Chapter 1733: New Divine Ability

He waited for the suction force under his feet to weaken to a certain extent, then took another step, and then stayed for a long while...

Just like that, the last ten or so stone stairs took Han Li a quarter of an hour to finally finish walking.

Almost the moment his feet touched the peak, Han Li felt the suction force under his feet vanish, and his body became exceptionally light, as if he could fly up with one giant step without any magic power.

Han Li let out a long breath, and the blurry golden armor on his body vanished in a flash.

He looked back and glanced down the mountain.

He saw that Shi Kun was still hundreds of stairs away, panting heavily as he looked at Han Li with a look of frustration.

And Liu Shui'er was still two thousand stairs away, only able to see a small black dot.

Fortunately, the two knew that although they had let Han Li take the lead, this purple palace was so large, and no one knew if there were any powerful restrictions inside, so they weren't afraid that all the treasures would be taken away by the other party.

Han Li smiled slightly, knowing that it would take a long time for these two to reach the peak, so he didn't say anything, turned his body, and looked at the purple palace in front of him.

Dozens of feet away from him, a palace gate over twenty feet tall stood there.

This gate was tightly closed, with dozens of giant crystals of various colors embedded on the surface, and complex patterns engraved on the edges, arranged in an orderly manner.

Han Li scanned the palace gate several times, and after a flash of his eyes, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

He discovered that those dozens of fist-sized crystals were actually exceptionally rare top-tier spirit stones, and they were clearly even purer than the "top-tier spirit stones" of the Spirit Realm.

Han Li let out a low "tsk tsk" sound, shifted his gaze, and landed on the purple palace wall next to the palace gate.

These walls, built of unknown materials, were only five or six feet tall, but the main body emitted a strange purple light, and there were runes of various sizes engraved on the surface.

Han Li's mouth curled, and he immediately recognized these runes as the "Silver Tadpole Runes" he was already exceptionally familiar with.

"This place is indeed built by an immortal from the True Immortal Realm!" Han Li's expression was calm, but his heart was rolling violently, and his gaze toward the palace became increasingly fiery.

Although he possessed various strange treasures and had encountered various strange encounters since he started his cultivation path, thinking that this palace might have treasures left by an immortal, the excitement in his heart was still hard to suppress.

No wonder Cai Liuying and Duan Wen Tianren were so certain that there must be pills here to help them break through the Saint-stage bottleneck.

Thinking of the great divine abilities of an immortal from the True Immortal Realm, refining some pills useful to people of the lower realm was naturally an easy thing.

However, Han Li was not an ordinary person. After calming his heart, he became calm again and looked above the purple palace wall.

Suddenly, he raised one hand and pointed a finger into the void.

Immediately, after a thunderclap, a pale golden electric arc appeared, and after one flash, it struck above the palace wall.

A strange scene appeared!

As soon as the golden electric arc shot above the seemingly empty purple palace wall, a pleasant music like heavenly music rang out, then purple light flashed, and the golden electric arc vanished like a clay ox entering the sea.

Han Li's brows furrowed.

Even though he used his Clear Spirit Eyes in an instant, he couldn't see the mystery of the purple

As for scanning with his spiritual sense, as soon as it flew near the palace walls, it was bounced back by an invisible force, completely unable to probe even a fraction into the palace.

Sighing lightly, Han Li abandoned the idea of going over the surrounding walls and refocused his gaze back onto the palace gate.

Compared to the mysterious restrictions on the palace walls to the side, it was naturally safer to take the main entrance.

However, although he could not discern anything unusual about the palace gate, he naturally would not rashly go to open it himself.

After Han Li pondered for a moment, he patted the storage bracelet on his wrist with one hand, and a ball of green light immediately flew out, only to fall heavily onto the ground a moment later.

It was a two-zhang-tall giant ape puppet, lying prone on the ground on all fours, appearing as if it had been thrown quite hard by the anti-flight force.

Seeing this, Han Li raised an eyebrow, formed a hand seal with one hand, and pointed casually at the puppet.

The next moment, a "crack" sound rang out from the giant ape puppet's body, and it slowly crawled up, turned around with an expressionless face, and walked toward the palace gate in the distance.

Han Li himself stayed where he was without moving, but his eyes narrowed slightly, staring unblinkingly at the giant ape puppet's actions.

As a result, under his gaze, the giant ape walked to the front of the palace gate and, without the slightest hesitation, raised both hands and pressed them against the sides of the gate.

After a burst of green light flashed wildly on the puppet's body, the palace gate slowly began to move and was pushed open.

Han Li's expression was somewhat strange, appearing both pleasantly surprised and somewhat incredulous.

This gate was actually opened so easily; it was simply too unbelievable to be true.

Thinking this to himself, he suppressed the trace of doubt and excitement in his heart and hurriedly scanned inside the palace gate.

