Chapter 1122: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1118 Spatial Divine Power
 

A surprised and light “Eh” came from the opposite Celestial Ice Flame, but what followed was a shocking scene.

Above Han Li, a few dozen feet high in the void, a white light suddenly flashed, and a space tear ripped open. A crystal-clear beak, about half a foot in size, suddenly protruded out large part of its length, pecking towards Han Li’s head with the speed of lightning.

Such a close and unexpected attack, even if Han Li had the time to react and wanted to use his Lightning movement to dodge, he definitely wouldn’t have made it in time.

Moreover, he had been paying attention to the Celestial Ice Flame on the opposite side, completely unguarded; but strangely, as the beak was about to break through the protective purple flame around Han Li’s body, his expression did not change at all, he didn’t even lift his head.

There was a loud “Bang” as a silver fist eerily appeared out of the void, smashing down onto the beak.

Under the explosion of silver light, the beak was forcibly deflected several feet aside.

Then, next to the beak, a faint green shadow flashed into existence, retracting what looked like a pure silver fist in front of it.

It was the Humanoid Puppet.

Turns out, when Han Li was engaged with the Ice Phoenix, he had already instructed the puppet to protect himself, and it had now timely blocked this dangerous strike.

The attack missing its mark, the sharp beak flickered and vanished into thin air. At that moment, the white Celestial Ice Flame on the opposite side suddenly retracted, exposing the figure of the grade ten Ice Phoenix.

At this time, the demonic bird’s size was only about two to three Zhang large, having shrunk several times from its original size.

It bowed its head to look at its claws that were bound by the green threads and let out a cold snort from its nostrils. Its claws suddenly expanded several times, appearing to try to break free.

However, with continuous flashing of green light on the surface of the threads, which kept expanding and contracting, they remained immovable.

At this, a hint of surprise flickered in the Ice Phoenix’s eyes, but it immediately opened its beak, and two eye-piercing white lights shot out, circling around its own claws.

The green threads were cut apart like dry grass under the flickering white lights.

Only then did the white lights reveal their true form!

They were two small milky-white swords, emitting a faint cold light all over.

“Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade!”

Han Li recognized the material of these two flying swords at a glance and his brow furrowed at the same time.

These green threads were transformed from the radiance emanating from the surface of the Heavenvoid Cauldron in his sleeve. It seems that even a heavenly skill-level spiritual treasure could do little against a grade ten demon beast with just some minor capabilities.

However, he didn’t actually intend to engage in a full-on battle with his present opponent. All he needed was to break through the hundred-odd Zhang distance to enter one of the two smaller transportation formations, and then he could leave this place.

Thinking this in his heart and seeing the Ice Phoenix ready to initiate the next round of attacks with a movement of its wings, Han Li’s expression darkened. The protective purple flame around him retracted while his figure blurred, and He split into three identical illusions.

The three identical illusions flashed into existence, each enshrouded in an indistinct green mist, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

The Ice Phoenix was taken aback, and the white light on its wings paused momentarily. Just then, the three illusions suddenly turned into three green rainbows, fleeing in different directions. Their escape speed was so fast that they appeared more than ten Zhang away in an instant. Meanwhile, the golden sword and the Fire Raven, which were constantly fighting hundreds of translucent flying swords, also let out a whistle and shot away, aiming for the transportation platform in the corner of the great hall.

The Ice Phoenix was startled, but then became furious. It let out a shrill cry and a white light flashed around its body, which quickly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a young woman in her twenties.

She was clad in silver robes, looking as beautiful as a celestial being!

As soon as the transformation was complete, the woman slapped a spirit beast pouch on her waist, and from inside came the sound of shrieking. Two balls of white light shot out, coiling around to reveal each a Four-winged Centipede surrounded by icy winds, each about a Zhang long, looking fierce and ferocious.

These turned out to be two Six-Winged Frost Centipedes, and they seemed to have evolved to the Four-winged stage.

Han Li glanced back just in time to witness this scene, naturally giving him a huge scare.

But before he could think of any countermeasures, the two Four-winged Centipedes spread their wings simultaneously, and with the sound of breaking through the air, they vanished on the spot, only to reappear in front of Han Li’s true body and another illusion the next moment. They opened their mouths, and a white mist of cold air sprayed out towards them.

Han Li naturally wouldn’t just stand still and let the cold air hit him. His streak of light flickered, and he easily avoided the attack. However, the other illusion just continued to fly in the original direction, and when struck by the cold air, it popped like a bubble and dissipated.

The silver-robed woman, upon seeing this, drew a line with one hand in front of her and with a “hisss,” a white misty tear appeared, showing that she was able to effortlessly rip through space itself.

Then, with a flicker of her figure, she plunged into the void, and the crack vanished in a flash as well.

Propelled to the utmost by Han Li, the streak of light reached the platform above in the blink of an eye. After dodging another blast of cold energy spit out by the pursuing Four-winged Centipede, it was about to descend immediately.

But at that moment, not far from Han Li, a flash of white light appeared, and the woman in the silver robe eerily emerged. With another flicker, she appeared atop the platform, lifted her elegant head, and the pair of eyes, cold as snow, stared into the sky.

