Han Li felt the changes in the world when the image of the Thunder Kui dissipated, and the boundless might that came from the Gate of Heaven, causing him to be extremely shocked.
After an unknown period of time, he recovered from the shock and muttered to himself,
"This eye … is actually a relic of the Dao Ancestor!"
After withdrawing the Eye of Truth and withdrawing the Wheel of Truth into his body, Han Li's emotions were still unable to calm down.
Until now, he had never heard of the existence of the Lightning Dao Ancestor in the world, and this Thunder Kui beast was probably the previous Lightning Dao Ancestor. It was just that it was born with a lightning body, and could freely move about in the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. However, as it became compatible with the lightning in the world, its final destination was devoured by the Heaven's Way, and it became a part of the world.
This eye of lightning was the last remnant that was forcefully left in the True Immortal World before it was devoured by the Heaven's Way.
Han Li once again circulated the Spirit Refinement Art with all his strength. After careful inspection, he discovered that the power contained within the eye of lightning was even more terrifying than he had expected. However, it had already become pure lightning energy, and there was no longer any Thunder Kui's will within it.
However, after a moment of thought, Han Li felt relieved.
If there was any will left in this giant eye, then it would have probably started cultivating again and made a comeback. Why would it stay in this sea day after day? Moreover, how could there be any will left under the devouring of the Heaven's Way?
He stared at the giant orange eye for a moment, and then he suddenly snapped his fingers.
A layer of golden light quickly spread out from his surroundings, enveloping the entire sea of lightning.
At the same time, the Great Five Elements Illusory Technique within Han Li's body circulated, and the Wheel of Truth and other manifestations of the Laws of Time appeared one after another. They transformed into mountains, rivers, moons, and stars that surrounded the entire sea of lightning.
As soon as these five Celestial Being Realm spirit domains, which were imbued with the power of the laws of time, they were immediately resisted by the sea of lightning in a frenzy. The orange eyeball "stared" at Han Li, and a resounding boom immediately rang out over the High Heavens Cloud Sea.
The entire Thunderstorm Ocean became unprecedentedly crazy. At this moment, all the lightning pillars fell down without the slightest pause, like a surging waterfall, bombarding Han Li's mountains and rivers.
Han Li turned a blind eye to this. With just a thought, the time in the Void around him seemed to have frozen again. All the falling lightning flashed and stopped in the Void, without the slightest fluctuation or sound.
In this small world, Han Li was the only one who could walk freely.
He gently waved his hand and slowly walked in the void. The 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords floated behind him and slowly moved with him.
Han Li walked around the Kui Lightning Eye, and he would stop for a moment every few steps. With a casual wave of his hand, a Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword flew out and hovered in the space outside the eye.
After walking three hundred and sixty steps, the seventy-two Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had all found their positions and were arranged around the huge eye.
Han Li carefully checked the positions of all the Cloudswarm Swords. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he flipped his hand again, and a pure white, octagonal jade plate appeared in his palm.
This object was none other than the Heavenly Sword Formation's design.
During his years of secluded cultivation, Han Li had not relaxed his research on this formation. As his cultivation continued to grow, he finally solved the mystery of this sword formation jade plate.
He had originally thought that this object should have been created by the founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but later he realized that this object was mysterious and not something that could be created by humans. It should have been a manifestation of the Laws of the Sword, and it should have been a Xuantian object.
This sword formation originally did not have any wind or lightning attributes, but because the flying swords used to set up the formation had different attributes, it could erupt with powerful strength of different attributes. Because it originally contained the Laws of the Sword, it could contain any attribute and be able to exert its power.
At this moment, the sword formation set up by all the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords was a peerlessly powerful 'Great Refinement' formation within the Heaven Piercing Sword Formation. Today, Han Li was going to use the jade disk of the Heaven Piercing Sword Formation to refine the Kui Lightning Eye.
After setting up the formation, Han Li formed a seal with both hands, and then a wave of chanting sounded out from his mouth.
There was a soft buzzing sound!
The octagonal jade plate trembled slightly, and the runes on it moved swiftly like flowing clouds. In an instant, the jade light shone brightly, and a gorgeous light rippled out from it. It transformed into a huge octagonal light disk that hovered above the Kui Lightning Eye.
When he saw this, Han Li's figure leaped up high, and he descended at the center of the octagonal light disk before sitting down cross-legged.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he formed a seal with both hands before him. The octagonal light disk beneath him instantly glowed brightly, and then countless illusory sword images shot out from it. They were like spring rain as they descended onto the enormous eye below.
The 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords instantly emitted waves of trembling sounds as well. All of the swords lit up with dazzling golden light, and then they linked up with each other to condense into an enormous Eight Trigrams Pill Furnace image in the sky, and it enveloped the Kui Lightning Eye within it.
The octagonal light disk formed from the sword formation jade plate was like the lid of a furnace, and it covered the entire scene within the furnace.
"Rumble …"
Along with numerous violent rumbling sounds, the Kui Lightning Eye that had been calm and motionless since the beginning lit up with a golden light, and then the surging lightning in the sea of clouds in the outside world suddenly stopped.
In the next instant, numerous Kui Lightning Eye images condensed from within the eye. Their entire bodies were covered in the purest surging golden lightning in the world, and they charged madly towards the surroundings of the pill furnace image. Their entire bodies were coiled with purple smoke, and it was a magnificent sight.
