Han Li seemed to have anticipated the giant ape puppet's attack. The Mysterious Apertures on his legs flashed, and his figure immediately moved half a zhang to the side, dodging the battering ram-like blow.

At the same time, a flash of white light appeared, and a snow-bright blade flashed like lightning, streaking across the giant ape's neck.

With a "chi" sound!

A huge monkey head flew into the sky, and the giant ape puppet's body crashed downward.

Although Han Li killed the giant ape puppet in one fell swoop, he had no time to dodge and was immediately hit by several long arrows and a huge rock.

Several loud bangs echoed in succession, shattering the arrows and stones. The True Essence Membrane around Han Li's body trembled, and starlight flickered wildly.

The arrows were nothing, but the giant rock contained extremely strong power, which penetrated the True Essence Membrane and surged into Han Li's body, stirring up his blood and Qi, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

But now was not the time to worry about that. He took a deep breath and used the force to propel himself forward.

Looking at the endless ruins below and the endless stream of puppets, Han Li felt a sense of despair in his heart.

Although his physical strength was not weak, after such a long battle, he was gradually reaching the end of his rope. All around him were still endless puppets. If he could not escape, he was afraid that he would fall here today.

"Fellow Daoist Li, put me down and go. You should be able to leave here alone," Shi Chuankong suddenly said.

Han Li didn't say anything, wielding his scimitar with all his might to block the surrounding arrows.

The rain of arrows had barely passed when, with a whoosh, puppet figures shot up from the ground like lightning, continuing to pounce on the two of them.

There was no trace of fear on Han Li's face as he plunged straight into the puppet swarm, fighting fiercely.

Although the starlight on his body was not as bright as before, his movements were still extremely agile, like a fish darting through the puppet swarm. As snow-bright blades flashed, puppets would fall from the sky from time to time.

After this half-day of fighting, he had become more and more adept at dealing with the puppets' attacks.

Han Li moved, dodging an attack from a tiger-beast puppet. He waved his arm, and the snow-bright scimitar in his hand slashed across the puppet's neck, decapitating it.

But at that moment, a blue shadow flashed in front of him, and two thick wolf-fang clubs shot out from the gap in the puppet swarm ten zhang in front of Han Li. They reached Han Li in an instant and then swept towards Han Li's waist from left and right with incredible speed.

At the same time, two giant ape puppets leaped out from the puppet swarm behind him, their giant clubs whistling as they struck the back of his head.

The four giant ape puppets coordinated extremely well, and the four giant clubs surrounded Han Li from all directions, instantly blocking all escape routes.

Han Li's expression turned cold, and with a movement of his arm, it turned into a phantom. Countless white blade lights burst forth from his hand, slashing towards the four giant clubs.

"Bang," "Bang," the loud noises echoed incessantly. The four giant clubs were knocked back, and the four puppets were sent flying.

Han Li's body also shook violently, and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. The starlight on his body was disordered for a while, and his body seemed to be about to fall from the air.

But at this moment, the blood-colored key in his arms flashed with a blood-colored light, and a blood-colored crystal light gushed out from it, submerging into his body.

As the blood light entered his body, it immediately turned into a scorching hot current, quickly traveling throughout his body and merging into his limbs.

This hot current was somewhat different from the heat previously emitted by the key. It seemed to be the power of blood and Qi, but also like the power of stars, and it was exceptionally vast.

As the hot current passed, the fatigue caused by Han Li's previous battles instantly disappeared, his vitality instantly recovered, the Mysterious Apertures on his body shone brightly, and the True Essence Membrane on his body also returned to its previous state.

He was stunned, and then overjoyed. With a movement of his arm, snow-bright blade lights, several times larger than before, appeared, sweeping towards all the puppets within a dozen zhang around him.

With a "chi-chi" sound, almost all the approaching puppets were easily killed by the blade light, including the four giant ape puppets.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how did you..." Shi Chuankong was shocked to see that Han Li, who had originally shown signs of fatigue, suddenly recovered his supernatural powers in the blink of an eye.

"Let's not talk about that, let's get out of here first," Han Li said, and his figure flew forward.

His vitality was fully restored, and his speed increased greatly.

In the blink of an eye, the two flew forward for another two or three hours.

A fiery red sandy land appeared in front of them, and the ruins stopped abruptly at the edge of the fiery red sandy land.

"Finally, we're here!" Han Li's eyes lit up.

But at that moment, the puppets below let out furious roars and launched frantic attacks.

The snake-headed puppets fired arrows non-stop, covering Han Li and Shi Chuankong with a blanket of arrows. The other puppets were not afraid of being injured by the rain of arrows and leaped up to attack Han Li and Shi Chuankong.

Han Li let out a long roar, and the starlight on his body shone brightly. His figure suddenly turned into a white phantom, flying and fighting in the puppet army. No matter how frantically the surrounding puppet army attacked and blocked him, they could not stop him.

