At that moment, Reverend Reflecting Bone's little man waved his sleeves. Specks of white light floated out of his sea of consciousness and surrounded him like countless fireflies.
Beneath the specks of light, a huge rune formation engraved in the depths of his sea of consciousness was revealed.
Reverend Reflecting Bone did not expect that this formation, which he had paid an unimaginable price to engrave in his sea of consciousness, would come in handy at a time like this.
The current situation did not allow him to have any other thoughts.
Beneath the rune formation, the white light grew brighter and brighter. A huge shadow of a strange beast that looked like a ferocious tiger was formed. The beast opened its mouth and pounced out of the sea of consciousness, heading straight for the Divine Will Sword.
"Boom!" A loud sound exploded in Reverend Reflecting Bone's sea of consciousness.
The Divine Will Sword landed on the head of the strange white beast, and dazzling five-colored light burst out. After a moment of stalemate, the strange white beast's head was torn apart.
The Giant Sword of Divine Will slashed downwards towards the Divine Soul Miniature Man.
However, although the strange white beast was torn apart, the white light that flowed out of its body turned into crystal threads that connected the two halves of its body together.
The crystal threads formed by the white light were like iron chains that crossed the river, constantly blocking the descent of the Spiritual Will Sword. At the same time, they also consumed the powerful power of the Spiritual Will Sword.
Even so, the translucent Divine Will Sword, which was condensed with almost all of Han Li's Divine Will power, continued to slash down without any obstruction. It tore the strange white beast apart and landed on Reverend Reflecting Bone's little man's soul.
"Ah!!!" A shrill scream was heard.
Reverend Reflecting Bone felt like his head was about to explode. He held his head with both hands, and his body trembled violently. He fell straight down to the sea below.
The Dry Bones Spiritual Domain that he created also disappeared with a flash of light.
Han Li and Reverend Reflecting Bone felt their bodies relax. The strange feeling on their bones disappeared, and they regained their freedom.
At the same time, Han Li felt an emptiness in his sea of consciousness. His vision suddenly darkened, and his body could no longer support itself, falling down.
Shi Chuankong pressed a hand to his right side upon seeing this, and he endured the pain as he rushed over to Han Li. He grabbed onto Han Li's arm and propped him up, then cast a forlorn glance down at the vast expanse of the ocean down below before flying away in a flash of white light.
Meanwhile, Daoist Xie abruptly slapped his gourd to withdraw all of his Dao Soldiers, as well as Han Li's 18 Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, and he also flew toward the two of them.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
A jet-black flying shuttle flew swiftly above a pitch-black sea. Shi Chuankong had already recovered his original appearance, and he stood at the bow of the ship with his silver hair fluttering in the wind, causing him to seem heroic and exuberant.
At the stern of the flying shuttle, Han Li was still unconscious with his eyes tightly shut. A palm-sized piece of Purple Sun Warm Jade was hovering above his head, releasing murky purple light.
There was a spatial barrier around his body that kept out all of the rich devilish Qi in the surrounding area.
At the stern of the ship, Daoist Xie was sitting in a daoist robe with his eyes slightly closed as he meditated.
Right at this moment, he seemed to have sensed something, and he suddenly opened his eyes to discover that Han Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyelashes tremored a few times before he also slowly opened his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Li..." he called out.
A hint of confusion flashed through Han Li's eyes, and he only regained clarity after a short pause.
He rubbed the temples on both sides of his head as he slowly sat up. He raised his hand and took off the Violet Sun Warm Jade that was hanging above his head.
"Brother Li, you're finally awake. How do you feel?" Shi Chuankong turned around and asked.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Han Li asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
Shi Chuankong hesitated momentarily before replying, "About half a month."
"Where's Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone?" Han Li asked.
"I don't know. He seemed to have been severely injured at the time and fell into the sea.
You also fell unconscious, so I had no choice but to bring you safely away. I really couldn't care about anything else, "Shi Chuankong replied with a shake of his head.
"His consciousness has most likely been severely injured after being struck by my Divine Sense Sword, so he won't come looking for us for the time being. However, the closer we get to Yang Ye City, the more unforeseen events there will be, so it's hard to say whether or not someone else will target us," Han Li said as he gently stroked the piece of Purple Sun Warm Jade.
"I was also worried about this. That's why I didn't dare to rush back to Yang Ye City. Instead, I've been wandering around the Mo Sea Region. I was thinking of waiting for you to wake up before making any plans," Shi Chuankong said with a sigh.
"My consciousness has been greatly damaged. Although my consciousness wasn't as badly damaged as Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone, it was still shaken. If you hadn't used the Purple Sun Warm Jade to nourish my consciousness, I'm afraid that I would have been unconscious for a few more days," Han Li nodded and said.
"In that case, we'll wait for you to recover before we set off," Shi Chuankong said after thinking for a moment.
