Chapter 694: Solidify

Han Li witnessed this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition resurfaced.

He saw Shi Chuankong's fingertip pass through the top of the formation and land on the silver pipa. The strings on the pipa suddenly vibrated slightly, playing on their own.

"Zheng..."

A long pipa sound rang out, and a wave of silver light suddenly oscillated from it, sweeping out in all directions.

Shi Chuankong bore the brunt of the attack, hit by the silver light. His eyes widened suddenly, and he flew backwards into the air as if struck hard, but his figure remained suspended in the air, failing to fall.

Before the others could finish being surprised, the silver light wave swept over, and everyone floated into the air involuntarily, like Shi Chuankong. No matter how they struggled, they could only move in place, unable to move forward or land.

Immediately afterwards, the golden compass in the center of the formation seemed to be touched by this force as well. The tracks around it rotated violently, and a beam of golden light suddenly burst out from a pointer, spreading out like the previous silver light wave.

Everyone felt bitter in their hearts, and were swept by this layer of golden light without resistance, their bodies stiffening and freezing in mid-air.

Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment. Even the gray mist that filled the sky outside the hall stopped surging, like a dirty gray wall standing in place.

The eyes of everyone in the hall were dull, and even their consciousness seemed to be imprisoned. Only Han Li's eyeballs were still trembling slightly, but he couldn't even move them left or right.

However, even so, he was obviously much stronger than the others. At least his consciousness was not frozen, and he could still think, although it had become very slow.

The reason for this situation was not that Han Li had anything special, but because he had shrunk the Time Domain before, shrouding himself like an overcoat, which blocked some of the impact from the previous two fluctuations.

Inside the main hall, a strange state of silence appeared. Everyone was suspended in mid-air, completely unable to move.

At this moment, the void suddenly began to vibrate violently. Behind the ugly old man named Gui Tian, a black spatial rift several feet long suddenly appeared, emitting bursts of strong spatial fluctuations.

On the other side, a black crack three feet long suddenly appeared beside Feng Lin's neck, flashing with a dark light. It extended slightly behind her ear, directly cutting a glaring bloodstain on her earlobe.

However, both of them were completely imprisoned in place and seemed completely unaware of this.

Han Li watched this scene, knowing that the spatial balance of the entire ruins was likely to have been broken. The entire space would completely disintegrate before long. His eyes trembled and he desperately urged the Mantra Treasure Wheel in his body.

However, under the imprisonment of time and space, the operation of his consciousness and immortal spiritual power became very slow, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel in his body also seemed to be silent, showing no movement for a long time.

Just then, a somewhat muffled "rumbling" sound rang out from the void. The two spatial rifts that had appeared before vibrated at the same time and expanded.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the black rift behind Feng Lin's ear suddenly lengthen and widen, turning into a flat black hole about five feet in size, directly decapitating her.

Her head was suspended above the black hole, and her body was still below, as if separated by a layer of black light. No sound came out, and no blood flowed out. The scene looked extremely strange.

On the other side, the black rift behind Gui Tian also expanded twice as much, tearing through his chest like a black spear, cutting open his heart and ribs. Likewise, no blood splashed out.

The tip of the black rift that penetrated his body was already against Shi Chuankong's back. With just an inch more distance, it could tear his chest open as well.

Han Li was extremely anxious, but he could only desperately urge his immortal spiritual power and reverse the true wheel in his body with all his strength, trying to move himself. But after some attempts, his body still couldn't move even half an inch. However, his eyes could move left and right, and the speed of his consciousness had recovered a lot.

"Rumble..."

But just then, the voice like the whisper of a demon rang out again.

Han Li's gaze slowly swept forward, and he found that the two spatial rifts from before were now very stable and had not continued to expand. They wouldn't pose a threat to him for the time being.

But as he slowly retracted his gaze and looked down at his body, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

He saw that a black rift about ten feet wide and more than thirty feet long had appeared there at some point. It was like an open black pocket, just waiting to expand once more to swallow him in.

Han Li's eyeballs trembled faster and faster, and he tried his best to urge the Mantra Treasure Wheel in his body, but it was still to little avail.

Even if he had been imprisoned in the past, he could forcibly break free with the help of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, but this time it was a bit of a gamble.

He was extremely anxious in his heart. He had rarely encountered this situation where his mind and body could not merge, and the current severe situation was unprecedented.

"Perhaps I can try the Refining Spirit Technique..."

