A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality—Immortal World Arc - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: My Turn

Almost right after Han Li and Liu Le’er appeared on the field, the giant field trembled and nine black stone pillars rose up and formed a circle with them in the center.

Each stone pillar was about the circumference of an average human and about twenty yards tall. From the top to the bottom, each stone pillar was carved with countless runes and emblems. There were even innumerable sparkling black spirit stones embedded on it and they sparkled brightly with a black glow.

Apart from that, every stone pillar had a statue of a ghostly monster on top. Some had their tongues poking out while some had wings on their backs. All of them were different, but they all looked very lifelike and extremely vicious, it made the hearts of those that gazed at them turn cold.

A dazzling black glow started to shine from the ghostly monsters of every stone pillar, the glows connected with each other and in the blink of an eye, they formed a black dome of light. On its surface, countless black runes sparkled nonstop.

Under the boiling black glow, countless blurry ghostly shadows overlapped with each other. Terrible cries and howls could be heard and they created an eerie atmosphere. Seeing this, Liu Le’er’s heart shivered and she leaned closer towards Han Li.

This girl was no longer the same little fox girl that needed to be constantly protected by her ‘Brother Stone’. However, she had not seen such a large array before, so her face turned completely pale.

Seeing this, Han Li did not even glance at the turtle-looking elder above them. He waved a hand, and the silver firebird flew out from his palm. With a loud flap, it morphed into a silver flame net and completely covered Liu Le’er.

“Stay inside. You don’t have to be scared.”

Hearing Han Li say this, Liu Le’er instantly felt a lot more at ease.

Right at this moment, a loud bang rang out.

Lights flashed from all of the buildings around them, gathering and surrounding the field. They were all Sky Ghost Sect disciples dressed in black.

Within moments, the sky above the large field was filled with countless shadows. A few hundred people had already gathered but more and more disciples gathered..

Right now, Han Li was completely unaffected by the loud commotion around him. His eyes flashed with a blue glow as he checked out the nine stone pillars and the black light calmly.

The Sky Ghost Sect disciples who gathered in the field originally thought that a strong enemy had invaded their Sect. In the end, when they saw a young man who looked normal and in his twenties and a teenage girl in the middle of the large array formation in the center of the field, they all blanked out a little and glanced at each other with some uncertainty.

However, when they saw the dark expression the turtle-looking elder had above the array formation, no one dared to approach him to say anything.

The turtle-looking elder ignored everyone else around him as well. With a jump, he landed on one of the black stone pillars and muttered something under his breath as he took out nine black array disks and hurriedly made a hand seal.

Nine array disks flew out one after another, before they landed on each of the nine giant stone pillars below, instantly flashing and disappearing into the black glow the stone pillars exuded.

The black light glowed a little and from the more violent boiling of more black runes, the pillars grew once more. The ghostly figures that were originally a little blurry started to turn clearer and solidified under the flashing runes as well.

Seeing this, the turtle-looking elder finally let out a sigh in relief. However, he never stopped making more hand seals.

Right at this moment, two bright rays of light shot out from afar. In the blink of an eye, the rays dimmed and two figures appeared.

One of them had white hair yet looked really healthy with his flushed cheeks, while the other was a man with tanned skin.

Like the turtle-looking elder, these two people were Spatial Tempering cultivators as well.

Seeing three inner sect elders appear at the same time, the normal Sky Ghost Sect disciples instantly stopped all chattering.

The moment the white-haired elder and the tanned man appeared, they did not bother to greet the turtle-looking elder and simultaneously let out their consciousness to check out Han Li and Liu Le’er below them, as well as the void around them.

“Elder Jiang, what exactly happened for you to use the Lesser Shift Void Array Disks to transport these two juniors right into our Sect and even activated the Nine Ghost Kings Pillars? Whenever this array is utilized, the resources it uses are not little.” The white-haired elder asked the turtle-looking elder with a hoarse voice.

The tanned man glanced at the latter, clearly extremely confused as well.

“You two came at the right time. Quickly help me to strengthen the array formation and extinguish them.” The turtle-looking elder said hurriedly as he made a hand seal.

“Strengthen the array to extinguish these two low leveled cultivators? These Ghost Kings Pillars can even trap a fusion refinement almighty. Brother Jiang, are you joking?” The tanned man chuckled softly, not moving according to what the other had said.

The white haired elder did not move as well.

The various disciples nearby also started a commotion. However, because of the turtle-looking elder, they did not dare to be too loud.

Several people had already discovered that the man trapped in the array formation was at the Nascent Soul stage while the girl was only at the Core Formation stage. Even the normal disciples were able to kill them easily, yet a great Spatial Tempering cultivator like the turtle-looking elder was actually telling them to activate the well-known Nine Ghost Kings Pillars. If word of this got out, would they not become a great joke?

“Don’t underestimate them. Although this green-robed boy’s cultivation base is low, he is actually an extremely strong strength cultivator.” The turtle-looking elder said hurriedly.

“A strong strength cultivator…” The tanned man still wore a smile as he shook his head.

The white-haired elder glanced below him, at Han Li who was still looking around even though he was surrounded with a white glow and even looked a little calm and at ease. He furrowed his white eyebrows and was about to open his mouth and speak.

