When the Blood Red Sky Ghost saw that Han Li was not crushed by this powerful force, a trace of surprise flashed past his blood red eyes.

“Humph, you bite off more than you can chew!” It hollered in a low voice, as a tattoo appeared on his body. After its arms turned thicker, it shook them again with all its strength and pressed them into the middle with a huge force.

As a result, apart from Han Li showing a trace of a pained expression, his body was like an indestructible piece of fine iron, no matter how hard the Blood Red Sky Ghost tried, it could not crush it.

At this moment, golden light burst out from Han Li’s body as pale golden scales appeared on his body and five orbs of blue lights flickered in his chest and abdomen where the ghost’s claws held onto him.

He gave a low shout and put his hands out as a force several times larger than before burst out.

Blood Red Sky Ghost was shocked. Its fingers were unexpectedly pulled away by Han Li bit by bit.

Han Li’s body swayed and turned into a golden shadow, flying out of the ghost’s claws. On the way, his body expanded rapidly and thick golden fur grew on his whole body, including his face, and two white fangs protruded from his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a golden giant ape of more than 100 feet tall.

A violent air emanated from him and some black and ferocious aura danced around his body.

“This is… the legendary Giant Mountain Ape!” Blood Red Sky Ghost was somewhat surprised.

The giant ape that Han Li turned into stood more than a thousand feet away. His hands thumped on his chest as he felt the surging power in his body and he let out a loud roar.

Although his Nascent Soul was sealed, the power of several true spirit bloodlines he had refined was still in his body. After his body had completely recovered, he could now use the Insect Awakening Skill.

His heart was filled with emotions being able to use this magic again.

“No wonder your powers are so amazing. It has something to do with true spirit. It was only because of sheer luck that I’ve managed to find what I searched far and wide for. If I can get your blood, I will be able to advance to another level and increase my power greatly!” Blood Red Sky Ghost laughed, its huge body flying out.

Its right claw was clenched into a fist, which was as big as a house, and swung at the giant ape, blood red light bursting out.

The giant golden ape snorted and also punched out, his fist bursting out with golden light.

Two fists of different sizes collided!

There was a thunderous sound which resounded all over the sky and caused the sea of blood below to thrash and the waves roiled.

Blood Red Sky Ghost’s body was shocked and it was knocked upside down and flew out. Its right arm burst inch by inch and blood and flesh splashed and turned into a bloody mist, revealing the crystal blood-jade arm bones.

Crash!

The Sky Ghost was smashed into the sea of blood and he set off massive waves upon impact.

The giant golden ape swayed and stabilized his body.

After surging for a bit, the sea was once again calm.

But in the next moment, there was a loud bang!

The sea of blood behind the giant ape suddenly burst and waves of blood sprayed up. Blood Red Sky Ghost flew out of it and its arm that burst apart previously had already recovered. It seemed like the violent feelings in its heart could no longer be held back.

It grabbed at the air with one hand and the blood waves below coagulated as they turned into a three to four hundred feet long blood colored spear, which it held in its hand. Then, it aimed the spear at the giant golden ape.

A shrill shriek sounded in the air!

The giant ape suddenly turned around and dived down as a furry palm came out as if it were a huge cattail fan and slapped down at the long spear.

There was a loud bang!

Almost as soon as the spear was thrown out, it was smashed hard and flew off into the distance. Blood Red Sky Ghost was stunned. Before it could dodge, the giant golden ape rushed towards it and two golden fists pounded down.

The sky ghost showed no weakness and stretched out its left arm to block it.

There was a loud bang!

Its huge body flew backwards from the hit. The left half of its body was almost completely shattered, once again revealing the bloody crystal skeleton.

Just when the giant golden ape gave a low roar and prepared to give chase, there was a sudden change in the sea of blood below!

A huge wave surged up from the sea of blood. It twisted and in an instant, turned into a huge ferocious dragon head. Its mouth opened and closed, swallowing the giant golden ape in a flash.

Then, the blood dragon bared its teeth and whirled up from the sea. It was a thousand feet long and its huge body floated on the surface of the sea, bloody lights covering its body and blood mist rolling out.

Not far away, Blood Red Sky Ghost stabilized its body. The runes on the surface of its bones flashed and a stream of thick blood came out from the sea of blood. It entangled around the missing half of its body and miraculously the tissues recovered in a speed visible to the naked eye.

It saw that the giant ape was swallowed by the blood dragon and quickly did hand seals, reciting a mysterious spell.

The dragon’s eyes were filled with a bloody light and with a curl of its long body, it became a huge blood ball in an instant. There was a dazzling blood light that was flashing wildly, and its body also grew big.

