Chapter 1704: Throwing a Mountain

Back to Chapter List
However, as his body was swept up by a cascade of five-colored light veils, the surrounding space instantly hardened into steel-like rigidity, and a tremendous pressure immediately pressed down upon him. Five purple electric serpents flashed past, then shot out with thunderous crackling sounds. Han Li found himself in grave peril. Yet, being no ordinary being, the pallor on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold gaze, and a sharp exhalation escaped his nostrils. A golden glow surged over his body, and once again, the image of his triple-bodied, six-armed form emerged. This time, however, the form was markedly different. It now shone brilliantly, as though coated with a layer of gold, resembling a divine golden statue—precisely the golden body form Han Li had recently cultivated. At this moment, just as he opened his mouth, a sphere of black light burst forth, swiftly transforming into a stream of black vapor that flowed into his golden body. One of the three heads of the Dharma Form suddenly had its once茫然 eyes brighten, glowing with an ethereal black aura rising subtly across its face. As it moved, its towering, golden body instantly interposed itself between Han Li and the front. Several purple electric arcs flashed swiftly toward it, but the golden form responded with a vigorous motion of its five arms. A series of deep, resonant booms followed, and five beams of golden light erupted from the palms, directly facing the arcs. The golden light immediately collided with the purple electric arcs. Though the purple arcs were formidable, they were nearly halved by the impact and the golden beams themselves vanished. Under these circumstances, Han Li merely needed to command the golden form to launch a second wave of attacks and would be safe. Yet the remaining electric arcs refused to grant the golden form any further opportunity to act. With a sudden "crack," the purple electric serpents surged forward, reaching astonishingly close, and struck with a powerful blow. But at the very moment of crisis, Han Li's entire body suddenly blurred, and his arms vanished completely from their original position. Instantly, five purple electric arcs trembled, and were caught mid-air by five golden hands that had materialized from the void with no prior warning. As the five fingers tightened, the arcs cracked with thunderous sounds and were abruptly torn apart. Countless electric filaments shot out, some of them striking directly upon the golden form of the avatar. Yet these filaments merely flashed and dispersed instantly, doing no harm whatsoever to the golden body. Meanwhile, the five pillars in the distance continued to resonate with thunderous rumblings, and soon five fresh electric arcs emerged, ready to be launched again. However, this brief delay proved sufficient for Han Li, who was momentarily encased within the five-colored light barrier. With his formidable physical strength and profound spiritual abilities, how could he truly be trapped by such a spell? Immediately, he spoke rapidly, muttering incantations, while the black magical aura on his body surged and flowed. His form suddenly expanded dramatically, and a thick, golden, coarse fur covered his entire body. With a flash of blue light in his eyes, two tusks emerged halfway from his lips. He had transformed into a colossal ape, standing over twelve zhang tall—blue-eyed, golden-furred, with a fierce, imposing appearance. Yet, in his clear, calm gaze, the original features of Han Li remained unmistakable, still retaining his usual composed expression. The celestial magical armor on his body, adapting to his growth, also expanded to match his new size, with the surface spines now reaching several chi in length, shimmering with an astonishing cold brilliance that made onlookers feel chilled to the bone. This was precisely the transformation technique of the Mountain Giant Ape from Han Li's newly refined Jingzhe Sect's cultivation method. As he took on the form of the giant ape, Han Li felt a surge of warmth radiating from his dantian, swiftly flowing through his meridians. His physical strength seemed to have increased by as much as forty to fifty percent. To be sure, Han Li's physical form had always been exceptionally strong, and now it had surged nearly by half—his terrifying power was truly beyond imagination. At the very next moment, the colossal ape he had transformed into immediately displayed its astonishing might. A low roar burst from the ape's mouth, and its two fluffy arms suddenly swept upward with powerful force. The five-colored light screens that had been restraining it immediately trembled violently and then shattered into fragments, allowing Han Li to regain his freedom. Yet, just as he had stabilized, a flash of five-colored light from farther away caused a sudden surge, rolling once more with relentless pressure, leaving Han Li no room to catch his breath. Without hesitation, the giant ape soared upward to the silver phoenix perched high above, gently pointing with one hand while simultaneously reaching out with the other toward the black mountain peak in the distance. The great phoenix emitted a clear cry, spun once, and then transformed into a massive fire ball, plummeting straight down—landing precisely upon the golden giant ape. Meanwhile, the black mountain peak shifted slightly, and in a flash, vanished into the void. A tremendous roar echoed, and a burst of silvery flame erupted near the giant ape, sending out waves of silvery fire. The five-toned glow of light that had just attempted to approach was instantly pushed back by the flames, unable to draw near the giant ape even