Chapter 1754: Collapse

But a scene that startled Han Li appeared.

The moment the green light covered the puppet in front of him, the puppet suddenly flashed with intense light, emitting a dangerous aura.

Just by this aura alone, it forced the green light away.

Han Li was startled and, without thinking, flickered his figure, retreating with a series of afterimages.

After a few flashes, he appeared in the void outside the high platform.

In that instant, all nine puppets swung their silver spears, and astonishing silver light shot out, each slashing toward the nearest puppet.

After several muffled sounds, all nine puppets were split in two and burst apart.

The high platform was covered in the fragments of the exploded puppets, and the nine puppets vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Han Li was naturally quite regretful. He scanned the fragments of the puppets, pondered for a moment, and then shot around the high platform in a flash of light.

Under the sweep of the light mist, all the puppet fragments on the platform were swept away.

The light converged above the high platform, revealing his figure again.

Although these puppets were refined somewhat roughly, the materials used were indeed things he had never seen before. Han Li intended to keep them for research or other uses later.

After doing all this, he looked down.

The high platform was now empty, with nothing else left. But the huge starry sky map on the platform was preserved completely.

The illusion array of this map was powerful; Han Li had experienced it personally. Now, although his cultivation had greatly increased, he didn't dare to look at it for too long.

He took a deep breath, flipped his hand, and suddenly a pale white scroll appeared.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw it downward.

The scroll turned into a white light and fell, but at a height of ten or so zhang above the high platform, it paused and hovered in the low altitude.

Han Li formed a seal, chanted, and pointed solemnly downward.

"Puchi!"

The scroll unfolded, revealing a blank canvas several feet long.

Then, under the incantation, the scroll expanded crazily, and in the blink of an eye, it became the same size as the stone platform, hovering in the air like a white ribbon.

Han Li smiled slightly, stopped his incantation, and flicked his ten fingers downward one after another.

Instantly, spells shot out, vanishing into the blank scroll below without a trace.

The white ribbon flared with colorful light, and under the urging of the spells in the air, gorgeous light mist flowed on the blank scroll, appearing incredibly gorgeous and mysterious.

After a cup of tea's time, the light mist gradually disappeared from the scroll, finally vanishing into nothingness.

But the originally snow-white color had turned into a five-colored state.

Han Li beckoned with one hand.

The scroll flashed with light, flew up from the platform, and shrank rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it returned to its size of several feet.

On the originally blank canvas, a miniature pattern identical to the one below was printed.

Han Li had actually used a secret technique to copy the starry sky map from the stone platform.

The scroll rolled up, turning into a scroll emitting five-colored light. It trembled and shot toward the high sky.

In a flash, it merged into Han Li's sleeve and vanished.

With this complete copy of the starry sky map, he was confident he could study some tricks from it, or at the very least, it would be of great help to his understanding of illusion arrays.

In this way, this place was considered to have no more valuable things.

But Han Li still searched carefully once more, and after confirming there were no hidden things, he let out a long breath and turned into a green rainbow, shooting toward the door.

He had stayed in this Sumeru space for nearly a day and didn't want to linger here any longer.

"Boom!" A loud noise.

The giant screen placed alone in the hall suddenly burst open somewhere, and a ball of black light a zhang in size appeared on the screen, rotating rapidly to form a small vortex.

A sound of breaking air rang out, and a green rainbow shot out from the vortex. After circling once, Han Li's figure appeared in the center of the hall.

He glanced back at the screen, the third black Dharma eye between his brows slowly closed, and it vanished in a flash.

"It's a pity this Sumeru treasure has already been completely refined by someone else and cannot be collected by outsiders. If I could obtain this treasure, it would be of great use." Han Li whispered somewhat regretfully, scanning his surroundings.

As expected, Liu Shui'er and the other two were no longer here.

His expression was calm, and he didn't show any anxiety, but after pondering for a moment, he walked toward the hall door with large strides.

Having stayed in the Sumeru Cave Heaven for so long, he figured those two must have searched every part of the palace. There was no point in looking for them now; he just wanted to leave this place quickly and then find a place to meditate for a few days to fully recover his magic power.

But just as Han Li walked out of the hall door and wanted to let out a long whistle to contact Liu Shui'er and the other two, the ground suddenly rumbled with thunder, followed by a violent shaking that felt like the earth was moving and the mountains were swaying.

