"Boom!" A deafening roar echoed.

A surge of overwhelming, unparalleled force erupted from the collision point of the Demonic Light and the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal, transforming into an invisible shockwave that rippled outwards, causing the mountain walls to tremble and rocks to tumble.

The black spear bent sharply before snapping back, catapulting the Demonic Light's body upwards into the depths of the abyss.

Han Li watched as the Demonic Light's figure was flung back into the billowing Demonic Qi, his heart sinking. If not for the Demonic Light occupying a profoundly unfathomable Grey Immortal body, he would have been shattered into pieces by the force of that impact.

And without the Demonic Light, he wouldn't have been able to withstand even half a move from the opponent.

The Gold Devouring Immortal's form was also suppressed by the force, descending downwards for the first time.

At that moment, a long-prepared golden radiance burst forth, revealing a massive, resplendent golden wheel. Eighteen crystalline threads pierced its surface, and over four hundred Time Dao Rune lights shimmered brilliantly.

Under the impact of the golden light waves, a vast golden space instantly materialized, enveloping the Gold Devouring Immortal.

The Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal immediately felt a blur before its eyes, as if its entire body had sunk into a quagmire, making movement extremely difficult.

It wanted to unleash its Crystalline Light to shatter the golden wheel, but its Immortal Spiritual Power seemed to be frozen, flowing at a near-zero rate, making it incredibly difficult to mobilize.

Its body surface flashed wildly with golden light, as if it were struggling with all the power it could muster, trying to break free from the control of the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

As intense fluctuations emanated from its body, constantly impacting the surrounding golden waves, the space of the Mantra Treasure Wheel actually began to tremble, though it showed no signs of collapsing for the time being.

Seeing this, Han Li's pupils contracted slightly, and he secretly felt a sense of relief.

If he hadn't luckily broken through to the Golden Immortal peak, he might not have been able to trap this Gold Devouring Immortal.

As he pondered, he didn't dare to relax even slightly. His hands formed hand seals at lightning speed, fully activating the Mantra Treasure Wheel, using its space to tightly confine the Gold Devouring Immortal.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't hold it for long. Once it broke free, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With that thought in mind, he waved his hand, and a cyan light suddenly flared up. A verdant gourd appeared, hovering in the air and vibrating incessantly.

A ring of tiny runes around it flashed violently, and a dazzling light erupted from the mouth of the gourd. A sharp aura was suppressed there, ready to burst forth.

Han Li had to fully control the Mantra Treasure Wheel while simultaneously focusing his mind on controlling the verdant gourd. The consumption of both Immortal Spiritual Power and Divine Sense had reached a level that was hard for ordinary people to imagine.

He took a deep breath in his heart, let out a low roar, and formed a sword incantation with his hand, abruptly pointing forward with his fingers.

"Chop!"

With this command, the green light at the mouth of the verdant gourd instantly reached its peak, and thunderous sounds constantly emanated from within.

One after another, Cyan Bamboo Cloudbee Swords, flashing with golden lightning, shot out from the mouth of the gourd.

Amidst the emerald light, a total of eight flying swords shot straight towards the heart of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Zheng!"

"Crack!"

...

One sharp ringing sound followed another, and one after another lightning bolts exploded.

To ensure the power of each sword remained undiminished, Han Li didn't split the sword light into shadows. Instead, he attacked purely with the sword's body.

With the blessing of the Time Domain, the flying swords chopped extremely quickly, striking hundreds of times in just a few breaths. However, the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest only rippled with golden arcs, suffering almost no damage.

"Chop, chop away! When I break through this restriction, it will be the moment you are crushed to dust and scattered to the winds, hahaha..." The Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal continued to struggle violently, laughing madly.

Jin Tong watched from the side, its eyes tearing apart. It regretted deeply that if it had cultivated more diligently when it was by Qu Ling's side, it might not be so powerless now.

Just as it was racking its brains for a way to break through the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal's defense, something suddenly changed on Han Li's side.

Han Li's entire body shone with golden light. The Immortal Spiritual Power that had already been greatly depleted was now mobilized to the extreme, as if he were holding nothing back, about to unleash it all like a flood.

At the same time, the runes on the surface of the verdant gourd, which had been hovering in the air, shone even brighter. A tip of the sword wrapped in green light protruded from the mouth of the gourd.

Inside the gourd's space, a green vortex was spinning rapidly, emitting a muffled boom. It contained a heart-palpitating power, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"Go!"

Han Li roared.

The verdant gourd shook violently, and the void in front of its mouth rippled. The sword tip that had been protruding disappeared instantly.

Almost at the same instant, a nearly blurred green sword shadow appeared at the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest, stabbing straight down.

With a loud "Zheng!"

The Gold Devouring Immortal's body shuddered violently. A golden light mixed with golden lightning and layers of sword energy suddenly exploded, sending out endless shockwaves that impacted in all directions.

