Han Li had just entered the purple lightning pool when the purple arcs of electricity within immediately surged towards him like sharks smelling blood, coalescing into a spiraling lightning pillar around his body.

A deafening roar erupted!

Thick bolts of purple lightning shot out, lashing against his entire body, triggering a series of alarming explosions.

In an instant, Han Li's skin turned blood red, lacerated by the strikes, causing blood to gush out in a horrifying display.

Even more, the moment the purple lightning touched him, his brow turned pitch black, his mind reeling as a wave of murderous intent arose, and his eyes instantly turned crimson.

Powerful waves of baleful aura erupted from him.

The Affliction of the Astral Fiend, which he had just forcefully suppressed, erupted once again.

Seeing Han Li's miserable state, Hu San's eyes flashed with lingering fear, and he grinned, secretly glad he hadn't gone down.

The Tihun, who was casting a spell in the distance, also looked towards Han Li, a hint of concern in her eyes.

For a moment, various colors of light flickered around Han Li, and the phantom images of the Mountain Giant Ape, Five-Colored Phoenix, and Five-Colored Peacock reappeared, appearing even clearer than before.

This lightning pool possessed both destructive and regenerative power, and his various True Spirit bloodlines had been subtly strengthened after being baptized by the azure lightning pool.

However, the power of these True Spirit bloodlines was not necessarily a good thing for Han Li, as currents of different bloodlines surged violently within him, increasing the burden on his physical body.

Han Li took a deep breath, his face showing no sign of panic.

Having experienced the azure lightning pool, he had gained experience in dealing with various internal situations.

After calming himself, he immediately activated the Refining Spirit Art, and streams of vast spiritual power flowed, resisting the murderous thoughts in his mind and firmly guarding his mind. At the same time, he activated the Grand Stellar Primordial Art to protect his internal organs and other vital areas, allowing the power of the purple lightning to flow through his body.

Waves of violent lightning invaded his body, eroding it while also dispelling the baleful aura contained within him. Black gas began to rise from his body's surface, dissipating into the surrounding lightning.

His Immortal Apertures were filled with purple lightning, and the stubborn baleful aura within them began to slowly leak out.

As the baleful aura within Han Li was washed away, the murderous thoughts in his mind gradually subsided, and his eyes slowly regained clarity.

This process was clearly more painful than the previous azure lightning pool, but he clenched his teeth and endured wave after wave of excruciating pain.

Time passed, and a stick of incense had burned away.

At this time, almost no part of Han Li's skin was intact. Large and small wounds covered his entire body, making him look like a tattered sack.

However, his eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was calm, as if he didn't feel anything. Large amounts of black baleful aura continued to pour out from his body.

Suddenly, the surging baleful aura paused and slowed down.

Han Li frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and then soared upwards.

"Chi la!"

The surrounding purple lightning immediately followed, forming a purple lightning net that covered his body.

Han Li snorted coldly, and the Mantra Wheel within his body spun rapidly. He once again used the divine ability of Reversal Mantra Wheel, transforming into a golden shadow that soared into the sky.

However, the surrounding purple lightning net was exceptionally tough, far surpassing the previous azure lightning pool. When he charged, he failed to break through.

The purple lightning pool seemed to feel provoked, and suddenly it brightened. The pool water near Han Li exploded, and seven or eight purple arcs of lightning, as thick as bowls, shot out from the bottom of the pool.

These purple arcs of lightning were completely different from the other lightning in the pool, giving a crystal-clear and dazzling feeling. Countless rice-grain-sized lightning runes flickered around the arcs, emitting an astonishing power of lightning law, like seven or eight purple electric snakes, biting at Han Li's body.

Han Li's heart tightened, and golden light burst from his body. The Mantra Wheel appeared behind him, spinning rapidly, and countless golden ripples poured out, instantly shrouding a dozen feet around him.

The purple arcs of lightning were covered by the golden ripples and immediately stopped.

However, the power contained in these purple arcs of lightning was exceptionally strong, causing the entire golden ripple area to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Han Li immediately raised his hand and waved.

A cluster of emerald green light flew out from his sleeve and hovered in the air above his head, spinning continuously. It was the Profound Sky Gourd.

He pinched his fingers with both hands and pointed, and the emerald green light around the Profound Sky Gourd surged, and large swaths of emerald green light poured out, wrapping the purple arcs of lightning.

The purple arcs of lightning were enveloped by the emerald green light and quickly dimmed, shrinking rapidly.

"Receive!"

Han Li changed the magic formula in his hand again, and the emerald green light wrapped around the purple arcs of lightning rolled back, and disappeared into the Profound Sky Gourd in a flash.

Part of the purple lightning net around him was also collected by the Profound Sky Gourd, and his body immediately lightened. With a "whoosh," he soared into the sky, breaking free from the purple lightning net, and landed near the lightning pool.

Han Li waved his fingers and introduced the Mantra Wheel into his body, and the golden ripples around him also disappeared.

The purple lightning net flickered a few times, unable to find its target, and after a few roaring thunderclaps, it slowly sank into the lightning pool.

After freeing himself, Han Li immediately flipped his hand and took out a few restorative pills and swallowed them.

