Seeing this, Han Li’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he raised his arm, his jade-white palm suddenly splaying open.
With a sharp whistle, five ghostly white skull shadows shot from his hand, instantly swelling to the size of cartwheels.
With eerie laughter, they opened their mouths wide, spewing forth torrents of five-colored frigid flames.
These were none other than the Five Devils of Common Heart, long since fused with Han Li’s palm.
Originally, these five devils had become too weak to be of much assistance to Han Li, so he rarely summoned them in battles after entering the Spirit Realm. However, after absorbing another form of extreme cold energy in the wilderness and merging it with the Five Extreme Cold Flames, their power had increased significantly.
Though their abilities were still no match for high-level cultivators, the new frigid flames they exhaled were astonishingly powerful.
Normally, Han Li could channel part of this cold flame’s power through the devils himself, so he seldom summoned them.
But the icy power displayed by the white-robed youth before him was the strongest he had ever encountered, forcing Han Li to abandon all restraint and summon all five devils at once.
As the five-colored cold flames spewed from the massive skulls, the bone-chilling cold that had nearly frozen the void was immediately weakened.
The sword formation regained its former agility.
Though Han Li’s cold flames still seemed slightly inferior to the white-robed youth’s extreme cold, they could still absorb a portion of its frigid energy.
Han Li swiftly manipulated the sword formation with both hands.
Countless green sword lights crisscrossed within the formation, converging at its center to form a colossal glowing sphere.
The sphere pulsed with blinding green sword radiance.
A dragon’s roar pierced the heavens as the sphere shattered, revealing a massive emerald-scaled flood dragon that lunged forth with claws bared!
Its body was covered in mirror-bright green scales, exuding an aura of apocalyptic destruction as it charged toward the white giant blade in the sky.
A deafening explosion resounded through the heavens!
The moment the blade and the dragon clashed, the blade flared with light, its cold energy intensifying by another third. Yet when it struck the dragon’s neck, it produced only a metallic clang, leaving not even a scratch.
However, the blade’s extreme cold instantly encased the dragon’s upper body in thick ice.
But in the next moment, the dragon’s eyes blazed with fury. With a single shake, the ice shattered, and its massive jaws snapped toward the blade while its claws lashed out, its body coiling menacingly around it.
A series of cracking sounds erupted!
Despite its terrifying power, the blade was not particularly durable. Clamped between the dragon’s jaws and claws, it let out a mournful cry before shattering.
As the dragon’s massive body coiled tightly around it, the blade disintegrated into countless sparkling motes of light.
The white-robed youth in the distance finally showed a trace of shock. Without hesitation, he flicked his fingers in the air before him, summoning a gust of white wind that reformed dozens of crystalline flying daggers, unscathed.
“Hmm?” Han Li’s expression darkened.
He now realized that these seemingly frigid daggers were not actual artifacts but manifestations of the youth’s extreme cold energy.
As long as the youth’s magic power remained, he could endlessly reform them.
This was truly unexpected.
But Han Li’s surprise lasted only a moment. With a focused mind, the flood dragon, formed of countless sword lights, let out a long cry and lunged at the white-robed youth.
At the same time, thunder rumbled behind Han Li as crystalline wings unfurled from his back. With a cold glint in his eyes, he vanished in a bolt of lightning.
The more terrifying his opponent proved, the more determined Han Li became to eliminate him.
Whether for his own survival or the sake of the human race, there was no question about it.
The white-robed youth’s pupils contracted, but with a cold snort, the dozens of crystalline daggers before him shot into the sky, reforming into the same massive white blade.
The youth himself then stomped his foot, merging with the blade in a flash of light before slashing viciously at the green flood dragon.
The blade’s power had nearly doubled, its cold radiance filling the sky even before the strike landed.
Yet the flood dragon showed no fear. Its scales bristled, transforming into countless green rays that clashed with the blade’s light.
For a moment, the sky was filled with intertwined cold and green radiance, locked in a stalemate.
But then, a silver arc flashed as Han Li appeared above them. With a roar, he thrust both hands downward.
Two massive hands, one jade-white wreathed in five-colored cold flames and the other pitch-black wreathed in silver fire, materialized and slammed downward.
The forces of extreme cold and scorching heat surged forth, merging in a bizarre yet amplified display of power.
Below, the white-robed youth reappeared, transforming into a colossal icy hand that met the attack head-on.
The crystalline hand froze the surrounding void, its power seemingly unstoppable.
The three hands collided in an instant!
The white hand’s five-colored flames froze and shattered upon contact.
But the icy hand’s cold energy flickered violently, shrinking in size.
When it clashed with the black hand, it underestimated the power of the Devouring Heavenly Flame.
Silver flames surged, revealing countless white-hot tongues of fire that engulfed the icy hand.
In moments, the cold dissipated, and the hand melted away at a visible rate.
A muffled grunt!
Just before the cold energy vanished entirely, a streak of crystalline light shot from the flames, darting away at lightning speed.
But a faint gold-and-silver thread followed, vanishing in a flash.
The next moment, a cry of rage erupted from the streak of light as the white-robed youth stumbled into view, clutching his chest.
A purplish-black wound was visible between his fingers, his face twisted in fury.
Han Li had activated the trace of Spirit Vortex Evil Light within the Devouring Heavenly Flame, exploiting its ability to bypass defensive barriers to deal a heavy blow.
With a cold laugh, Han Li watched as black energy spread across the youth’s face. Even if the poison didn’t kill him, it would severely weaken him.
Now was the perfect time to strike!
A quick glance confirmed that the petite woman was still locked in battle with Silverlight Fairy and his silver ruler, unable to intervene.
Without hesitation, Han Li’s wings flapped, thunder rumbling as he prepared to teleport toward the white-robed youth.
But suddenly, the battlefield trembled. The sky darkened as a massive black vortex, spanning acres, appeared tens of thousands of feet above.
An overwhelming aura erupted from it, growing stronger at an alarming rate.
“No, could it be—?”
Han Li froze, turning his gaze upward in shock.
The aura felt familiar—identical to the one that had spoken to him in the giant tower, only far more terrifying now.
Worse, beneath the vortex stood the silver-robed Demon Venerable, motionless. It was unclear when he had arrived there.
Both sides of the battlefield were stunned.
Many combatants ceased fighting, staring in horror at the vortex.
Han Li’s expression flickered. Should he finish off the white-robed youth or rush to disrupt the vortex?
Before he could decide, another change occurred!
The silver-robed man formed a seal with his hands and spat out a blood-red crystal resembling a gemstone.
With a whoosh, the vortex spun wildly before the terrifying aura vanished.
Then, a stream of black-red demonic energy shot from the vortex, merging into the crystal in a flash.
The crystal pulsed with crimson light before the man swallowed it again.
Instantly, his face flushed red as he clutched his head in agony. His body crackled like firecrackers, his features and aura undergoing a terrifying transformation!
