"Jin Tong, what's wrong?"

Han Li's heart tightened, and he quickly asked through his mental connection, but the latter did not respond.

His eyes flashed with blue light, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the Gold Devouring Immortal, only to find that it had returned to the ground, its figure submerged in the noisy dust and rolling baleful aura, making it impossible to see clearly.

At this moment, the Crab Taoist, who had retreated far away, transformed into a golden light and flew to Han Li's side.

"Crab Taoist, something seems to have happened to Jin Tong. I need to go down and take a look. You stay here and protect Mo Guang." Han Li felt uneasy and said.

"Alright, go ahead." The Crab Taoist glanced at Mo Guang in the baleful aura and nodded.

Han Li's body flashed with green light, and his figure quickly plunged down, rushing into the completely collapsed abyss again.

Following a faint aura, his figure flashed among the chaotic rocks, and he quickly found the huge golden beetle deep inside.

But then, his brows furrowed slightly.

He saw the Gold Devouring Immortal of the Grand Luo Realm lying motionless on the ground, its body shining with a layer of almost crystalline light. Besides that, he couldn't find any trace of Jin Tong.

If it weren't for the faint mental connection, he would have thought Jin Tong had met with misfortune.

After calming himself, Han Li immediately activated his divine sense to scan the golden beetle's body. He found that its vitality was still quite strong despite some damage, and its divine sense fluctuations were particularly intense.

After a moment of contemplation, Han Li immediately understood that the Gold Devouring Immortal of the Grand Luo Realm must have rushed into Jin Tong's sea of consciousness to try to devour her soul when it saw Jin Tong about to bite through its heart meridian.

In fact, it was indeed the case.

In Jin Tong's sea of consciousness, towering waves were constantly rolling, and two golden beetles, one large and one small, were fiercely tearing at each other.

The slightly larger Gold Devouring Insect, although it had a size advantage, had a somewhat dim light on its body, obviously not fully recovered after being injured. The smaller one, however, shone with golden light and had the home-field advantage, so it fought even more fiercely.

There was no communication between them, either verbally or mentally. At this moment, they only had one thought:

It's either you die, or I die!

"Chī..."

"Sī lā..."

"Hōng"

Sounds of tearing continued to ring out, and parts of the bodies of the two Gold Devouring Insects were constantly being devoured by the other. However, no blood flowed out, only layers of hazy golden light dissipated like mist.

The soul of the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Insect lunged forward. After being dodged by Jin Tong's soul, it couldn't stop its momentum and was about to turn back when Jin Tong bit off a section of its wing.

Just then, the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal suddenly turned around and bit down on Jin Tong's head, ignoring its severed wing.

Jin Tong couldn't dodge in time and was about to be bitten off.

At the critical moment, a snow-white crystal light suddenly appeared out of nowhere from above the sea of consciousness. Like a white lightning bolt, it struck the head of the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal, causing it to tremble violently and fall down.

When the white crystal light flashed, Jin Tong's soul also felt a sharp pain, almost unable to withstand it.

But after all, this was her own sea of consciousness, the source of her divine sense power. After gritting her teeth and enduring it, she immediately lunged towards the soul of the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal and tore at its head.

Outside the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal's body, Han Li sat cross-legged on the ground with a slightly pale face, closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing.

It was he who had sensed that Jin Tong was in danger and used the Refining Divine Technique again to forcibly inject a strand of divine sense crystal silk into Jin Tong's sea of consciousness, saving her.

……

Noon the next day.

A crisp "ka" sound woke Han Li up.

He first glanced at Mo Guang and the Crab Taoist, who were sitting cross-legged not far from him, and then looked at the shell of the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal. He found that the layer of crystal light surrounding it had shattered, and the vast vitality it contained was rapidly draining away at a certain rate.

Then, Jin Tong's figure flew out from the wound on the Gold Devouring Immortal's body.

Seeing this, Han Li revealed a smile and was about to speak when he heard Jin Tong say expressionlessly:

"Trouble you, Uncle, to protect me."

Han Li's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he nodded silently.

He, the Crab Taoist, and Mo Guang all retreated more than ten miles away, occupying a position in each direction, forming a mutually supporting formation, surrounding Jin Tong and the corpse of the Grand Luo Realm Gold Devouring Immortal in the center.

Jin Tong glanced at the three of them from afar, and then golden light lit up on her body. She floated in the air above the corpse and slowly closed her eyes.

With a wave of her two small hands, a large amount of golden light surged out of her body, intertwined and swirled in the air. Under the violent rolling and flowing, it formed a golden vortex, which continued to grow larger. In the blink of an eye, it was already hundreds of feet in size.

Countless golden runes swirled and flashed within it, emitting a strong wave of law power, containing a certain restless aura.

The remains of the golden beetle were stirred by the vortex and slowly submerged into it.