As soon as this thought arose in Han Li's mind, he began to silently chant the incantation of the Refining Spirit Technique in his sea of consciousness. But the reaction to each word and sentence was extremely slow, and the activation of the Refining Spirit Technique became very difficult.

Just then, a low and muffled "rumbling" sound like thunder in the void rang out again. The void beside Immortal Hotfire was vibrating, and a dark crack appeared as well.

Han Li's heart tightened. With his powerful willpower, he urged his divine sense to the extreme, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes. The Refining Spirit Technique finally began to operate slowly.

With the aid of the Refining Spirit Technique, his thinking consciousness was finally able to operate as usual, and the operating efficiency of the Mantra Transformation Wheel Technique also increased greatly. He was finally able to clearly perceive the Mantra Treasure Wheel in his body.

"Boom..."

This time, the void actually shook violently. The spatial rift below Han Li immediately tore open and expanded upwards by several feet, directly tearing off a piece of the hem of his robe.

Han Li's heart trembled. He didn't dare to hold back any longer. Under his full urging, a piece of golden light finally burst out from behind him under the double imprisonment of space and time laws.

The Mantra Treasure Wheel finally emerged, hanging behind him and spinning around.

As soon as this treasure appeared, it was like a golden scorching sun, with countless golden rays bursting out from it. Together with Han Li's spiritual domain, it supported a small area of golden light around him, resisting the suppression of the power of the laws in this space.

Han Li's stiff body finally felt slightly relaxed, and the ten fingers of the hand that had been holding the sword were finally able to lift a little.

However, obtaining only this little bit of mobility was not enough for him to get rid of the current predicament.

With a thought in Han Li's mind, the time crystal threads wrapped around the Mantra Treasure Wheel, two of them, began to light up with golden light one after another on their surface.

The golden light initially dotted like fireflies, but before long, the fireflies gathered together and became brighter, like a burning golden flame.

In fact, Han Li was indeed burning time crystal threads to release the time law power contained within them.

Under the burning of the two golden flames, the time patterns on the Mantra Treasure Wheel began to light up one after another, shining far brighter than at any other time. A series of extremely strong time fluctuations came out of it, constantly impacting the surrounding void.

Han Li tried to move his body, but found that the surrounding void was still like a solidified piece. Even the slightest movement of raising his arm felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was hanging on his arm, making it extremely difficult.

He glanced down with his eyes lowered and saw the spatial rift below him was almost touching the soles of his feet. He clenched his teeth and urged the Mantra Treasure Wheel again.

He saw another golden flame rising on the wheel, and the third time crystal thread was burning.

As the time law power contained within it was released, the golden light around the Mantra Treasure Wheel became more and more solid. As it slowly rotated, it was like a golden saw wheel, tearing through the surrounding void.

Seeing this, a look of joy finally appeared on Han Li's face, and he began to urge the Mantra Treasure Wheel to move to the side with difficulty.

Wherever the Mantra Treasure Wheel passed, the invisible barriers formed by time and space laws were like a newly solidified mud pond that had been stirred up again. Han Li was struggling forward in the mud pond, taking each step extremely hard.

After finally leaving the range of that spatial rift, Han Li did not stop at all. He moved towards the three magical treasures in the hall at the cost of a large consumption of immortal spiritual power in his body.

"Rumble..."

The sound of roaring in the surrounding void became more and more frequent. Han Li frowned, his face showing concern, but his eyes were very firm.

The reason why he did not immediately choose to escape after being able to move, but instead went deep into the hall, was naturally because the three immortal artifacts were too eye-catching. But on the other hand, it was also a last resort.

He could not explore how large the area of the space that was imprisoned here was. Blindly escaping was tantamount to courting death. It was better to try to get the three immortal artifacts and lift the restriction here.

Even if the ruins were completely destroyed at that time, he could still try to find a chance to escape from the cracks in space.

When he finally arrived beside Immortal Hotfire with great difficulty, after a slight hesitation, he still paused and grabbed his shoulders with both hands, moving him a few feet to the side, avoiding the black rift that threatened his life.

Due to the influence of the Mantra Treasure Wheel, Immortal Hotfire's consciousness was briefly released during Han Li's close proximity, but his body could not move, and he could not even say half a sentence.

And when Han Li left him and continued forward, his consciousness solidified again.

In the time-stilled hall, Han Li had no idea how much time he had spent before he finally arrived at the location of the three immortal artifacts.
