Chapter 447: Chapter 208: I heard the female Bodhisattva is very graceful, I want to have a taste_5
The Bodhisattva had a frosty expression and did not descend near the island or on it, keeping her distance which clearly suggested she feared an ambush.
She was well aware that the thief who had killed the Joyful Arhat had an Emperor Formation at his disposal. If she carelessly became trapped in it, even with the help of two Divine Soldiers, she would face considerable trouble.
Above the Bodhisattva’s head hovered the Seven Treasures Pagoda, with its five thousand balustrades and ten thousand niches, adorned with countless banners and streamers, and draped with strings of pearls and tinkling bells; each banner was composed of gold, silver, crystal, conch shells, agate, pearls, and rose gemstones, creating the seven treasures. Moreover, from all four sides of the pagoda, the fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air.
At this moment, the Seven Treasures Pagoda’s Buddha’s light shone brilliantly, the Infinite Light covering heaven and earth as it spread over the vast Beiming in search of Han Li’s whereabouts.
The seven treasures, like seven sitting Buddhas, emitted sonorous chants that harmonized with the Infinite Light, almost transforming the vast Beiming into a Buddhist kingdom at sea.
However, after searching for some time, the Bodhisattva frowned slightly; she hadn’t detected the thief’s trail.
Had the enigmatic Tongxuan Realm powerhouse left, or was he hiding in the shadows, spying on her?
Why kill the Joyful Arhat and why lure her here?
The Bodhisattva found it puzzling, but out of caution, she summoned another Divine Soldier. With two Divine Soldiers accompanying her, she descended, just in case.
If the target was her and she arrived carelessly, she would suffer a great loss.
With a mere thought, the Bodhisattva made the Seven Treasures Pagoda continue to shine its Buddha’s light, scouring the heavens and the earth, yet still finding nothing.
After some contemplation, she beckoned towards the island, and the strand of the Joyful Arhat’s Primordial Spirit light that Han Li had left there immediately appeared in her hand.
Boom!
Just as the Bodhisattva intended to investigate it, the strand of Primordial Spirit light exploded instantly, emitting Five Elements Divine Light. Punch rays lit up the nine heavens and the ten earths, striking the Bodhisattva forcefully.
The Bodhisattva recoiled thousands of miles, yet her composure remained unshaken, suffering no injuries. She looked at the figure before her and said calmly, “So it was indeed me you were after.”
Han Li’s Dao body smiled wryly, feeling somewhat helpless. He used the Demonic Fetus Technique to conceal a Dao body within the Joyful Arhat’s Primordial Spirit light, hidden so well that even the Bodhisattva hadn’t noticed—but alas, the sneak attack failed.
The Bodhisattva possessed too many treasures. The plain silk gown she wore was Quasi Emperor-level armor, and she was adorned with various other accessories—the least among them being Sacred Soldiers.
Han Li’s Dao body attacked using the Five Elements Divine Punch, but it was blocked by her Quasi Emperor armor. Now, with the Seven Treasures Pagoda reacting, he no longer had a chance for a surprise attack.
“I’ve heard the Bodhisattva is quite succulent. I would quite like to have a taste,” Han Li said, even going so far as to stick out his tongue and lick his lips.
In the face of Han Li’s provocation, the Bodhisattva was expressionless, but the Seven Treasures Pagoda above her head unleashed a ray of Buddha’s light, which blasted onto Han Li.
In an instant, Han Li was annihilated, that part of the void extinguished. A vast area of the sea evaporated, and countless sea creatures perished as a result.
The Bodhisattva raised an eyebrow. Was it really that easy?
Soon after, she let out a cold laugh, realizing that this was merely a clone, not the thief’s true body. Otherwise, even a casual strike from the Seven Treasures Pagoda wouldn’t have the power to kill the opponent.
After all, he possessed Divine Soldiers and an Emperor Formation; his death wouldn’t come so easily.
Having eliminated Han Li’s Dao body, the Bodhisattva communicated with the Artifact Spirit of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. The Pagoda’s Buddha’s light blossomed, Infinite radiance enveloped the vast Beiming, erecting a supreme Buddhist realm.
Although she appeared indifferent, she had internally condemned that man to severe punishment. To have treated her with such frivolity, once captured, she would suppress him beneath Xumi Mountain for a hundred thousand years, converting him into a Buddhist Sect protector, worshiping her devoutly.
Thousands of miles away, Han Li quietly watched all this unfold. With three Divine Soldiers and Array Diagrams concealing him, the Seven Treasures Pagoda still couldn’t detect him.
“Zi Yi, Ji Mingyue, are you confident?” Han Li communicated with the Artifact Spirits of the Void Bell and the Time-Sky Tower, considering whether he could suppress the Bodhisattva in one fell swoop.
“Master, our chances of subduing the Bodhisattva are very low,” Ji Mingyue spoke.
Han Li’s eyebrows raised.
“Master, we’ve detected another Top Grade Divine Soldier on the Bodhisattva. If a battle ensues, it won’t be easy to overcome her quickly,” Zi Yi explained.
Han Li sighed.
It seemed that for today, he would have to let the Bodhisattva go. However, he was in no hurry; there would be other days.
The Bodhisattva was too cautious, bringing two Divine Soldiers with her. Even though he had two Supreme Grade Divine Soldiers and one Top Grade Array Diagram, it would be difficult to defeat her swiftly.
Battles at the Heaven Imperial Realm level were enormously disruptive. The Sacred Land Masters of Qianyuan Divine Province would soon notice and descend upon them.
If he were to be attacked by multiple Divine Soldiers, he would not be able to escape. Seeing his foundation, those Sacred Land Masters might employ Immortal Soldiers to prevent his flight.
As his thoughts turned, Han Li immediately departed, not lingering, as today’s gains had already been substantial.
Less than half a breath after Han Li left, figures started to arrive in Beiming—one by one, Dao Lords, Demon Lords, and Lords of Demons, all Tongxuan Realm powerhouses.
PS: With this segment of the plot complete, including the stories of Ji Mingyue, Zi Yi, and Yuan Youwei, we’re going to jump forward in the timeline, by at least thirty years. I’m thinking of trying a different narrative style, something like a family saga. Ancestor Han will still marry and take concubines, fathering children, but those parts of the story will be much shorter. Mainly, it will focus on some exceptional descendants of the family, as well as the stories of the original wives and concubines.
Through different facets, we’ll portray the power of the Han Mansion and Han Li, and this time, there won’t be the kind of monodrama that occurred with the previous time skip that you didn’t enjoy and that also wore me out writing.
