At this moment, the fifty kilometers of grey clouds in the sky had completely turned into five colors. At the center, the clouds had already distorted to form an extremely large hole, and a dazzling golden light was shining down from it, enveloping a floating mountain below.
The mountain that was shrouded by the green light curtain was plated with a layer of golden light. It looked like a dazzling golden mountain.
In the cave house's secret room, Han Li sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His whole body was shining with golden light. He looked like a golden-armored deity.
On his chest and abdomen, eleven golden light spots shone brightly like stars.
Nearby, there was another fist-sized golden vortex that was slowly condensing and forming.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the sky, and the colorful clouds in the sky immediately surged wildly.
The originally calm and peaceful golden light beam suddenly shook and rotated quickly. Soon, it turned into a golden tornado giant pillar that connected the sky and the earth.
There was a loud "Peng" sound!
The green light curtain that shrouded the mountain was hit by this giant pillar, and it collapsed directly. The golden light beam fell straight into the cave house on the mountain.
The floating mountain suddenly shook, and the entire mountain sunk down. An incomparably violent wave of air swept out in all directions.
The round-faced Youth, who was flying from below, was swept by the airwave when he was just close to the mountain. The protective light shield that had just lit up on the surface of his body collapsed, and he was swept out. His whole body was like a broken sack until he hit a nearby short mountain. Only then did he stabilize his body.
After his face flushed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and he carefully hovered in the air. He glanced at the deep abyss below, and then he looked at the mountain far away.
In his palm, he was holding a silver secret talisman tightly.
After the golden pillar of light landed on the mountain peak, it directly shattered and turned into golden light that filled the sky like dust, shining brightly as it scattered down.
In the cave house's secret room.
Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed a golden light. The golden vortex in his chest and abdomen immediately rotated crazily, and a powerful suction force came from it.
Hu hu hu …
Gusts of wind sounded, and the golden light that filled the sky, along with the dense Origin Energy in the surroundings, rushed towards the vortex in Han Li's chest and abdomen. It was vast and mighty like a surging river, and its imposing manner was astonishing.
The twelfth immortal aperture was forming!
"Elder Li, this …"
The round-faced Youth, who was hovering outside the mountain peak, looked at the golden river circling above the mountain peak. He was so shocked that he was almost speechless. He had been fortunate enough to see other Immortals breaking through, but none of them were this powerful.
Just as he was overwhelmed with shock, another deafening rumble came from the void.
Following that, there were chaotic screams coming from the ravine below.
The situation didn't seem too good. Would they be able to hold on?
However, when the Youth looked down, his line of sight was blocked by layers of mountains. He could not see anything at all.
The hesitation on his face became more and more intense. He clenched his fists, and the sweat on his palms had already stained the talisman. Finally, he gritted his teeth and injected a wisp of spiritual power into the talisman.
A green light suddenly flew out from his palm and shot towards the direction of Han Li's cave house with a shrill sound.
Then, the round-faced Youth turned around and directly rushed into the ravine below.
At this time, the ravine had already become a pot of porridge.
The cyan light curtain constructed by the disciples of the Fire Dragon Taoist Sect had already been broken and shattered. Only some people in some areas were still struggling to control the green banners.
Mist had already surged out from the collapsed area and spread upwards. It looked like it was going to swallow up more of the mountain peaks.
The round-faced Youth saw that Hu Zhen was leading the Fire Dragon Taoist disciples to retreat upwards.
Hu Zhen's swarthy face was full of gloom. As soon as he saw the round-faced Youth, he immediately flew over and asked, "Luo Tang, have you informed Elder Li?"
"I have, but Elder Li is at the critical moment of breaking through the realm. I don't know when he will come out …" The round-faced Youth said.
"There is an anomaly in the ravine that has never happened in nearly 10,000 years. Elder Li is the only elder in the True Immortal Realm in the secret realm now. If he can't come out to take charge of the situation as soon as possible, I'm afraid …" Hu Zhen said worriedly.
Before he could finish his sentence, the roar of a strange beast came from below, and a swarm of White Ghouls surged out from the abyss. They didn't care if there was a thick fog or not, and just rushed up to the floating mountain range above.
Along the way, the Fire Dragon Taoist disciples activated their magic weapons and attacked these white monsters.
For a time, five-colored flowing lights lit up everywhere above the ravine. Flying swords and treasure wheels flew everywhere, and flames and ice fell in disorder. In an instant, nearly a thousand White Ghosts were killed.
Flesh and blood splattered in mid-air, and pieces of White Ghost corpses flew everywhere.
The White Ghosts that were not stopped and rushed out of the thick fog did not fly far before their skin turned black. As if they were suffering from respiratory failure, they clutched their necks and fell into the abyss in pain.
However, even so, these White Ghouls seemed to have gone mad as they rushed upward without a care.
