All of a sudden, Han Li emerged from the nearby space, and glanced at the Provenance Golden Body with a pleased look on his face.

He swept a sleeve through the air, and the golden body disintegrated into specks of golden light. The second Nascent Soul then flew toward him as a ball of black Qi before also vanishing into his body in a flash.

He had released his second Nascent Soul to possess the golden body, but due to the fact that it still hadnt fortified its cultivation base, it had been unable to use its devilish powers during that battle and could only use its spiritual sense to control the golden body.

In doing so, the second Nascent Soul wouldnt have to worry about facing backlash from inner demons, but the golden body wouldnt be able to unleash its full power, either.

Thankfully, after Han Li reached the late-Spatial Tempering Stage, he had also cultivated to the last level of his Provenance True Devil Arts, so his golden body had become far more powerful than back when he was at the early-Spatial Tempering Stage.

As such, he was able to use many more powerful abilities that he had been looking forward to for a long time, one of the most powerful and unpredictable of which was the Revolving Golden Light.

Even if an ordinary Body Integration Stage being were to be caught off guard and sucked in by this golden light, there was a very good chance that theyd perish in there unless they had some extremely powerful abilities or treasures to protect themselves.

As such, even though the second Nascent Soul was unable to use its devilish powers, it was still able to kill that Rong being with ease.

All four of those Rong beings had been slain in virtually the blink of an eye, and Fairy Yue and the elderly man were still hesitating in the distance about whether they should turn around and lend Han Li their assistance when the battle was already over.

The four troublesome enemies who had posed such a major threat to them had been eradicated by Han Li with the utmost ease, and both of them were completely rooted to the spot.

Their expressions were filled most with astonishment, as well as a hint of unease, and the slightest hint of elation.

Han Li completely disregarded them and arrived before Quer in a flash.

Ever since Han Li had appeared, Quer had remained rooted obediently to the spot without moving so much as a single inch. The two of them engaged in a brief conversation via voice transmission, following which white light flashed from her body, and she quickly disappeared up Han Lis sleeve.

Han Li paused momentarily with a contemplative look on his face before turning to appraise the woman and elderly man in the distance.

The two of them also seemed to have engaged in a brief conversation, and after a brief hesitation, they flew over to Han Li together.

Even though they had decided to approach Han Li, they still chose to stop over 100 feet away from him in the end.

Thank you for stepping to save us, Fellow Daoist Han. Otherwise, Im not sure Fairy Yue and I wouldve been able to escape those Rong beings. Your immense powers truly put the two of us to shame, the elderly man said as he cupped his fist in a grateful salute.

A calm expression reappeared in Fairy Yues eyes as she sighed, Indeed, those Rong beings movement techniques were quite powerful, and if you hadnt stepped in just in the nick of time, our lives were truly at risk. Im also extremely grateful to you.

So the two of you have already expended much of your magic power, I was wondering why you were unable to shake off those Rong beings. Theres no need to thank me. I may not be a Heavenly Cloud being, but I entered this realm with you two back in Cloud City, so I certainly wont just stand by and watch when you two are in grave danger, Han Li replied with a modest smile.

You have a sharp eye, Brother Han! Indeed, by the time Fairy Yue and I discovered those Rong beings nefarious plot, we had already expended much of our energy. I wont forget what you did for us, Fellow Daoist Han, Ill be sure to thank you for your efforts. The elderly man was quite relieved to see how benevolent Han Li was, and the smile on his face became a little more genuine.

Han Li merely smiled and remained silent.

All of a sudden, Fairy Yue raised a hand to produce a jade box.

This is a Nineflame Herb thats already extinct in the Spirit Realm, and its a mandatory ingredient for refining several types of spirit pills. Its also one of the reasons why those Rong beings were so intent on hunting us down. We have no way of thanking you for saving our lives, so we can only offer this spirit herb in repayment.

She tossed the jade box over to Han Li as she spoke, and a hint of surprise appeared on the elderly mans face upon seeing this, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a smile again.

Han Li was also rather taken aback by this, and he made a grabbing motion with one hand to draw the jade box into his grasp.

He looked down at the jade box to find that it was flashing with red light, and that there were several blue talismans plastered over the box, indicating that it contained something very important.

He opened his mouth to expel a burst of azure light, and the talismans on the jade box flashed erratically a few times before flying off on their own.

The lid of the box was removed, and a ball of glazed light that seemingly possessed an extremely high level of spiritual nature emerged from within.

However, Han Li was already prepared for this, and he certainly wasnt going to allow it to escape. He waved a hand and made a grabbing motion, upon which a burst of immense force instantly immobilized the ball of light.

He curled his five fingers back, and the ball of light flew directly toward his hand.

Fairy Yues expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and she hurriedly cautioned, Be careful, Fellow Daoist Han!

Its alright. Han Li merely smiled in response before shimmering golden spiritual light radiated from his hand, and the glazed ball of light gently settled into his grasp.

This was a spirit herb that resembled a flame and was emitting nine different types of spiritual light.

The spirit herb was only several inches tall, but its nine-colored light was radiating such intense heat that the surrounding air was shimmering and warping violently.

However, Han Li didnt seem to be bothered by the scorching heat at all as he held the spirit herb up to his eyes for closer inspection.

A hint of astonishment flashed through the elderly mans eyes upon seeing this, and he chuckled, Looks like your concerns were unwarranted, Fairy Yue! With Brother Hans astonishing powers, theres no way this spirit herb will be able to harm him.

Fairy Yue faltered slightly before a wry smile appeared on her face. Indeed, the spiritual light released by this Nineflame Herb can melt metal and stone with ease, but it has no effect on you, your powers are truly unfathomable, Fellow Daoist Han.

You two are far too kind, Ive merely cultivated some techniques in the past that grant me greater resistance to flames and heat. This Nineflame Herb is indeed an extremely rare fire-attribute spirit herb, and I do actually have a use for it, so Ill be accepting this gift, Han Li replied with a smile.

He then placed the herb back into the jade box and applied a few talismans of his own to its surface. The jade box then vanished amid a flash of spiritual light.

A faint smile appeared on Fairy Yues face upon seeing this.

The elderly man was quite reluctant to part with the spirit herb, but he naturally had no objections to this arrangement. Instead, a faint smile also appeared on his face, and he was just about to say something when Han Li abruptly swept a sleeve through the air, sending a faint azure jade vial flying toward each of the two of them.

Both of them faltered slightly before reflexively spreading open a hand each, conjuring up bursts of light that swept the jade vials into their hands.

Whats this, Brother Han? A hesitant look appeared on the elderly mans face.

Fairy Yue was also looking at Han Li in a surprised manner.

The Nineflame Herb is far too precious for me to accept without offering anything in return. Those vials contain pills that can help even ninth-tier upper race beings improve their cultivation base, so it should be helpful for when the two of you decide to break through your bottlenecks, Han Li explained in a nonchalant manner.

What? Pills that enhance even a ninth-tier upper race beings cultivation base? the elderly man exclaimed before removing the lid of the vial and injecting his spiritual sense into it to inspect its contents. He then took a whiff of the medicinal aroma wafting from the vial, and an ecstatic look appeared on his face.

Fairy Yues expression also changed slightly upon hearing this.

These pills will indeed be very useful to me, but youve just saved our lives, how can I take these pills from you? The elderly man finally calmed down slightly before inspecting the jade vial in his hands in a hesitant manner.

It was a simple task for me to step in there. Compared to the Nineflame Herb, those pills really arent all that significant at all. I dont want to benefit unfairly from anyone, so please accept the pills, Han Li said with a faint smile.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the elderly man accepted the vial with a smile. In that case, Fellow Daoist Yue and I would be more than happy to oblige.

Fairy Yue also examined the contents of the vial before stowing it up her sleeve as she extended words of gratitude toward Han Li.

Following that exchange, the wariness in the elderly mans heart had largely abated, and he looked around before suddenly asking, Brother Han, are you the only one in this area?

I was traveling with two other fellow Daoists, but we encountered some danger a while ago and split up, Han Li replied in a truthful manner. rewebnol.cm

I see, thats quite a pity, the elderly man said as a disappointed look flashed through his eyes, and the same expression was also mirrored on Fairy Yues face.

You seem to be withholding some information, Fellow Daoist Xu! Could it be that theres something that you and Fairy Yue want to do that require many helpers? Han Li asked as he stroked his chin with a hint of a smile on his face.

The elderly man turned to the woman with an inquisitive glance upon hearing this, and Fairy Yue hesitated momentarily before making a decision.

Brother Xu, that place has already been taken by those Rong beings, and our powers wont be enough to fight them off. However, with Brother Hans unfathomable powers, perhaps well have a chance. As such, I think we should tell him about this. If we succeed, well take nothing more than a replica of that golden seal text cultivation art.

The flag-wielding Rong being was quite alarmed by this development, and he immediately laid a hand onto the top of his own head, upon which his coarse green fur erupted through the air as a vast expanse of green light.

However, the silver ruler somehow passed through the green light, but attained a substantial form once it struck the Rong being on the head.

The protective spiritual light around the Rong being posed no impediment to the silver ruler, and his head was smashed open like a watermelon as blood sprayed in all directions.

His headless body then tumbled down from the flying carriage, and a green shadow instantly shot forth from within it.

This was the Rong beings Nascent Soul, and it rushed toward the mirror-wielding Rong being with a horrified look on its face. Save me, Brother Liao!

However, as soon as the words escaped the Nascent Souls mouth, a ruler projection instantly plummeted from above and obliterated it out of existence.

The giant silver ruler then immediately conjured up three identical ruler projections that swept toward the remaining three Rong beings.

The deafening sounds of fierce wings and rumbling thunderclaps rang out, as the ruler projections appeared, and the remaining three Rong beings hurriedly adopted defensive measures in a fit of shock and fury.

A grey veil and a black shield emerged, only for the ruler projections that struck them to immediately disintegrate into specks of silver light.

Those were truly nothing more than illusionary projections.

Both of those Rong beings immediately realized that theyd fallen into a trap, but it was already too late!

The mirror-wielding Rong being had also released a wheel treasure to defend himself against the final ruler projection, but that projection suddenly vanished right in front of the wheel, only to reappear around a foot away from that Rong being before striking his hideous face.

Lightning flashed, and countless arcs of silver lightning erupted from the ruler projection, instantly reducing the Rong being to dust without even sparing his Nascent Soul.

The remaining two Rong beings expressions had darkened significantly. The silver ruler circled around before conjuring up another dozen or so ruler projections that swept toward them, and one of them suddenly yelled, Run! This man is far too powerful for us!

As soon as his voice trailed off, that foreign being stomped a foot down onto the flying carriage, and it hurtled back through the air as a ball of azure light, escaping from the range of the ruler projections after just a few flashes.

The other Rong being also immediately returned to his senses and hurriedly cast an incantation seal onto the monster head carving on the front of the carriage.

The flying carriage shuddered before flapping its wings, and five-colored runes appeared all over its surface as it attempted to flee the scene.

However, right at this moment, a cold voice rang out in the air above the carriage. Dont you think its a little too late to be running now?

As soon as this voice rang out, and a rumbling boom erupted, and a black mountain that was over 1,000 feet in size appeared above the flying carriage in a flash.

There was a humanoid figure standing at the summit of the mountain in a stationary manner, and this man was naturally none other than Han Li!

