Wang Yu
Chapter 1312: Seclusion Beyond the Heavens
However, despite the speed and the terrifying tidal force contained within, the palm struck only empty air.
Han Li's figure vanished like a ghost, reappearing silently behind him.
A divine demon form, towering tens of thousands of feet tall with three heads and six arms, suddenly materialized. The six enormous arms, imbued with terrifying power, swung around like windmills.
In an instant, as if drums were beating, countless fist shadows descended densely, slamming wildly into Shui Changtian.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of deafening thunderous roars echoed as heaven-shattering fist gales exploded. Under the rain of fist shadows, Shui Changtian couldn't even escape. His blue water armor shattered instantly, and his massive body collapsed like a falling mountain, raising countless clouds of dust.
A desolate atmosphere permeated the heavens and earth. Only the sound of falling fist shadows could be heard.
Intense water vapor surged from Shui Changtian, emitting bursts of white mist that enveloped an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Zi Ling and the others, who had been fighting and fleeing far away, unconsciously stopped fighting when they heard the terrifying commotion, all turning to look in that direction.
After a long time, the drumming sound finally faded.
Within the vast white mist, Han Li's figure had returned to normal. Lying at his feet was a mangled corpse, barely recognizable as humanoid.
Shui Changtian's Daluo body was so vulnerable before Han Li's Xuanqiao-activated physical strength.
After the barrage of punches, the pent-up frustration in Han Li's heart had finally dissipated.
He bent down to pick up a storage bracelet from beneath the remains, glanced at the surrounding mist, and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect you to have this mirage trick."
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding space twisted. Narrow streets began to appear, with tiered shops and tall buildings on both sides, and rows of entertainment venues emerged, filled with figures.
In an instant, Han Li found himself in a secular state city.
On the surrounding streets, people came and went, carriages and horses flowed, and various noisy sales cries filled the air. Even the aroma of meat wafted from the steaming baskets in front of a steamed bun shop a dozen steps away, invading Han Li's nose.
"The greatest hidden talent hides in the city. Your half-remnant soul knows how to hide," Han Li said with a smile.
Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, blowing fiercely forward.
A whirlwind swept through, and all the houses, tiles, and bricks, all the streets and alleys, shattered like dream bubbles, turning into smoke and dissipating.
Han Li saw at a glance that Shui Changtian's remnant soul had already escaped tens of thousands of miles away.
He raised his hand and waved, sending a golden sword light wrapped in the power of the Time Law shooting away, disappearing at the end of his vision.
With a scream, Shui Changtian was completely annihilated.
Upon seeing this, the surveillance immortals and patrol immortals who had followed him dared not linger and scattered in all directions.
Shi Chuan Kong and Zi Ling did not stop them and immediately flew towards Han Li.
At this moment, the Fa Yan Heaven and Earth divine ability also reached its time limit. The endless yellow sand gradually faded, and the seabed reappeared.
The seawater, which had been blocked by the aftershocks of the battle, finally began to flow back, refilling the newly formed deep trenches and canyons on the seabed.
Han Li moved and flew away, joining Zi Ling and the others.
"After today's battle, I finally realized how powerful you have become..." Seeing that Han Li was not injured, Zi Ling was relieved and sighed sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Han Li remained silent for a moment and said, "Not enough."
"I didn't expect to be ambushed by the Heavenly Court as soon as we returned to the True Immortal Realm. It seems that the days ahead will not be peaceful," Shi Chuan Kong said with concern.
"Didn't we expect this? What are your plans next?" Han Li smiled, changed the subject, and asked.
"Now that things have come to an end, I plan to return to the Demon Realm," Shi Chuan Kong sighed.
"The True Immortal Realm has been turbulent recently. It's safer for you to return to the Demon Realm given your identity," Han Li nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Han, since you are being hunted by the Heavenly Court in the True Immortal Realm, why not go to the Demon Realm to avoid the danger for a while? You don't know, Uncle Xie has now left Jilin Empty Realm and advanced into the Demon Realm, occupying nearly half of the world. Once you get there, you definitely don't have to worry about being hunted down," Shi Chuan Kong said.
"No need, I don't care about the Heavenly Court's pursuers. I don't want to get involved in other disputes for the time being. I just want to find a place to cultivate quietly," Han Li said, glancing at Shi Chuan Kong meaningfully.
Shi Chuan Kong felt a little embarrassed. His invitation to Han Li to return to the Demon Realm was indeed intended to pull Han Li in as a helper.
"Since Fellow Daoist Han already has his own plan, I won't force it. Miss Zi Ling, what are your plans next? Will you return to the Demon Realm, or..." Shi Chuan Kong turned to look at Zi Ling.
Zi Ling didn't answer, looking at Han Li, as if seeking his opinion.
"Zi Ling, I just said that the True Immortal Realm is currently turbulent. Your strength is not strong, so it's better to go back to the Demon Realm with Fellow Daoist Shi," Han Li said after a moment of thought.
