Chapter 2427

Han Li's expression remained unchanged; he simply stayed where he was, looking indifferently at the place where the rumbling sound came from in the distance.

On the distant horizon, the soil suddenly rolled, forming a thick earth dragon that spread rapidly, as if some giant creature was speeding toward Han Li's side underground.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression moved slightly, but before he could make any move, a thirty-zhang-tall silver giant suddenly rushed out from the yellow sand and dust following the earth dragon.

This giant had green hair, a lion's mouth and ox's eyes, was bare-chested, wore a cyan leather skirt around its waist, its muscles were bulging and knotted, and it shone with silver light as if forged from silver. With just one large stride, it crossed a distance of several hundred zhang, causing the nearby ground to tremble violently.

This giant's body seemed unusually heavy.

Once Han Li saw the silver giant's appearance clearly, a trace of surprise finally flashed in his eyes.

Just at this moment, the giant had already caught up to the front of the earth dragon with a few strides, and after a low roar, its two palms slammed fiercely onto the nearby ground.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Two earth-shaking loud noises.

With the giant as the center, the ground within a radius of several miles collapsed and sank, eventually forming a small basin a hundred zhang deep.

A sharp cry!

A somewhat blurry yellow giant beast suddenly rushed out from the basin, desperately fleeing toward the Mingsha Land.

But the silver giant seemed to have anticipated this, and with a loud laugh and a sway of its body, it flashed and suddenly appeared above the giant beast, raising a giant foot and stomping down fiercely.

"Bang!"

As soon as the yellow giant beast and the silver giant foot made intimate contact, its body trembled and it plummeted from high altitude.

After another muffled sound, a small half of the giant beast's body was forcibly stomped into the ground by the giant foot.

At this time, Han Li finally saw the true face of the yellow giant beast clearly; it was unexpectedly a yellow giant tortoise sixty or seventy zhang long.

Its hard shell was at least half a zhang thick, and it had a yellow horn; its head with a single horn was being firmly stepped on by the silver giant foot, and despite struggling desperately, it couldn't shrink into its hard shell at all.

The silver giant, however, didn't say a word, swung its arms again, and its two massive fists transformed into a flurry of silver fist shadows, smashing down wildly.

In an instant, clusters of silver light exploded on the yellow giant tortoise, and waves of astonishing shockwaves rolled out in all directions.

Even though the yellow giant tortoise had astonishing defense, after a few breaths of time, its entire head was smashed into meat paste by the fist shadows, and its tortoise shell shattered inch by inch in the silver light.

"Bang!"

A large hand of the silver giant finally pierced directly through the giant tortoise's body, and after retracting, a yellow round bead the size of a head appeared in its hand.

Once the giant saw this bead, it let out a wild laugh, flicked its wrist, tossed the round bead into its mouth, and unexpectedly swallowed it into its belly.

Yellow light flashed on the silver giant's body, but after pinching a spell with one hand, it returned to normal.

Just at this moment, the giant suddenly turned its head and glanced toward Han Li's side.

Its eyeballs were silver-white and piercing, as if it had no pupils at all.

Seeing this, Han Li's eyes narrowed.

The silver giant immediately moved its feet and walked toward Han Li with large strides. Before it even got close, it laughed like thunder:

"May I ask if you are also a fellow Daoist attending the Heaven Beyond Heaven gathering? I am Yingangzi of the Tianji Tribe, nice to meet you."

"So it is a fellow Daoist of the Tianji Tribe. I am Han Li of the human race, greetings," Han Li exhaled lightly and cupped his fists from afar in the air.

"Your Excellency is that Han fellow Daoist of the human race who went to the Demon Realm to kill the Mother of Myriad Insects? This is truly a coincidence. I have long heard of your name," the silver giant said, a look of surprise flashing across its face, but it immediately pinched a spell with one hand. Its body shrank rapidly, and in a moment, it transformed into a silver-skinned man about the same size as Han Li.

"Brother Yin, you flatter me. My ability to kill that Mother of Myriad Insects was just a coincidence. On the contrary, I have long heard of the Tianji Tribe's reputation. Your transformation just now is the famous Creation Body of the Tianji Tribe, right? Its power is truly unfathomable," Han Li smiled and said politely.

The Tianji Tribe was also a famous tribe on the Fengyuan Continent. Although there weren't many tribespeople, each had astonishing talents, and their cultivation speed far exceeded other ordinary tribes. If they could cultivate to the high-tier level where they could display the Creation Body, their strength could instantly double.

Therefore, the Tianji Tribe was known as one of the four secret tribes of the Fengyuan Continent, and their high-tier existences rarely appeared in front of others. Being able to meet a Great Ascension stage Tianji tribesman here made Han Li feel quite surprised and shocked.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Han is too modest. The earth tortoise beast I encountered on the road just now had an inner core that was quite useful to me, so I had to transform and chase it all the way here. Since we have met here, why don't we go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven together?" Yingangzi said with a chuckle.

"Since Fellow Daoist Yin invites me, I naturally have no reason to refuse," Han Li yawned, not intending to decline.