He had crossed through space and appeared above the carriage atop his Extreme Essencefused Mountain, and the two Rong beings were horrified to see him.

A ferocious look appeared on one of the Rong beings faces as he rubbed his hands together, upon which a layer of peculiar green flames suddenly erupted over his body. The flames then swept upward and transformed into a fiery wyrm that was over 100 feet in length.

The other Rong being let loose a loud cry and his body swelled to around twice its original size. His arms also expanded drastically, and he swept his 10 extremely sharp claws up into the air.

Countless claw projections appeared out of thin air before sweeping upward, but neither of them were naive enough to think that these attacks would be enough to kill Han Li, they were merely praying that the attacks would buy them enough time for them to escape.

Han Li had slain two of their companions in the blink of an eye, and their hearts were now devoid of battle intent, all they wanted to do was to flee for their lives!

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly as he stomped down on the mountain beneath his feet.

Grey light flashed from the Extreme Essencefused Mountain, and it was sent crashing down from above. All of a sudden, the silver runes on its surface lit up, and it abruptly vanished into thin air.

Thus, the fiery wyrm and claw projections struck nothing but empty air, following which a massive black shadow appeared right above the two Rong beings heads in a flash. It was none other than the black mountain, and it came crashing down with devastating force.

However, these two Rong beings were clearly more powerful than their deceased companions, even in the face of the oncoming Extreme Essencefused Mountain, they were still able to just barely abandon the carriage and rush off into opposite directions.

The rhomboid flying carriage was dealt an extremely heavy blow by the Extreme Essencefused Mountain, and it exploded into specks of five-colored spiritual light that faded into nothingness. However, if one were to turn their attention toward the summit of the black mountain now, theyd discover that Han Li was nowhere to be seen.

In the next instant, one of the feeling Rong beings heard a loud thunderclap erupt overhead, and he was very alarmed as he hurriedly raised his black shield, which surged upward as a dark cloud. At the same time, green flames erupted all over his body, forming a fiery barrier that shielded him within.

However, a cold harrumph then rang out beside his ears, following which hundreds of streaks of azure sword Qi came raining down from a winged humanoid figure who had just appeared.

Azure light flashed, and the dark cloud and fiery barrier were almost instantly torn to shreds. The streaks of sword Qi then transformed into sword thread that wove themselves into a giant net.

A cry of anguish and horror rang out as the Rong being released several more treasures in a blink panic, but all of those treasures were sliced into countless segments by the extraordinarily sharp Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, along with the Rong beings body and Nascent Soul.

The other Rong being shuddered upon hearing his companions anguished cry, but he continued to flee as quickly as he could without turning his head even once.

However, he only managed to fly for several thousand feet before spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared up ahead, following which a golden figure emerged right in his path.

The Rong beings expression changed drastically, but he then gritted his teeth, and not only did he not slow down, he accelerated even further as he flipped a hand over to summon a long black blade, while his other hand abruptly expanded in size.

The long blade was slashed through the air in a blue, and a dozen or so black saber projections were unleashed in rapid succession.

At the same time, he reached out with his other hand, and a giant green claw abruptly appeared above the golden figure before crashing downward with black Qi swirling around its fingertips.

Right at this moment, purple runes of different sizes suddenly appeared over the body of the slightly blurry golden figure, immediately following which it became a substantial being with three heads and six arms amid a flash of golden light. It was none other than the Provenance Golden Body.

As Han Li set off in pursuit of the other Rong being using his Thunderstorm Wings, he also released his second Nascent Soul and golden body to pursue the other Rong being.

Black light flashed, and the dozen or so saber projections reached the golden body almost at the exact same time as the giant green claws did.

However, the Provenance Golden Body displayed no intention of taking evasive measures. Instead, a cold look appeared on one of its faces, and a pair of giant golden blades suddenly appeared in two of its hands before it slashed them toward the black saber projections.

Meanwhile, two of its other hands thrust upward, sending countless golden fist projections hurtling toward the huge green claws in a frenzy.

As for its remaining two arms, they were brought together in front of the golden bodys chest, then split apart to reveal a ball of golden light.

Two of the golden bodys heads closed their eyes in unison, following which they began to chant two different incantations that overlapped one another.

The golden ball of light immediately began to revolve at a rapid rate while expanding to around the size of a human head. Furthermore, it was only accelerating in its rotation, forming a mysterious golden vortex.

Bright golden and black light intertwined as the black blade projections struck the golden blades, and they seemed to be evenly matched.

Meanwhile, the giant green claws were almost instantly shattered amid a flash of spiritual light in the face of the devastating barrage of golden fist projections.

However, with that short period of delay, the final Rong beings body blurred, and he suddenly vanished into thin air in a flash.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted over 100 feet behind the golden body, and the Rong being reappeared before continuing in its escape.

However, right at this moment, one of the Provenance Golden Bodys heads suddenly lowered itself before uttering the words Revolving Golden Light.

The golden vortex between two of its hands then suddenly vanished.

Spiritual light then flashed several feet behind the Rong being, following which the golden vortex abruptly appeared. As soon as it emerged, it swelled to around 10 feet in size, and loud thunderclaps rang out from within the vortex alongside the sound of Buddhist chants.

The fleeing Rong being suddenly felt the air tighten around him, upon which he was completely immobilized.

Argh!

He let loose a cry of alarm, yet before he had a chance to unleash any other abilities, he was struck by an irresistible suction force from behind.

His body was then drawn into the vortex behind him in a flash, and following an anguished howl, an earth-shattering boom rang out.

The golden vortex shuddered slightly, following which everything suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, the golden body turned around and ceased its chanting before pointing a finger at the massive vortex.

The golden vortex flashed as it quickly shrank down to its original size, then disappeared amid a dull thump.

The foreign being that had just spoken was naturally enraged by the womans defiance, and he didnt waste any further time with words as he let loose a sharp cry.

A buzzing sound immediately rang out from the four battle carriages before they all converged toward the same carriage, combining as one to form a battle carriage that was several times the size of the original individual carriages.

This carriage was over 100 feet in length and was rhomboid in shape. There was a beast head that resembled a wyrm, but also a python, on the front of the carriage, and as soon as this giant battle carriage appeared, rainbow light flashed in the surrounding area, following which two pairs of thin and long dragonfly-like wings appeared.

The woman and elderly man were both quite alarmed to see this.

Hurry! The elderly man was relatively kind of heart and abruptly cautioned Quer before hurrying forward. The streak of light that he was situated in combined with that of the woman, and their collective speed more than doubled.

Almost at the exact same moment, the battle carriage flapped its four wings, and red light flashed through the eyes of the beastly head, following which it abruptly vanished on the spot.

With the reminder extended toward her by the elderly man, Quer had naturally sensed what was happening behind her, and she was greatly alarmed as white light flashed from her body in an attempt to unleash an acceleration secret technique at the expense of her true essence.

However, it was already too late.

Spatial fluctuations appeared in the air above, following which a burst of azure light abruptly flashed. A burst of unpleasant cackling rang out, and a giant hand that was several tens of feet in size emerged from the azure light before reaching down toward Quer.

Quer wasnt their target, but seeing as they had chased her down, there was certainly no reasons for them let her go.

Quers expression changed drastically as she gritted her teeth before making a hand seal, upon which hundreds of thin blades swept toward the giant hand in a flash.

Hmm?

A slight cry of surprise rang out from within the battle carriage, but the giant hand showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it released a burst of green light from its palm to sweep aside most of the flying blades amid a rumbling boom, while the giant hand continued to descend.

Argh!

Quers face had turned deathly pale as she looked on at the gigantic hand. She knew that her powers were nowhere near enough to ward off this astonishing attack.

In this dire situation, a cold harrumph suddenly rang out from nearby. The harrumph wasnt very loud, but for some reason, it was quite clearly audible to everyone.

Immediately thereafter, silver light flashed, and a massive silver seal that was around an acre in size appeared in mid-air.

The sound of howling wind and rumbling thunder rang out before the giant seal crashed down toward the huge hand.

A resounding boom rang out, and the giant hand was quite massive in itself, but there was no way it could withstand an attack from the huge seal, which was comparable in size to a small mountain.

Thus, the giant hand was instantly reduced to nothingness amid a thunderous explosion.

Whos there? Who dares to oppose our Rong Race?

An enraged roar rang out from within the azure light, and the spiritual light faded to reveal the rhomboid battle carriage with its pairs of transparents wings flapping incessantly.

There were four humanoid figures that were enshrouded entirely in green light standing atop the carriage, and at first glance, they resembled humans, but upon closer inspection, it was quite clear that they were completely different from normal humans.

Not only were their entire bodies covered in coarse green fur, they had sinister jackal-like heads that were quite harrowing to behold.

Seeing as you dared to attack my servant, Ill let you have a taste of my new treasure! A cold male voice rang out, following which a young man with a pair of translucent wings appeared out of thin air.

He raised a hand, and spiritual light flashed as a shimmering silver ruler appeared. This was naturally none other than Han Li, who had virtually instantly arrived on the scene through the power of his Thunderstorm Wings.

The silver seal from earlier was formed by the Heavenly Astral Seal, and with his recent drastic power boost, the treasure was far more powerful than before, thereby allowing it to easily destroy that giant hand.

Han Li had now fully recovered his magic power and had just refined the Chaotic Origin Ruler, so he naturally wasnt fearful in the slightest toward these four foreign beings. Furthermore, the fact that they had attempted to kill Quer had ignited the killing intent in his heart, and he immediately flicked his wrist as the Chaotic Origin Ruler let loose a low ringing sound. Countless ruler projection then appeared before surging forward in a frenzy.

Thank you for saving me, Master!

Hmm? Fellow Daoist Han!

Two different voices sounded in unison, the first of which was Quers elated cry of gratitude, while the other was an expression of surprise from the edlerly man that was fleeing up ahead.

Han Lis expression changed slightly as he cast his gaze toward the distance, where both the woman an the elderly man had already stopped and revealed themselves.

The elderly man was a little familiar, while the woman was instantly recognizable to him. She was none other than the Fairy Yue who had led the other team into the Vast Glacial Realm back in Cloud City.

A hint of surprise also appeared in the womans eyes at the sight of Han Li while the elderly man heaved a long sigh of relief.

In his eyes, even though Han Lis inclusion still wouldnt make them a match for these Rong beings, it significantly increased their chances of survival. Furthermore, he clearly recalled at Han Li was the leader of the other group, so perhaps there were more Heavenly Cloud beings nearby who could lend them some assistance.

Han Li was also rather taken aback, but he merely nodded at the two of them before the ruler projections in front of him hurtled directly toward the four foreign beings.

Boundless silver light surged through the air, creating an extremely astonishing sight to behold.

The four Rong beings on the flying carriage were initially startled by this turn of events before two of them immediately sprang into action.

One of them flipped a hand over to produce a black flag, which he waved through the air to send countless black chains hurtling toward the oncoming ruler projections.

Meanwhile, the other Rong being opened his mouth to expel a green copper mirror that instantly swelled to several feet in size.

Green light flashed from the surface of the mirror, and boundless green flames erupted forth, sweeping through the air in a frenzy.

The other two Rong beings merely appraised Han Li in a cold manner, displaying no intention of attacking. They were clearly of the opinion that their two companions would be more than enough to take down Han Li.

Han Lis lips twitched slightly upon seeing this, and brilliant azure light erupted from his ruler-wielding hand as pure spiritual power gushed into the Chaotic Origin Ruler in a frenzy.

