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

"Fellow Daoist Hai, please lend us your assistance!" one of the devilish men hurriedly implored.

"Rest assured, fellow daoists; I'll get rid of these mutated devilish ants right away!" the devilish woman replied before pointing a finger at the antiquated mirror up above.

The mirror rotated on the spot before turning its surface toward the giant devilish ants, as if it were about to unleash some type of attack.

Right at this moment, the devilish ants in another direction parted, and 500 to 600 additional azure ants rushed out from that opening.

The devilish woman's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and she immediately switched to a different hand seal, upon which the antiquated mirror transformed into a ball of azure light that swept up her body before flying away as a streak of spiritual light.

Not only was she abandoning the three trapped devilish men, she was even leaving her own two subordinates behind.

The two men from the Hai Family were also quite alarmed to see this, and they fled into the distance as streaks of light as well, leaving the three desperate devilish men behind to curse their treacherous companions.

Similar scenes were unfolding in many other places as well, and the emergence of these high-grade mutated devilish ants quickly spelled the downfall of many of the remaining devilish beings.

All of the high-grade devilish beings that had been able to survive thus far either had special abilities or treasures that they could use to protect themselves or had fantastic luck.

As for Han Li's group and the small handful of devilish-lord-level devilish beings and devilish beasts, they were able to carve out a path through the ant tide for themselves through their individual powers.

Even so, the Devouring Devilish Ants had no intention of allowing the remaining people to escape.

If even the slightest hint of complacency were to set in, the remaining survivors would immediately be swept up by the ant tide and be forced to fight for their lives again.

Thus, one day passed by after another, and only after half a year did the Devouring Devilish Ant Tide gradually begin to disperse.

Seven or eight of the cities on the outskirts of the grassland had been destroyed, and hundreds of millions of devilish beings had been devoured by the devilish ants.

This was a harrowing chapter in history for all devilish beings in the area, and the notorious reputation of Devouring Devilish Ants was bolstered even further.

A year later, a streak of azure light was flying over a black forest that was filled with massive trees.

Close to 10 kilometers behind the streak of azure light was a flock of crimson-fathered birds that were giving chase in hot pursuit.

The azure light paused momentarily, and several tens of streaks of sword Qi shot forth from within it, slicing the dozen or so crimson birds at the forefront in half.

Immediately thereafter, the streak of azure light continued onward, and the rest of the crimson birds let loose a few harsh squawks of fury, but didn't dare to pursue the streak of azure light any further.

Only after flying for close to 10,000 kilometers did the streak of azure light slow down slightly, and within the azure light, Han Li was appraising a head-sized crimson crystal with a smile as he murmured to himself, "This is quite a large chunk of Windflame Crystal; I'm sure it'll be of great use to me in the future."

During the past years, he had been constantly traveling, and only after entering the plains did he truly manage to shake off the Devouring Devilish Ant.

After that, he traveled directly toward the Illusion Howl Desert as was the plan that everyone had decided on.

These plains were an extremely perilous place for normal devilish beings, but Han Li naturally wasn't concerned, and along the way, he had discovered many materials and spirit medicines that were extremely rare in the Spirit Realm, which was naturally very pleasing for him.





Chapter 2047: The Four Holy Bricks


After picking up this huge piece of Windflame Crystal from deep within a valley, he was immediately discovered by that flock of crimson devilish birds, and he only managed to scare them away after being pursued for half a day.

Spiritual light flashed from Han Li's hand as he stowed the Windflame Crystal away and continued on his journey.

Half a day later, he arrived at the edge of the forest, and a boundless ocean appeared in the distance.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, but his expression then eased slightly upon arriving at the realization that this was most likely an inland sea as opposed to an actual sea, so there wouldn't be anywhere near as many sea soul beasts in it.

Azure light flashed, and Han Li flew directly onto the ocean, covering a distance of over 10,000 feet after just a few flashes.

All of a sudden, countless blue streaks of light erupted out of the water, hurtling directly toward Han Li.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he swept a sleeve downward, releasing a burst of grey light that transformed into countless thin azure grey threads, which punctured all of the oncoming streaks of blue light.

Thumb-sized blue fish began to rain down from the heavens. These fish had no scales, and their heads were remarkably long and were as sharp as blades, giving them a very peculiar appearance.

Han Li slew hundreds of these fish with just a single attack, but even more of them were shooting up out of the seawater.

Han Li raised an eyebrow as he released more grey threads out of his sleeves, killing all of the oncoming flying fish.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of these blue fish had been slain, and his brutality seemed to have struck fear into the hearts of this school of fish as no more streaks of blue light came leaping out at him.

Han Li calmly flicked his wrist, and the thin grey threads reverted back into a burst of light that returned up his sleeve.

At the same time, he sped up slightly as he traveled deeper into the sea, and several hours later, the devilish sun had set and day had transitioned into night.

Deep under the sea, a series of powerful auras began to emerge, and Han Li could occasionally see the limbs of some astonishingly massive sea beasts appearing on the surface of the ocean.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he decided that it wouldn't be wise to continue traveling through the night.

With his current powers, he didn't have to fear the powerful nocturnal sea beasts, but it was naturally best to avoid trouble as much as possible.

On top of that, he had already traveled for over 10 days without any proper rest, so this was a good opportunity to rest and recuperate.

With that in mind, he immediately released his spiritual sense to scan through an area with a radius of close to 1,000 kilometers.

Shortly thereafter, he suddenly changed directions, and a black spot soon appeared on the surface of the ocean in the distance.

Upon approaching the black spot, Han Li was able to identify it as an island that was several tens of kilometers in size. There were several mountains on the island that were over 10,000 feet tall, and the entire island was enshrouded within a layer of mist.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly swept his spiritual sense over the entire island, then immediately descended toward it.

Moments later, the azure light receded, and Han Li appeared halfway up one of the mountains, where the entrance to a huge cave laid.

Han Li glanced at the cave before sweeping a sleeve through the air, and a small azure sword shot forth into the cave in a flash.

Moments later, a rumbling beastly roar rang out from within the cave before abruptly falling silent after a sharp screech.

The cave was extremely long, and only after traveling for around 500 to 600 feet did Han Li arrive in a more spacious area. There was a type of unknown hay spread over the floor of the cave, atop which sat two halves of a pangolin-like devilish beast carcass.

Han Li flicked a spark toward the beastly carcass, and a flame was instantly ignited, incinerating the carcass and the hay into ashes.
