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

Zhao Bolao hurriedly sprang back in retreat upon seeing this, and at the same time, he thrust his spear forward in a rapidfire fashion to unleash a barrage of spear projections.

The surrounding air temperature instantly plummeted as a flurry of snowflakes converged to form a frosty vortex that swept directly toward Han Li.

However, Han Li displayed no intention of stopping as he charged directly forward while plunging his glowing arm straight into the glacial vortex.

A loud thump rang out as the frosty vortex exploded, and Han Li passed straight through it.

Before Zhao Bolao had a chance to adopt any further defensive measures, Han Li's fist had already struck him on the chest, but it was as if his fist had struck a ball of cotton, and it passed straight through Zhao Bolao's chest.

In the next instant, a huge hole was blown into Zhao Bolao's chest, and large volumes of water came gushing out of it.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he attempted to withdraw his arm, but the water flowing out of Zhao Bolao's chest instantly enveloped his arm, clinging onto it to prevent him from extricating it.

Immediately thereafter, Zhao Bolao's entire body transformed into a transparent body of water, which wrapped itself around Han Li like a layer of glue to lock him firmly into place.

At the same time, another Zhao Bolao appeared elsewhere on the platform.

"Looks like this is the end for you, Fellow Daoist Chang," Zhao Bolao said as he swept both sleeves forcefully through the air, and countless blades formed by peerlessly sharp snowflakes came converging toward Han Li from the surrounding spirit domain.

The entire platform was instantly inundated by a dense snowstorm, making it impossible to see anything from the outside.

On the semi-circular stone platform, Zhou Xianyang was looking on with his brows tightly furrowed with concern, while Zhao Yuanlai had a triumphant look on his face, having already turned his attention to Sikong Jian's battle.

"Looks like this is it, Sect Leader Zhou. Like I said, I hope this doesn't sour the relationship between our two sects," Zhao Yuanlai said as he turned to Zhou Xianyang with an apologetic expression, but the elation in his eyes was clear to see.

As for Zhou Xianyang, he continued to look on with a perplexed expression.

Is that all he's got? Did Fellow Daoist Wyrm 3 overstate his powers?

Right at this moment, a burst of blinding, white light erupted over the entirety of the sixth platform, forming a massive vortex of white light that exploded violently.

The glacial spirit domain on the platform also exploded, sending gusts of frosty air erupting in all directions.

The surrounding air temperature plummeted drastically, and some of the weaker spectators couldn't help but tremble as they hurriedly channeled their cultivation arts to protect themselves from the freezing cold.

After the dust settled, it was revealed that Zhao Bolao had already fallen to the ground in an unconscious state, while Han Li remained standing beside him.

However, his clothes were in tatters, his complexion was quite pale, and his lips had turned purple, indicating that the victory had not come easily for him.

Zhou Xianyang heaved an internal sigh of relief, then turned to Zhao Yuanlai to discover that the triumphant look on his face had been completely erased.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Zhao, let's not allow something like this to sour the relationship between our two sects," Zhou Xianyang said as he cupped his fist in a salute, and Zhao Yuanlai nodded in response with a steely expression.

Right as everyone was wondering how the battle on the sixth platform had been decided, the battle on the seventh platform also drew to a conclusion, with Sikong Jian's opponent kicked off the platform, having already sustained severe injuries.

Sikong Jian cast a provocative gaze toward Han Li from afar.

Even though Han Li appeared to have been in a rather sorry state, that was nothing more than an act, and to Sikong Jian's surprise, Han Li didn't back down in the slightest, directly meeting his provocative gaze with a cold one of his own.

Before long, all of the other battles had also concluded, and a new batch of twelve battles commenced.

Instead of returning to the semi-circular stone platform following the conclusion of his battle, Han Li returned straight to the Prominent Mountain Sect branch.

From there, he returned to the courtyard that he was staying in, then entered the Flower Branch domain.

Weeping Soul was still nurturing Lan Yuanzi's soul, while Qu Lin remained in the unconscious state imposed upon him by Weeping Soul.

The next day.

For the second round, Han Li's opponent was Elder Chu Zhong of the Dauntless Sect.

Chu Zhong was someone who very rarely left his sect, so there were very few occasions where he had displayed his powers in public, and as a result, the Prominent Mountain Sect was only able to gather very limited information on him.

All Han Li knew was that he was a cultivator of earth law powers, and that he was an early-Great Encompassment cultivator.

