Li Xianyu seemed to be asking someone else, or perhaps talking to himself, "This kind of pure physique! It's practically comparable to a Body Saint Master who specializes in body refinement."
"Or is it a dual cultivation of spirit and body? How troublesome! Saint Masters who cultivate the body are the hardest to kill, while Saint Masters who cultivate the spirit are the hardest to tempt into corruption. Doesn't this mean that both my primary and secondary objectives for coming here will be difficult to achieve?"
Li Xianyu's voice was calm and slow. His hand, which was holding the giant spider, suddenly twisted and turned into countless thin threads, all of which intertwined and wrapped around the giant spider's body. "You're recovering too slowly. You'll be my food for now."
The seven-colored giant spider let out a sharp, mournful cry, its body gradually shrunken until only an empty shell remained.
Li Xianyu's body returned to normal within a few breaths.
He stretched and laughed, "That feels much better."
------------
Chapter 57: Say the harshest words, suffer the most brutal beatings.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
The tentacle spiders and numerous other strange creatures that had previously fought the cultivator team all prostrated themselves on the ground, as if on a pilgrimage. The cultivator team remained silent, feeling an oppressive pressure that was almost suffocating them.
Lei Qianjue suddenly spoke, his voice trembling slightly. "It's the fallen Evil Saint Lord."
Li Huo silently landed beside him, his face expressionless, but he stared intently at Li Xianyu. "Yes...it seems to be the Holy Lord of the Four Eight Holy Lands of Haibei."
"Ten years ago, the sky in Haibei shook. Mr. Li Xianyu, the Holy Master of the Four Eight Holy Lands, led a group of Holy Land disciples to try to plug the rift in the sky caused by the shaking... The Holy Land was wiped out. The Holy Master also disappeared."
"I never expected... that one would actually fall into becoming the Evil Saint Lord. However, there has never been any news about this before... In other words, this should be his first public appearance, right?"
"Is that so? You've deployed a previously unseen Fallen Saint Lord as a backup plan to assassinate me?" A gentle, calm voice rang out. Su Han descended from the sky, crashing to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Su Han slowly walked out of the dust, casually patted his clothes to remove the dust, and said casually, "Should I say I'm honored?"
“A holy lord deserves to be treated this way by me and my lord.”
Li Xianyu's expression was calm and gentle. "Actually, after that brief exchange... I think my lord may have underestimated you. Perhaps we should summon three sixth-stage beings! Only then would we have a 100% chance of killing you."
Li Huo stared blankly. Three Venerables... the sixth rank? He shuddered, goosebumps rising all over his body.
Although Li Huo had already confirmed that Su Han was very strong, he did not expect that Su Han would be this strong.
What does three Venerables mean? Even Xu Changnan, who could single-handedly kill a sixth-stage evil god's follower, would struggle against two beings of equal strength, and might even be at a disadvantage. Three Venerables... Xu Changnan would surely die.
This means that Su Han is not weak, and may even surpass Xu Changnan.
However, Xu Changnan has been at the Saint Lord realm for over a hundred years. Regardless of how old Su Han was when he reached the Saint Lord realm... simply considering Su Han's current total age, he has not yet broken through twenty.
"So you're planning to run away?" Su Han's voice was calm as he commanded the darkness, which spread in all directions. The evil creatures shrouded in darkness were all pulverized and sucked into the dark passages.
Of course, this was not Su Han's main objective. He used this to gradually block Li Xianyu's escape route.
"Actually, I wanted to ask if you're interested in believing in my Lord?"
Compared to the many evil beings and even the Five Elders that Su Han had encountered before, Li Xianyu was quite unique and did not appear as insane. However, as he spoke, a flash of fanaticism still appeared in his eyes.
Then, he shrugged and sighed, "But judging from this, you seem... to have a lot of hostility towards my divine lineage. Our gods... are clearly the most perfect beings!"
"Those who believe in my god will have a lifespan as long as my god, comparable to eternity... Even the Holy Lord of the Six Directions! Even the ancient sages who surpassed the Holy Lord... ultimately have a lifespan limit."
As soon as he finished speaking, blood vessels suddenly appeared in Li Xianyu's pupils, and then his pupils turned completely blood red, which looked very eerie.
His body suddenly shattered, turning into countless crimson threads that spread in all directions. Only a faint voice echoed around him, "Compared to gods and even their kin! Humans are ultimately just lowly lives that will decay with the passage of time."
Lei Qianjue's mouth gaped open. This was... an escape?!
After realizing what was happening, Lei Qianjue was stunned. He had thought Li Xianyu was about to start a fight after hearing those words, but instead… he chose to run away without hesitation?
"Can they escape?"
Darkness surged up from the earth, frantically devouring the crimson threads. Simultaneously, Su Han stomped his foot, soaring into the sky, his fist enveloped in white light, and suddenly swung down, shouting, "Air Tremor!"
The atmosphere ripped apart, and countless cracks fell from the sky, tearing apart the blood-red threads and forcibly suppressing them into the darkness.
In the endless darkness, ancient and mysterious sacrificial incantations suddenly resounded, filled with a powerful sense of spiritual pollution.
"Damn it!" Li Huo suddenly realized what was happening, turned around, and growled at the team of cultivators at the Two Elements Realm, "Close your eyes, block out your hearing... shut down your five senses!"
These cultivators were clearly far more skilled than the local cultivators of Jiangzhou. They all closed their eyes, using special methods to completely sever their senses from the outside world.
The darkness twisted and writhed before being torn apart, revealing a three-headed, monstrous being four meters tall, its body covered in jet-black muscles, striding out.
"Can you feel it? This is the power God has given me! Eternal and majestic. Powerful and immortal!" Li Xianyu's voice was fervent, his face filled with ecstasy.
Su Han, using his Observation Haki, heard the disordered and chaotic sounds emanating from Li Xianyu. After a brief silence, he sighed softly, "As expected... even if you seem to have clear logical thinking, it can't hide the fact that your true nature is chaotic."
“But being able to tear through the darkness is nothing.” Su Han flexed his fist, Armament Haki coiling around his wrist, turning it pitch black. “Withstanding my punches is the real deal.”
A jet-black hand suddenly formed a seal.
"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"
A tremendous earthquake shook the earth, and enormous trees sprang up from the depths of the ground, rapidly entangling Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu frowned, his arm transformed into a sharp blade, and suddenly slashed out, the terrifying sword light cutting through all the giant trees.
"Wait, where is that guy now?"
Li Xianyu initially found the trees summoned by Su Han, aside from their vibrant life, rather annoying. They offered no other advantages... but he soon discovered that he could no longer sense Su Han's presence or even the surrounding environment.
"I've got you locked in!" Su Han's calm voice suddenly rang out from behind Li Xianyu.
