In the sky above a huge canyon in the Wilderness, the void suddenly fluctuated violently. Silver bolts of lightning appeared in the shape of long snakes before forming a lightning formation in mid-air.
With a deafening rumble, Han Li emerged at the center of the lightning formation.
He glanced around and summoned the Jasper Flying Chariot with a wave of his hand. With a hand incantation gesture, the flying chariot immediately turned into a green shadow and sped forward at a great speed.
After that, he summoned Daoist Xie and ordered him to control the flying chariot, while he sat down cross-legged and continued to cultivate the Spirit Cultivation Art.
In the void tens of thousands of miles away from Han Li, the Primordial Immortal Devourer was emitting a blinding golden light that was as hot as the sun as it sped forward at lightning speed with a golden gleam flashing in its eyes.
Compared to its previous rage, it was much calmer now.
Clearly, it had gotten used to the fact that another of its kind would conceal its aura and speed up from time to time, and it had come up with a countermeasure, which was to keep chasing after it.
With its cultivation base and the unique physical strength of the Primordial Immortal Devourer, this level of energy consumption was nothing to it.
As the Primordial Immortal Devourer approached again, Han Li had no choice but to cast the lightning formation and teleport away.
Half a year later, the Jasper Flying Chariot sped forward in a boundless sea of gray mist.
The gray mist roiled like raging waves in the ocean, greatly affecting the speed of the flying chariot.
A dozen terrifying beasts that looked like gray lizards were chasing after the flying car, each emanating the aura of a Gold Immortal. Among them was a gray lizard that was twice the size of the others and had reached the level of a Primordial Immortal.
These lizard beasts let out excited roars as they sprayed out blinding beams of grey light from their mouths toward the jade flying chariot in front of them.
Han Li's face was dark as he tried his best to steer the flying chariot forward while trying to avoid the falling gray beams of light.
Meanwhile, Jintong, Pixiu, and Daoist Xie stood behind the flying chariot, blocking some of the gray beams of light.
Millions of miles behind the flying chariot, a blinding golden light was chasing after it like lightning.
In the middle of a yellow desert, the wind howled furiously. Incomparably thick tornadoes that connected the heavens and the earth stood erect everywhere, moving and sweeping in all directions.
Streaks of yellow light flashed inside the wind pillar, emitting terrifying sounds of wind and thunder. Wherever it passed, the void would tremble and ripples of space would surge out in all directions.
Sometimes, two huge wind pillars would collide, and spatial cracks would appear in the void.
A mass of green light and a mass of golden light were chasing each other in the desert, both of them trying their best to avoid the wind pillars and moving forward with great difficulty.
The speed of the golden streak of light was clearly much faster than that of the green streak of light, and the distance between the two sides was soon reduced to less than 10,000 kilometres.
Suddenly, bolts of golden lightning emerged from the green light in front of them, condensing into a golden lightning array.
With a roar of thunder, the green light disappeared without a trace.
More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
Somewhere in the Wilderness, in the sky above a boundless swamp, a gloomy green ball of light was rapidly advancing.
Although this ball of light was green, it wasn't just a single color. Instead, it was a mix of dark green, light green, emerald green, greyish green, and various other colors.
Such a diverse mix of colors strangely made the ball of light very inconspicuous. Furthermore, it had fused as one with the surrounding void, making it very difficult to detect its existence.
Within the gloomy ball of light was a green flying carriage, and Han Li and the others were riding in it.
The color of the flying carriage was very different from before. The body of the carriage, which was originally as green as water, was now an ugly, flowery green. Just like the surrounding balls of light, it seemed to have been smeared with a layer of something.
Although this layer of material was ugly, the flowery green light it emitted almost completely concealed the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the flying carriage. Even the powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the hexagonal array on the flying carriage were concealed.
This layer of flowery green material was a type of spirit tree resin that Han Li had obtained by chance in a tribe in the Wilderness. It had saved him a lot of trouble during his years of escape.
At this moment, Han Li's expression was slightly unsightly. He formed a hand seal and did his best to control the flying carriage to rapidly advance.
Beside him, Jin Tong's face was pale. He was holding a spiritual treasure in his hand as he continued to chew on it.
Pi Xiu was lying on the other side, its body glowing with a faint white light. Apparently, it was also regulating its breath and recovering.
"Just a few hundred thousand miles away," Jin Tong suddenly raised his head and said.
His words were without rhyme or reason, but Han Li clearly understood what he meant.
He looked back, and a blue light flashed in his eyes. Then, he turned around, took a deep breath, and moved all ten of his fingers.
Bolts of golden lightning shot out and formed a lightning array around the flying carriage. Countless golden lightning runes danced in it.
With a deafening rumble, the lightning array suddenly lit up. In the center of the array, Han Li and the flying carriage disappeared without a trace.
