A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

"He's here, City Lord Du," Chen Yang declared as he extended a respectful bow.

For this occasion, Du Qingyang had put on a brand new red robe, and he gave Chen Yang an authoritative nod.

Among the three captains, the bald man strode forward before shoving Han Li onto the stone platform, forcing him into an indentation at the center of the platform.

As soon as Han Li set foot into the indentation, he immediately felt a sticky sensation beneath his feet, and he looked down to discover some type of sticky black substance inside the indentation, looking much like black blood plasma that had accumulated over a long period of time.

Despite how sticky the substance was, it was only giving off a faint odor.

"Enter the array," Du Qingyang ordered with a serious expression.

Chen Yang and the captains instantly flew into the array, while Du Qingyang himself made his way onto the stone platform, then sat down with his legs crossed in another indentation across from Han Li.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he knew that he was in a very grim situation indeed.

"Begin," Du Qingyang ordered, and Chen Yang and the others also sat down with their legs crossed, then channeled the starpower in their bodies as they each pressed a hand against the B tier beast core in front of them.

A burst of faint buzzing rang out as the entire stone platform began to vibrate slightly, and all of the beast cores lit up in unison, releasing bursts of formidable energy fluctuations.

At the same time, wisps of starpower were surging out of the beast cores before flowing into the indentation that Han Li was situated in along the patterns on the stone platform.

With this injection of starpower, the viscous substance beneath Han Li suddenly began to bubble and churn before slowly climbing up his body until it had enveloped the entirety of his lower body beneath his waist.

Han Li gave a muffled groan as he felt a burst of heat surge through his body, as if his blood had been set alight in his veins, and he could feel his true spirit bloodline beginning to stir.

His heart beat began to accelerate, while his mouth became as parched as a desert, and he wanted to struggle and resist, but his body was impossibly heavy, as if it had been injected with lead.

A series of hazy true spirit projections began to surface over his body in an uncontrollable fashion, and a look of elation and greed appeared in Du Qingyang's eyes upon seeing this.

"I didn't think you would have so many true spirit bloodlines in your body! Looks like I made the right decision to wait for so long," Du Qingyang chuckled in an excited manner.

Han Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and he offered no response.

Right at this moment, his expression changed slightly, and he felt an empty sensation in his own body. He hurriedly looked down to find that there was a crimson trough on the stone platform that connected him to Du Qingyang.

At this moment, his blood was flowing toward the other side along the trough as if it were being sucked out of his body drop by drop.

As the blood flowed to Du Qingyang, it began to rise up around him, forming a spherical crimson light barrier that encompassed his entire body.

A low roar escaped his lips as he clenched his fists tightly by his sides, and his eyes gradually took on a crimson color.

All the while, the sense of emptiness and depletion in Han Li's body was only becoming more and more pronounced, and he could sense his own true spirit bloodlines being stripped out of his body bit by bit.

If things were to continue in this fashion, not only would he lose his true spirit bloodlines, even his life would be forfeit!

With that in mind, a decisive look appeared in his eyes, and his Heaven Controlling Vial tipped over on its own within his stomach, pouring the crimson liquid inside into his body.

In the blink of an eye, Han Li's skin turned bright red like the shell of a steamed crab, and wisps of pink mist began to rise up out of his body.

Du Qingyang was still immersed in the blissful sensation of absorbing Han Li's true spirit bloodlines, and he paid the discoloration of Han Li's skin no heed, merely chalking it down to a normal reaction that one would have as the victim of this array.

Before long, Han Li's skin began to crack open like a plot of parched land, but no blood was flowing out of the cracks on his skin.

At this moment, all of the other true spirit bloodlines in his body were in a relatively stable state, but his Xuanwu bloodline was surging through his veins.

This was something that had happened to him in the past, so he was able to tolerate this sensation, but even so, the outflow of blood didn't cease. Instead, due to the unrest in his Xuanwu bloodline, his blood was only flowing faster out of his body and into the trough.

However, as this blood began to flow into Du Qingyang's body, his eyes abruptly widened, and a a stunned look appeared on his face.

