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

Chapter 1114: Casualties

A cold sneer appeared on Qi Mozi's face upon seeing this, and he didn't appear concerned in the slightest.

A burst of golden light erupted out of his body, forming a golden spirit domain that was over a hundred feet in size to encompass both himself and Xiong Shan.

The spirit domain was extremely dense, making it impossible to see what was happening inside from the outside.

The water law powers cultivated by the Lan siblings excelled in defense, so they had been quite confident in their ability to ward off the attacks of the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array on their own, and that was why they had chosen to act on their own.

However, their expressions instantly changed slightly upon sensing the power of these five-colored balls of light, and they hurriedly released their spirit domains before combining them together.

Plumes of blue law threads flew out of their bodies before intertwining with one another to form a blue vortex around them, and two domain spirits appeared beside the vortex, both of which had humanoid upper bodies paired with serpentine, with each of them wielding a blue trident.

The two domain spirits rapidly revolved around Lan Yuanzi and Lan Yan while swinging their tridents through the air to release countless arcs of blue water lightning.

Meanwhile, Han Li's trio had also set up some defenses.

Fox 3 was the first one to spring into action, releasing his spirit domain while also summoning his Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.

He opened his mouth to release a ball of blood essence into the saber, and it immediately began to glow with incandescent crimson light while swelling drastically to several hundred feet in size.

At the same time, he made an urgent string of hand seals, and the giant, crimson saber transformed into a light barrier around the trio.

Meanwhile, Wyrm 3 had also unfurled her spirit domain, and four streaks of dark red light flew out of her body before landing around the spirit domain, where they revealed themselves to be four dark red archways.

The archways had the characters for north, south, east, and west inscribed upon them, and they were releasing countless rays of dark red light that intertwined to form a protective light barrier.

As for Han Li, he had also released his time spirit domain, and it encompassed an area that was only less than two hundred feet in size, forming the innermost layer of defense.

At the same time, the Profound Heavenly Gourd appeared above his head, following which thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords flew out from within to form a defensive sword array.

Immediately thereafter, the barrage of five-colored balls of light came crashing down, and they exploded violently as soon as they came into contact with the defenses that everyone had set up.

The entire palace was instantly inundated by dazzling, five-colored radiance, but the golden light barrier around the palace remained completely unmoved.

The crimson saber barrier conjured up by Fox 3 was the first to be destroyed by the balls of five-colored light, and it was barely able to pose any resistance.

The destroyed light barrier reverted back into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber, and it quickly returned to its original size before flying back into Fox 3's grasp with an anguished wail.

The spirit domain around Fox 3 also exploded in the face of the oncoming barrage, and he shuddered violently as he stumbled back while throwing up a mouthful of blood.

The barrage of five-colored light then struck Wyrm 3's spirit domain, and she immediately released a flurry of dark red law threads, which split up into six batches that transformed into six rapidly revolving holes.

The holes were pitch-black and completely devoid of light, looking as if they led straight into the depths of hell.

The balls of five-colored light struck the dark red light barrier, causing it to tremble violently, and the outermost parts of the spirit domain immediately began to disintegrate.

However, Wyrm 3's spirit domain was far more resilient than Fox 3's, and the six black holes were releasing tremendous suction force, devouring much of the destructive five-colored light while also nullifying the explosive five-elemental law powers within them.

However, there were simply too many of these balls of five-colored light, and the six black holes were quickly overwhelmed, following which the entire spirit domain exploded violently.

The wave of five-colored light then struck the light barrier formed by the four archways, which began to flash erratically while giving off law power fluctuations that were far more formidable than those of Han Li's Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

The dark red light barrier was trembling violently, but it was able to keep the five-colored light at bay.

However, it was only able to do so for a few seconds before it also crumbled, causing Wyrm 3 to throw up a mouthful of blood as her aura diminished significantly.

