Chapter 2271

With a "pu" sound! The seemingly ordinary palm actually pierced through the red light and struck the crimson giant hand solidly.

The crimson giant hand, which was over ten times larger than Han Li's palm, was immediately permeated by an irresistible invisible force. After trembling slightly, it turned into powder without a sound.

The giant puppet was expressionless, the crimson light on its body surging, and phantoms of several beasts resembling oxen and tigers appeared vaguely on its body, letting out a roar before pouncing toward Han Li.

But at this moment, Han Li's eyes flashed with essence, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of green sword light. It flashed and appeared near the giant puppet, circling its massive body once. With a "gudong" sound, the puppet's massive body, despite the wild flashing of spirit light, was unable to resist and was sliced in two from the waist, flipping over and falling.

As for the monster phantoms that had just appeared on its body, they all let out a whimper and vanished into wisps of green smoke.

But the next moment, after the puppet's two halves were coiled by the rolling crimson flames emerging from the crystal stones on the ground, red light flashed at the cut, and countless crystal threads sprayed out, pulling them together fiercely.

The puppet's two halves reconnected instantly, and after the scars on its surface flashed a few times, they healed as if nothing had happened.

However, seeing this, Han Li didn't say a word, simply pressing a palm down into the void.

With a "boom" loud noise!

A golden light hand the size of a mu appeared out of thin air above the puppet, slapping down with its five fingers spread.

The giant puppet felt a sudden weight on its body, followed by a heaven-shaking giant force pressing down mercilessly.

After white marks appeared all over the puppet's body, it completely burst into a ball of red light.

In the explosion, a golden light ball the size of a fist shot out from the fragments, flickering and appearing to want to escape.

Han Li seemed to have expected this, cold-snorting, and the five fingers he had extended suddenly retracted, grabbing into the void.

With a "whoosh" sound!

The golden light ball was instantly shrouded by a giant force, and after a tremor, it was grabbed into Han Li's palm out of thin air.

Han Li looked down, and it was a golden ball covered in exquisite runes and holes.

This ball felt weightless in his hand, as if it were completely empty inside.

"It really is quite different from ordinary puppets; the mystery probably lies entirely in this object," Han Li tossed the golden ball in his hand twice, a look of interest flashing across his face.

Yin Yue, who was on the side, saw this scene, but a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Although she knew that Han Li's strength after advancing to the Grand Ascension stage was far beyond what she could truly imagine, there had never been a true standard for comparison, so she had been unable to see through the extent of Han Li's strength.

But just now, the power of this giant puppet was something she knew she definitely wasn't a match for, yet it had been wiped out by Han Li between his fingers.

This finally made Yin Yue understand the extent of the gap between her and Han Li, and she couldn't help but sigh greatly in her heart.

Just as Yin Yue was sighing secretly, silver flames reappeared in the void, gathering fiercely.

A muffled sound!

The silver firebird reappeared.

But this time, Han Li didn't urge the firebird to continue forward, instead putting away the golden bead, sweeping his spiritual sense around faintly, and pinching a seal with an expressionless face.

With a "pu" sound!

The silver firebird let out a clear cry, its body suddenly swelling to a massive size.

In an instant, a behemoth over a hundred zhang long appeared at the center of the sea of fire.

The rolling fire waves nearby were forced back by the giant firebird, yielding a large, empty space.

"Collect!"

Han Li didn't stop there, instead pointing a finger at the giant silver bird in the void, letting out a low shout.

"Boom boom boom" sounds rang out. The giant firebird's two silver wings flapped fiercely, countless silver runes surging from them, and a massive suction force rolled out toward all directions.

A buzzing sound rang out from the sea of fire that had been forcibly pushed back, and waves of fire rolled, transforming into a dozen fire pillars that coiled toward the giant firebird.

As the crimson flames touched the firebird's body, they merged into it without a sound.

And for every bit of crimson flame it absorbed, the firebird's body grew a bit more.

After a cup of tea's time, the sea of fire nearby was sucked dry, finally revealing the true appearance of the area.

Yin Yue swept her gaze around, her expression filled with astonishment.

They were standing on a high platform a thousand mu in size, covered in crimson crystal stones.

Around the high platform was a vast, boundless depression, filled densely with deep pits of various sizes.

In these pits, various spirit lights flickered, and they were all filled with Demon Crystal Puppets of various heights.

These puppets wore five-colored armor, holding various weapons of different lengths, or carrying some strange demonic artifacts, and there were even some ferocious-looking beast-shaped puppets among them.

