Little Dipper Island.
Sensing the location of the Formation, Li Feiyu flew straight over.
He patted his Spirit Beast Pouch, and a pair of three-inch long Golden Cicadas flew out. Li Feiyu pointed towards the Inverted Five Elements Formation ahead.
They immediately flew over, stuck to the Formation's protective shield, and began to bite.
Because they naturally possess the ability to devour Spiritual Qi, they have considerable Restriction-breaking capabilities.
Whether it's a Formation or a Restriction, it requires Spiritual Qi supply. If a certain area's Spiritual Qi supply is insufficient, a loophole will appear.
However, the Soul Devouring Golden Cicadas are still weak, and their numbers are few, so the amount of Spiritual Qi they can devour is limited.
The Inverted Five Elements Formation, while not the improved version, was still powerful enough to block ordinary Late Foundation Establishment stage Cultivators, preventing them from easily breaking into the Grand Formation.
After biting for a long time, the pair of Soul Devouring Golden Cicadas gnawed a small opening in the shield, but even they found it difficult to pass through.
"This Grand Formation is indeed extraordinary, so I won't waste any more time."
Li Feiyu recalled the Golden Cicadas, put them back into his Spirit Beast Pouch, and properly announced himself with a transmission talisman.
Han Li, who was cultivating diligently, opened his eyes, tidied himself up a bit, and then personally went out to greet Li Feiyu.
"Senior Brother Li, why have you come?"
"Just came to check on you. Oh, you've actually recovered to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Impressive!"
Han Li smiled and said, "Senior Brother Li also kept his word and reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, didn't he?"
The two drug-addicted maniacs exchanged commercial flattery.
"Aren't you going to invite me to sit in your Immortal Cave?"
"Alright." Han Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He could refuse others, but he couldn't do so with Li Feiyu.
Li Feiyu surveyed Han Li's Immortal Cave and deliberately provoked him, "Can I look around?"
"No!" Han Li's eye twitched, and he decisively refused, "Senior Brother Li, just say what you need to say. I'm busy recovering my cultivation!"
"Haha, don't get excited. I was just joking!"
"However, you're so nervous, could you be hiding something unspeakable?"
"If you're not going to say it, then please leave. I won't see you out."
"How boring, Han Li, you're too serious. I just came to inform you that in three days, there will be a spiritual land competition on Kui Star Island. I will be participating then, so remember to come."
Han Li asked, confused, "I'm not participating, why should I go?"
"To admire my heroic figure!" Li Feiyu said righteously.
Han Li's mouth twitched slightly, "I'll see."
"Where did you get the Spirit Bird on your shoulder? It looks quite extraordinary."
The Fire Crow heard Han Li praise him and proudly raised his head.
"What, why don't you two compete?"
"I'll pass." Han Li didn't want to stir up more trouble.
Suddenly, the Fire Crow left Li Feiyu's shoulder, soared into the sky, and his entire body's feathers ignited with crimson flames.
"Ya ya ~"
A clear cry rang out, and he rushed towards Han Li like a ball of fire. His speed was astonishing, comparable to a False Core stage Cultivator's full-speed flight.
Han Li was astonished, fearing that if he dodged, this fire bird would break through the Restrictions behind him and rush inside.
So he patted his Storage Pouch, and a tortoise shell shield flew out of it.
The impact of the fire bird was not to be underestimated; he could only take out his strongest defensive Magical Artifact to block it.
This tortoise shell Magical Artifact came from Lu Tianmeng of Spirit Beast Mountain. Its defense was so strong that it could be considered a High Grade among top-tier defensive Magical Artifacts, a rare find.
Bang ~
Han Li suffered a huge force, and his body involuntarily retreated a few steps. Flames burst, forming clusters of fiery flowers that scattered all around.
The tortoise shell Magical Artifact's defense was indeed powerful. The Three-legged Fire Crow's powerful impact only left a faint mark, and the scorching flames couldn't harm the shield in the slightest.
The Three-legged Fire Crow flapped his wings in the air, not continuing his attack, and turned his head, as if observing.
Han Li said, "Senior Brother Li, you almost destroyed my Immortal Cave."
Li Feiyu laughed, "Don't slander me, the little fellow initiated the attack himself, I didn't give any orders."
"If you want to teach him a lesson, take him down yourself!"
"Then don't blame me for not holding back!"
"Outside!"
Han Li flashed out, and the Fire Crow followed. Li Feiyu's mouth curved into a slight smile, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
Although the Fire Crow had just entered the second rank, due to his innate talent, his strength was comparable to a third-rank Demon Beast.
