Chapter 2277: Insect King Born

(Chapter 2278: Insect King Born)

Half a day later, in a secret room with strict restrictions on the Saint Island, Han Li sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, a milky-yellow ball of light floating in the air before him, with a pale yellow gourd the size of a fist faintly visible inside.

This item was none other than one of the three top-tier treasures Han Li had obtained from the Qi Ling Secret Treasure.

Another green ancient halberd had been given to Silver Moon.

The last top-tier treasure was the "Mo Ling Saint Boat"!

The green ancient halberd was fused with a Mysterious Heaven treasure fragment of unknown origin, possessing several strange and powerful metal and wood attribute divine abilities.

The Mo Ling Saint Boat was not only massive in size and astonishing in speed, but also possessed the great divine ability to tear through the void. Compared to its reputation as one of the top three flying supreme treasures in the Demon Realm, it was truly worthy of the name.

Only this yellow gourd was refined from unknown materials. Not only did it naturally possess the ability to absorb divine sense power, but the lid at the gourd's mouth seemed to have grown onto the gourd, making it impossible to open with ordinary methods.

For a time, Han Li was unable to investigate what was inside, let alone know the true purpose of this treasure.

However, when he grabbed the upper part of the gourd and shook it, a "rumbling" sound came from within, showing that the contents were likely extraordinary.

The mystery of this gourd naturally aroused Han Li's curiosity.

When he obtained this item in the Demon Realm, he simply swallowed it into his belly and refined it day and night with his true essence.

After so many days, he had finally refined most of this treasure and should be able to truly open it.

Han Li stared at the gourd for a while, formed a seal with one hand, and flicked his ten fingers continuously.

"Pfft pfft" sounds rang out!

Dense five-colored runes shot out, vanishing into the gourd in a flash.

Han Li let out a low shout, formed a strange seal with one hand, and suddenly, golden light flashed behind his back. A golden phantom with three heads and six arms appeared, and a ball of black energy surged on its brow, condensing into a pitch-black magic eye.

Black light flared in the magic eye, and with a sound of breaking air, a pitch-black crystal thread shot out, circling the gourd's mouth.

The entire gourd trembled, and the lid rolled off the top on its own.

A roar rang out!

Points of yellow light surged from within, turning into dense, earthy-yellow sand grains.

Each of these sand grains was crystal clear, with wisps of yellow energy flickering on them.

As they emerged together, they turned into a sand mist a zhang in size, floating in the high sky, appearing completely unremarkable.

Han Li first showed a hint of surprise, but after sweeping his divine sense over the yellow sand mist, his expression changed to one of shock.

"Fierce Evil Golden Steel Sand. It's actually this treasure, and it has been carefully refined again, seemingly completely fused with this gourd. This Saint Ancestor Qi Ling was truly capable to collect so much of this rare material," Han Li murmured, unable to resist grabbing at the yellow sand mist in the void with one hand.

"Chi chi" sounds rang out, and an invisible suction force instantly rolled over the yellow sand mist.

With a "bang," points of crystal light flashed in the yellow sand mist, and each sand grain spun, gathering into a crystal-clear sand ball, instantly becoming incredibly heavy.

After the sand ball appeared, the sand mist became incredibly heavy, and after moving only a small distance, it stopped in place.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but be moved.

Although he hadn't used even one-tenth of his divine strength in that grab, its power was enough to make even Body Integration existences not dare to take it head-on, yet it couldn't do anything to this sand ball.

One could see the strangeness of this Fierce Evil Golden Steel Sand.

Han Li, who had learned of this rare material from some ancient texts, knew that its most powerful aspect was not this, but two other terrifying divine abilities.

"This is an unexpected joy! However, this item can only exert twelve percent of its divine abilities in my hands. Even if it were in the hands of that Saint Ancestor Qi Ling, I fear he wouldn't be able to display even half of its power," Han Li murmured with a smile. After saying this, he formed a spell with his hand and shook the gourd at the distant sand mist.

With a "pfft!"

The sand ball collapsed on its own, drowning back into the rolling sand mist.

The sand mist blurred, turning into a giant yellow python that lunged at the gourd. A roar came from within the pale yellow gourd, sucking the yellow python inside. At the same time, light flickered on the top, and the lid that had fallen off reappeared on it, looking exactly as it had before.

With a flick of his sleeve, the gourd in his hand vanished in a flash of golden light.

After putting away the treasure, Han Li began to regulate his breathing quietly in the secret room.

