Chapter 1101: Awakening Fire Law Powers

The Essence Fire Raven turned to Han Li with a pained look in its eyes, but its pain was clearly far outweighed by elation.

All of a sudden, a white flame appeared over its body, sweeping rapidly over it from head to tail.

All of the rainbow flames on its body were instantly eradicated, and the power of the Rainbow Fire Pill Sand was completely refined and integrated into its body.

Not only that, but all of its fiery power had also been purified, eradicating all of the impurities to leave only the most essential power behind.

The bulges all over the Essence Fire Raven's body had also disappeared, and it abruptly shrank down to roughly half its original size, but its aura had swelled drastically, and there was even a hint of fire law power fluctuations emanating from its body.

This was the same as the fire law power fluctuations from the white bead. Instead, it was reflective of fire law powers of a higher level.

Over the years, the Essence Fire Raven had been steadily becoming more and more powerful as it devoured more and more flames, but up to this point, no fire law powers had arisen within it. However, the power of the white bead seemed to have purified and refined its power, giving rise to fire law powers of an extremely high caliber.

The Essence Fire Raven let loose an elated cry as it spread its wings and soared through the air, transforming into a giant silver fire raven that was over a thousand feet in size.

In its current form, the Essence Fire Raven's body had become far sleeker and more streamlined than before, and a fiery crown had appeared on its head, while nine long, fiery feathers had grown from its tail, giving it an air of regal majesty.

Bursts of terrifying fiery power that weren't inferior to those emanating from the white bead earlier were surging out of the giant fire raven's body, causing the nearby space to tremble violently.

The Essence Fire Raven continued to circle around in the air, and its cries grew louder and louder as its eyes glowed with excitement.

All of a sudden, streaks of silver flames erupted out of its wings like shooting stars before raining down upon the mountain face below.

The silver flames were able to burrow their way deep into the mountain face with ease, leaving unfathomably deep holes in their wake.

A string of resounding explosions rang out as the silver flames exploded violently before connecting together to form a sea of silver fire that was dozens of kilometers in size.

The sea of silver flames was giving off terrifying heat that rapidly melted away everything within and around it, and an enormous crater was melted into the mountain face in the blink of an eye.

However, the mountain was so enormous that this crater was insignificantly tiny in comparison, and the mountain itself wasn't moved in the slightest.

A look of excitement flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this. The Essence Fire Raven had become even more powerful than he had anticipated.

However, his brows then furrowed slightly with concern as he realized that they still weren't very far away from the Origin Fire Palace, so causing such a massive commotion could draw the attention of Qi Mozi.

With that in mind, he immediately instructed the Essence Fire Raven to stop what it was doig through their spiritual connection.

However, the Essence Fire Raven seemed to have been too absorbed in its play to heed his instructions, and it completely ignored him as it let loose another loud cry, opening its mouth to release the white bead in the process.

The white bead swelled rapidly in size from only around three inches in diameter to roughly thirty thousand feet in the blink of an eye, and there were incredibly sweltering white flames burning over its surface, giving it the appearance of a blinding white sun hanging in the sky.

Everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was illuminated a pure white color, and the air temperature also swelled to a terrifying degree as the mountain face began to rapidly melt away once again.

A devastating aura of destruction was emanating from the giant white bead, and all of the space within a radius of dozens of kilometers had become warped and blurry, following which countless spatial rifts of different sizes appeared in the surrounding area.

Han Li was just about to fly through the air to intercept the Essence Fire Raven when a series of spatial rifts appeared in his path.

His brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and his Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind him at his behest before releasing countless waves of golden ripples that instantly spread over the entire area within a radius of around a thousand feet.

All of the spatial rifts that were caught within the golden ripples instantly fell still, but they were filled with such astonishing power that the golden ripples were trembling violently, as if they were struggling to contain the spatial rifts.

Han Li hurriedly injected more immortal spiritual power into his Mantra Treasured Axis to stabilize the golden ripples before turning to the Essence Fire Raven and the giant, white bead with a stunned expression.

The tongue of white flames that he had unleashed with the bead earlier couldn't even hold a candle to the power that the bead was currently putting on display.

