A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality c1-2248

  A series of light formations emerged around the sword formation, and layers of light barriers appeared alongside clouds of mist of different colors to completely inundate the giant ape.

  At this point, the small crimson canoe was already floating on a boundless sea of blood.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang chuckled coldly at the sight of the defensive measures Han Li was adopting, and he swept both of his sleeves toward Han Li in unison.

  The sea of blood beneath him immediately rose up as a giant wave that was several hundred feet tall before sweeping toward Han Li with devastating might.

  The temporary formations clashed with the massive wave, and all of the light and mist that had been released by the formations were instantly destroyed, as if they had encountered the bane of their existence.

  Even the formations themselves crumpled like papier-mâché structures in the face of the wave of blood.

  The gigantic wave then surged toward the center of the sword formation, upon which streaks of azure sword Qi emerged to form an azure wall, which stopped the wave of blood cold in its tracks.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang was quite surprised to see this. This sea of blood was something that he had refined using an extremely poisonous substance from the Elder Devil Realm, and it was capable of instantly reducing everything that it came into contact with into nothingness.

  Due to the fact that he was a clone, the power of this ability was naturally greatly hampered, but it still should've been able to crush all cultivators below the Grand Ascension Stage. As such, it came as quite a shock to him that Han Li had managed to keep the attack at bay so easily.

  The streaks of azure sword Qi that emerged out of the sword formation seemed to be very ordinary, but the sea of blood was completely ineffective against them.

  Of course, as a Grand Ascension cultivator, Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang naturally had more tricks up his sleeve. Seeing as this wave of blood wasn't achieving the desired effect, he immediately made a hand seal before pointing a finger at the sea of blood around him, and hundreds of fist-sized balls of blood instantly took shape around him.

  These balls of blood then transformed into winged crimson silkworms that pounced directly toward the barrier formed by azure sword Qi.

  Han Li's pupils contracted upon seeing this, and a five-clawed azure dragon suddenly sprang out of the azure sword barrier at his behest. The dragon let loose a thunderous roar and opened its mouth to expel a barrage of sword Qi that tore all of the crimson silkworms into shreds.

  However, in the next instant, a wave of blood washed over these dismembered silkworms, and they instantly regenerated before continuing to fly onward as if nothing had happened. As they approached the azure barrier, they opened their mouths to expel translucent crimson threads that were as thin as strands of hair, but a crisp clattering sound rang out when they struck the sword barrier.

  Countless streaks of sword Qi clashed with the crimson threads, and not only were the latter not torn into shreds by the sword Qi, they became extremely viscous instead and bound themselves to the sword Qi. Meanwhile, the silkworms that had released these crimson threads suddenly spread their wings before flying back in retreat, following which the hundreds of crimson threads clumped together to trap a portion of the sword Qi.

  As a result, a gap was opened up in the azure light barrier, and Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang immediately directed another giant crimson wave toward that gap.

  However, right at this moment, a dragon's roar rang out from within the azure light barrier, and a huge dragon's head emerged from the opening before blasting forth a thick pillar of light out of its mouth.

  The wave of blood clashed with the pillar of light amid a deafening boom, and the two seemed to be evenly matched.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang's expression darkened upon seeing this, and he let loose a long cry, upon which another gigantic wave of blood was swept up before hurtling toward the sword formation. It was as if he were attempting to inundate the entire sword formation with this sea of blood.

  In response, the azure light barrier parted, and a five-clawed azure dragon completely emerged. It thrashed violently, and countless azure lotus flowers appeared out of thin air to keep the sea of blood at bay.

  Meanwhile, Han Li paid no heed to this at all, and was appraising the clone holding the small rainbow pagoda instead.

  The disruptive spatial fluctuations released by the ring treasure that had been detonated was about to subside, and that would allow the Rainbow Light Pagoda to function as normal again.

  He had been able to detonate a low-grade spatial treasure to disrupt the Rainbow Light Pagoda, but that was clearly not a sustainable tactic, and he didn't know whether it would work a second time.

  As such, not only were Han Li and his spirit body appraising this clone with rapt focus, even the Provenance Golden Body was keeping an eye on him as well.

  Sure enough, in the instant that the final traces of chaotic spatial fluctuations subsided, the clone that was holding the small pagoda immediately sprang into action.

  He suddenly laid a hand onto the pagoda to release a burst of rainbow light, following which he abruptly vanished in a flash.

  The Provenance Golden Body abruptly opened all six of its eyes to release a layer of golden flames all over its body to protect itself, and at the same time, the spirit body made a hand seal to expel countless green threads out of its body. Green light flashed, and these green threads manifested a suit of green armor.

  This was a tight-fitting suit of armor that appeared over the upper body of the green-skinned Han Li, and there were extremely intricate and beautiful patterns engraved on its surface.

  Just as both the golden body and spirit body were preparing to defend themselves, the clone that was controlling the small pagoda suddenly appeared in the air directly above the sword formation, then immediately flipped his hand over.

