Chapter 388: Venturing Deep Into the Soul Stirring Winds


    Time slowly passed by, and several dayster, all of the surrounding Soul Stirring Winds had already formed massive ck tornados that resembled enormous pirs connecting heaven and earth.


    These pirs of wind were constantly moving, asionally ovepping with one another before separating again, and it was impossible to see anything through the suffocating darkness.


    Han Li flew through the giant pirs of wind with his body epassed within the ck barrier released by the Wind Shelter Bead, and he was doing his best not toe into direct contact with these pirs of wind while also protecting his own consciousness as much as possible.


    He could clearly sense the formidable cial aura emanating from these pirs of wind, something that he certainly didn''t want to be directly exposed to.


    He was still advancing onward, but at a far slower rate than before.


    The ghastly sounds here had be significantly louder once again, and he was still able to withstand it, but he didn''t dare to release his spiritual sense out of his body anymore.


    One''s spiritual sense was an extension of one''s soul, so if he were to release his spiritual sense toe into contact with the surrounding Soul Stirring Winds, then the effects of the ghastly sounds ringing out from within them would be exacerbated.


    Thankfully, he still had his Brightsight Spirit Eyes, which allowed him to see the movement of the pirs of Soul Stirring Winds around him even without the use of his spiritual sense. Otherwise, it would''ve been extremely difficult to make any meaningful progress.


    All of a sudden, a giant pir of wind surged toward Han Li at an astonishing speed, but he was able to evade it by twisting to the side like an agile fish.


    However, right at this moment, a ck shadow shot out of the pir of wind like a bolt of ck lightning.


    Thankfully, Han Li was able to react in a timely fashion, sweeping his joined index and middle fingers through the air to release a streak of azure sword qi that struck the ck shadow with unerring uracy.


    A dull thump rang out as the ck shadow was sliced into two, and the ck 1i on its surface dissipated to reveal an inky-ck snake inside.


    The snake was around 10 feet in length with three horns on its head along with a pair of dark red eyes, and it was giving off an extremely forbidding cial aura.


    Even after being sliced into two, it didn''t perish. Instead, it was able to instantly fuse its body back together, and it was as if it hadn''t been wounded at all, but the cial aura that it was giving off had diminished significantly.


    A hint of surprise shed through Han Li''s eyes upon seeing this, and instead of fleeing the scene, the ck snake hissed at Han Li in a menacing fashion, indicating that it wasn''t a very intelligent creature.


    All of a sudden, it shot forth as a blurry shadow, vanishing without a trace before reappearing behind Han Li and pouncing viciously at his back.


    A faint smile appeared on Han Li''s face as he reached out with one hand, conjuring up arge azure palm projection that caught the ck snake in a sh.


    The ck snake writhed and struggled with all its might, but was unable to break free.


    Therge azure hand brought the snake closer to Han Li, and began to inspect it with slightly furrowed brows.


    This snake seemed to have been formed by the yin qi here, and unlike normal demon beasts, it had no physical body.


    In order to prepare for this trip, Han Li had read many scriptures rted to Soul Stirring Winds, and one of them had mentioned that there were some yin beasts residing deep within the Soul Stirring Winds that were very difficult to deal with.


    This snake was undoubtedly one such yin beast.


    Han Li made a clenching motion with his hand, and therge azure hand immediately constructed around the ck snake, crushing it into a cloud of ck qi.


    However, instead of dissipating, the ck qi began to writhe like a living creature, looking as if it were about toe together again.


    Han Li''s expression darkened slightly as he flicked a finger through the air, releasing a bolt of Divine Devilbane Lightning that struck the cloud of ck qi in a sh.


    The ck qi instantly scattered as if it had met the bane of its existence, and an anguished screech rang out from within it before itpletely faded away.


    Han Li''s expression eased slightly upon seeing this, and he continued onward.


    It seemed that the ck snake was a precursor for things toe, and Han Li was attacked by more and more yin beasts as he flew onward.


    These yin beasts weren''t very powerful, but their insubstantial bodies made them rather difficult to deal with.


    Thankfully, Han Li''s Divine Devilbane Lightning was perfect for dealing with these creatures, so he was able to dispatch them with ease.


    As he continued to fly onward, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.


    The number of pirs of Soul Stirring Wind around him had suddenly decreased, bing far sparser than before, and the few pirs of wind that remained were also significantly smaller than before.


    Han Li was rather taken aback by this, but he continued to fly onward, and as he did so, the number of pirs of Soul Stirring Wind continued to decrease until they disappeared altogether.


    All that was left in the ce of the Soul Stirring Winds was a boundless expanse of ck mist. The cial aura in the air had diminished significantly, and all of the yin beasts had also vanished without a trace.


