Chapter 493: Intercepting the Pills
"Let\'s secure one or two High Zenith Pills first. Even though these people have been trapped by me, it\'s definitely not going to be an easy task to kill all of them. We have to prioritize securing the pills first!" Feng Tiandu replied.
Qi Tianxiao nodded in response, then immediately shot forth toward the golden puppet.
At this point, the golden puppet was already quite far away, and it was no more than 10,000 feet away from the large golden chair on the raised platform.
Qi Tianxiao rose up from the ground, then swept a sleeve through the air to release a streak of gray light, which contained a gray flying sword.
The flying sword began to glow with radiant gray light, then abruptly transformed into dozens of threads of gray light that shot forth toward the golden puppet in unison.
However, right at this moment, the golden patterns on the ground lit up, and a pillar of white flames erupted out of the ground, forming a wall of fire in front of the threads of gray light.
A burst of scorching heat erupted out of the wall of white flames, causing the nearby space to twist and warp.
As soon as the threads of gray light came into contact with the white wall of fire, they were instantly incinerated into nothingness.
Qi Tianxiao\'s expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately stopped cold in his tracks.
Meanwhile, the golden puppet seemed to remain oblivious to everything that was happening as it continued to trudge toward the golden chair.
Qi Tianxiao turned his gaze to the middle-aged man seated on the golden chair, and a thought suddenly sprang into his mind.
Could it be that the puppet is going to offer the High Zenith Pill to that living corpse?
With that in mind, an urgent look immediately flashed through his eyes.
Who knew what was going to happen if the pill were given to that living corpse.
The corrosive laws that he had mastered were naturally somewhat suppressed by flames of this nature, but it seemed that he had no choice but to force his way through.
All the while, the golden puppet was drawing closer and closer to the golden chair.
400 feet...
350 feet...
300 feet...
Large beads of sweat began to appear on Qi Tianxiao\'s forehead, and his mind was racing. All of a sudden, he laid a hand onto his waist, and a white ring emerged in his grasp amid a flash of white light.
A pained look flashed through his eyes as he tossed the white ring through the air with one hand while quickly casting an incantation seal with the other.
The ring instantly began to radiate dazzling white light while rapidly expanding to several times its original size, and countless runes were surging out of it in a frenzy.
Light also began to converge at the center of the ring, instantly forming a white vortex with bursts of spatial power emanating from within.
......
Meanwhile, all of the cultivators outside the High Zenith Palace had already found places to sit.
The stone gate remained open, and the dazzling white light inside was unbearably bright.
Occasionally, one of the cultivators would take a glance at the white stone gate with a hint of greed in their eyes, but no one stepped out of line.
Not long after Han Li and the others entered through the stone gates, the rest of the Vast Flow Palace cultivators also arrived on the scene, led by the fair-skinned scholar.
After some discussion, everyone arrived at a temporary agreement, which was that if the cultivators of any side were to try and enter the High Zenith Palace, then they would immediately be attacked by everyone else.
Among all of the cultivators present, the Vast Flow Palace had the most formidable lineup, which included four Golden Immortals. Aside from them, there were also several True Immortals among their ranks.
Second came the Dawn Fall Sect, which had three Golden Immortals.
Aside from them, the only ones left were Yun Ni and another one of the Blaze Dragon Dao dao lords, and the two of them were standing together, forming a triangular formation with the Vast Flow Palace and Dawn Fall Sect\'s forces.
Right at this moment, two of the Dawn Fall Sect Golden Immortals exchanged a glance with one another, and one of them suddenly suggested, "Fellow daoists, I don\'t think the people inside are going to be coming out anytime soon, and sitting around like this is really unproductive. There may be other treasures to be found in this mountain range, so how about we leave some people behind while the rest of us go and do some exploring?"
Peculiar looks appeared on everyone\'s faces upon hearing this.
They had been ordered to stand on guard duty here, and that was their top priority, so there was no way that they could go wandering off now.
"Not interested," the fair-skinned scholar of the Vast Flow Palace said. "If you want to go, then you can go by yourselves."
Yun Ni and the Blaze Dragon Dao Golden Immortal didn\'t say anything, but it was clear that they had no intention of leaving, either.
"Suit yourselves. In that case, we\'ll go on our own," the Golden Immortal of the Dawn Fall Sect said, then stood up with the other Golden Immortal, and both of them flew away into the distance, quickly vanishing out of sight.
Yun Ni\'s brows were slightly furrowed as she watched them depart.
Once the two of them had flown out of everyone else\'s spiritual sensory range, they immediately drew to a halt, then descended onto the ground in a secretive location.
There, one of the Golden Immortals flipped a hand over to produce a white ring, and the two of them cast a string of incantation seals into the ring, upon which it began to rapidly expand while giving off bursts of white light.
Before long, a white vortex had appeared within the ring as well, and the two of them immediately flew into the vortex.
