Chapter 1116: No Time to Waste

Qi Mozi offered no response to the Eagle Nose King aside from to erupt into laughter, and a vast expanse of golden light rose up within his spirit domain at his behest, then converged above the three devilish beings to form a projection of a golden man that was several hundred feet tall.

The man had a draconic lower body and the upper body of a middle-aged man with a coarse beard and thick, golden chest hair. There was a fiery, golden fan held in the man's hand, and he was giving off an air of unmatched authority.

The man reached out toward the three devilish beings with one hand, and a burst of tremendous pressure instantly crashed down upon them, completely immobilizing them and rendering them unable to utter even a single sound.

"I went out of my way to lure all of you here, and my intention was to claim all of you, but it looks like I'll have to make do with just the three of you," Qi Mozi chuckled as he swept a sleeve through the air, and a crimson cane with a nine-headed demonic dragon engraved onto its head flew out from behind him.

Seven of the draconic heads were giving off bright, crimson light, while the other two were dull and completely devoid of luster.

As soon as the cane appeared, fierce gusts of yin wind instantly rose up around it, and a burst of bone-chilling demonic power began to emanate from the cane, unrestricted even by the surrounding time spirit domain.

Qi Mozi chanted an incantation before pointing a finger at the cane, which released a burst of crimson light that encompassed the three devilish beings.

Bursts of crimson light began to surge out of their bodies and into the cane, and their bodies quickly became dried and withered, while the two demonic dragon heads on the cane began to glow with radiant, crimson light.

......

Meanwhile, Han Li had just flown through the rift in the five-colored light barrier, and he hurled his giant, golden sword through the air, sending it flying toward the yellow jade pillar nearby.

A furious look appeared on Daoist Master Dao Yin's face as he pointed a finger at the golden talisman in his hand, and a thick beam of golden light instantly erupted out of the lamp image on the talisman.

The image of the lamp instantly dimmed significantly, and the time law power fluctuations emanating from it had also become a lot weaker.

The beam of golden light shot into the Eon Divine Lamp, and two bursts of golden flames instantly erupted out of it.

One of them transformed into a fiery, golden dragon with a series of time dao runes all over its body, and it appeared before the yellow jade pillar at an astonishing speed before reaching out with its claws to grab at the giant, golden sword.

As soon as the sword was caught in its grasp, the golden dragon wrapped its own body around the sword light lightning while blasting a jet of golden flames into the sword, causing it to rapidly melt at a rate that was discernible even to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, the other burst of golden flames descended in front of the altar, where it transformed into a fiery, golden barrier.

Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, and he stopped in his tracks.

Daoist Master Dao Yin heaved a faint sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to Han Li with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

Immediately thereafter, he swept a sleeve through the to release a streak of dazzling, white light that shot forth at Han Li at an incredible speed.

There wasn't much distance separating the two of them, so the streak of white light was able to reach Han Li as if by instantaneous teleportation.

In response, Han Li conjured up his True Extreme Film while crossing his arms to form a defensive barrier in front of himself.

At the same time, thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out of his body to form a golden sword barrier.

At the moment, he was in close proximity to the Eon Divine Lamp, which had already displayed its capability of nullifying his time spirit domain, so he wasn't sure if his time-attribute law treasures would be able to function here. Hence, he could only seek out alternative defensive measures.

Before Han Li had a chance to do anything else, the streak of white light struck the golden sword barrier with a resounding boom, and the latter was instantly shattered, while the former continued onward without pause to strike Han Li's arms.

Han Li was instantly sent flying back through the air, only to draw to a shuddering halt as his back struck the five-colored light barrier.

A burst of intense pain shot up his arms, as if the bones inside had been fractured, and he hurriedly channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts to bolster his own physical constitution.

To further compound his woes, the streak of white light came hurtling toward him once again, and it was glowing even brighter than before.

