"Roar …"
Qu Lin suddenly let out a sharp cry, and dense golden spots of light appeared on the carapace on his back.
With a series of "Puchi" sounds, these golden spots flashed and instantly grew countless sharp golden thorns, like a hedgehog, making it difficult for Han Li to attack.
All the phantoms created by Han Li flashed and disappeared, leaving only one person. He grabbed with one hand.
Golden light flashed in his palm, and nine Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords shot out like lightning and merged into one in mid-air, turning into a giant golden sword that was hundreds of meters long. With a large amount of golden lightning, it heavily slashed at Qu Lin's back.
"Boom!" A dazzling golden light burst out, mixed with bursts of thunder!
Qu Lin was hit and sent flying. Most of the golden thorns on his body were broken, and he flew backward like a meteorite. Blood spurted from his mouth, and the spiritual domain around him collapsed.
Although the golden thorns were broken, his body had blocked the power of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. On the surface, he did not seem injured, but how could the Du Tian Thunder contained in the sword be taken lightly?
Although the physical body of the Golden Devouring Immortal of the Zenith Heaven Realm was indestructible and comparable to a top immortal weapon, once the physical body was pierced, it would lose the protection it was most proud of.
When the power of the Divine Lightning entered his body, it instantly surged within him.
Qu Lin's body originally had internal injuries. Now that he was stimulated by the power of the Du Tian Thunder, it immediately broke out. The operation of the Immortal Spiritual Power was chaotic, and the spiritual domain could not be maintained.
A trace of despair surged in his heart, but he immediately pulled himself together and tried to calm the chaotic Immortal Spiritual Power in his body, planning to counterattack.
But at this moment, a seemingly substantial golden ball of light fell from the sky. The speed was so fast that he had no time to dodge, and he was enveloped in it.
Qu Lin's body was wrapped in the golden light, and he was immediately unable to move as if he had fallen into a quagmire.
Almost at the next moment, two long crystal lights shot out from the light ball and slashed at Qu Lin's body.
Qu Lin's body was extremely fragile in front of the crystal lights. With a "chi la" sound, he was easily cut into three pieces, and golden blood splashed out.
The golden light ball suddenly surged, and countless golden insects were rolling in it. They were the incarnations of the countless Gold Devouring Beetles!
Moreover, all the Gold Devouring Beetles were real and not illusions!
On the other hand, Jin Tong had disappeared at some point.
Seeing this, Han Li's heart stirred, and a thoughtful expression flashed through his eyes.
The Gold Devouring Beetles surrounded Qu Lin's three pieces.
The three segments of Qu Lin's body rapidly shrank, but golden light suddenly flashed from his body and it disintegrated, transforming into countless Gold Devouring Insects that fled in all directions.
Han Li raised his hands upon seeing this, and the golden light within his spirit domain swirled around his body to form a massive golden vortex.
The power of Han Li's spirit domain was extremely vast, and the laws of time were one of the three paramount laws, so they reigned supreme over all other laws. As such, the Gold Devouring Beetle that Qu Lin had transformed into was swept up by the vortex of the spirit domain and was unable to escape.
Lin Fei Of Lin Lin Yang Gold devout, and flew, and. on Jin Qu Dong Golden Lin of of of Jin of Lin '.
Qu Lin's Gold Devouring Beetles couldn't escape and could only turn around to fight Jin Tong again.
The two waves of Gold Devouring Beetles were like two golden torrents that fiercely collided with each other, releasing ear-piercing screeches.
For some reason, an indescribable feeling welled up in Han Li's heart as he looked on at this scene. He felt as if he had returned to a very, very long time ago, when he had first obtained his Gold Devouring Beetles and discovered that they were devouring one another.
Qu Lin was first injured by Han Li, and then he was ambushed by Jin Tong, further injuring him. Although he was stronger than Jin Tong, he was now at a disadvantage.
But Qu Lin's cultivation was higher, and although Jin Tong had the upper hand, he wasn't able to defeat Qu Lin.
Han Li's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and he sighed. He formed an incantation gesture with his hands, and the Spirit Domain flourished with golden light and the power of the Time Laws rippled.
The speed of Qu Lin's Gold Devouring Beetles suddenly slowed by ten times.
"Uncle, many thanks!" Jin Tong's voice rang out from within the swarm of beetles, and they immediately swarmed forward.
With Han Li's assistance, Jin Tong immediately gained an overwhelming advantage. Qu Lin's swarm of beetles rapidly decreased, and it seemed as if they were about to be devoured.
Qu Lin's swarm of beetles let out sharp screeches and converged in a single direction as if they were trying to form a single body.
Han Li murmured to himself before sweeping a sleeve through the air, "It's just as you said; the two of you are one, so you're going to return to one another sooner or later. Why are you still struggling?"
A dozen thick bolts of golden lightning shot out from his hand and struck the swarm of beetles in a flash.
"Boom!" A clap of thunder exploded, and a ball of golden lightning exploded like a blazing sun!
The swarm of beetles that had gathered with great difficulty immediately exploded and scattered in all directions.
This delay allowed Jin Tong's swarm of beetles to immediately submerge Qu Lin's Gold Devouring Beetles.
A short moment later, the swarm of Gold Devouring Beetles calmed down and converged in a single direction.
With a flash of golden light, the graceful figure of a golden-haired girl gradually emerged. It was Jin Tong.
