Bursts of powerful tearing force swept through the air on either side of Han Li, sweeping up gusts of ferocious wind that lashed against his cheeks.
Being subjected to such immense pressure was far from comfortable, and Han Li reflexively extended his elbows outward to either side, but he was only able to slightly dispel the pressure, while the two millstones continued to close in on him.
It seemed that Han Li was completely powerless to resist, and a pleased smile appeared on Tao Ji's face upon seeing this.
In contrast, Jin Chuan was looking on with an unconvinced expression, clearly under the opinion that this was massive overkill.
"Keep it up, everyone! Destroy this scoundrel's physical body, but make sure to leave his soul behind. I'm going to use it to light a sky lantern to comfort my son's soul in the heavens!" Tao Ji yelled.
The ninety Golden Immortals behind him immediately gave a collective affirmative response.
They were extremely fortunate to have been chosen to be part of this array, and this experience was going to have unfathomable benefits on their future cultivation, not to mention the reward of ten Immortal Origin Stones that each of them was going to receive. On top of that, their target appeared to be a complete pushover, and they could hardly think of a better job to be assigned.
With that in mind, all of them were pouring forth their immortal spiritual power without reservation to power the array.
The runes on the two millstones were glowing radiantly, and the pressure emanating from them was becoming stronger and stronger, causing Han Li's joints to creak and groan audibly, but he still appeared quite calm and composed.
This was a perfect opportunity for him to gauge just how powerful his own physical body had become after his time in the Scalptia Spatial Domain, so he was slowly acclimating himself to the pressure exerted upon him by the millstones without putting up any meaningful resistance.
Of course, he was still putting on an act to humor Tao Ji, feigning an agonized expression, as if he really were struggling to withstand the pressure.
Before long, the two millstones had drawn so close to each other that it seemed like they were in direct contact, and it was no longer possible to see Han Li between them.
"Looks like you were misled, Brother Tao. At this rate, he's going to be crushed in just a moment or two. You should prepare to capture his soul. Otherwise, if they go too far, his soul could be destroyed too," Jin Chuan said with a smile.
"I can't believe Yu'er was killed by such an incompetent scoundrel! He must've been too complacent and underestimated his opponent. It's my fault for being too lenient with him," Tao Ji sighed as he shook his head with a remorseful expression.
"I wouldn't put the blame on Yu'er. The only reason why this scoundrel is completely powerless to retaliate is because we set up this Bipolar Yin Yang Array in advance, so this is not a true reflection of his power," Jin Chuan consoled.
"No matter. Yu'er has finally been avenged no," Tao Ji sighed, and it was as if a heavy load had been lifted from his shoulders.
Right at this moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out from between the two millstones, and the two of them hurriedly peered into the array, upon which they were stunned to discover that a small gap had reappeared between the pair of millstones.
At the same time, Han Li's mocking voice rang out from within the array.
Blinding rainbow light erupted throughout the entire array to inundate Han Li, and bursts of rainbow flames erupted in all directions, causing the array to tremble violently.
All of the Golden Immortals outside the array began swaying unsteadily, and moments later, the flames faded away to reveal Han Li again.
The clothes in front of his chest had been burned away, but he was completely unscathed, and there wasn't even a single scorch mark on his body.
"Impossible!" Jin Chuan exclaimed with an astonished expression.
"His physical body is far more powerful than we imagined! Be on your guard, Brother Jin Chuan," Tao Ji warned with tightly furrowed brows as he summoned his flying sword back to yourself.
"If that's all you've got, then it's my turn!" Han Li declared with a cold smile, then immediately channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, and profound acupoints lit up all over his body as he plunged his fingers straight into the black and white millstones with ease.
Immediately thereafter, he channeled his Giant Mountain Ape bloodline, and his muscles bulged as tufts of golden fur appeared over his body, transforming into a giant golden ape that was around a hundred feet tall in the blink of an eye.
He then tugged violently on the pair of giant millstones, and they were instantly wrenched into his grasp, causing the entire array to tremble violently.
All of the Golden Immortals that were manning the array were immediately struck by backlash, shuddering violently while throwing up large mouthfuls of blood.
"Get back!" Tao Ji hurriedly yelled in a frantic voice, but it was already too late.
As Han Li seized control of the two millstones, a burst of tremendous, compressive force swept through the entire array, trapping all of the Golden Immortals inside.
Immediately thereafter, Han Li hurled both of the millstones at the Golden Immortals, who were unable to take any evasive measures, so they could only frantically summon their protective treasures with horrified looks on their faces as they struggled in futility to save themselves.
Two earth-shattering booms rang out as the pair of giant millstones came crashing down, easily overwhelming the resistance put up by the Golden Immortals, and not a single one of them was able to escape.
All of them had been crushed into mincemeat, and even their nascent souls had been eradicated.
"How dare you!" Jin Chuan roared in a furious voice as he sprang up into the sky before making a hand seal, and a blue spirit domain instantly appeared over the entire col.
"So one of you is cultivating the laws of fire, while the other is cultivating the laws of water. You two certainly complement each other well," Han Li remarked with a smile as dense clouds of steam suddenly began to rise up around him.
He quickly reverted back to his normal human form as he spoke, while Jin Chuan continued to make a string of hand seals, releasing a tremendous aura that caused his robes to flap audibly around him.
