Chapter 1079: It's a Deal

Upon hearing this, Jiao San instinctively stepped back, only to feel a grab at her shoulder as her body floated backward, flying away.

The Golden Mongoose Lizard that had just bounced away suddenly swelled rapidly, its body blazing with golden light, and with a bang, it exploded.

A ball of golden light rose from the center of the explosion, then rapidly expanded into a massive golden vortex that swept outward with a roaring sound, within which were countless golden blades.

Even more astonishingly, those golden blades contained a dense metal-attribute law power, instantly tearing the surrounding void to shreds.

After throwing Jiao San aside, Han Li flashed forward, simultaneously activating the Grand Five Elements Illusory World Technique and the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art. Starlight flowed over his body as he gathered all his energy into a single fist and smashed it forward.

A layer of golden light swirled over his fist, and a translucent golden fist shadow shot out, heavily striking the golden vortex.

With a thunderous boom!

The golden vortex exploded violently, sending countless golden blades flying in all directions.

The void trembled, and before the residual energy in the air could dissipate, the young man had already descended, charging straight at Han Li.

Han Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sure enough, this was a Gold Devouring Immortal from the same lineage as Gold童. Even the way they would fight to the death over a disagreement was exactly the same.

Facing a Gold Devouring Immortal, Han Li dared not be careless. He reversed the True Word Treasure Wheel within him, blurring his figure as he retreated slightly.

"Time law?" The young man missed his target, a hint of displeasure appearing on his cold face as he muttered to himself.

As his voice fell, a layer of golden ripples spread over his body, and his entire form became illusory, with a series of afterimages flickering around him.

Han Li's vision blurred, and the young man suddenly appeared beside him, reaching out a hand with fingers like claws aimed at his throat.

The speed was so extreme that even Han Li found it hard to evade.

At that moment, a sharp cry came from the side, followed by a sword light shooting from the left straight at the young man's head.

Seeing this, the young man merely sneered, showing no intention of dodging, and continued to grab at Han Li.

With a sharp clang!

The sword light was sharp and seemingly unstoppable, but when it struck the man, it only flashed and then shattered, not even damaging his golden robe.

Just as the man's fingertips were about to touch Han Li's Adam's apple, a golden light burst forth from behind Han Li.

A golden treasure wheel emerged, spinning in the void, emitting dazzling golden rays that illuminated all directions.

The young man instantly felt the flow of time freeze, his entire body suspended in midair.

Han Li's gaze sharpened, and he hooked his fingers in front of him.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

A series of piercing sounds rang out as green lights flashed in the void beside him. Thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords emerged, tracing invisible sword marks through the air as they converged on the young man.

"Crackle..."

Golden light flickered on the thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, and torrents of golden lightning surged out, like thirty-six thunder dragons shooting from all directions, striking at the young man's vital points.

With a series of clangs, violent golden lightning erupted from the sword bodies, instantly engulfing the young man in a golden lightning sphere.

"Rumble"

Within the golden lightning sphere, thunder roared continuously, and lightning flashed wildly, filling the surrounding void with a scorched smell.

But after a long while, the lightning subsided, the light faded, and the young man within remained unchanged, save for some scorch marks on his golden robe.

Han Li frowned slightly, pinched a sword seal, and the thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords shot into the sky, their sword lights connecting and shadows overlapping, merging back into a single sword.

He formed another hand seal, and the combined Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword immediately blazed with talisman light, lightning surging wildly.

The sky above the desert suddenly churned, and a golden lightning pillar, as thick as a water vat and seeming to contain surging golden liquid, plummeted from the sky, heavily striking the young man.

"Rumble"

Another earth-shaking boom sounded as the young man was struck by the golden lightning pillar, sinking downward, immediately engulfed by the dense, liquid-like golden lightning.

It was as if a golden lightning pool had appeared out of nowhere in the desert, its golden lightning liquid churning with immense power.

Jiao San and the others, who had retreated far away, saw this and their expressions changed.

"No comparison, really, comparing people is infuriating..." Xiong Shan's expression was the most complex, and he couldn't help sighing.

