Chapter 71: Nirvana Saint Body

A deafening roar came!

Amid swirling golden light, a yellow giant palm the size of several mu descended from the sky and unceremoniously swatted at a blurry green shadow. But the green shadow, extremely swift, twisted with uncanny agility and narrowly shot past the giant palm.

Boom!

The giant palm crashed down on a mountain peak like Mount Tai pressing down.

With an earth-shattering bang, the entire mountain peak burst apart and collapsed.

A green flash—in an instant, it circled behind the right arm of the yellow-turbaned giant connected to the palm. The feathered crown atop its head blazed with green light, and its body radiated dazzling cyan radiance, which instantly gathered onto a pair of sharp claws, which then slashed downward fiercely.

A tearing sound of air being rent echoed!

Dozens of cyan claw streaks formed a cyan net, grabbing at the giant's right arm. Wherever it passed, the void was easily sliced open, revealing crisscrossing pitch-black scars.

The yellow-turbaned giant raised its head, but its right arm was still in the process of retracting, seemingly unable to dodge in time.

A series of metallic clangs erupted as cyan and gold light burst forth between the claw net and the giant's right arm. But it was only a flash; the claw streaks paused briefly, then tore through the golden light like shreds of paper.

With a 'pfft,' the giant's right arm, as if made of tofu, was easily severed by the cyan claw net.

Joy flickered in the eyes of Han Li, transformed into a green luan. But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

The severed giant arm suddenly blazed with golden spiritual patterns on its surface, then instantly exploded. A vast expanse of mysterious yellow mist burst outward, transforming into a massive cloud of mysterious yellow covering dozens of mu.

Although the green luan flapped its wings to flee the moment it sensed something wrong, the cloud was too vast, and it was still engulfed.

It felt the air around it suddenly tighten, and its movements became extremely sluggish.

In the surrounding mysterious yellow mist, countless yellow threads were binding its body and limbs.

The green luan let out a clear cry and was about to struggle, but the yellow threads merely trembled, and countless yellow runes surged out from them.

It immediately felt the surrounding void sink again, as if a giant mountain pressed down on its entire body, making even the slightest movement difficult.

But the next moment, a large patch of silver flame burst out from its body, enveloping it entirely.

With a sizzling sound, the yellow threads were continuously melted and dispersed, but countless more yellow threads swarmed in from all directions, relentlessly binding it again.

However, in this constant dissolution and reformation of the threads, the green luan finally gained a sliver of opportunity to move.

Just as blue light flickered in its eyes, trying to find a way to escape, the surrounding void suddenly darkened, and an invisible force pressed down.

'Not good!' Han Li exclaimed inwardly.

Then, an enormous hand eerily appeared right beside him, so close he could almost see the thick lines on its palm, and without a word, the five fingers closed inward.

In desperation, Han Li's body flashed with golden light and instantly transformed into a golden-furred mountain giant ape.

'Boom!'

The giant hand's five fingers suddenly clenched, grabbing him in its palm.

The golden-furred giant ape bared its teeth, feeling an overwhelming invisible force pressing against its body like a tidal wave, producing a loud cracking sound. Fortunately, its physical body was strong enough to withstand it for now.

What horrified it was that the Essence Fire Silver Flame had no effect on the giant palm.

At this moment, the mysterious yellow mist around them rolled back violently, revealing the massive form of the yellow-turbaned giant not far away. The waxy yellow face on its head showed a sinister grin, and its left hand was firmly gripping the giant ape's body.

A dazzling yellow light flickered a few times at the giant's chest, and then a shocking scene unfolded.

The mysterious yellow mist converged toward the wound on its severed right arm. After a moment of intertwining and rolling, a brand-new arm instantly regenerated, and without a word, it raised its hand, clenched its fist like a small mountain, and smashed down fiercely at the giant ape's head.

Before it even landed, the terrifying force contained in the giant fist caused the void within a hundred zhang to boom and suddenly warp and twist.

Seeing this, Han Li, transformed into the giant ape, felt secretly bitter.

Even if his physical body were extremely powerful, being hit directly on the head by such a giant fist would either kill him or leave him severely injured.

'There's no other choice!'

Han Li muttered to himself, urged the spell in his heart, and suddenly a brilliant purple light burst from his body.

With a loud "bang!"

The yellow-turbaned giant's left fist came crashing down, but in the next moment, a flicker of surprise crossed his face.

His left fist did not smash the giant ape's head below as expected; instead, with a "bang" on the back of his hand, a purple rainbow light pierced straight through. His right hand also had its fingers curled back, as if broken.

The purple light tumbled not far away, and as it faded, it revealed a golden giant ape, a full two to three hundred zhang tall.

Unlike before, this giant ape was covered in countless purple-gold scales, with a single cyan horn on its head, and on its shoulders and ribs grew two more ape heads and four furry purple-gold long arms.

