A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1344: Inevitable

Inside a floating, golden palace somewhere in the Heavenly Court.

There were countless bursts of energy swirling around the palace, pulverizing everything in the surrounding area to give the entire space a rather ethereal appearance.

The golden palace was very vibrant in color, but it possessed no aura of opulence. Instead, it resembled an antiquated daoist temple.

The palace gates were tightly shut, and dull thumps were ringing out within it incessantly, while the entire palace occasionally trembled, further exacerbating the unrest in the nearby space.

Right at this moment, the commotion in the golden palace abruptly subsided, and its gates swung open as none other than Gu Huojin flew out from within.

Beyond the gates was a vast, golden space with no end in sight, and there also seemed to have been no ground, as if this were someplace in the heavens.

Hovering within the golden space were numerous orbs the size of houses, and they were flashing with lights of different colors as if they were stars in the sky.

The gates quickly swung shut, following which Gu Huojin swept a sleeve through the air to summon a yellow scroll, on each end of which was engraved an ornate, golden dragon.

The pair of miniature dragons sprang to life at his behest, biting onto the two ends of the scroll before unfurling it to reveal a list of names that were giving off lights of different colors and degrees of brightness.

Near the top of the list was a name that had turned completely gray, and it belonged to none other than Xuanyuan Jie.

"Someone has managed to slay Xuanyuan Jie," Gu Huojin remarked to himself as two beams of golden light shot out of his eyes toward Xuanyuan Jie's name on the scroll.

Countless bursts of yellow light instantly descended from the scroll while Xuanyuan Jie's name swelled to countless times its original size to form a spatial passageway.

In the blink of an eye, a vast area was presented to Gu Huojin, and it was the precise area of the Extraheavensphere that Han Li and Jin Tong were situated in.

"Oh? It seems like the Insect Ancestor has already returned, and there's someone else of interest with her as well," Gu Huojin remarked as his gaze fell upon Jin Tong and Han Li.

All of a sudden, Han Li's eyes sprang open as he scoured his gaze over his surroundings, following which he swept both sleeves through the air like lightning.

Ten golden sword projections instantly shot out of his left sleeve at an indescribable speed, looking as if they were capable of transcending time and space as they vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, a burst of golden light erupted out of his right sleeve to sweep up the nearby Jin Tong.

Right at this moment, the flow of time in the nearby space was cast into a state of complete disarray as a giant golden palm that was dozens of kilometers in size appeared before swooping down upon Han Li and Jin Tong.

A burst of time law powers erupted out of the golden palm, and everything beneath it instantly fell completely still.

Thankfully, Han Li's lightning teleportation allowed him and Jin Tong to flee before the time law powers from the giant palm had a chance to act upon them, and the two of them vanished amid a flash of golden lightning.

The giant, golden palm came crashing down with unmatched power, completely destroying all of the space, time, and matter down below.

Enormous waves of golden light swept through the air in all directions, pulverizing everything in a radius of millions of kilometers, but strangely enough, all of the destruction took place in complete silence.

A golden lightning sword appeared out of thin air above a desert in the primordial land somewhere near the Dragon Abyss Immortal Region.

Immediately thereafter, Han Li and Jin Tong appeared beneath the lightning sword amid a burst of spatial fluctuations.

That was the same palm strike that Master Miro met his demise to. Looks like Gu Huojin is onto me...

Even though Han Li had already anticipated that this day would come, he still couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

However, for some reason, this anxiety was also tinged with a hint of excitement.

"What was that just now?" Jin Tong asked in an alarmed manner.

"It was Gu Huojin. Looks like Xuanyuan Jie's death drew his attention," Han Li replied, and Jin Tong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Standing in front of the golden palace in the Heavenly Court, a surprised look appeared on Gu Huojin's face as he remarked, "That was incredibly fast, not much slower than Shi Kongyu's instantaneous teleportation, in fact."

However, the scene depicted on the yellow scroll then began to rapidly change, and before long, Han Li and Jin Tong's location were revealed once again.

Gu Huojin made a hand seal, then thrust a palm forward.

Meanwhile, Han Li inspected his surroundings momentarily before conjuring up another golden lightning array.

He had made an active effort to erase any residual aura of his and Jin Tong's during his teleportation just now, and he had also teleported the two of them over a vast distance, almost spanning an entire large immortal region, so even Gu Huojin's spiritual sense definitely wouldn't have been able to detect them.

