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

Bursts of powerful tearing force swept through the air on either side of Han Li, sweeping up gusts of ferocious wind that lashed against his cheeks.

Being subjected to such immense pressure was far from comfortable, and Han Li reflexively extended his elbows outward to either side, but he was only able to slightly dispel the pressure, while the two millstones continued to close in on him.

It seemed that Han Li was completely powerless to resist, and a pleased smile appeared on Tao Ji's face upon seeing this.

In contrast, Jin Chuan was looking on with an unconvinced expression, clearly under the opinion that this was massive overkill.

"Keep it up, everyone! Destroy this scoundrel's physical body, but make sure to leave his soul behind. I'm going to use it to light a sky lantern to comfort my son's soul in the heavens!" Tao Ji yelled.

The ninety Golden Immortals behind him immediately gave a collective affirmative response.

They were extremely fortunate to have been chosen to be part of this array, and this experience was going to have unfathomable benefits on their future cultivation, not to mention the reward of ten Immortal Origin Stones that each of them was going to receive. On top of that, their target appeared to be a complete pushover, and they could hardly think of a better job to be assigned.

With that in mind, all of them were pouring forth their immortal spiritual power without reservation to power the array.

The runes on the two millstones were glowing radiantly, and the pressure emanating from them was becoming stronger and stronger, causing Han Li's joints to creak and groan audibly, but he still appeared quite calm and composed.

This was a perfect opportunity for him to gauge just how powerful his own physical body had become after his time in the Scalptia Spatial Domain, so he was slowly acclimating himself to the pressure exerted upon him by the millstones without putting up any meaningful resistance.

Of course, he was still putting on an act to humor Tao Ji, feigning an agonized expression, as if he really were struggling to withstand the pressure.

Before long, the two millstones had drawn so close to each other that it seemed like they were in direct contact, and it was no longer possible to see Han Li between them.

"Looks like you were misled, Brother Tao. At this rate, he's going to be crushed in just a moment or two. You should prepare to capture his soul. Otherwise, if they go too far, his soul could be destroyed too," Jin Chuan said with a smile.

"I can't believe Yu'er was killed by such an incompetent scoundrel! He must've been too complacent and underestimated his opponent. It's my fault for being too lenient with him," Tao Ji sighed as he shook his head with a remorseful expression.

"I wouldn't put the blame on Yu'er. The only reason why this scoundrel is completely powerless to retaliate is because we set up this Bipolar Yin Yang Array in advance, so this is not a true reflection of his power," Jin Chuan consoled.

"No matter. Yu'er has finally been avenged no," Tao Ji sighed, and it was as if a heavy load had been lifted from his shoulders.

Right at this moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out from between the two millstones, and the two of them hurriedly peered into the array, upon which they were stunned to discover that a small gap had reappeared between the pair of millstones.

At the same time, Han Li's mocking voice rang out from within the array.

"Is that all you've got? I must say, I'm very disappointed."

Tao Ji and Jin Chuan's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and the former hurriedly yelled, "Crush him!"

All of the Golden Immortals immediately redoubled their efforts, pouring forth more immortal spiritual power into the Bipolar Yin Yang Array.

However, even though the two millstones were glowing brighter than ever and releasing even more formidable pressure, they were still slowly being forced apart bit by bit.

The feigned look of agony on Han Li's face had faded away, and it was replaced by a calm and composed expression.

A stunned look appeared on Tao Ji's face upon seeing this, and he hurriedly swept a sleeve through the air, releasing a golden flying sword that suspended itself in mid-air before him.

Etched onto the blade of the sword were nine flame symbols next to each other, and it was giving off bursts of scorching heat.

He slid a finger over the sword, and the first fire symbol lit up to release a layer of crimson fire, forming a serrated, fiery edge around the sword.

Tao Ji took a glance at Han Li, then slid his finger over the second flame symbol, which also lit up to release a layer of orange flames over its crimson counterpart.

With the emergence of this layer of flames, the surrounding temperature soared, and the nearby air began to shimmer and warp.

Tao Ji continued to glide his finger over the length of the sword, and the fire symbols on it lit up one after another, with each one producing a new layer of flames.

Each layer of fire was a different color from the rest, and before long, seven layers of flame had appeared over the flying sword, making it resemble a fiery, rainbow fan.

Waves of scorching heat were sweeping through the entire col, setting all of the surrounding vegetation alight, and even the Golden Immortals inside the array were struggling to withstand the heat, feeling as if their blood were boiling in their veins.

"He does seem to possess remarkable physical prowess, but surely you didn't need to use seven Radiant Flame Symbols at once!" Jin Chuan exclaimed with a surprised expression.

Tao Ji offered no response as he thrust both palms forward, and the fiery flying sword hurtled directly into the Bipolar Yin Yang Array as a streak of rainbow light.

Han Li was completely unfazed by the formidable fire law power fluctuations emanating from the sword. In fact, he was eager to use it to test out his own newfound physical prowess.

With that in mind, Han Li channeled the starpower within his own body, meeting the oncoming flying sword directly with his own chest.

A resounding boom rang out as the tip of the rainbow flying sword struck his chest, releasing bursts of scorching heat that instantly incinerated his robes, but the sword wasn't able to pierce even a millimeter into his body.

Blinding rainbow light erupted throughout the entire array to inundate Han Li, and bursts of rainbow flames erupted in all directions, causing the array to tremble violently.

All of the Golden Immortals outside the array began swaying unsteadily, and moments later, the flames faded away to reveal Han Li again.

The clothes in front of his chest had been burned away, but he was completely unscathed, and there wasn't even a single scorch mark on his body.

"Impossible!" Jin Chuan exclaimed with an astonished expression.

"His physical body is far more powerful than we imagined! Be on your guard, Brother Jin Chuan," Tao Ji warned with tightly furrowed brows as he summoned his flying sword back to yourself.

"If that's all you've got, then it's my turn!" Han Li declared with a cold smile, then immediately channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, and profound acupoints lit up all over his body as he plunged his fingers straight into the black and white millstones with ease.

Immediately thereafter, he channeled his Giant Mountain Ape bloodline, and his muscles bulged as tufts of golden fur appeared over his body, transforming into a giant golden ape that was around a hundred feet tall in the blink of an eye.

He then tugged violently on the pair of giant millstones, and they were instantly wrenched into his grasp, causing the entire array to tremble violently.

All of the Golden Immortals that were manning the array were immediately struck by backlash, shuddering violently while throwing up large mouthfuls of blood.

"Get back!" Tao Ji hurriedly yelled in a frantic voice, but it was already too late.

As Han Li seized control of the two millstones, a burst of tremendous, compressive force swept through the entire array, trapping all of the Golden Immortals inside.

Immediately thereafter, Han Li hurled both of the millstones at the Golden Immortals, who were unable to take any evasive measures, so they could only frantically summon their protective treasures with horrified looks on their faces as they struggled in futility to save themselves.

Two earth-shattering booms rang out as the pair of giant millstones came crashing down, easily overwhelming the resistance put up by the Golden Immortals, and not a single one of them was able to escape.

All of them had been crushed into mincemeat, and even their nascent souls had been eradicated.

"How dare you!" Jin Chuan roared in a furious voice as he sprang up into the sky before making a hand seal, and a blue spirit domain instantly appeared over the entire col.

"So one of you is cultivating the laws of fire, while the other is cultivating the laws of water. You two certainly complement each other well," Han Li remarked with a smile as dense clouds of steam suddenly began to rise up around him.

He quickly reverted back to his normal human form as he spoke, while Jin Chuan continued to make a string of hand seals, releasing a tremendous aura that caused his robes to flap audibly around him.
