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

Even though Liu Qing's spirit domain had been destroyed, he remained completely unfazed. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face as he remarked, "Flames of Illusory Reality, eh? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you've managed to cultivate this spirit flame capable of eradicating all illusion."

Liu Tianhao was rather taken aback by Liu Qing's calm reaction, and before he had a chance to do anything, a long saber that was emanating an eerie, crimson glow suddenly came protruding out of his lower abdomen, having pierced through his dantian from behind.

At the same time, a pair of glowing, white hands appeared in front of him before imprinting themselves against his chest.

As it turned out, two figures had appeared in front of and behind him in a wraith-like manner, executing a perfectly coordinated sneak attack.

His two assailants were none other than the two men that had been standing beside Liu Qing, and blood came spewing out of Liu Tianhao's mouth as his aura began to rapidly wane.

The taller of the two men, the one wielding the crimson saber, yelled, "Liu Tianhao, this is what you get for colluding with those Gray Realm scoundrels to plot against our master!"

At the same time, his physical appearance rapidly changed, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into none other than Liu Zizai.

The crimson saber in his hand was giving off incredibly formidable baleful qi, and it was none other than the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber.

Meanwhile, the shorter of the two men drifted back in retreat, but his palm imprints remained on Liu Tianhao's chest, as if they had become a permanent fixture on his body.

Bursts of warped, white light surged into Liu Tianhao's body incessantly from the pair of palm imprints, tearing his internal organs apart incessantly.

Liu Tianhao's entire body was trembling violently, while blood continued to gush out of his nose and mouth.

"I'm not proud of resorting to a sneak attack, but you've shown yourself to be an extremely underhanded and despicable character, and your powers currently far surpass ours, so we've had no choice but to stoop to these lows," the short man said with a serious expression.

His physical appearance also rapidly transformed as he spoke, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a white-robed man who was also identical to Liu Zizai and Liu Tianhao in appearance, but his aura and disposition were far more righteous and benevolent than that of the latter.

Despite his grievous injuries, Liu Tianhao remained as calm as ever, remarking with a faint smile, "Looks like we've all returned to the Heavenly Fox Tribe, Liu Zizai, Liu Tianhao. I suppose you two are the only ones capable of getting so close to me without my detection."

Liu Qing, Liu Zizai, and Liu Haoran's expressions changed slightly upon seeing this.

They were certain that the person standing before them was indeed Liu Tianhao in the flesh. His aura and law power fluctuations were completely indistinguishable from those of the original, so this was definitely not an illusion or a clone.

The three of them had all achieved unrivaled mastery over the laws of illusions, so they could also be certain that they hadn't fallen under any illusions themselves.

Liu Zizai let loose a loud roar as he gave the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber a forceful twist, and Liu Tianhao's body instantly exploded into countless pieces of mangled flesh.

However, not only was he not relieved to see this, he was only looking more apprehensive than before.

In the next instant, his expression changed drastically as a burst of crimson light erupted out of the Heavenly Fox Bloodform Saber, forming a crimson saber barrier around him.

However, the saber barrier had only just taken shape when it was destroyed in brutal fashion, and Liu Zizai was sent flying back through the air as if he had been struck by some forceful object.

Liu Haoran's expression also changed slightly as a layer of white light surfaced over his eyes, and his hands also began to glow with radiant, white light as he thrust his palms forward.

Another resounding boom rang out as Liu Haoran was also sent flying back through the air like a drifting leaf in a gust of fierce wind.

An alarmed look appeared on Liu Qing's face upon seeing this, and he hurriedly conjured up his gray spirit domain, which encompassed an area with a radius of several hundred feet around him.

All of the Heavenly Fox beings behind him immediately released their spirit domains as well, protecting themselves and the Nine Tailed Immortal Fox true spirit bloodline projection.

Meanwhile, Fox 3, Elder Mu, and the dark-skinned elderly man had also summoned their spirit domains and an array of immortal treasures to protect Liu Le'er.

Han Li wasn't as tense as the Heavenly Fox beings, and he activated his Infernal Devilish Eyes as he scoured his surroundings while also releasing his spiritual sense, trying to find exactly what it was that had sent Liu Zizai and Liu Haoran flying, but he was unable to find anything.

A slight disturbance had also arisen in the other tribes upon seeing this, while a look of slight bewilderment had appeared on Bai Ze's face.

Lekima had originally been standing with Han Li, but after Han Li stepped in to help Liu Le'er, Lekma had made his way over to Bai Ze's side.

Upon catching sight of the change in Bai Ze's expression, he asked in a quiet voice, "What do you see, Father?"

Bai Ze shook his head and offered no response.

......

Liu Qing was in a state of high alert, but the anticipated attack never came.

Instead, an illusory figure slowly appeared before him as the space up ahead rippled and warped, and the scraps of Liu Tianhao's body turned semi-transparent before slowly vanishing into thin air.

