Chapter 2261: Spiritual Sense Chain and Punishment Thunder
The silver chain was crystalline and bright, appearing and disappearing, as if it were not a real body.
The Mother of Ming Insects twisted its body violently, actually unable to break free from the chain several times in a row.
"This is a Spiritual Sense Chain, impossible! You... you actually cultivate the Refining God Art divine ability! How could this secret technique have fallen to the lower realm?" After the Mother of Ming Insects scanned the chain a few times, a look of disbelief appeared on its face for the first time, and even a trace of fear faintly flashed across it.
At this time, the giant ape Han Li had transformed into was expressionless and silent, its six arms forming hand seals, and a low, ancient incantation transmitted from its mouth.
In an instant, the silver chain tightened, binding the Mother of Ming Insects even tighter by several points.
"Even if you know the Refining God Art, so what? With your bit of spiritual sense power, can you truly bind my True Extreme Body!" The Mother of Ming Insects was after all no ordinary person. In a moment, it recovered from its shock. After a soft shout, five-colored runes surged on its body, and the other two heads, which had originally been closed, suddenly opened their demon eyes, flashing with gloomy and cold light.
In an instant, two other strange auras appeared on the Mother of Ming Insects' body, and the magic power fluctuations that had originally vanished actually began to recover slowly on its body.
Witnessing this astonishing change in the Mother of Ming Insects, the giant ape Han Li had transformed into revealed a look of extreme strangeness on its face, suddenly saying a sentence that made the insect mother somewhat confused.
"I never expected this divine ability to truly turn defeat into victory, but to trap you for a moment is enough."
"What do you mean by this?" The Mother of Ming Insects was stunned. After scanning the surroundings rapidly, it found no trace of a third person aside from Daoist Crab, who was sitting motionless in the distance.
But the moment this word was spoken, a rumbling thunder sound came from above the abyss.
A cluster of dazzling, gorgeous light rays flashed, and a five-colored lightning pillar intertwined with countless electric arcs actually slashed down aggressively.
"No, it's the Punishment Thunder! Old Ghost Hekang, you actually haven't died yet?" The Mother of Ming Insects, who had originally been calm, screamed as if its soul had flown away upon seeing this lightning pillar, its face filled with disbelief.
Its three heads shook violently, and a layer of pitch-black flames suddenly rolled out on its body, and the pitch-black crystal core in its body hummed loudly.
In its anxiety, the insect mother actually did not hesitate to self-destruct its crystal core to fight to the death.
The silver chain that had originally bound the insect mother tightly was rolled by that layer of black flames and actually presented a state of melting.
The Mother of Ming Insects looked like it was about to break free.
But just at this moment, a heaven-shaking boom erupted in the high sky, and the five-colored lightning pillar fell with unbelievable speed, slashing fiercely onto the Mother of Ming Insects' massive body.
In an instant, countless electric arcs intertwined and wreathed, shrouding the Mother of Ming Insects under the five-colored lightning light.
A piercing scream!
The Mother of Ming Insects' body, which looked indestructible, actually crumbled inch by inch under the five-colored electric light, and in just a few breaths, it vanished into thin air.
The five-colored lightning pillar flashed a few times and then vanished suddenly, only able to last for an extremely short time.
And in the high sky above the water's surface, that five-colored cloud cluster that had just opened like a giant eye also vanished silently.
The entire sky turned gray and misty again, as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, a muffled sound of pain came from a black bowl on a stone platform in a mysterious stone forest in the underground palace, and several chains connecting to ancient lamps suddenly shook violently.
The only ancient lamp shining on the bronze pillar flickered suddenly, its light becoming even dimmer, as if it could be extinguished completely at any time.
"That was truly quite a stretch! This one strike consumed ninety percent of my remaining soul power. If this kid cannot help me, I have truly suffered a huge loss this time. But being able to completely erase that bitch can be considered as avenging the old grudge of her backstabbing me. That bitch probably never imagined that I could still be alive today. Haha, calculating it this way, I still have to thank this kid from the lower realms... otherwise, who knows how long I would have had to wait to avenge this grudge." The man's voice let out a laugh that sounded nearly insane.
At this time, Han Li couldn't care about the fact that the Mother of Ming Insects had been killed so easily. The giant ape he had transformed into was rolling on the ground while holding its middle head, letting out a roar of extreme pain.
Its massive body shrank rapidly while rolling, retracting its Dharma form. The purple-gold battle armor on its body faded away into purple-gold scales at a speed visible to the naked eye, then retreated again.
