Ninety feet.

Eighty feet.

Seventy feet...

Under the oppression of the gray light released by the Yuanhe Five Peaks Mountain, the golden ripple area released by the Mantra Treasure Wheel was constantly being compressed, and the speed of the white light was also constantly increasing.

If this trend continued, it wouldn't be long before this strange white light broke through the shackles of time and landed on Han Li.

Large beads of sweat began to appear on Han Li's forehead. He could clearly feel the stinging sensation in his soul as the white light approached.

His face was gloomy, and he continuously poured magic power into the Mantra Treasure Wheel, but it only slightly slowed down the compression of the golden ripples.

A hint of triumph couldn't help but appear in the eyes of the elegantly dressed youth. He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of black light, with countless black runes dancing inside.

With a swift hand gesture, the ball of black light split into two, transforming into two black shadows that disappeared into the giant inkstone and the Yuanhe Five Peaks Mountain respectively.

The giant inkstone and the Yuanhe Five Peaks Mountain simultaneously emitted a dazzling light.

The gray space surrounding Han Li almost solidified into substance, with countless gray ripples flashing and impacting. The golden ripple area around Han Li was compressed again, shrinking to less than fifty feet.

The white light became even brighter, with countless white runes jumping within, seemingly about to break free from the shackles of the golden ripples. The nearby golden ripple area was dyed white and began to approach Han Li at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Han Li's face began to turn pale, but no matter how he urged it, the golden ripple area surrounding him continued to shrink under the pressure of the gray light.

At this moment, the white light was less than twenty feet away from him.

The elegantly dressed youth seemed to have already seen victory. He made another hand gesture, and the black light on his body shone again.

Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

A sudden loud boom echoed in the void behind him. Amidst swirling black mist, a faint golden pincer shadow the size of a house emerged, with countless golden electric arcs缠绕 it. It exuded a terrifying power of law and clamped down on the elegantly dressed youth with lightning speed.

The expression on the elegantly dressed youth's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly made a hand gesture.

Black light surged on his body, and an armor appeared in an instant.

The armor was a purplish-black color with a rather ferocious design. The helmet was a dragon's head, and there were several sharp thorns protruding from the shoulders and knees. The surface was covered with black patterns, exuding a soaring baleful aura.

"Bang!"

The golden pincer slammed heavily on the purplish-black armor, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

The elegantly dressed youth was sent flying, and shallow cracks appeared on the purplish-black armor on his body.

Although the armor had provided some resistance, a terrifying force was still transmitted to the youth's body, causing his internal organs to churn. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wah."

After he was sent flying, the giant inkstone lost its controller, and the white beam of light it shot out finally collapsed weakly when it was less than ten feet away from Han Li.

The Yuanhe Five Peaks Mountain still hovered above Han Li's head, but the gray light it cast flickered erratically.

The gray space around Han Li also fluctuated and dimmed significantly, and the power of confinement greatly diminished.

Light burst forth from Han Li's body, and several clumps of light of different colors flew out, transforming into illusory True Spirit figures such as the Heavenly Dragon, Azure Luan, and Thunder Roc.

They spun around his body, and all the True Spirit figures merged into his body.

A soaring purple-gold light suddenly appeared on Han Li's body, and his body swelled, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed purple-gold giant.

Golden scales and silver spiritual patterns appeared on his body, and seven star patterns appeared on his abdomen, emitting dazzling starlight that complemented the purple-gold light on his body.

An immense aura erupted from his body, causing the surrounding gray space to tremble.

The purple-gold giant grabbed at the void with one hand, and a cyan giant sword appeared in his palm, emitting a bright cyan light. He slashed down fiercely.

A huge crescent-shaped cyan sword light flew out, surrounded by thick electric arcs. It was a terrifying sight, and it slashed at the gray light curtain.

With a loud "chi la!"

This time, a crack was directly cut in the gray space, connecting it to the outside world.

The purple-gold giant twisted his body and transformed into a streak of purple shadow, flying out of the gap with incredible speed. A black vertical eye split open at the center of his brow.

"Swoosh!"

A crystal beam of light shot out from the vertical eye and transformed into a blurry small sword, disappearing in a flash.

The next moment, this sword appeared out of thin air behind the elegantly dressed youth and slashed down.

The series of movements was as smooth as flowing water, unbelievably fast.

Although the elegantly dressed youth was injured after being knocked away, his reaction was still extremely fast. He hurriedly waved his palm, and a black light palm appeared above his head, grabbing at the blurry small sword.

With a soft "chi!"

The sword shadow flashed the instant the black light palm grabbed the blurry small sword, and it disappeared out of thin air.

The youth was slightly stunned. Before he could understand what was happening, a wave of light flashed in his mind. The blurry small sword appeared out of nowhere and slashed heavily at his soul.

"Ah!"

The elegantly dressed youth clutched his head with both hands and let out an extremely miserable scream.

At this moment, a golden lightning shadow flashed, and Crab Dao Ren's figure also appeared on the other side behind the elegantly dressed youth, with both hands outstretched.

Rumble!

