An even more bizarre scene unfolded.
The five crystalline swords shimmered with a radiant glow, and a ripple of law energy surged forth. The two mountain peaks trembled before abruptly shooting backward.
As another deafening explosion erupted, the two peaks blurred and reappeared above Han Li, crashing down with terrifying force.
Despite Han Li’s frantic mental commands, he found himself unable to control the two treasures, as if his connection with them had been severed.
A chill ran down Han Li’s spine, though his expression remained unchanged. The giant ape he had transformed into suddenly raised its massive hands, spreading its fingers before gently pressing them against the descending mountains.
The moment the hands struck, silver light flickered in their palms, and layers of silver runic formations emerged, stacking up over a dozen layers in an instant.
**BOOM! BOOM!** Two earth-shaking explosions resounded.
Two towering cyclones erupted before the giant ape, and the surrounding space trembled like a tsunami.
Under the immense force, the two mountain peaks were forcibly halted. But in the next instant, silver light flashed, and they vanished into thin air.
The moment Han Li’s palms touched the mountains, his spiritual connection with the treasures was restored, and without hesitation, he immediately withdrew them.
Meanwhile, the elderly Yi remained motionless in the distance, allowing the five crystalline swords to hover before him, making no move to launch another attack.
The giant ape that was Han Li raised its head and glanced at the old man, suddenly speaking words that caused the latter’s expression to shift slightly:
“Time manipulation—you can actually wield this law’s power. But you must be relying on external forces to do so, otherwise you wouldn’t struggle this much.”
“Hmph, the Time Law is an immense divine ability. Even if I can only use a fraction of it, it’s enough to render me invincible. You recognized it at a glance—have you encountered this law before?” The avian-headed monster that was the old man sneered, his eyes flashing with malice.
With a flick of his finger, the five crystalline swords trembled, emitting a low hum. The law energy that had manifested dissipated instantly.
Han Li’s giant ape stared intently at the five swords. After a brief sweep with his divine sense, a look of understanding crossed his face, and he sneered before speaking in a human voice:
“I have indeed encountered this law before in another realm. When I arrived in this world, I thought only the Asura Spiders could wield time-based abilities. I never expected you to possess them as well. It seems you’ve been here for quite some time and have earned the trust of these Asura Spiders—otherwise, you wouldn’t have gained such a tremendous advantage. But if you think this meager time manipulation is enough to rely on, you’re sorely mistaken.”
As soon as the words left his mouth—
The giant ape pounded its chest, and its body erupted with dazzling purple-gold light. In an instant, its size expanded once more, reaching a staggering height of a hundred zhang.
Even more astonishingly, the ape opened its mouth, and a multicolored radiance burst forth, spitting out several glowing orbs of various hues.
The orbs swirled around the giant ape before emitting clear cries and deep roars. Several powerful auras radiated outward, and in a flash, they transformed into massive phantoms—a celestial dragon, a rainbow phoenix, a green luan, a thunder roc, and more.
Meanwhile, the giant ape itself let out a long howl. Layers of purple-gold scales emerged across its body, and with a blur, two additional ferocious heads sprouted from its shoulders while four more arms extended from its sides.
When the three ape heads opened their six eyes simultaneously, faint silver horns emerged on their foreheads.
Realizing his opponent could manipulate time, Han Li no longer held back. He unleashed the full might of the **Vajra Devilish Arts**, manifesting the **Nirvana Sacred Body** at its peak.
In this **Triple Nirvana Transformation**, Han Li’s physical strength reached a level that could terrify even Mahayana cultivators. With a sinister grin, his six arms blurred, unleashing countless phantom strikes toward his foe.
In an instant, the air howled as countless golden fist phantoms materialized in the void, flickering before vanishing without a trace.
The next moment, space around the elderly Yi distorted violently as layers of golden fists surged forth, converging toward him like a storm of golden meteors.
