Just as Gongshu Hong's aura was unstable due to the destruction of his Earth God Incarnation, a violent roar came from below. What followed was a huge white sound wave. It was like a raging wave crashing against the shore.
It was the "Vajra Roar" that Han Li had transformed into!
Wherever the white sound wave passed, the void became blurry and distorted. It was as if the entire space was about to collapse.
The blood-red cauldron floating in the air shook violently under the impact of the sound wave. It shook for a long time. Even the ripples of the power of laws emitted from it showed signs of disorder.
At this moment, a violent dragon roar came from the blood-red cauldron!
Then, with a rumble, the red light above the cauldron trembled and exploded. It turned into a large amount of blood mist. Then, a long flaming dragon more than thirty meters long rose from the blood mist. It twisted its body in the air and dived towards Gongshu Hong.
"How dare you destroy my Earth God Incarnation and destroy my cultivation foundation. I want all of you to die with me …" Gongshu Hong roared angrily. Then, a crazed expression appeared on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood light around him shone brightly. His body quickly swelled up like a bubble. A terrifying aura of destruction came from within.
When Han Li saw this, a serious expression appeared in his eyes. His body immediately returned to human form. He waved his hand and put away the Essence Flame Firebird.
When the fire dragon that Jiao San had transformed into saw this, it turned around and circled around Gongshu Hong.
The scales on its body shone brightly. Endless scarlet flames surged out and immediately enveloped the blood lake. Then, fiery red lotuses appeared in the air and bloomed.
A scorching wave of the power of laws instantly spread out. It was as if an independent world had been created in this underground cave.
"Spirit Domain!"
When Han Li felt the changes in his surroundings, his eyes immediately lit up.
At this moment, a beam of light as bright as the sun burst out from the underground cavern. Gongshu Hong's body, which had grown dozens of times larger, melted like bloody snow in this light.
"Rumble …"
Waves of violent explosions resounded incessantly, and the entire island in the center of the blood lake collapsed inch by inch. It was instantly swallowed by the light, and it directly transformed into dust that dissipated into nothingness.
Violent waves of Qi spread out in all directions, creating circles of violent shock waves. It shook the entire cave to the point that the rocks shattered and collapsed one after another, and a large amount of lake water began to pour in from all directions.
Above the cave, the lifeless Scarlet Moon City completely collapsed with a rumbling sound, turning into a pile of ruins.
At this moment, within the cave, there was an area shrouded in green light that was completely undamaged.
Eight huge diamond-shaped turtle shells floated above that area. When they connected with each other, they turned into an oval, dark green screen of light. It did not move even a single inch in the violent tremors.
Inside the light screen, Han Li, who had activated the Black Tortoise's bloodline, was wearing a dark green armor with a python entrenched on it. He was looking around calmly.
In the surrounding space, the scorching aura did not diminish at all. The flaming red lotuses that were blooming all over the place continued to emit waves of strange aura that were counteracting the violent energy.
Not far away, Jiao San had already transformed into his human form and was sitting on a huge flaming red lotus. His body was shrouded in a layer of golden-red light, and his robes were fluttering in the wind. His hands were constantly forming hand seals, and his expression was solemn as he activated his Spirit Domain with all his might.
After about fifteen minutes, the tremors in the cave slowly calmed down. More than half of the flaming red lotuses had disappeared, and Jiao San's Spirit Domain had also slowly dissipated.
As the last flaming lotus in the air dissipated, Jiao San descended from the sky with a slightly tired expression.
Seeing this, Han Li immediately put away the turtle shells around him. He cupped his hands towards Jiao San and said, "Congratulations Lord Jiao San for successfully killing the Scarlet Moon Island Lord, Gongshu Hong."
"Jiao Fifteen, half of the credit goes to you for killing this demon." Hearing this, Jiao San looked deeply at Han Li and said.
At this moment, his eyes no longer had the indifference that he had when they first met. Instead, there was a hint of admiration that he did not try to hide.
"Lord Jiao San, you are too kind. I only did a little, and I do not dare to take credit for what I did." Han Li heard this and smiled.
"There is no need to be modest.
The Impermanence Alliance has always respected strength. If one's strength isn't enough and they covet unrealistic benefits, then even if they die, they can't blame others. Do you understand? "Jiao San waved his hand and spoke with a profound meaning.
"I will remember your teachings. I understand." Han Li replied respectfully.
"Very good!
I can recommend you to become a member of a higher rank, are you willing? "Jiao San nodded and said.
"Is there anything special about becoming a member of a higher rank?
If I need to carry out a more difficult task, I will not dare to agree. "Han Li was slightly startled, but he said calmly.
