Chapter 590

Storm Mountain is a heaven-reaching giant mountain located in the northeast corner of the Yin Nether Land. Looking from afar, one can only see half of the mountainside, while the rest is inserted straight into the clouds, making it impossible to see the upper half at all. WwW. feiazw. CoM Net

This mountain is composed entirely of bare black stone, and no grass or trees can survive on it. Moreover, starting from a height of over a thousand zhang, violent Yin Nether winds begin to blow across the mountain.

Ordinary people, let alone continuing to climb upward, might even turn into black ice sculptures the moment they step into it.

Such a harsh environment makes the area around this mountain even more gloomy and terrifying than other places. Electric arcs flicker and explode in the sky, while cold winds howl and sand and stones fly on the ground, as if one had stepped into a ghost realm.

Such a place with dense Yin Nether energy is the favorite place for those powerful Yin beasts. In this vicinity, several extremely fierce Yin beasts are always entrenched.

However, on this day, Storm Mountain had uninvited guests.

The corpse of a giant beast, thirty or forty zhang tall, fell heavily to the ground amidst a silver light. The corpse quickly shriveled and shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it had no life left. Only then did the silver light wrap around a large mass of black energy and fly away.

A majestic, heaven-shaking roar came from afar, vibrating through the heavens and earth, buzzing and ringing.

Then, with the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, a silver giant ape ten zhang tall appeared beside the Yin beast's corpse after a few leaps. This giant ape was ferocious and fierce, and with every move, it revealed an indescribable, astonishing momentum. But sitting on its shoulders were a man and a woman, who were none other than Han Li and Mei Ning.

Han Li swept a glance at the Yin beast corpse below, immediately patted with one hand, and his body drifted down lightly.

Then, with a flash of cold light, the Yin beast's head under his feet was split open, but it was empty inside.

Han Li revealed a trace of disappointment, but immediately returned to his normal expression.

By now, he had accumulated more than a hundred Yin Nether Beast Crystals. Although he knew that there were definitely Yin Nether Beast Crystals in the lower-tier Yin beast packs, he didn't have time to kill them one by one. He had to climb this Storm Mountain before the next rift opened.

At this time, Mei Ning also jumped down from the giant ape's shoulder.

Immediately, the giant ape flashed with silver light and shrank into a small, foot-tall appearance; it was the Soul-Devouring Beast, only its fur color remained silver-white.

Han Li turned and saw the scene of the Soul-Devouring Beast transforming, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

Some time ago, he had taken this Soul-Devouring Beast to kill powerful Yin beasts everywhere. As a result, after devouring a large amount of Yin beast essence, this beast suddenly gained the ability to transform into a giant ape, and soon its fur also changed to this eye-catching color.

This made Han Li himself feel very surprised.

Because according to the jade slip Yuan Yao gave him about refining the Soul-Devouring Beast, a true Soul-Devouring Beast doesn't have such transformation abilities, and after it advances, its fur color should turn pitch black.

However, this beast was originally just a semi-finished product and hadn't been completely refined. And the Yin beast essence in this Yin Nether Land seems to be very different from the essence of ordinary living beings in the outside world. With these two coincidences combined, this unique advancement appeared.

It is not what is usually called a "mutated spirit beast," but it is definitely an unprecedented, unique evolution.

Although he didn't know if it would be more powerful than a true Soul-Devouring Beast if it continued to evolve like this, Han Li was very happy to see this change continue.

After all, the refining method for a true Soul-Devouring Beast is simply too bloody. Even if Han Li is not a kind person, it is very difficult for him to complete the subsequent refining process as described above.

Now that the Soul-Devouring Beast had shrunk, a silver light flashed, and it shot into Han Li's sleeve, starting to sleep soundly.

Han Li smiled slightly, raised his head to look at the distant Storm Mountain, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

The few remaining powerful Yin beasts near Storm Mountain were simply vulnerable in front of the current Soul-Devouring Beast. The Yin beast that had just died was the last one in this area.

Below, they could swagger up the mountain.

"Let's go! We must climb to the top of the mountain before the next rift tears open, otherwise we will have to wait for several more months." Han Li stared deeply at the giant mountain in the distance and said slowly.

"Brother Han is right! Although the opening time of this rift varies, the people here have mastered their general patterns. And the next opening is in half a month. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid we'll have to wait another half a year." The beauty beside him shrank her slightly cold, snow-white neck and agreed with her apricot lips slightly parted.

