While Li Feiyu and his group were rushing to Wei Wuya's location, several figures, whose auras indicated they were Nascent Soul Cultivators, also flew in from other directions.
"Senior Brother Cheng?" Han Li asked, surprised, after clearly sensing them.
There were three people who arrived; one was Cheng Tiankun of the Falling Cloud Sect, another was Celestial Crystal Master, with whom Han Li had previously traded, and the last was an unfamiliar old man.
"Seeing how rushed they are, could it be that they think some rare treasure has appeared over there?"
Li Feiyu's lips curved into a playful, speechless smile.
Han Li's brow was tinged with anxiety. Of the three, the other two were negligible, but Cheng Tiankun had treated him quite well in the Falling Cloud Sect and had never wronged him.
He prided himself on not being a cold-hearted person, understanding the distinction between kindness and enmity, and knowing how to repay favors. Thus, he wanted to use a Divine Sense message to warn them of the danger there, but unfortunately, the Divine Sense message technique had a distance limit, and it was already too late to stop them.
Han Li accelerated, flying over first.
As they got closer, they discovered that within the purple-black abnormal light, a humanoid Devil Head was emitting purple light, while the surrounding blackness was vast expanses of Devilish Qi.
The Devil Head's eyes were tightly shut, as if it was half-awake, its mouth not open, yet a thunderous roar emanated from its abdomen.
Its two arms swung mechanically, continuously throwing black flames, one after another, towards the green cloud below.
Within the green cloud, it continuously churned like raging waves, extinguishing the black flames repeatedly, and a giant green python formed, rushing into the Devilish Qi, attempting to bite the Devil Head at the center.
The two fought fiercely, evenly matched, thus creating this astonishing phenomenon.
However, judging by the situation, the Devil Head did not seem to be truly awake, but even so, it was forcing Wei Wuya, a Great Cultivator, to respond with full effort.
"This Old Wei, when he goes all out, his strength is truly not to be underestimated," Li Feiyu observed carefully.
Han Li looked at Cheng Tiankun and the others, who were somewhat stunned nearby, and conveyed the situation to them through Divine Sense.
Upon learning that a Devil Body of an Ancient Devil was battling Wei Wuya, and that the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul, which had taken over Marquis Nanlong, was lurking nearby, all of them changed drastically in expression, deeply regretting that they had come to wade into these troubled waters due to greed.
However, trying to leave now was probably impossible.
Wei Wuya's voice emerged from the green cloud, filled with surprise.
"Brother Li, you've arrived. Unfortunately, that place wasn't found; it was all a deception."
"We were deceived by the Devil Soul and entered the spatial rift sealing the Devil Soul and Devil Body. Wang Tiansheng and Wang Tiangu, the two brothers, have already died in the explosion of the spatial rift. Although I narrowly escaped, I also suffered serious injuries and am now barely holding on."
"With your help, I believe this Devil Body can be suppressed."
"Fellow Daoists, for the safety of Heavenly South, please also lend a hand. Otherwise, if this Devil Head escapes from Devilfall Valley, our Heavenly South will likely suffer countless casualties."
With Wei Wuya speaking in such a manner, the Nascent Soul Cultivators present could not refuse to act. Once this battle was over, those who fled would surely face Wei Wuya's reckoning.
Unless, like Li Feiyu, their Divine Ability was superior to his.
Upon hearing this, Han Li knew what place Wei Wuya was referring to, and a bitter feeling arose in his heart.
He felt as if he had been tricked by Li Feiyu, yet also not.
The Lingmiao Garden mentioned by the Ghost Spirit Sect was a deception, and it was likely that all the Cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect were unaware of this, otherwise they would not have ended up in such a predicament.
Perhaps, it was just his bad luck.
Han Li comforted himself in this way.
Now that he was on a pirate ship, it was impossible for Han Li to leave.
"Everyone, stop looking, let's act!"
At Li Feiyu's command, everyone attacked the Ancient Devil's Devil Body.
As for Han Li and Li Feiyu, they used their Aura Divine Ability to discover the traces of the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul. Just as they were about to attack, something unexpected happened.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Body actually attacked the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul, forcing it out of its hidden state.