Even so, he still wanted to teleport once more as a safety precaution.

Right at this moment, another giant, golden palm appeared overhead before descending from above, and it was crashing down even faster than the previous one.

A stunned look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this, and he hurriedly stowed his flying sword away before unleashing his lightning sword teleportation technique again, allowing him and Jin Tong to get away again just barely in the nick of time.

Immediately thereafter, the two of them appeared beneath another one of his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, this one over a mountain range in the Heavenly River Immortal Region, an immortal region near the Dragon Abyss Immortal Region.

From there, Han Li immediately teleported himself and Jin Tong away once again without pause, and at the same time, he swept a sleeve through the air to release around two dozen Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, all of which vanished into the nearby space.

Han Li and Jin Tong appeared amid a flash of lightning on the edge of the Heavenly River Immortal Region, only for him to immediately teleport them away again.

After around a dozen consecutive bouts of teleportation, the two of them crossed several immortal regions, only stopping upon reaching an immortal region that was filled with decayed earth and nauseating miasma.

Surely this should be far enough, he thought to himself, only for another giant, golden palm to come descending upon him once again, this one even faster than the previous two.

A grim look appeared on Han Li's face as he prepared to teleport away again, only for countless rays of golden light to suddenly appear around him, instantly severing his spiritual connection with all of his flying swords.

An alarmed look appeared on Han Li's face, but he remained composed as he made a rapid string of hand seals, and a wave of golden light surged out of his body, instantly forming a golden spirit domain that was dozens of kilometers in size.

His five time law treasures also appeared within the spirit domain before transforming into a miniature world, and he was only just barely able to do all of this before the golden palm fell upon him from above.

Countless golden ripples were surging out of the giant palm, causing everything in the surrounding area to fall completely still.

Han Li's spirit domain was the only thing that remained unaffected, as if it belonged to a different world.

The golden palm crashed down upon the spirit domain, and the latter trembled violently as it was slammed into the ground like an asteroid.

The entire continent below shattered violently as vast volumes of molten lava came gushing out from underground, and a series of huge cracks appeared over the spirit domain, but it remained stubbornly intact.

Han Li threw up an involuntary mouthful of blood as his spirit domain was crushed into the earth, while a surprised look flashed through Gu Huojin's eyes once again in the Heavenly Court, seemingly taken aback by the fact that his attack had been kept at bay.

With a sweep of his sleeve, a bell-shaped design appeared over the palm of the giant, golden hand, and it instantly swelled to around twice its original size as it closed itself tightly around Han Li's spirit domain, threatening to crush it to a pulp.

The cracks all over the spirit domain instantly began to widen, and Han Li hurriedly scrambled to fortify it.

A resounding boom rang out as a massive, golden heavenly gate appeared within the spirit domain.

During his battle again Feng Qingshui and Chen Ruyan, many innocent lives had been lost as a result of collateral damage, despite his best efforts at preventing such tragedies.

This time, Han Li didn't want to repeat the tragedy, so he refrained from opening heavenly gates connected to other realms and immortal regions to draw upon the time law powers within them.

This act of selfless kindness granted him a burst of invisible, karmic power, and in that instant, he was struck by a sense of enlightenment as the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra became clearer to him than ever before.

He quickly capitalized on this spark of inspiration as he made a hand seal, and five bursts of golden light emerged from the heavenly gate, corresponding with the five elements of the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra.

The heavenly gates slowly swung open, and a boundless expanse of golden light surged out from within before fusing with the spirit domain.

This time, the Heavenly Dao was granting even more of its power to Han Li than last time, and the cracks in his spirit domain were instantly stabilized.

Han Li was ecstatic to see this, and the five bursts of golden light shot out of his spirit domain at his behest, then came together to form the Immortal Golden Cloud, which rose up toward the golden palm outside.

At the same time, Jin Tong took on her Gold Devouring Immortal form as she opened her mouth to release countless streaks of translucent, golden light, which came together to form a huge pillar of light that struck the golden hand with tremendous power.

The golden palm was kept at bay by Han Li and Jin Tong's collective power, and as more and more golden light flowed in through the heavenly gate, the cracks in the spirit domain began to rapidly close.