an inch. Yet, deep within the fiery sea, the golden giant ape, with a single hand motion, caused a ripple in the space around him—within moments, a black mountain several dozen feet high materialized from the void and was effortlessly lifted by a furry palm, as if it were as light as a feather. Although the Yuanmagnetic peak had not yet reached its maximum size and had not fully released its weight, it still weighed approximately over ten thousand catties. When Han Li hurled it with sheer force, a sharp, piercing roar erupted in the air. The black mountain peak instantly transformed into a dark silhouette and shot forth, sweeping across the sky. Along its path, a swirling, milky hurricane surged, and as the peak passed through, a thick, luminous white trail unexpectedly emerged in the void. From a distance, the trail appeared to constantly twist and sway, radiating strong, rhythmic pulses of energy—like a spatial rift slowly taking shape. Clearly, the force Han Li exerted upon transforming into the giant ape was immense. Yet his target was none other than one of the five purple-gold pillars. Even as this pillar momentarily surged with electric arcs along its surface, releasing several powerful streams of purple arcs and dense mist to fend off the assault, the black mountain peak paid it no heed, maintaining its relentless momentum without a single pause. At that very moment, the black mountain surged through the purple electric glow intercepting the column's surface, crashing down with tremendous force. A flash of purple and black light rippled, and a thunderous roar shook the very ground! A brilliant, jagged beam of black, gray, and purple light erupted from the column's surface, shining so intensely it was impossible to look upon directly. Yet the blue luminescence in the eyes of the giant ape formed by Han Li instantly revealed the clear form within the light. Without hesitation, the ape raised his arm and, with a swift motion, extended a furry hand into the light, then quickly rotated it. "Pffft!" As the space around his palm rippled, a massive object flashed into view and settled firmly onto the giant ape's palm. It was precisely the black mountain that had just been launched earlier. Though still dark in appearance, the mountain bore no signs of damage whatsoever—this alone demonstrated the extraordinary resilience of the Yuanmagnetic Peak Mountain. And the giant ape moved with scarcely any pause; with a mighty roar, he shook his arm once more, hurling the mountain peak again with renewed force. This time, his target was the other purple pillar. Once more, the explosive sound erupted, and with a thunderous impact, the mountain peak struck the pillar squarely. A brilliant, stabbing light burst forth once again. At this moment, the glow of the first pillar had entirely faded, revealing its inner structure clearly. It was evident that the originally towering pillar, standing over ten zhang high, had lost nearly half of its upper section. Scattered around the base were numerous fragments—neither quite stone nor quite gold, but of a distinct purple hue. Though this pillar had been crafted through some unknown divine technique, its resilience could not compare with that of the Yuanmagnetic Peak Mountain, a marvel of nature. Indeed, the mountain itself was a rare, naturally formed wonder, inherently immeasurably strong, and further enhanced by the inclusion of an unknown gray-white stone, as well as a second refinement using the secret techniques of the True Immortal Realm. Even if Han Li had personally intended to destroy them, he would have been at a complete loss, able to achieve only gradual melting through the steady flow of spiritual fire. Moreover, the mountain had, at that very moment, absorbed the immense divine power Han Li had channeled through his transformed giant ape. Should the pillars still remain intact under such circumstances, Han Li would have immediately turned around and departed, unwilling to waste any further time. Thus, Han Li's golden-hair giant ape, wielding the Yuanmagnetic Peak as a weapon, launched it five times in succession, each strike reducing the five pillars to half their original length, until they could no longer be further damaged. With the five-colored light screen previously hovering above the herb garden now deprived of pillar support, it was swiftly consumed by the silver fire birds' repeated attacks and ultimately collapsed entirely. This restriction had thus been completely shattered through Han Li's sheer physical strength. Upon witnessing this, the golden-hair giant ape immediately pressed a hand seal, and a flash of golden light rippled across its body, followed by a gradual reduction in size, as its fur gradually receded. In the span of a moment, Han Li regained his original form within the luminous glow, fully dissolving the transformative effects of the Jingze Technique. He glanced over the remains of the columns, his eyes now subtly conveying a touch of astonishment. He had only recently fused the true blood of this mountain-giant ape, yet the transformed ape now displayed such remarkable abilities—far beyond his expectations. It seemed this transformation proved even more suitable for him than the other true spirit transformation techniques. For while the others merely granted him additional mystical powers or enhanced his ability to sense and channel the natural qi of the world, this transformation as a mountain-giant ape directly and significantly strengthened his physical prowess. Otherwise, upon realizing just how effective this transformation was, he would have immediately employed it to break the seal, avoiding the considerable peril he had previously endured.
