Chapter 1372: Breaking Free

Gu Huojin merely smiled faintly at the Demon Lord's words, his hands swiftly forming seals, and a complex pattern resembling a formation appeared on his brow.

The pattern was formed by runes of nine different colors, emitting nine different hues of light, each radiating a law power.

The nine-colored lights interwove, and the nine distinct law powers did not conflict but seemed to merge with each other.

Within the nine-colored light was a very peculiar aura, somewhat similar to the power of the Heavenly Dao, yet different.

With a loud bang,

dazzling nine-colored light burst forth from Gu Huojin, spreading in all directions.

Gu Huojin's series of actions were too fast; the Reincarnation Palace Master and others were too late to stop him.

The nine-colored light swept over the four, who hastily cast defensive spells, but the light merely passed over them without attacking.

"What have you done?" the Demon Lord's expression darkened.

As he spoke, silver light blazed from his body, and he prepared to act.

The Reincarnation Palace Master frowned, and dark red light flickered on his body as well.

At that moment, two slightly pained cries came from the side, from Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong.

On their brows, two nine-colored patterns also appeared, from which streams of nine-colored light纹 emerged, spreading rapidly over their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, their bodies were covered with nine-colored light纹.

The two quickly formed hand seals before them, and golden light and red light surged from their bodies, fluctuating with the nine-colored light.

The nine-colored light seemed to try to control the laws within them, but Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong were Dao Ancestors with profound cultivation and were not controlled.

However, in this struggle, they lost control of their law powers, and their divine abilities were greatly reduced.

At that moment, golden shadows flickered before them, and two giant golden palms appeared, striking at their heads with a series of afterimages.

Gu Huojin had made his move!

Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong had no chance to dodge and seemed about to be hit. Suddenly, a piercing shriek sounded, and two dark red lights interposed, blocking the golden palms—the Reincarnation Palace Master had intervened in time.

With two loud bangs, the dark red lights were shattered, but the golden palms were also delayed for a moment.

The void behind Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong rippled, and their figures were sucked in and vanished.

The golden palms struck down but hit nothing.

The void a few hundred li away stirred, and Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong appeared, with the Demon Lord and Reincarnation Palace Master also emerging beside them.

"Are you two alright?" the Demon Lord asked, watching Gu Huojin warily.

"The mark on our foreheads is trying to control the law powers within us. I don't know what it is or when it entered my body," Li Yuanjiu said, struggling against the nine-colored light纹.

Chi Rong remained silent, but his situation was clearly similar to Li Yuanjiu's.

"This is the Dao God Seal!" the Reincarnation Palace Master said, staring at the nine-colored patterns on their brows.

"What? Isn't the Dao God Seal a divine ability used to resist Heavenly Dao erosion?" Chi Rong exclaimed in shock.

"Indeed, this is the Dao God Seal, but I have made some modifications. Palace Master, I don't know where you learned of the Dao God Seal, but you probably didn't expect this situation," Gu Huojin said calmly as he flew over.

The Reincarnation Palace Master moved to block Li Yuanjiu and Chi Rong, but then his body trembled slightly, and he turned to look into the distance.

Streams of light were flying over from afar—the cultivators who had just left.

On their brows, the same Dao God Seal patterns appeared, and their bodies emitted various lights, but their faces were filled with terror, clearly unable to control their actions.

The light on those people was dazzling and intense, as if they were burning their lives, converging into a massive torrent that struck the unprepared demon army from behind like thunder and lightning.

These cultivators, disregarding their bodies' limits, overloaded their divine abilities, unleashing combat power higher than usual.

Moreover, they seemed to have gone mad, launching all kinds of attacks desperately.

Countless immortal artifacts struck the demon army, causing bloodshed and chaos, with cries and wails filling the air.

These cultivators from various immortal domains were already stronger than the demon army, and now attacking recklessly while the demon army was caught off guard, the formation quickly fell into disarray, and the encirclement was soon torn apart.

Seeing this, the天庭 cultivators inside the encirclement rejoiced, immediately撤去 the formation and joined the mad cultivators.

The two armies merged, led by the mad cultivators, and without pause, charged straight into the opposing barbaric domain army, rampaging and killing at will.

Wherever they passed, the ground was stained red, and bones littered the sky.

...

Han Li had just withdrawn his True Word Wheel and other time law manifestations when a vast purple flame suddenly exploded, instantly turning into a sea of purple fire that surged toward him.

