Chapter 1388: Fallen

"Not good, he's trying to refine the Vial of Heaven and Earth. We must stop him immediately!" Han Li's expression changed as he hurriedly shouted to the Reincarnation Palace Master and the Demon Lord.

"Gu Huojin's Chaos Law has already taken effect, making his body nearly indestructible. How do we stop him?" the Demon Lord asked with a frown.

"I still have one method to try. If it fails, then there will be no other way..." the Reincarnation Palace Master spoke again after a moment of silence.

With that, he transmitted his thoughts to Han Li and the Demon Lord, explaining his plan in detail.

"It's worth a try," the Demon Lord nodded after hearing it.

"But..." Han Li hesitated.

"Whether it succeeds or not, the key lies with you. Don't hesitate. I believe you won't disappoint me," the Reincarnation Palace Master said with a smile.

Han Li glanced at the Reincarnation Palace Master, then said nothing more, only nodding firmly.

For some reason, the Reincarnation Palace Master's face showed a hint of carefree smile as he suddenly leaped forward, actively charging toward Gu Huojin.

"Gu Huojin, earlier you mocked me for not knowing the splendor of the Ancestor realm. Today, I'll take a peek at that splendor and see if it's really as unbearable as you claim!" He stopped a million miles away and shouted.

"You previously used the law power of the Dao Ancestor realm with your Da Luo cultivation, and have already been merged by the Heavenly Dao. Even if you take this step now, what can you do?" Gu Huojin sneered.

As his words fell, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk floating behind the Reincarnation Palace Master began to rotate slowly, and one after another, reincarnation runes flew off it and landed on his body.

As more runes fell on him, the dark red light on the Reincarnation Palace Master grew stronger. His thin figure, hidden in the dark red glow, resembled a death god from hell.

His body floated up, and as red light churned in his eyes, strands of reincarnation law threads emerged from his body, connecting to the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk then rotated slowly, emitting six reincarnation lights that converged into the Reincarnation Palace Master's body.

The Reincarnation Palace Master let out a roar, and the red light enveloping his body surged like crimson flames, with flame tips flickering at the edges, emitting strong fluctuations of reincarnation law.

Seeing this, Gu Huojin narrowed his eyes and pushed his hands forward, instantly forming a chaotic vortex. Within it, chaotic forces tore at each other, emitting howling sounds as they flew rapidly toward the Reincarnation Palace Master.

At the same time, the Reincarnation Palace Master raised both hands and pushed them flat toward Gu Huojin.

From his palms, a chaotic beam shot out, meeting the chaotic vortex. The forces were evenly matched, stalemating in midair.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, now!" Han Li shouted.

The Demon Lord stepped forward, instantly appearing behind Gu Huojin. He pulled his hands together, causing a distortion in the void. The space within a hundred miles was compressed by his large hands, squeezing toward the center.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

A grating sound of friction rang out. The compressed space refracted crystalline light, and the originally formless void was squeezed into a glass-like substance, firmly binding Gu Huojin in place.

"Even if all three of your supreme laws pressure me at once, you still can't do anything to me!" Gu Huojin laughed loudly.

Chaotic light began to flow from around his body, attempting to transform into a chaotic vortex again to absorb the attacks of Han Li and the others.

"Don't even think about it!" the Demon Lord roared.

Silver light shone from various parts of his body, and the spatial law fluctuations around him rippled violently. A pitch-black vortex began to form behind him, gradually eroding toward the two demon wings on his back.

However, the Demon Lord seemed completely unaware, ignoring it entirely as he continued to output his law power at full force.

On the other side, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk behind the Reincarnation Palace Master spun faster and faster, its shape shrinking continuously. Correspondingly, the aura of the Reincarnation Palace Master began to surge wildly.

After just an instant, the thin windowpane separating Da Luo and Dao Ancestor was finally broken through.

At that moment, the Reincarnation Palace Master truly took the final step, becoming a Reincarnation Dao Ancestor.

Suddenly, clouds gathered in the void, spiritual energy turned into wind, and under the convergence of wind and clouds, rolling reincarnation law power surged from all directions, continuously pouring into the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

The Reincarnation Disk's rotation speed reached an unimaginable level, turning into a wildly flashing dark red ball of light.

At the same time, Han Li's figure had also leaped into the sky.

He activated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art and his true spirit bloodline to their limits, his body expanding a hundredfold into a divine demon with twelve true spirit heads and thirty-six arms.

