Chapter 1079: Breakthrough

Boom!

A terrifying force, like a rainbow, directly struck the immortal gate of Han Juntian, the thunderous sound shaking heaven and earth, especially the powerful residual might twisting the surrounding void, as if a giant hand were grasping the void in its palm and then crushing it ruthlessly.

Terrifying, truly terrifying, Han Juntian's strength is actually this formidable.

Unexpectedly, Han Juntian's potential is still so great. He is now making a move against Patriarch Qitian, likely to use this pressure to break through the barrier and directly advance to the Immortal King realm.

Since becoming the sect master of Tiandi Sect, Han Juntian's cultivation has never broken through. Now, perhaps through this disciple, he is clashing with Patriarch Qitian, wanting to completely shatter his own barrier. The question is whether he can succeed. If he does, with Tiandi Sect gaining another Immortal King, its status among the Nine Sects might change.

Whether he can break through is still a question. Do you think Patriarch Qitian doesn't know? Would he allow Tiandi Sect to add another Immortal King?

……

Lin Fan watched the scene before him, his mind slightly startled—how incredibly powerful! He hadn't expected the Sect Leader to be so strong, and moreover, he was using the aid of Patriarch Qitian to break through the current barrier.

Impressive, awesome.

"Sect Leader Han, you want to use my hand to break the barrier—quite a clever scheme," Patriarch Qitian sneered inwardly. How could he allow the Heaven and Earth Sect to grow stronger? Originally, he truly hadn't found a good opportunity to strike at Han Juntian, but now the man was courting death, so he couldn't be blamed.

Even if those old fellows wanted to save Han Juntian, they'd have to see if they were fast enough.

"Path of Immortal Dao, I am eternal!"

Han Juntian roared, and the Path of Immortal Dao suddenly trembled, with even subtle cracks beginning to appear on its gate.

At this moment, Han Juntian directly unleashed all the supreme divine abilities he had cultivated, condensing them into a single immortal pattern in the void.

The experts hiding in the void were all utterly astounded at the sight before them.

"Han Juntian is too bold, actually condensing all his cultivated divine abilities—he intends to transform all his divine abilities into supreme immortal arts."

"Terrifying. Look at those supreme divine abilities—there are at least a hundred of them. If they are all transformed into supreme immortal arts, after his promotion to Immortal King, his strength will likely surpass that of ordinary Immortal Kings."

"But Ancestor Qitian will never allow him to advance."

Ancestor Qitian gazed at Han Juntian, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand—a casual, effortless gesture without any fluctuation—yet between each finger coiled terrifying power. Ancestor Qitian absolutely would not permit Han Juntian to break through to the Immortal King realm. Now that Han Juntian sought to use his hand to achieve the breakthrough, he would grant that wish by striking him back to his original form.

"Annihilate!"

Ancestor Qitian took a step forward, his five fingers forming a claw, and reached directly for the immortal gate.

Boom!

Han Juntian's expression jolted violently. The immortal gate was seized in Ancestor Qitian's hand, and a vast force pierced through heaven and earth, forcibly eroding the gate.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out across heaven and earth. Cracks appeared on the immortal gate. Han Juntian's face remained calm, unchanged, but his power surged steadily. The supreme divine abilities burst forth with a dazzling radiance, pouring directly into the immortal gate.

At this moment, the power Han Juntian unleashed was heaven-defying, making him the strongest below the Immortal King. But to Ancestor Qitian, all this could be ignored.

"Suppress!"

The violent power came down in full suppression. Han Juntian's body suffered a severe blow, his skin splitting open, while the immortal gate crumbled continuously, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Han Juntian, you wanted to use the ancestor to break through your realm, but now you must pay the price for your actions." Ancestor Qitian said coldly, the mana in his hand erupting. The might of an Immortal King was not something ordinary people could withstand.

Even though Han Juntian had prepared, under Ancestor Qitian's devastating assault, he was forced back step by step, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Lin Fan was ready to act; he felt that the Sect Master seemed unable to hold on much longer.

"Sect Master, if you can't hold on, just say the word. Don't force it," Lin Fan shouted. He was truly afraid that the Sect Master would stubbornly endure for the sake of face, after all, once words were spoken, one had to follow through even if it meant kneeling.

Heaven and Earth Sect!

All the disciples stared at the screen in the void, their hearts tangled. They didn't know what would become of the Sect Master, nor whether he could hold on.

After all, the opponent was an Immortal King, and an old-established one at that, with profound mana and earth-shattering moves that were extraordinary.

Within the sect, some elders watched the scene on the screen, their emotions fluctuating with the situation.

"I wonder if the Sect Master can make it through. He has been preparing for the Immortal King realm for a long time."

"Judging by the current situation, Ancestor Qitian has murderous intent. Although he won't kill the Sect Master, he will surely shatter his foundation and cut off his path to Immortal King."

"The ancestors are definitely waiting. As long as the Sect Master can't hold on, they will surely intervene."

The fact that the Supreme Ancestors of Heaven and Earth Sect had not yet made a move meant they were also waiting. For now, Han Juntian could still hold on. If he couldn't later, these ancestors would certainly step in to save him. After all, he was the Sect Master of Heaven and Earth Sect; how could he be slain by an ancestor of Kunlun Divine Sect?

At the scene.

Tai Qiantian was stunned. He hadn't expected Han Juntian's strength to have reached such a level, able to hold on this long against Ancestor Qitian. If it were him, he didn't think he could have lasted this long.

Only under endless pressure could one be reborn from the flames, completely shatter one's own barriers, and reach a higher peak.

"Ancestor Qitian, is this all your strength?" At this moment, Han Juntian's face was blood-red, his blood surging violently. The pressure he bore was immense, but still far from enough. The shackles within him had loosened, but there was still a gap to the Immortal King realm.

"You're asking for death!" Ancestor Qitian roared, suddenly increasing his force, completely enveloping Han Juntian.

Crack!

The sound of shattering echoed between heaven and earth. Han Juntian had become a bloody figure, his skin horrifyingly cracked open.

"Haha!" At this moment, Han Juntian laughed wildly. "Ancestor Qitian, I'll rely on you to ascend to the Immortal King realm."

Just then, a red flame suddenly burst from Han Juntian's body.

"Rebirth from flames, supreme divine ability." Seeing this, Ancestor Qitian's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Han Juntian to possess such a divine ability.

"Rebirth from flames, peak state, gate of Immortal King, break!" Han Juntian let out a long cry, his aura soaring straight into the clouds, shattering the dark clouds in the void. A beam of immortal light pierced through, striking the immortal gate.

Boom!

The immortal gate swung open, and a ray of immortal light descended, completely enveloping Han Juntian.

At that moment, Ancestor Qitian understood.

"You were using me to push this divine ability to its peak."

Han Juntian smiled. He had been roaming through endless time and space, seeking this divine ability that could prove the path to Immortal King. Now, under the pressure from Ancestor Qitian, this divine ability had finally reached perfection.
