Chapter 1109: Dao Warrior Array
Upon reaching the top of the stone staircase, Han Li arrived before the palace, and his brows immediately furrowed slightly at the sight that he was greeted by.
Every single brick and pillar was etched with runes that resonated with one another to form a massive array, all of which were designed to fortify the palace, making it as structurally resilient as a powerful immortal treasure.
However, there were no other restrictions at the entrance of the palace, and Han Li was able to push its gates open with ease.
He stepped into the palace, then looked around to discover that its interior was far larger than he had imagined.
Directly up ahead was a huge, pentagonal stone platform that was tapered from the bottom to the top, giving it the appearance of an upside-down pentagonal bowl.
The stone platform had a total of five sides, each of which was constructed from a different material, and they were golden, azure, blue, crimson, and yellow in color. At the center of each side was engraved a strange-looking rune, and the structure also appeared to have been an altar.
Han Li could see an antiquated golden lamp on the platform.
The lamp post was slightly curved like the stalk of a lotus flower, while the lamp itself resembled a budding lotus flower, at the center of which was a small, golden flame.
The lamp was radiating golden light that formed a hemispherical protective barrier that encompassed the entire altar, and even though Han Li was standing some distance away from the altar, he could sense the waves of time law power fluctuations emanating from the golden lamp.
"Is that the Eon Divine Lamp? It sure is giving off some formidable time law power fluctuations..."

Right at this moment, Wyrm 3 and the others entered the palace, accompanied by Qi Mozi, Xiong Shan, and the five devilish beings.
Qi Mozi's gaze was immediately drawn to the Eon Divine Lamp as soon as he stepped into the palace, while the five devilish beings were looking at the five-colored altar with fearful looks on their faces.
Right as everyone's attention was drawn to the lamp and the altar, two streaks of light, on black and one white, flew into the palace, then vanished into the ground.
Han Li's expression darkened slightly as he cast his gaze toward Qi Mozi and the others, but right at this moment, Qi Mozi suddenly proposed through voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist Han, I suggest a temporary truce while we're in this Eon Palace. What do you say?"
"I was about to suggest the same thing," Han Li immediately replied without any hesitation.
Of course, he had no trust in Qi Mozi, but as long as Qi Mozi didn't attack him, he was happy to avoid a battle. After all, given the presence of so many people, the situation was very complex, and a battle against Qi Mozi here would only be detrimental to him.
In Han Li's eyes, self-preservation was an objective that had to be prioritized above all else, including his personal differences with Qi Mozi and his desire to obtain the Eon Divine Lamp.
"The bonded soul tablets are also here," Fox 3 suddenly said, and sure enough, there were three palm-sized crimson tablets placed in an orderly fashion within the shadow cast by the golden light emanating from the Eon Divine Lamp.
Those were clearly the bonded soul badges of Qu Lin, Lekima, and the azure-robed man.
There was also a triangular, black tablet placed next to the three bonded soul tablets, and there seemed to have been something etched onto its surface, but it was rather blurry and indistinct.
Han Li noticed that Wyrm 3's attention was primarily drawn to the Eon Divine Lamp and the black tablet.
A curious look appeared in his eyes upon seeing this, but he chose not to ask any questions.
Additionally, there was also a rolled-up golden scroll on the altar, and it was loosely bound by a length of thin, golden string.
A hint of clear excitement flashed through Lei Yuce's eyes at the sight of the golden scroll, and he exchanged an ecstatic glance with Wen Zhong, indicating that the scroll was something of great importance to the Almighty Sword Sect.
As Han Li swept his gaze over everyone present, he couldn't help but wonder where Qu Lin was.
Before he had a chance to ponder this matter any further, the entire palace suddenly shuddered violently, and its gates swung shut on their own.
At the same time, dazzling golden light began to ripple through the air around the palace, and the entire surrounding area was enshrouded in bursts of formidable time law power fluctuations.
Everyone felt as if they had been thrust into a golden space, in which the flow of time had slowed down significantly. As a result, their thoughts and spiritual sense had all been severely restricted.
Han Li immediately made a hand seal, and a burst of golden light erupted out of his body before rapidly expanding to encompass Lei Yuce and the others, while Qi Mozi also released his spirit domain to encompass Xiong Shan and the five devilish beings.
The spirit domains restored everyone's ability to think clearly, but the speed of movement was still severely hampered.
Right at this moment, a massive ring of light suddenly appeared on the ground in front of everyone, following which a series of blurry humanoid figures emerged one after another.
All of these humanoid figures were as tall and thin as bamboo poles, and they were clad in suits of ill-fitting golden armor that clattered as they walked.
All of them were Dao Warriors that appeared thin and frail, but they were giving off formidable auras.
To everyone's surprise, instead of attacking right away, the Dao Warriors spread themselves out in an orderly fashion to form layers upon layers of encirclements around everyone.
Before long, the Dao Warriors had already arranged themselves into an array, and as soon as the array took shape, blinding golden light began to radiate from their suits of armor.
Han Li felt a sharp pain in his eyes from the overwhelming brightness, and he hurriedly narrowed his eyes while channeling his Infernal Devilish Eyes.
A protective, purple film seemed to have appeared over his eyes, making the blinding, golden light more bearable to look at, and everyone else was also adopting their own measures to protect their eyes against the golden radiance.
Han Li could see streams of runes of different colors flowing out of the armor worn by the Dao Warriors, and these streams of runes transformed into bursts of light of different colors that surged back into the Dao Warriors' bodies.
With these influxes of light, the Dao Warriors began to undergo strange transformations. One group of Dao Warriors received an influx of azure light, and their bodies quickly swelled to around twice their original size, while each of them also acquired an azure longsword.
The neighboring group of Dao Warriors received an influx of yellow light, and their bodies swelled to thrice their original size while also transforming into imposing stone golems with massive stone hammers in their hands.
The influx of blue light liquefied the suits of armor worn by the affected Dao Warriors, turning them into puddles of golden liquid that flowed down the Dao Warriors' bodies and onto the ground below.
As for the crimson light, that set the suits of armor worn by the Dao Warriors alight while also granting each of them a large, fiery saber.
Only the Dao Warriors that received an influx of golden light didn't take on any physical changes, but each of them had been equipped with a corkscrew-tipped golden spear.
"What's going on? How are there Dao Warriors of so many different attributes here at once?" Wyrm 3 exclaimed with an incredulous expression.
"Every single one of these Dao Warriors is comparable in power to a Golden Immortal, and there has to be at least five hundred of them here! On top of that, all of them are enhanced by the law powers of the five elements! How is this possible?" Fox 3 exclaimed.
"Looks like I had too low an opinion of that old bastard, Tai Sui," Qi Mozi mused.
"What's going on here, Fellow Daoist Lei?" Lan Yuanzi asked.
"I... I don't know, either," Lei Yuce replied, clearly also very much taken aback by this turn of events.
He was the one who knew the most about the Eon Pagoda out of everyone present, but even so, he had still been surprised on many occasions, so his knowledge of the Eon Pagoda was clearly far from comprehensive.
"The Dao Warriors have taken on transformations of different attributes because the array that they've set up is resonating with that five-elemental altar," Han Li analyzed.
"You're saying that the altar is the thing that gave rise to all these transformations?" Wyrm 3 asked.