"What about you?" Zi Ling stared into Han Li's eyes.
"Wan'er is now with the Reincarnation Palace, so I will naturally bring her back," a sharp glint flashed in Han Li's eyes.
"You want to go to the Reincarnation Palace again?" Zi Ling frowned upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Han, the Reincarnation Palace is so powerful that even the power of the Heavenly Court cannot wipe it out, and we have all seen the Reincarnation Palace Master's divine ability. Fellow Daoist Han's strength is powerful, but it is still far behind the Reincarnation Palace Master, so don't be impulsive," Shi Chuan Kong said in shock, quickly persuading him.
"I will not act rashly. I am referring to the future. First, I will improve my cultivation, at least advance to the late stage of the Daluo realm, and then make plans," Han Li said.
The three Supreme Laws are extraordinary, and it is common to challenge opponents beyond one's level.
The Reincarnation Palace Master is only in the late stage of the Daluo realm and has not reached the Dao Ancestor realm, but he can instantly kill Bone Emperor, a Dao Ancestor.
The deeper Han Li's understanding of the Time Law, the more he felt its terrifying nature. He had a feeling that once he advanced to the late stage of the Daluo realm, his strength would be sublimated once again.
"I'll accompany you," Zi Ling suddenly said.
"Zi Ling, it's not safe by my side, you should..." Han Li frowned slightly and said again.
"Whether it was in the Mortal Realm or the Spirit Realm, I was never able to accompany you. It has always been a regret in my heart. Now that I finally have the opportunity, let me be with you!" Zi Ling interrupted Han Li, her watery eyes reflecting Han Li's figure.
Han Li was silent for a moment, staring at Zi Ling like this, and nodded.
Since they met, he had never been able to accompany Zi Ling, and he felt very guilty.
Zi Ling smiled brightly upon hearing this, and the surrounding space seemed to become gentle for a moment.
"Since Fellow Daoist Zi Ling has decided to stay, then I will return to the Demon Realm alone. I will explain to Uncle Xie, and I wish you both all the best," Shi Chuan Kong glanced at Zi Ling, then looked at Han Li, a fleeting hint of loss in his eyes, and said, cupping his fist.
"Take care," Han Li returned a salute, cupping his fist.
Shi Chuan Kong looked at Han Li and Zi Ling again, lingered on Zi Ling for a moment, and then his figure turned into a silver light, disappearing into the air instantly.
Although Shi Chuan Kong's gaze was slight, how could Han Li and Zi Ling not see it, given their cultivation levels?
"Although Fellow Daoist Shi has helped me a lot in the Demon Realm, there is no relationship between him and me," Zi Ling said softly.
"Of course, how could I not believe you," Han Li smiled faintly.
Zi Ling relaxed upon hearing this.
The surrounding situation returned to calm, leaving only the gentle lapping of the sea.
"This place is not suitable for a long stay. Let's go too," Han Li said, looking around.
Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent out a golden light to wrap Zi Ling, soaring into the sky, flying straight towards the high altitude.
"Brother Han, where are we going?" Zi Ling asked in surprise.
"To the outer heavens."
Han Li smiled slightly, the golden light around him thickened, and he accelerated again, quickly passing through the Qingming Domain and arriving at the Tianfeng Domain.
Endless heavenly winds struck, earth-shattering.
Zi Ling's cultivation was not strong, and upon seeing this, a trace of fear appeared on her pretty face.
Han Li ignored the heavenly winds, explaining the matter of the Three Domains to Zi Ling while continuing forward.
As the golden light around him flickered, circles of golden ripples rippled outwards. The incoming heavenly winds entered the range of the golden ripples and immediately became still, frozen in place.
Han Li traveled easily through the endless heavenly winds, not only did he not encounter any danger, but his forward speed did not decrease at all.
Seeing this situation, Zi Ling's heart relaxed, and her eyes showed a hint of admiration towards Han Li.
Before long, the two passed through the Tianfeng Domain and arrived at the outer void.
The black space, countless meteorites, and various chaotic Yuan Qi storms left Zi Ling speechless for a long time, stunned.
"I didn't expect the outer void to be like this. It's really eye-opening, but what are we doing here?" After a long time, Zi Ling recovered, her expression still full of surprise.
"Naturally, we are here to retreat and cultivate. The Heavenly Court and the Reincarnation Palace are extremely powerful, and if there are Dao Ancestor-level people investigating, no matter where we hide near the ground, we are in danger of being discovered. The outer void is located outside the endless high altitude, endless and boundless. Only when we get here can we not worry about being found," Han Li said.
"I see, but this place looks dangerous and very volatile... can we really find a place to retreat in peace?" Zi Ling was relieved, and then said with some concern.
"No problem, leave it to me," Han Li smiled and took Zi Ling forward, while his huge divine sense spread out, sensing the surrounding situation.
