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

Han Li gasped with an odd expression, muttering, “The Giant Augmentation Technique! To think that you were capable of such great power. It seems that your cultivation has already reached the peak of late-Nascent Soul stage.”


Meanwhile, he unconsciously glanced at an area of the Greatnorth Essence Light and his expression blanked once more. With an icy glint from his eye, his sleeve trembled and he summoned the Triflame Fan into his hand.

Gui Ling reached out to the silver axe and grabbed it before looking down at Old Devil Qian in the distance. Then with both hands, she chopped down.

A ten-meter-long silver streak shined from the axe and was released from its edge to whistle through the air. It left a white mark in its wake as if it was tearing through space itself.

Old Devil Qian was shocked to see this.

He was confident in his cinque devils, but he didn’t dare to boldly resist the strike.

Without another thought, he suddenly raised his hand, holding onto a short snow-white blade.

In a cold flash, the blade fell, chopping down towards his hand.

But before it was severed, he spat out a mist of crimson blood onto it. In an instant, the blood essence fused together and caused it to extend into an oddly shaped meter-long crimson saber that was both narrow and sharp.

With the blade in the hand and the huge silver crescent approaching him, he waved it with a grave expression and the strange sword disappeared from sight. A moment later, the cinque devils warped in front of him as if to receive the attack.

Contrary to Han Li’s expectations, crimson and silver radiance soon filled the air as their attacks clashed without producing even the slightest sound. He saw the slim crimson saber strangely bend at several angles, trembling and on the verge of collapse.

But then, the cinque devils suddenly leapt forward and merged together, forming a giant skeleton on par with Gui Ling.

A brittle snap rang out as the long crimson saber snapped into pieces. It was clear to see that the silver crescent had smoothly cut through.

The huge skeleton then let out a wild cackle and lifted its skull to spew out a grey mist.

The mist wasn’t large by any means and seemed to be condensed from essence. When the crescent chopped at it, however, it hadn’t cut through but rather slowed down as if swimming through a dense liquid.

Soon after, the silver streak let out a bright hum as it was instantly stained grey and thoroughly absorbed.

The mist then circled in the air before returning to the skull’s mouth.

Gui Ling’s voice roared, “Corrupting Devil Qi! Since your devils are capable of this, it seems they were once the bodies of Nascent Soul cultivators. Ordinary corpses wouldn’t be able to produce such an ability!”

Old Devil Qian coldly laughed, “What I used to refine these united devils aren’t something of your concern, demon. But since you know how fearsome it is, let’s have you learn of their combined might as well!” Then he raised his hand and struck the giant skeleton with several spell seals.

The huge skeleton let out a piercing drone and its emotionless eyes shined with crimson light. It began to walk towards Gui Ling, each step causing the ground to tremble.

Han Li’s gaze flickered and fixed on the huge skeleton. With the Triflame Fan unfolded, his heart tensed, but soon relaxed.

He quickly flung his other hand and released the Yang ring above his head.

Hums resonated in the air, and the Greatnorth Essence Light above him formed huge silver waves. Specks of light continuously lit up and endless strings of light shot out towards the huge skeleton in a dense barrage.

A sharp whistle sounded out from the skull as a layer of grey light shone from within.

Many of strings struck its surface, but were scattered and had little effect.

Han Li’s expression stiffened as he began to pour more magic power into the ring.

A massive change occurred.

Now the light strings gathered together before striking, condensing into tens of ropes before blurring out of sight.

Repeated pops sounded out.

A dozen thumb-sized holes peppered the skeleton’s body, some even piercing through its skull.

The Corrupting Devil Qi wasn’t able to block the attack.

Willing the Yang ring to condense the Greatnorth Essence Light together had greatly increased their power.

But soon, Han Li’s faint trace of happiness had instantly turned sullen.





Chapter 1029: Blood Devil Pearl


After the giant skeleton was damaged from the condensed Greatnorth Essence Light, white radiance lightly circulated throughout its body and mended the holes almost as fast.

Han Li frowned. It appeared he would have to deal with Old Devil Qian first.

While the huge skeleton appeared to be moving slowly, each step travelled a huge distance forward and it quickly arrived in front of Gui Ling.

With crimson light brimming in its hollow eyes, it held its hands towards its body and summoned two of its rib bones into them, creating three-meter-long sabers.

Then with a flip of the hands, an inky devil flame lit on each of them.

When Gui Ling saw this, she coldly snorted and stepped forward to strike the devil down with her axe.

Silver light flashed and filled the air with thunderous booms. The bone sabers immediately surged several times in size as they moved to block the axe in a cross, stopping it from cleaving down on its skull.

Gui Ling wasn’t very surprised by this, rather, a vicious intent soon lit up in her eyes, “Tiger, devour!”

Light flared from her weapon once more, and a giant beast’s head suddenly emerged from it, appearing to be that of a single-horned white tiger.

The beast gaped its mouth open and quickly lunged forward, biting down on the skeleton’s skull. It clearly devoured the head and the tiger immediately withdrew.

The silver axe not only had a fearsome blade, but an artifact spirit as well.

Gui Ling pressed the attack and spun the ax like a wheel of death as she slowly ground down the skeleton with cold light.

Torn apart from the immense force, bone fragments rained freely around them.

Soon into her assault, she stilled her axe and breathed out yellow flames onto the ground, intending on dealing the finishing blow to the cinque devils.

Contrary to the situation, however, Old Devil Qian’s alarm had disappeared when he saw that the horned woman planned on using demon flame to destroy his devils, he simply muttered an incantation and activated a devilish technique.

An icy wind immediately brushed past the raging yellow flames and restrained them.

Then, five crystalline black strings emerged from the yellow demon flames and shot out from them, leaving an explosion over thirty meters wide in its wake.

Several clouds of grey Qi burst forth from the ashes, soon fading away to reveal five flawless skeletons standing in place.

Gui Ling shouted out in alarm, “Intangible Devilform! Who would’ve thought that your incarnations have cultivated such an ability? Do you not have any fear of future backlash?”

“How could I worry over such a trivial thing? As if I’d give them the opportunity,” the old devil indifferently replied. Then with merely a thought, a devilish art was quickly activated.

The skeletons leapt forward and fused into their massive form once more. Following that, it immediately summoned the two bone sabers as it fiercely charged towards Gui Ling.

This time, she didn’t command the axe’s artifact spirit to attack, instead choosing to meet the blades head on.

An axe glowing with icy light and two slender bone sabers wrapped in white mist began to fiercely clash without end, each strike creating a deafening boom around them. The trembles seemed to be affecting the hall itself as if it would soon collapse around them.

Han Li looked at the scene with narrowed eyes. Although Gui Ling managed to restore her magic power and turn into a giant, the remnant Greatnorth Essence Light nearby was unintentionally damaging her. No matter how durable her crimson armor may be, she wouldn’t be able to hold out against the skeleton much longer within the light.