Rumble, rumble, rumble …
After every Kui Lightning Eye collided with it, a deafening bang resounded, and the entire Thunderstorm Ocean also shook violently.
Han Li sat steadily on the octagonal light disk, and his body also shook violently. There were even traces of numbing electric currents that shot out and struck his body.
However, at this moment, he couldn't be distracted at all. He had to strictly control all the flying swords and the formation diagram. Otherwise, once the Kui Lightning Eye charged out, not only would the entire Eight Trigrams Pill Furnace explode, the entire Thunderstorm Ocean and the two nearby continents would definitely be swept away by unprecedented thunderstorms, and they would be erased from the map of the Northern Frost Celestial Realm.
"Sword defense as offense, great refinement of the Profound Void …" Han Li shouted softly.
The 72 flying swords and the formation diagram displayed their might at the same time. Countless sword qi and sword images surged into the pill furnace, and they began to refine the Kui Lightning Eye like a furnace fire.
…
At the same time, at the edge of the Wasteland Continent.
Thousands of Dust World Creatures crowded at the edge of the continent like a swarm of locusts, looking at the Thunderstorm Ocean across the sea.
Standing in front of these Dust World Creatures were hundreds of Dust World Cultivators. Among them, the leader was a tall man in a black robe. He wore a green rusty armor, and his skin was so pale that it was almost green. He had a serious expression on his face.
"Lord Mo Shi, do you want to go and investigate?"
Standing behind him was a skinny old man who was also wearing a black robe. He asked in a hoarse voice.
"No need. No matter what is in there, it's not something we can deal with. As long as they don't provoke us, don't cause any trouble. Just keep a close watch on them." The tall man called Mo Shi shook his head and said.
"Yes," the thin old man immediately replied.
"Restrain these guys. Don't provoke them. There are still some cities on the Wasteland Continent that haven't been conquered. We need to speed up," Mo Shi ordered.
This time, the Dust World Cultivators, including the thin old man, all responded, "Yes, sir."
…
In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed.
The Thunderstorm Ocean had undergone an earth-shattering change. The originally boundless Thunderstorm Ocean had long disappeared. Now, only a thundercloud area with a circumference of less than a hundred miles was left.
In the thundercloud area, a figure was walking around a three-meter-tall Eight Trigrams Cauldron. He was frowning and looked quite annoyed. This person was naturally Han Li.
"I've clearly finished refining it. Why can't I break it?" Han Li rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
Inside the cauldron, one could see an orange eyeball the size of a longan. It was covered in a layer of golden lightning, and it was constantly emitting crackling sounds.
Around the eyeball were 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that had shrunk to half their original size. They were floating in the air, trembling up and down. There were electric threads connecting them, making them look like a single entity at a glance.
According to Han Li's original plan, he could refine all the power of the Eye of the Thunder Kui into the 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords with the help of the Tongtian Sword Formation and the Great Sword Formation, raising their quality to the level of a Rank 4 Celestial Artifact.
However, for some reason, the Eye of the Thunder Kui could not split even though the refinement had been completed. Naturally, it could not enter the 72 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
"What's the problem?
How can I break it … "Han Li muttered to himself.
At this moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. His eyes revealed a touch of joy. Then, he turned his wrist, and a ray of light flashed in his palm.
When the light landed, there was already an emerald Mysterious Heaven Gourd in his hand.
The Mysterious Heaven Gourd had absorbed the remaining energy of the Laws of the Mysterious Heaven Spiritslayer Sword all those years ago, and it was the Laws of Destruction that were being nurtured within the gourd. Wouldn't it be perfect to use it to help break open the Eye of the Thunder Kui?
When he thought up to here, Han Li still hesitated slightly. Even though the Eye of the Thunder Kui had been refined, it was an artifact left behind by the Dao Ancestor in the end, and the energy of lightning contained within it was extraordinary. The Mysterious Heaven Gourd's quality was insufficient in the end, and it might not be able to endure its might.
"There seems to be no better way besides this. I'll send the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords in as well and help suppress the Eye of the Thunder Kui." Han Li thought of a method that couldn't really be considered as a solution, and he muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate any longer. He formed a seal with his hand and pointed, causing the cauldron to vanish into thin air, causing the Eye of the Thunder Kui and Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords to be exposed in space.
Instantly, the remaining thunderclouds that enveloped an area of 50km instantly surged violently without end while lightning surged within them, and thunder shook the heavens.
When Han Li saw this, he hurriedly raised the Mysterious Heaven Gourd and chanted a few incantations before raising his hand to slap the bottom of the gourd.
The Mysterious Heaven Gourd flashed with light, and then a ball of green mist immediately surged out from the mouth of the gourd. It condensed into a mist vortex that spun violently.
Along with a wave of whistling wind, a powerful tearing force spread out from the vortex.
Han Li held the gourd in one hand, and he used his other hand to guide the Eye of the Thunder Kui and Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords into the green vortex, and then they were absorbed into the Mysterious Heaven Gourd.
As soon as the eyeball and flying swords entered the Mysterious Heaven Gourd, the strange sounds in the thunderclouds in the surroundings instantly weakened.
