Seeing this, Han Li felt a hint of foreboding. With a flick of his divine sense, the thirteen Purple-striped Gold-devouring Beetles circling above his head immediately buzzed in unison, transforming into streaks of purple light as they shot forward.
Meanwhile, the golden-furred giant ape stomped fiercely on empty air, its body turning into a gust of wind as it lunged forward, its arms swinging to unleash a dense barrage of golden fist shadows.
Whether it was the purple beetles or the fist shadows, the moment they touched the rippling rings of seven-colored radiance, dull thuds rang out, and they were all repelled.
They couldn’t penetrate the seven-colored radiance in the slightest!
At this moment, the faint threads of law power in the nearby void became increasingly apparent. The dazzling multicolored light emanating from the seven-colored radiance seemed to dye the entire sky in a riot of hues, creating an eerie and unsettling sensation.
Seeing that his fist shadows had no effect, the giant ape’s eyes flashed with cold light, but its charging momentum didn’t slow in the slightest. Instead, it let out a deafening roar, and its body expanded at an unbelievable speed.
In mere moments, the giant ape grew to a height of four to five hundred zhang. Then, it took a deep breath, its chest swelling high before it opened its mouth wide.
A vast white wave blasted forth, silent at first, but once it traveled ten zhang from its mouth, it erupted with a deafening explosion.
The moment the leading youth and the other avatar heard this sound, their ears rang violently, and their bodies trembled, nearly toppling them from their positions.
Wherever the white wave passed, the void grew hazy and distorted, some areas even twisting and warping as if the entire space were on the verge of collapse.
This was none other than the “Diamond Roar,” a newly mastered divine ability of Han Li’s Mountain Giant Ape transformation after advancing to the mid-stage of the Body Integration realm.
Unlike other abilities, this was a pure soundwave technique, its power unimaginably vast. When unleashed at full force, it could even shatter the void to some extent.
This was another contingency Han Li had prepared to counter the Radiant Pagoda. Thus, sensing danger, he didn’t hesitate to use it.
When the white soundwave collided with the seven-colored radiance, it silently merged into it.
A loud buzzing immediately erupted from within the radiance, and the golden runes floating inside flickered before dispersing and vanishing. The radiance itself flickered violently, as if on the verge of shattering.
The blood avatar, just recovering from the sonic assault, saw this and hurriedly formed a hand seal, attempting to reactivate the small pagoda.
But at that moment, the giant ape’s face twisted into a fierce grin as it suddenly formed a seal with one hand.
Meanwhile, the Vajra Flesh, locked in battle with the gray serpent, suddenly had countless silver runes appear on its body, shimmering with spiritual light, making it appear extraordinarily mysterious.
As the gray serpent lunged viciously, the Vajra Flesh waved its six arms, and its body dissipated like dust in the wind.
This left the transformed leading youth momentarily stunned.
He had been preparing to rush forward and use a powerful technique to assist the serpent in eliminating the Vajra Flesh.
But just then, he heard a buzzing sound. His heart clenched as he swiftly turned his gaze toward the noise.
Thirteen enormous beetles were charging toward him with terrifying ferocity. Before they even got close, they opened their mouths in unison.
Streaks of purple silk shot forth, piercing through the air in an instant.
Unbeknownst to him, Han Li had secretly commanded these spirit insects to move here.
The leading youth’s heart tightened. With a wave of his hand, the four blood wings on his back flapped toward the beetles without hesitation.
A massive wave surged from the blood sea below, rising to block the youth’s front.
However, the purple silk proved extraordinary. While a small portion vanished into green smoke upon contact with the blood wave, most of it pierced straight through with a sizzling sound.
In a flash, the silk was right before the youth.
His expression hardened. Without moving his limbs, the eight green ghost heads around his neck let out shrill cries as they flew out, spinning rapidly to form a massive green ring. The eight ghost heads faced outward, connected by a faintly glowing circular band.
As the purple silk shot toward them, two of the ghost heads opened their mouths and spewed forth a spray of silver stars.
The silk vanished in a flash, swallowed by the silver stars into the ghost heads.
Not stopping there, the other six ghost heads shrieked, unleashing countless wind blades.
Each blade was palm-sized, crystalline and sharp, shooting forth like countless white threads piercing through the void, slashing densely at the purple beetles.
But only a series of crisp clinks rang out as the seemingly formidable wind blades were all deflected. The surfaces of the Purple-striped Beetles showed not even a scratch.
