An even more strange scene unfolded. The five translucent, shimmering swords flashed with a radiant glow, and a ripple of fundamental laws surged forth, causing the two mountain peaks to tremble before suddenly shooting backward. As the roar erupted once more, the two peaks appeared hazy above Han Li's head and then crashed down upon him with fierce determination. Despite Han Li's continuous efforts to maintain contact through his spirit awareness, he could not communicate with his two treasures to halt them—effectively severing all connection between himself and the two towering mountains. Han Li's heart stirred with alarm, yet his expression remained unchanged. Suddenly, the great ape that had transformed into him raised both massive hands and gently parted his five fingers, then lightly struck the two distant peaks. At the very instant his hands made contact, silver light shimmered within them, and successive layers of silver patterns emerged, stacking and overlapping into more than a dozen layers. A thunderous roar echoed twice—two colossal impacts! Two whirlwinds surged upward before the great ape, and the surrounding void trembled as if caught in a mighty sea surge. Yet, under the force of two astonishing surges, the two towering peaks halted abruptly, then vanished into the void with a flash of silver light. As soon as Han Li's hands made contact with the two peaks, his spirit instantly reestablished connection with the two treasures, and without hesitation, he summoned them back immediately. At that moment, the elderly man of the Yi surname still maintained his five crystalline swords hovering before him, preserving his original posture motionless, seemingly unwilling to launch any further attacks at this opportune moment. Han Li's great ape form lifted its head once more toward the elder, and suddenly uttered a remark that caused the elder's expression to subtly shift: "Your mastery of the Time Technique is indeed remarkable. However, it appears you've had to rely on external assistance to summon this power—otherwise, you would not have employed it so reluctantly." "Hmph," the elder replied, "What is the Time Technique but a grand mastery? Even if you only wield its most basic aspects, it is enough to secure an unassailable position." The elder instantly recognized it—hadn't he encountered this kind of law-based power before somewhere? The avian-headed monster formed from the elder flashed a fierce gaze in his eyes, then coldly countered, "Indeed?" But if you think that this amount of time-skill is sufficient to rely upon, you are entirely mistaken." As soon as the words were spoken, the giant ape slammed both hands against his chest. A resplendent purple-gold glow surged over his body, and his form instantly expanded in size, swelling to a hundred zhang in a matter of moments. Even more astonishingly, when he opened his mouth, a flash of misty light erupted, and several colorful luminous spheres burst forth. These spheres spun around the giant ape, then emitted clear, resonant cries and low roars, releasing powerful energies that shimmered and transformed into vivid, majestic phantom forms—those of a celestial dragon, a colorful phoenix, a green phoenix, a thunderous pheasant, and others. The giant ape himself then raised his head and let out a long, resonant roar. Layer upon layer of purple-gold scales emerged on his body, and at the shoulders and along his sides, the forms gradually blurred before forming two additional fierce heads and four long, purple-gold arms. When all three massive heads, each with six eyes, opened their eyes simultaneously, a radiant glow flashed across their foreheads, and each of them also sprouted a short, silvery Upon learning that his opponent could wield the power of time, Han Li no longer hesitated and immediately activated the Buddhist Saint's True Magic Technique, manifesting the Nirvana Saintly Body and pushing it to its absolute peak. In his threefold Nirvana transformation, Han Li's physical form had grown so formidable that even a fully perfected being would find it terrifying. With three heads smiling broadly, his six arms blurred into a single motion, suddenly materializing countless phantom figures that surged forward in a powerful assault. At that instant, a roar of wind erupted! A dense array of golden fist-images materialized in the void, flashing rapidly before blurring and vanishing into nothingness. Next, waves of disturbance surged around the elder of the Yi surname, golden fist-images cascading out in layers, coalescing into radiant golden spheres that surged toward the center with great force. The elder of the Yi surname was startled and alarmed, emitting a sharp, piercing cry from his avian-like head. With both hands swiftly pressing a series of intricate hand seals, five crystalline swords before him began to spin rapidly. After the blur, the five crystalline swords merged into a shimmering, multicolored