Chapter 1116: A Hair's Breadth

Facing the sharp-tongued demon's stern questioning, Qimozi merely laughed heartily without replying, making a hand seal with both hands and waving.

Golden light surged within the spirit domain, finally converging above the three demons with the eagle nose, forming a golden male figure dozens of feet tall.

This figure had a dragon's lower body and the upper body of a middle-aged man with a full beard, his chest covered in thick golden hair, holding a fire fan in his hand, his blank face exuding boundless majesty.

The middle-aged man extended a hand as large as a palm leaf, reaching down to grab the eagle-nosed man and the others.

With a muffled "boom," a tremendous pressure descended from above, pressing down on the three demons.

The three demons felt as if a towering mountain were crushing them, instantly unable to move or make a sound.

"I went to great lengths to lure you here, intending to collect you all at once, but an accident caused me to lose two. Still, with the three of you, it's barely enough."

Qimozi chuckled, raised his hand, and waved. A blood-red staff flew out from behind him, entirely crimson, with a nine-headed demon dragon carved at its head.

Seven of the demon dragon heads emitted dazzling blood light, while the remaining two were dim and lusterless.

As soon as the blood-red staff appeared, a fierce yin wind arose around it, accompanied by unending ghostly wails.

An icy demonic power emanated from the blood-red staff, which even the nearby time domain could not stop.

Qimozi muttered incantations, made a hand seal, and pointed.

The staff shot out a beam of blood light, enveloping the three demons.

Streams of blood light flew out from within them, merging into the blood-red staff. The bodies of the three demons rapidly shriveled, while the two dim demon dragon heads on the staff began to glow with bright blood light.

…

Meanwhile, after breaking through the five-colored light barrier, Han Li immediately flashed through the rift into the five-colored light curtain and waved his arm.

A piercing sword cry exploded as the golden giant sword flew out from his hand, transforming into a golden sword rainbow that slashed toward the yellow jade pillar not far away.

"You scoundrel, you're asking for death!" Dao Yin True Person roared, pointing at the golden talisman in his hand.

The divine lamp pattern on the talisman flashed, emitting a thick beam of golden light.

The divine lamp pattern on the golden talisman immediately dimmed considerably, and the time law fluctuations it emitted also weakened greatly.

That golden light entered the Lamp of Time, and the lamp's flame blazed up again. Two streams of golden flame shot out from it like lightning.

One stream of golden flame transformed into a five-clawed fire dragon. This dragon was also entirely gilded, with faint time law patterns visible on its surface, several times more solid than the previous gilded fire dragon.

The gilded fire dragon charged out, shaking its head and tail, moving with incredible speed. It reached the yellow jade pillar before the golden giant sword, and its two massive dragon claws shot forward like lightning.

In an instant, dazzling golden light flared, and two immense time law forces collided, causing the nearby void to rumble several times.

The sword rainbow formed by the golden giant sword was immediately blocked by the two dragon claws. Then the gilded fire dragon coiled around the golden giant sword like lightning, spewing a stream of gilded flame that struck the sword body fiercely.

The golden light on the surface of the golden giant sword flickered wildly, and it began to melt at a visible rate.

The other golden flame shot forward and landed before the five-colored altar. With a whoosh, it spread out into a golden fire curtain, shielding the five-colored altar behind it.

Seeing this, Han Li raised an eyebrow slightly and halted in place.

Dao Yin True Person breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Han Li, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, and muttered softly, "Overreaching yourself. Die!"

Then he flicked his finger, and a dazzling white light shot out, striking toward Han Li with incredible speed.

The distance between them was also very close. As soon as the white light was released, it was almost instantaneous, already reaching Han Li.

Crystal light flickered on Han Li's body as the True Extreme Membrane emerged, and he crossed his arms in front of him.

At the same time, golden lightning flashed on his body, and eight or nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out, weaving into a golden sword curtain before him.

Here, near the Lamp of Time, the time domain was ineffective. He wasn't sure if techniques like the True Word Wheel would work, and time was pressing, so he had no chance to test them. He could only use these means for defense.

Before Han Li could release more flying swords, the white light arrived like lightning. With a loud "bang," it collided with the golden sword curtain.

The golden sword curtain shattered on impact, and the white light, without slowing, flew straight on, striking Han Li's arms heavily.

Another loud crash!

Han Li was sent flying like a straw, crashing heavily into the five-colored light curtain behind him before stopping.

A sharp pain shot through his arms, as if the bones were cracked. He quickly activated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art, and the pain in his arms began to subside.

But then, white light flared before his eyes again. That white light, like a clinging bone, attacked again, even brighter than before.

Han Li's heart tightened. He shifted his footing and swiftly dodged to the side, while flicking his sleeve. A mass of emerald green light flew out from his sleeve, wrapping around the white light.

