Chapter 1161: Crushing Victory
After releasing those three pillars of golden light, the golden cloud had finally exhausted all of its power, and it quickly dissipated, returning the sky to its original state.
The golden mountain rapidly shrank down before descending out of the sky, but right at this moment, countless white threads emerged out of thin air directly beneath it without any warning, and the mountain was instantly ensnared by the mass of white threads.
As a result, all of its downward momentum was arrested, and it was completely immobilized and suspended in mid-air.
At the same time, a vast expanse of white light appeared above the mountain, then transformed into a gargantuan white claw that came swooping down from above.
The space beneath the claw began to collapse, forming a huge black hole that threatened to devour the golden mountain whole like a gaping mouth.
All of a sudden, the golden mountain began trembling violently, and the rays of light that were as sharp as sword qi shot out of the mountain, hurtling toward the surrounding white threads and the giant, white claw.
The rays of light were incredibly sharp, able to tear through the space in its path with ease, but the white threads were extraordinarily resilient, remaining completely unscathed in the face of the storm of golden light. As for the white claw, the rays of golden light weren't even able to reach it before they were devoured by the black hole beneath the claw.
Right as the golden mountain was about to be caught by the massive, white claw, a burst of radiant, golden light suddenly erupted into the air from the mountain down below, then rapidly elongated to form a fiery, golden dragon that let loose a thunderous, draconic roar.
In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the golden mountain, the golden dragon coiled itself around the mountain, encompassing all of the white threads within its own body.
The white threads began flashing with white light, but the white light was quickly smothered by the golden flames, and all of a sudden, the white threads began extremely frail, burning away just like any normal silken threads would.
Immediately thereafter, the fiery, golden dragon sprang up and crashed violently into the giant, white claw, tearing it apart with ease before causing it to explode violently.
On top of that, nine bursts of fire simultaneously erupted out of the golden dragon's body, and they transformed into nine slightly smaller fiery dragons that pounced in unison onto what appeared to be nothing more than empty space.
A violent explosion of golden light ensued as that patch of space was shattered violently before being inundated by a sea of golden flames, which burned so intensely that the shattered space was beginning to display signs of melting.
A figure stumbled out of thin air before flying away into the distance. It was none other than the white-haired young man, and in the blink of an eye, he was already several dozen kilometers away.
His clothes were in tatters, and half of his body had also been charred black, as had most of his head of white hair, giving him a very sorry appearance.
At the same time, Han Li flew out of the mountain down below, and the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain quickly flew back up his sleeve at his behest.
Back in the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor, the roof of the golden palace where the High Zenith Pills had been held had a very similar pill-tribulation-transcending ability as the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain.
After the palace collapsed, Han Li had taken its roof, which he had then fused into the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain to significantly enhance its power.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?" the white-haired young man roared in a furious voice as bright, white light erupted out of his body, and a white "王" character appeared on his forehead. [1]
The burns on his body began to rapidly heal, while bright, scythe-like claws emerged from his fingertips, and a pair of large, white wings appeared on his back, while his aura swelled drastically.
The white-haired young man's resentful voice rang out in the distance, while Han Li looked on with a calm expression, making no effort to set off in pursuit as he knew that the white boat was far too fast for him to catch.
Defeating a Great Encompassment cultivator so easily should've been a source of great pride for any peak-High Zenith cultivator, yet Han Li displayed no reaction as he drew the Eon Divine Lamp back into his grasp.
Even though the white-haired young man was a Great Encompassment cultivator, his cultivation base was rather unstable, indicating that he had only recently reached the Great Encompassment Stage. On top of that, he had made a fatal error of voluntarily getting close to Han Li, thereby sealing his own defeat.
Right at this moment, a black cloud that was filled with all types of demon beasts appeared in the distance. It seemed that they were all allies of the white-haired young man, and the black cloud was racing toward Han Li with unstoppable might.
However, as soon as all of the demon beasts in the black cloud witnessed what had just become of the white-haired young man, the black cloud instantly stopped in its tracks, following which it veered away sharply, fleeing the scene in the same direction as the white-haired young man.
Han Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, but made no attempt to pursue the black cloud, either.
Even though he was able to defeat the white-haired young man using the Eon Divine Lamp, unleashing the lamp's power had expended most of his immortal spiritual power, so he was naturally unwilling to involve himself in any further conflicts.
After taking a pill to aid in his immortal spiritual power recovery, he set off in pursuit of the convoy belonging to the Silver Horn Rhinoceros Tribe and the Cloud Spot Tiger Tribe.
With the Essence Fire Raven still in the convoy, Han Li didn't have to worry about not being able to track it down.
It only took Han Li close to a month to catch up to the convoy, and he snuck back into his cabin on the flying boat without attracting any attention.
The Essence Fire Raven informed him that the convoy hadn't encountered any major peril during his absence, to which Han Li nodded in response before re-entering the Flower Branch domain.
After that, he put on his Reincarnation Palace palace and began attempting to contact Ape 3.
Shortly thereafter, a projection of Ape 3 appeared before him amid a flash of red light.
"Why have you contacted me so urgently, Fellow Daoist Dragon 5?" Ape 3 asked in a rather cold voice, but there was a clear glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Han Li offered no response as he flipped a hand over to produce a jade box, within which were five longan-sized golden pills.
Waves of rippling golden light were surging out of the pills before proliferating outward in all directions, and each pill had three golden dao patterns on their surface, all of which were giving off incredibly profound time law power fluctuations.
"Are those the dao pills I asked for?" Ape 3 exclaimed as his eyes lit up.
Once again, Han Li offered no response, letting the dao pills do the talking for him.
In order to refine these five dao pills, he had pulled out all the stops, testing his own pill refinement expertise to its limits while also using all of the auxiliary abilities at his disposal.
1. 王 translates directly to king in Chinese, and in China, it's often said that the patterns on a tiger's forehead are rather similar in appearance to the 王 character. ☜
