Lu Yuqing moved her lotus-like feet gently, finally stopping in front of the Ancestral Hall in the center of the Taoist temple.

Looking at the memorial tablets in front of her, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her expression seemed somewhat dazed.

Just at that moment, a loud "boom" came from mid-air, like a thunderclap.

Lu Yuqing's delicate body trembled, clarity returning to her eyes, and she hurried out of the temple, looking towards the sky.

A dazzling azure light rose from the sea of fire in mid-air, forming an azure pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

An immense sword aura emanated from the azure pillar of light, and the sea of fire churned violently. Even the lightning falling from mid-air was affected by the sword aura and became somewhat chaotic.

Before the sea of fire, Han Li's eyes lit up.

Before he could do anything, with a loud "boom," another azure pillar of light rose from the sea of fire, radiating terrifying sword aura fluctuations.

Immediately afterward, one azure pillar of light after another soared into the sky.

Almost instantly, seventy-two azure pillars of light appeared out of nowhere, emitting terrifying sword aura fluctuations, intertwining in mid-air.

The crimson sea of fire was like a cluster of flames in a storm, easily extinguished by the sword aura fluctuations, dissipating to reveal the white stone altar inside.

The black clouds in the sky were also shattered and dissipated by the seventy-two towering sword auras.

The grand sword aura stirred up a monstrous hurricane, and rolling airwaves swept in all directions.

Han Li's expression was calm. He made a slight hand gesture, and a rich starlight arose from his body, then suddenly solidified, turning into a layer of starlight crystalline membrane, the True Essence Membrane.

As soon as this membrane formed, the rolling airwaves arrived with a roar, almost submerging Han Li's figure within.

At the same time, the True Essence Membrane covering his body shone brightly, making crackling sounds.

But no matter how grand these airwaves were, Han Li's figure remained unmoved. He didn't even look at the airwaves, his eyes fixed on the white stone altar.

As the hurricane swept across, the dense forest on the mountaintop below was reduced to powder in the hurricane, and the ground was scraped off a layer, becoming extremely flat.

The several Taoist temples were also affected by the hurricane. The restrictions around the temples had been broken by Xiong Shan, and they were about to be torn apart by the hurricane.

At that moment, Lu Yuqing shouted softly. An azure light flashed in her hand, and the azure feather fan appeared, which she waved fiercely.

An azure squall shot out from the feather fan, forming an azure tornado that enveloped the entire Taoist temple.

Although the hurricane sweeping down from mid-air had weakened a lot, it still impacted the azure tornado, causing it to tremble.

Lu Yuqing's face paled. She bit the tip of her tongue, opening her mouth to spit out a stream of blood that entered the feather fan in her hand.

The azure feather fan shone brightly, and the feathers on it, like a peacock spreading its tail, fully opened. Then, in a series of "puff puff" sounds, they flew out of her hand and merged into the azure tornado.

The tornado shone even brighter, and it grew much larger than before, becoming more stable.

The airwaves quickly swept past and then slowly dissipated.

The entire giant peak shook constantly, and countless large and small rocks fell, as if a rain of stones.

After a while, the azure tornado around the Taoist temple dissipated, revealing the Taoist temple inside, unharmed.

Lu Yuqing was a little out of breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, but her expression was quite calm.

She turned her hand over and took out a medicinal pill, swallowing it. Her eyes looked towards the sky.

The anomalies of fire and lightning in mid-air instantly disappeared without a trace. Only a white altar was suspended in mid-air.

Within the altar floated a ball of dazzling azure light, several tens of feet in size, like an azure sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.

Seeing this scene, Han Li revealed a look of surprise and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Just at that moment, the azure sun suddenly shone brightly, exploding and blooming with streams of extremely dazzling azure light.

Each stream of azure light was an incomparably sharp sword aura, emitting piercing shrieks.

The white altar was instantly pierced by countless sword auras, instantly shattered, collapsing into countless fragments that scattered.

The eight surrounding dragon-coiling giant pillars also failed to escape their fate, pierced by countless sword auras, turning into metal debris.

Han Li's expression changed abruptly. His figure shot backward, and with a wave of his sleeve,

A black light flashed, and the Heavy Water True Wheel appeared in front of him, turning into a few tens of feet in size. A thick black curtain of water appeared on the surface, blocking him.

Although he was fast, he still couldn't keep up with these even faster sword auras. He was caught up just after flying a short distance, and one sword aura after another struck the Heavy Water True Wheel.

The True Wheel trembled violently, emitting countless loud sounds of metal clashing, and the black light on the surface flickered continuously. Large swaths of water light were torn apart, and the black water curtain quickly became thinner.

Han Li quickly urged a hand gesture in his heart, and a thunderous sound rang out on the surface of his body. The speed of his backward shot increased sharply, flying tens of miles away in a flash.

The azure sword aura only flew a short distance before suddenly dissipating.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's face relaxed. After waiting for a while, seeing that no sword aura flew after him, he waved his hand and put away the Heavy Water True Wheel.

At this moment, the azure sun in the distance flickered twice, and the emitted azure light quickly weakened, soon dissipating completely.

