One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Time passed bit by bit. Everyone quieted down and looked at the living stone that had consumed the black pill. They didn't seem to know what would happen next.
However, after seven breaths had passed, the living corpse was still leaning on the golden chair without the slightest movement.
"How is this possible … How is it not possible?
How … "The light in the old woman's eyes gradually dimmed as she muttered in disbelief.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but let out sighs of relief. They thought that it was just a false alarm. Feng Tiandu turned his attention back to Han Li, and Han Li also withdrew his gaze.
The confrontation between the two sides was about to begin at any moment.
But at this moment, a strange scene appeared!
A grey light suddenly shone from the living corpse's body and instantly spread out like a spirit domain.
Wherever it passed, the sound of wind and thunder resounded, as if a storm was blowing and rumbling.
The old woman, who was closest to the living corpse, was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. She was swept up by the gale and sent flying. She crashed straight into a grey-white puppet, causing a loud bang.
The jade-green pill cauldron also violently trembled from the impact of the attack. The jade-green light around it circulated for a while before it stabilized.
The two golden puppets and the grey-white puppets were also knocked over by the huge force. Even the outermost layer of the sea of fire restriction spread outwards and exploded with a loud bang.
The white-faced scholar and the others hastily dodged to the back.
Only Daoist Huyan's eyes flickered, and he did the exact opposite. With a flip of his hand, he took out an ancient oil lamp that was burning with a golden flame. His figure flashed, and he pierced into the sea of flames that had exploded. In an instant, he was engulfed by the flames.
"Huyan …" Yun Ni seemed to be unaware of this and cried out in alarm.
Han Li's heart stirred. His eyes lit up with blue light and he looked inside. However, he saw that the area was filled with grey Qi and he couldn't see anything clearly.
A moment later, the grey Qi that filled the area slowly dissipated. A figure quickly shot out from it and landed on Yun Ni's side. It was Daoist Huyan.
His clothes were tattered, his beard was burnt, and his whole body was charred black. He seemed to be in a sorry state.
"I got it … but that golden puppet is too powerful. It's hard for me to escape when the two of them work together, so I didn't dare to snatch the other one." An obvious smile hung on his face as he transmitted his voice to Yun Ni.
"Don't take such a risk next time …" Yun Ni's heart relaxed as she glared at him and replied.
After all the smoke and dust had settled, the living corpse on the golden throne reappeared.
He still maintained his original posture and did not move at all. It seemed like nothing had changed, but the aura he gave off was completely different from before.
A golden figure flashed, and two golden puppets appeared beside the chair.
A puppet held a silver-colored pill in its hand. It was the Grand Unity Pill, and it sent it into the living corpse's mouth.
Half of the other golden puppet's body was charred black, and one of its arms was missing. It stood there in a daze.
After consuming the second Extreme Unity Pill, the living corpse's body glowed with a layer of light and the aura it exuded grew stronger.
At that moment, the two golden puppets and the one that had arrived earlier had surrounded the living corpse.
Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
Then, he glanced at Daoist Huyan and the others, and his expression changed again.
He saw Daoist Huyan take off the cloth bag he had been carrying on his back, open a corner, and quickly send the Grand Unity Pill in his hand into it.
A trace of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he quickly thought of something. His body shone with green light, and he suddenly shot out, no longer entangled with Feng Tiandu.
"Brat, don't run!" Feng Tiandu's expression changed, and he roared angrily. Just as he was about to give chase, something strange happened again!
A blue beam of light appeared behind him and soared into the sky.
An enormous aura exuded from the blue beam of light, and the entire hall began to shake.
Luo Qinghai was standing in the middle of the blue beam of light.
His body was bathed in dazzling blue light, and waves of blue light surged out of his body like waves of water, rushing toward the surroundings.
The chains binding his body rustled, and they loosened significantly.
Feng Tiandu's expression darkened, and he no longer cared about chasing after Han Li. He turned around and pounced toward Luo Qinghai, and with a wave of his hand, a black light shot out, and disappeared into the chains binding Luo Qinghai.
Although the strength of everyone present was extraordinary, Luo Qinghai was still the greatest threat to him, and he absolutely couldn't let him escape.
The chains immediately shone, and then wriggled and contracted as if they were alive.
It's too late to restrain me now! "Luo Qinghai snorted coldly, and he formed a hand seal with both hands.
The blue beam of light around him shone again, and as if it had substance, the chains remained motionless no matter how they wriggled and contracted.
Luo Qinghai muttered an incantation, and the lower half of his body suddenly transformed into a blue snake tail. His entire body turned into a strange half-human half-snake, and the aura he exuded also increased greatly.
Han Li's figure flashed, and he appeared beside Daoist Huyan and the others.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I'll have to trouble you to restrain Feng Tiandu." Daoist Huyan nodded gratefully.