For this battle, Han Li was on the second platform, and he arrived a little earlier than his opponent.

Chu Zhong was an elderly man with a dark complexion with a head of white hair. He had a very unremarkable stature, one that was even slightly shorter than the average person, and his sleeves were rolled up to reveal a pair of dark and wiry forearms.

He was slightly hunched over with his arms hanging down in front of him, giving him the appearance of an old gibbon.

Despite his unremarkable appearance, there was a faint, golden gleam in his eyes, and Han Li knew not to take this opponent lightly.

Zhou Xianyang had taken his assigned seat on the semi-circular stone platform, and even though Boundless Mountain had already been eliminated, Zhao Yuanlai was also present. Just like on the previous day, the two of them were sitting together, and it seemed like the battle from the day before hadn't driven a wedge between them at all.

"Do you know Chu Zhong, Sect Leader Zhou?" Zhao Yuanlai asked.

"I do not. Our Prominent Mountain Sect hasn't had any prior interactions with the Dauntless Sect, and Chu Zhong very rarely makes any public appearances, so I've only ever heard of him, but never met him," Zhou Xianyang replied.

"I've met him on one past occasion, but it wasn't exactly a pleasant encounter. I can tell you that he's very troublesome to deal with. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that he's going to be the fiercest competitor to Sikong Jian in this entire event," Zhao Yuanlai said.

Zhou Xianyang was rather amused to hear this. Only now did he realize that Zhao Yuanlai had come on this day purely to see Han Li lose.

"Looks like Junior Martial Chang hasn't had the luck of the draw on his side. He's going to have to get a little serious against such a formidable opponent," Zhou Xianyang replied, implying that he had managed to defeat Zhao Bolao the day before without even taking their battle seriously.

Zhao Yuanlai was furious to hear this, and only after a long and steely silence did he manage to spit out the words: "I look forward to seeing Fellow Daoist Chang's performance."

He had asked Zhao Bolao the day before how the latter had been defeated by Chang Qi, and he had thought that Chang Qi had to have employed some type of hidden trump card or used some underhanded tactics.

However, even Zhao Bolao himself was unable to explain how he had been defeated. All he had said was that a burst of power far beyond what he was able to tolerate had suddenly erupted out of Chang Qi's body, following which he was knocked unconscious by a single punch.

Right at this moment, the battles commenced.

Han Li cupped his in a salute toward Chu Zhong, then seized the initiative, springing forward to arrive behind his opponent in the blink of an eye before throwing an almighty punch.

A hint of astonishment flashed through Zhao Yuanlai's eyes upon seeing this.

This level of speed and power was far beyond what Chang Qi had displayed the day before.

Chu Zhong also seemed to have been caught off guard by Han Li's sudden attack, and he remained completely rooted to the spot.

However, right as Han Li's fist was about to strike him on the back, a burst of black light suddenly rose from the ground, forming a black stone wall that separated him from Han Li while simultaneously rising up toward Han Li's arm.

The timing was exceptional, and Han Li was struck in the armpit by the rising stone wall before his fist had a chance to reach Chu Zhong, flinging him up into the air.

Before he had a chance to steady himself, Chu Zhong had already sprung up into the air in pursuit while throwing a punch at his back.

His fist was enveloped in a layer of black light that exploded violently upon making contact with Han Li's back, and a burst of tremendous power came crashing down upon Han Li from behind, sending him plummeting heavily down onto the platform below.

Even though the platform had been fortified using special arrays, Han Li's feet still plunged deep into the ground like a pair of steel blades, sending massive cracks running over the platform's surface.

Immediately thereafter, Chu Zhong came crashing down upon Han Li with mountainous force, and his legs were slightly bent, while his entire body was enveloped in a layer of that same peculiar black light.

Han Li felt as if the entire sky were falling upon him, and all of the space around him seemed to have solidified from the immense pressure crashing down from above, making it impossible for him to move and take evasive measures.

He let loose a thunderous roar as over nine hundred profound acupoints lit up over his body in unison, and he channeled his Titan Vajra Arts as he thrust both palms up toward the heavens.

A burst of white light erupted out of the palms of his hands, forming a barrier of starlight to oppose the descending Chu Zhong.

The black and white light clashed to result in a violent explosion, sending powerful shockwaves sweeping through the air in all directions.

All of the spectators were stunned by the tremendous impact of the collision, and they hurriedly focused their gaze on the second platform, only to discover that the pair of combatants had been completely concealed within the explosion of black and white light.