Jin Tong suddenly opened her eyes, and the golden light on her body suddenly intensified, spraying out rays of tangible golden flames in all directions.

In the next moment, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, all the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth converged towards the golden vortex like crazy. The nearby ground also suddenly cracked open, and visible spiritual power gushed out from it. It was the spiritual Qi in some underground spiritual veins nearby, which also converged towards the golden vortex.

In the blink of an eye, large patches of five-colored spiritual clouds appeared above the golden vortex, covering the sky below. Five-colored electric arcs rolled in the spiritual clouds, looming.

In the golden vortex, Jin Tong's body was gradually enveloped by the surrounding golden light, and her figure gradually blurred, as if she had merged into the golden light. But it was clear that the aura she exuded was rising steadily, constantly becoming stronger.

Han Li stood in the distance in mid-air, took out two pills and swallowed them, silently watching everything in front of him.

Mo Guang stood with his hands behind his back, also silent, but his eyes flickered slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

The Crab Taoist simply sat down cross-legged, his eyes watching his nose, and his nose watching his heart, as if it were none of his business.

"Boss is about to advance again!" Pi Xiu didn't know when he appeared beside Han Li, raised his head and looked at the scene in mid-air. His eyes reflected the scorching golden light, full of envy.

The golden vortex rotated faster and faster, and the huge figure of the golden beetle was slowly sucked into it.

Rumble!

The golden vortex suddenly swelled, and a dazzling golden ball of light appeared in the center, making it impossible to look directly at it. Countless golden runes of all sizes flashed around it, emitting bursts of梵音 sounds.

At this moment, the surface of the golden ball of light in the center of the vortex suddenly became unstable, bulging with large bulges from time to time, and even shaking constantly.

At the same time, a low roar came from inside, which sounded like Jin Tong, as if a little irritable and painful.

Han Li frowned slightly, with a solemn look on his face.

Golden shadows flashed in the golden vortex, vaguely showing a huge golden beetle phantom, which looked like the Gold Devouring Immortal that had just been killed. It seemed to be running and walking around the vortex, roaring back and forth, ferocious, and roaring at the golden ball of light in the center of the vortex from time to time.

"Although Jin Tong has destroyed the primordial spirit of that Gold Devouring Immortal, there are still some mixed grudges left in its corpse, some of which do not belong to it... If she wants to completely absorb that Gold Devouring Immortal, she must first defeat this grudge. I wonder if she can do it." Mo Guang suddenly said at this moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge whistling sound suddenly came from the golden ball of light, and then a thick golden beam of light sprayed out from it. Then the light scattered and turned into another huge golden beetle phantom, which was Jin Tong.

With a thunderous roar, Jin Tong's phantom shone with golden light and rushed towards the golden beetle phantom with a fierce aura.

The golden beetle phantom was not to be outdone, and jumped forward to meet Jin Tong.

The two immediately fought together, and the golden light rolled and intertwined violently, erupting in bursts of roaring sounds.

The beetle phantom transformed by Jin Tong was smaller in size and was slightly at a disadvantage at the moment, constantly being forced back.

"Oops, boss seems to be at a disadvantage, Master..." Pi Xiu said anxiously when he saw this scene.

"We can't help in this battle." Han Li shook his head, his face calm.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the front, and the golden light on the golden beetle phantom shone brightly, knocking Jin Tong away.

The golden beetle phantom let out an excited roar, and its huge body flew out in hot pursuit. Its two huge front claws slashed down fiercely, with extremely swift and heavy force, seemingly wanting to cut Jin Tong into three pieces.

At this moment, Jin Tong's staggering body suddenly stabilized. At the same time, her body twisted violently, turning into an afterimage and passing through the golden beetle's front claws with extreme speed, appearing behind it in a flash.

The golden beetle was stunned. Before it could react, its body tightened and Jin Tong hugged it tightly from behind, unable to move.

Jin Tong waved her two front claws and slashed at the golden beetle's head.

"Dang!"

Although the golden beetle could not turn around to meet the enemy, it hurriedly put its two front claws beside its head in desperation, blocking Jin Tong's blow.

The four front claws crossed each other, and golden stars flashed wildly at the junction, squeaking and rattling.

A look of madness appeared in Jin Tong's eyes, and she suddenly raised her head and let out a long whistle that pierced through the clouds. The golden light in front of her suddenly shone brightly, and even more dazzling golden light appeared on her two front claws.

"Kēng"

Jin Tong's front claws cut off the golden beetle's front claws, and then crossed its head.

The golden beetle's head flew into the sky, and then its huge body flashed violently twice before exploding with a bang, turning into a large patch of golden light and dissipating.

The phantom transformed by Jin Tong suddenly opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath.

The golden light transformed by the golden beetle immediately flew back, turning into a golden torrent and submerging into the mouth of the phantom transformed by Jin Tong.