The slightly blurry ruler projections in the air immediately became a lot more substantial amid violent flashes of spiritual light, transforming into silver rulers that were around half a foot in length each with silver arcs of lightning flashing over their surfaces.

A loud rumbling boom rang out, and countless silver rulers rushed into the black chains and green flames before immediately gaining the upper hand.

Hmm? So it seems hes not just some pushover. One of the two foreign beings how hadnt attacked furrowed his brows upon seeing this before sweeping a sleeve toward Han Li, sending a crimson bead flying toward him amid a flash of red light.

The treasure flashed before expending to around the size of a human head. Red runes were surging all over its surface, and fiery clouds began to appear out of thin air.

Han Li looked on from afar as these scenes unfolded before he narrowed his eyes and suddenly reached out with an inky black hand.

A small black mountain that was around 10 feet tall immediately appeared above the huge bead before plummeting downward, and the foreign being who had just summoned the bead was given quite a fright.

This bead was not a treasure to be used in direct clashes with other treasures. The Rong being hurriedly made a hand seal, and the huge red bead swayed before conjuring up a dozen or so identical projections that shot forth in all directions.

Blue light flashed through Han Lis eyes, and he immediately pointed a finger at the small black mountain, upon which it suddenly vanished amid a flash of grey light.

In the next instant, grey light flashed in the air above one of the beads, and the small black mountain reappeared before crashing down like lightning.

A resounding boom rang out as grey and red light intertwined momentarily before the bead was shattered into a fiery cloud.

How dare you break my treasure!

The foreign who had summoned the treasure immediately flew into a thunderous rage as he pointed a finger at Han Li, sending a dozen or so streaks of crimson light hurtling directly toward him.

In the face of this oncoming attack, Han Li merely chuckled coldly before adjusting his Artifact Imprint Technique, and the countless silver rulers that were dominating the black chains and green flames suddenly converged toward a single spot.

A giant ruler that was several tens of feet abruptly appeared, and it was shimmering with silver light.

At this moment, the dozen or so streaks of crimson light had already reached Han Li, and in response, he merely raised his inky-black hand and swept it forward.

A grey light barrier immediately surfaced, and the dozen or so streaks of crimson light were instantly swept up by the light barrier, thereby preventing them from advancing any further and revealing them to be a dozen or so crimson flying daggers.

Almost at the exact same moment, Han Li tightened his fingers around the Chaotic Origin Ruler before swiping it through the air before him.

The giant silver ruler in the distance immediately let loose a long cry that was akin to a dragons roar, then came crashing down toward the flying carriage with devastating might.

The other two Rong beings on the carriage naturally werent going to allow this treasure to fall as it pleased. As such, both of them immediately sprang into action.

The black chains surged through the air before forming a huge black net below the massive ruler, and the mirror that was blasting forth green flames also turned toward the ruler before expelling a huge pillar of green light.

A muffled thump rang out, and the giant ruler was able to easily crash through the green pillar of light like a hot knife through butter.

The two Rong beings who were controlling the treasures were naturally quite taken aback by this, and right at this moment, the final Rong being who had remained silent this entire time suddenly exclaimed, Look out!

He then waved a hand upward, sending a streak of grey sword Qi slashing through the air.

Meanwhile, a silver shadow flashed in that direction, and a slightly blurry giant ruler appeared out of thin air.

A peculiar scene then unfolded.

The grey sword Qi had clearly struck the silver rulers, but the former simply passed through the latter as if it were nothing more than an illusion.

The giant silver ruler then appeared above the flag-wielding Rong being in a flash before crashing down with devastating force.

The ball of golden light then abruptly exploded amid a dull thump, and the silver runes it had released flew toward all parts of the mountain.

Silver light flashed, and the runes vanished into the mountain face before rapidly traversing through the belly of the mountain.

Han Li hovered patiently in mid-air in a completely expressionless manner.

Around 10 minutes later, the disc down below suddenly emitted a ringing sound, following which it began to glow with scintillating golden light.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this before raising a hand, and the disc shuddered before flying upward, appearing over his palm in the blink of an eye.

Han Li glanced at the disc to find that a ball of piercing light had appeared over its surface.

Azure light then flashed from his body as he immediately flew toward the mountain down below, then vanished into it before flying through the belly of the mountain at an incredible speed.

Moments later, light appeared up ahead, and a giant cave emerged down below. There was a silver head-sized ball of light that was hovering at the center of the cave in a completely stationary manner, and it had been formed by the silver runes that had been released by the golden disc earlier.

The azure light faded, and Han Li appeared within the cave. He quickly looked around to discover that there were several winding passageways connected to this cave, and his expression changed slightly before he strode toward one of the passageways.

The inside of the passageway was completely devoid of light, so much so that he couldnt even see his own fingers. However, he then raised a hand, and several white crystals flew out of his sleeve before revolving around his head, illuminating the passageway so that it was as bright as day.

After only making his way through a small section of the passageway, Han Li released hsi spiritual sense toward the bumpy surface of the stone walls around him.

Moments later, his footsteps faltered, and he opened his mouth again to expel a burst of azure light onto the stone wall.

The stone wall was sliced apart like tofu by the sharp streak of sword Qi, and a cave with a diameter of several feet was quickly carved into the stone wall.

Clang!

A strange sound rang out from within the dark cave, and it was particularly audible in this narrow passageway.

A hint of elation appeared on Han Lis face upon hearing this sound, and he made a hand seal before pointing into the cave.

A small azure sword shot forth, puncturing through an unknown piece of purplish-black ore.

This really is the place. Theres quite a bit of this ore here, itll take me a few days if I want to excavate all of it. Han Li raised his hand to withdraw the flying sword before catching the piece of ore in his hand and giving it a thorough inspection.

He naturally wasnt going to remain here and mine the ore himself. He swept a hand over his storage bracelet, and several balls of spiritual light shot forth before revealing themselves to be several puppets of different sizes and forms.

These puppets were all ones that he had refined in the human world, so they were of an extremely low caliber, but they were more than capable of acting as miners.

Han Li then patted the top of his own head to release his second Nascent Soul to supervise the puppets, then unleashed an earth movement technique to rise up to the summit of the mountain.

At this moment, Quer was also flying over to the mountain, and she quickly flew over to him before handing him a storage bracelet that contained tens of thousands of Flying Rainbow Fish demon cores.

Han Li inspected the contents of the storage bracelet and was very pleased with what he saw. Thus, he extended some words of praise toward Quer before carefully stowing the storage bracelet away.

Quer hesitated momentarily before suddenly asking, Master, I can sense that there seem to be a lot of spirit medicines on this island, should I go and pick them?

Spirit medicines? Youre a spirit medicine yourself, so Im sure your instincts are correct. Alright, there arent any powerful beasts in this place, and we have enough time anyway, so you can go and collect the spirit medicines if youd like.Han Li was rather taken aback to hear this, but after a brief moment of contemplation, he allowed Quer to do as she pleased.

Thank you, Master. Ill be going now. The little girl departed in an elated manner, flying toward the other lush mountain as a ball of white light.

Han Li looked on with a smile for a moment before finding a giant rock nearby to take a seat on.

He then swept a sleeve through the air, and a dozen or so formation flags of different colors short forth before vanishing into the surrounding air after just a few flashes.

A five-colored light barrier appeared to encapsulate the entire mountain peak, but it then abruptly vanished in a flash.

From a distance, it didnt seem as if anything in the surrounding area had changed, but Han Li had vanished from sight.

After setting up the restriction, he made a hand seal, and bright golden light erupted from his body, following which a golden figure appeared behind him.

It was none other than the Provenance Projection.

Han Li pointed a finger at the projection, and purple runes immediately flashed over its body, following which it manifested into a golden body that stood in a stationary manner in front of him.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly and inspected the golden body for a long while before suddenly waving a hand toward it.

One of the three heads of the golden body opened its mouth to expel a silver ball of light, within which was the silver ruler that belonged to the deceased golden-horned young man.

This treasure wasnt a Profound Heavenly Treasure, but it had also displayed extraordinary powers and couldnt be looked down on. It was most likely a Divine Spirit Treasure.

However, Han Li hadnt yet had a chance to confirm this, which was why he was bringing it out now for closer inspection.

The silver ruler was drawn into his grasp in a flash, and he stroked the surface of the ruler with his fingers while slowly closing his eyes to seep his spiritual sense into it.

His expression remained placid, and after an indeterminate period of time, he abruptly opened his eyes.

This Chaotic Origin Ruler was indeed a Divine Spirit Treasure, and all he had to do to be able to control this treasure was to cultivate the Artifact Imprint Technique recorded within the treasure.

Azure light flashed from his hand as he injected bursts of pure spiritual power into the ruler, and in the next instant, it let loose a long cry before shuddering as it abruptly expelled a silver light barrier.

Rows of ancient text appeared on the light barrier, and Han Lis eyes flashed as he memorized the Artifact Imprint Technique of the Chaotic Origin Ruler, then flicked his wrist, and the treasure vanished in a flash along with the light barrier.

He then withdrew his golden body as well before making a hand seal and began to cultivate the Chaotic Origin Rulers Artifact Imprint Technique.

Time passed by in the flash, and three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

With Han Lis current cultivation base at the pinnacle of the Spatial Tempering Stage, it naturally didnt require as much time for him to refine this ruler as it did for the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

Within the short span of three days, he successfully cultivated the treasures Artifact Imprint Technique before fusing it into his own body.

During this time, the puppets down below had also almost finished mining the unknown ore in the mountain, and he would complete his mission after about another day.

Quer had also collected many spirit medicines from the island during this time, some of which were extremely rare in the Spirit Realm, this was quite a pleasant surprise.

After exploring for a day or two without encountering any hazards, Quer had become a lot braver and had begun collecting some of the extremely obscure spirit medicines growing on the nearby lakebed.

Han Li had been at a critical juncture in his cultivation of the Artifact Imprint Technique at the time, so he had only extended some words of caution toward her via voice transmission before letting her go.

However, had naturally left a wisp of his spiritual sense on her in case any mishaps were to occur.

As it turned out, his cautionary measures were warranted, and around half a day after he had finished cultivating the Artifact Imprint Technique, he suddenly sensed something while he was meditating, and a cold expression appeared on his face.

All of a sudden, he flew out of the restriction as a streak of azure light before hurtling toward a certain direction, vanishing into the distance after just a few flashes.

Meanwhile, there were three streaks of light flying through the air in an extremely panicked manner several hundred kilometers away from the island.

One of them was a ball of white light that contained a small figure, it was none other than Quer.

Several kilometers behind them were four strange triangular battle carriages that were giving chase in hot pursuit.

Each carriage was only several tens of feet in size, and their surfaces were riddled with patches of green rust. The spiritual light emanating from them was also quite dim, and they even seemed to be somewhat damaged. However, they were extraordinarily fast and could cover a distance of several hundred feet with each and every flash.

Quer was quite adept in movement techniques, but she was slowly being chased down.

As for the other two people with her, they were even faster and could just barely maintain the distance between themselves and the flying carriages.

Kukuku, Fellow Daoist Yue, youve already expended far too much energy during the last battle, how far do you think youll be able to go even if you burn your latent potential like this? If you know whats good for you, then youll hand over the Nineflame Herb you have, and I can grant you a painless death. A coarse and unpleasant male voice rang out from within one of the flying carriages, and the voice was tinged with a hint of impatience.

