Chapter 179: Breaking the Barrier

While the leaders of the various sects were discussing the steps to open the Forbidden Area, Han Li was still busy sizing up the ruthless characters of the various sects.

For some experts whose cultivation technique was at the peak of the thirteenth layer, Han Li's idea was to hide if he could, run if he could, and if it really didn't work, then strike from behind. He absolutely did not wish to have another great battle like the one with "Senior Brother Lu," leaving himself without a drop of magic power.

You must know, this place was completely different from last time; this time he was not facing one opponent, but a large group of red-eyed immortal cultivators. If he didn't keep some spare strength and maintain the power to counterattack at all times, he would definitely be one of the first to be eliminated.

Just as he was looking and pondering secretly, Han Li suddenly felt that someone was watching him. He was slightly startled in his heart and couldn't help but look toward the gaze he sensed.

A female disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain was looking at Han Li with some evasion. Seeing her delicate face, it was actually somewhat familiar.

Han Li was surprised in his heart and filtered all the women he knew in his mind. A slender figure floated up.

"It's her, the young girl who sold the Golden Bamboo Pen to me at the Tainan Society. How did she join the Spirit Beast Mountain and come to participate in this Blood-Colored Trial!" Han Li finally recognized the young girl who was even prettier than before, but he was a bit puzzled in his heart.

But the way she blushed easily, he still remembered vividly to this day, and he had a good impression of her!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile at the young girl.

The young girl clearly saw it very clearly, and her cheeks were covered with a blush in a "swish," still as easily shy as before!

A man with a thick beard stood behind the young girl. He seemed to notice the interaction between the young girl and Han Li, his face sank, and he suddenly said something to the young girl in a sharp voice. The young girl immediately turned pale, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Han Li's side again!

The man still wouldn't let it go, glared at Han Li fiercely with venomous eyes, his warning intent extremely clear.

Han Li frowned. It seemed the young girl's days in the Spirit Beast Mountain were not good. This thick-bearded man was one of the ruthless characters he had just noticed, with the cultivation of the thirteenth layer. Being targeted by such a person, the young girl must have suffered a lot.

However, Han Li considered himself not a member of the Spirit Beast Mountain, and once they entered the Forbidden Area, even if they weren't enemies, they would be enemies. Naturally, he didn't care about the other party's face, and suddenly made a face at the other party without caring.

Han Li's actions made the thick-bearded man's face bleed with anger, but he could do nothing to Han Li, so he had to turn his head and roar at the young girl a few times, causing the nearby Spirit Beast Mountain disciples to look sideways, most of them showing disdain for the young girl.

Han Li felt indignant and felt great pity for the young girl. However, because they were too far apart, he couldn't hear clearly what the thick-bearded man was saying.

In order not to let the young girl suffer more grievances, Han Li stopped provoking this brute who didn't know how to cherish the fairer sex. Otherwise, Han Li was confident he had enough means to make this person furious, yet unable to do anything.

At this time, the ancestors of the various sects finished their discussion, returned to their respective sect lineups, and then took the juniors into the air, flying toward the legendary Forbidden Area.

This time the time was very short. After flying for only a few hours toward the direction of the Yuanwu Kingdom border, they landed in front of a vast, boundless yellow soil slope. Except for piles of stones, not even a small blade of grass could be seen. Looking at it, everywhere was a yellow, hazy color.

"Could it be here?"

Han Li, like everyone else, was greatly surprised. This really didn't look like a place that could nurture heaven and earth spiritual objects.

Several Core Formation stage experts gathered together again, and then the burly expert from the Giant Sword Sect suddenly walked out alone, walked more than ten steps forward, and then stopped.

He extended his left hand, yellow light surged on it, grabbed the ground, and a yellow dragon-like mud flow was lifted up, condensing into a huge sword made of yellow mud in his hand.

His other hand's fingers gently wiped from the hilt to the tip of the sword, and a white light shone wherever his fingers passed. The mud sword changed into a gray-white color in an instant, becoming a heavy giant stone sword.

This mid-level magic technique of turning mud into stone made the disciples of the Seven Sects marvel and opened their eyes.

But the Giant Sword Sect expert who finished all this didn't stop there. Instead, he held the sword with both hands, sank his body, shouted loudly, and threw the stone sword out like a shooting star, shooting straight into the air in front.

