<h4>Chapter 685: Loss of All Six Senses</h4>


    <i>Is the restriction here devouring all light? No, the problem is that my eyes can no longer see! </i>


    As soon as this realization dawned on him, a grim look instantly appeared on Han Li''s face.


    At this moment, he was unable to release his spiritual sense, and his eyesight had been sealed, leaving himpletely vulnerable, should there be any more arrowsing his way.


    Sure enough, as soon as this thought sprang into his mind, another piercing shriek rang out up ahead.


    Han Li hurriedly turned to use his hearing to determine the direction that the arrow wasing from, then attempted to sidestep the projectile, but a cold sensation shed over his lower abdomen, followed by a burst of intense pain that caused him to give another muffled groan.


    Han Liid a hand onto his lower abdomen to find that arge chunk of flesh was missing there, seemingly having been eaten away by something.


    He immediately channeled his Great Universe Origin Arts, and bursts of cool energy surged toward the wounds on his shoulder and his lower abdomen from his thirty-six profound acupoints.


    After mastering the Great Universe Origin Arts, not only had he attained incredible strength, his regenerative abilities also improved significantly, and the pain from his two wounds was instantly significantly alleviated.


    At the same time, he swept a sleeve through the air to release the nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, the blue shield, the golden lock, and the Profound Heavenly Gourd from his body.


    All of his other immortal treasures were in his storage tools, which he was no longer able to sense, so they were inessible to him.


    Before he had a chance to do anything else, another piercing shriek rang out.


    Upon determining the location of the arrow with his hearing, Han Li immediately threw a punch in that direction.


    The nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords also instantly shot forth before intertwining with one another to form a giant azure sword lotus flower that descended upon the ck arrow.


    At the same time, a burst of green light shot out of the mouth of the gourd toward the arrow, while the blue shield swelled to several dozen feet in size before positioning itself in front of him.


    As for the golden lock, it wasn''t a defensive immortal treasure, but it was also serving as a shield.


    However, in the next instant, Han Li felt another cold sensation over his lower abdomen, followed by a burst of excruciating pain, and he was sent flying backward as blood came gushing out of his mouth.


    He was unable to see, but he could feel that arge hole had been pierced through his lower abdomen, and it felt as if his internal organs were being simultaneously burned by scorching mes and eaten away by corrosive acid.


    He fell heavily onto the ground, then immediately sprang to his feet.


    Such an injury wasn''t enough topletely disable him, and he was channeling his Great Universe Origin Arts with all his might to elerate his recovery.


    <i>What the hell is happening? </i>Han Li thought to himself in a bewildered manner.


    Through his spiritual connection with his immortal treasures, he was able to sense that the ck arrow of light had pierced straight through them as if it had no substantial form at all.


    At this moment, Han Li couldn''t help but feel a little panicked. Losing his sight and spiritual sense was already terrible, and now, it seemed like there was no way for him to defend himself from these fearsome ck arrows.


    Before he had a chance to think of a way out of this predicament, that familiar shriek rang out once again.


    Topound his woes even further, the ck arrows seemed to being faster and faster.


    Han Li immediately positioned all of his immortal treasures in front of himself once again, and he also summoned his Mantra Treasured Axis, which released waves of golden ripples in all directions while he dodged to the side.


    A faint thud rang out as Han Li was sent flying once again, this time with the arrow piercing through his shoulder.


    In the next instant, he sprang back to his feet, and he was feeling even more panicked.


    His trump card, his Mantra Treasured Axis, hadpletely failed him!


    Right at this moment, a stunned look appeared on his face as his entire body stiffened.


    The surrounding area had fallenpletely silent.


    He had lost his sense of hearing...


    Han Li''s heart immediately sank.


    Without his hearing, how could he determine the location of the arrows? Was he not just a sitting duck at this point?


    All of a sudden, he felt a gust of wind nce over his skin, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, but he had only just sprung into motion when a burst of excruciating agony tore through his chest, sending him flying once again.


    Arge hole had been punched through his chest, but thankfully, it had missed his heart.


    He sprang to his feet once again with his expression twisted with panic and fury.


    Without his spiritual sense, eyesight, and hearing, there was no way that he could evade those arrows.


    Even with his tremendous regenerative abilities, all it would take would be a single arrow through one of his vital regions to put an end to his life.


    Was he going to die here?


    Han Li let loose a desperate roar as he paid no further heed to the threat of the arrows and rushed forward with all his might.


    However, in the next instant, yet another arrow came flying at him.


    At this moment, he was flying forward with all his might, so he was unable to take any evasive action, and a burst of intense pain shot through his right arm, following which his entire arm was amputated at the shoulder.


    Han Li gritted his teeth through the pain as he continued to fly onward with all his might.


    All of a sudden, hsi expression stiffened once again.