Hmph, Id sooner destroy this spirit herb than hand it over to you! A cold female voice sounded in response from a streak of blue light that was flying up ahead.

Dont waste your time talking to them, Fairy Yue. They immediately stabbed us in the back after we secure that treasure, we cant place our trust in them. The enraged voice of an elderly man rang out from within a streak of grey light.

Dont worry, Fellow Daoist Xu, it would be downright pitiful if I were to trust them again after what they did, the woman replied.

Almost at the exact same moment, she transmitted her voice to the elderly man. Fellow Daoist Xu, are you sure this is the right way? We wont be able to last much longer like this.

It should be correct. The treasure tells me that there should be a Heavenly Cloud being nearby in this direction. That little girl behind us has a rather strange aura, shes most likely a spirit beast that was brought here by that Heavenly Cloud being. Theyve planted tracking marks on us, so we have no choice but to make this final gamble, the elderly man replied something else in a loud voice while transmitting his voice to the woman as his actual response.

The woman heaved a faint sigh upon hearing this and fell silent as she flew on ahead as quickly as she could.

Of course, these Flying Rainbow Fish were indeed quite powerful, but the value of their inner cores far outweighed their powers, which was why they had been hunted into extinction so quickly by powerful beings in primordial times.

Han Li was truly very surprised to encounter these strange fish here, and even though the records on the ancient tome had stated that the venom of these fish was extremely fearsome, Han Li was rather skeptical about these claims.

Thus, he immediately waved a hand through the air, and a grey light barrier appeared before him. He then flipped over his other hand, and a burst of five-colored flames surged forth.

The two intertwined with one another to form a light barrier that shielded him within, and immediately thereafter, he swept a sleeve through the air, upon which several tens of small azure swords shot forth in a frenzy.

The azure swords circled around before splitting up into several hundred streaks of shimmering azure sword Qi that were flashing with a cold light.

One of the Flying Rainbow Fish let loose a sharp screech upon seeing this, and all of the flying fish converged toward Han Li in a menacing manner as streaks of light. reeebnvel.com

Slash!

Han Lis expression darkened as he made a hand seal while letting loose a low cry, and the hundreds of streaks of sword Qi shuddered before erupting forth in all directions, sweeping through the school of fish as thick pillars of azure light.

All of the flying fish in the path of the streaks of sword Qi were sliced in half, and their bodies plummeted from the sky amid a torrential downpour of green blood.

Over 1,000 of the flying fish were slain in the blink of an eye, and a strong stench of blood and gore wafted through the surrounding air.

The Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were extremely sharp, but there was a limit to their numbers, so they couldnt kill all of the flying fish at once. As such, there were still some flying fish that managed to get closer to Han Li.

All of them let loose sharp screeches before expelling fist-sized balls of green liquid out of their mouths that hurtled directly toward Han Li.

Han Lis expression changed slightly as he switched to another hand seal, and all of the streaks of surrounding sword Qi abruptly converged around him before transforming into massive azure lotus flowers.

The azure lotus flowers rotated slowly in mid-air, completely shielding Han Li within a barrier of sword Qi.

Han Li was well aware that as long as he could keep the poison attacks of these Flying Rainbow Fish at bay, it wouldnt be impossible for him to eradicate all of them at once.

After all, Flying Rainbow Fish relied extremely heavily on their poison. Even though his cultivation base had improved significantly, he was still rather unsure of his ability to withstand this legendary poison.

However, he would regret it if he left without at least giving it a try. It was said that those rainbow cores had extraordinary effects and would be extremely beneficial to his Gold Devouring Beetles. If he could evolve the Gold Devouring Beetles once again, then this was a risk that was worth taking.

After all, he had several powerful treasures and abilities that would allow him to escape if things were to go awry.

At this moment, the outermost layer of giant azure lotus flowers had already bloomed, and the azure flower petals formed layers of azure sword barriers that were extremely vibrant to behold.

The green liquid struck the seemingly airtight barrier formed by the lotus petals, and plumes of smoke began to rise up into the air, following which holes of different sizes appeared on the barrier.

The azure sword barrier was quickly riddled with holes, and it became quite evident that the poison of these Flying Rainbow Fish could easily melt through even the sword Qi formed by the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. This was quite an incredible discovery to Han Li, and his heart jolted with shock, but his expression remained calm and collected.

The azure sword barrier had been damaged, but his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were able to almost instantly recover.

Right at this moment, Han Li made a hand seal before releasing a burst of five-colored flames from his pristine white hand, and as soon as the green liquid came into contact with the five-colored flames, the latter was also melted away. A grim look finally appeared in Han Lis eyes as he switched to another hand seal yet again, and five-colored flames flashed before beginning to rotate at an incredible speed.

The flames formed a five-colored tornado that repelled many of the oncoming balls of green liquid, but there were simply too many Flying Rainbow Fish in the surrounding area, and there seemed to be no end to the poisonous liquid that they were expelling.

The five-colored flames had been unleashed to their full power, but they were still whittled down into nothingness, revealing the innermost grey light barrier around Han Li.

The green liquid gushed forth, and a loud sizzling sound rang out.

Han Lis eyelids twitched violently, and he abruptly let loose a cold harrumph as he opened his mouth to expel a fist-sized ball of silver flames.

The silver flames glowed with scintillating light before expanding to around 10 feet in size, then transformed into a huge Fire Raven.

Go! Han Li pointed forward without any hesitation, and the silver Fire Raven spread its wings and raised its head before letting loose a loud cry.

It then flew directly out of the grey light barrier, and all of the green liquid that struck its body instantly evaporated into mist of different colors as if it had met the bane of its existence, leaving the massive Fire Raven completely unscathed.

Han Li was ecstatic to see this, yet right at this moment, a portion of the Flying Rainbow Fish suddenly let loose strange cries in unison, following which all of them abruptly expelled their poisonous green liquid toward the same point in the sky above.

A giant green python that was comprised entirely of poisonous liquid instantly took shape, and it was around 70 to 80 feet in length.

It was an extremely life-like python, and it arched its body before pouncing directly toward the huge Fire Raven, leaving a rank odor in its wake.

The Fire Raven naturally wasnt going to back down, it flapped its wings a few times before opening its mouth again to expel a burst of piercing white flames.

This was the Golden Crow True Flames that the Spirit Engulfing Fire Raven had devoured in the Golden Devil Mountain Ranges.

As soon as the flames came into contact with the poison python, the former swelled drastically as if oil had been poured onto it, and the giant python was instantly inundated by a scorching sea of fire, then quickly reduced to nothingness amid an anguished wail.

Right at this moment, Han Li let loose another loud cry before making a hand seal and pointing a finger at the silver Fire Raven.

The massive Fire Ravens silver feathers stirred before all of them transformed into a white color.

In the next instant, an earth-shattering boom erupted as the Fire Raven self-detonated, sending countless thin threads of flames hurtling forth in all directions.

All of the balls of green liquid in the air were instantly punctured by their fire threads before erupting into flames.

All of the poison attacks were eradicated in the blink of an eye, and the grey light barrier, which had already been severely ravaged, quickly recovered to its former state amid a flash of grey light.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Li also finally sprang into action. He pointed his 10 fingers forward in rapid succession, and bursts of azure light flashed as the azure flying swords that had already vanished suddenly reappeared.

All of them then transformed into lethal sword Qi again before hurtling forth in all directions.

The Flying Rainbow Fish were still relentlessly blasting forth balls of green poison, but the countless white fire threads in the air completely nullified this threat.

Without the impediment posed by the poisonous liquid, the hundreds of streaks of sword Qi were completely unstoppable. The more powerful Flying Rainbow Fish could still survive for an attack or two, but the low-grade Flying Rainbow Fish were quickly hacked into one dismembered carcass after another.

Thus, with the combination of the fire threads and sword Qi, all of the Flying Rainbow, of which there had been around 40,000 to 50,000, were slain by Han Li.

When he waved a hand through the air to withdraw his swords and Fire Raven, the surrounding air was already completely empty. However, as he cast his gaze down below, he was rather taken aback to find that aside from the dismembered carcasses of the Flying Rainbow Fish, there were also many other dead fish that had floated to the surface with their bellies facing the heavens.

The nearby surface of the lake was entirely filled with white fish bellies, creating an extremely peculiar sight to behold.

Han Li inspected the slightly green water of the lake, and he immediately realized why this had happened.

Most of the poison expelled by the Flying Rainbow Fish had been eradicated by the Golden Crow True Flames, but a lot of it had been repelled earlier and fell into the lake down below, thereby killing a large number of nearby fish.

Even though he was already somewhat aware of how potent this poison was, the scenes on the lake were still quite harrowing for him to behold.

If it werent for the fact that he had cultivated the Spirit Engulfing True Flames, he definitely wouldnt have been able to take care of these fish so easily. He wouldve most likely had to release his Gold Devouring Beetles at the expense of his spiritual sense or use his Profound Heavenly blade segment again, both of which wouldve severely weakened him.

As such, he was naturally reluctant to adopt those methods unless he had to.

A contemplative look appeared in Han Lis eyes, and he suddenly swept a sleeve downward to release a ball of white light, which transformed into an adorable little girl in a flash.

Quer pays her respects to her master! What are your instructions, Master?

As soon as Quer appeared, she extended a curtsey toward Han Li with a wide smile on her face.

Go and extract the inner cores out of the heads of all of those fish, I made sure to preserve their heads when I killed them earlier. Come and find me on the island once youre done, Han Li instructed.

Yes!

Quer immediately nodded before raising a hand, upon which countless thin blades surged forth from her back, then hurtled down toward the surface of the lake.

Quer herself also began to slowly drift down toward the lake while Han Li flew toward the island in the distance as a streak of azure light.

A short while later, the azure light faded, and Han Li appeared above the tall grey mountain.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he cast his gaze toward the mountain, and only after a long while did he abruptly flip a hand over to produce a shimmering golden disc.

This was a treasure that had been given to him by the Stone Cocoon Race prior to his journey, and he raised an eyebrow as he opened his mouth to expel a ball of azure Qi onto the disc.

The azure Qi vanished into the disc in a flash, following which he raised his other hand and cast a white incantation seal onto the treasure as well.

A startling turn of events immediately unfolded.

The golden disc flashed with golden light and emitted a loud ringing sound while releasing a series of silver runes.

The disc then shuddered before escaping Han Lis grasp and hurtling toward the mountain down below as a ball of golden light.

Even though Han Li couldnt see any apparent changes in the Leopard Kirin Beast, the fact that he was sensing a threat from it naturally meant that it had definitely undergone some kind of transformation.

Unfortunately, he didnt have time to carefully analyze the beast, and he would have to wait until he left the Vast Glacial Realm before conducting a thorough examination.

With that in mind, Han Li issued the Leopard Kirin Beast an instruction using his spiritual sense, then sat down with his legs crossed and began to meditate.

He hadnt recovered much of his magic power to begin with, and after that battle with the golden-horned Jiao Chi being, he was almost completely spent. Hence, Han Li stayed in the tree hollow for seven days, and only then did he manage to recover close to 90% of his magic power. freeebnovel.com

He had naturally intended to fully recover all of his magic power before continuing in his journey, but at around noon of the eighth day, the Leopard Kirin Beast suddenly let loose a low snarl, immediately jerking Han Li out of his meditative state.

