Chapter 575: Unexplained Danger
On the small island, Han Li, surrounded by a silver light shield, tilted his head back and dropped a single drop of spirit medicine into his mouth. Then, looking at the small vial in his hand, he revealed a thoughtful expression.
This was already the fifth drop of spirit medicine he had taken. Outside the light shield, the golden light showed no sign of weakening, but the outermost golden flame had shrunk somewhat compared to when it first appeared. It seemed that after such a prolonged consumption, the opponent was beginning to falter. Surely, after some more time, it would be his chance to break free.
Thinking this through, Han Li’s hand flashed with white light, and with a calm expression, he stored the vial into a storage pouch. At the same time, he looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, his brows involuntarily furrowing.
He had clearly seen the green light pillar and the abnormal changes in the sky just moments ago. That pillar was coming from the direction of the small valley—it seemed to be caused by Yuan Yao's spell. Although he didn’t know the details of what was happening there, judging from the oppressive black clouds overhead, it didn’t seem like the soul restoration technique had been completed.
These thoughts flashed quickly through Han Li’s mind but were swiftly pushed aside. Until he escaped the golden light, he had no time to worry about anything else.
After exhaling gently, the magical treasures within his body began to stir, eager to act. At the same time, the silver wings on his back that had previously vanished gradually reappeared, faint and ethereal.
...
Above the golden flames floated Wen Tianren, his face no longer carrying the pride he had when he trapped Han Li. Instead, it had turned pale, covered by a faint layer of black energy. The golden horn between his brows had shrunk to only about a third of its original size compared to yesterday, now barely an inch long.
This heir of the six paths now looked grim and somewhat terrifying. Inside, he was filled with fear mixed with surprise and anger.
No one knew better than him, the owner of this magical treasure, just how powerful the Golden Radiance Divine Flame truly was.
He had initially boasted that Han Li could only endure the golden flames for about an hour, which was already an exaggeration. In truth, he believed Han Li wouldn’t even last half that time.
Although he had lost some vital energy in the process, the chance to eliminate this dangerous enemy made it worthwhile.
Yet, half an hour passed, and Han Li showed no sign of movement within the golden flames, much to Wen Tianren’s surprise.
One hour later, Han Li’s presence still hadn’t vanished, and shock appeared on Wen Tianren’s face.
Two hours passed, and Han Li's light shield remained intact; Wen Tianren felt that something was very wrong.
He vaguely sensed he might be doing something foolish. Han Li was clearly not afraid to exhaust his magical power against him.
Either Han Li had something on him that could accelerate his magical power recovery, or there was some other secret involved.
As far as Wen Tianren knew, the only thing that could rapidly restore magical power was the rare and precious Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid. Could Han Li really have such a thing?
Wen Tianren quickly pieced together the truth!
But now he was trapped. First, most of his true demon avatars had been destroyed, and then he had no choice but to use the Eight-Gate Golden Light Mirror at great cost. His cultivation base had dropped significantly.
If he released Han Li to fight head-on now, his chances of victory would be slim.
However, Wen Tianren knew very well that no ordinary cultivator would carry much Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid.
So, after a moment of determination, he continued to expend his true energy using the golden flames to refine Han Li.
He was prepared that once this was over, he would have to seclude himself for two or three decades to restore his vital energy. But first, he aimed to use the Golden Radiance Divine Flame to exhaust Han Li’s spirit medicine and reduce him to ashes.