However, they belonged to the same source, and the Ancient Devil's Devil Body's attack was merely a probing one, so it didn't harm the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul at all. Instead, the Devil Soul devoured the black demonic flames.
Everyone stopped, waiting to see what would happen.
When the Devil Soul and Devil Body conversed, it was revealed that their relationship was indeed that of a main Primordial Spirit and a Second Primordial Spirit, as Li Feiyu had guessed.
Among them, the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul, which occupied Marquis Nanlong, was the dominant one.
In the Demon Realm, examples of Second Primordial Spirits rebelling were countless, and they were both accustomed to it.
Of course, it was still necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary, to become the one and only.
However, before that, they decided to join forces against Li Feiyu and the others.
"Act!"
Li Feiyu spoke again.
Han Li raised his hand, condensing an Divine Devilbane Lightning net, and cast it towards the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul showed extreme annoyance towards the Divine Devilbane Lightning, quickly dodged, and then concealed its form, planning to ambush the other Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Devouring their Nascent Souls would allow him to recover quickly.
According to his assessment, Li Feiyu, possessing a Divine Thunder stronger than ordinary Divine Devilbane Lightning, was naturally the most troublesome. He just didn't know if the Divine Thunder in his hand was inexhaustible like the other one.
Next was Wei Wuya, the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator who was using terrifying poison Qi and was in a stalemate with the Ancient Devil's Devil Body.
Then came Han Li. Although Han Li's cultivation was average, he had many methods, and his Divine Ability was not to be underestimated.
As for the rest, he didn't even bother to look at them.
If not for Han Li and Li Feiyu being able to see through his stealth technique, it wouldn't be long before someone among the Nascent Soul Cultivators present would die by his hand.
After the Ancient Devil's Devil Body unleashed its Demonic Technique, it revealed a terrifying two-headed, four-armed form, and its strength greatly increased. However, it had been severely wounded by Li Feiyu's Divine Devilbane Lightning earlier, and its strength was somewhat diminished.
Han Li, facing him, dared not approach easily, relying on his Gold Devouring Bugs and Puppets to block, and then released his Heavenly Absolute Devil Corpse to ambush, successfully injuring it again.
Whenever it tried to force its way closer to Han Li, Ancestor Linghu and Qing Yun would assist, and Han Li would also release Divine Devilbane Lightning to force it back.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul was gradually weakened, which infuriated it, causing it to let out an angry roar.
On Li Feiyu's side, Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Sun True Fire were used alternately.
Dark green Divine Thunder and golden, scorching flames fell from above the purple-black abnormal light, consuming a large amount of Devilish Qi.
Seeing this, Wei Wuya also sharply increased the power of his poison Qi, sending several green poisonous snakes into the Devilish Qi.
The black demonic flames suddenly surged, expanding to several hundred feet in an instant.
Ancient Devils, who lived in the extremely cruel Demon Realm, were extremely experienced in combat. They naturally saw Wei Wuya's objective and erupted together, giving him no opportunity.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul condensed more than ten clusters of black-red flames in its hands, throwing them at all the Cultivators, and then its figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Facing these black-red demonic flames, which were not large but extremely fast, no one dared to underestimate them. Han Li, in particular, knew their power well.
Ordinary Demonic Technique demonic flames would dissipate upon contact with Divine Devilbane Lightning, but these could cancel it out, showing their power.
Seeing the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul disappear, Han Li immediately felt uneasy. While shooting Divine Devilbane Lightning from his hand, he shouted, "Fellow Daoists, be careful! The Devil Soul wants to ambush!"
Everyone's hearts tightened. Their Divine Sense swept the surroundings, but they found no trace of the Devil Soul, making their scalps tingle.
But the demonic flames were already upon them, so they could only focus on resisting and remain vigilant to prevent a successful ambush.
After neutralizing the black-red demonic flames, Han Li immediately activated his Aura Divine Ability to observe his surroundings.
But it was still too late.
Celestial Crystal Master and the others had never witnessed the Devil Soul's Divine Ability, so how could they know its power?
It appeared silently behind Celestial Crystal Master, and one arm directly pierced through his Dantian, disemboweling him.