His eyes abruptly sprang open, and he could sense chaotic spiritual Qi fluctuations surging through the nearby area. Furthermore, there were faint explosions ringing out in the extremely far distance, and it seemed that someone was engaged in battle in the air above.

Han Li immediately released his spiritual sense out of the tree hollow without any hesitation, and a peculiar look appeared on his face as he discovered that there were two ferocious beasts, one large and one small, engaged in battle tens of thousands of feet in the air above.

As they battled, the larger of the two beasts was pursuing the smaller beast, the latter of which was a beast that was only around 10 feet in size with shimmering golden fur and a pair of inky-black eyes.

This was none other than the Dark Beast Monarch that Han Li had seen earlier in the Dark Beast Forest, the very same one that was being hunted down by its own brethren. This Dark Beast Monarch was now in an even sorrier state. Not only were there charred sections on its body that were devoid of fur and skin, most of its thin and long tail had somehow been severed.

Even so, it was still just as ferocious as ever, relentlessly blasting golden blades of wind toward its pursuer as it fled up ahead as a golden streak of light.

As soon as the golden blades of wind erupted from its mouth, they extended to several feet in size, then covered a distance of several hundred feet in a flash before crashing downward with vicious force.

However, the larger of the two beasts completely disregarded the golden blades of wind, relying on the spiritual light that was glowing around it to repel these attacks. Its defensive abilities were truly astonishing!

This beast was over 100 feet in length, and it was a strange beast with the body of a wyrm and the head of a pig. Its head was snowy white while its body was of a shimmering blue color, and its aura was even more powerful than that of the Dark Beast Monarch, so it was no wonder that the latter was fleeing from it.

Han Li stowed the Leopard Kirin Beast up his sleeve, and azure light flashed from his body as he held his breath. The two beasts had most of their attention focused on one another, so neither of them noticed Han Li lurking down below.

Moments later, the two of them vanished into the distance, and only then did Han Li withdraw the azure light around him as he furrowed his brows slightly.

Why did that Dark Beast Monarch come all the way here?

He was naturally a little perplexed, but with his current powers, he certainly wasnt fearful of those two beasts. However, he naturally wasnt eager to draw unnecessary trouble to himself, either, which was why he chose to remain hidden.

The appearance of the Dark Beast Monarch was rather abrupt and surprising, but it didnt have anything to do with him, so he didnt think much of it. Even so, he decided it was best to leave this place after that disturbance.

After all, the remnant auras left behind by the two beasts as they passed through this area was quite powerful, and it could easily attract nearby beasts to the area.

Thankfully, the two beasts had rushed off in a different direction from the one he was planning to go, so he wasnt overly concerned. Thus, after withdrawing the formation flags at the opening of the tree hollow, he flew out from within as a streak of azure light and continued on his journey.

As he flew through the air, he summoned a top-grade spirit stone in each hand to continue to replenish his magic power, and at this rate, it wouldnt be long before he fully recovered his magic power even without seated meditation.

Han Li traveled day and night for an entire month straight, encountering only a few foolish low-grade beasts along the way that dared to oppose him, all of which were naturally easily taken care of, and he was naturally quite elated by his good fortune.

On this day, Han Li caught sight of a gigantic lake with no end in sight in the distance. The surface of the lake was as blue as the sea, and there was not a single cloud in sight, creating a captivating sight to behold.

A faint smile appeared on Han Lis face at the sight of this lake, and the same time, he carefully released his spiritual sense toward the lake. If he werent mistaken, he would be reaching his destination soon.

Moments later, he withdrew his spiritual sense and began to fly over the lake.

Several hours later, a hint of surprise had appeared on Han Lis face. This lake was far more massive than he had originally envisioned, and even after flying for so long at his incredible speed, there was still no end to the lake in sight.

If it werent for the fact that all of the correct landmarks had appeared along the way, he wouldve most likely been led into believing that he had accidentally stumbled upon an unknown sea.

What was even more unsettling to Han Li was during these past few hours, he detected barely any beasts in the lake aside from some ordinary fish. The few lake beasts that he did encounter were all low-grade beasts that were very adept at concealing themselves, and all of them were hidden in a completely stationary manner on the lakebed.

If it werent for his powerful spiritual sense, it wouldve been very difficult for him to detect them.

A hint of wariness began to appear in Han Lis eyes, and many thoughts also quickly flashed through his mind.

This was not an unfamiliar scenario to him, it was most likely the case that there was an extremely powerful beast in the lake that had startled all of the other low-grade beasts away.

The Stone Cocoon Race had told him that this area was very safe and devoid of powerful beasts, but that was only the case on the last occasion that the Vast Glacial Realm had opened. So many years had passed since then that it wouldnt be any surprise to Han Li if a powerful beast had taken over this area.

With that in mind, he became rather hesitant. Was it really worth taking this risk to secure the tool refinement materials for the Stone Cocoon Race?

After all, even if he didnt make this trip, Duan Tianren had assured him that he would help Han Li gain access to the super teleportation formation. With his lofty status in the Vast Glacial Realm, he most likely wouldnt lie about something like this. However, there was always a possibility.

Furthermore, he had already traveled so long to get here, and he was rather reluctant to simply turn back after coming this far.

Thus, an indecisive look appeared in his eyes, and he gradually began to decelerate.

Right at this moment, a black spot appeared in the distance, and it expanded further and further in Han Lis field of view before revealing itself to be a massive island.

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he stopped in mid-air as he looked on from afar.

This island appeared to be close to 1,000 kilometers in size, and there were two mountains on the island, one tall and one short, that were situated next to and connected to one another.

The taller mountain was over 100,000 feet tall and was completely grey with most of the mountain completely devoid of any greenery. The shorter of the two mountains was around 30,000 to 40,000 feet tall, and it was filled with lush greenery.

Looks like this is the place, Han Li murmured to himself. His gaze quickly fell upon the grey mountain, and he appraised it in an intent manner. The shape of the island was virtually completely identical with the one on the map, and the precious material requested by the Stone Cocoon Race was a type of unique ore that could only be found on the tall grey mountain.

This ore could only be sourced in the Vast Glacial Realm, and it seemed to be quite important to the Stone Cocoon Race.

Just as Han Li was inspecting the island, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly swept a sleeve through the air to send a small azure sword hurtling forth in a flash.

Almost at the exact same moment, a pillar of water suddenly erupted from the placid mirror-like surface of the lake before hurtling directly toward Han Li.

Azure light flashed, and the pillar of water was parted by the streak of sword Qi.

A strange cry rang out, and a strange fish that was concealed within the pillar of water was also sliced in half by the sword Qi, sending green blood raining down from above.

Han Li lowered his head, and blue light flashed through his eyes as he appraised this strange fish to find that it was only around a foot in length with a green body and a pair of wings on its back.

Upon closer inspection, Han Li could see that its head resembled that of a venomous snake, and there were a pair of claws on its abdomen that were so thin that they were barely visible.

Han Lis eyelids twitched, and he was suddenly struck by the feeling that he had heard of this type of strange fish from somewhere. However, he was unable to immediately recall the exact details.

All of a sudden, an alarming turn of events unfolded. As soon as the carcass of the strange fish fell into the lake, a myriad of loud cries suddenly rang out within a radius of several feet.

Countless pillars of water erupted from the lake before revealing a series of the same strange fish of different sizes, all of which were hovering in mid-air and appraised Han Li with completely expressionless eyes.

These fish were completely identical to the one that he had just slain, except these ones were shimmering with spiritual light of all types of different colors.

Flying Rainbow Fish! Han Li exclaimed as he finally recalled the origin of these strange fish.

Back when he was in the holy city of the Tian Peng Race, he had seen records regarding this fish by chance in a very ancient tome.

These strange fish had a very pleasant name, but in ancient times, they were extremely polarizing creatures that were both loved and hated by foreign beings that dwelled in the sea.

These foreign beings loved these strange fish as their inner core was the main ingredient for an extremely rare type of ancient pill that was known as the Rainbow Pill. Rainbow Pills were special pills that were specifically fed to primordial spirit insects, and it was said that consumption of these pills would allow the spirit insects to mature in advance, and that even mature spirit insects that took them had a certain probability of evolving once again.

However, what was hated about these strange fish was that not only are they extremely poisonous, the venom they blasted was virtually indefensible, and they always dwelled in large schools of at least several thousands.

If someone were to encounter a school of these fish while traveling alone, they were as good as dead unless they possessed some special abilities.

However, these strange fish had already gone extinct in ancient times, and records of them only existed in some ancient tomes.

Never did Han Li think that he would encounter these strange fish here in the Vast Glacial Realm, and at the same time, he finally understood why all of the high-grade beasts in this lake had disappeared, they mustve either been devoured by these fish or fled in horror.

However, in the instant that the body began to fall, brilliant crimson light erupted, and it suddenly exploded amid a resounding boom.

Blood began to rain down from above as an extremely faint shadow shot forth in a flash toward the small white bell in a wraith-like manner.

It was none other than the young mans Nascent Soul!

He was naturally aware that after losing his physical body, it would be next to impossible for his Nascent Soul to escape from Han Li on its own. As such, the Nascent Soul immediately tried to seek refuge in the small bell, hoping to use the bells abilities to help it escape.

In the face of the oncoming blood arrow, the giant ape made no attempt to evade. Instead, a ferocious look flashed through its eyes, and its chest bulged before it let loose a devastating roar.

The roar was like a culmination of countless thunderclaps, causing the surrounding sky to ring violently. Soundwaves swept through the space up ahead, causing it to twist and warp as countless white marks appeared in the air.

The giant apes roar alone had shattered the surrounding space, and that was sufficient testament to its enormous power.

The blood rain was instantly reduced to nothingness, and the young mans Nascent Soul hadnt had a chance to escape out of the range of the roar yet. It only had a chance to let loose a howl of anguish before it was also completely destroyed, and much to Han Lis surprise, the small white bell also abruptly self-detonated amid a flash of white light in the instant that the young mans Nascent Soul was destroyed.

However, the treasures self-detonation didnt release any power, and it merely vanished as countless specks of white light.

Blue light flashed through the giant apes eyes upon seeing this, and it immediately vanished into space without any hesitation.

In the next instant, the giant ape appeared in the air above the giant white python, which was still battling the six-pawed lizard, and its fists rained down from above like a torrential storm.

The poor lizard was also a mid-Spatial Tempering Stage being, but in the face of the giant apes attacks, it was pulverized into mincemeat without being able to offer any resistance. Even its demon core was gouged out of its body in the end, and the demon soul that escaped from its pulverized body was devoured by the white python.

Now that the final enemy had also been slain, golden light immediately flashed around the giant apes body, and it instantly shrank back down into its human form.

Han Li then turned toward the spot where the small white bell had just vanished with a contemplative look in his eyes.

…

Just as the small bell had self-detonated within the Vast Glacial Realm, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from a pavilion within a certain mysterious palace in the Spirit Realm, which was surrounded by layers of restrictions.

Impossible!

The voice was filled with shock and fury, and there were several golden armored warriors standing at the entrance to the pavilion, but they remained completely expressionless, as if they hadnt even heard the loud cry that had just rung out from within the pavilion.

There were three Jiao Chi beings in different forms on a higher level of the pavilion, and all of them were appraising a massive white bell on a green jade table with grim expressions on their faces.

The one who had let loose the cry of surprise was a middle-aged beauty who appeared to be in her thirties. She had a pair of small green horns on her head, and her hand was covering her mouth as an enraged look flashed through her eyes.

