Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

Seeing that Han Li had actually made a move, Qin Han snorted coldly in his heart.

He didn't really want to break ties with the other party, but he needed to let them know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

This move was merely to demonstrate strength and intimidate the opponent.

In the original story, the reason why Han Li chose to join forces with Xuan Gu Shangren was ultimately because that old demon was strong enough that neither side would gain an advantage if they really fought.

Furthermore, with the Yin Ancestor lurking in the shadows, Han Li, after weighing the pros and cons, had no choice but to negotiate with the tiger for its skin.

If the first move in this game is played well, the rest will fall into place naturally.

Right now, we're taking that first step.

boom!

Just then, the golden, piercing lightning shot towards Qin Han at an incredible speed, arriving in front of him in an instant and forming a golden net of light that enveloped him.

Wherever the lightning passed, the surrounding ghostly mist surged and dissipated like boiling water. At the same time, Qin Han felt a violent tearing sensation in his soul, as if it were about to tear his body apart!

Qin Han's expression suddenly turned serious, and he couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "This thing is really troublesome. In this Ghostly Land, with such dense Yin energy, it can still suppress me. If we were outside, without this environment to protect me..."

Thinking of this, his pupils contracted slightly. "The power is probably much stronger than it is here!"

"but--"

Qin Han's lips curled into a cold smile.

If it were an ordinary ghost, it would probably have been annihilated long ago in the face of this exorcising divine thunder.

But he's no ordinary ghost!

"Rise!" With a low shout, Qin Han summoned the Creation Cauldron without hesitation!

But then a small, jet-black cauldron, about the size of a fist, flew out from his body. It grew rapidly in the wind, becoming about ten feet in size in the blink of an eye. It hovered in mid-air, emitting a faint mysterious light and trembling gently.

This cauldron looks simple and unadorned, its entire body as black as ink, but at the very moment it ascends into the air...

"Buzz—"

A mysterious and profound wave spread out from the body of the cauldron, and the surrounding space began to distort and change!

Han Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

In an instant, the scene within a radius of a hundred feet centered on the Creation Cauldron underwent a dramatic transformation!

The gray stone ground beneath their feet vanished, replaced by a chaotic, undeveloped void.

The surrounding ghostly mist completely dissipated, replaced by the surging earth, water, wind, and fire. The power of the four elements clashed and collided in the void, producing a series of muffled roars.

Immediately afterwards, from the earth, water, wind, and fire, the sun, moon, and stars slowly rose, flowing and moving in the void, casting a cool, clear light.

Then, mountains rose abruptly from the ground, vegetation grew lush and green, rivers meandered, and veins of earth lay dormant deep within the land like giant dragons…

Where is this supposed to be, some kind of place of ghostly injustice?

This is clearly the beginnings of a new world!

Han Li's expression changed completely.

With his knowledge, he could naturally see that what he was seeing was not real, but rather a scene created by some extremely sophisticated illusion or secret technique.

For example, in Yan Family Fortress of Yue Kingdom in the south, the "Blood Spirit Great Art" cultivated by Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, was like this, which also changed the scenery of a certain area.

But the question is, what kind of illusion magic could be so realistic?

So realistic that even he, a Core Formation cultivator who cultivated the Great Evolution Technique and whose spiritual sense far surpassed that of his peers, couldn't detect the slightest flaw?!

It's as if this world before us is truly real!

"What exactly is this...?" Han Li's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. Without hesitation, he opened his divine sense wide, constantly alerting himself to the changes around him.

At the same time, Qin Han snorted coldly, and without hesitation, a thought arose in his mind.

A deafening boom resounded, and the sky above suddenly darkened. Han Li instinctively looked up.

But then, two dazzling rays of light, one black and one white, rose from the horizon, transforming into two enormous yin-yang fish that seemed to blot out the sun, swimming methodically across the sky.

The black and white fish intertwined and entwined, head to tail, endlessly cycling and regenerating.

An extremely profound Yin-Yang power poured down from it, instantly enveloping the entire world.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Han Li's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief!

The evil-repelling divine lightning covering Qin Han's soul body, as well as the gold-devouring insect swarm that had transformed into golden and silver-colored clouds, suddenly seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and frozen in mid-air when they were halfway there!

