Chapter 594: Chop

With a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth,

an immensely powerful shockwave erupted from the collision between Mo Guang and the Taiyi-stage Devouring Gold Immortal, transforming into an invisible airwave that rippled outward, causing the mountain walls to tremble and rocks to fall in succession.

The black spear bent sharply before suddenly rebounding, carrying Mo Guang's body along as it shot upward toward the chasm's top.

Han Li's heart tightened as he watched Mo Guang's figure fly backward into the rolling baleful aura. If Mo Guang hadn't possessed a profound and unfathomable Gray Immortal body, he would have been shattered to pieces by that immense force by now.

And without Mo Guang, he himself couldn't have withstood even half a move from the opponent.

The Devouring Gold Immortal's body was also pressed down by the force, descending passively for the first time.

At that moment, a long-prepared golden radiance suddenly blazed brightly, and a massive golden wheel emerged, its body embedded with eighteen crystalline threads and over four hundred Time Dao patterns shining brilliantly.

Under the impact of waves of golden light, a vast golden space immediately took shape, enveloping the Devouring Gold Immortal.

The Taiyi-stage Devouring Gold Immortal suddenly felt its vision blur, and its entire body seemed to sink into a quagmire, becoming difficult to move.

It wanted to release crystalline light to shatter the golden wheel, but the immortal spiritual power within its body seemed frozen, its flow nearly zero, making it extremely difficult to mobilize.

Golden light flashed wildly on its surface, as if it were struggling with all the power it could muster, trying to break free from the control of the True Word Wheel.

As intense fluctuations rippled from its body, continuously impacting the surrounding golden ripples, the space of the True Word Wheel indeed began to shake, but showed no signs of collapsing for the time being.

Han Li's pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a secret relief.

If he hadn't fortuitously broken through to the peak of the Golden Immortal stage earlier, he might not have been able to trap this Devouring Gold Immortal now.

While pondering, he dared not slacken in the slightest. His hands swiftly formed hand seals, and he fully activated the True Word Wheel, using its space to firmly trap the Devouring Gold Immortal.

He knew well that he couldn't trap it for long; once it broke free, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With this thought, he waved his hand, and a green light suddenly flared. An emerald gourd emerged, hovering in midair and trembling violently.

A ring of tiny runes on its surface flashed intensely, and a brilliant radiance burst from the gourd's mouth, with a sharp aura suppressed there, ready to burst forth.

Han Li had to fully control the True Word Wheel while also diverting his mind to control the emerald gourd. The consumption of both immortal spiritual power and divine sense had reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

He took a silent deep breath, let out a low shout, formed a sword seal with his hands, and suddenly pointed forward with his fingers together.

"Chop!"

At the command, the green light at the mouth of the emerald gourd instantly blazed to its peak, and sounds like thunder and lightning crackled from within.

One after another, the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, each flickering with golden electric arcs, shot out from the gourd's mouth.

Amid the emerald green light, a total of eight flying swords sped straight toward the Taiyi Golden Immortal's heart.

"Clang!"

"Crack!"

...

One sharp clang after another rang out, and one electric flash after another exploded.

To ensure the power of each sword strike was undiminished, Han Li did not split into sword lights or shadows but attacked purely with the sword bodies themselves.

Under the enhancement of the Time Domain, each flying sword struck extremely rapidly. In just a few breaths, hundreds of strikes had landed, yet at the Devouring Gold Immortal's heart, only golden arcs rippled, with almost no damage.

"Chop away, chop away! When I break this restriction, it will be the moment you are ground to dust and your bones scattered to the winds, haha..." The Taiyi-stage Devouring Gold Immortal struggled violently, but a wild laugh rang from its mouth.

Jin Tong watched with eyes wide and heart aching, filled with regret. If it had trained more diligently when following Qu Ling, perhaps it wouldn't be so helpless now.

Just as it was racking its brains for a way to break through the Taiyi-stage Devouring Gold Immortal's defense, a sudden change occurred on Han Li's side.

Golden light blazed all over Han Li's body. His immortal spiritual power, already heavily depleted, was now pushed to the extreme, as if he were holding nothing back, pouring it out like a flood.

At the same time, the emerald gourd hovering in the air had its rune light blazing to the utmost. A sword tip wrapped in green light pierced out from the gourd's mouth.

Meanwhile, within the gourd's space, a green vortex spun rapidly, emitting a dull explosion. It accumulated a heart-stopping power, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"Go!"

Han Li let out a fierce shout.

The emerald gourd immediately shook violently, and the void in front of its mouth rippled intensely. The protruding sword tip vanished in an instant.