After a full cup of tea's time, Han Li restored his original form, barely standing up, and shook his incomparably heavy head, which felt somewhat dizzy.
The transformation just now not only caused him great loss of true essence, but the Spiritual Sense Chain he had transformed into also almost exhausted his spiritual sense power.
Such a tragic battle was something he hadn't experienced for a long time.
Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel a trace of lingering fear.
"Brother Crab, are you alright?" Han Li looked at Daoist Crab, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the distance, and asked, his voice actually somewhat hoarse.
"I'm fine, just need to rest well for a period of time. But within the next few months, I cannot fight with anyone again. Otherwise, this body will truly suffer irreparable damage," Daoist Crab opened his eyes and said slowly.
"I understand. In that case, you should rest in my spirit beast ring for a period of time first. I will handle everything in the future," Han Li nodded understandingly and said.
"That's fine. I don't have much self-protection power now, so staying outside is indeed a burden," Daoist Crab thought for a moment and said without opposition.
Afterward, he immediately formed hand seals with one hand, and silver light flowed on his body, rapidly shrinking and transforming into a miniature golden crab the size of a palm.
Han Li shook his sleeve, and a five-colored light ray rolled, taking the golden crab into his sleeve and storing it in an exquisite spirit beast ring.
Only then did he turn his head and say indifferently toward a certain direction in the distance:
"Fellow Daoist Baohua, you have been watching from the side for a long time, it's time to appear. Although the secret technique you used just now consumed a lot of origin energy, it shouldn't have left you without any self-protection power, right?"
"Brother Han truly has spiritual sense power far exceeding us. But what you said just now is truly a misunderstanding of me." In the seemingly empty void over there, fluctuations arose, and Baohua appeared with an exceptionally pale face. But the moment she appeared, she said to Han Li with a bitter smile.
Although the woman's mouth was full of explanations, the gaze she cast toward Han Li could not hide a trace of shock.
Clearly, Han Li's battle with the Mother of Ming Insects and the astonishing divine abilities he displayed made this distant Demon Race ancestor feel greatly horrified, feeling far inferior.
Therefore, when facing Han Li now, although her expression still appeared calm, she couldn't help but have deep wariness in her heart.
"Fellow daoist should be very clear that being able to kill this Mother of Ming Insects is not my credit, but someone else's strike," Han Li shook his head and took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, pouring out several emerald green pills and swallowing them before speaking slowly.
"But if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Han's astonishing divine abilities, actually having a way to trap this insect mother for a moment, that Punishment Heaven Thunder, although powerful, would never have been able to kill this insect mother. But having said that, who exactly is this person who can manipulate the heavenly thunder? Not only do they know everything that happened here, but they also have a way to transmit sound directly to the two of us. If it weren't for this person transmitting sound, the two of us would probably have truly fled for our lives just now. Does Brother Han have any thoughts about this person's identity?" Baohua frowned, then asked solemnly.
"I am also knowing of this person's existence for the first time. But since they can urge such astonishing heavenly thunder, they are clearly definitely not someone from the lower realm. Plus, this is the place of the ancient seal, and this person seems to know the situation of this Mother of Ming Insects very well. In this way, this person's identity should also be self-evident. Fellow Daoist Baohua, with your intelligence, you should have thought of this point as well, right?" Han Li was silent for a moment before chuckling.
"It seems Brother Han and I thought of the same thing. That person is most likely one of the two True Immortals who sealed this insect mother in ancient times. Otherwise, all of this cannot be explained. But now this Mother of Ming Insects doesn't seem to be the original one either. Its Primordial Spirit also seems to know the Immortal World exceptionally well. Could it be that the Primordial Spirit of another Immortal World True Immortal occupied this insect mother's body?" Baohua nodded, but revealed a look of doubt again.
Han Li touched his chin, and his face also revealed a look of contemplation.
"If the two little fellows want to know the reason, why not come directly to me? Wouldn't everything be clear then?" Above the abyss, a faint man's voice suddenly came, peaceful and warm, exactly the person who had transmitted sound to them earlier.
Han Li and Baohua's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, and they couldn't help but look at each other with wariness.
"It seems the two of you are still somewhat uneasy about me. But it doesn't matter, since the Mother of Ming Insects has already died, the void created by its power will naturally collapse immediately. The two of you will see me before long." The man didn't care about Han Li and Baohua's hesitation at all, instead laughing lightly.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Baohua felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly asked with her sandalwood mouth open.
But the void all around was silent, and the man's voice stopped abruptly, with no more words coming.
And almost at the same time, a muffled sound came from the bottom of the abyss, and the surrounding seawater shook violently.
