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

With a loud declaration from the officiating elder, the final round of battles commenced.

Han Li and Sikong Jian were standing across from one another on the eighth platform, and neither of them immediately made a move.

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Chang. Your cultivation base has advanced significantly since we last met, so I must offer you my congratulations. I can tell that you haven't displayed your true power in the previous two rounds, isn't that right?" Sikong Jian asked with a smile.

"You're far too kind, Peak Master Sikong. I'm sure you haven't put your true power on display, either. Could it be that you intend to catch me off guard by going all-out from the beginning? In that case, I must regrettably inform you that such underhanded tactics aren't going to work," Han Li replied in an indifferent manner.

Sikong Jian's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"Let's see if you can back up that big mouth of yours in battle!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, several dozen flying swords flew out of his sleeve before hurtling toward Han Li with astonishing power.

Han Li stomped a foot down onto the ground, blowing a large crater into the platform underfoot as he instantly vanished from the spot.

Sikong Jian's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he hurriedly flipped a hand over to produce a small, green bell before tossing it up into the air.

The bell swelled drastically in size, and a vast expanse of green light cascaded down from it, forming a cylindrical, green light barrier that encompassed his entire body.

The surface of the giant bell was riddled with antiquated patterns and countless tiny, green runes, giving it the appearance of a very powerful defensive treasure.

The giant bell had only just appeared when a glowing, golden fist emerged behind Sikong Jian amid a burst of spatial fluctuations, then struck the green light barrier released by the bell.

A resounding boom rang out as the green light barrier was brutally shattered, and the giant bell itself also exploded countless pieces that erupted in all directions.

A stunned look appeared on Sikong Jian's face as he hurriedly flew back in retreat.

Han Li let loose a low roar as over nine hundred profound acupoints lit up over his body, and he thrust his other hand forward like lightning.

A giant palm projection the size of a house appeared above Sikong Jian before crashing down from above with tremendous power, causing the nearby space to collapse.

Sikong Jian was sent plummeting out of the sky like a meteorite, smashing a huge crater into the platform below.

Han Li was drawing on as much power as he could from the over nine hundred profound acupoints that had lit up over his body, and he swung both hands through the air, conjuring up two more enormous palm projections that came crashing down upon Sikong Jian.

The first of the palm projections clenched itself into a fist that came plummeting down like a meteorite.

This sequence of attacks from Han Li had come incredibly fast, bombarding Sikong Jian without pause, and he was hoping to end the battle while the Sikong Jian was still in a state of complacency.

Otherwise, given the limited power that he was able to put on display, he was not very optimistic about his chances of securing victory in a long and drawn-out battle.

Not only had Sikong Jian been caught off guard by this rapidfire assault from Han Li, many of the spectators had also been stunned into silence.

On the elevated platform, a look of surprise had appeared on Daoist Master Chun Jun's face, while Chi Meng had also raised an eyebrow.

Immortal Lord Heavenly Star was naturally very pleased to see the Prominent Mountain Sect representative seizing the upper hand, while Huo Yuan was looking rather concerned.

Inside the crater on the platform, Sikong Jian was gritting his teeth tightly in fury and frustration. Having just been struck by Han Li's palm projection, there was immense starpower currently wreaking havoc within his body, rendering him unable to muster up any immortal spiritual power.

With a low roar, a layer of azure runes appeared over his skin, releasing an azure light barrier above him.

The descending fist and palm projections struck the azure light barrier with an earth-shattering boom, sending tremendous shockwaves erupting in all directions.

All of the nearby platforms had begun trembling violently, and the officiating cultivators of the Nine Origins Temple hurriedly intervened to stabilize the platforms and the restrictions around them.

The azure light barrier caved in significantly while flashing in an unsteady fashion, but it was able to keep Han Li's attacks at bay for a full second before finally shattering.

Sikong Jian had already managed to catch his breath during this brief window of respite, and he immediately released his spirit domain to encompass the entire platform.

Countless rays of green light were flashing within his spirit domain as a lush forest of tall trees emerged from the platform.

