Chapter 186 The Sacrifice Begins, the Battle of Souls and Bones

"Shall we start now?"

Guangling saw that Han Li was deep in thought, and only asked after he came back to his senses.

"No, we still need to prepare a little more. Tianmeng, you can enjoy your last moments as an Ice Silkworm."

Han Li shook his head, then turned his head and teased Tian Meng.

Tianmeng was taken aback when she heard this, and looked down at her chubby body.

It actually disliked its origins at one point, because its original race was the Ice Silkworm. So even though it was incredibly lucky and became the first million-year-old Soul Beast, its combat power was pitifully weak.

But when it came time to actually give up this identity, it felt a pang of nostalgia.

However, it quickly made up its mind that it would still change its race. But even if it changed its race, it would still be Tianmeng. It would always remember that it was an ice silkworm. It was just trying to survive better.

The matter of Tianmeng was basically agreed upon. Han Li let the three women come out of the stone chamber, while he walked back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and sat down cross-legged on the water.

He has been inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire for a month, during which time the divine realm has been unable to detect his situation.

He needed to speed things up. Although the time flow was different, keeping the screen black on the other side was risky; who knew what they might do?

Ignoring Tianmeng, who was still being watched warily by several people but seemed completely unconcerned about his boasting, Han Li focused his mind on his spiritual space and quickly communicated with the consciousness of the plane about the next steps.

For the next two days, apart from occasionally stepping out of the pool to eat, Han Li seemed to the group of people and the beast to be either frantically cultivating or occasionally sneaking into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, doing something unknown.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Han Li left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and set foot on the ground again.

"nailed it?"

Guangling handed over the food, which could be considered a rhetorical question.

"Okay, we'll start in a bit."

Han Li quickly finished his food and said with satisfaction.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Guangling served him another bowl.

"Once it starts, take them far away. The noise won't be small, so try to block any potential leaks."

Han Li slowed down his eating and looked at his master.

"it is good."

Guangling nodded, then moved closer to him, sealed off the surroundings with her soul power, and after confirming that Tianmeng was still asleep, she lowered her voice and said, "If there are any unexpected events, just give up on it. I'll call your senior uncle later, and we'll help you obtain soul rings from other ferocious beasts."

Upon hearing his master's words, Han Li couldn't help but chuckle. He truly lived up to his master's reputation.

"Don't worry, I'm more afraid of dying than you are."

Guangling laughed when she heard his reply: "Ha, okay, I'll keep watch on the perimeter for you and make sure no one bothers you."

After the others had finished eating breakfast, Han Li repeated the same thing to them.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was happily gulping down its food.

"You stay here and await my signal to perform the sacrifice immediately."

Aside from the sacrifice, Han Li didn't give it any other instructions. He had already prepared his soul power and spiritual power, and didn't need Tianmeng's assistance. There was no other reason than that he didn't trust it for the time being.

Tianmeng nodded, indicating that it understood, but then looked at its own body again and began to eat in small bites.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You can leave for the time being."

Han Li stood up, and Tian Meng followed behind him, heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, while the others got up and walked outside.

After confirming that everyone had emerged from the poisonous miasma through his senses, Han Li sank into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving only the Tianmeng Beast standing blankly by the pool.

Within the realm of ice and fire, Han Li activated his Yin-Yang Domain to envelop himself, continuously descending until he completely merged into the two-colored pool of water.

The pool wasn't very deep; in just over ten seconds, Han Li's feet were already on the bottom, stopping in front of the two massive skeletons.

This wasn't the first time he'd come down, but on previous occasions, he had only observed without getting close enough to touch them, even though both skeletons held a great attraction for him.

With a flash of light, the Ice and Fire Divine Dragon Bow appeared in Han Li's hand.

This time, he did not resist the attraction, but let his martial spirit fly directly to the two skeletons and absorb the aura above them.

As the two began to interact, the Ice and Fire Divine Dragon Bow began to tremble incessantly. At the same time, the water in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well also began to boil, and in an instant, the basin above was filled with mist, completely obscured by a white fog.

Seeing that the two had already connected, Han Li no longer hesitated and went over directly. Different elemental energies emanated from his arms, which he then pressed onto the two skeletons.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

In just a moment, Han Li's body responded, and the excruciating pain made him kneel on the ground.

Not only that, his mental space was also attacked at the same time.

Resentment, hatred, and unwillingness—all sorts of negative emotions constantly assaulted Han Li's mind. Dragon roars rang out repeatedly, shouting for revenge. Under these circumstances, Han Li's will began to falter.

