Wang Yu
Chapter 80 Mysterious Bubble (Yuandan Happiness)
From time to time, white, hazy spatial rifts would appear within the light streams, emitting terrifying suction forces and wailing sounds.
Even a Mahayana cultivator with heaven-piercing cultivation or a high-level demon beast with a nearly indestructible body would be annihilated and lose the chance for reincarnation if they were careless here.
This was the Inter界间隙 (Jiè Miàn Jiàn Xì)!
At this moment, Han Li felt like someone who couldn't swim, suddenly thrown into a vast and boundless storm.
Although he had anticipated the danger in the Inter界间隙 (Jiè Miàn Jiàn Xì) to some extent, knowing it wouldn't be easy to traverse, he hadn't expected the present situation.
The spatial storms that filled the surroundings were many times more powerful than the ones he had encountered when ascending from the Human World to the Spirit World. If his physical body hadn't been forged into a True Extremity Body, and if he hadn't consumed and cultivated countless spiritual materials and Gongfas (Gōngfǎs) that transformed his body, he would have been shattered into pieces the moment he entered this place.
His entire body was already covered in a simple, white bone armor. This was the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor, forged from numerous heavenly treasures of the Spirit寰界 (Líng Huán Jiè). Under the pull of the surrounding, alternating suction forces, his body appeared somewhat unsteady.
He took a deep breath. The bone armor emitted an incomparably dazzling white light. The patterns on it—umbrellas, shields, hooks, and so on—shone brightly, emitting sharp whistling sounds. Then, they all shot out from the bone armor, transforming into white umbrellas, shields, and hooks, rotating around Han Li in a circle.
With a spin, these items merged together, transforming into a layer of solid, thick protective barrier that enveloped his body, emitting a dazzling white light that seemed to isolate the surrounding spatial fluctuations.
Han Li's figure stabilized somewhat.
He looked at the bone armor on his body and nodded in satisfaction.
The Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor was originally crafted to withstand the spatial storms in the Inter界间隙 (Jiè Miàn Jiàn Xì). The materials used were specially selected, with several main materials, such as the Eight Treasures Exquisite Jade, containing spatial attributes. Now it seemed that it hadn't disappointed him.
After his eyes flickered with blue light a few times, he spurred his escape technique and flew forward.
Waves of spatial storms surged from all around, but they were all blocked by the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor.
However, after the time it takes to burn an incense stick, his brows furrowed again.
Although the armor provided protection, allowing him to appear unscathed for now, traveling through these storms was extremely slow. He estimated that he had only flown a mere hundred miles since entering.
If it were just a matter of time, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, this was a weak spatial node between the two worlds. Slowly advancing would eventually lead him to the Immortal World. However, he could clearly sense that the spiritual power contained within the armor was rapidly depleting after being bombarded by waves of storms.
"I wanted to save some strength to deal with unexpected dangers, but it seems that's not possible." Han Li murmured to himself after a moment of thought.
In the next moment, his entire body suddenly emitted a seven-colored light, as dazzling as the sun.
A phoenix cry that soared to the heavens rang out. With a spin, he transformed into a gigantic bird, tens of zhang in length.
It was the 天凤变身 (Tiān Fèng Biàn Shēn) transformation from the twelve transformations of the惊蛰 (Jīngzhé)!
The Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor automatically disassembled, transforming into bone fragments that adhered to various parts of the Heavenly Phoenix's body. The white protective barrier remained unaffected.
Spreading its wings, the Heavenly Phoenix transformed into a seven-colored phantom, flying forward with incredible speed, much faster than before.
Waves of spatial storms attacked, but as soon as they touched the Heavenly Phoenix's body, a seven-colored light burst forth from its body, and the storms automatically slid past.
The Heavenly Phoenix True Spirit had the divine ability to manipulate spatial power, making it like a fish in water when flying in these spatial storms.
A hint of excitement appeared in Han Li's eyes. He let out a long roar, and his speed suddenly increased again, darting through the endless spatial storms, advancing rapidly.
Time passed bit by bit. There were no day and night changes in the Inter界间隙 (Jiè Miàn Jiàn Xì), but he estimated that almost a day had passed.
This day, he had encountered dangers frequently, making it feel even longer than a year.
The Inter界间隙 (Jiè Miàn Jiàn Xì) not only contained spatial storms but also harbored other unpredictable dangers. There were even some strange and unusual creatures lurking, launching attacks on him several times.
Fortunately, with the advance detection of his 明清灵目 (Míng Qīng Líng Mù) and the Heavenly Phoenix's spatial manipulation, he managed to get through with some close calls.
At this point, the seven-colored light around the Heavenly Phoenix's body had dimmed considerably compared to the beginning, and its eyes carried a hint of fatigue.
Maintaining the transformation for a long time consumed a lot of physical energy, but that was secondary. Han Li was more concerned about the armor on his body.
Cracks had appeared on the surface of the armor, and the surrounding white protective barrier was only a thin layer, less than a third of its peak strength.
"If I had known this, I would have spent more time refining another treasure..."
Han Li smiled wryly in his heart, ultimately dismissing the thought. After all, there was no turning back. It was too late to say anything now.
He took a deep breath, and the seven-colored light on his body intensified, increasing his flight speed once again.
As a result, he had flown less than a moment further when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he uttered a soft "Huh."
He saw a point of white light faintly appearing in the spatial storms ahead. Although weak, it firmly appeared in the spatial storms.
"Could it be..."
Han Li was stunned, and a possibility unknowingly emerged in his mind. He spurred his escape technique to increase his speed again, flying quickly towards the white light.
