An earth-shattering boom rang out as the two giant swords clashed, and Han Li was able to keep the white sword at bay, but he was sent flying back through the air from the force of the impact, throwing up a mouthful of blood in the process.

With his time law powers severely suppressed by the Eon Divine Lamp, he was no match for a Great Encompassment cultivator.

However, despite the fact that he had come out on top in that clash, Daoist Master Dao Yin was stunned to see that Han Li managed to survive that attack, and he was also astonished by the seemingly endless bag of tricks that Han Li was able to pull from.

Wyrm 3 paid no heed to the clash taking place between Han Li and Daoist Master Dao Yin as she sped toward the five-colored altar, but at the moment, the altar was enshrouded within a fiery barrier released by the Eon Divine Lamp.

She chanted an incantation as she raised her hands upward, and a series of dark red law threads flew out of her body, while the dark red light in the surrounding spirit domain rapidly converged toward her.

As more and more law threads emerged, her complexion paled further and further, as if all of her strength were being slowly sapped away.

However, there was a determined look of resolve in her eyes as she sped up even further in her chanting.

The surrounding space rumbled violently, and the dark red law threads intertwined to form a red wheel projection the size of a house.

There were six black holes dotted around the wheel, within each of which was a burst of black light that was revolving incessantly, forming a vortex that was giving off a burst of indescribable power, causing the nearby space to rumble violently.

Wyrm 3 thrust her palms forward, and the dark red wheel instantly flew forward while revolving rapidly before crashing into the fiery, golden barrier.

Jets of golden flames erupted out of the fiery barrier as it trembled violently, but those flames were all snuffed out by the layer of black light over the dark red wheel's surface upon contact.

An agitated look appeared on Daoist Master Dao Yin's face as he was forced to turn his attention to Wyrm 3, and he cast a string of incantation seals into the fiery, golden barrier to fortify it.

In response, Wyrm 3 opened her mouth to release several balls of blood essence, following which her aura instantly became extremely feeble and diminished.

The balls of blood essence fused into the dark red wheel as plumes of blood mist, and it instantly began to accelerate in its revolution, releasing a vast expanse of black light that swept toward the fiery barrier.

Before long, the fiery barrier was overwhelmed by the black light released by the wheel, and it exploded into countless specks of golden fire.

Only then did Daoist Master Dao Yin realize that Wyrm 3 was using the laws of reincarnation.

Never had he imagined that these two High Zenith cultivators had both mastered one of the three paramount laws, and their degree of mastery over their respective law powers wasn't inferior to that of the average Great Encompassment cultivator.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and Lei Yuce and the others were also expending a great deal of effort just to maintain the array, so they were unable to assist Daoist Master Dao Yin at all.

"Fellow Daoist Han, now's your chance!" Wyrm 3 yelled.

Her complexion was as pale as a sheet, and she had collapsed to one knee, as if all of the strength had been drained from her body.

Meanwhile, Han Li had already darted through the eradicated barrier of fire as a streak of golden light, but he was rushing toward the Eon Divine Lamp as opposed to the altar.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what are you doing?" Wyrm 3 exclaimed in an alarmed manner.

At this moment, there was a rather dazed look in Han Li's eyes, and it seemed that his attention was entirely fixated on the Eon Divine Lamp, almost in an obsessive manner.

Daoist Master Dao Yin was furious to see this, and he let loose a loud roar as he pointed a finger at the Eon Divine Lamp from afar.

Simultaneously, he bit through the tip of his own tongue before expelling a mouthful of blood essence.

The Eon Divine Lamp shuddered, and the lamp oil within it began to churn violently, raising a vast expanse of scorching, golden flames that swept toward Han Li.

However, Han Li seemed to be completely oblivious to all of this. His desire had already completely overwhelmed his capacity for rational thought, and there was a deranged look on his face as he channeled his Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra with all his might.

Manifestations of his five time-attribute law treasures appeared around him, forming a spherical, golden light barrier around his body as he charged into the sea of fire.

The manifestations of the five time-attribute law treasures instantly began to converge toward him, compressed by the surrounding golden flames, and the golden light barrier was also gradually beginning to thin out.

