Chapter 80: Mysterious Bubble
凡人修仙之仙界篇 · 第八十章 神秘气泡
As far as the eye could see, colorful and turbulent light streams surged violently and chaotically, converging into an overwhelming torrent that rolled and collided with each other, producing deafening roars!
From time to time, pale white spatial cracks emerged within the light streams, emitting a tremendous suction force and a low whistling sound.
Even a Great Ascension stage cultivator with unparalleled cultivation, or a high-level demon beast with an almost indestructible physical body, would have their soul and spirit utterly destroyed if they were careless here, losing even the chance for reincarnation.
This was the inter-realm gap!
At this moment, Han Li felt like a person who couldn't swim, suddenly thrown into a vast, boundless sea of raging waves.
Although he had anticipated the dangers within the inter-realm gap and knew it would not be easy to traverse, he had not expected it to be like this.
The spatial storms surrounding him were countless times more powerful than the one he had experienced when ascending from the human world to the spirit realm. If not for his physical body having been forged into a True Extreme Body, and having consumed and cultivated countless spiritual materials and techniques that transformed his physique, he would have been torn to pieces the moment he entered.
His entire body was covered by an ancient-looking white bone armor, the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor, which gathered many rare treasures from the Spirit Huan Realm. His figure swayed unsteadily under the pull of the enormous suction forces around him.
He took a deep breath, and the bone armor burst into dazzling white light. The patterns of precious umbrellas, shields, dharma wheels, and others all shone brightly, emitting a sharp hissing sound, then flew out from the armor, transforming into white umbrellas, shields, and other objects that spun around Han Li.
These objects spun swiftly and then merged together, forming a thick, solid protective barrier that enveloped his body, radiating brilliant white light and seemingly isolating the spatial fluctuations around him.
Only then did Han Li's figure stabilize somewhat.
He looked at the bone armor on his body and nodded with satisfaction.
He had originally refined this Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor to deal with the spatial storms in the inter-realm gap, deliberately selecting materials for it. Several main materials, such as the Eight Treasures Exquisite Jade, contained spatial attributes, and it seemed they had not disappointed him.
After a few flashes of blue light in his eyes, he urged his遁光 forward.
Waves of spatial storms surged around him, but they were all blocked by the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor.
However, after about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, his brow furrowed again.
Although the armor protected him and seemed safe for now, moving through these storms was extremely slow. From the time he entered until now, he had probably only traveled a hundred li.
If it were just a matter of time, it wouldn't matter much. After all, this was a weak spatial node between two realms; by advancing slowly, he would eventually reach the immortal realm. But he could clearly feel that after enduring wave after wave of storm impacts, the spiritual power within the armor was being consumed rapidly.
"I had hoped to conserve some strength for unexpected dangers, but it seems that won't be possible," Han Li muttered to himself after a moment's thought.
The next moment, his entire body suddenly emitted a seven-colored light, dazzling like the sun.
A phoenix cry that pierced the clouds rang out, and as he spun, he transformed into a massive bird tens of thousands of feet long.
It was the Heavenly Phoenix transformation from the Twelve Awakening Transformations!
The Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor automatically disassembled into pieces of bone that attached to various parts of the Heavenly Phoenix's body, while the white light barrier remained unaffected.
The Heavenly Phoenix spread its wings and turned into a seven-colored phantom, flying forward with incredible speed, far faster than before.
Waves of spatial storms surged around, but as soon as they touched the Heavenly Phoenix's body, a burst of seven-colored light erupted from it, and the storms slid away automatically.
The Heavenly Phoenix true spirit had the ability to manipulate spatial power, making flying through these spatial storms as natural as a fish in water.
A hint of excitement appeared in Han Li's eyes. He let out a long cry, and his speed suddenly increased again as he weaved through the endless spatial storms, advancing rapidly.
Time passed little by little. There was no change of day and night in the inter-realm gap, but he estimated that about a day had passed.
During this day, he had encountered numerous dangers, making it feel longer than a year.
The inter-realm gap contained not only spatial storms but also other unpredictable dangers lurking within, including some strange creatures that had attacked him several times.
Fortunately, with his Bright Spirit Eyes for early detection and the Heavenly Phoenix's spatial manipulation abilities, he had managed to get through safely, albeit with some close calls.
At this moment, the seven-colored light around the Heavenly Phoenix had dimmed significantly compared to the beginning, and a trace of fatigue could be seen in its eyes.
Maintaining the transformation for a long time consumed considerable physical strength, but that was secondary. What worried Han Li was the bone armor on his body.
Cracks had appeared on the surface of the armor, and the white protective barrier around it had become thin, less than a third of its peak strength.
"If I had known this, I would have spent more time refining another treasure..."
Han Li smiled bitterly to himself but ultimately dismissed the thought. After all, there was no turning back now; whatever he said was too late.
He took a deep breath, and the seven-colored light on his body intensified as his flying speed increased again.
However, after flying for less than a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he let out a soft exclamation.
Ahead, within the spatial storm, a faint white light appeared. Though weak, it stood firm amidst the storm.
"Could it be..."