As currents of pure energy surged from his body, countless tiny buds grew wildly at the wounds, and the wounds of all sizes quickly merged, and his complexion improved slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how are you? Although the Old Ancestor is still able to hold on with the help of Fellow Daoist Tihun, it is definitely not a long-term solution. Once others come here, we will surely die. Only by cutting off the remaining three lightning chains to help him escape can we be foolproof." Seeing this, Hu San hurriedly transmitted his voice.

"Okay, I will recover a little first after Fellow Daoist Shi comes out." Han Li nodded and looked towards the purple lightning pool.

At this time, Shi Chuankong was still immersed in the purple lightning water, surrounded by lightning. Deep wounds were cracked on his skin, and in some places, even the white bones could be seen.

The blood in his eyes flickered, and his brow was pitch black. The Affliction of the Astral Fiend, which he had delayed for many years with secret techniques, erupted again.

Although his face was full of pain and his whole body was constantly trembling, he was also very tenacious. He gritted his teeth and endured the impact of the purple lightning on his body and consciousness.

As currents of black gas poured out from his body and quickly dissipated, the blood in his eyes gradually receded, and the blackness between his brows began to fade. A trace of crystal light appeared on his skin, as if it had become jade.

Han Li's brow moved slightly, knowing that the baleful aura in Shi Chuankong's body was not as strong as his own. The purple lightning pool had almost completely dispelled the baleful aura in his body. If this continued, Shi Chuankong would likely overcome the Affliction of the Astral Fiend and achieve the Half-Step Grand Luo.

However, at that moment, the black gas emerging from Shi Chuankong's body suddenly began to weaken, and the crystal light on his skin flickered and disappeared quickly.

Seeing this, Han Li sighed inwardly.

It seemed that, like himself, this second pool could not help him completely overcome the Affliction of the Astral Fiend.

Shi Chuankong suddenly opened his eyes and shot out of the lightning pool.

"Rumble!" With a burst of thunder, the surrounding purple arcs of lightning immediately followed, forming a purple lightning net.

Shi Chuankong's expression froze, and silver light flourished on his body, which then condensed into a huge silver lotus around him, spinning rapidly.

The silver petals spat out silver light, like sharp sword energy, slashing on the purple lightning net.

With a series of "beng" and "beng" crisp sounds, the purple lightning net trembled and was immediately cut out of a gap.

Seeing this, Shi Chuankong twisted his body and shot out of the gap, landing on the edge of the lightning pool.

His body was already badly damaged, and now that he had used secret techniques, he aggravated his injuries even more. He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shi Chuankong didn't bother to say much to Han Li and the other two. He immediately took out a medicine bottle and poured all the pills inside into his mouth, then immediately sat down cross-legged.

A layer of purplish-black light appeared on his body, and the wounds healed quickly.

"It's dangerous, it's a pity that it's a little bit close." After a while, Shi Chuankong breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Han Li and the other two, and smiled bitterly.

"It is not easy to withstand the baptism of two pools to remove the baleful aura. Fortunately, I don't need to suffer this crime. Are you okay now?" Hu San shook his head and said.

"It's okay." Shi Chuankong turned his head to look at Han Li.

"Two, prepare to start."

As Han Li spoke, his figure shook, and he flew to the side of the silver lightning pool. With a wave of his hand, golden electric light flashed beside him, and the figure of Crab Daoren also emerged.

"Fellow Daoist Crab, help me." Han Li said.

Crab Daoren nodded in agreement.

Han Li took a deep breath, grasped the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade tightly with both hands, and golden light flourished on his body. Immortal spiritual power surged out of his body and was injected into the long blade.

The red light flashed on the blade, and all the patterns began to bloom. A strong bloody baleful aura spread from the blade.

Hu San, Shi Chuankong, and Crab Daoren simultaneously raised their palms and pushed out into the void. Immortal spiritual power also spurted out of their bodies and was injected into Han Li's body.

The immortal spiritual power of the four people merged into one and flowed into the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade.

"Buzz..."

The Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade shone brightly and vibrated violently, and the aura released from it rose steadily.

Layers of blood-red blade shadows emerged, overlapping as if there were thousands of layers.

"Senior Shi, help me!" Han Li's eyes narrowed, he transmitted his voice loudly, and then slashed down with the blade.

The fox head on the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade shone brightly, and a huge blood-colored fox shadow suddenly appeared, pouncing downwards and merging into the blade.

The immortal spiritual power in the bodies of Han Li and the other three surged out like a flood that had burst its banks, and was devoured by the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade.

The others had experience before, so they were not surprised.

The countless blood-colored blade shadows nearby gathered like birds returning to their nests, and merged into the blade.

The Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade suddenly grew larger and changed into a crystal-clear color, slashing on the purple chain.

The purple chain vibrated violently, and the purple light of the runes engraved on it skyrocketed, like a blazing sun exploding!

"Rumble!"

The purple lightning pool suddenly exploded, and all the lightning surged up, turning into a huge spherical electric light that shot towards the Old Ancestor Liu Qi along the chain.

However, just as the spherical electric light reached the halfway point, the purple chain made a roaring sound, and the blood-colored blade light flashed, and the purple chain snapped open.

The spherical electric light suddenly stopped, and then burst open, spreading around.

Han Li's body trembled, and a flash of light appeared on his skin, and a layer of purple lightning halo appeared.

However, this layer of purple halo only flashed and then disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

His body also recovered, his eyebrows raised, but a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

With a "bang," the broken purple chain fell and sank into the lightning pool.
