Han Li gritted his teeth and roared abruptly.

A flash of spiritual light appeared above his head, and a golden nascent soul suddenly emerged from the crown of his head. Its small face was tense, and it rubbed its hands together. With a flash of golden light in its eyes, it plunged back into the crown of his head.

In the next moment, Han Li felt waves of coolness spreading in his sea of ​​consciousness, slightly diluting the burning sensation in his soul.

However, the scorching aura transmitted by the green flames came wave after wave, and the momentum became more and more fierce. Even with the full power of the Soul Refining Art, it seemed impossible to alleviate it.

Han Li closed his eyes and frantically urged the Soul Refining Art. At the same time, a layer of translucent True Extreme Membrane emerged on his body surface, resisting the invisible force that was constantly squeezing from all directions.

Even so, his body still began to tremble non-stop, and cracking sounds came from within, as if the bones of his entire body were about to be crushed.

Time passed little by little. After an unknown amount of time, Han Li's body shook violently, and a look of ferocity flashed across his face.

At this moment, the scorching aura in his sea of ​​consciousness had accumulated to a terrifying level. His entire soul seemed to be rolling and fluctuating like flames, as if it were burning, and slowly began to shrink.

His consciousness gradually became blurred, as if he was slowly detaching from his body.

Just at this moment, his soul suddenly trembled, and a broken sound rang out from the depths of his soul, as if something had been shattered.

Buzz!

A speck of crystalline light suddenly lit up in a certain part of his sea of ​​consciousness, and an invisible suction force emerged from it.

The scorching aura that filled his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have found an outlet, and it frantically surged towards this speck of crystalline light, forming a scorching vortex.

In just a few breaths, the scorching sensation in his mind completely subsided, quickly turning into a stream of coolness that wandered through his mind. The ferocious look on Han Li's face completely faded away.

Immediately afterwards, his soul boomed as if it had exploded, and his soul power rapidly increased, instantly reaching a new level.

A full quarter of an hour later, the changes in his mind slowly subsided, and everything returned to calm.

Han Li slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness fully recovered, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, his divine sense power had greatly increased, almost two or three times what it was before, and it had become more pure, as if countless crystal clear springs were surging and flowing in his mind, emitting powerful divine sense fluctuations.

What he never expected was that on the verge of his soul collapsing, the final bottleneck of the fourth layer of the Soul Refining Art had been broken through.

Perhaps, the reason why the Soul Refining Art was previously difficult to break through that layer of shackles was because his divine sense power was too strong among his peers, and he usually couldn't encounter this kind of situation that brought his soul to the verge of its limit.

This time, he was being chased by a powerful enemy whose cultivation realm far exceeded his own. Helplessly, he made a desperate decision to descend into this mysterious pit of evil aura in order to break through his cultivation, but he accidentally completed the Soul Refining Art, which could be described as a blessing in disguise.

As thoughts flashed through Han Li's mind, he glanced around and let out a long roar, and the crystalline light at the center of his brow radiated brightly.

Streams of dazzling crystalline light shot out, like sharp swords cutting towards the surroundings.

Within the blood-colored space.

A series of dazzling crystalline lights suddenly bloomed within the green giant mouse. The next moment, its huge body exploded with a "bang," turning into wisps of green light that shot away in all directions.

Han Li's figure appeared in mid-air, having transformed back into human form.

The sun-like dazzling crystalline light radiated from his body, shining on the surrounding blood-colored space.

He made a hand seal, and the dazzling crystalline light immediately condensed, transforming into a giant crystalline light sword, and slashed through the air!

With a loud "boom"!

The blood-colored space immediately burst open.

Han Li's vision blurred, and in the next moment, he returned to the dark abyss.

He took a light breath and glanced around a few times, then his body swayed and landed on an overhanging cliff not far away, and sat down cross-legged.

Han Li's divine sense power had greatly increased at this moment, and the surrounding whistling dense Yin wind and evil aura could no longer affect him.

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the vast and pure divine sense power in his mind.

The great accomplishment of the fourth layer of the Soul Refining Art had such a great improvement to his soul. It was worth his hard work in cultivation over the years.

After a moment, Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, and the crystalline light at the center of his brow flashed.

A clear and bright crystalline sword shadow shot out, flashed into the black mist and disappeared, rushing towards the high altitude of the abyss.

Above the clouds in the high altitude of the abyss, an eagle-shaped cyan flying bird in the True Immortal realm was flapping its wings and flying past.

The void in front of it flickered, and a crystalline sword shadow shot over, flashing into the cyan giant eagle's head.

The cyan giant eagle let out a miserable cry. The sharp look in the eagle's eyes quickly dimmed, and in the blink of an eye, it became completely gray.

The aura on the giant eagle also disappeared without a trace, and its corpse rolled and fell downwards, and with a "thud," it just happened to fall into the forest sea transformed by the tree demon.

The originally quiet vines and branches in the forest sea suddenly woke up. Branches intertwined rapidly, covering the cyan giant eagle's corpse, and soon strange sounds of "smack, smack" came from inside.