Celestial Crystal Master at this moment almost had his soul fly out, but in an instant, his Nascent Soul fortunately escaped, not being caught on the spot.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul smiled coldly, opened its mouth, and spat out a purple light. After the purple light hit Celestial Crystal Master's Nascent Soul, it directly swept it back, swallowed it whole, and chewed a few times.
Cheng Tiankun, Ancestor Linghu, and the others all broke out in cold sweat, their hearts trembling.
Han Li frowned deeply.
He was still too careless!
He glanced at Li Feiyu's side, his brows furrowing even more.
He also knew some of Li Feiyu's methods. While the Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Sun True Fire were indeed powerful, they were a bit weak when used against the Ancient Devil's Devil Body.
It was estimated that he couldn't even contend with an ordinary Great Cultivator.
At this moment, Wei Wuya was still at a disadvantage, being suppressed, even though he was using all his strength.
Han Li felt that Li Feiyu was being a bit too playful.
"What exactly is Senior Brother Li planning?"
Qing Yun condensed thousands of crystal-clear, chilling ice cones in front of her, shooting them towards the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul grinned, its eyes blazing with fierce light that made people's hearts tremble.
It raised its hand and unleashed demonic flames; the terrifying demonic flames instantly vaporized all the ice cones, and then its figure disappeared again.
Han Li immediately opened his Aura, and a faint golden light lit up in his palm. A thumb-thick Divine Devilbane Lightning immediately shot out, exploding somewhere in the air.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul appeared, its face filled with annoyance.
"When the Devil Soul disappears, Fellow Daoists can stand back to back in pairs to guard against sneak attacks."
Listening to Han Li's words, the remaining four people all moved closer to each other in pairs.
"Yin Devil Slash!"
Han Li condensed a dark demonic light, shaped like a blade, and slashed it towards the Devil Soul.
As he attacked, the other Nascent Soul Cultivators also attacked together. Even with the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul's agile movements, it was hit by several attacks.
With the strength of its Devil Body, it wouldn't be severely wounded, but it was still left disheveled and continuously suffered minor injuries.
Han Li's eyes flickered for a moment, and after much hesitation, he unleashed his trump card—a half-finished Great Geng Sword Formation.
Trapped by the sword formation, the Ancient Devil's Devil Soul's expression slightly changed.
The others, however, showed joy on their faces, and Cheng Tiankun was even more pleasantly surprised, never expecting his Junior Brother to possess such a great Divine Ability.
Within the grand formation, countless golden threads, shimmering with an eerie golden light, appeared all around.
They were irregular, appearing and disappearing, but all converged towards the center.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul roared, slashing out several blood-colored blade lights towards Han Li.
But to its shock, when the blood lights met the golden threads, they were instantly cut into several pieces, turning into specks of light and dissipating in the air.
Both heads of the Devil Soul showed a solemn expression.
At this point, the others could no longer intervene. Rashly entering the grand formation would also put their lives in danger.
The Devil Soul continuously used several escape techniques, either transforming into black Qi or becoming black threads, but without exception, all were blocked by the golden threads.
This was only a half-finished Great Geng Sword Formation. If it were complete, its power would definitely be even more terrifying.
Han Li's resolve to quickly find other Geng Metal and complete the Great Geng Sword Formation as soon as possible was strengthened.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Soul completely understood the terror of this sword formation. Even its Devil Body couldn't withstand it. Its two heads simultaneously let out violent roars.
At the same moment, the Ancient Devil's Devil Body within the purple-black abnormal light echoed, also letting out a long howl.
A huge cluster of black demonic flames flew towards the sword formation.
They wanted to attack from both inside and outside to break the sword formation.
Han Li's expression changed. This Great Geng Sword Formation was, after all, only a half-finished product, and he didn't know if it could withstand it.
Li Feiyu's lips curved upward, vaguely feeling that the time had come.
A golden Divine Devilbane Lightning, as thick as a man, was instantly unleashed by him, directly striking the demonic flames flying towards the sword formation.
The demonic flames immediately dissipated without a trace.
Afterward, he used the same method to directly attack the Ancient Devil's Devil Body.