    The disappearance of the Soul Stirring Winds meant that the ghastly sounds they produced had mostly subsided as well, and it seemed that he had arrived in a peaceful area of ck mist.


    Have I already passed through the Soul Stirring Winds? Han Li thought to himself, but then immediately shook his head.


    He had only been traveling through the Soul Stirring Winds for less than half a month, so there was no way that he had already passed through them.


    He was definitely still situated within the Soul Stirring Winds, but he seemed to have arrived in a special area.


    Unfortunately, he wasn''t able to find many scriptures containing information on the Soul Stirring Winds, and there were no records of areas like this.


    After a brief moment of hesitation, Han Li continued onward, but he had slowed down even further and was carefully observing everything around him with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes.


    After flying for close to an entire day, there was still nothing but ck mist around him. In fact, the ck mist had be denser and denser, until it was also substantial in form.


    At this point, his visibility was very limited even with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes.


    Furthermore, the mist was no longer as peaceful as before. Instead, some strange high-pitched sounds had begun ringing out within it, resembling the sound of an infant''s crying.


    The sound wasn''t very loud, and at times, it was barely audible at all, but it was even more formidable than the ghastly sounds from before.


    He slowed down once again, and two beams of blue light that were each around a foot in length shot out of his eyes as he inspected his surroundings.


    After advancing through the ck mist for a while, his expression suddenly changed slightly as he stopped in his tracks before casting his gaze forward.


    A burst of rumbling was ringing out up ahead, and the previously peaceful mist had suddenly begun to churn violently.


    The sound was bing louder and louder, while the disturbance in the surrounding mist was bing more and more violent, until it resembled a pot of boiling water.


    Han Li''s brows were tightly furrowed, and he was considering whether to continue straight ahead or skirt around the disturbance when all of the ck mist around him suddenly began to revolve in a frenzy, forming an enormous vortex.


    The vortex was so massive that he wasn''t even able to see it in its entirety. In fact, he wasn''t even able to ascertain where its center was, and it was releasing tremendous suction force that enveloped his entire body, forcibly drawing him toward the center of the vortex.


    Han Li''s expression darkened slightly as the azure light radiating from his body brightened significantly, and only then was he able to stabilize himself.


    At the same time, a ck shadow shot out of the ck mist up ahead.


    It was a giant ck toad-like yin beast that was around the size of a house with lumps growing all over its body, presenting a horrific sight to behold.


    The ck toad opened its mouth up wide to release a pir of dense ck light that hurtled directly toward Han Li, seemingly attempting to prevent him from leaving.


    The pir of ck light was giving off astonishing cial power fluctuations, and it seemed to be capable of freezing the very space in its wake.


    Han Li harrumphed coldly as he swept a sleeve through the air, releasing an azure flying sword that instantly transformed into a giant azure sword that was over 100 feet in length with arcs of golden lightning shing over its surface.


    The giant azure sword struck the pir of ck light, destroying it with ease before appearing above the toad yin beast''s head and shing down upon it.


    The yin beast''s body was instantly cleaved into two with Divine Devilbane Lightning spreading over the two halves of its body, causing them to explode into two clouds of ck qi.


    Even though Han Li had managed to y the yin beast, it had managed to dy him a little, and the giant vortex behind him had gotten closer to him, while the suction force that it was releasing had be even more formidable.


    Han Li was just about to unleash a secret technique to fly away from the area when a giant ck tentacle shot out of the vortex at an incredible speed before wrapping itself around him.


    However, thanks to his True Extreme Film, the tentacle wasn''t actually able to make contact with his body.


    His expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but he then gave a cold harrumph as he made a hand seal, and two Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords instantly flew out of his body before striking the ck tentacle.


    However, the tentacle was extremely resilient, and the pair of Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were only able to slice slightly into it before being brought to a halt.


    A surprised look appeared in Han Li''s eyes upon seeing this, and before he had a chance to do anything else, the ck tentacle abruptly pulled back with tremendous force, catching him off guard and dragging him into the huge vortex.


    In the next instant, he appeared in the eye of a rapidly revolving storm with deafening rumbling akin to the sound of countless thundering horse hooves ringing out around him.


    Bursts of tremendous suction force converged toward him from all directions, while the ck tentacle remained wrapped around his body.


    Furthermore, it was rapidly constricting, but Han Li''s True Extreme Film remained firm.


    Even though Han Li had been dragged into the vortex, he remained calm and collected, paying no heed to the ck tentacle around him as he inspected his surroundings with slightly furrowed brows.


    Right at this moment, a low roar rang out from deep within the vortex, following which another tentacle shot out of the darkness before also wrapping itself around Han Li''s body.


    Han Li withdrew his gaze before peering deep into the vortex, and a cold gleam shed through his eyes as he made a hand seal.
