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

It abruptly brought two of its giant pincers together to clamp down onto the giant ball of runes, then hurled it toward Han Li with devastating might.

Han Li's two heads chuckled coldly in unison as he raised his dark green arm, and in the next instant, countless dark green runes surged out of his arm before forming a dark green sword projection.

The sword projection was only around three feet in length, and Han Li grabbed onto it before slashing it toward the golden ball of runes without any hesitation.

Due to the cultivation base and time constraints, Han Li was still unable to unleash the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword's true power, but this sword projection was still far more powerful than the average Divine Spirit Treasure.

The entire sky within a radius of several tens of kilometers immediately dimmed, and countless five-colored balls of light that were formed by the world's origin Qi appeared in the surrounding area before surging toward the sword projection in a frenzy.

The streak of sword Qi unleashed by the sword projection was initially only just over 100 feet in length, but with this influx of the world's origin Qi, it swelled to over 1,000 feet in length as arcs of golden lightning appeared over its surface.

In the instant the giant ball of runes came into contact with the massive streak of sword Qi, over 1,000 huge rune projections appeared over its surface, each of which was shimmering with golden light and rapidly rotating while flashing incessantly.

An earth-shattering boom rang out, and green and golden light exploded between Han Li and the golden crab, sending powerful shockwaves sweeping outward in all directions.

One half of the sky was colored green by the sword Qi, while the other half was glowing with golden radiance.

The clash between the two only lasted the span of several breaths before the golden rune projections on the golden half of the sky converged to form around a dozen mountainous golden rune projections, which crashed toward the green half of the sky with devastating force.

With each clash that took place, one of the giant rune projections would vanish, but these projections were imbued with the power of laws, and after eight clashes, the green half of the sky completely crumbled.

Han Li's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he withdrew the dark green sword projection in his hand before lashing out with all four of his arms at once.

Four pavilion-sized golden palm projections instantly appeared before thrusting them forward in unison, and the shattered fragments of the vast expanse of green light fused back together again to just barely keep the golden light at bay.

However, the green light was only able to hold itself together for a brief moment before the rest of the giant rune projections arrived, and the four golden palm projections were also instantly destroyed.

Thankfully, this split-second delay was enough for Han Li to transform into a four-winged giant bird that vanished on the spot as a thread of golden and silver light in the blink of an eye.

In the next instant, a vast expanse of golden light swept through the spot where Han Li had been standing before, then quickly continued onward into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, a vast expanse of space had been filled with scintillating golden light, but this only lasted for a short time before the giant golden crab opened its mouth to draw back all of the golden light, upon which the sky returned to normal.

Meanwhile, the golden-robed man was hovering in the air above the golden crab while quickly scanning his gaze through the surrounding area.





Chapter 2114: Reversal


All of a sudden, spatial fluctuations erupted in the distance, and a humanoid figure stumbled out of thin air; it was none other than Han Li, who had already undone his Holy Nirvana Physique.

At this moment, his face was completely devoid of color, and his azure robes were charred black and hanging off his body in tatters.

The dark green patterns on the arm in which the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword was sealed had completely vanished, but the faint green sword mark on his skin was still far more visible than it normally was.

On top of that, his aura was significantly diminished, clearly indicating that he had to expend a lot of energy to withstand that last attack.

A vicious look immediately returned to the golden-robed man's face, and he clenched his fists before abruptly vanishing on the spot.

As for the giant golden crab, it didn't immediately go back into hibernation after unleashing that second attack, but it merely hovered in mid-air in a completely still manner, displaying no intention to attack again.

Han Li had only just managed to steady himself, but he still managed to detect what the golden-robed man was doing, and he immediately transformed into a five-colored phoenix that was around 10 feet in length.

The phoenix flapped its wings, and five-colored light surged out of its body in a frenzy as it disappeared into thin air.

In the next instant, two massive black devilish hands emerged around the space where the phoenix had just been a moment ago, and the hands clapped together violently, causing the entire space within an area of around an acre to tremor and twist violently.

Immediately thereafter, a fiendcelestial-like figure that was over 300 feet tall appeared nearby amid a burst of surging black Qi.

It was none other than the golden-robed man, who had undergone devilfication.

Not only had his body swelled to several tens of times its original size, black scales had appeared all over his skin, and a single azure horn had appeared on his head; his appearance and aura were both very similar to when Han Li had unleashed his First Nirvana Transformation.

The golden-robed man seemed to be rather surprised that Han Li had managed to evade his attack, but he immediately harrumphed coldly as he said, "I didn't think that you'd still have enough power to flee into space. Even though you had to rely on this phoenix transformation, I still must commend you for this."

As soon as his voice trailed off, Han Li appeared amid a flash of five-colored light above the golden crab, then reverted back to his human form.

However, following that transformation, his aura had weakened slightly yet again. A peculiar look appeared in his eyes as he appraised the golden-robed man, then said in a calm voice, "From the sounds of it, you must be a powerful being who stands at the very pinnacle of the Elder Devil Realm. Among the devilish patriarchs, I've yet to encounter Liu Ji and Nie Pan. I've heard that Liu Ji is a woman, while Nie Pan is the only one who has attained full mastery of the Holy Nirvana Physique. As such, your identity is quite obvious. However, you're only slightly more powerful than a late-Body Integration Stage, so I assume you're only a clone."

"Hmph, I didn't think that someone aside from me would be able to cultivate the Holy Nirvana Physique to the Second Nirvana Transformation, especially at only the Body Integration Stage. However, you've already been severely wounded after withstanding two attacks from the sacred crab, so there's no way you'll be able to escape from me; surrender and I'll grant you a painless death," the golden-robed man harrumphed coldly.

Immediately thereafter, a vast expanse of black light erupted from his body, which began to expand again at an incredible rate. In the blink of an eye, he had grown to over 1,000 feet tall, and the devilish Qi erupting from his body was surging directly into the heavens.

Han Li's expression changed slightly as he made a grabbing motion, upon which a black bracelet appeared in his grasp; it was none other than the spirit beast bracelet that was filled with Gold Devouring Beetles!

Han Li's spiritual sense was currently still as powerful as ever, so he would be able to control his Gold Devouring Beetles and Purple-striped Gold Devouring Beetles.

On top of that, he still had the golden body, spirit body, and Leopard Kirin Beast up his sleeve, so he would still stand a good chance against this Sacred Ancestor Nie Pan clone even after he had unleashed his Holy Nirvana Physique.
