A Record of a Mortal s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 847: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures of Heavenly Skill, Chapter 844: The Meeting of the Twin Demons Chapter 847: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures of Heavenly Skill, Chapter 844: The Meeting of the Twin Demons Han Li did not stow away the Heaven Extermination Devil Corpse or the puppets; instead, he released more than a dozen huge tortoise puppet beasts during his escape.

The Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu and the lady in white who followed behind were surprised to see this, but their hearts eased somewhat.

Although these puppets were unremarkable individually, if utilized cleverly with dozens working together, even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

However, while their minds were slightly at ease, not only did Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu feel a surge of jealousy, but the lady in white also quietly muttered to herself, feeling all the more that Han Li’s methods were boundless and profoundly unfathomable.

In the blink of an eye, Han Li covered a distance of over ten li and arrived near the battleground.

Standing a hundred zhang away, he gradually came to a halt and observed everything clearly before him.

It was only when he got this close that he realized the so-called black and purple strange lights were actually made up of numerous strands of pitch-black Demonic Qi dancing wildly within the purple-red devilish light.

The source of these miasmas of Demonic Qi turned out to be a demonic creature at the center of the purple light.

This monster had a single horn on its forehead and a fierce face, closely resembling the two-headed, four-armed creature that had escaped, but its body was no different from that of a normal person, and its skin was even exceptionally translucent, resembling fine jade.

At this moment, the demonic creature had no expression on its face and its eyes were closed slightly, as if it had not yet fully awoken.

What was strange, though, was that despite its lips being firmly shut, thunderous roars would occasionally burst from its belly.

Judging from the sound, it seemed as if the monster was in an extreme rage, yet its face was expressionless to the extreme, as wooden as could be.

The two arms of this demonic beast also mechanically hurled black balls of fire towards the ground below, moving stiffly and appearing extremely sluggish.

While these black Fireballs seemed inconspicuous, once they fell into the green clouds below and exploded, they would invariably raise a wave of fire more than ten zhang wide which scattered the nearby green clouds in disarray.

But Wei Wuya’s poisonous fog was no trivial matter either.

It would roll and surge back up immediately, extinguishing the black flames.

At the same time, the fog transformed into numerous green, huge pythons that relentlessly struck upwards, attempting to break through the sky and directly attack the demonic creature hidden in the devilish light.

As a result, the green fog, strange lights, and black Devil Flames intertwined and flickered, with occasional rumblings of thunder echoing through the sky.

“What’s going on here?

That demonic creature looks like it hasn’t fully awakened or there might be some kind of seal on it.

This could be a good opportunity,” Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu, who arrived shortly after, stopped near Han Li.

After catching sight of the creature in the sky, his expression changed and then he spoke excitedly.

“If it were so easy to kill, Fellow Daoist Wei would have taken action long ago.

Why else would he endure and hide in the poisonous fog?

It seems there are other mysteries involved.

However, judging from the intensity of the Demonic Qi, this creature must have a significant connection with the one that ran away, and it’s even more formidable.” Han Li casually shook his head as he spoke, while his gaze and Divine Sense continuously swept over the nearby area.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why there was no trace of the ‘Marquis Nanlong’ who had been demonized and arrived here first.

His gaze paused, however, when he first noticed the silver-haired elder and others not far away.

Their faces were already stunned upon seeing the situation in the field; seeing the arrival of Han Li and others, they were even more astonished.

Senior Martial Brother Cheng was both alarmed and delighted when he saw Han Li.

However, for some reason, he merely nodded and smiled at Han Li from a distance, without any intention of approaching.

Seeing this, Han Li could only smile wryly in his heart and decided to first transmit his voice:
“Senior Martial Brother Cheng, how did you get involved here?

This demonic creature is extremely dangerous; even Fellow Daoist Wei Wuya below might not be its match.

In addition, there should be another two-headed, four-armed creature not much inferior to the one in the field.”
“What?

That’s Fellow Daoist Wei Wuya below, and there’s another such creature!

Senior Disciple, Han Li, knows so clearly, have you already taken action?” the silver-haired elder transmitted his voice with a start.

“I only tested the other creature a little.

Although I couldn’t gauge its true strength, it should be no less than a late Nascent Soul cultivator.

Only by joining forces with the two fellow Daoists by my side could we barely manage to cope.

And these creatures can consume the Nascent Souls of cultivators, move as quick as the wind, and are adept at concealing their presence.

You should be careful, Brother!

If we do decide to fight, it would be more secure if all of us joined forces,” Han Li advised hurriedly, issuing several warnings.

“Understood.

I’ll discuss it with the two fellow Daoists here,” the silver-haired elder replied urgently, his heart sinking upon hearing Han Li’s solemn words.

He then saw the silver-haired elder turn and say something to Daoist Heavencrystal and the unfamiliar elder beside him, relaying Han Li’s words.

Daoist Heavencrystal, who had already recognized Han Li, couldn’t hide his shock at the sight of the two or three dozen tiger demon huge tortoise puppets beside Han Li.

He nodded towards Han Li with a smile while talking with the silver-haired elder.

The elder with a face full of wrinkles looked at Han Li with a hint of surprise upon hearing his name.

Although he was a Nascent Soul eccentric who had been in seclusion for many years, unaware of the world’s affairs, Han Li’s recent renown was too resounding.