The giant bell on the table was over 10 feet tall, and aside from its size, it was completely identical to the small bell used by the golden-horned young man.

On the ground beneath the table, there were five shimmering golden miniature formations, and four of the formations were completely empty with only a white ball of light hovering above the formation that was closest to the giant bell.

The white light and the giant bell were flashing in unison as if in resonance with one another.

A Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact has been destroyed, and even the divine bell true spirit that was the main material of holy artifact has returned of its own accord! It seems that the disciple wielding this Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact has most definitely perished in the Vast Glacial Realm, the middle-aged beauty murmured.

However, a white-robed old man with an azure mark on his forehead remained completely unflustered, and he stroked his beard as he said, Whats so remarkable about that? There are countless powerful beings who are sent into the Vast Glacial Realm every time it opens, and its far from impossible for those disciples to encounter a few powerful opponents or power beasts within the Vast Glacial Realm.

I beg to differ, Brother Shi Xin. The disciples who are carrying Profound Heavenly Holy Artifacts that are replicas of this Heavenbending Bell should be able to save themselves even against holy-grade opponents. On top of that, we made it extremely clear to them that all groups had to travel as a single unit at all times. I cant think of anything in the Vast Glacial Realm that can kill a core disciple with a Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact when there are so many people protecting them. On top of that, its been half a year since they entered the Vast Glacial Realm, so no matter how far away they initially were from their destination, they shouldve reached it and begun to set things into motions now, a blue-robed middle-aged man said with a faint smile.

The elderly man fell into a contemplative silence upon hearing this.

The middle-aged woman calmed herself down before musing in a cold voice, Regardless of how that core disciple perished, that group of disciples has lost their Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact, which means that theyve lost their opportunity to obtain that thing. This will have a significant impact on our plan.

Its alright, that thing was split up into a total of five segments, as long as the other four groups succeed, we can just secure the final segment when the Vast Glacial Realm opens next, and well still be able to enact our plan, the middle-aged man said.

Im just afraid that something will happen to the other groups as well. Its not a disaster if we miss one segment, but if we miss out on more than that, then well be in big trouble! the elderly man mused in a slow voice.

Surely we cant be plagued by that much misfortune. Even if that does happen, it simply means that its not yet time for our race to rise into the ascendancy, so theres nothing to complain about, the middle-aged man replied with a smile.

That is indeed true, but weve used a lot of our races precious materials and even had to use this Heavenbending Bell to refine those Profound Heavenly Holy Artifacts, it would be quite a waste if we cant achieve our objective. Those holy artifacts are all temporary treasures that were specifically refined to target those things, after all. Even though they arent less powerful than true Profound Heavenly Holy Artifacts, theyll disintegrate on their own in a year. We were the ones who proposed this plan, so if we dont reap the desired rewards, well have a hard time explaining ourselves to those old geezers, the elderly man said with furrowed brows.

Whats there to explain? Have you two forgotten that our plan consists of killing two birds with one stone to begin within? We may have failed in our plan for the Vast Glacial Realm, but theres a very good chance of success for our project in this realm, the middle-aged beauty said as a cold light flashed through her eyes.

That is indeed true. Its about time we ended this battle against the Heavenly Cloud Races. The middle-aged man and elderly man exchanged a glance, and both of them began to chuckle.

The middle-aged beauty didnt say anything further, and she pointed a finger toward the white ball of light hovering above the golden formation. The white ball of light immediately let loose a delightful ringing sound before drifting over to the giant bell and vanishing into it in a flash.

The giant bell then began to chime as layers of silver runes appeared over its surface.

…

Han Li was naturally unaware of the fact that he had unintentionally foiled one of the plans of the Jiao Chi Race by killing the golden-horned young man.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the recollection of that final punch that he had unleashed in his giant ape form to kill his opponent.

It was quite clear that his 12 Awakening Transformations could become more powerful as he did. Now that he had reached the late-Spatial Tempering Stage, this ability was finally beginning to display its true power.

In his giant ape form, his body and spiritual sense were enhanced to such an extent that he was struck by an impulsive urge to seek out a Body Integration Stage being and engage them in battle.

Thankfully, his mental fortitude had also been bolstered following his ordeal in the illusionary realm of that starry ski diagram, and that allowed him to maintain spiritual equilibrium, as well as control over his own emotions and impulses.

On top of that, he was also quite disappointed by the abrupt disappearance of the white bell. That Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact possessed some extraordinary abilities, and securing it would undoubtedly have given him a significant power boost.

However, he couldnt do anything now that the treasure had disappeared, so he could take the treasures that the young man had left behind before flying away as a streak of azure light.

Not long after that, Han Li appeared tens of thousands of kilometers away, and as he flew through the air, he began to carefully consider what he was going to do next.

He had already obtained the treasures requested by Duan Tianren and Cai Liuying with the assistance of Liu Shuier and Shi Kun, but he still hadnt yet secured the tool refinement materials he had promised to the Stone Cocoon Race.

Duan Tianren had told him that this wouldnt be an issue as long as he could secure the treasures within the restriction, but he didnt want the Stone Cocoon Race to be able to use this as an excuse to prevent him from being able to use the super teleportation formation.

Thus, after considering where the ore was situated and how much time he had left, he decided that he still had enough time to secure the material. However, prior to this, he had to recover his lost magic power first.

The Vast Glacial Realm was an extremely perilous place, and he didnt dare to grow complacent in the slightest despite his drastic cultivation base improvement.

Thus, after formulating a plan, Han Li immediately changed directions and flew into the distance.

Close to half a day later, Han Li stopped in the air above an ordinary-looking small forest.

He circled around in the air for a while with blue light flashing within his eyes, and after ascertaining that there were no potential hazards nearby, he descended into the forest as a streak of azure light.

He then found an enormous tree and stepped into a hollow at the foot of the tree before raising his hand to release several formation flags. The flags disappeared at the entrance to the hollow, forming a simple concealment formation that hid the hollow from view.

After that, he swept a sleeve through the air, and a streak of yellow light flew out before revealing itself to be a small furry beast.

It was none other than his Leopard Kirin Beast.

After consuming the demon cores of the Three-eyed Dark Beasts, the spirit beast had been hibernating in the spirit beast bracelet this entire time, and it seemed to have only awakened not long ago.

Even though it had already refined the demon cores, its outward appearance didnt seem to have changed much. The only noticeable change was that some inky-black patterns had appeared over its body, and on top of that, its aura had now also become slightly different striking even Han Li with a slight sense of peril.

This naturally made Han Li rather intrigued.

After destroying all of the flying swords with a single strike, the golden-horned young man displayed no intention to stop. The small white bell chimed twice more, and white ripples surged forth again.

At the same time, the projection behind him brandished the two treasures in its hands, and three-colored light erupted forth along with the fiery cloud.

Meanwhile, a sinister look appeared on the young mans face, and he opened his mouth to expel a burst of dense black Qi that began to revolve around his body.

Harrowing ghostly howls rang out, and countless faint green threads that were emitting an overwhelming stench appeared within the black Qi.

On this occasion, the golden-horned young man was unleashing several types of abilities at once, clearly with the intention of killing Han Li in one fell swoop.

Han Lis heart also jolted upon seeing this. He wasnt particularly concerned about the other attacks, but the spatial attacks being unleashed by that small white bell were quite worrying.

However, due to his fact that his magic power hadnt completely recovered, he had no intention of prolonging this battle. As such, he immediately made a decision for how he was going to proceed, and bright purplish-golden light suddenly erupted from his golden body at his behest.

Purple runes fluttered throughout the golden spiritual light as one of the golden bodys arms blurred before making a grabbing motion to summon a golden blade segment.

The blade segment let loose a loud ringing sound, and all of the worlds origin Qi in a radius of several kilometers converged in a frenzy as countless five-colored streaks of light as if they had been summoned to this place. The worlds origin Qi formed a massive five-colored light barrier that obscured most of the entire sky, and only in the Vast Glacial Realm would there be such an astonishing amount of worlds origin Qi.

The enormous spiritual Qi imbued within the light barrier came as quite a shock to the young man, yet before he had a chance to react, spiritual light began to swirl around the golden body while golden light was injected into the golden blade segment along its arm in a frenzy.

After just a few flashes, the 20-feet-tall golden body grew noticeably shorter, and golden light flashed violently from the blade segment before it blurred and transformed into a complete blade.

The golden bodys blade-wielding arm shuddered, and the clear ringing sound being released by the golden blade abruptly ceased. Meanwhile, the five-colored light barrier in the air descended from above before surging into the golden blade.

The blade was like a bottomless pit that absorbed the entire light barrier within the span of just a few breaths, and it elongated from around a foot in length around 10 feet. The runes on its surface flashed, and it was slashed through the air in a completely soundless manner.

A streak of golden light erupted from the golden blade, and it was initially only several feet in length, but it transformed into a boundless golden wave that swept toward the young man in a flash.

The young man was quite stunned by the power of the golden wave, but at this point, there was no way he could try and negotiate a truce with Han Li. As such, he let loose a sharp cry as he pointed a finger in Han Lis direction in a solemn manner.

The white ripples, fiery cloud, three-colored light, and black Qi immediately swept toward the giant golden wave at his behest.

The fiery cloud, black Qi, and three-colored light crashed into the golden wave amid a resounding boom, but they were instantly vanquished without being able to last even a single second.

However, the white ripples managed to hold their own against the golden light, and a string of explosions rang out as the white and golden light intertwined in a tense impasse.

Thats a Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact! The young man had suspected whether this was the case, but now that the notion had been confirmed, his heart immediately sank.

He had falsely identified the Profound Heavenly blade segment as a treasure of the same caliber as the small bell. But then again, that wasnt all that preposterous of a comparison. From a pure power perspective, the incomplete blade segment was indeed quite similar to a Profound Heavenly Holy Artifact in that it was only able to emulate and unleash part of a Profound Heavenly Treasures abilities.

At this moment, the young man flicked his wrist and tossed the small white bell into the air before flicking his fingers toward it.

The bell chimed several times in succession, and crimson light began to appear over the young mans fingers. Furthermore, his face paled progressively with each and every flick, and after the bell had chimed seven or eight times, the young mans face was completely devoid of color.

It was quite clear that the small bell required far more energy to fuel than the average person could imagine. Even though this young man was at the pinnacle of the Spatial Tempering Stage, he was still clearly struggling after just a few flicks.

However, the effect produced by the ringing of the bell was extremely alarming. In the instant that Han Li heard it chime for the first time, his ears immediately began to ring, and the space around him blurred while his body was almost dragged into space by some kind of power of laws.

He was naturally given quite a fright by this sudden development, but he immediately donned his suit of black devilish armor, which released layers of black runes that revolved around him before exploding one after another.

Bursts of fierce black winds instantly took shape, forming a burst of enormous invisible power around him that shielded him within.

The power of laws was extremely troublesome to deal with, but it could only make those black winds warp and twist without being able to reach Han Li.

However, the bell then chimed for the second time, and the black winds were completely vanquished, unable to withstand the power of laws any longer.

As the bell chimed for the second time, piercing black light abruptly erupted from Han Lis devilish armor, and the space near the black light blurred as bursts of buzzing sounds rang out.

The power of laws was acting directly upon the suit of Heavenly Devilish Armor, causing the black light to sway unsteadily.

