Chapter 1366: Reversal

"Crackle..."

A dazzling flash of lightning suddenly flickered on the azure bamboo cloudsword. Han Li, who had been hundreds of thousands of miles away, instantly shifted to this spot, grasped the longsword, and without any hesitation, swept it horizontally.

"Swish..."

With a soft sound, the scarecrow's head flew high into the air, and a large spray of dark golden blood shot out.

Han Li's form flickered as he caught the head midair in one hand. With a flash of lightning in his hand, it transformed into a golden lightning cage, completely enveloping the head.

Dongli Hu and Zishan wanted to rescue him, but it was already too late.

Han Li sneered and looked again; the head in his hand had returned to its original appearance, but it was covered in blood and grime, looking utterly miserable.

Meanwhile, the headless corpse on the other side was no longer in the form of a scarecrow. On its left arm and chest and abdomen were four bloody holes, positioned almost identically to those on Han Li's body.

"Fellow Daoist Mengyuan, right? Your curse law is indeed not easy to施展, requiring injury for injury. No wonder you could silently inflict severe damage on me but refused to directly sever my heart meridian or blow up my head," Han Li said with a laugh.

As he spoke, the wounds on his body began to heal gradually, eventually fully recovering.

The head he held in his hand like a chicken, however, could not smile at all at this moment.

"Injury for injury? Fellow Daoist, you underestimate my curse law. Given a bit more time, it would have been injury for life. But since I have lost, I have nothing to say." Mengyuan appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he was furious and resentful.

Just one step away... It was all that fool Dongli Hu's fault.

"Your law is indeed strange. On an ordinary day, I might spare your life for a while to study it thoroughly. But today, I simply cannot spare the time. I can only send you on your way," Han Li said with a cold laugh.

He was indeed curious about this bizarre curse law, but given the current situation, keeping this fellow alive might lead to unexpected trouble. He was not willing to take that risk.

"Han Li, I will curse you..." Mengyuan immediately burst into curses upon hearing this.

"I don't mind," Han Li said indifferently.

...

While the Demon Lord and others were being blocked by Dao Ancestor Yinming and Chen Ruyan, within the four-colored light barrier, the Reincarnation Palace Master was not surrendering without a fight.

The dark red light around him flickered violently as he clenched his fists and pushed outward.

A vast wave of reincarnation law force erupted, fiercely冲击ing the surrounding light barrier.

The four-colored light barrier trembled violently, and the bodies of Li Yuanjiu and the others also shook violently.

Seeing this, Gu Huojin expressionlessly formed a hand seal with one hand.

The golden giant palm slapped down again, directly merging into the four-colored light barrier.

A palm-print-shaped rune flashed into existence at the top of the barrier, and the four-colored light barrier immediately gained another color, its power greatly increased, becoming twice as thick.

This combined imprisonment technique, known as the Thirty-Three Heavens Locking Void Array, was a mysterious technique passed down from ancient times in the Heavenly Court. It required the existence of a Dao Ancestor to施展 and could融合 different law forces to form a confined space.

Moreover, the more law forces融合, the greater the power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Locking Void Array. Legend has it that this technique could融合 thirty-three different laws, with enough power to lock down the entire True Immortal Realm.

However, the more laws融合, the greater the difficulty. Gu Huojin had taught this technique to some Dao Ancestors serving the Heavenly Court, but most could only施展 the Thirty-Three Heavens Locking Void Array with four people working together.

The palm-print rune on the barrier flickered, emitting golden ripples that spread and undulated within the barrier.

The Reincarnation Palace Master was now completely immobilized, and even the dark red light around him had stagnated.

Yet Li Yuanjiu and the other three did not relax; they continued to form hand seals with full force.

The Thirty-Three Heavens Locking Void Array formed by the融合 of five laws far exceeded their control ability.

Gu Huojin grabbed again with his right hand, and a golden light shot out, entering the Reincarnation Palace Master's body within the barrier, then quickly flew out again.

The golden light wrapped around a silver talisman, which shot out and fell into Gu Huojin's hand.

The talisman was covered with intricate silver lines, extremely complex, with an ancient character "定" (fix) written in the center. An extremely obscure spatial law fluctuation emanated from the talisman.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord in the distance showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"A spatial定位 talisman. No wonder Shi Kongyu could break through the Heavenly Court's numerous禁制 and open a spatial channel directly here. Your true purpose in attending the Bodhi Banquet was this. Unfortunately, you overestimated your own strength. Coming alone to my Heavenly Court, don't expect to leave unscathed." Gu Huojin looked up at the Reincarnation Palace Master and said indifferently.

The Reincarnation Palace Master, suppressed by four Dao Ancestors, could not speak and naturally could not answer Gu Huojin's question.

"Thank you for your hard work,四位. Take him down and seal him away." Gu Huojin crushed the talisman with one hand and waved to Li Yuanjiu and the others.

Li Yuanjiu agreed, and the four of them jointly施法, carrying the five-colored light barrier and flying backward.

Nearby Heavenly Court members cheered excitedly. The Reincarnation Palace Master was no ordinary person; he could be said to be the Heavenly Court's number one enemy. The Heavenly Court had pursued him for countless ages, and today they had finally captured him.

With this person in hand, the Reincarnation Hall was no longer a concern.

And the present Demon Domain and Primordial True Spirits were clearly allied with the Reincarnation Palace Master. Now that the Reincarnation Palace Master was captured, the blow to the morale of the two races was also immense.