    His body was drenched in blood at this point, but he couldn''t smell any of it.


    <i>Have I lost my sense of smell as well? </i>


    Immediately thereafter, yet another arrow shot forth from up ahead, this time piercing through his right leg.


    He continued to forge ahead while disregarding his injuries, but he was bing more and more frustrated by the second.


    It seemed that there was no end to this dark passageway, and for the first time since arriving in the True Immortal Realm, he was plunged intoplete despair.


    However, there was one final shred of rity in his mind, and it urged him not to give up.


    In the blink of an eye, he was struck by seven or eight more arrows, blowing several morerge holes into his body. The only silver lining was that he still had his sense of touch, so he was able to sense the wind swept up by the arrows and dodge at thest second, thereby allowing him to save his vital regions from being struck.


    However, even with his tremendous physical constitution, he was starting to grow a little woozy from his severe injuries.


    <i>I can''t keep going like this! </i>


    All of a sudden, Han Li stopped in his tracks, then descended onto the ground, gasping for air.


    He had thought that the passageway wouldn''t be very long, that he would be able to reach the end in a short time if he were to fly at full speed, but he was clearly incorrect in his evaluation.


    He channeled his Great Universe Origin Arts with all his might in an attempt to recover from his injuries, but they were far too severe for his regenerative abilities to keep up with.


    <i>What do I do? </i>


    Han Li''s mind was racing as he tried to think of a way out of this dire situation.


    Right at this moment, his expression stiffened once again.


    He had lost his sense of touch!


    With the deprivation of his sense of touch, all possibility of him evading the ck arrows had been erased.


    Right at this moment, a cold sensation pierced through his dantian, followed by the all-too-familiar burst of excruciating pain.


    Han Li wanted to roar in indignation, but was unable to utter even a single sound.


    With the destruction of his dantian and his nascent soul, his consciousness was quicky fading into darkness, and he was unable to hold on despite his desperate efforts to do so.


    Right at this moment, the alluring figure of Nangong Wan sprang into his mind.


    "Wan''er!" Han Li yelled from the bottom of his heart, and what remained of his consciousness clung stubbornly to this ne of existence, refusing to dissipate.


    He couldn''t die here... There were so many things that he still had to do... He couldn''t give up!


    Han Li clung desperately onto his final shred with lucidity with all his might, refusing to sink into the abyss.


    Time passed by in an agonizingly slow fashion, and after what seemed like an eternity, a faint crack rang out within his mind, as if something had shattered.


    In the next instant, an enormous flow of warmth surged into Han Li''s consciousness, causing him to involuntarily rx and pass out.


    "Fellow Daoist Li! Fellow Daoist Li!"


    An urgent voice rang out beside Han Li''s ears, and initially, it seemed to be from another world, but it was slowly bing clearer and clearer.


    Han Li''s consciousness slowly returned to him, and he discovered that he was standing in an azure pce with his bodypletely unscathed.


    At this moment, Immortal Lord Hot me was standing beside him, watching him with a concerned expression.


    "What just... How..."


    Han Li was stumbling over his words as he struggled to fathom what he had just experienced.


    He quickly inspected his surroundings as he spoke, and he discovered that there was a dark passageway behind him, the very same one that they had passed through at the entrance of the pce.


    Bursts of ck light were shing incessantly within the passageway while constantly taking on all types of different forms, and it was as if they had a life of their own.


    "This is Patriarch Miro''s Six Senses True Mantra Restriction. I only recalled it after I entered the passageway. The restriction is one that refines the mind by dragging you into an illusion where you''re deprived of all six of your senses," Immortal Lord Hot me exined.


    "That was an illusion? It felt even more realistic than reality," Han Li said with a wry smile.


    "Those with insufficient mental fortitude willpletely lose consciousness after being stripped of one or two of their senses, causing them to be forever lost in the array. Very few people are able to evenst until their third or fourth senses are deprived.


    “This restriction''s primary purpose is to ward off external enemies, but it was also used as a test of willpower by our sect''s disciples. I''ve experienced the restriction on several past asions, and that''s why I was able to ovee it.


    “In contrast, you stepped into this restrictionpletely unprepared, yet you were still able to make your way out, and that shows incredible mental fortitude," Immortal Lord Hot me said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.


    "You''re far too kind, Fellow Daiost Hot me. I was simply extremely fortunate to have ovee the restriction," Han Li said with a wave of his hand, and internally, he was feeling a little disgruntled.


    Immortal Lord Hot me seemed to have sensed Han Li''s displeasure, and he exined, "My apologies, Fellow Daoist Li, I had no idea that this restriction had been set up here. The restriction is an extremely perilous one, but it can also benefit one immensely. In particr, one stands to gain the most from their first time experiencing the restriction. Take a look and see if your spiritual sense has been enhanced, Fellow Daoist Li."
