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

In contrast with the near-unanimous chorus of boos Han Li had received during his first battle, the reception was clearly a little warmer this time.

Ofcourse, Han Li didn't really care about this, and he continued to stare at the stone door across from him on the other side of the arena.

As the stone door slowly swung open, he immediately heard a violent roar ringing out from within the dark tunnel.

Immediately thereafter, a huge ape that was over thirty feet tall emerged. Its body was completely covered in green scales, and its arms were almost thicker than its own torso.

Its entire body was riddled with scars left behind by fists, blades, and claws, clearly indicating that it had endured many past battles, so it was most likely going to be even more formidable than Han Li had anticipated.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as a solemn look appeared on his face.

While he was observing the Mountain Plowing Ape, it was slowly moving along the edge of the platform, seemingly observing him as well.

With neither of the two combatants making a move, the spectators immediately began hurling torrents of abuse to express their dissatisfaction.

Right at this moment, the Mountain Plowing Ape suddenly stopped in its tracks, then raised its massive arms up high before slamming them down onto the ground.

The entire platform shuddered violently as a burst of tremendous force surged through the ground, shattering one black stone slab after another.

Even though Han Li was already doing his best to remain steady, he still couldn't help but sway with the trembling ground.

After the dust settled, the Mountain Plowing Ape was already nowhere to be seen, and Han Li immediately looked up just as a huge shadow loomed overhead.

As it turned out, the Mountain Plowing Ape had appeared directly above him and was plummeting down from overhead.

Han Li immediately felt the air constrict around him, and the pressure exerted by the Mountain Plowing Ape struck him with a sense of asphyxiation.

Right at this moment, the two Wingform Ascension Arts profound acupoints on his leg lit up, and he glided over the ground, reappearing over a hundred feet away in the blink of an eye.

Immediately thereafter, the Mountain Plowing Ape crashed down onto the ground where he had been standing just a moment ago, smashing a huge crater into the platform.

Before Han Li had a chance to gather himself, the Mountain Plowing Ape sprang out of the crater at an incredible speed, swinging one of its enormous fists at Han Li's head with tremendous power.

Han Li took a step back, and all of the profound acupoints on his body lit up in unison as he retaliated with a punch of his own.

A loud thump rang out as the two fists clashed, and Han Li felt his entire skeleton shudder within his own body from the force of the collision, and a string of cracks and pops rang out incessantly from all of his joints.

The Mountain Plowing Ape seemed to be rather taken aback by the fact that Han Li had chosen to take such a direct approach, and it let loose a thunderous roar as it forced its fist down with even greater force.

As a result, Han Li was completely overwhelmed, and he was sent tumbling back through the air, rolling end over end over ten times before crashing into the wall on the edge of the platform.

His entire body was in excruciating pain from the devastating blow, and he was sorely regretting his decision to test out his own physical prowess against the Mountain Plowing Ape.

After sending Han Li flying, the Mountain Plowing Ape immediately charged forward in pursuit before swinging another punch at him, and Han Li hurriedly crouched down to just barely evade the attack.

He then stomped down onto the ground with both feet to launch himself up into the air, and a layer of white light emerged over his fist as he threw a punch into the Mountain Plowing Ape's left kneecap with all his might.

A dull thump rang out as the Mountain Plowing Ape's knee was knocked to the side, causing it to teeter unsteadily.

Han Li immediately pounced on this opportunity, throwing another punch straight into the Mountain Plowing Ape's forehead.

The Mountain Plowing Ape was thrown off balance by the consecutive blows, and it fell onto its back with a loud thud.

Han Li charged forward upon seeing this, then sprang up into the air before channeling both his Wingform Ascension Arts and his Great Universe Origin Arts as he stomped down upon the Mountain Plowing Ape's head.

The Mountain Plowing Ape didn't have time to raise its arms to defend itself, so it could only open its cavernous mouth to let loose a high-pitched shriek.

A burst of hazy white light appeared within its oral cavity, and within the white light was a sharp beast tooth that was aimed at Han Li's chest.

