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

Chapter 1145: Trapped Once Again

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Li channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and true spirit bloodlines in unison, and a cloud of devilish qi surged out of his body alongside a flash of silver lightning as he transformed into a massive bird with three different heads, namely those of the Lightning Bird, the Heavenly Phoenix, and the Azure Luan Bird.

The three-headed bird was over a thousand feet in size, and it had a pair of azure and crimson wings, as well as a massive tail consisting of seven fiery feathers. Its talons were silver in color and as sharp as blades, and there were arcs of silver lightning flashing over them.

The giant bird spread its wings, and two gusts of fierce, azure wind were released, propelling it up into the air. At the same time, jets of crimson flames erupted out of its tail feathers, while a torrent of silver lightning surged out of its talons.

In the blink of an eye, the giant bird had accelerated to a mind-boggling speed, and after just a few flaps of its wings, it had already vanished into the distant sky.

Chi Meng's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, while Immortal Lord Miao Fa's body began to dissipate into a flurry of snowflakes as she set off in pursuit of Han Li.

"So he really does have some tricks up his sleeve. This is turning out to be much more fun than I expected!" Chi Meng grinned to herself, not looking concerned in the slightest.

Immediately thereafter, she also set off in pursuit of Han Li atop her fiery, red cloud.

Meanwhile, Han Li was fleeing with all his might.

In his current form, his speed was inferior by much compared with using his lighting teleportation array, and he had the advantage of being able to travel continuously, rather than having to stop to conjure up new lightning arrays between bouts of teleportation.

However, it didn't take long before the surrounding air temperature began to plummet again, and a vast cloud of white mist appeared around Han Li.

As soon as Han Li flew into the cloud of white mist, he immediately felt as if he had crashed headfirst into a wall of wind and snow, slowing him down significantly.

Han Li couldn't help but be stunned by the enormous area that Immortal Lord Miao Fa's spirit domain was able to encompass, as well as the power of the structures manifested by the Creation Tier spirit domain, such as the wall of ice from earlier and this fearsome snowstorm.

Clearly, the disparity of a single cultivation rank wasn't an accurate reflection of the vast gap between early and mid-Great Encompassment cultivators.

However, there was no time for Han Li to ponder all of this as he opened all three of his beaks in unison, releasing an azure whirlwind, a pillar of silver lightning, and a plume of crimson flames that fused as one in mid-air to form a vibrant and colorful pillar of light that erupted directly forward.

The pillar of light appeared extremely out of place in the bland, white snowstorm, and it blasted a huge hole that was tens of thousands of kilometers in length through the snowstorm, allowing Han Li to pass through it without any further obstruction.

After passing through the snowstorm, Han Li discovered that what was supposed to have been a summer's day had turned into winter, and that the entire landscape had been encased in ice as far as the eyes could see.

Before Han Li had a chance to even fully take in his surroundings, Immortal Lord Miao Fa's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"I'll admit that you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve for a mere High Zenith cultivator, but what are you going to do now?"

As soon as her voice trailed off, a huge shadow began to appear directly ahead of Han Li, one that seemed to connect the heavens to the earth.

Han Li could immediately tell that this was none other than the same wall of ice that had obstructed him earlier, and he immediately channeled his Reversal True Axis to roughly double his own speed.

A layer of glacial qi was spreading down the wall of ice, and in the blink of an eye, it had already spread over half of the wall.

Han Li could only swoop down to fly toward the bottom half of the wall, which still hadn't yet frozen solid.

However, even with his incredible speed, he was unable to outrun the spreading glacial qi, and it looked as if the wall were going to fully freeze solid before he could reach it.

Right at this moment, a burst of silver lightning flashed through the eyes of his Lightning Bird head, and two balls of silver lightning that he had been charging up for quite some time erupted out of his talons to strike the foot of the wall of ice.

An earth-shattering thunderclap rang out as that section of the wall of ice exploded into countless shards of ice, creating a huge hole that Han Li was able to pass through.

