Chapter 753: Four-colored Lightning Restriction
Immediately thereafter, the green light shot back into the Profound Heavenly Gourd in a flash, carrying the eight black talismans along with it.
Gui Mu faltered slightly upon seeing this, while Han Li continued to cast more incantation seals into the Profound Heavenly Gourd, and a string of faint cracks quickly rang out within it.
In the next instant, a tremendous burst of translucent black light shot out of the mouth of the gourd before striking the black cage of vines with incredible speed.
A burst of immense law power fluctuations erupted out of the black light, and the cage of vines was sliced into two with ease, while Weeping Soul fell out of the sky.
At this moment, she appeared to be in terrible condition. Her entire body was riddled with holes, which seemed to have been inflicted by the ghost vines, and she was covered in blood.
Han Li appeared beside her in a flash, then caught her before immediately darting back in retreat.
All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and by the time Gui Mu finally reacted to what had just happened, Han Li had already fled with Weeping Soul.
He was both alarmed and furious to see this, and there was also a hint of greed in his eyes as he gazed upon the Profound Heavenly Gourd.
The giant weapons sealed in the eight talismans were once called Profound Heaven Shattering Maces, and they were a set of fifth-grade immortal treasures refined by a peak-Great Encompassment cultivator.
By the time he came into possession of them, they were already on the verge of destruction, and he used a Gray Realm secret technique to draw out their final law powers before sealing them into talismans.
Those eight talismans had taken care of countless formidable foes for him, and even though there wasn\'t much power in them left, it was still extraordinary that the Profound Heavenly Gourd had been able to instantly destroy them before unleashing an attack with the law powers that they contained.
Such an incredible Profound Heavenly Treasure was something that he had never even heard of!
Right at this moment, the Kun Hou let loose another thunderous roar, and countless bursts of black karmic fire surged out of its arm and head like fiery black pythons, rapidly melting away the chains around its body.
Yin Xu and Gui Mu hurriedly injected more power into the black badge upon seeing this, and the nine ghostly heads on the badge swelled drastically in size once again, while the nine red chains around the Kun Hou\'s body also became several times thicker.
However, before the two of them even had a chance to heave a sigh of relief, all of the karmic flames suddenly surged out of the Kun Hou\'s body, while the nine red chains snapped in unison. Immediately thereafter, the karmic fire formed a giant fiery black hand that came crashing down upon them.
The space near the fiery black hand was crackling and popping incessantly from the intense heat, and in response, Yin Xu conjured what appeared to be a giant black eye.
A streak of swordlight erupted out of the pupil of the eye to strike the center of the fiery black hand, and the streak of swordlight exploded upon contact, but the black hand was also stopped momentarily in its tracks, only to immediately continue crashing down with tremendous power.
After unleashing the giant eye ability, Yin Xu immediately grabbed onto Gui Mu before darting away to the side, and the two of them were only just barely able to evade the fiery black hand.
The giant hand fell upon a certain point in the underground space, but there was no violent explosions, as one would expect. Instead, the spot that was struck melted way instantly, creating a giant crater that was tens of thousands of feet deep.
At this point, Han Li had already taken advantage of the chaos to flee far away, and all of a sudden, he noticed something at the deepest part of the crater with his Infernal Devilish Eyes.
"Come with me!"
His voice rang out in the minds of Fox 3 and Shi Chuankong in unison, and the two of them only hesitated slightly before following Han Li deep into the crater.
As soon as they flew into the crater, bursts of thunderous rumbling rang out from outside once again, and it seemed that the battle between the Kun Hou and Yin Xu\'s duo had resumed.
"Why did you lead us in here, Fellow Daoist Li? We\'ll be safe in here for now, but there\'s no way out, and that puts us at risk of being trapped," Fox 3 said as he turned to Han Li with a puzzled expression.
Han Li offered no response as he held Weeping Soul in one arm while injecting his immortal spiritual power into her body to aid in her recovery.
At the same time, he released a streak of azure sword qi with his other hand, which sliced forcefully into the scorching wall of the crater.
A large section of the rock face was instantly sliced away to reveal a black tunnel.
An ecstatic look appeared on Shi Chuankong\'s face upon seeing this.
Many parts of the earth under Asura City had been dug out to create many underground spaces, and the Kun Hou\'s attack had pierced so deep into the earth that it had inadvertently connected this underground space to another.
"Let\'s get out of here. At this point, I\'m sure the entire city\'s attention must\'ve already been drawn here, so there will most likely be other Great Encompassment cultivators arriving on the scene very soon," Han Li said in an urgent manner, then led the way into the black tunnel.
Fox 3 and Shi Chuankong immediately followed along, and after entering the tunnel, the latter swept his left hand through the air to release a burst of white flames, which vanished into the nearby rock face, melting it once again so that it blocked the entrance to the tunnel.
