Near the Flowing Time Tower.
After a short rest, Li Qima and Qu Lin's expressions relaxed a lot.
"Friend Han, I've already helped you with the matter you asked me to help you with. Now, it's time to give me your Natal Token." Qu Lin stood up and said to Han Li.
"Of course." Han Li said, flipped his hand, took out Qu Lin's Natal Token, and threw it over.
"Hey, Friend Han, there's still mine. According to our agreement, you should also give me your Natal Token, right?"
Li Qima's expression suddenly turned ugly when he saw that Han Li only gave Qu Lin's Natal Token and didn't take out his own.
"Fellow Daoist Li Qima, you said before that you would give me a reward for retrieving this Natal Token for you. Did Your Excellency forget about it?" Han Li took out Li Qima's Natal Token but didn't hand it over to him. Instead, he rubbed it in his hand.
"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it. Speaking of which, you really don't want to suffer losses. But, this is also good. You can go straight to the point and avoid all the twists and turns." Li Qima said with a smile and opened his mouth.
A white light flew out of his mouth and landed in front of him. It turned out to be a large white flag. The flag was engraved with patterns of wind and clouds, exuding extremely strong fluctuations of the Laws of Wind.
Even before activating this treasure, the airflow in the surrounding hundreds of miles around the white flag began to tumble and surge, faintly forming a huge vortex of airflow.
"This Wind-Making Flag is an immortal artefact that I carefully refined in the past. It has already reached the Fifth Grade. It can be used to increase one's flight speed. It also has the effect of trapping people. It's one of my personal treasures. Now, I'll give it to Friend Han as a reward for retrieving my Natal Token."
Li Qima looked at the white flag with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but he immediately handed it over to Han Li.
"This flag is indeed extraordinary. But to exert its power, one must have the Laws of Wind. Han doesn't cultivate the Laws of Wind, so it's useless to him. I ask Fellow Daoist Li Qima to take it back.
As for the reward, Han wants to exchange it for something else. "
Han Li took a few glances at the white flag. Then, he waved his hand and sent the flag back to Liqima.
"What does this Friend Han want from me?" Li Qima asked after being startled.
"Han doesn't want the treasures on Li Qima's body. I just want Li Qima to agree to one condition of mine," said Han Li with a faint smile.
"What conditions?" Lichmar asked.
"I can see that Fellow Daoist Li Qima possesses a true spirit bloodline and belongs to the true spirit clan. I presume that you've heard of the two true spirits, Ba Xia and Zhu Yan, right?" Han Li asked through voice transmission.
"I know a thing or two about them. They are extremely rare and powerful truesouls. Why would Friend Han mention them?" Liqima asked curiously.
"Han would like to ask Daoist Li Qima to help me find a portion of their true spirit essence blood. That would be my reward," Han Li said.
He already had ten true spirit bloodlines in his body, and he only needed two more to reach perfection. Those two true spirit bloodlines were Ba Xia and Zhu Yan.
However, he was currently being chased by the Heavenly Court and other powers, so he didn't have the spare time to search for those two true spirit essences. Li Qima possessed a true spirit bloodline, so it would be better for him to search for them.
"That's easy for you to say, Fellow Daoist Han. Those two types of true spirits are practically extinct in the True Immortal Realm. Where do you expect me to find them? And even if I do find them, I'm afraid it won't be easy to extract their bloodlines. Taking a step back, Ba Xia and Zhu Yan are both extremely powerful true spirits. Extracting the power of their bloodlines is easier said than done."
"I also know that these two true spirit bloodlines won't be easy to find. Fellow Daoist Li Qima, just do your best to find them for me. If you have any difficulties, you can contact me at any time." Han Li took out a voice transmission formation and handed it over to Li Qima.
Li Qima's eyes flickered and he accepted the two items.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll just take it and leave?" He waved the card in his hand and said.
"Han believes that he has some ability to read people. Even though I haven't interacted with you for long, I can tell that you are a man of your word," Han Li said with a faint smile.
Moreover, finding the remaining two true spirit essences wasn't too important. Even if Li Qima didn't fulfill his promise, it wouldn't be a big deal to him. At worst, he could just put a bounty on the Samsara Temple and slowly search for them.
"I like the fact that Fellow Daoist Han trusts me so much.
Alright, I'll try my best to find them. "
Li Qima's eyes flickered as he put away the Communication Formation Plate, the Life Origin Token, and the Wind Creation Flag.
Jiao San watched as Han Li and Li Qima conversed. Her eyes flashed, but she didn't ask any questions.
Right at this moment, another loud rumble rang out, and the nearby space shattered once more.
Two figures flew out from inside. They were Liu Zizai and Hu San.
The two of them had suffered different degrees of injuries, but they didn't seem to be in a serious condition. When they saw Han Li and the others, they immediately flew over.
"Senior Liu, Fellow Liu, you've all come out safely," Jiao San said happily.
Before Jiao San's voice faded, another change occurred.
A series of deafening rumbles suddenly sounded from the front as the sixth floor of the Flowing Time Pagoda suddenly collapsed. A spatial storm erupted from within and spread out in all directions, sweeping Han Li and the others away.