  The rainbow pagoda was tipped upside-down, and a giant pagoda projection emerged before descending without any warning.

  A burst of powerful spatial fluctuations instantly enveloped the entire sword formation, immediately following which these fluctuations transformed into a wave of rainbow light.

  In the instant that these fluctuations emerged, Han Li immediately sensed them, and he looked up before waving a giant furry hand up into the air without any hesitation.

  Even higher up in the air, a resounding boom rang out alongside an eruption of piercing light, and a series of palatial projections appeared before also descending from above.

  Meanwhile, the Provenance Golden Body and the spirit body had also sprung into action in unison.

  The spirit body raised a hand to release a ball of red light, which vanished into space in a flash.

  At the same time, the Provenance Golden Body disappeared on the spot as a gust of golden wind.

  In the next instant, fierce winds were swept up above the small crimson canoe, and the Provenance Golden Body abruptly re-emerged. It swung its six arms through the air, and six head-sized balls of golden light shot forth at once, then fused as one to form a golden vortex with a radius of several tens of feet.

  The vortex exerted a burst of enormous suction force toward the canoe down below, causing it to fly involuntarily toward it as a streak of crimson light.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang immediately made a hand seal upon seeing this, and the giant devilish projection behind him raised its head before letting loose a thunderous roar. As it did so, its body swelled drastically to over 1,000 feet tall, and its dozen or so feelers pierced up into the air at once.

  The feelers converged in mid-air and fused as one to form a giant grey spear, which stabbed viciously into the center of the golden vortex.

  An earth-shattering boom rang out as the rotation of the golden vortex decelerated slightly. Immediately thereafter, the giant grey spear pierced through the vortex and continued on toward the Provenance Golden Body with immense force.

  The golden body made no effort to take evasive me
asures upon seeing this. Instead, it conjured up a long golden blade in each of its six hands before slashing them toward the oncoming massive spear.

  A string of resounding booms rang out as the six blades clashed with the giant spear, only to be destroyed and exploded as balls of spiritual light.

  The spear then blurred before abruptly appearing in front of the golden body, following which its tip was plunged into the golden body's chest.

  1. Immortal Galaxy Tree: Ew, now that's just gross

  Chapter 1936: Intense Battle

  However, the tip of the spear only managed to pierce several inches into the golden body's body chest before being stopped cold in its tracks. At the same time, six golden blades appeared in the golden body's hands again before being slashed toward the massive spear.

  The devilish projection down below seemed to have also sensed that something was amiss, and it immediately attempted to withdraw the giant spear, but it was already too late.

  A layer of translucent light appeared over the surface of the Provenance Golden Body, and a burst of immense suction force immediately acted upon the giant spear, thereby completely immobilizing it.

  Right at this moment, countless blade projections rained down from the six golden blades being wielded by the golden body, and the projections came crashing down in a torrential wave that threatened to inundate both the devilish projection and Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang harrumphed coldly upon seeing this before taking a half-step backward, then made a strange hand seal that was accompanied by an unintelligible incantation.

  A buzzing sound rang out from the small canoe, and a crimson light barrier emerged to protect both Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang and the devilish projection.

  The blade projections rained down upon the light barrier like a violent storm, but the barrier remained completely stable and unscathed.

  Not only was this canoe an extremely powerful flying treasure, it also possessed incredible defensive abilities. It was no wonder that Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang was so calm and collected in the face of the Provenance Golden Body's attacks. All of a sudden, the devilish projection raised its head and let loose a low roar, upon which a layer of grey light flashed over the giant spear that was immobilized against the golden body's chest. As a result, the spear softened and transformed into a grey devilish python that was several hundred feet in length. The python had an inky-black horn on its head, and it lashed out with its massive body to wind itself tightly around the golden body.

  If a normal Body Integration cultivator had been caught in the python's stranglehold, their body would instantly explode. However, the Provenance Golden Body was manifested from countless precious materials, and it was virtually indestructible. As such, not only did it manage to remain completely unscathed even as it was bound by the giant python, it suddenly began to expand. At the same time, the six golden blades it was wielding vanished in a flash, and as it waved its six arms through the air, countless golden fist projections were sent hurtling toward the massive python.

  A string of rumbling booms rang out, and the giant python also seemed to possess an extremely resolute body; even though it was sustaining some damage from the golden fist projections, it was able to withstand the blows without too much trouble.

  In retaliation, it opened its mouth and expelled a burst of green Qi directly toward one of the golden body's three heads.

  The green Qi immediately struck the golden body with an overpowering sense of drowsiness, and the expressions on its three faces changed slightly as golden light suddenly flashed from its glabella. A gash was then opened up, and a third vertical eye emerged.

  Golden light flashed, and three streaks of piercing golden light shot forth from within the vertical eye before passing through the green Qi in a flash.

  Strangely enough, the green Qi was completely eradicated as a result.

  The giant python swung its head around and attempted to chomp down viciously onto the golden body's center head, but a huge shimmering golden hand appeared in its path before lashing out in retaliation.

