Late at night.

On the inky black sky, the stars appeared unusually dim, with only the seven stars of the Big Dipper, arranged in a ring, remaining, like a silver-purple sun, emitting extraordinary radiance.

The silver-purple beam of light, more than a hundred zhang thick, that had been projected from above suddenly contracted and disappeared.

There was a loud "boom"!

The spherical light curtain that enveloped the entire mountain peak exploded, and countless silver lights flew like fireflies all over the sky, illuminating most of the night sky.

From afar, it looked as if the Milky Way had fallen from the heavens to the earth.

However, this beautiful scene did not last long. As if suddenly summoned, these silver rays abruptly retracted, rapidly converging towards the summit of the snow peak, and were entirely absorbed into the body of a young man whose body reflected silver light.

This person was none other than Han Li.

Wave after wave of surging silver light rushed in, but Han Li remained in a hand-seal posture, eyes tightly closed, without moving.

After an unknown period of time, his eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes suddenly opened, the blue light in his pupils flashing, clear and incomparably pure, reflecting thousands of stars.

The next moment, he let out a soft shout, and a mist-like silver light sprayed out from his mouth, flickering for a moment before gradually disappearing into the air.

At his chest and abdomen, seven blue light spots shone brightly, dazzling and radiant.

The seventh Mysterious Aperture had finally solidified!

The silver light surrounding him was also gradually receding, and a semi-transparent film formed outside the surface of his skin, with faint strands of light silver flowing incessantly.

"This is the True Extremity Membrane, the symbol of the True Extremity Body! Once the Northern Dipper Star Essence Technique is complete, I will immediately attain this body!"

Han Li was overjoyed. He raised his arm and examined the light membrane covering his entire body, discovering that it did not require the consumption of magic power to maintain. It felt slightly cool to the touch and did not feel foreign, as if it were a part of his own body.

With a thought, the light membrane immediately contracted, adhering to his skin. After a flash of starlight, it merged into his body and disappeared.

When he urged it again, the light membrane instantly reappeared through his body.

After experimenting a few times, Han Li was filled with joy. While mastering the free retraction and release of the True Extremity Membrane, he also discovered that his divine sense had been fully restored.

Now, in terms of divine sense alone, ordinary True Immortals were far inferior to him.

This was undoubtedly excellent news for Han Li, who was about to return to the Immortal World.

At this point, the anomalies within a thousand miles gradually subsided, and even the erupting volcano gradually calmed down.

Only the fire that had spread through the mountains and forests could not be extinguished for the time being.

Hundreds of miles away, the scattered cultivators suspended in the air all looked up, somewhat at a loss.

The white-robed youth's back was soaked with sweat, and he murmured in confusion, "Is this... over?"

"Perhaps..." The gaunt old man's face showed some hesitation, and he said uncertainly.

At this moment, Han Li, on the snow peak, did not have the slightest expression of joy on his face, but instead, his gaze was calm, and his expression appeared somewhat solemn.

Only he knew that the real test had just begun!

Just now, at the instant he achieved the True Extremity Body, the power of repulsion from the interface had appeared out of thin air and pressed down on him like a shadow.

Now, he only felt that the surrounding air flow had instantly become sluggish, as if his entire person had sunk into a quagmire, and even breathing had become somewhat difficult.

He was not unfamiliar with this power of repulsion. He had experienced it briefly when ascending in the Spirit World, but he had been too busy dealing with the lightning tribulation at the time and had not paid too much attention to it.

He took a deep breath, made a hand seal with both hands, and his lips parted slightly, chanting incantations.

With a "buzz," dozens of lights lit up around him simultaneously. A stream of rich spiritual power flowed out from the spirit stones at the top of the stone pillars, flowing into the formation along the patterns on the pillars.

The runes engraved on the ground and surrounding stone pillars immediately lit up, quickly converging into a silver light pattern array that was exquisitely complex to the extreme.

This array was called the "Interface Void Spirit Pattern Array," a spatial magic array he had found in an ancient array book in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Jingyuan Temple.

Although it could not shatter the void, it could clear some spatial obstructions, which was a great help to him now.

With a loud "boom!" dozens of silver light pillars shot up from the snow peak at the same time, piercing straight into the dark clouds in the sky.

The heavy dark clouds instantly transformed into a giant spiral as the light pillars pierced through, rapidly rotating around the light pillars, while simultaneously driving the surrounding wind and snow to whirl madly.

Thick lightning bolts, like dark blue dragons, continuously rolled and twisted around the light pillars, emitting bursts of rumbling sounds.

The scattered cultivators who had been watching from afar were shocked by this scene, fearing that some other anomaly would arise from it. They took the initiative to retreat, flying directly to a point over a thousand miles away before stopping in alarm and uncertainty.

At this time, Han Li, who was in the formation, stood up, waved his wrist, and dozens of black lights immediately flew out from his sleeve, nearly a hundred Star Moon Treasures, shooting towards the surrounding light pillars.

Previously, in order to refine these Star Moon Treasures with spatial power, he had not only exhausted all the Yin Chen Stones stored in the Heavenly Ghost Sect but had also used all the Yin Chen Stones he had obtained from Tong Ren'e's storage bag.

