Qu Lin's shoulder was hit by the sword. There was a faint splash of blood on his shoulder. He knelt down on one knee.
He let out a muffled groan and the golden light around him suddenly surged. He stood up again under the pressure of the giant sword. The wound on his shoulder had begun to heal.
The person controlling the giant sword was a short man in a black robe. Seeing this, he snorted coldly. He made a sword gesture and pulled it down heavily. The golden giant sword fell down with it.
Qu Lin's body trembled under the pressure, but he did not kneel down again. He stood firmly in place.
"Haha, is this all you've got?" He laughed and mocked.
"I've long heard that Golden Immortal Devourer's body is indestructible. Seeing it today … it's just so-so." Seeing this, Chi Meng sneered.
With that, he waved his hand and a large number of fire ants climbed onto Qu Lin's body.
Wherever they passed, they left behind burn marks of sulfur, causing black marks to appear on Qu Lin's skin.
Qu Lin only glanced at them and no longer looked at them. He shook his arms and golden light shone brightly around him. Layers of strange ripples rippled out from it.
All the fire ants were shaken and fell to the ground. The giant sword on his shoulder also trembled violently and was forced back by the golden light.
He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. A circle of golden ripples spread out under his body. He flew up like an arrow and was about to escape from here.
However, just as he flew into the air, the sky above him suddenly darkened. A giant ghost formed by black fog suddenly poked out from the clouds and swallowed him.
The moment he entered the giant ghost's mouth, Qu Lin felt his Knowledge Sea turn dizzy. Before he could react, grey translucent chains shot towards him from all directions, piercing through his body.
The grey fog lingered on the chains and entered Qu Lin's body, causing him to feel cold all over. His Celestial Spiritual Power seemed to be frozen and he couldn't break free for a while.
The other people's attacks followed closely. Flames, green lights, sword lights, and fist shadows immediately fell on Qu Lin's body.
Although Qu Lin had a strange expression on his face, he took all of these attacks and seemed to be fine.
"This insect's body is really strong. Watch me destroy his Divine Sense. Even if he loses his mind, it'll be the same when we bring him back," said the tall man who cultivated the Silver Law of Souls in a hoarse voice.
With that, he twisted his wrist, took out a black piccolo, and put it to his lips.
When Han Li saw this scene from afar, he secretly cursed in his heart.
In the next instant, the urgent sound of a flute rang out from afar.
The runes on the short flute lit up, and a strange sound wave that was hard to see with the naked eye rippled out, sweeping in all directions.
Qu Lin's originally calm expression suddenly changed when he heard the sound wave. He frowned and his expression became ferocious.
He felt as if an invisible saw had suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness and was pulling it back and forth, trying to cut his soul and his sea of consciousness into halves.
Qu Lin had cultivated for many years, and the strength of his soul was considered top-notch among Zenith Heaven cultivators. However, he did not expect that it would be so weak under the sound of the flute.
As the tall man's tone changed, the tone of the sound wave suddenly became sharper. The sawtooth disappeared and was replaced by countless sharp drills, drilling toward his Divine Soul.
"Ahhh …" A heart-wrenching roar suddenly rang out.
Although Han Li was already prepared, when the sound of the flute came, the three of them were also attacked.
Among them, the Weeping Soul cultivated the same law, so its resistance was the strongest. Han Li had the Spirit Cultivation Art, and his soul was extraordinary, so he could naturally resist a little.
Only Little White, who had inherited the Ink-Eyed Pi Xiu's power for a short time, could not resist. Although she did not make a sound, her body was already trembling.
When the Weeping Soul saw this, a red light flashed from between its eyebrows, and it split open.
A vertical eye appeared in the middle, shooting out two dark red rays of light, respectively into the eyebrows of Han Li and Little White.
Han Li's consciousness instantly became clear, and Little White felt that it was not as difficult to endure as before.
"Haha, I searched high and low for you, but found it without any effort.
Han Li, I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would actually deliver yourself to me today. "At this moment, Chi Meng's voice suddenly sounded.
Her figure had already shot over, and she was hovering above the three of them.
When Han Li saw that he could no longer hide, he showed himself with Little White and the Weeping Soul, and they were hovering in midair.
The Weeping Soul had already released a layer of dark red spiritual domain, and it enveloped the three of them.
"Then I'll have to trouble Fairy Chi Meng …" Han Li smiled lightheartedly, and he was completely fearless.
"Friend Han …" In the distance, Lan Yan who had not participated in the battle looked over, and a wisp of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Chi Meng sized up Han Li, and she was slightly shocked when she noticed the change in his aura.
How much time had passed since she failed to pursue Han Li, and this fellow had actually reached the Zenith Heaven Realm?
However, she recovered her composure in next to no time.
"So what if you're at the Golden Immortal Realm?
You're just a fledgling that hasn't slaughtered the three corpses. I'll absolutely not allow you to escape from me this time. "Chi Meng chuckled lightly.
Unlike other realms of cultivation, after the initial-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, every time one slaughtered the three corpses, one would be able to advance a level, and once one completely slaughtered the three corpses, one would be able to surmount the insurmountable chasm and attain the Dao Ancestor Realm.