Cangwu True Lord and the other two, seeing this, shook their heads inwardly.

"Although it was to bring the spatial定位 talisman to the Jade Pool, he should not have come alone. Gu Huojin is not easy to deal with. It seems the rumors of the Reincarnation Palace Master's extreme power are exaggerated. He is nothing special." Cangwu True Lord thought to himself, but his eyes flickered slightly.

Now that the Reincarnation Palace Master was captured, it seemed the Heavenly Court had the upper hand in this battle. Perhaps it was time to choose sides.

The other two also had flickering eyes, seemingly considering the same thing.

Those who could attend the Bodhi Banquet at the Jade Pool were all old foxes who had lived for countless millennia. Many in the Jade Pool had the same thoughts as Cangwu True Lord, and their gazes toward the Heavenly Court members grew more frequent.

Gu Huojin keenly noticed the change in mentality among the people in the Jade Pool. He smiled slightly and turned to look at the Demon Lord and others, about to say something.

Suddenly, a change occurred!

"Bang! Bang!" Two abrupt loud noises sounded, followed by two miserable screams. A surge of immense force rushed from behind like a tidal wave, causing even Gu Huojin's form to stagger.

He quickly steadied himself and turned around, but his pupils instantly contracted to pinpricks.

He saw a house-sized pitch-black giant claw before him, with five scythe-like long nails gleaming with black light, seemingly able to pierce everything, stabbing fiercely at Gu Huojin's head.

The giant claw was wrapped in black qi, exuding an extremely evil aura, as if it were the resentment buried deep in the endless hell for thousands of years, finally coming to the mortal world to kill everyone and drag them into the earth.

Behind the giant claw was the Reincarnation Palace Master, who should have been imprisoned. Somehow, he had broken free.

Further behind, Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the dwarf old man had been cut in two, lying in a pool of blood. Although not dead, they had temporarily lost the ability to move.

Meanwhile, Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong had disappeared.

Gu Huojin frowned and flicked his sleeve.

The robe he wore was clearly also an immortal artifact. The sleeve grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a layer of golden light screen, blocking in front of him.

A strange tearing sound came, and the golden light screen trembled violently. The pitch-black giant claw pierced nearly halfway into the screen before finally stopping.

At that moment, the void behind Gu Huojin flickered, and a fireball like a red sun shot out from it, crashing into Gu Huojin's back.

The fireball burned with blazing red flames, and within it could be seen a formation of countless red lines. An unimaginably terrifying high temperature was released from the red sun, easily melting and erasing the nearby void.

Ten thousand red rays burst forth, dyeing everything around a deep red.

"Boom!" In an instant, a raging fire ignited inside and outside the Jade Pool, turning it into a sea of flames.

Behind the red fireball, Chi Rong's figure emerged.

At the same time, near Gu Huojin, a "hissing" sound arose as countless golden light threads appeared out of thin air, each containing a terrifying fluctuation of the metal law.

The nearby sea of flames was instantly cut and shattered, and the high temperature permeating the surrounding void was also cut apart. The unbearable heat of the Jade Pool vanished by more than half in an instant.

Thousands of golden light threads shot down, all stabbing toward Gu Huojin.

Within the countless golden lights, Li Yuanjiu's figure also emerged.

Gu Huojin's expression darkened, but before he could make any countermove, the red fireball and countless golden lights simultaneously struck his body, engulfing his figure.

"Supreme!" The fallen Dao Ancestor Baiyun and the dwarf old man exclaimed in shock.

The several Dao Ancestors blocking the Demon Domain and Primordial True Spirits were also greatly alarmed, but everything happened too fast for them to react.

"What's going on? Have Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong defected to the Reincarnation Palace!" Cangwu True Lord and the other two were also stunned by this sudden turn of events, hardly believing their eyes.

The soaring flames and golden light engulfed Gu Huojin's body.

But the expected earth-shattering roar did not occur. The red fireball and golden light threads suddenly stopped in place, and the surging air currents, flickering lights, and leaping flames all froze.

Everything was extremely eerie.

Seeing this, the Reincarnation Palace Master's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.

Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong also did the same, flying backward as if avoiding something.

The next moment, a layer of blue light suddenly appeared in midair, and a vast wave of ice law force descended from the sky. The heat inside and outside the Jade Pool instantly vanished, chilling people to the bone.

The Reincarnation Palace Master and the other two were caught by this ice law force, and their movements momentarily stalled.

A figure flickered in midair, and the snow-robed man who had been jointly blocking the Primordial True Spirits with Chen Ruyan appeared out of thin air. He flicked his sleeve.

Blue light flashed in the sky, and countless blue ice cones凝聚 out of thin air. With a tremor, they shot down like crossbow bolts, emitting a piercing screech, striking at the three.

Each ice cone emitted a powerful cold qi fluctuation, and the space within rippled with ice crystals, directly freezing.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Hundreds of beams of light containing powerful law fluctuations followed the dense ice cones, shooting over in a blanket, striking at the Reincarnation Palace Master and the other two. It was the nearly a hundred Great Luo existences under the Heavenly Court who finally seized the opportunity to attack the three.

The combined force of nearly a hundred Great Luo was extremely astonishing!

The Reincarnation Palace Master snorted lightly, not bothering to entangle with these people. His figure flickered and vanished, reappearing the next moment above the Demon Domain army.

Seeing the Reincarnation Palace Master leave, Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong did not stay either, flying toward him.