Han Li had actually unleashed his ultimate trump card technique, the "Nirvana Sacred Body"!

The yellow-turbaned giant looked at the six-armed giant ape, his expression turning grave. The injuries on his hands healed instantly, and they began to hum.

A layer of yellow light emerged on his fists, from which several huge golden runes flew out, spun around, and then flashed into the fists, causing them to instantly swell to twice their size. A terrifying volcanic force brewed within, and though it had not yet erupted, its aftershocks already caused the nearby void to tremble with a hum.

Seeing this, the transformed six-armed giant ape let out a loud roar, took a stride spanning several hundred zhang, and appeared before the yellow-turbaned giant. He threw two punches, his fists blazing with purple-gold light.

The yellow-turbaned giant, seeing this, did not hesitate to swing his fists to meet them.

Boom!

The four fists collided with a thunderous roar, causing the nearby void to hum loudly, and a vast force rippled outward!

This time, the six-armed giant ape stood firm, while the yellow-turbaned giant's body shook violently and was sent flying backward.

Not only that, but the surfaces of his two fists were a bloody mess, and both arms were bent at an odd angle, completely broken.

The giant's eyes were filled with disbelief as his enormous body flew back hundreds of zhang and slammed heavily into a mountain peak.

Boom!

The mountain peak collapsed as if made of paper.

The yellow-turbaned giant's backward momentum did not stop; he continued flying back, crashing through several more mountain peaks before barely managing to stabilize himself.

But at that moment, with a flash of purple-gold light, the six-armed giant ape had already chased after him like a shadow.

The yellow-turbaned giant was startled but not panicked. A large amount of yellow light surged continuously from his chest, rapidly spreading to his broken arms to heal the injuries there. At the same time, he swept his right leg out like a giant blade, aiming at the giant ape's waist.

A surging, immense force erupted violently, kicking up a thick white air current in the air.

The six-armed giant ape suddenly crouched low, performing an extremely ugly "lazy donkey roll" to dodge the giant's kick, then immediately sprang up, ramming into the giant with brutal force. His two lowest purple-gold arms wrapped tightly around the giant's body, sending him flying again.

The yellow-turbaned giant's face showed great alarm. A burst of yellow light flared from his body, and he raised his not-yet-fully-healed arms, struggling to break free.

But the giant ape's middle two arms shot out, gripping the giant's arms like steel bands, and with a crack, broke them again. Meanwhile, the top two arms flashed with purple-gold light, taking on a metallic sheen, and punched fiercely into the giant's chest.

Pfft!

The two arms pierced straight through the giant's body and churned inside. The yellow-turbaned giant's movements halted, the light in his eyes dimmed rapidly, and the healing of his arms also stopped.

The waxy yellow human face phantom on his face showed a look of fury, then with a "pop," it shattered and disappeared.

Han Li withdrew his two arms from the yellow-turbaned giant's body. In one hand, he held a yellow bean that emitted a dazzling light.

The yellow-turbaned giant's body trembled. As Han Li pulled out his arms, all the golden light on the giant dissipated. After his feet instinctively took a few steps back, countless cracks appeared on the surface of his thousand-zhang-tall body, which then quickly shattered into a large cloud of yellow smoke that drifted away with the wind.

Almost at the same time, the six-armed giant ape's aura plummeted. With a flash of purple-gold light, he reverted to human form, his face deathly pale.

He quickly took out a cloud-crane herb and swallowed it, after which his complexion improved slightly.

Looking at the gradually dissipating yellow smoke, Han Li let out a long breath, a trace of relief in his eyes.

Although this yellow-turbaned giant was not skilled in spells, his physical body was extremely powerful, and his immense strength was comparable to that of so-called Mystic Immortals. If not for using the Nirvana transformation, he would have been no match.

But this technique required not only a powerful physical body but also consumed a huge amount of mana. With his current mana, he could not have sustained it at all.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to the fact that after reaching the sixth layer of the Little Big Dipper Star Art, the Five Zang Forging Art, which normally required absorbing a large amount of natural spiritual energy to function, had regained some of its power, allowing his five viscera and six bowels to store some mana.

Although this required dozens of times more innate purple qi and was not cost-effective, after discovering the unusual behavior of the Jingyuan Temple, he had not hesitated to swallow almost all the cloud-crane herbs he had.

Even so, it was only enough to sustain him for a few breaths, and the power still could not reach its peak.

Fortunately, the yellow-turbaned giant had not reacted in time. If he had turned and fled as soon as he saw the transformation, and just bought a little time, Han Li would have been the one to fall.

As the medicinal power of the cloud-crane herb continuously converted into mana, Han Li's complexion quickly recovered. He glanced at the yellow bean in his hand, raised an eyebrow slightly, and put it away with a flip of his hand.
