Chapter 1121: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1117: The Might of the Ice Phoenix
 

Although Han Li had some doubts about the relationship between the “Celestial Ice Flame” and this Ice Phoenix, he didn’t dwell on it; instead, he found it odd that since Doctor Mo’s fiend demon transformation possessed the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, why didn’t it move forward to assist the Ice Phoenix in the attack, but bizarrely absorbed him into it.

The beautiful woman was obviously the Palace Master of the Minor Extreme Palace, another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from the palace.

It seemed her divine skills were inferior to those of Han Li by quite a margin; at least, she hadn’t cultivated any Celestial Ice Flame, otherwise facing this Tenth Grade Ice Phoenix, she wouldn’t be barely protecting herself with the help of the other two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, the white Celestial Ice Flame of that Ice Phoenix was too powerful. Once the three of them were involved, their divine powers seemed to be greatly diminished.

This made Han Li stare in awe, as it was the first time he knew that Extreme Cold Flame could wield such incredible power, almost reversing the laws of Heaven and Earth with a Great Divine Power.

In such a situation, if Doctor Mo’s fiend demon transformation were to make a move, he could immediately defeat all three of them.

Could it be because of disharmony between the Ice Phoenix and Doctor Mo, he dared not recklessly place himself under the coverage of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.

Han Li’s thoughts raced, and in an instant, he came up with a barely reasonable explanation.

But just then, an unexpected event occurred.

The demon Qi on the huge banner in the sky tumbled, and suddenly a broken corpse and several damaged magical artifacts fell from somewhere on the banner, plummeting straight into the hall.

Taken aback, Han Li was startled, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the damaged remains were wearing the robes of a Sect Master of the Minor Extreme Palace, and by their attire, they clearly held a high position — likely one of the Nascent Soul elders.

Han Li’s expression revealed surprise as he understood that not only was he trapped inside the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, but also other Sect Masters from the Minor Extreme Palace, no wonder the banner was merely floating in mid-air guarding the entrance.

How long had these Sect Masters of the Minor Extreme Palace been trapped?

The fact that they had managed to hold out until now without being completely annihilated indicated they must be using some sort of secret technique to temporarily resist the Ten Thousand Demon Banner. Otherwise, given Doctor Mo’s fiend demon transformation’s cultivation level, plus these Sect Masters being within the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, it would have been impossible for them to hold out for so long.

However, as long as the Sect Masters within the banner were not completely wiped out, Doctor Mo probably wouldn’t be able to immediately activate the banner to chase after him.

After such lightning-fast contemplation, Han Li greatly relaxed and began carefully scanning every part of the hall.

His gaze quickly fell upon a tall jade platform.

Over a hundred zhang wide and six or seven zhang high, but from afar, he could see three transportation formations, one large and two small, placed side by side on the platform.

Han Li was overjoyed and was about to make his move with hand incantations, when suddenly his expression changed, showing a trace of strangeness.

The Humanoid Puppet, standing upright behind him, extended its hand toward a certain place in the void and made a grabbing motion.

About a dozen zhang away from Han Li, space distorted, and a Black Short Blade flashed out, disappearing as quickly as it appeared — it was the Demonic Marrow Flying Knife, which had mysteriously vanished within the demon Qi space. Somehow, it had escaped the restrictive formations and returned from somewhere out of thin air.

With a wave of the puppet’s sleeve robe, the Demonic Marrow Flying Knife vanished in a flash, taken back.

Han Li’s brows twitched, but he did not show much expression. Instead, his body shimmered with sudden thought flashed past, transforming into a streak of green light, commanding over a thousand Fire Ravens and flying swords among other treasures, shooting towards the high platform.

As long as he could escape from the Void Spirit Hall, it was of no concern to him whether the Minor Extreme Palace or these demon beasts ultimately won or lost, lived or died!

A moment later, the streak of green light arrived at the center of the hall. However, the streak of light did not brazenly pass directly through, but instead, it made a large arc and detoured around the edge of the hall.

But as a large part of the hall was influenced by the extreme cold of the Ice Phoenix, as Han Li passed by, violet flame surged over him, and his body was immediately covered in Purple Apex Flames.

All of a sudden, the white chilly mist was repelled by the purple fire and could no longer affect Han Li.

“Celestial Ice Flame! You must be a Sect Master of the Minor Extreme Palace as well! Don’t think that by altering the ice flame a bit, you can fool me!”

In the center, the Ice Phoenix, which had been driving the Palace Master of the Minor Extreme Palace and the two others back with each move, had witnessed the process of Han Li being absorbed into the hall by the Ten Thousand Demon Banner and then breaking free from it, and was already greatly astonished, constantly distracted by Han Li’s every move,

When Han Li’s streak of light flew towards them, it became very alert, but seeing the light curve around the center, deciding to leave from the side, it intended to ignore Han Li. After all, since Han Li could escape from the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, he was definitely no ordinary Sect Master, and since the other party did not intend to interfere, it did not wish to provoke a strong enemy unnecessarily.

But when the violet flame appeared on Han Li’s body, the Ice Phoenix’s eyes suddenly turned crimson, and it let out a piercing cry, seemingly stimulated by the Purple Apex Flames as if the Celestial Ice Flame were a mortal enemy.

