A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

"You can be proud of yourself for forcing me this far. Now, it's time for you to die!" Chi Meng declared in a cold voice.

Her eyes had transformed into two radiant orbs of red light that seemed to have boundless seas of fire burning within it, and in the next instant, countless golden flower petals detached themselves from the giant flower behind her to fill the entire sky.

The temperature around her spiked drastically, to the point that even the air itself was being incinerated, while the surrounding earth was rapidly melting away into more molten lava.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he condensed his own spirit domain to encompass an area of only several hundred feet around him, following which the moon above his head began to revolve at his behest, while a storm of golden sand rose up from the mountain range below.

Immediately thereafter, the forest on the mountains began to rustle incessantly, while the river of time and the specks of fiery starlight in the sky rose up and descended, respectively, converging toward one another.

The golden flower petals that were hurtling toward Han Li were able to burn through space, thereby granting them incredible speed, but as soon as they flew into his time spirit domain, they immediately slowed down to a crawl, following which they began to disintegrate bit by bit.

The short distance of only several hundred feet somehow proved to be an insurmountable obstacle for these golden flower petals, and with each agonizing inch that they managed to advance, a bit more of their power would be stripped away.

By the time the flower petals finally reached Han Li, all that remained of them were tiny specks of light that resembled feeble fireflies.

"Impossible!" Chi Meng exclaimed in incredulity.

From her perspective, it looked as if Han Li's spirit domain had slowly whittled away the power of her flames, but in reality, what had happened was that the flames had simply been reverted back in time to their initial form by the power of his Five Elemental Illusory World.

All external objects that entered the Five Elemental Illusory World would be rejected by the immense time law powers within, forced to revert back to their initial state.

A cold sneer appeared on Han Li's face as he stepped forward to arrive before Chi Meng in the blink of an eye.

She was aware that as one of the three paramount laws, the laws of time were naturally superior to all other law powers, but never had she imagined that the gulf would be so severe. In the wake of this astonishing turn of events, she had already lost all will to fight and immediately turned to flee.

"Where do you think you're going?" Han Li sneered as he expanded his spirit domain once again to encompass Chi Meng, and the moon above his head swooped down from above to pursue her.

The moon was formed by the Mantra Treasured Axis, and the closer one's proximity to it was, the more severely they would be impacted by its time-slowing abilities. As the moon descended upon her, Chi Meng could feel herself getting slower and slower, and her agitation was growing by the second.

Left with no alternatives, she raised a finger to her own glabella, and a fiery mark appeared on the glabellas of the two black-robed figures trapped under the mountain range in Han Li's spirit domain.

A burst of violent power erupted out of the pair of fiery marks, and the two black-robed figures exploded into a pair of fireballs that expanded in all directions at an alarming rate.

Intense waves of heat swept through the air, instantly reducing the mountain to countless particles of golden sand, while much of the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree forest was also destroyed.

The damage sustained by the spirit domain was instantly reflected in Han Li, and he swayed unsteadily on his feet as blood trickled down from the corner of his lips.

Taking advantage of this brief delay, Chi Meng sped away into the distance as a streak of red light.

Meanwhile, the battle between Qu Lin and Jian Qiu had already concluded, with the former adopting his true Gold Devouring Beetle form to devour the latter.

Elder Xi Tang had also been defeated, with Weeping Soul's Infernal Ghost Claw pressed against his dantian and glabella.

Elder Xi Tang was an extremely formidable cultivator in his own right, and given the special nature of his law powers, the average Great Encompassment cultivator would've definitely been no match for him, but unfortunately, Weeping Soul was a perfect counter to his powers.

Right at his moment, Lan Yan suddenly began yelling from afar in a pleading voice, "Don't kill him! Please don't kill him!"

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he said, "Don't kill him for now, Weeping Soul. We can find out more information about the Heavenly Court from him."