Each arm held a Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword, spinning rapidly in the sky, causing chaos in heaven and earth and forming a massive golden tornado.

The five time law manifestations, including the Truth Dharma Wheel, turned into bright moon, stars, mountains, and rivers, surrounding the vortex, connected by golden lightning as if they were one.

Within the golden tornado, myriad ancient sword qi crisscrossed, and a heavenly sword array formed from sword qi emerged, emitting thunderous roars and an unstoppable terrifying might.

Seeing this scene, Gu Huojin felt a chill in his heart, then a flash of madness crossed his face as he roared:

"If you want a fight to the death, I'll grant your wish!"

With that, he forced open the spatial binding that the Demon Lord was suppressing with all his might, and a chaotic light shot out from his chest, instantly overpowering the stalemated chaotic vortex and reincarnation beam.

The chaotic light surged like a tide, unstoppable, directly pushing the reincarnation beam back.

The Reincarnation Palace Master roared, and the ball of light formed by the shrinking Six Paths Reincarnation Disk behind him completely dissipated, turning into a pure dark red energy that flowed into his body, causing his previously thin figure and sunken cheeks to swell up.

At this moment, he looked as if he had returned to his former appearance, but the aura he exuded with every move was even more astonishing, as if he could stir the cycle of reincarnation and control life and death.

"Gu Huojin, you cannot transcend reincarnation, and you will never return to it, haha..." the Reincarnation Palace Master laughed grimly.

His laughter echoed through heaven and earth, but his figure rapidly thinned again until he gradually dissipated, and like the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, he turned into a mass of pure reincarnation power that directly broke through the chaotic light barrier and, with a flash, struck into Gu Huojin's body.

All this took longer to describe than it actually happened, occurring in the blink of an eye.

Gu Huojin was startled, clearly not expecting this, and wanted to stop it but it was too late.

In that instant, the cycle of reincarnation seemed to freeze. All beings in the myriad realms—whether fleeing in panic, calmly awaiting death, or those unaffected by the collapse of the Heavenly Dao—experienced a momentary daze.

It felt as if their souls had left their bodies, all seeing a flash of red light like a blood-red setting sun.

An instant later, reincarnation returned to normal, and everyone recovered, except for one person.

Gu Huojin's soul remained outside, separated from his chaotic body.

At this moment, he finally realized what the three of them were planning, and a look of terror appeared on his soul's face.

His ethereal hands frantically pulled at the void, trying to swim back into his body, but a golden light had already swept over.

Outside the golden tornado formed by Han Li, the bright moon, stars, mountains, and rivers had all merged into the tornado, forming a massive sword blade wrapped in black demonic energy, which descended with an indescribable ferocious might.

On the sword blade, surging time law power rushed like a tide, and golden light instantly filled the entire void. Wherever it passed, time froze, and the void fell into complete stillness.

Only the eternal sword, driven by the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Art and infused with the power of the Great Five Elements Extinction Fist through the heavenly sword array, continuously shattered the void and fell upon Gu Huojin.

At this moment, there was no thunderous roar, no void tremor. Only a gray light enveloped everything, and the void silently shattered into a massive rift spanning the entire Middle Earth Immortal Region.

The expression on Gu Huojin's soul froze, then shattered first, followed by his body formed of chaotic power, which began to annihilate inch by inch.

The entire world seemed to lose color and sound.

After this scene stagnated for dozens of breaths, a mass of dark green light suddenly shot out from the center of the chaotic body, hovering in the void, flickering on and off.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Following that, a series of huge roars began to sound continuously, lasting for a long time.

Where the sword light fell, Gu Huojin had turned to dust. Where the sword light rose, Han Li's figure reappeared.

He had returned to his original form, but his face was pale as snow, and golden lines flowed slowly from his seven orifices, winding out like earthworms. On his left shoulder, wisps of black smoke rose.

When the black smoke dissipated, it could be seen that his left shoulder was empty, and an entire arm had vanished, eroded by the Heavenly Dao.

He raised his remaining right arm to wipe the golden blood from his face, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Beside him, a silver light door lit up, and Nangong Wan's figure flashed out. Seeing the shattered scene in the void ahead, especially the massive rift spanning the sky, she was shocked.

"Husband..." Nangong Wan came to her senses and quickly supported Han Li, calling softly.

Han Li's face showed no joy; he only shook his head slowly and said:

"Gu Huojin... has been killed by us."
