Having said that, Qi Mozi performed a series of hand gestures, and the power of time law surged out from his body, transforming into a golden hand that grasped toward the altar. The golden flame was then taken into his hand.

"This is truly a good thing..." Qi Mozi felt the power of time law contained within the golden flame and was delighted. After clasping his hands together, he stored it away.

After the golden flame left the altar, the already fragmented altar could no longer hold on and completely collapsed.

A dark black hole appeared in the ground, filled with surging demonic energy. Dozens of grotesque and ferocious demons rushed out from the ground, howling strangely as they reached the surface.

Leading them was a bizarre demon, ten zhang tall with huge curved horns on its head and a face like a goat. Its figure was almost identical to that of a human, with two white fleshy wings on its back, but its arms were blood-red with sharp bone protrusions, making them quite conspicuous.

The Blood Hand Demon's gaze fell on Qi Mozi and Xiong Shan. Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Qi Mozi, a hint of hesitation flashed in its eyes. However, the anger and bloodlust that had been suppressed for too long quickly led it to make a decision.

"You've all been suppressed for a long time, haven't you? Let these two annoying fellows be your blood food for regaining your freedom! Tear them apart for me..." The Blood Hand Demon sneered and roared loudly.

Its voice was hoarse and unpleasant, causing Xiong Shan to frown and rub his ears involuntarily.

Upon hearing this, the demons were overjoyed and let out various howls, swarming toward Qi Mozi and Xiong Shan.

Seeing this, Qi Mozi frowned slightly, showing some disgust.

He then raised his hand, and a golden flame shot out from his palm, transforming into a golden flame curtain that blocked the sky.

Several demons rushing in the front were unable to dodge and crashed directly into the light curtain.

Immediately afterward, a series of screams rang out. Those demons seemed to have had their life force drained, their bodies rapidly withering before turning into ashes and scattering away.

The remaining demons were shocked and retreated violently.

Seeing this, the Blood Hand Demon was furious. One of its palms suddenly extended, with a great burst of bloody light from the palm center, which instantly swelled up.

Within a few breaths, its palm had grown to thousands of zhang in size, like a dark cloud covering the sky and pressing down. A bloody aura surged within its palm, and the power of ferocity soared.

Under its palm, the eyes of the many demons turned blood-red, and their auras rose by a notch. They temporarily forgot their fear and rushed toward the two below again.

Xiong Shan stood behind Qi Mozi, far from the Blood Hand, but even he felt his heart beating rapidly. Terrifying images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood seemed to constantly emerge in his mind, and a faint sense of ferocity began to grow rampant in his heart.

"Guard your sea of consciousness!" Qi Mozi shouted, and Xiong Shan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, instantly regaining his senses.

He quickly performed a series of hand gestures, restrained his divine sense, and guarded his sea of consciousness.

After giving the reminder, Qi Mozi ignored him, stepped forward, raised his palm, and struck upward. Golden light surged wildly in his palm, rising like turbulent clouds and crashing into the Blood Hand, emitting a deafening roar.

The Blood Hand Demon's body shook violently, and its hand rapidly shrank and retracted.

"Blood Hand, I am not your enemy. Do not attack again, or I will not be able to help but kill you all." Qi Mozi frowned and roared.

"You recognize me? Who exactly are you?" Hearing this, the Blood Hand Demon's expression changed, and a hint of fear appeared in its eyes as it asked in surprise.

"Take a look at this." Qi Mozi did not answer but casually threw out something.

The Blood Hand Demon's gaze narrowed, and it raised its hand to grab the object. It found that it was a snow-white bone token shaped like a withered hand, with a ferocious ghost pattern engraved on it.

"This is Second Brother's hand bone token..." The Blood Hand Demon's eyes narrowed slightly as it said slowly.

"He and Copper Lion have also escaped. My purpose in coming here is to rescue you." Qi Mozi said.

"You still haven't answered my question. Who exactly are you?" The Blood Hand Demon asked with a frown.

"A smart person wouldn't have so many questions. They are waiting for you..." Qi Mozi snorted and said.

Having said that, he called out to Xiong Shan, and the two blurred and disappeared from the spot.

The Blood Hand Demon looked at the hand bone token in its hand, its gaze slightly sinking as it fell into thought.

After a moment, it gave an order, leading all the demons to soar into the sky and fly away into the distance.

After this dilapidated plaza had completely quieted down, a figure arrived late, none other than Wen Zhong.

He glanced at the mess in the Fire Origin Palace hall and the ruined altar, cursed a few times with a nasty expression, and then began to repair the altar.

……

Han Li left the Fire Origin Palace and continued to fly upward.

After flying for a while, seeing that Qi Mozi and the others had not chased after him, he slowed down his escape light and took out the white orb.

The flames on the surface of the orb had completely disappeared, and it only emitted a faint white light. There was no trace of the previous fiery scene.

