A hint of surprise flashed through Chi Meng's eyes at the sight of the golden river down below.

"So you've already managed to manifest a Creation Tier spirit domain. But so what? It's only a single river, and it doesn't even contain pure water-attribute law powers. What could you possibly be hoping to do with this?" Chi Meng chuckled, but her mocking laughter quickly died down.

All of a sudden, bursts of formidable time law power fluctuations spread through the air as an undulating mountain range, an azure forest, a radiant, golden moon, and countless specks of fiery starlight appeared within Han Li's spirit domain in rapid succession.

"This is impossible! How could you have manifested such a complete Creation Tier spirit domain at just the early-Great Encompassment Stage?" Chi Meng exclaimed in disbelief.

Spirit domain manifestation was never an easy process, and not only did it require a huge investment of time and effort, it also required access to an immense amount of resources and more than a modicum of luck.

Generally speaking, most cultivators with Creation Tier spirit domains would only be able to manifest a single piece of scenery or a single domain spirit, as was the case with Chi Meng's lava waterfalls and fiery giants, and it was extremely rare to see such a comprehensive Creation Tier spirit domain.

In light of this, Chi Meng was forced to reassess Han Li's power.

With that in mind, she turned to Lan Yan as she ordered, "Lan Yan, you come and help as well."

Lan Yan swayed slightly upon hearing this, seemingly a little hesitant.

"Don't forget about what you asked of me!" Chi Meng snapped in a cold voice.

A resigned look flashed through Lan Yan's eyes upon hearing this, and she reluctantly flew over to Chi Meng's side.

Right at this moment, Xiaobai suddenly found himself momentarily blinded by an unexpected flash of white light.

Immediately thereafter, Chi Meng flew over to his side at an astonishing speed, seemingly completely unaffected by Han Li's spirit domain, then conjured up a semi-transparent light barrier that encompassed both Han Li and Xiaobai.

An ecstatic look appeared on her face upon seeing this, and the nine translucent, crimson dragons on the semi-transparent light barrier instantly sprang to life at her behest, blasting flames out of their mouths toward Han Li's duo.

An agonized howl rang out, and Chi Meng's expression changed drastically as she hurriedly restrained the power of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Dome, only to discover that the two black-robed figures accompanying her were currently trapped within the dome.

Their robes had been incinerated, and both of them had suffered severe burns.

"What happened?" Chi Meng exclaimed in a bewildered manner.

"You really thought I'd fall prey to that dome of yours again?"

Han Li's mocking voice rang out from nearby, following which he arrived before Chi Meng in the blink of an eye, then lashed out with an Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword.

All she had time to do was raise an arm to protect herself before she was sent flying by Han Li's sword.

A jolt of numbness shot through her entire body, while a burst of sharp pain flared up along her arm, and she tumbled through the air for tens of thousands of feet before finally managing to steady herself.

However, before she had a chance to catch her breath, a shower of fiery, millstone-sized meteors came crashing down upon her.

She immediately attempted to take evasive measures, only to discover that a series of azure vines had wound themselves around her ankles, locking her firmly into place.

Her immediate reaction was naturally to free herself from the restraints, but her movements had suddenly become extremely sluggish, leaving her with insufficient time to make any hand seals.

In this dire situation, she let loose a loud cry as her aura erupted outward, forming a ring of scorching flames around her.

This was her nascent flame, and as soon as it was released, it immediately resonated with her fiery spirit domain, causing the lava waterfalls to converge toward her to clash against the meteor shower raining down from the sky.

The azure vines around her ankles were also forced back by her nascent flame, and she immediately rose up into the air to distance herself from the azure forest.

Only now did she finally come to realize that Han Li's time spirit domain had partially reached the Oneness Tier, and her heart immediately sank at this realization.

"What are you two just standing there for? Hurry up and release your spirit domains to counteract his spirit domain!" she snapped at the two black-robed figures as she withdrew her Nine Dragon Divine Fire Dome.

The two of them were aware of the peril that they were in, and they exchanged a glance with each other before releasing their spirit domains in unison.

A layer of black light emerged over both of their bodies, then fused together to form a black light barrier that expanded outward to overlap with the spirit domains of Han Li and Chi Meng.

The entire landscape enshrouded within the black light barrier shuddered violently before sinking around ten feet into the ground, and Han Li and Xiaobai also sank down into the ground by the same margin.

