A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1298: Bone Emperor

"Xue Li, stop!" Gui Wu yelled, but it was already too late.

A crimson ax projection that was tens of thousands of feet in length came crashing down from the heavens with almighty power, slicing open numerous giant spatial rifts as it descended upon Han Li.

Han Li remained completely unfazed, and he didn't even bother to spare a glance at Xue Li as he casually swept a sleeve through the air, conjuring a shimmering, golden palm projection to oppose the ax projection.

His gaze had been focused on the white skeleton this entire time as its aura was the only one that he was unable to glean out of the group of figures standing atop the giant turtle.

The palm projection was no more than ten feet in size, and it was made to appear utterly diminutive in the face of the mountainous ax projection.

However, the ax projection instantly shattered violently upon contact, while the palm projection remained unscathed and continued to ascend into the heavens, quickly vanishing into the distant sky as a speck of golden light.

An astonished look appeared in Xue Li's eyes as he stared after the golden palm projection that was racing away into the distance.

The white skeleton also took a glance in the same direction, then directed its gaze toward Han Li.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Xue Li? Can't you see that the Infernal King and I are on this boat?" Gui Wu yelled in a furious manner.

"Gui Wu, is that you? I thought you were dead!" Xue Li exclaimed.

Gui Wu paid no heed to him as he cupped his fist in a respectful salute, then extended a deep bow toward the white skeleton from afar.

"Junior Gui Wu pays his respects to Senior Bone Emperor."

Bone Emperor nodded in response, then asked, "What are you doing with these cultivators from the True Immortal Realm?"

His voice had an ethereal quality to it, like countless voices layered on top of one another, making it impossible to tell where it was coming from.

"We are here to hunt down the Reincarnation King," Gui Wu hurriedly replied. "I presume that you must be here for the same purpose, Senior Bone Emperor. If that's the case, then please allow us to join you."

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. He had never agreed to go after the Reincarnation King with Gui Wu. Instead, he had only come here for the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate.

However, he didn't dare to raise any objections in the presence of this Bone Emperor, seeing as he was clearly someone that was very much feared and respected even by Gui Wu and Xue Li.

"In that case, I'm willing to set our past differences aside," Xue Li said. "What do you think, Senior Bone Emperor?"

"It makes no difference to me," Bone Emperor replied in a nonchalant manner.

Clearly, Han Li and the others were nothing in his eyes.

"I don't recall this being in the terms of our agreement, Fellow Daoist Gui Wu," Han Li said in a cold voice through voice transmission.

"Think about it this way, Fellow Daoist Han. The Six Paths Reincarnation Plate is in the possession of the Reincarnation King, so if we want to claim it for ourselves, then a battle against him is entirely unavoidable. I guarantee you that you'll be able to use the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate as long as we can defeat the Reincarnation King," Gui Wu urged.

Han Li weighed up his options for a moment, and he ultimately decided that he still wanted no part in this.

He had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts of the underworld, particularly when he knew next to nothing about the people that he was going to be working with.

However, before he had a chance to respond, Gui Wu continued, "Senior Bone Emperor is a true Dao Ancestor, and he won't hesitate to kill anyone that he doesn't like the look of, so do not go against him. I'm making this proposal for your own safety. In a way, this is a positive development. With Senior Bone Emperor on our side, the Reincarnation King won't pose any threat to us!"

"I think it's best to avoid a conflict here, Master," Weeping Soul chimed in through voice transmission.

After a brief silence, Han Li finally nodded in agreement, and Gui Wu was ecstatic to see this.

With that, they stowed the bamboo boat away, then flew onto the giant turtle's back to travel to the center of the lake with Xue Li and the others.

Before long, the group arrived near the island at the center of the lake, but they were stopped in their tracks by the wall of crimson clouds around the island.

"Allow me, Master Bone Emperor," a dark-skinned man said as he stepped forward from behind Bone Emperor.

Outside of Xue Li, the other six members of Bone Emperor's entourage were all also at the Great Encompassment Stage, with the dark-skinned man possessing the loftiest cultivation base at the pinnacle of the mid-Great Encompassment Stage.

Among the remaining five cultivators, there was a wraith-like black-robed figure who was also at the mid-Great Encompassment Stage, while the rest were all at the early-Great Encompassment Stage.

Bone Emperor raised no objections, so the dark-skinned man brought his hands together in front of himself to form a profound seal.

