A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality - Chapter 898

Chapter 898: 898



Han Li looked at Silvermoon’s transformed appearance as she departed, sighing in amazement at her impressive illusion . In all manners of appearance and aura, she appeared exactly the same as him .

“Does Senior believe Silvermoon’s illusion techniques will allow her to trick the two pursuers?" Han Li asked Monarch Soul Divergence . "In any case, they should most likely not be able to see through her since I can’t detect anything either . ”

“Your artifact spirit is quite unique! Even I am unable to completely see through her illusion . At one moment, her illusion is weaker and in another, it is stronger . If it weren’t for the holy beast of theirs, they definitely wouldn’t be able to differentiate between the two of you . ”

After a moment of silence, Han Li’s feeling of unease still remained, but he flew in the opposite direction of Silvermoon regardless .

Of course, Han Li couldn’t have known that giving Silvermoon a portion of the Gold Devouring Beetles was an unintentionally effective move .

When the Soaring Tribes Immortals saw that Han Li split into two and were heading in different directions, the purple-haired woman and the Saintess exchanged a look of dismay and stopped .

The purple-haired woman brushed the hair from her face and she clicked her tongue in amazement . “What is this? An incarnation technique? Their auras and spiritual Qi fluctuate at the same strength and they both appear entirely the same . That cultivator truly has many techniques . ”

Feeling quite the headache from this sudden development, the Saintess said, “The distance is too far between them . There is no way of telling which one is the genuine of the two with our spiritual sense . I’ll have the Holy Beast examine them . ”

Soon after, the woman uttered a few words to the Endless Sky Beast with an ancient language . Azure light then flashed from the beast’s body and the pair of bull horns on its body became crystalline and transparent . It cried out several times and it gave the Saintess an answer with its spiritual sense .

“It is truly troublesome . He might’ve discovered we were tracking him through the scent of the Gold Devouring Beetles . Both of these doppelgangers possess the beetles and the Holy Beast isn’t able to differentiate them . ”

The purple-haired woman raised her brow and said, “If that’s the case, we can’t let either of them escape . ”

“It’s no matter . Let us each pursue one of them each . Now that we’re so close and he’s using such tricks to split us apart, he shouldn’t have anything else up his sleeve . Since he plans on dividing our forces, how about we properly oblige him?” The Saintess then wore a cold smile .

“Yes, but I heard that while this person possesses mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, his abilities are no weaker than a late-Nascent Soul cultivator,” the purple-haired woman worriedly said, “However, he’s injured so you shouldn’t have much to fear from him if you encounter his true self . I will chase the other one . So long as he doesn’t use any wicked movement techniques, I should be able to deal with him and join back with you . ”

“Please don’t worry, Immortal Sun . Although that crimson movement technique is strange, it clearly comes at great cost, or he would’ve already used it to leave us behind . He’s managed to escape us until now but I reckon he is at the end of the line . I also have the holy cauldron to protect me so there are no worries . ” The Saintess smiled and spoke with confidence .

“In that case, it should be fine . I’ll be heading out first . ” The purple-woman smiled and then flew off in a purple streak of light, chasing after one of the Han Li’s .

As for the Saintess, she chased after the other one with a cold glint of light flashing from her eyes .

With a rare tone of concern, Monarch Soul Divergence said, “They’ve separated as you’ve expected . Youngster Han, your plan to separate them was truly effective . It appears their holy beast only has a fraction of its soul and is still lacking in its abilities . Even if you don’t kill that Endless Sky Beast soon, the duration of the seal release will run out and the two Grand Immortals will return . You’ll be left in dire straits, not to mention the Endless Sky Saintess won’t be easy to deal with either . ”

Han Li used his spiritual sense to look at the Saintess trailing behind him and he sullenly replied, “I have a plan . I don’t wish to kill the woman, only the holy beast . It shouldn’t take much time . ”

“Oh? Then I will wait and see what happens . ” Monarch Soul Divergence said with a calm tone .



Han Li didn’t reply . When the time came and he felt an opportunity was about to arrive, he suddenly flew in a circle and slapped his storage pouch, releasing several thousands of Gold Devouring Beetles in a surging rush . They formed a golden buzzing cloud that revolved in the air .

Then, several tens of sparkling gold flying swords shot out from his sleeve . Under the control of a spell seal, they transformed into over a hundred astonishing swordlights wrapped around his body .

After forming two incantation gestures, he shouted, “Join!” The swordlights trembled and flew upward, filling the air with blinding golden light . In the blink of an eye, it formed an imposing twenty-meter-long sword .

