Just as Han Li activated the small white shield to support a white light curtain, the purple-black long stick in the Thunder God Puppet's hand had already smashed down with great momentum!
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!
The white light curtain trembled violently, and a large amount of white lightning poured out from the long stick, roaring incessantly.
Countless electric lights ejected from it and hit the ground around, splashing a large number of sparks.
After a few seconds, the electric lights began to weaken, but the light curtain on the surface of the small shield was also exhausted, almost shrinking to the size of the body, unable to cover Han Li's body.
Right at this moment, the Lightning God Puppet suddenly swung its staff through the air, keeping the small white shield at bay. It then strode forward and raised its leg to deliver a heavy kick to Han Li's body.
Han Li only felt as if his whole body had been hit by a mountain, and a great force hit him. His internal organs were in turmoil, and his body rolled out, directly smashing the broken stone arch bridge, hitting the wall of the pool, and sinking deeply.
But then, he slammed his hands on the wall, and his body burst out. In front of him, he saw the Thunder God Puppet had already flapped its wings and rushed towards him.
Just as the two were about to collide, the profound apertures on Han Li's feet shined brightly and he stomped down on the air. His body abruptly rose several feet into the air, passing over the Lightning God Puppet's head before stomping down heavily.
"Boom …"
At the same time, there seemed to be a thunderclap on Han Li's body!
White light shone from the Profound Aperture all over his body, and a majestic white light wave appeared on his body, rolling towards the Thunder God Puppet below. The power was even stronger than when he fought against Gu Qian Xun.
The other two halberd wielding strongmen just wanted to approach, but they were swept by the white light wave and directly collapsed.
The Thunder God Puppet's physique was extraordinary, and under the strong pressure of this power, even its head did not bow even a bit. But its wings seemed to be inferior to other parts of its body, and under the impact of the white light wave, inch by inch, it was torn.
Han Li stomped down heavily onto the Lightning God Puppet's shoulder with the weight of Mount Tai. The puppet was immediately forced to hunch over, and a massive fissure also appeared on the ground beneath it.
After succeeding, Han Li did not stop at all. The Devil Prison Suppression Art was running crazily in his body, and the dense Profound Aperture on his arms lit up at the same time. Both palms were covered with a layer of hazy starlight, and he heavily hit the head of the Thunder God Puppet.
There was a loud "Bang" sound.
A vast expanse of white starlight exploded, and the Thunder God Puppet's monkey-like head instantly deflated, completely deformed. Its entire body loosened, and its eyes lost their luster and dimmed.
Han Li heaved a faint sigh of relief upon seeing this. He leaped down from his shoulder and cast his gaze toward Shi Chuankong.
Out of the two halberd wielding strongmen who had fought with him before, only one was left. It was chased by Shi Chuankong until it was near the entrance of the divine hall, and it was no longer a threat.
Han Li withdrew his gaze, and looked at the statue of a woman on the stone platform. He muttered to himself, "At least there is a statue that is obedient …"
His gaze fell on the blood-red key in the woman's statue's hand. After a little hesitation, he still jumped toward the stone platform.
However, before his figure could get close to the stone platform, a layer of white light suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, and the woman's statue was isolated.
Han Li's figure immediately stopped, and he landed from mid-air. He carefully looked around, and saw that around the stone platform, there was a white light beam of restriction around the statue of the woman.
"Hey, this is a little bit interesting …" After a moment, the corner of Han Li's mouth suddenly hooked up, and he said with a smile.
At this time, there was a sudden "boom" behind him, and the last halberd wielding strongman was also defeated by Shi Chuankong.
Shi Chuankong let out a long breath of turbid air, and slowly walked toward Han Li. He conveniently picked up the white machete that Han Li had dropped before, and the purplish black long stick.
"What's wrong, Brother Li? Did you find anything?" Shi Chuankong walked up and asked.
"Look at the formation pattern below this restriction, do you feel a little familiar?" Han Li said without turning back.
Shi Chuankong looked at it, and saw that there were star patterns distributed under the light beam. They were very dense and complicated, but some areas in the middle looked a little familiar.
"This seems to be the Flying Star Rune …" Shi Chuankong hesitated.
"Yes, these formation patterns seem complicated, but I can still see the traces of the Flying Star Rune in some subtle areas." Han Li nodded and said.
"So, you can break this formation?" Shi Chuankong raised his eyebrows, and said happily.
"I'm not 100% sure, but there's no harm in giving it a try." Han Li smiled.
After saying that, he took out the Star Wave Brush that he had left behind when he inscribed the rune for the Star Falcon flying boat, and began to draw on the outside of the formation.
His speed was not fast, and he had to stop to check after drawing. It took him more than half an hour to finish the whole formation.
"Done?" Shi Chuankong saw that and asked.