Han Li had wielded Profound Heavenly Treasures on several occasions in the past, so he was naturally aware of just how fearsome the power of laws was. As such, his expression changed several times in quick succession, and he hurriedly made a hand seal.

A thunderclap rang out, and azure and white spiritual light flashed on his back as a pair of translucent wings appeared.

Right at this moment, the bell for a third time, and the black light being released by the devilish armor instantly congealed before shattering into countless pieces.

Han Lis lips twitched upon seeing this, and he didnt hesitate any longer as he immediately flapped his wings. A loud thunderclap rang out, and Han Li transformed into an azure and white arc of lightning before vanishing on the spot.

In the next instant, the space around where he had been standing just a moment ago warped and collapsed as a black hole appeared.

Han Li had just barely managed to evade the direct attack unleashed by the bells spatial power.

However, in the instant that the bell chimed for the fourth time, a loud thump rang out from a certain point in space over 200 feet away. A ball of white light appeared out of thin air, following which a figure with arcs of lightning flashing around his body stumbled out of empty space. It was none other than Han Li, who had just vanished into space.

His lightning movement techniques had been easily nullified by the power of the bell. Following another melodious chime, Han Li felt the air tighten around him, and he was struck by a rush of dizziness before he was enveloped within the power of laws in an unavoidable manner.

The power of laws then fell upon him as a burst of enormous force, immediately following which this force abruptly spread in all directions in an attempt to tear Han Lis body apart.

However, right at this moment, Han Lis eyes suddenly widened as he let loose a thunderous roar!

Golden light that was as dazzling as that of a scintillating sun erupted from his body, and countless strands of coarse golden fur appeared over his skin. At the same time, his teeth transformed into sharp fangs, and he instantly became a massive golden ape.

The ape was around 50 to 60 feet tall with an extremely ferocious appearance. Its limbs were extremely thick and burly and seemed to possess boundless strength.

The giant ape let loose a violent roar before swinging its four limbs vigorously through the air in unison, and a dull thump rang out, as if something in the air had been broken.

A sinister smile then appeared on the giant apes face as it took a huge stride forward, covering over 300 feet in the blink of an eye, which brought it close to the golden-horned young man. The giant ape then immediately reached out with a huge furry hand, and gusts of fierce winds hurtled directly toward the young man.

The golden-horned young man was already astonished by the fact that the attack from his small bell had failed to take effect, and he couldnt believe his eyes at the sight of the giant ape that Han Li had transformed into.

The massive ape then abruptly appeared beside him before unleashing a vicious attack, and he was caught completely off guard with no time to use the small bell again.

He wasnt familiar at all with Han Lis giant ape transformation, but the fact that it was able to break free from the power of laws with its physical body alone naturally revealed to the young man that it was extremely powerful.

As such, the young man had no choice but to hurriedly make a hand seal, upon which the brilliant light erupted from the blue projection behind him, and it reached out with both hands to conjure up a pair of giant blue blades.

Blue light flashed, and one of the blades swept directly toward the giant apes oncoming palm while the other hurtled toward the apes chest, trying to force it to fall back in retreat.

However, the huge ape remained completely expressionless as if it couldnt even see the blue blade slashing toward its chest, and it focused all of its strength on its massive furry hand.

The sound of metal clashing with metal rang out, and as soon as the blue blade came into contact with the massive apes hand, it abruptly shuddered before being pulverized into blue powder.

Meanwhile, the other blue blade struck the giant apes chest, only to be repelled by the burst of golden light without being able to harm the apes fur even in the slightest.

Argh!

The golden-horned young man was truly horrified now, and his heart thumped violently as he desperately spurred the projection behind him into action.

The blue projection abruptly swelled in size before rushing upward and swinging its fists toward the giant ape.

At the same time, the young man opened his mouth again to expel another burst of black Qi that was intermingled with green threads. He then quickly raised an arm, and crimson light flashed past his face, as well as his finger, as he flicked it toward the small white bell again without any regard for magic power expenditure.

However, the young man had still underestimated just how powerful Han Li was in his giant ape form.

In the instant that the blue projection came into contact with the huge golden hand, the former was completely destroyed by the massive apes extraordinary strength.

As for that burst of black Qi, it was also torn apart by the giant hand without being able to pose any impediment.

Thus, the giant apes hand fell like lightning, completely brushing aside the young mans protective spiritual light before grabbing onto his head and squeezing its fingers together without any hesitation.

The young man only had a chance to adopt an expression of shock and horror before his head exploded like a watermelon, and his headless body swayed before plummeting toward the ground.

Unbeknownst to the Jiao Chi being, Han Li himself was also quite surprised, but his surprise was intermingled with elation rather than fury.

He had known that the Provenance Golden Body would definitely be far more powerful than before after being refined by that mysterious energy, but he didnt think that it would be this powerful. To think that it was now able to steal enemy treasures as if they were nothing more than mere toys!

Albeit, he had taken advantage of the element of surprise, and the treasure that was taken wasnt his enemys bonded treasure, but this was still near unheard of.

Han Li forcibly repressed his elation as he laid a hand onto the top of his own head, upon which a ball of black light emerged and vanished into the golden body in a flash.

Black light flashed from the eyes of one of the golden bodys faces, its body swayed before it disappeared into the azure light barrier.

Immediately thereafter, Han Li opened his mouth to expel a ball of silver flames, which also vanished into the barrier in a flash.

The golden-horned young man within the sword formation was still rapidly making hand seals with a furious look on his face in an attempt to recover his silver ruler, but upon witnessing what Han Li was doing, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately calmed himself down.

He then exhaled as he ceased making hand seals, then let loose a loud cry, upon which a massive shimmering blue projection appeared behind him.

This projection was around 50 to 60 feet tall with scales all over its body and a pair of eyes as red as blood. There were countless bull-horn-like bone spikes on the top of its head and its four limbs, creating quite a harrowing sight to behold.

What was even more alarming was that the projection was holding an extremely peculiar treasure in each of its two hands.

One of them was a long-handle hammer with a head that consisted of three monster heads fused as one, and the other was a triangular shield that was as smooth as a mirror and had crimson flames burning on its surface.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly as he made a strange hand seal, then began to chant something in a solemn manner.

It was quite clear that Han Li was far more powerful than he had anticipated, thereby leading him to cast aside his initial disdain and take Han Li seriously as an opponent.

However, he was still trapped within the Spring Dawn Sword Formation, so Han Li naturally wasnt going to allow him to unleash his abilities so easily.

Thus, a cold light flashed through Han Lis eyes as he activated the sword formation again. Light flashed erratically from the azure light barrier as one azure lotus flower after another surged forth in a frenzy.

These lotus flowers then transformed into countless lotus projections that surged into the sword formation, and all of a sudden, there were countless lotus flowers of different sizes and at different stages of their growth flying throughout the entire formation.

What was even more entrancing was that in the instant that the azure lotus flowers appeared, bursts of a rich floral fragrance also filled the entire sword formation. This added an additional sense of realism to the scenes unfolding within the formation, and if one werent careful, they could easily fall captivated by the beautiful scenery.

However, the azure lotus flowers failed to entrance the young man. Instead, he was immediately able to identify the killing intent hidden within the flowers, and his expression darkened as the blue projection behind him swung its hammer toward the flowers.

The three monstrous heads on the hammer opened their eyes in unison before also opening their mouths to release fierce white winds, scorching crimson flames, and powerful silver lightning.

The flames were fanned by the winds, and the lightning was fueled by the flames as three surged forth as massive waves of devastating power.

Almost at the exact same moment, azure light flashed from the surfaces of the azure lotus flowers, and they transformed into countless azure sword projections that rained down from above, following which the sword projections struck the three powerful waves in a flash.

The hammer was an extremely rare treasure, but with Han Lis recent cultivation base advancements, his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had also become far more powerful, especially when enhanced by the power of his sword formation.

Even though these were only sword projections that had been released by the flying swords, they were no less powerful than actual flying swords. Thus, the torrential downpour of sword projections managed to steadily force back the three massive waves.

The young mans heart stirred slightly upon seeing this, but he then immediately gave a cold harrumph, upon which his blue projection hurled its triangular shield through the air as well.

This was clearly a fire-attribute treasure, and after circling around in the air, it transformed into a fiery cloud that was around an acre in size before rising upward.

The fiery cloud churned violently, and countless fist-sized fireballs swept forth along with streaks of crimson light.

Many of the sword projections that struck the fiery cloud were instantly incinerated into nothingness, and the temperature within the entire sword formation was drastically elevated as if it had become a massive furnace.

This fiery cloud assisted the three massive waves that had just been unleashed, forming a watertight protective barricade that allowed none of the torrential downpour of sword projections to reach the young man.

Right at this moment, the azure light barrier behind the young man suddenly parted, and a huge golden hand that was as large as a banana leaf reached out.

Before the hand had even reached the Jiao Chi being, a burst of enormous invisible force crashed down upon him, and he felt as if the surrounding air had become a cage of iron and steel.

His body was completely immobilized, and he was unable to break free from these invisible constraints in a short time.

The golden hand continued downward and reached the top of his head before quickly making a grabbing motion.

At the same time, silver light flashed from another part of the azure light barrier, and a silver Fire Raven that was around 10 feet in length emerged before opening its mouth to expel a burst of scorching silver flames.

In the face of this perilous situation, the Jiao Chi being remained completely unflustered. As opposed to displaying any signs of fear, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly stopped uttering his incantations as he expelled a burst of seven-colored light out of his mouth.

The rainbow light swirled before revealing itself to be a snowy white and translucent small bell.

Ding!

The bell rang in a pleasant manner, following which an incredible turn of events unfolded.

In the instant that Han Li heard this ringing sound, he was suddenly struck by a sense of disorientation. Immediately thereafter, his surroundings suddenly blurred, and he somehow found himself tipped upside down.

Not only that, but peculiar scenes were also unfolding within the sword formation.

The sword projections that were raining down from above suddenly swerved upward to crash into the azure light barrier amid strings of resounding booms.

Meanwhile, the space beneath the giant golden hand warped slightly, and the golden-horned young man abruptly vanished, only to be replaced by the silver Fire Raven.

The golden hand grabbed onto several of the giant birds thin fiery feathers, and scorching silver flames instantly swept upward to envelop the golden hand.

As for the burst of silver flames that the bird had unleashed earlier, it had already gone off in some random direction.

Han Li was quite alarmed to see this, and he hurriedly adjusted himself into an upright position.

Right at this moment, a clear ringing sound rang out, and the entire sword formation seemed to have been struck by some kind of mysterious force. The azure light barrier twisted and warped before immediately shattering into pieces, and the surrounding space tremored before 72 azure flying swords were revealed.

The Spring Dawn Sword Formation had been broken just like that.

The golden body and silver Fire Raven were rooted to the spot, clearly at a complete loss, and Han Li was also quite stunned.

That little bell seemed to possess the legendary ability to invert the heavens! When the bell had first begun to chime, he could sense that it was imbued with a hint of the power of laws.

Han Lis expression changed several times in succession, and blue light flashed through his eyes as he instantly swept his gaze over an area with a radius of over 1,000 feet around him.

His gaze then suddenly locked onto a patch of empty space, and his pitch-black Law Destruction Eye abruptly appeared on his glabella.

Black light flashed, and a pillar of light that was around as thick as a thumb shot forth in a flash before vanishing into space.

