Chapter 338: The Wheel Shows Its Power

Han Li showed no intention of dodging the attacks of the fat and thin men. With a brilliant golden light erupting from his body, he charged straight toward the countless starry ghost heads.

"Just in time!"

Seeing this, the fat man in black roared. With a sweep of his sleeves, the countless starry sands all wrapped around Han Li, exploding midway into clumps of thunderous light the size of houses, engulfing half the sky.

A thunderous roar exploded, its momentum astonishing.

Almost at the same time, the gaunt man in black pointed a withered finger at Han Li in the void.

The countless ghost heads suddenly swelled, opened their mouths wide, and shot streaks of pitch-black light toward Han Li.

These black lights seemed ordinary but emitted an intensely corrosive and decaying aura, as if they could corrode and melt even the void itself. Wherever they passed, ripples spread and became blurred.

The golden light on Han Li's body intensified, his figure suddenly blurred, and his speed increased manyfold as he flew into the midst of the starry and black lights.

Not only was he incredibly fast, but he also moved with extreme agility, shifting left and right with such skill that although the sky-covering thunder and dense black lights seemed about to engulf him, they always missed by a hair's breadth.

This was the "Reversed True Wheel" technique executed by concealing the wheel within the body.

The fat and thin men quickly released their divine sense to lock onto Han Li's position, but just as they barely managed to see his movements, he had already completed dozens of changes, effortlessly weaving through the barrage of attacks.

The surrounding starry thunder explosions and ghost head black lights, originally extremely fast and powerful, now seemed both slow and clumsy.

Seeing this, the fat and thin men were stunned.

But before they could react, Han Li had already passed through the starry sky and ghost head black lights, appearing like a ghost less than a hundred zhang in front of them. The dazzling golden light on his body had dissipated at some unknown time.

Only then did the fat and thin men snap out of it, both retreating backward, a trace of shock in their eyes.

However, having cultivated to the late True Immortal stage, they were rich in combat experience and immediately devised countermeasures.

The fat man in black spat out two crystalline triangular shields, which spun around his body and transformed into a thick crystalline light barrier.

At the same time, the starry light flashed, turning into countless starry rings that swept toward Han Li.

Meanwhile, the gaunt man in black rapidly chanted incantations, and a cracking sound came from within his body.

His body swelled and grew rapidly, but his skin and flesh quickly receded, and in an instant, he transformed into a giant black skeleton over ten zhang tall.

An immense aura erupted from the black skeleton, nearly twice as strong as before.

The black skeleton's eyes flashed red. It opened its huge bone hand, its five fingers like five black giant swords wrapped in black flames, and grabbed downward at Han Li's head.

The two had clearly cooperated for a long time, so their attack was exceptionally coordinated, leaving Han Li no opening.

But at that moment, Han Li's body once again radiated dazzling golden light, and a golden wheel appeared behind him, spinning rapidly.

With a "hum," a layer of golden ripples spread from his body, instantly covering a thousand zhang of void, enveloping the fat and thin men.

Caught in the golden ripples, their figures suddenly froze.

Not only their bodies but also their spiritual light and flames, and the starry rings falling from the sky, all seemed frozen, motionless.

It was not entirely accurate to say motionless; in fact, they had slowed down a thousandfold. Although they were still moving slowly, it appeared almost as if they were still.

"This is... the law of time!"

The young man in ornate robes changed expression. He immediately stopped caring about Han Li's Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, leaving them bound by the Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain, and shot toward the fat and thin men.

At that moment, Han Li's figure suddenly swelled, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall golden ape. With a movement, his two massive fists, covered in silver patterns, smashed fiercely toward the fat and thin men.

The fat and thin men seemed completely unaware of the ape's attack, remaining in their previous poses.

With a crack, under an indescribable immense force, the crystalline light barrier around the fat man shattered like dry twigs, and the giant fist, without stopping, struck his body.

At the same time, the other giant fist smashed into the black skeleton formed by the gaunt man.

Almost the instant the fists touched them, the golden ripples retracted, and everything returned to its original speed.

With a "bang," the fat man's body exploded into a shower of flesh.

The seemingly indestructible black skeleton also shattered into pieces, turning into a cloud of black bone fragments.

Their souls, also bound by the True Word Wheel, could not react at all and were annihilated along with their bodies under the force of the impact.

This all took time to describe, but due to the influence of the True Word Wheel, it actually happened in less than a breath. By now, the young man in ornate robes had only just reached the area above the giant ape. Seeing this, a flash of shock and anger crossed his face.

Although he had some estimate of Han Li's strength, he never imagined that two late True Immortal stage cultivators would not last even a moment against him.

