Chapter 1122 Taking the Lamp

"Don't know? How could you not know? How could you possibly not know?" Hei Tian Mozu roared at Han Li upon hearing this.

"I know," a voice suddenly chimed in from the side. It was Qimozi who had emerged with a smile.

Before the words had faded, Han Li felt a black shadow flash before his eyes in an instant.

In the next moment, Qimozi's shoulders were seized by a pair of rough hands, lifting him into the air.

Hei Tian Mozu had appeared beside Qimozi like a ghost, faster than anyone could react.

Qimozi was now enveloped by a massive force. With his cultivation at the Great Luo Realm, he was instantly immobilized. The smile on his face froze, but he quickly regained his composure.

The others only reacted at this moment, scattering in alarm and instinctively distancing themselves from Hei Tian Mozu.

Han Li, having escaped Hei Tian Mozu's clutches, also retreated a distance with Hu San and Jiao San.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a strange sense of unease about Qimozi's sudden interjection.

This disciple of Mi Luo Old Ancestor was devious and skilled in scheming. Since he dared to speak up at this moment, it was certainly not for anything good. Hei Tian Mozu was currently somewhat deranged, and who knew what kind of abnormal reaction he would have after hearing it.

However, there was nothing he could do to prevent it. The old fellow clearly placed great importance on his wife and son, and he feared that any misspoken word would lead to dire consequences.

"You know where my wife and son are? Tell me! Quickly!" Hei Tian Mozu grabbed Qimozi's shoulders and shook him violently, demanding.

"Your name is Shi Kongmo, and your wife's name is Jin Ling Furen, is that correct?" Qimozi felt as though his shoulders were about to be crushed, and he forced himself to smile through the pain as he spoke.

"Shi Kongmo..." Han Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"That's right! You really know! Take me to find them!" Hei Tian Mozu became elated, and his grip tightened unconsciously.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency's cultivation is unparalleled. This body of mine can hardly withstand it. Please release me first, and I will tell you everything without holding back," Qimozi said hurriedly, beads of cold sweat forming on his brow.

"Oh, apologies. Take me there quickly!" Hei Tian Mozu released Qimozi's shoulders and said.

"Daoist Shi, although I know where Jin Ling Furen and your son are, I cannot take you there," Qimozi said, shaking his head after a sigh of relief.

"What? You dare not take me!" Hei Tian Mozu's expression changed drastically, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. He reached out a hand and seized Qimozi's neck.

A tangible aura of malevolence erupted from his body, causing the nearby void to tremble violently, like a disturbed surface of water.

Han Li and the others were enveloped by this aura, feeling as though they were standing naked in the freezing cold, extremely uncomfortable and unable to move even an inch. They could only endure it with difficulty.

"Daoist Shi, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I'm unwilling to take you, but your wife and son are currently being suppressed by Chi Rong Daozu of the Rongtian Immortal Domain. Although Daoist Shi is considered invincible within the Great Luo Realm, facing a Dao Ancestor would likely be somewhat beyond your capabilities, wouldn't it?" Qimozi said quickly.

"What, it's that old hag, Chi Rong Daozu! That old hag is a Dao Ancestor of the Fire Origin and ranks among the top ten in strength among all Dao Ancestors. I can't handle her yet," Hei Tian Mozu said, his arrogance diminishing significantly as he seemed to regain some reason, releasing Qimozi.

"Daoist Shi, rest assured, after my many efforts, I have reached an agreement with Chi Rong Daozu. As long as I take two items as an exchange, she will agree to release Jin Ling Furen and your son," Qimozi said quickly, carefully observing Hei Tian Mozu.

"What items? Speak! Don't say two, I'll give her twenty!" Hei Tian Mozu asked immediately, overjoyed.

Han Li frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding growing within him.

"It's the Years God Lamp and the cultivation method of the "Grand Five Elements Illusionary World Art". I came to the Taisui Immortal Abode this time for the Years God Lamp. I didn't expect such a coincidence, meeting someone here who has cultivated the "Grand Five Elements Illusionary World Art". It seems heaven is blessing us, allowing Jin Ling Furen and them to escape their predicament sooner," Qimozi said, glancing at Han Li.

Han Li's expression changed abruptly upon hearing these words.

Jiao San and the others' expressions also changed.

"Oh, this Years God Lamp is annoying to look at, and it can't be destroyed. Taking it to exchange is just right," Hei Tian Mozu said, and with a blur, he appeared near the Years God Lamp.

After the destruction of the five-colored altar, the Years God Lamp was still suspended in mid-air, emitting waves of golden light, constantly penetrating the surrounding pitch-black void, like the only solitary light illuminating this darkness.

"Daoist Shi, do you have a way to take down this lamp?" Qimozi asked, startled by the words.

Hei Tian Mozu had attacked the Years God Lamp repeatedly, but the lamp had remained unmoved.

"Hmph! It's not difficult for me to take down this lamp. Watch closely!" Hei Tian Mozu snorted, and with a shake of his figure, he transformed into five black figures, each appearing in a position near the Years God Lamp.

The five Hei Tian Mozus simultaneously reached out, and five black light palms flew out, grabbing at a certain point in the void and tearing at it simultaneously.

