Chapter 2191: Volume 10 Demon Realm War Chapter 2169 Wood Tribe War (13)

After a short while, a humming sound echoed through the void, a flash of green light appeared, and a jade-green formation disk materialized in a palm, with a spell seal flashing and vanishing into it. 【#Flying_Speed_Chinese_Net】

The next moment, the joyful voice of the Wood Clan warrior came through immediately:

"Han brother, are you still alright on your end? I've already finished preparations here and can activate the restriction. You've already drawn those Sacred Ancestor incarnations into the mountain range—I'll activate the grand formation to trap them."

"No need for all this trouble—keep that restriction for now; save it for the next wave of enemies. I'm fine on my end." Han Li replied calmly, one hand holding the formation disk, the other gripping a black axe, examining it with interest.

This axe was clearly the demonic weapon previously used by the golden-armored demon tribe member.

In the nearby void, aside from the Crab Daoist and the wounded, scarred spiritual forms, there was no other figure in sight.

However, the ground within a hundred miles was riddled with pits and craters, not a single spot remaining intact.

Evidently, not long ago, a far more intense battle had erupted here.

"What? What do you mean by that, Han brother?" came the uncertain voice of the Wood Clan warrior from the formation disk after a moment of silence, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Those Sacred Ancestor incarnations were already dealt with by me and Brother Crab working together. The restriction you now control should naturally be kept." Han Li flicked his wrist, and the black axe in his hand blurred before vanishing, as he chuckled lightly in reply.

In the recent battle, he and the Crab Daoist had easily defeated the golden-armored warrior and two other demons.

It was only because the three fled in desperation that it took considerable effort to finally slay them one by one.

"Han brother and Crab brother—your divine abilities are truly beyond my imagination. Still, with this, our second formation eye is now completely secure." The Wood Clan warrior exclaimed joyfully upon hearing this, and the voice from the formation disk carried a tone of newfound reverence.

Clearly, Han Li's displayed strength had made this Wood Clan composite being no longer dare to treat him as an equal; his words now carried a faint trace of awe.

Han Li gave a faint smile, about to reply via the formation disk, when suddenly a deep, rolling thunder echoed from the high heavens. White light flashed wildly in all directions, waves of disturbance surged from some distant horizon, sweeping past him in just a few tremors.

Almost simultaneously, the formation disk transmitted a low cry from the Wood Clan warrior.

Han Li's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flickering uncertainly for a moment before he slowly sent a mental inquiry through the disk:

"Brother Cao, was that strange phenomenon just now also the destruction of the First Formation Eye?"

"Han brother guessed correctly—the backup Sacred Tree shows the First Formation Eye has indeed been destroyed. Those demon Sacred Ancestors truly launched simultaneous attacks on all three formation eyes." The Wood Clan warrior's voice, tinged with bitterness, came from the disk.

"This was expected. I imagine we'll have a second wave of guests arriving here soon." Han Li replied with a cold chuckle.

"Han brother, you and Brother Crab should return to rest for now. If more Sacred Ancestor incarnations come looking for us, we'll likely need both of you to hold them off—so it's wise to recover as much spiritual power as possible." The Wood Clan warrior paused, then sent this message.

"That makes sense. Han brother and I will go rest now." Han Li's eyes flashed, and he nodded in glad agreement.

He said nothing more, stowed the formation disk, and called out to the Crab Daoist as they shot into the sky.

In an instant, the two transformed into twin rainbows, piercing the void as they flew straight toward the heart of the mountain range.

Beneath the void where they had been, the ground suddenly burst with brilliant green light—the previously shattered earth instantly turned lush and verdant, covered in countless grasses and shrubs.

Trees sprouted at visible speed, growing frenziedly into towering hundred-zhang giants that swiftly obscured every trace of the battlefield.

Half a day later, in the void tens of thousands of li beyond the mountain range, a sudden thunderous roar erupted—"Boom! Boom! Boom!"—as a black line flashed across the horizon and vanished, followed by a vast surge of dark energy rolling toward the mountain range like a tidal wave.

Within this awe-inspiring black mist, a small, pitch-black mountain-like palace loomed indistinctly.

On a platform atop the palace, seven demon men and women in varied attire stood side by side, whispering softly to one another.

Each of the seven exuded an immensely powerful aura—clearly not ordinary demon elders.

"That old ghost She and his group are truly useless—we two batches succeeded smoothly, but they vanished without a trace after their departure. Even now, they've caused us to make an extra trip." A tall demon man radiating faint blue light complained angrily.

"In terms of true strength, the five fellows led by Daoist She are probably not much weaker than us seven. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed to operate independently to handle this formation eye. As for their failure so far, they're likely trapped by some powerful restriction." A graceful woman in palace robes replied with a light laugh.

