Instantly, violent and murderous thoughts filled Han Li's mind.

His eyes flickered with crimson light, and the scenery before him blurred, replaced by a blood-colored world. He had once again fallen into an illusion.

He was surrounded by a sea of blood, where countless skeletal remains and corpses of demonic beasts were submerged. The air was thick with a pungent, nauseating stench of blood.

Han Li bit his tongue sharply, instantly regaining some clarity. He activated the Refining Spirit Art to protect his mind as much as possible, while scanning his surroundings with his azure-glowing eyes, his pupils contracting slightly.

The previous illusions, although capable of disturbing his mind, were still within his tolerance. As long as he activated the Refining Spirit Art, he could break free.

But this time was different. He seemed to have completely fallen into it, and escaping would likely be difficult.

Waves of deathly, bloody aura washed over him. Although Han Li tried his best to control his mind, he still felt his blood faintly boiling, and a surge of furious flames erupted in his chest. With nowhere to vent, he almost wanted to tear his chest open to release the pent-up feeling.

"Not good!"

He had experienced this situation once before, back in the Black Wind Sea, when the Refining Spirit Art had suddenly backfired. However, after he began practicing the fourth layer of the Refining Spirit Art, this backlash had been temporarily suppressed and should not erupt again in the short term.

Could it be that this illusion had prematurely triggered the hidden dangers of the Refining Spirit Art within him?

With this thought, Han Li hurriedly activated the Refining Spirit Art with all his might, and a wave of coolness washed over his mind, slowly extinguishing the flames of anger in his chest.

His mind raced as he pondered how to break this illusion.

Just then, a rustling sound came!

Han Li turned his head and frowned.

The sea of blood on the ground was churning and flowing, and the skeletal remains of a dozen-foot-long demonic wolf not far from him slowly stood up from the blood. Two faint red lights appeared in its eyes, and it lunged at him with a roar.

Han Li flicked his finger, and a beam of azure light shot out, splitting the demonic wolf's skeletal remains in two.

Rustle!

The blood flowed, and two more demonic beast corpses stood up and pounced.

Han Li waved his hand, and a beam of azure light swept out, slaying the two demonic beast corpses again.

However, before the two corpses could fall, the sea of blood churned violently in all directions, and even more corpses came flying.

Han Li waved his hands, launching attacks to fend off the surrounding demonic beast corpses.

Although these corpses were not very powerful at first, their numbers grew exponentially. Among them were many powerful beings, True Immortal demonic beast corpses, and even Golden Immortal demonic beast corpses began to appear.

Han Li had now transformed into a Mountain Giant Ape, his giant fists gleaming with golden light, forming two cyclones. Wherever they passed, the corpses shattered.

But these corpses only increased the more they were killed, and eventually, they surrounded him in layers.

The sound of rushing wind rose sharply, and a hundred-foot-long, thick, emerald-green beast tail bone suddenly emerged from the blood-colored sea below, sweeping towards him.

Han Li was busy defending against attacks from other directions and only had time to throw a punch at the beast tail bone.

A golden fist projection shot out and collided with the beast tail bone, creating a loud sound.

The golden fist projection shattered like an egg.

The beast tail bone didn't stop at all. After a blur, it appeared beside Han Li and struck him in the waist like a meteor.

Han Li's body shook violently, and he was knocked away like a piece of straw, crashing into the surrounding demonic beast corpses.

The nearby corpses roared excitedly and swarmed up like a tide, engulfing his body and tearing at his flesh.

The Mountain Giant Ape's original indestructible defense suddenly became extremely fragile, easily torn open by the countless surrounding corpses. Almost in the blink of an eye, most of the flesh on the giant ape's body was devoured, revealing the bones beneath.

Han Li was furious. Golden light shone brightly from his arms, and he suddenly swept them around his body.

An irresistible force erupted from the golden light, and the air exploded with a loud bang, shaking the void wildly.

Rumble!

The nearby corpses were all blasted away.

A flash of golden light, the golden giant ape shot into the high air, temporarily avoiding the attacks of the surrounding demonic beast corpses.

Han Li looked at his broken body, and the furious expression on his face slowly faded away.

Half of his body was gone, but he did not feel seriously injured. Golden light flashed on his body, and the damaged body instantly recovered.

"That's right, how did I forget? I am in an illusion..." Han Li realized that he had been impatient and almost taken the bait.

The main reason was that the hidden dangers of the Refining Spirit Art had erupted prematurely, making him feel uneasy, and he had become hot-headed for a moment.

Everything before him was not real, but an illusion. If he was confused by its surface appearance, he would never find a way to escape.

"Roar!"

As he pondered, the demonic beast skeletons below roared greedily and pounced again.