At this moment, for some reason, its eyes had already opened, completely taken over by the Second Primordial Spirit within.
Rumble ~
The golden Divine Thunder fell, and the purple-black abnormal light immediately dissipated by more than half, which made the Ancient Devil's Devil Body feel immense pressure.
"Haha, Brother Li, you've finally shown your strength!"
Wei Wuya was overjoyed and also repeatedly activated his poison Qi, launching a fierce attack.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Body escaped at the critical moment, but still suffered some injuries.
Its expression was solemn. It looked at Wei Wuya, its gaze finally falling on Li Feiyu.
Compared to Wei Wuya's poison Qi, Li Feiyu's golden Divine Devilbane Lightning posed the greatest threat to it, capable of even taking its life.
Li Feiyu extended his palm, and immediately a "Five Fingers Mountain" condensed above the Ancient Devil's Devil Body.
The "Five Fingers Mountain" locked onto it and crashed down with a roar.
The Ancient Devil's Devil Body, relying on the hardness of its Devil Body, wielded its fists, condensing a giant black arm that slammed into the "Five Fingers Mountain."
Li Feiyu formed a hand Seal with one hand, and a five-colored Aura flew onto the "Five Fingers Mountain."
"Five Elements, Suppress the Devil!"
Li Feiyu's voice was extremely cold. The Ancient Devil's Devil Body immediately felt some of its Devilish Qi being suppressed, which made it panic.
In the Human Realm, there were very few methods that could restrain Ancient Devils.
But it never expected that an excessively young Cultivator would successively master two: Divine Devilbane Lightning was one thing, but the other, Five Elements Divine Power, it had never heard of.
Seeing that both Ancient Devils were at a disadvantage, everyone's faces couldn't help but show joy.
But just then, above the Great Geng Sword Formation on Han Li's side, a spatial rift four to five zhang long appeared, from which a large amount of five-colored radiant light gushed out.
The Devil Soul and Han Li had not yet understood what was happening when their bodies were covered by the radiant light and immediately swept towards the rift.
A streak of escape light flew in, like a teleportation, following Han Li and the Devil Soul as they plunged into it.
Everyone present was stunned, even the Ancient Devil's Devil Body.
The accident happened too fast; no one had time to react.
Hehehe ~
The Ancient Devil's laughter rang out, and Wei Wuya looked over with a grim expression.
The two main forces against the Devil Head had disappeared, their fates unknown. Now only they were left. Under Wei Wuya's oppressive gaze, none of them dared to leave without permission.
Fortunately, a moment later, more Nascent Soul Cultivators arrived.
The newcomers were the Grand Elder of the Spirit Control Sect and Mulan Divine Master, among others.
Li Feiyu didn't care about the final fate of the Ancient Devil. His heart was now filled with joy; he was determined to obtain the Spirit Medicine in Lingmiao Garden.
Knowing that some rare Spirit Medicine, once planted, was almost impossible to transplant, he had found a special secret technique that could temporarily control the Spirit Medicine's self-destruction.
Li Feiyu believed that once transplanted to the Void Garden Pearl, with the Spirit Earth and Spiritual Qi concentration there, plus the longevity liquid, they would surely not be so foolish as to seek death.
Isn't it better to live and be harvested by me?
Lingmiao Garden spatial wreckage.
"Senior Brother Li, why did you also follow in?"
Han Li looked at Li Feiyu in front of him and said with a wry smile.
"What kind of relationship do we have? How could I leave you alone?!"
Han Li was quite moved. If it had been anyone else, seeing him swallowed by a spatial rift, they would not have gone to save him.
"Junior Brother Han, this seems to be an ancient medicinal garden."
"Hahahaha ~"
The Devil Soul's loud laughter suddenly rang out. It surveyed its surroundings and excitedly said, "I didn't expect to encounter a spatial wreckage of a Lingmiao Garden. It seems heaven doesn't want to destroy this Venerable One."
Then, with a ferocious expression, it looked at Han Li and Li Feiyu, licking its lips with its long tongue, as if it intended to kill both of them and monopolize this medicinal garden.
However, just as it activated its Demonic Technique, unleashing monstrous Devilish Qi...
Silver righteousness descended from the sky!