Hearing this, Han Li smiled faintly and took the woman toward the giant mountain with big strides.

A quarter of an hour later, the two stood at the foot of Storm Mountain.

From afar, they didn't feel much, but now that they were close, they felt this mountain was truly incredible.

There were no other mountain ranges, just this bare peak, extremely straight, covering an area of more than ten miles.

Han Li didn't rush to climb the mountain, but took Mei Ning around for a while before selecting a direction that was easier to climb to ascend this Storm Mountain.

Not long after, the figures of the two turned into two black dots on one side of the giant mountain, gradually disappearing into the high mountain rocks.

For the first thousand zhang of height, Han Li and Mei Ning didn't spend much physical strength and climbed up easily.

But after a thousand zhang, bone-chilling Yin Nether winds began to appear on the mountain, and as the height increased bit by bit, the wind began to become violent bit by bit.

At this time, Han Li and Mei Ning had each put on several pieces of fire-attribute spirit beast skin coats. But even so, it still made people's faces turn blue and their skin sting.

If an ordinary mortal were here, they would probably have frozen to death after a gust of Yin wind.

Han Li took Mei Ning and only advanced a few dozen zhang in the Yin wind before stopping with a frown.

After thinking solemnly, he reached into his bosom, and a white round bead the size of a fist appeared in his hand. This bead emitted a faint glow, covering the two within it.

Strange to say, as soon as the howling gale touched this white light, its force was greatly reduced and it became weak; this was actually a very rare Wind-Avoiding Bead.

In this way, although the Yin wind was still icy, the two could finally barely endure it by relying on their spirit beast skin coats.

The two moved forward slowly again.

After that, they walked for a long time, and mountain rocks covered with frost appeared all around, and the ground under their feet became slippery, making Han Li and his companion start to walk and stop, becoming extremely cautious.

At this time, every breath the two took was misty, and they felt great difficulty breathing. Mei Ning's pretty face was flushed, and she was panting.

After walking for an unknown amount of time with such difficulty, the two were completely in a glacier of crystal-clear, reflective ice. All the mountain rocks were wrapped in thick black ice layers, and the mountain terrain suddenly became steep. If they were not careful, they could roll off the cliff.

Han Li and Mei Ning had long since wrapped their feet with rough scales, otherwise, they would not have been able to move forward at all. But even so, the two still slipped from time to time, which was extremely difficult.

"Let's rest for a while under that giant rock, and after we recover our strength, we will continue to move forward." Han Li raised his head to look at the crystal-shining distance, sighed, and said to the beauty beside him whose face had turned pale.

Although she hadn't spoken, Han Li could see that her physical strength had been consumed by seven or eight parts, and if they continued to move forward, it would probably be dangerous.

Hearing this, Mei Ning let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded with a forced smile.

The giant rock in Han Li's mouth was actually an inclined mountain stone more than ten zhang high, which was an excellent shelter. The two hurriedly moved toward that place.

Two days later, somewhere on the mountainside of Storm Mountain, mist was swirling and strange whistling sounds were continuous, making it impossible for people to see their own fingers. Han Li and Mei Ning were walking inside with high and low steps.

The two were extremely cautious, each wearing a bead the size of a thumb on their wrists, emitting a faint green light, protecting them within it. The gray mist all around seemed to be alive, wanting to pounce on their bodies, but as soon as it approached the green light, it dissipated on its own.

"If it weren't for Brother Han having these Bodhi Beads, even if we passed the Yin wind, I'm afraid we really wouldn't be able to pass through these strange mists!" Mei Ning looked at the gray mists and said with a light sigh.

Hearing this, Han Li smiled, and just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed and he stopped his steps, then listened attentively.

Seeing this, Mei Ning was slightly startled and immediately closed her lips sensibly.

"Be careful, there are other people in the mist. They are walking toward here." Han Li said calmly.

At the same time, with a flash of green light, a small green sword fell from his sleeve, which he held tightly in his hand. Then he stared in a certain direction and remained silent.

Hearing what Han Li said, Mei Ning revealed a look of astonishment. But this woman had long since trusted Han Li implicitly, so she immediately retreated two steps silently, also staring in that direction, with a trace of tension on her face.
