"There's nothing strange about it. The five elements naturally have generating and restraining relationships. Metal generates water, which has been true since ancient times. In this metal force field, my water attribute spiritual domain is naturally three points stronger. If those metal beasts were to stay within my spiritual domain, their own metal attribute power would be absorbed, so they would naturally avoid me," Lan Yuanzi said calmly.

"I see, I'm enlightened," Han Li nodded and said.

"In this metal force field, I already have the advantage of terrain, and I have an invincible momentum. Fellow Daoist Han, are you really unwilling to surrender?" Lan Yuanzi asked, surprised by Han Li's confident appearance.

"If you were a Grand Luo Realm cultivator, relying on this terrain advantage, you might be qualified to say that," Han Li said with a sneer.

Having said that, he took a step forward, not using immortal spiritual power, but charging forward with the power of his physical body alone.

As soon as Han Li moved, he felt like he had crashed into a vast ocean, with rolling waves constantly crashing against him, pushing him back and preventing him from moving forward.

He snorted coldly and silently activated the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Skill. The mysterious apertures all over his body lit up one after another, and the power of stars surged out, suddenly breaking through the obstruction of the water attribute law and instantly shortening the distance between him and the Lan siblings.

"What a strong physique, this can't possibly be the body of a Taiyi cultivator," Lan Yuanzi's expression changed slightly, and he said in surprise.

"What if your physique is strong? First, take my Water Elemental Slash," Lan Yan had been holding back a bellyful of fire for a long time. At this moment, she snorted coldly, and a blue escape light appeared on her body as she charged towards Han Li.

She was seen moving freely within Lan Yuanzi's spiritual domain, unaffected at all, and instantly flashing in front of Han Li.

With a twist of her wrist, the three crystals on the blue curved scythe lit up at the same time. A powerful water attribute law surged out from it, and the scythe's blade instantly doubled in size, drawing an arc in the air and slashing towards Han Li.

"Don't, retreat quickly..." Lan Yuanzi suddenly remembered something and shouted in alarm.

But it was too late. Han Li's Mantra Treasure Wheel reversed, and the flow of time accelerated instantly, making his speed much faster than Lan Yan's.

His figure passed by the edge of Lan Yan's curved scythe with ease, and he reached out a palm, locking towards her throat.

The latter had no room for resistance at all and was firmly pinned by the neck.

"Giggle..." A series of crisp laughter came from Lan Yan's throat.

Han Li immediately realized that something was wrong. When he wanted to let go, it was already too late.

He felt an icy chill in his palm. A stream of blue light spewed out from Lan Yan's body, instantly covering Han Li and freezing his entire body into a blue ice sculpture.

And the "Lan Yan" he was clutching tightly was also turning into an ice sculpture.

On the other side, light condensed beside Lan Yuanzi, and Lan Yan's figure reappeared.

"Brother, knowing that he cultivates the law of time, how could I really be reckless?" Lan Yan said with a sweet smile.

"I didn't expect you to even hide it from me, making me worry for nothing," Lan Yuanzi sighed softly.

"At least we've captured him. Brother, quickly seal him completely. My Extreme Cold Ice Crystal can only trap him for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea at most," Lan Yan said quickly, her smile fading from her face.

Just as she finished speaking, a somewhat muffled voice came: "A cup of tea, Fellow Daoist Lan, you overestimate yourself a bit, don't you?"

Immediately afterward, there was a "bang."

Countless golden lightning surged out from Han Li's body, and the blue ice crystal exploded, revealing his figure again.

"How is this possible?" Lan Yan said with a look of surprise.

If an ordinary Taiyi cultivator were sealed in this Extreme Cold Ice Crystal, their immortal spiritual power would definitely be frozen and unable to circulate, so they would naturally be unable to escape. Even a peak Taiyi cultivator would only be slightly faster, and it was impossible for them to be like Han Li.

She didn't know that Han Li had opened up more than nine hundred mysterious apertures. Even if his immortal spiritual power was frozen, the power of his flesh and blood and the power of stars were enough to break through his seal.

Han Li sneered and stopped talking. With a turn of his wrist, a layer of light golden spiritual domain opened up, just enough to envelop Lan Yuanzi's spiritual domain.

The Lan siblings felt the ubiquitous sense of stagnation and oppression in the time spiritual domain, and their expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

"This person is far more difficult to deal with than we imagined. Don't have any wishful thinking. Only by using that move can we have a chance to win," Lan Yuanzi said solemnly.

Lan Yan narrowed her eyes and nodded.

Then, she put away the curved scythe in her hand and snapped her fingers.

A slightly lighter, somewhat pale spiritual domain expanded. When it approached Lan Yuanzi's spiritual domain, a strange attraction was generated between them, and finally, with a flash of light, they merged together.

After the two spiritual domains merged, a cold and peculiar feeling immediately emanated from it.

Han Li felt as if he was being crushed by the sea, and he was a little out of breath.

"Spiritual domain fusion..."

He swallowed and frowned slightly, saying in surprise.