He saw that behind the gate was a plaza paved with green tiles, surrounded on all sides by railings made of translucent white jade.

And at the far end of the plaza was a tall, purple-gold main hall.

Looking from afar, there were three other side halls near this main hall, each only one-third the size of the main hall, surrounding it in a "pin" formation.

Besides these, behind the main hall, there were faintly visible small, low-lying pavilions and towers, which also seemed to occupy a vast area.

After a moment of hesitation, he urged the puppet with his spiritual sense.

The giant ape moved its body and swaggered into the palace gate first.

Han Li lifted his feet and slowly walked over as well.

A moment later, he was on the other side of the gate, having finally entered the palace and reached a corner of the plaza.

The plaza was not small, measuring a full five or six hundred zhang.

Under the control of his spiritual sense, the giant ape puppet headed straight for the center of the plaza, intending to cross the plaza directly toward the main hall on the opposite side.

Han Li followed behind, but always maintained a distance of twenty zhang from the puppet to prevent any accidents.

But after a short while, Han Li's expression tightened, as he discovered something was wrong.

Even though the plaza was only a few hundred zhang across, the giant ape puppet and he had been walking for such a long time, yet it still looked as if they hadn't reached the center of the plaza.

"An illusion array!" Han Li narrowed his eyes, suddenly made the puppet in front stop, and then turned his head to look behind him.

He saw that although he should have walked three or four hundred zhang away, the translucent white jade railing was right there, only a dozen zhang behind him.

It was as if he hadn't left the corner of the plaza far behind from the very beginning.

Han Li was secretly shocked in his heart, and without further hesitation, a blue light flashed in his eyes as he began to scan the entire plaza.

But wherever his spiritual eyes looked, everything was empty, and he didn't see the slightest abnormality.

Han Li's expression changed slightly, and his heart was startled.

To be unable to see through a mere illusion array even with his spiritual eye ability was something he had almost never encountered before.

However, thinking that the one who set up this restriction might be an immortal from the True Immortal Realm, it didn't seem too surprising that this illusion array was so miraculous.

But even so, Han Li had no intention of giving up just like that.

After taking a long breath, all the magic power in his body surged, and then it rushed straight toward his brow along his meridians.

In almost an instant, a mass of black Qi condensed at his brow, and after a flash, a translucent black eye emerged from the black Qi.

It was precisely the Destruction Dharma Eye that Han Li had been cultivating for hundreds of years.

This Dharma Eye had been nurtured in Han Li's body with spiritual liquid since the mortal world, and after so many years, it had long since spontaneously developed some mysterious and extraordinary abilities.

Although this eye was primarily based on spatial abilities, it also carried several types of abilities specifically for countering illusions and soul-bewitching techniques. It was just that the effect was naturally not as pure as his spiritual eye ability.

During a period of secluded cultivation on the Thunder Sound Continent, Han Li had inadvertently combined the Destruction Dharma Eye and the Bright Clear Spiritual Eye while casting a spell, and as a result, they fused into a new ability, the power of which far exceeded either of the two spiritual eyes.

However, while this ability was extremely powerful, the magic power consumed each time it was cast was truly significant.

Therefore, ever since he realized this ability, this was the first time he had used it in actual combat.

But recalling the circumstances of his initial attempt at this ability, he had some confidence in breaking the illusion array before him.

Immediately, he could be seen muttering to himself, his blue eyes gradually becoming bright and piercing, while the black Destruction Dharma Eye's pupil moved, and a strange black light swirled incessantly, as if a pitch-black gemstone were embedded in his forehead, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Suddenly, two blue beams and one black light pillar shot out from the three spiritual eyes almost simultaneously, and after a flash, they converged into one in front of Han Li, and then, as the spiritual light flickered, they actually fused into a black-blue light ball.

Blue on the outside and black on the inside, translucent and the size of a fist, it looked just like a giant eyeball.

"Break!"

Han Li did not hesitate to flick a sleeve toward the light ball.

A sheet of green glow flew out from his sleeve, flashed, and pounced onto the light ball, immediately disappearing into it without a trace.

The light ball's surface flickered with spiritual light, revealing black and blue runes of varying sizes, and it began to spin rapidly.

In an instant, the light ball shone brightly, and countless black-blue light threads shot out from it, firing in all directions.

These light threads looked as thin as hair, but they shot out incredibly fast, and in almost just a flash, they reached every part of the plaza, actually forming a giant black-blue net that covered the entire plaza underneath.

The next moment, a series of low, soft sounds issued continuously from all over the plaza. Where the silk net landed in the low air, clusters of light of various colors burst open one after another.

Suddenly, a strange spatial fluctuation rose into the sky, the void beneath the silk net twisted and deformed, and then the scenery in the center of the plaza blurred slightly, revealing a tall, white, misty light gate.