A giant, black projection with two heads and four arms emerged behind the man, and it quickly took on a substantial form, transforming into a massive ghostly entity clad in a suit of black armor.

Its armor was riddled with complex patterns and encompassed the entity's entire body. Even its two heads were obscured, so it's true appearance was concealed, but it was giving off a tremendous aura that was even more powerful than that of the dark-skinned man himself.

The ghostly entity threw its head to the heavens and let loose a thunderous roar, upon which a storm of black light erupted out of its body to force back the nearby gusts of Six Paths Gale winds.

Violet Spirit was almost blown away by the storm, but she was steadied by Han Li's firm hand.

"Thank you, Brother Han," she said, and Han Li waved a hand in response before giving a slight shake of his head at the sight of the attack unleashed by the ghostly entity.

Sure enough, the storm of black light was only able to raise some faint ripples over the wall of crimson clouds, but aside from that, the wall remained completely unmoved.

A stunned look appeared on the dark-skinned man's face upon seeing this, and right at this moment, around a dozen thick bolts of crimson lightning shot out of the wall of clouds without any warning.

The bolts of lightning pierced through the armorclad ghostly entity's armor and body with ease, and it let loose an agonized wail before disintegrating into a cloud of black smoke.

The dark-skinned man shuddered violently, and he stumbled back close to twenty steps before falling to one knee and throwing up a mouthful of blood.

"Useless!" Bone Emperor harrumphed coldly, and the dark-skinned man hurriedly began kowtowing for mercy.

At the same time, he was kicking himself for his failed attempt at currying favor with his master.

"This is a barrier formed by Six Paths Gale winds manipulated by the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, so you never had any chance against it," Bone Emperor harrumphed coldly, then raised a hand before making a grabbing motion.

A gargantuan, bone claw appeared out of thin air, then grabbed down onto the wall of clouds, and where the dark-skinned man had failed catastrophically, Bone Emperor succeeded with ease, tearing a huge hole into the wall as if it were nothing more than a papier-mache structure.

"Your power is truly unmatched, Senior Bone Emperor!" Xue Li praised.

"The Reincarnation King's luck has finally run out!" Gui Wu chortled with glee.

He was well aware of the Reincarnation King's power, so he had been a little concerned, but hsi concerns had been completely put to rest by this display of power from Bone Emperor.

At the same time, Han Li was also looking at Bone Emperor with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

He had witnessed Dao Ancestors in action on several past occasions, but on all of those occasions, he possessed nowhere near the cultivation base required to truly comprehend the might of Dao Ancestors, and only now was he truly able to understand what he was witnessing.

Bone Emperor was able to call upon the power of the Great Dao of heaven and earth with every single one of his movements, and this almighty power was truly not something that a Great Encompassment cultivator could hope to oppose.

A pleased look flashed through Bone Emperor's eyes upon hearing Xue Li and Gui Wu's praise, and the giant turtle flew into the hole in the wall of crimson clouds at his behest.

"Who goes there?"

The guards on the island immediately gathered to oppose Bone Emperor and his entourage, and at the same time, the alarm had been raised to gather all of the other guards elsewhere on the island.

"Leave them to me," Xue Li roared as he lashed out with his giant ax, and dozens of ghostly guards were instantly sliced into two, while the seven ghostly cultivators behind Bone Emperor also sprang into action.

Han Li and Weeping Soul couldn't just stand by and watch, so they entered the fray as well.

All of the ghostly guards on the island were very powerful, and even though there were no Great Encompassment cultivators among them, there was certainly no lack of High Zenith cultivators. Furthermore, they were present in huge numbers, so even though Han Li and the others had gained a firm upper hand, they were unable to immediately overwhelm their adversaries.

"Get back!" Bone Emperor snapped in a disgruntled manner, and a burst of white light erupted out of his body, instantly sweeping over the entire island.

The bodies of the ghostly guards on the island that came into contact with the white light were instantly torn open as their skeletons emerged from within on their own before exploding violently.

Explosions rang out incessantly over the entire island as appendages were sent flying in all directions, presenting an extremely gruesome sight to behold.

Almost all of the guards on the island were instantly eradicated, with only a small number of them near the gray palace surviving the ordeal.

At this moment, the entire stone palace was encompassed within a hemispherical, dark red light barrier.

The two statuesque ghostly generals standing at the entrance of the stone palace finally began to move, commanding the remaining ghostly guards to defend the entrance while sending people inside to report the intrusion.