At the same time, the spherical crimson light barrier around him began to bubble and churn like a pot of boiling water.

Du Qingyang gave a muffled groan, and his blood began to churn in his own body far more violently than Han Li's blood in his. Even with his incredibly formidable physical constitution, he felt as if his body were about to be torn apart.

He let loose a loud roar as he joined his palms in front of his own chest, and all of his joints cracked and popped and over two hundred profound acupoints lit up over his body, while a layer of hazy white light also emerged over his skin.

Shrouded within this layer of white light, his frenzied blood seemed to have been temporarily suppressed.

Unaware of what Han Li had just done, Du Qingyang was merely under the impression that true spirit bloodlines were supposed to be this violent.

As time slowly passed by, the outflow of blood from Han Li's body only sped up further and further, and his complexion gradually began to pale, while a dazed look had appeared in his eyes.

Du Qingyang's teeth were tightly gritted, and a savage grin appeared on his face at the sight of Han Li's condition.

"To think that a mere human can harness so many true spirit bloodlines and make them all coexist in harmony. What a truly remarkable feat. I thought that forcing you to fight in the arena would tame some of the wild nature of your true spirit bloodlines, but they're still incredibly violent," Du Qingyang harrumphed through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Han Li felt as if his entire body had been sucked dry, and he was too feeble to respond.

He could only reflexively channel his Great Universe Origin Arts and Wingform Ascension Arts to try and arrest some of the starpower that was flowing out of his body alongside his blood, but the endeavor was one that was largely futile.

Right at this moment, a Giant Mountain Ape projection emerged over Du Qingyang's body, and it was thumping its own chest in a display of domination. At the same time, an Azure Luan Bird projection appeared before attempting to fly away with all its might. On the other side, a Lightning Bird projection appeared, and it also began to struggle vehemently.

All of the true spirit projections that had previously appeared around Han Li had now appeared outside Du Qingyang's body, but they were all in an extremely unstable and violent state.

Du Qingyang's eyes widened drastically as bursts of incredibly formidable tearing forces began to ravage his entire body, causing him to let loose an involuntary roar.

At the same time, cracks also began to appear over his skin, but these cracks were all bright red, and they were countless tiny gashes that had been torn into his skin.

Blood began to flow out of those gashes, instantly staining his robes.

Chen Yang and the captains were all at a temporary loss for what to do upon seeing this, but then Chen Yang suddenly yelled, "Don't just sit there, channel the array to help City Lord Du absorb the true spirit bloodlines!"

Everyone immediately sprang into action upon hearing this, injecting their starpower into the beast cores before them with all their might.

However, right at this moment, a sinister grin suddenly appeared on Chen Yang's face, and he raised a fist before slamming it into the beast core in front of him.

The beast core instantly exploded, sending white starpower erupting in all directions, while Chen Yang darted back in retreat.

This turn of events had unfolded so abruptly that no one was able to react in time, and in the next instant, the entire Sinha Blood Array was thrown into a state of imbalance, causing a burst of incredibly powerful tearing force to surge throughout it.

Everyone inside the array was rooted to the spot by this tearing force, rendering them unable to escape.

"What did you do, Chen Yang?" Du Qingyang roared in a furious voice.

"All I did was slightly alter your Sinha Blood Array, City Lord Du. As for what the effects of the alterations are, you'll just have to see for yourself," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

As soon as his voice trailed off, the crimson light barrier around Du Qingyang abruptly expanded to form a crimson vortex, which instantly encompassed the entire Sinha Blood Array and everyone within it.

The captains could see that things had gone awry, and they wanted to escape the array, but it was already too late.

Their hands were tightly glued to the beast cores in front of them, and their arms had turned bright red.

At the same time, their profound acupoints were lighting up one after another in an uncontrollable fashion, and their blood and starpower were being involuntarily sucked out of their bodies and into the crimson vortex.

Thanks to his superior cultivation base, Du Qingyang was still able to hold his own within the array, but the captains were all in a truly dire state.

At this moment, Du Qingyang's eyes were bright red, and there was blood flowing down from the corners of his eyes as he glowered at Chen Yang with a look of murderous rage.