Not only that, but the spatial storm was also mixed with spatial cracks, cutting in all directions.
Everyone hurriedly dodged, but there were too many spatial cracks, and they were too sudden. One of the spatial cracks slashed past Hu Three's right arm, and with a 'chi la' sound, his arm was immediately severed. Following that, his arm exploded, and blood splattered all over the place.
When the others saw this, they quickly retreated.
Lan Yan, who was cultivating in the canyon far away, was also awakened. She hurriedly flew towards the crowd and fled.
The others weren't surprised by Lan Yan's appearance.
Fortunately, the spatial storm didn't spread too far. Instead, it started to converge, so no one was injured.
Before they could say anything, another loud explosion came from the Time Tower. The fifth floor also exploded.
Then the fourth floor, the third floor, the second floor, and even the first floor exploded one after another.
The entire Time Tower disappeared without a trace. All that was left was a spatial storm that crazily cut and devoured everything around it.
The power contained in this spatial storm was extremely terrifying. Abnormally powerful spatial power rolled within it. It was far more powerful than the Void Turbulence that Han Li had experienced before.
Han Li even felt that even if he still had the Laws of Time and his Celestial Spiritual Energy, being sucked into this spatial turbulence would only result in death.
The entire space here was also shaken by this terrifying spatial storm. It shook violently, and the ground trembled.
"What a terrifying spatial power. Fortunately, we escaped in time. Otherwise, we would have died without a burial place." Qu Lin's face was filled with lingering fear.
Although his body was extremely strong, he felt that he couldn't withstand the power of this spatial turbulence.
"Each floor of the Time Tower is an independent space. The entire Time Tower can be called a Spatial Celestial Artifact. Moreover, its grade is extremely high. The power of this self-destruction is naturally not small," Liu Zizai said.
"Sect Fellow Shi is still inside. Wen Tai Sui's remnant soul had activated the Celestial Being Realm's Spirit Domain, forcing him to self-destruct. Now, he's also involved in such a terrifying space storm. I'm afraid he's in danger," Liqima sighed as he looked at the violent storm in front of him.
"The power of a Celestial Realm Spiritual Domain's self-destruction is not small. It is enough to threaten any Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm existence. Moreover, Wen Tai Sui's remnant soul used the Time Spiritual Domain.
Fellow Shi has just escaped not long ago. His strength shouldn't have completely recovered. I'm afraid he's really … "Liu Zizai also sighed.
Jiao San frowned and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph, it's better that that old lunatic is dead. Every time I see him, it's bad luck." Qu Lin snorted.
"You little worm, who do you think is better off dead? I haven't beaten you up for a while. Are you itching for a beating?" A sudden voice rang in everyone's ears. It was the Black Heavens Evil Lord.
Qu Lin's body trembled and he looked around in panic. His face instantly turned pale.
At this moment, a strand of black light flew out of everyone's body and gathered in one place.
Han Li and the others were shocked. They hurriedly used their arts to check the situation within their bodies. However, they didn't find anything wrong.
The people who were watching from afar were the same. A strand of black light flew out and gathered in this place.
All the black light merged into one and turned into a black figure. It was the Black Heavens Evil Lord.
When Qu Lin saw this, his face turned even paler. He stood there in a daze and didn't dare to move.
"Fellow Shi, your Heart Magic has already been cultivated to the Illusory Demon Heart Manipulation realm. Rumor has it that when you cultivate the Heart Magic to this realm, you will be immortal.
Even if your physical body and soul are destroyed, you can be reborn from other people's Heart Devils at any time. It's impossible to be killed, "said Liu Zizai with a look of disbelief.
"Hehe, of course. Although Wen Taisui suppressed me for so many years, he also helped my Heart Magic to advance a step further," said the Black Heavens Evil Lord proudly.
"Senior Shi's divine abilities are boundless. We are truly filled with admiration," said Jiao San and the others respectfully.
The Black Heavens Evil Lord couldn't help laughing heartily after being praised by everyone.
Han Li looked at the Black Heavens Evil Lord and his brows suddenly twitched. He had noticed something.
Although this person had been revived, the aura he emitted was far weaker than before. It seemed that this kind of rebirth came with a price.
When Qu Lin saw that the Black Heavens Evil Lord's attention had been diverted by the crowd, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He quietly moved and hid behind the crowd.
"Little worm, where do you think you're going?" The Black Heavens Evil Lord suddenly looked at Qu Lin. His eyes turned cold and his figure disappeared.
Qu Lin's expression changed. His body flashed with golden light and he instantly transformed into Golden Immortal Devouring.
He had just transformed when the Black Heavens Evil Lord's figure appeared in front of him and sent him flying with a punch.
Following that, a golden figure flashed and fist winds fell like rain.
Qu Lin was once again sent flying by the Black Heavens Evil Lord. His miserable screams rang out incessantly.
However, the Black Heavens Evil Lord's strength was much lower than before. Although he was still able to send Qu Lin flying, the damage was much less than before.