With a "tearing" sound, the void was torn open like a curtain. Centered on the Years God Lamp, a circular spatial rift dozens of feet in size appeared.

Within the spatial rift, various colored turbulent flows surged and tumbled, emitting rumbling sounds like crashing waves, and a huge devouring force was emitted, swallowing everything nearby.

Everyone present retreated again to avoid being swallowed by the spatial rift, but the five Hei Tian Mozus stood beside the spatial rift, seemingly unaffected.

The Years God Lamp floated in the turbulent flow of the void, without any effect, remaining unmoved despite the rolling turbulent flow around it.

Deep within the turbulent flow of the void, there were golden chain-like runes intertwined with each other, forming a huge golden array net that extended in all directions, reaching to an unknown destination.

And the center of the golden array net was the Years God Lamp.

"This is..." Han Li said, a look of surprise on his face as he saw the golden array net.

The others were the same, all surprised that there were such things behind the Years God Lamp.

The five Hei Tian Mozus emitted a light palm with one hand, stabilizing the void rift, and with the other hand, they formed a palm blade and slashed out.

Suddenly, five huge black palm shadows shot out silently. The palm shadows were jet-black, surrounded by demonic energy. Where they passed, there was no Yuan Qi fluctuation, no power of laws, no vitality, no fluctuation of any kind.

There was only a void, a void that could erode everything.

"Void and infinite, eroding all things... The use of demonic energy has reached such a level!" Qimozi muttered, his eyes shining brightly.

Han Li felt a surge of excitement in his heart as he saw the five black palm shadows.

His *Tian Sha Zhen Yu Gong* and *Nine Serenities Demon Eyes* were both demonic domain supernatural powers, but his use of demonic energy was like the difference between a firefly and the moon compared to Hei Tian Mozu's Void Palm.

If he could also use demonic energy to the same extent as Hei Tian Mozu, then he could erode the immortal artifacts of people like Qimozi from the Heavenly Court, gaining a significant advantage in the confrontation.

The five palm shadows slashed towards the golden array net, and the turbulent flow of the void along the way disappeared without a trace.

The five palm shadows were seemingly slow but actually fast. The five Hei Tian Mozus had just swung their palms, and the five palm shadows had already struck five key points on the golden array net.

The golden array net suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light and trembled violently.

The sound of hissing arose for a time, and golden and black lights erupted at the point where the two forces collided, causing the nearby void to twist and deform.

However, it seemed that the golden light was somewhat inferior to the surging black energy bursting out from the palm shadows, and it was quickly filled and eroded by it.

The flame of the Years God Lamp trembled and once again erupted into a substantial golden sea of fire, rolling out in all directions, engulfing the five black palm shadows.

Unfortunately, the golden sea of fire was a step late. The black light on the five black palm shadows soared, first eroding and covering the golden array net.

With a ripping sound, five huge openings were torn in the golden array net, and the connection between the golden array and the Years God Lamp was almost completely severed.

The entire golden array net flickered violently a few times and then exploded with a loud bang, turning into countless golden spiritual lights.

A layer of golden brilliance appeared in the sky outside the Years Palace, dyeing the clouds golden. Intense fluctuations of the law of time surged within, causing the clouds to churn.

The vitality of heaven and earth was even more turbulent, and countless five-colored light spots densely emerged, stretching as far as the eye could see, filling the entire world, vast and imposing, and the towering giant peaks below also rumbled and shook.

However, the golden glow did not last long and quickly dimmed and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the power of the law of time that was originally omnipresent in the seventh layer of the Years Pagoda space also completely disappeared at this moment.

The same was true for the six layers of space below. Dazzling golden light appeared in the void, then immediately dimmed and disappeared, and the fluctuations of the law of time in the space returned to normal.

Looking from outside the Years Pagoda, the golden flame on the top of the tower flickered a few times and then disappeared with a crash.

Within the ruins of the Years Palace.

As the golden array net collapsed, the Years God Lamp also shook violently. Although the law of time and aura it emitted were still extremely powerful, it was no longer as stable as a mountain and shot towards the turbulent flow of the void.

At this moment, one of the Hei Tian Mozus waved his hand and emitted a black light to entangle the Years God Lamp, pulling it back.

At the same time, the five Hei Tian Mozus formed hand seals, dissipated the five black light palms, and floated backward.

The huge spatial rift quickly healed, completely recovering in the blink of an eye, and the hall returned to calm.

All of this was a long story, but from the moment Hei Tian Mozu acted to break through the protection of the divine lamp and obtain the divine lamp, it was only a matter of two or three breaths.

At this moment, Hei Tian Mozu seemed to have truly demonstrated the strength of a Demon cultivator at the peak of the Great Luo Realm.

Han Li, while somewhat frightened by what he saw, also began to believe some of the seemingly crazy and arrogant words he had spoken before.

Not far away, Lei Yuce and the others' faces turned ashen in an instant when they saw the divine lamp being taken away.

The five Hei Tian Mozus merged into one again with a flash, looked at the Years God Lamp with its dim light in their hands, chuckled, and threw it to Qimozi with a flip of their hand.

Qimozi caught the Years God Lamp, and a hint of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
