A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1380: Collaborative Effort

The Devilish Monarch's robes were in tatters, giving him a rather disheveled appearance, and an incredulous look appeared on his face at the sight of Han Li.

After rescuing the Devilish Monarch, Han Li continued to scour his surroundings with his Infernal Devilish Eyes in an attempt to track down Gu Huojin, but it was as if he had truly vanished, and not even the slightest hint of his aura was left behind.

"Gu Huojin's trying to stall for time," the Reincarnation Palace Master said with tightly furrowed brows as he cast his gaze toward the ever-expanding chaotic vortex.

Now that he was in such close proximity to the Reincarnation Palace Master, the spiritual connection between them seemed to have grown even stronger, and he was able to sense what the Reincarnation Palace Master was about to say even before the words had left his mouth.

With that in mind, he couldn't help but wonder if the Reincarnation Palace Master could also see his thoughts.

"What do we do? Is there a way to force him out of hiding?" the Devilish Monarch asked.

"Fellow Daoist Han has mastered Miro's Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra. If we combine our three paramount law powers, we may be able to break Gu Huojin's spirit domain," the Reincarnation Palace Master said.

"Your condition is already less than ideal. If you continue using your reincarnation law powers, even if we manage to defeat Gu Huojin, there's a good chance you'll be claimed by the Heavenly Dao," the Devilish Monarch cautioned.

"That's still a better outcome than going down with this world. At this point, we have no choice but to go all out!" the Reincarnation Palace Master replied.

As soon as his voice trailed off, he summoned his dark red spirit domain again to overlap with Han Li's spirit domain.

The two spirit domains shuddered in unison, and both of them began to glow far brighter than before.

This was not an unfamiliar sight to Han Li. The same type of spirit domain resonance had previously been observed between his and Gan Jiuzhen's spirit domains, but on this occasion, the two spirit domains were resonating with a far higher level of harmony.

As the two spirit domains completely fused as one, the mountains in Han Li's spirit domain swelled rapidly in size to form gargantuan peaks, while the river of time transformed into a raging sea.

The same thing had taken place in the Reincarnation Palace Master's spirit domain, but he didn't appear surprised at all to see this.

"How is this happening?" Han Li asked through his and the Reincarnation Palace Master's spiritual connection.

"In a sense, you and I are still the same person, so it's naturally very easy for law resonance to take place between us. On top of that, you've also fully mastered the Spirit Refinement Technique, allowing you to establish spiritual connections with others, thereby making law resonance even easier to achieve, so this is far from surprising," the Reincarnation Palace Master explained.

Han Li was enlightened upon hearing this, and he realized that this had to have been another reason why the Reincarnation Palace Master had bestowed the Spirit Refinement Technique upon him.

The Reincarnation Palace Master could sense Han Li's apprehension, and he communicated, "I bear no ill will toward you, Fellow Daoist Han. Everything I did was for the sake of bringing down Gu Huojin. If you can help me accomplish that objective, I'm willing to hand over full control of the Reincarnation Palace to you." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"I don't even know if we'll be able to survive past today, so we'll discuss that another time," Han Li replied with a shake of his head.

Through their spiritual connection, he could sense that the Reincarnation Palace Master's offer had been made in earnest, but he didn't have much interest in power.

Furthermore, even if it weren't for the Reincarnation Palace Master's sake, he still had to defeat Gu Huojin as there could only be one Time Dao Ancestor.

Furthermore, exacting vengeance for Patriarch Miro also served as an additional incentive.

With that in mind, Han Li made a hand seal, and his time spirit domain swelled even further in size as a series of swords of golden light came flying out from within, every single one of which was imbued with immense power.

The Reincarnation Palace Master could sense Han Li's resolve through their spiritual connection, and he was very glad that they were on the same page.

Bursts of dark red light shot out of his spirit domain at his behest, then intertwined with the swords of golden light flying out of Han Li's spirit domain.

Thanks to their spiritual connection, they were able to work in perfect synchronicity, and their law powers were also combining together in a seamless fashion.

All of the golden swords instantly swelled rapidly to dozens of times their original size while also becoming clearer and more substantial.

A series of dark red spirit patterns appeared over the golden swords as they became infused with reincarnation law powers, and they erupted in all directions to slice through Gu Huojin's spirit domain.

One massive gash after another was easily torn into the spirit domain, reducing it to tattered rag.