Soon, with a "whoosh" sound, Han Li and Shi Chuankong flew out from the countless puppets and entered the fiery red sandy land.

For some reason, the puppets seemed afraid to step into the fiery red sandy land. They stopped at the edge of the sandy land, roaring at Han Li and Shi Chuankong until their figures disappeared into the distant horizon, and then slowly dispersed.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong flew into the fiery red sandy land and flew forward for the time it takes to eat a meal. Seeing that the puppet army behind them had not chased after them, they breathed a sigh of relief and flew forward for a while before stopping and landing on the ground.

A scorching hot aura permeated from the ground, causing the nearby air to fluctuate slightly.

Although the temperature of the sandy land was quite high, it had no effect on Han Li and Shi Chuankong.

"It seems that the puppets dare not chase after us. Although this place is hot, the temperature is not too high, so it should not cause too much harm to those puppets. I don't know why they suddenly stopped," Shi Chuankong said, looking towards the ruins with a puzzled expression.

"In my opinion, those puppets are probably not unable, but dare not," Han Li said after a moment of thought.

"Well, that's probably the case," Shi Chuankong recalled the situation of the puppets just now and nodded.

"Let's not talk about this. Just now in the ruins, Fellow Daoist Shi didn't let me touch the yellow clouds in the sky. I wonder why?" Han Li looked up at the sky.

Here, too, a layer of thick yellow clouds floated in the sky, and faint white lights could be seen flashing in the clouds.

"There is a powerful restriction in the clouds. Those who touch it will be attacked by it," Shi Chuankong said, turning his hand and taking out a short knife.

The short knife was snow-white, and countless star runes were engraved on it, flashing gently. It was a half-star artifact that was no less inferior than the scimitar in Han Li's hand.

He waved his hand, and the short knife turned into a white light that shot into the sky, soon touching the yellow clouds and disappearing into them.

The yellow clouds seemed to be stimulated, and after a surge of turbulence, the white lights in the clouds converged towards one place, turning into a thick white lightning bolt in the blink of an eye and striking the short knife.

A thunderous roar echoed!

The short knife shattered instantly and turned into nothing.

The white lightning then quickly dissipated and turned back into countless white lights, disappearing into the yellow clouds.

Han Li was shocked to see this scene.

There was such a terrifying power in the yellow clouds in the sky. He had been quite curious about the yellow clouds in the sky before and had thought about exploring them, but he had not had time to do so because of the situation.

Fortunately, he had not rashly explored it, otherwise, he would have been seriously injured if he had been struck by the white lightning.

"How did Fellow Daoist Shi know about this power in the clouds?" Han Li quickly regained his composure and asked.

"It was mentioned in the information given by Third Brother," Shi Chuankong said with a slightly dimmed expression.

"The Third Prince is exceptionally familiar with the situation in the Great Ruins. Could it be that he has been here before?" Han Li raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know about that," Shi Chuankong was stunned and then shook his head.

Han Li's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he did not ask any more questions.

"This place seems quite safe. Let's take a short rest here and then continue moving forward," Shi Chuankong suggested.

His face was still very pale, revealing a trace of fatigue.

Han Li glanced at Shi Chuankong and nodded.

After this chaotic battle, he was indeed a little tired.

The two explored the surrounding environment and found no danger, so they each took out pills and sat down to rest.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, how is your injury?" Han Li asked.

"It's already fine and doesn't affect my actions. It will only take some time to recover," Shi Chuankong said with a much relaxed expression.

"That's good. If we encounter enemies next, Fellow Daoist Shi doesn't need to take action. Just focus on healing," Han Li nodded.

The two then discussed the next course of action. Neither of them knew anything about this fiery red sandy land and didn't know whether the depths were auspicious or dangerous.

But returning to the ruins was obviously not an option. The two quickly made a decision and continued to move deeper into the fiery red sandy land.

The area of the fiery red sandy land was surprisingly large, completely beyond their expectations. The two traveled all the way for more than two months and still had not reached the end.

Along the way, there was no danger and no treasures were found. Apart from the red sand, there was nothing else.

"I didn't expect there to be such a vast place in the Great Ruins," Han Li ran forward, stirring up a trail of crimson dust behind him.

"Could it be that we're going in the wrong direction and are moving towards the edge of the Great Ruins?" Shi Chuankong followed closely behind Han Li, frowning.

The Great Ruins was filled with a rich star power, which was very beneficial for repairing injuries.

After more than two months, his injuries had completely healed.

"It shouldn't be. I can feel that the star power in the void here is a little richer than before. We should be going deeper into the Great Ruins. Besides, changing direction now may not be the right thing to do. Let's just keep going forward. I don't believe we can't get out of here," Han Li said, looking at the distant sky.

"That's true," Shi Chuankong nodded upon hearing this.

"Huh!"

Han Li let out a soft exclamation, stopped, and looked ahead, his face showing a look of surprise.
