The scorching sun radiated multicolored light, causing the nearby void to ripple incessantly as an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from within.
At that moment, the black hill crashed into the sun with a deafening roar.
A resonant, bell-like hum echoed!
Black light and multicolored radiance trembled violently, and the surface of the sun was visibly dented by the impact of the black hill.
Almost simultaneously, three pitch-black beams struck the same spot on the sun in rapid succession.
A piercing shriek tore through the void!
Despite the dense, resilient nature of the multicolored light, it could not withstand such a relentless assault.
After the three beams vanished in a flash, the surface of the sun was finally pierced, revealing the crystalline body of the Magnetic Light Beast.
However, as the surrounding multicolored light surged forward, the hole flickered several times before beginning to mend itself.
Yet, Han Li, hovering high above, had no intention of allowing this to happen. With a slight shift of his shoulders, the giant ape he had transformed into blurred and vanished from sight.
In the next instant, a ripple appeared beside the multicolored sun, and the golden figure of the giant ape materialized abruptly. With an impassive expression, it reached out with a massive hand, aiming directly for the newly formed breach.
Though concealed within the sun, the Magnetic Light Beast sensed the direness of its predicament. With a furious roar, it conjured a crystalline spear from within its body and launched it like lightning through the hole, intercepting the ape’s furry, outstretched hand.
The spear was not only razor-sharp but also exuded an extreme chill, forged from rare, frigid minerals within the beast’s body. Even before impact, an icy aura surged forth menacingly.
Though the beast lacked high intelligence, its combat instincts were sharp. It knew that even a momentary delay of Han Li’s attack could buy it safety.
Witnessing this, Han Li sneered inwardly. The ape’s fingers trembled slightly, and a wisp of silver flame erupted from its fingertips. The flame expanded in the wind, enveloping the entire hand before fearlessly grasping the spear.
In an instant, the silver-flame-wreathed hand collided violently with the icy spear.
A blinding flash erupted, yet the clash was eerily silent, devoid of any sound or ripple.
The spear, upon striking the hand, failed to pierce even the slightest bit of skin. Instead, the silver flames coiled around it, swiftly encasing the entire weapon.
Within a breath, the several-zhang-long spear melted into droplets of liquid crystal, vanishing into the void without offering the slightest resistance.
Not stopping there, the ape’s arm trembled slightly, and its silver-flame-wreathed fingers blurred as they shot through the hole, seizing the Magnetic Light Beast’s body with brutal force.
A crisp snap echoed!
The ape’s hand tore through the beast’s flesh as if it were rotten wood, firmly grasping the dazzling green stone at its core.
But when the ape attempted to retract its hand, the beast let out a pained roar, and a powerful force erupted from within its body, locking the hand in place.
For a moment, the hand was trapped within the beast’s body!
Seeing this, the ape transformed by Han Li snorted coldly and activated a secret technique.
The silver flames around its fingers roared, expanding severalfold and completely engulfing the green stone, mercilessly refining and burning it.
A loud sizzling sound erupted!
The Magnetic Light Beast shuddered, and the multicolored sun vanished from its body, revealing its massive form in full.
At the same time, golden light flashed across the ape’s body, and its size abruptly swelled once more, transforming into a colossal figure nearly a thousand zhang tall. With a savage grin, it brought its other golden hand down like a mountain onto the beast’s massive head, pressing it firmly into the ground.
With Han Li’s unfathomable strength and the immense power of his ape transformation, a thunderous boom followed as the beast’s head was driven deep into the earth.
Under the crushing pressure and the agony of its core being refined by the silver flames, the beast let out a deafening roar, its massive body thrashing wildly as it struck at the ape with all its limbs.
Yet, under the overwhelming force of the golden ape, its struggles were futile. Its head remained pinned to the ground, and the ape’s golden fur repelled all attacks effortlessly.