After overwhelming the dark red light barrier, the five-colored light swarmed over the four archways, then continued onward without pause.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and over two hundred time law threads flew out of his body before revolving through the air within his time spirit domain, significantly bolstering it in the process.

At the same time, his Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind him, then released countless waves of golden ripples that fused as one with his spirit domain.

As soon as the wave of five-colored light surged into his time spirit domain, it was instantly stopped cold in its tracks by the opposing time law powers.

However, the five-colored light was imbued with unfathomable power, and the time spirit domain and Mantra Treasured Axis quickly began to tremble violently, looking as if they could be overwhelmed at any moment.

Han Li had encountered a similar scenario in the Almighty Sword Array, but this Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array was a far more powerful array, and it had almost instantly overwhelmed his Mantra Treasured Axis.

Despite this, Han Li remained unflustered as he quickly made a hand seal, and his four other time-attribute law treasures emerged in unison, then began releasing radiant, golden light that infused itself into the time spirit domain.

The wavering spirit domain was instantly stabilized, completely immobilizing all of the five-colored light that had surged into it.

Immediately thereafter, the sword array formed by the thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords sprang into action at his behest, and countless streaks of peerlessly sharp sword qi swept through the spirit domain, eradicating much of the five-colored light.

At the same time, his Profound Heavenly Gourd began to glow radiantly, and it released a burst of green light that swept toward what remained of the five-colored light in the time spirit domain.

All of the remaining five-colored light was instantly sucked into the Profound Heavenly Gourd, and even though more and more five-colored light continued to surge into the time spirit domain, it continued to be immobilized, eradicated, and devoured.

Finally, the five-colored light in the palace faded away, revealing the aftermath of the barrage.

Over at the entrance of the palace, Lan Yan's entire body was drenched in blood, and she was seated on the ground, missing her left hand, left foot, and close to half of her body.

However, she paid no heed to her own injuries as she stared blankly down at a blue jade flower in her right hand with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Lan Yuanzi was nowhere to be seen, and all that was left of him was a pair of destroyed immortal treasures.

The combined spirit domains of the five devilish beings had also been destroyed, and on top of that, the Copper Lion King and the Blood Hand King had also disappeared, while the three remaining devilish beings were all carrying severe injuries and had looks of shock and horror on their faces.

There was a ball of bright, golden light beside them, and it dissipated to reveal Qi Mozi and Xiong Shan, both of whom were completely unscathed.

Inside the five-colored light barrier, Daoist Master Dao Yin's complexion had paled even further, and the same applied to Lei Yuce and the others as well.

Han Li withdrew his time-attribute law treasures, and Wyrm 3 and Fox 3 were a little unsteady on their feet, but they were very relieved to have survived the ordeal.

Daoist Master Dao Yin was clearly rather surprised to see that so many people were still alive, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes as he pointed a finger at the five-colored jade plate before him.

A grim look appeared on Wyrm 3's face upon seeing this, and she turned to Han Li and Fox 3 as she communicated through voice transmission, "At this rate, all of us are going to die here. I have a way to turn the tables, but I'm going to need your help."

Han Li immediately realized what Wyrm 3's intentions were, and he asked, "Are you suggesting that we free that devilish deity?"

"We can't do that! There's a good chance that that devilish deity is a Dao Ancestor, so we'll only be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire!" Fox 3 exclaimed.

"We have no choice! Also, I'm at least 70% confident that I can keep him from attacking us," Wyrm 3 replied, and Han Li's heart jolted slightly upon hearing this.

For some reason, he had a feeling that freeing the devilish deity here was the best course of action. In fact, he had been struck by this feeling from the instant that he arrived in this place, but he had suppressed it this entire time.

Indeed, just as Wyrm 3 had said, they hardly had a choice in the matter.

The Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array was clearly far too powerful for them to resist, and if everyone else here were killed, he was far from confident in his own ability to oppose the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array and the Almighty Sword Sect cultivators on his own.

As for the consequences of releasing that devilish deity, that was something that he didn't want to think about.
