A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1388: Retribution

"He's trying to refine the Heaven Controlling Vial! We have to stop him!" Han Li yelled in an urgent manner.

"How? He's already mastered the laws of chaos and attained a near-indestructible body." the Devilish Monarch asked with tightly furrowed brows.

"I have one more trick that we can try. If it doesn't work, then I'll have nothing left," the Reincarnation Palace Master said after a brief silence, then disclosed his idea to Han Li and the Devilish Monarch through voice transmission.

"It's worth a try," the Devilish Monarch said after hearing what the Reincarnation Palace Master had to say, while Han Li was looking a little hesitant.

"You are the key to this plan, so banish your timidity. I'm sure you won't disappoint me," the Reincarnation Palace Master said with a smile.

A look of resolve appeared in Han Li's eyes upon hearing this, and he gave the Reincarnation Palace Master a firm nod. freёnovelkiss.com

With a consensus reached, a carefree smile appeared on the Reincarnation Palace Master's face as he began flying toward Gu Huojin.

"Gu Huojin, you were belittling me earlier for not knowing what it's like to be a Dao Ancestor. Let me see if the scenery up there really is as depressing as you claim it to be," the Reincarnation Palace Master said as he drew to a halt several hundred thousand kilometers away from Gu Huojin.

"It's already too late. Both of your companions made breakthroughs to become Dao Ancestors during the course of this battle, yet they're still powerless against me. What makes you think you'll be any different?" Gu Huojin sneered.

The Reincarnation Palace Master offered no response as the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate behind him began to revolve at his behest, and a series of reincarnation runes flew out of it before descending upon him.

As more and more of these reincarnation runes fell upon him, the dark red light emanating from his body grew brighter and brighter, illuminating his emaciated figure to give him the appearance of deity of death.

At the same time, reincarnation law threads began to surge out of his body to connect him to the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, and six pillars of dark red light immediately erupted out of the reincarnation plate before flowing into his body in reciprocation.

The Reincarnation Palace Master let loose a thunderous roar, and the dark red light around him began to dance like flames, giving off formidable reincarnation law power fluctuations.

Gu Huojin thrust his palms forward upon seeing this, and a chaotic vortex instantly took shape before hurtling toward the Reincarnation Palace Master at an incredible speed.

In response, the Reincarnation Palace Master also thrust his palms forward to release a pillar of dark red light that clashed against the chaotic vortex, and the two were evenly matched as both drew to a halt in mid-air.

Right at this moment, the Devilish Monarch also sprang into action, arriving behind Gu Huojin in the blink of an eye before bringing his palms together, and all of the space within a radius of dozens of kilometers was compressed toward the center.

The compressed space began to creak and groan as it took on a glass-like appearance, and Gu Huojin was immobilized within it.

"Even with the combined might of the three paramount laws, you still can't touch me!" Gu Huojin chortled.

Rays of chaotic light began to surface over his body as he prepared to transform into a chaotic vortex once again to absorb the attacks directed at him, but the Devilish Monarch had other plans.

Bursts of spatial law power fluctuations surged out of his body as an inky black vortex began to take shape behind him, and it began to close in on the pair of wings on his back.

However, he paid no heed to this as he continued to maintain his law power output with all his might.

Meanwhile, the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate behind the Reincarnation Palace Master was revolving faster and faster while also shrinking incessantly in the process, and at the same time, his aura was rapidly elevating.

In the blink of an eye, he fulfilled his destiny, taking the final step on his cultivation journey to become the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor.

Bursts of reincarnation law powers converged from all directions before funneling into the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate, which was revolving at an astonishing speed, having already transformed into a blurry ball of dark red light.

\At the same time, Han Li sprang up into the air as he channeled his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and his true spirit bloodlines with all his might, instantly transforming into a massive devilish deity with twelve true spirit heads and thirty-six arms.

Each arm was wielding an Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, which were being swung rapidly through the air to create bursts of swirling power that came together to form a gargantuan, golden tornado.

