Chapter 1030: Metal Beast
In the instant that Han Li passed through the golden light barrier, he was immediately bound by countless golden threads that contained formidable law powers, suspending him in mid-air in an immobilized manner.
He looked down to discover a lush forest that was around several hundred kilometers in size below, and the forest was bordered by dense, gray mist. It was clear from this layout that this was a small secret area.
A series of small bluestone paths could be seen through the lush greenery, leading to a golden courtyard deep in the forest.
There's so much time law powers here! Han Li thought to himself as he took a glance at the golden threads around his own body.
This was a feeling akin to being restricted by the Mantra Treasured Axis, but his thoughts weren't affected. Even with his tremendous physical constitution, the incredibly sharp golden threads were slicing into his body, causing him great pain.
All of a sudden, his expression changed slightly as he spotted a cloud of dust rising up from the forest in the distance, and there were two giant, golden figures rushing toward him, destroying all of the greenery in their paths.
It was a pair of massive, golden tigers with wings growing out of their ribs, but the wings were disproportionately small compared to their bodies, so they couldn't use those wings to take flight.
As they continued rushing forward while flapping their wings, they began to rise up from the ground bit by bit en route to Han Li.
Are these metal beasts?
Even though these two creatures were beastly in form, their bodies were entirely comprised of extremely pure metal-attribute spiritual qi, allowing them to thrive in the environment of the Golden Origin Mountain Range.As these thoughts ran through Han Li's mind, he channeled his Reversal True Axis ability, and time law power fluctuations erupted out of his body, attempting to reach some type of balance with the golden threads around him.
As these time law power fluctuations surged out of his body, the golden threads began to unravel on their own, but at a rather slow rate.
After around twenty seconds, his body was still bound by several hundred golden threads, but at this point, the two giant metal beasts were already upon him, and both of them opened their cavernous mouths, with one of them biting down upon his head, while the other was chomping at his waist.
Burst of golden light that were imbued with extremely sharp metal-attribute spiritual qi could be seen gleaming over their sharp fangs, and even Han Li was struck by a sense of foreboding at the sight of them.
Right as their mouths were about to close around Han Li, a silver fire raven abruptly flew out of his body, then swelled drastically in size as it flapped its fiery wings and crashed directly into the pair of metal beasts.
Two resounding explosions rang out as specks of silver fire erupted in all directions, and the two metal beasts were forced back down to the ground by the Essence Fire Raven.
The two beasts let loose thunderous roars as they chomped down onto the Essence Fire Raven's wings, and even though the Essence Fire Raven had already flown back up into the sky, two large chunks were still torn off its fiery wings.
The metal beasts were completely unfazed by the scorching, silver flames, chewing a few times before directly devouring them, and a surprised look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.
He knew better than anyone else just how formidable the Essence Fire Raven's flames were, so it was truly surprising to him that these two metal beasts were able to devour such flames.
All the while, more and more of the golden threads around his body continued to unravel in the face of his time law powers.
The Essence Fire Raven seemed to have been infuriated to have had parts of its wings torn away, and it swooped down from above like a fiery asteroid, transforming into a swirling tornado of silver flames that encompassed both of the metal beasts.
The silver tornado rose up into the heavens, and the fierce wind swept up by its revolution drastically elevated the temperatures of the flames. Situated within the fiery tornado, wisps of faint golden mist began to rise up from the bodies of the two metal beasts.
The bodies of these metal beasts were primarily comprised of metal-attribute spiritual qi, so that was most likely what this golden mist was.
Right at this moment, two thunderous roars rang out as the two metal beasts suddenly crashed headfirst into each other with a resounding boom.
A burst of blinding golden light instantly erupted out of their foreheads before sweeping through the air in all directions, slicing through the surrounding silver flames to allow the pair of metal beasts to escape from the fiery tornado.
The Essence Fire Raven's body had been split into two, and the two bursts of silver flames rose up into the air before attempting to fuse back together, but they were prevented from doing so by a layer of golden light between them.
