Chapter 2304: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2285: Battle of the Asura (Part 4)
"It truly is the body of a Five-Colored Peacock! Wonderful. I never expected the Five-Light Clan to have someone like you, Fellow Daoist. I must have a proper exchange of pointers with you."
"Exchange of pointers? What is the meaning of this!" A strange glint flashed in the Five-Colored Peacock's eyes as it spoke in human language.
"Haha..." Han Li tilted his head back and yawned. He didn't say anything more, but his aura changed, and a wave of five-colored light flames surged out from within his body.
Amidst the flickering five-colored light flames, Han Li's figure blurred, and he actually transformed into a gorgeous, enormous spirit bird—it was shockingly another Five-Colored Peacock!
"What, you are also a member of the Five-Light Clan... No, the aura is wrong. You only refined some of the True Blood of our clan's Holy Bird to be able to transform into the Holy Bird's form." The Five-Colored Peacock opposite him was startled at first, but then a strange light flashed in its eyes, and it immediately discovered some subtle differences.
"You certainly have eyes like torches, Fellow Daoist, seeing through Han Mou's transformation technique at a glance." Han Li sneered, and the peacock he had transformed into shook its wings. The five-colored glow on its body intensified, immediately rolling toward the opposite side like a surging wave of light.
"Good, very good. To actually dare to display the Divine Light technique in front of this old man, then let this old man give you a lesson so you know what the true Five-Colored Divine Light is," the old man surnamed Yi said, laughing out of extreme anger.
As soon as he finished speaking, the peacock he had transformed into shook the long feathers on its body, suddenly turning them into countless five-colored arrows that shot toward the opposite side.
The sound of "chi chi" instantly filled the entire sky. As the rolling five-colored light flames from the opposite side came into contact with these arrows, they were directly pierced through, creating countless holes of varying sizes.
The massive five-colored wave condensed and immediately slowed down.
With no further resistance, these arrows shot straight toward Han Li.
Seeing this, Han Li was slightly stunned, but the peacock he had transformed into immediately shook its feathers as well. The glow on its body condensed, and strands of five-colored light sprayed out from within.
As each strand of light flickered, it struck every arrow with extreme precision, wrapping around them and then pulling tight with force.
A series of "pi pa" sounds rang out. Under the intense flashing of these arrows, they were forcibly cut into countless fragments.
After these light strands blurred once more, they flashed and vanished from their original spot.
The next moment, ripples appeared in front of the peacock transformed by the old man surnamed Yi. Dense strands of light shot out from the void, and with a trembling flick, they appeared ready to bind him tightly in an instant.
But the moment the light strands touched the body of the peacock transformed by the old man surnamed Yi, the five-colored glow on its body suddenly brightened.
The light strands "pu pu" flashed and sank into it, and no further changes occurred.
Seeing this from afar, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.
The peacock transformed by the old man surnamed Yi let out a long cry, and one of its claws suddenly flashed with five-colored light as it swiped at the void in front of it.
"Pu chi!" A muffled sound rang out!
A massive claw, a mu in size, spanned a distance of several hundred zhang, reaching out from the void and swiping down toward the peacock Han Li had transformed into below.
Han Li sneered, and the peacock's body simply blurred, suddenly vanishing. It appeared on the other side, a dozen zhang away, and opened its mouth to spray a stream of silver flames at the giant claw.
The giant claw looked massive, but the moment the silver flames sprayed onto it, it swiped back with extreme agility.
A muffled sound!
Five-colored crystalline light flowed across the surface of the giant claw, and the silver flames were extinguished instantly. Then, it spread its five fingers and swiped lightning-fast toward the peacock Han Li had transformed into.
Before it had even truly grabbed down, countless five-colored runes appeared and disappeared in the void around Han Li, and layers of invisible restrictions faintly trapped him tightly.
The peacock Han Li had transformed into shook its wings, and a large expanse of five-colored light flames rolled out, but as soon as they hit those runes, they flashed and extinguished as if they had met their nemesis.
Han Li was startled. Without a second thought, the five-colored glow on his body intensified, and all his feathers trembled slightly before shooting off his body. They condensed in the void, transforming into a dozen exceptionally gorgeous five-colored sword lights that flashed and vanished, slashing wildly in all directions.
A harsh sound like metal colliding rang out!
When these five-colored sword lights slashed at those runes, they were forcibly rebounded as if they had hit refined steel, unable to break through the restriction in the slightest.
"Ga ga, this 'Solidifying Heaven and Earth' technique of mine is not so easily broken. Fellow Daoist, just obediently accept your death." Seeing this scene, the old man surnamed Yi was overjoyed. After the peacock he had transformed into spoke in human language, its other claw reached out as well.
Ripples appeared above Han Li, and another giant claw emerged amidst the swirling five-colored glow, also falling toward the space below.
Instantly, more five-colored runes emerged in the nearby void.
The peacock Han Li had transformed into felt its body tighten and truly became unable to move in the slightest.
Just like that, in the old man surnamed Yi's ecstatic gaze, the two giant claws swiped down lightning-fast, one after the other.
The moment the giant claw shadows fell, they stirred up gusts of hurricane-force winds. The void below was affected, twisting and deforming, and the peacock Han Li had transformed into was instantly submerged within.