"Since they're already dead, then they should die properly. Dimensional consciousness, gather all your faith power and cleanse them!"

Because of the pain, Han Li's face was contorted, and he even swore, which was rare for him.

In the mental space, Han Li manipulated his mental power, transforming it into a dense rain of arrows to snipe at the chaotic dragon-shaped resentments.

As his shout subsided, a burst of brilliant golden energy erupted from his body, suppressing the gray resentment that enveloped him.

The location of the Ice and Fire Divine Dragon Bow has formed a massive vortex around it, which is devouring the aura from the corpses while drawing energy from the pool water, emitting a dazzling light.

Han Li's arms were no longer on the skeleton, but instead radiated red and white colors, hanging limply at his sides, as if weighing a thousand pounds.

"Get up."

Han Li had somehow transformed into his full form, revealing all his spirit rings and spirit bones.

With his roar, his third soul ring lit up, and the Evil God Hook instantly became straight, stabbing fiercely towards the bottom of the pool. His azure wind and thunder wings also flapped wildly.

Using this power, his body shot upwards like an arrow, and at the same time, the Ice and Fire Dragon Bow, along with the whirlpool, surged towards the surface of the water as he moved.

"boom"

A loud bang erupted from the pool as Han Li and the Ice and Fire Divine Dragon Bow leaped out of the water, followed by a water tornado that seemed to be under his feet, creating a spectacular scene.

Unfortunately, the only spectator present was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery; instead, he was wailing and rolling on the ground.

Tianmeng felt bitter; it never expected that it would suffer further torment even as it was about to be sacrificed.

It was standing peacefully by the pool when Han Li suddenly appeared, and not only that, but he made such a commotion. It was drenched in pool water, though not as intensely as before, but the amount was still considerable.

"Sacrifice".

As Tianmeng writhed on the ground in pain, she heard Han Li's voice.

Tianmeng forced herself to look up despite the pain and saw Han Li staring at her in mid-air with murderous intent. The red light in his right eye was particularly intimidating, as if he would launch an attack if he hesitated any longer.

Tianmeng's body trembled slightly. Not daring to be negligent, she wriggled and immediately mobilized all her energy to begin the sacrificial ritual.

A massive crimson pillar of light shot into the sky, shattering the energy shield surrounding the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and breaking the blockade that the dimensional consciousness had been maintaining over this place.

In that instant, everything in the entire Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire seemed to freeze; the wind stopped, and the leaves floating in mid-air were also locked in mid-air.

The next second, intense energy began to pour back towards Han Li.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body was shrinking rapidly, and three wisps of energy were being extracted from it, passing through the crimson six-pointed star of rules above Han Li's head before entering his body.

Meanwhile, the damage to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm caused by the pool water was rapidly disappearing. This was the power of the rules; the sacrificer would not be harmed during the process, and the damage suffered previously would not be reflected back to the main body.

A gentle force carried the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm into the previously opened stone chamber, along with a snow-white bone that had been forcibly inserted into its body before the sacrifice ended.

Tianmeng fainted instantly, and her bones began to rapidly erode her fragile body.

Outside, above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

As the three wisps of Tianmeng's power entered Han Li's body, his condition finally stabilized temporarily.

Without the slightest resistance, the energy belonging to Tianmeng directly became Han Li's own energy. At this moment, Han Li, with the help of the power of faith protecting the resentment of the broken dragon soul, focused all his energy on controlling the energy within his body.

Under Han Li's guidance, a large amount of soul power and spiritual power continuously poured into his original four external soul bones, rapidly strengthening them and increasing their lifespan.

Seventy thousand years, eighty thousand years, one hundred thousand years.

After the external soul bones collectively broke through to 100,000 years, they vaguely established some kind of connection and began to attack Han Li's 100,000-year-old right leg bone.

After only a brief resistance, the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bone defenses were breached, and a vast amount of energy flowed through the entire soul bone, rapidly transforming it and establishing connections with other soul bones.

Meanwhile, the million-year-old spiritual skull that Tianmeng had contributed had completely merged with Han Li. The original white jade-colored soul bone had been stained light red, becoming the eldest brother of the Soul Bone Alliance.

"Now, it's just you guys left."

A ruthless glint flashed across Han Li's face. Without hesitation, he mobilized all his soul power and spiritual power, ramming them into his arms, carrying all his original energy and residual resentment, and sending them out of his body.

An absurdly large energy ball appeared in front of Han Li, and above the energy ball, the Ice and Fire Divine Dragon Bow floated silently, forcing the energy ball to solidify.

At this moment, a platinum halo quietly appeared above Han Li's head.
