Chapter 1734

Upon seeing this gate, Han Li's expression stirred, but without hesitation, his figure moved, turning into a blurred phantom and disappearing from the spot.

The next moment, a green shadow flashed in front of the light gate, and Han Li had already entered it. The giant ape puppet's figure flickered, and it followed closely behind.

Almost the instant the puppet disappeared into the light gate, the black-blue light ball floating in the void hummed, its surface swirled with strange light, and it turned into a ball of blinding light and burst open.

The giant silk net that had originally covered the entire plaza shattered inch by inch without the slightest warning, turning into specks of spiritual light and dissipating.

Then, the next moment, that tall light gate flashed with white light, the nearby void twisted and blurred, and it also disappeared.

Everything in the plaza returned to exactly the same appearance as before.

However, Han Li and that giant ape puppet were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never come to this place at all.

At the same time, at the stone steps outside the palace gate, Shi Kun was only a hundred or so steps away from the summit, and he could already faintly see the wide-open palace gate.

And Liu Shui'er had also arrived at the several-hundred-step mark.

Because both of them already knew that Han Li had entered the palace, their expressions became calm instead.

Han Li opened his slightly narrowed eyes again and saw his current situation clearly.

Having come out of the light gate, he was standing right in front of that purple-gold main hall.

The main hall's gate looked ordinary and was also cast from purple-gold material, with only some rough, simple patterns engraved on the surface. However, there was a huge plaque seven or eight zhang long above the gate, with some golden ancient characters written on it. As Han Li stared intently, his heart couldn't help but stir.

Although he couldn't recognize these ancient characters, they gave him a familiar feeling similar to the Silver Tadpole Script; they should be the Golden Seal Script, no doubt.

It was a pity that there were very few people in the Spirit Realm who understood the Golden Seal Script, and he had never been able to learn it.

Otherwise, perhaps he could have discerned something from these few ancient characters.

Thinking this to himself, Han Li glanced at the tightly closed gate and urged the giant ape to the side with his spiritual sense.

The puppet took a big step forward, crossed a few steps, reached the main hall's gate, raised its hands, and pressed them against the door, preparing to push it open just like it had opened the palace gate earlier.

But this time, Han Li's plan was clearly not to be realized. It failed.

As soon as the giant ape's hands touched the seemingly ordinary gate, several low thunderous sounds suddenly came from the door, followed by a continuous rumbling, and an aura of destruction emanated from the door.

"Not good!"

Although he was more than ten zhang away from the gate, Han Li cried out in his heart upon seeing this scene, and without a second thought, a thunderclap sounded on his body, and a layer of cyan-white thunder armor appeared to protect him.

He then twisted his upper body; his lower body didn't move, but his feet flashed as he slid to one side.

The movement was silent, like a ghost.

Almost at the same time, the main hall gate flashed with dazzling purple light, and eerie purple electric arcs emerged, flashing and turning into dozens of purple snakes that shot out from the door.

The giant ape puppet, which was close at hand, was instantly submerged by the electric light and disappeared into a puff of green smoke.

And these purple electric arcs had no intention of stopping at all; with a flick, they actually rushed toward Han Li, who had dodged to the side, as if they possessed intelligence themselves.

Han Li's expression changed drastically.

If there were no anti-flight restriction, he could naturally use various miraculous escape techniques to dodge calmly. But now, without the ability to fly, even if his physical body were more agile, it would be absolutely impossible for him to truly dodge the lightning strike before him.

With his thoughts racing, he hurriedly raised a hand, and a small, translucent shield blocked his front.

With a flash of light, the small shield grew to a zhang in size.

Then, a mass of black Qi rolled over Han Li's body, and a terrifying demonic armor appeared amidst the cyan-white electric arcs, wrapping Han Li's body tightly.

It was precisely that restored Otherworldly Demonic Armor.

As the purple electric light shone brightly, dozens of purple snakes slammed into the giant shield in front.

This crystal shield could distort attacks and had displayed great power in Han Li's hands several times, achieving many merits.

But this time, the situation was very different.

These purple electric arcs were clearly very different from ordinary lightning; with the miraculous nature of the translucent giant shield, it only managed to forcibly split one-third of the arcs to the sides of the shield.

The remaining majority of the attack still struck it solidly.

As the purple electric light burst, a terrifying aura of destruction submerged the giant shield.

An unbelievable scene occurred.

The shield dissolved rapidly under the wrapping of the purple electric arcs, turning into transparent crystal liquid in the blink of an eye and falling into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Han Li was horrified in his heart, and without thinking, he formed a hand seal with one hand, and the thunder armor on his body immediately rumbled, turning into a cyan-white electric net that rolled out and intertwined with the purple electric arcs.

The electric arcs formed by the thunder armor were condensed by Han Li from the tribulation clouds in the sky, and their power was naturally extraordinary, far from being comparable to ordinary thunder and fire power.

