Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 707 - 701: Never Die, Calamity Begets Rebirth_1

Chapter 707: Chapter 701: Never Die, Calamity Begets Rebirth_1

The Heavenly Decree absorbed nature’s spiritual energy at an extremely fast rate, yet it was far surpassed by the 104 Dusk Treasured Lights.

Its reach only expanded to 60,000 li and could advance no further.

Some fellow had already drained the nearby nature’s spiritual energy, leaving the Heavenly Decree with nothing to absorb. It was a classic case of taking another’s road and leaving them no way forward.

Once nature’s spiritual energy was absorbed into the Heavenly Decree calamity clouds, its nature underwent a drastic transformation.

The Dusk Treasured Light could also absorb the power of the Heavenly Decree’s thunder, but the conversion was extremely slow.

It was akin to battling Cultivators at the Mahayana Realm and above. High-Order Cultivators have condensed Spiritual Power and their own will, making the Dusk Treasured Light unable to affect them in the short term.

It required more time to consume the energy before it could convert the force of the Heavenly Decree back into nature’s spiritual energy.

However, merely preventing the expansion of the force of the Heavenly Decree was already satisfying.

If the Heavenly Decree continued to expand, Jia Ren didn’t have full confidence that he could resolve it.

Even if he could win, it would come at a cost.

Strike after strike of black lightning made the Breath of Stars Barrier tremble continuously, and the stockpiled Star Force, accumulated over thousands of years, was greatly depleted after several lightning strikes.

It couldn’t hold on much longer.

The Lingbao Sect Cultivators sent Spiritual Treasures into the Formation. Empowered by these treasures, the silver light on the Breath of Stars Barrier solidified, enabling it to endure longer.

The Heavenly Decree calamity clouds sensed someone’s intervention and became uncontrollably furious. They intended to reduce the Lingbao Sect to ruins, obliterating all who interfered with the Heavenly Decree.

Black lightning continuously fell. Its power, instead of increasing, began to decrease. The Heavenly Decree calamity clouds finally realized the presence of a thief stealing nature’s spiritual energy.

The black clouds surged, targeting Jia Ren.

Compared to the Lingbao Sect Cultivators, the one destroying its foundation was even more despicable!

Pure black lightning that swallowed all light descended, unleashing a surge of pure destructive power.

Although not directly confronting the Heavenly Decree, influencing its expansion was also deemed an equal crime, and all involved would be executed.

Jia Ren felt as if the heavens and earth were locking onto him. No matter where he fled, even if he left the Mysterious Realm, the Heavenly Decree would pursue and kill him.

It would exhaust all its power just to turn its target to ashes. This was the Heavenly Decree—a force of destruction from which no one had ever returned alive.

Jia Ren’s long-suppressed power finally erupted like mountains collapsing and tsunamis sweeping across the land.

He vanished from his spot, and in his place appeared a terrifying Azure Peng, not much smaller than the calamity clouds themselves.

Its wings spanned 30,000 li when unfolded, its blood energy rising like signal smoke, shaking the very sky.

Large expanses of space crumbled, as if they couldn’t withstand such a powerful presence.

I must be the first in the Mysterious Realm to endure the Heavenly Decree, right?

Jia Ren wasn’t sure if anyone in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds had faced the Heavenly Decree, but it was highly likely he was the first in the Mysterious Realm.

Daring not to be the slightest bit negligent, the moment the black lightning fell, he transformed from his Peng Bird Form to his Kun State.

A layer of dark green tortoise patterns surfaced on his body, solidifying into a thick shell.

The strongest forms—the Kun State and the Black Tortoise Form!

Both were Divine Beast forms adept at defense, possessing innate abilities to absorb and reduce damage.

With their effects stacked, the falling black lightning only left a scorched mark on the shell—a mere superficial wound.

The might of the Heavenly Decree was still at the level of an intensified Ninefold Celestial Tribulation, but Jia Ren’s strength had since improved. He was more than capable of facing this Heavenly Decree.

Relentless black lightning descended like rain, continuous and unending, seemingly driven to obliterate everything in its path.

The surrounding space had long crumbled, dragged into the Void.

