Chapter 1073: Drastic Increase
Han Li took a deep breath, then began chanting an incantation, and the vortex instantly began to contract at his behest.
A burst of incredibly formidable time law power fluctuations spread through the area as all of the golden light and time law threads within the golden vortex collapsed inward, forming a golden ring.
Han Li had manifested this golden ring on many past occasions, but this time, things seemed to be a little different.
While the golden ring was taking shape, the words in the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra were flowing through his mind with an unprecedented level of clarity, and in that instant, he was able to gain a deeper understanding of the secrets of the laws of time laid out in the cultivation art.
At the same time, the time law power within his body was beginning to stir, as if it were about to undergo some type of change, but all of a sudden, this feeling of enlightenment and clarity faded away, and the time law powers settled down again.
What was that?
Han Li attempted to make sense of what had just happened to him, but to no avail, and in the end, he cast this train of thought aside before returning his attention to the task at hand.
The golden ring flew forward through the air at his behest, then abruptly swelled to several times its original size before closing itself around one of the hives.
The ring was revolving rapidly while giving off resplendent golden light, and it was also releasing a burst of powerful suction force that enveloped the hive from all directions.
The hive began to crackle and pop as if it had been set alight, and balls of golden light flew out of it before vanishing into the golden ring.
The golden ring shuddered slightly before releasing a translucent, golden thread, which circled around Han Li a few times before wrapping itself around the Time Severing Torch.
Han Li\'s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing this, and he redoubled his efforts.
The golden light radiating from the ring became brighter and brighter, and it began to extract time law powers from the hive at a faster rate before converting it into time law threads.
One time law thread surged out of the golden ring after another before flying onto the Time Severing Torch, while the Fire Age Firefly hive shrank down rapidly, completely vanishing in a short span of time.
At this point, there were already fifty-two time law threads circling around the Time Severing Torch, giving off incredibly formidable time law power fluctuations.
Just as Han Li had anticipated, the hive contained no less time law power than himself, and after refining just a single hive, the number of time law threads in his possession had doubled!
All of a sudden, he could feel a vast abundance of time law powers in his body, and he was confident that he would be able to unleash that time-reversal ability again.
With this huge influx of time law threads, his five time-attribute law treasures had completely recovered, and they were glowing even brighter than before.
In particular, not only was his Time Severing Torch glowing radiantly, it seemed to have swelled slightly in size as well.
Han Li forcibly suppressed his excitement as he quickly moved onto the second hive, and the golden ring closed itself around the hive to absorb the time law powers inside.
Close to an hour flew by in the blink of an eye, and the other two hives had also been fully refined and converted into over a hundred time law threads.
At this point, there were over a hundred and sixty time law threads wrapped around the Time Severing Torch, and it had become around 30% larger than before and much more substantial in appearance.
The time law powers in Han Li\'s body had also swelled by severalfold, to the point that he was having a little trouble controlling it.
The vast abundance of time law power was churning throughout his body, but it didn\'t cause him any pain or discomfort.
After taking a moment to acclimate himself to his newfound powers, Han Li withdrew his time-attribute law treasures, then began channeling his Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra to rein in the time law powers in his body.
Several hours later, he rose to his feet, and the time law power in his body was already completely under control.
Even though he hadn\'t tried to unleash the time-reversal ability again, he was confident that he was definitely capable of doing so at this moment.
"I wonder if they\'ve already broken the restriction outside," Han Li murmured to himself, then turned to take a glance at the bamboo pavilion.
Weeping Soul was still refining Ghost King Wu Chao\'s ghostly power inside, so Han Li didn\'t disturb her as he rose up into the and flew out of the Flower Branch domain.
After that, he swept a sleeve through the air to recover all of the array tools laid out in the side hall, following which he made his way back into the main hall.
As soon as he did so, he was immediately greeted by the sight of a burst of radiant blue and crimson light.
After taking a moment to assess the situation before him, he discovered that there was a giant, square, blue array on the ground in the main hall, within which were seven smaller, circular arrays arranged in an arc within the main array.
