Mortal's Journey: Immortal World

Han Li unleashed the Great Five Elements Extinction Fist, slamming it fiercely onto the golden wall solidified in Xuanyuan Jie's palm, instantly erupting in a massive explosion.

A deafening "Boom!" echoed.

All the enormous fist shadows detonated first, transforming into waves of incredibly powerful force sweeping outwards in all directions.

The golden wall also trembled, cracking with countless massive fissures, yet it did not immediately shatter. Instead, a powerful force rebounded from it, surging towards Han Li.

Having just unleashed the Great Five Elements Extinction Fist, Han Li was unable to evade in time and was struck by this force, sending him flying backwards.

Behind the wall, Xuanyuan Jie was also suffering. Bathing in the temporal force waves unleashed by the divine fist, his body was almost completely frozen in place, unable to move for a long while.

Just then, an unforeseen event occurred.

The seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, having somehow circled around, had transformed into seventy-two exquisitely crafted jade children. They flitted through the void, requiring no one to control them.

The sword spirit children flew to their positions in the sword formation, each radiating golden light, transforming once more into massive flying swords, hundreds of zhang in length, suspended in the air.

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by a rolling thunder, a majestic heavenly gate, ten thousand zhang in height, materialized within the dark outer space.

Around the heavenly gate, countless golden clouds gathered and surged ceaselessly, presenting a myriad of phenomena.

Although the heavenly gate remained tightly shut, booming sounds echoed from within, and dense waves of lightning aura were irrepressibly leaking outwards.

"How is this possible... clearly cultivating temporal force, how can a mere sword formation contain such powerful lightning force?" Yin Wushuang, catching a glimpse of this scene during his battle with Shuang Bai, was utterly shocked.

Little did he know that Han Li's seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, like Han Li himself, had undergone countless trials. Each sword had absorbed the force of the Thunder-Kylin Eye, making them comparable to Third-Grade Immortal Treasures.

Common Great Luo cultivators might not even be able to obtain a single Third-Grade Immortal Treasure. Seventy-two of them were equivalent to seventy-two Great Luo cultivators joining hands, making the power unimaginable!

Han Li, separated from the sword formation, was still connected to it in spirit.

As soon as a thought arose in his mind, the ten-thousand-zhang golden gate emitted a deafening "Rumble!" and slowly swung open.

Within the heavenly gate, in a vast golden ocean, countless lightning waterfalls cascaded from the sky. Thousands upon thousands of multi-colored lightning dragons surged up and down, each carrying a lightning pearl in its mouth, all rushing towards the heavenly gate.

"Rumble..."

Deafening roars of thunder intertwined, and the void crushed by the heavenly gate's pressure trembled violently for a long time. Cracks in space began to appear around it, alarming to the eye.

"Try this move, how about it?" Han Li abruptly stood up from the ground, pulling his hands down heavily.

The power of the heavenly gate disappeared, and countless lightning dragons, freed from restraint, surged madly from the gate's sea of lightning, pouncing towards Xuanyuan Jie.

In an instant, the entire outer space was submerged in a shocking torrent of lightning.

"Protect the Insect Ancestor!" Qing Feng shouted loudly.

Yi Qiu and Shuang Bai flew back, ceasing their entanglement with Yin Wushuang and his companions, standing together in front of Jin Tong.

At this moment, the golden vortex around Jin Tong had disappeared. No more Gold Devouring Insects flew into it from the surrounding spatial cracks. Clearly, all the Gold Devouring Insects scattered throughout the vast Immortal Domain had returned to her body.

However, for some reason, her aura continued to swell, yet she was unable to break through that final barrier and restore the Dao Ancestor true form of the Force of Devouring.

Seeing this, Yin Wushuang and his companions dared not continue their entanglement, retreating away from the lightning torrent.

Those Heavenly Court cultivators who still had the strength to move fled in droves, while those who could not escape were quickly engulfed by the lightning tide.

"Sizzle..."

The sound of electrical currents surged and echoed constantly, and the entire void had become an ocean of lightning.

Thousands upon thousands of multi-colored lightning dragons roamed within, surging and ceaselessly rushing towards Xuanyuan Jie.

The lightning pearls carried in the mouths of these lightning dragons contained the purest essence of lightning in the heavens and earth, constantly approaching Xuanyuan Jie.

"If I don't kill you here today, you will surely become a scourge no less than the Lord of Reincarnation in the future." Xuanyuan Jie's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he shouted.

He brought his hands together in front of him, forming an ancient hand seal, and incantations arose from his mouth.

In an instant, from some unknown place within the outer space, a chant resembling an ancient Brahma sound floated in, echoing Xuanyuan Jie's voice. Gradually, it resounded like great bells and drums.

The space within a million miles suddenly solidified for a moment, and a burst of explosive sound instantly swept out, echoing throughout the outer space.

Han Li's expression changed, and golden light enveloped his body as he soared into the air.

