Chapter 338: Might of the Treasured Axis
In the face of the pair of oing guards, Han Li disyed no intention to take evasive measures. Instead, bright golden light emerged over his entire body as he flew directly toward the horde of ghostly heads.
The portly guard let loose a loud roar as he swept his sleeves through the air, and all of the starry sand converged toward Han Li before exploding violently into huge balls of lightning that inundated the entire sky, presenting a formidable sight to behold.
At the same time, the thin guard pointed a finger in Han Li''s direction, and all of the ghostly heads in the sky abruptly swelled drastically in size before opening their mouths to send bursts of ck light hurtling directly toward Han Li.
The ck light didn''t appear to have been all that remarkable, but they were giving off an extremely corrosive aura, and the space in their wake was rippling incessantly, as if the streaks of light were capable of corroding the very air itself.
The golden light radiating from Han Li''s body brightened, and he suddenly transformed into a golden blur, elerating drastically as he flew directly into the oing attacks.
Not only had he be extraordinarily fast, he was also disying immacte bodily control, weaving back and forth through the lightning and ck light, and he was always able to just barely squeeze through right before his body was inundated by the oing attacks.
This was all thanks to his Reversal True Axis ability, and the pair of guards hurriedly released their spiritual sense in an attempt to track down Han Li''s location, but they werepletely unable to keep up with his speed, and it was often the case that as soon as they spotted Han Li, he would already be gone.
The surrounding lightning and ck light were all extremely fast and formidable attacks, but he was making them appear downright slow and sluggish, and the pair of guards were astonished to see this.
Before they had a chance to do anything, Han Li had already passed through the vast expanse of lightning and ck light, then appeared no more than 1,000 feet in front of them in a wraith-like manner.
At this point, the dazzling golden light radiating from his body had already faded, and only now did the pair of guards manage to react, flying back in retreat with astonishment in their eyes.
However, aste-True Immortal cultivators, they possessed a vast wealth of battle experience, and they immediately devised strategies to counteract Han Li.
The portly guard opened his mouth to release a pair of triangr shields that revolved around him briefly before transforming into a thick light barrier, and at the same time, all of the starlight in the sky transformed into countless starlight rings that swept toward Han Li.
Meanwhile, the thin guard was chanting an incantation, and a string of loud cracks were ringing out from within his body as he rapidly swelled in size while his skin and flesh quickly peeled away, turning him into a massive ck skeleton that was over 100 feet tall in the blink of an eye.
The ck skeleton was giving off an enormous aura that was close to twice as formidable as before, and red light was shing within its eye sockets as it spread open its huge hands.
Its fingers resembled giant ck swords with ck mes surging around them, and it reached out to make a grab for Han Li''s head.
It was clear from their immacte teamwork that these two had been fighting alongside one another for a long time, and weren''t giving Han Li any opportunity to strike.
However, right at this moment, dazzling golden light erupted out of Han Li''s body again, and a golden wheel appeared behind him before rapidly revolving on the spot.
Ayer of golden ripples then surged forth from his body, instantly epassing the entire surrounding area in a radius of around 10,000 feet.
The two guards were also caught within the golden ripples, and their movements immediately became very slow and sluggish.
Additionally, the starlight rings that were falling out of the sky had alsoe to aplete standstill, as if they had been frozen in ce.
In truth, it wasn''t entirely urate to say that they had beenpletely stopped in their tracks. Instead, they had actually been slowed down to an extreme extent, to the point that it looked no different froming to aplete stop.
He''s using thews of time!
The silver-robed young man''s expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he immediately flew toward the pair of ck-robed guards, leaving the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords behind as he did so.
Meanwhile, Han Li had already transformed into a giant golden ape that was over 1,000 feet tall, and there were silver patterns all over his massive fists as he swung them viciously at the pair of guards.
In response, the two guards remainedpletely still, as if they were oblivious to the oing attack.
The light barrier around the portly guard''s body waspletely pulverized by a burst of tremendous force, and the giant fist wasn''t slowed down in the slightest as it crashed into his body.
At the same time, the other fist struck the ck skeleton that the thin guard had transformed into, and right after the two guards were struck by Han Li''s fists, all of the golden ripples in the air receded as the flow of time reverted back to its original speed.
The portly guard''s body instantly exploded into countless scraps of mangled flesh, while the ck skeleton was also shattered into countless bone shards.
Their two souls had also been restricted by the Mantra Treasured Axis, rendering thempletely unable to react, so they were also destroyed alongside their bodies.
All of this had taken ce in the blink of an eye, and the silver-robed young man had only just arrived in the sky above the giant ape with a furious look on his face.
Never had he imagined that Han Li would be able to y a pair ofte-True Immortal cultivators in such devastating fashion in such a brief span of time.