"What's going on …" The round-faced Youth was dumbfounded as he murmured.
"I think, they look like … like they are running for their lives …" Hu Zhen said slowly as a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a wild beast's roar was heard again. The sound came from a place very close to them.
In the thick fog, a giant black shadow suddenly leaped out, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed a dozen White Ghouls in an instant. Then, it quickly retreated.
Immediately after, on the other side of the thick fog, two more black shadows shot out and also pulled more than a dozen White Ghosts back into the depths of the fog.
It was extremely fast, and it was hidden in the thick fog. The round-faced Youth did not even see the shadow of the monster.
"What's that …" He cried out in horror.
The dark-skinned Youth shook his head silently and did not say anything.
"What should we do?
If we continue to retreat like this, we won't be able to hand in any of the elixirs this year. If the sect blames us, we … "The round-faced Youth's expression was ugly and he could not continue.
Hu Zhen's brows knit together tightly as she raised her head to look up. She couldn't help but feel slightly resentful towards Elder Li, but that was all, and she naturally didn't dare to feel resentful towards him.
"We can't retreat anymore. Let's ignore those White Ghosts and focus on dealing with the monsters in the thick fog.
Disciples, listen to my order. Gather quickly and prepare to fight the enemy, "Hu Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted.
Although many disciples of the Fire Dragon Taoist Sect were already panicking, after hearing this, they still gathered towards this side with escape lights.
"Form the Myriad Sect Sword Formation," the dark-skinned Youth shouted.
When everyone heard this, they did not hesitate to make sword gestures and control their flying swords to hover in the air.
The cultivators who did not have flying swords also raised their palms and injected their magic power into the sword formation.
The Myriad Sect Sword Formation was a rather basic and ordinary sword formation in the Fire Dragon Taoism. It did not require a complicated sword formation to coordinate. As long as there were enough flying swords connected with each other, it could exert great power.
Between the floating mountains, thousands of flying swords rose into the air. The sword lights merged with each other and produced a dense buzzing sound.
Hu Zhen's eyes immediately lit up. He did not expect that the sword formation he had formed on the spur of the moment would have such great potential. If that was the case, it might really be possible to kill the strange beasts in the thick fog.
"Kill!" Hu Zhen shouted in a low voice.
As soon as he shouted, everyone echoed. An earth-shattering battle cry immediately resounded throughout the abyss.
In mid-air, there was a loud clanging sound. Thousands of flying swords gathered together like a turbulent torrent of flying swords, surging into the thick fog below.
Countless White Ghosts that rushed out of the thick fog were swept into the colorful torrent of flying swords and instantly died.
"Roar …"
An earth-shattering roar rang out.
The thick fog in the ravine surged up at a speed ten times faster than before, swallowing all the flying swords in an instant.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
A series of incomparably dense sounds of metal colliding constantly came from the thick fog. Hundreds of flying swords were hit by a powerful force and lost control, flying out of the fog.
There were even some that directly collapsed, causing the people riding the swords to be greatly shaken. They all vomited blood and were seriously injured.
In the thick fog, nine black snake heads as large as mountains emerged from the fog. Each of them had a pair of long and narrow dark golden vertical pupils, staring coldly at everyone.
Their heads were shaking slightly. Long, scarlet tongues flickered in and out of their mouths, emitting hissing sounds.
Hu Zhen only met the gaze of one of the heads, and he felt as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cellar. He no longer had the slightest intention to resist.
He was clearly above and the giant snake was below, but he felt as if he was being looked down at by those giant snakes. There was only one thought left in his mind: "We're dead for sure …"
In fact, he wasn't the only one who had the same thought. Almost everyone had already fallen into despair, to the point that they even forgot to escape.
A moment later, the nine giant snake heads retracted at the same time. They opened their mouths and spat out a fishy wind, tearing towards the sky.
"Evil creature, how dare you!"
At this moment, an extremely dignified voice suddenly came from above everyone.
Everyone was still in a state of shock. Before they could even raise their heads to look, they only saw a green light flash in front of them. A figure had already appeared in front of them.
He was tall and straight. His green robes fluttered in the wind. His entire body seemed to be enveloped in a lustrous light, making him look like an immortal.
"Elder Li!" Hu Zhen could not help but call out.
When everyone saw this, they all cried out one after another. They were like drowning people who were struggling on their deathbed and were suddenly fished out. This feeling of being reborn made them all cry tears of joy.
At this moment, the nine snake heads had already opened their bloody mouths and were biting towards them.
Han Li swept a sleeve through the air, and a gentle breeze swept forth, carrying everyone up into the air and flying for over 50 kilometers.
Then, he pressed down with one hand, and a green light gushed out from it. Nine green flying swords hovered in the air, and hundreds and thousands of green sword lights flew out from them, forming a green sword light screen that almost covered the entire ravine.
