Chapter 1730: Throwing Mountains

However, as his body was enveloped by the five-colored light, the surrounding space instantly became as hard as steel. Simultaneously, an immense force pressed down on him, rendering him completely immobile.

Five streaks of purple lightning flashed, then shot out with an astonishing roar of thunder.

Han Li suddenly found himself in mortal peril.

However, he was no ordinary being. The paleness on his face vanished in the next moment, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes, and he let out a cold snort through his nose.

A golden light flashed on his body, and the illusory three-headed, six-armed Dharma Idol once again manifested from him.

But this time, the manifesting Dharma Idol was vastly different from its previous appearance.

The Dharma Idol itself was dazzlingly bright, as if painted with a layer of gold, resembling a divine statue of pure gold.

This was precisely the Dharma Idol Golden Body that Han Li had just cultivated.

At this moment, Han Li opportunely opened his mouth, and a cluster of black light shot out. With a flash, it transformed into a stream of dark energy that merged into the golden body.

One of the Dharma Idol's three heads, whose eyes had previously appeared somewhat vacant, suddenly became exceptionally vibrant, and a faint layer of black energy subtly emerged on its face.

Its form shifted, and its several-zhang-tall resplendent golden body instantly moved to shield Han Li.

Meanwhile, several purple lightning arcs had already flashed forth, but the golden body unhesitatingly swung all five of its arms simultaneously.

After several muffled "rumbling" sounds, five golden light pillars shot out from its palms, directly meeting the incoming attacks.

The golden light and purple lightning arcs immediately collided nearby.

Although the purple lightning was powerful, it was still shattered by the light pillars, losing nearly half its force. However, the light pillars themselves also dissipated.

Given this situation, Han Li could escape the danger by simply controlling the golden body to launch another round of attacks.

However, the remaining lightning arcs gave the golden body no chance to launch a second wave of attacks.

With a "bila" sound, they flashed again, and the purple lightning streaks strangely appeared within arm's reach, striking down fiercely.

But at that critical moment, all of Han Li's golden body's arms suddenly blurred and instantly vanished from their original positions.

The next moment, the five purple lightning arcs trembled and were caught by five golden palms that suddenly appeared from thin air.

They seemed to emerge directly from the void, without the slightest warning.

As the five fingers exerted force, after a few crackles of lightning, the arcs were forcefully crushed and dispersed.

Countless electric threads shot out, a small portion of which struck the Dharma Idol's golden body.

However, these electric threads dispersed with a mere flash, unable to cause any harm to the golden body.

However, the five pillars in the distance rumbled continuously with thunder, and five more lightning arcs immediately emerged, appearing ready to shoot out again.

But this slight delay was sufficient for Han Li, who was temporarily trapped by the five-colored light barrier.

With his powerful physical body and extensive Daoist magical abilities, how could he possibly be truly trapped by the restriction?

Immediately, he was seen rapidly muttering incantations. Black light flowed over his demonic armor, and his body suddenly swelled enormously, as a layer of coarse, golden-yellow fur sprouted all over him.

With a flash of blue light in his eyes, two tusks partially emerged from the sides of his mouth.

He had transformed into a giant ape, over ten zhang tall.

With blue eyes, golden fur, and a mouth full of tusks, its appearance was extraordinarily ferocious.

However, from its clear, cold eyes, Han Li's original semblance could still be clearly seen, maintaining the same composed expression as before the transformation.

The Sky-Fiend Demonic Armor on the giant ape also grew proportionally with its body, and the barbs on its surface became about a foot long, flashing with an astonishing cold gleam that made anyone who saw it shudder with fear.

This was precisely the Mountain-Yue Giant Ape transformation art from the "Awakening of Insects" technique Han Li had recently cultivated.

As soon as he transformed into the giant ape, Han Li felt a surge of heat gush from his Dantian, rapidly flowing through all his meridians.

The strength of his physical body seemed to have increased by as much as forty to fifty percent.

It should be noted that Han Li's physical body was already extremely powerful; with this sudden surge of nearly fifty percent, its terrifying strength was unimaginable.

The next moment, the giant ape he had transformed into immediately displayed astonishing power.

A low roar erupted from the giant ape's mouth, and its two furry arms abruptly swung upwards.

The five-colored light barrier that had trapped him violently shook, then instantly dispersed.

Han Li immediately regained his freedom.

However, the five-colored light mist, slightly further away, flashed and immediately rolled back in, giving Han Li no time to breathe.

The giant ape unhesitatingly flew towards the silver firebird high above, tapped it with one hand, while its other hand made a grasping motion at the black mountain peak to one side.

After a clear cry from the giant firebird, it circled once, then transformed back into a massive fireball and plunged straight down from high altitude, appearing to fall directly onto the golden giant ape.

As the black mountain peak swayed, with a "swoosh," it vanished into thin air.

After a loud bang, silver firelight burst open near the giant ape, stirring up waves of silver flames.

The five-colored light mist that was just about to approach was instantly pushed back by the flames, unable to get even half an inch closer to the giant ape for a moment.