A loud boom rang out, and the golden-horned young man stumbled out of thin air in a rather disheveled manner.

Thats a Law Destruction Eye! the young man immediately exclaimed at the sight of Han Lis third demonic eye.

He had already donned a suit of blue armor, and as soon as he steadied himself, he swept a sleeve through the air, and the giant blue projection that was wielding the pair of treasures appeared once again.

The young man then made a grabbing motion with one hand, and rainbow spiritual light flashed, following which the pristine white bell appeared in his hand.

In the instant that the small bell emerged in his grasp, the bewilderment on the Jiao Chi beings face vanished, and he turned to appraise Han Li in an intense manner.

Han Li was completely expressionless as he waved a hand toward the golden body and the Spirit Engulfing Fire Raven, following which the two of them abruptly appeared beside him.

Almost at the exact same moment, the 72 azure flying swords in the surrounding air suddenly transformed into streaks of azure light without any warning before hurtling directly toward the young man.

The 72 flying swords reached him in the blink of an eye, almost as if they had teleported through the air before crashing down from above.

The speed of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword was quite alarming to the golden-horned young man, but he remained completely unfazed as he pointed a finger toward the small bell in his hand.

The bell chimed, and rings of white ripples surged forth from it, sweeping directly toward the streaks of azure light.

As soon as the two clashed, the streaks of azure light flashed before reverting back into flying swords that were around a foot in length each. Immediately thereafter, a few more ripples of light surged through the air, and all of the flying swords were shattered into nothingness.

Han Lis expression remained unchanged as he witnessed these unfolding scenes, but his pupils had contracted drastically.

He had just ascertained through his spirit eye ability that the white ripples released by the small bells were actually bands of space constructed from countless thin spatial rifts.

These rifts were completely different from normal spatial rifts, and they vanished just as quickly as they had appeared.

The Azure Bambooswarm Swords were extremely powerful, but they were naturally unable to withstand such spatial power, and they had instantly been destroyed.

In the next instant, black light flashed several tens of feet in front of Han Li, and the black spear abruptly reappeared before hurtling toward him as a streak of black light.

However, Han Li reacted extremely quickly, and almost in the exact same instant that he black spear appeared, he opened his mouth to blast forth a golden arc of lightning that struck the spear with unerring accuracy.

He didnt know what kind of abilities the spear possessed, but from the faint odor of blood and gore emanating from it, he could deduce that this was most likely an evil weapon, so his Divine Devilbane Lightning would provide the perfect counter.

However, the scenes that unfolded next had Han Li feeling quite astonished. Spiritual light suddenly flashed from the black spear, and it passed through the arc of lighting in a flash as a faint shadow. The golden arc of lightning struck empty space and wasnt able to slow down the spear in the slightest.

The spear was already extremely close to Han Li, and he had just been caught off guard by this sudden development, so even though he was far more powerful than the average cultivator of his caliber, there was no way for him to evade in time.

Thus, the black spear struck his body amid a dull thump before exploding into a ball of black light.

Han Li was forced back a single step by the enormous impact, but his body remained completely unscathed.

The black light released in the wake of the spears explosion resembled sinister infernal light straight from the depths of hell, but it was kept at bay by a suit of black armor that emerged from Han Lis body in a flash.

This was an attack that wouldve definitely killed a normal cultivator of his caliber, but it was kept at bay with relative ease by the suit of devilish armor.

Han Li and the young mans expressions both changed in unison.

Han Li was naturally quite stunned that his opponents attack had been able to disregard even his Divine Devilbane Lightning. If it werent for the Heavenly Devilish Armors reflexive reaction to protect its wearer, that attack couldve spelled a lot of trouble for him.

Meanwhile, the young man was stunned that the Yin Spirit Spear that had earned him quick victories on so many occasions in the past had failed in this instance. He had already slain countless opponents with this weapon, and close to half of them were beings of the same cultivation base as him.

A peculiar light flashed through his eyes, and he began to appraise Han Lis suit of black armor with an intense gaze.

Even though this was the first time he had seen this suit of devilish armor, it was quite clear from its sinister design and the black runes emanating from it that this was no ordinary suit of armor. As such, he was becoming quite excited.

Good! Youve got a nice suit of armor there, Ill be taking it for myself, the young man proclaimed in a cold voice.

Han Li was naturally quite enraged to hear this, but his expression remained calm as he said, Is that so? Come and take it if you have what it takes!

The golden-horned young man flipped a hand over, and a silver ruler suddenly appeared in his grasp. As soon as the ruler appeared, it released an enormous burst of spiritual pressure, and Han Lis heart jolted slightly at the sight of it.

Through the inspection of his spirit eye ability, he could see that the ruler was filled with dense runes, all of which were beveled silver runes.

He immediately let loose a low cry and made a hand seal, upon which countless specks of azure light appeared out of the nearby space. The specks of light then expanded in a frenzy to form palm-sized azure lotus flowers.

Han Li had activated his Spring Dawn Sword Formation in an instant, and immediately thereafter, he swept a sleeve through the air to release a white figure, which circled around in the air before revealing itself to be a translucent giant python that was over 100 feet in length.

The giant python pounced forward and wrapped its own body around the severely ravaged six-pawed lizard, which had just emerged from the golden light. The giant python then opened its mouth before attempting to sink its fangs into the lizard beasts body, and the six-pawed lizard immediately retaliated in an alarmed and enraged manner.

Han Li wasnt worried about his sentient puppet in the slightest. He had already examined that lizard beast and ascertained that it was only at the mid-Spatial Tempering Stage. Even though Doll was only at the early-Spatial Tempering Stage, it possessed a pair of ice-attribute treasures that greatly enhanced its powers, so it certainly wouldnt be much weaker than the opponent.

Furthermore, it possessed the body of a puppet, which gave it a distinct advantage in battle as its combat prowess wouldnt be hampered at all unless it sustained fatal damage.

With his puppet taking care of the lizard beast in his stead, he was able to focus his attention entirely on the young man within his sword formation.

At this moment, the young man had already brandished the silver ruler and was inspecting the azure lotus flowers around him with a disdainful expression.

He flicked his wrist and the silver ruler released a loud ringing sound before manifesting a series of ruler projections that appeared to be quite profound.

Han Lis eyelids twitched, and he immediately activated the sword formation. All of the azure lotus flowers revolved on the spot before swelling to several times their original size, then combining as one to form an azure light barrier.

The young man could only sense his surroundings blur, following which he found himself on a vibrant green grassland after a flash of azure light.

Delicate blades of grass that were no more than several inches tall laid all around him, interspersed with wild flowers of all different colors. There were birds chirping in the surrounding area, and this was an extremely relaxing setting that instantly struck him with a sense of drowsiness.

This is an illusionary technique!

The sleepy look in the young mans eyes faded in a flash, and he immediately came to his senses as a dark expression appeared on his face.

He abruptly swept his silver ruler through the air, and countless ruler projections flew forth in a flash, then abruptly converged to form a massive ruler that was several tens of feet in length. The ruler let loose a dragons roar, and the sound of howling winds and rumbling thunderclaps also abruptly rang out.

The space in the wake of the silver ruler warped and twisted violently as if it were about to be torn apart, and the surrounding area shattered into countless fragments like an azure mirror. reewebovel.com

However, the surroundings then blurred, and the young man found himself in a dense forest next.

All of the surrounding trees were extremely tall and lush, and their canopies virtually obscured the entire sky.

Earth-shattering tremors suddenly ran through the ground, and all of the surrounding trees were suddenly felled, crashing down toward the young man as countless thick azure logs.

Hmph, youre trying to use this illusionary technique on me a second time? How insolent! A sinister look appeared on the young mans face as he swept his silver ruler through the air, releasing countless ruler projections once again. All of the azure logs that came into contact with the silver ruler instantly vanished as specks of spiritual light, and it seemed that this silver rulers abilities were a direct counter to illusionary techniques.

Silver light flashed, and the countless ruler projections converged once again to form a giant silver ruler before crashing directly toward one face of the azure light barrier.

The scenes that unfolded next made Han Lis pupils contract drastically.

In the instant before the silver ruler struck the azure light barrier, scintillating light erupted from it, making it almost impossible to look directly at it. Using this sharp light as a smokescreen, the silver ruler suddenly split into two. A silver ruler projection that was identical to the original treasure was left in its place while the ruler itself blurred before vanishing into thin air.

Thankfully, Han Li had been quite wary of this Jiao Chi being and constantly had his spirit eye ability activated. Otherwise, he wouldve most likely been fooled by that switcheroo.

The silver ruler projection struck the azure light barrier amid what appeared to be an extremely violent clash, but at the same time, a burst of virtually undetectable spatial fluctuations erupted several tens of feet above Han Lis head. Immediately thereafter, the silver ruler appeared out of thin air before instantly sweeping downward in a completely silent and stealthy manner.

In the blink of an eye, the ruler was no more than several inches above Han Li, and after one final flash, enormous spiritual pressure erupted from it as it came crashing down without making any further attempt to disguise itself.

Brilliant silver light erupted from the ruler, and right at that moment, golden light suddenly radiated from the top of Han Lis head, following which a golden palm that was riddled with purple runes emerged out of thin air.

The golden hand then reached out like lightning and caught the silver ruler in a flash. The ruler shuddered and began to emit a shrill shrieking sound.

Silver and purplish-golden light intertwined to result in an earth-shattering explosion, and shockwaves that were visible to the naked eye erupted from the epicenter of the explosion before surging toward all directions.

The silver ruler was enveloped within a dense layer of silver light, extending and retracting in an unpredictable manner in an attempt to free itself. However, the fingers of the golden hand were like inescapable hooks, and even though they were being kept at bay by the spiritual light being released by the silver ruler, they were slowly closing in inch by inch.

The young man in the sword formation was somehow able to see Han Li through the illusionary technique of the sword formation, and a stunned and furious expression appeared on his face.

He immediately let loose a low cry before making a hand seal, then pointed a finger directly toward the silver ruler.

A loud thunderclap rang out, and arcs of lightning erupted from the silver ruler to strike the golden hand.

However, the hand was like an impregnable fortress, and it only shuddered slightly in the face of the ferocious lightning strikes.

A disdainful smile appeared on Han Lis face upon seeing this, and he abruptly swept a sleeve through the air.

Bright golden light erupted forth, and a purplish-golden figure that was around 20 feet tall appeared. The figure had three heads, all of which were completely expressionless, as well as six arms.

This was none other than Han Lis golden body projection, and not only was it riddled with purple runes in its current form, even the spiritual light that it was releasing had turned into a purplish-golden color.

The golden hand that had latched onto the silver ruler was none other than one of the projections six hands.

Two of its three heads lowered in unison before opening their mouths to blast forth two bursts of golden light, which swept away the silver arcs of lightning being released by the ruler.

The hand quickly took advantage of this opportunity to clamp its fingers around the ruler, and the silver light barrier surrounding the treasure was instantly shattered, thereby allowing the hand to truly close itself around the silver ruler.

One of the golden bodys other hands then also shot forth like lightning, and it rubbed its two hands together with the silver ruler between its palms. The ruler immediately let loose an anguished wail, and the silver light it was releasing instantly dimmed significantly.

One of the golden bodys heads then opened its mouth to expel a burst of golden light, which drew the silver ruler into its stomach. Everything had taken place in the blink of an eye, and by the time the golden-horned young man had processed what had just happened, he had already lost his spiritual connection with his precious treasure.