Han Li was startled, and a possibility arose in his mind. He urged his遁光 to increase speed again, flying swiftly toward the white light.
As he advanced, the white light grew brighter, and an inexplicable, noble aura emanated from it, as if it were the holy land of countless realms, lofty and unattainable.
He vaguely remembered this aura—it was the aura of the immortal realm!
"Finally..." Han Li felt excited and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his luck wasn't too bad. Otherwise, once the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor shattered, relying on himself alone, he might have been buried in this inter-realm gap today.
Although his body was quite fatigued, the sight before him still lifted his spirits.
As long as he could return to the immortal realm, he would naturally find a way to uncover the massive organization that had placed a bounty on him and then trace the clues to discover the truth behind his amnesia and severe injuries from years ago.
"Eh!"
After flying for a distance, Han Li was slightly startled and slowed down his flying speed.
Ahead, within the spatial turbulence, a huge yellow object floated, hundreds of miles in size, round and bulging, looking at first glance like a giant bubble.
The rolling spatial storms around it were repelled upon contact, unable to damage it in the slightest.
Moreover, this mysterious bubble was not empty; something could be faintly seen inside.
A layer of blue light appeared in Han Li's eyes as he focused his gaze, but soon his expression darkened slightly.
Even his Bright Spirit Eyes could not penetrate the bubble; there was a strange force inside that blocked his vision!
A trace of curiosity arose in Han Li's heart, but he quickly shook his head.
This bubble was quite peculiar, and his current situation was not good. It was better not to invite trouble and to reach the immortal realm as soon as possible.
With this thought, the Heavenly Phoenix that Han Li had transformed into spread its wings, made a detour, and flew past the yellow bubble.
At that moment, the spatial storm around him suddenly became violently turbulent.
Boom!
A tremendous force emerged from within, striking the Heavenly Phoenix he had transformed into with great force.
"What is that!" Han Li was startled.
This force was immense, certainly no less than a full-powered strike from him.
The Heavenly Phoenix's body was sent flying sideways, involuntarily crashing into the yellow bubble.
The yellow bubble, which could easily repel spatial storms, did not bounce the Heavenly Phoenix away upon contact. Instead, with a soft "pop," his body directly entered it.
Han Li felt a dizzying spin, but after flapping his wings several times, he barely managed to stabilize himself.
Although the impact was powerful, it was not enough to injure his current physical body.
When he looked around, he was stunned.
This was a tranquil yellow world. The violent spatial turbulence outside had completely disappeared, and the air was filled with yellow light. Below, a landmass hundreds of miles in size floated, like an island.
The spiritual energy within this yellow space was extremely rich, a hundred times stronger than the best spiritual land in the Spirit Huan Realm. The island was covered with lush forests, and every tree seemed to be at least a thousand years old.
The forest contained numerous spiritual materials, many of which were thousands of years old, and there were also many tens of thousands of years old spiritual herbs, most of which he did not recognize.
This island was simply a treasure trove everywhere.
After a moment's thought, Han Li's body flashed with seven-colored light as he reverted to human form. He flipped his hand and took out a blue, glowing pill and swallowed it.
This pill, called the Heavenly Star Pill, was a secret recipe of the Jingyuan Temple, refined from several peculiar spiritual herbs that could absorb some of the power of the stars. For him, who had cultivated the Little Big Dipper Star Origin Art, it was the best recovery pill.
The Heavenly Star Pill turned into a warm current that quickly flowed through his body.
His fatigued body seemed to be infused with a powerful vitality, recovering rapidly.
Han Li's expression relaxed. He did not hastily land but activated his Bright Spirit Eyes to carefully examine his surroundings.
He felt that the previous incident was somewhat suspicious, as if someone had deliberately caused it.
Just then, a roar that shook the heavens came from below.
The entire island trembled, and a massive yellow cloud rose from the forest, rushing toward Han Li in the air like lightning, reaching him in an instant.
Within the yellow cloud, a vague, enormous figure could be seen, seemingly a giant.
Boom!
A huge yellow fist emerged from the yellow cloud, its surface skin yellow and withered, like tree roots, extremely rough.
As soon as it appeared, it carried an indescribably terrifying force, striking at Han Li.
Before the fist arrived, the surrounding void began to ripple violently.
Han Li's pupils contracted. He let out a low shout, and seven points of blue light on his lower abdomen suddenly blazed brightly as he fully activated the Little Big Dipper Star Origin Art.
His entire body faintly emitted a starlight radiance, with seven thick beams of starlight缠绕 around him. He also punched out.
Boom!
The void around him suddenly exploded, unleashing visible ripples in circles.
After completing the Little Big Dipper Star Origin Art, even without transforming, the immense force contained in this punch was enough to rival that of the previous Yellow Turban Giant.
The two fists collided.
A deafening sound erupted, and the surrounding void twisted violently, then suddenly burst into circles of airwaves, instantly forming white tornadoes that shot outward.
Han Li was sent flying by the immense force, traveling several hundred feet before barely stopping.
The giant within the yellow cloud also trembled visibly, stepping back two paces before steadying itself.
Then, the yellow cloud around the giant was swept away by the tornadoes, revealing the figure inside.
