Chapter 2165: Volume 10: The War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2142: Returning to the Wood Race

As for Han Li and the others, the demon guards on the black giant boat were all wearing silver battle armor and outer fiery red battle robes, with the lowest cultivation base being at the Spirit Transformation stage or above.

And just at the bow of the ship stood over a hundred people, among whom were several Demon Venerables at the Body Integration stage.

The gazes the Demon Race guards cast toward Han Li and the others were also full of shock and doubt, and for a time, they didn't understand what was going on.

According to the original plan, this space passage was requisitioned for the entire day today, and only a war boat like theirs should be entering and exiting. But now, how could a flying carriage fly over from the opposite side!

Just as the flying carriage and the giant boat were about to cross, and the demons on the giant boat were still in shock and hadn't reacted, a voice that was exceptionally old suddenly came from the cabin of the giant boat:

"Hmph, so it's an alien race from the Spirit Realm! Since you've arrived here, don't be in such a hurry to go back; accompany this old man back to the Sacred Realm."

As soon as the words fell, a killing intent that felt almost physical surged out from the cabin, followed by fluctuations in the void above the flying carriage, and a white, hazy space crack split open.

A ghost-like whistling sound arose!

A white bone giant claw several feet large reached out from within and grabbed fiercely toward the bottom.

Before the five white, bone-like fingers truly grabbed down, five strands of gray-white baleful Qi rolled out from the fingertips.

The light screen on the outermost side of the flying carriage shattered as soon as it touched the gray-white Qi, unable to hold on for even a moment.

Han Li, standing in the flying carriage, had his face change drastically. Without hesitation, he let out a low roar, golden light erupted from his body, and amidst the frantic expansion, he transformed into a golden-furred giant ape several feet tall.

The giant ape's two arms blurred, and then two furry fists smashed fiercely toward the high sky.

Golden fist shadows flashed and appeared again!

After a 'Booming' roar, the gray-white baleful Qi and the fist shadows collided, and were forced to scatter, but the originally golden fist shadows shrank by nearly half, and their light also became exceptionally dim.

The Crab Daoist, standing to the side, had cold light flash in its eyes. After opening its mouth, a golden light pillar sprayed out, and after a flash, it struck the palm of the white bone giant claw almost simultaneously with the fist shadows.

A muffled sound like a bell ringing erupted!

Golden light exploded beneath the bone claw, and amidst the interweaving and fusion, it formed a giant light ball like a golden sun, spinning incessantly.

That giant bone claw, although containing incomparable power, could not help but freeze slightly in the air under the support of the golden light.

At the same time, fluctuations arose in the nearby void, and the entire space hummed. In some places, the void even began to twist and blur; this section of the space passage was becoming somewhat unstable.

The Demon Race guards standing on the giant boat all had their faces change drastically, and many of them had expressions of panic in their eyes.

If it were truly a space collapse, none of these people would be able to escape.

But just at this moment, a cold snort came from the giant boat's cabin!

The five fingers of the bone claw suddenly closed, and the five bone fingers grabbed toward the light ball like blades.

A 'Pu' sound!

The golden light ball actually shattered and disappeared in an instant under the claw's grab.

Seeing this, Han Li sucked in a cold breath in his heart.

However, at this moment, the magic power in his body had long been mobilized to the limit, and he poured it frantically into the flying carriage beneath him.

A 'Sou' sound.

The flying carriage trembled, and disappeared from its original place.

The next moment, in a place over a hundred feet ahead, space fluctuations arose, and the flying carriage appeared again in a flash, transformed into a green light, and shot away.

The white bone giant claw trembled, and collapsed with a muffled sound.

Witnessing this scene, the group of demons could not help but look at each other in dismay.

"Go, don't worry about them; the journey is urgent!" After a long while, the emotionless, old voice came from the cabin.

"Yes, Master!"

There was a commotion at the bow of the ship, and many people were busy again. And

After the light on the giant boat's body flowed, its escape speed increased by more than half, and it shot toward the other end of the passage.

"Master Swallowing Heaven, just let them go like this? Should we send more people to catch them back?" A twelve or thirteen-year-old demon boy, standing before the white-haired old man lying on a grand master chair in the cabin, asked with unwillingness.

"Forget it. This old man has important matters to attend to, and these few little bugs can just be let go. And besides, unless this old man strikes personally, I'm afraid no one else has the ability to catch them back." The white-haired old man wore a soap-colored robe, his two hands were unusually long, reaching past his knees, and he said indifferently.

"They truly have such divine abilities? But, Master Swallowing Heaven didn't even use much real power just now." The boy had a delicate face with several purple demonic patterns on it, and upon hearing this, looked somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, this old man didn't use real power, but the two guys who struck to block also didn't use their full divine abilities. If they truly fought, this old man wouldn't be able to take them down in a single encounter." The old man seemed to dote on the boy before him, actually explaining with a smile.

