Chapter 1302: Joining Forces

A grim look appeared on Han Li's face as the golden light within the spirit domain around him instantly became brighter by severalfold, and his five time law treasure manifestations also appeared before revolving rapidly around him.

His Mantra Treasured Axis was hanging high up in the sky like a radiant moon, and his Time Severing Torch transformed into a dazzling sea of stars, while a winding river of time flowed out of his Clear Time Vial.

At the same time, his Illusory Dawn Hourglass transformed into a vast, golden desert, upon which a lush oasis took sharp in the form of the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree.

All of these time law treasure manifestations were substantial entities, and it was as if a small world had appeared around the gray palace.

Five bursts of tremendous time law powers instantly intertwined with one another to dispel the strange law powers surging out of the bone claw, and as Han Li continued to channel his Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra with all his might, the power of his spirit domain became more potent, but it didn't expand any further.

The larger a spirit domain became, the more scattered its power would be.

Bone Emperor cast an incantation seal into the giant bone claw, and the two fingers that had previously exploded instantly reformed, following which all five fingers came crashing heavily down upon Han Li's spirit domain like five giant blades.

Five huge gashes were instantly torn into Han Li's spirit domain, almost splitting it into six sections, but it was able to resiliently hold itself intact.

Right at this moment, a streak of dark red light shot out of Wyrm 3's fingertip before vanishing into a section of the light barrier near Han Li, and an opening appeared before him.

Han Li immediately pounced on the opportunity, channeling his Reversal True Axis ability to fly into the light barrier at an incredible speed.

At the same time, his time spirit domain shrank down to only several hundred feet in size, and it sealed the opening in the light barrier to prevent anyone from sneaking in after him.

However, before Wyrm 3 had a chance to close the opening, a streak of white light shot forth from afar, and it tore its way into Han Li's spirit domain with ease before appearing within the opening, revealing itself to be a white bone spear that was several dozen feet in length.

There were countless twisted runes flowing over the spear, and it was giving off an incredibly formidable deathly aura, coupled with immense penetrative power.

Having just hurled the spear into the opening in the light barrier from afar, Bone Emperor immediately came racing onto the scene from afar.

Han Li knew that Bone Emperor had to be kept out of the light barrier at all costs, and a flurry of time law threads instantly shot out of his body before fusing into the time spirit domain at his behest.

All five time law treasure manifestations began to glow even more radiantly than before, and five bursts of time law powers surged through the spirit domain, giving everything a hazy and indistinct appearance.

The bone spear was instantly stopped cold in its tracks, and its aura was rapidly waning.

At the same time, Han Li channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, and all 1,799 of his profound acupoints lit up at once.

Simultaneously, he channeled all twelve of the true spirit bloodlines in his body, then threw an almighty punch at the bone spear.

Twelve true spirit projections emerged around him before instantly fusing back into his body, and a vast expanse of black light erupted out of his body before transforming into a massive, black vortex that gave off a burst of tremendous suction force.

The nearby space trembled violently as one spatial passageway after another appeared, and bursts of pure energy surged out of them in a frenzy.

There was energy of all types of attributes, but it predominantly consisted of devilish qi, and there was also a particularly formidable burst of energy surging out of the gray palace.

All of the energy converged toward Han Li before surging into his body, and a faint cracking sound rang out as a bright speck of light emerged over his glabella.

Back on Eight Plains Mountain, he had opened 1,799 of his 1,8000 profound acupoints using the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, but the final one had proved unexpectedly stubborn.

In this dire situation, Han Li was channeling his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and all twelve of his true spirit bloodlines at once in a reckless act of desperation, and it proved to be the catalyst that was required to finally carry him to the summit.

A layer of dark purple scales surfaced over his entire body, and he swelled to over a hundred times his original size, transforming into a dark purple devilish giant that was over a thousand feet tall.

In this form, he possessed twelve heads, each of which was displaying a different emotion.

At the same time, eleven additional pairs of arms had sprouted from his body, and they were all making different hand seals as well.

A burst of dark purple light erupted out of his gargantuan body, and it swept through the surrounding area with immense power, causing the dark red light barrier to shudder violently.

Han Li was overjoyed by this transformation, but he had no time to celebrate as his fist dealt the bone spear an almighty blow.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as the spear was shattered into countless specks of white light, all of which were sent hurtling out of the opening in the dark red light barrier, allowing it to close again.

Bone Emperor arrived outside the light barrier just a split second too late, and he let loose a roar of fury and frustration.

A relieved look appeared on Wyrm 3's face upon seeing this, but more blood then came gushing out of her mouth, and it seemed that she reaggravated her injuries.

Han Li swept a sleeve through the air upon seeing this, releasing a burst of golden light that enveloped Wyrm 3 to steady her while also injecting a torrent of energy into her body.

This burst of energy seemed to have a very potent healing effect, and most of her injuries were instantly healed.

An elated look appeared on her face as she hurriedly made a string of hand seals, and the dark red light barrier was instantly bolstered significantly, while the dark red array reappeared over its surface.

Countless tiny runes surged out of the array, followed by a flurry of thick chains, all of which swept toward Bone Emperor in unison.

In response, Bone Emperor swept a sleeve through the air to conjure up a crescent-shaped streak of white light with countless white runes dancing within it.

This streak of light possessed a far more formidable aura than the bone spear from earlier, and it stirred up the nearby world's origin qi into a frenzy as it crashed into the oncoming dark red chains.

A faint crack rang out as the streak of white light sliced through the dark red chains like tofu, and it continued to descend toward the dark red light barrier with unmatched power.

The light barrier instantly began trembling violently while Wyrm 3 did everything in her power to stabilize it, but given her injuries, she was unable to draw upon the full power of the surrounding Reincarnation Array.

As a result, the dark red light barrier was rapidly being whittled down by the streak of white light.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he pointed a finger in Wyrm 3's direction, upon which a beam of golden light that was giving off tremendous time law power fluctuations shot out of his fingertip before vanishing into her body.

The reincarnation law powers within her body resonated with his time law powers, and the dark red light around her instantly brightened significantly.

The surrounding Reincarnation Array was connected directly to her, and it also began to glow brightly as it stabilized the trembling light barrier, allowing it to hold its own against the streak of white light.

Right at this moment, all of the severed chains suddenly wrapped themselves around Bone Emperor like a nest of agile spirit snakes, forming a cocoon of chains in the blink of an eye.

Immediately thereafter, Wyrm 3 made a hand seal, and the cocoon of chains exploded into a radiant, dark red sun.

Devastating shockwaves were sent sweeping through the air in all directions, and an alarmed look appeared on the dark-skinned man's face as he yelled, "Master Bone Emperor!"

The body of the black wraith that had been taken over by Gui Wu also rippled slightly, but he remained silent.

Meanwhile, Wyrm 3 made another hand seal, and countless swirling patterns appeared over the dark red light barrier, instantly forming a giant vortex.

A burst of immense devouring force surged out of the vortex, and the streak of crescent-shaped white light was instantly sucked into it.

Only then did Wyrm 3 allow herself a faint sigh of relief, following which she turned to Han Li with a slightly hesitant expression as she said, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Han, but what were you doing with those people earlier? Could it be that you share the same objective as them?"

"Those are not allies of mine, I encountered them through sheer coincidence," Han Li replied as he quickly reverted back to his human before withdrawing his time spirit domain.

"That's good to hear," Wyrm 3 said with a relieved expression.

However, she then noticed that Han Li was staring intently at the dark red sun in the distance with his brows tightly furrowed, and a sense of foreboding instantly welled up in her heart upon seeing this.
