Chapter 1121: Search for Close Family

The two clashed, and the fist projections exploded one after another, but the time law powers within them weren\'t able to slow down the ball of five-colored light very much at all, so they hadn\'t bought him much time.

Han Li\'s brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and his thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords combined into one at his behest before falling into his grasp.

There was no time for him to swing the sword, so he could only use it as a protective barrier.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A vast expanse of golden lightning erupted out of the sword in a frenzy, resembling a giant, golden, lightning hand that enveloped the ball of five-colored light to impede its advance.

More and more arcs of golden lightning continued to erupt out of the sword before being destroyed by the ball of five-colored light, and an impasse ensued.

Wyrm 3 and Fox 3 immediately flew over to Han Li\'s side, protecting him from further attacks from Qi Mozi.

However, instead of harassing Han Li any further, Qi Mozi flew back through the air before landing on a giant pile of rubble roughly ten thousand feet away. At the moment, Xiong Shan was hiding behind the pile of rubble with a horrified look on his face.

Only after several seconds had passed did the eruption of balls of five-colored light finally begin to subside, and Han Li turned to Qi Mozi with a cold look in his eyes.

Right at this moment, a figure abruptly appeared beside Han Li without any warning, stirring up no spatial fluctuations or spiritual qi fluctuations at all as he reached out to grab onto Han Li\'s sword-wielding arm.

The figure was none other than the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity, and Han Li\'s trio was naturally very much taken aback by his sudden emergence from the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array.

Han Li\'s throat was feeling a little dry as he turned his gaze to the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity, whose aura had become even more condensed and restrained, as if much of the impurities in his body had been eradicated from the repeated baptisms he had undergone within the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array.

"It\'s been a very long time since I\'ve seen the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra in action. Come, let\'s have a little spar together," the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity said.

"Please don\'t make jokes at my expense, Senior. I\'m clearly no match for you," Han Li hurriedly replied as he attempted to withdraw his arm, but to no avail.

Hence, he could only activate his Infernal Devilish Eyes to try and search for any weak points in the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity\'s body.

"You\'ve also mastered an ocular secret technique of our holy race? You certainly are a rare talent..." the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity remarked, immediately identifying Han Li\'s Infernal Devilish Eyes.

He then raised an eyebrow as he continued, "Who is your master? How have you mastered even the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts?"

Han Li was astonished to hear this, and he was terrified that the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity would be able to uncover even more of his secrets, so he hurriedly replied, "Your vast wealth of knowledge and experience is truly astounding, Senior. My master is Patriarch Miro of the True Mantra Sect. Have you heard of him?"

"So your master is that fat monk. That makes sense, considering your primary cultivation arts is the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra. I knew it! I\'m a genius!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity said with an elated nod, looking much more like a small child who had solved a difficult puzzle than a Great Encompassment cultivator.

"Your wisdom is truly unmatched, Senior," Han Li praised. "May I ask that you release me now?"

Sure enough, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity became even more elated upon receiving praise from Han Li, and he let go of Han Li\'s arm as he said in a proud manner, "You\'re not that good to look at, but you\'re a smart kid. When it comes to knowledge and experience, very few people can compare with me!

“If you have any questions, then I suggest you take full advantage of this opportunity and raise them to me. I\'m in a good mood right now, so I\'m happy to provide you with the enlightenment that you seek."

Han Li\'s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, and he didn\'t know what to make of this situation, so he said, "I wouldn\'t dare to trouble you with my trivial questions, Senior."

"Are you trying to make it so that I\'m unable to keep a promise? I told you to ask me questions, so you have to ask!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity demanded with an angry look on his face.

Wyrm 3 and Fox 3 were standing beside Han Li, no more than twenty to thirty feet from the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity, and they were looking on with flabbergasted expressions, not daring to advance or retreat.

Qi Mozi faltered slightly upon seeing this, following which a sly grin appeared on his face.

Lei Yuce and the others were still unable to get away, so they could only secretly feed Daoist Master Dao Yin some pills while the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity was distracted with Han Li.