These Star Moon Treasures flew into the light pillars and immediately rushed straight up along the light, all disappearing into the dark clouds.

Han Li made a hand seal and silently chanted for a while. Suddenly, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted "Explode."

"Boom..."

Dozens of earth-shattering explosions sounded one after another, and countless silver starlight exploded at the top of the sky, transforming into a silver light curtain that supported a silver area in the vortex of dark clouds.

At this moment, a light shone on Han Li's body, and his figure suddenly leaped up, flying straight into that area.

The inside of the vortex was filled with chaos, with gray mist everywhere. Hundreds of gray-white spatial cracks of varying lengths were scattered around the silver area, appearing extremely unstable.

Han Li's eyes swept over, and he saw that small gray-white light blades would occasionally fly out from those cracks.

As soon as the surrounding dark clouds came into contact, they would immediately be cut into pieces. Even a bolt of lightning in the distance was cut in two by a light blade the moment it flashed and dissipated.

As the surrounding gray light blades continued to flash, the silver area supported by countless starlight was also eroded, its area shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing large patches of silver light being swallowed by the dark clouds again, Han Li no longer hesitated. He immediately let out a low roar, and golden light shone brightly all over his body. His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a golden giant ape several tens of zhang tall.

After taking a deep breath, a bloodstain between the eyebrows of the giant ape split open, and a cloud of black air surged out from it, a dark and ghostly eyeball floating out.

A black light flashed deep in the pupil of the eyeball, and a thin black light line sprayed out from it.

As soon as the black line sprayed out, it trembled violently and suddenly transformed into a thick, pitch-black light column, disappearing into the void in a flash.

However, the next moment, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the dark cloud vortex.

Immediately afterward, the entire sky suddenly became silent, as if the entire space had been frozen, and even the rotating dark clouds and flying snow had all stopped instantly.

In the depths of the vortex, a gray-white light wall, no more than ten zhang in size and extremely irregular in shape, appeared somewhat blurry in the dark clouds.

A blue light flashed in the giant ape's eyes. It raised its arms, and two dazzling silver lights lit up on its mountain-sized fists. A pair of hideous gauntlets with white bone spurs suddenly appeared, wrapping around its entire fist.

After a earth-shattering roar, the giant ape raised all the magic power in its body, and wisps of golden light penetrated out of its body, flowing into the silver gauntlets along its arms.

The silver light on the gauntlets suddenly shone brightly, expanding in a somewhat uncoordinated manner.

At the same time, the seven blue lights at Han Li's chest and abdomen suddenly shone brightly, and the muscles of his entire body swelled again. His two arms suddenly became thicker.

It suddenly raised a fist and smashed it toward the gray-white light wall.

A silver light suddenly rushed out from the end of the fist, rapidly expanding in mid-air, transforming into a silver dragon head phantom the size of a house, rushing straight into the depths of the vortex.

With a loud "boom"!

The entire sky shook violently, and the gray-white light wall in the depths of the vortex emitted sounds like a mirror shattering, cracking into dense spiderweb-like cracks that almost covered the entire wall.

However, even so, the gray-white light wall still did not break, and instead, the silver area that had been supporting it shattered in this violent vibration.

The originally still dark clouds swirled frantically again, and countless gray-white cracks gradually expanded, gathering toward the giant ape.

Seeing this, the giant ape immediately took steps in the void. After a few flashes, it appeared in front of the gray-white light wall like a ghost.

He raised all the magic power in his body again, and light flowed on his arms. Golden scales rose under the golden fur, the muscles quickly swelled again, the seven mysterious apertures in front of his chest shone brightly, and the Sky Piercing Gauntlets on his hands shone even more brilliantly.

A gradually solid silver dragon head phantom appeared on it, and roars of Jiaolong came from it.

"Break for me!"

The golden giant ape spoke in human language, emitting a thunderous sound, and punched toward the gray-white light wall.

With a loud "boom"!

On the silver gauntlet on the giant ape's right hand, the silver-white bone spurs shattered inch by inch, and the dragon head silver shadow and the gauntlet exploded at the same time.

A round of silver sun suddenly lit up in the depths of the sky, blooming with thousands of dazzling lights that were impossible to look at directly, almost swallowing the entire gray-white light wall.

Immediately afterward, there was a crisp sound of porcelain shattering!

The gray-white light wall in front made a "crack" sound and suddenly shattered, breaking open a hole about ten zhang high, revealing a gray space behind it.

At the same time, an extremely strong spatial fluctuation that Han Li had never felt before came from the opening.

His eyes flashed slightly, and the golden light on his body suddenly flashed, transforming back into human form. With a flash, he disappeared into the opening.

As soon as he entered, dozens of spatial cracks behind him swallowed the gray light wall along with the dark clouds.

After a few more breaths, the silver-white light pillars on the snow peak converged and gradually dimmed. The vortex formed in the high sky gradually collapsed, and the spatial cracks mixed in it gradually healed.

The snow once again swept down, and everything returned to silence on the peak except for the howling wind.