The billowing Demonic Qi was torn to pieces by this gale and scattered towards the top of the abyss. The rock walls on both sides and the bottom of the valley were also cut to pieces by the sword energy in the gale, revealing huge gullies that were hundreds of feet deep.

The layers of golden light on the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest shattered, and a crack as thin as a hair finally appeared on its incredibly hard carapace.

The Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal's eyes couldn't help but contract when it realized that its defense had been breached, and it struggled even more violently. The Mantra Treasure Wheel hanging near it also shook violently, becoming extremely unstable, and was about to lose control.

Han Li's eyes flashed slightly. He felt a little regret, but he wasn't surprised.

This Cyan Bamboo Cloudbee Sword, which had been refined in the verdant gourd for the longest time, had exceeded Han Li's expectations in terms of power.

If this sword had not struck a Gold Devouring Immortal in the late Taiyi stage, but even an ordinary Jade Immortal at the peak of the Taiyi stage, it definitely wouldn't have suffered so little damage.

Han Li didn't hesitate any longer, and the incantation in his hand immediately changed.

The other eight flying swords immediately streaked across with cyan light, flying to the area around the Cyan Bamboo Cloudbee Sword. Their lights connected with each other, and the electric threads intertwined, instantly merging into one.

Han Li flew up, no longer controlling the sword with his Divine Sense, but instead grabbing the combined nine-in-one Cyan Bamboo Cloudbee Sword and charging straight towards the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal.

"You're courting death..." the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal roared, unable to contain its anger.

Han Li ignored it, surging forward with golden light all over his body, grasping the sword with both hands and slashing down at the thin wound on the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest.

At this moment, there was no need to hold back Immortal Spiritual Power, no need to hold back Evil-warding Divine Lightning, and no need to hold back Myriad Ancient Sword Qi.

"Bang!"

After one sword strike, Han Li flipped his body like a hawk turning over, and another sword followed closely behind.

"Bang!"

After this sword strike, he repeated the process, and the third sword strike followed... the fourth sword, the fifth sword, the sixth sword...

Round and round, endlessly.

As each sword strike became faster and stronger than the last, before a single Evil-warding Divine Lightning could be unleashed, it was forcibly suppressed by the next sword strike. Before a single strand of Myriad Ancient Sword Qi could unfurl, it was forcibly pushed back.

Strands of golden lightning and layers of sword energy accumulated and pressed down, all gathered at the location of the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal's chest wound, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

The Demonic Light, which had returned to the abyss, did not immediately approach. He watched this scene from afar and immediately understood Han Li's intentions. His eyes flashed slightly and narrowed.

At this moment, the Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal had long lost its previous composure. It could clearly feel the power and threat of this sword strike. Its wings trembled violently, and layers of Crystalline Light flickered incessantly, constantly impacting the Mantra Treasure Wheel.

As it continued to consume power, the Mantra Treasure Wheel's power was also weakening bit by bit. Although it could still slow down its attacks, it couldn't completely prevent it from being affected. The entire wheel, along with the Time Dao Runes on it, was affected, shaking violently.

Han Li's Divine Sense was being consumed too rapidly, and his eyes were now blood red. Blood was flowing from his ears, winding like two scarlet snakes, hanging on both sides of his cheeks.

However, his hands holding the sword were unusually steady, and he continued to strike down, one sword after another.

Three hundred and fifty-nine swords, three hundred and sixty swords...

Han Li continued to strike, sword after sword, but the Gold Devouring Immortal's wound never widened.

Three hundred and sixty-one swords!

The accumulated Evil-warding Divine Lightning could no longer be suppressed, and the constantly released Myriad Ancient Sword Qi could no longer be controlled.

A deafening "Boom!" sounded!

A sea of golden lightning, no less than the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, exploded, and countless golden arcs of electricity shot out, transforming into a lightning vortex that enveloped the entire Gold Devouring Immortal.

A vast, sea-like expanse of Myriad Ancient Sword Qi gathered in one place and exploded in the Gold Devouring Immortal's chest and abdomen.

Golden electricity and snow-white sword energy mixed together, like a golden pillar with a white dragon coiled around it, soaring into the sky, almost piercing through the entire abyss.

"Roar..."

The Taiyi Realm Gold Devouring Immortal let out a shrill howl, and its ferocious nature was pushed to the extreme.

Its wings exploded, sending out a violent wave that sent the already overburdened Mantra Treasure Wheel flying, breaking free of its control in that instant.

"You can actually break through my defense; you are doomed today." It lowered its head and looked at the extremely deep and long wound located in its chest, roaring with rage.

It was shocked to find that, with the strength of its physique, even if its body was broken open, it should have been able to recover completely in just a few breaths.

But this time, it was wrong.

The wound had shown no signs of healing since it was inflicted.

It seemed that electric threads were still entwined on it, and sword energy crisscrossed, hindering the speed of the wound's healing.