"They actually have such divine abilities! It seems these alien race people should also be characters with quite a background." The boy rolled his eyes, thinking deeply.

"Outside the passage, these mere alien race people would only be able to obediently surrender before the Ancestor." The boy hurriedly added with great flattery.

The old man laughed a few times and narrowed his eyes, twisting his beard, seemingly very happy with what the boy said, but in reality, he still had some doubts in his heart.

The fair-skinned young man who sprayed golden light on the flying carriage just now had an aura that made him feel somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Forget it, wait until we return to the Sacred Realm, then have someone investigate. Since I can't remember clearly, it shouldn't be too important a character." The old man finally pondered secretly like this.

Three or four hours later, at the other end of the space passage, several teams of Demon Race guards were patrolling at the exit.

On the ground below, there were three giant triangular towers a thousand feet tall, arranged in a 'pin' shape on the ground.

Suddenly, fluctuations arose in the passage, and a flying carriage wrapped in green light shot out, and after a few flashes, it flew straight over a patrol team.

This naturally shocked the nearby patrol teams, and piercing sharp cries rang out from all directions, rushing toward the flying carriage with an aggressive momentum.

At the same time, the triangular towers below also began to glow with faint light, and stone doors of various sizes appeared out of thin air on the side walls.

Figures moved within the stone doors, and a large number of demons swarmed out.

But the speed of the flying carriage was not something these Demon Race guards could imagine. After the 'Chi Chi' sound of breaking air, the faint phantom of the flying carriage arrived at the end of the horizon, and after another flash, it disappeared completely.

At this time, several Demon Venerables from the triangular magic towers roared and flew out.

"Not bad, this is indeed the Wood Race territory. Many years ago, I visited the Wood Race once, and the tree environment here is quite unique; I shouldn't be mistaken." In the void tens of thousands of miles away, the flying carriage was still speeding along, but Han Li, who was on the flying carriage, had his expression gradually become solemn after observing the scenery along the way.

"This is the Spirit Realm; it is indeed very dense in spiritual Qi, much stronger than our Small Spirit Heaven." Zhu Guo'er looked left and right incessantly, extremely excited.

Many of the humans in the Small Spirit Heaven were cultivators from the Spirit Realm who had drifted there, so naturally, whenever the descendants who had never left the Small Spirit Heaven spoke of the Spirit Realm, they were quite emotional, speaking of all its various benefits.

"Although the Spirit Realm is good, our Human Race's influence in the Spirit Realm is not too great, and now we are in a time of crisis, so it is not as good as you imagine." Han Li withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said.

"Regardless, the Spirit Realm is indeed more suitable for our Human Race cultivators to cultivate than the Small Spirit Heaven. By the way, Senior, when do you intend to return to the Small Spirit Heaven? You must take this junior with you then." Zhu Guo'er smiled and hurriedly added.

"Rest assured, even if you didn't say it, I would take you with me. After all, I am not too familiar with the Small Spirit Heaven and still need a guide." Han Li replied without hesitation.

"Then this junior thanks Senior first." Zhu Guo'er was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express her thanks.

Han Li nodded and said nothing more, continuing to urge the flying carriage to shoot forward.

With his full mobilization of the flying carriage's escape speed, he naturally wouldn't fear any pursuers behind him.

But this time, after the flying carriage had flown for half a day, Han Li's expression became increasingly solemn after observing the scenery along the way.

Although giant forests appeared one after another, some of the trees began to appear dark green, looking completely different from the other lush green trees.

As the flying carriage flew over more and more regions, these dark green trees became more and more numerous, and even dense forests where nearly half of the giant trees were of this type appeared.

In such dense forests, some strange purple-black gases permeated, although it was only a faint layer, exceptionally thin, but it still made people feel extremely uncomfortable after seeing it.

Although Zhu Guo'er had little experience, after seeing so many of these trees along the way, the excitement on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by an expression of shock and doubt.

"Senior Han, these trees seem to be extremely similar to the plants of the Demon Realm. And the mists they emit seem to contain demonic Qi as well. What is going on?" After flying for another distance, Zhu Guo'er finally could not help but ask.

"I am not too clear yet, but it is likely some means used by the Demon Race. And we have flown for such a long distance, yet we haven't discovered any Wood Race people, which is even more strange. Although the Wood Race is not as good as our Human Race, their strength should not be underestimated." Han Li's face shifted between light and shadow for a while before replying solemnly.

"Senior's words are reasonable; as long as we leave that space passage a bit further, we might be able to run into Wood Race people." Zhu Guo'er felt it made sense and could not help but nod repeatedly.

Han Li said nothing more and continued to urge the flying carriage to hurry on his way.