At this moment, she had grown quite a bit compared to before, and her appearance had become even more beautiful. However, her expression was still ice-cold, making it difficult for people to approach her.
Jin Tong's figure appeared, but she didn't speak. Instead, she immediately sat down cross-legged and golden light soared from her body. Numerous golden specks of light appeared on the surface of her body; there were more than six hundred of them.
Han Li saw this and knew that Jin Tong had swallowed Qu Lin. Her vitality had greatly increased, and she needed to circulate her cultivation to refine it.
He waved his hands and azure formation flags flew out and landed around the two. Then, several layers of azure light curtains appeared around them.
Golden light surged from Jin Tong's body and began to circulate like a tide. The number of golden specks on her body rapidly increased, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than seven hundred of them.
Han Li rejoiced in his heart as he saw this.
At this moment, they were in a perilous situation. If Jin Tong could increase her strength, it would naturally be beneficial to them.
Chen Xi didn't stay idle. He withdrew a medicinal pill and consumed it before silently circulating his cultivation to refine it.
Time passed slowly. More and more Immortal Apertures were opened on Jin Tong's body, and it didn't take long for it to reach over eight hundred. She was approaching the limits of the initial-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Han Li couldn't help but be surprised that Qu Lin's vitality was actually so thick. Could it be that it can allow Jin Tong to break through to the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm in one go?
The Immortal Apertures on Jin Tong's body flickered. When the number of Immortal Apertures on her body reached eight hundred and thirty-nine, the surging golden light gradually calmed down, and then all of it was retracted into her body.
Han Li frowned slightly. He clearly sensed that there was still a great deal of vitality within Jin Tong's body that hadn't been used, but his frown eased up right after.
Opening up the Immortal Apertures wasn't enough to break through to the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. The most important thing was to kill the Evil Corpse. Jin Tong was clearly still capable of doing this, so he chose to stop.
Jin Tong restrained his aura and stood up.
"Jin Tong, I'm relieved to see that you're fine." Han Li formed a seal to retract the restrictions in the surroundings, and then he sized Jin Tong up as he spoke.
"Uncle, it's been a long time!
Speaking of which, why are you here? "Jin Tong's beautiful eyes flickered as he asked.
"To save you, of course. It's not just me, Whitey is here as well." Han Li spoke indifferently as he raised his hand and waved it.
A white light flashed, and Whitey's figure appeared. It had already transformed into the form of a Pixiu.
"Boss, I've missed you so much!" As soon as Whitey appeared, it immediately pounced towards Jin Tong with snot and tears flowing down its face.
"Stop!" Jin Tong stretched out his long leg and stopped Whitey's head from approaching him so that it wouldn't stain his body.
Jin Tong glanced at Whitey and Han Li, and a trace of gratitude flashed through his beautiful eyes as he spoke in a low voice, "Uncle, I was careless all those years ago and was captured by the people of the Nine Origin Temple. I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."
Han Li waved his hand and said, "We're companions. We've been together for so many years, so why bother saying all this?"
"You're right, I was too fond of appearances." Jin Tong smiled slightly, like a hundred flowers blooming.
Han Li's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. He secretly praised Jin Tong's current demeanor. In terms of appearance, almost no female cultivator that he knew could compare to him. He even faintly felt that he could compete with Violet Spirit.
"Boss, it's great that you're fine!"
Whitey finally recovered from the excitement at this moment. He used his big head to continuously rub against Jin Tong as he muttered.
"Jin Tong, according to the information I received, you were previously captured by the Nine Origin Temple and locked in the Ghost Valley. Why are you here?" Han Li asked.
"Hmph!
Gui Lingzi locked me in a jade cage and wanted to give me to the Heavenly Court during the Bodhi Banquet. However, he suddenly left a few days ago, and I took the opportunity to bite open the cage at the expense of my vitality to escape. However, I'm not familiar with this place, so I accidentally came here. "Jin Tong said angrily.
"I see.
Although we're temporarily safe, it won't be easy for us to safely leave the Nine Origin Temple. "Han Li slowly nodded and said.
…
The Nine Origin Temple was the core of the entire Nine Origin Temple. It had always been regarded as a forbidden area in the sect, and the Ancestral Hall was located at the back of the entire Nine Origin Temple.
However, at this moment, the core area of the temple was also under fierce attack from the Samsara Palace.
The Space Restriction around the Nine Origin Temple had long been opened, and the entire place was enveloped by a layer of golden light barrier. There were also thousands of core elders and disciples of the Nine Origin Temple guarding the perimeter.
This place seemed to be a place that the Samsara Palace paid special attention to this time. There were actually several times more cultivators than the elders and disciples of the Nine Origin Temple gathered here. All of them wore various kinds of masks as they madly attacked the Nine Origin Temple.
In the beginning, the elders and disciples of the Nine Origin Temple relied on the barrier to fight the Samsara Palace cultivators to the death.
However, they soon suffered heavy casualties and could no longer hold on. They all retreated to the barrier, resisting stubbornly while waiting for reinforcements from the other elders and disciples of the sect.
However, the Samsara Palace's large-scale attack on the Nine Origin Temple had clearly been planned for a long time, and they were already fully prepared. Before attacking the Nine Origin Temple, they had already pinned down a large number of Nine Origin Temple cultivators elsewhere. At the same time, they had also left an ambush on the path that reinforcements had to pass through.
It could be said that the Nine Origin Temple was currently isolated and had temporarily become a dead end.