Not far in front of him, the figures of Lan Yan and Lan Yuanzi had disappeared, replaced by a blue ice sculpture ten zhang tall. Its face was androgynous, looking somewhat similar to both of the Lan siblings.

As Han Li hesitated, the wind howled around him, and loud sounds rang out.

Around him, four streams of cold light rose from the ground, condensing into four blue ice sculptures identical to the previous one.

The five ice sculptures were expressionless and all opened their mouths, letting out a low roar.

As they opened their mouths, the temperature of the surrounding space plummeted, and streams of visible white cold air surged out, rushing towards Han Li from all directions.

In the void, "crackling" sounds rang out, and crystal lights began to be refracted in the space.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and a layer of white frost instantly formed on his eyebrows.

His expression changed slightly, and he raised his hand, revealing eighteen Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords. The surfaces of the swords all crackled, and streams of golden lightning surged out, turning into balls of golden thunder, ready to explode.

However, a whirlwind swept through, and the white cold air instantly surged forward. Han Li felt an unbearable chill, and he, along with the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, were frozen in the center.

The electric filaments spreading from the balls of golden thunder were still clearly visible, but they were also sealed by the ice.

Han Li's heart tensed, and he was surprised to find that cold air seemed to have penetrated into his sea of consciousness, and his divine sense was becoming somewhat numb.

"Brother, we can only capture him with the power of spiritual domain fusion, but we can't maintain it for long. How should we bring him back to the Nine Yuan Temple?" one of the ice sculptures said, its voice without any emotional fluctuations.

"The sect didn't say we had to bring back a living person. Finding the Palm Heaven Bottle is the most important thing. Since this person is so difficult to deal with, then kill him and just take his soul back," another ice sculpture replied, its voice also as cold as ice.

"Use the Xuanbing Zhan Yuan Sword?" another ice sculpture asked.

"Slash!" The remaining two ice sculptures spoke at the same time.

Then, the five ice sculptures began to form hand seals, as if they were alive.

Blue light surged above Han Li's head, and a circular rune appeared, from which a stream of extreme cold power surged out. The tip of a blue ice sword pierced out from the center.

The ice-cold energy in the entire space suddenly increased a hundredfold, and an unprecedented terrifying pressure came down from the sky.

"This is... what grade immortal artifact?" Han Li felt the power and his heart skipped a beat.

The sword hadn't even come out completely, but it already had such power. If it was used with all its strength, even a Grand Luo cultivator would not be able to resist it. No wonder it required the Lan siblings to work together and use a formation to summon it.

His immortal spiritual power was almost completely frozen, and even the power of stars was not circulating smoothly. In addition, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were sealed, and he was unable to break free from the seal of the extreme cold power at this moment.

Inside the stone gate, the battle had become earth-shattering, but the people outside the stone gate could still only hear bursts of fighting and roaring sounds, and feel the powerful fluctuations that erupted from time to time, but they could never see clearly what was happening inside.

"When do we go in?" Su Anxi asked via voice transmission.

"Don't rush for the time being, let's wait and see. With a battle of this scale, if we rashly go in, we might be affected. It's better to wait until the fighting inside stops, and then we'll go in. We won't lose no matter what," Jin Liu thought for a while and said via voice transmission.

At this moment, a powerful icy cold energy directly tore through the seal of the metal force field and penetrated through the stone gate.

Several Forgetful Worry Pavilion cultivators outside the door were too close and couldn't dodge in time. They were directly invaded by this force and instantly frozen into ice sculptures. Before the surrounding people could rescue them, they were already dead.

"What's going on..." Everyone was shocked and quickly moved away from the stone gate.

Su Anxi and Jin Liu exchanged a glance, and their expressions couldn't help but change.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, why haven't we heard any news from Fellow Daoist Yu and the others after they went in for so long? Could something have gone wrong?" Valley Master Fu of the Qing Suo Valley asked with a slightly changed expression.

"The situation inside is unclear, and I can't be sure either," Jin Liu frowned and said.

Just as he finished speaking, another roar came from inside the stone gate, and an unspeakable scorching heat wave surged out, forcing everyone at the entrance to retreat dozens of zhang again.

"What exactly is this..."

At this moment, inside the space behind the door, Han Li, who was still frozen in the center, was surrounded by silver flames, which surged upwards like a flame tornado, emitting terrifyingly hot aura.

A sharp whistling sound rang out, and from the surging silver flames behind Han Li, a silver flame bird with seven-colored flames on its head flew into the sky, directly crashing into the Xuan Yuan Slashing Ice Sword that had already fallen out for the most part.

With a loud "boom!"

Countless blue cold lights on the Xuanbing Zhan Yuan Sword turned into fine rain-like threads and surged out, merging with the blazing flames, immediately arousing large swathes of snow-white mist, almost covering the entire space.

"Essence Flame Fire... Could this be the Essence Flame Firebird?" one of the ice sculptures said.

"How could there be an Essence Flame Firebird with such power?" another ice sculpture said.

"That damn Oriental White, why didn't he mention it?" another ice sculpture said.