Within the abyss, a hint of joy appeared in Han Li's eyes.

With the great increase in his soul power, the power of the Mind Sword Incantation had also suddenly increased several times, making it even more useful for dealing with the Taiyi Gold Devouring Immortal.

He then tried several other kinds of soul attacks, and their power was also greatly increased.

Han Li then closed his eyes again, and the crystalline light at the center of his brow flashed again.

After a moment, several crystal clear chains shot out from the center of his brow, quickly intertwined together, and turned into a square chain cage.

The chain cage was engraved with faint black runes, and the dazzling crystalline light emitted was mixed with specks of black light. The crystalline light and black light intertwined together, giving people a strange feeling.

Han Li looked at the chain cage suspended in mid-air, and suddenly flicked his finger.

The light emitted by the cage suddenly brightened, and in an instant, it decomposed back into several crystalline chains, and then disappeared into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Deep within the forest outside the abyss, stood a lush green giant tree, hundreds of feet tall, with extremely dense branches and leaves. Both the trunk and the branches and leaves were a crisp jade color, and on the main trunk of the giant tree, a huge face emerged.

At this moment, the giant face's eyes were tightly closed, and it was snoring with its mouth half-open, as if it were sleeping.

Just at this moment, the void near the giant tree fluctuated, and several crystalline chains emerged, flashing into the giant tree's body.

The emerald green giant tree suddenly opened its eyes, roared in shock and anger, and its entire body radiated a bright green light. Several thick branches danced wildly like arms.

A vast pressure erupted from the giant tree, reaching the Taiyi realm.

Streams of thick green light shot out from the giant tree's branches like meteors, landing in the nearby mountains.

Rumble!

The nearby peaks and ground immediately collapsed like paper when they came into contact with the green light. The ground within a radius of hundreds of miles immediately shook violently, and billowing smoke and dust rose everywhere.

But the next moment, the giant tree's dancing branches suddenly stopped, and the expression on its face also instantly solidified, as if it had been cast with a body-fixing spell.

However, the dazzling green light on its surface and the rolling aura still remained.

Within a green space deep within the giant tree, this place was filled with a dense green mist, and in the center of the mist was suspended a green soul in the shape of a treant.

However, at this moment, the treant's green light was imprisoned inside a cage formed by crystalline chains. A layer of crystalline light emerged on the cage, isolating the green soul from the outside sea of ​​mist.

The green soul struggled desperately within the chain cage, transforming into various forms, even expanding and contracting in size, desperately impacting the cage.

But no matter how it struggled, the crystalline cage remained as stable as a mountain.

The chain cage imprisoned the treant's soul for a moment, and suddenly disintegrated again, turning into several crystalline chains and disappearing into the void.

The emerald green giant tree's body immediately returned to its original state, and its eyes showed a dazed look, looking around in confusion. The wildly dancing branches also slowly stopped.

……

Deep within the pit of evil aura.

The void next to Han Li flickered, and the several crystalline chains emerged, quickly plunging into his mind.

His face was a little pale at the moment, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The chain cage just now was a secret technique that could only be used after the fourth layer of the Soul Refining Art was completed, called "Divine Sense Imprisonment." It could imprison the enemy's soul and temporarily strip it of its connection to the body.

The power of this technique was extremely powerful. Although the Taiyi realm tree demon just now was unprepared and its soul was imprisoned by surprise attack, the power of this technique was still evident.

Han Li's chest rose and fell slightly. As he regulated his breathing with a series of shallow and deep breaths, the pale color on his face slowly returned, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Although this technique was powerful, it also consumed a lot of divine sense power. He had only used the Divine Sense Imprisonment for a moment just now, but the vast divine sense in his mind had been reduced to only 30% at this moment, and it would take at least a month to recover.

However, compared to the powerful power of this technique, this consumption was only a small matter.

Han Li sat quietly for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out a black jade slip, and his divine sense plunged into it.

The jade slip recorded rows of small characters, which were the incantations for the fifth layer of the Soul Refining Art.

The power of the Soul Refining Art exceeded Han Li's expectations. He had come to this place originally intending to use the dense evil aura here to open up immortal apertures and improve his cultivation.

But at this moment, it seemed that cultivating the Soul Refining Art was a better choice.

Moreover, the special environment here could quickly improve the Soul Refining Art.

Han Li read the fifth layer Soul Refining Art incantation from beginning to end, but his brows furrowed slightly.

The content of the fifth layer of the Soul Refining Art was much more profound than the fourth layer. The words contained deep meaning, and it was not easy to comprehend it clearly.

However, he had seen countless profound cultivation techniques, and he also knew the incantations of the first four layers of the Soul Refining Art. Although the fifth layer incantation was profound, it was in the same vein as the previous four layers. As long as he took the time to slowly comprehend it, it should not be a problem.

After calming his mind, he once again immersed his divine sense in the jade slip, carefully studying each word and sentence.