In the instant that the final remnant of his body faded away, the illusory figure took on a substantial form, and it was none other than Liu Tianhao, standing completely unscathed.

"He's mastered the Illusory Dreamscape!" Liu Qing exclaimed with a stunned expression, and all of the other Heavenly Fox beings were also astonished to hear this.

"Do you know what this Illusory Dreamscape is, Le'er?" Han Li asked.

"The Illusory Dreamscape is a legendary ability of our Heavenly Fox Tribe that was invented by the Nine Tailed Immortal Fox himself. Aside from the Nine Tailed Immortal Fox, the only one to have successfully mastered this ability in the history of our tribe is Patriarch Liu Qi. It's said that this ability can transform all injuries sustained by the user into illusions, thereby granting them invincibility," Liu Le'er explained, and a stunned look also appeared on Han Li's face upon hearing this.

Even though Liu Zizai and Liu Haoran had been sent flying, neither of them had sustained any major injuries, and after steadying themselves, they immediately prepared to retaliate, only to stop cold in their tracks upon hearing what Liu Qing had just said.

"How were you able to cultivate Master's ability?" Liu Zizai exclaimed with a stunned expression.

"His body is mine, so why is it so inconceivable to you that I was able to master his abilities? You two complacent fools will never be able to imagine just how beneficial his body is to my cultivation!" Liu Tianhao sneered with a triumphant expression.

Both Liu Zizai and Liu Haoran were furious to hear this, and the two of them both began glowing radiantly at the same time, while a layer of dark green fur appeared over their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had taken on half-human, half-beast forms, and their robes were flapping audibly from the tremendous auras surging out of their bodies as they prepared to clash again.

Right at this moment, Bai Ze stepped into the fray and yelled in an authoritative voice, "That's enough! We are in the Asura Blood Gate right now, and it cannot withstand too much impact. If you want to resolve your differences, then wait until after you leave this place!"

The four Heavenly Fox beings hurriedly stood down upon hearing this, but Liu Qing's trio was still glowering at Liu Tianhao with intense animosity in their eyes.

At this point, Han Li had developed a decent understanding of the situation, and he asked through voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist Liu, could it be that Liu Tianhao is a corpse soul of Patriarch Liu Qi's?"

"That's right, Liu Tianhao is Patriarch Liu Qi's wicked corpse soul, and you've actually met him before," Fox 3 replied.

"I have?" Han Li asked with a surprised expression.

He had indeed been struck by a sense of familiarity upon first catching sight of Liu Tianhao.

"Back at the Baleful Cleansing Pond," Fox 3 reminded.

Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this, following which a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"You're saying that giant fox that we encountered at the time was actually Liu Tianhao instead of Patriarch Liu Qi?"

"That's right. I was swindled by him and even helped him escape his entrapment. What a fool I was!" Fox 3 replied with a look of intense self-resentment.

"What exactly has Liu Tianhao done to warrant such resentment from your Heavenly Fox Tribe? Also, has Patriarch Liu Qi already perished?" Han Li asked through voice transmission.

"According to my knowledge, Patriarch Liu Qi has indeed already perished, and his downfall was brought about by Liu Tianhao in collusion with beings from the Gray Realm," Fox 3 replied as he glowered at Liu Tianhao with a hateful expression.

An enlightened look appeared on Han Li's face upon hearing this.

However, what he couldn't understand was why Liu Zizai and Liu Haoran, who were most likely Patriarch Liu Qi's self corpse soul and kind corpse soul, respectively, were also so resentful of Liu Tianhao. Could it be because Liu Tianhao had killed Liu Qi?

He had thought that corpse souls were supposed to have been in opposition to the host, but it seemed like Liu Zizai and Liu Haoran were quite loyal to Liu Qi.

Right at this moment, the Heaven Controlling Vial Spirit's voice suddenly rang out in Han Li's heart.

"The relationship between a host and their three corpse souls is not as simple as you think. All corpse souls have the innate urge to kill their host and seize their body, but they're also living beings that can be tamed. Given his mastery over the laws of illusions, Liu Qi excelled in manipulating the hearts and minds of others, so taming a pair of corpse souls would not have been a difficult task for him."

Han Li's eyes immediately lit up slightly upon hearing this.

"Senior Vial Spirit! You're finally awake!"

"How did you get swept up in something so dangerous again? If that Dao Ancestor attacks you at such close proximity, even transmigration may not be able to save you in time," the vial spirit harrumphed.

"I didn't anticipate that I would end up in a situation like this, but given that we're already here, I can only ask you to prepare a transmigration at any moment," Han LI sighed.

"As long as you have enough time law threads, I can transmigrate you however many times you please. Oh? It seems like not only have you recovered all of the time law threads that you expended, you've gained many new ones. No wonder you have so much confidence," the vial spirit remarked in a surprised voice.