Right at this moment, Han Li raised an eyebrow, his roaming eyes finally fixated somewhere as he muttered to himself.

“Since I’m already here, let’s settle some things together.”

The moment he finished speaking, his figure trembled and a bunch of shadows appeared in front of the white light. With that, he reached out a fair finger and knocked somewhere towards the light in a seemingly careless manner.

Something incredible appeared!

After a soft pop, the entire black glow started to tremble drastically. The pillars started to flash brightly and the ghostly figures that were originally bashing about started to move about crazily like they had lost their souls.

The tanned man’s smile froze as he widened his eyes subconsciously.

The turtle-looking elder trembled terribly as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly changed his hand gestures to make various hand seals, wanting to stop the array formation with all of his might.

“Not good! Strengthen the formation quickly! We cannot let that person break out!” The white haired elder shouted as he flew out and landed on one of the black stone pillars.

The tanned man also regained his senses and wanted to fly to another stone pillar in shock, but it was already too late.

They watched as the dark glow on the surface of the black light sparkled and all of the ghostly shadows disappeared with a flash. Following that, nine giant ghost faces appeared on the light the nine stone pillars faced. All of their expressions were crumpled with pain, as they opened their mouths to cry out viciously and loudly.

The cries were like sharp needles that pierced the ears. The disciples on the field all hugged their heads and cried out terribly while the weaker ones started to bleed from their ears.

After screaming, countless black runes surged out from the nine giant ghost faces and with a blur, they instantly broke down.

The entire light screen cracked and shattered into pieces like it was a sheet of glass, disintegrating into countless small black lights!

Not only so, countless cracks also appeared on the statues of the ghostly monsters on top of the nine black stone pillars with loud cracking sounds.

Right now, Han Li had already retracted his fingers and placed both of his hands behind him. He started to walk towards Liu Le’er, who was not too far away from him, against the sky filled with floating black lights.

Liu Le’er, who was under the protective silver flame net, lit up. If she was not still surrounded by a large number of enemies, she would have cheered for her Brother.

Seeing that their Sect’s great array formation was actually broken so easily by the other party, the three elders suffered an extremely strong blow and were in great shock.

The countless Sky Ghost Sect disciples were completely dumbfounded as they stared blankly at what happened.

“You dare ruin our Sect’s treasured array formation! Face death!”

The turtle-looking elder cried out loud before he opened his mouth and spat out a white ray of light that morphed into a white bone knife. The back of the knife was pierced with nine large silver rings.

All of his ten fingers moved rapidly and he made six consecutive hand seals.

The nine rings on the bone knife started to ring and made others start to lose their minds from just listening to it. Countless bloody red runes appeared around it as it exuded a dazzlingly bloody glow before the knife hacked towards Han Li.

Almost at the same time, the white-haired elder waved his arm as quick as lightning and threw out an ancient black walking stick. There was a black dragon head on top of it.

It twirled around in the middle of the air, before the walking stick grew in the air and morphed into a black flood dragon. The flood dragon suddenly widened its mouth and with a pop, it sprayed out a large amount of black flames.

The tanned man took out a silver feathered fan without any hesitation. It seemed to have been made from a certain magical beast’s feathers. He injected the fan with his magic, before he waved it ruthlessly.

The skies instantly changed color and a dark and eerie gray wind blew out, morphing into eight gray wind dragons that pounced towards Han Li.

Seeing the three elders attack him, the Sky Ghost Sect disciples around them stopped hesitating and took out all sorts of magical treasures, all of them starting to mutter under their breaths.

In that moment, spiritual light of all colors surged brightly around Han Li.

Seeing this, a sparkle on Han Li’s forehead glowed and a strong consciousness flew out from within and with an incredible and unstoppable strength, it immediately surrounded the entire field.

Ring, ring, ring!

An incredibly strong soul pressure pressed upon everyone present.

Everyone on the field felt the great pressure pushing against their minds.

The Sky Ghost Sect disciples around were instantly dazzled by countless sparkling golden stars. Following that, those whose vision turned black started to fall down one by one onto the field. They collapsed on the floor straight away and could not move anymore.

The magical treasures in the air instantly lost connection with their owners and fell on the floor with loud clangs.

Ultimately, the three elders did have Spatial Tempering cultivation bases, so they were already strong to begin with and after some minor trembling, they instantly recovered.

The attacks from the magical treasures from the three of them continued nonstop. Saber beams, black flames and the wind dragons instantly appeared in front of Han Li.

Han Li remained unmoved and it looked like he was not planning to dodge them at all.

Three consecutive bangs rang loudly!

The bloody knife glowed and exploded after a tremble, morphing back into a white bone knife and flew backwards. On the other hand, the black flames and wind dragon instantly dissipated. They were not even able to cause Han Li any harm, not to mention even touching the green robe on him.

As for Liu Le’er beside him, most of the attacks had been blocked by Han Li. Under the protection of the silver flame net, she was completely untouched.

“How is that possible!”

The three of them sucked in a cold breath of air, as if unable to believe what they were seeing.

“Is it my turn now?”

Han Li looked up, saying calmly.