Han Li then opened his mouth and spat out a ball of purple flames . It transformed into a foot-long bird and charged into the huge sword .

The purple firebird ruptured and covered the huge sword in a layer of purple flames . Countless small arcs of golden lightning then flash from within the purple flames, in a display of immense power .

Han Li frowned when he saw this . After some thought, he spat a mist of azure Qi onto the sword . Suddenly, the arcing lightning from the sword disappeared without a trace .

He nodded with satisfaction from the sight and under his mental command, the golden sword pierced into the sky, instantly entering the black clouds and disappearing without a trace .

At that moment, a faint speck of light could be seen from the horizon . It was the Endless Sky Saintess .

Han Li narrowed his eyes when he saw her and his sleeve trembled, summoning a set of azure flying swords that began to circle around him . A blue shield then flew out from his other sleeve to block his front .

He flipped his two palms to summon an ancient purple mirror he acquired from Devilfall Valley in one hand, and his Spirit Subjugation Talisman in the other . With the Soullock Seal lifted, the last use of his talisman should raise his cultivation to an even higher level than the last two times he used it . Having thought that, he quietly waited in place for the Saintess to arrive .



Although the holy beast didn’t possess a high cultivation, its speed was truly unordinary . In a span of a few breathes, it quickly arrived several hundred meters in front of Han Li .

Han Li coldly examined the Saintess and then turned to look at the Endless Sky beast . Apart from its large bull head, he wasn’t able to make out anything particularly fearsome about it .

Compared to the beast, the Endless Sky Saintess was far more eye-catching . She possessed outstanding and unique charm, not to mention her immensely powerful cultivation as well .

As Han Li examined her, the Saintess did so as well . She felt somewhat alarmed by Han Li’s young appearance, but her attention was immediately attracted to the huge cloud of Gold Devouring Beetles in the sky . She couldn’t help but betray an expression of delight .

“You . . . ” The Saintess hesitated for a moment as if wanting to ask something .

However, Han Li had a limited amount of time before the Soullock Seal would take effect again, and he also feared she would discover the huge sword hidden in the sky . Uninterested in the woman wasting his limited time, he silently pointed to the Gold Devouring Beetles in the sky and command them to charge towards her . Then, the azure flying swords fluttering around him swept towards the woman in waves of sword blurs .

“You’re courting death!” When the Endless Sky Saintess saw that Han Li immediately set out to attack, she flew into a rage and raised her hand, releasing a dark green bracelet from her wrist . It massively grew in size and rushed to meet the sword blurs .

She tossed a spirit beast pouch into the air with her other hand . In a flash of golden light, over ten huge fully-matured Gold Devouring Beetles shot towards the insect cloud .

As this all happened, she hadn’t noticed how the black clouds in the sky were slowly growing closer to her .

The jade band was a powerful ancient treasure . As soon as the azure sword blurs made contact with it, the jade band began to quickly spin and contain all the sword blurs inside of it . When Han Li sensed the swords rendered completely ineffective by the powerful revolving force, he felt his heart tremble .

As for the dozen mature Gold Devouring Beetles, they had a huge advantage against Han Li’s swarm .

Han Li clearly saw that while his own beetles far outnumbered the fully mature Gold Devouring Beetles, they weren’t able to harm them in the slightest . Rather, the fully mature Gold Devouring Beetles were devouring the smaller beetles one bite at a time .

With a sullen expression, Han Li silently slapped the Spirit Subjugation Talisman on his body, instantly beginning his transformation . His entire body glowed with crimson light as red scales covered it and a flood dragon horn appeared on the top of his head . An astonishing aura then surged from Han Li’s body .

The Saintess yelped in shock, “What technique is this?!”

But then without the slightest fear, she opened her mouth and spat out a scarf magic treasure . It circled around her body before growing over ten meters long . It then stood upright to reveal the portrait of a huge silver silkworm .

Han Li was startled when he saw this . Just as he pondered about the treasure’s abilities, light began to glow from the silver silkworm portrait on the scarf and it came to life . It opened its mouth and shot out streams of silver thread in Han Li’s direction .

The two were separated by a gap of over three hundred meters, but the dense streams of silver thread closed the distance in an instant .

In Han Li’s alarm, he pointed to the blue light shield without any further thought . The shield immediately transformed into a large barrier of light and completely enveloped Han Li . Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of purple flame at the barrier of light .

Purple glacial Qi burst from the light barrier and covered an area of ten meters in front of him . Then with a crackle, a purple ice wall thirty meters tall was raised in front of him .
