A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1364: On the Cusp of Battle

The ring of white light was riddled with all types of runes and countless star patterns, and it was giving off an extremely peculiar law aura that Han Li had never felt before, one that didn't seem to belong to any of the five elements, nor was it related to souls.

"I thought facing four Dao Ancestors at once would be quite a challenge, but it seems like I was wrong," Han Li remarked as he looked down upon the trio.

Zi Shan's expression remained unchanged as she turned to Meng Yuan and asked, "Are you still not ready?"

Meng Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils were glowing with the radiance of countless stars as he smiled and said, "I'm ready..."

......

Li Yuanjiu and the other members of the Seven Heavenly Dao Ancestors were finally beginning to display some concern at the scene that was unfolding before them, but Gu Huojin remained as relaxed and composed as ever.

"Shi Kongyu, our Heavenly Court and your Devil Realm have already signed a peace treaty! Are you trying to instigate a new war?" Dao Ancestor Bai Yun accused.

"Your Heavenly Court sent your forces into our Devil Realm and plundered countless resources while slaughtering our brethren in droves! This is the day that we exact our revenge!" the Devilish Monarch declared, and the devilish army behind him let loose a collective roar of fury.

As for the bad blood between the primordial land and the Heavenly Court, that required no further elaboration, and all of the primordial tribes were glowering at the cultivators in the Jade Lake Paradise with intense hatred in their eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Bai Ze and the others had instructed them to stay put, they would've already pounced on these detestable human cultivators.

Dao Ancestor Bai Yun surveyed the surrounding hostile forces with a hint of alarm in his eyes.

At the moment, he was the one running the Heavenly Court, and he had arranged everything related to this Bodhi Banquet.

The Jade Pond Paradise was situated deep within the Heavenly Court with countless layers of restrictions around it, transforming it into an impregnable fortress. On top of that, there were also many Dao Ancestors and Great Encompassment cultivators stationed here, so he had thought it to be an absolute safe haven.

It was for this reason that he had sent out the majority of the Heavenly Court's forces to deal with all of the attacks that the Reincarnation Palace was staging on the Middle Earth Immortal Region.

At the moment, there were many guards in the Heavenly Court, making it just about the worst possible time for a devilish and primordial infiltration.

Dao Ancestor Bai Yun swept his gaze over the banquet attendees as a contemplative look flashed through his eyes.

Even though the banquet attendees were far outnumbered by the forces of the Devil Realm and the primordial land, all of them were top-tier cultivators who stood at the pinnacle of their respective immortal regions.

Among them were over a hundred Great Encompassment cultivators, as well as the three Dao Ancestors in the form of True Lord Cang Wu's trio, so when it came to top-end power, the Heavenly Court still held the advantage.

With that in mind, Dao Ancestor Bai Yun was put slightly at ease as he turned to Gu Huojin to await further instructions.

Gu Huojin paid no heed to the Devilish Monarch or the primordial Dao Ancestors. Instead, he turned his gaze to the Reincarnation Palace Master, but right as he was about to say something, he suddenly reached out to make a grabbing motion with his right hand.

A giant, golden palm projection appeared several thousand feet to his right, then swooped down from above.

The space before it was instantly torn apart, and the Reincarnation Palace Master stumbled out from within, while the Reincarnation Palace Master that was still seated at his table slowly dissipated into nothingness.

The golden palm projection continued to swoop down upon the Reincarnation Palace Master, who threw a punch in retaliation after steadying himself.

A dark red, hexagonal plate appeared above his head, revolving rapidly while releasing a burst of tremendous suction force, and everyone in the Jade Pond Paradise felt as if their souls were about to be sucked out of their bodies.

The hexagonal plate appeared just in the nick of time to oppose the golden palm projection, and the two clashed with an earth-shattering boom, while dazzling golden and red light swept through the air in all directions.

Right at this moment, four figures appeared around the Reincarnation Palace Master without any warning, and they were none other than Li Yuanjiu, Chi Rong, Dao Ancestor Bai Yun, and the short elderly man with the red complexion.

Golden, crimson, white, and black light surged out of their bodies to form an incredibly dense four-colored light barrier, containing the Reincarnation Palace Master and the explosion of red and golden light.

The light barrier appeared nigh indestructible, and there were countless runes of four different colors swirling around inside.

In the face of the collective power of four Dao Ancestors, the Reincarnation Palace Master was struggling to even lift a finger, and it was as if there were a gargantuan mountain weighing down upon him.

Meanwhile, the golden and red light around him quickly dissipated before fusing into the runes swirling around within the light barrier.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, and only now did everyone fully comprehend what had just happened.

The Devilish Monarch and the three primordial Dao Ancestors immediately prepared to enter the fray, while Gu Huojin took a glance at Chen Ruyan and Yin Ming.

Chen Ruyan's brows furrowed slightly as she vanished from the spot, only to reappear before Bai Ze's trio an instant later, joined by that white-robed, middle-aged man with the frosty aura.

"I do not wish to fight you, so please don't force my hand," Chen Ruyan said as a layer of blue light surfaced over her body.

Deep within the blue light was an antiquated, blue stone gate that was giving off a primal aura, as if it had been in existence even before the creation of heaven and earth.

Within the gate were countless churning waves, and it didn't appear all that remarkable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one would be struck by the illusion that the stone gate had suddenly become infinitely massive, encompassing the entirety of heaven and earth, while the waves within threatened to inundate and crush anyone that dared to stand in their path.

"This is the Myriad Water Gate!"

Bai Ze, Yue Mian, and the bald man all stopped in their tracks as wary looks appeared on their faces.

Meanwhile, Yin Ming appeared before the devilish army without any warning, and the Devilish Monarch also drew to a halt.

However, the rotund woman beside him continued onward without pause, and a massive, black mace that was even taller than herself appeared in her grasp before being swung through the air.

The black mace swelled drastically in size to form an enormous, black shadow that came crashing down upon Yin Ming with unmatched power, and the Devilish Monarch's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but he made no effort to stop her.

Meanwhile, Yin Ming remained completely still on the spot, allowing the black mace to strike him head-on.

His body instantly exploded upon contact, only to disintegrate into a vast cloud of black smoke.

The rotund woman faltered slightly upon seeing this, then gave a cold harrumph as she swept her mace through the air, conjuring up a gust of fierce wind to scatter the black smoke.

However, right at this moment, a dazed look suddenly appeared in her eyes, following which a horrified look surfaced on her face, and she let loose a blood-curdling scream, as if she had fallen into some type of illusion.

At the same time, she swung her mace wildly through the air, unleashing countless mace projections that swept through the air in all directions.

The three devilish Dao Ancestors that were about to enter the fray all stopped in their tracks upon seeing this, while the Devilish Monarch's expression darkened slightly as he swept a sleeve through the air.

Countless ripples instantly appeared in the space around the rotund woman, and all of the mace projections, as well as the mace itself, were sucked into the spatial ripples.

Despite the rotund woman's best efforts, she was unable to free her mace from the spatial ripples, and before long, half of her body had also been inundated.

Immediately thereafter, the Devilish Monarch appeared before her, then pressed a finger against her glabella, and a hint of lucidity quickly returned to her eyes, while the irrational horror faded away.

"Thank you, Devilish Monarch," she said in a grateful manner while panting heavily.

The Devilish Monarch swept a sleeve through the air, and all of the surrounding spatial ripples faded away, while the rotund woman turned to discover that Yin Ming was still standing in his original position, seemingly having not even moved a single step.