Han Li did not answer. Instead, he put away the Star Wave Brush, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth slightly, and began to murmur.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and he operated the Star Force in his body. He bent his finger forward, and a white light flew out from his fingertip, and hit the star pattern formation on the ground.
Then, white light shone on the formation, and a loud buzzing sound was heard, and it began to operate.
White light flew out from it, and sank into the white light pillar on the stone platform bit by bit. The light in the light pillar immediately melted and dissipated like snow suddenly meeting the blazing sun.
The corner of Han Li's mouth curved into a smile, and he walked forward to take the blood-red key from the female statue.
To his surprise, the key was a little warm to the touch, as if it had just been taken from someone else's hand. Apart from that, there was nothing special about it.
"After going through so much trouble, there's only this key here, and I don't know what it's used for." Shi Chuankong saw this, and he could not help but smile bitterly.
"Looking at how tightly guarded this key is, it most likely has some history. I just don't know if it has anything to do with the sacred remains you spoke of." Han Li said and handed the key over to Shi Chuankong.
"Apart from the special feeling, I really can't see anything else. It's better to leave it with you first, it's safer." Shi Chuankong took the key in his hand, looked at it a few times, and returned it to Han Li.
Han Li did not say much, and put the key in his arms, and then he was stunned.
"Thump, thump, thump."
He only felt a burst of powerful heartbeats coming from his body, and the blood-red key seemed to sense something. Its surface was suffused with a trace of blood-red light, and it also seemed to be beating gently like a heart.
Along with this beat, a stream of hot air from the blood-red key seeped into his body.
As the hot air entered his body, Han Li's whole body felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and his whole body felt comfortable. All the pores on his body opened, and the blood in his body flowed much faster than before.
Not only that, the Mysterious Aperture on his body that was about to move slightly trembled, and faintly opened a little.
"Fellow Li, are you okay?" Shi Chuankong saw that Han Li's expression was strange, and immediately asked.
"It's nothing …" Han Li shook his head, and was about to say something.
At this moment, the whole building suddenly shook violently, and it became more and more violent, and there was a loud rumbling sound, as if there was an earthquake.
"What's going on!" Han Li and Shi Chuankong were shocked.
The shaking of the ground became more and more intense, and cracks appeared on the walls, and they quickly became bigger. Then, with a loud bang, the walls collapsed, and countless large and small gravel smashed towards the two.
"This place is going to collapse, let's go!" Han Li grabbed Shi Chuankong.
In the next moment, all the Mysterious Apertures on his body lit up, especially the Mysterious Apertures on his legs, which were even more dazzling, and they resonated with the many Star Apertures on his Starmoon Boots.
Han Li's feet stepped on the ground, and without saying anything, he pulled Shi Chuankong and soared into the sky.
The moment he soared into the sky, his eyes suddenly looked towards the cracked ground.
Through the huge cracks on the ground, there were faint traces of blue light coming out from the depths of the ground, as if there was something underground.
However, Han Li quickly retracted his gaze, and at this moment, it was not the time to delve into what was happening underground. Both his feet stepped on the void, and his figure nimbly changed his position, trying his best to avoid the falling stones.
Even though Shi Chuankong was being pulled by Han Li, he didn't stay idle. He waved the purplish-black long rod in his hand, and the rod's shadow interweaved into a stretch of rod shadows, and either flicked or smashed the stones falling from above their heads.
On the surface of the ground, with the black altar as the center, the ground within a radius of more than ten miles shook and rumbled, and huge crisscrossing cracks appeared. Then, after a loud sound, the ground collapsed with a loud bang, and formed a huge pit.
At the instant when the ground collapsed, a "boom" sound was heard, and two figures shot out from it. They made a turn in the air, and landed on a nearby building that hadn't been affected by the collapse.
Both of them were covered in dust, and they looked to be in a rather sorry state.
However, they didn't care about their appearance, and looked at the huge pit in front of them, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Why did the ground suddenly collapse?" Shi Chuankong said with a frown.
Han Li looked at the deep pit in front of him, and his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.
In his mind, the blue light that he had previously seen underground appeared, but he didn't know what it was.
"Fellow Li, could it be that you have some clues?" Shi Chuankong looked over, and asked.
"The abnormality of the ground here is probably related to the blood-red key that we took away. Otherwise, the timing would be too coincidental," Han Li said as he touched the blood-red key on his chest.
"If that's really the case, this blood-red key probably has a great origin," Shi Chuankong was startled, and then nodded.
"We should leave this place as soon as possible. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this," Han Li didn't respond to Shi Chuankong's guess, and suddenly raised his head, and said in a solemn tone.
"Alright, then let's leave quickly …" Shi Chuankong nodded when he heard this. Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, and his expression changed.
Beside him, Han Li's expression also sank, and he immediately pulled Shi Chuankong again, and flew into the distance.
