Chapter 663: Joining Forces

Han Li began to chant an incantation while sweeping a sleeve through the air, and the three giant azure swords hurtled directly toward the humanoid fish creature with golden lightning crackling all around them.

In the face of all of the oncoming attacks, a fierce look appeared on the creature's face as it swept its staff through the air, unleashing countless blue staff projections around itself, forming a light barrier to withstand the assault.

It was unclear whether Han Li's trio was actually going all out, but in the face of these relentless waves of attacks, even the average early-High Zenith cultivator would've already been overwhelmed.

A string of earth-shattering explosions rang out, and the barrier of staff projections was rapidly whittled down before collapsing completely.

The staff in the humanoid fish creature's hand was also shattered, but in the next instant, an antiquated blue fishing rod appeared in its grasp, with an extremely thin and fragile-looking blue line attached to it.

The creature swung the rod through the air, and the line immediately began to spin rapidly around it, conjuring up waves of blue light in its wake.

The space around the creature began to warp, forming a series of rapidly revolving blue vortexes, and the three Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords came crashing down upon the vortexes to release a vast eruption of golden lightning, but the lightning was instantly devoured upon contact.

As for the vortexes, they merely shuddered slightly before returning to a stable state.

Han Li felt as if his three swords had struck a vast sea, and the tremendous power that they possessed was completely devoured by the boundless seawater, thereby completely nullifying them.

Almost at the exact same time, the giant blue sword summoned by Ren Hao also struck the blue vortexes with tremendous force, only to also be completely nullified.

Meanwhile, the pillar of black light that had erupted out of the black gate had also been withstood by the blue vortexes, but Feng Lin seemed to have already anticipated that this would happen, and she quickly made a hand seal, upon which a series of silver spirit patterns appeared on the giant black gate.

Immediately thereafter, countless silver runes erupted out of the gate before fusing into the pillar of black light, causing it to turn semi-transparent.

A dull thump rang out, and with some difficulty, the pillar of black light was able to pierce through the blue vortexes before inundating the humanoid fish creature.

A pained look immediately appeared on the creature's face, and its movements also appeared to have been severely inhibited.

Feng Lin made another hand seal, and a giant figure with devilish qi swirling around its body abruptly sprang out of the pillar of black light.

The devilish creature was around a hundred feet tall and extremely menacing in appearance, with a pair of curved horns protruding out of its head of crimson hair. Its hands and feet were covered in scales, and it was holding a black steel trident.

Furthermore, it was giving off an incredibly fearsome aura that instantly filled the entire hall, and even Ren Hao and Han Li couldn't help but shudder slightly at the sound of its sinister cackling.

All of a sudden, Mo Guang's alarmed voice rang out in his mind.

"This is one of the thirteen devilish kings among our Extrarealm Heavenly Devil Race, the Vyasa King! Be on your guard, Fellow Daoist Han. The Vyasa King is different from normal Extrarealm Heavenly Devils as it doesn't specialize in using inner demons and illusions to harm others. Instead, it can directly harm the soul of its target, thereby making it very difficult to deal with."

Han Li's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

Right at this moment, Feng Lin let loose a loud cry, and a burst of radiant black light erupted out of the trident in the Vyasa King's hands as it was thrust into the humanoid fish creature's body.

A dull thump rang out as the creature exploded into a cloud of blue mist, and an elated look appeared in Feng Lin's eyes as a burst of black qi erupted out of the pillar of black light, then reached out for the pair of treasures in the pond like a giant black hand.

An urgent look appeared in Ren Hao's eyes upon seeing this, but with the blue vortexes standing in his way, all he could do was watch.

In contrast, Han Li merely looked on without doing anything.

Right as the pair of treasures was about to be swept up by the burst of black qi, the cloud of blue mist suddenly converged to reform the humanoid fish creature, and it appeared to be completely unharmed.

As soon as it reappeared, the creature swung its fishing rod through the air, and the burst of black qi instantly exploded.

"Impossible!" Feng Lin exclaimed in an incredulous voice.

This Vyasa Gate was her bonded immortal treasure, and it had taken her an immeasurable amount of time and effort to refine it in accordance with an ancient tool refinement manual that she had obtained from a set of ruins in the Devil Realm.

For this immortal treasure, she had spent virtually all of her savings, but given the treasure's immense power, it was a decision that she didn't regret.