The golden giant ape, amidst the sea of fire, merely flipped one hand. With spatial fluctuations, the ten-zhang-tall black mountain peak suddenly appeared from thin air and was effortlessly lifted by a furry palm.

As if the mountain weighed nothing at all!

Immediately, Han Li did something that would surely startle anyone who witnessed it.

His transformed giant ape, after a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, suddenly bent the arm supporting the mountain. With half its body exerting force, it silently hurled the Primordial Magnetic Mountain with brute force, as if it were a mere stone.

This was not a magical art activating a treasure, but simply a throwing motion powered by Han Li's immense physical strength.

Although the Primordial Magnetic Mountain was not enlarged to its limit, nor was its full weight released, it still weighed over one hundred thousand catties. After Han Li threw it with such brute force, a piercing sonic boom immediately erupted in the air.

The black mountain peak instantly transformed into a blur of black shadow and shot out. Wherever it passed, a hazy white hurricane was strangely stirred up, and simultaneously, a thick white streak mysteriously appeared in the void after the mountain flashed past.

From a distance, the streak continuously twisted and swayed, and strong spatial fluctuations continuously emanated from within it, as if a spatial rift was gradually forming.

It was clear how much force Han Li, in his giant ape form, put into this throw! But his target was astonishingly one of the five purple-gold pillars.

Although the surface of this pillar instantly surged with lightning arcs and released several purple arcs to attack the incoming massive black shadow, the black mountain peak completely ignored them, its speed not slowing down in the slightest.

The next moment, the black mountain peak shattered the purple lightning intercepting it on the pillar's surface and slammed into it forcefully.

With a flash of purple and black light, an earth-shattering roar immediately erupted!

A dazzling, black, grey, and purple light cluster exploded from the pillar, as if a blazing sun had appeared, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at it.

But the giant ape, Han Li's transformation, flashed blue light in its eyes, clearly discerning the situation within the light cluster. Without a word, it moved an arm; a furry hand made another grasping motion towards the light cluster, then quickly flipped its wrist.

With a "louchi" sound.

Spatial fluctuations appeared above its palm, and a giant object flashed into existence, then settled onto the giant ape's palm.

It was precisely the black mountain peak that had just been thrown.

The mountain's surface was still pitch black, but not a single scratch was visible. This alone demonstrated the incredible toughness of the Primordial Magnetic Mountain.

The giant ape's actions barely paused. With a thunderous roar, it forcefully shook its arm again, swiftly hurling the mountain out once more.

This time, its target was another purple pillar.

Thus, the piercing sonic boom resumed, and with another loud bang, the mountain fiercely slammed into the pillar.

A similar dazzling light cluster exploded into existence.

At this point, the light from the first pillar had completely dissipated, revealing its clear appearance.

The originally ten-zhang-tall purple-gold pillar now had more than half of its upper section astonishingly gone, and nearby on the ground were scattered purple fragments, resembling neither stone nor gold.

Although this pillar was refined using unknown wondrous methods, in terms of toughness, it simply could not compare to an exotic treasure like the Primordial Magnetic Mountain.

After all, this mountain was a wonder born of heaven and earth, inherently incomparably hard. Furthermore, it had been mixed with unknown grayish-white stones and had undergone a second refinement using a secret refining art from the True Immortal Realm.

Even if Han Li wanted to personally destroy it, he would likely be at a loss, and only by slowly melting it bit by bit with spirit fire would it be possible.

Moreover, with the previous strike, the mountain also carried the immense divine power that Han Li possessed after transforming into the giant ape.

If the pillars still couldn't be destroyed under these circumstances, Han Li would probably immediately turn and leave, unwilling to waste any more time there.

Just like that, the golden-furred giant ape, Han Li's transformation, used the Primordial Magnetic Mountain as a weapon and threw it five times in one go, instantly obliterating more than half of each of the five pillars, ruining them beyond repair.

The five-colored light barrier originally shrouding the medicine garden immediately lost the support of the pillars. After being consumed by the silver firebird several times, it completely collapsed and vanished.

This restriction was thus completely broken by Han Li through brute force.

Upon seeing this, the golden-furred giant ape immediately formed a hand seal with its large hand. Golden light flashed on its body, and its form shrunk again as its fur receded.

In a blink of an eye, Han Li restored his original appearance amidst the spiritual light, releasing the mystic transformation of the "Awakening of Insects" technique.

He glanced at the remains of the pillars, and a hint of shock subtly appeared in his eyes.

He had only recently integrated the true blood of the Mountain-Yue Giant Ape, yet the transformed giant ape already possessed such great divine abilities, which was truly beyond his expectations.

It seemed this transformation was more suitable for him than other true spirit transformation arts.

After transforming into other true spirits, he would merely gain a few more profound magical abilities or be able to sense and mobilize more heaven and earth spiritual energy. None of them directly and significantly enhanced the strength of his physical body like transforming into the Mountain-Yue Giant Ape.

Otherwise, if he had known from the start how useful this transformation was, he wouldn't have needed to waste any time at all. He could have directly used this method to break the restriction and would not have faced such great danger earlier.
