Chapter 2140 Capturing the Dao Ancestor with One Hand
"Fellow Daoist Luo, please don't joke. This person is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Great Luo realm. How could he be a match for me?"
Since the Netherworld is the territory of the Samsara Palace, the Heavenly Court was inevitably somewhat delayed in learning about Han Li's situation. Shui Changtian was even unaware that Han Li had already severed his evil corpse.
Luo Hong did not respond to his words, and Han Li had already lost his patience.
His face was as cold as ice. With a wave of his hand, a golden spiritual domain instantly expanded, covering the sea area within a radius of millions of miles!
Suddenly, a bright moon appeared high in the sky above the once turbulent sea, with countless stars scattered across the heavens.
Beneath the sea surface, golden light surged forth, revealing a colossal mountain range stretching for millions of miles, covered in lush, verdant forests, with a winding golden river flowing quietly through its heart.
"The Law of Time! The Celestial Realm Spirit Domain!"
As soon as Han Li made his move, Shui Changtian sensed his peak mid-stage Great Luo cultivation, but this only caused him to frown slightly.
However, when the Time Spirit Domain of the Celestial Realm appeared, his expression immediately darkened, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, although Han Li still has a considerable gap in cultivation level compared to Shui Changtian, he has undoubtedly made up for it a lot through the law of time!
"Uncertain storm!"
Shui Changtian now fully realized that Han Li was someone he had to deal with with all his might, and he no longer had any intention of underestimating him.
In addition, he had some idea of what Luo Hong was planning to do.
Judging from the strength Han Li has displayed, even if I could defeat him, it would take a lot of effort. The ancestor certainly wouldn't just wait idly by.
"So his target was the ancestor! He's incredibly audacious!"
Shui Changtian offered no warning, but pointed his spear at Han Li, and a towering wave instantly surged up from the sea behind him, rushing straight towards Han Li!
While the two were engaged in a fierce battle, Feng Qingshui was leisurely enjoying tea on a cloud boat thousands of miles away.
"This kid has actually cultivated the Law of Time to this extent. Hmm. This aura... So it's the Great Five Elements Illusionary World Technique. What a remnant of the True Word Sect."
No wonder the Supreme One wanted me to take action personally; it seems that this child caused some disturbance to the River of Time when he broke through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm.
Although Han Li's displayed strength surprised Feng Qingshui, it was not enough to cause the situation to get out of his control, so he remained extremely calm at the moment.
At the moment, Feng Qingshui was not in a hurry to make a move. Firstly, he wanted to see if Shui Changtian's skills had improved, and secondly, he was also cautious and wanted to confirm that Han Li was not bait aimed at him.
However, Feng Qingshui was completely unaware that Luo Hong, who was using the Primordial Void Escape Technique, was sitting cross-legged beside him, enjoying tea and watching the battle together.
"Young Luo, why wait any longer? Let's make our move!"
Silver Fairy was eager to try and couldn't wait to give Feng Qingshui a good beating.
"Don't rush. Although this person is only a Dao Ancestor at the Bone Emperor level, he has quite a background. The Heavenly Water Daoist Robe he is wearing is extremely extraordinary. Let's wait a little longer."
Luo Hong had already sensed the aura of the fundamental law of water from Feng Qingshui's Taoist robe. In order to perfectly capture it, he decided to wait for another opportunity.
In just a short while, Han Li and Shui Changtian had completed their mutual probing and were now unleashing their true abilities.
Shui Changtian roared, and blue light surged from his body, all of it flowing into the spear in his hand, which he then thrust straight down towards Han Li's brow.
In an instant, a dazzling blue light burst forth from the tip of the spear, from which shot out an extremely solid blue ball of light, which exploded directly in front of Han Li's brow.
However, Shui Changtian was unaware that Han Li had deliberately let him get close, and before he could launch an attack, the Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Technique within his body had already been activated.
At this moment, all 1,800 of Han Li's mystic apertures lit up simultaneously, and golden hexagonal scales appeared all over his body.
With a deafening roar, the seawater within a radius of 100,000 li evaporated instantly. The giant waves that rose from the edge were tens of thousands of feet high, resembling a colossal peak. Wherever they passed, the space trembled and the clouds shattered!
Shi Chuankong had been waiting for this moment. Taking advantage of the aftershocks disturbing the trapping formation, he grabbed Zi Ling and immediately activated the spatial laws, instantly escaping the encirclement!
The Heavenly Court's inspectors were not so lucky. Many of them were unable to dodge in time and were hit by the raging waves, falling into the sea and suffering serious injuries!