Not long after Han Li and the others disappeared, a ball of golden light shot from afar and hovered at the spot where Han Li's flying carriage disappeared.
As the golden light faded, a huge golden beetle emerged. It was the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm.
It looked around and sneered. Golden light surged from its body, and it continued onward like a bolt of lightning.
At the same time, the void above a lush forest millions of miles away rippled. A ball of golden lightning emerged and spread rapidly to the surroundings, forming a golden lightning array.
Han Li's trio and the green flying carriage blurred as they appeared in the distance.
Han Li waved his hand and struck out an incantation gesture. The green flying carriage immediately glowed brightly and continued to fly forward.
Although he had increased the distance between him and the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm, he did not relax at all. Instead, he frowned even harder.
For the past ten years, he had been trying his best to escape. Apart from the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm, there were also all kinds of dangers.
Not to mention the fact that he was chased by all kinds of wild beasts in the Wildlands, he occasionally encountered some real spirits of the Wildlands with terrifying strength. Sometimes, he was careless and strayed into all kinds of dangerous places.
If not for his powerful divine sense, the cultivation of the Law of Time, the many treasures he had, and the help of the Golden Urchin and Pixiu, he would have died in the Wildlands before the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm caught up with him.
Of course, among all these dangers, the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm posed the greatest threat to him.
Today, he had used all the means he could, even using the super long-distance teleportation array of the Lightning-Capture Wood or some dangerous places to trap the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm.
However, the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm was not weak either. The wild beasts along the way posed no threat to it. The other means that Han Li used were all nullified by the Golden Immortal Devourer and he was almost caught up more than once.
Every time he was forced to a critical juncture, Han Li would use the Lightning Array to escape by a hair's breadth to buy some time.
He possessed the power of the Thunder Roc bloodline, the Divine Lightning of Warding Evil in the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, and the help of Daoist Xie. As long as he did not lack Immortal Meta Stones, the power of thunder and lightning in his body could barely hold on.
But even so, there would come a time when it would run out.
Although Han Li would try his best to recover after using the Lightning Array, it took a long time to convert the immortal spiritual energy into the power of thunder and lightning. Even when he tried his best, he still could not make up for it.
Recently, the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm seemed to have guessed the situation in Han Li's body and chased after him even more. Under the activation of the array, the power of thunder and lightning in his body was almost depleted.
At this rate, it would not take long before the power of thunder and lightning was completely depleted.
Han Li sighed and his body glowed with a dazzling golden light.
Amidst the golden light, the Wheel of Truth emerged.
Dazzling Time Dao Patterns flickered on it, and most of them had regained their brightness.
Han Li's eyes finally flashed with a hint of relief. With these Time Dao Patterns, he would have some confidence even if the Golden Immortal Devourer of the Taiyi realm caught up to him.
"Uncle, I'm done." At this moment, Jin Tong suddenly stood up.
Han Li stopped controlling the flying carriage upon hearing this, and Daoist Xie immediately stepped forward to take over.
Jin Tong walked to Han Li's side and sat down with his legs crossed.
Han Li placed his hand on Jin Tong's forehead and muttered an incantation.
A layer of crystal light emerged from his forehead, and as he chanted, it gradually brightened and flowed out of his body, fusing into Jin Tong's head from his palm.
Crystal spirit patterns emerged on Jin Tong's forehead, glowing faintly and emitting a faint spiritual aura.
After a while, Han Li put down his palm.
A cloud-like pattern emerged on Jin Tong's forehead, very similar to when he used the Soul Armor Talisman.
The Soul Armor Talisman required some rare high-grade spiritual materials and was very expensive. Even though Han Li was wealthy, he could not afford to buy them for a long time. Therefore, he focused on studying the talisman and found out that the Soul Armor Talisman's principle was to condense the power of spirit into a substance through a secret technique, then transform it into a protective shield and seal it in the talisman for others to use.
After studying the talisman, he immediately tried to imitate it.
In addition, whenever he had free time, he would cultivate the fourth stage of the Spirit Refinement Art.
Perhaps it was because he was really suited to cultivate the Spirit Refinement Art, or because he had been in constant danger all these years, his potential was stimulated. He had made rapid progress in the fourth stage of the Spirit Refinement Art and was now close to mastery.
Han Li's spirit was now extremely powerful, and his mind was also extremely sharp. Although he could not create his own Soul Armor Talisman by imitating it, he could already protect Jin Tong's soul.
Jin Tong opened his eyes and turned into a golden light, flying into the Pixiu's body.
Han Li accepted the flying carriage from Daoist Xie, then immediately changed directions and flew toward the distance.
In the void millions of miles behind him, the Taiyi Gold Devouring Bug lost its sense of Jin Tong again. It snorted, but it was not worried at all.
It could sense that those guys in front of it were already at their limits, and it only needed a little more effort to catch up.