Just that pillar of Vyasa Devilish Light alone would've been enough to harm the soul of a cultivator of same cultivation base as herself, and the Vyasa King projection could stand toe to toe against even a High Zenith cultivator, yet somehow, the humanoid fish creature was completely unscathed after being struck by both!

Right at this moment, the creature swung its arm through the air again, and the blueeee fishing line swept through the air before intertwining to form a blue net, which encompassed the Vyasa Gate.

Feng Lin's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and she hurriedly made a rapid string of hand seals.

The Vyasa Gate began to glow with radiant black light as it trembled violently in an attempt to free itself from the net, but the net only continued to constrict tighter while pulling the Vasya Gate quickly toward the pond like a floundering fish.

At the same time, two more blue lines shot out of the fishing rod, springing toward Han Li's three Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and Ren Hao's blue sword.

Having witnessed the power of the fishing line, Han Li immediately sprang into action, and the three Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords darted back in retreat amid a flash of golden lightning to evade the fishing lines.

Ren Hao also hurriedly summoned his blue sword back to himself, and the two of them exchanged an astonished glance with one another.

The fact that the humanoid fish creature was able to gain the upper hand while facing all three of them at once was nothing short of extraordinary.

A contemplative look appeared in Han Li's eyes as he considered whether eh should use his time law powers. Otherwise, defeating this creature seemed next to impossible.

Right at this moment, a resounding boom rang out from Feng Lin's direction, and a wave of black light erupted out of her body, then expanded rapidly in all directions to form a black spirit domain that instantly encompassed the entire hall.

Countless black devilish shadows were flashing within the spirit domain, letting loose harrowing howls of agony.

As soon as the black spirit domain emerged, it seemed to resonate with the Vyasa Gate, and the black light radiating from the latter brightened significantly, while the pair of devilish deities engraved upon it also seemed to have sprung to life, letting loose a collective thunderous roar.

An incredibly violent burst of power erupted out of the Vyasa Gate, causing the nearby space to tremble violently, and the gate shuddered to a halt.

Enshrouded within the black spirit domain, the blue vortexes around the humanoid fish creature dimmed significantly, and Ren Hao's eyes immediately lit up upon seeing this as he made a hand seal.

Bright blue light erupted out of his body, then spread outward to form another spirit domain.

Countless blue waves were churning and rumbling incessantly within the spirit domain, and the blue vortexes around the humanoid fish creature dimmed even further.

"Fellow Daoist Li!" Ren Hao yelled as he turned to Han Li, and it was clear what he wanted.

Han Li was rather hesitant to oblige, but in the end, he chose to comply, unleashing his own time spirit domain.

Both Ren Hao and Feng Lin were astonished upon sensing the time law power fluctuations within Han Li's spirit domain.

All of the laws of the Great Dao contained the profound secrets of the world, so mastering any single one of them was exceedingly difficult, and this was especially the case for the three paramount laws, one of which was the laws of time.

Han Li was but a Golden Immortal just like them, yet not only was he cultivating the laws of time, it was clear from his spirit domain that he had reached quite a high level of mastery in the laws of time, so how could they not be astonished?

Encompassed within Han Li's time spirit domain, the humanoid fish creature was rooted to the spot, and at this point, the blue vortexes around it could barely even be seen at all.

Right at this moment, a fierce look appeared in Han Li's eyes, and nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out of his sleeve in rapid succession, then collectively swelled drastically in size.

In the next instant, all nine swords came crashing down upon the blue vortexes at his behest.

Ren Hao immediately snapped back to his senses, letting loose a thunderous roar as the giant blue sword beside him shot forth through the air.

At the same time, he began to chant an incantation, and all of the blue wave projections within his spirit domain surged into the blue sword.

As a result, the blue light radiating from the sword brightened even further, and it abruptly vanished into thin air, only to reappear above the blue vortexes just an instant later. At this point, it had already swelled to several thousand feet in size, and it came crashing down right behind Han Li's nine swords.

Even though Feng Lin's bonded immortal treasure was still trapped, she also gritted her teeth and swept a sleeve through the air to release a fist-zied black seal with a black tiger projection around it.

She then began to chant an incantation as she thrust a palm toward the black seal, and a thunderous tiger's roar instantly rang out as the black tiger projection opened its mouth up wide, causing all of the black shadows within her spirit domain to surge into the black seal.

As a result, the seal swelled rapidly in size, reaching the size of a house in the blink of an eye, and it was radiating dazzling black light as it came crashing down upon the blue vortexes.
