Chapter 1387: Seizing the Bottle

Seeing this, Han Li's eyes nearly split with rage. Holding his sword with one hand and forming a sword gesture with the other, without even setting up a sword formation, he slashed at Gu Huo Jin.

With a thunderous roar, the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword blazed with light. Seventy-two purple-gold lightning bolts, combined with the sword light condensed from ancient sword qi, burst forth like a purple-gold dragon spanning the sky, hurtling toward Gu Huo Jin with lightning speed.

Crackling...

A web of lightning interwove in the void. The seventy-two lightning-dragon swords instantly shredded the void for tens of thousands of li, directly refining it into a golden liquid lightning pool.

At that moment, all things dimmed. Between heaven and earth, only this dazzling golden light remained, cutting across the entire sky.

Gu Huo Jin's figure was enveloped in the golden light. Countless chaotic mists were instantly torn apart, turning into powder and dissipating without a trace.

Yet, even as the purple-gold lightning imbued with the true meaning of lightning struck his body, Gu Huo Jin remained unmoved. He simply walked out of the range of the golden liquid lightning pool, step by step toward Han Li.

His pace was not fast, but with each step, chaotic mists gathered around him. When the mists dispersed, his figure had already arrived tens of thousands of li away.

Thus, after only a few steps, he had already emerged from the lightning pool.

At this moment, Gu Huo Jin's eyes seemed to have regained calm, with no trace of anger or killing intent visible. It appeared he had returned to the serene and composed demeanor he had shown when first appearing at the Bodhi Feast.

But Han Li could sense a grim and resolute aura from him.

As a Dao Ancestor who had ruled the Heavenly Court for countless eons, he was now truly enraged.

Han Li gripped his sword with both hands and swung it without pause.

One after another, purple-gold sword dragons, each fused with seventy-two purple-gold lightning serpents, swept toward Gu Huo Jin, dyeing the area for tens of thousands of li into a sea of lightning even vaster than the previous pool.

Yet, protected by the chaotic mists, Gu Huo Jin was completely unaffected. He strolled through the lightning sea as if on a leisurely walk, and in an instant, he was less than a thousand li from Han Li.

Just as Gu Huo Jin raised a hand to annihilate Han Li and reclaim the Vial of the Heaven's Gaze, his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped in his tracks.

He turned slightly to look into the distance behind him. The floating corpse of the Reincarnation Palace Master had vanished, and not far away, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk was slowly spinning on its own.

Then, the six runes on the disk lit up simultaneously. A dark red light shone from the center of the disk, and a figure emerged from it—tall and lean, with bright eyes. It was unmistakably the Reincarnation Palace Master.

As soon as he appeared, six streams of dark red light shot out from the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, twisting in midair into a dark red cage that enveloped Gu Huo Jin.

"You really aren't that easy to kill," Gu Huo Jin said with a light laugh, not looking particularly surprised. He simply raised a hand, and the dark red cage collapsed.

As his words fell, Han Li's voice sounded from very close by:

"You shouldn't be so arrogant..."

His figure appeared beside Gu Huo Jin out of thin air. He had abandoned the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword and transformed into a three-headed, six-armed demonic god. Behind him, the True Word Wheel and four other time law manifestations shone with a pure, glassy radiance and then surged into his body.

Golden light blazed on Han Li's six massive arms as he simultaneously struck out with six Great Five Elements Extinction Fists.

Bang, bang, bang...

Around Gu Huo Jin, chaotic vortexes formed on their own. Every one of the six divine fists struck these vortexes, and the power of the fists vanished like stones thrown into the sea, completely absorbed by the vortexes.

If six punches didn't land, what about six hundred, six thousand, sixty thousand... six million?

Han Li moved like lightning. His six arms turned into a blur of afterimages, pounding relentlessly at Gu Huo Jin. The void shook with the force of his punches, sounding like rolling thunder.

At first, Gu Huo Jin could handle it easily, but as Han Li's fists continued to rain down, their speed increased. Often, before the power of the previous punch had dissipated, the power of the next hundred had already stacked upon it.

Each punch carried enough force to shatter an entire continent or punch a hole through the sky.

This terrifying accumulation of power was not merely additive. Under the overwhelming barrage of fists, a massive barrier of fist force formed around Gu Huo Jin, trapping him inside.