Seeing this, he was not surprised but rather delighted.

Even ordinary immortal artifacts, even without being activated, would have fluctuating spiritual power and diffused law power.

The reason why this white fire orb behaved like this was because all the power of the flames and laws within the orb were completely contained. Only when it was truly activated would its power be revealed.

The higher the grade of such immortal artifacts, the more their power was worth anticipating.

Speaking of which, among the many immortal artifacts on his body now, only the Palm Sky Bottle and the golden disc had reached this state.

Han Li silently circulated his cultivation technique, stabilized his mind, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of green light, which merged into the white fire orb. At the same time, he performed hand gestures, and one after another, secret incantations shot out and disappeared into the orb.

With a soft "whoosh" sound!

A ball of white flame appeared on the white orb, tumbling and dancing, and a terrifying high temperature emerged, scorching the surrounding void within dozens of zhang, causing it to tremble continuously. Distorted black lines even appeared in the void next to the fire orb.

The scorching high temperature was mixed with powerful and unmatched fire law fluctuations, which rumbled and spread out.

In the blink of an eye, the white mist within a radius of dozens of miles was instantly evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

Han Li had prepared before activating this orb, and golden light surged on his body, with the power of time law instantly covering his entire body, isolating the fire law outside.

Without the power of fire law mixed in, the terrifying high temperature emitted by the fire orb could no longer cause him much harm. He secretly circulated the "Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Technique" to resist this scorching power.

At this moment, a crisp cry was heard, and then a silver light flashed, and the Essence Flame Firebird flew out from Han Li's sleeve and landed on his shoulder.

The firebird's eyes were fixed on the white fire orb, revealing a human-like look of greed.

As soon as the Essence Flame Firebird flew out, it immediately absorbed most of the surging heat.

Han Li felt relieved. He performed hand gestures faster, and a trace of mental connection gradually formed between him and the white fire orb. The white flame on the fire orb also flourished.

"Hurry!" He was delighted in his heart and guided it with a hand gesture.

The flame on the white fire orb flared up, and a long white tongue of fire shot out from the orb, looping around a protruding solitary peak next to it.

This solitary peak was about two or three hundred zhang high, with a diameter of thirty or fifty zhang. It was bronze in color and emitted a thick golden elemental energy fluctuation.

The seventh floor of the Time Tower was filled with extremely dense heaven and earth spiritual energy. After countless years of nurturing, many ordinary trees and vegetation on this towering giant peak had now become excellent spiritual materials, and some slightly basic mountains and rocks had also become excellent minerals.

This solitary peak was the same, having completely become a huge gold elemental ore, which appeared to be profound copper ore.

Although the quality of this ore was not enough to refine immortal artifacts, it was superior in its hard and durable texture, and many people used it to build fortresses and secret chambers that could last for ten thousand years.

The white tongue of fire touched the bronze solitary peak, silently wiping past it without any sense of obstruction or delay.

The upper half of the solitary peak tilted and then crashed down, colliding with the lower mountain wall and emitting bursts of thunderous roars. The cut of the solitary peak was smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by some divine weapon.

Seeing this, Han Li's face lit up again, and then he sighed and shook his head.

The power of this white fire orb was beyond his expectations.

It was just that the cultivation technique he practiced was not of the fire attribute, nor had he practiced any fire attribute secret techniques. It was very difficult to activate this white fire orb, and he could not exert its true power.

"Chirp, chirp..." The Essence Flame Firebird chirped, and at the same time, it conveyed the idea of wanting the white orb to Han Li.

"Don't worry, I don't practice fire attribute cultivation techniques, so I can't exert the power of this orb. This white fire orb will definitely be given to you, but this orb is extremely powerful, so you must use it with caution." Han Li glanced at the Essence Flame Firebird and waved his hand.

After the white fire orb trembled, it flew toward the Essence Flame Firebird.

The Essence Flame Firebird was overjoyed and spat out a silver flame, wrapping the orb in front of it and swallowing it in one gulp.

As the fire orb entered its body, the flames on the Essence Flame Firebird immediately flourished. In addition to the silver flame, colorful flames also appeared, which were the power of the Seven-Colored Fire Pill Sand.

Although the Essence Flame Firebird had the ability to absorb and refine many flames, it had not completely refined the Seven-Colored Fire Pill Sand, which it had absorbed not long ago.

Seven or eight kinds of flames intertwined and flashed on the Essence Flame Firebird, violently colliding with each other and emitting bursts of muffled thunderous roars. The firebird's body also began to be uneven, with bubbles appearing from time to time, as if it were about to burst.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly stopped his escape light, waved his hand, and sent out a golden light to envelop the Essence Flame Firebird. At the same time, he released his divine sense to see the condition of the Essence Flame Firebird.