He was born with a Divine Ability called Rainbow Escape Art. His escape speed was so fast that only a fourth-rank Demon Beast, equally skilled in flight, might be able to compete with him, but even then, catching him would not be easy.
Bang bang bang ~
In the blink of an eye, the Fire Crow launched several attacks, making Han Li's hands slightly numb.
However, Han Li would not let the Fire Crow continue to be arrogant. He activated his Red Thread Escape Light Needles, and the thirteen needle-shaped Magical Artifacts, with astonishing speed, entangled the Fire Crow in the air.
Although the Red Thread Escape Light Needles were difficult to detect in human eyes, they were nowhere to hide in front of the Fire Crow.
Han Li's Divine Sense was powerful, and he manipulated the Red Thread Escape Light Needles with ease. The thirteen-pronged attack made the Fire Crow flustered, constantly dodging.
The Fire Crow's flame attacks and speed were the most astonishing. Besides that, his body defense was also impressive; each of his feathers was comparable to a High Grade Magical Artifact.
However, each Red Thread Escape Light Needle was a top-tier Magical Artifact. Although it couldn't pierce through the feather defense in one go, over time, it would be no problem. Therefore, the Fire Crow primarily dodged, occasionally blocking with his wings, never allowing the attack to hit the same spot twice.
Han Li had completely gained the upper hand and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Li, your Spirit Beast is truly excellent, and very intelligent."
"However, I think the competition should end here."
"You ask him yourself." Li Feiyu chuckled.
Han Li was a little surprised. Could it be that Li Feiyu really wasn't afraid of his Spirit Beast being injured?
Just then, the Fire Crow suddenly let out another high-pitched cry, and the crimson flames around his body turned golden-red.
The golden-red flames surged, directly avoiding the Red Thread Escape Light Needles.
Han Li wanted to force his way in again, but after the Red Thread Escape Light Needles entered, his Divine Sense suddenly detected that his control over them was somewhat unstable.
He was horrified, "What kind of flames are those? They can actually affect Divine Sense, and in such a short time, they have the power to damage even top-tier Magical Artifacts."
Han Li immediately manipulated the Red Thread Escape Light Needles to stay away from the golden-red flames, threatening from the outside.
Puff ~
The Fire Crow soared, spreading his wings. Under the blazing sun, a third leg suddenly grew between his two legs.
Han Li frowned, as if talking to himself, and also as if asking Li Feiyu, "What kind of Spirit Beast is this, after all?"
After the third leg appeared, Han Li found that the Fire Crow's strength had surged by a significant margin.
He saw him attack Han Li with his third leg. Han Li, seeing this, continuously injected his magical power into the tortoise shell shield.
He believed that this state could not last long.
However, what he didn't expect was that the power unleashed by this third leg was almost two or three times greater than the previous impact, and with the blessing of the golden-red flames, the destructive power was even more astonishing.
Boom ~
Han Li, along with his tortoise shell shield, was sent flying far away. Li Feiyu, seeing this, raised his hand to stop the Fire Crow from continuing his attack.
Han Li's guess was correct; such an attack indeed couldn't last long, but he could still launch it four or five more times without issue.
By then, Han Li would at least be seriously injured, and that tortoise shell shield would probably also be damaged.
Han Li flew back, staring at Li Feiyu with a shocked expression, "What kind of Spirit Beast is this?"
"The Fire Crow, an ancient Spirit Beast, now very rare. I'm not sure if there are any others outside."
"His third leg?"
Han Li now looked at the Fire Crow. His third leg had already retracted, leaving only a partial outline, hard to notice without careful observation.
"This is a sign of pure Bloodline. Currently, it only appears during bursts of power."
"Junior Brother Han, what do you think of my Spirit Beast?"
"Powerful, mystical, and a rare sight!"
Han Li felt envious and couldn't help but praise him sincerely. He looked at Li Feiyu's expression and said, "So, you came here to show off?"
The Fire Crow had the exact same expression as Li Feiyu.
"Otherwise, what? I worked so hard to cultivate my Spirit Beast, I have to find an acquaintance to show off to. The spiritual land matter was just a side trip, haha."
Han Li was speechless, "Alright, I concede!"
Li Feiyu left contentedly, shouting loudly as he flew away, "Don't forget to come and admire my heroic figure!"
After returning to Qingyun Mountain, Li Feiyu did not go directly back to Secluded Valley but instead wandered around the various peaks.
"Little Golden Cicada, it's time to show your skills. Go and sniff out which peak has more Spiritual Qi."
