Chapter 453: Betrayal

Chapter 453: Betrayal

The four treasures that Han Li had just summoned were the very same immortal treasures that he had obtained after killing Tao Yu and his two guards.

Immediately thereafter, he opened his mouth to release four balls of azure light into the four immortal treasures, and the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain swelled rapidly in size while releasing dazzling gray light.

Countless balls of gray light the size of water vats flew out of the mountain one after another toward the surrounding gray shadows, while the silver bell was also glowing radiantly with silver light while chiming loudly to send silver soundwaves surging through the air in all directions.

At the same time, the tusk sword and the black flag were also releasing formidable streaks of tusk-shaped sword qi and waves of black light, respectively.

Out of these four immortal treasures, none of them had been refined much by Han Li with the exception of the Integrated Five Extremes Mountains, but their combined power was still extremely formidable, and coupled with the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, they were able to keep the surrounding gray shadows at bay again.

However, right at this moment, Han Li felt a shadow suddenly loom over him, following which a giant gray dragon claw emerged out of thin air amid a burst of spatial fluctuations.

The dragon claw was formed by gray mist, yet it was extremely imposing and appeared to have a substantial form. It seemed to possess boundless power, reaching straight through the sword qi released by the tusk sword before grabbing toward Han Li's chest with unstoppable might.

Han Li remained completely unfazed as Daoist Xie abruptly appeared in front of him in its humanoid puppet form amid a flash of golden lightning, and it reached out with both hands to release thick arcs of lightning, which converged in the blink of an eye to form a giant golden lightning ax.

The ax was swung viciously through the air, and it clashed against the gray dragon claw with an earth-shattering boom.

Daoist Xie shuddered as it took a step back, but the gray dragon claw was also repelled and faded away into the surrounding gray space.

Qu Ling raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, clearly not expecting Han Li to have a Golden Immortal Stage puppet on his side, but a cold sneer then appeared on her face as she laid a hand onto the other gray dragon on her armrest.

Her gray throne began to glow radiantly once again as three gray mirrors slowly emerged from behind it. On the surface of each mirror was inscribed an ancient character for "decay", "insanity", and "death".

The entire gray spirit domain began to ripple once again as all of the surrounding gray shadows surged violently, while the gray light within the domain rapidly became denser.

Han Li's heart jolted slightly upon seeing this, yet before he had a chance to do anything, the gray throne abruptly shuddered, and the dense gray light that it was releasing quickly faded, while the unrest within the gray domain also subsided.

Qu Ling was rather taken aback by this, and she quickly noticed that for some reason, threads of white light that were crackling incessantly had appeared within the gray light being released by her throne.

She immediately stopped what she was doing upon seeing this, then opened her mouth to release a burst of silver light that enveloped the entire throne.

Only then was the throne slowly stabilized, and the hints of white light within the gray light gradually began to fade away.

Qu Ling's expression eased slightly upon seeing this, but she continued to cast a string of incantation seals into the gray throne. At the same time, she swept her other sleeve through the air, releasing two streaks of light, one azure and one golden, and they transformed into a giant azure silkworm and a huge golden beetle, respectively.

"Go and capture that man, but take care not to hurt him as he's going to be very useful to me," Qu Ling instructed.

The giant azure silkworm immediately heeded her call, flying through the air toward Han Li, while the golden beetle remained still on the spot.

Qu Ling's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and she instructed in a cold voice, "You go as well!"

Han Li instantly stopped cold in his tracks as he stared blankly at the golden beetle.

The golden beetle also looked back at Han Li with a bright gleam in its beady little eyes.

The azure silkworm was ecstatic to see that Han Li had suddenly drawn to a halt, and it opened its cavernous mouth to release another flurry of azure silken threads, which instantly formed another azure net that swooped down upon Han Li.

Han Li immediately snapped back to his senses upon seeing this, withdrawing his gaze from the golden beetle as he pointed a finger at the black tusk sword.

A vast expanse of black swordlight surged out of the tusk sword, instantly forming a sea of sword qi that was around an acre in size to oppose the descending azure net.

The giant azure silkworm screeched in derision as it opened its mouth once again, releasing a gust of fierce azure wind this time.

The gust of wind was filled with azure blades of wind that swept rapidly through the air, hurtling toward Han Li from another direction to prevent him from getting away.

All of a sudden, a burst of bright golden light erupted out of the golden beetle's body, then converged entirely onto its two front legs.

Two streaks of translucent light that were each several hundred feet in length instantly appeared on those two front legs, and they were giving off a peerlessly sharp aura.

With a wave of its two front legs, the golden beetle released the two streaks of translucent light, but instead of attacking Han Li, it was targeting the giant azure silkworm beside it.

The azure silkworm was greatly alarmed by this, and it hurriedly attempted to fly back in retreat, but the two streaks of translucent light had been unleashed from very close proximity and were far too fast for it to evade.

Two dull thuds rang out, and green blood splattered in all directions as the giant silkworm's body was sliced into three pieces by the two streaks of translucent light.

As a result, the descending azure net and the gust of fierce azure wind instantly dissipated in unison.

A hint of elation flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this, and there was also a hint of nostalgia, as if he had been reunited with an old friend.

The azure silkworm screeched frantically, and the three sections of its body all began to radiate dazzling azure light as they continued to flee into the distance.

At the same time, they assembled themselves back together, and the flesh around the gashes was squirming incessantly while slowly fusing as one again.

The golden beetle immediately lashed out once again upon seeing this, releasing a flurry of streaks of translucent light at once this time.

In the face of these streaks of translucent light, the azure silkworm's body was as fragile as tofu, and it was instantly shredded into countless pieces.

At the same time, the golden beetle flew through the air as a streak of golden light, passing through the shredded remains of the azure silkworm before emerging on the other side in a flash.

Held in its mouth none other than the azure silkworm's nascent, which appeared as if it had been carved out of green jade and was radiating dazzling azure light.

Immediately thereafter, the golden beetle opened its mouth before devouring the nascent soul whole.

After that, it still didn't seem to be completely satisfied, and a burst of golden light surged out of its mouth to draw in the scattered remains of the giant azure silkworm for its consumption.

All of this had taken place in the span of just a few seconds.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
