Chapter 2444

"You don't know the bottle spirit? Hmph, it seems you have little to do with that traitor. This is fine too—recovering the bottle's body is an unexpected joy. As for the bottle spirit, a mere lower-realm existence like you has no right to know. Once I capture you and search your soul, I'll send you down to the Nine Springs." Ma Liang's face darkened uncertainly, but he finally let out a cold laugh.

As his words fell, the dark green small bottle in his hand flashed and vanished, while the blood-red seal in his other hand was suddenly flung out.

With a few "puchi" sounds, the blood seal flashed and vanished into thin air, but eight blood rivers descended from the heavens, and after a roll, they transformed once more into eight five-clawed blood dragons, surging forward with overwhelming force toward Han Li.

In the eyes of this true immortal, eight blood dragons comparable to Mahayana cultivators were more than enough to deal with Han Li and his companion.

The crab Daoist's eyes flashed with silver lightning, he rolled on the ground, and in a thunderclap from clear skies, he transformed into a giant golden crab.

With just two fierce sweeps of its massive claws, the crab sent two house-sized lightning balls straight at two blood dragons, and after a flash, it itself turned into a cluster of lightning and charged forward.

Amidst roaring thunder, the golden giant crab immediately engaged the two blood dragons in battle.

Han Li drew a deep breath, slapped the green bottle against his chest, and it vanished from sight. Around him, the blue sword sea hummed, countless blue sword lights intertwined and flickered, then formed a vast sword formation covering an area of a hundred mu.

He pointed a finger at the sword formation in the void, and immediately a cluster of blue light surged at its center, then wildly expanded.

After a long dragon's roar, a blue giant dragon hundreds of zhang long shot out from the blue light.

This dragon's body was dripping with emerald green; as it shook its head and swayed its tail, each spirit fragment flashed with a chilling cold light. Upon appearing, it bared its fangs and claws, lunging at the nearest blood dragon.

The blood dragon, seeing this, opened its huge mouth without hesitation and spat out a column of bloody light that struck the coiling dragon's massive body with pinpoint accuracy.

But all that was seen was a flash of cold light on the dragon's body, countless sword energies intertwining and flickering, and the blood-light column was instantly severed. The point of impact showed not even a trace of injury.

Seeing this from afar, Ma Liang's face twitched slightly, but before any specific thought could arise in his mind, the distant blue coiling dragon let out a dragon's roar and became entangled with that blood dragon.

There, the void instantly filled with rolling blood mist and crisscrossing sword energy—just two breaths' time—and the blood dragon was torn apart by the blue dragon. Yet nearby, the other five blood dragons seized the moment to rush forward, letting out loud roars as various blood-path techniques descended like a flood.

The blue coiling dragon showed no fear, merely swinging its massive head violently. Its scales once again released countless chilling sword lights, sweeping forward in a rolling wave.

At this moment, the blood dragon that had just been torn apart recondensed from the nearby blood mist and fiercely lunged upward again.

The blue coiling dragon faced five opponents alone. Though its sword energy was fearsome, it was instantly covered in wounds. After using a near-suicidal method to tear apart another blood dragon, it was overwhelmed by countless blood glows and exploded into scattered points of crystal light.

The remaining blood dragons rejoiced, turned around, and prepared to fly down and pounce on Han Li's side.

But seeing this, Han Li remained expressionless, made a single-handed seal. The blue sword formation before him instantly blurred and then vanished from sight.

The next moment, beneath several blood dragons, a sword cry rang out, and the blue sword formation flashed into view. At its center, a dragon's roar sounded, and another blue coiling dragon shot out from within. In the blink of an eye, it became entangled with the five blood dragons once more.

Han Li stood in place without moving, seemingly effortlessly holding off the five blood dragons, but in reality, he had nearly mobilized half his magic power just to keep the sword formation from dispersing.

Although this Azure Coiling Sword Formation had become incredibly powerful with his cultivation advancement, its magic power consumption had likewise increased by several times compared to before.

This was also because Han Li's magic power and divine sense far surpassed those of his peers at the Mahayana stage; if an ordinary Mahayana cultivator activated this formation, they would have no remaining strength to use any other divine abilities or treasures.

Seeing this, Ma Liang raised his eyebrows, made a single-handed seal, and suddenly began to mutter incantations.

Above Han Li, a thunderous rumble sounded, countless blood-colored glows surged and gathered, then transformed into a blood-colored seal phantom the size of a mountain.

After a wave of law power rolled downward, the blood seal phantom immediately rumbled forward and pressed down on Han Li.

"Indeed, as expected—your true essence now cannot compare to before; you can't even condense the other four blood spirit puppet giants." Han Li was not startled but pleased, let out a loud laugh, then suddenly shook his sleeve, and three small mountains flew out, then rapidly converged, instantly transforming into an exquisitely beautiful three-colored mountain peak.

Han Li uttered the word "expand," and immediately the three-colored mountain peak swelled wildly in the wind, in the blink of an eye becoming a ten-thousand-zhang-high mountain holding up the heavens. Its peak flashed once, then burst forth a blinding cloud of rosy light as it collided with the blood seal phantom.