Then a shocking scene appeared. The stone sword only flew dozens of steps away when it seemed to trigger something. After a sudden shock, it turned into powder. Then, large patches of green light surged in the void, coming overwhelmingly, reflecting everyone's skin into a green color.

While the disciples were trembling with fear, the green light churned violently for no reason, whistling and turning into countless wind blades, blowing wildly everywhere, forming a wind-blade wall that was impenetrable. Looking toward the two sides along the wind wall, they were all boundless, not knowing where they extended to, everywhere was the sound of green, hazy wind whistling.

It was believed that if anyone entered the wall, they would immediately taste the feeling of being sliced to death, being cut into thousands of pieces by the blades.

This was the restriction of this place. It was indeed shocking. It was unknown what kind of supernatural power the ancient cultivators had to set up such a huge and powerful magic array. Compared to the protective array of Huang Feng Valley, it was like a child's toy, not worth mentioning. Han Li sighed secretly.

At this moment, the Giant Sword Sect expert shook his head and turned back. The other leaders announced that the time had not yet come, telling the disciples to rest for a while before opening the Forbidden Area.

Just like that, every hour or so, the Giant Sword Sect person would do the same thing to test the strength of the restriction, until the fourth stone sword was thrown, when the green light and wind blades from the Forbidden Area clearly decreased.

Seeing this scene, the other six Core Formation stage cultivators flew out without prior agreement and stood together side by side.

Ancestor Li extended his hand, and a ruler-like item slowly emerged from his palm, then emitted silver light and shot out. The Daoist patted the back of his head, opened his mouth, and a green light an inch long sprayed out, growing with the wind and turning into a flying sword several feet long.

The other five people also had dazzling things flying out of their bodies: a pink ribbon, a dragon-shaped cane, a pitch-black giant sword, a long knife emitting red light, and a large seal flashing with yellow light.

Seven people, seven items reflecting each other, arranged into a circular ring, rushing directly toward the wind-blade array.

They were the magic treasures that these few people had only achieved after years of hard cultivation and tempering after entering the Core Formation stage.

The disciples of the various sects did not dare to be negligent. Under the orders of other Foundation Establishment stage seniors, they all stood behind the seven people, divided into seven columns, ready to enter the Forbidden Area at any time.

With a loud "rumble," the seven magic treasures and the wind blades clashed, various colors of light splashing and flying, and from time to time, strange whistling sounds were emitted, making the disciples watching from the side extremely nervous.

Ancestor Li's ruler spun non-stop, its silver light sometimes large and sometimes small, as if it were spiritual, smashing countless wind blades into powder.

The green flying sword transformed into a dragon more than ten feet long. Every time it slashed, it carried a strange whistling sound, shocking the soul.

The other five magic treasures also showed their supernatural powers. Especially the yellow seal of the Heaven's Gate expert, its momentum was the most magnificent. Every time it smashed down, it swelled to the size of a small mountain, and at the same time exploded with the sound of wind and thunder, but when it flew back, it shrank back to its original shape, but it seemed a bit clumsy and slow when flying.

Although the power of the seven magic treasures was shocking, compared to the wind-blade array that had weakened a lot, it was still extremely strenuous. Every step of pushing into the wind wall took a good while, and not long after, sweat appeared on the foreheads of all seven.

After fighting for three or four hours, the seven were sweating like rain, but the magic treasures they drove finally gained the upper hand, smashing a circular passage a foot high in the wind wall. The passage was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Enter quickly, we can't support it for long!" The Daoist shouted first, because his magic power was the shallowest among the seven, and he sweated the most.

The disciples of the Seven Sects did not dare to be negligent, all interweaving and flying into the passage in batches.

At this time, everyone was silent, their expressions gloomy. Everyone knew that once they entered the Forbidden Area, everyone would immediately become life-and-death enemies, and even fellow disciples would become unbelievable.

Han Li was in the middle-to-back position of the queue, in front was the Giant Sword Sect disciples, and behind was the Blade-Casting Dock people.

The passage was not long, a distance of twenty or thirty feet, passed in a flash. Han Li flew out of the exit, and before he could see the situation clearly, he felt a dizzying sensation, his eyes blurred, and he disappeared from the exit without a trace.
