A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1001-Chapter 1200)

The Ice Phoenix was slightly surprised to see this, but it wasn't flustered in the slightest as it opened its sharp beak.

A gust of white gale-force winds erupted from its mouth, which howled through the air, causing the golden net to be knocked off course and preventing it from descending.

The golden net was then torn apart by the powerful winds and disappeared moments later.

Han Li was astonished to see this and hurriedly tried to bring out the Eight Spirit Ruler that he was hiding up his sleeve.

However, the Ice Phoenix took the initiative this time as it spread open its wings and flapped them violently toward Han Li.

The sound of howling wind and explosive thunder erupted as a vast expanse of white glacial flames appeared in the air. The glacial flames took a split second to condense before transforming into a massive wave over 300 feet tall that came crashing down toward Han Li.

As for the Ice Phoenix itself, it had already dove headfirst into the white glacial Qi.

Its enormous body then disappeared into the glacial Qi amid a burst of white light, nowhere to be seen.

Han Li's lips twitched upon seeing this as blue light flashed through his eyes. He raised a hand to summon a ball of purple flames, which he hurriedly hurled in front of him.

A spluttering sound rang out as purple flames rose into the air, positioning itself in front of Han Li.

The glacial wave struck the Purple Apex Flames barrier without any reservation. The white and purple glacial flames clashed and intertwined. They were both glacial flames but they were completely intolerant toward one another, like water meeting fire. However, it was quite clear that the white glacial flames were far more powerful than the Purple Apex Flames. Moments later, the purple flame barrier began to tremor violently before falling toward Han Li.

Han Li's expression darkened further upon seeing this as he gritted his teeth. The Eight Spirit Ruler in his sleeve abruptly disappeared while he pressed his palms against the purple barrier of flames. All of a sudden, it was as if all of the purple flames over his body had found a vent as they surged over his arms and into the barrier in a frenzy. In the blink of an eye, the falling purple barrier was righted once again.

However, right at this moment, a white light flashed within the massive wave as a pair of talons that were over a foot in length appeared from the glacial flames, grabbing down toward Han Li's arms like lightning.

The talons were shimmering with glacial light and Han Li could tell that they were extremely powerful just by looking at them. Even though Han Li had cultivated the Brightjade Arts in the past, if those talons were allowed to strike their targets, his arms would be permanently disabled for sure.

However, Han Li seemed to have anticipated this attack in advance. All of a sudden, two clumps of azure threads shot forth from his sleeves, managing to keep the shape talons at bay.

Azure light then flashed as the threads rapidly wound themselves around the pair of talons, locking them firmly in place.





Chapter 1122: Spatial Powers


A faint cry of surprise sounded from within the glacial flames. However, what transpired next was even more astonishing.

In the air several tens of feet above Han Li, white light suddenly flashed as a spatial rift was torn open. A translucent beak half a foot in length emerged from the spatial right before pecking down toward Han Li's head like lightning.

In the face of a surprise attack from such a close range, even if Han Li were able to react in time, there was simply not enough time for evasion.

Furthermore, he had been focused entirely on the glacial flames in front of him and hadn't set up any defensive measures. However, what was strange was that even as the beak was about to pierce through the layer of purple flames over his body, his expression remained completely unchanged and he didn't even raise his head.

A loud thump erupted as a silver first appeared, seemingly from thin air, before slamming into the beak.

Silver light flashed during the clash and the beak was knocked off course by several feet.

Spiritual light then flashed beside the beak as an azure figure emerged, in the process of withdrawing a silver fist.

This was none other than the humanoid puppet.

As soon as Han Li realized that a clash with the Ice Phoenix was inevitable, he had instructed the humanoid puppet to protect him, which was why it was able to divert that lethal attack just in the nick of time.

After having its surprise attack thwarted, the sharp beak immediately disappeared. The white glacial flames before Han Li suddenly shrank back before converging to form the body of that tenth grade Ice Phoenix.

At this point, the demon beast was only around 20 to 30 feet in size, significantly downsized from its original stature.

It looked down at the azure threads binding its talons and harrumphed coldly. Its talons suddenly expanded in size by severalfold as it attempted to struggle free from the threads.

However, azure light flashed over the surface of the threads and they remained firmly in place despite the Ice Phoenix's best efforts.

A hint of surprise flashed through the Ice Phoenix's eyes upon seeing this. However, it then abruptly opened its mouth to blast out two blinding streaks of white light, which circled around its talons.

As the white streaks of light flashed through the air, the azure threads were severed like wilted grass.

Only then did the white light pause in the air and reveal their true form.

They were two small white swords that were emanating faint glacial light.

"Myriad Year Profound Jade!"

Han Li immediately recognized the material that the two flying swords have been crafted from. At the same time, his brows furrowed with concern.

Those azure threads were a manifestation of the light shimmering on the surface of the Heavenvoid Cauldron in his sleeve. It appeared that even Divine Spirit Treasure wouldn't be able to do anything to a tenth grade demon beast if he couldn't unleash the treasure's full power.

However, he had no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle with this opponent. All he had to do was to travel a further 1,000 feet or so, upon which he would be able to flee into one of the two smaller teleportation formations that would take him away from this place.

Just as this thought flashed through Han Li's mind, the Ice Phoenix spread open its ice wings again as if it were going to attack. Han Li's expression darkened as the purple flames over his body receded, and his body also blurred before splitting into three.

Thus, three identical projections appeared, all of which were completely azure in color, so there was no way to identify which one was Han Li's true body.

The Ice Phoenix was surprised to see this and the white light shimmering along its wings immediately faltered. Right at this moment, the three projections transforming into three streaks of azure light and fled in different directions. All of them were traveling so quickly that they were covering over 100 feet in the blink of an eye. On the other side, the golden flying swords and Fire Ravens that were engaged in battle with the hundreds of translucent flying swords also abruptly flew away, heading straight for the teleportation platform in the corner of the hall.

The Ice Phoenix faltered slightly upon seeing this before flying into a thunderous rage. It let loose a sharp cry as white light flashed over its body, which shrank drastically, transforming it into a young woman who appeared to be just over 20 years of age in the blink of an eye.

This was a woman in silver palatial robes with the beauty of a celestial maiden!
