Chapter 1180 Unexpected Variables

"It seems that Senior True Spirit Kings Luo Hou and Youtian Kunpeng still have no intention of returning to the wilderness." Lichi Ma sighed as he witnessed the scene.

"Why haven't these two seniors stayed in the wilderness like Senior Bai Ze?" Han Li asked.

"Senior Luo Hou and Senior Youtian Kunpeng both have a fondness for wandering freely and often travel between the myriad realms. I have never even seen their true forms. Now that the Immortal World is in turmoil and the wilderness is also experiencing turbulent times, I hope these two seniors can return soon and work with my father to revitalize the wilderness," Lichi Ma lamented.

Han Li nodded but remained silent.

As the phantom of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the other five True Spirit Kings solidified, Bai Ze ceased his activation of the Wildfire. Several figures that had been separated descended to the ground and merged into one.

"The power of the bloodlines of the five True Spirit Kings has been summoned. Although it is not complete, I believe it should be sufficient. The five of you should quickly select successors to fuse with these five True Spirit King bloodlines," Bai Ze said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your completion!" The members of the Qing Ape, Zou Wu, and the other five clans all rose and bowed deeply to Bai Ze in gratitude.

Today's successful summoning of the bloodlines of the five True Spirit Kings was thanks to Bai Ze's assistance. Otherwise, the blood array they had deployed would not have been able to spread very far.

Bai Ze casually waved his hand and walked toward the Hun Dun and Lei Peng clans.

The five clans had already chosen their successors.

From the Qing Ape, Zou Wu, and Moving Mountain Ape clans, Qing Dian, the white-haired youth, and the little white ape flew out, landed beside the True Spirit bloodlines, and sat cross-legged in the void, beginning to fuse with the True Spirit bloodlines.

Only Little White from the Ink-Eyed Pixiu clan was present, so there was no need for discussion.

Within the Celestial Fox clan, Liu Le'er also emerged from the crowd amidst the envious gazes of the other young Celestial Foxes, flying to the side of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline phantom, about to begin fusion as well.

"Hold on!" Just then, a voice came from outside.

Before the voice faded, a streak of gray-white light flashed, landing beside the Celestial Fox clan and revealing a figure – a middle-aged man in a gray robe.

The man's appearance was quite refined, but his expression constantly flickered with a coldness, as if shrouded in a layer of shadow.

"Who is it?" The members of each clan were startled at the sight, and many shouted out in alarm.

Inheriting the True Spirit King bloodline was an extremely important matter for the various clans of the wilderness.

The entire Mount Eight Desolations was now completely surrounded by the members of each clan, and outside the Asura Blood Gate was a net of restrictions to prevent the ceremony from being disrupted. Naturally, they didn't know how this shouting person had entered.

Han Li, upon seeing the newcomer, revealed a look of surprise.

The appearance of the middle-aged man in the gray robe was very familiar. It was none other than Liu Zizai.

"No, he's not Liu Zizai. Although the appearance is the same, the temperament is somewhat different," Han Li's eyes flashed, and he quickly shook his head.

The middle-aged man in the gray robe gave off a cold feeling, which was very different from Liu Zizai.

Moreover, for some reason, this person gave Han Li a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"It's him!" Lichi Ma's gaze sharpened, seemingly recognizing the middle-aged man in the gray robe.

And when the Celestial Fox clan members saw the middle-aged man in the gray robe, most of their faces revealed shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Fellow Daoists, Liu is also a member of the Celestial Fox clan. I am here today to compete for the inheritance of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's True Spirit King bloodline, not to cause trouble. If I have brought any adverse effects to everyone, please forgive me," the middle-aged man in the gray robe cupped his hands, glanced around and bowed, and the gray-white light on his body flourished greatly.

An incomparably pure aura of the Celestial Fox bloodline erupted from this person's body, and this aura was extremely vast. The space around him trembled violently, as if it were a chaotic water surface.

The faces of the Celestial Fox clan members changed greatly, and they were forced to stagger backward by this aura. Only Liu Qing and the two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, beside him could stand firm.

Liu Le'er, who was suspended in mid-air, was affected by this aura and was also blown away, her pretty face paling.

However, at that moment, a figure flashed beside Liu Le'er, and Han Li's figure appeared, supporting Liu Le'er and waving his hand to emit a golden light, forming a layer of golden light shield in front of the two to block the massive aura that continued to surge.

Liu Le'er breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Han Li.

Han Li ignored Liu Le'er, just looked at the middle-aged man in the gray robe, his pupils constricting.

The cultivation of this middle-aged man in the gray robe had actually reached the Great Luo Realm peak, no weaker than the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor that day, and faintly stronger.

"This person is too strong. We can't contend with him. Let's avoid him first," Han Li thought, transmitting his voice to Liu Le'er.

Liu Le'er naturally had no objection, so the two retreated toward the rear.

And as Han Li flew back, he turned his head to look at the Hun Dun and Lei Peng clans next to him.

Bai Ze was standing there at the moment, also looking at the middle-aged man in the gray robe, but he did not blame the middle-aged man in the gray robe for breaking in without permission, but just stood there quietly watching, like an outsider.

And the other people of each clan in the blood-colored space, including the clan leaders, felt the aura of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, their expressions changed, and those who had previously scolded the middle-aged man in the gray robe shut their mouths and quietly retreated.

The Celestial Fox clan members quickly stabilized their bodies, and among the crowd, Liu Qing also glanced at Bai Ze beside him.

