I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 444: Chapter 343: The Fire Stealer

Han Zhan’s method was simple.

Since only when the spiritual consciousness was polluted to a certain degree could one see the monsters that condensed from the pollution.

Then, wouldn’t it suffice for Han Zhan to let his spiritual consciousness be polluted?

Li Lingzhen understood Han Zhan’s intention, and she hesitated.

If possible, she really didn’t want Han Zhan to take this risk.

The other two were strangers, merely natives of the Fruit World, having nothing to do with her.

It may sound ruthless, but that was her most genuine thought.

However, when these thoughts came from her mouth, they all converged into a single sentence: ”Ah Zhan, you make the decision. I support your choice!”

No time to delay.

Having made up his mind, Han Zhan immediately took action.

The Fu Xi Zither appeared in his hands, and the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array was no longer played. The zither tune switched to ”Joyful Wind.”

The zither melody of Joyful Wind was lighter; more and more wind arose from all directions, gathering before him!

The clouds followed the wind; the thick mist of the Blood Sea was wrapped by the wind, all surging towards Han Zhan’s face.

Han Zhan used this method to accelerate his spiritual pollution process.

And he actually did it.

Under the encirclement of Joyful Wind, more and more thick mist was absorbed. In Han Zhan’s vision, the giant black centipede, as described by Li Wu, indeed appeared.

At this moment, it was moving as if on flat ground over the Blood Sea, approaching in this direction.

Its mouthparts accumulating red glow, as if ready to release all its energy in the next second, aiming to pierce the target ahead once again.

Li Wu was restricted by the terrain, plus the opponent’s peculiar means, could exert no more than half of his strength.

Only with the aid of Li Lingzhen’s Creation of Living Beings ability from the Shennong Cauldron did he barely hold onto his life.

”You go help Li Heng, leave this to me.”

Han Zhan didn’t explain much to Li Wu; the two had already changed positions while speaking.

Retreating to the back, Li Wu, gasping for breath, nodded and grasped his Beheading Great Saber, hurrying toward Li Heng.

Here, the energy-loaded blow finally erupted from the mouth of the giant black centipede facing Han Zhan.

Without any redundant movements.

In an instant, a hundred light walls appeared in front of Han Zhan, standing between him and the polluted beast.

The fiercely charging red energy beam pierced effortlessly through the first light wall, followed by the second, then the third...

When it broke through the thirtieth light wall, its speed began to slow.

By the sixtieth, the red energy beam had dwindled from the thickness of an adult’s arm down to that of a pinky.

Ultimately, when it attempted to break through the eighty-second light wall, it was completely halted and vanished.

”Blocked it!”

”Watch out for those black legs!” Li Wu’s voice rang in his ears once more.

Failing one strike, the giant black centipede’s slender and long limbs began darting rapidly over the ocean surface, reaching Han Zhan almost in the blink of an eye.

The pitch-black forelimbs stretched towards Han Zhan.

The speed was too fast.

Even his eyes and dynamic vision couldn’t react.

Its forelimbs transformed into a sharp black ”blade,” set to stab fiercely into Han Zhan’s body.

Just like before, when it shredded Li Wu’s abdomen!

Finished. Li Wu caught a glimpse of this scene amidst his battle, his heart sinking.

Even someone like him, who practiced Body Tempering daily, combined with the Demon God Bloodline of the Jiuli race, couldn’t withstand this sinister centipede’s attack. How could Han Zhan possibly block it?

At that moment, a scene left Li Wu dumbfounded.

The centipede’s foreleg, which should have pierced effortlessly through Han Zhan’s abdomen, was blocked outside, unable to advance further!

Not only was Li Wu astonished, but the purely polluted, giant black centipede also emitted a sharp, hoarse roar.

”Surprised?”

Han Zhan glanced at the centipede’s foreleg that failed to pierce his abdomen.

The pitch-black foreleg, akin to a sharp refined dagger, along with its lightning-fast speed, was indeed a blow ordinary people could not withstand.

But he was different.

The five Great Ruins of Taixu Return Collection continuously tempered within his body, and the body strength washed five times by the Bodhi Treasure Tree could only be described as terrifying.

Han Zhan not only blocked this fatal blow but also, in the shortest time, swiftly plucked the strings of the Fu Xi Zither.

A Qi Blade, blazing with scorching flames, retorted back towards the opponent at an equally fast pace!

In a flash, the giant black centipede’s foreleg was severed; originally sporting four long legs, it was now left with three.

Not giving this monstrosity of pure pollution much time to react.

Han Zhan, relentless in securing his advantage, under one strike that cut off its leg, allowed the Nuwa Stone to shine, manifesting a longsword identical to the Xuanyuan Sword.

He extended his hand to grip the sword hilt suspended in midair, and his aura instantly underwent another abrupt change.

This time, it was the monster’s turn to lose sight of Han Zhan’s actions.

Seizing the sword, Han Zhan’s figure vanished from his original spot, wielding the Dao of the Sword honed to utmost perfection, wielded at will!

Swish, swish, swish!

The brilliant sword light, exuding a cold glint, successively sliced off all four legs of the giant black centipede.

After completing this, Han Zhan had no time to rest; his technique on the Fu Xi Zither changed again, the zither melody suddenly becoming extraordinarily high-pitched.

Each zither sound resembled the thunderous peal of impending lightning from the skies above, brewing in advance.

Six Ding Thunder!

Pure pollution, as a type of spiritual contamination, was naturally countered by the Six Ding Thunder, its destructive power more than doubled.

Since the cleansing of the Bodhi Treasure Tree, Han Zhan’s comprehension not only enhanced but his understanding of integrating the techniques among various ancient divine weapons also deepened considerably.

This maneuver of Six Ding Thunder caught the abyssal maw in the Blood Sea off guard.

Six Dharma Aspect phantoms materialized in the sky.

Nourished by the endless Spiritual Power from the Great Ruins within, these newly solidified Dharma Aspect phantoms surpassed in solidity any of their earlier manifestations.

They leaned forward, emanating deep blue lightning from their hands.

The overwhelming lightning, akin to countless gushing Thunder Juice, cascaded down from the nine heavens, pouring entirely into the abyssal maw within the sea.

Moments later, the abyssal maw transformed into a charred abyss, floating in the Blood Sea, dead beyond measure.

With Han Zhan’s intervention, the perilous pure pollution was instantly resolved, making both Li Wu and Li Heng of the Jiuli race involuntarily glance over, their spirits shaken.

What shocked them even more was,

Han Zhan’s Blood Embryo had also acquired some blackness!

Incredibly, he chose to pollute himself, all for rescuing two people he barely cares for!
