Chapter 339: Giant Eye

The silver-robed young man began to chant an incantation, and a dense stream of runes surged out of his mouth, then swept toward the black inkstone hovering in the air in front of him before vanishing into it in a flash.

The inkstone immediately began to swell drastically, quickly expanding to over 100 feet in size, and all of the scenery and creatures engraved on its surface took on an extremely life-like quality.

For some reason, a hint of foreboding welled up in Han Li's heart upon seeing this.

The silver-robed young man switched to a different hand seal before flicking his fingers consecutively through the air, and the giant black inkstone began to revolve on the spot while releasing a vast expanse of black qi that resembled a puddle of black ink that was swirling around in the air above the inkstone.

The black qi quickly formed a dark cloud that was around 1,000 feet in size, and it encompassed both the silver-robed young man and the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain while continuing to rapidly expand.

Han Li faltered slightly upon seeing this, following which his eyes narrowed slightly as he shot back in retreat without any hesitation while sweeping his spiritual sense through the surrounding area.

However, as soon as his spiritual sense entered the dark cloud, he discovered that it was like a vast expanse of nothingness that he couldn't detect anything from.

Upon making this observation, he immediately raised a hand before pointing a finger forward, and the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords around him immediately began to glow brightly before quickly forming an azure sword lotus flower around him.

The lotus flower began to rapidly revolve while releasing countless streaks of azure sword qi, which swept toward the black cloud with tremendous might.

Countless streaks of sword qi tore through the black cloud as balls of azure and golden lightning exploded incessantly, tearing countless holes through the cloud and threatening to scatter it altogether.

However, the black cloud was still constantly expanding, and the holes that had been torn into its surface were quickly filled again, leaving the cloud completely unscathed.

It seemed that the formidable storm of sword qi hadn't affected the black cloud at all, and it was as if the silver-robed young man inside had vanished into thin air.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he was just about to do something else when the black cloud finally ceased in its expansion.

It then began to churn violently while releasing countless black runes that converged toward the center, forming a black ball the size of a house in the blink of an eye.

Han Li observed the scene unfolding before him for a moment, then swept a hand through the air, and the azure sword lotus flower in front of him swelled in size while its petals formed several azure light barriers before him.

All of a sudden, the black ball shuddered, and a red line suddenly appeared on its surface before splitting apart in either direction to reveal a massive vertical eye.

The eye was a pristine white color with an inky black pupil, and it appeared to have been no different from an ordinary eye, but it was giving off a peculiar aura, and as soon as its gaze turned to settle upon Han Li, the sense of foreboding in his heart instantly became compounded even further.

He reflexively rushed away to the side, not willing to be under the direct scrutiny of the giant eye, but the eye was able to track his movements, and its gaze remained firmly fixed upon him.

Han Li was quite alarmed to see this, and azure light emerged over his body alongside arcs of golden lightning as he rapidly flew through the air while constantly changing directions, yet no matter what he did, the giant eye continued to track him without fail.

Furthermore, white light was beginning to gather at the center of the eye's pupil, and it seemed to have been preparing something.

All of a sudden, Han Li harrumphed coldly as he withdrew the azure sword lotus flower in front of him, then flew directly toward the black cloud above the giant eye as a streak of azure light, plunging into the cloud in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he plunged into the dark cloud, Han Li immediately felt his surroundings go dark. He swept a sleeve through the air to release a large body of black liquid, and it was none other than the heavy water that he had accumulated over the past years.

The heavy water circled around him once, instantly forming a massive black spherical barrier that encompassed the entire space within a radius of 100 feet around him to keep the black mist at bay.

After doing all of that, he swept his gaze across his surroundings with blue light flashing in his eyes, but all he could see were layers upon layers of dark clouds, and even with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes, visibility was limited to no more than 1,000 feet.

Furthermore, his spiritual sense remained severely restricted, and he was barely able to release it out of his body at all.

His brows furrowed slightly as he slowly flew forward with the heavy water barrier around him, and as he did so, he was doing everything in his power to find the silver-robed young man.novε)LB.In

However, even after flying for a long while, his surroundings were still filled with nothing but dark clouds.

Furthermore, the cloud didn't appear to have been all that big from the outside, but after entering it, he felt as if he had entered a boundless independent space.

Moments later, Han Li drew to a halt, then inspected his surroundings momentarily before abruptly sweeping a hand forward through the air.

A dull thump rang out as a thick streak of azure sword qi that was over 1,000 feet in length shot forth before plunging into the black cloud up ahead, instantly piercing through it to open up a passageway that was several thousand feet long.

However, in the next instant, the surrounding black clouds quickly converged from all sides, and the hole was instantly filled again.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he swept a sleeve through the air, and the 72 Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were released once again before fusing as one into a single giant azure sword that was several thousand feet in length.

The sword was giving off radiant azure light and incredibly thick arcs of golden lightning, and it was so bright that it was blinding to look at.

