A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1401-Chapter 1600)

All of the other demon monarchs were also elated to see that they'd secured the crystal so easily.

"Hehe, there's only one infernal river spirit in an infernal river, and there's no way that we wouldn't catch its attention after making such a massive commotion. It may be quite powerful, but it's no match for our combined powers," one of the crimson-robed figures cackled.

The jointed attack they had unleashed just then appeared to be quite simple, but it was something that they had rehearsed countless times. Only then were they able to slay this infernal river spirit with such apparent ease.

Mu Qing swept a sleeve through the air, pulverizing the oncoming Yin ghosts with a streak of green light as she said, "Now that we have this thing, let's hurry up and pass through this river as well. We're lucky that nothing more powerful than Yin ghosts have shown up on this occasion."

No one else had any objections, and they all flew toward the other end of the passageway as streaks of spiritual light.

At this moment, the high-grade demon beasts had received an order from Liu Zu and the others, and all of them also sped into the passageway.

Han Li and the golden ape followed suit.

For high-grade beings like Han Li, these silver fish and Yin ghosts were naturally nothing to be feared.

Furthermore, they were also flying far more quickly than low-grade demon beasts.

Thus, it only took them a few moments to arrive at the other end of the passageway, where they found themselves in a boundlessly cavernous space.

At this point, there was still a constant stream of low-grade demon beasts charging into this space through the passageway.

After a while, all of the demon beasts as well as the profound ghosts and puppets finally made it through the passageway. The puppet and ghost army was almost completely intact without any casualties, but a portion of the low-grade demon beasts had perished, and many of the survivors were riddled with injuries. Thankfully, all demon beasts had remarkably recovery abilities, so that wasn't a cause for concern.

However, the demon monarchs paid no heed to this and were gathered together to discuss something.

Meanwhile, Han Li hovered in the air, surveying his surroundings.

At this moment, he was at an altitude of tens of thousands of feet, and from his vantage point, he could see that everyone was situated in a bleak barren river bank comprised entirely of black soil and dark yellow grass that was a few inches tall.

The water from the infernal river formed a white sky overhead that encompassed the entire earth down below.

After ascertaining their rough location, Liu Zu flew over and ordered, "We'll proceed as we originally planned with the Yin Armor Profound Ghost leading the way, and the puppets taking up the rear."

Everyone was immediately cast into turmoil as they hurriedly reorganized themselves into the designated formation.

Meanwhile, Han Li remained behind Mu Qing alongside the golden ape.

Mu Qing was currently standing atop her giant golden flower, and was situated at the center of a group of high-grade demon beasts.

Liu Zu and the white-haired woman led the 8,000 ghostly soldiers at the front, and the two crimson-robed figures were naturally allocated to the rear, where they would control all the puppets.

The entire army flew through the air at a rapid rate like a massive black dragon, leaving the passageway behind in the blink of an eye.

Several hours later, the army had flown out of this vast expanse of black land, yet the sight that greeted them next made Han Li drawn an involuntary sharp breath.

There were stark white bones all over the ground, stretching as far as the eyes could see. All types of bones were littered over the plains up ahead, and all of them were of different shapes and sizes, clearly having belonged to many different types of living beings. The bones were all strewn haphazardly over the ground, and they appeared to have been there for an extremely long time.

Furthermore, there was a putrid smell wafting toward everyone from deeper within the plains, and that made them even more uneasy.

However, the army only stopped momentarily before they were led into this harrowing land of bones by Liu Zu and the white-haired beauty.

The army progressed onward for close to 10 kilometers, and their surroundings were still littered with piles upon piles of bones while the putrid odor in the air was only growing more and more unbearable.

Han Li had already summoned a layer of protective spiritual light to ward off this godforsaken stench, and blue light was flashing his eyes he constantly surveyed his surroundings.

Even though his spiritual sense was still severely restricted, he was able to see very far with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes.

All of a sudden, Han Li's calm expression stiffened, and he let loose a low cry.





Chapter 1483: Fierce Battle


Mu Qing turned her head to the side at almost the exact same moment, and a peculiar look appeared on her face.

There in the distance, a vast expanse of grey mist was visible, and it stretched for as far as the eyes could see. The white bones beneath this grey mist all rose up and formed skeletons of strange configurations.

These skeletons weren't very large, but they had eyes that glowed with unsettling red eyes, and all of them turned their attention to the earth abyss army.

In the blink of an eye, the grey mist had spread to an area that was quite close to the earth abyss beings.

All of the low-grade demon beasts were becoming quite uneasy.

Han Li's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a glance at Mu Qing, only to find that she remained completely calm and collected, as if she'd already predicted this well in advance.

Just as Han Li was feeling rather perplexed, a low cry suddenly erupted from the rear. Two streaks of crimson light then shot forth from the puppets behind him, heading directly toward the oncoming grey mist.

The two streaks of crimson light transformed into two gusts of crimson winds before crashing into the grey mist.

A string of resounding booms rang out as the crimson winds and grey mist clashes, and both sides transformed into massive pillars of wind that rose straight up into the sky.

As the grey mist and crimson winds intertwined, hordes of nearby skeletons were swept up and completely pulverized.

However, the remaining troops in the skeletal army rose into the air with grey mist revolving around their bodies, hurtling toward the earthy abyss army at low altitudes.

These skeletons filled up virtually the entire sky, and there were far too many of them to count.

Han Li was feeling quite astonished upon seeing this.

Right at this moment, the white-haired beauty at the front of the party let loose a strange cackle as she rotated on the spot. A massive ghostly shadow with disheveled hair abruptly appeared behind her, then grew to several thousand feet in size in the blink of an eye.

The ghostly shadow suddenly opened its cavernous mouth to blast forth a burst of green Qi, which swept up vast numbers of skeletons up above.

A peculiar scene then ensued.

As soon as the green Qi came into contact with the skeletons, the grey mist around the skeletons' bodies dissipated, and they fell from the sky, having been completley dismantled.

Furthermore, there seemed to be no end to the green Qi emanating from the ghostly shadow's mouth, and in conjunction with the two gusts of crimson winds, they quickly eradicated the immense horde of skeletons. Thus, the crisis was averted even without the need for intervention from Mu Qing and Liu Zu.

Han Li couldn't help but draw a sharp breath upon seeing this.

When the crimson gusts of wind disappeared, the two crimson-robed figures flew back as two streaks for crimson light. The green Qi then dissipated, following which the massive ghostly shadow behind the white-haired beauty also vanished in a flash.
