A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 401-Chapter 600)

However, this astonishment only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The Bone Sage then calmly slapped the light orb, spouting out another jet of blue flame.

This time, the ice flames wavered several times and transformed into a triangular shield of ice. The blue mist emitted from the surface of the ice shield blocked the dense bolt of Devilbane Lightning, resulting in a deadlock for a short while.

Rather than panic, Han Li rejoiced at the sight.

Although the Devilbane Lightning was unable to restrain the Celestial Ice Flames’ glacial Qi, it was mutual for the flames as well. The victor of the conflict would be the side that contained the most power.

Having thought that, Han Li patted the storage pouch at his waist. A blood-red cloak appeared on his body. Although he hadn’t yet reached a state of desperation, he thought it was best to be prepared for any contingencies.

Afterwards, Han Li hurriedly clasped his hands together and his expression became increasingly grave.

With rolls of thunder, an orb of faint gold lightning appeared at the center of his hands. Tiny arcs of lightning continuously sparked from its surface.

The orb of lightning was only several inches thick, but Han Li didn’t stopped there. Emitting the hum of electric current, the orb gradually expanded, growing several inches in the blink of an eye.

The Bone Sage controlled the Celestial Ice Flame and planned to attack the two huge azure swords, but his face paled in complete disbelief when he saw Han Li.

He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Han Li was still able to produce such a large sphere of lightning. Just how many swords of Golden Lightning Bamboo did he have?

Apprehension surged through him!

The only reason he had turned hostile was because he believed he would be able to kill Han Li without much effort, given the profound might of his newly acquired Celestial Ice Flames.

Although he had had yet to refine the ice flames into Sacred Asura Flames, he was able to barely control it with the use of his Profound Soul Yin Flames along with his own Divine Devilbane Lightning.

The Bone Sage knew that the Devilbane Lightning was able to block the glacial Qi of the Celestial Ice Flames and that Han Li possessed the ability to use it. But he hadn’t expected that he would be unable to kill Han Li during this time.

The Bone Sage assessed that Han Li should’ve already spent a majority of his Divine Devilbane Lightning to ward off his earlier ambush during their capture of the Ninecurl Ginseng. As a result, Han Li should of been unable to block his Celestial Ice flames. After all, there wasn’t enough Gold Lightning Bamboo in the world to make that many magic treasures out of it.

But that was exactly why the Bone Sage felt such disbelief at the quantity of Gold Lightning Bamboo swords that Han Li possessed!

Divine Devilbane Lightning was something that was sparingly used as it took quite some time to recover. As Han Li shouldn’t have had much Devilbane Lightning in reserve, the Bone Sage took the opportunity to eliminate him!

Although he felt particularly full of loathing towards his traitorous disciple Zenith Yin, his ambitions soared after he acquired the Celestial Ice Flame. So long as he refined the Sacred Asura Flames, it was possible for him to become the hegemon of the Scattered Star Seas.

As Devilbane Lightning was the bane of Ghost Dao cultivators such as himself, Han Li, the possessor the Gold Lightning Bamboo swords, became his first target of elimination. And later, with the assistance of Man Huzi, the Bone Sage would be able to easily exterminate Zenith Yin.

The powerful streams of lightning that Han Li had released from his two swords had already been enough to surprise the Bone Sage. As for the appearance of the large sphere of golden lightning in Han Li’s hands, that had left him dumbfounded.

This was entirely beyond what he had predicted!

A mere early Core Formation cultivator actually possessed countless Gold Lightning Bamboo treasures in his body. The Bone Sage felt regret, but even stronger sensations of shock and disbelief.

Just how many magic treasures of Gold Lightning Bamboo did he actually have? These swirling, inexplicable doubts formed an immense, massive weight upon his heart.

As the Bone Sage gazed on in astonishment, the sphere of lightning in Han Li’s hands grew to the size of about a meter and now floated a meter above his head. A deafening current of electricity could be heard from it.

The Bone Sage regained his bearings but his face still remained pale. His previous quantity of Divine Devilbane Lightning was nothing in comparison to this.

The Bone Sage furiously gritted his teeth and said, “Good! Very good! Although I don’t know how you managed to acquire so many Gold Lightning Bamboo magic treasures, you were doomed to become the nemesis of all Ghost Dao cultivators the day they came into your possession. Today, I will have you witness the might of the Ghost Dao’s Sacred Asura Flames!”

It was already too already too late for him to withdraw, so he prepared to combine the three energies to create the legendary Sacred Asura Flames. He hoped the flame would be able to break through Han Li’s Divine Devilbane Lightning in a single strike and still the disturbance in his heart.

Of course, forcefully creating these sacred flames in such a short period of time was extremely dangerous. The possibility of a backlash could occur at any moment, but the Bone Sage currently had no choice.

While he had other methods for slowly whittling away at Han Li’s divine methods and the ability to use both his techniques and abilities to avoid it, he didn’t have the time to use them. That would either allow Han Li to escape or cause enough of a delay for the others to return.

As a result, he could only clench his teeth and revolve his hands around the orb of light. Streaks of all sorts of magic seals continuously flew into it.

At that moment, the light orb seemed alive. The blue flame at its center started to quickly rotate as the outer shell of Profound Soul Yin Flames and Black Devilbane Lightning revolved in the opposite direction.

A short moment later, the entire orb released a blinding radiance. In the following moment, countless gray embers of astonishingly cold flame wildly rushed towards Han Li with overwhelming speed.

After a moment of surprise, Han Li’s face grew stern. Although he hadn’t heard of this Sacred Asura Flame before, he knew it would be no less powerful than the Celestial Ice Flames.

With a grave expression, Han Li ceased pouring more lightning into the huge sphere and used his fingers to quickly form many incantation gestures as he began to mutter an incantation.

The golden ball of lightning began to stretch, transforming into a web of lightning around him.

Soon after, the embers of grey flame ruthlessly struck the gold lightning. In that instant, gold light and white flames intertwined, releasing both rolls of thunder and screeching whistles.





Chapter 493: The Bone Sage's Death


Han Li’s expression became unsightly.

The web of lightning around Han Li had stopped the grey flames for the time being, but it appeared as if there was nothing that the flames couldn’t burn. The lightning had already been set aflame, transforming the web of lightning into a cage of grey flame, trapping Han Li within. Now, he couldn’t even escape if he wanted to.

But what worried Han Li even more was that as the grey flames burned away at the net of golden lightning, he could slowly feel the lightning contained inside his body slowly withering away.

The decaying nature of the flames gave the Sacred Asure Flames an overwhelming advantage.