Moreover, every single slaughter was extremely dangerous. Once one succeeded, the improvement in one's strength would be extremely obvious, and the difference between every single minor realm was no different than the difference between a major realm.
Coupled with the fact that they had the advantage in numbers, Chi Meng was naturally extremely confident in being able to capture Han Li, and the only thing they had to be wary of was the strange secret technique he'd utilized to flee abruptly.
She shouted as she waved her palm, and then an expanse of crimson red light lit up and transformed into an enormous sphere of light that expanded, and it quickly enveloped an area of a few hundred kilometers.
Han Li and the others only felt that the surrounding air instantly became scorching hot, but they were already enveloped in Chi Meng's Spirit Domain.
The surrounding flames soared into the sky, and eight flaming waterfalls fell from the surrounding sky, and the ground also turned into a magma lake.
The surrounding air immediately seemed to be boiling, and all the surface lakes and water systems within a radius of a thousand kilometers were evaporated. Gullies that stretched for a thousand kilometers appeared on the ground, and traces of cracks could be seen everywhere.
Xiao Bai only felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, as if the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had been burnt away by the scorching power of this Spirit Domain.
"This woman doesn't seem to be a good person." Xiao Bai couldn't help but say.
"It seems that she didn't use her full strength in the last battle." Han Li also said with a frown.
"Elder Xitang, I'll leave that Golden Immortal Devourer to you and Elder Sword Hill. The rest of you, come with me to capture this person." Chi Meng ordered.
The tall man who cultivated the Law of Yin and the short man who controlled the golden sword responded at the same time.
The other two black-robed figures flashed and came to Chi Meng's side.
"Weeping Soul, go rescue Qu Lin first." Han Li turned to the side and ordered the Weeping Soul.
"Okay." The Weeping Soul nodded and was about to leave.
"Do you think that you can come and go as you please in my Spirit Domain?" Chi Meng raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
He waved a hand through the air as he spoke, and the lava lake down below immediately began to churn violently. A flaming giant that was over 1,000 feet tall slowly rose up from the lake, holding a massive flaming longsword in its hand as it stood in the Weeping Soul Beast's path.
Seeing this, the Weeping Soul snorted coldly.
With a thought, a black ghost claw appeared in the palm of his hand, and he used a divine ability to swing it forward.
Several pitch-black claw marks appeared out of thin air, directly tearing the void, and cut the flame giant into several pieces.
She glanced at the Nether Ghost Claw in her hand not long ago, and nodded with satisfaction.
As for the Flame Giants, they turned back into magma and flowed back into the magma lake.
"There are as many fire spirits as you want in my Spirit Domain," Chi Meng snorted and said.
As soon as his voice trailed off, the lake of lava down below began to churn even more violently. One flame giant after another rose up from within the lake, brandishing a huge flaming sword in their hands before slashing toward Han Li and the others.
Han Li turned his palm slightly, and a golden curtain of light spread out. It turned into a faint golden Spirit Domain and merged with Chi Meng's Spirit Domain of Fire.
Inside the Spirit Domain, the flow of time instantly changed, and the speed at which the flame giants swung their swords slowed.
The Weeping Soul flew out and swung the Nether Ghost Claw again. Dozens of black claw marks appeared out of thin air, and cut the flame giants in half again.
He passed through the magma and was about to go to Qu Lin's side.
However, right at this moment, the lava within a lava waterfall that hung from the horizon suddenly surged, and then a lava dragon flew out from within it. The lava dragon opened its bloody mouth wide as it bit down towards the Weeping Soul Beast's head.
The Weeping Soul was naturally unafraid. The Nether Ghost Claw in its hand displayed great power again, and tore the magma dragon apart.
However, this magma dragon didn't melt like the flame giants before it. Scarlet light instantly melted the magma dragon, and it continued to bite at the Weeping Soul.
At this time, Han Li's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Don't worry about it. Just keep moving forward."
Hearing this, the Weeping Soul stopped attacking and rushed forward instead.
Just as she was about to be swallowed by the giant mouth of the magma dragon, the sound of a splash suddenly rang out. A golden river suddenly rushed out of the ground and into the magma dragon's mouth.
The magma dragon's body immediately froze in place, and white smoke rose from it.
The Weeping Soul rode this wave and rushed out of the magma dragon's body. It flew out and arrived in front of Qu Lin.
Qu Lin looked at the Weeping Soul coming to rescue him, and Han Li in the distance, and a complicated look flashed through his eyes.
Seeing this, Elder Xi Tang blew the short flute in his hand again. The sound waves it emitted were condensed and didn't dissipate. Not only did they not spread in all directions, but they also gathered together and went straight for the Weeping Soul.
The Weeping Soul's mouth curved into a smile. Not only was it not afraid, but it also began to calculate. If it ate this guy in front of it, how much would its strength improve?
For some reason, Elder Xi Tang's heart palpitated when he saw the corner of the Weeping Soul's mouth curl up, revealing a row of white teeth.
