Chapter 304: Spirit Fiend Crystal Threads

The blood-colored giant clearly saw that Han Li was on the verge of collapse. A chilling smile appeared on its twisted, ugly face as it let out a roar:

"Break for me!"

As the voice sounded, Han Li felt the excruciating pain throughout his body intensify severalfold, as if countless needles were piercing through his meridians and even the depths of his bones.

A faint golden light flickered in his eyes. He raised his head and let out a sky-shaking roar. Instead of suppressing the true spirit blood essence, he channeled his immortal spiritual power to fully activate the Vast Spirit True Devil Art.

On the surface of his body, layers of purple-gold scales emerged. His shoulders and sides blurred, and two more ferocious heads and four purple-gold long arms grew out.

The six eyes of the three giant ape heads opened simultaneously. On the foreheads of the left and right heads, light flickered, and a pair of faint silver short horns grew out.

After executing the Third Nirvana Transformation, the true spirit projections that were on the verge of separation flickered with light and, like birds returning to their nest, flew back into his body one after another.

On the surface of the giant ape that Han Li had transformed into, purple-gold light blazed, and its body grew even taller, towering over the blood-colored giant by a head.

The purple-gold scales on its body connected with each other and suddenly solidified into a purple-gold battle armor inscribed with countless ancient runes, completely enveloping its body and emitting an unparalleled fierce aura.

In the distance, Chong Luan had long since withdrawn the hand seals he had been forming, his ugly face filled with shock.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how Han Li had managed to break free from the control of his Blood Fiend Seal. Moreover, the opponent's three-headed, six-armed transformation made him feel uneasy.

In truth, Han Li wasn't certain whether using the Vast Spirit True Devil Art could stabilize the true spirit blood essence within him. He used it now merely to guide the various true spirit blood essences, channeling their effects in one direction and preventing further chaos under the influence of the Blood Fiend Seal.

Since he had often used various true spirit powers to activate the Nirvana Three Transformations back in the Spirit Realm, executing it now came naturally.

The three heads grinned simultaneously. The six massive arms blurred, and countless phantom images shot out wildly toward the opponent.

Instantly, a great roaring sound arose over the sea.

Countless golden fist phantoms appeared in the void, densely filling the sky. After a fierce flicker, they blurred and vanished without a trace.

Almost at the same time, the void around the blood-colored giant trembled violently. Countless golden fist phantoms materialized out of thin air, surging forth in layers and smashing heavily toward its body.

The blood-colored giant immediately raised its four arms, swinging them rapidly in front of its body, creating a blur of fist shadows.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of violent explosions rang out, the void roaring and trembling incessantly.

Before the漫天 golden light and blood shadows had even subsided, a massive figure leaped into the air, crashing down toward the blood-colored giant like a mountain. Above its head, a huge green sword stood upright, slashing down through the air with a colossal green light.

Seeing this, the blood-colored giant grasped the void with both hands. A huge blood-colored long blade materialized, which it propped on its shoulder to block the green giant sword.

With a thunderous crash!

The green giant sword struck the blood-colored long blade. A tremendous force, enough to shake heaven and earth, poured down, forcing the blood-colored giant to crouch and kneel on one knee. The back of the massive blood blade embedded deeply into its shoulder flesh.

Over the entire sea, waves churned, raising thousand-zhang turbid surges. Even thousands of miles away, countless sea creatures and demon beasts were affected, suffering countless casualties.

After forcing the giant to bend with one sword strike, Han Li pressed forward, raising his giant foot to stomp on the blood-colored giant's chest.

A flash of blood light flickered in the latter's eyes. Its chest suddenly split open with a huge gap, from which countless bone-white jagged teeth grew, opening wide to bite at the giant ape's leg.

However, it only saw a blur before its eyes, and before it could see what happened, it felt a sharp pain in its chest.

It turned out that before its bone-white teeth could fully open, the giant ape's foot stomped down, breaking dozens of them on the spot.

Moreover, the giant ape's stomp was so powerful that it crushed the giant's chest into a deep pit.

The blood-colored giant spat out a mouthful of blood. The two giant hands holding the blade pushed upward with effort, while the other two giant hands clenched into fists and punched toward the giant ape's body.

The giant ape was not to be outdone. Two hands pressed down on the sword, while the other four hands swung punches, engaging the blood-colored giant in close combat.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands; this was especially apt here.

