A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 574: The Appearance of the Ghost Mist

If it were an ordinary late foundation formation cultivator trapped within this circle of golden flames, it would indeed be, as Wen Tianren said, impossible to hold out even for a moment.

But Han Li was different!

At this moment, he glanced at the surrounding golden flames, furrowing his brows slightly. Then, with one hand, he tapped his storage pouch, producing a small bottle in his palm.

Looking at the small bottle, Han Li couldn't help but sigh softly.

This newly acquired Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid probably wouldn’t last much longer.

It was somewhat ironic. Had he not obtained this spiritual liquid from Yuan Yao, he would probably be facing a dead end right now. But likewise, if it weren’t for his desire for this spiritual liquid, he wouldn't have encountered this heir of the six paths and ended up trapped.

This gave Han Li a strange feeling deep in his heart.

It seemed like he was at a disadvantage now. But with half a bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid in his possession, he was actually fearless.

On the contrary, whether it was the golden light imprisoning him, or the fiercely burning golden flames, Wen Tianren could not have unleashed them without paying any price. If they battled each other’s cultivation base and endurance, it was actually an opportunity for Han Li to win.

This time, Wen Tianren was absolutely courting death.

With this thought, a cold sneer flashed across Han Li’s face. Inside the light shield, he also sat cross-legged, preparing to officially engage in a war of attrition with the heir of the six paths, and then strike back.

Thus, a strange scene appeared: the sky, originally crackling with lightning and thunder, suddenly became silent.

Wen Tianren and Han Li sat facing each other, one above and one below, forming hand seals and remaining silent.

Only the towering golden flames, several dozen meters high, burned soundlessly.

The stunning young woman, Zi Ling, saw this scene. Her bright eyes flickered with light as she sighed slightly in her heart.

From her perspective, Han Li was trapped by Wen Tianren’s divine flames and unable to escape, so his defeat was inevitable. Although Han Li could rely on the silver light shield to remain unharmed for the moment, he was merely holding on with great difficulty.

At this moment, she only stood at a distance with a complicated expression, showing no intention of intervening. It seemed she wouldn’t meddle in the battle until it was completely over.

Meanwhile, dozens of low-stage cultivators including the Mei siblings and an elder surnamed Zhao, situated dozens of miles outside the island, were too far to see the intense battle between Han Li and Wen Tianren.

However, the distant afterglow of light and the sounds of thunderous explosions faintly reached them.

As a result, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

They mistakenly thought it was the White Shadow fighting the foundation formation cultivators on the island, which made them even more unwilling to leave.

Now that all the sounds and signs of battle had suddenly ceased, these cultivators looked at each other uncertainly, unsure whether the fight had concluded or if some accident had occurred.

Naturally, they dared not leave lightly and could only grit their teeth and stay put.

On the other side of the small island, where a group of beautiful female cultivators surrounding the Beast Carriage remained undetected, they whispered among themselves with worried expressions.

Although these women were called Wen Tianren’s personal maidservants, their status was essentially that of servant concubines, all favored by the heir of the six paths.

If anything happened to Wen Tianren, their dreadful fate upon returning would be unimaginable.

However, since Wen Tianren had ordered them not to follow when flying over with Zi Ling, these female servants, despite their unease, dared not rashly enter the island after some discussion.

Thus, time passed bit by bit.

From daytime into night, and from night slowly into early morning.
