Chapter 1364: On the Verge of Breaking Out

Seeing Han Li almost bent over by the three peaks, Zhu Yan suddenly grinned, and with a flash of light, vanished from his spot, heading straight for the Gold Devouring Beetle.

It seemed these people had already agreed from the start; their goal was to interrupt the Gold Devouring Beetle's devouring of this void.

Seeing his figure appear behind the Gold Devouring Beetle like a ghost, Han Li's expression turned cold as he said:

“Don’t even think about it!”

The next moment, a golden light appeared out of nowhere, and a winding golden mountain range descended from the sky, crashing down as if in an instant. Zhu Yan had no chance to dodge and was directly suppressed.

His body was buried beneath the mountain range, and a sand imbued with powerful time law power surged from all sides, wrapping his entire body.

Zhu Yan's body flickered with light, trying to break free from the illusion dust sand, but to no avail. The surrounding golden sand, like quicksand, slowly swallowed him.

Around him, slender roots seemed to spread, layer by layer entangling his body.

“Not good...” Purple Fir muttered, immediately retreating backward.

In the pitch-black sky, flames suddenly swirled, and a rain of fire meteors pierced the void, crashing down below.

At the same time, a roar like a beast’s cry suddenly sounded.

Han Li, who had been pinned under the peaks, suddenly burst with light, his body expanding a hundredfold into a three-headed, six-armed demonic form. With one palm, he overturned the three mountains above him.

He erupted with an indescribably powerful aura, forcing even Dongli Hu to retreat.

Standing in the air, Han Li turned his gaze and finally saw the white-haired man previously hidden behind Purple Fir. That fellow was now sitting cross-legged in the void, with a white halo floating beneath him.

Inside the halo were dense arrays of talisman patterns and countless star patterns, rippling with an extremely strange law aura that Han Li had never felt before. It seemed not to belong to the five elements, nor was it related to the soul.

“I thought you had some skill, but it turns out you’re nothing special,” Han Li said indifferently, looking down at the three.

Purple Fir’s expression remained unchanged. He slightly turned his head and asked Meng Yuan, “I’ve stalled him for so long; are you ready yet?”

Meng Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting countless stars, and said with a smile:

“Ready...”

……

The changes at the Bodhi Feast finally made the seven Heavenly Court lords, including Li Yuanjiu, look solemn.

Gu Huojin remained calm as ever, still sitting upright in his wheelchair.

"Shi Kongyu, the Heavenly Court and your Demon Domain have long signed a treaty of non-aggression. Are you bringing your people here to reignite the war?" Patriarch Baiyun stepped forward and demanded sternly.

"Back then, your Heavenly Court invaded our Demon Domain to plunder resources, slaughtering countless of our kin. Today, we come to avenge this blood feud," the Demon Lord said slowly.

The demon army behind him roared in unison, their eyes turning bloodshot.

The various races of the Primordial Wilds shared a deep enmity with the Heavenly Court, needless to say. They glared at the cultivators in the Jade Pool with intense hatred. If not for Bai Ze and others strictly forbidding any rash action, the Primordial Wilds races would have long lost patience and charged out.

Patriarch Baiyun was startled as he looked at the dense army around him.

He was currently in charge of the Heavenly Court, and he had personally arranged all the specific affairs of this Bodhi Feast, as well as the deployment of the Heavenly Court's forces.

The Jade Pool was located deep within the Heavenly Court. After countless years of management, the Heavenly Court had layered countless restrictions inside and out, forming an impregnable fortress. With many patriarchs and Daluo experts stationed around, he felt it was foolproof. Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Palace was launching fierce attacks on the Middle Earth Immortal Domain from all sides, so he had dispatched most of the Heavenly Court's forces to resist the Reincarnation Palace's offensive.

Now, with few guards left inside the Heavenly Court, the demons and Primordial Wilds true spirits had managed to exploit a loophole and descend here out of nowhere.

Patriarch Baiyun's face darkened. He glanced at the gathered True Immortal Realm crowd, his eyes flickering.

Although those attending the Bodhi Feast were far fewer in number than the demon and Primordial Wilds true spirit armies, they were the top existences from various major forces in the True Immortal Realm, with formidable strength.

Among them were over a hundred Daluo cultivators, and three patriarchs, including Cangwu True Lord.

In terms of high-end战力, their side still held the upper hand.

With this thought, Patriarch Baiyun's anxiety eased slightly. He turned to look at Gu Huojin, waiting for his instructions.

Gu Huojin ignored the Demon Lord and Bai Ze. He turned to look at the Reincarnation Palace Master, about to say something, when suddenly his right hand moved swiftly, grasping at the void.

A few hundred zhang to his right, the air flickered, and a giant golden hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbing down like lightning—it was his signature Heavenly Emperor's Great Hand Seal technique.

With a tearing sound, the void shattered like paper, and a figure stumbled out, crashing downward. It was none other than the Reincarnation Palace Master.

