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

Of course, it wasn’t possible for him to truly block the strike in his given time.

With immense ease, the huge sword shred through the claw streaks in an instant.

In the mere moment this delay bought the devil, he created a layer of black devilish around him. A series of explosions boomed, and a huge ball of light erupted in front of the Elder Devil’s body, producing a blinding radiance.

Silver lightning then flashed from the surface of the ground, followed by Han Li’s emergence. He raised his head to examine the air and frowned.

Although the huge sword had struck, it didn’t actually cut through the devil’s body. It was as if the attack had casually slid past the devil.

Just as Han Li was bewildered by this, something within the blinding radiance in the air began to stir. In a gust of piercing wind, a black figure shot down towards Han Li, blurring away from sight before appearing right on top of him.

“Drop dead!” A thunderous roar shouted out and a huge pitch-black blade cleaved down upon him with lightning speed.

Although Han Li was alarmed, he had the Thunderstorm Wings already prepared. He disappeared without a trace and the black saber missed its mark.

A muffled echo sounded out and a meter-deep cut appeared in the ground.

Thunder rang sixty meters away and Han Li reappeared, staring at where he originally stood.

This huge deadly figure was the Elder Devil.

But at that moment, he was clearly cut into a sorry figure. One of his arms had been reduced to a stump and there was a fist-sized hole in his shoulder. He also carried several thick claw marks on his stomach as if they attempted to disembowel him.

With their combined alliance, the devil was unable to block all of the attacks and suffered.

Seeing that Han Li had escaped from him, a malevolent glint appeared in his eyes and he fiercely leered at Han Li.

In a flash of light, he pulled his hands apart and his huge saber ripped in two, releasing slightly smaller glowing blades that let out a shrieking pierce as they whistled.





Chapter 1046: Devil Slaying


The Elder Devil swung his newly split sabers and released countless palm-sized black crescents in a dense barrage towards Han Li. He took no notice of the other cultivators and was hellbent on pursuing him alone.

This came as no surprise. Among the enemies that faced him, Han Li and Lin Yinping were the easiest to eliminate, but the Endless Sky Saintess Lin Yinping had Grand Imortal Xu with her.

Of course, the Elder Devil only concluded this because he never had an opportunity to fight Han Li at full strength.

When Han Li saw the devil’s overbearing assault, he maintained complete calm and waved his sleeve. Out produced a small shield that moved in front of him, quickly expanding to protect his front.

He then glanced at the devil and let out a sigh.

The Elder Devil looked at his expression from a distance and shortly paused in surprise at his reaction, but then, he immediately sensed a strange spiritual pressure from underneath him.

Before he could glance down, he heard a slash and a silhouette wrapped in yellow made an abrupt appearance from the ground ten meters behind him.

Soon after, the figure let out a shout and swung down the huge silver axe she held in her hands.

This was the horned woman Gui Ling who had remained hidden underneath where Han Li originally stood.

Before the blade of the axe even fell, its fearsome spiritual pressure shook the nearby ground causing the earth to quake with foot-deep holes.

The Elder Devil’s face fell and no longer moved to assault Han Li. He hurriedly turned around and sliced his swords in a cross. Two huge blades of light surged out to meet the silver axe just in time.

Black and silver light erupted as the attacks collided. A shockwave of both icy and searing air bloomed in every direction.

The black light blades managed to temporarily stop the huge axe’s descend for just a second before disappearing.

During that delay, the Elder Devil clasped two of his hands in an incantation gesture. With the sounds of cracking bone, his body surged in size. His clothes tore away to reveal a layer of sleek armor made from foot-wide black scales.

Inky devilish Qi covered his wounds and his flesh squirmed beneath, quickly healing itself.

After turning in the air, an ominous glint flashed in his eyes and he took a deep breath. He opened his mouth to release a wide shockwave at the axe. When they collided against the huge silver axe, the sound seemed to become solid and blocked the axe from falling any further.

The devil suddenly let out an ancient incantation and the black scales covering his body brightened, igniting in a dense layer of impressive black-purple flames.

Gui Ling’s heart trembled at the sight and she jumped back. With a loud shout, her body ferociously expanded and a layer of green armor fitted around her.

The silver axe grew alongside her, glistening with a brilliant glow. She chopped down with even greater strength.

Her sudden growth had surprised the devil. Although his own form was larger than hers, he had no choice but to stop his incantation as he raised his blades to meet the axe.

Upon impact, the both weapons let out a resounding boom, shaking the air around them. Already on guard, the Elder Devil suffered no damage. Rather, he used the momentum of the attack to quickly fly backwards.

But as he retreated, he wore a mocking smile. The azure halberd in one of his hands lit up with black flames and he launched it towards Gui Ling’s body.

It traveled with an immense speed matched only by a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it struck Gui Ling’s armor and flashed.

Before the Elder Devil regained stable ground, he began his incantation once more in preparation to employ even more vastly powerful techniques. The halberd alone wouldn’t be enough to exterminate that tenacious horned woman.

But at that moment, something entirely unexpected occurred.

A faint black light burned three meters behind the devil. An inch-long crystalline black blade appeared silently in the air. Then with a flicker, it disappeared without a trace.

The Elder Devil suddenly gained a terrifying premonition and was about to fly away.

But before he could even try, one of his heads felt as if it had been stabbed through, and his spiritual sense cut with agony.

No matter how powerful his was, the surprise attack halted his movements.

In that short delay, a nearly indiscernible red line appeared at the neck of one of the heads. Soon after, it tumbled to the ground without any warning, and a fountain of blood spurted from its vacant neck.

A distance away, Han Li was holding his hands in a strange gesture and his complexion was pale and exhausted.

The pain from the Elder Devil’s spiritual sense was from his Great Development Technique’s Soulfright Thorn, though it was a simplified version.

Although he hadn’t cultivated the last few layers of the Great Development Technique and its power was far less potent than the true Soulfight Thorn, it had a great effect on anyone caught unaware. As such, he called this attack the Spirit Stun Thorn to differentiate the two.

Although the technique was much weaker, it still left him completely dizzy after using it once.

The Elder Devil’s remaining head wore an expression of disbelief, and howled with pain and rage. Devilish Qi soon entirely coated his body.

The devilish Qi burst all around him before he disappeared from sight.

Sixteen meters away, an astonishing change occurred.

A cloud of black Qi made a sudden appearance, followed by the maimed Elder Devil tumbling out from it. Although the loss of one of his heads hadn’t killed him, it severely injured him.

Gui Ling swinging down her axe; the beheading of the Elder Devil; his escape afterwards; all occurred in the blink of an eye.

The scene left the others completely dumbstruck!