He smiled faintly at Daoist Huyan and waved his hand. His gaze lingered on Daoist Huyan's back for a moment.
Daoist Huyan's yellow bag was once again slung on his back. It was tightly wrapped, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
A strange look flashed across Han Li's face, but he didn't ask anything. He turned his head and looked at Luo Qinghai.
He was startled when he saw Luo Qinghai's transformation.
A layer of sparkling and translucent blue light appeared on the surface of Luo Qinghai's body. His body wriggled with all his might, and he quickly drilled through the layers of chains.
Feng Tiandu's pupils shrank, and he waved his hand.
Black light flickered around him, and dozens of black chains that were as thick as bowls appeared.
The tips of the chains were extremely sharp, and they emitted waves of pitch-black cold light. They looked like black spears, and countless black runes danced on them. They emitted frightening fluctuations of the laws of nature, and they struck fear into people's hearts.
Feng Tiandu formed a hand seal, and all the black chains shot out like arrows. They turned into blurry black shadows that pierced towards Luo Qinghai's body.
When Luo Qinghai saw this, he flipped his hand and took out a deep blue bead.
The bead emitted a powerful and obscure aura, and a half-human, half-snake humanoid figure was sealed inside it. Unfortunately, the blue light emitted by the bead was too bright, and he couldn't see it clearly.
A trace of reluctance flashed across his eyes, but he still quickly opened his mouth and swallowed the bead.
In the next moment, the blue light on his body flickered wildly, and his body suddenly became transparent. Streaks of deep blue light flickered within his body.
Right at this moment, the black chains shot out like lightning, easily piercing through the surrounding blue light pillars, and pierced through Luo Qinghai's body.
Luo Qinghai's body was instantly riddled with holes, but there wasn't a trace of blood.
When Feng Tiandu saw this, he was slightly startled.
Luo Qinghai sneered, and blue light flashed on his body. All of a sudden, it exploded, and turned into waves of water that spread in all directions.
At the same time, a desolate incantation came from an unknown place, and it gave off an extremely ancient feeling. It was as if it was some kind of language that had existed in this world since the beginning of time.
When Feng Tiandu saw this, his face sank slightly, and the incantation gesture in his hand suddenly changed.
The black chains flashed with black light, and they shot out again, madly piercing through the blue waves, but to no avail.
The incantation from Luo Qinghai's mouth grew louder and louder, and it sounded like the ringing of a great bell.
Along with the incantation, columns of blue water shot out from the surrounding void, and merged with the blue waves.
In the blink of an eye, a lake-sized blue ball of water appeared, and it occupied nearly half of the hall.
Light flashed in the center of the lake, and a ball of blue light emerged. It was a huge figure.
This figure was several tens of feet tall, and its upper body was that of a middle-aged man. He wore a loose blue robe, and his broad chest and muscular arms were exposed. A long and curly blue beard grew on his chin, and it hung down to his chest.
The lower half of the man's body was that of a thick blue snake. It coiled into several coils and was at least a thousand feet long.
The middle-aged man had a dignified expression, and he looked like an ancient water god. He emitted an incomparably strong aura, and it forced the surrounding black spiritual domain away. It was obvious that he had surpassed the level of a Golden Immortal.
"This aura, he has reached the Taiyi Realm!" Han Li and the rest saw the blue man from afar, and they were shocked.
Feng Tiandu looked at the blue man in front of him, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Luo Qinghai was standing in the blue man's shadow, and his body was shining with blue light. He looked dignified and inviolable.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, and made a gesture with one hand.
The blue man suddenly opened his eyes, and blue lightning danced in his eyes, making it hard for people to look at him directly. He raised his thick arm.
A blue staff appeared in his hand, and it emitted a dazzling blue light. The shape of the staff could not be seen clearly, and it struck towards the void of Feng Tiandu.
A huge blue staff shadow appeared, and it was surrounded by countless blue lightning, and it emitted a terrifying power that could split the heaven and earth.
At this moment, it was as if there was only this staff shadow in this part of the world.
Han Li and the rest, who were outside the spiritual domain, could feel it clearly, and their expressions changed as they retreated further away.
The huge blue staff shadow seemed to be slow, but Feng Tiandu, who was bearing the brunt of the staff shadow, knew how fast this attack was. It was like a huge blue lightning striking on the black spiritual domain, and it did not give him any time to react.
Feng Tiandu's black spiritual domain shook violently, and with a "boom", it broke apart.
"Bang! Bang!" Sounds were heard one after another!
The black chains in the spiritual domain were also broken, and the old man from Nanli Tribe, the white-haired Golden Immortal from Torch Dragon Taoism, and Nanke Meng were all broken, and the chains around them were freed.
The three of them were overjoyed, and they immediately flew away without hesitation.
