Chapter 2168

In the void about a mile away, countless specks of blue light suddenly surged forth once more. After condensing, they formed into crystal-clear human figures identical to the previous eight, appearing in the vicinity of Han Li and Crab Daoist. They were densely packed, numbering at least a hundred.

"Impossible!"

Upon seeing this, Han Li's heart was filled with horror as he secretly cried out.

If these newly appeared figures truly possessed the same abilities as the previous eight, wouldn't that mean he was facing nearly a hundred enemies at the Demon Venerable level?

Even if Yuan Sha was a Demon Venerable, she absolutely could not possess such heaven-defying divine abilities.

After Han Li took a deep breath, a blood-colored scar split open on the brow of the giant ape he had transformed into. A mass of black Qi surged out, transforming into a pitch-black demonic eye that stood upright—it was none other than the Destruction Dharma Eye!

The pitch-black pupil of this demonic eye moved slightly, and a cold, piercing gaze swept across all the figures in the surroundings simultaneously.

"So that's how it is."

A buzzing roar erupted from the giant ape's mouth, and one of its arms suddenly reached out to grab into the void ahead.

Space rippled, and after the front half of the arm blurred, it actually sank into the void and vanished.

At the same time, in front of one of the newly condensed crystal figures, a flash of golden light appeared, and a furry giant hand reached out from the void, grabbing with lightning speed.

A bizarre scene unfolded!

The previously expressionless crystal figure suddenly showed a look of panic. Both hands slammed horizontally in front of its chest, and with a burst of blue light, a pale blue ice shield condensed out of thin air, hovering before it. Then, it stomped its foot, and its body shot backward like a crossbow bolt.

This crystal figure was completely different from the previous eight; it didn't dare to take the giant ape's grab head-on at all.

But the giant ape Han Li had transformed into let out a loud shout, causing the nearby void to buzz. On the other side, the golden furry hand became indestructible; after its five fingers spread, it crushed the blue ice shield into pieces.

After a muffled sound from the arm, it surged forward another stretch.

The crystal figure fleeing backward felt the golden furry hand blur before it, and then its chest suddenly grew hot. A tearing, excruciating pain surged into the depths of its soul, and it couldn't help but let out a miserable shriek.

Its face, which had originally resembled Yuan Sha's, changed instantly, transforming into the appearance of a sharp-eared, monkey-cheeked Thunder God. It lowered its head with extreme difficulty, only to see the golden furry hand had actually pierced through its chest.

"Bang!"

A surge of silver flames rolled up from the golden palm, instantly engulfing the demonic creature.

The demonic creature let out a few more miserable shrieks before falling silent abruptly.

At this moment, the golden furry hand shook and vanished into thin air in a flash.

The golden furry giant ape slowly retracted its extended arm.

And almost at the same time the demonic creature perished, the other crystal figures scattered throughout the space all burst apart on their own, turning into specks of blue light and vanishing into the void.

Below, Yuan Sha's expression changed slightly for the first time upon seeing this.

That crystal demonic creature was an extremely rare Crystal Image Beast she had raised. Not only could it drive the power of extreme cold, but it was also adept at this innate divine ability to manifest hundreds or thousands of incarnations. Under normal circumstances, as long as the main body could not be identified by the opponent, this beast could almost sweep away all enemies below the Saint Ancestor realm by relying on its numerous incarnations.

Yuan Sha had relied on this beast to slay countless powerful enemies, but now, within a few breaths of being released, its weakness had been easily seen through and it had been killed by Han Li.

This was far beyond Yuan Sha's expectations, and the slight arrogance she had originally felt vanished by more than half.

However, the Crystal Image Beast's life-bound demonic core had long been refined into one with her own Primordial Spirit. Although the physical body was lost, as long as she returned and refined it with secret techniques for a period of time, she could still resurrect the beast.

Therefore, although Yuan Sha's vigilance had increased, she did not show too much anger.

"You truly have some ability; no wonder you were so arrogant just now. But if you really think you can contend with a Saint Ancestor by relying on these minor tricks, you are gravely mistaken. I don't know under what circumstances you encountered other Saint Ancestors before, or if there were any misgivings or restrictions. But here and now, with me exerting my full strength, you absolutely have no chance of winning." After Yuan Sha spoke these cold words, she formed a seal with one hand. Behind her, blue light flashed, and a blue pillar of light shot into the sky.

The next moment, the phantom of a giant wolf, several dozen feet tall, appeared above the great hall, its entire body shrouded in blue light, its eyes rolling with purple flames.

A terrifying aura that was almost suffocating radiated from the giant wolf phantom, instantly filling the entire sky and pressing down toward Han Li and the others.

The giant ape Han Li had transformed into was struck by this powerful aura, and after his body trembled, he actually took several steps back.

Although Han Li was invincible among those in the Body Integration realm, facing the full pressure of an existence at the Mahayana stage, he couldn't help but retreat.

Beside him, Crab Daoist's expression remained unchanged, but he flicked one of his sleeves, and a layer of golden light screen flashed and appeared, shielding both himself and Zhu Guo'er within it.