Since Han Li was also the disciple of his close friend, the elder was naturally a bit curious, but he just nodded slightly towards Han Li without further ado.

As for Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu and the lady in white, although they too were renowned, they had no real relationship with the people opposite them.

Thus, even though they knew that Han Li was transmitting his voice, they let him communicate with the three on the other side.

“Dealing with such a terrifying demon, it would be best for everyone to join hands.”
Just then, a deep and slightly hoarse voice came from within the green clouds.

It was Wei Wuya speaking.

“Is that you, Fellow Daoist Han?

It’s great that you and several other Daoists could rush here in time.

This demon is an ancient devil that invaded our human world in the Ancient Times, and it’s the sworn enemy of us cultivators.

Unexpectedly, one was sealed within Devilfall Valley, and it was accidentally released by Sect Leader Wang and the others.

Sect Leader Wang and Sect Leader Wang Tiangu have already died in the explosion of the spatial tears as it broke free from the seal.

I used all my divine skills and barely survived.

But I’ve suffered severe injuries and won’t be able to hold it off for long.

Fortunately, part of the seal imposed on it by ancient experts remains within its body, and it is currently using the devil flame within it to refine and break the restrictive formations.

You Daoists must stop it.

Otherwise, if it regains all its magic power, no one in Devilfall Valley will be able to withstand it.

You will all fall victim to it as well.”
Wei Wuya’s voice was urgent and anxious, indicating he was likely heavily injured.

Moreover, as soon as he finished speaking, the green fog in the middle churned, and a figure appeared amidst a green light.

His face was ashen and bloodless, and his eyes were somewhat dim-it was none other than Wei Wuya.

Upon hearing this, Han Li was startled, and his heart secretly groaned with bitterness.

He originally thought he was merely coming to assist Wei Wuya, but now it turned out that they were expected to take the lead.

This was a big problem!

Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu, the silver-haired elder, and others exchanged glances, unsure of what to do upon hearing this.

If even a great cultivator like Wei Wuya was no match for this demon, they were even less likely to succeed.

But if they were to just scatter and flee, Wei Wuya enforced their sense of duty, and if the news of their cowardice leaked, they would never be able to hold their place in the Heavenly South Region of immortal cultivators again.

After all, this was not a fight between cultivators, where fleeing when the tide turns would not be criticized.

“Fellow Daoists, do not worry,” Wei Wuya’s voice softened, having sensed the embarrassment of Han Li and the others.

“I have probed with my divine sense from afar.

You just need to delay this demon for a moment, and other Daoists will soon arrive.

Moreover, I sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to the Moulan Spell Warriors not long ago.

If the Moulan people want to establish themselves in the Heavenly South, they will certainly come to offer support.”
Upon hearing this news, Han Li and the other cultivators all sighed in relief.

Although they might not be a match for this demon, delaying it for a while seemed feasible.

However, the demonic figure with a human body floating in the dark and ominous Qi seemed to understand their conversation.

Its half-closed eyes slightly trembled with a flash of cold light.

The devil flame in its hand ceased, and it slowly raised its head to survey its surroundings.

Wherever the demon’s gaze passed, black and purple lights flickered incessantly.

Everyone suddenly felt a chill rise from their backs, as if they were being targeted by a natural predator, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Only Han Li, who cultivated the Great Development Technique and had an exceptionally powerful divine sense, felt uneasy but contracted his pupils and exchanged a glance with it, a flash of blue light in his eyes.

If he consciously avoided its gaze, he feared that it would leave a shadow in his heart, making him hesitant in future confrontations with this demon.

The ancient demon with a demonic head and human body seemed taken aback by Han Li’s reaction, and after its piercing cold gaze swept around, it returned to focus on Han Li.

Han Li simply watched the demon in return, half-closing his eyes and remaining silent.

Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu and the white-robed woman, who were originally standing beside Han Li, involuntarily moved a few steps aside after being swept by the ancient demon’s gaze, seemingly unable to bear the weight of the demon’s divine sense.

Seeing this, the expressions of the others changed, and they could not help but brace themselves.

At that moment, the demon raised a hand, black flames danced, and a black Fireball rapidly swelled in size until it was as large as a human head.

Then, with a wave of its arm, the Fireball vanished in a flash.

Han Li’s heart turned cold, and he was then taken aback.

Because the target of the black fireball was not Han Li and the others, but rather it suddenly appeared in an empty space above the demon and exploded.

An area more than thirty feet wide was engulfed in black devil flames.

As Han Li watched in astonishment, a figure flashed beneath the black devil flames, and a two-headed, four-armed monster appeared.

Its four arms waved, wreathed in purple light, and the black devil flames converged and condensed, transforming back into a black Fireball in one of the palms.

Then, with a motion of the arm, the front head of the monster swallowed the black Fireball into its belly, then raised its head to fix its cold and eerie gaze upon the demon below.

“It is indeed you.

You have finally come,” sighed the ancient demon with the demonic head, speaking in human tongue unexpectedly.

“You’re quite bold to take action against me.

It seems you’ve made your own decision.

When I released you to devour that cultivator’s Primordial Spirit and laws, I truly wonder whether it was right or wrong,” said ‘Marquis Nanlong,’ the two-headed, four-armed creature, with the front head snickering before speaking in an unfriendly tone.