Enveloped by the emerald green light, the white light immediately slowed, its brightness dimming. But the next moment, it burst forth with ten thousand needle-sharp white beams, tearing the emerald green light apart and continuing its assault on Han Li.

Han Li's pupils contracted. He had been fighting for this brief moment of respite!

He let out a loud shout, and lightning flashed wildly on his body. Thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out from within him, transforming into streaks of lightning that struck at the white light.

At the same time, he made hand seals, and golden light flickered on his body. His figure suddenly expanded several times, and golden fur sprouted from his skin, transforming him into a golden giant ape.

A series of loud metallic clashes erupted. The thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords struck the white light, causing it to tremble violently.

The giant ape let out a roar, and its two ape arms punched out fiercely. Fists blazing with sun-like dazzling golden light, they slammed heavily into the white light.

With a thunderous "boom!"

The white light was finally sent flying back, and the golden giant ape staggered backward, its fists torn and bleeding, seemingly more than half shattered.

At this moment, Han Li also saw the true form of the white light—it was a white small sword.

But this sword was somewhat peculiar in shape, several times thicker than ordinary flying swords, with blunt and flat edges and tip, looking strange. Yet it emitted astonishing law power and spiritual energy fluctuations, not quite matching the five immortal artifacts within the Five Elements Annihilation Array, but not far off.

While pondering, he frantically circulated his immortal spiritual power, and the injuries on his hands healed rapidly.

Dao Yin True Person, seeing that Han Li had only suffered minor injuries from his attack, was surprised and growing more anxious. He was about to activate the white small sword again to severely wound or kill Han Li.

At that moment, two sharp whistles came from behind. Two figures flew in through the gap in the light curtain that Han Li had cut—Jiao San and Hu San—and immediately rushed toward the five-colored altar.

Dao Yin True Person panicked slightly. No longer conserving his immortal spiritual power, he waved his hand.

A mass of golden light rose from his body, spreading out with a whoosh to form a golden domain, swiftly descending to envelop Han Li and the other two.

An overwhelming law of metal emanated from it, far more powerful than the laws mastered by Han Li and the others. Before it even descended, the spiritual light on their bodies was scattered by the pressure.

Hu San's figure suddenly halted. He flipped his hand and offered up the Heavenly Fox Blood-Transforming Blade. The gray-white light on his body blazed intensely, and with a "boom," it spread out, forming a gray-white domain.

He let out a low roar, and the newly expanded gray-white domain suddenly contracted, turning into a gray-white light ball the size of a fist.

Inside the light ball, gray-white crystal light hissed and darted about. Even from a distance, one could feel the powerful law fluctuations within. It flashed and merged into the Heavenly Fox Blood-Transforming Blade.

The Heavenly Fox Blood-Transforming Blade let out a soft hum. The double-headed fox relief on the sword guard emitted a layer of blood light, and one of the four eyes on the relief suddenly flickered, glowing with bright red light.

Then the Heavenly Fox Blood-Transforming Blade shook violently, emitting a heaven-shaking sword cry, as if awakening from a long slumber. An immense power burst forth from within, and the sword body radiated soaring blood light, dyeing everything within the light curtain a bloody red.

Shi Qinghou's figure emerged in the blood light, his hands forming seals without cease, and countless blood runes surged out from the sword body.

Hu San's eyes reflected the Heavenly Fox Blood-Transforming Blade, turning blood-red. He bellowed, gripping the sword with both hands and slashing out!

A sky-covering wave of blood light shot forth, erupting with extremely powerful law fluctuations, not inferior to the laws contained within Dao Yin True Person's domain.

With a thunderous "boom!"

The blood light wave struck the golden domain. Shi Qinghou's figure suddenly expanded to over a hundred feet tall, his two hands bursting with dazzling blood light, pressing against the golden domain.

The expansion of the golden domain was abruptly halted, unable to spread another step.

After this slash, Hu San's face turned deathly pale, and not a trace of gray-white light could be seen on his body. His immortal spiritual power was clearly exhausted in an instant.

He half-knelt on the ground, his sword-holding arm trembling uncontrollably.

"What!" Dao Yin True Person was startled at the sight. He made hand seals and waved.

A white light flew over—it was that white blunt sword.

The blunt sword now emitted dazzling white light and instantly enlarged, transforming into a white giant sword dozens of feet in size, sweeping toward the three.

But at that moment, a figure flickered. Han Li's figure appeared out of thin air in front of the white giant sword, having already reverted to human form.

He pointed with a hand seal, and the golden giant sword entangled by the gilded fire dragon on the other side exploded with a "bang," turning into a golden sun, blasting the gilded fire dragon away.

Over two hundred law crystal threads shot out from within the golden sun, flickered and vanished, and the next moment appeared beside Han Li.

He muttered incantations, making hand seals and waving.

The over two hundred law crystal threads spun around, intertwining again to form a golden giant sword, radiating soaring golden light, blocking the path of the imposing white giant sword.
