Chapter 846: Battle Again with the Demonic Soul
What’s going on? Under the spiritual eye, the demonic soul’s trace couldn’t be found, causing Han Li’s heart to sink.
But he took a deep breath, forcing down the unease in his heart. Then, the azure light on his body flashed wildly and unpredictably, as his entire spiritual power was mobilized and poured intensely into his eyes.
Instantly, a pair of pupils shone with a bright, crystal-clear blue light, elevating the Mingqing Spiritual Eye to its utmost limit.
This time, after scanning around, Han Li finally noticed something. His expression changed dramatically. Behind him, over a dozen giant turtles’ spiritual lights flickered simultaneously, and suddenly over a thousand ice spikes of uniform size shot out fiercely, enveloping a small area on one side.
Black energy suddenly appeared under the cover of the ice spikes, revealing the demonic soul with two heads and four arms, wearing a look of surprise. Among its three arms, it was holding three treasures: magical flags, a ring, and a small sword. Seeing the sky filled with ice spikes shooting down, the three arms holding the treasures lightly waved.
Black mist surged from a small mirror, sweeping out in a black glow. The small sword was swung several times, releasing sharp, pitch-black sword qi that swept across. As for the ring it had just obtained, no one knew how it knew its purpose, but with a slight shake, countless ring-shaped shadows of various sizes were densely shot out, creating an imposing spectacle.
The seemingly endless ice spikes hadn’t even fallen yet before they were smashed to pieces midair by the power of these magical treasures. The white misty cold instantly spread over more than ten yards nearby, and the temperature abruptly plummeted.
But the demonic soul inside was completely unfazed by this. Instead, it gave a sinister smile, and with a flicker, its form disappeared again in the demonic light.
Han Li’s face darkened a little, and he licked his upper lip with the tip of his tongue.
This ancient demonic soul was truly the trickiest opponent he had faced since stepping into the immortal cultivation world. A careless moment could mean his demise.
At this moment, although he had pushed the Mingqing Spiritual Eye to its extreme, the demonic soul that concealed itself in the demonic light had become extraordinarily blurry. Even when it moved rapidly with flying escape, he couldn’t lock down its exact position. All he could see was a faint shadow flickering here and there.
Only when the demonic soul’s movement slowed or it stopped could he barely keep up with it.
This put Han Li at a disadvantage right away. Using the Mingqing Spiritual Eye to the full extent was too taxing on his eyes and couldn’t be sustained for long. Once the spiritual eye’s power weakened even slightly, he couldn’t see the opponent’s shadow at all.
Han Li naturally felt frustrated. His only countermeasure now was to break the opponent’s concealment within a short time or force the demonic soul to give up hiding. He had to make it believe that hiding in the demonic light was useless against him.
Otherwise, fighting such a ghost-like opponent made Han Li’s heart race with fear.
Thinking this, Han Li’s hands didn’t stop moving. He slapped the spiritual beast pouch at his waist, and a swarm of golddevourer worms buzzed noisily, flooding out of the pouch’s opening.
Han Li didn’t command the insect cloud to attack anything. Instead, with a low hum, the swarm suddenly burst apart into countless golden flowers that scattered in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, within more than twenty yards around Han Li, golden light shimmered everywhere, marking the traces of the golddevourer worms.
This meant that even if Han Li couldn’t use the spiritual eye to track the demonic soul, once the demon entered the swarm’s range, it would immediately be sensed—no need to fear a sudden sneak attack.
Just as the insect swarm was laid down, a cold snort echoed not far away.
