Right at this moment, the golden puppet abruptly turned around to look at its assailants with a wooden expression, and bright golden light emerged over its body alongside a series of golden lightning veins.
A loud crackling sound rang out as thick arcs of golden lightning emerged. There were countless lightning runes dancing within the arcs of lightning, and they were giving formidable law power fluctuations.
Immediately thereafter, the golden puppet raised an arm before throwing a forceful punch, and a thick bolt of golden lightning erupted forth before striking the gray jade scepter.
A resounding boom rang out as the jade scepter shuddered violently, then tumbled back through the air end over end. The dense gray mist that it was emitting was torn apart by the golden lightning, and the spiritual light that it was giving off was also a little scattered, indicating that its spiritual nature had been harmed.
The golden puppet also shuddered violently, and only after stumbling back a few steps did it manage to steady itself. At the same time, the golden lightning surging over its body had also dimmed significantly.
The two Dawn Fall Sect Golden Immortals were ecstatic to see this, and the two giant balls of light instantly transformed into two massive hands at their behest, one black and one white, before grabbing toward the golden puppet.
Right at this moment, two gray humanoid figures suddenly joined the golden puppet in a wraith-like manner.
As it turned out, two of the gray statues standing on either side of the palace had suddenly sprung to life, and yellow spirit patterns had appeared over the entirety of their bodies.
The two statues were giving off radiant yellow light that was interspersed with bursts of tremendous law power fluctuations, and each of them was wielding a pair of yellow sabers, which they slashed through the air.
Two pairs of giant yellow saber projections were sent flying through the air, crossing over one another to form a pair of huge crosses.
Serrated edges appeared on the edges of the saber projections, giving them a menacing appearance, and they were giving off incredibly heavy law power fluctuations that caused all of the space in their wake to twist and warp violently.
Two resounding booms rang out as the pair of giant hands were destroyed, reverting back into a pair of large flags that were sent flying back through the air.
Meanwhile, the two gray statues remained completely still like a pair of immovable mountains.
Qi Tianxiao's trio was stunned to see this, as were Han Li and the others.
Right at this moment, all of the gray statues on either side of the palace shot forth at once, landing at the center of the palace. There were somewhere between 40 to 50 of them in total, and they instantly surrounded Qi Tianxiao's trio.
"Trespassers must be killed!" the statues roared in unison in a ghastly voice that resembled the sound of metal grating on metal.
Powerful soundwaves swept through the air in all directions, causing the entire palace to buzz and tremble.
The soundwaves converged from all directions, and ripples that were visible even to the naked eye appeared in the air, inundating Qi Tianxiao's trio.
The three of them immediately began to tremble uncontrollably as painful looks appeared on their faces.
Right at this moment, bright yellow light began to radiate from the dozens of gray statues, and the yellow light quickly connected together to form a giant yellow go board projection around the three Golden Immortals in the blink of an eye.
Every single line on the go board projection was giving off extremely heavy law power fluctuations, and these fluctuations were compounding upon one another.
Encompassed within the go board projection, Qi Tianxiao's trio instantly felt as if there were countless mountains weighing down upon them, and even with their Golden Immortal Stage powers, they were rendered completely immobilized.
After successfully trapping the trio, the dozens of puppets slashed their blades through the air at once, unleashing a storm of saber and sword projections.
At the same time, all of the golden patterns on the ground abruptly lit up, releasing bursts of white flames that instantly inundated the entire go board projection, transforming it into a sea of flames.
Waves of scorching heat spread in all directions, causing the nearby space to shimmer and warp, and even Han Li and the others in the distance were feeling the intense heat.
All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and Han Li and the others were astonished by what they were seeing, but there was also no lack of schadenfreude in their expressions.
"Thank heavens you didn't free me, Uncle. It's much safer here than over there," Jin Tong said with a hint of lingering fear in its voice.
Han Li offered no response, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, Feng Tiandu's expression had darkened significantly, and he wanted to assist his allies, but there was no way that he could leave after unleashing this cage of chains.
Looking at the sea of flames before him, a hint of remorse welled up in his heart.
If he had known that there were such formidable restrictions and puppets here, then he would've allowed Luo Qinghai and the others to test the waters first.
However, thanks to his greed, he had turned everyone against him, and there was no longer any possibility for a peaceful resolution. Furthermore, they had to deal with these restrictions and puppets as well, and they were well and truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Right at this moment, one part of the sea of fire rippled slightly, and a streak of gray light shot out before landing near the palace gates to reveal Qi Tianxiao.
At this moment, his entire body was charred black, and most of his hair had also been incinerated. His complexion was extremely pale, and there was blood trailing down from the corners of his lips, giving him a very sorry appearance.