Witnessing this, the leading youth felt a surge of dread but had no time to dwell on it. He swiftly formed several hand seals and directed them at the green ring.
The ghost heads’ shrieks intensified as they shook violently, and eight bloody figures shot out from their heads, darting into the swarm of beetles.
They were eight naked, horned blood ghosts with emerald-green eyes and razor-sharp claws. With a wave of their arms, rolling blood mist surged forth, and chilling claw shadows filled the sky.
For a time, they clashed fiercely with the beetles.
While the leading youth was once again entangled by the Gold-devouring Beetles, the golden-furred giant ape, the moment the Vajra Flesh vanished, had a golden flash behind it as its three-headed, six-armed Dharma Form materialized out of thin air.
The giant ape threw its head back with a fierce cry, and the golden Dharma Form lunged forward, merging with its body.
Golden light swirled over the ape’s body as two additional pairs of furry arms sprouted from its sides, and two smaller heads emerged from its shoulders.
The ape had now transformed into a three-headed, six-armed behemoth!
The moment the transformation completed, its six palms spread wide and pressed down toward the small pagoda like a collapsing mountain.
Faint golden light flickered at the center of each palm, revealing mysterious silver runes that transformed into phantom projections, descending with the palms.
As the silver rune phantoms spun, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy madly converged into them, and six unimaginably powerful forces crashed down like a mountain.
Under the simultaneous pressure of these six forces, the seven-colored radiance trembled violently before stretching and distorting like dough. With a muffled bang, it shattered completely.
The youth transformed from the blood avatar paled. Biting the tip of his tongue, he spat a mouthful of essence blood at the small pagoda. With a puff, it turned into a blood mist, enveloping the pagoda.
A crystalline sheen appeared on the seven-colored pagoda’s surface, and a pagoda shadow seemed ready to soar into the sky.
But at that moment, the giant ape roared, its six hands suddenly clenching into fists.
The spiritual energy in the sky churned violently, the downward force transforming into suction. The seven-colored pagoda, teetering unsteadily, was helplessly pulled toward the ape.
“Not good!”
The youth let out a low cry, transforming into a streak of blood that shot forth, merging into the seven-colored pagoda in a flash.
The previously swaying pagoda instantly stabilized.
The giant ape above suddenly let out a wild laugh, its retracted fists lightly punching downward.
The motion seemed silent and insignificant compared to its earlier attacks, but the air around the seven-colored pagoda grew thick and viscous.
An invisible force instantly sealed the space around the pagoda.
Without hesitation, the ape rubbed its hands together fiercely before flinging them downward.
Thunder roared!
Countless golden lightning arcs erupted from between its furry palms, weaving into a hundred-zhang-wide golden net that crackled as it descended, only to vanish into the void.
The next moment, thunder boomed near the seven-colored pagoda as the golden net reappeared, trapping the pagoda at its center.
With a thunderclap, Han Li mentally activated the spell, and the net contracted violently around the pagoda amidst golden flashes.
In an instant, a massive golden sphere formed, encasing the pagoda tightly.
A spatial ripple appeared as the spirit body materialized beside the golden sphere in a faint green shadow, its fingers flicking rapidly.
Whooshing sounds filled the air as strands of green silk shot out, wrapping around the golden sphere in another layer.
The golden sphere turned green in an instant!
A black shadow flashed in the sky as the three-headed, six-armed giant ape leaped down, its six arms striking the sphere in a blur.
Countless talismans shot from its palms, flooding into the sphere like a tide.
The sphere’s surface soon became adorned with intricate, multicolored talismans, as if they had been engraved there naturally.
“Hmph! Do you truly think such petty tricks can trap me?” A cold snort echoed from within the sphere, filled with fury.
As soon as the words fell, thunderous booms erupted from inside. The talismans on the surface flickered wildly, and the sphere bulged and contracted violently.
In moments, the outermost green silk began snapping strand by strand, as if on the verge of collapse.
Han Li felt a surge of alarm, realizing he had underestimated the Radiant Pagoda’s power. Despite his meticulous planning, he still couldn’t fully contain it.
But his surprise vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
He had prepared multiple methods to counter this treasure. Since the current approach was ineffective, he would have to resort to another, even at the cost of a precious treasure.
Having made his decision, the transformed giant ape let out a low roar, its massive hands grabbing at the void before hurling the green sphere high into the sky.
At that moment, a faint green shadow flashed above the sphere—the spirit body had arrived first. With a solemn expression, it suddenly threw something toward the sphere.