After millions of punches, each strike sent ripples of force through the barrier, cracking the surrounding void with layer upon layer of fissures.

Even the newly resurrected Reincarnation Palace Master was forced back step by step, unable to help.

The Demon Lord, who had sealed the world with his own Dao, felt an immense pressure and was inwardly terrified.

When Han Li's 16,720,000th punch landed, the pent-up power finally exploded with a deafening roar.

Boom...

A blazing sun rose from Gu Huo Jin's body, emitting dazzling golden light that burst forth in all directions.

Seeing this, the Reincarnation Palace Master's heart tightened. The Reincarnation Disk behind him moved, instantly teleporting him tens of millions of li away.

Without hesitation, the Demon Lord also withdrew his spatial barrier and appeared beside the Reincarnation Palace Master.

The next moment, the light from the expanding golden sun surged like a tide, engulfing both of them.

They felt the void around them shatter completely the moment the golden light spread.

Then, a tremendous gravitational force came from the center of the explosion. All remaining heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, as well as floating particles of dust, were pulled toward it.

After a long time, the shattered void finally stabilized.

Through his special connection with Han Li, the Reincarnation Palace Master sensed his location and looked over. Han Li was surrounded by a group of sword-spirit children, uninjured but breathing heavily.

Though the sword-spirit children could not speak, they flew around Han Li, seemingly checking for injuries, showing great concern.

In fact, after throwing those millions of punches, even Han Li's Dao Ancestor body was somewhat exhausted. It was only thanks to the lightning teleportation ability of these sword-spirit children that he had managed to escape the center of the explosion.

Han Li scanned the void with his gaze and spread his divine sense, but found no trace of Gu Huo Jin.

He did not let his guard down in the slightest.

If Gu Huo Jin were so easily defeated, he would not be Gu Huo Jin.

Especially now that Gu Huo Jin had integrated the chaos law, he was no longer the same.

He looked toward the Vial of the Heaven's Gaze. The bottle, which had been as large as a giant tower, had now returned to its original size, emitting a faint green glow as it floated in the void.

The terrifying explosion had not damaged it at all, which relieved Han Li greatly.

The Reincarnation Palace Master and the Demon Lord exchanged a glance and quickly flew toward Han Li.

Halfway there, they heard a wild laugh from the void.

Both of them changed expression, stopped, and looked over.

A gray vortex appeared out of nowhere in the void, and a figure stepped out—it was Gu Huo Jin.

Not only was he unharmed, but his aura was even stronger than before.

"You do surprise me a little, but that's all. This time, let's see what tricks you have left," Gu Huo Jin said, casually reaching out and grabbing the nearby Vial of the Heaven's Gaze. He sneered at the three of them.

With that, a powerful force erupted from his palm as he clenched the bottle, attempting to crush it.

But as the gray light in his palm flared, a dark green light also bloomed from the bottle, forming a solid barrier that held against Gu Huo Jin's hand.

A flicker of surprise crossed Gu Huo Jin's eyes, and he increased the pressure.

"Stop!" Han Li roared, vanishing from his spot.

Almost simultaneously, a sword light shot out from behind Gu Huo Jin, stabbing toward his back.

Without turning, a chaotic light appeared behind him, blocking the sharp sword light.

The sword light was swallowed by the chaotic light and disappeared, but the next moment, it emerged from the void beside him, stabbing directly at the hand holding the bottle.

It turned out that the Demon Lord had simultaneously activated space law, redirecting the sword light toward Gu Huo Jin's hand.

A dull explosion rang out!

Gu Huo Jin's wrist shattered, and the hand holding the bottle fell off.

Just as the bottle was about to fall into a spatial vortex that appeared in the void below, strands of chaotic mist connected the severed hand to the stump, pulling it back. With a flash of gray light, the hand was restored.

Gu Huo Jin's gaze swept coldly over the three. Holding the bottle, he no longer tried to crush it but slowly pressed it into the center of his chest.

The flesh there sank inward, and the dark green bottle embedded itself, gradually being swallowed up.

The bottle trembled slightly, its dark green patterns flickering as if to resist, but then a mass of chaotic mist swirled around and poured into it.

The patterns on the bottle's surface instantly dimmed, like extinguished fireflies.

Then, a flame-like gray light blazed up within Gu Huo Jin's chest, enveloping the bottle.