Immediately thereafter, he spread his wings again to regain altitude and continued to flee into the distance.

A furious look flashed through Immortal Lord Miao Fa's eyes upon seeing this, and right at this moment, she suddenly noticed that Chi Meng was nowhere to be found.

Even after flying through the wall of ice, Han Li knew that he couldn't grow complacent, and he continued to channel his Reversal True Axis ability, burning through his immortal spiritual power and law powers at an alarming rate.

Thanks to his tireless efforts, he was able to slowly open up a gap between himself and Immortal Lord Miao Fa, but before he even had a chance to catch his breath, a burst of radiant, white light suddenly appeared up ahead, and Chi Meng emerged within it.

The white light was so bright that Han Li reflexively narrowed his eyes against it, and in the next instant, an enormous, semi-transparent dome of light descended from above, crashing down upon him before forcing him to the ground.

Han Li flapped his wings with all his might to dart forward through the air, only to crash into the dome of light, which shuddered violently upon impact. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A dense layer of runes then emerged over its surface, giving off peculiar energy fluctuations as they converged toward Han Li from all directions, rocking his soul violently while forcing him to the ground.

Upon landing on the ground, Han Li reverted back to his human form, and the dome of light around him quickly shrank down to only the size of a house.

Han Li looked around to discover that the dome of light resembled an upside-down bowl, and that its surface was riddled with countless runes.

There were also nine fiery, crimson dragons coiled on top of the dome, and all of them were glowering down at him in a menacing fashion.

Han Li could detect extremely formidable fire law power fluctuations emanating from the nine dragons, and by his estimate, this had to have at least been a fifth tier immortal treasure.

After capturing Han Li using the dome of light, Chi Meng descended out of the sky as she remarked in a disappointed manner, "You're nothing special, after all! All you've done is run like a coward up to this point. How on earth were those idiots from the Golden Origin Immortal Palace wiped out by you? They're a disgrace to our Heavenly Court!"

Han Li paid no heed to her disappointed musings as he activated his Infernal Devilish Eyes to closely examine the immortal treasure, hoping to identify some point of vulnerability that would allow him to escape.

"Just give it up! This Nine Dragon Divine Fire Dome is a fourth tier immortal treasure that even a Great Encompassment cultivator would struggle to escape from, let alone a mere High Zenith cultivator like yourself. Just surrender to spare yourself the physical punishment," Chi Meng coaxed.

After inspecting the entire dome, Han Li discovered that he was surrounded by a ring of formidable law powers with no vulnerabilities to be exploited.

Right at this moment, Immortal Lord Miao Fa also arrived on the scene, and her brows furrowed slightly at the sight that she was greeted by.

"You're too late, he's already my prisoner," Chi Meng gloated with a triumphant smile.

"Is that so? But I don't see any shackles around him. If all you've done is trap him, then didn't I already accomplish the same thing earlier?" Immortal Lord Miao Fa objected.

"Clearly, neither of us is going to be able to convince the other, so let's just finish our battle and let the outcome decide who gets to keep him," Chi Meng said.

"Sounds good to me!" Immortal Lord Miao Fa harrumphed coldly as she sprang up into the air.

Chi Meng was just about to set off in pursuit when she suddenly seemed to have recalled something, and she turned to Han Li as she warned, "Don't try any funny business! If you struggle recklessly in my Nine Dragon Divine Fire Dome, you could easily end up dead! Unlike Miao Fa, I actually want to keep you alive."

After that, she flew up into the air in pursuit of Immortal Lord Miao Fa, and a burst of tremendous pressure descended from the heavens as both women flew up into the clouds.

Half of the sky was set alight by scorching, red flames, while the other half of the sky had been devoured by a glacial snowstorm, but Han Li had no time to appreciate the spectacle.

After taking a moment to compose himself, he removed his Profound Heavenly Gourd from his waist, then tipped it over so that its opening was aimed at a point where the underside of the dome was in contact with the ground.