"Haha, Brother Han is truly a straightforward person. Let's hit the road then. We can just discuss the matter of that blood-sacrificing immortal on the way. The message that old guy Ming Zun sent me was very simple; I wonder if you know anything about it?" Yingangzi said, appearing very happy.

"I met Fellow Daoist Ming Zun once, and I do know some news. If you want to know, I will naturally tell you truthfully," Han Li smiled and said without hesitation.

"Then I thank you in advance. I have a Green Wave Carriage here; why don't you ride with me?" Yingangzi said with great joy, and then he saw him open his mouth and spray out a cluster of emerald light. After a fluctuation in the high altitude, a green flying carriage thirty zhang long appeared out of thin air.

The flying carriage was triangular, exquisitely carved, and emitted a faint fragrance. There were four silver-armored puppets standing motionless at the front and back of the carriage.

Han Li didn't decline, moved his body, and floated onto the carriage with Yingangzi.

After a moment, the sound of the green flying carriage breaking through the air rang out, and it transformed into a cluster of green light, escaping into the black-green wasteland, and after a few flashes, it disappeared into the horizon.

Half a day later, in the center of the Mingsha Land, in a sea of black wind, the green flying carriage was speeding forward against the strong wind.

Suddenly, the black wind ahead faded, and a strange world appeared out of thin air.

It could be seen that the void ahead suddenly split into two from a height of several thousand zhang, transforming into a black and white world.

The lower half was still a black wind sea world, while the upper half of the sky was a white light curtain, within which countless giant stones of various sizes were vaguely floating motionless.

These giant stones, the small ones were only the size of houses, while the large ones were like giant mountain islands, with some halls and pavilions vaguely visible on them.

"This is the Heaven Beyond Heaven. It's truly interesting."

Han Li, standing at the front of the green flying carriage, looked at the scene in the high sky and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"This place is indeed quite unique! It is said that this place was once a forbidden area of a great tribe in ancient times, but later, I don't know what happened. Not only did this tribe disappear into thin air for no reason, but thick Yin-Sha Qi also sprayed out from the ground here, making this place devoid of all life," Yingangzi, beside Han Li, shook his head and said.

Earlier, after Han Li had a conversation with him in the flying carriage, they got along quite well, as if they were old friends at first sight.

"To be able to make an entire tribe disappear, it seems this tribe provoked some irresistible natural disaster at the time. If it were man-made, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible to make a tribe disappear without a sound," Han Li's eyes flashed upon hearing this.

"Hehe, perhaps so. Eh, it seems the people from the merchant alliance have come to welcome us," Yingangzi chuckled and then said with a light 'eh'.

It could be seen that spiritual light flashed in the light curtain above, and a white flying boat pierced down from it, shooting straight toward the flying carriage where the two were.

After Han Li and Yingangzi exchanged a glance, they naturally stood at the front of the flying carriage and waited.

And the flying carriage beneath them stopped silently in the wind.

After a moment, the white flying boat flashed a few times and arrived nearby, and after the spiritual light converged, it stopped beside the flying carriage.

A man in a blue robe on the flying boat swept his gaze over Han Li and Yingangzi on the flying carriage, a trace of surprise flashing across his face, but he didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed and said:

"Are you Senior Han Li of the human race and Senior Yingangzi of the Tianji Tribe? This junior, under the orders of Lord Ming Zun, has come specifically to welcome the two seniors into the Heaven Beyond Heaven."

"You recognize me? It seems Fellow Daoist Ming has told you juniors all our appearances. In that case, lead the way," Yingangzi ordered with an expressionless face.

Han Li had an indifferent expression, neither confirming nor denying.

"Yes, two seniors, please follow us," the blue-robed man naturally didn't dare to disobey and replied respectfully, then the flying boat turned around and immediately led the way in front.

The green flying carriage, driven by Yingangzi, followed closely behind without leaving an inch.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the green flying carriage finally landed on a floating giant stone several miles in size within the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

On this giant stone, there was unexpectedly a huge milky-white hall, and there were two rows of fully armed merchant alliance armored soldiers standing at the entrance.

After Yingangzi put away the flying carriage, he and Han Li walked into the hall in a grand manner.

Those armored soldiers didn't look sideways, and didn't have any intention of stepping forward to question or block them.

As a result, as soon as Han Li and his companion entered the hall door and passed through a short corridor, they saw Ming Zun, the person in charge of the merchant alliance, in a giant hall over ten zhang high.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Brother Yin, you two have arrived at the same time. This truly makes this old man somewhat surprised," Ming Zun, who was originally sitting in the main chair and talking to several people with extraordinary auras nearby, saw Han Li and Yingangzi walk in and immediately stood up to welcome them with great joy.

The others didn't stand up, but all looked at Han Li and his companion with different expressions.

"Haha, Brother Yin and I met at the edge of the Mingsha Land, so we naturally came together. It's been several thousand years since I last saw Brother Ming, and your complexion is still as good as before," Yingangzi laughed and said without looking sideways.

Han Li just smiled and greeted them, then looked with great interest at the others sitting in the hall. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
