodile, and its body was covered in pitch-black scales. The black mist it sprayed transformed into more than a dozen giant tentacles, frantically striking at the green electric lights outside the yellow light halo.
Many electric lights, once struck by these black tentacles, turned into wisps of green smoke with a 'zi liu' sound.
And behind the black demonic beast, a woman in white sat cross-legged on a pink lotus flower, one hand forming a seal, the other holding a short yellow bronze rod. Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and her body was motionless like a wooden carving.
Strands of yellow light flew out incessantly from the short rod in the woman's hand, and then poured into the outer light halo, looking as if she were using her own magic power to resist the thunder and lightning attacks from all around.
However, there were simply too many green electric lights all around!
Almost every moment, thousands of electric lights were striking the light halo simultaneously.
Even though the yellow light halo seemed indestructible and capable of restraining the power of thunder and lightning, under such frantic attacks, it flickered between bright and dim, vaguely appearing unable to hold on any longer.
After Han Li clearly saw the woman in white's face, his pupils shrank slightly, but his gaze immediately swept to other directions, and he saw two other people.
These two people, one was a woman in a blue robe, and the other was a slim young woman, standing respectively at the edges on both sides of this world of thunder and lightning.
One of them stood on a giant blue turtle with six green flags about a foot long hovering in front of her, and the other stood on a golden giant wheel, holding a silver demonic statue in one hand.
The person who spoke was precisely the young woman standing on the golden wheel.
Seeing these two people, Han Li's gaze flashed, and his expression could not help but darken.
Although he did not know the origin of the blue-robed woman, the young woman was exactly the same as the image of the Liu Ji incarnation that Zi Ling had later had her trusted aide pass to him in a jade slip.
Although she only had the cultivation base of the late Body Integration stage, he naturally dared not treat this woman as an ordinary late-stage Demon Venerable.
As for the blue-robed woman, from the fact that he could not see through her specific cultivation base when his spiritual sense swept over her, it was clear that the other party was a Demon Race Ancestor, and her true body had arrived in person.
With this, even if he had the Crab Daoist's help, the trouble of facing these two people would be absolutely not small.
However, the sudden arrival of Han Li and his group clearly also exceeded the expectations of the two women.
After the young woman swept her gaze over Han Li, her brows furrowed, and she said indifferently to the blue-robed woman: "Sister Lan, what is going on? Didn't you guarantee that in this Six Absolutes Green Thunder Array, we would not be disturbed by anyone? How did these people appear here? Why didn't your incarnations appear to stop them?"
"Do you think such a super array is so easy to set up? My incarnations have to cooperate with other subordinates to barely set it up and trigger it. And the attacks of the restrictions in other parts of this magic array, although not as powerful as here, are not something ordinary existences can easily pass through. I also want to know how they managed to break into this place." The blue-robed woman snorted and replied unhappily.
"Speaking of which, it's because this Six Absolutes Green Thunder Array was originally incomplete; otherwise, if these people had broken in, how would you and I have been unaware until now? Now, I'm afraid there will be extra trouble." After the young woman swept her gaze over Han Li and the Crab Daoist, she seemed to have noticed something and sighed.
The blue-robed woman and the young woman were precisely the Blue Waterfall Ancestor and one of Liu Ji's incarnations who had plotted to join forces earlier.
After the two gathered many subordinates, they finally investigated Baohua's whereabouts, and then spent several days setting up the Six Absolutes Green Thunder Array, a super magic array, in this place. By borrowing their understanding of Baohua and a series of interlocking schemes, they finally forced Baohua and the Black Crocodile out of hiding nearby and lured them into the super magic array.
The Six Absolutes Green Thunder Array itself was naturally extraordinary in power, but another mysterious aspect was that before it was activated, there was almost no fluctuation. Even an expert with great divine abilities like Baohua, if not careful, would fall into it without knowing.
This was also the fundamental reason why the two chose this ancient strange array despite knowing it was incomplete.
Everything that followed was a matter of course.
In a situation where her vitality was greatly damaged and she could no longer urge the Profound Heaven Flower Tree to protect her, even though Baohua also found the eye of the array, under the joint containment of the Blue Waterfall Ancestor and Liu Ji's incarnation, even after using several supreme treasures on her body, she could only barely hold on.
In the end, even the Black Crocodile, whose injuries were equally serious, had to reveal its true form to fight for its life.
And just at this critical moment, whether it was truly heaven's will, Han Li and the others inadvertently broke into the magic array and appeared in this place.
At this moment, hearing the young woman's words, the Blue Waterfall Ancestor sneered: "It's just a mere late Body Integration stage, what trouble is there? I can solve it with one finger... Eh, who is this person? It seems not to be a flesh-and-blood body, and the aura is somewhat familiar?"