Han Li’s heart sank, but he dared not forcibly enter the transportation formation just now.

Otherwise, if the opponent attacked at will from outside, it was uncertain what impact it would have on the transportation.

“I am not a cultivator from the Minor Extreme Palace, nor do I have any grudges with the demons. Do you truly wish to fight to the death against Han Li!” Han Li fixed his gaze on the woman in the silver robe, his expression as grave as water, his voice turning unfriendly.

“Hmph! I care not who you are. As long as you have inherited the Celestial Ice Flame from Fairy Bing Po of yesteryear, you are considered a great enemy of our Ice Phoenix Clan. Don’t think you can slip away easily in front of me!” The woman in the silver robe wore a thick layer of Evil Qi on her jade-like face and spoke with an extraordinary coldness, without showing a hint of retreat.

“What arrogance! You think just because you possess Spatial Divine Power you can stop me. Fine, since you put it like that, Han Li shall hold back no more. Let’s see how powerful you, the Lord of the Ice Sea, really are,” Han Li burst into a furious laugh upon hearing this.

He beckoned with his hand, and the golden flying swords and Fire Ravens that were shooting towards him immediately circled around Han Li, emitting bursts of Sword Qi and scarlet flames with thunderous roars, their power remarkably intimidating.

At the same time, a flash of silver light flickered beside Han Li as a Humanoid Puppet appeared woodenly.

He slapped his storage pouch with one hand, and a small black bottle spun out. Several incantations struck the bottle.

Immediately, the bottle trembled and five streams of greyish-white mist sprayed out. Five skeletal frames emerged trembling within the mist, with balls of green flames flickering in their eyes. The Five Devils made weird wailing sounds from their mouths, all their ghastly heads staring intently at the opposite Ice Phoenix, looking extremely bloodthirsty.

“Five Sons Demon!” The Ice Phoenix’s expression froze for a moment, and then after sweeping her gaze over to the Humanoid Puppet nearby, the solemnness on her face deepened.

“Mechanical puppets, since when did the human world begin to refine puppets of such rank? It seems improbable to defeat you in a one-on-one battle, even if I recall my other two fiend demon transformations. With the puppet and Five Devils aiding you, it’s unlikely I can eliminate you. However, I am quite confident in forcing you to stay here temporarily. If you’re not afraid of encountering an error during transportation, you might as well come down and try!” The woman spoke slowly in this manner.

“Recall your transformations? Without your direct control, they would barely manage to protect themselves. I refuse to believe that you alone can last long against the united assault of the Five Devils and the puppet!” Although Han Li didn’t look back, his spiritual sense immediately made him aware of the situation in the center of the hall.

The two Ice Phoenix transformations were clearly at a disadvantage against the three from the Minor Extreme Palace, now being pushed back.

If it weren’t for both transformations also being able to use the Extreme Cold Flame, they would have been extinguished long ago. Even so, they were now in grave danger. The beautiful woman even had the leisure to glance repeatedly in Han Li’s direction, her face showing a fluctuating expression of surprise and uncertainty, but she showed no intention of coming over to assist Han Li.

It seemed the Palace Master of the Minor Extreme Palace would rather have Han Li fight a fierce battle against the true body of the Ice Phoenix all by himself while they took the opportunity to kill the two transformations first.

Han Li wasn’t particularly annoyed by this; in the same situation, he would likely have done the same.

As for the woman in the silver robe, upon hearing Han Li’s words, she merely sneered, seemingly unconcerned.

Han Li exhaled a sigh and gave up the last sliver of hope that he could sway her with words. He immediately clasped his hands together to cast his spell, preparing to attack the Ice Phoenix using both the Five Devils and the puppet at once. Only by severely wounding or outright eliminating the woman could he transport himself away without worry.

But just then, a strange light suddenly flashed in the woman’s beautiful eyes, appearing somewhat eerie, yet also as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Han Li was shocked, his mind racing to understand why she would show such a strange expression when suddenly the sky darkened, and a familiar, sinister voice came.

“Youngster, come back inside for this old man!”

As these words fell, the Spiritual Energy near Han Li shifted, followed by surges of grey light and a blurred vision.

Han Li was greatly startled and without further thought, he flicked his sleeve.

The Realmbreaker Talisman shot out at once, and after a flash of yellow light, the scenery solidified, returning to normal. But within that brief moment, the golden sword light and swarms of Fire Ravens around Han Li shot out rapidly in all directions.

Booming sounds echoed, and the grey lights were instantly shattered and dispersed.

Han Li looked up, only to see that up in the sky, just dozens of feet above, the majestic Ten Thousand Demon Banner, over a hundred yards tall, had appeared at some point above his head. It was descending a swathe of grey halos, eager to envelop him.

Fortunately, when he broke the restrictions of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner previously, not all of the Realmbreaker Talisman’s power was consumed, or else he would have faced certain peril.

Yet, even so, his expression became extremely ugly!

Now, to effortlessly escape from this place, it seemed nearly impossible! (To be continued. For the continuation of the story, please visit www.qidian.com. There are more chapters available, please support the author, support genuine reading!)
