A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 745

Breaking the Formation (7)

As soon as the azure lantern flame left the woman’s hand, it released a blinding azure light.

Then, it began to revolve above her head, following which an astonishing scene unfolded.

The azure and white flames surrounding the white lotus immediately transformed into threads of flames that surged like rivers entering the sea.

In the blink of an eye, the Purple Cloudlace’s Jadesun True Fire had been completely absorbed. The lantern flame was still calmly floating in the air, but the azure light on it had become even more dazzling.

The green-robed woman unhurriedly pointed at the lantern flame, causing it to ripple before flying toward Silvermoon.

Silvermoon’s expression changed drastically and she pointed at the purple net without another thought. The purple net immediately shined with light and densely packed threads appeared in front of her. At the same time, she flipped her hand and summoned the Ancient Flower Basket.

At that moment, the huge azure sword arrived above the woman with a thunderous boom. Under the command of the incantation seal, it descended from the sky.

Silvermoon was naturally extremely cooperative. As soon as she turned the flower basket into a ball of white Qi to protect herself, she formed an incantation gesture with her hands, and the purple light enveloping the white lotus suddenly opened a large mouth in the air.

The huge sword was wrapped in arcs of golden lightning and blue flames as it slashed down at the white lotus below.

The green-robed woman’s expression changed slightly upon seeing the astonishing might of the huge sword, and a solemn expression appeared on her face for the first time.

After a moment of hesitation, she no longer had the time to attack Silvermoon. Instead, she abruptly circulated her spiritual power through her legs and poured it into the white lotus. Immediately, the lotus petals swelled several times in size, and layers of lotus projections extended upward at the same time, forming an extremely thick barrier of light.

At that moment, she pointed at the flame and it immediately flew back to the woman’s head. She then raised the copper lantern in her hand and waved it.

After a series of azure phantoms, two flame flowers of the same size appeared side by side above the woman, instantly converging together to form a head-sized azure fireball.

At that moment, the huge sword finally arrived at the light barrier formed by the lotus petals.

A series of thunderous booms erupted.

Thunder and explosions rang out at the same time, and white light, golden lightning, blue flames, and other types of light intertwined with one another.

Although the white lotus petals were extremely wondrous, the Divine Devilbane Lightning and Celestial Ice Flames were even more so.

The lotus petals might be able to withstand one of the attacks, but with the combined power of the seventy-two Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords and the two attacks, the lotus projection was only able to withstand the attack for a short moment before disintegrating into starlight.

The huge sword came crashing down without any resistance, but at that moment, the azure fireball was slowly approaching.

A cold light flashed through Han Li’s eyes.

Although he was somewhat fearful of the azure flames, he still wanted to test the power of the Celestial Ice Flames compared to the lantern.

The huge sword immediately followed suit without any hesitation.

This time, the collision was completely silent. Regardless of whether it was the faint golden arcs of lightning or the extremely cold Celestial Ice Flames, they were all instantly engulfed by the azure lantern flames, followed by the huge sword.

The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords were Han Li’s lifebound magic treasures, so they were naturally extremely sensitive.

In the instant that the azure flames completely enveloped the huge sword, his heart trembled and an extremely uncomfortable heat suddenly rose from his heart. Soon after, the temperature of his entire body rapidly rose, and even his blood seemed to be boiling.

Han Li was greatly alarmed, and he hastily formed an incantation gesture with his hands before pointing at the huge sword.

The huge sword hummed and azure light wildly flashed, transforming into several tens of small azure swords that scattered in all directions.

Han Li originally thought that he would be able to escape from the strange flame, but when he took a closer look, his expression changed drastically.

The flying swords were engulfed in azure flames again.

Han Li’s expression fluctuated as he felt the discomfort in his body worsen. His entire body began to sweat profusely. He gritted his teeth in horror and quickly formed hand seals with his fingers. His spiritual sense split and controlled the several tens of flying swords, either soaring into the sky or circling wildly in an attempt to escape from the flames of the sword.

Having personally witnessed the ancient silver bell being melted into silver liquid, he didn’t dare to allow his own magic treasure to be destroyed.

If that was the case, his spiritual sense would be greatly damaged.

At that moment, the white lotus petals that had been destroyed re-emerged from the lotus plate beneath the green-robed woman’s feet, once again protecting her.

The woman coldly watched as Han Li’s flying swords were enshrouded by the flames of the lantern and then flew through the air in a sorry state. A sneer appeared on her face.

She wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. She was waiting for her opponent’s magic treasure to be destroyed and for his cultivation to be greatly damaged.

However, a short moment later, the sneer on the woman’s face froze and surprise appeared in her eyes.

The copper lantern in her hand wasn’t an ordinary ancient treasure. Strictly speaking, it didn’t even belong to her. Instead, it was one of the two great Moulan inheritance treasures.

The reason why she was able to keep this treasure was not only because of her profound cultivation, but also because she was the number one female spell warrior of the Moulan Tribe. Most importantly, she possessed a lofty status similar to that of the Soaring Tribes’ Endless Sky Saintess, and she was greatly respected by the other high-grade spell warriors.

