Chapter 760: The Great Battle Approaches

As soon as the flood dragon soul merged into the spiritual hide, Han Li flipped his palm without hesitation, and a bluish spiritual talisman brush appeared in his hand. It was six to seven inches long, delicate and exquisite.

With his other hand, he beckoned toward a green jade box with its lid open. A golden liquid floated out lightly from the box.

Han Li quickly dipped the talisman brush into the golden liquid. His expression immediately grew serious as he aimed at the floating spiritual hide. The brush began to move with extreme skill, painting in midair.

One after another, incomprehensible golden runes poured out from the brush tip, streaking forward and vanishing into the blood-red spiritual hide.

Then, symbols of various sizes appeared on the hide’s surface, shining with golden light, neatly arranged as if engraved.

The moment these runes appeared, the spiritual hide trembled violently. The roar of a dragon suddenly echoed from it. The blood-red flood dragon soul burst out fiercely from the hide, as if trying to escape.

But at that instant, the golden runes on the hide blazed brightly, twisting and coming alive, tightly binding the flood dragon soul and forcefully pulling it back.

Though lacking intelligence, the flood dragon soul, as the vital essence of a celestial spiritual beast, instinctively sensed danger and struggled frantically against the golden runes, trying to break free.

At this moment, Han Li’s brushwork sped up, as golden runes of various sizes directly enveloped the flood dragon soul. After a moment, it was completely trapped and gradually pulled back into the spiritual hide.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Han Li paused his hand, then switched to a purple liquid, dipping the brush and calmly painting strange ancient symbols resembling spiritual runes, flicking them outward one by one.

In this manner, every so often Han Li changed to a cinnabar-like spiritual liquid. Various symbols and intricate patterns appeared on the spiritual hide one after another.

Before long, the palm-sized piece of spiritual beast hide was densely covered with multicolored gleams, exuding vibrant spiritual energy.

Han Li’s expression grew increasingly solemn, and his painting slowed. His eyes flashed with blue light, pushing the power of the Ming-Qing spiritual eye to its limit.

Just as a red rune finished and flew into the spiritual hide, an abnormal fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the half-completed spiritual talisman, growing increasingly violent.

Han Li’s face changed drastically, and he cursed inwardly. Without hesitation, he swept his wide sleeve over the ground. A wave of azure mist flew out, instantly gathering all materials. At the same time, his other hand sliced through the void before him, and a small blue shield shot out from his sleeve, instantly expanding and blocking in front of him.

Just as Han Li finished these moves, the colored spiritual hide exploded with a deafening dragon roar.

Five-colored light orbs dazzled brightly, and fierce spiritual energy surged outward like a giant wave crashing into the blue shield.

The shield trembled slightly, then stood firm without budging.

Han Li was taken aback, quite surprised.

According to the tremendous power of the spiritual summoning talisman, such a failed talisman explosion should have caused considerable destruction. But it was blocked so easily—this was far from what he had expected.

As Han Li's heart wavered, a blood-colored light shot out from the light orbs, flashing past the chamber’s ceiling, attempting to escape.

But the moment the blood light touched the roof, a white light veil suddenly appeared without warning, reflecting the blood light back and revealing its form.

It was the blood-colored little flood dragon—the poisonous flood dragon’s vital essence.

Han Li was initially stunned, then overjoyed.

Without a second thought, he raised one hand and grabbed into the void. A large azure hand suddenly appeared above the flood dragon soul, quickly grabbing it and shooting downward.