Meanwhile, within the beast’s body, the silver flames burned fiercer, and the green stone dimmed rapidly. The beast’s vitality waned, its struggles growing weaker.
Finally, with one last dying shriek, the Magnetic Light Beast trembled slightly and fell still.
Seizing the moment, the ape clenched its free hand into a massive fist and smashed it down onto the beast’s head. With a cracking sound, the head shattered into countless crystalline fragments.
Amid the debris, a green glow shot out like an arrow—the beast’s primal soul.
Han Li had anticipated this. The ape opened its mouth and spat out a golden sword beam, which swept through the area, reducing everything within several dozen zhang to dust.
The beast’s soul was annihilated instantly by the razor-sharp sword light.
With a shake of its hand, the ape withdrew its arm from the beast’s corpse, now unimpeded.
At last, the beast was truly dead.
The green stone, refined by the silver flames, had shrunk rapidly into a pale green crystal about a chi in diameter, emitting a soft, hazy glow.
The golden ape grinned broadly before its body shimmered with golden light and shrank rapidly.
Moments later, Han Li dispelled the Ape Transformation Technique and resumed his human form.
A ripple appeared beside him as the Leopard Qilin Beast materialized silently, eyeing the crystal in Han Li’s hand with curiosity.
“I didn’t expect refining this beast’s core would yield so much material. Once I return and refine it further, I should be able to forge the Yin-Yang Great Five Elements Extreme Mountain,” Han Li murmured, patting the golden beast’s head with a faint smile.
The Leopard Qilin Beast yawned after a few more glances at the crystal, reverting to its usual lazy, sleepy demeanor.
Amused, Han Li flicked his sleeve, releasing a burst of azure mist that enveloped the beast, and both vanished simultaneously.
He then surveyed the surroundings.
The battle with the Magnetic Light Beast and the collapse of the mountain had left the area within a hundred li in complete disarray.
The ground was littered with craters and rubble, and smaller peaks lay toppled, painting a desolate scene.
Frowning slightly, Han Li realized that even with his immense powers, concealing such devastation would be impossible.
After a brief consideration, he rubbed his hands together and flung them outward.
A thunderous roar followed as countless silver fireballs shot forth, engulfing the beast’s corpse.
The raging silver flames reduced the remains to ashes in moments.
Leaving the other battle scars untouched, Han Li summoned his escape light and soared into the sky as a azure streak.
Though the area was remote, the commotion from the battle was bound to attract high-ranking demons. Lingering would only invite trouble.
At his full speed, Han Li traversed hundreds of thousands of li in mere moments.
Not long after his departure, a ripple appeared in the distant sky as a blue streak shot toward the battlefield at astonishing speed.
The light dissipated, revealing a bizarre, blue-flame-wreathed bird with silver eyes.
After circling the area swiftly, the bird’s flames churned, transforming into a middle-aged woman clad in a blue robe.
Her features were plain, her expression icy, and an aura of sinister chill emanated from her.
Before she could thoroughly inspect the remnants below, her expression shifted, and she turned her gaze toward another part of the sky.
A moment later, golden light flickered in the distance as a golden flying vessel approached.
Though the ship seemed to move leisurely, it traversed thousands of zhang in an instant, appearing before the blue-robed woman.
“Six Extremes, you’re late,” the woman remarked coolly.
“Not late. You arrived early, Sister Blue Waterfall,” a sweet, feminine voice replied from the ship. A slender, youthful woman materialized on the deck in a flash of azure light.
“Hmph, I know whether I’m early or not. But why would a Sacred Ancestor like you send an avatar to visit an old friend like me?” the blue-robed woman retorted coldly.
The two were none other than an avatar of the Six Extremes Sacred Ancestor and the true form of the reclusive Blue Waterfall Sacred Ancestor.
Ignoring the chaos below, they engaged in conversation.
“I’ve come bearing great benefits to repay your past kindness,” the young woman replied with a laugh.
At these words, the older woman’s face darkened.