After a moment, the lightning light subsided, the electric glow faded, and the golden lightning pool disappeared.

Everyone saw the tip of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword embedded in the young man's crown, but it had only pierced his hair, not harming his flesh.

The physical body of a Gold Devouring Immortal at the Great Luo level was incredibly formidable.

"Heh, any more powerful moves? If not, I'll make my move..." At this moment, the young man, bound by the True Word Treasure Wheel's light, suddenly spoke.

As he spoke, golden ripples spread over his body, emitting waves of his unique law power, which clashed with the golden rays of the True Word Treasure Wheel, forcing them back slightly.

Seeing this, a flicker of surprise passed through Han Li's eyes.

Previously, by refining the 'honeycomb,' he had condensed a large number of time law threads, and the time law power within him was now far greater than before. He had thought that while it might not be enough to restrain Qi Mozi, who also cultivated time law, it could at least immobilize other ordinary Great Luo cultivators.

But now, this level of law power couldn't completely bind a Great Luo-level Gold Devouring Immortal.

The young man's smile suddenly faded, and two nearly transparent wings appeared behind him.

With a barely audible buzzing sound, the wings behind him vibrated rapidly, emitting faint translucent golden light that began to rapidly impact the golden rays from the True Word Treasure Wheel.

As the pale golden light grew stronger, the fluctuations of law power emanating from it became more pronounced, pushing back the True Word Treasure Wheel's rays further.

Within this space, the young man could move freely.

He first raised a hand to brush off the scorch marks on his golden robe, then rubbed the spot on his head where the sword had struck, and looked at Han Li with a cold expression, raising a hand and loosely clenching a fist.

Yet with this simple action, a terrifying aura erupted from him.

Golden light blazed around him, and a massive phantom of a Gold Devouring Beetle seemed to appear behind him, the law power fluctuations it released instantly forcing back a large area of golden rays.

"No, be careful!" Jiao San was startled and was about to step forward to help when Han Li raised a hand to stop her.

She looked at Han Li in confusion, but saw him retract the True Word Treasure Wheel into his body as his light faded.

"Brother Han, what are you doing?" Hu San frowned, puzzled.

Not only him, but even the young man was bewildered, a strange expression appearing on his face.

"Friend Gold Devouring Immortal, may I ask your name?" Han Li suddenly spoke.

"Brother Han, why are you trying to get friendly now? What use could that be?" Hu San couldn't help laughing.

Jiao San just shook her head slightly, indicating she didn't know either.

The young man just frowned slightly and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Han Li wasn't annoyed and continued, "I observe that you, like the beings in the previous tower spaces, are imprisoned here by Tai Sui Immortal. So why be our enemy?"

"Haha, haha..."

The young man laughed heartily, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"If you don't oppose us, I, Han, promise to find a way to lift the seal here and take you out of this cage. What do you think?" Han Li asked calmly.

"You can't even defeat me, yet you dare boast about letting me out of the tower. Do you know what kind of monster is imprisoned on the seventh floor? Do you think you'll get what you want if I let you pass? I don't want to give up this rare amusement to that old madman." The young man finally couldn't help speaking.

"Since I can persuade you, I naturally have a way to deal with the person on the seventh floor. It's just a matter of whether you agree or not," Han Li said calmly.

Seeing his confident demeanor, a flicker of hesitation passed through the young man's eyes.

If he could get out, who would want to stay trapped in this damned Time Tower?

Over the past millions of years, with nothing to do, he had slaughtered all the other beasts and aliens imprisoned here, grinding their bones into golden powder to create this golden sand desert.

Unfortunately, he hadn't held back at first and killed too many, leaving only the Golden Mongoose Lizard.

He certainly wanted to leave, but did this person really have the ability to take him out?

"Agreeing... isn't impossible, but how can you prove you won't die at the hands of that old madman? And how can you prove you have the ability to save me from the tower? How about you don't dodge, honestly take a punch from me?" The young man's eyes shifted as he asked.

Jiao San and the others frowned and were about to object when they heard Han Li say calmly:

"It's a deal."
