Chapter 1057 No Retreat

At this moment, Han Li also summoned twelve blue flying knives, transforming them into twelve enormous blade beams in mid-air, radiating an intense Yin Fiend aura.

Wherever the flying knives passed, a layer of frost appeared in the void, accompanied by chilling howls that seized the heart, slashing towards the Fire Age Insect King.

These twelve Blue Fiend Flying Knives were found in Dongfang Bai's storage implement, possessing extraordinary power. Over the years, he had refined them and stored them within his body.

A mocking glint flashed in the Fire Age Insect King's eyes. The crimson flames on its body flickered, and with a whoosh, a vast expanse of scarlet flames shot out from within its body. It was the Flames of Time. With a spin, they instantly formed a sea of scarlet fire around it.

Upon seeing this, the crowd's expressions changed slightly. They cast spells, attempting to retract their immortal artifacts, but it was already too late.

The various immortal artifacts plunged into the scarlet sea of fire, disappearing as if sinking into the ocean, without any further signs of activity.

In the next moment, the mental connection between the crowd and their immortal artifacts severed simultaneously, causing their expressions to change in unison.

Su Anqian and Jin Liu exchanged a glance, both seeing the intention to retreat in each other's eyes.

Although the three beehives were extremely valuable, they were useless for improving their cultivation. After obtaining them, they would only sell them to others in exchange for a substantial amount of resources and wealth.

To fight the incredibly powerful Fire Age Insect King to the death for this purpose, even if they won, they would likely have to pay a great price, perhaps even losing their lives. It was simply not a wise move.

The others had similar thoughts. Only Han Li and the golden-haired rogue cultivator holding the Treasure Sun Divine Wood Tablet seemed to have a hint of determination in their expressions.

But at that moment, the scarlet sea of fire suddenly churned violently, rapidly shrinking into a ball of scarlet fire the size of a house, then shooting out like a meteor.

Seeing this, Han Li's gaze shifted, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, but he did nothing.

The others were taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

The figures in front of the fireball hurriedly dodged. The scarlet fireball flashed and landed at the entrance of the tunnel above the lava.

"Not good! It's trying to seal the tunnel!" Su Anqian's pretty face changed, and she exclaimed in alarm.

Before she finished speaking, the scarlet fireball flashed and transformed into a scarlet fire curtain, sealing the tunnel entrance.

Although there was another tunnel behind the cave, it was filled with countless Fire Age Fireflies at that moment, making it a dead end.

The Fire Age Insect King's gaze flickered slightly, seemingly looking at the crowd with a hint of mockery, like a cat toying with mice.

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and some timid individuals turned pale.

"Hmph! Trying to wipe us out here? We'll see if you have the ability! Everyone, there are so many of us, are we really afraid of a mere insect?" The bearded man roared, his entire body radiating a yellow light, then he heavily stomped his foot.

With a "buzz," a yellow spiritual domain suddenly spread out from his body, enveloping the entire cave space.

A tremendous gravitational pull emanated from the spiritual domain, pulling towards the Fire Age Insect King. The Insect King's body immediately sank, and its claws bent downward slightly.

"Not bad, if we combine our strength, with the superposition of laws, I don't believe we can't kill this Time Insect King!" Jin Liu also shouted loudly.

As he spoke, a blue light blazed on his body, and he also opened a blue spiritual domain, enveloping the Fire Age Insect King.

The Flames of Time around the Fire Age Insect King immediately fluctuated, and it was unknown what effect Jin Liu's spiritual domain had on it.

Seeing this, the others were all invigorated and unleashed their spiritual domain powers.

In an instant, more than a dozen spiritual domains enveloped the Fire Age Firefly.

The mocking look in the Fire Age Firefly's eyes had disappeared, replaced by a glow of anger.

The scarlet flames on its body suddenly brightened, and its figure shot out, turning into a red shadow and pouncing towards the bearded man.

Affected by so many spiritual domains, although the Fire Age Firefly's speed was still extremely fast, it was much slower than before, lacking the ghostly power it had previously possessed.

"Sand Cage!" The bearded man hurriedly dodged backward, while simultaneously grabbing in the void with both hands.

With a cracking sound, the ground in various parts of the cave suddenly split open, and countless gravel and sand shot out from it, wrapping around the Fire Age Firefly with incredible speed, forming a cage of sand and soil, covering it.

Almost at the same time, amid a series of sharp whistling sounds, several immortal artifacts flew over, passing through the gaps in the sand and soil cage and striking the Fire Age Firefly.

With several crisp "clang" sounds, the immortal artifacts were rebounded, leaving no marks on the Fire Age Insect King's body, startling everyone once more.

At that moment, a blue light flashed, and a blue paper crane the size of a human head appeared in front of the sand and soil cage. Its beak pierced through the gaps in the cage and pecked the Fire Age Insect King with lightning speed.

In the distance, Su Anqian chanted incantations, forming a strange hand seal with both hands. One by one, blue paper cranes flew out, circling around her.

With a "poof," a bloody hole was immediately pecked into the Fire Age Insect King's body, and scarlet blood gushed out.

The Fire Age Insect King let out an angry shriek, its eyes glowing with blood-red light. The carapace on its entire body also emitted streaks of blood-red light, and its size suddenly increased by several points.

It waved its claws, and several crescent-shaped rays of light shot out, larger than before, slashing in all directions.

The sand and soil cage around it was like tofu, easily cut through.

