Wang Yu

Chapter 730 Unexpected Turn of Events

“Mo Guang, Fellow Daoist!” Han Li's eyes flashed, and he shouted.

Without a word, Mo Guang waved his sleeves fiercely, and billowing black mist, like substance, gushed out from his body, transforming into eight black mist dragons, dancing up and down like octopus tentacles, constantly striking the karma fire millstone flying towards them.

"Bang bang bang..."

Bursts of roaring sounds rang out continuously, and large swaths of black sparks shot out, with wisps of flames winding up the black mist dragons, heading straight for Mo Guang.

Mo Guang frowned, seemingly surprised. He shook his sleeves violently, and a silent aura immediately spread out, dispersing the karma fire black flames.

Those scattered sparks of karma fire splashed on Hu San's body, instantly flashing like fireworks, and were bounced away by the emerald light on his surface.

He only felt a dense baleful aura penetrate his body, and his sea of consciousness seemed to be struck a heavy blow, emitting a buzzing sound. However, under the protection of the Jade Peak Spirit Subduing Talisman, he only felt slightly dizzy and no fierce aura arose.

Unexpectedly, one wave had barely subsided when another arose!

As these karma fire millstones continued to fly, the fire pool below became even more restless. The rolling black flames transformed into a black fire wall with a燎天 (liáo tiān - prairie fire) momentum, rushing towards them.

Seeing this, Shi Chuan Kong pressed down on the pipa strings with his thumb and plucked them fiercely.

A burst of intense sonic waves, accompanied by powerful spatial force, pushed forward, like a ten-thousand-ton giant ship rushing through, colliding with the high wall of karma fire and directly smashing a gap several zhang high.

Shi Chuan Kong held the strings tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest. The sonic waves continued unabated, struggling to maintain the gap.

"Go quickly, I can't hold on for too long," Shi Chuan Kong said urgently, his teeth clenched.

Han Li did not hesitate any further. A layer of golden light enveloped and expanded, transforming into a Time Domain that enveloped the surrounding space, and he flew forward rapidly.

However, when the golden domain touched the karma fire, strands of dense baleful aura immediately permeated in from all directions, penetrating directly into Han Li's body along the spiritual domain.

Han Li grunted, and a monstrous wave rose in his sea of consciousness. An extremely intense sense of fierceness erupted, almost swallowing him in an instant.

Fortunately, he had already fully activated the Spirit Refining Art in advance, preventing him from being controlled by the sudden burst of baleful aura.

Immediately afterward, the runes on the white snow peak standing in his sea of consciousness shone brightly, and bursts of invisible fluctuations rippled out, gradually suppressing the monstrous waves within the sea of consciousness.

Accompanying this, the light of Han Li's spiritual domain dimmed further under the burning of the karma fire.

His brow furrowed, and he let out a low shout. With a wave of his sleeve, several green light chains shot out simultaneously, entangling Bai Li Yan and the others. The True Words Treasure Wheel in his body rapidly reversed, and his figure suddenly lunged forward, carrying everyone out of the gap in the fire wall in an instant.

As soon as they leaped out, Shi Chuan Kong couldn't hold on any longer and withdrew his hooked fingers, covered in sweat, with bloodstains on his fingertips.

Without the support of the sonic waves, the black fire wall re-converged, and the flames churned violently.

However, the rapidly passing group was now less than ten zhang away from the karma fire passage leading to the Soul Cleansing Zone.

"Finally here..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Just as they were about to rush into the passage in one go, an unexpected change occurred!

At the entrance of the passage, a circle of rune formations suddenly lit up. The black karma fire that had been flowing out slowly suddenly surged out like a flood.

The rolling karma fire rushed head-on. The distance was too short, and Han Li and the others were caught off guard, instantly scattered, and fell into the fire pool below.

The black flames in the fire pool also surged up, immediately engulfing them.

As soon as Han Li fell into the karma fire, he immediately realized that the spiritual connections he had established with the others through the Jade Peak Spirit Subduing Talisman had been severed. Before he could investigate in detail, the black karma fire had already surged in from all directions, attaching to his dark green armor and burning fiercely.

Bursts of extremely intense baleful aura, accompanied by rolling heat waves, penetrated his body. The dark green armor couldn't stop it. Han Li immediately felt a tightness around his body, as if he were being wrapped in layers of chains, and the baleful aura entrenched in the immortal apertures in his body began to stir.

Fortunately, his spirit was still strictly guarded, and he was not disturbed by the baleful aura, so he did not fall into madness.

Han Li let out a soft shout, and golden light flashed behind him. The True Words Treasure Wheel roared out, releasing bursts of golden light.

Wherever the light reached, the surging and swaying black karma fire seemed to be frozen, almost motionless, but the heat and baleful aura emanating from it did not diminish in the slightest.

Han Li frowned, and his figure suddenly leaped up, flying out of the fire pool with the True Words Treasure Wheel.

However, before he could stabilize his body, a piece of dark cloud seemed to weigh down from above, and a dark light heavily fell down.

