A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 771

The Battle at the Border (5)

The five-colored barrier condensed by the cultivators was clearly a restriction that specifically countered spirit techniques. What came appeared to be an astonishing attack, but the rainbow barrier remained completely unaffected.

When Long Han saw this, a trace of joy appeared on his face.

The thousand or so cultivators that flew out were all elite disciples of the Nine Nations Union that had been trained for a long time. This was why they were able to set up this formation so skillfully.

After seeing its power, he realized that Wei Wuya didn’t exaggerate.

When the shriveled old man saw that his attack was ineffective, his expression turned unsightly, but he gave the order to attack again without any hesitation.

As the spell warriors chanted, what condensed this time were no longer simple fireballs and ice spears. Instead, fire crows and crystalline ice pythons slowly took shape in the air.

Of course, compared to the first round of attacks, this round naturally took a longer time.

At that moment, there was a slight commotion among the opposing cultivators, and a group of green-robed cultivators flew out of the barrier.

At the same time, they removed their spirit beast pouches from their waists and tossed them into the air. The spirit beast pouches opened and spat out rainbow light, from which several tens of demon beasts of different shapes and sizes flew out.

The three in the lead were especially extraordinary.

One of them had dragon horns on its head and scales on its body. It was a rarely seen Dragon Horse Beast. Another one was a two-headed demonic lion covered in green fur.

The final scorpion was even more terrifying. It was a huge crimson scorpion that was around fifty to sixty feet in length. The hook on its back was pitch-black and violet in color, causing anyone who saw it to tremble!

These demon beasts were a group of powerful spirit beasts meticulously raised by the Devil Dao’s Controlling Spirit Sect. As soon as they were released, under the lead of the three demon beasts, they immediately faced the oncoming giant beasts and the Void Spirit Beasts unleashed by the spell warriors.

For a time, demonic winds blew as the beasts engaged in battle.

Although the three spirit beasts in the lead were only able to deal with one of the wild beasts, the rest of the spirit beasts were numerous. They had also been trained, and they were able to block the huge beasts’ advance. In fact, they even had the upper hand.

At the same time that the demon beasts flew out, thousands of cultivators also rose into the air. They split into five teams and directly rushed towards the opposite side. Along the way, they activated their own magic tools and launched rain-like attacks at the spell warriors’ camp.

The spell warriors were clearly more ferocious than before. The cultivators wouldn’t wait for their opponents to finish casting the spell.

The densely packed magic tools were like a tempestuous wave, continuously crashing into the Moulan defensive formation.

The shriveled old man’s expression darkened, and he let loose a cold harrumph. A large number of spell warriors also flew out, and the two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle in the air between the two formations. Spirit techniques, magic tools, and magic treasures transformed into countless fireflies that intertwined.

Hundreds of barriers and magic tools were destroyed after a brief confrontation, and their bodies directly exploded as they plummeted from the sky.

It could be said to be extremely tragic!

However, with this slight delay, the spell warriors had already finished preparing their spiritual spell attacks.

Tens of Fire Ravens and Ice Pythons seemed to have come to life as they hurtled toward the army of cultivators.

However, this time, the cultivator army was also prepared. Before these attacks could land, countless magic treasures and magic tools soared into the sky, instantly destroying most of the Fire Ravens and Ice Pythons.

The few that managed to escape the net were all blocked by the rainbow light barrier. Although the light barrier swayed a few times, it didn’t suffer any real threat.

However, Long Han frowned when he saw this.

It seemed that although the Nine Nations Union’s protective formation was powerful, it was still unable to completely block the more powerful spirit art attacks.

Thus, he took a deep breath and coldly gave the order.

The army of cultivators held up the five-colored barrier and slowly approached the spell warrior camp.

At the same time, the cultivators took out their magic tools and magic treasures, transforming them into various types of spiritual light that floated in the air or protected their bodies. Various incantations rang out, and these magic tools and magic treasures glowed with even greater spiritual light, ready to strike at any moment.

When the old man in the spell warrior camp saw this, a cold glint flashed through his eyes. He knew that the other party had taken the risk to attack because they didn’t want to give the enemy any more time to cast their spirit spell formation. And from the looks of it, the spell warriors indeed didn’t have the time to launch another round of attacks.

He gave the same command, and the spell warrior army slowly moved forward against the huge light barrier.

The distance between the two sides rapidly shortened.

When they were only 1,000 feet away from each other and could even faintly make out the faces of their enemies, seven soft pops rang out from the ranks of cultivators.

Seven white jade talismans were cast out by the seven Phoenix Cry Sect elders with solemn expressions.

As soon as the jade talismans left their hands, they transformed into seven streaks of white light that shot into the air above the spell warrior army. They circled a hundred feet in the air before revealing their true forms.

In the blink of an eye, earth-shattering thunderclaps suddenly erupted from the jade talismans.

Soon after, the seven jade talismans shattered, revealing seven balls of dazzling white lightning.

Then, they rapidly enlarged.

In the blink of an eye, they had transformed into massive existences that resembled blazing suns.