Not only that, but the power unleashed by Xiong Shan and Lan Yan using the Primordial Ancient Sword and the blue pouch, respectively, also paled in comparison to that of the white bead.

After flying out of the Essence Fire Raven's beak, the giant, white bead came crashing heavily down onto the mountain face below with an earth-shattering boom.

This time, the entire mountain began to tremble amid a burst of dull rumbling, and countless loose rocks came falling like rain.

The white bead had embedded itself into the mountain face, and it was rapidly burrowing its way deeper and deeper into the mountain as the white flames over its surface melted through the rocky material, seemingly determined to burn a hole all the way through to the other side.

However, right at this moment, a burst of radiant, golden light appeared, encompassing the white bead within it.

The golden light contained tremendous time law powers that instantly slowed down the speed of the white bead's advance to a crawl, while Han Li appeared near the mountain face before making a grabbing motion with one hand.

Over two hundred time law threads flew out of his sleeve, then intertwined with one another to form an enormous, golden hand that reached deep into the mountain face to grab onto the giant, white bead.

The flames on the surface of the white bead were scorching the golden hand with all their might, but the latter refused to budge.

"Alright, that's enough!" Han Li said in a stern voice as he gave the Essence Fire Raven a cold glare.

The excitement in the Essence Fire Raven's eyes quickly faded upon seeing this, and a timid look appeared on its face as it rapidly shrank down into its silver, child-like form.

The white bead also shrank down to its original size in the blink of an eye before flying back to the fiery, silver figure's side, while the surrounding sea of silver flames was snuffed out in a flash.

The silver flames on the fiery, silver figure's body had dimmed significantly, and the hint of fire law powers that had arisen in its body had been significantly depleted, to the point that it was barely even detectable anymore.

However, this didn't seem to bother the silver figure, and it flew over to Han Li's side while hanging its head like a child that had been caught doing something wrong.

Han Li couldn't help but be amused at the sight of the silver figure's sheepish display, and he gave it a pat on the head as he said, "It's fine, just don't be so naughty next time."

The silver figure was ecstatic to have been forgiven, and it sat down onto Han Li's shoulder, then opened its mouth to swallow the white bead.

As a result, the silver flames on its body began to burn a little brighter, and wisps of fire-attribute spiritual qi were also surging into its body from the surrounding space.

A surprised look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.

In the past, the Essence Fire Raven was only able to replenish its expended spiritual qi by devouring other flames, but with the assistance of the white bead, it was now able to directly absorb the fire-attribute spiritual qi in the environment.

The white bead was already an extremely formidable offensive weapon, but it seemed that it was also able to serve some other purposes as well.

Even Han Li wasn't confident that he could directly withstand the devastating attack unleashed by the white bead just now, and he wouldn't have been able to capture it so easily if it wasn't for the fact that the bead had already expended most of its power burrowing its way into the mountain.

By Han Li's estimates, the Essence Fire Raven should've been able to unleash that attack with the white bead twice in succession.

With this additional trump card up his sleeve, Han Li fancied his chances against Qi Mozi a little more than before.

He took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart, then continued flying up the mountain as a streak of golden light.

At the moment, the seventh level of the Eon Pagoda was a very perilous place. There were many freed devilish creatures on the level that could pop up anywhere, and in the wake of the massive commotion that the Essence Fire Raven had just caused, he had to leave this place right away.

After the white bead was swallowed by the silver figure, tendrils of white mist began to reappear nearby, and before long, Han Li had vanished into the mist.

Mere minutes following his departure, two streaks of light flew onto the scene from below, then stopped in their tracks where Han Li and the Essence Fire Raven had been not long ago to reveal Qi Mozi and Xiong Shan.

Qi Mozi observed the severely ravaged mountain face for a moment, then looked up at the sky with a contemplative expression.

"It looks like a fierce battle must've taken place here," Xiong Shan remarked as he inspected his surroundings.

"I can sense some residual time law power fluctuations in the air, so one of the combatants was most likely Han Li. Whoever his opponent was, they've mastered the laws of fire and were fighting him using that Heavenly Li Fire Bead," Qi Mozi mused.