As he pondered, the young man in ornate robes waved his hand.

A black light shot out, revealing a strange black sword shaped like a beast's fang, its blade engraved with countless black runes, exuding a law aura.

The black sword's light blazed, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant black sword. A phantom of a black dragon appeared around the blade, slashing toward the golden ape.

A crystalline light flashed in the golden ape's eyes. The True Word Wheel behind it suddenly reversed, flickered, and vanished into its body.

The golden ape's figure blurred and disappeared from its spot, causing the black giant sword to strike empty air.

A faint golden phantom emerged, shooting toward the distant Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain at an inconceivable speed.

The young man's expression changed. He immediately shot back like lightning, but compared to the golden ape's strange speed, he was far slower.

He had only covered half the distance when the golden ape reached the Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain. Without a word, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

The essence blood immediately ignited, turning into a blood-colored flame filled with countless blood runes, shooting toward the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

As it approached, the blood flame flickered, passing through the gray rings and gray cocoon as if intangible, and entered the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

The Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, which had been suppressed, once again blazed with green light, tearing through the layers of gray cocoon, but still could not break free from the outer gray rings.

"Don't even think about it!"

The young man in ornate robes shouted in anger, about to form hand seals.

The golden ape suddenly turned, its fists blazing with golden light. Its arms blurred, conjuring countless afterimages.

In an instant, a loud whistling arose!

Dense golden fist shadows emerged in the void, wildly striking toward the young man.

Before the fist shadows even landed, an invisible force spread, enveloping all the void within a li of the young man, freezing his movement.

With no way to avoid it, the young man waved his arm, and a black shield shot out, transforming into a black light barrier before him.

A thunderous roar erupted!

Clusters of fist shadows struck the black light barrier, exploding like blazing suns, but the barrier only trembled slightly, remaining unmoved.

However, he was also blocked at a distance, unable to approach for the moment.

The golden ape's whole body shimmered with golden light. Suddenly, two more arms grew from its sides, and it quickly formed hand seals before its chest.

The seventy-two flying swords blazed with light once more, merging into a single green giant sword. Thick golden arcs of electricity crackled on its surface, emitting a terrifying thunderous roar.

With a hum, the green giant sword vibrated violently, then flickered, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long green sword light, slashing fiercely at the gray rings.

With a hum, the green giant sword vibrated violently, then flickered, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long green sword light, slashing fiercely at the gray rings.

A sharp aura emanated from the green sword light, twisting and shaking the void wherever it passed, causing a rumbling tremor.

The gray rings trembled violently and finally tore open with a rip.

The green sword light immediately shot out, returning to the golden ape's side, transforming back into a green giant sword that circled above its head.

Seeing this, the golden ape blurred again and vanished from its spot along with the giant sword.

The next moment, in the air over a thousand zhang away, Han Li appeared surrounded by arcs of electricity, along with the green giant sword, now reduced to less than ten zhang.

Han Li spat out a stream of his natal essence, which entered the green giant sword.

The light emitted by the green giant sword blazed again, the entire blade turning a scorching green, like a sun.

The black residue on the sword was swept away, and it let out a joyful sword cry.

The young man in ornate robes stood still, staring darkly at Han Li, and waved his hand in the void.

The Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain shot above his head, spinning rapidly.

The two stood facing each other in the void, neither making a move immediately.

"It seems I underestimated you," the young man finally broke the silence after a long while.

Han Li paid him no heed, his ten fingers moving like wheels as he rapidly formed hand seals.

The green giant sword above his head flashed, splitting back into seventy-two small swords. After a brief circle around him, they formed a green sword array protecting him.

"I originally wanted to play with you slowly, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning! In that case, I'll capture you first and then slowly torment your soul," the young man snorted coldly and spoke indifferently.

As his words fell, he waved his sleeve, and a black light shot out, transforming into a square treasure—a black inkstone.

The inkstone was carved with landscapes, birds, and beasts, giving it an ancient feel.

As soon as it appeared, it spun rapidly, and countless dense golden runes surged out, while an indescribable peculiar law fluctuation spread in all directions.

The young man's aura also rose, his immense spiritual pressure causing the nearby void to tremble slightly, stirring up storms that swept in all directions.

Seeing this, Han Li's pupils contracted slightly.

The other's cultivation was now finally revealed without concealment, exactly as Han Li had expected—a Golden Immortal stage cultivator.

His aura was far weaker than that of Hu Yan or Yun Ni, and it seemed somewhat unstable, as if he had just broken through to the Golden Immortal stage and had not yet fully stabilized.

But even so, he was a genuine Golden Immortal stage cultivator, incomparable even to a late True Immortal stage cultivator.