Han Li took a long breath and suddenly closed his eyes. He activated the Refining Spirit Art with all his might, ignoring the demonic beast corpses rushing from all directions.

A speck of crystal light appeared on his forehead and quickly grew larger and brighter, as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at.

The several demonic beast corpses rushing in front, no more than a zhang away from Han Li, were illuminated by the crystal light and immediately let out shrill screams. In the blink of an eye, they turned to ashes, turning into clusters of gray powder that scattered in the wind.

The other demonic beast corpses that were illuminated by the crystal light also screamed miserably, dodging and fleeing into the sea of blood, never daring to show their faces again.

In the blink of an eye, not a single skeleton could be seen in the blood-colored space. Only a calm sea of blood gently rippled.

Han Li ignored the corpses and suddenly opened his eyes. Golden light shone in his eyes, and he quickly scanned his surroundings, shouting softly.

The crystal light on his forehead shone brightly again, and a thick crystal ray shot out, condensing into a giant hundred-zhang-long crystal blade, which slashed into the void.

Chi la!

Wherever the giant crystal blade passed, the blood-red space rippled like water, but it immediately returned to its original state.

Although he failed to break through the space, Han Li felt slightly relieved. The crystal light on his forehead shone brightly again, and he was about to take action.

Just then, the sea of blood below churned violently, making a huge gurgling sound.

A huge body slowly emerged from the sea of blood, a mountain-sized emerald green corpse.

This corpse was actually an incredibly huge green rat, with most of its body still covered in a layer of rotting flesh, not completely turned into bones. Two red-green flames burned in its eye sockets, giving it an extremely eerie feeling, and it dragged a hundred-zhang-long, thick, emerald-green beast tail behind it.

An immense aura emanated from the green giant rat, causing the nearby void to tremble constantly and make creaking noises, as if it could not withstand the immense pressure and was about to shatter.

Han Li's pupils shrank.

The aura emanating from this giant rat was far above that of the Taiyi Gold Devouring Immortal. The powerful beings he had seen before... perhaps... perhaps only the big-eared monk he saw when traveling through time could compare to it.

His mind raced, but he did not panic.

Although this green giant rat was powerful, it was only an illusion.

Moreover, when he saw the rat's tail, he immediately understood that the huge bone tail that had knocked him away earlier was this giant rat's.

Just then, the green giant rat's eyes lit up, and its huge body immediately turned into a green shadow, pouncing over aggressively.

Han Li formed hand seals, and the crystal light on his forehead shone brightly. A thick beam of light sprayed out from it, directly hitting the green giant rat's head.

But the green giant rat suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the thick beam of light in one gulp. At the same time, its figure flickered and appeared in front of Han Li, its speed unabated.

Its huge body was like an immense meteorite, crashing into Han Li.

The crystal light on Han Li's forehead shone brightly again, and with a flash, it condensed into a huge crystal shield, blocking in front of him.

Amidst a series of crackling sounds, the huge crystal shield burst open.

The next moment, an immense force easily shattered the shield and directly acted on Han Li's body.

With a "whoosh", Han Li was knocked away, flying for dozens of miles before barely regaining his balance.

But before he could counterattack, a long green shadow shot over and pierced through Han Li's body with a "puff". It was shot from the giant rat's mouth, like a tongue, but it was wrapped in a layer of faint green flames.

Han Li suddenly felt a burning pain in his mind, as if his entire soul had been pierced by flames. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but he forcibly endured the pain. His two hands grabbed out, slowly but surely, and grabbed the green tongue, intending to tear it apart.

But at that moment, the green tongue wrapped around Han Li's hands like a snake, binding them together. Then, it wrapped around his body with incredible speed, tying him into a green rice dumpling.

The green giant rat opened its bloody mouth and sucked.

A terrifying devouring force suddenly erupted, enveloping Han Li's body, and the green tongue pulled back sharply.

With a "whoosh", Han Li shot back and flew into the giant rat's mouth.

Han Li only felt a blur before his eyes. The next moment, he found himself in a dark space, surrounded by rotten, purplish-black flesh that constantly oozed foul-smelling, sticky water, emitting a putrid odor that made him want to vomit.

Waves of invisible force pressed in from all directions, and the green tongue binding his body did not loosen.

Han Li felt disgusted and struggled a few times, but he could not break free. His heart sank.

But then, his eyebrows suddenly twitched. He stopped struggling and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, green light flashed around him, and clusters of green flames appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint glow. They landed on Han Li's body and burned fiercely.

Waves of extremely hot air passed out from the green flames and merged into Han Li's soul.

Han Li's soul suddenly felt hot, as if it was placed on a fire rack and licked by fierce flames. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