At the epicenter of the explosion, the seawater was evaporated, revealing the dried-up seabed.
Because the power of the law had not dissipated, a ring of water appeared at the edge, preventing the seawater from flowing back in.
Han Li was standing on an underwater mountain peak. His scales had fallen off, and there was some bloody flesh on his forehead, but it was only a superficial wound.
With a flash of azure light, the injury was instantly healed.
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, Shui Changtian was entangled by numerous green vines, struggling desperately, but moving extremely slowly.
This is the time-limited treasure given to Han Li by the Ancestor Mi Luo—the Eastern Yi Divine Wood. Once entangled by it, time will be greatly slowed down, resulting in Shui Changtian's current appearance.
"It's time for you to hit the road!"
As Han Li shouted, he made a hand seal, and the golden full moon above his head descended, hovering behind him and releasing countless dense beams of golden moonlight.
Han Li reached out and grabbed, instantly transforming the moon into a sword, and slashed down at Shui Changtian's neck!
"etc."
Shui Changtian spoke slowly, as if he had something to say, but Han Li did not hesitate at all.
With a single sword strike, as easily as slicing tofu, Shui Changtian was beheaded!
However, before Shui Changtian's head could be separated from his neck, his body suddenly became transparent, then liquefied and exploded with a bang!
"Hmph, as expected of a late-stage Great Luo Immortal. Defeating him is not difficult, but killing him will require more effort."
Han Li sheathed his sword and stood there, looking ahead, muttering to himself without any surprise on his face.
At that moment, right where Han Li's gaze fell, countless specks of water vapor began to rapidly condense in one place, quickly transforming into a human shape.
After a flash of blue light, the humanoid figure completely transformed into Shui Changtian!
"Han Li, you forced me to do this!"
Shui Changtian's face was contorted with rage. He knew that he would have to pay a price this time!
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, haven't you noticed that something's off about you?"
Han Li raised an eyebrow and took the initiative to ask.
Shui Changtian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then immediately activated his divine sense to examine himself, but initially found nothing unusual.
Because the substitution technique he just used would temporarily reduce his cultivation level.
But soon, Shui Changtian realized something was wrong.
The cultivation he lost far exceeded what he would have needed to die in place of someone else!
Immediately, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he loudly questioned Han Li:
"How is this possible? How could my cultivation level have regressed so much? What methods did you use?!"
The loss of cultivation power due to taking someone else's place is only temporary and can be recovered quickly in the future, but this kind of unknown loss is uncertain, which is why he is so panicked.
Han Li merely responded with a cold laugh, showing no intention of explaining.
"Alas, having been in the Five Elements Illusion World for so long, how could my cultivation not regress?"
The other party is clearly stalling for time. If I can't even see that, I might have to reconsider my options.
Feng Qingshui understood the "Great Five Elements Illusionary World Technique" and knew that this regression in cultivation was due to its time-based supernatural power.
If left unchecked, it could completely neutralize the cultivation of a Great Luo cultivator, and the speed would only increase!
"No matter what tricks you've played, killing you will solve everything!"
Shui Changtian was no ordinary person after all. He calmed down immediately, put his hands together in front of him, and made a very strange hand seal.
Instantly, a blue glow shone around Shui Changtian, and the roars of countless sea beasts echoed from behind him.
Meanwhile, on the distant sea, a tide was rapidly advancing in this direction.
The giant black whale was swimming above the crest of the tide, seemingly leading the surging waves.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of towering waves, the massive tide of water surged into Shui Changtian's body, turning his entire body into a deep blue color. He was also covered in a layer of blue water armor, and blue runes appeared on his face. His aura immediately surged.
Gradually, his rapidly increasing cultivation level made up for the decline caused by the Five Elements Illusionary World!
The price to pay was that it absorbed all the seawater within a radius of millions of miles, leaving the seabed littered with the shriveled corpses of sea monsters.
Even the Black Emperor Whale appeared to have paid a heavy price, and was now on the verge of death.
Shui Changtian was clearly unable to perfectly control this surging power, so he could only use his supernatural abilities to make his body swell up and transform into a ten-thousand-foot-tall true form.
Even so, blue cracks appeared on his body.
Even more astonishingly, Shui Changtian's aura had already reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, yet he was still devouring more seawater.
Although the speed was much slower without the help of the Black Emperor Whale, its cultivation level was indeed still increasing!