The further he advanced, the brighter the white light became. An inexplicable and noble aura emanated from it, as if it were the holy land of countless realms, high above and unattainable.
He vaguely remembered this aura. It was the aura of the Immortal World!
"Finally..." Han Li felt excited and breathed a long sigh of relief.
His luck wasn't bad after all. Otherwise, once the Eight Treasures Exquisite Bone Armor shattered, he would likely be buried in this Inter界间隙 (Jiè Miàn Jiàn Xì) today, relying solely on himself.
Although his physical body was quite exhausted, the sight before him still invigorated him.
As long as he could return to the Immortal World, he would naturally find a way to find the massive organization that was wanted him, and then follow the trail to find the truth about his amnesia and serious injuries back then.
"Huh!"
After flying for a while, Han Li paused slightly, and his flight slowed down.
He saw a huge yellow object floating in the spatial turbulence not far ahead. It was hundreds of miles in size, round and rolling, looking like a giant bubble at first glance.
The surrounding rolling spatial storms were immediately bounced off when they touched the giant bubble, unable to damage it in the slightest.
And this mysterious bubble was not empty; something could be vaguely seen inside.
A layer of blue light appeared in Han Li's eyes as he stared intently. Soon, his expression darkened slightly.
His 明清灵目 (Míng Qīng Líng Mù) couldn't see through the bubble either. There was a strange power inside, blocking his sight!
A hint of curiosity arose in Han Li's heart, but he quickly shook his head.
This bubble was quite strange. His situation was not good now. It was better not to cause trouble and reach the Immortal World as soon as possible.
With this thought in mind, the Heavenly Phoenix that Han Li had transformed into spread its wings, made a turn, and flew past the yellow bubble.
At that moment, the spatial storms around him suddenly激荡 (jī dàng) violently.
Boom!
A huge force burst out from within, slamming heavily into the Heavenly Phoenix he had transformed into.
"What is it!" Han Li was shocked.
This force was immense, definitely not inferior to his own full-strength strike.
The Heavenly Phoenix's body was immediately knocked sideways, uncontrollably crashing into the yellow bubble.
The yellow bubble, which could easily bounce off the spatial storms, not only did not bounce off the Heavenly Phoenix after touching it but instead made a soft "poof" sound, causing its body to directly sink into it.
Han Li felt a dizzying sensation, but after flapping his wings a few times, he barely managed to stabilize his body.
Although the impact was enormous, it was not enough to cause any damage to his current physical body.
As a result, when he swept his gaze around, he was immediately stunned.
This was an extremely peaceful yellow world. The turbulent spatial turbulence outside had all disappeared at this moment. The air was filled with yellow light, and below, a land of hundreds of miles in size was suspended, like an island.
The天地灵气 (Tiāndì Língqì) within this yellow space was extremely dense, a hundred times stronger than the best spiritual land in the Spirit寰界 (Líng Huán Jiè). The island was full of lush forests, and each tree seemed to be at least a thousand years old.
There were many spiritual materials in the forest, and they were all thousands of years old. There were also many spiritual herbs that were tens of thousands of years old, most of which were species he did not recognize.
This island was simply full of treasures everywhere.
After pondering for a moment, Han Li flashed with seven-colored light and returned to his human form. He took out a blue, glittering pill and swallowed it.
This pill was called 天星丹 (Tiān Xīng Dān), a secret medicine of the 境元观 (Jìng Yuán Guān), refined from several strange spiritual herbs that could absorb some of the power of the stars. For him, who had cultivated the 小北斗星元功 (Xiǎo Běidǒu Xīng Yuán Gōng), it was the best recovery pill.
The 天星丹 (Tiān Xīng Dān) transformed into a warm current that quickly flowed throughout his body.
His exhausted body seemed to be injected with a powerful vitality, recovering quickly.
Han Li's expression relaxed. He did not land rashly, but spurred his 明清灵目 (Míng Qīng Líng Mù) to carefully examine his surroundings.
He felt that something was wrong with just now, as if someone had deliberately done it.
As a result, at this moment, roars that shook the earth came from below.
The entire island trembled, and a huge yellow cloud rose from the forest, flying towards Han Li in the air like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it pounced in front of him.
He could vaguely see a hazy, giant figure within the yellow cloud, seemingly a giant.
Boom!
A giant yellow fist protruded from the yellow cloud. The surface of the skin was scorched yellow and dry, like tree roots, extremely rough.
As soon as it appeared, it carried an indescribable and terrifying force, blasting towards Han Li.
Before the fist arrived, the nearby void was already fluctuating violently.
Han Li's pupils shrank, and he roared lowly. The seven blue lights on his abdomen suddenly intensified, and the 小北斗星元功 (Xiǎo Běidǒu Xīng Yuán Gōng) was activated with all his strength.
His whole body faintly emitted starlight, and seven thick starlights were wrapped around his body. He also punched out.
Boom!
The void around him suddenly exploded, erupting into visible waves that instantly formed white hurricanes that flew towards the surroundings.
After the 小北斗星元功 (Xiǎo Běidǒu Xīng Yuán Gōng) reached completion, even without transforming, the force contained in this fist was already comparable to the previous yellow scarf giant.
The two fists collided.
A deafening roar sounded, and the surrounding void twisted abruptly, then suddenly burst into circles of air waves, instantly forming white hurricanes that flew towards the surroundings.
Han Li was directly blasted away by a huge force, flying out hundreds of zhang before barely stopping.
The giant's body in the yellow cloud also visibly震 (zhèn) for a moment, taking two steps back before steadying itself.
Then, the yellow clouds around the giant were swept away by the hurricane, revealing the figure inside.
(Wang Yu wishes all fellow Daoists a happy festival!)