At this moment, Lan Yan, Lei Yuce, Wen Zhong, the black-robed duo, Jin Liu, and Xiong Shan were seated in the array, with each of them occupying one of the circular arrays.
Meanwhile, Lan Yuanzi and Su Anqian were standing on lookout duty outside the blue array.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, you\'re back!" Su Anqian exclaimed with an elated expression at the sight of Han Li\'s return.
However, her expression then stiffened slightly as she began to carefully observe Han Li with a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.
He had only been gone for less than half a day, yet some type of massive change seemed to have taken place within him.
Meanwhile, Lan Yuanzi was looking at Han Li with a slightly awkward look on his face.
Han Li gave the two a nod of acknowledgment, then turned his gaze into the array, where Lan Yan and the others were making rapid strings of hand seals, while radiant blue light surged into the crimson light barrier from the array.
The blue light was filled with countless blue runes that contained water law powers, and they were flowing into the crimson light barrier with a dull rumble, much like the sound of crashing waves.
A string of ghastly howls rang out within the light barrier as the seven malicious deities emerged in unison, then swept their hands through the air to release bursts of viscous crimson light to oppose the blue light.
The crimson light was able to tear through the blue light before striking the blue array, but Lan Yan remained calm and composed despite this, seemingly having anticipated this outcome.
She chanted an incantation while making a rapid string of hand seals, then swiped her fingers over her wrists, and two jets of blood instantly spurted out of her wrists before fusing into the blue array.
Immediately thereafter, the array turned crimson in color, and the law power fluctuations that it was giving off also abruptly turned from the water attribute to the blood attribute.
A look of intrigue and surprise appeared on Han Li\'s face upon seeing this. This was the first time he had seen this type of law power transition.
The attacks from the seven malicious deities struck the crimson array, but not only did the attacks not do any damage, they fused into the array instead.
At the same time, numerous tendrils of crimson light shot out of the array before wrapping themselves around the seven malicious deities like lightning.
Immediately thereafter, everyone in the array switched to different hand seals in unison, and the crimson tendrils transformed into seven crimson rings around the malicious deities.
Waves of crimson light that were filled with countless crimson runes surged out of the rings, releasing incredibly formidable restrictive power that completely immobilized the seven malicious deities.
Lan Yan was ecstatic to see this, and she swept a sleeve through the air to summon a crimson badge, which released a plume of threads of crimson light at her behest.
These were blood law threads, and there were around fifty to sixty of them, all of which fused into the crimson array.
The array began to rumble violently as a series of giant, crimson runes that were each over ten feet in diameter surged out from within before striking the opposing light barrier, which quickly began to thin out.
In the face of the threat posed by Lan Yan\'s array, the seven malicious deities let loose a collective roar as a layer of liquid-like crimson light appeared over their bodies.
At the same time, a violent aura of malice erupted out of their bodies, one that was far more potent than what had been released by the head of that malicious deity from earlier, and it forced its way directly into the minds of everyone present, completely bypassing the protective spiritual light around them.
Han Li\'s body was also infiltrated by this malicious aura, and he was greeted by a horrific sight of a boundless sea of blood and vast mountains of mutilated bodies.
However, the time law powers in his body then sprang into action on their own, expeling this burst of malicious law powers to restore his lucidity, but the others were not so fortunate.
At this moment, Xiong Shan\'s eyes had turned bright red, and his entire body was trembling uncontrollably as if he had been possessed.
Jin Liu, Wen Zhong, and Lan Yuanzi\'s eyes had also taken on a red coloration, and they were letting loose animalistic snarls, but the hints of lucidity in their eyes indicated that they hadn\'t completely succumbed to the malicious influence in their bodies.
Lan Yan, Su Anqian, and Lei Yuce were more powerful than the rest, so they were less severely affected, and the law powers in their bodies had already begun eradicating the malicious aura acting upon them.
Right at this moment, Han Li directed his gaze toward the black-robed duo in the array.
