A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1301: Just in the Nick of Time

Even though Wyrm 3 had managed to force back Bone Emperor using the surrounding restriction, a pained look had appeared on her face, clearly indicating that operating the array was proving to be quite a strenuous task for her.

Bone Emperor was furious to have been knocked back by a Great Encompassment Stage junior, and he paid no heed to the demise of his four subordinates as he thrust his fist forward.

The giant, white bone claw also clenched itself into a fist before racing through the air at an extraordinary speed, crashing into the dark red light barrier with unstoppable might.

Wyrm 3 immediately drew up on the power of the surrounding array to oppose the attack, but her reactions were far slower than Bone Emperor's, and she was only able to draw upon a part of the array's power.

The two bursts of light, one white and one red, clashed against one another before exploding violently, creating a massive storm of power that swept away everything in the surrounding area.

The storm was particularly lethal as it was interspersed with countless fragments of white and dark red light, every single one of which was like an incredibly sharp dagger that tore even more gashes into the already severely ravaged space.

A burst of golden light instantly erupted out of Han Li's body to encompass Shi Chuankong and the others, following which he sped away into the distance to evade the spreading storm.

Xue Li and the others also hurriedly fled the scene, but they were a little slower to react than Han Li.

Despite this, Xue Li was still able to get away just fine, relying on his tremendous cultivation base to rush to safety as a rapid streak of crimson light.

However, the dark-skinned man, the black-robed wraith, and Gui Wu were not so fortunate, and they were swept up by the almighty storm.

The dark-skinned man had already been severely wounded by the restriction around the island earlier, and a hint of panic surfaced in his eyes as he let loose a wild roar and transformed into a black skeleton that stood at several hundred feet in height with two heads and four arms.

However, there were many fractures all over the skeleton's body, most likely a result of the injuries that had been inflicted upon it earlier.

A layer of black flames emerged over the skeleton's body, and it was able to ward off the surrounding storm as it fled into the distance.

Meanwhile, the black-robed wraith's body rapidly elongated until it resembled a semi-transparent, black snake, and it also shot forth into the distance, traveling even faster than the black skeleton.

Some of the sharp fragments of white and dark red light passed straight through its body, but despite its wraith-like appearance, it did not remain unharmed, and its body was rapidly shrinking, while its aura was also quickly on the wane.

Right as it was about to fly out of the storm, a streak of gray light suddenly shot out from the side. It was none other than Gui Wu's soul fragment, and it vanished into the black snake's body in a flash.

A horrified human face appeared at the front end of the black snake, and it opened its mouth in a silent scream.

A layer of gray light rapidly spread over the surface of the black snake's body, while the human face on its front end also transformed into that of Gui Wu.

Immediately thereafter, the gray light over the black snake's body faded away, and it reverted back to its original appearance.

All of this had unfolded in the blink of an eye, and the black snake continued to flee, flying out of the storm in an instant.

Only after ensuring that it had reached a safe distance away from the storm did the black snake revert back into the form of the black-robed wraith.

Xue Li, the dark-skinned man, and the black-robed wraith reconvened, and Xue Li asked, "Where's Gui Wu?"

"I didn't see him. Maybe he perished in the storm," the dark-skinned man said in an expressionless manner, having also reverted back to his humanoid form.

Xue Li cast his gaze toward the gray palace to discover that the storm was still raging there, annihilating everything within it.

At this point, Han Li's group had also gotten to safety, and they turned to look back at the stone palace.

Even through the storm, they were able to see that the dark red light barrier around the stone palace had been whittled down significantly once again.

However, it remained intact by the skin of its teeth as it continued to stand resiliently against the giant, white bone fist.

Inside the light barrier, Wyrm 3's complexion had turned deathly pale, and blood was trickling down from the corner of her lips, clearly indicating that she had sustained severe internal injuries.

Even so, she was still doing everything in her power to stabilize the light barrier and the surrounding array.

A cold sneer appeared on Bone Emperor's face as he stabbed a finger forward, and one of the fingers of the giant bone fist exploded violently to form a wave of white light that swept toward the dark red light barrier.

The wave of white light was able to infiltrate the light barrier, but it was significantly weakened in the process.

Wyrm 3 hurriedly flew back in retreat with an alarmed expression upon seeing this, and at the same time, streaks of dark red light shot out of the surrounding light barrier to protect her.