After landing on the ground, Qi Tianxiao stumbled a few steps before steadying himself, and there was a hint of alarm and horror in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the sea of white flames began to rapidly recede, and before long, it had entirely vanished into the ground.
Shortly thereafter, the two large flags from earlier drifted down onto the ground, but the spiritual light emanating from them had completely faded, indicating that they had also been severely damaged.
As for the other two Dawn Fall Sect Golden Immortals, they were nowhere to be seen, and it was clear that their bodies, nascent souls, and even their storage treasures had been incinerated into nothingness by the white flames, while only the pair of resilient immortal treasures remained.
Feng Tiandu's expression darkened even further upon seeing this.
Han Li and the others were also all astonished by the power of these white flames.
Before long, the yellow light radiating from the dozens of gray statues also faded, as did the yellow go board projection.
The gray statues then turned and made their way back to their original spots before standing still again, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Meanwhile, the golden puppet continued to step forward, and it quickly arrived in front of the golden chair, following which the silver pill flew out of its grasp and into the living corpse's mouth.
Everyone could only watch as the pill rolled down into the living corpse's stomach, following which a layer of gentle green light quickly appeared over its body.
A few seconds later, the green light faded, and the living corpse's aura was slightly elevated.
Han Li and the others were all very surprised to see this.
Right at this moment, another one of the dragons engraved onto the pill cauldron opened its mouth to release a burst of five-colored light.
Almost at the exact same moment, yet another dragon did the exact same thing, and a vast golden cloud quickly took shape in the sky above the palace again, then transformed into a swirling golden vortex.
A terrifying aura that was even more formidable than that of the previous pill tribulation erupted out of the golden vortex, and everyone was immediately struck by a sense of asphyxiation, as if there were a huge rock weighing down onto each of their chests.
The immense pressure was weighing down upon the entirety of Feng Tiandu's spirit domain, so he was the one who was most heavily impacted. He felt as if he had been dealt a heavy blow to the chest, and his complexion instantly paled, while his spirit domain also began to ripple.
Luo Qinghai immediately pounced on this opportunity as radiant blue light emerged over his entire body, forming countless blue waves that swept toward the black spirit domain with tremendous power.
An opening was blasted into the spirit domain, and a speck of blue light appeared beside Luo Qinghai's hand before shooting out of the opening like lightning, vanishing out of sight in the blink of an eye.
Feng Tiandu immediately swung around and swept both sleeves through the air, releasing two balls of black light with countless runes flashing within them.
The two balls of black light quickly fused into the spirit domain, instantly stabilizing it, while the opening that had been created by Luo Qinghai was mended.
At the same time, bursts of black light converged to suppress the blue light around Luo Qinghai once again.
A cold sneer appeared on Luo Qinghai's face as he began making a string of hand seals while chanting an incantation, and the blue light around his body formed a light barrier with countless wave projections flashing over its surface.
"What did you do just now, Luo Qinghai?" Feng Tiandu asked in a cold voice.
Luo Qinghai offered no response as he continued to make more hand seals, and the blue light barrier around him grew brighter and brighter.
It was unable to keep out the Origin Separation Law Chains, but all of the surrounding black light was kept at bay.
A cold look flashed through Feng Tiandu's eyes, but before he had a chance to do anything, two bursts of water-droplet-like silver light emerged from within the golden vortex.
Arcs of lightning were flashing incessantly over the burst of silver light, which then descended to fall upon the roof of the golden palace.
A vast expanse of blinding silver light instantly enveloped the entire golden palace, and all of the runes that riddled the palace instantly lit up once again, releasing dazzling golden radiance to keep the silver light at bay.
The combination of silver and golden radiance was so bright that everyone was temporarily blinded.
......
Meanwhile, the entrance of the stone gates at the center of the valley suddenly flashed momentarily, following which a streak of blue light flew out from within before shattering to form a blue light screen.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly upon seeing this as they rose to their feet.
The blue screen of light rippled momentarily, following which a clear image appeared on its surface, depicting the scene during which the two Dawn Fall Sect Golden Immortals had flown into the palace.
"Those bastards! They said they were going to explore the mountain range, but they actually snuck into the palace!"
"The Dawn Fall Sect has broken the agreement!"
Everyone in the valley was furious, and they collectively turned to the only remaining Dawn Fall Sect cultivator present, an elderly Golden Immortal with a rotund frame.
The elderly man seemed to have been prepared for this eventuality, and he immediately began spinning like a top, then fled into the distance as a ball of azure light.
Everyone looked on with tightly furrowed brows, but no one set off to pursue him. Moments later, everyone turned their attention back to the entrance before them, then began to exchange glances with one another.