Han Li was taken aback in the streak of light, not understanding what was happening, when suddenly, the Ice Phoenix let out a long, bitter cry from its beak, and with a violent flap of an ice wing directed at Han Li,

The ice feathers on this wing turned into countless arrow-like projectiles in an instant, then, just after they left the wing, they transformed into hundreds of glistening flying swords about half a zhang long, numbering five to six hundred, densely shooting towards Han Li like a barrage from the heavens.

Han Li, who was in the midst of flying away, was greatly startled by this sight.

With so many swords’ lights sweeping down at once, the intimidating numbers alone, akin to a mountain of swords and a sea of blades, were enough to strike terror into anyone’s heart, let alone the fact that these flying swords were all transformed from the icy feathers of a Tenth Grade Ice Phoenix, ensuring their power was far from insignificant.

Without time to think, not only did Han Li’s streak of light not pause for a moment, but it also sped up by a fraction after a flash, while at the same time, hundreds of golden swords’ lights and a dense flock of crimson Fire Ravens shot out from the streak of light, directly towards the glistening swords’ lights.

Thunderous rumblings erupted as gold and white lights interwove and flickered, with bunches of red flames bursting in the vast expanse of cold vapor, occasionally birthing massive pillars of flame tens of feet high.

Under the combined efforts of the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword and the Fire Ravens, the onslaught of flying swords was temporarily held back.

This brief delay allowed the azure streak Han Li had transformed into to escape the center of the great hall and, in a flash, he shot towards a high platform in the corner of the hall.

“Eh!” The Ice Phoenix, upon witnessing this scene, was taken aback. It had not expected that its attack would fail to even slightly delay Han Li.

However, the demon beast’s hatred for those who cultivated the Celestial Ice Flame was beyond any normal person’s imagination; it had long equated Han Li with the man from the past, and with heightened killing intent, its enormous body blurred slightly, creating three identical clones amidst a series of afterimages.

Two of the clones continued their assault on the three Palace Masters of the Minor Extreme Palace without a pause, while the third Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, the white light on the wings intensified, and with a “swoosh,” it disappeared on the spot.

Han Li naturally kept an eye on the demon beast’s movements. Sensing this development, he felt a chill in his heart and immediately halted his flight, stopping in place.

At this moment, he was only a hundred yards away from the transportation formation.

The last thing he wanted was to carelessly fly into the gaping maw of the disappearing Ice Phoenix.

His expression darkening, he rubbed his hands together before throwing them up into the air.

The sound of thunder boomed as dozens of thumb-thick golden lightning arcs shot out from his palms, fanning out into a thirty-yard wide golden net centered around Han Li, enveloping everything beneath it.

Almost simultaneously, the Ice Phoenix reappeared within ten yards of Han Li, as the space distorted slightly and the beast materialized amidst a flicker of white light.

A stern look flashed across Han Li’s face as his hands formed incantations.

All the golden lightning arcs trembled and then sprang without hesitation, attempting to envelop the demon beast.

Caught off guard, the Ice Phoenix didn’t panic but opened its beak and sprayed towards the descending golden arcs.

A white hurricane burst forth from its beak, and upon reaching mid-air, it roared and sent the golden net blowing askew, preventing it from dropping.

As the hurricane raged on, it shredded the golden arcs to pieces, which disappeared without a trace in mere moments.

Startled, Han Li was about to bring out his Eight Spirit Ruler from within his sleeve when the Ice Phoenix made the first move, attacking first.

The beast fiercely fanned its wings at Han Li, generating a thunderous roar as vast amounts of white Celestial Ice Flame emerged from thin air, slightly stagnating before turning into waves more than thirty yards high, sweeping towards Han Li.

The Ice Phoenix itself then blurred and plunged into the dense white mist.

Immediately after, its huge body flashed with white light and vanished from the mist without a trace.

Seeing this, a spasm tugged at the corner of Han Li’s mouth, and a flicker of blue light appeared within his pupils; he lifted a hand that was wrapped in a violet flame and hastily waved it in front of himself.

With a “Puchi,” a miasma of violet fire rose into the air, forming a barrier in front of Han Li.

The Ice Wave showed no mercy as it crashed against this barrier of Purple Apex Flames. The white and purple flames clashed and intermingled, and although they were both Extreme Cold Flames, they churned as if water and fire, struggling to mix. However, the white flames clearly overpowered the Purple Apex Flames, and the barrier began to tremble and tilt towards Han Li shortly afterward.

Han Li’s face darkened, and through gritted teeth, the Eight Spirit Ruler vanished from his sleeve. Instead, his palms pressed quietly against the violet barrier, allowing the violet flames that seemed to find an outlet to surge from his arms into the barrier. The tilting violet wall slowly straightened back up.

But just then, a flash of white light burst through the waves opposite him, and a pair of claws about a foot long unexpectedly split the cold mist, lashing out at Han Li’s arms with lightning speed.

The claws shimmered with a cold and penetrating glare, clearly extremely sharp. Even if Han Li had practiced body refinement techniques like the King Ming Art, being caught by these claws would certainly render his arms useless.

However, Han Li seemed well-prepared. As one sleeve stirred, suddenly two clumps of green threads shot out, blocking the claws in advance!

Then, with a flicker of green light, the spirit threads rapidly entwined, binding the pair of claws securely.
