Chapter 2257: Fierce Battle
"Boom!" The entire abyss seemed to flip over!
The surrounding seawater disappeared completely. Instead, the sky above was filled with pitch-black ink-like clouds, while the ground below was gray and misty, with faint points of white light flickering, as if the ground were covered in stars.
Ghostly wails rose all around, and after gusts of cold wind rolled by, the points of white light rolled toward the sky.
Baohua and the others focused their gaze and were all greatly startled.
These points of white light were actually skull heads, their eyes and mouths flashing with white ghostly fire. In such dense numbers, they looked terrifying and astonishing.
"This is also a Spiritual Domain!"
At the same time these skull heads appeared, Han Li instantly felt the void around him tighten, and a feeling of extreme danger descended upon him, but in reality, no other anomalies occurred.
However, after he scanned Baohua, he revealed a look of realization.
At this moment, Baohua was rapidly forming hand seals, her jade face filled with solemnity.
The pink flower petals that had originally covered a thousand mu of light had now shrunk a thousand times, only a mu in size, shrouding herself and Han Li and the others within.
The pink flower petal phantoms, after the spiritual domain shrank, became crystalline and bright. The strange fragrance emitted from within increased several times, and their flying speed greatly increased, protecting everyone like snow dancing in the sky.
But outside this flower domain, the Mother of Ming Insects' massive body was no longer visible; instead, there were only the shadows of those white bone skull heads.
After they spat pale flames and collided with the pink flower petals, bizarre fluctuations erupted, as if two different powers, water and fire, were clashing silently.
But every collision caused Baohua, who was in the center of the flower domain, to turn a shade paler.
After a moment's work, the woman was covered in sweat, and the divine light in her eyes began to dim.
Seeing this, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.
"Brother Han, although I have already shrunk the spiritual domain, I cannot hold on for long like this," Baohua said rapidly, a look of tension appearing on her face.
"I understand. Let me try to break it. I don't believe it can unleash a true Profound Heaven Spiritual Domain. This is not the Immortal World!" Han Li replied in a low voice. After instructing Daoist Crab, he suddenly rolled on the ground, transforming into a giant golden ape several dozen zhang tall.
With a shake of the golden ape's shoulders, it transformed into a ferocious three-headed, six-armed appearance. After its six giant hands clenched into fists, it let out a low roar and smashed fiercely toward the outside of the domain.
Golden light flashed! Six light balls the size of heads shot out from the six palms simultaneously. After a flash, they appeared outside the flower domain and exploded amidst the numerous white bone skull heads.
After a heaven-shaking explosion, the six light balls transformed into golden light rays that rolled and dissipated.
All the white bone skulls swept by the golden light rays actually transformed into ashes one after another.
Han Li's strike had forcibly swept out a blank space outside the flower domain.
Baohua felt the law power surrounding the Profound Heaven Flower Domain loosen, and a trace of joy appeared on her face.
Unfortunately, this joy had just appeared when it immediately froze the next moment.
In the empty void just now, points of white light appeared, and the dense swarm of skull heads appeared again, each one exceptionally furious, spitting pale flames and clashing with the golden light rays again, their aura seeming even stronger than before.
"Indeed immortal and indestructible, but what about this!" Seeing this, Han Li showed no strange expression. Instead, he muttered, then formed hand seals with one hand and pointed at the void opposite.
"Boom!" With a sound, the golden light rays shattered and transformed into countless golden runes that gathered together, directly transforming into a golden vortex a zhang in diameter.
The heaven and earth origin energy shook violently, and the vortex spun frantically. After Buddhist sounds, a terrifying suction force rolled out, forcibly sucking in a large number of skull heads nearby.
Although these white bone skulls would appear again in their original places after a flash, and their auras seemed to strengthen a bit more, the suction force in the vortex was also endless, continuously expanding bit by bit.
In this way, no matter how many skull heads reappeared, they were all sucked in and forcibly ground to pieces.
"Eh, Xuanyuan Divine Light... No, it's not, it's just an imitated divine ability. Hehe, if it were truly that divine light, I might fear it a bit, but a mere fake? Destroying it is just a matter of flipping my hand!" A charming laugh from the Mother of Ming Insects rang out in the void.
Fluctuations arose in the void, and a black rune shot out. After a flash, it submerged into the golden vortex, and a law power instantly shrouded everything beneath it.
"Puchi!" With a sound!
The golden vortex, which had originally expanded to nearly ten zhang in diameter, shrank rapidly after sucking in the black rune, and finally transformed into points of golden light that vanished into the void.
"Time Law!"
Han Li's expression became somewhat ugly.
The opponent's law power could almost restrain all law powers of the same tier, which made him feel very tricky for a time.