luminous screen that fully encased the elder from head to toe. As the subtle glyphs dispersed, the previously vanished fluctuations of law once again emerged. Instantly, within a radius of several dozen feet centered on the elder, all the martial forms that appeared came to a sudden halt in mid-air, yet the subsequent attacks continued to strike upon the earlier ones without disruption. Outside the multicolored screen, a series of thunderous booms erupted, and clusters of golden light instantly burst into violent splashes, forming waves of intense impacts that surged violently toward the screen. However, as these attacks approached the multicolored screen, they all froze and remained suspended in mid-air. For a moment, it appeared as though an invisible, circular wall had formed outside the screen, firmly blocking both the golden martial forms and the splintered attacks from penetrating beyond. The power embodied in the golden fist waves was truly astonishing, and under the vigorous swings of the giant ape's six arms, the sheer volume far exceeded anything imaginable. Within just a few breaths, the cascading shockwaves that erupted around formed a series of brilliant golden surges, relentlessly pounding everything at the center. A terrifying spiritual pressure, radiating from the center, was rapidly gathering, one that even the elder named Yi found himself unable to ignore. His face now turned slightly pale. At that moment, the five-colored light screen began to tremble subtly, and the solid golden fist images surrounding it flickered unstably, emitting crisp, cracking sounds. This time, the elder could no longer remain indifferent. With a low cry, he changed his hand gestures, and the waves emanating from the screen before him suddenly contracted, reducing its coverage area by nearly half, while simultaneously exhaled several clots of vivid green, pure blood. After a brief flash, the vital essence transformed into several jade-green glyphs, one of which gradually faded and disappeared into the luminous screen. A hum followed, and the previously trembling screen instantly stabilized. The surrounding fragmented void also solidified, restoring normalcy and effectively holding back the pressing golden waves that had been converging on it. The elder named Yi, observing this, finally exhaled a sigh of relief, yet continued murmuring without pause. Subtle glyphs began to emerge from within the screen, faintly suggesting the reformation of five sword silhouettes. Yet on the other side, the colossal ape formed by Han Li suddenly halted the motion of one of his arms. After a swift rotation, a deep green sword materialized in his hand, bearing several faint silver ancient characters engraved upon its surface. A slight tremor in his wrist! Instantly, a shimmering crystalline glow spread across the surface of the green wooden sword, and the ambient qi throughout the surrounding several miles trembled before rushing in like vibrant, radiant ribbons of light. The dark-green wooden sword blurred slightly, then surged wildly and rapidly expanded, growing to a hundred zhang in a moment, and with a decisive thrust against the void opposite, it cut through the space as if it were solid. In an instant, the intertwining forces of the two laws wove together, producing strange, piercing cries, and the glow surged rapidly, like a snowball expanding, swelling to several acres in mere moments. Intense waves of disturbance erupted all around, spontaneously forming gusts of wind that soared like great dragons, nearly stirring the entire sky. After the giant ape delivered this blow, his originally mountainous form shrank dramatically in a single flash of light, yet his aura remained unimpaired. In fact, as a sharp expression of determination passed over his face, he halted all his arms and then, with a single motion of his six palms, grasped firmly the massive emerald sword. With a low roar, he swung his held object once more. A rushing sound followed—this time, instead of a silver crescent moon, a green-hued blade of energy shot forth from the emerald wooden sword. However, as soon as the sword qi surged forth, a fleeting form appeared above the silver glow. Spinning once, it then bent gracefully into a massive blade ring. This ring was nearly a li in size, with its two edges appearing sharply keen, its entire surface shimmering emerald-green and radiating strong law-level fluctuations. At the same moment, the three heads of the giant ape flashed with black light, each revealing a dark, ink-black eye. Then, simultaneously lifting several arms, it used a single finger to firmly point toward the distant void, while uttering a crisp, solemn character: "Zhǎn." Meanwhile, a roar erupted at the center of the silver glow, and a green line gradually emerged, emitting a faint beam of white light. The entire glow was severed by the blade ring, splitting it into an upper and a lower section.
