Chapter 665: Pleasant Surprise

All of the color was drained from Ren Hao's face at the sight of Han Li's astonishing display of power, and he hurriedly fled the scene as a blue shadow.

At the same time, he swept a sleeve through the air to release seven or eight glowing immortal treasures, filling the entire hall before hurtling toward the devilish deity from all directions, ensuring that there was no way for Han Li could get to him through the immortal treasures.

However, Han Li was completely unconcerned as he swept an arm through the air, releasing a vast expanse of green light that swept up all of the immortal treasure.

The spiritual light emanating from the immortal treasures instantly faded, and all that remained were the immortal treasures themselves, suspended in mid-air within the green light like fish caught in a net.

With another sweep of Han Li's arm, all of the immortal treasures vanished along with the green light, and all of this had taken place in an instant.

An incredulous look appeared on Ren Hao's face upon seeing this.

After stowing the immortal treasures away, Han Li took a step forward, instantly vanishing from the spot.

In the next instant, he appeared right in Ren Hao's path, blocking his path of escape as he swung down his giant azure sword.

Enshrouded within the time spirit domain, Ren Hao was far slower than Han Li, and there was no way for him to escape.

"Curse you!" Ren Hao roared in a desperate voice as a hint of despair surfaced in his eyes, and he lashed out with his giant blue sword.

The two swords clashed, and the azure sword was able to slice its counterpart into two with ease, then continued onward without pause to strike Ren Hao with immense power.

Ren Hao's eyes opened up wide as he opened his mouth to release a burst of blood essence into his suit of armor, and at the same time, he injected all of the immortal spiritual power in his body into his armor as well.

The suit of armor instantly began to glow radiantly, and a blue film of light similar to Han Li's True Extreme Film emerged to oppose the azure sword.

However, the giant azure sword possessed unmatched power, and it was able to quickly slice through the blue membrane of light before striking the suit of armor, where it drew to a halt for a split second before slicing into the armor as well.

"No! You're going to regret this!" Ren Hao howled in a despairing voice as his body exploded into countless scraps of flesh and blood.

The tremendous sword qi of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had infiltrated his body and detonated it from the inside.

On top of that, his nascent soul had also been completely destroyed by the sword qi, while the suit of blue armor had exploded into countless pieces as well.

Han Li made a beckoning motion with one hand, plucking out a shimmering blue storage ring from Ren Hao's remains, then reverted back to his human form in the blink of an eye, while the giant azure sword also split back up into nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords before vanishing into his body.

A hint of wariness emerged in Feng Lin's eyes as she gazed upon Han Li, but Han Li didn't even bother to look at her as he turned his gaze to the body of the large-headed child instead.

He didn't have to expend much of his energy in killing Ren Hao, but senseless battle was still something that he wanted to avoid, so he had no intention of fighting over the flute with Feng Lin, and his attention was instead turned to the body floating in the pond.

"I'm planning to keep going down this path. Would you like to accompany me, Fellow Daoist Feng?" Han Li asked as he cast his gaze toward the area beyond the pagoda, which was enshrouded in mist.

"I'll pass. I'm planning to return the same way I came and go down one of the other paths," Feng Lin replied.

After witnessing Han Li's powers, she had become very apprehensive of him, so she naturally didn't dare to accompany him any longer.

Of course, this was precisely the response that Han Li wanted, so he made no effort to keep her.

"In that case, this is where we part ways. Take care, Fellow Daoist Feng."

Following Feng Lin's departure, Han Li directed his spiritual sense deep into his own consciousness to conduct a close inspection.

At this moment, all was calm and tranquil in his consciousness, but there was a ball of blue light hovering within it.

As soon as Han Li's spiritual sense made contact with the ball of blue light, it immediately transformed into a screen of blue light that was rippling incessantly, and there was a passage of text consisting of thousands of golden characters on the screen.

Han Li discovered that this was the full nine-part cultivation art of the Water Divination Time Arts, two more than what he had received from the Vast Flow Palace.

Enclosed after the cultivation art were some of the insights that the large-headed child had gleaned while cultivating the Water Divination Time Arts, and that by itself was over three thousand characters in length.

After Han Li memorized everything, the screen of blue light faded away along with the golden characters inscribed upon it.

Han Li slowly opened his eyes as a hint of elation flashed through them, but given his current circumstances, this was naturally not the right time to be studying the cultivation art.

With that in mind, he continued to make his way deeper down the path.

Beyond the pagoda was a sparse forest that was also filled with the same mist that impeded both visibility and spiritual sense, so Han Li had no choice but to progress slowly through the area.

Thankfully, the trip proved to be quite uneventful, and all Han Li encountered along the way were some bodies belonging to True Mantra Sect and Heavenly Court cultivators.

After traveling for around six hours, the surrounding vegetation became even sparser, but the mist up ahead had become even denser.

Upon emerging from the forest, Han Li discovered that there was a giant lotus pond that was over ten thousand feet in radius up ahead, and the water in the pond resembled rippling green jade.

White mist was surging incessantly over the pond, and there were numerous pink and white lotus flowers littered over its surface, presenting a breathtaking sight to behold.

Unfortunately, Han Li was in no mood for sightseeing, and he was just about to pass over the pond when he suddenly spotted something and drew to a halt.

Interesting... No wonder the world's origin qi is so abundant here.