Almost at the same moment, a nearly blurred green sword shadow appeared at the Devouring Gold Immortal's chest and stabbed straight down.

With a loud "clang"!

The Gold Devouring Immortal's body shuddered violently as a golden light mixed with golden electric arcs and layers of sword qi suddenly burst forth, stirring up endless waves of air that surged in all directions.

The rolling baleful qi was shattered by this blast, scattering upward toward the top of the abyss. The rock walls on both sides and the valley floor were also torn apart by the sword qi within the blast, revealing huge ravines hundreds of feet deep.

The golden light on the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest shattered layer by layer, and finally, a crack as thin as a hair appeared on its extremely hard carapace.

The moment the Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal sensed its defense was breached, its eyes involuntarily narrowed. It struggled even more violently, causing the nearby True Word Wheel to shake fiercely and become extremely unstable, on the verge of losing control.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly. He felt some regret but was not surprised.

This Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, which had been refined the longest in the green gourd, had already exceeded Han Li's expectations in terms of power.

If that strike from the gourd had struck not a Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal but any ordinary Immortal at the peak of Taiyi, it would not have suffered only this much damage.

Without much hesitation, Han Li immediately changed his hand seal.

The remaining eight flying swords instantly streaked with green light, flying around this Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, their lights interconnecting and electric threads intertwining, merging into one in an instant.

Han Li flew up, no longer controlling the sword with his divine sense, but instead grasping the nine-in-one Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword and charging straight at the Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal.

"You're asking for death..." the Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal roared furiously.

But Han Li ignored it, his body radiating golden light as he closed in, gripping the sword with both hands and slashing down at the fine wound on the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest.

At this moment, there was no need to hold back immortal power, no need to hold back the Evil-Cleansing Divine Lightning, and no need to hold back the Eternal Sword Qi.

"Bang!"

After the first sword fell, Han Li's body spun like a falcon turning over, and another sword followed, slashing down.

"Bang!"

After this sword fell, he followed the same pattern, and a third sword came down... a fourth, a fifth, a sixth...

Cyclical and unending.

With each sword faster and stronger than the last, the Evil-Cleansing Divine Lightning had no time to discharge before being suppressed by the next sword, and the Eternal Sword Qi had no time to unfold before being forced back by the next sword.

Strands of golden lightning and layers of sword qi accumulated and pressed together, all gathering at the wound on the Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal's chest, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

Mo Guang, who had already returned to the abyss, did not approach immediately. Watching from afar, he instantly understood Han Li's intention, and his eyes flickered slightly as he narrowed them.

At this moment, the Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal had long lost its earlier composure. It could clearly feel the power and threat of these swords. Its wings trembled violently, layers of crystalline light flashing incessantly, continuously assaulting the True Word Wheel.

As the True Word Wheel was consumed, its power gradually weakened. Though it could still slow the attacks, it could no longer completely resist the interference. The entire wheel, along with its time patterns, trembled violently under the influence.

Han Li's divine sense consumption was too severe. His eyes were now bloodshot, and blood flowed from his ears, winding like two small red snakes down his cheeks.

Yet his hands gripping the sword remained exceptionally steady, still slashing down one sword after another.

Three hundred fifty-ninth sword, three hundred sixtieth sword...

Han Li slashed down sword after sword, but the Gold Devouring Immortal's wound did not widen.

Three hundred sixty-first sword!

The accumulated Evil-Cleansing Divine Lightning could no longer be suppressed, and the released Eternal Sword Qi could no longer be controlled.

A deafening "boom" resounded!

A golden sea of lightning, no less than the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, exploded, with countless golden arcs springing forth, forming a lightning vortex that enveloped the entire Gold Devouring Immortal.

A vast expanse of Eternal Sword Qi condensed into one point and exploded at the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest and abdomen.

Golden lightning and snow-white sword qi merged, rising like a golden pillar entwined with a white dragon, piercing through almost the entire abyss.

"Roar..."

The Taiyi-stage Gold Devouring Immortal let out a piercing shriek, its ferocious nature pushed to the extreme.

Its wings exploded with a loud bang, emitting a violent fluctuation that sent the already strained True Word Wheel flying backward, breaking free from control in that instant.

"You actually managed to break my defense. You will die today without a doubt," it said, looking down at the deep, long wound at its heart, enraged.

It suddenly realized that, given its powerful physique, even if its body were breached, recovery should take only a few breaths.

But this time, it was wrong.

The wound had shown no signs of healing since it appeared.

It seemed that electric arcs still缠绕 and sword qi still crisscrossed, hindering the wound's healing speed.
