Chapter 586: Averting a Crisis

A resounding boom rang out as the bolt of golden lightning exploded violently upon making contact with the green shadow. The entire surrounding area was instantly illuminated a bright golden color, while the nearby space shuddered violently.

The green shadow that had shot out of the rat carcass's mouth was also sent flying back by over 100 feet.

However, it remained completely unscathed, and after steadying itself, it launched itself at Han Li once again, this time even faster than before.

Han Li immediately let loose a loud roar as he summoned his Mantra Treasured Axis, which began releasing countless waves of golden ripples around him.

Everything in the surrounding area instantly fell still, including the churning baleful qi and the trembling space, and at this point, the green shadow was only about 10 feet away from Han Li.

A faint sheen of cold sweat had appeared on his head, and he heaved a faint sigh of relief.

The green shadow was extraordinarily fast, and if it weren't for his lightning-fast reactions and his time law powers, it would've definitely already pierced into his body.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then began to inspect the green shadow with a hint of intrigue in his eyes.

Right at this moment, the green shadow suddenly trembled slightly, then released a burst of bright green light that stained the surrounding golden ripples green as well.

Han Li was very alarmed to see this, yet before he had a chance to do anything, a burst of formidable law powers suddenly erupted out of the green shadow.

A green line then shot out of the green shadow, hurtling directly toward Han Li at a terrifying speed, and it was slicing straight through the golden ripples in its path.

However, slicing through the golden rippled was clearly very arduous for the green line, as evidenced by the fact that the light emanating from it was rapidly dimming, but in the end, it was still able to reach Han Li.

All of a sudden, the green shadow trembled once again before abruptly becoming extremely thin, resembling a sheet of green paper, and it also flew toward Han Li behind the green line, covering a distance of around 10 feet in the blink of an eye.

Before Han Li had a chance to react, the green shadow had already vanished into his body, immediately following which it transformed into a burst of tremendous baleful qi that spread rapidly throughout his entire body.

As the baleful qi flowed through Han Li's body, all of his meridians instantly became numb and as cold as ice, rendering him completely immobilized and unable to muster up any immortal spiritual power.

The golden light radiating from his body rapidly faded away, as did the surrounding golden ripples, and he found himself completely enveloped within a layer of faint green light.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, giving him no time to react.

His heart immediately sank, but he remained calm as his mind began racing to find a way out of this predicament.

Right at this moment, a burst of sinister cackling suddenly rang out within his mind, and a glowing green rat suddenly appeared in his consciousness, then immediately pounced at his nascent soul.

The golden nascent soul's eyes sprang open, and a furious look appeared on its face as it rubbed its hands together before thrusting them forward, instantly releasing a translucent sword projection to strike the green rat.

Even though Han Li's immortal spiritual power had become completely stagnant, his spiritual sense remained uninhibited, and the green rat was instantly sliced into two.

However, the green rat was completely unfazed, and it wasn't even slowed down in the slightest as it continued to pounce at Han Li's nascent soul, this time as two balls of green light.

The nascent soul's brows furrowed tightly upon seeing this, and it raised its hands again to release a pair of translucent chains, which ensnared the two balls of green light in the blink of an eye, but didn't constrict any further for fear of splitting the green rat's body up into additional segments.

The two balls of green light immediately began to struggle frantically within the translucent chains, and even though they weren't very bright, they were imbued with immense spiritual power.

As time passed, Han Li's Profound Baleful Spirit Arts began to operate in overdrive, and all of the baleful qi released by the green shadow was quickly integrated into his own baleful qi.

At this point, the green rat in the Spiritual Sense Cage had shrunk down to nothing more than a tiny speck, and with one final screech of despair, it disintegrated into nothingness.

Han Li was quite relieved to see this, and he withdrew his Spiritual Sense Cage.

With all of the extraneous baleful qi absorbed, he was able to regain control over his own body, but the Profound Baleful Spirit Arts were still completely out of his control, continuing to rapidly channel the surrounding baleful qi toward his immortal acupoints.

Two dull thumps rang out in rapid succession as two more immortal acupoints were opened.

Han Li shuddered as the crimson coloration of his complexion deepened even further. A trail of blood began to trickle down from the corner of his lips, which his chest heaved violently, and his aura was becoming very erratic.

He hurriedly channeled his immortal spiritual power to protect his own body and meridians, but he ultimately decided not to attempt to arrest the frenzied operation of the Profound Baleful Spirit Arts.

After what seemed like an eternity, the density of the baleful qi around Han Li had reached a terrifying level, and it looked as if there were balls of black flames dancing all over his body.

His face had turned such a dark shade of crimson that it was virtually black, and blood continued to flow down from the corners of his lips, but his eyes were filled with elation.

At this point, 106 immortal acupoints had already been opened in his body, yet the Profound Baleful Spirit Arts was still operating in overdrive, frantically devouring the surrounding baleful qi.

A dull thump rang out within Han Li's body as yet another immortal acupoint was opened, and he shuddered as he involuntarily threw up a mouthful of blood, but the elation in his eyes only became more pronounced.

With 107 immortal acupoints opened, he had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Stage, and just a single step further would take him to the High Zenith Stage.

Right at this moment, all 107 of the immortal acupoints suddenly began to tremble in unison as if they were resonating with one another, and the surrounding world's origin qi began to surge rapidly into them.

Upon entering Han Li's body, the world's origin qi was converted into bursts of pure immortal spiritual power that flowed through his meridians like a turbulent river.

It seemed that the Profound Baleful Spirit Arts had finally run its course, and it slowly ceased its operation before stopping entirely.

Han Li slumped to the ground in an utterly exhausted fashion, looking as if he didn't have a single ounce of strength left in his body.

After laying still for a while, he summoned a restorative pill before devouring it, then sat up straight and closed his eyes to meditate.

A long while later, he opened his eyes, and the crimson coloration of his complexion had largely faded, clearly indicating that he had mostly recovered from his injuries.

After taking a deep breath, he rose to his feet, and as he felt the immense immortal spiritual powers coursing through his body, he couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement.

The sequence of events that had unfolded just now had been extremely perilous. It seemed that there had been a residual soul fragment left in the giant rat carcass, or perhaps the skeleton had developed its own sentient will over the course of countless years. In any case, it had attempted to use its vast baleful qi to infiltrate Han Li's spiritual sense.

In the face of such an enormous influx of baleful qi, he had been completely immobilized, and even if the average High Zenith cultivator had been in his place, their soul would've been destroyed long ago, forcing them to surrender their body to the green rat.

It was only thanks to the combination of his Profound Baleful Spirit Arts and his tremendous spiritual sense that Han Li was just barely able to weather the storm, and he had reaped some significant rewards during the process.

With 107 immortal acupoints opened, he was now only a single step away from reaching the High Zenith Stage.

However, the obvious downside to all of this was that there was now an enormous amount of baleful qi deposited in his body, and that was rather concerning to him.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
