Chapter 508: A Golden Opportunity

The moment the light cocoon took shape, the gray arrow of light shot over like lightning, striking the white cocoon fiercely.

Crack!

The white cocoon shattered like an eggshell, revealing Gongshu Jiu's figure within, his body pierced through by the gray arrow.

A large hole was bored through Gongshu Jiu's chest, his face instantly turning ashen, blood streaming from his seven orifices as he fell straight down from the air.

A Taiyi Jade Immortal had lasted only a single breath under the Gray Immortal Mo Yu!

Seeing this, Han Li felt a shock but also a sense of relief.

Yet the next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded!

Gongshu Jiu's falling corpse suddenly disintegrated, turning into a mass of white mist that drifted apart.

Then, behind Mo Yu, the void flickered, and a figure materialized—it was Gongshu Jiu.

The moment he appeared, without a word, he opened his mouth and spat out.

A blinding five-colored light shot forth, within which was a translucent, peculiar crystal, entwined with crackling five-colored arcs of lightning, exuding a terrifying aura of heavenly punishment.

Heavenly Punishment Thunderstone!

Mo Yu's expression changed, and he immediately turned and fled to the side, while a whoosh of gray flames emerged around him, forming a protective wall of gray fire.

Though Mo Yu was fast, the five-colored crystal was even faster, catching up in a blur.

Boom!

The crystal suddenly exploded, turning into a dazzling mass of five-colored lightning that instantly engulfed Mo Yu's body.

A violent, explosive thunderous aura emanated from the five-colored lightning, ten times stronger than the earlier tribulation lightning.

The void around the five-colored lightning twisted violently, even revealing black streaks as if about to shatter.

Bolts of five-colored lightning shot out in all directions, causing the void to tremble wherever they passed.

Sensing the danger, Han Li and the others quickly retreated, fleeing into the void beyond the ruined hall.

Within the dazzling five-colored light, Mo Yu's figure seemed to vanish completely, leaving no trace.

Seeing this, a smile flickered across Gongshu Jiu's face.

Han Li and the others, of course, changed expression.

After all, if Mo Yu were truly defeated, their own situation would be dire.

The dazzling five-colored lightning flickered a few times and quickly dissipated.

Gongshu Jiu's smile suddenly froze. After the blinding five-colored lightning disappeared, a gray mass of light emerged, over one man tall, entwined with thick gray qi that was almost black.

The gray mass rolled slightly and drifted apart, revealing Mo Yu's figure, his face slightly pale, but otherwise completely unharmed, not even a tear in his robes.

You are a Gray Immortal—how could you survive the Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning? This... this is impossible!” Gongshu Jiu stared at Mo Yu in disbelief, his speech faltering.

I didn't expect you to have a Heavenly Punishment Thunderstone, but it's a pity it's only the lowest grade, not enough to kill me.” Mo Yu shook his head, speaking with some regret.

Gongshu Jiu turned abruptly, transforming into a blur of white light as he shot toward the hall's entrance.

Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's fight a bit more. I am a man of my word!” Mo Yu shouted, waving his right hand.

With a bang, his left arm shattered, turning into a thick gray light that flashed into a gray chain, shooting out and vanishing into the void.

The next moment, the void around Gongshu Jiu flickered, and the gray chain materialized, binding his body tightly.

Mo Yu's body blazed with gray light, spreading outward, instantly forming a gray domain filled with countless rolling gray shadows.

He muttered incantations, and the gray shadows within the domain converged, rapidly coalescing into a massive gray dragon head.

The dragon head was covered in black runes, exuding a terrifying yin-cold aura that grew stronger.

In the surrounding void, the moment the dragon head appeared, Han Li and the others felt a sharp pain throughout their bodies, as if a wave of yin-cold qi had frozen their marrow. Their protective light was useless against this aura, and they quickly retreated further away.

Seeing this, Gongshu Jiu's face finally turned grim. He let out a low roar, and a layer of dazzling white light emerged on his body, then transformed into clusters of white flames that blazed fiercely.

Each cluster of white flames emitted a powerful law force, searing the gray chain, while he struggled violently.

The gray chain creaked and rapidly thinned, on the verge of breaking free.

But by then, Mo Yu's spell was complete.

The gray dragon head had fully formed, as large as a palace, its skin covered in gray scales gleaming with cold light. With a puff, two clusters of gray flames ignited in its massive eyes, fixing on Gongshu Jiu.

Roar!

A tremendous roar issued from the gray dragon head's mouth. It opened wide, and a gray beam shot forth, striking Gongshu Jiu's body.