The woman had only said two sentences when her expression suddenly changed, and her gaze fell on the Crab Daoist with some surprise.
"Sister has finally discovered it too. If I am not mistaken, this Fellow Daoist should be the pseudo-immortal puppet that originally existed in the Demon Source Sea, and as for the one beside him, it is the Fellow Daoist Han who has recently stirred up such chaos in our Sacred Realm." The young woman's gaze flowed, and she said slowly.
"What, it's the two of them." The blue-robed woman's expression changed.
Han Li was one thing; although he had quite a reputation now, he was not yet a Great Ascension existence and was not taken too seriously by an old-school Ancestor like the Blue Waterfall Ancestor. But the Golden Sacred Crab was a pseudo-immortal puppet that had existed in the Demon Source Sea for who knows how many years, and almost every Ancestor existence had seen it several times, so they were naturally greatly apprehensive of it.
"I never thought I would see the two of you here; it is truly a great honor! However, Han is just passing through this place, and I hope the two of you can open a path and let us leave this place." After Han Li cupped his fists at the two women, he said without any signs of abnormality.
As for the Crab Daoist, he turned a blind eye to the two women, his face wooden, and he didn't even have the intention of getting up from the flying carriage.
Witnessing this scene, the young woman and the blue-robed woman's expressions changed again, and they could not help but simultaneously think of the rumors recently circulating that the Golden Giant Crab had already been subdued by the human boy before them.
Regarding this, both of them had originally been half-believing, but seeing the Crab Daoist's silent and obedient appearance, taking Han Li as his leader, they could not help but believe it was true.
"I never thought that in such a remote place, you would bump into us, Fellow Daoist. However, since you are just passing through, neither of us wants to create extra trouble, so letting you leave is not impossible. Sister Lan, what do you think?" The young woman rolled her eyes twice, then suddenly smiled and asked the blue-robed woman.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Crab also being here, I would never let this human boy leave this place alive. A mere human cultivator actually dares to run rampant in our Sacred Realm. If I run into you next time, I will definitely take your life." After the blue-robed woman's gaze shifted between Han Li and the Crab Daoist, a flash of baleful Qi passed through her eyes, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Clearly, this woman was greatly unwilling to let this human cultivator leave the array, but forced by the fact that Baohua was a more important enemy, she could only reluctantly agree.
"Then I will have to trouble the two Seniors." Han Li's heart truly relaxed, but he replied with a slight smile on his face.
As for the struggle between the two demons and Baohua, the original ancestor of the Demon Realm, he naturally had no interest in getting involved in the slightest.
The blue-robed woman snorted again, and one finger suddenly pointed at the six green flags in front of her. Immediately, one of them expanded enormously, transforming into a giant flag over ten feet tall, with green electric arcs coiling around its surface, and a faint, low sound of wind and thunder could be heard.
"Open."
The woman gave a low shout.
The giant flag trembled!
In an instant, a huge thunderclap rang out, and a green electric arc as thick as a flood dragon shot out from the top of the giant flag, condensed into a cluster in the high sky, and transformed into a green symbol the size of a pavilion.
When the green symbol flashed and disappeared into the void, a hole about a foot in size suddenly appeared in the original place, and outside, there was a vaguely visible azure sky.
And at the same time, the green electric light in front of Han Li suddenly parted to the sides, clearing a safe, empty passage.
This Blue Waterfall Ancestor could be considered exceptionally decisive; once a decision was made, even if she was somewhat reluctant in her heart, she immediately opened a passage out of the magic array.
Seeing this, Han Li was naturally overjoyed in his heart, tapped his foot on the flying carriage beneath him, and intended to fly out of the magic array in one go along the passage.
But just at this moment, Baohua, who was trapped in the yellow light halo by countless electric lights, sighed faintly and opened her beautiful eyes. At the same time, she moved her lips and said words that made Han Li's face change drastically: "Fellow Daoist Han, do you still want to find the Small Spirit Heaven? If this concubine truly falls here, I believe there will be no second person in the world who can accurately find the location of that Small Spirit Heaven."
"How do you know I want to find that Small Spirit Heaven!" Han Li stood motionless on the flying carriage, his gaze fixed on the woman, and after his face shifted several times, he suddenly replied.
"It seems Fellow Daoist Han has a poor memory; could it be that you have forgotten that the little girl beside you once stayed with this concubine for a period of time? How could she not know about the Small Spirit Heaven? Although I don't know who or what you are looking for in the Small Spirit Heaven, Fellow Daoist, there is no doubt that for you, it must be an extremely important matter." Baohua's expression remained unchanged, and she said unhurriedly. (To be continued)
