"It seems I can't go any further..." Han Li murmured to himself, his eyes slightly narrowed.

With that, he turned and walked towards the bottom of the arched bridge.

As a result, he had only just lifted his foot when the half-collapsed arched bridge beneath him suddenly shook and began to tremble continuously.

Han Li abruptly turned his head to look and saw within the enormous black rift behind him, a wave of terrifyingly intense spatial fluctuations emanated, its edges even beginning to slowly expand, like a devouring maw, engulfing the arched bridge.

His heart sinking, he quickly tapped his toes and darted away, landing beside the stone lion at the bridgehead.

However, when he turned back to look again, the strange activity from before had stopped, and the slightly expanded rift seemed to have stabilized once more.

"Could it be... the True Words Gate remains are still undergoing spatial disintegration?" Han Li wondered to himself upon seeing this.

If that were the case, then he would have to be even more cautious when searching within the remains later.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

A strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from beneath the stone lion beside him, and immediately afterward, a black vortex, several tens of feet in diameter, materialized out of thin air and continued to expand, emitting powerful suction forces from within.

Han Li became alert and quickly circulated the True Words Treasure Wheel within his body, intending to escape from this area, only to discover that his feet were firmly held in place by a powerful spatial force, and he was unable to break free at all.

"Crap..."

Han Li's face immediately changed. He quickly expanded his Time Domain, a flash of purplish-gold light appearing around him, and golden scales grew on his skin. A set of dark green armor formed from the Xuanwu bloodline then covered his body.

However, before he could summon the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, the tearing force beneath him suddenly surged, pulling him and the stone lion into the vortex at the same time.

In an instant, Han Li felt his feet leave the ground, and his figure appeared within a hazy gray-black space.

There was a loud "boom".

The stone lion that fell into the spatial rift with Han Li was swept away by a whirlwind shrouded in a hazy gray light and instantly shattered, turning into dust and vanishing without a trace.

Knowing that he had been pulled into a spatial rift, Han Li dared not relax in the slightest. His eyes flashed with purple light as he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

At the same time, he flipped both his palms, taking out the nine-in-one Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords and the green Profound Heaven Gourd, bracing himself with utmost concentration.

"Whoosh..."

Gusts of howling wind constantly echoed from all around. Wherever he looked, he could see clusters of gray-white spatial vortexes and long or short gray-white spatial rifts, scattered haphazardly throughout the surrounding area, appearing extremely unstable.

Far in the distance, he could also see chunks of land of varying sizes, as if enclosed by invisible transparent bubbles, floating in the gaps between the various spatial rifts and vortexes.

Some of the landmasses were larger and appeared relatively stable, while others were smaller and were disintegrating at a visible rate under the pressure and tearing of the surrounding spatial rifts.

"Boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the distant void.

Han Li's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look, only to see a colossal gray-white vortex tearing through the surrounding space and sweeping wildly in his direction.

Wherever it passed, the space trembled incessantly, and the intense spatial fluctuations caused the surrounding dense darkness to distort somewhat. Nearby spatial rifts could not be maintained and were dragged into the vortex.

"Not good, this is... a spatial storm!"

Han Li lamented inwardly. Being inexplicably pulled into a spatial rift was already unlucky enough, but now he had even encountered a spatial storm.

Although his physical body was quite powerful now, he still dared not face such a level of spatial force head-on.

His eyes shifted, looking towards the nearest floating landmass. Daring not to linger any longer, he steeled his heart and secretly activated the True Words Treasure Wheel in reverse, his figure beginning to move in that direction.

Because there were too many spatial rifts around, Han Li dared not increase his speed too much and could only move slowly and cautiously in that direction.

After flying about a thousand feet, Han Li paused briefly and glanced back at the spatial storm, his expression turning extremely grim.

The gray-white vortex, which had only been ten thousand feet in diameter just now, had now swelled to a size of tens of thousands of feet. Although its direction was not directly towards Han Li, as it continued to expand, its impact on this already unstable space would only grow greater.

If he could not reach the landmass ahead before the gray-white vortex affected him, he could only watch helplessly as he and the surrounding space were pulled into the vortex little by little, eventually being crushed to pieces.

If he died here, not only would his corpse be gone without a trace, even his Nascent Soul would surely dissipate completely under the blowing of the astral winds.

"Can't worry about too much..."

