A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 690: Perilous Battle

Right as Gongshu Tian was hesitating about how to proceed, countless golden runes suddenly appeared nearby amid a burst of spatial fluctuations.

Gongshu Tian's entire body was enveloped by these golden runes, and he was slowed down even further as a result.

At the same time, the river of golden starlight brightened significantly, as if it were resonating with the time spirit domain, and its rate of expansion abruptly sped up by severalfold, swallowing up Gongshu Tian in the blink of an eye.

Gongshu Tian immediately felt as if he had been plunged into a pit of quicksand, and bursts of tremendous pressure were constricting toward him from all directions, dragging him deeper into the starlight.

He immediately sprang into action, releasing countless streaks of crimson sword qi out of his giant fiery sword to eradicate the surrounding golden starlight.

At the same time, he swept his other sleeve through the air, and the five-colored spirit ruler shot forth and swelled drastically in size before falling into the grasp of his fiery domain spirit.

The five-colored flames emanating from the spirit ruler suddenly came together to form a pure white flame, and the domain spirit raised its hand, upon which balls of white flames shot out of the spirit ruler toward the surrounding golden starlight.

All of the nearby starlight was instantly incinerated upon contact with these white flames, and with the two of them joining forces, they were instantly able to clear out a large area.

Gongshu Tian immediately slashed his fiery sword through the air, releasing streaks of sword qi that enveloped both himself and the fiery domain spirit to form a rhomboid streak of swordlight that sped away from the river of starlight.

Not only was the streak of rhomboid swordlight extremely fast, it was also peerlessly sharp, and it tore through the river of starlight with ease.

However, right as it was on the verge of escaping the river of starlight altogether, numerous threads of golden light shot out from within. They were Han Li's time law threads, and there were as many as twenty to thirty of them.

These time law threads intertwined with one another to form a large golden net that stood in the rhomboid swordlight's path, and the golden net collapsed inward to a massive degree, but it remained intact and was able to stop the swordlight in its tracks.

At the same time, Han Li appeared behind the streak of rhomboid swordlight without any warning, and the thirty-six profound acupoints on his chest and abdomen lit up once again as he threw a punch to strike the swordlight.

The rhomboid swordlight was instantly shattered with a resounding boom, and Gongshu Tian and his fiery domain spirit were sent flying as a stunned look appeared on his face.

Han Li immediately flew after Gongshu Tian in pursuit, and a layer of golden ape fur emerged over his body as he swelled rapidly in size, transforming into a giant golden ape before slamming both fists down with tremendous power.

Two giant golden fist projections erupted out of his hand before hurtling toward Gongshu Tian, who raised a hand to conjure up a string of fiery shields that were around a foot in size in front of himself.

The two golden fist projections blasted straight through the shields in their path, but there seemed to be no end to these shields, and they were able to keep the fist projections at bay.

However, before Gongshu Tian had a chance to catch his breath, several translucent chains shot out of Han Li's glabella, then appeared behind Gongshu Tian's head in a flash before attempting to burrow their way in.

Simultaneously, a burst of azure light flashed behind Gongshu Tian, and the nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords reappeared before forming another azure sword lotus flower that revolved rapidly to send countless streaks of formidable azure sword qi raining down upon Gongshu Tian.

The golden net also flew through the air, but instead of flying toward Gongshu Tian, it appeared in front of the fiery domain spirit, separating it from Gongshu Tian.

In this instant, Han Li was going all-out in an attempt to kill Gongshu Tian.

As for whether Su Liu would detect the Spiritual Sense Cage that he had unleashed, that was something that he would just have to worry about later.

Gongshu Tian could sense Han Li's determination and killing intent, but he merely sneered as he opened his mouth to release a ball of blood essence into the giant sword in his hand.

"You're not going to get me that easily!"

The sword instantly took on a crimson color, and it began to give off an extremely formidable aura.

As the sword was slashed through the air, thousands of streaks of crimson sword qi appeared around Gongshu Tian, eradicating the pair of golden fist projections before also keeping the azure sword lotus flower at bay.

As for the spiritual sense chains, as soon as they came into contact with Gongshu Tian's head, a ball of white light suddenly emerged from his head to form a white light barrier that stopped the chains in their tracks.

Han Li's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and before he had a chance to do anything else, Gongshu Tian lashed out with his sword as he roared, "It's my turn now!"

An incredibly long crescent-shaped crimson sword projection was unleashed at Han Li, and it was so fast that it reached him in the blink of an eye, as if by virtue of instantaneous teleportation.

A burst of glacial sword intent erupted out of the sword projection, making Han Li feel as if all of his blood were about to freeze solid in his veins.