A large area was instantly torn into the nearby dark cloud, and Han Li made a hand seal, upon which the giant sword beside him began to glow even more radiantly as it slashed viciously through the space up ahead.

The black cloud up ahead churned violently as a massive gash was sliced into it, and the sword strike was so formidable that it had almost sliced the entire black cloud into two.

The entire space that Han Li was situated in began to tremble violently, yet aside from that, there was no other change, and a few moments later, everything reverted back to its original state, as if that sword strike had never been unleashed at all.

Han Li's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, but right at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I didn't think you would rush in here. That's come as quite a surprise, but don't think that this will allow you to avoid my Soul Destroying True Light."

The voice belonged to none other than the silver-robed young man, and as soon as his voice trailed off, a burst of dazzling white light abruptly appeared in the black cloud up ahead before hurtling rapidly toward Han Li.

Han Li remained still on the spot as the giant azure sword in front of him split up into 72 small swords once again, then came together to form an azure sword lotus flower that began to revolve above his head.

At the same time, the surface of the heavy water protective barrier around him also began to flash and ripple incessantly.

In the blink of an eye, the burst of white light reached no more than several thousand feet away from Han Li before drawing to a halt, revealing itself to have been the same black inkstone from before, except it had become semi-transparent.

The silver-robed young man stood behind the inkstone with his hands clasped behind his back and a cold smile on his face.

"I thought you were too much of a coward to come out," Han Li said with a cold smile as he took a glance at the huge inkstone.

A hint of fury flashed through the silver-robed young man's face upon hearing this, and he harrumphed in a cold voice, "If you're so eager to die, then let me grant you your wish!"

The giant inkstone began to revolve on the spot while giving off rays of dazzling light that were as bright as the sun.

Countless white runes emerged, giving off extremely formidable law fluctuations, and a projection of a giant eye appeared before casting its gaze toward Han Li, just like what had happened outside the black cloud.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately dodged to the side.

However, right at this moment, the black cloud above him suddenly began to churn before abruptly splitting apart, and the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain emerged without any warning.

Countless gray runes were swirling around the mountain, giving off dazzling gray light.

A thick pillar of gray light abruptly came crashing down from the heavens, forming a massive gray space that enveloped Han Li's entire body in the blink of an eye.

Enshrouded within the gray light, the spiritual light emanating from the 72 Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords immediately dimmed.

Han Li also felt an immense constrictive force around his body, locking him firmly in place and preventing him from moving.

He let loose a low roar, and bright azure light erupted from his body as he struggled with all his might, but the gray light remained completely resolute, and there was some type of law power surging within it, preventing him from breaking free.

Right at this moment, the giant inkstone up ahead revolved on the spot, following which a thick pillar of white light shot out of the huge eye, hurtling directly toward Han Li.

Even before the pillar of white light arrived, Han Li was struck by a burst of sharp pain directly in his soul, and he felt as if many of his memories were about to be extracted.

Thankfully, his enormous spiritual sense was activated on its own, and the disturbance in his soul was quickly quelled.

Even so, he was still quite alarmed by this turn of events, and the heavy water barrier around him immediately converged to form a wall of heavy water in front of him at his behest, shielding him from the white light.

However, the white light was able to easily pass through the wall of heavy water, and it was completely unobstructed.

In this dire situation, Han Li immediately opened his mouth to release his Heavy Water True Axis, which began to rapidly revolve while drastically expanding in size.

A vast expanse of watery light that was interspersed with countless black runes emerged from the axis to form a barrier in front of him, and the Heavy Water True Axis was able to keep the white light at bay.

However, the white light was able to quickly seep through the watery light barrier released by the Heavy Water True Axis, passing through it after just a few seconds.

However, with this brief window of respite, Han Li was able to catch his breath, and he began to chant an incantation.

Bright golden light radiated from his body as his Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind him before releasing a vast expanse of golden ripples that gave off formidable time law fluctuations swept forth in all directions.

Perhaps it was due to the surrounding black cloud, but the golden ripples weren't able to spread any further than 1,000 feet.

In the next instant, the pillar of white light entered the area encompassed within the golden ripples, and it immediately came to an abrupt halt.

However, if one were to look closely, they would discover that the pillar of white light was still approaching Han Li, except it had been slowed down by an extreme degree.

The silver-robed young man's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and he gave a cold harrumph before beginning to chant an incantation while casting several incantation seals at the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain from afar.

All of the countless runes on the surface of the mountain instantly lit up, and the gray light that it was radiating brightened significantly, while countless gray runes surged forth before fusing into the gray area down below.

The gray space was instantly significantly bolstered, thereby further amplifying the restrictive force acting upon Han Li's body.

A series of gray ripples appeared, giving off incredibly formidable law powers to compress against the golden ripples around Han Li, and the two opposing forces clashed together like powerful waves.

The golden ripples shuddered momentarily before shrinking even further, and the pillar of white light was able to draw closer and closer to Han Li again.
