Wang Yu
Chapter 1126: Fierce Battle with Qimozi
Visible cracks began to appear on the entire tower, flashing with silver light and emanating powerful spatial fluctuations.
Before long, people began to rush out from these silver cracks, including Humans, Demons, and Devils, each with different appearances and varying levels of cultivation, densely packed and obscuring the sky.
The disciples stationed outside the tower were initially shocked and wanted to retreat, but many of those who rushed out attacked without warning. Under the organization and restraint of their leaders, the disciples managed to avoid a complete rout and were forced to fight back.
Initially, they managed to suppress some of those who rushed out due to their numerical advantage, but as the number of enemies increased and some extremely powerful beings emerged, the balance of power gradually shifted.
Outside the Pagoda of Time, the sounds of fighting echoed through the heavens, with heavy casualties on both sides, and rivers of blood flowing across the earth.
…
Meanwhile, Han Li and Qu Lin, closely following behind, saw that Jiao San had already released the Samsara Spiritual Domain, covering hundreds of miles in the sky.
Within her dark red Spiritual Domain, there was another layer of golden Spiritual Domain, which was clearly Qi Mozi's released Time Law Spiritual Domain.
Lichi Ma's figure suddenly slowed down after entering the two Spiritual Domains.
His eyes widened immediately, as big as copper bells, and he ran wildly, his hooves immediately shooting out white whirlwinds, stirring up the surrounding space into chaos and greatly increasing his speed again.
The moment Han Li and Qu Lin entered together, a golden light sphere suddenly opened up around them, also transforming into a layer of Time Spiritual Domain, covering an area of a hundred miles.
When the two caught up, they found that Qi Mozi and the others had stopped fighting and were confronting each other.
"As long as you hand over what you obtained from the altar, we can let you go and allow you to leave on your own," Jiao San said, forming hand seals but not continuing to attack.
"Hmph, now that I have the Lamp of Time, why should I fear you?" Qi Mozi sneered.
"Qi Mozi, what if we join in?" Han Li said with a cold laugh.
Seeing Han Li arrive with Lichi Ma and Qu Lin, Qi Mozi's face changed drastically. Jiao San and the others were already troublesome enough, and with these additions, how could he possibly be a match for them alone?
Moreover, Qu Lin, Liu Zizai, and Lichi Ma were all Grand Luo cultivators. Even with the Lamp of Time, he was destined to lose.
Just then, Qi Mozi suddenly remembered something, a sly smile appearing on his face. He flipped his hand, and a palm-sized blood-red token appeared in his palm.
"This Life Talisman is yours, isn't it? If you don't want me to destroy it, kill him immediately," Qi Mozi said, sensing the life aura on the token and focusing his gaze on Liu Zizai.
Liu Zizai's eyes flickered slightly, following the direction of his finger and looking at Han Li, a hesitant look on his face.
"You have no choice. Do you believe I'll crush it right now?" Qi Mozi said fiercely, a sneer on his lips.
"I'm sorry…"
A flash of anger disappeared from Liu Zizai's eyes as he spoke, and his figure flashed towards Han Li.
"Old fox, I'm sorry, but I can't let you kill him." Without Han Li saying anything, Qu Lin had already taken the initiative to meet him, blocking him.
Lichi Ma hesitated slightly, his body suddenly shining with white light, transforming into a huge whirlwind, enveloping Qu Lin and Liu Zizai and carrying them away, directly flying out of the range of Han Li's and the others' Spiritual Domains.
"Hehe, without them, do you still dare to fight me?" Qi Mozi said with a contemptuous smile.
Han Li and Jiao San exchanged glances and nodded to each other. The three dispersed, surrounding Qi Mozi in the center in a three-talent formation.
"I admire your courage, but I'm afraid you don't know the true power of this Lamp of Time, do you?" Qi Mozi said, scanning the three of them and sneering.
Upon hearing this, Han Li and the others felt a sense of unease, with a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Let me show you then!" Qi Mozi said, making a gesture with his hands in front of him.
The golden lamp, shaped like a lotus flower, immediately flew out, hovering in front of him and spinning continuously.
He formed a hand seal, and his aura suddenly soared. His clothes billowed without wind, making a rustling sound.
In front of him, golden light condensed again, and a torch with a golden flame flickered.
Qi Mozi's gaze fell on the torch and the Lamp of Time, a look of fanaticism flashing in his eyes. He changed his hand seals, shouting loudly:
"Sever time and space, let fleeting fire not be born, let time never end, and let the divine lamp burn forever."
Before his voice faded, the lotus-like wick in the lotus lamp suddenly bloomed with thousands of golden rays, illuminating the sky like a scorching sun, and rolling golden ripples spread out like a sea of clouds.
"This is… Not good, stop him quickly!" Han Li sensed something was wrong and shouted immediately.