Han Li muttered to himself, expanding the spiritual domain surrounding him several times, his figure suddenly accelerating, transforming into a golden stream of light, rapidly traversing through the void.

Tens of thousands of feet, thousands of feet, hundreds of feet...

Seeing the landmass getting closer and closer, the scenery on it becoming larger and larger, Han Li even smelled the scent of vegetation on it, his heart was in his throat.

Almost there, almost there...

Just as he was about to reach the edge of the land, a booming explosion suddenly resounded.

The colossal spatial storm suddenly burst open, a dazzling white light shining from within, and countless gray-white light blades flew out, shooting in all directions.

These gray-white light blades varied in size, some as long as hundreds of feet, others only an inch, all of them wrapped in wild and primordial source spatial power, their power impossible to predict.

Sensing the changes there, Han Li's expression became even more unsightly. He had no time to turn around and could only accelerate frantically, rushing towards the landmass ahead.

Just then, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly came from behind.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Han Li's heart leaped. Just as he was about to do something, several explosions rang out from behind. Han Li's Time Domain was hit by several gray-white light blades, and before it could exert its deceleration effect, it was twisted and torn by the spatial force and could not be maintained, dissipating on its own.

Han Li cried out, immediately rushing towards the landmass ahead with all his might.

With a loud crash!

His body slammed into a layer of space barrier that was invisible to the naked eye but extremely solid. He failed to pass through it and was instead bounced back heavily.

Han Li grunted. When he tried to fly towards the landmass again, it was too late. A three-foot-long gray-white light blade had already flown in and was piercing towards his back.

In a desperate moment, he had no time to think. He handed the Profound Heaven Gourd to his back and quickly made hand seals with the other.

The green gourd shone brightly, and a vortex appeared at the mouth of the gourd. With a soft "poof," it sucked the gray-white light blade into the gourd.

Holding the gourd, Han Li felt a huge impact coming, almost losing his grip.

Having finally gained a moment to breathe, he dared not let it go. His figure suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the landmass again.

Just then, a strong burning pain suddenly came from the palm of his hand.

Looking down, he saw that the green gourd in his hand had become as red as a hot iron, vibrating constantly, looking as if it was about to explode at any moment.

Han Li's heart stirred. He put away the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, raised one hand, and struck the bottom of the Profound Heaven Gourd heavily.

With a soft "bang," the gray-white light blade that had been sucked into the gourd earlier shot out, heading straight for the space barrier outside the landmass.

"Boom!"

A earth-shattering roar rang out. A narrow gap, like a spatial rift, appeared in the space outside the land, only a few dozen feet long, but very unstable, looking as if it would disappear at any moment.

Daring not miss this opportunity, Han Li reversed the True Words Treasure Wheel within his body to the extreme, his figure suddenly flashing and bursting into the opening.

The next moment, his whole body fell towards the ground like a meteor. Then, with a "bang," he slammed heavily into the summit of a high mountain, instantly shattering the rocks and sending dust billowing.

But then, with a "whoosh," Han Li's figure shot out from it.

He hovered in mid-air, looking at the slowly closing gap in the high sky, and exhaled a long breath, feeling lingering fear in his heart.

The scene just now was too dangerous. If he had reacted even a little slower, or if he did not have the Profound Heaven Gourd, he would have been in big trouble.

It seemed that the seemingly calm True Words Gate remains were still full of dangers. He had indeed been a little careless before.

After a moment, his figure slowly descended, coming to a shady spot under lush trees, and slowly sat down leaning against a jagged boulder.

He raised the Profound Heaven Gourd in his hand, feeling that there was still residual heat in his palm, but there was no longer the burning sensation from before. The red color on the gourd was also slowly fading, gradually returning to its original green color.

After a brief look, Han Li released his spiritual sense and carefully examined it for a while, discovering that other than some chaotic spiritual power circulation inside, the immortal artifacts, including the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, were all fine.

Only then did he feel slightly relieved. He put away the gourd, took out a pill, swallowed it, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

About half an hour later, his eyes reopened, and his breath returned to normal.

After standing up, Han Li stretched his body and began to look around. He soon discovered that the surrounding mountains and forests were full of strange rocks, which extended all the way to outside the dense forest.

"What is this place again? Could it be another part of the remains?"

Han Li, with questions, followed these strange rocks all the way out.
