Chapter 340: Luring in the Enemy

900 feet...

800 feet...

700 feet...

Under the pressure exerted by the gray light emanating from the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain, the golden ripples being released by the Mantra Treasured Axis were constantly being compressed, while the pillar of white light began to steadily accelerate.

At this rate, it wasn't going to take much longer before the pillar of white light broke through the shackles of time to reach Han Li.

Large droplets of sweat began to bead up on Han Li's forehead, and he could clearly sense the sharp pain in his soul being exacerbated as the white light approached him.

His expression had darkened significantly, and he was constantly injecting more immortal spiritual power into his Mantra Treasured Axis, but that was only slightly slowing down the rate at which the golden ripples were being compressed.

A pleased look appeared in the silver-robed young man's eyes upon seeing this, and he opened his mouth to release a ball of black light, within which countless black runes were dancing incessantly.

He quickly made a hand seal, and the ball of black light split up into two parts, one of which fused into the giant inkstone, while the other vanished into the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain.

The inkstone and the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain immediately began to glow even brighter, while the gray space around Han Li had virtually taken on a substantial form.

Countless waves of gray ripples were surging forth incessantly to further compress the golden ripples around Han Li, forcing it down to a radius of less than 500 feet.

The pillar of white light grew even brighter, and countless white runes were dancing around within it. It seemed as if it were about to break free from the golden ripples, and the golden ripples immediately around it were illuminated white as the pillar of white light continued to close in on Han Li at a rate that was discernible to the naked eye.

Han Li's complexion began to pale, and despite his best efforts, the golden ripples around him were constantly being shrunk down by the surrounding gray light.

At this point, the pillar of white light was already no more than 200 feet away from him.

The silver-robed young man could already taste his imminent victory, and he made a hand seal once again, upon which another burst of black light emerged from his body.

Right at this moment, a resounding boom rang out behind him, and a golden crab pincer projection the size of a house emerged. The projection was enveloped in countless arcs of golden lightning and giving off formidable law power fluctuations as it hurtled toward the silver-robed young man at an incredible speed.

The silver-robed young man's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly switched to a different hand seal, and a suit of armor instantly appeared over his body amid a flash of black light.

The suit of armor was of a purplish-black color, and its helmet had been crafted in the shape of a dragon's head, while several spikes could be seen on the knee and shoulder joints. The entire suit of armor was also riddled with black patterns and giving off immense baleful qi.

The golden crab pincer struck the suit of purplish-black armor with an earth-shattering boom, and the silver-robed young man was sent flying, while a series of shallow cracks had also appeared on the surface of the suit of armor.

Even with the suit of armor acting as a buffer, a burst of tremendous force was still transferred into the silver-robed young man's body, churning up his internal organs and causing him to throw up a mouthful of blood.

After he was sent flying, the giant inkstone lost its source of immortal spiritual power, and it finally fizzled out no more than 100 feet away from Han Li.

The Integrated Five Extremes Mountain was still hovering above Han Li's head, but the gray light that it was projecting downward had also become rather unstable.

The gray space around Han Li also rippled slightly, and the restrictive force that it was exerting was significantly diminished.

He immediately pounced on this opportunity, releasing several balls of light out of his body that transformed into a series of true spirit projections.

The projections circled around him momentarily before vanishing into his body, and a layer of purplish-golden light surfaced over his skin as his body swelled drastically, transforming into a purplish-golden giant with three heads and six arms.

At the same time, countless golden scales and silver spirit patterns appeared over his skin, and seven specks of dazzling starlight also emerged on his lower abdomen.

An enormous aura then erupted out of his body, causing the surrounding gray space to shudder violently.

The purplish-golden giant made a grabbing motion with one hand, and a huge azure sword appeared in its grasp before being swung down viciously.

An enormous crescent-shaped streak of azure swordlight swept through the air with thick arcs of golden lightning surging around it before crashing into the gray light barrier.

A resounding crack rang out, and this time, a gash was torn into the gray space, revealing the outside world.

The purplish-golden giant immediately flew out through that opening at an incredible speed, following which a vertical black split open on his glabella.

A pillar of translucent light shot out of the vertical eye, then transformed into an indistinct sword that vanished without a trace in a flash.

In the next instant, the sword appeared behind the silver-robed young man's head without any warning before plunging directly forward.

Even though the silver-robed young man had been injured by the previous blow, his reactions remained quite sharp, and he hurriedly swept a hand through the air to conjure up a black palm projection that grabbed toward the translucent sword.

However, in the instant that the black palm projection closed itself around the sword, the latter abruptly vanished.

The silver-robed young man faltered slightly upon seeing this, and before he had a chance to figure out what had happened, the translucent sword reappeared in his mind before slashing viciously down upon his soul.

"Argh!"

The silver-robed young man let loose a bloodcurdling howl as he threw his hands onto his own head.

