Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 1009

In an instant, nine restrictions were shattered. However, the enormous incantation character seemed to have consumed a considerable amount of energy, as it whirred weakly and was cracked.

“We must prepare for the final blow quickly,” Liu Shui’er said. From behind her, a gray wheel transformed into a thick pillar of light, which was sucked into the incantation character. The cracked incantation character was restored and emitted a powerful light again.

Han Li and Shi Kun also separately cast spells, and a pitch-black mountain peak and a giant spirit tablet rushed in like arrows.

The tenth restriction was a desert of yellow sand. The gray incantation character flinched and stopped moving the moment it touched the desert.

Han Li’s Spirit Eye Technique revealed the faint phantoms of the Taiyi Azure Light, which had been suppressed by the Origin Magnetic Divine Light. Only after the power of the Origin had greatly diminished did the Taiyi Azure Light begin to exert its power.

The enormous incantation character burst out countless gray energies, and as a result, most of the transparent phantoms that had been transformed by the Taiyi Azure Light also scattered. At that moment, the giant spirit tablet and the black mountain fell fiercely.

Bang! Ku-koong!

The remaining Taiyi Azure Light weakly resisted before being pierced, and the giant spirit tablet and the black mountain directly collided with the yellow desert restriction. Small grains of sand suddenly grew to the size of fists and flew towards the two treasures.

However, Han Li’s Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and Shi Kun’s gray spirit tablet were treasures containing the power of the Origin. Even as the giant sand grains struck down, the treasures did not lose their light.

The mysterious yellow sand grains were soon crushed by the Origin Magnetic Divine Light emitted by the treasures and could not move.

The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, the silver incantation character, and the ancient characters of the giant spirit tablet simultaneously flashed and began to exert overwhelming power.

Whoosh.

On the black mountain peak, a silver incantation character appeared and quickly rotated, creating a large cave. Gray energy swirled within the black cave, creating a powerful suction force that sucked in the surrounding yellow sand grains.

Woong!

And the ancient characters of the giant spirit tablet flashed, emitting a thick gray beam of light. It became a light sword of Origin Magnetic Divine Light, with the spirit tablet as its hilt.

The space distorted where the light sword was swung, and the yellow sand grains were shattered. It was a great power. Although the number of yellow sand grains was very large, most of them were sucked into the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, and the rest were split and destroyed by the light sword.

Thus, the tenth restriction was broken, and the final restriction appeared.

On an enormous painting that appeared to be a blue light curtain, a lush green mountain range stretched out, and countless birds were circling above it.

Kee-rook, kee-rook.

When a light of spiritual energy flashed from the highest mountain peak, phantoms of colorful birds spread their wings and flew out of the painting.

The bird demon beasts spat out bright red fireballs from their mouths and emitted white wind blades from their wings. In addition, thunder rumbled from their feet, and silver lightning flashed.

In an instant, numerous attacks poured in. The number of Taiyi Azure Lights was overwhelming compared to the previous restrictions, and the gray light of the attacked Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and light sword became much darker. Unlike before, they were now being restricted by the Taiyi Azure Light.

‘Taiyi Azure Mountain!’

Even so, Han Li was excited. The green mountain peak in the painting was the very thing he had been longing for. At that moment, Shi Kun let out a shout and burst out a bright gray light from the gray light sword.

Wherever the blade passed, the fireballs and wind blades melted like snow under the sun, and the light sword directly attacked the flock of birds. Hundreds of bird phantoms split apart where the sword light flashed.

However, an even greater number of bird phantoms turned into five-colored flames and flew towards the gray light sword.

Kwarurung!

The light sword deflected the first half, but as more five-colored flames flew in, it could not withstand them and returned to its original form. The spirit tablet eventually whirred weakly and was engulfed in five-colored flames, falling towards the painting.

The remaining five-colored flames rushed towards the black mountain peak with even greater momentum. Surprised, Han Li made a hand seal with one hand and pointed at the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.