Han Li hurriedly stepped to the side to dodge the attack while sweeping a sleeve through the air, releasing a burst of green light that captured the streak of white light.

The streak of white light was instantly slowed down drastically as a result, but in the next instant, it released countless needle-like bursts of white light in all directions, which tore the surrounding green light apart, following which it continued to hurtle toward Han Li.

However, Han Li had already bought enough time for himself, and his thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords circled around through the air before hurtling toward the streak of white light as arcs of golden lightning.

At the same time, he adopted his Giant Mountain Ape form, transforming into a giant, golden ape in the blink of an eye.

A string of loud, metallic clangs rang out as the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords struck the streak of white light in rapid succession, while the golden ape let loose a thunderous roar before swinging its massive fists down onto the streak of white light with tremendous power.

The streak of white light was finally knocked back, but the golden ape was also sent stumbling back with its fists severely ravaged and bloodied.

At this point, Han Li was able to identify the streak of white light as a small, white sword, but it was several times thicker than the average flying sword, giving it a rather strange, dull appearance.

However, it was giving off astonishing law power fluctuations that were inferior to those of the five immortal treasures in the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array, but not by much.

A look of surprise and agitation appeared in Daoist Master Dao Yin's eyes, clearly caught off guard by the fact that Han Li had managed to withstand his attack with only such minor injuries to show for it, and he was just about to urge the white sword to spring into action again when Wyrm 3 and Fox 3 flew through the rift in the five-colored light barrier before pouncing at the altar.

Daoist Master Dao Yin hurriedly swept a sleeve through the air upon seeing this, releasing a golden spirit domain that expanded rapidly toward Han Li's trio.

The spirit domain was giving off metal law powers that were far more formidable than the law powers mastered by Han Li's trio, and even before encompassing them, it was already exerting immense pressure upon them.

Fox 3 immediately stopped in his tracks, then flipped a hand over to summon his Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber, and at the same time, a gray spirit domain erupted out of his body.

He let loose a low roar as the gray spirit domain contracted rapidly to form a fist-sized ball of gray light, which vanished into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber in a flash.

One of the four eyes on the two fox heads etched onto the guard of the saber instantly began to glow with bright, crimson light, following which a burst of tremendous power erupted out of the saber, as if it had finally awakened after a long slumber.

The entire saber began to glow radiantly, illuminating everything within the light barrier a crimson color, and Shi Qinghou emerged within the crimson light, making a rapid string of hand seals while countless crimson runes surged out of the saber.

Fox 3 let loose a loud roar as he swung the saber through the air with both hands, unleashing an all-encompassing wave of crimson light that contained extremely formidable law power fluctuations, ones that weren't inferior in the slightest to those in Daoist Master Dao Yin's spirit domain.

The wave of crimson light struck the golden spirit domain, and the projection of Shi Qinghou swelled to over a thousand feet tall before pressing its hands down onto the golden spirit domain.

The spirit domain's expansion was instantly stopped, unable to spread even an inch further.

After unleashing that saber strike, Fox 3's complexion instantly turned deathly pale, and all of the immortal spiritual power had been drained from his body.

He fell to one knee as his saber-wielding hand trembled uncontrollably, while Daoist Master Dao Yin looked on with a stunned expression.

He hurriedly made a hand seal, and the dull, white sword swelled to several hundred feet in size at his behest, then began sweeping through the air toward Han Li's trio.

Right at this moment, Han Li abruptly appeared before the giant, white sword, having already reverted back to his human form.

All of a sudden, the huge, golden sword that had been ensnared by the fiery, golden dragon exploded violently at his behest, and the force of the explosion was enough to send the fiery dragon flying back through the air.

Over two hundred time law threads shot out of the explosion, then vanished into thin air, only to reappear beside Han Li an instant later.

Han Li began to chant an incantation while making a string of hand seals, and the time law threads intertwined to reform a giant, golden sword to oppose the oncoming white sword.