The next moment, Han Li clearly saw that the golden arcs on the surface of the divine lightning enveloping Qin Han's body began to fade away inch by inch.

Instead, there is an extreme, profound blackness.

The blackness spread all the way, and in the blink of an eye, the electric net formed by the evil-repelling divine lightning transformed from the most yang gold into a black arc of electricity that exuded a bone-chilling cold!

Han Li gasped.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The Divine Thunder that Wards Off Evil is the most yang substance in the world, and it is specifically designed to subdue all yin, evil, and ghostly forces.

Throughout his cultivation, he had never heard of any method that could reverse the properties of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder!

This completely overturned his understanding of the cultivation world!

However, before Han Li could recover from the shock, an even more bizarre scene followed.

Following the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, the Gold-Eating Insect also began this bizarre and inexplicable transformation.

The swarm of insects, which had originally transformed into golden and silvery clouds, turned into eerie, pitch-black insects at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first glance, they looked like a dark, gloomy cloud!

Qin Han looked at Han Li's shocked expression and sneered inwardly.

"You like using the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder? Then today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be struck by your own divine thunder!" Qin Han's tone was sinister, his face mocking, and his eyes stared coldly at Han Li.

The moment the words left his mouth, his thoughts shifted again!

The "black electric net" that exuded an eerie and chilling aura suddenly changed direction, carrying an extremely yin power that was completely opposite to what it had before, and shot back towards Han Li at an incredibly fast speed!

Moreover, as the black electric net shot toward Han Li, it visibly transformed back into a flickering, violent arc of electricity.

Then, countless black gold-devouring insects swarmed towards Han Li.

Upon seeing this, Han Li's expression suddenly changed.

Without a second thought, he instinctively raised his hand, and another golden bolt of divine lightning shot out from his palm, meeting the black lightning bolt head-on!

He quickly made a hand seal, and a layer of cyan protective spiritual light condensed on his body.

With another wave of his hand, he produced a small, translucent, pure white bowl. As soon as the bowl appeared, it rapidly expanded, growing to about ten feet in size, and he was inverted inside it.

With a deafening roar, two bolts of "divine lightning" with completely opposite attributes, one gold and one black, collided violently in mid-air!

Gold represents the ultimate Yang, while black represents the ultimate Yin. These two completely opposite forces collided like water and fire, unleashing a series of crackling and popping sounds.

In an instant, lightning flashed everywhere, yin energy surged, and the entire space trembled violently.

Unfortunately, Qin Han only had the Creation Cauldron for a short time and didn't study it in depth. In the end, the golden Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder was still superior.

After the golden arc of electricity was mostly used up, it finally completely exhausted the black arc of electricity.

Then, the remaining golden lightning bolt, though only a trace of its power remained, still shot towards Qin Han with undiminished momentum!

Upon seeing this, Qin Han snorted coldly.

He neither dodged nor avoided, but simply raised his hand, and a chilling mist suddenly surged from his palm, which he then flicked lightly.

With a "whoosh," the wisp of dark mist collided with the golden lightning, easily shattering and dissipating it.

Qin Han withdrew his hand with a seemingly normal expression, but inwardly he was secretly amazed.

"The projection of the world within the cauldron, which is only a hundred feet in diameter, already possesses such power... If the world within the cauldron continues to expand in the future, the power of this cauldron will likely become even stronger!"

Thinking of this, and feeling the depletion of his magical power, his expression became somewhat solemn.

Even with his Ghost King level cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness at this moment.

"This consumption is far too great. In just a short while, it has drawn nearly one-fifth of my mana. It seems this treasure needs to be used with caution..."

Thinking this, he began to make plans in secret.

"Let's save it as a trump card. We can use it when faced with an overwhelming attack to catch the enemy off guard. Otherwise, we should avoid using it."

Qin Han was quite satisfied with the results of using the Creation Cauldron for the first time.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, summoning back the Creation Cauldron that was floating in mid-air. The conjured world also dissipated, and the surrounding area returned to the hazy landscape of the Ghostly Vengeance Land.

Qin Han hovered in mid-air, his cold, blood-red eyes gazing meaningfully at Han Li, who was trapped inside the bowl-shaped magic weapon.
