A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1383: Golden Meridians, Jade Bones
Chapter 1383: Golden Meridians, Jade Bones
Han Li hurriedly made a rapid string of hand seals, and his five time law treasures appeared around him, and they had all undergone substantial evolutions after being reformed.
The five time law treasures were revolving incessantly while radiating incredibly pure golden light and immense time law power fluctuations.
Before Han Li had a chance to do anything else, the bolts of golden lightning came crashing down from above at an incredible speed.
Thankfully, Han Li was up to the task, and he reacted just quickly, raising his arms to the heavens.
The High Heavens Shield above him immediately began to revolve rapidly while releasing a stream of countless golden runes.
As the lightning of time crashed down onto the High Heavens Shield, countless cracks instantly appeared over its surface, and they were rapidly expanding.
Immediately thereafter, the High Heavens Shield exploded into countless golden shards that erupted in all directions, but at this point, it had already bought Han Li enough time.
As his five time law treasures orbited around him, a gargantuan, golden vortex took shape, releasing almighty devouring power that sucked in the oncoming bolts of golden lightning.
Han Li stood at the center of the vortex, swaying side to side as the vortex trembled in the face of the lightning of time, but his hands remained as steady as ever, and he was making a rapid string of hand seals.
The golden vortex stood firm against the lightning of time crashing down from above, and an impasse ensued.
Golden lightning erupted in all directions amid rumbling thunderclaps, causing the nearby space to tremble violently.
The Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devilish Monarch were forced to retreat into the distance, and only after several minutes had passed did the storm of golden lightning finally recede.
The golden vortex down below also faded away, and it was revealed that Han Li's robes were in tatters, giving him a rather bedraggled appearance, but he remained largely unscathed.
Right at this moment, the golden coloration of the tribulation clouds up above quickly faded away, and it reverted back to its original, inky black color. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
All of a sudden, a streak of purple light descended out of the tribulation cloud vortex, and one end of it vanished into Han Li's body in a flash.
All of his injuries were instantly fully healed in the blink of an eye, while a pillar of golden light that was filled with time law threads rose up from his body, then fused as one with the streak of purple light.
The pillar of golden light instantly began to glow brighter than before, and it circled around in the air above Han Li like a roaming dragon while giving off incredibly formidable time law power fluctuations that caused the surrounding space to tremble and warp.
The Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devilish Monarch had already retreated to a safe distance away, but their footing had become rather unsteady once again, forcing them to retreat even further away.
The golden dragon only circled around Han Li for a moment before vanishing into his body, and a surprised look appeared on his face as he could sense that all of his time law threads were fusing into one with his body, which was beginning to take on a semi-transparent, golden hue.
At the same time, his nascent soul and his soul seemed to have also melted into his body like a pair of ice cubes, and the fearsome law power fluctuations surging out of his body quickly receded.
The tribulation clouds in the sky had also faded away, and everything returned to normal.
Han Li hovered in mid-air as he sensed all of the changes taking place in the world around him, and a winding, golden river appeared in his eyes. A thin branch split off from the golden river, passing through the boundless expanse of space to connect itself to him.
He raised his hands and looked down at his own arms to discover that his skin had become as thin and translucent as paper, and he was able to see all of his blood vessels and bones, the former of which had golden blood flowing inside, while the latter was as fair as jade.
"This is the legendary golden meridians and jade bones... So this is what it feels like to be a Dao Ancestor..." Han Li murmured to himself with irrepressible excitement in his eyes.
He then gently closed his eyes as his spiritual sense began to roam through the Middle Earth Immortal Region, and everything, the destroyed landmarks, the chaotic world's origin qi, and the countless lost lives, were presented to him in stunning clarity.
Before long, his spiritual sense had already drifted out of this immortal region to reach others, while the chaotic vortex continued to expand, looming over the entire Middle Earth Immortal Region like a massive lid.
Everything on the ground below was rapidly disintegrating, reverting back to their most fundamental constituent parts before being absorbed by the chaotic vortex in the sky.
All of the lifeless bodies that littered the earth were gradually melting away, while the surviving cultivators were darting around in a panicked and aimless fashion.
In this doomsday-like scenario, where could they possibly run?
At this point, Li Yuanjiu's group had already been separated, and Meng Po was doing her best to protect Yu Menghan as they frantically flew from one place to another for refuge.
She had been robbed of most of her power by the Three Thousand Daos Divine Array, leaving her significantly weakened, but even so, she still held firmly onto the hand of her prized disciple.
Yu Menghan's clothes were dirty and in tatters, but there wasn't much fear or panic on her face. Instead, she was looking at her mistress with a gentle and serene expression.
The two of them had only just barely evaded a rapidly expanding spatial rift when a spatial vortex appeared directly beneath them, sucking them downward against their will.
Meng Po turned around to give Yu Menghan a look of apology, and she regretted bringing her disciple here. She would've met her demise even if she had stayed in the sect, but at the very least, it wouldn't have been under such hellish circumstances.
Yu Menghan shook her head with a gentle smile, reassuring Meng Po that she had nothing to apologize for, then cast her gaze up toward the heavens, wishing to see Han Li one final time before she was devoured by the spatial vortex down below.
However, she had only just looked up when a streak of golden light descended upon the two of them from above, then pulled them out of the spatial vortex.
"Go inside my domain treasure for now," Han Li instructed as he flew to their side before sweeping a sleeve through the air to conjure up a door of silver light.
Yu Menghan opened her mouth to call out to Han Li, but was interrupted by a resounding boom as the sun hanging above the Middle Earth Immortal Region exploded violently, plunging the entire immortal region into eternal darkness.
"We'll have to catch up some other time, Fellow Daoist Yu," Han Li said in a grim manner, and the two women stepped through the spatial doorway.
Meng Po had been observing Han Li this entire time, and she could see the feelings that Yu Menghan harbored toward him from the look on her face.
Her intuition told her that the man standing before them was perhaps the biggest hope that all of the countless living beings of this world had for surviving this ordeal.
If it weren't for him, perhaps Gu Huojin's plan would've already fully come into fruition.
Even as a Dao Ancestor, Han Li wasn't able to glean the thoughts of Meng Po and Yu Menghan, and at this moment, he was looking up at the sky as his aura gradually stabilized.
Gu Huojin was standing high up in the heavens with his lower body submerged in the chaotic vortex, looking as if he were about to be devoured by it, but his eyes were alight with excitement, as if this were a fate that he would gladly welcome.
There was no longer any black visible in his pupils, only a pair of gray vortexes that were revolving incessantly while giving off a peculiar power.
On his left, the Devilish Monarch's hands were clasped into a seal, sending a massive, radiant, silver pagoda hurtling toward Gu Huojin, while a gargantuan pillar of light was also racing toward him from the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate at the Reincarnation Palace Master's behest.
In response, all Gu Huojin did was reach out with his hands, and a pair of huge, chaotic hands emerged from the vortex around him to keep the oncoming attacks at bay.
Han Li quickly made a hand seal as he channeled his Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra, and his five time law treasures began circling around while giving off radiant, golden light alongside immense time law power fluctuations.
He joined his palms in front of his own chest, and the winding river of time reappeared, as did that feeling of oneness with the world.
Inside the chaotic vortex, Gu Huojin suddenly turned his gaze to Han Li as if he had sensed something, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes as he exclaimed, "He actually managed to do it, and his affinity with the Heavenly Dao is even greater than what I was able to achieve!"
