Chapter 1380: Joint Force

At this moment, the Devil Lord's robes were tattered, making him look somewhat disheveled. When he saw Han Li, his face was full of disbelief.

After rescuing the Devil Lord, Han Li's eyes flickered with black light as he activated the Nine Nether Demon Pupils and continued to scan his surroundings, trying to find Gu Huo Jin's trace.

But Gu Huo Jin, after retreating into his spirit domain, seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving not even a trace of his aura.

"Gu Huo Jin is trying to buy time. There's not much left," the Reincarnation Palace Master said, frowning as he looked at the ever-growing Chaos Vortex.

Han Li's heart stirred. Now that he was closer to the Reincarnation Palace Master, the telepathic connection between them felt even stronger. He could perceive the other's thoughts and intentions with remarkable clarity.

Even before the other had spoken those words, Han Li had already sensed them in his mind.

But he wondered if the Reincarnation Palace Master could also read his thoughts.

"That may be so, but if he hides in his spirit domain and refuses to come out, do we have any way to force him out?" the Devil Lord said.

"Fellow Daoist Han cultivates the same Great Five Elements Illusory World Technique as Miro did. Now that the three of us are gathered here with the three supreme laws, we might be able to break through Gu Huo Jin's spirit domain," the Reincarnation Palace Master said.

"Your current condition is not good. If you keep using the law of reincarnation, even if you defeat Gu Huo Jin, you might be absorbed by the Heavenly Dao," the Devil Lord said.

"Even if I merge with the Heavenly Dao, it's better than being destroyed along with this world. At this point, let's go all out!" the Reincarnation Palace Master said.

As his voice fell, a dark red light flickered around him, and his dark red spirit domain appeared again, making contact with Han Li's time spirit domain.

Rumble!

Both spirit domains trembled simultaneously and emitted a brilliant light.

Seeing this, Han Li's pupils constricted slightly.

This scene was not unfamiliar to him; a similar resonance had occurred when his spirit domain had come into contact with Gan Jiuzhen's earlier.

Moreover, the degree of resonance between their spirit domains far exceeded that with Gan Jiuzhen.

As he pondered, the two spirit domains each emitted a pulling force, drawing them rapidly closer until they completely merged.

The mountains within Han Li's golden spirit domain swelled as if inflated, instantly growing from a thousand zhang to ten thousand zhang, and rivers a hundred li wide became a thousand li long. The fluctuations of the time law emanating from them also increased tenfold.

The same happened to the Reincarnation Palace Master's spirit domain, but his face showed no surprise.

"What's happening?" Han Li didn't speak aloud but tried to communicate telepathically with the Reincarnation Palace Master.

"In a sense, you and I are still the same person, so it's natural for our laws to resonate. Moreover, your Divine Refining Art has reached perfection. The seventh level's ability allows telepathic connection with others, making law fusion easier. Our spirit domains merging is not surprising," the Reincarnation Palace Master replied telepathically.

Hearing this, Han Li felt a sudden understanding.

The reason the Reincarnation Palace Master had taught him the Divine Refining Art was that it held this deeper meaning.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I mean you no harm. Everything I do is to oppose Gu Huo Jin. If you help me destroy Gu Huo Jin and avenge my grudge, the Reincarnation Palace will be at your disposal from then on," the Reincarnation Palace Master communicated again, sensing Han Li's wariness.

"Whether we survive today is still uncertain. Let's talk about the future later," Han Li shook his head.

With their minds connected, he could sense that the Reincarnation Palace Master was not lying, but he had little interest in power.

Moreover, even if it weren't for the Reincarnation Palace Master, he had to defeat Gu Huo Jin today, as there was a conflict over the Dao between them.

There could only be one Time Dao Ancestor in the world!

This also involved the commission entrusted to him by Miro老祖.

Han Li made a hand seal and pointed, causing his time spirit domain to expand further. At the same time, countless golden sword-shaped beams shot out from the domain, sweeping toward Gu Huo Jin's surrounding spirit domain.

These golden beams contained phantom images of the five elements—fire, water, metal, wood, and earth—each emitting extremely powerful energy fluctuations.

Sensing Han Li's resolve, the Reincarnation Palace Master felt reassured and immediately activated his reincarnation spirit domain.

Thick dark red beams shot out from his domain and intertwined with the golden sword-shaped beams from Han Li's domain.

Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master focused their gazes simultaneously, fully driving their respective laws and merging the two forces through their telepathic connection.

Although the law forces within the golden and red lights still resisted each other, they began to truly merge.

Rumble!

The golden sword-shaped beams swelled wildly, expanding dozens of times in an instant. The originally blurred sword bodies became extremely clear, with the blade edge, guard, spine, and hilt all vividly detailed.

Each golden beam turned into a giant golden sword, with dark red circular patterns—symbols of the reincarnation law—emerging on the sword bodies.

Sharp sword qi erupted from the giant golden swords, slicing toward Gu Huo Jin's golden spirit domain.

With a "rip" sound!

The golden spirit domain was easily cut into huge cracks, turning the once magnificent domain into a tattered rag.