"In that case, there is a question that I would like to ask. Have you seen a Gold Devouring Immortal here, Senior?" Han Li asked in a respectful manner.

Even though there existed an agreement between him and Qu Lin, he still couldn\'t help but feel a sense of unease at the fact that Qu Lin had been missing ever since he first entered the seventh level.

"I have," the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity replied without any hesitation.

"Where?" Han Li hurriedly.

"I don\'t remember, it was too long ago. I remember that he made for a really good punching bag, so I gave him a beating to stave off boredom. Come to think of it, I haven\'t seen him in a very long time," the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity mused.

Qu Lin had indeed mentioned being beaten by an old madman during his previous venture into the seventh level, so this corroborated his story.

"Wait, that doesn\'t make sense! You\'ve been trapped in this altar in the Eon Palace this entire time, how could you possibly have met him before?" Han Li asked.

"You say I\'ve been trapped here? What a joke! I only chose to stay in this place so I can sleep without being interrupted. If I wanted to come out, no one could\'ve stopped me!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity protested in a displeased manner.

"My apologies, Senior, it seems I misunderstood the situation," Han Li hurriedly said.

Back when he had first laid eyes upon the array through the hole that Wyrm 3 had blasted into the altar, he had already noticed that something was a little off about it. Thinking back now, it seemed like the array had already somehow lost the ability to serve its intended purpose.

If the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity really had been trapped in there while slowly having his cultivation base whittled away, then the energy fluctuations in the array definitely wouldn\'t have been so placid, and that observation was what had struck Han Li as strange at the time.

"What kind of bullshit question is this? You should raise some more difficult questions!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity demanded.

"Like what?" Han Li asked in a perplexed manner.

"Like questions related to cultivation! Come to think of it, those won\'t be very difficult for me to answer, either..." the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity mused as he scratched his own head.

Han Li raised an eyebrow, and a question really did occur to him.

"The cultivation art for the Infernal Devilish Eyes claims that these eyes will allow me to see through all illusions and restrictions, so why is it that there are many illusory arrays and restrictions in this pagoda that I\'ve been unable to see through?"

"That\'s not a very difficult question, but I can answer it for you. Have you taken in any devilish qi during your cultivation of the Infernal Devilish Eyes?" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity asked.

"Of course. After all, the foundation of this ocular ability comes from using devilish qi to cleanse one\'s eyes," Han Li replied.

"I figured as much. You\'re using a devilish cultivation art, so I\'m assuming you drew upon your own devilish qi instead of devilish qi from the outside world. Hence, there should be no issues with the purity of the devilish qi that you\'ve taken in. In that case, the problem must lie in the fact that you\'ve cultivated other spirit eye abilities in the past," the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity deduced, and he was suddenly looking much more focused and sane.

"Your deduction is perfect, Senior! I have indeed cultivated another spirit eye ability in the past," Han Li praised, and this time, it came from a much more earnest place.

He had previously cultivated the Brightsight Spirit Eyes, and it seemed that some conflict existed between these two ocular abilities.

"The cultivation methods for different spirit eye abilities are fundamentally different, so they\'ll inevitably conflict with one another. All you need to do is..."

With that, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity provided a concise solution to Han Li\'s problem.

With his question answered, Han Li was feeling a bit more reassured, and he said, "Thank you, Senior. I have one more question. May I ask why you\'ve trapped all of us here?"

The Dark Heavens Devilish Deity was instantly rooted to the spot upon hearing this, and he began pacing back and forth as he fell into deep thought.

"What was I going to do again? I was going to do something, but I can\'t remember..." he murmured to himself as he sat down onto the ground, while everyone else looked on with exasperated expressions.

After some time, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity seemed to have suddenly recalled something, and a look of urgency appeared on his face as he exclaimed in a frantic voice, "I remember now, I\'m looking for my wife and son! Have you seen them? Do you know where they are?"

"I\'m afraid not, Senior," Han Li replied with a shake of his head.