Immediately, a heaven-shaking, earth-moving roar rang out in the air—the three-colored giant mountain suddenly sank toward the ground, yet it actually withstood the blood seal phantom's descent, suspending it in midair without letting it fall even a fraction.

At the same time, the law power radiating from the blood seal rolled downward, enveloping the space below.

Han Li only felt a chill in his body, and his magic power immediately became somewhat sluggish and unresponsive.

Facing this, Han Li showed no panic, merely let out a low shout, and instantly a cluster of dark green sword-shaped light flared at his arm, while another wave of law power burst forth from within.

With a muffled "pou" sound, the two forces of law collided like two massive waves, but simultaneously dissipated and vanished in an instant.

Han Li's body trembled slightly, and his magic power returned to normal.

"Five Extremes Mountain of Unity, Profound Heaven's Treasure!" Ma Liang, seeing this result, couldn't help but be somewhat startled, then immediately flew into a rage.

If he were at his peak, a mere incomplete, damaged Five Extremes Mountain and a Profound Heaven Treasure could not possibly have so easily blocked his Myriad Spirit Blood Seal.

With his true essence greatly diminished, he now truly could not unleash much power from the blood seal.

Just as this immortal hesitated slightly in his heart, preparing to switch to other divine attacks, Han Li suddenly made a grasping motion in the void, a flash of green light appeared in his hand, and a dark green wooden sword materialized out of thin air. He took a large step forward, and behind him, the Brahma Sage Dharma Aspect lunged forward and vanished into his body.

The next moment, a clear chime sounded within Han Li's body, light flashed, and several differently colored light clusters flew out, spun around, and then transformed into various true spirit Dharma Aspects such as the Heavenly Dragon, True Phoenix, and Azure Bird.

These phantoms each emitted different terrifying auras, then simultaneously raised their heads and let out a long cry, before flashing and re-entering Han Li's body.

Han Li's body suddenly burst forth with dazzling purple-gold light, his physique rapidly expanded, and golden scales and silver spirit patterns immediately surged from his skin, while clusters of golden light flickered unpredictably on both shoulders and beneath his ribs.

After a loud shout, a towering, terrifying demon god over a thousand zhang tall, with three heads and six arms, immediately appeared in the void.

This demon god bore a single horn on its head, six eyes flashing with silver light, and aside from one hand gripping the similarly enlarged dark green wooden sword, its other five hands were empty.

This was precisely Han Li's third-stage transformation of his already perfected Nirvana Sacred Body.

Clearly, he understood that ordinary divine abilities and treasures would be useless against this true immortal whose vital energy was greatly wounded—so he immediately unleashed his ultimate trump card.

From the moment Han Li drew the Profound Heaven Slaying Spirit Sword to completing his transformation, it took only an instant. Then, as his transformed demon god shook its wrist, the dark green wooden sword in its hand buzzed, and a row of silver runes immediately appeared on its surface.

The heavenly and earthly spiritual energy in the entire sky trembled, countless five-colored light points appeared out of nowhere, and surged like a tide into the dark green wooden sword.

In the distance, Ma Liang witnessed this scene, his face darkened, and without hesitation, he shook his sleeve, releasing seven or eight silver talismans that shot out, flickered in the wind, and transformed into seven or eight massive silver-bright weapons—giant swords, axes, halberds—then blurred and turned into a sheet of cold light that rolled toward Han Li.

At this moment, the three-headed, six-armed Han Li seized the initiative, swinging his hundred-zhang-long dark green giant sword horizontally before him, then chopping forward.

Silent and soundless!

A strangely long, crescent-shaped dark green sword light flashed from within, but after only a slight flicker, it suddenly condensed into a dark green thread, from which a terrifying wave of law power surged forth mightily.

After several "peng" sounds, the dark green thread flashed through the silver light, and the seven or eight silver giant weapons transformed from the talismans exploded one after another, utterly unable to be blocked in the slightest.

The dark green thread moved with such speed that it was nearly instantaneous—just two flickers brought it close to Ma Liang, where it first struck with a strange cold force, making this true immortal feel as if his entire blood were nearly frozen in a bizarre sensation.

Ma Liang's pupils contracted, but he made no dodging motion—he merely flicked his sleeve forward, which blurred and instantly became a black shield blocking his front, then opened his mouth and spat out a small sword as white and pure as jade.

With a "pou" sound, when the dark green thread struck the black shield, it merely paused slightly, then silently split the shield down the middle and collided head-on with the incoming white small sword.

After another muffled sound, a strange scene appeared.

The white small sword and the dark green thread made contact before Ma Liang, and simultaneously froze in place, motionless.

The next moment, a crisp sound rang out—the white small sword shattered into pieces without the slightest warning, while the dark green thread silently vanished in a flash.

At the same moment the small sword shattered, Ma Liang's face flushed red, and he could no longer hold back—he opened his mouth and spat out a cluster of glittering golden essence blood.

"You actually dare to destroy my Beheading Immortal Sword; I will never let you fall easily." Ma Liang's face was filled with extreme shock and anger, as if he were greatly surprised by the destruction of the small sword, and at the same time he fiercely shouted at Han Li.

This white little sword seemed to be very important to him.
