Chapter 1374: The Show is About to Begin

The enormous wave collapsed into a vast wall of water, only to reform a new wave that was even more massive and powerful than its predecessor.

The saber projections and pillars of black light sliced through one wave after another, but these waves were able to recover very quickly and return with even more power than before.

The two devilish Dao Ancestors were relentlessly unleashing attacks, but ultimately, they were overwhelmed by the never-ending barrage of waves, and all of their attacks were quickly inundated and overwhelmed.

After devouring their attacks, the massive waves continued onward, crashing into the two devilish Dao Ancestors to send them flying back with tremendous force.

The two devilish Dao Ancestors quickly steadied themselves, but as they were about to resume their assault, they discovered that Chen Ruyan had already retreated to a considerable distance away.

"The outcome of our battle is hardly of consequence, so why don't we save our energy and wait for the outcome of the battle that truly matters," Chen Ruyan proposed with a faint smile.

"Never!" the seductive woman yelled with intense envy in her eyes, and she raised her purple saber as she prepared to lash out once again.

"This is not an unreasonable proposition from her, Sister He Lan. I also think we should conserve our energy and wait for the outcome of the Devilish Monarch's battle," the rotund woman said as she reverted back to her human form.

He Lan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she reluctantly lowered her saber, but both of them continued to keep a close eye on Chen Ruyan to prevent her from getting away.

A faint smile lingered on Chen Ruyan's face as she stood in silence and cast her gaze in Gu Huojin's direction.

Almost at the exact same moment, Dao Ancestor Yin Ming also suddenly drifted back in retreat as he said, "The show is about to begin over there, fellow daoists. This is certainly not something that happens every day, do you not want to take a look?"

The massive zombie and the yellow-robed man exchanged a glance with one another, and neither of them said anything, but they didn't unleash any further attacks, either.

In contrast, the battle that was raging between Bai Ze's trio and the three Heavenly Court Dao Ancestors was only becoming more and more fierce by the second.

Dao Ancestor Bai Yun's trio was very alarmed to see the formidable encirclement that had taken shape around Gu Huojin, and they were frantically trying to disengage themselves from their battle against Bai Ze's trio to rush to Gu Huojin's aid, but the three primordial Dao Ancestors naturally wasn't going to allow that to happen.

At this point, all three of them had already adopted their true forms.

Bai Ze had transformed into a majestic, white, horse-like beast with a pair of horns on his head and a goatee under his chin, and almighty white storms were surging out of his mouth.

Yue Mian had transformed into the Sky Roaming Kun Peng, and there were countless arcs of lightning flashing over his body.

As for the bald man, he had transformed into a mountainous, black, fish-like beast that completely dwarfed even Bai Ze and Yue Mian's true forms.

The black beast was very hideous in appearance, and its most noteworthy feature was its mouth, which was enormous and took up virtually half of its entire head.

Within the cavernous mouth was a boundless expanse of inky darkness that was giving off tremendous suction force, looking as if it were the entrance to another world.

Anything that drifted too close to the almighty beast was instantly sucked into its mouth, and even the nearby space was being devoured.

The six of them were all Dao Ancestors, and they were quite evenly matched when it came to law powers, but Bai Ze's trio were all true spirits with tremendous physical constitutions, so they were able to withstand the frantic attacks from Dao Ancestor Bai Yun's trio without backing down in the slightest.

"You wish to kill me, is that right?" Gu Huojin asked in a casual manner, seemingly completely unconcerned by the predicament that he had found himself in.

"You only have yourself to blame for your greed," the Devilish Monarch said in a cold voice.

"Greed? I only wanted to see exactly what lied at the end of this world. Have none of you ever considered pursuing the same objective?" Gu Huojin asked as he secretly crushed a ring that he was wearing on one of his fingers.

"Don't give him time to use any of his tricks!" the Reincarnation Palace Master yelled, seemingly having detected something, and he thrust a palm toward Gu Huojin.

A dark red ghostly deity that was clad in a suit of bone armor instantly appeared, and bursts of reincarnation law powers were circling around it, producing a loud rumbling sound.

