A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Yin Yang Devil Corpse

After the light faded, a beautiful white-robed woman appeared in the silver light. It was the woman with the surname Bai that Han Li had seen before. She appeared in mid-air and looked around expressionlessly. When she saw Han Li, Feng Bing, and the others, her eyebrows moved slightly.

The woman’s sudden appearance caused Tian Zhong’s streak of light to come to a halt, and he reappeared with an indecisive expression.

When Feng Bing saw that this woman had also broken out of the barrier, she couldn’t help but cheer up.

“Fellow Daoist Bai, you came out just in time. This person is the fourth Divine Sage of Moulan. Let’s quickly hold her back so that Fellow Daoist Han can save the others first.”

“Fourth Divine Sage? In that case, you were also involved in this trap?” The woman surnamed Bai glanced at Tian Zhong with a cold gaze and spoke with a hint of killing intent.

Tian Zhong didn’t answer the woman’s question. Instead, he muttered to himself with a gloomy expression, “I didn’t expect that other than that brat, there’s actually someone else who can break through the Blood Sifting Barrier. I knew that the Yin Sifting Sect was somewhat unreliable.”

“You’re courting death!” Grand Immortal Bai’s complexion turned ashen when she saw that Han Li had no intention of answering her question. With a furious shout, she rubbed her hands together and raised them. A vast glacial air mixed with countless snowflakes swept towards her enemy with an astonishing momentum.

When Feng Bing saw this, she pointed at the Fire Spirit Bottle in the air, and surging flames attacked Tian Zhong from the other side.

Han Li did not hesitate and flapped his wings. After a few thunderclaps, he instantly shook off the azure shadow in front of him and flew towards the blood barrier on the other side.

Although he had certain confidence in eliminating the azure shadow after using the Spirit Subjugation Talisman, it was more important to quickly save the other cultivators and turn the tables.

Seeing that the next blood barrier was right in front of him, Han Li flipped his hand and another lightning bead appeared in his hand.

“Master, be careful!”

Just as Han Li took a deep breath and was about to take out the lightning bead in his hand, he suddenly heard Silvermoon’s warning.

Han Li’s heart trembled, but he immediately threw out the lightning bead in his hand without a second thought. It turned into a ball of azure light and fiercely smashed into the barrier below.

However, at this moment, a head-sized green fireball shot out from an unknown place. As Han Li’s expression changed drastically, it struck the lightning bead like a shooting star.

With a puff, the lightning bead was silently swallowed by the fireball. Afterwards, the fireball revolved and turned into a foot-long azure fire bird that floated in the air.

Han Li’s expression turned stern as he made a hand seal, and the lightning bead exploded within the fire bird’s body.

However, the bird’s body only swayed violently for a moment before it acted as if nothing had happened. Its body even swelled a little as a result, and it stared intently at Han Li.

When Han Li saw this, he cursed in his heart and looked up.

A series of azure fireballs flew out from the direction of the Moulan Holy Bird and landed near the blood barriers. In the blink of an eye, they also transformed into azure fire birds, surrounding the blood barriers and protecting them.

This time, Han Li understood that this bird was actually sprayed by the holy bird that had a deep relationship with the lantern flames. It was no wonder that the lightning bead was nourished by the other party.

After all, the main ingredients of the lightning beads were refined using lantern flames.

Not far away from the Moulan Holy Bird, the woman named Le was coldly looking at Han Li. Their eyes met.

It turned out that this woman had manipulated the demon bird. Han Li immediately understood what was going on and was naturally furious.

However, when his gaze fell on the nine ancient lanterns floating in front of the woman, Han Li could not help but narrow his eyes. He looked at the azure flames that were slowly burning, but he calmed down and revealed a thoughtful expression.

As for those green fire birds, they had no intention of attacking Han Li. They only circled and danced around the blood barriers.

At this moment, a white light flashed and Silvermoon’s figure appeared beside Han Li.

Silvermoon apologized, “Please forgive me, Master. I was useless! I couldn’t help in the battle just now. Those two Heavenly Tigers were too sensitive. They would’ve discovered me if I had approached them. I was unable to use any illusion or bewitchment techniques.”

“Forget it. You’ve done your best.” Han Li shook his head and said with a calm expression.

“However, there are two lightning beads here. Take them first and see if you can sneak into the vicinity of the other blood barriers and save them! The more, the better.” Han Li threw two lightning beads to Silvermoon.

“This servant will definitely do her best.” Silvermoon extended her slender hand to receive the lightning beads and solemnly said. Her graceful figure disappeared in the white light.

Han Li looked behind him again.

Crimson flames and white glacial wind intertwined in Tian Zhong’s direction, and rainbow light flashed from time to time. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.

As for the azure shadow, it had disappeared without a trace. Han Li didn’t know whether it was because he was facing the combined attack of two mid-stage cultivators and it was difficult to resist, or because the holy bird had personally taken action and Tian Zhong felt greatly relieved before withdrawing his avatar.

Han Li turned his head and looked down at the dozen or so azure fire birds. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his body glowed with azure-red spiritual light, enveloping himself. At the same time, he raised his hand and summoned the blue light shield. Then, he formed an incantation gesture and the shield enlarged, standing in front of him. He flipped his other hand, and another lightning bead appeared in his hand.