At the same time, Baohua and Daoist Crab were not idle either. One frantically urged magic power to support the flower spiritual domain to resist the opponent's Profound Heaven Domain.
The other waved its giant pincers frantically, and giant lightning balls rained down toward the sky, causing the gray giant net that had been unleashed by the Mother of Ming Insects from the beginning to be unable to truly fall.
This giant net was unknown what kind of great divine ability it was condensed from, and the crystalline gray threads emitted an incomparably terrifying aura. Although Daoist Crab had almost urged the lightning power to the limit, this net remained steady and undamaged amidst the violent lightning, only being held up by the fierce lightning light and unable to fall.
Neither of them used other treasures or magic tools, clearly knowing that facing such a great enemy, ordinary treasures were useless, and it was better to use source divine abilities directly.
Han Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly said to the void in the distance:
"Your excellency's Time Law is powerful, but I don't know how many times it can be unleashed. I don't believe your excellency can use this heaven-defying divine ability without limit."
As soon as he finished speaking, the six-armed giant ape he had transformed into waved its arms again in a blur, and countless golden fist shadows struck out like a gale, exploding amidst the skull sea.
As countless golden runes rolled and condensed, they conjured over a dozen golden swirling vortices in one breath, and with a boom, all the vortices began to spin crazily.
A cold snort!
After black light appeared in the void, a dozen black runes shot out simultaneously, accurately hitting all the vortexes.
The same scene occurred.
The golden vortexes vanished silently after a flash.
But Han Li was expressionless. The giant ape's fist shadows were like mountains, and more vortexes condensed amidst the skull heads, beginning to spin without ceremony.
"Junior, how dare you!" The Mother of Ming Insects finally couldn't help but let out a sharp cry.
Black runes no longer appeared, but all the white bone skull heads let out a strange whistle simultaneously, and after blurring, they gathered together, merging into human-shaped skeletons a hundred zhang tall.
Their surfaces were covered in countless skull heads, and their expressions were painful and twisted, making one's scalp tingle at a glance.
There were several hundred of these giant skeletons. Under the frantic suction of the golden vortexes, they formed hand seals with both hands, and faint crystal light flowed on their bodies, standing steadily in place, seemingly unaffected.
What was even more bizarre was that after these skeletons let out a cackling laugh, a strange wind rolled up on their bodies, and amidst rolling gray-white runes, they transformed into white bone armored soldiers wearing crystalline bone armor and holding white bone giant forks.
Under the infusion of the spirit domain's power, these giant armored warriors possessed extremely powerful auras, seemingly no less than those of ordinary Great Ascension stage cultivators. After a roar, they simply transformed the giant forks in their hands directly into streaks of eerie white light and threw them into those vortices.
Muffled sounds erupted!
The golden vortexes expanded and contracted, and actually exploded one after another. As for those giant bone skeletons, after grabbing at the void with one hand, the giant bone forks appeared in their hands again, and they threw them fiercely again without hesitation.
This time, the target was Baohua's Profound Heaven Flower Domain.
Seeing this, Baohua's face turned pale, but suffering from supporting the entire spiritual domain, she was unable to spare any effort.
But Han Li, having witnessed the terrifying power of these bone forks breaking the golden vortexes, how could he let them succeed so easily?
Emerald light appeared in the giant ape's hand, and the Profound Heaven Slaying Spirit Sword appeared silently. After a rapid wave, a dozen green lines slashed out in one breath.
"Boom!" The void trembled, and the green lines and those bone forks vanished simultaneously between the two spiritual domains, one large and one small.
However, this strike consumed quite a bit of Han Li's magic power, but the next moment, his face turned somewhat blue.
Those white bone armored soldiers waved their arms again, and bone forks condensed again, and their auras surged again, seemingly having increased by a large chunk.
Black light flickered slightly at the tips of those bone spears, and faint traces of law power permeated from them.
"Brother Han, be careful, I will help you. Even a Profound Heaven Spiritual Domain cannot truly reverse the laws of heaven and earth. I estimate this is the last wave of attacks the opponent can make. As long as we take this wave of attacks, the opponent's spiritual domain should exhaust all its power and be unable to maintain it," Baohua said, a trace of horror flashing across her eyes, but she shouted loudly to remind him.
The moment the words left her mouth, a ferocious look flashed across her face. Suddenly, she flipped one hand, and an earthy-yellow nail appeared—it was the Earth Emperor Nail.
Baohua grabbed the nail with one hand, and her arm blurred, actually inserting it lightning-fast into the branch of the giant flower tree supporting the entire spiritual domain, and a dazzling yellow light erupted.
The giant flower tree, which had been withered due to excessive spiritual power consumption, instantly emitted an incomparably strong vitality upon contact with the Earth Emperor Nail. As crystal light flowed through its branches and leaves, it actually turned emerald green again, and its volume expanded by a small half.