Two huge golden thunderballs, as large as small mountains, appeared in front of Crab Dao Ren. Thick golden electric arcs jumped on them, crackling and hissing, making them look extremely terrifying.

Each thunderball was covered with golden thunder and lightning runes, each the size of a tabletop, flashing wildly and exuding a strong aura of law.

Crab Dao Ren put his hands together, and the two huge thunderballs merged together instantly. With a deafening thunderclap, they transformed into a huge thunder and lightning sword.

A ring of golden light intertwined with lightning arcs instantly spread out from the giant sword in all directions. Wherever it passed, all the black mist was swept away like withered leaves.

The void within dozens of miles nearby buzzed, and countless five-colored light spheres transformed from heaven and earth spiritual energy emerged, converging toward the giant sword like a tide.

The surface of the lightning giant sword was shrouded in five-colored light, emitting a soul-stirring light that caused the nearby void to fluctuate.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged wildly. The sky within nearly a hundred miles nearby suddenly darkened.

Before the elegantly dressed youth could react, the giant sword had already fallen, slashing down on his body.

With a loud crash!

Countless cracks instantly appeared on the purplish-black armor on the youth's body, and then it exploded with a "bang."

The elegantly dressed youth's body was then submerged in the giant thunder and lightning, exploding and turning into a sky full of flesh and blood.

Han Li, who was not far away, had already returned to his original appearance. Seeing this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, a small clump of extremely dim black light emerged from the sky full of minced meat, and then immediately disappeared into the void.

Seeing this, Han Li's eyes flickered with blue light, and the vertical eye in the center of his brow flashed.

A black light shot out, flashed, and struck a spot in the void, disappearing into it without a trace.

With a soft "poof!"

The void there immediately trembled, and then spat out a large amount of black light. Amidst the interwoven and rolling light, a several-inch-tall, black light-缠绕 small figure stumbled out.

Judging from the small figure's facial features, it was actually the Nascent Soul of the elegantly dressed youth from before.

He had been struck by the light shot out by the Evil-warding Eye and revealed his tracks, but he was not injured. However, his face was full of shock and anger, and his two small hands were busy making a hand gesture, about to do something else.

Just at this moment, the void near him fluctuated slightly, and a crystal chain silently flew out, binding him in a flash.

The chain emitted a crystal-clear silver light and its shape was faintly visible, seemingly not a physical object. It exuded an aura of divine sense.

The youth's Nascent Soul's face changed drastically, and black light burst forth from his body as he struggled violently.

But no matter how hard he tried, the crystal chain didn't move at all, remaining as stable as a rock.

Figures flashed, and Han Li and Crab Dao Ren's figures appeared near the youth's Nascent Soul one after the other. The latter was holding something in each hand, which was the Yuanhe Five Peaks Mountain and the black inkstone.

Without the elegantly dressed youth's urging, the light of the two treasures dimmed, and they were easily collected by Crab Dao Ren.

The youth's Nascent Soul seemed to understand that there was no way to escape, and stopped struggling. He looked at Han Li, and then his gaze fell on Crab Dao Ren.

"I didn't expect you to be hiding such a trump card. And this chain, if I'm not mistaken, should be a divine sense chain. To be able to use this divine power, you must have cultivated some kind of forbidden art?" the youth's Nascent Soul said calmly.

Han Li ignored him and waved his hand, sending out a green light that flew downwards. After a moment, it held up two storage magic tools, which were the belongings of the fat and thin duo he had killed earlier.

He then sent out a red flame, covering the body of the elegantly dressed youth and burning it fiercely. In the blink of an eye, his remains were burned to ashes, and then the flames rolled back, carrying a black ring inside.

Han Li leisurely put these things away, and then turned to look at the youth's Nascent Soul and slowly said: "Tell me, who exactly are you, and why have you come looking for me several times? If you satisfy me, I will let you die quickly."

"Hehe, kill me if you want to kill me. Don't even think about me answering your questions!" the youth's Nascent Soul sneered.

Han Li said nothing more. He raised one hand and grabbed the Nascent Soul's head with a grip.

A dark black light erupted from his hand, wrapping the youth's Nascent Soul and penetrating into it.

The youth's Nascent Soul's face twisted, revealing a painful expression. However, a mocking look appeared in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said: "A mere True Immortal... dares to search the soul of a Golden Immortal. You're really... overestimating yourself!"

Han Li turned a deaf ear and fully activated his soul-searching secret art.

Rings of black light waves emanated from his palm, covering the black Nascent Soul. However, as the other party had said, no matter how he urged it, he could not touch the depths of the Nascent Soul's soul.

"Fellow Daoist Han, don't waste your effort. From True Immortal to Golden Immortal, the soul will undergo a transformation. With your current realm, it is indeed impossible to search the soul of a Golden Immortal. And I am just a puppet, so I can't use soul-searching either," Crab Dao Ren said.

Hearing this, Han Li slowly released the youth's Nascent Soul.

"To tell you the truth, if you dare to kill me, Xiao Jinhan will launch an endless pursuit against you! If you let me go, I can make a soul oath that the grievances between you and me will be written off. In addition, I can give you some benefits," the youth's Nascent Soul breathed a sigh of relief, and then sneered, saying this.