A stunned look appeared on the Devilish Monarch's face upon seeing this, and he hurriedly conjured up more of the same silver giants from earlier before detonating them to send bursts of destructive spatial powers sweeping through the surrounding, golden spirit domain.

As one of the three paramount laws, his spatial powers were also resonating with Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master's law powers to a certain extent, and before long, Gu Huojin's spirit domain was on the verge of collapse.

The golden light inside was frantically trying to mend the rifts that had been torn into the spirit domain, but to no avail.

Encouraged by the progress that they had made, Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master redoubled their efforts, and countless swords of golden light shot forth to strike at the already severely ravaged spirit domain.

Finally, the golden spirit domain completely disintegrated into a vast expanse of golden light, and Gu Huojin was revealed, but much to the surprise of Han Li's trio, the entire lower half of his body had already vanished into the chaotic vortex.

Furthermore, a series of chaotic patterns had appeared over his skin, including his face, presenting a harrowing sight to behold.

The Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devilish Monarch were stunned to see this, while Han Li looked up into the sky with a thoughtful expression.

Ever since reaching the Great Encompassment Stage, he had constantly felt as if there were some type of invisible force weighing down on him from above, as if an insurmountable obstacle stood between him and further advancement in the laws of time.

The presence of Gu Huojin at the pinnacle of the laws of time had made it impossible for any other cultivator of time law powers to reach the same heights, but in this moment, Han Li felt as if this insurmountable obstacle had suddenly disappeared.

Could it be...

A hint of excitement welled up in Han Li's heart as a possibility occurred to him.

"You're too late! I've already become one with the Great Dao and attained the laws of chaos! I'm completely impervious to your law powers now!" Gu Huojin guffawed in a deranged manner as his composed facade completely slipped away.

An almighty, all-encompassing aura erupted out of his body, and there were all types of different law power fluctuations emanating from within, the most prominent of which was still his original time law powers.

"He's gone insane!" the Devilish Monarch exclaimed.

"He's most likely not in a sound state of mind as he's still yet to gain full control over the power of chaos in his body. We don't have any time to waste! If he manages to attain full mastery over the laws of chaos, then even our combined powers will be no match for him," the Reincarnation Palace Master said in an urgent manner, then immediately launched himself at Gu Huojin, followed closely by Han Li and the Devilish Monarch.

Gu Huojin turned to them with a deranged expression as he swept both sleeves through the air, and countless brown arrow projections came hurting out of the chaotic vortex, every single one of which was over a thousand feet in length and as thick as a millstone.

These arrow projections were also imbued with different law powers, but only four types, two of which were space and time, which were distinctly separate, while the other two had fused as one, making them rather difficult to distinguish, but they seemed to have been the laws of wind and lightning.

Both the laws of wind and lightning were geared toward speed, and this quality was further enhanced by the laws of space and time, granting the arrow projections incredible speed that allowed them to reach Han Li's trio in an instant.

The three of them were caught off guard by the astonishing speed of the oncoming projectiles, yet right as the arrow projections were about to strike them, the Devilish Monarch abruptly appeared before Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master before making a hand seal.

All of the space within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers instantly fell completely still at his behest, and all of the arrow projections were brought to a halt.

However, in the next instant, four bursts of law powers erupted out of the arrow projections in unison to shatter the stagnant space, and they continued to race through the air.

This brief window of respite was enough for Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master to react to the situation, and they combined the powers of their spirit domains to send a flurry of golden sword projections flying toward the oncoming arrow projections.

Golden, dark red, and brown light erupted in all directions amid a string of deafening booms, causing the surrounding space to ripple violently, and even the chaotic vortex had begun churning incessantly.

The brown arrow projections were extremely formidable, but they were no match for the combination of Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master's law powers, and all of the arrow projections were quickly eradicated, but many of the golden sword projections had also been shattered in the process.

Han Li and the Reincarnation Palace Master were injecting their immortal spiritual power and law powers into their spirit domains with no reservation, and the two spirit domains expanded rapidly toward Gu Huojin while releasing countless more golden sword projections.

At the same time, the Devilish Monarch appeared out of thin air on the other side of Gu Huojin before pointing a finger at him, and a series of silver rifts appeared in the space up ahead.

These silver rifts were giving off far more fearsome spatial law powers than normal spatial rifts, and all of them converged toward Gu Huojin at the Devilish Monarch's behest.