The Devil Lord's face showed surprise, but he quickly activated his space spirit domain. Silver giants flew out from his domain again, charging at the surrounding golden spirit domain and exploding, sending waves of space-destroying force sweeping outward.

His technique was originally extremely sophisticated, but compared to the law fusion of Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master, it was much weaker. However, as one of the three supreme laws, it also resonated with the others.

Gu Huo Jin's golden spirit domain trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.

The golden light inside churned, trying to repair the cracks, but to little effect.

Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master shouted again, simultaneously driving their spirit domains.

Tens of thousands of golden sword-shaped beams shot out, striking the golden spirit domain.

Finally, the golden spirit domain could no longer withstand it. With a series of muffled sounds, it shattered and collapsed completely, scattering into countless golden lights.

Gu Huo Jin's figure emerged, but it startled Han Li and the others.

Gu Huo Jin's body below the waist had already merged into the Chaos Vortex, leaving only his upper body visible.

Moreover, his skin was covered with chaotic-colored stripes, and the same was true for his face, making him look terrifying.

The Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devil Lord were shocked when they saw Gu Huo Jin like this.

Han Li, besides being shocked, showed a strange expression on his face as he looked up at the sky.

Ever since he had advanced to the Great Luo stage, he had constantly felt an immense pressure from above, like an insurmountable chasm blocking his progress in the time law.

That was the barrier set by Gu Huo Jin, the Time Dao Ancestor, blocking the path of all who cultivated the time law.

But now, Han Li felt that the chasm ahead had suddenly disappeared.

"Could it be..." A guess arose in Han Li's mind, and his eyes flickered with excitement.

"You're too late after all. Now I have achieved the unity of the Dao and attained the Chaotic Dharma Body, invulnerable to all laws. What can you do to me? Haha... haha..." Gu Huo Jin, abandoning his previous calm, waved his arms wildly, a look of madness on his face as he laughed loudly.

A vast, ancient aura burst forth from Gu Huo Jin, filled with a sense of embracing all things. Various law forces fluctuated within it.

The strongest among them was the time law, but there were also other laws mixed in.

"Gu Huo Jin has gone mad..." the Devil Lord muttered, his eyes wide.

"Chaotic force has entered his body, and he probably can't fully control it yet, so his mind is somewhat deranged. We can't let him continue. Once he fully masters the chaotic law, even with the three of us combined, we won't be his match!" the Reincarnation Palace Master's voice rang in Han Li and the Devil Lord's minds.

Before his words faded, he had already lunged at Gu Huo Jin.

Han Li and the Devil Lord's hearts tightened, and they followed closely behind.

Gu Huo Jin suddenly looked over, his expression turning ferocious as he raised both hands.

As if pulled by a tremendous force, the Chaos Vortex shook violently, and thousands of brown arrow shadows shot out from it. Each shadow was a hundred zhang long and as thick as a millstone, raining down on the three of them.

The arrow shadows also contained different law forces, but only four types.

Two of them were distinct: the time law and the space law. The other two law forces had merged into one, making them hard to distinguish, but they could still be sensed as the wind law and the thunder law.

The wind and thunder laws both favored speed, combined with the time law and the space law's effect, the brown arrow shadows moved at an inconceivable speed, instantly crossing the distance and arriving before the three.

Han Li and the others were charging forward and were caught off guard, seemingly about to be injured by the arrow shadows.

"Freeze!" A figure appeared in front of Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master—it was the Devil Lord. He made hand seals and pointed into the void.

In terms of spatial shifting speed, the Devil Lord, who mastered the space law, was the fastest among the three.

The void for tens of thousands of li ahead instantly shimmered with countless silver lights and froze solid, trapping the brown arrow shadows.

But in the next moment, the arrow shadows flashed, and the four laws erupted simultaneously. The frozen space shattered inch by inch, and the countless arrow shadows shot out again.

With that brief gap, Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master had already reacted. They immediately drove their spirit domains, and countless golden sword shadows shot out again, slashing at the arrow shadows.

Instantly, golden light, dark red light, and brown light intertwined, accompanied by countless earth-shattering explosions!

The nearby space, already reduced to nothingness, fluctuated again, and the Chaos Vortex was also affected, churning violently.

The brown arrow shadows, bearing four law forces, were powerful, but with Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master joining forces, the fusion of the two supreme laws was even stronger.

The golden sword shadows swiftly cut through, soon shattering all the brown arrow shadows, though many golden sword shadows were also destroyed.

Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master simultaneously made hand seals, pouring their immortal spiritual power and law forces into their spirit domains.

With a "boom"!

Their spirit domains rapidly expanded, covering Gu Huo Jin, while countless giant golden sword shadows shot out from within, slashing at him.

At the same time, the void on the other side of Gu Huo Jin stirred, and the Devil Lord's figure appeared. He flicked his finger.

The space that had already turned into nothingness flickered, and countless silver cracks appeared, resembling spatial rifts.

But these silver cracks emitted the power of the space law, many times greater than the spatial rifts of the original world.

The space here had long been shattered into nothingness, but from another perspective, this void was also another, more stable form of space.

The spatial cracks here were far more powerful than before.

The Devil Lord waved his hands, and countless spatial cracks shot out, also slashing toward Gu Huo Jin.