The old man’s face paled in horror. His avian head let out a piercing shriek as his hands blurred in a rapid series of hand seals. The five crystalline swords before him spun wildly, forming a five-colored crystalline barrier that encased his entire body.
Faint runes scattered, and the previously vanished law energy reappeared.
Within the range of this law’s influence—spanning dozens of zhang—all incoming fist phantoms froze midair. However, subsequent attacks continued unimpeded, slamming into the frozen strikes.
Outside the five-colored barrier, explosions erupted as golden fist phantoms detonated, unleashing waves of violent shockwaves that surged toward the barrier. Yet, the moment they approached, they too froze in place.
For a moment, it seemed as though an invisible wall had formed around the barrier, blocking all attacks—whether the golden fists themselves or their explosive aftermath.
The sheer power behind these fists was staggering, and with the giant ape’s six arms flailing relentlessly, their numbers surpassed imagination.
Within mere breaths, the shockwaves from the explosions formed layers of dazzling golden waves, relentlessly battering the center.
A terrifying spiritual pressure, one that even the elderly Yi found daunting, rapidly concentrated around him.
His face turned ashen.
Then—
The five-colored barrier trembled faintly. The frozen golden fists flickered unstably, emitting cracking sounds.
The old man could no longer remain passive. With a low shout, he altered his hand seals, and the barrier’s range abruptly shrank by half. Simultaneously, he spat out several mouthfuls of emerald-green essence blood.
The blood transformed into several green runes, which blurred before merging into the barrier.
A resonant hum filled the air as the trembling barrier stabilized.
The collapsing space around it solidified once more, forcefully resisting the encroaching golden waves.
The elderly Yi exhaled slightly in relief but immediately began chanting under his breath.
Faint runes emerged within the barrier, and the silhouettes of five swords began to reform.
But then—
One of the giant ape’s arms abruptly stopped mid-swing. With a twist, a dark-green longsword materialized in its grasp, its surface inscribed with faint silver ancient characters.
A slight flick of the wrist—
The sword gleamed with crystalline light as the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy trembled before converging into it in dazzling streams.
The dark-green sword blurred, rapidly expanding to a hundred zhang in length. With a forceful swing, the giant ape slashed it through the void.
**WHOOSH!**
Amidst drifting gold and silver runes, a colossal silver crescent shot forth, slicing through the sea of golden fists before vanishing into the law-affected space.
Something bizarre happened—
The silver crescent passed through the time-frozen space as if it weren’t there, then struck the five-colored barrier in a flash.
**BOOM!**
The crescent shattered into countless silver sparks, unleashing an even more formidable law energy that tore through the barrier’s time manipulation.
A silver halo erupted, intertwining with the existing law energy in a chaotic storm of bizarre shrieks. The halo expanded like a snowball, swelling to several acres in size within moments.
Violent spatial distortions erupted, conjuring massive tornadoes that churned through the sky.
After delivering this strike, the giant ape’s colossal form shrank significantly, though its aura remained undiminished. A ruthless glint flashed in its eyes as all six hands gripped the dark-green sword once more.
With a low roar, it swung again.
**SWISH!**
This time, instead of a silver crescent, an emerald-green sword energy shot forth.
The moment it appeared, it flickered above the silver halo before coiling into a massive blade ring.
The ring spanned over a li, its edges razor-sharp, its body a vibrant jade-green, radiating intense law fluctuations.
The three ape heads’ brows darkened as pitch-black demonic eyes opened on each forehead. Several arms lifted, fingers pointing solemnly toward the distant void as the ape uttered a chilling command:
**”Slash.”**
**PFFT!**
Silver runes shimmered across the blade ring before it vanished from the sky.
The next instant, space near the silver halo rippled as the emerald ring silently reappeared, encircling the halo perfectly.
A cold glint flashed—
The ring contracted abruptly, turning into a phantom before disappearing.
Yet, within the silver halo, a thunderous roar erupted as a green line slowly emerged, emitting an extremely faint white light.
The entire halo had been cleanly bisected by the blade ring, split into upper and lower halves.