The branches at the tops of the trees were flashing with green light that was giving off a burst of peculiar wood law power fluctuations, and those branches were able to pierce through Han Li's fist and palm projections with ease.

The pair of projections then rapidly dimmed before fading away, as if the energy within them had been devoured.

Han Li's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this as he stopped cold in his tracks.

This was a very strange spirit domain, so he couldn't afford to be reckless.

"His wood law powers are quite remarkable," Daoist Master Chun Jun remarked with an intrigued expression.

"Chang Qi was able to catch Sikong Jian off guard with that unexpected barrage, but ultimately, Profound Immortals are simply inferior. Now that Sikong Jian has had a chance to recover, this battle is as good as over," Huo Yuan said with a pleased expression.

"The battles still not over yet," Immortal Lord Heavenly Star harrumphed in a disgruntled manner.

"Fine, then let's wait and see," Huo Yuan chuckled.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xianyang was looking on with his fists clenched tightly in nervous tension.

"I hope you had a good time using me as your punching bag because it's my turn now!"

Sikong Jian flew out of the crater with a look of cold fury on his face, and he swept a sleeve through the air, upon which the world's origin qi near the platform rippled violently before converging toward his green spirit domain in a frenzy.

All of the trees in the spirit domain began to sway from side to side like countless giant, green pythons, and they pounced at Han Li from all directions.

Han Li was in the process of examining the spirit domain for a way to counteract it, but Sikong Jian clearly wasn't going to give him the time to do as he pleased.

Han Li swiveled around the spot while lashing out with both fists, sending countless golden fist projections erupting in all directions, sweeping toward the surrounding giant trees.

The trees were able to absorb spiritual power, but they weren't very resilient, and they were easily destroyed by the fist projections.

Furthermore, having gleaned the properties of these trees, Han Li had refrained from injecting starpower into his fist projections. As a result, the trees weren't able to absorb any starpower from his attacks, thereby making them easier to break.

A cold sneer appeared on Sikong Jian's face as he more and more trees continued to sprout from his spirit domain at his behest, and at the same time, the dozens of azure flying swords that he had summoned earlier began circling around above his head before transforming into a series of azure threads.

The azure threads then shot forth through the as countless streaks of azure light, all of which rained down upon Han Li in a torrential barrage.

These streaks of azure light were incredibly sharp, and due to the absence of starpower, Han Li's fist projections were limited in power.

Hence, the streaks of azure light were able to pierce through them with ease before reaching Han Li in the blink of an eye.

Han Li remained unflustered as he took a deep breath, and his belly swelled to several times its original size, resembling that of a pregnant woman.

Dozens of profound acupoints lit up over his throat, and he let loose a thunderous roar, releasing a flurry of explosive soundwaves that formed countless blades of sound.

All of the oncoming streaks of azure light were destroyed by the formidable soundwaves, and many of the trees in the spirit domain had also exploded violently.

The restrictions near the platform flashed erratically, while the platform underfoot was on the verge of completely falling apart, despite the nearby officiating cultivators' best efforts to hold everything together.

Han Li had just unleashed the Purgatory Roar ability in the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, and it was countless times more powerful than the Vajra Roar that he was capable of unleashing in his Giant Mountain Ape form.

It was an ability that he had only recently mastered, and he hadn't anticipated that he would need to use it so soon.

However, he had intentionally made many alterations while unleashing the ability in order to avoid blowing his own cover.

On the elevated platform, Daoist Master Chun Jun raised a hand, and a streak of golden light shot out of his sleeve before fusing into the restrictions near the platform.

The restrictions instantly turned golden in color, as did the platform, and both were instantly bolstered significantly.

On the platform, a stunned look appeared on Sikong Jian's face at the sight of the power of Han Li's soundwave attacks, but in the next instant, he immediately composed himself as a vast expanse of green mist burst of out of his back before fusing into the trees in the spirit domain.

A metallic gleam instantly surfaced over the trees, and they became far more resilient than before. As a result, they were able to turn the tables and overcome Han Li's fist projections before converging toward him.