With that, the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art in his body operated with all its might, and he raised his hand and waved it violently. Golden light surged from his palm, and the thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudpeak Swords merged into one, wrapped in rich lightning, and shot straight at Qi Mozi.
Jiao San was a step slower than him, but she had already waved her hand and struck out a palm. An octagonal token flew out from her palm, wrapped in rolling dark red smoke, and gathered into a huge mist wall, pushing towards Qi Mozi.
On the other side, Jiao San's Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Sabre had also been swung out, with hundreds of huge blood-colored light blades cutting through the void, tearing the sky apart, and falling towards Qi Mozi's head.
Each of the three attacks was incredibly powerful, and even a Grand Luo cultivator would not dare to treat them lightly.
But Qi Mozi, in the center of the attack, seemed completely unaware, just forming hand seals and fully urging the golden torch, dropping it onto the Lamp of Time.
"Rumble…"
As the Azure Bamboo Cloudpeak Sword wrapped in golden lightning was about to arrive, the dark red mist wall had already covered the sky, and the blood blades of the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Sabre were about to fall, the golden torch and the Lamp of Time finally merged together.
At the moment of their merger, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out, emitting a golden light a hundred times more blinding than sunlight, causing Han Li's and the others' vision to be lost instantly.
Han Li only heard a violent roar coming from the direction of Qi Mozi, and then he was pushed back by a violent wave of air, his figure involuntarily retreating.
After stabilizing his figure, relying on his mental connection, he raised his hand and summoned it, and the Azure Bamboo Cloudpeak Sword trembled and flew back into his hand.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and looked towards Qi Mozi's direction, seeing a huge shadow standing in the rolling smoke and dust, looking like a towering pillar.
But when the smoke and dust cleared, he finally saw clearly that the thing in the smoke was actually a golden oil lamp over a hundred feet high, with a slightly curved lamp post and a lotus-like lamp stand, which was none other than the Lamp of Time!
"This is… the Lamp of Time?" Jiao San's voice came from the side.
Han Li turned his head and saw that only her hair was a little messy, and she was not seriously injured.
"It seems he used some secret method to completely master the Lamp of Time, but it's definitely impossible to maintain it for long in such a hurry. Let's be careful and deal with it," Han Li said, frowning and thinking for a moment.
"I don't think it's that simple. After this old guy made the lamp so big, the aura on the lamp not only didn't radiate outward, but was so restrained, which is not normal in itself." At this time, Hu San also flew back, covered in dirt.
Hearing this, Han Li closed his eyes and carefully probed for a moment, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
"Hu San is right, Qi Mozi merged the Lamp of Time with his Spiritual Domain. At this moment, the lamp is somewhat like a domain spirit in his Spiritual Domain. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with," Han Li said, staring at the lamp.
Just then, Qi Mozi's figure suddenly appeared on the huge Lamp of Time, standing proudly on a lotus petal of the lamp stand, looking down at the people below with a face full of smiles.
"Haha… Fellow Daoist Han, how much chance do you have of winning now?" Qi Mozi shouted loudly.
Before Han Li could answer, he suddenly formed a hand seal and pointed at the lamp under him.
The huge Lamp of Time trembled violently, and the flames covering the wick suddenly shook violently, as if exploding, and countless golden flames shot out from it, flying in all directions.
Seeing this, Han Li and the others quickly scattered, avoiding them.
Those golden fireballs did not splash open after landing, nor did they dissipate. Instead, they flashed with golden flames and turned into golden lamps that were ten feet tall, looking like clones of the Lamp of Time.
The golden lamps were densely distributed throughout the Spiritual Domain, with a lamp almost every ten feet.
Han Li quickly realized that after these lamp clones appeared, the fluctuation of the Time Law power in Qi Mozi's Spiritual Domain suddenly increased tenfold. Even with Han Li's Time Spiritual Domain counteracting it, the three of them were still greatly hindered in their actions.
"Let's try this again…" At this time, Qi Mozi, standing on the lamp stand, suddenly shouted loudly.
Han Li shifted his gaze and saw Qi Mozi shaking his sleeves, and the two wide sleeves opened, rustling.
Within his sleeves, red light surged violently, and a dense mass of red light spots poured out of them like a swarm, instantly obscuring a patch of sky.
"Not good, it's Fire Age Fireflies!" Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly.
Before his voice could fall, those Fire Age Fireflies "swished" and split into three strands, rushing towards the three of them respectively.
Hearing Han Li's reminder, Jiao San and the others knew that they were in trouble, and quickly used their means to protect themselves.
Jiao San's robes flashed with silver light, and dense runes appeared on them, emitting a hazy light containing a layer of Spatial Law power, like a barrier, wrapping her in.
Hu San's body was covered with a layer of silver-scaled armor, with fine scales and bright runes, completely wrapping him up.