Even the three great Divine Sages of the Tribe Race had to treat her with respect and didn’t dare to slight her at all.

Ever since this ancient treasure entered her possession, due to some special reasons and the restrictions of the lantern itself, she hadn’t been able to use it many times and wouldn’t easily use it.

Once the times of usage were exceeded, the treasure would have to be immediately taken back and handed over to the next owner.

From this, it could be seen how much importance the Moulans placed on this treasure.

However, the most important use of the copper lantern wasn’t to compete with others, but rather to serve a special purpose that was incomparably important to all Moulans.

Of course, using this treasure to battle was always successful. The previous owners of this treasure had used it to slay powerful enemies and refine countless treasures.

Regardless of whether it was an ancient treasure or a magic treasure, as long as they were enveloped by the azure flame, they would definitely be unable to withstand it.

As for the wood-attributed treasures, they were naturally countered by the flames and would disappear in the blink of an eye.

However, Han Li’s wood-attribute flying swords were clearly a set of magic treasures. They had been wrapped in the flames for so long, yet they didn’t even show the slightest sign of turning to ash.

This caused the woman to be stunned for a long while.

While the woman was still in shock, purple light flashed above her head, and a purple cloud appeared without any warning.

Cultivator Le recovered from her shock and saw that Silvermoon had taken advantage of this opportunity to activate the Purple Cloudlace’s restrictions, sealing the opening once again.

She then twisted her waist and opened her red lips, spitting out a pink fragrant mist that instantly engulfed the white lotus.

The green-robed woman coldly snorted and looked at the copper lantern in her hand. After a moment of hesitation, she decided not to use it again.

Instead, she raised her other hand, and a faint yellow jade pendant appeared in her hand.

Just as she was about to activate the treasure and teach Silvermoon a lesson, the pink fragrant mist suddenly shook and a strange fragrance wafted through the air, transforming into countless handsome men and beautiful women. All of them were embracing each other in an extremely bold and intimate manner, causing the woman to first be stunned before her face turned red.

“Demoness, you’re courting death!” The woman’s expression soon turned ashen. Yellow light flashed from the jade pendant in her hand and a yellow mist swept out, blowing away the pink mist.

However, Silvermoon was nowhere to be seen.

Cultivator Le coldly laughed and was just about to use her spiritual sense to find her when she suddenly thought of something. Her expression changed and she hastily turned to look at Han Li.

During Silvermoon’s interruption, Han Li had already condensed his flying swords into a huge sword and summoned it back to his side. He was staring at his enemy with a grave expression.

Seeing that the flying swords had yet to be refined, Cultivator Le was aghast, but she naturally wouldn’t wait any longer.

She immediately raised the copper lantern in her hand and was about to use it to refine Han Li, even if it meant wasting her next opportunity.

Han Li suddenly brought his hands together in front of his chest. One of his hands was covered in a layer of cold white light, and blue flames appeared on the other hand. He then opened his mouth, and a ball of azure Qi enveloped his hands.

A purple flame the size of an egg appeared between his hands, and Han Li pointed a finger at it.

Amidst a slight explosion, the purple flame transformed into a lifelike purple flame bird. It spread its wings and charged towards the huge azure sword that was suspended in mid-air.

Bang! A strange scene ensued.

Purple and azure flames ignited on the surface of the huge sword at the same time. The two flames swayed and intertwined with each other as they desperately devoured each other.

For a time, it was impossible to tell which of the flames gained the upper hand.

Han Li’s brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was indecisive. As for the woman surnamed Le, she was completely dumbfounded.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would’ve found it hard to believe that the purple flame wasn’t afraid of her ancient lantern’s flame.

However, she immediately came to her senses.josei

Her desire to kill Han Li grew even stronger.

He was only an early-Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he possessed so many heaven-defying abilities. If he were to advance to mid-Nascent Soul stage or even late-Nascent Soul stage, wouldn’t he be able to sweep through the entire Moulan Plains?

With that in mind, the woman’s expression sank and she tossed the copper lantern into the air. The treasure stabilized about 10 feet above her head. She then sat down cross-legged with a solemn expression and formed an incantation gesture with her hands. She closed her eyes and began to chant.

The white lotus beneath her immediately began to shine with dazzling white light, and the copper lantern above her head began to shine with azure light.

This time, Cultivator Le was truly determined to erase Han Li from the cultivators of the Heavenly South Region even if she had to use up the copper lantern.

Han Li also noticed the green-robed woman’s actions, and his heart immediately sank. He inwardly complained and finally decided to retreat.

Although he still had the Purple Apex Flames and the Blood Devil Sword, he had no intention of fighting her to the death.

The green-robed woman before him was definitely no ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. He wasn’t willing to perish together with her.

Just as this thought appeared in Han Li’s mind, a humanoid figure suddenly appeared in the sea of mist.

Both Han Li and the woman faltered upon seeing this person.

However, just as the two of them were distracted, the purple cloud above their heads suddenly parted to the left and right, and a streak of white light shot toward the copper lantern at lightning speed. In a flash of white light, the lantern was swept into the light.

Then, it circled in the air before flying back toward the purple cloud.