An alarmed look flashed through Han Li's eyes upon seeing this, and the profound acupoints on his legs abruptly brightened as he stomped down onto the air below, changing directions while in mid-air.

Even though Han Li was able to evade the beast tooth, he was still grazed by the white light around the tooth, which instantly tore through his True Extreme Film before inflicting a long gash in front of chest that was deep enough to expose bone.

Han Li gave an involuntary groan of pain, but he gritted his teeth and fought through the pain as he swung a fist down onto the Mountain Plowing Ape's glabella, slamming its head deep into the ground.

Even though he appeared to be in a dominant position, Han Li didn't let down his guard, and he continued to rain down one punch after another onto the Mountain Plowing Ape's head.

At this point, all of the spectators had erupted into thunderous cheers, and almost everyone was cheering Han Li on with frenetic vigor.

Inside the VIP booth, Chen Yang was watching the unfolding battle with a contemplative look on his face, and a hint of wariness flashed through his eyes.

Some time later, Han Li had already lost count of how many punches he had thrown. At this point, the Mountain Plowing Ape's head was completely embedded into the ground, while the skin and flesh on the back of his fists had peeled away to reveal the bones underneath.

After ceasing his relentless barrage, he looked down at the motionless Mountain Plowing Ape, then reached down with the middle and index fingers of his right hand before plunging them into the Mountain Plowing Ape's temple in a sharp and swift motion.

A dull thump rang out, but his fingers were unable to pierce through the ape's skull.

All of a sudden, Han Li's expression changed drastically as he sprang back in retreat.

Almost at the exact same moment, the Mountain Plowing Ape's giant arms swung at him from both sides without any warning. Thankfully, he had taken timely evasive measures. Otherwise, the consequences would've been dire.

The Mountain Plowing Ape pressed its elbows against the ground, then let loose a low roar as it forcibly pulled its own head out of the deep crater on the platform.

The spectators erupted into another chorus of raucous cheers upon seeing this, but as soon as they caught sight of the Mountain Plowing Ape's face, the cheers instantly turned into mocking laughter.

The Mountain Plowing Ape's nose had been completely bashed in by Han Li, creating a large hole. At the same time, one of its eye sockets had also been broken, and the fluids from its destroyed eyeball were mixing with its blood to create a gruesome sight.

In contrast with the spectators, Han Li didn't find the Mountain Plowing Ape's appearance comical at all.

Instead, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the Mountain Plowing Ape as he looked at the multitude of injuries on its body.

In this arena, he was no different from this Mountain Plowing Ape. Both of them were just instruments for the entertainment of others.

Even if he were to emerge victorious in this battle, who was to say that his luck wouldn't run out someday?

However, no matter how sorry he felt for the Mountain Plowing Ape, this was a matter of life and death, so he certainly wasn't going to hold back.

The Mountain Plowing Ape seemed to have been completely enraged by the injuries that it had sustained, and its only remaining eye had turned bright red.

It let loose a thunderous roar as it charged straight at Han Li, then sprang up into the air before swinging its fists down at him with all its might.

Through the gaps between the scales on the Mountain Plowing Ape's arms, Han Li could see specks of white light, indicating that it was injecting all of its power into its arms to try and kill Han Li in a single blow.

In response, Han Li channeled his Wingform Ascension Arts, and in the blink of an eye, he had moved to over a hundred feet away.

However, before he even had a chance to steady himself, the Mountain Plowing Ape's fists had already slammed into the ground, and the entire platform trembled violently as a string of loud explosions rang out in rapid succession.

Countless loose rocks were flung up into the air alongside an enormous cloud of dust, and Han Li had only just landed on the ground when he was sent flying back through the air along with a large stone slab.

By the time he landed on the ground again, the force from the Mountain Plowing Ape's fists were still surging through the platform, and as a result, he was thrown up into the air again, with the cycle repeating itself over and over again.

At this point, the entire platform had already been reduced to a jagged mess.