The old man surnamed Yi let out a burst of wild laughter!
Being able to resolve this great enemy so simply using the Five-Colored Divine Light was truly beyond his expectations.
However, to be safe, the peacock he had transformed into immediately soared into the air. After shaking its wings, the five-colored glow on its body flowed uncertainly before turning into a semi-transparent, glazed color.
Then, the Five-Colored Peacock let out a clear cry and opened its mouth, spraying out a glazed-colored beam of light. It flashed and vanished, arriving at the spot in the void where Han Li had originally been.
But just at this moment, a deep, extremely low roar issued from the twisting void over there. A ball of golden light suddenly shone brightly, and a furry giant palm the size of a water vat suddenly smashed out from within.
The palm spread its five fingers, and its entire body turned a purple-gold color, blocking the glazed beam of light horizontally.
A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise!
The glazed beam of light struck the furry palm and exploded instantly. Waves of heaven and earth origin energy were stirred up, and a glazed, blinding sun emerged from within.
That furry palm had actually relied solely on its flesh and blood to forcibly block the seemingly indestructible glazed beam of light.
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yi became extremely shocked and angry, but before he could think of what offensive to take next, a bone-chilling cold snort suddenly came from the golden light opposite him.
Upon hearing this, the peacock transformed by the old man surnamed Yi trembled as if struck by lightning, actually retreating several steps involuntarily.
At the same time, a ferocious roar erupted from the golden light opposite. A golden fist shadow, resembling a small mountain, soared into the sky, actually shattering the two five-colored giant claws like paper scraps with a single strike. Simultaneously, a terrifying aura, powerful to the point of being unbelievable, rolled out from the golden light, shaking the surrounding five-colored runes until they burst on their own.
Only then did the golden light subside, revealing a massive ape with a purple-gold body, standing over a dozen zhang tall, slowly retracting a massive fist.
"Your original body is a Mountain-Moving Giant Ape... No, that's not right. Even a normal Mountain-Moving Giant Ape couldn't have broken free from my 'Solidifying Heaven and Earth' so easily." After being forced back two more steps by this aura, the peacock spoke in human language, shocked and angry.
"Hmph, what my original body is is none of your concern, Fellow Daoist. On the other hand, I have already experienced the profoundness of your five colors. Now, it is your turn to experience Han Mou's true divine abilities." The giant ape looked at the Five-Colored Peacock opposite him and spoke coldly.
"You truly think that by changing your Dharma body, you can defeat me, Yi! You are simply daydreaming."
Although the old man surnamed Yi felt the terrifying aura of the giant ape opposite him, his face showed no signs of panic. Instead, after a low shout, the light flames on the body of the peacock he had transformed into flashed, and it actually transformed into another appearance.
It had the head of a bird and the body of a human, wore a brocade robe, and had five crystalline long swords of different colors stuck into its back.
He had actually put away the Five-Colored Peacock transformation and turned into a bizarre existence, half-bird and half-human.
"Interesting. You really did have a trick up your sleeve. This is perfect; Han Mou can finally let go and have some fun for once."
A crystalline light flashed in the giant ape's eyes. Suddenly, its two large hands flipped, and two small mountains, one cyan and one black, each a zhang tall, appeared in a flash.
Han Li tossed the two small mountains high into the sky and pointed his finger at the void twice.
Instantly, the cyan and black small mountains, urged by his Dharma techniques, shook and grew wildly in the wind, turning into massive objects over a hundred zhang in size.
At the same time, silver patterns appeared on the body of the purple-gold giant ape Han Li had transformed into, and it grew larger, instantly becoming a massive object three to four hundred zhang tall.
As soon as the giant ape's body took shape again, it hammered its chest, which was like refined steel, with two fists the size of houses, then blurred and grabbed the two small mountains with both hands.
Its two arms thickened, and with a strange roar, it hurled the two mountain peaks fiercely at the monster transformed by the old man surnamed Yi in the distance.
As soon as the two mountain peaks were released, they turned into cyan and black light balls, blurred, and vanished into the void at an incredible speed.
In the nearby sky, a harsh, explosive sound rang out!
The monster transformed by the old man surnamed Yi only felt ripples appear before its eyes, and the two massive objects appeared in front of it in a flash.
Following that, a giant force that would make even a Mahayana existence feel suffocated rushed toward it!
Before it had even truly pressed down, the protective spiritual light in front of the old man trembled violently, and his face felt as painful as if it were being cut by knives.
Facing this scene, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the bird-headed old man. Without seeing any movement from his hands or feet, the five crystalline long swords stuck in his back suddenly flashed with strange light.
After a few "peng" sounds, the five long swords actually appeared in front of the old man as if by teleportation, and after crossing them, they rendered that giant pressure invisible.
But what made Han Li unable to believe his eyes was that when the two giant mountains pressed directly onto the five crystalline swords with the force of a gale, they actually stopped in the void as if they had become still.
Looking from afar, it seemed as if they had truly been forcibly blocked by a mere five long swords.
After advancing to the Mahayana stage and transforming into a giant ape, Han Li naturally knew exactly how much divine strength his physical body possessed.
Seeing this extremely bizarre situation, his pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes completely.