"It's not easy to recover from a shaken consciousness, and it takes a long time to replenish the power of one's consciousness. Waiting for me to recover will only lead to more problems. It's better to return to Yang Ye City as soon as possible," Han Li said with a frown.
"Alright," Shi Chuankong said.
Then, he steered the flying shuttle and flew away.
...
Another half a month passed by in a flash.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong drove the flying shuttle and flew over the pitch-black sea.
They could vaguely see a huge black building that was suspended in the sky at the end of their vision.
"Brother Li, we'll arrive at Yang Ye City soon," Shi Chuankong said with a joyful smile on his face.
Han Li's eyes flickered with purple light as he looked at the black building. He felt that it looked a little strange.
It was an irregular polyhedron that looked like a pitch-black ancient tree with many branches. However, its surface was suffused with the luster of a black crystal. Every protruding branch was long and short, and the cross-sections of the branches were facing different directions.
It was only a few hundred feet tall. There were no traces of artificial carvings on its surface. It seemed to be made by nature. The fluctuation of the law of time was spreading from its surface.
Han Li felt a little dazed as he looked at the strange building. It was as if it was standing in the void in front of him, but he felt that it was very far away from him. It was so far away that it didn't seem to belong to this space.
The purple light in Shi Chuankong's eyes lit up. He was about to take a closer look at the thing. However, Shi Chuankong stopped him.
"This is the supreme divine object of my Sanctuary. Brother Li, don't be rude," Shi Chuankong said with an apologetic look on his face.
"Divine object?
Why does it look like it's abandoned in this sea? "Han Li raised his eyebrows and said.
"Haha, even a Daolord might not be able to shake this thing in the slightest." Shi Chuankong laughed heartily when he heard this.
"What is this thing …"
Halfway through his sentence, Han Li's expression suddenly changed as he cast his gaze toward the distance.
Shi Chuankong was a little slower to notice this. His expression also changed.
After a while, a ray of light flew over from the distant horizon. It stopped a few hundred feet away from them.
A dark green figure appeared in the light. It was Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone!
However, Perfected Person Reflecting Bone's face was extremely pale at the moment. His eyes were sunken, and his gaze was dull. His white hair was messy, and strands of it fell from his temples. He did not look like an immortal at all. He was in a sorry state.
Compared to Han Li and Shi Chuankong's solemn expression, Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone's expression was even more panicked.
His eyes were wide open. He raised a trembling hand and pointed at Han Li. He said incoherently, "Why … Why is it you again?
Impossible, this is impossible … How can you recover so quickly? "
"What is he talking about?" Shi Chuankong turned to look at Han Li and asked in confusion.
Han Li was also frowning. He had a puzzled look on his face.
"Could it be that his Divine Soul was severely injured when he was attacked by the Sword of Divine Sense last time? Is he delirious now?" Shi Chuankong's expression became serious and he guessed.
Han Li shook his head and refuted Shi Chuankong's conjecture, "That's unlikely. I'm well aware of the might of the spiritual sense sword. Furthermore, Zhao Gu's sea of consciousness is protected by a powerful spell formation. As such, he shouldn't have been injured to such an extent. Something must've happened to him after we left. However, his words are truly incomprehensible."
"It must be an illusion. It must be an illusion. It must be … No, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you!" Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone stared at Han Li. His expression suddenly became ferocious.
His figure flashed and he reached out with his palm. His entire arm instantly extended and turned into a white bone scythe. It flew toward Han Li at high speed.
Although Han Li noticed that something was wrong with Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone's Divine Sense, he did not dare to let his guard down. He expanded his Time Spirit.
Seeing this, Shi Chuankong hurriedly opened his Space Spirit Domain.
Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone flew into their Spirit Domains. His movement was immediately hindered, and his speed dropped rapidly.
He shouted and waved his bone scythe arm in the void. The Spiritual Qi in the two Spirit Domains was instantly crushed by a violent force. The Spiritual Qi in the two Spirit Domains became chaotic, and a corrosive aura began to fill the air.
Within the chaotic space, Daoist Master Shine Bone's speed was once again drastically increased as he charged directly toward Han Li.
Han Li did not dodge. He waved his hand and summoned the 18 Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords. The Wheel of Mantra in his body rotated rapidly, and he took the initiative to meet Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone.
When Han Li approached Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone, he suddenly stopped. A dazzling golden light shone. The Wheel of Mantra spun and released countless rays of golden light. The golden light enveloped Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone.
When Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone saw this, he opened his other hand and blocked the attack. His hand turned into a huge, strange-looking bone shield.
Dense runes were carved on the shield, releasing waves of corrosive power of the Law of Dried Bones. The power blocked all the golden light rays, and the shield began to corrode.
At the same time, Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone moved behind the bone shield and swung his bone scythe. With a strong murderous aura, Enlightened Master Reflecting Bone swung the scythe at Han Li's waist. It looked like he was going to cut Han Li in half.
