Chapter 1245: Battle Between Gold Devouring Immortals
After a brief moment of contemplation, Han Li gently stroked a finger over the hole in the wall before pressing it against his own glabella, upon which his eyes instantly lit up.
The residual aura in the hole belonged to none other than Jin Tong.
Sure enough, she had come here after escaping from the Ghost Valley, but it was unclear why she had come here.
Of course, Qu Lin's aura was also present in the hole, indicating that he had gone after her.
Han Li chanted a quick incantation, then flew into the hole like a slithering snake, quickly passing through to the other side.
On the other side of the wall was a palace with a square base that was several thousand feet in size. The entirety of the palace was constructed from Heavenend Gold Rock, including even the ground, and there were extremely formidable metal law power fluctuations sweeping through the area.
The interior of the palace was completely empty, but it was still a majestic sight to behold, given that the entire structure was constructed from Heavenend Gold Rock.
"How extravagant," Han Li remarked.
Right at this moment, Lan Yan's voice rang out in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I just recalled that there's rumored to be a Nine Origins Palace in the Nine Origins Temple. It's said to have been constructed from a gargantuan piece of metal-attribute material by the Nine Origins Dao Ancestor, and this is most likely it!"
"What is the purpose of this Nine Origins Palace?" Han Li asked.
"I don't know the answer to that. All that I know is that it's a sacred place in the Nine Origins Temple. Perhaps it's a cultivation venue. After all, this place is extremely abundant with metal-attribute law powers, and there are many cultivators of metal law powers in the temple. In any case, make sure to be extra careful and vigilant here," Lan Yan cautioned.
Han Li nodded in response, then continued to search for spiritual power traces left behind by Qu Lin with his Infernal Devilish Eyes.
However, the excessive abundance of metal-attribute law powers in this place proved to be very disruptive, and only after activating his Infernal Devilish Eyes to their full power was he finally able to catch a glimpse of a trail that led to the very back of the palace, where there was a side door.
Han Li opened the door to discover a garden outside, and the ground here was also Heavenend Gold Rock, but the pots in the garden were filled with all types of spirit soil, planted within which were many types of exotic spirit plants, most of which were of the metal attribute.
Han Li paid no heed to the spirit plants in the garden as he continued to follow the trail of spiritual power.
This was an enormous area, but there were many things here that acted as visual hindrances, and spiritual sense was also severely restricted, making it rather difficult to get a good sense of one's surroundings.
Han Li passed through two gardens and several palaces in succession, but there was still no end in sight, nor had he found any traces of Jin Tong.
Stumbling blindly through this place was very likely to lead to danger, and he was beginning to grow a little concerned.
After passing through yet another palace, Han Li finally spotted something, and his eyes lit up as he forged ahead with renewed vigor.@@@@
He could sense two auras clashing violently upon ahead amid a thunderous commotion, clearly indicating that a fierce battle was taking place, and the two auras belonged to none other than Jin Tong and Qu Lin.
Enshrouded within the time spirit domain, the speed of descent of the pair of giant swords was instantly slowed down to a crawl.
Immediately thereafter, a mountainous, golden hand with countless golden runes flashing over its surface appeared out of thin air before grabbing onto the two swords.
Qu Lin's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he immediately attempted to make a string of hand seals, but his movements had also become extremely slow and sluggish.
The golden hand closed its fingers around the pair of giant swords with immense power, and a burst of tremendous spiritual pressure erupted out of it as the two golden swords were crushed into pieces with a resounding thump.
Immediately thereafter, Han Li appeared directly above Jin Tong, and an ecstatic look appeared on her face as she exclaimed, "Uncle!"
"What?! How did you manage to escape from Gui Lingzi?!" Qu Lin exclaimed in an incredulous manner.
A furious look flashed through Han Li's eyes at the mention of Gui Lingzi, and he abruptly vanished from the spot in a flash.
Qu Lin took a resentful glance at Jin Tong, then shrank down drastically before speeding away as a streak of golden light, fleeing the scene without any hesitation.
It was quite apparent that Jin Tong and Han Li were allies, and there was no way that he could hope to hold his own against both of them.
However, he wasn't able to get very far before Han Li appeared directly in his path in a wraith-like manner, displaying far superior speed to him.
An alarmed look appeared on Qu Lin's face as he lashed out with his two front legs with a fierce roar.
In response, Han Li vanished from the spot once again, only to reappear beside Qu Lin an instant later before throwing an almighty right punch into his side.
A resounding boom rang out as Qu Lin was sent flying back through the air long before his front legs were able to reach Han Li.
His movements were drastically slowed by Han Li's time law powers, while Han Li's speed was being enhanced by his Reversal True Axis ability, so there was simply no comparison against the two.
Under Patriarch Miro's advice, he had been cultivating his Reversal True Axis ability whenever he had some spare time, and he was now able to enhance his own speed by close to thirtyfold. In conjunction with his time spirit domain, he could dominate all enemies when it came to speed.
His punch had left a deep fist indentation in Qu Lin's side, but his golden exoskeleton hadn't been broken.
However, Han Li remained undeterred as he vanished from the spot once again, then reappeared beside Qu Lin before sending him flying back the same way he had come from with another punch.
All of a sudden, it was as if there were over a hundred Han Lis whizzing back and forth in his spirit domain, raining down heavy blows upon Qu Lin without respite.
Qu Lin was sent flying through the air over and over again without being able to put up any resistance, and a stunned look had appeared on his face, while blood was already trickling down from the corner of his mouth.
Even the body of a Gold Devouring Immortal had its limits, and Han Li's punches were incredibly heavy, so if things were to continue like this, then something was sure to give.