Han Li was startled, but before he could check anything, the sky suddenly darkened, and a large patch of pitch-black clouds drifted over, shrouding most of the sky.

Thunder and lightning raged in the clouds!

Streams of gray misty hurricanes rose from the ground in the distance like dragons, vanishing into the clouds in the sky.

Looking from afar, it was as if many giant pillars supporting the sky had appeared between heaven and earth, appearing exceptionally spectacular.

Han Li's expression became incredibly ugly.

Now, without checking anything, he could clearly sense that the heaven and earth spiritual energy here had instantly become chaotic, and all kinds of spiritual pressure filled the entire sky.

What shocked him even more was that many restrictive fluctuations appeared in the nearby void, flickering between strong and weak, appearing extremely unstable.

This was clearly a sign that the restrictions here were about to lose control.

Without thinking, Han Li flashed with green light and slowly flew into the sky, flying to a height of five or six zhang above the ground before hovering there motionless.

Although the flight-restricting power hadn't completely lost its effect, the restrictive power was less than half of what it had been originally.

In this case, low-altitude flight shouldn't be a problem.

In just this moment, the shaking of the ground became even more violent, and even the main hall behind him began to glow with a layer of purple light, flickering wildly.

In the pavilions behind the main hall, a ball of yellow light shot out from the roof of a room, and with a long whistle, it flew toward the front of the palace.

At the same time, a white light flashed from the side hall next to the main hall, flying out and shooting toward the same direction.

It was Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun.

They clearly hadn't expected this sudden change, and their faces carried a trace of panic.

Han Li's eyes twitched, and he didn't hesitate anymore.

With a flash of green light, he turned into a green rainbow and swept across the square in front of the main hall. After a few flashes, he reached the mountain path outside the hall door and shot downward, almost hugging the ground.

He had originally been worried that the suction on the mountain path was still there, hindering his descent. But after flying ten or so zhang, he was completely relieved.

Whether it was because of the spatial change or because the restrictions on the mountain path were originally only useful for those going up the mountain, there was no obstruction to his flight light at all. In an instant, the green rainbow flashed and reached the foot of the mountain.

Almost one after another, the flight lights of Shi Kun and Liu Shui'er arrived beside Han Li.

"What exactly is going on? Why does this space look like it's about to collapse? I had a heavy treasure that was almost in my hands." Shi Kun appeared, roaring with unusual shock and anger.

"Humph, and what about you? I had just broken the restriction of a secret room and was about to enter it." Liu Shui'er also said with no good temper.

Although the two didn't explicitly say who they were talking to, their gazes couldn't help but fix on Han Li.

"Why, do the two Fellow Daoists think this has something to do with me? I also just came out of that spatial restriction; how could I have done such a thing?" Han Li's expression sank; he naturally wouldn't take the blame for this.

"But..."

"If you have anything to say, say it when we get out. If we don't leave here, we'll all die without a burial place once the space collapses."

Shi Kun still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Shui'er first.

Hearing this, Shi Kun immediately fell silent. Han Li naturally wouldn't say anything more.

The three flew into the sky again, their flight lights joined together, and their speed increased by more than double.

In a few breaths, the three reached the transmission formation stone platform not far away.

Their figures flickered, and they walked into the transmission formation simultaneously.

Han Li raised one hand and cast a spell at the edge of the formation.

The formation hummed, and white light flared.

Han Li and the other two's figures flashed, and they were completely engulfed by the white light.

When the humming sound dissipated and the light converged, the transmission formation was already empty.

A green rainbow flashed and vanished. After circling in the high sky of several thousand zhang, Han Li's figure appeared.

Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun also appeared ten or so zhang away.

The three didn't say a word, gazing at the giant light hole below.

In this light hole, colorful light mist flickered continuously, rumbling sounds were endless, and the edges were expanding and contracting, wriggling, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Go! We can't stay here for long either. It will collapse completely below soon. Being rolled into a spatial vortex is equally dangerous." Han Li said expressionlessly, and without caring about Liu Shui'er and the other two's actions, he turned and flew away in a certain direction.

Shi Kun and the other two looked at each other, their expressions solemn, and without a word, they started their flight lights and followed Han Li closely.

With the speed of the three, they flew several thousand li away in a moment.

Just then, an earth-shattering roar came rolling from far behind them.