The Fire Age Insect King immediately broke free, spread its wings, and instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red afterimage. Its speed was even faster than when it was at its peak. It seemed that the surrounding spiritual domains suddenly had no effect on it, and it shot towards Su Anqian like lightning.

Su Anqian's expression changed, and she hurriedly retreated backward. At the same time, the blue paper cranes around her all flew out, turning into streaks of blue shadows and pouncing towards the Fire Age Insect King.

Although these blue paper cranes were fast, they were still too slow compared to the Fire Age Insect King. The Fire Age Insect King flashed, easily dodging the blue paper cranes, and appeared in front of Su Anqian in a flash, about to swing its claws down.

At that moment, the void beside the Fire Age Insect King fluctuated, and a golden fist shadow emerged, striking it like a meteor.

With a muffled "bang," the Fire Age Insect King's body was blasted away, rolling forward.

Not far away, Han Li silently retracted his fist.

"Thank you!"

Su Anqian's pretty face was as white as snow. She thanked Han Li via voice transmission, then hurriedly flashed away, summoning the blue paper cranes back to circle around her.

The Fire Age Insect King's body stabilized after a flash of blood-red light, and it glared at Han Li with extreme anger. With a spread of its wings, its body turned into a streak of blood-red shadow and pounced over.

Han Li did not unleash a spiritual domain, nor did he dodge or retreat. Densely packed Xuan Aperture lights appeared on his body, and golden light blazed on his fists as he prepared to fight.

But at that moment, the Fire Age Insect King let out an angry shriek, and the direction of its advance suddenly changed, shooting towards the three beehives.

Two cultivators, taking advantage of the Fire Age Insect King's entanglement with Han Li and the others, had stealthily approached the beehives, attempting to collect them. It was the golden-haired youth holding the Treasure Sun Divine Wood Tablet and another rogue Golden Immortal.

Seeing the Fire Age Insect King flying towards them, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated backward.

But the Fire Age Insect King seemed to be completely enraged by their attempt to steal the beehives. The carapace on its entire body instantly turned blood-red, and the Flames of Time on its body also turned blood-red.

Its speed immediately increased again. With a blur, it flew between the golden-haired youth and the other rogue cultivator, slashing with its claws like lightning.

Two streaks of blood-red light flashed. With two "poof" sounds, the other rogue Golden Immortal was split in half from head to toe, and his soul and nascent soul were unable to escape.

The golden-haired youth used the Treasure Sun Divine Wood Tablet to block, but with a "poof," the Divine Wood Tablet was cut in two.

The youth felt immense pain, but he also used the blink of an eye to retreat in time, avoiding the fate of being split in half. However, his chest was still struck by the residual force, cutting out a huge wound, and blood gushed out, causing him to stagger as he retreated.

The Fire Age Insect King spat out a blood-colored flame, taking advantage of the moment when his figure was delayed, piercing through the golden-haired youth's chest with a "chi" sound.

The golden-haired youth's body exploded with a "boom," instantly turning into a ball of blood-colored fire, burning fiercely and turning to ashes in an instant.

Just as the Fire Age Insect King killed the golden-haired youth and the other rogue cultivator, a ball of dazzling blue light suddenly appeared in the sky, taking advantage of the Insect King's blink of an eye while killing the two, and suddenly fell, enveloping the Fire Age Insect King within it.

With a "rattling" sound, three thick chains stretched out from the blue light, binding the Fire Age Insect King.

Although the three chains were all blue, they emitted completely different Laws of power, but they coordinated with each other seamlessly. Even with the Fire Age Insect King's power, it was firmly locked in place, unable to break free.

In the distance, the three members of the Heavenly Water Sect stood in a triangular formation, forming a Three Talents Formation, simultaneously chanting incantations, remotely controlling the three blue chains.

The Fire Age Insect King let out an angry hiss, and the Flames of Time on its body surged, fiercely burning and impacting the three chains on its body.

The three chains were quickly burned with potholes, but the surrounding blue spiritual domain flickered, and streams of Laws of power were transmitted from it, and the chains quickly recovered, maintaining a balance with the surrounding Flames of Time.

"Kill it quickly, we can't hold on for too long!" Although Su Anqian and the other two suppressed the Fire Age Insect King, their arms were trembling as they cast spells, and they said urgently.

Hearing this, the others hurriedly unleashed various attacks, overwhelmingly striking the Fire Age Insect King.

A hint of panic flashed in the Fire Age Insect King's eyes. The Flames of Time on its body surged, enveloping its entire body, and it suddenly let out a shrill cry.

The Fire Age Fireflies outside the cave seemed to receive an order, and immediately flew into the cave.

But at that moment, a figure flashed in front of the cave entrance. Han Li's figure emerged, and he waved his hands.

A blue light flew out from his hand, which was a blue jade tablet, which quickly enlarged, turning into a blue stone door, blocking the entrance, sealing it tightly.

This was an immortal artifact refined from Kun Blue Crystal Jade, which was also obtained from Dongfang Bai's storage implement, and its quality was extraordinary.

The Fire Age Fireflies outside collided with the blue stone door, and the stone door immediately trembled.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression sank slightly, and he immediately placed both hands on the stone tablet. A layer of golden light immediately appeared on the stone tablet.

But even so, the blue stone tablet was still trembling, and the impact of the Fire Age Fireflies outside surged like a tide. As long as his hands relaxed slightly, the stone tablet would show signs of being shaken open.