  Thus, the golden body and the massive python began to engage in a melee brawl, and both of them possessed extremely powerful bodies, so it seemed that this was going to be quite a long battle.

  Meanwhile, the giant pagoda projection above the sword formation was flickering unsteadily under the influence of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Talisman, as well as the detonation of another low-grade spatial treasure. The rainbow light that it released was disrupted, and in the end, it fizzled out of existence before it could reach the sword formation.

  Similarly, the palatial projections conjured up by the Nine Palaces Heavenly Talismans were also affected by the pagoda's spatial powers, thereby preventing them from descending as well.

  Right at this moment, a peculiar light suddenly flashed through Han Li's eyes, and he abruptly thrust both of his palms up into the air.

  Two mountains, one black and one azure, emerged out of thin air amid a pair of resounding booms. Each mountain was several hundred feet tall, and they both crashed directly toward the clone that was controlling the rainbow pagoda.

  Meanwhile, the spirit body swept one of its sleeves through the air to release a plume of green threads. These green threads were virtually completely transparent, and they vanished into thin air before abruptly reappearing near the small pagoda, then descended as a net of green threads.

  It appeared that Han Li was attempting to take this treasure as well.

  The clone of Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang remained completely expressionless upon seeing this; he merely raised a hand toward the small pagoda that was hovering in mid-air, and uttered the word "break".

  The small pagoda rotated on the spot, and a gust of fierce rainbow winds erupted from within it. The oncoming green net was instantly torn apart by this gust of wind, and on top of that, the two extreme mountains were also blown back by over 100 feet.

  Immediately thereafter, the rainbow winds completely enveloped the two extreme mountains, following which countless mysterious golden symbols that were very familiar to Han Li appeared around the pair of mountains.

  "Golden seal text!" Han Li exclaimed as his expression changed slightly. Immediately thereafter, a burst of mysterious power suddenly descended upon the two mountains, attempting to forcibly cut off his spiritual sense connection with them.

  If it weren't for the fact that his spiritual sense was virtually as powerful as that of a Grand Ascension cultivator, the connection he had with the two extreme mountains most likely really would've been severed.

  Han Li immediately let loose a roar of shock and fury as he launched his giant furry fists toward the gust of rainbow wind, and two giant golden fist projections emerged out of thin air before crashing heavily into the gust of wind.

  At the same time, a row of silver runes abruptly lit up on the Extreme Essencefused Mountain at his behest, and the mountain expelled a burst of grey light that swept violently toward the rainbow winds.

  Simultaneously, countless streaks of transparent sword Qi were erupting from the other extreme mountain, and these streaks of sword Qi were threatening to tear even the nearby space apart.

  The gust of rainbow wind was extremely powerful, but when the three powers clashed, the rainbow wind tremored violently before disintegrating into specks of piercing light amid a dull thump.

  Meanwhile, the two extreme mountains shot back toward Han Li, and the clone that was controlling the pagoda was quite surprised to see that it had been unable to forcibly take the two extreme mountains from Han Li.

  However, the hint of surprise in his eyes quickly faded, and he made a grabbing motion in an expressionless manner. Spatial fluctuations erupted, and a ball of spiritual light emerged, contained within which was the small Rainbow Light Pagoda.

  All of a sudden, a cold voice rang out from the distance. "Hmph, this brat sure has some tricks up his sleeve. Don't hold back any longer; unleash the Rainbow Light Pagoda's ultimate abil
ity and kill him! Even if he detonates more spatial treasures, he won't be able to disrupt that ability."

  The voice belonged to none other than Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang.

  At present, he was controlling the devilish projection behind him as it was engaged in ferocious combat with the Provenance Golden Body, but the fact that he was still able to issue instructions to his clones clearly indicated that he still had more to give.

  Han Li's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he let loose a thunderous roar as dazzling golden spiritual light radiated from his massive ape body. His arms blurred as he swung them through the air, flinging the two extreme mountains directly toward Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang.

  The two mountains were extraordinarily heavy, and they had been launched by the insane strength of the Giant Mountain Ape. All of a sudden, they vanished into thin air, then reappeared right in front of Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang before crashing heavily into the crimson light barrier released by the small canoe.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang's pupils contracted upon seeing this, and the giant devilish projection behind him instantly transformed into a ball of crimson light that completely enveloped his body.

  Two earth-shattering booms rang out, and the crimson light barrier shuddered violently before being shattered like porcelain.

  The two mountains continued onward and crashed right through the ball of crimson light, but Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang was nowhere to be seen.

  In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted around 200 feet away, and Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang re-emerged.

  However, he had donned a suit of grey devilish armor, and two pairs of crimson wings had appeared on his back. At the same time, a circle of eight fist-sized azure ghostly heads had appeared around his neck.

  All of the ghostly heads' eyes were tightly shut, and they were extremely menacing in appearance. On top of that, their mouths were constantly opening and closing as if they were living creatures, creating quite a harrowing sight to behold.

  Sacred Ancestor Xue Guang wore an enraged expression as he glowered at Han Li with intense resentment in his eyes.
