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

"It should be about time," Chen Yang murmured to himself as he observed the array.

Sure enough, as soon as his voice trailed off, the crimson vortex that encompassed the entire array abruptly ceased in its rotation, then began to revolve in the opposite direction.

The blood that had flowed into Du Qingyang's body instantly began to flow back toward Han Li through the trough between them, and the viscous black substance beneath him immediately began to bubble and churn.

Han Li felt as if his own body were about to be set alight, and his skin instantly turned bright red, and the cracks all over his skin also began to glow red.

The blood that had originally only covered his lower body spread further upward, climbing up to his chest, then his neck, before ultimately encompassing his entire body to form a huge crimson cocoon.

The blood that was surging into his body also contained the starpower of Du Qingyang and the captains, and it was an enormous influx of starpower that was completely beyond what Han Li's body was able to handle without the assistance of immortal spiritual power.

A string of muffled roars rang out incessantly from within the crimson cocoon, and Han Li could feel bursts of power crashing through his body like untamed bulls, making his limbs, his meridians, and even his head feel extremely swollen, to the point that they were about to explode.

This sensation was no less tortuous than what he had experienced back in the Bone Rinsing Lightning Pond.

At this point, all he could do was protect his own consciousness with all his might so that he remained lucid and awake.

Even now, Du Qingyang still wasn't willing to give up.

He was waiting for the influx of starpower to become too much for Han Li, thereby causing his body to explode, at which point he would finally be able to claim Han Li's true spirit bloodlines.

Once that happened, he was going to personally ensure that Chen Yang suffered an even more terrible death than Li Feiyu.

At this point, Chen Yang and Daoist Xie had already retreated to the edge of the cave, and he was sweating profusely as he looked on with a tense expression.

He was also waiting for Han Li to self-detonate as the power from the explosion would undoubtedly kill the captains in the array on the spot.

As for Du Qingyang, perhaps he wouldn't die from the explosion, but he would definitely suffer severe injuries that would place him at Chen Yang's mercy.

However, both Han Li and Du Qingyang were displaying far more perseverance than he had hoped to see, and that was making him feel very uneasy.

He had gone all in on this plan, and he didn't even dare to consider the consequences of failure.

In contrast, Daoist Xie was looking on with a completely calm and placid expression, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

As the crimson cocoon continued to expand, so did Han Li's body, and at this point, he was looking like a bloated humanoid balloon that could explode at any moment.

However, right at this moment, a series of true spirit projections reappeared around him, but instead of attempting to flee the array, they fused into his body one after another.

At the same time, the blood in the bodies of the captains in the array also began to rapidly surge toward Han Li, and in no more than just a few moments, their bodies had become significantly shrunken and withered.

Du Qingyang finally gave up all hope upon seeing this. If he were to wait any longer, then the roles of aggressor and victim would be switched.

With that in mind, he let loose a thunderous roar, and several dozen more profound acupoints emerged over his body, with all of them appearing on his abdomen and arms.

He raised a fist, and starpower converged rapidly toward the end of his fist as he threw an almighty punch into the ground.

The Sinha Blood Array shuddered violently alongside the entire underground cave, but it was able to withstand the force of his punch.

Du Qingyang clearly wasn't surprised to see this. While constructing the array, he had considered the possibility of an attack during the ritual, so he had ensured that the array was extremely resilient, to the point that even he couldn't destroy it in a single blow.

Never did he think that his meticulous plan would work against himself.

The impact of Du Qingyang's punch launched him up into the air, and while in mid-air, he threw another punch to forcibly sever his own connection to the array.

Blood came spewing out of his mouth as his chest sank in significantly, but he was finally able to escape the array's control.

In the wake of his escape, the captains were forced to bear the array's full fury on their own, and they instantly exploded one after another amid a string of bloodcurdling howls.

Du Qingyang took a moment to steady himself, then turned to Chen Yang with a furious expression and charged straight at him, paying no heed to his own injuries.

"Chen Yang, it's time for you to pay with your life!"

A cold sneer appeared on Chen Yang's face as he scoffed, "You're nothing more than a spent force at this point."

Despite the mockery on his face, he didn't dare to take Du Qingyang lightly at all, even in his terrible condition, and his profound acupoints lit up as he lashed out with both fists.

All of a sudden, a long screech rang out from within the crimson cocoon, and all of the power contained within the entire Sinha Blood Array began to gush rapidly into Han Li's body.

At the same time, his body began to swell rapidly, giving him the appearance of a bulging ball of blood, and even more cracks had appeared over his skin.

However, aside from Daoist Xie, no one noticed the speck of faint green light that had appeared in Han Li's abdomen.

As the bursts of starpower surged into his body, the Heaven Controlling Vial instantly sprang into action, sucking in the starpower. As a result, only the bloodline power from Du Qingyang and the captains were still rampaging in his body.

Han Li was already on the verge of losing consciousness, but the strain on his body was significantly alleviated by the Heaven Controlling Vial, allowing him to cling onto consciousness.

He immediately channeled his Wingform Ascension Arts with his might, rapidly absorbing the rampant bloodline power and starpower within his body.

After being passed through the Heaven Controlling Vial, the starpower had become quite tame and easy to absorb. As for the bloodline power, most of it was actually Han Li's own true spirit bloodlines, so even though it was much more difficult to absorb than the starpower, it was still manageable.

As these two bursts of power began to integrate themselves into his body, his swollen body slowly began to contract.

At the same time, bursts of starpower began to surge toward his lower body, and all of a sudden, a profound acupoint was opened on his left leg with a dull thump.

This was immediately followed by another profound acupoint on his right leg, followed by two more profound acupoints on his legs.

All of a sudden, he had reached full mastery over the Wingform Ascension Arts, having opened all eighteen of the cultivation art's profound acupoints.

A hint of incredulity flashed through Daoist Xie's eyes upon seeing this.

Opening consecutive profound acupoints should've been fantastic news for Han Li, but in this particular situation, it was a very troublesome turn of events.

Now that he had reached full mastery of both the Wingform Ascension Arts and the Great Universe Origin Arts, there were no more profound acupoints left for him to open.

The remaining starpower and bloodline power was still running rampant in his body, and to further compound his woes, the two types of power in the Sinha Blood Array still hadn't completely run out, so there was still more and more surging into his body, and he didn't know if he could withstand such an enormous influx of energy.

On the other side of the hall, over a hundred and thirty profound acupoints had lit up over Chen Yang's body, but he was still well and truly on the back foot against Du Qingyang, and a series of large cracks had appeared on his suit of bone armor.

However, Du Qingyang certainly wasn't enjoying himself, either. His injuries were very severe, and he was having to forcibly suppress them. If he couldn't keep those injuries in check, then his condition could take a sharp and rapid turn for the worse, resulting in catastrophic consequences.

All of the profound acupoints on Du Qingyang's arm lit up, and he slammed a fist into Chen Yang's crossed arms, upon which a loud crack rang out.

Both of Chen Yang's arms were instantly snapped, and he was sent flying back through the air, tumbling over the ground like a ragdoll before slamming violently into the wall of the cave.

Upon falling to the ground, he couldn't help but throw up a large mouthful of blood.

Instead of charging in to press his advantage, Du Qingyang remained standing on the spot, internally suppressing his own injuries as he said in a cold voice, "I always felt like you had a rebellious bone in you, but I didn't think you would actually dare to betray me. You may have hid your true power this entire time, but that's not going to save you from your inevitable death."

"Whether I live or die isn't up to you anymore," Chen Yang sneered as he wiped the blood from his lips.
