Chapter 500: Melee

Han Li's eyes lit up. He stopped pondering other matters and fixed his gaze on the emerald green cauldron.

Three silver droplets emerged from the vortex and fell onto the hall, suddenly bursting apart, transforming into streaks of lightning-like light that struck downward.

Hum!

Spiritual patterns all over the hall emitted dazzling golden light, forming a golden light barrier that blocked the silver light raining down from above.

The two colors of light intertwined, emitting waves of heart-shaking fluctuations that caused the entire hall to tremble incessantly.

However, none of those present seemed to pay any attention to the situation above; their eyes were all fixed on the emerald green cauldron, waiting for the moment the Taiyi Pill would emerge.

As before, a more intense interweaving of golden light and silver radiance flashed, and the falling silver light quickly weakened and dissipated, while the golden light within the hall also diminished.

After a few breaths, both vanished without a trace, and the hall returned to calm once more. The pill tribulation had been safely weathered again.

The three-headed chi dragons on the cauldron opened their mouths, and amidst a seven-colored glow, three Taiyi Pills rolled out and shot forth.

A golden shadow flickered, and three golden puppets emerged from nowhere, each catching one Taiyi Pill.

Boom!

At that moment, everyone present shot out like lightning, lunging toward the three pills.

All sorts of light suddenly appeared on the crowd and then spread outward, unfolding various domains.

No one held back their strength any longer. In the hall, eight or nine domains of different colors now appeared, interwoven with each other.

Han Li's body sank as a multitude of different law powers assailed him from all directions, slowing his speed by more than half.

The others were in the same situation, affected by various domains, especially his time domain, which slowed their speed several times over.

Han Li's gaze flickered. He deliberately slowed his flying speed, maintaining a pace similar to the others.

Almost simultaneously, the gray-white statues on both sides of the hall also rushed out swiftly, charging toward the crowd.

However, they too were affected by the numerous domains, their speed greatly reduced, even slower than the crowd.

The golden array patterns on the ground had been destroyed by the gray light unleashed by the living corpse earlier, but the white flame禁制 on the floor had not been triggered.

Although everyone's speed was greatly reduced, the hall was not large for those present, and in the blink of an eye, they had flown close to the three puppets.

The three golden puppets radiated intense golden light around them, each punching in a different direction.

Thick arcs of golden lightning shot out, scattering to strike at everyone.

The lightning attacks of these golden puppets originally possessed considerable power, threatening even Golden Immortal cultivators, but with this dispersion, their威力 greatly diminished.

No one dodged; they simply applied a bit of defense and each lunged at a puppet, trying to snatch the Taiyi Pill in its hand.

Luo Qinghai snorted coldly. Suddenly, a blinding deep blue light burst from his body, and his aura surged dramatically, once again breaking through to the Taiyi realm.

A blue light flashed in his hand, and the blue staff appeared. With a wave, a thick blue light blade shot out, easily shattering the golden lightning bolts in front and slashing into the right arm of a golden puppet.

With a crack, the golden puppet's arm was severed at the elbow, and the Taiyi Pill in its right hand flew out.

Hu Yan, Yun Ni, Ouyang Kuishan, and the white-haired Golden Immortal from the Candle Dragon Sect happened to be nearby. Seeing the Taiyi Pill flying out, they were overjoyed and each waved a hand, sending out a ray of light to wrap around the pill.

Seeing this, Luo Qinghai's gaze turned cold. He waved his blue staff again.

Rumble!

A thick staff shadow appeared and swept horizontally toward the four.

All four had witnessed the terrifying power of this staff shadow and were greatly alarmed. They abandoned the fight for the Taiyi Pill and quickly retreated.

Luo Qinghai did not pursue them. He sent out a blue light that wrapped around the Taiyi Pill and stored it away.

Although Han Li was with Hu Yan and the others, he did not participate in the争夺 for the first Taiyi Pill.

With a thought, his speed suddenly increased several times. With a blur, he appeared beside the second Taiyi Pill and waved his hand.

A green flying sword shot out, transforming into a fan-shaped green sword light that slashed at the puppet.

The golden puppet reacted very quickly. It spun around and punched toward the green sword light.

Han Li snorted coldly and pointed with a hand seal.

A golden crystal thread shot out from the green flying sword, instantly outpacing the sword light and striking the golden puppet.

With a whoosh, a crystalline golden light burst from the golden crystal thread, enveloping the golden puppet.

The golden puppet's movements suddenly halted, frozen in place.

The fan-shaped sword light slashed down, cutting across the golden puppet.

With a噗嗤 sound, the golden puppet's other arm flew up, and a Taiyi Pill flew out from its hand.

Joy flickered in Han Li's eyes. He waved his hand to grab the Taiyi Pill.

Don't even think about it! A low shout came from beside him.

Several dark red threads shot over with incredible speed, descending toward Han Li's position. It was the white-haired old woman from the Nanli tribe, who had somehow rushed over.

At the same time, another ancient-looking old man also flew over. Two streaks of blood light shot out, transforming into two blood-colored skulls that bit at Han Li from left and right.