"Let's not talk about other things for now. If you successfully become a member of a higher rank, you will be able to issue normal tasks and exchange resources with other members of the same rank." Jiao San explained.
"If that is the case, then I will have to trouble you." Han Li was overjoyed and cupped his hands in thanks.
"Although I have the right to recommend you, the alliance will send a special envoy to see if you can succeed. You will also need to complete a trial task.
I believe that with your strength, you should be able to succeed. "Jiao San added.
Han Li didn't offer any further words of thanks. Instead, he merely extended a slight bow.
"Alright.
Since this matter is over, I will need to stay on the island for a few more days to finish up some work.
The Red Moon Island has been passed down for a long time and has accumulated a lot of wealth.
You can go and search for it, but remember not to stay for too long. "Jiao San continued.
Han Li nodded and bid farewell. His body flashed as he left.
After 15 minutes, a ray of green light emerged from the ground near the Kun Province's Red Moon City. It disappeared in mid-air and Han Li's figure appeared.
Looking at the ruined city below, he could not help but sigh.
Seven people entered the city together, but now he was the only one left. The danger of the Impermanence Alliance's mission was evident.
Although Gongshu Hong had sacrificed billions of lives and four Itinerant Immortals, who had followed him for a long time, for the sake of his cultivation, he could be said to be vicious and merciless. However, as the leader of this mission, Jiao San, was also someone who would do anything to achieve his goals.
However, Gongshu Hong was right. The path of cultivation was filled with dangers and there was no such thing as a smooth road. One should have realized this the moment one stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World.
With that in mind, Han Li shook his head.
After determining the direction, he turned into a ray of green light and flew into the distance. He did not stay there for a moment, nor did he search for the so-called resources of the Red Moon Island.
He had already put away Jiao Ba's storage magic tool. Together with the things he had obtained earlier, he had gained quite a lot.
As for the most important resources on the island, they belonged to Gongshu Hong. Now, they were in Jiao San's hands. There were still some in other places, but they were just scraps. He didn't want to waste too much effort on these things.
Two months later.
A ray of green light appeared near Wu Meng Island. Han Li's figure appeared in a flash.
Han Li smiled as he looked at the island in front of him.
Although he had experienced many twists and turns, he had returned safely. He had also achieved his goal.
A streak of light shot out from the island and flew over, revealing Luo Feng's figure.
"Senior Liu!" Luo Feng was happy.
News of Han Li's departure had only been made known to him. During these past few days, he had been waiting day and night, fearing that something might have happened to Han Li and that he would never return. Now that he saw Han Li return safely, he finally felt at ease.
"Did anything happen while I was away?" Han Li nodded at Luo Feng and asked.
"Thanks to you, everything is fine on the island," Luo Feng said quickly.
Han Li nodded and flew towards his small courtyard. Luo Feng followed behind him and reported back the information that had occurred in the nearby seas in the past few days.
One of them was the island where Lu Kun was. He seemed to be in seclusion.
Han Li was surprised, but he did not say anything.
At the last moment, Lu Kun fell into the lake with the head of the Earth God. He did not show up until the end. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
However, according to the situation, even if he was not dead, his vitality would be greatly damaged.
With that thought, Han Li sent Luo Feng away and returned to his room in the courtyard. He laid down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, he woke up in high spirits and took out a pile of things.
There was a storage device, several Spiritual Treasures, and a broken Earth God Incarnation. It was Jiao Ba's.
He first looked at Jiao Ba's broken incarnation and found that most of the materials were similar to Roman's. The only difference was that many rare materials of the wind attribute were used.
Although the materials that were integrated into the incarnation could not be recycled, he could study them in the future. It would be beneficial to him when he condensed his own incarnation.
With that in mind, Han Li stowed his clone away before picking up the spirit treasures to examine.
Aside from Jiao Sixteen's black iron awl, which seemed to be a low-grade Celestial Artifact, there was nothing special about the other treasures. But for some reason, although the black iron awl looked fine on the outside, it seemed to be severely damaged on the inside. A trace of the power of laws within it was slowly dissipating.
At this rate, it would completely dissipate in a few hundred years.
No wonder Jiao Sixteen's power was average when he used this treasure.
As a result, he lost interest in it. He looked at the remaining treasures and put them away.
After all, he did not need these things in his current situation.
Finally, Han Li picked up the storage devices and probed them with his Divine Sense.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and a hint of joy flashed in them.
The treasures of these Perfected Immortals did not disappoint him. There were many materials, far more than what Wu Meng Island had.
He didn't even recognize many of them, but he knew they were all precious items.
With these things, he didn't need to worry about resources at this stage.
He took a deep breath, and after sorting the things, he waved his hand and took out a jade slip.
