Han Li could see that the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were continuing to devour the lightning law powers within the lightning pond without any adverse side-effects, so he began to focus on himself, closing his eyes to inspect his own internal condition.
It was naturally a good thing that the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were evolving, but his top priority at the moment was to absorb the aura of the lightning pond as soon as possible.
All of a sudden, various true spirit projections appeared around his body once again, and they were far clearer than before, with every single one of them giving off formidable true spirit bloodline auras.
Han Li's body was rapidly swelling and morphing, but with his physical body greatly enhanced, the true spirit bloodlines weren't having anywhere near as potent an effect on him as they were earlier.
Aside from these true spirit projections, arcs of golden lightning had also surfaced over his body, and they began to fuse together, forming a radiant cloak of golden lightning.
In the next instant, Han Li's eyes abruptly sprang open, following which he shot up into the air as a golden shadow.
Just like in the three previous lightning ponds, the golden lightning in the pond immediately set off in pursuit of Han Li, forming a giant golden lightning net that wrapped itself around him.
The net of golden lightning was extremely dense, and it was further bolstered by countless lightning law runes, stopping Han Li cold in his tracks.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, but before he had a chance to do anything, huge streaks of azure sword qi suddenly erupted out of the lightning pond in all directions, slicing through the surrounding space with ease.
The golden lightning net was instantly shredded into countless pieces, and the sword qi seemed to have a mind of its own, making sure to skirt around Han Li to ensure that he remained unharmed.
Fox 3's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he hurriedly shot back in retreat.
He had reacted very quickly, but the eruption of sword qi had been far too abrupt, and a deep gash had still been sliced into his arm, one that was bleeding profusely.
Specks of green light emerged over the gash on his arm, and the injury quickly began to heal, while Fox 3 cast his gaze toward the sword qi in the golden lightning pond with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
The sword qi was extremely formidable, and he was extremely fortunate that he had been standing quite far away to begin with and had reacted very quickly. Otherwise, if he had been swept up in the midst of the sword qi, then the consequences would've been catastrophic.
Right at this moment, Han Li flew out of the sword qi before landing beside the lightning pond, then promptly took a pill.
Bursts of green light emerged over the wounds on his body as well, and the gashes quickly healed within a matter of seconds.
The boundless sword qi within the lightning pond also quickly faded away, while the rifts that they had sliced into the nearby space were sealed again.
Immediately thereafter, the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords came flying out of the lightning pond one after another, and their outward appearance had changed drastically.
All of the swords had become such a bright green color that they were virtually transparent, and they were riddled with golden lightning-shaped patterns, while arcs of thick golden lighting were flashing around them.
In the blink of an eye, all seventy-two flying swords had flown out of the lightning pond, and every single one of them was giving off tremendous sword qi fluctuations that were several times more powerful than before, placing them at least on par with the few graded immortal treasures in Han Li's possession.
The seventy-two Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords circled around Han Li momentarily as a series of golden shadows, then returned to his dantian.
The Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber appeared in Han Li's grasp amid a flash of red light, and he took a deep breath before gripping tightly onto the saber's hilt with both hands, then injected his immortal spiritual power into it in a frenzy.
Fox 3 and the others appeared behind Han Li in an instant, then thrust their palms forward in unison to inject their immortal spiritual power into his body.
Daoist Xie also appeared beside Han Li amid a flash of golden lightning.
The Immortal Origin Stones in Daoist Xie's body had already been replaced with new ones, so its aura had returned to its peak, and it was also injecting two beams of golden light into Han Li's body out of the palms of its hands.
This time, the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber was glowing even more radiantly than on the previous three occasions, and it released countless crimson saber projections that filled half of the entire hall.
A giant crimson fox projection suddenly emerged from the twin fox heads on the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber, then immediately pounced forward and vanished into the blade of the saber, immediately followed by all of the countless surrounding saber projections.
The Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber instantly swelled to several times its original size, and its shape also changed drastically as it transformed into a giant crescent-shaped scimitar.
Furthermore, dozens of crimson eyes had appeared all over the entire saber, giving it a harrowing sight to behold.
The Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber shuddered as an animalistic roar rang out from within it, following which crimson light that was as viscous as blood erupted out of its blade.
As the wielder of the saber, Han Li was struck head-on by an immense wave of baleful qi that caused his ears to ring loudly, while his internal organs were also churning violently.
A sense of feebleness spread through his entire body, almost causing him to lose his grip on the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.
Pained looks appeared on the faces of Fox 3 and the others as well, but they were far less severely impacted than Han Li.
Han Li gritted his teeth as he channeled his Spirit Refinement Technique with all his might to stabilize his spiritual sense, and at the same time, he tightened his grip around the hilt of the saber.
However, right as he was about to swing the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber down onto the golden chain, it suddenly flew out of his grasp, then crashed heavily down onto the golden chain on its own.
The golden chain trembled violently as the runes engraved on its surface lit up with blinding golden radiance.
The entire golden lightning pond erupted into a frenzy, and waves of golden light that were thousands of feet tall rose up from its surface before threatening to spread in all directions, but ultimately, they seemed to be restricted by some type of invisible force, confining them to the lightning pond down below.
Countless arcs of golden lightning were intertwining incessantly within the golden light, presenting an awe-inspiring sight to behold.
The Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber sliced into the golden chain with great difficulty, but it only managed to slice halfway into the chain before stopping cold in its tracks, unable to advance even an inch further.
A burst of fearsome shockwaves erupted from the point where the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber and the golden chain were connected, and Han Li and the others were instantly sent flying before crashing heavily into a wall.
Right at this moment, a resounding boom rang out, and the entire hall swayed violently as if it had been dealt some type of heavy blow.
