Chapter 468: Strange Ancient Treasures

No need to ask! Passing through this square passage would lead to that Extreme Wonder Illusionary Realm.

He carried the Great Expansion Art and had the Poluo Bead bracelet temporarily lent by Ji Yin; passing this hurdle would absolutely be an easy task.

Thinking of this, Han Li stopped paying attention to the passage and carefully studied the two ancient treasures in his hands.

If he didn't first figure out their functions, he wouldn't be able to use them skillfully when the time came.

First, with a flash of blood light, the cloak disappeared from his hand, leaving only the five copper rings connected in a string.

These five copper rings were about the thickness of an ordinary person's arm, with mysterious runes carved all over them, appearing extremely mysterious.

Han Li grabbed one of them with one hand and shook his wrist lightly; the radiance on the few copper rings changed incessantly, and faint phoenix cries could be heard.

A flash of brilliance moved in Han Li's eyes; he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly injected spiritual power into the copper rings through his five fingers.

At this moment, he didn't even blink, his face full of solemnity.

With a flash of radiance, the five copper rings in his hand actually vanished without a trace.

Han Li was taken aback, but immediately remembered something and suddenly raised his head to look above.

He saw the five copper rings floating not far above his head, appearing and disappearing, flickering like ghosts, appearing somewhat strange.

Han Li frowned, raised his hand, and a cyan magic seal was cast out.

The copper rings immediately spun around and suddenly struck the stone wall on one side.

With a few muffled "bangs," the wall remained unscathed after a flash of white light, and the five copper rings were bounced far away.

It seemed these copper rings were not used for direct attacks.

Han Li's expression didn't change; he beckoned with one hand, letting them fly back above his head, and then spat a mouthful of essence energy onto them without hesitation.

The copper rings suddenly expanded wildly, instantly transforming into five huge copper hoops, with light winding around them and runes floating, making it impossible to look directly at them.

Ring-type magic treasures were not used for direct attacks, so most were used for trapping enemies or defense.

Han Li had some insights on this point!

Glancing at the huge rings that had become astonishing in momentum, Han Li tilted his head and slowly spat out the word "Go."

Following this sound, the giant rings plummeted down with a "whoosh," and the five giant rings overlapped, trapping Han Li within them.

Then the huge rings spun in the void, their speed becoming faster and faster.

Amidst a blur, they formed a five-colored light curtain, completely protecting Han Li within it.

Han Li revealed a trace of a smile.

It seemed these copper rings indeed possessed defensive divine abilities; as for how effective they were, he would only be able to test it when defending against enemies.

Thinking this, Han Li flicked his finger. A magic seal struck the light curtain.

Instantly, the light curtain fell apart, reverting to the appearance of the huge rings.

But after a violent shake, the few copper rings flashed with radiance and vanished from his side again.

This time, Han Li unhurriedly extended a palm, and after a flash of five-colored radiance, five palm-sized copper rings appeared honestly in his hand.

Han Li stared calmly at the copper rings, a look of contemplation in his eyes, as if he were pondering something.

Not long after, a burst of obscure incantations came from Han Li's mouth, and the five copper rings vanished from his hand out of thin air, but the next moment they appeared on Han Li's limbs and neck, suddenly expanding their light and tightening.

Han Li lost his footing and fell down straight like a piece of wood.

Fortunately, he had been prepared in his heart, and after a divine sense was hurriedly transmitted, the copper rings immediately loosened.

After Han Li stood firm again, he rubbed his neck, which had been somewhat uncomfortable from the tightening just now, and a look of irrepressible excitement appeared in his eyes.

Using this ancient treasure to sneak attack and plot against others would truly be impossible to guard against.

Even with his powerful divine sense, he had only just sensed the abnormality the moment the copper rings trapped him, without any time to react at all.

Han Li believed that even if a Core Formation late-stage or even Nascent Soul stage cultivator were caught off guard, they would be highly likely to be successfully sneak-attacked by him.

Of course, how long these five copper rings could trap the opponent was hard to say.

Even so, the divine ability of this item was far beyond his original expectations, making him secretly happy in his heart.

Han Li satisfiedly put the copper rings into his storage bag and took out the dark red cloak again.

