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

As soon as Han Li entered the purple lightning pond, the purple lightning pond instantly converged toward him like sharks that had smelt blood, forming a corkscrew-shaped pillar of lightning around him.

Thick arcs of purple lightning sprang forth to strike his entire body amid a string of thunderous explosions, and his skin instantly turned bright red, while profusely bleeding gashes were inflicted all over his entire body.

Not only that, but as soon as the purple lightning struck his body, his glabella instantly turned pitch black, and fierce killing intent welled up in his heart, while his eyes also turned bright red.

Bursts of tremendous baleful qi fluctuations erupted out of his body, and the baleful decay that he had just forcibly suppressed was rearing its ugly head once again.

A hint of lingering fear flashed through Fox 3's eyes at the sight of Han Li's struggles, and he was very glad that he hadn't entered the purple lightning pond.

Meanwhile, Weeping Soul also cast a glance in Han Li's direction, and a hint of concern flashed through her eyes.

All of a sudden, a series of true spirit projections sprang out of Han Li's body again, and they were far clearer than before.

These lightning ponds contained both destructive power and the power of rebirth, so all of his true spirit bloodline had been strengthened somewhat from the time that he had spent in the azure lightning pond.

However, that wasn't necessarily a good thing for Han Li as the enhancements in these foreign bloodlines placed more of a strain on his body.

Han Li took a deep breath, and he remained calm and composed.

After what had just taken place in the azure lightning pond, he already had some experience when it came to dealing with these changes in his body.

After taking a moment to compose himself, he immediately channeled his Spirit Refinement Technique, using his immense spiritual sense to quell the killing intent in his mind. At the same time, he channeled his Great Universe Origin Arts to protect his internal organs, allowing the purple lightning to travel through the rest of his body.

As bursts of formidable lightning power began to infiltrate his body, more baleful qi was expelled, and plumes of black qi began to rise up from his body before instantly being eradicated by the purple lightning.

At this moment, all of his immortal acupoints had also been filled with purple lightning, forcing out the stubborn baleful qi lurking within.

As the baleful qi was cleansed, the killing intent in his mind gradually faded, and his eyes regained their former clarity as well.

This process was clearly more painful than what he had endured in the azure lightning pond, but he gritted his teeth tightly as he withstood the excruciating punishment.

Fifteen minutes passed by in the blink of an eye.

At this point, Han Li's entire body was already riddled with wounds, giving him the appearance of a torn rucksack.

However, his eyes were tightly shut, and there was a calm and placid look on his face, as if he couldn't feel any pain.

Large plumes of black baleful qi continued to surge out of his body, but all of a sudden, the outflow of baleful qi abruptly slowed down.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he opened his eyes, then immediately flew up into the air.

The surrounding purple lightning instantly followed along, forming a purple lightning net that attempted to ensnare him again.

Han Li harrumphed coldly as he channeled his Reversal True Axis ability, shooting up into the air as a golden shadow, but the purple lightning net was far more resilient than the one released by the azure lightning pond, and he was unable to break free right away.

Seemingly enraged by Han Li's provocation, the purple lightning pond released several thick arcs of lightning that hurtled directly toward him.

In contrast with the other lightning in the pond, these arcs of lightning were far brighter and had countless tiny lightning runes flashing around them, giving off tremendous lightning law powers.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and his Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind him before rapidly revolving to send countless golden ripples surging through the air in a radius of over a hundred feet around him.

The arcs of purple lightning were instantly brought to a halt upon entering the golden ripples, but they seemed to be imbued with tremendous power, and the entire area of golden ripples was trembling slightly.

Han Li immediately swept a sleeve through the air upon seeing this, releasing a ball of green light that contained the Profound Heavenly Gourd.

He cast a string of incantation seals toward the Profound Heavenly Gourd, and a vast expanse of green light instantly surged out of its mouth before sweeping up the arcs of purple lightning, which instantly began to rapidly dim and shrink.

Immediately thereafter, the arcs of purple lightning were sucked into the Profound Heavenly Gourd in a flash.

With part of the purple lightning net sucked into the Profound Heavenly Gourd, the pressure on Han Li was lessened significantly, and he was able to fly up into the air, struggling free from the lightning net before landing near the lightning pond.

After that, the Mantra Treasured Axis vanished at his behest, and the surrounding golden ripples also faded.

The purple lightning net flashed a few times, but with no target left to restrain, it quickly descended back into the lightning pond.

After taking a moment to steady himself, Han Li took a few pills, and all of the gashes on his body began to rapidly heal, while his complexion also improved slightly.