But after the two-colored electric arcs intertwined and flashed wildly, the cyan-white color immediately shrank and disappeared, actually being swallowed up completely by the purple thunder arcs, which instead made the purple light shine even more brightly.

Han Li's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his sleeves in front of him again; the sound of thunder rose again, and thick golden electric arcs were about to spring out.

But this action was clearly a bit late; those purple electric arcs suddenly condensed into several bowl-thick purple bolts, and with a flash, they slammed into the Otherworldly Demonic Armor on Han Li's body.

With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise, Han Li's figure stumbled, and his entire body was wrapped in purple lightning.

But he immediately let out a low, shocked and angry shout, and the demonic armor on his body expanded; the black patterns on its surface appeared as if they had come to life, turning into dense black runes that collided with the purple electric arcs.

These seemingly inconspicuous runes had power far exceeding imagination; upon contact with the purple electric arcs, they both burst open, turning into gusts of black-purple, terrifying, strange wind that danced wildly around Han Li.

When Han Li stabilized his feet and straightened his figure, not only did the purple electric arcs disappear into thin air, but the strange wind also dissipated.

Han Li took a long breath and looked at the Otherworldly Demonic Armor on his body, secretly feeling lucky in his heart.

If he hadn't restored this demonic armor beforehand, even if the unexpected attack couldn't have truly killed him, suffering a heavy injury would have been truly unavoidable.

But even so, he looked dusty and disheveled, appearing truly quite wretched.

Han Li sighed and looked at the pool of translucent liquid on the ground, feeling even more regretful in his heart.

That crystal shield had been destroyed to such a state; naturally, there was no possibility of repairing it anymore.

Glancing at the main hall gate that had returned to calm, Han Li's eyes flickered, revealing a look of hesitation.

Since the main hall gate was set with such a powerful restriction, there must be something valued by the ancient immortals left inside. But the restriction was so terrifying that even if he could truly break it, it would definitely not be something he could do in a short time. And if he were to be delayed here for such a long time, waiting for Shi Kun and the other to arrive, he might end up doing the work for someone else. It was truly not worth the loss.

Having made up his mind, Han Li did not hesitate anymore; he immediately turned his figure and walked along a stone path nearby toward the nearest side hall.

He figured that even if there were restrictions there, they would definitely not be as terrifying as this place, and he should have a chance to enter.

Of course, while moving quickly, he shook his sleeve, and a green light flew out, releasing another giant ape puppet.

Because of the previous lesson, this puppet was released almost touching the ground, so it landed steadily.

Under Han Li's urging, the second puppet also walked toward the side hall to the side.

Han Li followed closely behind with an expressionless face.

Moving along the stone path under his feet, no other accidents occurred, and Han Li successfully arrived in front of the side hall.

This side hall looked only one-third the size of the main hall, but both its style and the materials used were exactly the same as the main hall, and even the side hall's gate was only slightly smaller, with a plaque written in Golden Seal Script on it as well.

Looking at the seemingly ancient side hall gate, Han Li's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. After a moment of thought, his figure flickered and he retreated a distance, stopping only after he was a full forty zhang away from the side hall.

Then, he raised a hand, and several strange talismans appeared in his hand, which he quickly patted onto his body.

Several protective shields of different colors immediately appeared one after another.

Han Li then secretly formed a hand seal with his hands in his sleeves, and a low rumbling sound was emitted; golden electric arcs immediately began to flicker in and out of existence.

After making all necessary preparations, Han Li urged the puppet with a solemn expression.

The giant ape immediately moved forward, raised its two thick arms, and pressed its hands directly against the door.

Han Li couldn't help but hold his breath.

With a "creak," the two doors slowly opened. This gate actually had no restrictions at all.

Seeing this, Han Li was naturally overjoyed. However, for the sake of caution, he did not act immediately, but instead controlled the puppet to walk in first.

After the giant ape puppet walked into the hall and remained unharmed, he finally felt truly relieved.

Immediately, spiritual light flashed on his body, and the protective shields formed by those talismans instantly collapsed and dissipated. At the same time, after his hands quickly clenched into fists, the golden electric arcs in his sleeves also disappeared silently.

He walked forward quickly, heading straight for the side hall gate.

When Han Li truly walked into the side hall, the giant ape puppet stood inside the door to the side, waiting there without moving.

Scanning the inside of the hall quickly, he saw almost everything there, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He saw that directly in front of the hall, there was a huge offering table as white as jade.

On the table stood a purple-glowing shrine, inside which light flickered, and a vague, indistinct statue was faintly visible.

And facing the direction of the statue, hundreds of milky-yellow prayer mats were arranged, while a green incense burner was placed at each of the four corners of the hall.

A faint scent of sandalwood filled the entire hall.