A blinding gray light erupted like a gray sun exploding, forcing everyone to shut their eyes. After a while, the harsh gray light dimmed.

Han Li looked over and his expression changed slightly.

Gongshu Jiu had been blasted into a ruined wall, his body almost embedded in it, his robes torn and hair disheveled, clearly severely injured.

Just that much? Tsk, not tough at all. Forget it, I'm done playing with you!” Mo Yu muttered, forming hand seals. Another mass of blinding gray light appeared in the gray dragon head's mouth, exuding a vast, violent aura once more.

Terrified, Gongshu Jiu's body flashed with white light as he shot out from the wall, ignoring his injuries, and formed hand seals with a wave.

A small white flag and a yellow token shot out, spinning rapidly around his body, transforming into a white and a yellow light barrier that enveloped him.

At that moment, Mo Yu's brow suddenly furrowed, a pained expression crossing his face as his body trembled.

The gray light on his body flickered, and the gray domain fluctuated violently.

With a dull thud, the gray dragon head first collapsed into a mass of gray light, then the entire domain vanished in a flash.

Gongshu Jiu was stunned, then his eyes lit up with joy. His body blazed with white light as he shot into the distance.

Just then, a flash of golden light appeared, and a figure swiftly blocked his path—it was Han Li.

Han Li grinned at Gongshu Jiu, his body radiating golden light as the Truth Wheel materialized within, spinning rapidly, with hundreds of patterns of dao marks swirling on its surface.

Countless golden ripples shot out from it, coalescing into a hundred-zhang-wide golden ripple zone that enveloped Gongshu Jiu.

Caught in the golden ripples, Gongshu Jiu froze in place, unable to move.

Han Li raised his hand, and a green flying sword shot out, transforming into a ten-zhang-long green giant sword. Thick golden lightning emerged on its blade, exuding a狂暴 aura.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he formed hand seals and pointed.

The green giant sword flickered with lightning, appearing before Gongshu Jiu in a blur and slashing down heavily.

Gongshu Jiu knew the secrets of the Reincarnation Hall members and about Mo Yu. If he escaped, Han Li would never know peace, hunted day and night by the Heavenly Court.

He had deduced earlier that even a Taiyi Jade Immortal could not escape the Time Law, one of the three supreme laws. But previously, he had no chance to get this close to Gongshu Jiu. Now, however, was a golden opportunity!

Bold rebel, stop right there!

Xue Ying, who had fled to a distance during the battle, now shot over like lightning, shouting loudly.

Things had clearly deviated far from her expectations, but she would not allow a mere mid-stage Golden Immortal to take advantage of the situation.

Before Xue Ying arrived, she waved her hand, and a white light shot out—a white rope immortal artifact—winding toward the green giant sword to block the strike.

But as soon as the white rope artifact entered the golden ripple zone, its speed slowed a thousandfold, as if frozen.

Xue Ying, who had never seen Han Li's Truth Wheel ability, was momentarily stunned.

A cold smile curled on Han Li's lips. With a thought, the golden ripple zone around him suddenly doubled in size, enveloping Xue Ying as well.

Caught by the golden ripples, Xue Ying also froze motionless, her surprised expression凝固.

After trapping Xue Ying, Han Li pointed at the green giant sword with a hand seal.

The green giant sword blazed with light again, transforming into a mountain-like sword radiance that struck Gongshu Jiu.

A thunderous crash!

The mountain-like sword radiance shattered, and the green giant sword rebounded, its blade trembling violently, its spiritual light chaotic.

Startled, Han Li formed hand seals to steady the sword, which spun and stabilized.

He looked at Gongshu Jiu, his expression changing slightly.

Gongshu Jiu was now enveloped in an eggshell-like white light orb.

The orb was milky white, covered with striped runes that rolled and tumbled.

These runes were peculiar, completely different from Golden Seal Script or Silver Tadpole Script, resembling patterns on the shells of ancient giant turtles. Han Li had no idea what ability this was, that it could withstand the sharpness of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords tempered in the Wusheng Sword Sea.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and immediately formed hand seals again, pointing.

The green giant sword blazed with golden lightning, slashing at Gongshu Jiu once more.

At the same time, green light flashed around him, and two more identical Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out.

The two swords spun and swelled into green giant swords, entwined with terrifying golden arcs, striking Gongshu Jiu with the force of splitting heaven and earth.

Boom, boom, boom!

Three explosions rang out simultaneously.

The three green giant swords were rebounded again. The white light membrane rippled slightly but immediately restored itself.

Seeing this, Han Li's face finally darkened.