"How are you feeling, Fellow Daoist Li? Right now, Patriarch Liu Qi is able to oppose Yin Chengquan with Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul's help, but they won't be able to keep this up for long. Our fates will be sealed if any other Infernal Tribe reinforcements arrive on the scene, so we have to make haste and sever the three remaining lightning chains as soon as possible," Fox 3 hurriedly said through voice transmission.

"Alright, I'll take some time to recover and wait for Fellow Daoist Shi to come out," Han Li replied with a nod as he turned his gaze to the purple lightning pond.

At this moment, Shi Chuankong was still in the pond, and a series of deep gashes had been sliced into his skin, some so deep that bone was visible through them.

Crimson light was flashing within his eyes, while his glabella had turned pitch black, and it was clear that he was also contending with his baleful decay.

His entire body was trembling uncontrollably from the excruciating agony, but he possessed remarkable mental fortitude, and he was gritting his teeth tightly as he endured the pain.

As plumes of black qi surged out of his body, the crimson light in his eyes gradually faded, as did the black coloration of his glabella, and his skin was beginning to take on a translucent, jade-like appearance.

Han Li knew that there wasn't anywhere near as much baleful qi in Shi Chuankong's body compared to him, and the purple lightning pond had already eradicated much of that baleful qi. At this rate, there was a very good chance that he would overcome his baleful decay to reach the semi-High Zenith Stage.

However, right at this moment, the rate of baleful qi outflow from his body suddenly abated, while the translucent quality of his skin also receded.

Han Li heaved an internal sigh upon seeing this.

It seemed that the second pond had failed to allow Shi Chuankong to overcome his baleful decay as well.

Shi Chuankong opened his eyes, then sprang up out of the lightning pond.

The arcs of purple lightning around him instantly intertwined to form a purple lightning net, and in response, a giant silver lotus flower appeared around his body amid a flash of silver light, then began to release streaks of sharp sword qi that struck the lightning net.

The purple lightning net shuddered violently as an opening was instantly sliced into it, and Shi Chuankong flew out of the opening before landing on the edge of the lightning pond.

He was already in terrible physical condition, and he had exerted himself even further by unleashing that secret technique, causing him to throw up a mouthful of blood.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately summoned a vial, then tipped all of the pills inside straight into his own mouth before sitting down with his legs crossed.

A layer of dark purple light emerged over his body, and his wounds instantly began to rapidly heal.

Only after a long while did Shi Chuankong opened his eyes, following which he turned to Han Li and Fox 3 with a wry smile as he sighed, "I came within a hair's breadth of dying in there."

"It's very remarkable that you were able to survive two Baleful Cleansing Ponds in succession. I'm very thankful that I don't have to go through this. Are you alright now?" Fox 3 asked.

"I'm fine," Shi Chuankong replied.

"In that case, let's begin," Han Li said, then flew over to the silver lightning pond before sweeping a sleeve through the air, and Daoist Xie appeared beside him amid a flash of golden lightning.

"I need your help, Brother Xie," Han Li said, and Daoist Xie nodded in response. Han Li took a deep breath as he grabbed tightly onto the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber with both hands, then injected his immortal spiritual power into it in a frenzy.

Red light flashed over the saber as all of the patterns on its surface lit up, and it began releasing a tremendous aura.

Fox 3, Shi Chuankong, and Daoist Xie thrust their palms toward Han Li in unison, injecting their immortal spiritual power into his body, following which all of their immortal spiritual power surged into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.

The red light emanating from the saber brightened even further, and the aura that it was releasing was also climbing steadily.

Layers upon layers of crimson saber projections emerged, and Han Li swung the saber down with all his might as he called out internally, "Lend me your power, Senior Shi!"

A giant crimson fox projection suddenly emerged from the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber, then pounced forward and vanished into the saber in a flash.

The immortal spiritual power of Han Li and the others was gushing into the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber like floodwaters through a broken dam, but none of them were all that alarmed, given their previous experience in severing the azure lightning chain.

All of the countless crimson saber projections vanished into the saber, causing it to swell to roughly twice its original size before striking the purple lightning chain, which instantly began to tremble violently, while the runes engraved upon it glowed as radiantly as the sun.

The purple lightning pond erupted into a frenzy, and all of the lightning inside rose up to form a ball of lightning that sped toward Liu Qi along the chain.

However, the ball of lightning was only able to make it halfway before the purple chain was snapped under the saber.

The ball of lightning instantly drew to an abrupt halt, then exploded to send arcs of lightning flying in all directions.

Han Li shuddered slightly as a layer of purple lightning appeared over his body, but it only appeared for an instant before fading away, as if nothing had ever happened.

A contemplative look appeared on his face, while the snapped purple chain plunged into the lightning pond.