Elsewhere, Weeping Soul was locked in battle against Elder Xi Tang, the latter of which had taken on a ghastly form with a layer of white bone over his face, and as he continued to play the Soul Scattering Ghost Flute, wisps of black mist began to rise up from the cracked earth, forming a massive city.

The city was riddled with thorns and spikes, and there were human heads hanging everywhere. The word "Fengdu" was inscribed upon it in antiquated text, and an extremely formidable baleful aura was constantly emanating from it. [1]

Elder Xi Tang was standing atop the city, and the sounds produced by his flute were becoming more and more unbearable to listen to by the second.

The gates of Fengdu slowly swung open, and dense, black mist surged out from within alongside countless fearsome ghostly creatures, all of which swarmed toward Weeping Soul in unison.

All of a sudden, a blanket of dark clouds appeared over the entire sky, while a layer of white frost spread over the ground.

Not only was Weeping Soul not fazed in the slightest, she couldn't help but lick her lips in excitement as she charged straight into the almighty ghostly army while swinging her Infernal Ghost Claw through the air, tearing swathes of ghostly creatures to shreds with every single swing.

As she became more familiar with the Infernal Ghost Claw, she was able to unleash more and more of its power, and none of the ghostly creatures in her path stood any chance.

Before the ghostly energy of the eradicated creatures had a chance to dissipate, they were sucked into Weeping Soul's body through her nostrils to further enhance her powers.

Meanwhile, Qu Lin was locked in battle against Elder Jian Qiu.

The latter swung his sword at the former's neck, and Qu Lin immediately lowered himself slightly before opening his mouth to bite down onto the golden longsword, which was undoubtedly a graded immortal treasure.

A loud crack rang out as the longsword was shattered, and a large chunk had been bitten out of it.

"How dare you!" Elder Jian Qiu roared in a furious manner, distraught over damage to his sword.

Qu Lin backed away with a cold expression while chewing on the chunk of sword in his mouth.

He took a glance in Han Li's direction with a look of mixed emotions. Never had he imagined that they would meet again under circumstances like these.

The joint spirit domain unleashed by the pair of black-robed figures had significantly increased the gravitational force in the area, counteracting much of the power of Han Li's spirit domain while also slowing his speed of movement.

Having had some time to catch her breath, Chi Meng sprang into action once again, combining the eight lava waterfalls in her spirit domain to form a massive vortex that began closing in Han Li.

Not only was the vortex giving off immense heat, it was also releasing tremendous suction force that threatened to draw Han Li in against his will.

Han Li remained completely unfazed as he swept a sleeve through the air, and the mountain range in his spirit domain rose up into the air at his behest before flying to his side.

As it flew through the air, it left layers of rippling time law power fluctuations in its wake to keep the fiery vortex at bay.

The two black-robed figures were standing directly beneath the mountain range, and they experienced a moment of sluggishness in their spiritual sense as the time law power fluctuations washed over them. By the time they returned to their senses, the mountain range had already fallen upon them.

The mountains had no substantial form, so they weren't all that heavy, but the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree growing upon them did have a substantial form, and their root systems extended out of the mountains to bind the pair of black-robed figures.

The roots pierced through their skin and into their bodies, causing them to cry out in pain before falling silent, and their combined spirit domain quickly faded away, leaving Chi Meng to look on with a grim and agitated expression.

She could see that Jian Qiu and Xi Tang were also struggling in their respective battles, and a furious look appeared on her face as she yelled, "I'll give you credit for backing me into a corner like this, but this is as far as you go!"

Immediately thereafter, she raised both hands to the sky, and in that instant, all of the surrounding world's origin was incinerated into nothingness, creating something akin to a vacuum around her.

Her flowing, red locks rose up into the air, while golden flames erupted out of her eyes, giving her the appearance of an ancient deity of fire with terrifying energy fluctuations surging out of her body.

With a casual wave of her hand, she released a golden flame that resembled a flower petal, sending it flying directly toward Han Li.

In response, Han Li channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts before throwing a punch in retaliation, unleashing a massive fist projection to clash against the fiery flower petal.

A resounding boom rang out as the golden flower petal passed through the fist projection without any trouble before continuing on toward Han Li.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he slashed his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword through the air, unleashing an arc of golden lightning that struck the flower petal to scatter it into countless specks of golden fire.

Through the golden flames, Han Li could see that an enormous, fiery, golden flower had appeared behind Chi Meng, with its petals fanned out behind her like the canopy of a peacock.