However, the wave of white light was traveling far too quickly, and it caught up to her in the blink of an eye. It was weakened once again by the obstructive streaks of dark red light, but it was still able to sweep over her, and a string of gruesome cracks and pops instantly rang out from within her body, while blood came gushing out of her mouth.

All of her bones had been shattered, and her internal organs had also been severely damaged.

If it weren't for the fact that she had managed to ward off some of the law powers within the wave of white light with her own reincarnation law powers, her body would've already exploded on the spot.

She took a deep breath as she forcibly steadied herself, but right at this moment, another one of the bone fist's fingers exploded.

A second wave of white light surged into the dark red light barrier before sweeping toward her, and a look of despair surfaced in her eyes upon seeing this.

It was proving to be an immense struggle for her to simply remain standing, let alone defend herself. For some reason, in her moment of despair, she turned her gaze to Han Li with a complex mix of emotions in her eyes.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this.

Right at this moment, the two ghostly generals down below rose up into the air to shield her, and the one with the cow head yelled, "We'll hold him off, you go and alert the palace master!"

Immediately thereafter, he swung his iron staff through the air, unleashing a flurry of staff projections to form a staff mountain.

All of the staff projections were giving off bursts of crimson and blue light, which intertwined with one another to form a bouquet of red and blue flowers that raced toward the oncoming wave of white light.

At the same time, the horse-faced ghostly general lashed out with his crystalline chain and skin-peeling ghostly claw to conjure up a wall of chains, in front of which was a mountainous, white ghostly claw that was enveloped in a layer of white bone flames.

Both of the ghostly generals were at the Great Encompassment Stage, and their combined powers were nothing to be scoffed at, but the mountain of staff projections and the ghostly white claw were both instantly eradicated upon contact with the wave of white light, and the wall of chains was also breached without being able to offer any resistance.

The two ghostly generals had already anticipated that their attacks wouldn't be very effective, but they were still stunned to see just how ineffective they had proven to be.

However, as opposed to backing down, both of them chose to self-detonate in a final, self-sacrificial act to defy the oncoming wave of white light.

Unfortunately, the wave of white light was traveling so quickly that it swept over their bodies before they were able to self-detonate, and a string of gruesome sounds instantly rang out from within their bodies, following which they were reduced to piles of mincemeat.

The wave of white light continued onward without pause, reaching Wyrm 3 in the blink of an eye.

The two ghostly generals hadn't bought her much time at all, and she was still in no condition to be defending herself.

A defeated look appeared on her face as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

Right at this moment, a burst of golden light erupted onto the scene, encompassing the entirety of the gray palace.

The wave of white light was instantly slowed down to a crawl.

Far away in the distance, an enormous, golden spirit domain had taken shape around Han Li, and Weeping Soul and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Wyrm 3's eyes sprang open as an ecstatic look appeared on her face, and she flew arduously to the side to just barely evade the wave of white light.

"I knew you were up to no good, you little rat! If it isn't for the fact that your special physical constitution could help me ward off the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao, I would've already killed you on the spot!" Bone Emperor harrumphed coldly as he reached out in Han Li's direction, and another gargantuan, white bone claw appeared in the heavens above before making a grab for him.

All of the air, space, and the world's origin qi beneath the giant claw instantly became as hard as a rock, sealing everything within the area.

However, right before the emergence of the bone claw, a path of golden light had already appeared beneath Han Li's feet, and he had vanished from the spot before the bone claw had a chance to seal the space around him.

The path of golden light extended all the way to the dark red light barrier, where it was stopped in its tracks, and Han Li appeared upon it, seemingly out of thin air.

This path of golden light was the Ubiquitous Path ability of the True Mantra Sect, and it had been passed down to him by Patriarch Miro in the Yama Manor.

"Let me in, Wyrm 3!" Han Li called out in an urgent manner through voice transmission.

He had no confidence in his ability to oppose Bone Emperor on his own.

Wyrm 3 faltered slightly upon seeing this, then immediately snapped back to her senses before casting an incantation seal toward the dark red light barrier.

"You think you can just get away? Get back here!" Bone Emperor roared, and the bone fist that was pressed against the light barrier spread itself open at his behest, then came grabbing down upon Han Li.

A burst of incredibly formidable law powers erupted out of the bone claw before directly infiltrating Han Li's body, and he felt his own skeleton begin to rattle uncontrollably, as if it were about to tear its way out of his body.