Seeing that the other party was standing aside indifferently, his brows furrowed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, waving his hand to let a few people behind him protect Liu Le'er.

Liu Qing saw the situation where Han Li protected Liu Le'er and retreated. He did not doubt Han Li's concern for Liu Le'er, so he did not stop it.

Three Celestial Fox clan figures flashed and appeared around Han Li and Liu Le'er, namely Hu San, Elder Mu, and a black-faced old man, with a Taiyi Realm peak cultivation base.

"Fellow Daoist Han, thank you for protecting Miss Le'er in the critical moment just now," Hu San cupped his hands and thanked.

The black-faced old man also thanked him, and Elder Mu also cupped his hands reluctantly.

"Le'er is not an outsider to me. I should do so. Fellow Daoist Liu, you don't have to be polite," Han Li glanced at Elder Mu and ignored him, nodding to Hu San.

"Not long after our last farewell, Fellow Daoist Han's strength has improved greatly. Especially at this moment, facing so many experts, his spirit is not affected at all, which is admirable," Hu San looked Han Li up and down and sighed.

Hearing this, Han Li's gaze swept over Liu Le'er, Hu San, the black-faced old man, and the other Taiyi Realm existences beside him, and his heart moved.

At this moment, the many Great Luo existences in the blood-colored space were all releasing their own aura, resisting the middle-aged man in the gray robe. The entire blood-colored space was filled with the terrifying pressure of the Great Luo level. Although Liu Le'er, Hu San, and other Taiyi Realm existences barely maintained their composure on the surface, their spirits were constantly shaking, and it could be said that they were shivering.

This was the powerful divine pressure of the Great Luo Realm, a natural suppression of the Taiyi Realm.

From the Taiyi Realm to the Great Luo Realm, in addition to the breakthrough in cultivation, the more important thing was that the spirit would also undergo a great transformation and begin to merge with the flesh.

Every move of a Great Luo Realm cultivator would carry this overwhelming power of the spirit.

Therefore, when Taiyi Realm cultivators faced the Great Luo Realm, they were often restrained and lost 90% before they even made a move.

Han Li used to feel this suppression of the spiritual will when facing the Great Luo Realm existences, but he had cultivated the Spirit Refining Technique, and his spirit was much stronger than that of ordinary Taiyi Realm cultivators, so this pressure was much smaller. Therefore, he could compete with those Great Luo Realm existences and even win by relying on the power of the Time Law.

However, at this moment, he seemed to feel no suppression at all, so when Liu Le'er was in danger, he was the first to stand in front of Liu Le'er before those of the Celestial Fox clan could react.

Han Li's eyebrows moved, but he soon realized the reason.

During this period of time, although his cultivation had not improved, he had refined and mastered the Years God Lamp, the Time Law crystal threads in his body had continuously increased greatly, he had also comprehended the Tongtian Sword Formation, and he had also arranged the Time Difference Space. He was increasingly confident in himself, and his spiritual realm was constantly growing.

Unknowingly, although his spiritual power had not increased, his spiritual realm had undergone a subtle transformation, and the powerful spirit of the Great Luo Realm existences could no longer suppress him.

Han Li noticed the change in his spirit and was secretly delighted, but he did not show it on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Liu is too kind. Han's strength is nothing compared to the Celestial Fox clan. Let's see how Clan Leader Liu Qing repels the enemy," he said indifferently.

A strange light flashed in Hu San's eyes, and he did not continue to dwell on this matter, looking ahead.

The Celestial Fox clan members had all recovered from the shock at this moment, looking at the middle-aged man in the gray robe, confronting each other.

"Liu Tianhao, you dared to come to this Asura Blood Gate after doing such a thing back then. You have great courage!" Liu Qing stepped out of the crowd, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"The things back then? I don't know what Fellow Daoist Liu Qing is talking about. Please tell me," Liu Tianhao did not care about the murderous intent in Liu Qing's words, smiling faintly.

"Your memory doesn't seem to be very good. That's okay, there's plenty of time for you to think about it under the Nine Springs!" Liu Qing smiled grimly and waved his hand.

The blood-colored space around Liu Tianhao disappeared without a trace in an instant. Everything in front of him went black, and instantly turned into a dense black sky. Countless stars twinkled in it, forming a huge Milky Way, spinning rapidly.

He seemed to have been taken to the depths of the endless starry sky.

The huge Milky Way suddenly increased in size, filling the entire starry sky at once, and rotating violently.

A terrifying force that seemed to be able to crush the starry sky permeated out of the rotating Milky Way, engulfing Liu Tianhao, about to tear his body apart.

At the same time, meteorites roared like electricity from the Milky Way, knocking Liu Tianhao's body away, and blood splattered.

"Hmm? The illusionary realm is well cultivated, reaching the realm of Illusionary Demon Follows the Heart. It's a pity that this degree can't trap me," Liu Tianhao ignored the injuries on his body, raised his eyebrows, and then pinched a magic seal with his right hand.

A light flashed between his eyebrows, and a gray-white light mark appeared.

Then the mark split left and right, turning into a gray-white vertical eye, shooting out endless gray-white flames.

The gray-white flames emitted an extremely pure illusion law. Wherever the flames burned, the starry sky would immediately collapse.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding starry sky was completely annihilated, and he returned to the blood-colored space.

And the injuries on Liu Tianhao's body also disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
