A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

"All of you, get back!" Dongfang Bai yelled, and the five black-robed elderly men immediately led all of the other Immortal Palace cultivators on a retreat.

Han Li paid no heed to the others as countless streaks of golden sword qi erupted out of his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords at his behest, causing the entire sky to tremble violently.

The green pythons stood no chance against this formidable barrage of sword qi, and they were quickly torn to shreds.

Dongfang Bai's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this, and he abruptly made a hand seal while letting loose a loud roar.

The shredded remains of the green pythons swelled rapidly before exploding violently, sending powerful shockwaves sweeping through the air in all directions, and all of the streaks of golden sword qi were also scattered as a result.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dongfang Bai turned and fled deeper into the Immortal Palace with a gust of fierce green wind swirling around his body.

Han Li was rather taken aback to see this, and he channeled his Reversal True Axis ability.

All of a sudden, he vanished from the spot, only to reappear in front of Dongfang Bai an instant later, displaying astonishing speed akin to instantaneous teleportation.

Before Dongfang Bai had a chance to do anything, countless golden ripples erupted out of the Mantra Treasured Axis in Han Li's body, sweeping over Dongfang Bai in the blink of an eye.

Fierce killing intent flashed through Han Li's eyes as he pointed a finger forward, and a streak of golden light shot out of his fingertip before punching a large hole straight through Dongfang Bai's lower abdomen.

However, a layer of white light that instantly emerged over Dongfang Bai's body, and it rapidly transformed into a white puppet.

The puppet appeared to have been crafted from some type of white beast bone, and it was riddled with talismans and white patterns.

This is a substitution puppet!

Han Li's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this.

He had read about this white puppet in a scripture from Daoist Xie's collection. It was said that this puppet had been created by a powerful master in the Heavenly Court, and one could inject their own immortal spiritual power and law powers into it to manifest an avatar that was completely identical to themselves, both in terms of appearance and aura.

Daoist Xie had always been interested in securing such a puppet for research purposes, but he was never able to succeed, and Han Li certainly wasn't expecting to see one here.

Right at this moment, countless specks of green light appeared in the surrounding area, forming a green spirit domain around Han Li.

Countless disembodied vines appeared within the spirit domain before wrapping themselves around him to rapidly devour his immortal spiritual power.

At the same time, an enormous golden mountain appeared above Han Li without any warning. The mountain was riddled with massive runes, and it seemed to be an immortal treasure, one that was crashing down upon him with unstoppable might.

At this moment, Dongfang Bai, the five black-robed elderly men, and all of the Immortal Palace Golden Immortals were seated atop the mountain with their legs crossed, collectively injecting their power into the mountain.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as the golden mountain crashed down onto the ground, sending violent tremors running through the ground in a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, while the entire Golden Origin Immortal Palace and the nearby mountains sank down by three feet in unison.

A pleased smile appeared on Dongfang Bai's face upon seeing this.

It had taken him countless years and an investment of an unfathomable amount of resources to refine this Xumi Golden Mountain using the Golden Origin Stones in the Golden Origin Mountain Range, and he was more aware of its power than anyone.

Unfortunately, the mountain was too heavy for him to use with his own immortal spiritual power alone, and he could only use it with the help of the arrays in the Golden Origin Immortal Palace. Otherwise, if he had been able to use it during his previous battle against Han Li, then he was certain that he would've emerged victorious.

All of the Immortal Palace cultivators heaved a collective sigh of relief, and they were also looking very excited.

After all, it was a very rare honor to be able to work together with their palace master to slay such a powerful enemy.

However, in the next instant, Dongfang Bai's smile abruptly stiffened.

At the same time, looks of shock and horror appeared on everyone's faces as they looked down in unison.

The golden mountain beneath them was beginning to tremble unsteadily as it gradually rose up from the ground, as if it were being lifted from below.

As it turned out, Han Li had once again adopted his devilish deity form with three heads and six arms, and he was only using two of his arms to lift the golden mountain, as if he were lifting nothing more than an ordinary rock.

"Impossible!" Dongfang Bai exclaimed.

Right at this moment, Han Li's Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree appeared before him, and it began to radiate dazzling golden light.

As soon as the plants in the surrounding spirit domain came into contact with this golden light, they were immediately reduced to bursts of energy that surged into the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree before being transmitted into Han Li's body, instantly replenishing the immortal spiritual power that had been sucked out of his body.

At the same time, the green spirit domain was rapidly shrinking.

"This is impossible! Nothing can devour my Wood God Spirit Domain!" Dongfang Bai exclaimed in shock and horror, and before he had a chance to do anything else, Han Li swung his remaining four fists upward with devastating power, sending them crashing into the underside of the golden mountain.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as the golden mountain was sent flying through the air, toppling close to twenty mountains before drawing to a halt.

Most of the cultivators on the mountain had already been knocked off in the process, and the few that managed to remain on the mountain were all stunned beyond words.

Cold sweat was running down Dongfang Bai's forehead as he hurriedly withdrew his spirit domain before fleeing deeper into the Immortal Palace as a streak of green light.

"Get back here!" Han Li roared as he set off in pursuit.

Right at this moment, a vast black cloud suddenly swept toward him from the side before blocking his path, and the five High Zenith Stage elderly men could be seen within it.

The five of them were wielding the same black flags from before, waving them frantically through the air to expand the black cloud further. Immediately thereafter, eight giant black dragon claws shot out of the black cloud before grabbing at Han Li in unison.

The eight dragon claws were giving off an almighty aura, and it seemed that they were capable of tearing holes into the very heavens.

Even though the five elderly men had banded together to oppose Han Li, they were far from glad to do so.

At this point, it had already become abundantly clear that Han Li was far too powerful for them to oppose, but as elders of the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, if they were to abandon their post, then that would be seen as a crime of treason against the Heavenly Court.

Hence, they could only hope to keep Han Li occupied for now and devise other strategies as the situation unfolded.

"Get out of my way!" Han Li harrumphed coldly as he swept a sleeve through the air, releasing all seventy-two Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, which clashed against the black dragon claws while giving off incredibly fearsome lightning law power fluctuations.

The flying swords easily sliced through the black dragon claws like hot knives through butter, and some small gashes immediately appeared on the black flags in the hands of the five elderly men.

The five of them hurriedly attempted to rush back in retreat upon seeing this, but the seventy-two flying swords were astonishingly fast, catching up to the retreating black cloud in the blink of an eye.

The five elderly men roared in unison as they summoned their protective immortal treasures, but the black cloud instantly dissipated upon contact with the golden lightning released by the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, while the protective treasures that they had summoned were also destroyed in an instant.

It was finally confirmed to them beyond a doubt that they stood no chance against Han Li, and they were just about to flee for their lives when a burst of sharp sword intent descended upon each of them, causing their immortal spiritual power circulation to stagnate and plunging them into the depths of despair.

Many of the surrounding Golden Immortals had already fled following Dongfang Bai's escape, and all that remained were the direct subordinates of the five elderly men.

They were just about to pounce at Han Li, but all of them stopped in their tracks with horrified expressions upon seeing this.

Immediately thereafter, someone fled for their life, and everyone immediately followed suit, much like a nest of rats fleeing a sinking ship.
