Chapter 1748: Armored Soldiers

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared in Liu Shui'er's eyes. She also raised one hand, releasing a verdant green ring.

The ring hummed and immediately transformed into a ball of green light, shooting toward the other side of the hall.

The green light flickered, similarly sweeping up the weapons and armor into it.

In this way, the entire hall, apart from the solitary screen, was left with nothing else.

After the two scanned the entire hall with their divine sense, they found no other hidden items.

Without further hesitation, they hurried out of the hall.

To them, Han Li being in a strange space might actually be a favorable thing. After all, there might not necessarily be treasures inside, and he might even be temporarily blocked or trapped by some powerful restriction.

With no one competing for the treasures in the other side halls and that vast expanse of pavilions, they would surely have great gains.

Thinking this, Shi Kun felt calm. After a brief discussion with Liu Shui'er outside the hall door, they changed direction, each heading toward a different side hall.

In the nameless space of the screen.

Han Li had already walked to the front of the giant gate. Raising both hands, a five-colored cold flame and a gray misty glow surged from his palms, continuously striking the giant gate in front of him.

The gold and silver runes on the gate transformed into a sheet of gorgeous light, steadily resisting the attacks of the two abilities.

Under the flickering gray light and cold flames, the light was continuously pierced and dissolved, but the runes emerging from the gate seemed endless, immediately manifesting more light to swarm forward.

He drove the two abilities for a good while, but they had no effect on the restrictions on the gate.

Seeing this, Han Li's brows furrowed, and he withdrew his spiritual light, stopping the abilities.

Instead, he rubbed his hands together and released them toward the opposite side.

"Boom!" A thunderclap!

Two golden arcs as thick as bowls shot from his palms simultaneously, flashing and striking the light on the giant gate.

After an earth-shattering roar, the golden arcs exploded completely.

A ball of blinding electric light instantly engulfed most of the giant gate.

Only a moment later, the golden electric light converged, revealing the situation inside once more.

The giant gate was still flickering with light, completely unharmed. Such a sharp strike had not caused much impact.

Han Li's expression sank.

Before entering this place, when he had circled behind the screen, the Dharma Eye of Destruction in his body had suddenly stirred, almost losing control.

If not for that, it would have been difficult for him to discover the spatial restriction entrance on the screen.

As a result, he had been moved to strike the screen with the Dharma Eye of Destruction, which had truly broken the restriction and allowed him to enter easily.

Although he did not know where this place was, nor whether there were truly any treasures behind the gate, the Sumeru Cave Heaven itself was already a rare treasure in the Spirit Realm.

It stood to reason that whatever the immortals wanted to store or hide here must be of great importance.

Therefore, even knowing the gate's restrictions were unusual and that Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun outside might have other plans, he remained here, with no intention of leaving.

However, having used the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, Five-Pole Cold Flame, and Evil-Warding Divine Thunder in turn, none had been able to do anything to the restrictions on the gate.

This gave him a massive headache!

He pondered for a moment before finally opening his mouth and spitting out a ball of silver flame.

After rolling, the flame transformed into a Spirit-Devouring Fire Bird in the silver light.

Han Li formed seals with both hands and flicked more than a dozen spells at the fire bird.

The spells flashed and vanished into the fire bird's body.

Instantly, the bird raised its neck and let out a clear cry, its size swelling to a massive size of a zhang.

The silver giant bird spread its wings and charged aggressively toward the gate.

Before it even hit, silver light flashed on the fire bird's body, and countless crystalline fire feathers shot out, causing the gold and silver light on the gate to tremble violently.

"Boom!" The giant silver bird plunged into the light, its silver flames flaring up.

As soon as the gold and silver light touched the Spirit-Devouring flames, it boiled like water.

Wherever the flames rolled, the light dissipated and dissolved. Even though the runes emerging from the gate never stopped, they clearly thinned out rapidly.

Seeing this, Han Li felt a surge of joy.

But then, a low shout came from his mouth, and black light flowed over his body. His figure swelled several times, and golden fur grew all over him, transforming him directly into a golden giant ape with bared fangs.

It was the giant ape transformation Han Li had used not long ago.

With a flip of his hand, the black mountain peak transformed from the Yuan Magnetic Extreme Mountain appeared in his furry palm.

Blue light flashed in the giant ape's eyes, and as he swung his arm, the mountain, several zhang in size, flew out with a roar.

A hurricane instantly formed along the mountain's path, howling.

With the Yuan Magnetic Extreme Mountain's own weight and the giant ape's divine strength, the power of this throw was imaginable.