However, Han Li displayed no intention of backing down as he continued to forge ahead with tightly gritted teeth.

After just a few seconds, the five time-attribute law treasures gave out, and the surrounding golden light barrier was eradicated, exposing Han Li's body directly to the flames.

A burst of excruciating, scorching pain surged through his entire body, and an agonized look appeared on his face as a hint of lucidity surfaced in his eyes, but he then gave a cold harrumph as a look of resolve reappeared on his face.

He reached out through the flames to grab onto the Eon Divine Lamp before pulling it toward himself.

The flames on the lamp instantly converged to form a fiery dragon that climbed its way up his arm, instantly devouring his entire arm and close to half of his body.

Han Li could clearly see the skin, flesh, and sinew of his arm slowly melting away to expose the bone underneath, which was gradually becoming charred black by the golden flames.

However, deep within his soul, there was a voice that was constantly consoling and encouraging him.

"Just persevere a little more, and you'll have it... It'll all be worth it once you claim the lamp... You're almost there, don't give up... It's almost yours..."

In a desperate effort to claim the lamp, Han Li channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and all of his true spirit bloodlines at once, completely uncaring of the fact that doing so could trigger severe bloodline backlash.

At the moment, the Eon Divine Lamp was the sole object of his fixation, and he was willing to risk everything to obtain it!

A furious look appeared on Daoist Master Dao Yin's face as he sped toward the lamp, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

Right as he did so, Wyrm 3 was somehow able to muster up the strength to strike, and the dark red wheel flew directly toward the five-colored altar at her behest.

An alarmed look appeared on Daoist Master Dao Yin's face upon seeing this, but it was already too late to turn back.

A burst of five-colored light surfaced over the altar in an attempt to ward off the red wheel, but it was completely futile, and a resounding boom rang out as a huge hole was smashed into the altar.

Almost in the exact same instant, Han Li's Spirit Refinement Technique began acting on its own, restoring a hint of clarity to his muddled mind.

Right at this moment, a loud cry rang out beside his ears.

"Fellow Daoist Han!"

Han Li turned with a dazed look in his eyes to discover Lei Yuce roaring at him with all his might.

"Are you really going to release that devilish deity and doom the entire Golden Origin Immortal Region just to satisfy your own selfish desires? The altar has already been broken, if the lamp is also taken, then that devilish deity will surely be freed!"

Han Li shuddered violently upon hearing this, and he suddenly realized the situation that he was in.

He hurriedly released the Eon Divine Lamp as he shot back in retreat, but the golden flames wrapped around his arm refused to let him go.

In response, Han Li removed the Profound Heavenly Gourd from his waist, then thrust his palm into its underside, and a green vortex instantly emerged from the mouth of the gourd to suck in the golden flames clinging to his arm.

As soon as the flames surged into the gourd, its green exterior instantly turned a bright red color, as if it were being scorched from the inside.

Han Li replaced the gourd back to his waist, then looked down at his own incinerated arm, and he couldn't help but shudder as a sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

What happened to me? Have I fallen under someone's control?

Han Li quickly retraced all of the events that had taken place since he set foot into the Eon Pagoda, and he was able to ascertain with a high degree of confidence that he hadn't fallen under anyone's control.

However, the desire in his heart had been slowly mounting this entire time, but the process had been so subtle and gradual that he hadn't noticed it.

Furthermore, it seemed like everyone who had entered the Eon Pagoda had fallen under the same influence, which slowly magnified their desires over time.

That was why they had destroyed the altars to claim those treasures without any regard for the consequences. It seemed that anyone who had any desire to obtain the Eon Divine Lamp would ultimately be led to it like moths to a flame.

All of a sudden, Han Li's gaze fell upon the huge hole that had been blasted into the altar, where plumes of dense, black mist were rising up before flowing into the palace.

A projection of the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree appeared over Han Li's arm, and it began to quickly regenerate at a rate that was discernible even to the naked eye, but it wasn't going to be fully healed anytime soon.

Han Li rose up into the air, then channeled his Infernal Devilish Eyes as he peered into the hole in the altar.