The seven blazing suns that were over 100 feet in diameter were hovering above the army of cultivators.

This scene was truly astonishing. Many spell warriors couldn’t help but raise their heads to take a look, and astonishment appeared on their faces.

“Not good! Ancient talismans!”

When the shriveled old man saw this, he turned pale with fright.

But before he could do anything, the seven blazing suns exploded one after another.

The air above the spell warriors was instantly filled with crackling arcs of scorching white lightning, transforming into seven huge electric nets that swept down.

The other cultivators seemed to have been awakened, and countless colorful talismans that flashed with various colors were thrown out in all directions.

At that moment, rumbling thunder erupted amid a burst of white light.

…josei

“Looks like the battle outside is very lively!” Han Li muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was staring at the blood-red barrier in front of him with his hands behind his back. There was no trace of panic on his face.

Ever since he found out that the spell warriors had planned to trap them, the trace of worry in Han Li’s heart disappeared.

Although the Moulan people used this method because they were definitely confident in this barrier, Han Li was more confident in breaking this restriction.

However, he had to be more careful about when he would leave and what methods he would use to break through the barrier.

It wasn’t that the earlier he got out, the better.

Although Han Li was willing to help the Heavenly South fight against the Moulans, he also did not want to be cannon fodder and die in a chaotic battle.

After all, this wasn’t a one-on-one battle. It was more than enough to deal with one opponent.

If he were to be targeted by several Nascent Soul cultivators or attacked by hundreds of spell warriors at the same time, it would be extremely dangerous even with his Lightning Movement Technique.

Only by avoiding the initial chaos, and when most of the high-grade cultivators and spell warriors were fighting, would he be able to go out safely. The possibility of being besieged would be greatly reduced.

Of course, if not for the appearance of the blood barrier, Han Li would have other methods to avoid the initial confrontation.

But now, he was able to dodge the most dangerous part of the battle.

Furthermore, the thunderclaps that came earlier were truly astonishing. Even if Han Li was here, he could still feel the tremors from the thunderclaps. It should be a sign that the two sides had finally come into contact.

He didn’t know which side had unleashed such an astonishing attack. It was likely that the other side wouldn’t have an easy time withstanding such a powerful attack.

Thinking of this, Han Li sighed and turned his head to look at the other walls.

This blood barrier was indeed strange. Even with his spiritual sense, he could not penetrate it at all. Furthermore, this restriction clearly looked like a Devil Dao technique. However, when the Divine Devilbane Lightning struck it, it did not have the slightest effect. This piqued Han Li’s interest.

Previously, he had used his Brightsight Spirit Eyes to examine the various parts of the blood barrier.

In the end, apart from a patch of red, there was nothing else.

However, Han Li was not in a hurry. The battle outside had just begun not long ago, so he had plenty of time to study the method to break the barrier.

Han Li opened his mouth and spat out a small azure sword.

Under the control of his spiritual sense, the sword transformed into a foot-long streak of azure light and fiercely struck the barrier.

A muffled bang rang out, but the barrier remained completely still. Instead, the flying sword was repelled three meters away.

Han Li did not appear surprised. After putting away the flying sword, he flipped his hand and a black item appeared in his hand. It was the ancient castle of “Thousand Layer Mountain”.

Han Li tossed the treasure into the air and made a hand seal.

After a flash of black light, a small mountain that was over 100 feet tall silently appeared in front of Han Li.

Han Li stretched out his finger and pointed at the mountain.

The mountain immediately trembled before crashing down toward the wall in the distance.

A resounding boom rang out as black and crimson light intertwined. The mountain was also repelled, and the barrier only inadvertently trembled several times.

Han Li finally revealed a trace of surprise.

After stroking his chin, he suddenly pointed at the small mountain again.

This time, the treasure flew to the center of the blood barrier as a streak of black light.

Afterwards, he chanted an incantation, and the small mountain rapidly expanded in the light. A short moment later, it was over 700 to 800 feet tall, and the summit and the bottom of the mountain were about to touch the top of the barrier and the ground.

Han Li had no intention of stopping. Instead, he raised his hand and shot a few more spell seals at the small mountain.

The speed at which the small mountain was enlarging increased by 30%.

The three-hundred-meter-tall mountain shook with a series of rumbling booms, and it stood in the middle of the blood barrier like a pillar of light. Black spiritual light flickered all over its body.

Under this pressure, the top of the blood barrier began to deform and protrude.

The entire barrier shook violently.

Han Li was overjoyed when he saw this. The spiritual power in his body quickly circulated and he continuously struck the small mountain with various spell techniques.

The black mountain was still slowly expanding, and the deformation at the top of the blood barrier was becoming more and more obvious.

However, when the protrusion reached a certain point, no matter how Han Li activated the spell, the deformation of the blood barrier strangely stopped. The enlarging of the huge black mountain also stopped.

Han Li stopped his hand seals and stared at the top of the blood barrier, narrowing his eyes.

It seemed that the idea of using the Thousand Layer Mountain to break through this restriction wouldn’t work. The next step was to test whether the Celestial Ice Flame and the Purple Apex Flame could break through this barrier.