When the terrifying aura pressed toward Crab Daoist, the golden light screen before him only flickered slightly before enduring it unscathed.

Zhu Guo'er, standing beside him, was also completely unharmed.

"This is Yuan Sha's life-bound demonic manifestation; it's truly terrifying! Brother Crab, how much magic power have you recovered? Can you exert your full strength?" Han Li looked toward the distant blue giant wolf phantom, a trace of misgiving flashing across the giant ape he had transformed into, and he turned his head to ask Crab Daoist.

"I am still some distance away from recovering to the Mahayana stage; my strength alone is not enough to repel the opponent," Crab Daoist replied woodenly.

"Brother Crab is not alone; there is also Han Mou. This time, if we don't repel this Saint Ancestor Yuan Sha, she won't easily let us leave. Fellow Daoist, just do your best," the giant ape buzzed.

"If we join forces, we indeed have a chance of winning," Crab Daoist replied after his eyes flickered slightly.

Hearing this, Han Li felt relieved. The giant ape he had transformed into no longer hesitated and slammed his chest with both hands. Several colorful light clusters flew out from his body, and after circling and dancing for a while, they transformed into the Dharma manifestations of the Heavenly Dragon, Colorful Phoenix, and Heavenly Peng.

At this moment, the Brahma Saint Golden Body also lunged at the giant ape's body and merged into it.

The next moment, the golden furry giant ape's body expanded tenfold, becoming a mountain-like behemoth. At the same time, after the golden light on his body blurred again, he let out another roar and transformed into a three-headed, six-armed image.

Crab Daoist took a large step forward, and amidst a burst of golden light, he revealed his mountain-like golden giant crab main body. A thunderclap sounded on his body, and countless silver electric arcs shot out, weaving into a giant thunder net that shrouded his entire body.

Seeing the transformation of the giant ape and the golden giant crab, Yuan Sha's pupils shrank slightly. Without a word, she flipped her palm, and a small, pale-white hammer suddenly appeared in her hand.

It was three feet long, and its surface was covered with golden patterns resembling eyes, densely packed, numbering at least a hundred.

Yuan Sha flicked her wrist slightly, and the small hammer began to glow. The hundred eyes opened simultaneously, revealing pale golden pupils that rotated slightly.

Just looking at it made one's hair stand on end!

Yuan Sha let out a cold snort, moved the small hammer in her hand, and suddenly threw it into the void.

With a loud boom, a giant pale-white hammer shadow suddenly appeared in the high sky and smashed down fiercely.

The sound of wind and thunder erupted from the hammer shadow.

Han Li's eyes flashed with a sharp light, revealing a look of surprise.

The target of the pale-white hammer shadow was not the location of him and the golden giant crab, but an inconspicuous small hill to one side.

With the terrifying momentum of the giant hammer shadow, if it really hit, the small hill of only a few hundred feet would likely be pulverized in an instant.

Just at this moment, a faint man's voice suddenly came from the hill:

"Fellow Daoist Yuan is truly worthy of being a Demon Saint Ancestor; you discovered this old man so quickly!"

As soon as the voice fell, a silver rainbow rolled up from the hill, and after just one flash, it collided with the hammer shadow.

A thunderous sound shook the earth!

The silver and white light instantly intertwined, turning into a giant ball of light that expanded and burst, the violent fluctuations turning into gusts of wind that rolled in all directions.

The surrounding hills and dense forests were all turned into powder in the fluctuations, making the nearby ground extremely flat.

And when the hurricane finally dissipated, two figures had appeared above the only remaining hill.

Han Li was startled and hurriedly looked over, his mind instantly shaken.

The two figures were a man and a woman. The man wore silver robes, his long black hair draped over his waist, his face like a maiden's, with a faint smile on his face.

The woman had a graceful figure, snow-white skin, and straight long hair behind her that shimmered like pure silver. Her face was surprisingly beautiful, giving one a sense of being refined and otherworldly!

As soon as this woman appeared, she stared deeply at the giant ape Han Li had transformed into with a pair of pale green beautiful eyes, her expression quite excited.

Upon seeing the man, Yuan Sha's expression changed drastically, and she shouted coldly with a face like frost:

"Ao Xiao, you old fellow, you actually dare to sneak in here alone? Are you not afraid of truly falling here?"

That man was none other than the only Mahayana existence of the Demon Race, the ancestor Ao Xiao who came from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan!

As a Mahayana ancestor of the Demon Race, his appearance in the Wood Race territory was truly unexpected.

The silver-haired woman beside him was naturally Silver Moon, whom Han Li hadn't seen since they parted ways at Mount Mount Kunwu in the mortal world—the 'Linglong Fairy' of the Spirit World.

Han Li was stunned to see Silver Moon, but immediately became ecstatic. However, before he could open his mouth to ask anything, ancestor Ao Xiao chuckled and spoke first:

"Yuan Sha, if you really had the ability to keep this old bone of mine, I wouldn't have appeared here. But the situation now is, with me plus these two fellow Daoists, I wonder how much chance of winning you still have. Don't end up unable to keep me and instead find yourself unable to handle it."