The thin layer of light was instantly torn apart by the mountain, which slammed solidly into the black giant gate.

An earth-shaking sound rang out!

A black halo exploded from the gate!

The nearby void distorted and deformed, presenting visible circular white ripples. Then, swallowed by the black halo from behind, they completely vanished into the darkness.

Seeing such power from his own strike, Han Li felt a chill and hurriedly retreated a few steps. Black energy flashed on his body, and a ferocious black armor appeared on the giant ape's body.

It was the Heaven-Extinguishing Demon Armor!

The black halo finally flickered and dissipated.

Han Li beckoned, calling the Yuan Magnetic Extreme Mountain back into his hand, then narrowed his eyes and looked forward intently.

As a result, he was filled with astonishment.

The middle part of the black giant gate in front of him had caved in like the bottom of a pot by a full zhang, its shape identical to a corner of the Yuan Magnetic Extreme Mountain.

But even though the gate had been deformed by such a violent strike, it had not shattered or been destroyed, and amidst the flickering gold and silver runes, it was slowly beginning to return to its original form.

He didn't know what material this gate was refined from; it had such strong resilience! It seemed he had to use that move.

Han Li sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Without further hesitation, black light flashed on his body, and he dispelled the giant ape transformation, returning to human form. But immediately, he formed a seal with one hand, and golden light flared from his body.

Scales like red gold appeared on his skin, and his face was vaguely shrouded in golden mist.

He reached behind his head with one hand!

Instantly, a golden shadow flashed out, revealing a three-headed, six-armed golden Dharma form.

The Dharma form's six arms moved simultaneously to form a seal, its surface immediately glowing with bright golden light, solidifying into a golden body.

The next moment, one of the golden body's arms reached into the void in front of it, and a golden broken blade appeared in its hand.

It was the Heaven-Mysterious Broken Blade!

Han Li chanted, and as strange light flowed over the golden body's surface, dense runes appeared, all surging into the broken blade in its hand.

Golden light flashed on the broken blade, and after a slight blur, the originally broken half of the blade manifested. At first, it was somewhat blurry, but as the golden runes were injected, it became indistinguishable from the rest in the blink of an eye.

The golden body shook the blade lightly, and a circle of golden light rippled out, sweeping across most of the nearby void in an instant.

As the golden light swept through, the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the nearby air boiled and rolled.

In an instant, countless five-colored light spots emerged from the air, then flew toward the golden blade like moths to a flame, vanishing without a trace.

The golden blade emitted a pleasant, clear sound.

"Slash!"

Han Li suddenly stopped his incantation and spat out, his killing intent soaring.

The golden Dharma form immediately held the golden blade horizontally and slashed down at the giant gate not far away.

A brilliant blade light flashed out.

At first, it was only a foot long, but after flying a few zhang, it swelled to a zhang in size.

Like a dreamlike golden moon, the golden blade light slashed silently onto the black giant gate.

The gate, which had seemed indestructible, flashed with black light where it was slashed, and without the slightest warning, it split in two, falling into the gate as two pieces.

Han Li was overjoyed. Without a second thought, he withdrew the golden Dharma form and shot forward.

With a flash of his afterimage, Han Li passed through the broken gate and entered inside.

As soon as he appeared, he scanned his surroundings, his powerful divine sense sweeping out.

As a result, Han Li's expression became extremely astonished.

The world behind the gate was merely a small square with flashing green light in the air, surrounded by gray barriers. Apart from the giant gate he had entered through, there were no other portals.

The entire square was empty, save for a strange circular high platform in the center, which vaguely seemed to have something on it.

Han Li withdrew his divine sense, his pupils shrinking as he looked at the high platform, and he walked over with large strides.

A moment later, he arrived near the high platform, flickered to the edge of the platform, and scanned it.

The high platform was not small, covering more than thirty zhang. On the ground, an exquisite pattern was engraved, depicting the sun, moon, and stars, all lifelike, covering the entire platform.

In the center of the pattern sat a verdant green Taishi chair, appearing exceptionally imposing.

Besides this, on the edge of the platform stood nine silver objects, each a zhang tall, standing there motionless.

They were nine silver armored soldiers holding long spears, fully clad in armor.

Apart from a pair of pitch-black eyes, not a single inch of skin was exposed. They looked like dead objects, either puppets or statues.

But the posture of these soldiers seemed somewhat strange. They were not holding the spears with both hands; instead, one hand was placed in front of their chest in a seal-forming gesture, while the other hand gripped the middle of the spear, pointing the tip straight toward the high sky.

All nine silver armored soldiers had this identical posture.
