A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

At this moment, a projection of a giant lamp was taking shape in Daoist Master Bone Shine's consciousness, and the four beasts below the lamp opened their mouths in unison while green light flashed through their eyes.

Daoist Master Bone Shine's soul had already been quite severely damaged to begin, and he immediately felt his own consciousness begin to churn violently once again.

Han Li swept a sleeve through the air, summoning an Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword before sending it flying toward Daoist Master Bone Shine right as he stood transfixed by the lamp.

A burst of bright golden lightning erupted out of the sword, then whipped through the air before crashing down upon Daoist Master Bone Shine, scorching the air in its wake, yet right as it was about to strike Daoist Master Bone Shine, the rune on his glabella began to glow radiantly with golden light.

At the same time, a formidable shockwave swept through his consciousness, sweeping toward the giant oil lamp projection.

The projection remained completely unmoved by the shockwave, not displaying signs of strain of struggle, but immediately thereafter, the shockwave abruptly froze solid, and the oil lamp projection was also encased in a layer of ice.

All of this had transpired in the same instant that the rune on Daoist Master Bone Shine's glabella had lit up, and Han Li immediately detected that something was amiss.

He channeled his Reversal True Axis ability without any hesitation, then flew back in retreat right in front of Daoist Master Bone Shine.

Right at this moment, a sharp, white bone spike abruptly pierced its way out of Daoist Master Bone Shine's chest, and on the tip of the spike was what appeared to be a white water droplet.

Han Li was hovering high up in the air, and a hint of lingering fear flashed through his eyes at the sight of the water droplet.

This was a water droplet formed entirely by Daoist Master Bone Shine's law powers, and if Han Li hadn't reacted in time and been struck by the water droplet, then he would've at least suffered extremely severe injuries, if not been killed on the spot.

Even though he was currently in a state of transmigration, this was still his body, and he had no idea what would happen if he were to sustain injuries or even die in this state.

Han Li took a glance at the golden ring above his head to find that over a hundred Time Dao Runes had already faded, which was a rate that was a little slower than his past transmigrations.

However, this wasn't the time to be pondering such matters, and he immediately turned his gaze back to Daoist Master Bone Shine.

At this point, Daoist Master Bone Shine had already awakened from the effects of the Soul Devouring Lamp, and he immediately made a hand seal, upon which one of the bone pagodas in his spirit domain split up on its own to surround the lamp, instantly severing Han Li's spiritual connection with it.

"This Soul Devouring Lamp is even more formidable in your hands than it was in the hands of those sisters, but now that it's been sealed, let's see what other tricks you have to offer!" Daoist Master Bone Shine spat through gritted teeth.

As soon as his voice trailed off, a vicious look suddenly flashed through his eyes, and Han Li immediately channeled his Reversal True Axis to dart away again upon seeing this.

In the next instant, another bone pagoda came crashing down upon him without any warning, and Han Li had only just gotten out of the way when a third bone pagoda appeared in his path, and both of them were burning with green flames.

The seven bone pagodas were flashing through the spirit domain in pursuit of Han Li, slowly driving him into a corner.

At the same time, the initial sense of discomfort that Han Li had experienced had finally compounded to a point where he felt as if it were close to reaching a breaking point.

He had transmigrated to a time and space that he didn't belong in, and the entire world seemed to be rejecting him.

With that in mind, Han Li knew that he couldn't afford to delay any longer, and he made a hand seal to summon eighteen Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords at once, all of which began circling around him with golden lightning flashing over them.

All of his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had been refined in the golden Baleful Lightning Pond back in the Gray Realm, and that seemed to have triggered some type of change within them.

Not only had his spiritual connection with them become more intimate, their spiritual nature had also been significantly enhanced.

The eighteen Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords lit up in unison at Han Li's behest, releasing a burst of tremendous sword qi and a wave of golden lightning that erupted through the air in all directions.

A giant ball of golden light was swelling rapidly with Han Li at its center, and all of the green flames in Han Li's path were immediately forced back into their respective bone pagodas.