His entire body instantly stiffened, and even though he was able to instantly recover, it was already too late for him to take evasive measures, so he could only raise an arm to shield himself from the sword projection.

The sword projection struck Han Li's fist before rapidly spreading upward along his arm, and right at this moment, Han Li let loose a loud roar, upon which a series of true spirit projections emerged behind him before fusing into his body.

His giant ape body instantly swelled drastically in size before transforming into a purplish-golden devilish deity with three heads and six arms. Countless silver spirit patterns also appeared over his body alongside a layer of purplish-golden scales.

The crescent-shaped sword projection was still advancing onward, but it had already slowed down significantly.

The two heads on the shoulders of the devilish deity opened their mouths in unison, and each of them released a burst of purplish-golden light to strike the crescent-shaped sword projection, destroying it upon contact.

A hint of surprise flashed through Gongshu Tian's eyes upon seeing this, and he immediately began to fly back in retreat.

A cold look appeared in the devilish deities as it raised all of its arms aside from the wounded one, then swung its fists through the air to release five balls of golden light that appeared near Gongshu Tian in a flash, then fused as one to form a radiant golden vortex.

A burst of tremendous suction erupted out of the golden vortex before encompassing Gongshu Tian's entire body, instantly immobilizing him.

Gongshu Tian immediately let loose a thunderous roar as the flames all over its body reared up, while his fiery spirit domain shrank down to only several hundred feet in size in the blink of an eye.

However, the flames within his fiery spirit domain became far more formidable as a result, turning into a golden color while giving off an unprecedentedly scorching aura.

The golden vortex around him was instantly destroyed by these golden flames, unable to withstand their immeasurable heat.

However, right at this moment, the purplish-golden devilish deity appeared behind him in a flash, following which a massive golden axis emerged behind the devilish deity.

A vast expanse of golden ripples erupted out of the axis, instantly encompassing the entire surrounding area within a radius of a thousand feet, enveloping both Gongshu Tian and his fiery spirit domain within it.

Gongshu Tian instantly fell completely still, as did the golden flames in his fiery spirit domain, and it was as if both of them had been frozen solid.

The Mantra Treasured Axis was able to immobilize everything within its scope of influence, but GonGongshu Tian's fiery spirit domain was so formidable that the golden ripples were trembling violently while gradually dissipating, as if they were also unable to withstand the heat.

Han Li immediately sprang into action without any hesitation, and his nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords shot forth once again before slashing through Gongshu Tian's body.

In the blink of an eye, Gongshu Tian's body was sliced into dozens of pieces, and his nascent soul was also destroyed.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, at the end of this sequence, Han Li's complexion had turned deathly pale, but he still mustered up the strength to withdraw his Mantra Treasured Axis.

With the Mantra Treasured Axis gone, Gongshu Tian's fiery spirit domain instantly dissipated, while the fiery domain spirit in the distance also exploded before fading away.

At the same time, the fiery cage that Han Li's other nine Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were trapped in also reverted back into ten fiery flags, while the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords inside fell onto the ground.

Han Li paid no heed to all of this as he reverted back to his human form while focusing on sensing what was happening outside.

At the moment, the Mantra Treasured Axis was his biggest trump card, and given the complex circumstances in the True Mantra Sect ruins, he definitely didn't want to have his trump card exposed to everyone.

The sea of golden stars was able to cut off the sensory ability of spirit domains, and that was why he had gone out of his way to drag Gongshu Tian in here.

Everyone outside was still locked in battles of their own, and it appeared that none of them had detected the aura of his Mantra Treasured Axis.

This came as quite a relief to Han Li, and he stowed his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords away, then swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of azure light, which picked up Gongshu Tian's immortal treasures, then swept over his body as well before returning to Han Li.

The burst of azure light returned with the ten fiery flags, the giant crimson sword, a red storage bracelet, and a white talisman.

At this moment, Han Li's attention was focused solely on the white talisman.

It was something that he had found from the top of Gongshu Tian's head, and there were several squiggly spirit patterns engraved onto it, giving off a peculiar aura fluctuation that resembled spiritual power, but was also somewhat different.

He examined all of the items briefly before stowing them away as now wasn't the time to be studying them in depth.

Han Li then flipped a hand over to produce a green talisman that he adhered to his own arm, and radiant green light seeped into the arm from the talisman, quickly healing the wound there until there was only an imperceptible red mark left.

A pleased look appeared on his face upon seeing this, and he withdrew the sea of golden starlight to reveal himself.

The pieces of Gongshu Tian's body instantly fell to the ground, and Su Liu and Chi Rong were very alarmed to see this, while Fox 3 and the others were ecstatic.