After the two of them flew into the white ring, countless cracks instantly appeared over its surface, and it shattered before disintegrating into specks of white light.
......
Inside the High Zenith Palace, Qi Tianxiao was hovering in mid-air as he made a hand seal, and two streaks of light shot out of the white ring in front of him, then faded to reveal the pair of Golden Immortals from earlier.
The expressions of Han Li and the others instantly darkened slightly as they saw this from afar.
Following the arrival of the two Golden Immortals, countless cracks appeared over this white ring as well, and it was also shattered.
The two Golden Immortals were rather taken aback by the sight that they were greeted by, and they both cupped their fists in a salute as they greeted, "Greetings, Sect Master, Grand Elder."
"No need for formalities. I\'ve teleported the two of you in here as I need you to unleash your Sun Moon Chaos Arts to help me break through this wall of fire," Qi Tianxiao said.
The two Golden Immortals knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn\'t ask any further questions, and they immediately split apart, then began to chant a collective incantation as black and white light emerged over their bodies.
Both the black and white lights were giving off bursts of law fluctuations, and Han Li was quite intrigued by this.
He could sense that these two bursts of law fluctuations were very special, and they were completely different from the five-elemental laws that he was familiar with.
The law power fluctuations emanating out of the white light were as radiant as the sun, while the black light\'s law fluctuations were dark and gloomy, but not cold or sinister in the slightest.
Could these be laws related to yin and yang? Han Li speculated.
Right at this moment, Jin Tong\'s voice suddenly rang out in his mind. "You\'re not actually trapped by these chains, are you, Uncle?"
He turned to discover that Jin Tong was still struggling with all its might, and golden light was flashing over its sharp claws as it hacked away viciously at the black chains.
However, these black chains were extraordinarily resilient, rendering its struggles completely futile, so it could only turn to Han Li with a helpless expression.
Han Li gave Jin Tong a subtle look, but offered no response outside of that.
Jin Tong was ecstatic to see this, and it immediately urged, "So you do have a way to break out of these chains! Hurry and free me so I can go kill that old zombie!"
"Be quiet! The situation is really unclear right now, so we have to wait," Han Li hurriedly said through voice transmission.
Even though his immortal spiritual power was restricted by this Origin Separation Law Chains, he was still able to use his time law powers, so it wasn\'t impossible for him to break free from these chains, but now wasn\'t the right time to do so.
As Han Li and Jin Tong were communicating with one another, the two Dawn Fall Sect Golden Immortals let loose a collective low roar, and the black and white light around them immediately shot forth toward the wall of fire as two pillars of light, one black and one white.
The black and white pillars of light intertwined with one another before quickly fusing as one to form a black and white vortex.
As the two Golden Immortals continued to make a rapid string of hand seals, the two bursts of law powers also fused together.
The black and white vortex instantly swelled significantly in size, while the two bursts of law powers were also bolstered by about twofold in unison, and they struck the wall of fire with tremendous force.
This was the first time that Han Li had seen two completely different types of law powers that could enhance each other, and he was very intrigued.
At the same time, he was struck by a hint of enlightenment, as if he had just grasped a key point pertaining to the usage of law powers, but in this situation, he couldn\'t dwell on this train of thought for long, so he would just have to slowly explore it another time.
The black and white vortex was revolving rapidly, while the wall of fire churned violently, and bursts of scorching flames surged toward the black and white vortex as if they had a mine of their own, trying to incinerate the vortex. However, the vortex was only becoming brighter and brighter as it flew rapidly into the wall of fire.
A few seconds later, the black and white vortex was able to pierce straight through the wall of fire to open up a black and white passageway.
At this point, the golden puppet was already no more than 150 feet away from the raised platform.
Qi Tianxiao immediately shot through the black and white passageway as a streak of gray light, hurtling toward the golden puppet like lightning.
He then swept a sleeve through the air to release the same gray jade scepter from before, and it swelled to the size of a house in the blink of an eye.
A vast expanse of dense gray mist was swirling around the scepter, and there were countless gray runes interspersed throughout the mist as the scepter came crashing down upon the golden puppet.
Meanwhile, the other two Dawn Fall Sect Golden Immortals also flew through the black and white passageway before pouncing at the golden puppet.
At the same time, both of them opened their mouths to release two streaks of light, one white and one black, and they contained a pair of large triangular flags.
One flag was a pristine white color with a blazing sun embroidered onto its center, and it was giving off blinding white light, while the other flag was pitch-black with a moon embroidered onto its surface, giving off a faint glow that was more subtle and profound.
The two of them cast a string of incantation seals into the pair of flags, and they instantly transformed into a pair of massive balls of light. A sun was hovering within one of the balls of light, and a moon in the other, both of which were giving off immense auras.
The two balls of light were giving off a thunderous rumbling sound as they hurtled toward the golden puppet from either side.