The blood-colored giant's two arms were no match for the giant ape's four arms wildly pounding. It was essentially pinned down and beaten by Han Li.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

A series of impacts rang out continuously. The seawater over the entire sea surface trembled with each sound.

Before long, the blood-colored giant's chest and arms were battered into a bloody mess, looking utterly miserable.

Just then, Han Li suddenly used two hands to firmly grip Chong Luan's two arms holding the blade. His arms holding the sword were freed, pulled back, and then slashed fiercely down toward the blood-colored giant's head.

The blood-colored giant was greatly alarmed. It struggled to dodge.

But its body was almost entirely pinned down by the giant ape, leaving no room to evade. With a miserable roar, half of its head was severed by the green sword.

With its head severed, the blood-colored giant's four arms immediately lost strength and drooped limply.

"Master..." From far away, the black crane let out a screech.

In all its years following Chong Luan, it had never seen its master so disheveled. Now, looking at the mountain-like giant ape, it was filled with dread.

The giant ape raised a large hand, a golden light glowing in its palm, about to strike down on the giant's head.

Suddenly, a bizarre scene occurred.

The blood-colored giant, whose head had been severed, suddenly went limp and transformed into a pool of viscous blood.

The giant ape's three hands and one giant foot were instantly trapped in the blood pool. A tremendous suction force from within firmly adhered to them, making it impossible to break free, as if stuck in quicksand.

At the same time, strange golden crystal threads emerged within the blood pool, slithering like eels toward the giant ape's arms and foot.

Sensing the law aura emanating from those crystal threads, Han Li knew something was wrong. He quickly activated his immortal spiritual power to the fullest, trying to pull his arms and foot free, but after pulling out only a few zhang, he could no longer move.

By then, the golden crystal threads had slithered over, tautened like needles, and stabbed straight in.

Although the golden-furred giant ape's arms and foot were covered with purple-gold scales, they offered no resistance. The crystal threads pierced through and penetrated into its flesh.

As soon as the crystal threads entered his body, Han Li felt numbness throughout. Then, his immortal spiritual power surged out of his body like a bursting dam.

Those seemingly delicate crystal threads acted like wide river channels, guiding the vast immortal spiritual power within him to flow out in torrents into the blood pool.

The giant ape struggled violently, trying to break free, but as its immortal spiritual power drained away, the light on its body gradually dimmed, and its size began to shrink rapidly.

In just a few moments, the thousand-zhang mountain-like giant ape had reverted to its normal human form.

Without the three heads, six arms, and massive body, Han Li was now half-submerged in the blood pool, unable to move. However, the golden crystal threads that had been continuously drawing his immortal spiritual power had all disappeared.

Earlier, when he transformed into the giant ape, he had already retracted the ox-head mask on his face. Now, his exposed face showed a furrowed brow and a slightly pale complexion.

A hundred zhang away, a mass of blood surged like waves and quickly condensed into the half-body of the scorched-face man. The lower half of his body remained merged with the blood pool on the sea surface.

"I underestimated you earlier. You forced me to use the Spirit Fiend Crystal Threads, which I painstakingly refined over tens of thousands of years. If I don't dig out all your secrets this time, I'll have truly suffered a great loss," Chong Luan said coldly, staring at Han Li.

His complexion was no better than Han Li's, as if the absorbed immortal spiritual power hadn't entered his body either.

"Who sent you? Why are you so intent on opposing me?" Han Li asked coldly, his gaze sharp.

As he spoke, he had already grasped an immortal essence stone in his palm, hidden in the blood pool, and began rapidly absorbing its immortal spiritual power.

"Heh, I don't know who sent Fang Pan. You'd better consider your own situation now. Why don't you generously tell me why Fang Pan and his group are so relentless in pursuing you? That would save me the trouble of conducting a soul search on you. Our sect's soul search technique is quite special, and I'm sure you wouldn't like it," Chong Luan glanced at Han Li and said slowly.

"Then you might not know that I have always been quite interested in soul search techniques. I wouldn't mind experiencing your technique to see what's so special about it," Han Li said with a hint of a smile.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. So be it," Chong Luan's face turned cold as he barked.

With that, he grasped the void with one hand. A flash of blood light, and the blood-colored long blade materialized in his palm.

Then, his figure slid rapidly toward Han Li like surfing. When he was only a few dozen zhang away, he swung the blood-colored long blade. The patterns engraved on the blade flashed with light, emitting a dazzling blood-colored radiance.

A flash of blood light!

A narrow blood-colored blade light slashed down toward Han Li's head.