Meanwhile, the other Reincarnation Palace Master, who had been sitting behind the platform, flickered and dissipated.

The giant golden hand did not stop. Its surface flashed with golden light, and it grabbed down again fiercely.

The Reincarnation Palace Master's face was ashen. A dark red light flashed on his body surface, and he instantly stabilized himself, punching upward.

With a muffled "boom!"

A dark red six-cornered wheel appeared above his head, spinning rapidly, emitting a tremendous suction force. The divine souls of everyone within and outside the Jade Pool trembled violently, as if about to be drawn into the six-cornered wheel.

In the nick of time, just as the six-cornered wheel appeared, the golden giant palm descended, and the two collided heavily.

A deafening explosion rang out, and dazzling golden and red light radiance emerged, spreading outward.

But at that moment, the void beside the Reincarnation Palace Master flickered, and four figures materialized out of thin air: Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, the White Cloud Dao Ancestor, and the dwarf old man.

Golden, red, white, and black light burst forth from the four of them, instantly forming an immensely solid four-colored light shield that enveloped both the Reincarnation Palace Master and the exploding golden and red light radiance.

The light shield appeared indestructible, with countless four-colored runes seething and leaping within, yet without conflicting with each other.

This seemed to be a joint divine ability; everywhere inside the shield was filled with a suffocating, powerful binding force.

The Reincarnation Palace Master's body tightened, as if crushed by a million-zhang mountain, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult.

Meanwhile, the golden and red light radiance did not explode outward but was confined within the shield, soon dissipating and merging into the four-colored runes inside.

This series of changes happened as fast as lightning, and only now did the crowd react, erupting into an uproar.

Upon seeing this, the Demon Lord, Bai Ze, and the others had various colored lights flare up on their bodies.

Gu Huojin shifted his gaze, glanced at Chen Ruyan beside him and the Yinming Dao Ancestor, a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

Chen Ruyan furrowed her brows, then vanished with a movement, appearing in front of Bai Ze and the others the next moment.

Appearing alongside her was the ice-like middle-aged man in white robes.

"Three fellow Primordial True Spirit Kings, I have no desire to fight you. Please do not force my hand," Chen Ruyan said coolly.

As she spoke, a layer of blue light emerged on her body, within which an ancient blue stone gate could faintly be seen, exuding an endless, desolate aura as if it had existed before the heavens and earth were created.

Inside the gate were surging waves; at first glance, nothing special, but upon closer inspection, the gate seemed to become infinitely vast, encompassing the entire world, with countless towering waves crashing down, grinding one into powder, leaving no trace.

"Is this the Gate of Ten Thousand Waters?" Bai Ze, Yuemian, and the bald-headed man all changed expression slightly and halted their steps.

At the same time, a shadow flickered before the Demon Lord, and the Yinming Dao Ancestor appeared out of thin air, standing alone in front of the demon realm crowd.

The Demon Lord's eyes flickered, and he stopped in his tracks.

However, the mountain-like fat woman in a white dress beside him did not stop. With a cold laugh, a black light flashed in her hand, and she produced a massive black spiked club taller than herself, swinging it out.

The black spiked club grew larger in the wind, turning into a huge black shadow, striking at the Yinming Dao Ancestor with the force of splitting mountains and seas.

The Demon Lord's expression shifted, but he did not intervene.

The Yinming Dao Ancestor did not dodge; the black club shadow struck him squarely.

With a "bang," the Yinming Dao Ancestor's body burst apart, not into blood, but into a cloud of black smoke.

"What the hell?" The white-dressed fat woman was slightly startled, then snorted again, sweeping her black club horizontally.

A black gale whipped up, intending to disperse the black smoke.

But at that moment, the white-dressed fat woman's eyes suddenly became vacant, then a terrified expression appeared on her face, and she let out a piercing scream, as if trapped in some illusion.

At the same time, she wildly swung her black club, countless club shadows layering and transforming into a black demon wind that swept around.

Seeing the fat woman's bizarre change, the three demon clan Dao Ancestors who were about to act all halted.

The Demon Lord's face darkened, and he flicked his sleeve.

The void around the white-dressed fat woman rippled, countless ripples appearing as if turning into water.

Countless club shadows struck the spatial ripples and immediately sank deep into them, even the giant black club itself became trapped.

The white-dressed fat woman pulled hard but could not pull it out.

Not only that, the water-like space rapidly spread, engulfing half of the white-dressed woman's body.

The Demon Lord appeared before the white-dressed fat woman, pressing his finger on her brow.

The terror on the white-dressed fat woman's face quickly faded, and her eyes regained clarity.

"Thank you, Demon Lord, for your assistance," she said gratefully, still panting heavily.

It seemed that the brief episode of madness had greatly drained her mental energy.

Seeing the white-dressed woman's condition, the Demon Lord waved his hand calmly, and the surrounding void returned to normal. The white-dressed fat woman turned to look ahead.

The Yinming Dao Ancestor's figure reappeared, still standing in the same spot, as if he had never moved at all.