Blood Red Sky Ghost’s expression was ferocious and the gestures with his hands stopped as he spat out the word ‘break’.

But in an instant, countless golden threads pierced out from the surface of the huge blood ball, forming a big bump. Then, there was a loud bang and a golden light flew out of it, rushing towards Blood Red Sky Ghost.

Wrapped inside the golden light was the giant ape that Han Li had turned into.

He had just flown two or three hundred feet when there was a tremendous bang and the huge blood ball suddenly exploded.

Rings of monstrous air waves spread out, and the strong wind swept the area. Raging waves appeared on the surface of the sea and at the center of the explosion, there were ripples that appeared and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Although the giant golden ape broke out in time, it was still a little affected by the explosion. The golden fur on his body was damaged in several places and he seemed to have suffered some minor injuries. If he had not reacted quickly enough, his vital energy would be hurt even if he had a strong body.

Blood Red Sky Ghost saw that the giant ape was approaching at full speed and with a flap of his wings, two hurricanes roared under it. Its huge body turned into a blurred bloody figure as he retreated and created a safe distance between it and the giant golden ape.

The physical strength of the giant ape in front of him was far beyond its imagination and it did not want to meet him face to face.

When Han Li, as the giant ape, saw this, his expression darkened.

Giant Mountain Ape was originally good at physical strength, but it was not fast and could not catch up at all.

Suddenly, there was a strange roar from the sky ghost in the distance!

“Puff, puff!”

The sea of blood around the giant ape bulged one by one and then blood shadows rushed out of it, hundreds of them swarming towards the giant ape.

They were bloody ghostly figures with one horn on their heads. Their eyes were green with sharp claws and blood mist surrounded them.

The giant ape paused and the golden light around his body became brighter and his huge body shrank rapidly under a blur and submerged into the surrounding blood mist.

The next moment, a loud and clear cry sounded, and thousands of dazzling green lights broke through the mist blowing the blood mist away.

Swish!”

A big blue figure shot out. It was a huge blue bird.

It was seventy or eighty feet long, the feathers on its body were bright blue and its crown was blue as well. Its wings were wide and when it was spread out, it was longer than its body. Three long tail feathers trailed behind it, looking very handsome.

The giant blue bird waved its wings and strong winds roared. Hundreds of long blue marks appeared in the wind and slashed at the blood ghosts who came flying after it.

Pft!

Dozens of blood ghosts were easily cut by the blue marks and burst into thick blood mist.

The giant blue bird unfolded its wings again and turned into a blurry blue figure, rushing out of the encirclement of the blood ghosts with great dexterity, and shot straight towards Blood Red Sky Ghost.

“Holy bird, Blue Luan 1! Who on earth are you?” Blood Red Sky Ghost’s expression changed, and with a flap of its wings, turned around and fled.

But the blue figure was faster. It flew to the side of the sky ghost in an instant as a green light flashed.

Pft!

Blood spurted out from the front of Blood Red Sky Ghost’s chest and three bone-deep marks appeared. The sky ghost suddenly turned around, his arms raised to do something when the blue figure suddenly flashed past its back.

Pft!

Three huge scars appeared on the sky ghost’s back and a bat wing was sliced off, blood gushing out.

“Growl!”

Blood Red Sky Ghost’s eyes turned even more red and he turned his head towards the blue figure as he gave out a roar, its ghost claws reaching out.

Countless blood claw lights appeared, forming a dense net of blood claws, blocking the blue figure in front.

The blue figure suddenly disappeared and in the next moment reappeared on the right side of the sky ghost as it rushed towards it with a flash.

Pft!

Three deep scars appeared on its right arm and blood gushed out like a spring.

Blood Red Sky Ghost roared repeatedly, trying to fight back.

It was a pity that he could not keep up with the speed of the blue figure and could not even catch its shadow.

There were a lot of vague blue shadows flying around Blood Red Sky Ghost. The sky ghost’s body quickly turned into a bloody mess and its movements slowed.

If it were not for the hard bones in its body, the attack of the Blue Luan would not have ended there and it would have been cut into pieces.

A trace of fear flashed past the sky ghost’s eyes. It put its arms around its head and shot towards the sea of blood below. At the same time, a huge, thick blood wave rose and came to meet it.

A loud and clear cry suddenly sounded!

The blue figure increased its speed and turned into afterimages, flying around the sky ghost.

Loud tumbles!

Strong wind blew and numerous blue marks appeared in the wind. It flooded several meters around and cut everything crazily.

The thick blood wave had just risen from the sea, and was immediately cut by a dozen blue marks before it fell back uselessly into the sea.