"Hmph, we and Daoist Sha's two groups handled things easily—only She's side ran into trouble, which just proves those five are incompetent." The tall demon man rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed with the nickname "Old Ghost She."

"If those five were merely trapped, that'd actually be good. But what if they encountered a powerful enemy and suffered misfortune? Then we seven would need to be extra cautious." An old man with yellow hair said coldly.

"That's impossible. With their abilities, unless they met a Mahayana-stage existence, they could at least protect themselves. As for being unable to contact them, it's likely due to this place's restriction—nothing strange about that." The palace-robed woman laughed lightly, appearing unconcerned.

"Regardless, whoever is guarding this formation eye and managed to stop She's group must have some skill. We'd be wise to stay cautious—no harm in that." The yellow-haired old man continued, expressionless.

"Since Elder Ji said so, we'll naturally be more careful." Others in the demon group replied casually.

The other demons also mostly nodded in agreement.

The yellow-haired old man was about to speak again when his face suddenly changed—he jerked his head up, eyes sweeping toward the high sky.

"What is it, Elder Ji? Did you discover something?" the other demons asked, finding it strange; the tall demon man couldn't help but speak.

But before the yellow-haired old man could answer, an incredible, terrifying surge erupted in the high heavens—green light flickered, and a strange, green-tinged light curtain appeared, flashed once, then transformed into a vast, sky-covering net that slammed downward."Oh no—dodge!"

The yellow-haired old man's face changed, he let out a loud shout, rolled to the ground, and transformed into a giant yellow-feathered eagle, wings flaring as he shot into yellow light and fled from the palace.

The other six demons were equally startled, all activating evasion techniques to burst into the sky and flee in all directions.

The green light curtain covered an area of over a hundred mu, descending with lightning speed—after one flicker, it swept up all the black mist below, even trapping four demons who couldn't escape in time, dragging them into the curtain.

The three who escaped hurriedly reversed their escape light, circling back without a word, their auras suddenly surging as they prepared to attack and rescue their comrades inside.

But the descending curtain instantly blazed with light, and as it flashed, it transformed into an enormous, incomparable light sphere, which let out a long cry and shot straight into the high heavens, vanishing in an instant.

The three demons outside stared in shock, then flew into rage, preparing to pursue with their escape lights.

But just then, the high heavens trembled again—two figures, one green and one gold, flickered into existence, perfectly blocking the three demons' escape path.

The yellow-haired old man and the two demons with him startled, immediately turning wary as they swept their gaze toward the two figures.

The green figure was none other than Han Li, who had crossed space to arrive. After glancing at the three demons, he spoke calmly:

"Since you three were lucky enough to escape the restriction, I'll send you on your way first. Don't worry—after dealing with you three, I'll naturally send your companions along too. I won't let you feel lonely."

As his words fell, Han Li suddenly slapped his heavenly crown with one hand—immediately, a radiant golden Nascent Soul flew out, followed by a clear ringing from his body, and five clusters of golden light shot out, instantly transforming into towering virtual images of a giant ape, colorful phoenix, silver roc, peacock, and golden dragon—each several zhang tall, spinning endlessly around him.

The Nascent Soul wasted no time, beckoning with its small hand toward the surroundings.

The five true spirit virtual images flashed and vanished, one by one merging into the Nascent Soul's body.

A thunderous boom!

The pale golden Nascent Soul's body erupted in blinding golden light, and when the light retracted, Han Li and the Nascent Soul vanished together—replaced by a towering, eerie figure.

This figure's entire body blazed with golden light—skin and face covered in a layer of faint golden scales, a green horn sprouting from the skull, and a black, demonic eye strangely appearing between the brows.

Han Li had directly activated his cultivation technique, manifesting the first stage of the Nirvana Sacred Body transformation.

As for the Crab Daoist beside him, after a thunderclap rang from his body, he appeared amidst countless intertwining silver arcs—revealing his true form: a hundred-zhang-long giant crab.

The three demons below witnessed this scene, and their faces instantly turned extremely grim.

After several hours, at the first formation eye of the Mu Realm Grand Formation, it had been completely covered by rolling demonic qi, and below, countless demon clan armored soldiers could be vaguely seen, densely and neatly arranged.

Above this demon army, a group of high-ranking demons stared at each other with grim expressions.

"Fellow Daoist Ji and the others have also lost contact! It seems the second formation eye truly has a problem. Otherwise, it would be impossible for two batches of fellow Daoists to go one after another and not even a single message to be sent back." A demon youth wearing exquisite black battle armor said slowly. 【To be continued