So it's you...

Han Li's mind stirred. He did not dodge but instead spat out a golden light.

Within the golden light were several golden crystal threads, which immediately intercepted the dark red threads.

Two powerful laws collided with a boom, causing the nearby void to tremble continuously and emit thunderous roars.

A trace of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes. These dark red threads were actually able to match his time law crystal threads.

At the same time, the Gold Devouring Beetle on his shoulder shot out, rapidly expanding in size. Its two front claws waved in the void.

Sssss!

Hundreds of golden crystal threads materialized out of thin air, forming a golden torrent that instantly wrapped around the two blood-colored skulls.

With two crisp sounds, the two blood-colored skulls shattered.

A golden light flashed on Han Li's body, and a golden figure emerged, its body wrapped in thick arcs of golden lightning. It was the Crab Immortal.

The Crab Immortal held a Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword in each hand and slashed fiercely.

With a rumble, the two Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords transformed into two ten-zhang-long green giant swords, also covered in thick golden lightning arcs. A devastating aura erupted from them.

Boom!

Two massive golden sword qi shot out, covered in countless golden lightning runes, slashing toward the white-haired old woman and the other old man.

The white-haired old woman and the other old man's expressions changed. They had not anticipated the Crab Immortal's appearance. Faced with such sword light, they dared not meet it head-on and quickly dodged to the side.

Han Li waved his hand, sending out a green light that wrapped around the Taiyi Pill. The pill blurred and vanished without a trace.

The white-haired old woman's expression froze. She gave Han Li a deep look, then immediately shot backward, flying far away.

The several dark red threads also stopped纠缠 with Han Li's time crystal threads, shooting back and disappearing into her sleeve.

Fellow Daoist Jiao San, I didn't expect to meet you here. At that moment, a voice sounded in the white-haired old woman's ear, unmistakably Han Li's.

A barely perceptible fluctuation passed over the white-haired old woman's face, but her figure did not pause.

The ancient-looking old man followed closely behind the old woman and also shot away.

Han Li waved his hand to recall his time law crystal threads and Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. Looking at the white-haired old woman's figure, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He was now almost certain that the white-haired old woman was Jiao San.

At that moment, a loud boom came from beside him. A dazzling black light burst forth, surging like waves.

Han Li raised an eyebrow and turned to look.

He saw four Golden Immortals from the Cangliu Palace and Nanke Meng staggering, knocked back, their faces pale.

Feng Tiandu and Qi Tianxiao stood side by side. Feng Tiandu wore a cold smile and held a Taiyi Pill in his hand.

On the ground nearby, a golden puppet lay cut in two, its spiritual energy completely lost.

From the moment the Taiyi Pills emerged to now, only two or three breaths had passed, and all three pills had been seized.

The gray-white statues, affected by the various domains, had only just managed to fly near the cauldron.

Kill those who steal the pills!

Dozens of gray-white puppets roared in unison. A dazzling yellow light flared up on their bodies, instantly connecting into a vast square chessboard that descended toward everyone present.

Although these statue puppets were mediocre in strength, the chessboard light barrier formed by their combined power was extremely formidable.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly retreated in all directions.

Let's go!

Han Li waved his hand, sending out a green light that wrapped around the Gold Devouring Beetle, and his figure shot backward.

The Crab Immortal's form flickered and turned into a golden light that merged back into his body.

But at that moment, the void behind him flickered, and two black chains shot out, entangling his body.

Han Li's flying momentum came to an abrupt halt.

He was slowed for an instant, and the yellow chessboard covered him. His body immediately felt as heavy as if pressed down by a towering mountain.

Han Li turned his head with some difficulty and saw Feng Tiandu not far behind, wearing a smug, cold smile. His figure was retreating backward, and two black chains extended from his sleeve into the void, clearly the ones that had ambushed him.

Han Li snorted coldly. Golden light burst from his entire body, blazing like angry flames and spreading in all directions.

A golden light flashed, and a dazzling golden wheel appeared behind him, spinning rapidly.

Hum!

Countless dense golden ripples materialized, almost solid, spreading rapidly outward. They instantly enveloped Feng Tiandu and Qi Tianxiao beside him before stopping.

Caught in the golden ripples, Feng Tiandu and Qi Tianxiao's movements froze, halted as if frozen solid.

The Gold Devouring Beetle beside Han Li, some nearby gray-white statue puppets, and nearly half of the yellow chessboard禁制 were also enveloped by the golden ripples and instantly stopped.

What kind of divine ability is this? Luo Qinghai and the others looked on in shock.

Could this be the True Word Wheel? Ouyang Kuishan and the others were also stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They were all from the Candle Dragon Sect and naturally knew the True Word Wheel Sutra, the sect's treasured scripture. Some in the sect had cultivated this technique before, but the scene before them was completely different from the True Word Wheel they knew, like heaven and earth apart.

Especially the fact that Han Li's True Word Wheel actually manifested hundreds of time dao patterns—that was unheard of!