His five time law treasures were all revolving around the tornado connected to one another by arcs of golden lightning.

Within the golden tornado was an Almighty Sword Array formed by Han Li's other thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, giving off a terrifying aura.

A hint of wariness surfaced in Gu Huojin's eyes upon seeing this, and he forcibly tore apart the spatial restraints imposed upon him by the Devilish Monarch, following which a beam of chaotic light erupted out of his chest to bolster the chaotic vortex up ahead.

Thanks to this influx of power, the chaotic vortex was able to gain the upper hand over the pillar of reincarnation light released by the Reincarnation Palace Master.

In response, the Reincarnation Palace Master let loose a loud roar, and the ever-shrinking Six Paths Reincarnation Plate behind him completely disintegrated into a ball of pure, dark red energy that flowed into his body, instantly replenishing him to rejuvenate his sunken cheeks and emaciated body.

All of a sudden, his powers were elevated to transcend beyond their former peak, and it was as if he were an almighty deity with full control over the cycle of life and death.

"Gu Huojin, you cannot transcend beyond reincarnation, nor will you ever be able to return to the cycle of reincarnation!" the Reincarnation Palace Master condemned with all his might as his body began to rapidly wither away once again.

This time, he went even further beyond his limits, sacrificing himself altogether as his body disintegrated into a ball of pure reincarnation power, just as the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate had done earlier, then tore its way through the chaotic vortex before plunging straight into Gu Huojin's body.

All of this had taken place in a split second, and there was no time for Gu Huojin to react.

All of a sudden, it was as if the cycle of reincarnation had fallen stagnant for a moment, and all over the living beings under the heavens, regardless of whether they were fleeing for their lives, resigned to their fate, or completely oblivious to the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, every single one of them was momentarily dazed.

It was as if their souls had left their bodies, but this feeling only lasted for a fleeing instant before the cycle of reincarnation returned to normal, and everyone's souls returned to their bodies, with the exception of a single person.

Gu Huojin's soul was still drifting out of his chaotic body.

In this instant, he finally realized what the Reincarnation Palace Master's plan had been, and a horrified look appeared on his face as he frantically tugged on the space before him, trying to return to his body, but a burst of golden light had gotten there before him.

Han Li's five time law treasures had already fused into the golden tornado, transforming it into a giant sword that came crashing down from the heavens with indescribable might.

Immense waves of time law powers came sweeping out of the golden sword, causing everything to fall still in a stationary snapshot in time.

Only the almighty sword that was imbued with the power of Han Li's Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts, Great Five Elemental Annihilation Fist, and Almighty Sword Array continued to crash down from above before striking Gu Huojin's soulless body.

A gargantuan rift silently tore its way through the entirety of the Middle Earth Immortal Region, and the expression on the face of Gu Huojin's soul instantly stiffened before it disintegrated, following which his chaotic body also began to dissipate bit by bit.

It was as if the entire world had been robbed of all color and sound, and only after close to a full minute had passed did a ball of dark green light suddenly fly out of Gu Huojin's chaotic body to hover in mid-air.

Immediately thereafter, a string of deafening booms rang out as the almighty golden sword that had claimed Gu Huojin's life finally faded away, and Han Li was revealed, having already reverted back to his human form.

His complexion was deathly pale, and blood was trickling out of all of his orifices, while plumes of black smoke were rising up from his left shoulder.

By the time the black smoke cleared, it was revealed that his entire left arm had already been claimed by the Heavenly Dao.

He raised his only remaining right arm to wipe the blood from his face as his body trembled uncontrollably.

A door of silver light appeared beside him, and Nangong Wan flew out from within. She was immediately dumbstruck by the scenes of unfathomable destruction around her, following which she snapped back to her senses and hurriedly latched onto Han Li's arm to support him.

"Gu Huojin is dead," Han Li declared in an expressionless manner, seemingly feeling no joy at the monumental feat that he had just accomplished.
