A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 2001-Chapter 2248)

In the next instant, a drop of green liquid flowed out of it before vanishing into the golden crab's giant pincer.

"Heavenly Fortune Elixir!" Han Li exclaimed as his pupils abruptly contracted.

"So you know of this elixir as well," the golden-robed man said in a slightly taken aback manner.

Right at this moment, the arcs of lightning coursing over the giant golden crab's body suddenly faded, and at the same time, countless shimmering golden runes instantly appeared over its body. It also opened its gigantic eyes, revealing them to be a shimmering golden color as well.

"You offered me something quite good this time, Nie Pan; I can lend you my assistance for the offering that you've made," the giant golden crab said in a rumbling voice, and it seemed to be extremely intelligent.

Han Li was stunned to see this, yet before he could properly assess the situation, the golden-robed man stabbed a finger at him, and said, "Kill this Spirit Realm brat!"

"Alright, but for the elixir that you offered me, I'll only attack twice regardless of whether I successfully kill him or not; would you still like to go through with this?" the golden crab asked as it settled its gaze on Han Li, who was immediately struck by a bone-chilling sensation.

"Haha, go right ahead! With your powers, two attacks are enough to kill even the average Grand Ascension Stage being!" the middle-aged chortled in response.

"Alright then." The golden crab raised one of its giant pincers, which transformed into a pair of gigantic golden scissors that was over 1,000 feet in length before sweeping toward Han Li.

Golden light flashed on either side of Han Li's body, and the golden scissors appeared without any warning before its blades were viciously closed.





Chapter 2113: Might of the Sacred Crab


Han Li knew that the golden crab would definitely be extremely powerful, but he didn't think that its attack would be so fast and fearsome.

The golden scissors had reached him without giving off any spatial fluctuations, so it would be impossible for him to evade.

With the fearsome power that the golden scissors had displayed, no defensive treasure would stand a chance against it.

In this dire situation, Han Li immediately let loose a loud cry as he raised the arm in which the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword was sealed, and dark green runes surged over his skin as his arm transformed into the sword before being slashed through the air, unleashing a huge green sword projection.

At the same time, Han Li flipped his other hand over, and his skin instantly turned a purplish-golden color.

He spread his fingers open, and a burst of five-colored glacial flames surged forth, forming a five-colored ice shield before him. Simultaneously, grey light erupted from his body as the Divine Essencefused Light also formed a light barrier around him.

After that, he quickly opened his mouth to expel a ball of silver flames that shot forth toward the oncoming attack.

A resounding boom rang out, followed by a loud crack.

The golden light on one side was able to break through the azure sword projection, but it was repelled by the arm that was covered in green spiritual symbols while the arm itself remained completely unscathed.

However, the golden light on the other side was able to slice through the five-colored ice shield and grey light barrier with ease. It was slowed down slightly by the silver fireball, but then reached Han Li in a flash and tore through the protective spiritual light around him as if it didn't even exist.

The two halves of Han Li's body plummeted down from the heavens, and the golden light swept forth to shred them into scraps of blood and flesh that rained down from above.

The golden-robed man immediately burst into raucous laughter.

"Haha, I had thought that you'd be able to put up a decent fight, but you're nothing special. To think that Bao Hua and Yuan Yan were forced to comply to you; they sure have become useless during my absence. "

Right at this moment, the golden crab said something that immediately cut off the golden-robed man's laughter.

"The first attack was unable to kill the target; now unleashing the second attack."

As soon as the voice trailed off, the giant golden crab raised two of its huge pincers upward in unison. Layers of golden runes then surged out of his body in a frenzy before forming a giant ball of runes that had a diameter of over 1,000 feet.

The mass of the ball was astonishing, and it was glowing with scintillating golden light.

All of a sudden, spatial fluctuations erupted over 1,000 feet away, and an azure-robed humanoid figure appeared.

It was none other than Han Li, and his face paled as he cast his gaze toward the golden ball of runes.

The golden-robed man faltered slightly upon seeing this before immediately realizing what had happened. "So you possess a treasure that was able to die in your stead. You're a lucky rascal, but this next attack will end your life anyway!"

Han Li completely disregarded the golden-robed man's gloating and continued to appraise the golden ball of runes with a dark expression.

Even though he had managed to withstand half of the first attack with his Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword, the other half of the attack was able to tear through his defenses with ease.

If he hadn't used his blood essence to activate that tribulation transcendence substitution puppet refined from the Weeping Spirit Blood Wood, he would've at least been severely wounded, if not killed on the spot by that attack. [1]

This golden ball of runes that the golden crab had conjured up was clearly more powerful than its first attack, so Han Li had no choice but to unleash his most powerful life-saving techniques.

He let loose a low roar as he made a hand seal, and his body expanded drastically in size. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a golden ape that was over 1,000 feet tall, and at the same time, his Provenance True Devil Projection appeared behind him amid a flash of golden light.

He then laid a hand onto the top of his own head, and a golden Nascent Soul that was around half a foot tall appeared.

The Nascent Soul wore a grim expression as it chanted an incantation, following which several true spirit projections emerged amid a burst of scintillating light.

All of the projections, including the Provenance True Devil Projection, rose up into the air before converging toward the Nascent Soul.

Brilliant golden light erupted amid a resounding boom, and the giant ape instantly began to shrink, transforming into a tall and broad humanoid figure that was around the same height as the average grown man.

The humanoid figure's entire body was of a shimmering golden color, and the entirety of its skin was covered in a layer of golden scales. There was a single azure horn on its head, and an inky-black demonic eye on its glabella.

It was still Han Li, but in this form, he gave off a very unsettling appearance, and there was bright bluish-golden light flashing incessantly within his eyes.

In the next instant, another golden head appeared on his shoulder amid a flash of golden light, and this was accompanied by a pair of shimmering golden arms that sprouted from beneath his ribs.

He had undergone the Second Nirvana Transformation to adopt an extremely fearsome-looking devil form.

"Holy Nirvana Physique!" the golden-robed man exclaimed with incredulity upon seeing this.

By the time he had arrived at the Bitter Spirit Island, Han Li had already entered the Spirit Cleansing Pond, so he had no idea that Han Li had also cultivated the Holy Nirvana Physique. On top of that, he was even capable of undergoing the Second Nirvana Transformation, and that was naturally quite astonishing to the Nie Pan clone.

However, the giant golden crab paid no heed to either of them and unleashed its attack.