Seventy-two azure flying swords were suspended in mid-air, quietly forming a circle.

Han Li's eyes lit up, and his figure flickered and disappeared. The next moment, he appeared out of nowhere next to the azure sword circle.

After this refining, the Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Swords hadn't changed much in appearance. The sword bodies had become crystal clear, almost translucent, and one could faintly see a faint azure stream flowing inside.

An immense spiritual power fluctuation emanated from within the flying swords, causing the nearby earth spiritual energy to tremble and fluctuate. With the seventy-two flying swords as the center, a huge spiritual power vortex was vaguely formed.

Seemingly sensing Han Li's appearance, the seventy-two flying swords blurred and suddenly transformed into seventy-two azure lights, like an azure dragon, flashing into his dantian.

Han Li was startled, but he immediately sensed the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Swords quietly suspended in his dantian, without any unusual movements, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With the flying swords entering his body, his perception of their condition became even clearer.

After this refining, having absorbed the Myriad Ancient Sword Essence, the Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Swords had undergone such a great change, almost a complete transformation.

In terms of the total amount of spiritual power contained, a single Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Sword far surpassed the few immortal treasures in his hand. Even the Heavy Water True Wheel that he had painstakingly refined couldn't compare.

However, it was probably because the spiritual power within the Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Swords had been absorbed from many sword essences, so this spiritual power was somewhat scattered.

This situation had also occurred last time in the Thousand Peaks Gathering Spirit Sword Formation of the Sword Peak crystal grains, after absorbing the sword essences of other flying swords, so Han Li wasn't worried.

He looked at the seventy-two flying swords in his dantian, and his mind locked onto one of them. With a wave of his hand,

Several azure lights flashed in front of him, and only then did an azure flying sword appear.

Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly. Controlling the flying sword didn't seem as smooth as before. There was a feeling of heaviness and sluggishness, like wielding a heavy sword.

He didn't care. The power of the Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Swords had greatly increased, so this situation was to be expected. After refining it a little more in the future, it should be able to return to normal.

Han Li made a sword gesture with his hand and pointed.

The azure flying sword in front of him rippled with a burst of azure light, moved twice, but then stopped again.

He frowned, opened his mouth, and spat out a stream of azure light that flashed into the flying sword.

The azure light emitted from the surface of the azure flying sword became brighter, buzzing and trembling a few times, but then stopped again.

Han Li's face became a little heavy. He made hand gestures and waved, circulating all the immortal spiritual power in his body, and two streams of rich azure light shot out from his palms, merging into the flying sword.

At the same time, his divine sense also poured out and flew into the azure flying sword.

The azure flying sword immediately rippled with a bright azure light, extremely dazzling, and suddenly became agile.

"Swoosh!"

The flying sword twisted, shooting out like an azure spirit snake, and suddenly grew larger, turning into an azure giant sword a hundred feet in size. Intense azure sword light bloomed up and down the sword body.

The roaring sounds of swords swept out, and the void trembled.

A chilling sword intent suddenly emanated from the giant sword, and the nearby earth spiritual energy buzzed and fluctuated, gathering towards the azure giant sword.

The light emitted by the azure giant sword became brighter and brighter, shuttling through the clouds in mid-air, like a galloping and agile giant azure dragon, emitting bursts of startling dragon roars.

The white clouds in the sky rolled and fluctuated, quickly scattering, revealing an incomparably blue sky.

Han Li's face relaxed, and he looked at the giant sword that was shuttling through the clouds, a hint of joy in his eyes.

The power of this sword far exceeded his expectations. It was not at all weaker than the giant sword technique performed by combining the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Swarm Cloud Swords in the past.

His gaze flickered, and he quickly made hand gestures and pointed.

Rumble!

Thick golden arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on the azure giant sword, several times thicker than before, and exceptionally dazzling.

The thick electric arcs hissed and darted on the giant sword, like wild dragons and ferocious tigers galloping, giving people a violent and barbaric aura.

The azure giant sword instantly transformed into a golden thunder sword, and a terrifying aura of destruction emanated from it.

Seeing this scene, Han Li was slightly stunned.

These thick golden lightning bolts were simply incomparable to the previous Evil-warding Divine Lightning. Their power was at least several times greater, and they gave him an unclear and indescribable feeling.

He looked at the lightning giant sword, his eyes flashing, and then suddenly made a gesture and pointed.

The lightning giant sword flying in mid-air stopped, and the light it emitted suddenly became even more intense. The giant sword waved, as if grasped by an invisible giant hand, and slashed out into the void.

Rumble!

An incomparably grand azure sword aura flew out, several miles wide, with golden arcs of electricity wrapped around it, looking extremely terrifying.

The azure sword aura shot out, slashing towards the depths of the void, emitting piercing hissing sounds.

Wherever the sword aura passed, a black mark appeared, as if it was about to cut through this world, causing the void to tremble and twist violently. One spatial crack after another appeared and disappeared.

The giant sword aura flashed into the depths of the void and disappeared, but the hissing sounds still continued, as if the entire secret realm began to shake slightly.

After a long while, the sharp sounds stopped, and the secret realm returned to calm.