The gray light of the mountain peak shone intensely again, and the numerous silver incantation characters on its surface emitted a gray wave. Although the power of the gray light sword was excellent a moment ago, the number of Origin Magnetic Divine Lights was incomparable to the enlarged Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.

The five-colored flames that were rising from the right were crushed into nothingness by the gray wave of the Origin Magnetic Divine Light. The huge mountain peak fell roughly towards the painting.

Woong.

At this time, the green mountain peak in the painting vibrated, and the trees, flowers, plants, beasts, and insects that were merely drawings transformed into a light of green spiritual energy and poured out.

The greenery of the green mountain peak flowed out, turning into green threads, and then gathered into layers of nets in the air, blocking the gray wave. Metallic friction sounds were heard as the green net and the silver wave collided, and both mountain peaks vibrated simultaneously.

Kwakwang!

Just as Han Li was rapidly circulating his magic power to increase the power of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, a gray lightning bolt the size of a bowl suddenly struck down from high above, attacking the green net.

The huge net made of Taiyi Azure Light flickered uneasily after being struck by the lightning.

Han Li, feeling delighted, raised his head and saw gray lightning bolts falling from Liu Shui’er’s gray flag. When Han Li and Shi Kun’s treasures could not handle the final restriction, she had begun to lend her strength.

However, the green mountain peak continuously emitted green threads to replenish the net, so it did not easily give way despite the combined attack of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and the gray lightning. If they dragged on like this, it would be a big problem if the restrictions they had broken earlier were restored.

Han Li and Liu Shui’er were also aware of this, so they poured out their attacks even more fiercely.

Even as the gray wave and gray lightning poured down like rain, the green net stubbornly held on with the support of the Taiyi Azure Mountain. At this, Han Li and Liu Shui’er’s expressions subtly changed.

At that moment, Shi Kun moved.

“Haaah!”

The giant breathed roughly, puffed up his body, and pounded his chest with both fists.

Every time he punched with his body, which had become filled with gray energy, gray light orbs flew out. It was a fatal blow to the green net, which was already barely holding on.

The net, which had stubbornly blocked the attacks of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and the gray lightning, scattered into a light of spiritual energy when the three powers of the Origin combined.

Gray energy, gray lightning, and gray light orbs poured down like rain towards the green mountain peak and the painting. The painting emitted a blue light before finally being torn to shreds and disappearing.

Finally, the last 11th restriction was broken.

A huge cave appeared strangely in the empty space where the painting had disappeared, emitting a milky white light. The entrance was clear. However, unlike the others, Han Li was staring intently not at the entrance but at something else.

It was the green mountain peak that still remained even after the three of them had combined their strength to break the painting restriction. The Taiyi Azure Mountain, having lost the painting that amplified its power, was now only about the size of a person, and its light had dimmed.

Han Li quickly pointed at the Origin Magnetic Divine Light. Then, the black mountain peak appeared above the green mountain, emitting a gray light. The light on the surface of the Taiyi Azure Mountain flickered wildly, resisting the Origin Magnetic Divine Light, but it was already too weak.

Silver incantation characters appeared in the gray energy and clung to the green mountain peak like leeches. It cried out lowly and was sucked under the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, led by numerous incantation characters.

A smile that could not be hidden appeared on Han Li’s lips. And the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain quickly shrank and flew into his sleeve. Due to his bold action, the Taiyi Azure Mountain fell into Han Li’s hands before Liu Shui’er and Shi Kun could even try to do anything.

At this, Liu Shui’er and Shi Kun exchanged glances. They also had some idea of the identity of the Taiyi Azure Mountain, so they were greedy for it.

“It was something I needed, so I took it. I think you two won’t mind too much since we will be able to obtain more treasures in the future,” Han Li said calmly, looking at them.

“Haha, if it’s something that Brother Han needed, then you should have it. I’m fine with it,” Liu Shui’er said, relaxing her expression and smiling.