As for the metal beast, they paid no further heed to the Essence Fire Raven as they charged directly at Han Li once again.
However, at this point, Han Li had already struggled free from the binding golden threads, and he took a step forward in mid-air, then channeled his Titan Vajra Arts as he lashed out with both fists.
A burst of radiant starlight emerged over his arms, and his fists struck the two metal beasts squarely on their foreheads amid a pair of resounding clangs.
Two bursts of powerful shockwaves erupted forth in all directions, and the two metal beasts were sent plummeting out of the sky before crashing down onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.
Han Li took a glance at the Essence Fire Raven, which was still struggling to fuse itself back together, then continued pursuing the pair of metal beasts, raining down more punches upon them before they had a chance to crawl out of the crater in the ground.
Han Li's fists fell like rain, and after unleashing over a hundred punches, the entire surrounding area within a radius of several dozen kilometers had already been severely ravaged.
He was worried that if he were to keep this up, then the foundation of this entire secret area would be destroyed, so he stopped what he was doing, but as soon as he did so, his brows instantly became tightly furrowed.
As it turned out, the two metal beasts were already nowhere to be seen.
Han Li flew down to the bottom of the crater, and only then did he discover that the two metal beasts had already fled through an underground tunnel that they had dug.
"Let's go after those two first, then find a way to eradicate that golden light so you can return to your normal form," Han Li communicated to the Essence Fire Raven.
The two bursts of silver flames immediately stopped trying to fuse back together, and they transformed into a pair of identical silver fire ravens instead before landing on Han Li's shoulders.
Han Li took a glance at the entrance of the underground tunnel, then flew directly into it.
Due to the fact that the tunnel had only just been dug out, it was very hot and humid inside, and the entire tunnel was filled with the odor of mold and soil.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he advanced onward for close to ten kilometers, upon which he arrived at a crossroads.
The crossroads consisted of the tunnel that Han Li was currently traveling through, intersected by another wider tunnel with smooth and dry walls, indicating that it had been dug out long ago.
Furthermore, there were some air currents flowing through the other tunnel, and the air currents were very hot to the touch.
After sweeping his spiritual sense through the area, a faint smile appeared on Han Li's face as he chuckled to the pair of fire ravens on his shoulders, "You're in luck..."
He then flew into the crossroads before taking the tunnel to his left, and after traveling for close to another ten kilometers, he arrived in a spacious underground area.
As soon as he arrived in this underground area, he spotted a five-colored fire pit that was over a thousand feet in size. The pit was filled with crimson, yellow, green, azure, and blue flames, and it was giving off waves of sweltering heat.
At this moment, the two metal beasts were laying beside the fiery pit, gnawing on a giant piece of golden ore, and with each bite that they took a small amount of metal-attribute spiritual qi would enter their bodies.
The two metal beasts immediately stood up at the sight of Han Li, and they bared their fangs at him in a menacing manner, but didn't dare to attack him again.
They've been constantly residing near this fire pit and feeding on ore that's tinged with the power of the five-colored flames, so it's No wonder they were able to devour my Flames of Essence.
At this point, the pair of fire ravens on Han Li's shoulders had also realized just how remarkable this five-colored fire pit was, and they were both jumping up and down in excitement.
"Go on," Han Li said with a smile, and the two fire ravens immediately flew toward the five-colored fire pit in unison.
The two metal beasts instantly sprang up into the air to try and stop the fire ravens, but in the blink of an eye, Han Li appeared beneath them in a wraith-like manner, then grabbed onto their tails before tugging them downard.
The two metal beasts were sent crashing heavily down onto the ground, then immediately scrambled to their paws before pouncing at Han Li.
Han Li channeled his Giant Mountain Ape bloodline, and tufts of golden fur appeared over his skin as he instantly transformed into a giant golden ape that was over a hundred feet tall, then pressed his hand down onto the two metal beasts' heads, forcing them firmly into the ground.
The two metal beasts struggled with all their might, and their tails were swinging around frantically like a pair of whips, but they were no match for Han Li's tremendous strength.