Looking from afar, these puppets were filled with murderous intent, numbering nearly a hundred thousand.

Han Li raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping rapidly, and he had basically checked the situation of these puppets.

These puppets were mostly of high tier. Most had the strength of the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stages, and the Spirit Severing or Void Refinement stages accounted for more than one-tenth.

But the most eye-catching were the dozens of top-tier puppets that looked similar to the giant puppet that had just been destroyed.

Although these dozens of Demon Crystal Puppets were still far from the late Body Integration stage, they had the strength of the early to mid-stages.

If such a massive force were all brought to the outside world, it would likely be enough to make many major powers gape in shock.

"So this Weeping Spirit Ancestor was actually a grandmaster of refining Demon Crystal Puppets. This is truly an unexpected joy," Han Li touched his chin with one hand, saying with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Han, how do you intend to deal with these puppets?" Yin Yue had also been dumbfounded for a long time. Hearing Han Li's words, she finally sobered up a bit, asking with a hint of heat in her voice.

"How to deal with them? Naturally, take them all away. Do you intend to leave them for the Demon race members who come later?" Han Li said without hesitation.

"Good, then I'll help collect them," Yin Yue said excitedly.

Han Li naturally had no reason to disagree, nodding with a light smile.

Yin Yue didn't say a word, her figure moving as she drifted into the air. Raising her jade wrist, several storage bracelets transformed into light balls of various colors, flying out and toward a large area of puppets in one direction.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but after flicking a sleeve, dozens of colorful rings shot out as well, circling in the high air before whistling toward several other directions.

As these storage bracelets spun, light of various colors rolled out from them.

The Demon Crystal Puppets swept by the light mist vanished from the pits in a blur, leaving no trace behind.

Although the number of puppets here was astonishing, with both of them working together, all the puppets were soon collected.

However, when collecting those dozens of top-tier Body Integration stage puppets, the crystal light on their bodies flashed, actually showing signs of resisting the storage bracelets' spirit light.

Seeing this, Yin Yue let out a light "Yi," but immediately became happy instead of angry. Flicking her ten fingers, streaks of various techniques shot out, vanishing into the bodies of the top-tier puppets.

These giant puppets trembled slightly, then gave up their resistance and were collected into the rings as well.

And when the last puppet vanished from its pit, the entire giant platform roared, suddenly sinking into the ground on its own.

Seeing this, Yin Yue didn't dare to be slow, hurriedly flying back and landing on the giant platform again.

Han Li's expression flashed with a hint of strangeness. Raising his hand, he let the giant firebird vanish into thin air, then stood there with his hands behind his back.

Amidst the roaring sounds, the giant platform sank nearly a hundred zhang into the ground before stopping with a violent tremor.

But at this moment, Han Li and Yin Yue both looked in the same direction.

On a gray-white stone wall opposite them, an inconspicuous green stone gate stood quietly.

"Let's go. I didn't sense any more restriction fluctuations inside. It seems this is the Weeping Spirit Ancestor's true treasure storage," Han Li suddenly smiled.

Yin Yue nodded, her face also showing excitement.

The two of them walked toward the stone gate.

When they reached a distance of only a few zhang from the gate, Han Li raised his hand and pressed down into the void from afar.

Under the push of a giant force, the stone gate opened inward without a sound.

Light shone brightly from behind the gate, and a giant hall-like space could be vaguely seen, with long stone piers placed inside, covered in various items.

A trace of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he walked into the gate with Yin Yue without hesitation.

Arriving in the hall, Han Li swept his gaze left and right before truly seeing everything inside.

Only then did he see that on each stone pier several zhang long, there were boxes and jade cases of various sizes, or various artifacts of different styles placed directly on them.

These treasures either shone with dazzling light, making one dare not look directly at them, or looked ancient and dilapidated, appearing completely unremarkable.

Judging from the aura they radiated, every single one of these artifacts was a top-tier treasure that would drive people in the outside world crazy.

However, Han Li only swept a glance at them, and his gaze was entirely attracted by the three stone platforms in the center of the hall, which were larger than the others.

On these three exquisite stone platforms, three different things were placed.

A rusty green ancient dagger, a pale yellow gourd, and a pitch-black flying boat no more than half a chi long.

After Han Li swept his spiritual sense over these three treasures, a look of being moved could not help but appear on his face.

Yin Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, and she was also attracted by these three treasures, revealing a curious gaze.
