Chapter 631: Chips

The golden-haired giant immediately regained consciousness, letting out a loud shout. The golden banner before him swelled over a hundredfold in the wind, and as its surface flipped, countless golden light clusters shot out, transforming into a river of golden flame that rumbled and flowed around him.

Several thick, crystalline lightning bolts struck into the river of golden flame, instantly stirring up violent waves. The entire golden river churned fiercely, showing signs of collapse.

The giant's body blazed with golden light, stretching abruptly as he transformed directly into a golden five-clawed dragon hundreds of feet long.

This dragon had a long, powerful body covered in thick golden scales, each marked with golden spiritual patterns that seemed indestructible. Its five claws glittered with golden light, as if they could pierce through anything.

A majestic aura burst forth, nearly twice as powerful as the golden-haired giant in human form.

The golden dragon opened its mouth wide, shooting a thick beam of golden light that plunged into the river of golden flame.

The golden river brightened instantly, expanding several times. The flames within surged even more violently, flowing several times faster, rumbling like a broken galaxy.

Those thick crystalline lightning bolts were immediately swept into the river of golden flame and soon devoured by it.

The purple-robed man's eyes flickered. He formed hand seals and waved his hands.

Black lightning radiance burst from his body, rapidly spreading outward to form a black lightning domain tens of miles in size, enveloping the golden-haired giant.

Countuous lightning bolts of various forms tumbled within the domain, among which stood over a dozen tall black figures, each exuding a terrifying aura of lightning law.

"Do you truly seek a life-or-death battle? Fine, let me see the power of your Mad Thunder Domain, Force Demon!" The golden dragon's expression shifted, then it roared in anger. Golden flame blazed around it as it prepared to unfold its own domain.

But the purple-robed man seemed a fraction faster. He chanted an incantation and pointed at the black wheel.

The dozen or so figures in the domain shot out like lightning and vanished into the black wheel.

The black wheel instantly expanded further, becoming almost translucent, radiating crystalline lightning that was impossible to look at directly.

Dozens of thick crystalline lightning bolts shot out from the wheel, like a forest of lightning. Most struck toward the golden-haired giant, while the remaining few were guided by the purple-robed man's hand seals to blast toward the golden ships.

"Force Demon, you dare to be distracted while fighting me!" The golden dragon flew into a rage at the sight. Golden flame blazed from its body, but instead of forming a domain, it transformed into a massive golden fire cloud.

Countless golden runes tumbled within the cloud, emitting a constant rumbling sound. No one knew what technique this was, but as soon as it condensed, it shot fiercely toward the purple-robed man with a whoosh.

It paid no heed to the lightning bolts striking toward the ships below.

The golden fire cloud collided with the crystalline lightning bolts, yet no sound was heard.

The crystalline lightning bolts flashed and passed straight through the golden fire cloud, continuing to strike at the golden dragon as if unimpeded.

But the golden fire cloud did nothing else and continued to strike at the purple-robed man, flashing before him in an instant.

The fire cloud squirmed and deformed like a living thing, instantly transforming into a golden dragon head the size of a mountain, opening its massive mouth to devour him.

The purple-robed man's expression changed, and he shot backward while forming hand seals and waving his hands.

That black circular wheel flew over from midair and immediately blocked the golden dragon head.

At the same time, a loud "hissing" sound arose nearby, and the rolling thunder and lightning within the spirit domain condensed into a black lightning net that enveloped the enormous dragon head.

"Roar!"

The golden dragon head suddenly shook, unleashing a terrifying force that knocked the black circular wheel back a few inches, while opening its mouth wide and letting out a mighty roar.

A terrifying sound wave burst forth, condensing into countless blurry blade and spear phantoms, forming a massive sonic torrent that pierced through the black lightning net and engulfed the purple-robed man.

The black lightning net shattered inch by inch, and the nearby void cracked like a mirror.

The purple-robed man, wrapped in the sonic torrent, trembled violently as cracks appeared all over his body, as if it were about to split apart. He spewed blood from his mouth and was sent flying.

This series of changes, though complicated to describe, occurred in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the golden dragon was enveloped in a river of golden flames, roaring and flowing wildly.

Dozens of thick crystalline lightning bolts struck the golden flame river, producing earth-shattering sounds and churning it violently.

But the flame river surged madly, and although the thick lightning bolts continued to rage, they could not withstand the river's relentless devouring power and quickly subsided.

Meanwhile, a series of explosive sounds came from below.

It was the golden giant boats being struck by thick lightning, with most of them broken and destroyed.

The golden dragon paid no heed to the surrounding situation, its dragon eyes fixed only on the purple-robed man who had been sent flying, and its massive body turned into a golden shadow shooting forward.

"Die!"

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the void above the purple-robed man flickered, and a huge flaming dragon claw materialized, grabbing down fiercely.

But just then, a sudden change occurred!

The void below the purple-robed man rippled, and a black vortex materialized, sucking him in.

The giant dragon claw grabbed down but caught nothing, and the golden dragon was momentarily stunned.

Dozens of miles away, the void flickered, and a black vortex emerged once again, from which the purple-robed man shot out.

The black vortex flickered again, and a green beam of light shot out, vanishing into the purple-robed man's body.