The Heavenly Decree calamity clouds were unaffected by the Void. Like an abyssal maw wide open, they still sought to gather more power and expand.

The Void Force, which obliterated spiritual energy, couldn’t influence it in the slightest. This meant hiding in the Void offered no escape from the Heavenly Decree!

Ordinary heavenly tribulations had limits, but the Heavenly Decree had none; it would continue until its target was destroyed. The target would not die, the Heavenly Decree would not stop!

However, this capability of infinite ’bullets’ had already been blocked by Jia Ren.

With no nature’s spiritual energy in the vicinity, no matter how formidable the Heavenly Decree might be, it couldn’t conjure nature’s spiritual energy out of nowhere to grow infinitely.

With the relentless assault, the black calamity clouds, rather than expanding, began to diminish slowly.

Jia Ren, in his Kun-Turtle Form, was covered with scorched marks—every single one a superficial wound, not affecting his core.

The Heavenly Decree, realizing the futility of its assault, stopped sending down black lightning. This did not mean the Heavenly Decree was concluded.

The black clouds shrank at an alarming rate. Above them, a bloody hue emerged; black and red lightning, far more terrifying than before, flickered within the clouds.

Once again, he sensed intense danger.

The black and red lightning was definitely out of the ordinary!

Without giving him time to react, a thick strand of black and red lightning abruptly struck down.

Pain!

Although it didn’t tear through the defense formed by the Black Tortoise Form and the Kunpeng Form, the black and red lightning seemed to ignore all defenses, forcibly invading his body.

Spiritual Power was completely unable to resist it.

Only by summoning his blood energy to battle did he manage to stabilize the situation and barely contend with it.

This power’s level was definitely beyond the Mahayana Realm. The Heavenly Decree had adjusted specifically, transforming into a force aimed at him.

The emergence of this black and red lightning made Jia Ren aware of the danger. A prolonged defense would inevitably fail, making it difficult to endure until the last of the Heavenly Decree’s force was worn down.

Moreover, as the battle went on, a summoning force began to emerge from the void, a powerful world wanting to pull him into its realm.

This force grew stronger as time passed.

He, like the Old Kunpeng, couldn’t fight for long; otherwise, he might undergo Ascension to the Immortal Realm in the midst of battle.

It was imperative to fight swiftly and decisively!

Jia Ren didn’t want to take a beating passively, so he took the initiative to strike.

"Heaven and Earth One Slash!"

The Kun-Turtle Form disappeared as Jia Ren transformed in a flash into a Golden Peng Bird form with a wingspan of a thousand li.

In terms of compatibility with the Heaven and Earth One Slash, the Golden Peng Bird form was definitely number one, unleashing even more terrifying destructive power.

He brought his wings together as a blade and swung harshly, the power within his body spilling out with the wing-edge, condensing into a substantial golden slash mark.

The golden light rose from below, forming a dividing line between heaven and earth.

Facing unfair destiny and the ubiquitous pressure of the world, the golden blade let out a defiant roar, exhausting all its strength just to split this world apart.

The golden light shattered the dark clouds, and the Blade Intent roared into them. The Heavenly Decree clouds completely dispersed, breaking down into nature’s spiritual energy.

Jia Ren didn’t give the Heavenly Decree a chance to make a comeback. The eight paths of Dusk Treasured Light continued to engulf the nature’s spiritual energy.

In the core of the black-red clouds, a figure clad in red watched Jia Ren with an icy gaze. This was a figure in an emperor’s robe.

It wasn’t truly tangible, seeming more like a manifestation of the will and power acting on Heaven’s behalf.

The figure in the blood-colored imperial robe stared at Jia Ren, then extended its right index finger, pointing distantly. Once this attack was launched, the figure itself vanished.

A blood spear appeared out of nowhere within the Divine Sea, aiming at the Great Sun Fiery Wheel that had shone upon this place for thousands of years.

Rings of red light radiated, turning into flames and burning the blood spear, reducing its power. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This power was beyond imagination, and the Divine Illumination Sun Wheel couldn’t destroy it quickly.

"Fire, come!"

The Great Sun Fiery Wheel quickly took on a hint of golden-red as the flames, now Golden Crow Flame, blazed.