The testing of this ancient treasure was naturally much simpler.

Han Li put it on directly and injected some magic power into it.

Blood-colored light flourished, and a burning sensation appeared on Han Li's body, while at the same time, spiritual power surged wildly into the cloak uncontrollably.

Han Li was greatly startled and hurriedly cut off the magic power; the radiance on the cloak dimmed, and it returned to normal.

Han Li was stunned, took off the treasure on his body, flipped through it again, and furrowed his brows tightly.

A moment later, he put on the treasure again and carefully injected spiritual power into it slowly.

The same wild surge of magic power appeared again, but Han Li, who was prepared in his heart, naturally wouldn't panic; instead, he narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the strange state of the cloak on his body.

At this moment, the dozens of feathers on the outer layer of the cloak simultaneously transformed into long blood-colored plumes, and the entire cloak was shrouded in a thick blood light.

After staring for only a while, Han Li waved both hands and floated up slowly. After looking left and right, he vanished without a trace in a flash.

But the next moment, a muffled "boom" sound came.

A mass of blood light exploded on the stone wall on the right, and then Han Li's figure flew out, stumbling and swaying a few times before almost sitting on the ground.

His face was full of shock!

He hadn't used his full strength just now, but had only used the most ordinary levitation technique to move a little. But he had actually crashed into the wall as if teleporting. This made Han Li feel incomparably horrified!

Han Li tried a few different escape techniques with disbelief. As a result, without exception, after a flash, he was bumped dizzy by the wall, completely unable to control the forward movement of his figure.

It was as if once he put on this treasure, he only had this astonishing speed and couldn't slow down in the slightest.

Han Li stood in place, speechless with a face full of surprise.

This cloak was truly too strange! In terms of speed alone, it was absolutely a top-tier ancient treasure for saving one's life.

Han Li believed that with this kind of speed, even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator chased him, he could rely on this treasure to flee for a period of time, making the opponent unable to catch up for a while.

But the flaws of this cloak were equally not small.

Not to mention the huge consumption of magic power when using it, which was astonishing, even the out-of-control characteristic like a wild horse made Han Li regret it endlessly.

Clearly, this cloak was a defective top-tier ancient treasure; otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in the outer hall.

But regardless, this item seemed to be quite useful when fleeing for one's life.

Han Li put the cloak away with complex feelings, gave a few bitter laughs after lowering his head, then sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes to cultivate Qi.

In this short while, his magic power had been consumed quite a bit by this ancient treasure. He wouldn't walk out of the stone room like this.

Han Li rested for half a day.

Feeling that the consumed magic power had been replenished, Han Li opened his eyes, glanced at the square passage, and stood up solemnly.

He rubbed the Poluo Bead bracelet on his wrist and, after circulating the Great Expansion Art in his body, walked slowly into the passage.

Only after walking in did Han Li discover that this square passage was short enough.

After passing a right angle, he reached the outside of the passage.

After the light before his eyes brightened, an open-air corridor actually appeared. This corridor was incomparably magnificent and exquisite, but looking at it, it was endless, and he didn't know how far it went.

Outside the corridor were drifting white clouds and constant immortal music; looking faintly, there were also traces of jade pavilions, just like an existence in an immortal realm in the sky.

Seeing this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of Han Li's mouth, and he strode onto the corridor without hesitation.

Just as he stepped onto this place, Han Li raised the magic power on his body, and sure enough, it was just as others had said. This hurdle also couldn't use flying techniques and could only be walked on foot step by step.

Han Li didn't care about this matter, but instead stared deeply at the outside of the corridor.

Those lingering immortal sounds seemed to become clearer after he entered the corridor.

Han Li listened to the so-called immortal sounds with an expressionless face for a while. After a short while, a trace of mockery couldn't help but appear on his face.

Then, after clicking his tongue twice, he walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back.

Han Li walked without the slightest hint of anger, as if he were strolling leisurely in his own garden.

But the immortal sounds outside the corridor became increasingly loud, even more beautiful and pleasant, making one linger and stop upon hearing them. At the same time, white cranes with extremely beautiful body shapes began to appear in the white clouds outside; they raised their necks upon hearing the music and danced gracefully. It made one unable to resist paying attention.