Right at this moment, Daoist Xie appeared beside the silver-robed young man before spreading its hands open, and a pair of enormous balls of golden lightning appeared before it, both of which were as massive as mountains.

Thick arcs of golden lightning were flashing incessantly over their surfaces, presenting a formidable sight to behold.

Furthermore, the balls of lightning were releasing countless golden lightning runes, each of which was the size of a table and giving off fierce law fluctuations.

Daoist Xie then joined its palms together, and the two massive balls of lightning fused as one before transforming into a gargantuan golden lightning sword amid a rumbling thunderclap.

Golden halos were proliferating in all directions from the giant sword, and all of the surrounding black mist was instantly scattered.

The entire surrounding space in a radius of several dozen kilometers began to buzz audibly, and countless five-colored balls of light formed by the world's origin qi emerged before converging toward the giant sword in a frenzy.

Five-colored light was also surging over the surface of the giant lightning sword, causing the nearby space to ripple and quiver.

All of a sudden, the entirety of heaven and earth had taken on a completely different complexion, and before the silver-robed young man had a chance to react, the giant sword had already crashed down upon him.

Countless cracks appeared on his suit of purplish-black armor before it exploded amid a resounding boom, and his body was also inundated by a vast expanse of lightning before exploding into countless pieces.

Nearby, Han Li had already reverted back to his original form, and he heaved a faint sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Right at this moment, a tiny burst of black light emerged from the silver-robed young man's torn up remains, and it immediately vanished into thin air.

Blue light flashed within Han Li's eyes upon seeing this, and a beam of black light shot out of the vertical eye on his glabella, striking a certain spot in the air in a flash before vanishing into it.

A dull thump rang out as that patch of space shuddered, following which a vast expanse of black light emerged, and a tiny black figure that was only several inches tall stumbled out into the open.

This was none other than the silver-robed young man's nascent soul, and even though it had been forcibly revealed by Han Li's Law Destruction Eye, it hadn't sustained any injuries. However, there was a furious look on its face, and it was just about to make a hand seal when a burst of spatial fluctuations erupted out of the nearby area, following which a translucent chain shot out before wrapping itself around the nascent soul like lightning.

The entire chain was giving off translucent silver light and it had a rather insubstantial appearance.

An alarmed look appeared on the nascent soul's face, and it struggled with all its might to break free, but the chain remained as resolute as ever.

In the next instant, Han Li and Daoist Xie appeared right beside the nascent soul, and the latter was holding a pair of treasures in its hands, namely the black inkstone and the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain.

Without the support of the silver-robed young man's immortal spiritual power, Daoist Xie was able to seize these two treasures with ease.

The nascent soul seemed to know that it wouldn't have been able to escape no matter what, and it took a glance at Han Li before turning its gaze to Daoist Xie.

"I didn't think that you would have such a trump card up your sleeve. And this chain, if I'm not mistaken this is a spiritual sense chain, so you must've cultivated some type of forbidden technique, right?" the nascent soul asked in a calm voice.

Han Li paid no heed to the nascent soul as he swept a hand through the air to release a burst of azure light, which swept downward before retrieving a pair of storage treasures, the very same ones that the pair of black-robed guards had been carrying.

After that, he released a burst of crimson flames to sweep up silver-robed young man's remains, and after his body had been completely incinerated, the crimson flames surged back, carrying a black ring with it.

Han Li stowed these items away in an unhurried manner, then turned to nascent soul as he asked, "Who are you and why have you repeatedly come after me? If you give me a satisfactory answer, I can grant you a quick and painless death."

"If you're going to kill me, then do it! I'm not going to answer any of your questions!" the nascent soul replied with a cold smile.

Han Li didn't say anything further as he reached out with one hand to grab onto the nascent soul's head, and a burst of black light erupted out of his hand, enveloping the nascent soul before attempting to infiltrate its body.

The nascent soul's face instantly became twisted with pain, but a mocking sneer appeared in its eyes as it spat through gritted teeth, "To think that a mere True Immortal like you would attempt to search a Golden Immortal's soul. What a joke!"

Han Li paid no heed to the nascent soul's mockery as he continued to unleash his soul search technique with all his might.

Waves of black light surged out of the palm of his hand to envelop the nascent soul, but sure enough, his efforts proved to be futile.

"It's no use, Fellow Daoist Han. There is an evolution in one's nascent soul from the True Immortal Stage to the Golden Immortal Stage, so there's no way you'll be able to search his soul. As for me, I'm just a puppet, so I can't use any soul search technique, either," Daoist Xie said.

Han Li slowly released the nascent soul upon hearing this.

The nascent soul heaved a sigh of relief, following which a cold sneer appeared on its face as he said, "If you dare to kill me, then Xiao Jinhan will hunt you down no matter where you go! If you let me go, I can swear a soul vow to settle our differences, and on top of that, I can give you some compensation as well."