The suspended continent beneath him exploded completely amidst the rumbling sounds, and all the rocks, earth, and wood turned to dust. Only the earth-type force contained within it condensed together, transforming into a yellow river of light.

Xuanyuan Jie unleashed a punch, and the entire yellow river of light was drawn by him towards the torrent of lightning.

A deafening "Boom!" echoed.

The deep, dark outer space was illuminated completely. Countless lightning dragons carried pearls into the river, exploding into enormous lightning vortices, swirling madly in all directions.

In the sky, vortices of purple, azure, gold, silver, and other colors of lightning churned the river containing the purest earth-type force upside down. Lightning whips, tens of thousands of zhang in length, lashed out in all directions, causing the surrounding void to be annihilated inch by inch.

The remaining Heavenly Court cultivators could no longer care about anything else, fleeing towards the spatial fissures leading to various Immortal Domains.

The residual force unleashed by this strike was too powerful. The void surrounding the area where Jin Tong was located was constantly shattering. Yi Qiu and his companions joined forces to hold up a spherical light barrier, barely withstanding this force, but it looked as if it would shatter at any moment.

Han Li formed a sword incantation with one hand, activating the sword formation's lightning escape technique. A golden lightning flashed on his body, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, reappearing next to an Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

He waved his hands towards the sky, and temporal force rippled around him. The Mantra Wheel, Time Purification Bottle, Illusionary Star Hourglass, Azure Essence Divine Tree, and Time Severing Torch flew out, each returning to its place.

On the firmament of the outer space, a golden full moon and a sky full of crimson stars instantly appeared. Below, mountains and rivers emerged, and forests of trees grew, as if they had instantly arrived in another world.

As the Five Elements Illusionary World enveloped the surrounding millions of miles, Yi Qiu and his companions immediately felt the pressure around them lessen. However, none of them dared to relax in the slightest, still strenuously supporting the light barrier, sheltering Jin Tong.

"Han Li, you have successfully enraged me. Today, I will let you see what the wrath of a true Dao Ancestor is like!" Xuanyuan Jie's voice came from the opposite side, rumbling like thunder, lingering endlessly.

"I will be watching with bated breath," Han Li said with a carefree smile.

Yi Qiu looked into the distance and even saw a trace of a smile on Han Li's face. At that moment, his respect for Han Li reached its peak.

In his opinion, daring to face a Dao Ancestor with the cultivation of a Great Luo cultivator was simply unbelievable. One had to know that the gap between each small realm of a Great Luo cultivator was like a chasm, and comparing a Great Luo cultivator to a Dao Ancestor was like comparing the light of a firefly to the brilliance of the moon.

Especially since the opponent was Xuanyuan Jie, the existence who had forced even the Insect Ancestor, who was also a Dao Ancestor, to transform into countless clones in order to escape with her life.

Now that so many years had passed, Xuanyuan Jie's strength had far exceeded his imagination.

"So there really are people in this world who can remain calm even when Mount Tai is collapsing before them, and even smile..." Although Yi Qiu believed in his heart that Han Li would face a narrow escape from death, he was still filled with emotion.

However, in reality, Han Li's palms were already covered in sweat.

The reason he was still able to act so calmly was to further enrage Xuanyuan Jie, because only by pushing him to that point would he have a chance to truly defeat him.

However, what Han Li hoped for even more was that Jin Tong could immediately advance to the Dao Ancestor position.

After lasting for a long time, the confrontation between the lightning torrent and the yellow river finally came to an end. However, the black hole vortices that appeared in the outer space could not disappear for a long time.

Xuanyuan Jie strode forward in the void, and each time he landed, a golden halo rippled beneath his feet, and a deafening roar echoed in the void.

Han Li's gaze narrowed as he looked at him, and his expression suddenly changed.

He noticed that there was not a trace of emotion in Xuanyuan Jie's eyes. His eyes were empty and boundless, and he could vaguely see two ancient and simple strange runes inside.

Outside his body, there were also layers of void fluctuations that were difficult to discern with the naked eye, rippling with each step he took, spreading into the depths of the void, until Han Li's eyesight could no longer see.

Han Li understood that the fluctuations contained the true meaning of earth that had been contained in the heavens and earth since ancient times.

At this moment, he seemed to be one with the earth, and his will was one with the Heavenly Dao.

Xuanyuan Jie suddenly stopped, and between the opening and closing of his lips, he uttered two words like great bells and drums:

"Earth... Extinction."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire outer space suddenly changed. An incredibly powerful suction force frantically gathered from all directions and poured into Xuanyuan Jie's body.

Xuanyuan Jie spread his arms, and a layer of golden light began to ripple all over his body. The aura emanating from his entire body no longer had a trace of human aura. He looked like an ancient divine being who had existed since the beginning of time.

"The time has finally come..." Han Li was not surprised but delighted, and he muttered to himself.