Seeing this, Han Li's expression finally changed, and he opened his mouth, letting out a mighty sound:
"The sun shines brightly overhead, and the yellow sand stretches for thousands of miles!"
As the sound faded, golden ripples immediately spread out, instantly covering the surrounding world.
Instantly, a massive fireball, tens of thousands of feet tall, plummeted from the sky and landed directly on the sea surface, emitting an incredibly intense fiery aura. Meanwhile, the seawater on the ground mysteriously vanished in the blink of an eye, transforming into a vast desert of yellow sand stretching for thousands of miles!
The core of the ocean's law of water and sky is the capacity of water to contain; given the right environment, it can almost infinitely enhance its power.
However, power exceeding one's own limits can easily become uncontrollable. So, despite Shui Changtian's astonishing aura, he actually only possesses the power for one strike.
That's why he tries to absorb as much external force as possible, but now Han Li's words have drastically changed his environment.
Forget about continuing to gather strength, his existing power was being rapidly depleted!
"Oh no, this must be an illusion!"
Shui Changtian didn't care about the power he had just lost, but the problem was that if his attack missed, it would be meaningless!
In an instant, Shui Changtian was drenched in sweat.
"Alas, in the end, we lost."
On the cloud boat, Feng Qingshui watched as Shui Changtian hesitated to launch an attack because he was wary of illusions, and could only waste his strength. He couldn't help but shake his head.
Although somewhat disappointed, one cannot run away now.
So, Feng Qingshui grabbed his clothes and took off the entire Tianshui Daoist robe, then tossed it gently forward.
As the Heavenly Water Daoist robe disappeared, he transmitted his voice:
"Changtian, I will lend you a hand."
A majestic voice, as powerful as the heavens, resounded across the battlefield, causing Han Li's expression to change drastically, while Shui Changtian's eyes lit up.
The next moment, the cloudless sky was covered by a crystal blue ocean, and endless water power fell from it, forming a blockade while also causing the power of the Water Sky to rise rapidly once again!
"Not good! This is the aura of the Dao Ancestor!"
This wasn't the first time Han Li had encountered a Dao Ancestor-level figure, and he was startled, inwardly cursing himself for his carelessness.
On the cloud boat, Feng Qingshui felt confident of victory. After all, even if Shui Changtian couldn't defeat Han Li, the opponent couldn't escape under his Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking technique.
Therefore, Feng Qingshui spoke in a relaxed tone:
"Han Li, I am quite interested in your supernatural power. Hand it over, and I will suffer less physical pain."
Han Li's eyes darted around upon hearing this, but he showed no intention of compromising; he was only thinking about how to escape!
Just as he was sweating profusely with anxiety, a voice he knew all too well, yet tinged with a hint of mockery, rang out:
"Senior likes this divine power that can speak of heaven and earth, why don't you let me teach you?"
The words had barely left his mouth when Feng Qingshui's panicked voice rang out:
"Who are you?!"
On the cloud boat, Luo Hong placed one hand on Feng Qingshui's shoulder and gently pressed him down, making him sit back down.
"Senior, please don't get agitated. Let's continue drinking tea."
Luo Hong pushed her teacup away, her tone gentle and amiable.
Seeing this, Feng Qingshui realized that Luo Hong had already come to his side and was even drinking tea with him, but he had not noticed at all!
"This person's supernatural abilities are beyond my reach!"
Feng Qingshui immediately recognized the power imbalance, his face darkened, and he picked up a teacup to fill Luo Hong's cup.
Of course, during this period, Feng Qingshui did try to resist.
However, all the immortal energy and Dao power he activated flowed uncontrollably into his left shoulder and were absorbed by the opponent's right palm.
He, a dignified Dao Ancestor, was unable to use any supernatural powers or spells at this moment!
"With such methods, could this guy be the Lord of the Samsara Palace!"
Damn it, I'm just a mediocre Dao Ancestor, and I'm even doing this openly. Why would he make things difficult for me and deliberately set a trap for me?
Feng Qingshui felt utterly wronged.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside, seeing no further movement, Shui Changtian knew that Luo Hong had the situation under control, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he changed his hand seals, and his ten-thousand-foot-tall true body transformed into a huge torrent of water, sweeping towards the faintly aura-wielding Black Emperor Whale.
This was for his healing purposes, but in doing so, he himself was exposed.
"You're also one of Senior Brother Luo's people?"
Seeing this, Han Li immediately realized that something was wrong with Shui Changtian and asked with a frown.
"That's it."
Shui Changtian nodded with a complicated expression.
In any case, he survived.