Seeing no way to avoid it, Han Li frowned and said, "I don't have time to waste with you."

With that, he activated the Great Five Elements Illusion World Technique within him, shouted "Heaven and Earth Overturned," and struck out with a palm.

The formation space, which had just established a connection with the outside world, was twisted by a strange force, and all the flames flipped over, falling upward.

Then, a golden handprint a million zhang in size appeared in the void, like a divine fan, sweeping toward Zhu Yan and the others.

At the same time, the vast power drawn from the outside world poured in like a great torrent, surging with the golden handprint.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With a series of void explosions, the entire formation space began to contract layer by layer, finally collapsing under the strain.

Jin Tong, having escaped, resumed her maiden form and flew back to Han Li's side.

"So we were still in the outer space..." Jin Tong said, quickly scanning the surroundings.

Han Li looked at the spatial fissures like skylights in the surrounding void, pondered for a moment, and said:

"No wonder this formation was so hard to break; it was powered by ten immortal domains. If those few hadn't entered the formation to cause trouble, we might not have gotten out so soon."

With that, he turned and glanced at Zi Shan and the others in the distance.

"What do we do?" Zhu Yan asked solemnly.

"The formation is broken; we can't stop him..." Zi Shan sighed and said.

"But..." Zhu Yan wanted to speak, but Zi Shan interrupted.

"Meng Yuan has fallen, Dong Li Hu is severely injured, and you and I..." Zi Shan hesitated.

"What about us?" Zhu Yan asked urgently.

"You and I are also severely injured," Zi Shan said through gritted teeth, decisively.

Zhu Yan understood immediately, and the two glanced at Han Li, then turned and flew into one of the spatial fissures.

Han Li watched them flee but did not stop them.

"These spatial fissures are about to disappear. What should we do?" Jin Tong suddenly asked.

Han Li looked around and saw that the ten spatial fissures were indeed gradually closing, some already gone.

"Let's go too."

...

The barbaric domain army was also shocked by the mad assault of the天庭 cultivators, and their orderly formation began to fall into chaos.

Among the cultivators from various sects in the distance, only a few remained, not controlled by the Dao God Seal.

On the brows of Cangwu Zhenjun and the other two, Dao God Seal patterns also appeared, and nine-colored light纹 covered their bodies, trying to control their law powers. The three resisted with all their might, frozen in place.

Although their law powers were controlled, their senses were not lost. Seeing the sudden change in the distant battle, they were all shocked.

Gu Huojin had hidden such a move; now the outcome of the battle was uncertain.

The Dao Ancestors who were fighting fiercely had varied expressions at the scene below.

The天庭 Dao Ancestors were overjoyed, while the demon clan's four tribes and Bai Ze's side were grim.

"I didn't expect the Dao God Seal could be used this way. It's an eye-opener, but relying on this alone to turn the tide is not enough," the Reincarnation Palace Master said calmly, watching the mad cultivators rampaging.

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and crystal light blazed on his brow.

An invisible chain shot out from it and vanished into the gray space above.

The Demon Lord also quickly formed seals and waved his hand, sending a thick silver light into the same spot.

With a crackling sound, a gray lightning bolt flashed across the gray space, followed by a second, then a third, a fourth...

In an instant, hundreds of gray lightning bolts appeared, forming a gate of gray lightning.

"This is..." Gu Huojin's eyes flickered with a strange light, and he immediately punched out.

With a thunderous roar, a golden fist shadow the size of a small mountain appeared, striking the gray lightning gate.

On this golden fist shadow was a huge character '王', exuding boundless dominance, clearly a very profound divine ability.

Before the fist shadow arrived, its immense force had already penetrated the gray lightning gate, pressing down on the Reincarnation Palace Master and the others.

The air around seemed to be sucked dry in an instant, and the four found it hard to breathe.

"Focus on your spell; I'll hold him off!" the Demon Lord shouted, flying out.

He raised his hand and pointed into the void, while uttering the word "Freeze."

Instantly, centered on the Demon Lord, countless silver lights appeared within a radius of several hundred li. The shattered space was restored and became billions of times more stable than before.

A mysterious and powerful spatial force rippled within the silver light, freezing everything within tens of thousands of li, as if frozen solid.

The golden fist shadow also stopped, unable to advance further.

However, the Reincarnation Palace Master and the others, as well as the space around the gray lightning gate, were not frozen and remained normal.