Right at this moment, a faint sound rang out nearby, and Han Li immediately swiveled around to discover that the strange bone spike protruding out of Daoist Master Bone Shine's chest was darting toward him from behind at an extraordinary speed and an angle that made it very difficult to ward off.

The white water droplet remained adhered firmly to the tip of the bone spike, and it was also rapidly approaching Han Li.

At this point, it was already too late to channel his Reversal True Axis ability, so Han Li could only summon his Profound Heavenly Gourd.

A beam of dark green light shot out of the mouth of the gourd before instantly clashing against the white water droplet, and a burst of destructive law powers instantly erupted out of the beam of green light.

However, the white water droplet was only stopped in its tracks for a split second before continuing to hurtle directly toward Han Li's chest, but this split second was enough for Han Li to summon his Mantra Treasured Axis.

Ripples of golden light surged out of the Mantra Treasured Axis, slowing down the flow of time in the surrounding area, and the white water droplet was instantly slowed down significantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Li slashed his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword through the air, unleashing a violent torrent of lightning that struck the white water droplet with tremendous power.

An earth-shattering boom rang out as arcs of golden lightning erupted in all directions, and the white water droplet exploded before dissipating into a cloud of a mist, while the white bone spike was trembling violently as it flew back through the air.

Han Li withdrew his Mantra Treasured Axis upon seeing this, then flew after the white bone spike as he aimed the tip of his Profound Heavenly Gourd directly at it.

A green vortex instantly emerged from the mouth of the vial, releasing a burst of immense suction force that drew the white bone spike into the gourd in a flash.

A cold look flashed through Daoist Master Bone Shine's eyes upon seeing this, and he quickly made a hand seal, upon which the entire bone withering spirit domain shuddered violently.

At the same time, the green flames burning over the eight bone pagodas were snuffed out one after another until only the flames in the eight giant skulls on top of the pagodas were still lit.

As a result, the light in the spirit domain had become quite dim, and Han Li could sense that the surrounding environment was undergoing some subtle changes.

"It's truly very impressive for a mere early-High Zenith Stage Jade Immortal to press me to this extent, but unfortunately for you, such a massive disparity in cultivation base cannot be bridged by your spiritual secret techniques alone," Daoist Master Bone Shine said as he began to approach Han Li.

"I beg to differ. I still haven't used all of my spiritual secret techniques yet, so how do you know they're not enough to bridge the gap between us?" Han Li countered with a composed smile on his face.

Daoist Master Bone Shine hesitated involuntarily upon hearing this, clearly still a little apprehensive of Han Li's spiritual attacks.

"Your Soul Devouring Lamp has already been sealed, and there's no way you can use that spiritual sense sword ability again in such a short time, so you're clearly bluffing," Daoist Master Bone Shine harrumphed coldly.

"Is that so? Why don't you come and find out?" Han Li goaded.

"Fine, I will," Daoist Master Bone Shine chuckled coldly, and as soon as his voice trailed off, his body instantly began to swell drastically in size.

His robes were torn to shreds as a series of jagged bone spikes protruded out of his body, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a giant skeletal devil.

At the same time, his aura had been drastically elevated to an incredibly fearsome level.

The entire bone withering spirit domain seemed to have also been affected by his transformation, and the light within it became extremely dim, while the pressure on Han Li was compounded by severalfold.

In the wake of his transformation, Daoist Master Bone Shine's eyes had already turned a crimson color, but the golden rune on his glabella still remained, and he let loose a thunderous roar before bounding straight at Han Li.

All of the space in his wake shuddered violently, as if it were being compressed by his immense power, and the golden ripples released by Han Li's Mantra Treasured Axis were also forced back alongside the compacted space, rendering them unable to impede Daoist Master Bone Shine's movements.

The giant skeletal devil raised an enormous hand, then swung it down upon Han Li's head, and its finger resembled five bone scythes that tore through the space up ahead, threatening to tear Han Li to pieces.