A thunderclap erupted from behind him, and Han Li’s figure blurred, appearing over 100 feet above the barrier in a flash of lightning. Before he could throw out the lightning bead in his hand, the fire birds around him shot forth like arrows.

The green flames instantly enveloped the sky above the blood barrier, and Han Li’s figure was instantly submerged within.

At this moment, Long Han had also shifted his gaze away from Han Li. He originally hoped that Han Li and the others would be able to rescue the trapped cultivators as soon as possible so that they could turn the tables. However, when he saw that the so-called Holy Bird had spouted so many fireballs towards Han Li and transformed them into fire birds.

His heart sank. He knew that his chances were slim.

He turned his gaze toward the spell warriors and saw that although the Sublime Truth Seven Cultivators were relying on their seven treasures to withstand the demonic azure flames of the bird, they were clearly on the verge of collapse.

Even though it was only a late-Nascent Soul creature, it was clear that the seven of them wouldn’t be able to hold off this Deity Transformation Stage peacock for long.

“Release the Yin Yang Devils. Tell them not to be in a hurry to kill anyone. Let’s destroy those ancient lanterns first.” Long Han played his final trump card in a low voice.

“Yes!” A Harmonious Bond Sect disciple who had been on standby behind Long Han immediately accepted the order.

A commotion broke out among the crowd as a black and a white coffin were carried out.

The 16 male disciples and 16 female disciples of the Harmonious Bond Sect walked out in a line and sat cross-legged around the two coffins. At the same time, they formed hand seals and chanted incantations, casting various spell seals as they began the final steps of unsealing.

As the incantations were chanted, the talismans on the black and white coffins began to tremble without any wind. Furthermore, a gurgling sound came from the coffins, as if hands and feet had touched the coffin.

Long Han’s eyelids twitched when he heard this.

He had heard some legends about the Harmonious Bond Sect’s Yin Yang Devils.

It was said that when these two devil corpses were alive, they were the Harmonious Bond Sect’s dual cultivation elders. They both had early Nascent Soul cultivation. However, for some unknown reason, they betrayed the Harmonious Bond Sect and changed their cultivation to the Ghost Dao, cultivating living corpse bodies. Later, after the two of them felt that their cultivation had greatly improved, they fought their way back to the Harmonious Bond Sect and killed over a hundred Harmonious Bond Sect disciples. However, in the end, they were still captured alive by the Harmonious Bond Sect elders, who used an ancient secret technique to erase their minds, refining them into the legendary Yin Yang Devil Corpses.

It was said that the devil corpses’ abilities were even greater than when they were alive.

Just as Long Han was thinking this, the strange sounds from the coffins became louder and louder, and the talismans on them continuously fell off as the spell seals struck them, becoming fewer and fewer!

The thirty-two Harmonious Bond Sect disciples surrounding the coffins continued to chant the incantation, but their faces began to reveal unease. All of their gazes flickered as they stared at the remaining talismans on the coffin.

With two pops, the last two talismans finally fell off at the same time.

All of the Harmonious Bond Sect disciples immediately jumped up as if they had been granted amnesty and scattered in all directions.

However, right at this moment, the two coffins exploded at the same time, and a fishy wind blew. Two blurry figures, one black and one white, shot out from the shattered coffins, chasing after them in different directions in a flash.

The two disciples who were the slowest immediately let out miserable cries. The two figures pounced on the two disciples and bit their throats. They actually began to suck the blood essence of the two disciples.

When the other Harmonious Bond Sect disciples saw this, they let out a sigh of relief and stopped.

When the other cultivators saw this, their expressions changed drastically.

An old man with disheveled hair walked out of the crowd and calmly said, “That’s alright. Since the two devils have absorbed the blood essence of the boy and the girl, they won’t attack again!”

Then, he raised his hands, revealing two green runic bronze plates. He pointed them at the two figures that were still lying on the ground.

Two streaks of grey light quickly disappeared into the heads of the two beings.

The two devils trembled and stopped sucking blood. They slowly stood up and flew toward the cultivators.

At that moment, the cultivators were able to clearly see the faces of the two devils, and they all let out astonished cries.

These so-called Yin Yang Devil Corpses appeared to be a young man and woman. The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, while the woman was beautiful and dignified. Their skins and faces were like that of a living person, but their eyes were slightly demented.

If it weren’t for the bloodstains on the corners of their mouths, others would’ve thought that they were a pair of ordinary dual cultivation partners.

However, as the two approached, an indescribable stench of corpses wafted over.

Only then did the bewilderment in everyone’s hearts dissipate.

The old man suddenly poured his spiritual power into the bronze plate in his hand, causing it to shine with rings of grey light, enveloping the two devils.

The Yin Yang Devil Corpses remained motionless as the old man quickly chanted an incantation, and the bronze plate in his hand gently floated up.

Suddenly, the old man struck the bronze plate with two incantation seals. A thumb-thick grey pillar of light shot out from the bronze plate, disappearing into the couple’s foreheads in a flash.

The two devils’ eyes suddenly lit up.

“Go.”

The old man put away the command medallion and pointed at the huge azure bird in the distance.