When he looked up, he saw a pitch-black square seal the size of a millstone, almost unaffected by the laws of time, falling towards him. The four characters "包罗万象 (bāo luó wàn xiàng - embracing all things)" engraved at the bottom were as red as blood, and there seemed to be a soul-stirring power within, making him unable to break free.

In shock, Han Li didn't have time to figure out what was happening. He raised his fist and smashed it towards the black seal.

A huge azure fist shadow rushed up, instantly growing as large as a house, and heavily bombarded the black seal.

With a loud crash, the azure fist shadow almost instantly couldn't hold on and shattered into countless fragments.

An azure airwave激荡 (jīdàng - surge) towards the four directions, but the black square seal directly suppressed it.

Han Li shouted violently, and the muscles on his body swelled violently, directly transforming into a mountain giant ape more than ten zhang tall. He propped up his arms and pushed the black seal above.

With a muffled sound, the black square seal, which seemed to be only the size of a millstone, suddenly grew several times larger and fell into Han Li's hands.

Han Li groaned, feeling as if it weighed ten thousand mountains. With his current physical strength, he still found it difficult to resist and was directly forced back into the fire pool.

He now understood that it was not that the seal was unaffected by the laws of time, but that the power contained in it was so terrifying that it could affect space to a certain extent, which was why it seemed to be hitting him without any resistance.

If there was no Time Law to cushion it, the speed of this black seal would probably be even faster, and the power it contained would probably be even more terrifying.

"Tsk tsk, Time Law, True Spirit Bloodline... Your methods are indeed not weak. No wonder you dared to sneak into the Lawless Zone. Tell me, who are you people? From the Samsara Domain? Or from the Heavenly Court?" At this moment, a strange laugh came, and a hoarse voice said.

Han Li supported the black giant seal with both hands, his body covered with purple-gold scales, trying to resist the erosion of the karma fire. He looked towards the source of the sound.

He saw a person standing one foot above the broken bridgehead.

He was wearing a black robe with a black oily sheen, and a strange high crown on his head. His face was also a ghastly white, and the gray-white color in his eyes was extremely dense, even thicker than that of Mo Yu back then.

His appearance was somewhat feminine, almost like a woman. He couldn't be said to be very pretty, but he wasn't as cold as the Nine Nether Race people he had seen before. Instead, he had a slight smile on his face, which made Han Li feel a chill in his heart.

What frightened Han Li the most was that this person's cultivation was as deep as the sea, and he was actually a Grand Luo level cultivator.

Behind him stood two strange aliens with bull horns, all with indifferent expressions and expressionless faces.

Those two horned aliens seemed to be of the same race as those Han Li had seen in Refining Wraith Fort. The difference was that these two were obviously finished products. White pointed bones protruded from their arms and shoulders, and they were wrapped in circles of pitch-black chains with a metallic luster.

At the other end of the chains, a figure was tied into a zongzi (粽子 - rice dumpling).

When Han Li looked closely, he found that it was Hu San. At this time, his eyes were closed, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

In the void on the other side, seven or eight armored Nether Servants were also holding black chains, surrounding Shi Chuan Kong, who was holding a silver pipa, in the center.

Those armored Nether Servants were also somewhat different from those he had seen before. The scales under their eyelids were not gray-white, but pitch-black. A huge hole was exposed in their chests, as if a fire pit was embedded in it, burning with black karma fire.

The black chains in their hands all flew out, wrapped in raging karma fire, and wrapped around from all directions, forming a spherical cage to enclose Shi Chuan Kong.

With a "铮 (zhēng)" sound, Shi Chuan Kong plucked the strings fiercely. A layer of silver light rippled out, transforming into a layer of spatial barrier, propping open the black chains.

Seeing this, two of the armored Nether Servants floated over and rushed directly towards the spherical cage. Strange inscriptions lit up in the fire pits in their chests. Two groups of pitch-black karma fire first contracted, and then suddenly burst open.

A huge burst of impact exploded from within, and the spatial barrier that Shi Chuan Kong had struggled to prop up was shattered.

Not far away, Bai Li Yan's arms had turned pitch-black, with uneven black scales like thorns protruding. His hands had also turned into two huge dragon claws, also wrapped in wisps of black flames. The aura emanating from them was completely different from that of the fire pool below. Obviously, he had been forced to release the karma fire that he had finally suppressed, again.

Unlike Shi Chuan Kong, he only had one opponent.

But when Han Li saw the face of that person clearly, the shock in his heart reached its peak.

Because this person was none other than Su Liu!

At this time, Su Liu no longer had the aura of an immortal. The armor he had been wearing had disappeared. His upper body was bare, covered with shocking stitched wounds. A large hole was also dug in his chest, with a hollow iron ball-like thing embedded in it, covered with dense runes, with faint karma fire rising.

On his shoulders and arms, two pitch-black chains were worn like sewing thread, completely piercing his two arms and extending out from the palms of his hands. At the end of each chain was a black double-edged axe and a spiked meteor hammer.

Seeing this situation, Han Li's pupils shrank suddenly.

He noticed that Su Liu's eyes had lost their original luster and had also turned gray-white. The whole person looked extremely baleful, almost like a Gray Immortal.