The silver-robed young man swept a hand through the air, and a streak of ck light flew toward him, containing a ck sword that was simr in shape to a beastly fang. The sword was riddled with countless ck runes that were giving offw fluctuations, and it swelled to around 1,000 feet in size in the blink of an eye, following which a ck wyrm projection appeared around it as it shed down upon the giant ape.
All of a sudden, the Mantra Treasured Axis behind the giant ape began to spin in reverse before vanishing into its body in a sh.
In the next instant, the giant ape abruptly vanished from the spot, and the huge ck sword struck nothing but empty air.
A trail of golden afterimages appeared in the air as the giant ape flew toward the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain in the distance at an incredible speed.
The silver-robed young man''s expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he hurriedly flew back as quickly as he could, but he was still far from being able to match the golden ape''s speed.
By the time the giant ape arrived in front of the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain, the silver-robed young man was only halfway there.
The golden ape immediately opened its mouth to release a ball of blood essence, which was instantly ignited into a burst of crimson mes with countless crimson runes dancing within it as it hurtled toward the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
The streak of crimson fire was able to pass through the gray light and gray cocoons without any inhibition before vanishing into the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, which immediately began to glow with bright azure light again.
At the same time, they were able to tear through the gray cocoons around them, but it seemed that they still weren''t going to be able to break free from the gray light anytime soon.
The silver-robed young man was furious to see this, and he was just about to make a hand seal when the giant ape suddenly turned around with bright golden light radiating from its fists, and its arms shed through the air in a blur as it unleashed a barrage of countless fist projections.
The barrage of golden fist projections swept toward the silver-robed young man with tremendous force, and even before they descended upon him, a burst of tremendous force had already epassed the entire space within a radius of about half a kilometer around him, causing him to slow down involuntarily.
The silver-robed young man was unable to evade the attack, so he could only sweep a sleeve through the air to release a ck shield, which transformed into a ck light barrier in front of him.
Countless fist projections crashed into the ck light barrier one after another before exploding violently, but the light barrier remainedpletely unmoved.
However, the silver-robed young man was also temporarily kept at bay.
Golden light shed over the giant ape''s entire body, and a second pair of arms abruptly emerged from its ribs amid a sh of golden light before quickly making a hand seal.
The 72 flying swords glowed even brighter as they fused as one to form a single giant azure sword with thick arcs of golden lightning shing over its surface amid rumbling thunderps.
The giant azure sword began to shudder violently, then transformed into a streak of azure swordlight that was over 1,000 feet in length before shing viciously against the surrounding gray light.
A peerlessly sharp aura erupted out of the streak of azure swordlight, causing all of the space in its wake to twist and warp incessantly.
A gash was finally torn into the surrounding gray light, and the streak of azure swordlight instantly shot out from within before returning to the giant ape''s side, where it reverted back into a giant azure sword.
Immediately thereafter, the giant ape''s body blurred, and it vanished from the spot along with the giant sword.
In the next instant, Han Li re-emerged over 10,000 feet away with arcs of lightning shing over his entire body, and the giant azure sword was also present beside him, but it had shrunk down to no more than 10 feet in length.
Han Li opened his mouth to release a ball of blood essence into the azure sword, and it immediately began to glow a shade of azure that was so bright that its radiance rivaled that of the sun.
The remaining ck coloration on the sword was instantly erased, and it let loose an ted ringing sound.
Meanwhile, the silver-robed young man remained still on the spot, watching Han Li with a dark expression as he made a beckoning motion to draw the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain back to himself.
The two stood in mid-air while looking back at one another, and neither of them was in any hurry to attack.
A short whileter, the silver-robed young man broke the silence. "Looks like I really did underestimate you."
Han Li paid no heed to him as he began to make a rapid string of hand seals.
The giant azure sword beside him split back up into 72 small swords, then circled around him momentarily before transforming into an azure sword array beneath him.
"I was going to take my time and y around with you a little, but it seems like you''re more of a pain to deal with than I expected. In that case, I''ll just crush you now, then slowly torture your soul," the silver-robed harrumphed coldly.
As soon as his voice trailed off, he swept a sleeve through the air to release a streak of ck light, which transformed into a ck inkstone treasure.
The inkstone was very antiquated in appearance, and as soon as it appeared, countless tiny golden runes immediately surged out of it in a frenzy.
At the same time, it was giving off a burst of peculiarw fluctuations.
The silver-robed young man''s aura also began to swell, and the enormous spiritual pressure that was emanating from his body was causing the nearby space to warp and shudder.
Han Li''s pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this.
The silver-robed young man was finally disying his full cultivation base, and just as Han Li anticipated, he was a Golden Immortal cultivator.
However, his aura was still far inferior to the likes of Daoist Hu Yan and Yun Ni, and it was rather unstable, indicating that he had only recently progressed to the Golden Immortal Stage and hadn''t had a chance to consolidate his cultivation base yet.
Even so, he was still a Golden Immortal cultivator, which was iparable rtive to ate-True Immortal cultivator.