After that, the three of them sped onward as quickly as they could.
This was quite a spacious black tunnel, one that was around seventy to eighty feet tall, and the rock faces on either side were riddled with what appeared to be some type of sealing runes.
However, it was completely dark up ahead, and spiritual sense was still severely restricted here, so they had no idea where this tunnel led to.
"There\'s not going to be something else sealed up ahead, is there?" Shi Chuankong murmured to himself.
"Just a single Kun Hou is enough to keep the Infernal Tribe busy. If we release another, the entire Gray Realm will be plunged into chaos!" Fox 3 chuckled.
"I\'m already completely spent after undoing the previous seal, so even if we run into another seal, I won\'t be able to do anything about it," Shi Chuankong replied with a wry smile.
Right at this moment, a hint of purple light flashed through Han Li\'s eyes, following which an elated look appeared on his face, and he abruptly accelerated, speeding onward as a streak of azure light.
Fox 3 and Shi Chuankong immediately picked up the pace as well, and before long, the two of them had emerged from the tunnel into another giant hall.
At the deepest point of the hall was a stone gate with lights of different colors flashing over it. On the very outside was a radiant silver light barrier that was giving off spatial fluctuations, and it was almost identical to the seal that they had just broken, except on this occasion, there was a four-colored lightning restriction beyond the silver light barrier.
The four colors of lightning were azure, purple, silver, and gold, and they were giving off tremendous lightning law power fluctuations.
Among them, the golden lightning was none other than Bone Rinsing Golden Lightning!
"This is Bone Rinsing Golden Lightning! Could it be that the Baleful Cleansing Pond is what\'s sealed in here?" Shi Chuankong exclaimed with an ecstatic expression.
A hint of elation also flashed through Fox 3\'s eyes, followed by a mixture of other emotions.
"We\'ll have to count on you again to break the spatial restriction here, Fellow Daoist Shi," Han Li said.
"This spatial restriction is the same as the one from before, so I shouldn\'t have any trouble with it, given my earlier experience," Shi Chuankong said as he swept a sleeve through the air to release a series of silver array flags.
The array flags circled around in the air momentarily before forming several arrays at his behest, all of which slowly vanished into the silver light barrier.
Fox 3 couldn\'t provide any assistance, so he stood off to the side to keep a lookout for any potential pursuers.
As for Han Li, he laid Weeping Soul down onto the ground, then made a rapid string of hand seals to release several green talismans, all of which vanished into her body.
Countless thin strands of green light emerged from her wounds before intertwining with one another, and those wounds began to rapidly heal.
At the same time, Han Li flicked a finger through the air to release a black pill that carried several translucent crimson marks, and it flew straight into Weeping Soul\'s slightly agape mouth.
A ball of black light emerged over her lower abdomen, then quickly spread over her entire body, and her feeble aura began to quickly recover.
Just a few seconds later, her brows furrowed slightly, following which she slowly opened her eyes, but her complexion was still very pale.
"Master..."
She struggled up into a seated position as she looked up at Han Li with a grateful expression, and she was just about to say something when Han Li interjected, "Focus on refining the pill in your body that I just fed you first."
Weeping Soul nodded in response, then sat down with her legs crossed, while Han Li joined Fox 3 on lookout duty.
Thankfully, the tunnel that they had just passed through remained completely silent, and neither Gui Mu nor Yin Xu had come after them.
Meanwhile, Shi Chuankong was working as quickly as he could, and the array flags around him were piercing into the silver light barrier at a far faster rate than last time.
He took a deep breath, then summoned the Virata Lute amid a flash of silver light, and his fingers flew rapidly over the lute\'s strings to fill the entire space with solemn and urgent music.
The nearby space trembled before shattering altogether, and it was clear that Shi Chuankong now had far better control over the Virata Lute than before.
Bursts of silver light flew out of the lute with each strum of its strings, and all of the bursts of silver light vanished into the silver light barrier, rapidly whittling it down until there was only a thin layer left.
However, this final layer of the light barrier was extremely resilient, and it displayed no signs of giving way.
A sharp gleam flashed through Shi Chuankong\'s eyes as he forcefully strummed the strings of his lute five times, and five bursts of silver light shot forth before transforming into five silver sword projections.
Immense law power fluctuations were emanating from the silver sword projections, and they struck the silver light barrier in a flash.
A resounding boom rang out as the light barrier was finally unable to hold itself together any longer, disintegrating into countless specks of silver light.
Shi Chuankong was looking rather pale, clearly indicating that the ability that he had just unleashed had been quite taxing on him, but thankfully, his efforts had paid off.
After heaving a sigh of relief, he turned to call upon Han Li and Fox 3, but right at this moment, things took an unexpected turn...