The purple-robed man was immediately enveloped in a thick layer of green light, and the wounds on his body healed at a visible speed, disappearing completely within a few breaths.

Seeing this, the golden dragon, which had been about to pounce, immediately halted its charge, a look of shock and uncertainty on its face.

"Thank you, Lord Demon Sovereign, for your assistance." Though the purple-robed man's face was still pale, his movements were unimpeded as he stood up and bowed respectfully toward the black vortex.

Hearing these words, the golden dragon's expression changed drastically. It turned abruptly, its massive body transforming into a beam of golden light that shot toward the spatial passage.

It actually turned and fled!

"Having killed so many of my kin, you still think you can escape?" A grand, icy voice rang out from the void.

Before the words faded, the void above the golden dragon suddenly collapsed inward, and a silver spatial giant hand the size of an acre emerged, slapping down toward the golden dragon.

The golden dragon's flight immediately slowed. Though the silver giant hand had not yet landed, the surrounding void suddenly became oppressively heavy, pressing in from all directions, leaving no room to evade.

Everything nearby seemed to freeze; all sounds vanished, and all other sights in the field of vision disappeared, leaving only the ever-enlarging silver giant hand overhead.

"No... no..."

The golden dragon let out a defiant roar, its scales fully spreading as scorching golden flames erupted from them.

The void pressing against its body was burned into large holes, but it was futile—the spatial pressure did not diminish in the slightest.

With a "pfft" sound!

The silver giant hand gently slapped onto the golden dragon's body, and the dragon's form, like a fragile egg, was crushed into a pulp of flesh and blood.

All present were stunned at the sight, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The entire battlefield fell into dead silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

The next moment, sharp whistling sounds arose all around as the Taiyi-stage cultivators of the Heavenly Court abruptly disengaged from the battle, transforming into streaks of various colors that shot like lightning toward the spatial passage.

The silver giant hand curled a finger and gently tapped; a flash of silver light flickered at its fingertip and vanished.

With a dull "thud," the fleeing Taiyi cultivators suddenly all halted, each with a bloody hole appearing on their foreheads, from which blood and brains gushed out.

The light in their eyes rapidly dimmed, and their bodies fell like stones toward the ground below.

The enormous silver palm shot out instantly, its palm radiating brilliant silver light, and heavily struck the golden vortex.

The originally stable spatial passage immediately began to violently tremble, with golden light flickering chaotically within.

But at that moment, streaks of golden runes emerged within the spatial passage, coalescing into a golden formation that flickered wildly, striving to stabilize the turbulent passage.

Yet the spatial passage fluctuated ever more intensely, and the golden formation rapidly dimmed.

A cold snort came from within the enormous silver palm. Its five fingers closed together, firmly grasping the spatial passage, then suddenly squeezed.

The spatial passage finally collapsed completely, emitting a loud, muffled sound as it crumbled, then slowly closed. The massive golden vortex also dissipated, soon vanishing without a trace.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Court army was filled with utter despair.

Conversely, the demon army's morale soared. Led by the dozen or so Taiyi-stage demons, they easily broke through the Heavenly Court army's defenses and began a massive slaughter.

A feast of carnage commenced.

The purple-robed man paid no heed to the battle below, flying over to land near the enormous silver palm.

"Master, I have failed your expectations. Had you not intervened, the consequences would have been unthinkable." The purple-robed man's face showed shame as he spoke in a low voice.

"Although our demon domain's strength is enough to dominate one region, it is still insufficient compared to the Heavenly Court. If another person were here today, the outcome would not be much different." The silver giant palm flashed with light and transformed into a silver humanoid figure, who spoke calmly.

Hearing this, the purple-robed man's expression improved slightly.

"There is no need to annihilate all these Heavenly Court people. Kill three-tenths of them, seal the cultivation of the rest, and send them to Rakshasa Island as demon slaves." The silver figure continued.

"Why spare these people's lives? Our army has suffered heavy casualties at their hands. Doing so might..." The purple-robed man frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"The Heavenly Court's main enemy now is the Reincarnation Hall. Although they have sent troops against our demon domain this time, no Dao Ancestor has come in person, indicating that the Heavenly Court does not truly intend to break with us. Otherwise, fighting on two fronts would also be disadvantageous for them. This great war will soon end. Killing three-tenths of these people will be enough to appease the anger of most of our clansmen. The remaining ones will serve as bargaining chips for future negotiations. From now on, there will be a period of peace between the demons and the heavens." The silver figure spoke unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty is wise." The purple-robed man was delighted and nodded in understanding.

"I leave this place to you. Keep a close watch on the Heavenly Court's movements; we cannot afford to be careless." The silver figure instructed again, then flickered and vanished into the void.

The purple-robed man stood silently for a moment, then flew toward the battlefield below.

Behind the battlefield, the corpse to which Han Li was attached opened a slit in its eyes, and he breathed a long sigh of relief inwardly.

That silver giant palm had given him an indescribable immense pressure, far surpassing that of the two Great Luo existences, the purple-robed man and the Heavenly Court's golden-haired giant.

As soon as that giant palm appeared, he had immediately withdrawn all his soul power and hidden deep within the corpse's brain, only now daring to show a little of himself.