The Golden Crow Flame had replaced the Phoenix Flame, becoming the most fitting power for the Divine Illumination Sun Wheel.

The Divine Illumination Sun Wheel seemed like a real scorching sun, burning the heavens and boiling the seas, incinerating the skies.

The outer layer of the blood spear ignited, showing signs of melting.

Despite this, the spear maintained its speed, falling straight toward the Divine Illumination Sun Wheel.

This was the core power of the Heavenly Decree; it was unclear what kind of secret force it held. Jia Ren didn’t dare to test it with his Divine Soul and braced for this attack.

The Divine Illumination Sun Wheel transformed in a flash, turning into a dark and profound black hole, like the abyssal maw of the Kunpeng, devouring everything.

The blood spear plunged into the black hole and vanished.

Without its source of power, the Heavenly Decree clouds struggled vainly to absorb energy. However, they couldn’t draw on the slightest bit of nature’s spiritual energy and eventually dissipated.

The unbearable pressure above the heads of the Lingbao Sect Cultivators disappeared, and the bright sunshine was visible once again.

Was it over?!

Most Lingbao Sect Cultivators had dumbfounded expressions, as the fight had happened too quickly, like a falcon’s swift hunting dive.

They didn’t know what means the Grand Elder had used to resolve the legendary Heavenly Decree.

Only the Mahayana Stage Cultivators barely managed to follow the battle, their faces filled with shock.

The Grand Elder displayed combat power far beyond the Mahayana Stage, truly worthy of being called a living True Immortal.

He had resolved the legendary Heavenly Decree, which represented destruction and which no one could transcend, becoming a living legend!

The Lingbao Sect Cultivators were elated, unable to hide their joy.

Without the destructive power of the Heavenly Decree, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was still on the verge of metamorphosis.

Jia Ren stood in place, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Only he knew that the Heavenly Decree was not over yet.

The battle in the Divine Sea hadn’t ended; his Divine Soul maintained the dark black hole state, constantly wearing down the blood spear’s power.

The blood spear did not last long, bursting into large wisps of blood-red mist that rapidly flowed into the black hole.

The black hole seemed to be tainted, turning a black-red color, emitting a strange aura.

Jia Ren did not want to be contaminated by this mysterious power in the slightest.

His Divine Soul transformed from a black hole into the God-Striking Whip, delivering a heavy blow onto the red mist.

The red mist was a special Divine Soul attack, also within the range that the God-Striking Whip targeted.

With a single lash, the red mist was forcibly expelled from the Divine Sea.

The red mist congealed into the figure in a crimson imperial robe. With its appearance, the dissipating Heavenly Decree clouds reconvened, as if repeating the Heavenly Decree.

However, there was no nature’s spiritual energy in the surroundings; the effort was merely futile.

Jia Ren’s palm emanated dark gold, pure white, and five-colored flames. As the gourd at his waist erupted with suction force, they were absorbed within it.

The flames flew out from the Mixed Spirit Gourd, already turned gray.

It resembled the aftermath of fusing Phoenix Flame and Southern Ming Separation Fire—an iridescent gray.

Gray flames emerged, landing upon the figure within the red mist.

Amidst screams from within the red mist, a pair of blood-red eyes, full of resentment, stared at Jia Ren.

It only held out for a few moments before being consumed by the gray flames, completely disintegrating into nothingness.

The three types of flames had all reached the True Spirit Level. Each one was a True Spirit Flame rarely seen in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds in one hundred thousand years, let alone three varieties merged into one.

Their power was quite terrifying.

Although the power of the Heavenly Decree was formidable, it was constrained by the region it was in.

As the Dusk Treasured Light absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, the upper limit of the Heavenly Decree was locked in, and the outcome was already determined.

Finally, it was over!

Jia Ren waved his hand, and the gray flames reverted to three different types, re-entering his palm.

With everything settled, he then flew towards the Lingbao Sect.

Just at that moment, the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower reached the finale of its Ascension. The ninety-nine-story-high Spirit Pagoda flew out, absorbing the remnants of the tribulation lightning’s power from Jia Ren’s body and began its second metamorphosis.

Wisps of special immortal power floated within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

The Xuantian Immortal Treasure was officially born!