The ghostly deity thrust its palm forward, and lashing out at Gu Huojin's head, and the Devilish Monarch and the others also sprang into action upon seeing this, with all of them unleashing their most powerful attacks from the get-go.

The space within a radius of thousands of kilometers was shattered violently as radiant, golden light, near-transparent flames of hell, insubstantial black shadows, and dazzling starlight filled the entire area.

Everyone in the Jade Pond Paradise, including the devilish and primordial armies, had already fled to thousands of kilometers away in a panic, but some were not able to get away in time and had been erased from existence.

After evacuating to a safe distance away, everyone turned back to stare from afar, not daring to get any closer.

The ultimate showdown had finally begun. As the Time Dao Ancestor and the leader of the Seven Heavenly Dao Lords, Gu Huojin had stood at the pinnacle of the laws of time for countless years, and his power was unmatched.

Among the seven assailants that he had been surrounded by, the Reincarnation Palace Master and the Devilish Monarch were the foremost masters of the other two paramount laws, and they weren't as formidable as Gu Huojin, but they could compete with him in terms of their caliber of their law powers.

As for the remaining five, they were also certainly not to be scoffed at, and even though their law powers couldn't contend with Gu Huojin's time law powers, with the laws of reincarnation and space on their side, they most definitely stood a fighting chance.

Everyone was looking on with bated breath, waiting to see which side would come out on top.

All of the space around Gu Huojin instantly collapsed violently, and it was as if the entire sky were about to fall upon him.

A serious look finally appeared on his face as he made a hand seal, and the patterns all over his body and his wheelchair began to glow with golden radiance before transforming into a suit of golden armor, the breastplate of which featured a massive dragon design.

The dragon design was formed by countless scales, and plumes of golden flames were erupting out of its mouth.

The attacks from the Reincarnation Palace Master and the others descended upon him as soon as the suit of golden armor took shape, and seven bursts of indescribably formidable law powers clashed against the time law powers around him.

The seven bursts of law powers fell stagnant for just a split second upon coming into contact with Gu Huojin's law powers, but it was precisely in this split second window that Gu Huojin abruptly launched himself upward as a streak of golden light.

The streak of golden light tore through the restrictive cocoon formed by the seven bursts of law powers, but Gu Huojin's suit of golden armor was also destroyed in the process.

Hovering high up in the sky, a vast expanse of golden light began to emanate from Gu Huojin's body, and in the blink of an eye, the suit of golden armor returned, as if it had never sustained any damage in the first place.

"Gu Huojin is able to reverse time, so normal attacks won't be able to inflict lasting damage upon him," the Reincarnation Palace Master said.

"That is indeed a troublesome ability, but how many times can he unleash it in his current state?" the Devilish Monarch sneered, and as soon as his voice trailed off, the space around Gu Huojin suddenly began to glow a bright silver, and he was abruptly rooted to the spot.

"This is our chance! I've frozen the space around him!" the Devilish Monarch yelled, and his six comrades instantly sprang into action as five spirit domains appeared around Gu Huojin one on top of the other, exerting an even more potent restrictive force upon him.

However, the Reincarnation Palace Master hadn't made a move, and a perplexed look had appeared on his face.

"All of your efforts are futile," Gu Huojin said with a faint smile, and countless rays of golden light erupted out of his suit of armor, slicing into the frozen space around him.

The nearby space and the restrictive forces acting upon him from the opposing spirit domains were all eradicated, and after freeing himself, Gu Huojin swung around like lightning before making a grabbing motion toward his seven assailants.

A mountainous, golden fist projection appeared out of thin air, and this one was far more formidable than any fist projection that he had previously unleashed.

"He's using that same attack again! Gu Huojin can't be far away from being assimilated by the Heavenly Dao at this point, so all we have to do is wear him down until the Heavenly Dao claims him!" the Devilish Monarch said in a cold voice.

"This is an opportunity that won't come around again, so we have to take full advantage," Yin Chengquan urged.

Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Palace Master was only growing more perplexed.

What is he up to? It feels like he's been stalling this entire time...

Despite his reservations, the Reincarnation Palace Master still combined his powers with his six comrades to eradicate the golden fist projection, following which all seven of them rushed toward Gu Huojin in unison.