“I was also interested in the treasure, but since Brother Han took it first, I won’t say anything else,” Shi Kun said, his expression changing several times before he answered with a regretful face.

“Thank you for your understanding,” Han Li said, his face full of smiles.

“It’s nothing. More importantly, now that we’ve broken the restriction, let’s hurry inside and find the treasures. If we find the items that Master and Senior Dan want, we will receive great rewards,” Liu Shui’er said, retracting her gray flag and turning into a streak of navy light, jumping into the hole. Shi Kun also turned into a yellow light without delay and followed.

Han Li was the only one who did not rush, checking his surroundings to make sure there were no problems before flying. It was after Liu Shui’er and Shi Kun’s escape lights had entered the hole first.

As he entered the milky white hole, a brilliant light of energy surged from everywhere. Han Li was startled and put up a blue protective barrier, and the brilliant energy gathered into large and small incantation characters, forming a small light formation around Han Li.

Woong!

The five-colored formation vibrated, and ripples spread through the surrounding space, but Han Li’s expression became rather relaxed. He put his hands behind his back and did not resist the light formation.

The next moment, the five-colored light flared greatly, and he opened his eyes on top of an unfamiliar tower. He was slightly dizzy due to the teleportation.

The tall tower, made of carved blue stone, felt more crude than beautiful. A teleportation formation was spread out beneath his feet, and nearby was a stone staircase leading downwards.

This place seemed like a completely different world from the Guanghan Realm. There was not a single cloud in the azure sky where the sun was shining, and various flowers and grasses were growing lushly on the ground, so he could smell the fresh scent of grass whenever the wind blew.

But more than anything, the mountain near the tower caught his attention. It was not very high, but its shape was unique. The mountain, which was as steep as a blade, was covered in pure white, and a huge purple palace could be seen at the silver-shining summit.

Han Li was looking at the palace when he found Liu Shui’er and Shi Kun standing below the stairs. They also could not take their eyes off the purple palace at the summit.

“……!”

He tried to fly down the tower, but the moment his feet left the ground, he staggered and had to land again. The moment his two feet touched the ground, there was a thud! sound.

It was as if his body had become incredibly heavy, but when he reached out and shook his hands, nothing had changed. At this, Han Li tried to fly again, but he could not rise much and fell, crushed by an enormous force.

Han Li succeeded in flying up to about two feet using his powerful physical strength. Now, not only was his body trembling, but even his blue protective barrier was vibrating violently. He narrowed his brows and examined his body by making the navy light flicker.

Then, he noticed that a yellow energy had been clinging to his body since some time ago. The blue protective barrier did not seem to be able to block the yellow energy at all. At that time, Shi Kun, who was below the stairs, turned his head and shouted.

“Brother Han! The anti-flight restriction here is a bit unique. The power of the restriction doubles every foot you fly up, so I can’t go more than eight feet either.”

“If the pressure of the restriction doubles with height, then even a Saint Race [a powerful race of cultivators] existence would not be able to fly high,” Han Li answered as he slowly landed on the ground. The yellow energy clinging to his body strangely disappeared the moment his feet touched the ground.

“If someone with a sturdy body like Brother Shi is limited to eight feet, then a normal Saint Race cultivator like me would not be able to go more than four feet,” Liu Shui’er added without turning her head. She was still looking up at the palace at the summit. At their words, Han Li’s expression became serious, and he immediately walked down the stone steps and joined them.

“The treasures we’re looking for must be gathered in that palace, so why aren’t you going up?”

“There might be restrictions here, so we have to be careful,” Liu Shui’er finally turned her head at Han Li’s question.

“The fact that a restriction is protecting it is also proof that there are treasures there. Also, the anti-flight restriction is safer compared to other dangerous restrictions.”

“Under normal circumstances, what Brother Han said would be correct, but the restrictions here were left by the immortals of the True Immortal Realm. It won’t be easy.”