Weeping Soul nodded in response, and the vertical eye reappeared on her glabella before releasing a beam of red light with the intention of immobilizing him, but to everyone's surprise, he had a very fiery and unyielding personality, and a ghostly creature abruptly sprang out of his right eyeball to bite down onto hi head as he yelled, "You're not getting anything out of me!"

At the same time, a burst of black light appeared within his glabella, broadcasting his intention to self-detonate.

"Look out!" Han Li yelled, and Weeping Soul immediately sprang back in retreat.

In the next instant, an earth-shattering boom rang out as a pillar of black light rose up into the sky, then transformed into an enormous, black tornado that swept through the air in all directions.

The self-detonation of a Great Encompassment cultivator's dantian was akin to a cataclysmic natural disaster, and Han Li was traversing rapidly through the storm while connecting Xiaobai, Weeping Soul, Lan Yan, and Qu Lin to himself using ropes formed by immortal spiritual power in the process.

All of a sudden, countless arcs of silver lightning descended from the heavens to form a lightning array that encompassed all of them before vanishing in a flash.

......

There was a spacious area above an underground river in a certain valley outside Gilded City.

This was the destination of Han Li's lightning teleportation array, and as soon as they arrived, Qu Lin immediately cupped his fist to him in a grateful salute as he declared, "Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist Han. I'll be sure to repay you if the opportunity arises."

"It's fine, I just so happened to have been passing through. Why were those Heavenly Court cultivators pursuing you?" Han Li asked.

"I'd like to find out myself. They simply began targeting me for no stated reason. In any case, this isn't the first time I've been hunted by the Heavenly Court, so this is nothing new for me," Qu Lin replied.

Han Li then turned to Lan Yan, who was looking very crestfallen, and asked, "Aren't you a disciple of the Nine Origins Temple, Lan Yan? What were you doing with those Heavenly Court cultivators?"

"I wanted to save my brother," Lan Yan replied with a sullen expression.

"Lan Yuanzi? What does this have to do with him?" Han Li asked.

"Right now, all that remains of my brother is a fragment of his soul. After returning to the temple, I tried everything I could to save him, but none of it worked. I found out that Elder Xi Tang was capable of resurrecting my brother, so I turned to him for help. They learned that I had met Qu Lin in the Eon Pagoda and was familiar with his aura, so they used me to track him, and that's why I was with them," Lan Yan explained.

A hint of killing intent flashed through Qu Lin's eyes upon hearing this.

"Do you know why those people were hunting Fellow Daoist Qu Lin?" Han Li asked.

"I do not. They were just using me as a tool, so of course they weren't going to tell me anything," Lan Yan sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Han, do you still recall Huai Yangzi and those other people that we encountered in the Eon Pagoda?" Qu Lin suddenly asked.

Han Li immediately realized what he was implying, and a peculiar look appeared on his face as he asked, "Are you suggesting that they want to capture you to extract your law threads?"

"Why speculate when we can just find out?" Weeping Soul suddenly interjected.

Everyone turned to her with perplexed expressions, and instead of offering an explanation, Weeping Soul reopened the vertical eye on her glabella, following which a beam of dark red light shot out from within.

Within the beam of light was a soul fragment that was struggling violently against a dark red chain, and it was identical in appearance to Elder Xi Tang.

"How did you manage to secure this soul fragment? He already detonated his own nascent soul and summoned that creature to devour his soul!" Qu Lin exclaimed.

"I have my ways," Weeping Soul replied in a smug manner.

Qu Lin didn't pry any further, but it was clear that he was still very curious.

"She's a Xing Beast that possesses innate yin soul law powers, so this is no difficult task for her," Han Li explained with a smile, and the look of despair on Lan Yan's face instantly turned to one of renewed hope upon hearing this.

Han Li noticed the change in her expression, but he didn't address it as he turned to Weeping Soul and said, "Take a look and see what you can find."

Weeping Soul nodded in response, and a translucent, crimson thread shot out of her glabella before piercing straight into Xi Tang's soul fragment, causing it to instantly fall still.
