Ch 638: Qian Lei Du’e Escapes
Li Hanzhou looked up, suddenly discovering their gazes lacked any warmth, instead icy cold, as if containing profound malice.
“The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit couldn’t have randomly created the Longevity Temple illusion for me. For it to do so, perhaps the entire Longevity Temple was part of its design…”
This time Li Hanzhou closed his mouth, no longer responding.
He suddenly realized he perhaps shouldn’t speak with Yun Qianzhu and the others, because if he did nothing, merely observing coldly, he would remain an outsider, but once he spoke with them, he would be involved.
“Junior Brother, what’s wrong? Is the meal not to your liking?”
“Martial Uncle, my Tai Chi Fist seems to have hit a bottleneck. Could you give me some guidance?”
“…”
Yun Qianzhu and the others surrounding Li Hanzhou spoke again, staring intently at Li Hanzhou.
However, Li Hanzhou remained silent. He discovered that the speed at which his strength was diminishing had slowed slightly, but had not stopped.
Unseen, Li Hanzhou felt a wave of pressure washing over him.
It was like a venomous snake that had never revealed its presence, unseen, yet known to be lurking in some corner, ready to strike at any moment.
“The Illusion Heart Divine Thunder is unlike other Divine Thunders; it doesn’t directly harm the body, but strikes directly at the Divine Soul level…”
Li Hanzhou forcibly calmed his mind, beginning to consider countermeasures.
Since it was an attack targeting the Divine Soul level, he should also defend from the Divine Soul level.
Li Hanzhou silently circulated the Northern Emperor Art, his entire Divine Soul undergoing fluctuations in an instant.
The next moment, the scene before him suddenly changed.
The entire Longevity Temple, and even Yun Qianzhu and the others, gradually dissipated before him, while seemingly endless thunder and rain appeared, bearing down upon him.
As the thunder and rain descended upon him, they seemed to have gained consciousness, fiercely drilling towards his Divine Soul at the center of his brow.
Li Hanzhou’s body trembled violently, his face turning deathly pale.
He instantly felt his Divine Soul as if pierced by countless steel needles.
As he sank his consciousness into his soul, he saw a large mass of lightning light, glittering with brilliant radiance, within his Divine Soul.
“Eh? You’re rather clever, to have noticed this. But it’s too late!”
The mass of lightning light spoke in surprise, and the next moment it erupted with even more intense radiance. Following that, chewing sounds echoed in Li Hanzhou’s ears.
“Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit!”
Li Hanzhou’s heart sank, and at this point he understood what was happening.
The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit, specifically within the Longevity Temple, a place he was most familiar with, had conjured illusions of the people he treasured most in his memories, constantly tugging at his heartstrings, attempting to make him indulge in a world of comfort, then attacking him without warning, devouring his Divine Soul.
Although Li Hanzhou knew this was all false, faced with this incredibly realistic illusion, he still found a way.
In complete silence, the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit directly transformed into rain and thunder, drilling into his Divine Soul, continuously weakening his Divine Soul Power, and seeking to kill him by devouring his soul.
Upon realizing this, Li Hanzhou’s Divine Soul immediately counterattacked, a long sword flashing with fluorescence taking shape, striking directly at the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit.
“Useless. Your Divine Soul is already quite weakened. Any resistance is futile!”
The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit scoffed.
As it spoke, countless Illusion Heart Divine Thunders erupted, effortlessly destroying the long sword.
Li Hanzhou remained silent, frantically circulating the Northern Emperor Art, using his Divine Soul Power to combat the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit.
However, before this, his power had been greatly diminished.
Faced with the terrifying Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit, he couldn’t hold on.
Just as he was about to be completely defeated, a brilliant radiance erupted from Li Hanzhou’s Divine Soul.
“Ah!”
The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit, illuminated by the radiance, let out a scream.
The radiance shone for a moment, then converged upon his Divine Soul, finally condensing into a Nascent Soul, a small figure radiating golden light.
“This is… the Northern Emperor Art!”
Upon seeing the small figure, the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit was momentarily stunned, exclaiming in disbelief: “How can you have the Northern Emperor Art?!”
“Incredible, isn’t it?”
The Divine Soul figure opened its eyes, its aura suddenly growing several times stronger.
It then looked at the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit and reached out towards it.
“Die!”
The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit roared, a large amount of Illusion Heart Divine Thunder appearing, striking towards the small figure.
At this moment, it sensed an unprecedented and intense danger. It no longer cared for the delicious Divine Soul, instead aiming to completely annihilate Li Hanzhou’s Divine Soul.
However, the seemingly terrifying Illusion Heart Divine Thunder was effortlessly extinguished with a wave of the Divine Soul figure’s hand.
Finally, the Divine Soul figure grabbed the Illusion Heart Divine Thunder, its palm tightening slightly, about to kill it.
At this time, the Illusion Heart Divine Thunder was no longer arrogant, its tone filled with terror: “Please spare me! I know I was wrong. I will never forget this great kindness for all eternity!”
Hearing this, Li Hanzhou remained silent, his palm tightening further.
How could he possibly spare something that sought to devour his soul?
“Ah!”
A terrifying force struck, the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit feeling its consciousness dissipating. It immediately realized that simply begging for mercy was useless, and quickly said: “As long as you don’t kill me, anything is fine!”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Li Hanzhou fell silent.
Seeing this, the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit dared not speak again. This was the first time it had fallen into the hands of the Human Race. If it angered the other party, and they decided to kill it completely, it would be terrible.
It had undergone countless epochs, gradually developing its own consciousness, and it wanted to live no matter what.
After a moment of silence, Li Hanzhou said: “Then you shall serve me from now on.”
The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit was indeed incredibly terrifying. If it weren’t for the fact that his Divine Soul had condensed into a Nascent Soul at the critical moment, he would have already died at the other party’s hands.
But as the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit had said, keeping it alive to serve him would be a powerful asset.
“Thank you, my lord, for sparing my life!”
The Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit’s desire to live was at its peak, quickly expressing its thanks.
Li Hanzhou let go of the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit, then formed hand seals.
Chains of golden light appeared from nothingness, directly binding the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit.
Keeping it was keeping it, but the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit was extremely treacherous and cunning. Who knew what kind of schemes it might have?
It was best to imprison it.
Faced with these suddenly appearing chains, the Illusion Heart Thunder Spirit’s body surged with thunder, but eventually fell silent, not putting up any resistance, allowing the chains to bind it.
“It’s finally over.”
At the same time, the Li Hanzhou in the outside world opened his eyes. After all this, he could finally leave this place.
However, before he could move, the Thousand Thunder Tribulation flew out from his Storage Bag on its own, uncontrollably flying towards another direction.
