However, he had yet to encounter any opposition on this level, and that made him even more cautious.
Thankfully, his Law Destruction Eye told him that the node within this space was definitely on this seventh level, and it was most likely not far away, so this was a very encouraging sign for Han Li.
All of a sudden, the 13 Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles let loose sharp screeches at once and became noticeably more agitated.
Han Li's heart stirred upon seeing this, and he immediately stopped on the spot. At the same time, blue light flashed within his eyes as he cast his gaze toward a certain direction.
The rainbow light there surged, and two tall and broad figures that were flashing with dazzling rainbow spiritual light emerged. This was a pair of semi-transparent puppets.
These two puppets were around the same stature as an adult human, but their facial features were completely blurred. Their skin was extremely smooth and translucent, and in the instant that they appeared, Han Li was struck by a formidable sense of pressure.
Han Li instantly conducted a careful inspection of the two puppets, upon which a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face. "These puppets are indeed quite interesting, but if they think that a pair of early-Body Integration Stage puppets without any spiritual nature can stop me, then they must be delusional!"
He then swept a sleeve through the air, and his two extreme mountains instantly shot forth. At the same time, the 13 Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles around him also flew toward the two puppets.
Immediately thereafter, he flipped a hand over to produce his silver ruler, which he swept through the air to unleash a silver ruler projection that was over 100 feet in length.
Han Li was displaying derision and disdain toward these puppets, but his attacks were extremely ferocious, and he didn't want to waste any time with them at all.
In the face of these devastating attacks, rainbow spiritual light swirled within the eyes of these puppets, and they suddenly approached one another before joining their four hands together.
Two balls of rainbow light instantly erupted between their four palms before combining as one, and the unified ball of rainbow light began to swell drastically.
Initially, it was only around the size of a human head, but after just a few flashes, it had transformed into a rainbow light barrier.
The dazzling rainbow light shielded both of the puppets, and the barrier began to tremor at a frequency that was untraceable to the naked eye.
At the same time, countless runes of different sizes surged out of the surface of the barrier in a frenzy, releasing a burst of extremely dazzling light.
The silver ruler projection reached the light barrier first before dealing it a vicious strike.
A peculiar scene then ensued!
The silver ruler projection was stopped cold in its tracks around half a foot away from the barrier, then released an anguished wail before being repelled high up into the air.

Han Li's heart jolted upon seeing this, and he immediately made a hand seal, upon which both of his extreme mountains swelled to around 10,000 feet in size before crashing down violently from above.
Two resounding booms rang out as the surface of the light barrier warped and twisted, but the two mountains were also repelled while the light barrier remained completely unscathed.
The 13 Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles also crashed into the light barrier one after another, and the air around the barrier tremored, seemingly attempting to repel the beetles as well.
However, the 13 Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles suddenly let loose sharp screeches and expanded to several feet in size each. They then extended their limbs, which released layers of silver light, then plunged into the space near the light barrier like a series of steel needles.
The space near the light barrier was still twisting and tremoring incessantly, but the Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles remained completely unmoved, as if they had taken root there.
Immediately thereafter, the Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles opened their mouths to expel a golden thread each, which pierced straight through the light barrier, completely disregarding its defensive powers.
The rainbow light barrier suddenly tremored, following which bursts of rainbow light surged directly toward the Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles in a frenzy along the golden threads.
Within the span of just a few breaths, the light barrier had thinned and dimmed significantly, seemingly leaking spiritual power at a rapid rate.
The two puppets seemed to falter slightly upon seeing this, but rainbow light then immediately erupted from their hands again before surging in all directions.
The light barrier flashed and was bolstered by the influx of rainbow light, but the 13 Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles were clearly drawing spiritual power from the light barrier at an astonishing rate. Even though the two puppets clearly possessed other powerful abilities, they were locked in a stalemate with the beetles.
Han Li was initially rather taken aback to see this, but a hint of elation then quickly appeared in his eyes. He made a hand seal, and the 72 flying swords around him immediately transformed into hundreds of sword projections, then converged to form a giant azure sword that was around 100 feet in length.
Han Li pointed a finger toward the giant sword before him and uttered a single word. "Slash!"
The giant sword immediately came crashing down as a streak of azure light.
Perhaps the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords weren't as versatile as the silver ruler, but the combined might of all 72 swords was far above that of the silver ruler.
Furthermore, this set of flying swords was Han Li's bonded treasure, and having been nurtured by him for so many years, it had developed a hint of spiritual nature on top of becoming far more powerful as his cultivation base had progressed.
Even though that rainbow light barrier was extremely profound, it was already struggling against the 13 Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles, so Han Li was confident that this sword strike would be able to shatter it.
However, right at this critical juncture, something unexpected suddenly happened.
In the instant that the giant azure sword came crashing down from above, spatial fluctuations suddenly erupted above Han Li as a ball of black light emerged. The black light then flashed to form five huge identical runes, and a dull thump rang out as a burst of enormous force came crashing down from above, as if five massive mountains had descended from the heavens at once.
If a normal Body Integration Stage human cultivator with a far inferior physical constitution had been standing in Han Li's place, their physical body would've instantly been destroyed by this devastating crushing force.
At the same time, a small purple cauldron emerged silently beneath Han Li.
Black light swept forth from the cauldron, and three other ancient black runes emerged.
As soon as these three runes appeared, Han Li's body was completely immobilized, as if it had been bound by iron chains, and his magic power also ceased to circulate.
On top of that, blue light flashed beside Han Li, and a transparent puppet that resembled an ice statue appeared out of thin air, then slashed a giant transparent sword toward Han Li with devastating force.
Meanwhile, faint golden light flashed on his other side, and the devilish beauty from the Yin Yang Twin Devils appeared with a sinister look on her face before raising both of her hands up into the air.
A ball of green flames and a crimson flying sword shot forth in unison, and the green flames transformed into a huge menacing ghostly head that pounced directly toward Han Li.