An hour later, when he opened his eyes again, he flicked his wrist, and a pitch-black ring flew out silently.

Han Li murmured a few incantations and pointed his fingers at the ring several times.

Amidst the flashing golden light, a pitch-black object sprayed out from the ring, flickering and hovering motionless in the low sky.

It was an egg covered in fine purple patterns, pitch-black in color, the size of a watermelon, and quite massive.

Han Li looked at the giant egg, his brow furrowing slightly. He beckoned lightly, pulling the object toward him.

Spreading his five fingers, he pressed his hand onto the black egg, then narrowed his eyes and moved his mouth continuously, seemingly probing it with some secret technique.

After a moment, Han Li's expression shifted, revealing a look of pleasant surprise: "It's only a step away from hatching. Very well, I will help it along."

As soon as he finished speaking! Han Li took a deep breath, and the five fingers he had pressed on the egg flared with golden light, a massive amount of true essence rolling out and injecting into it.

The previously unremarkable egg flickered with crystal-clear purple patterns, and its volume began to expand and contract.

In an instant, "bang bang" heartbeats began to emerge from the egg.

From small to large, one after another, gradually becoming clear.

Han Li's eyes flickered, and the pure true essence rolling out from his palm did not stop for a moment, like a floodgate opening.

After a full hour, the black egg shattered inch by inch amidst the flashing light, and a streak of golden light shot out. After a blur, a purple-gold little person three cun tall appeared in the high sky.

This little person had all its limbs, its eyes were as crystal-clear as jade, but it had no beard, hair, mouth, or nose; only a ball of golden mist could be faintly seen on its face.

"Is this the legendary Gold-Devouring Insect King?" Han Li looked at the purple-gold little person, his expression somewhat strange.

But the next moment, the previously dull eyes of the purple-gold little person flickered, actually looking at Han Li.

At nearly the same time, Han Li felt a chill on both sides of his neck, and two streaks of golden light a chi long appeared without any warning, lunging toward the middle.

Han Li's face changed, but his entire body blurred, vanishing from his original spot like a ghost.

The two streaks of golden light crossed, passing through the empty space at an incredible speed before flickering and vanishing.

Fluctuations emerged, and Han Li appeared in another corner of the secret room.

But as soon as he appeared, he had a look of shock. He moved one hand and touched his neck.

As a result, a blood line appeared on both sides of his seemingly smooth neck. Although faint, it looked as if it had been grazed by a sharp blade.

With the strength of Han Li's physical body, to be injured so easily was truly beyond his expectations!

Han Li felt a chill in his heart. Looking at the purple-gold little person not far away, his expression became somewhat solemn. Suddenly, he opened his mouth, spitting out a ball of essence blood, and pointed a finger at it.

The essence blood spun, actually turning into an unknown blood-red rune, which Han Li urged to grow to the size of a peck, flickering and flashing.

At the same time, the purple-gold little person's body shook, and an identical rune appeared on its brow, vanishing into its head in a flash. Han Li let out a low shout, and the purple-gold little person's body arched, trembling violently, as if suffering some kind of intense, direct pain.

But the next moment, the little person suddenly straightened its body and slashed its ten fingers at Han Li in the void.

Ten dazzling sword lights a zhang long appeared before Han Li and slashed down like lightning.

Before the sword light truly touched Han Li's body, a wave of chilling coldness rolled down, and his protective spirit light was unable to block it in the slightest.

Even with Han Li's current cultivation, he couldn't help but shiver upon contact with this coldness, his limbs becoming incredibly sluggish.

Seeing ten dazzling sword lights intertwining and slashing down, about to slice Han Li into a dozen pieces, a cold snort suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this snort, the purple-gold little person felt its head struck by a giant hammer, and its body stumbled, nearly falling from the sky. 【2277-71

The ten blinding sword lights were affected by this and could not help but dim and become chaotic.

Han Li took this opportunity to twist his body, transforming into a bolt of lightning to escape from the sword lights, appearing unhurriedly in another place not far away.

And almost at the same time, that blood-colored talisman the size of a peck had already transformed into a ball of blood light and shot straight toward Han Li.

Han Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and countless spiritual sense crystal threads shot out from between his brows, all of which flashed and submerged into the blood-colored talisman nearby.

The originally flickering talisman suddenly condensed and unexpectedly became motionless by force.

At this moment, the purple-gold tiny figure suddenly let out an extremely sharp cry, followed by a "thud" sound, and it directly fell over.
