Yaochi, a scene of unsurpassed beauty.

Explosions echoed continuously in the void. The Demon Lord hovered in the air, hands forming incantations, spatial laws fluctuating wildly around him. Eighty-one black sharp cones levitated before him, their surfaces flashing with runes and emitting a dim, eerie light.

"Go."

The Demon Lord roared, thrusting his palms forward with sudden force.

The eighty-one black sharp cones shot away, instantly vanishing into the void.

The next moment, a series of muffled thunderclaps erupted above the nine heavens. The eighty-one black sharp cones abruptly transformed into eighty-one towering pillars, encircling the chaotic vortex and forming a spatial grand formation, sealing it within the center.

Around the spatial grand formation, clear spatial cracks appeared, as if a region had been forcefully carved out of this realm, severing all connections with the rest of the world, creating an independent space.

The Demon Clan's method of creating the Demon Realm back then was similar, except it wasn't achieved by the Demon Lord's power alone. Instead, his law power served as a guide, gathering almost all the strength of the entire Demon Clan at the time.

Now, he used the eighty-one Heaven Sealing Pillars he had refined as the foundation, setting up this Heaven Sealing Grand Formation. Its power couldn't compare to creating the Demon Realm, but it was sufficient to seal this mere million-mile radius area.

"Demon Lord, your methods are quite good, attempting to isolate me and the Dao God Grand Formation from the world. But ultimately, you're being too small-minded," Gu Huojin said mockingly, quickly understanding the Demon Lord's intention.

With that, he opened one hand, a simple and unadorned rune appearing in his palm. He pointed it at one of the surrounding Heaven Sealing Pillars.

The rune in his palm instantly erupted with brilliant golden light, transforming into a solid golden beam that shot toward the Heaven Sealing Pillar, arriving in an instant.

"Don't even think about it!" A roar echoed at this moment.

The figure of the Lord of Reincarnation Hall abruptly appeared before the Heaven Sealing Pillar, raising a hand to form a hand seal, immediately causing a ring-shaped dark red light screen to appear before him.

Six balls of light, each with a different color, were visible on the ring, each with a rune floating in the center.

The Time Dao Ancestor's sharp golden beam struck the center of the ring light screen, causing a violent tremor. All of its power was directly absorbed by the ring, turning into a soft, strange light that traveled through the six light balls before dissipating.

"Reincarnation... Annihilation." The Lord of Reincarnation Hall formed an incantation with one hand, pressing the other on the ring light screen, letting out a roar.

As soon as his voice fell, a soaring red light lit up behind him. Strands of law power solidified, flowing through his body and surging into the ring light screen.

The six light balls on the ring light screen, the six runes at the very center, lit up one after another. The entire ring light screen instantly expanded a hundredfold, a huge dark red light ball condensing at the center, suddenly striking toward Gu Huojin.

The dark red light ball was surrounded by blood-colored mist, containing the power of reincarnation karma accumulated by the Lord of Reincarnation Hall for millions of years. When it flew within a hundred miles of Gu Huojin, it suddenly exploded.

A wave of blood-colored mist, like a tidal surge or avalanche, directly rushed toward Gu Huojin.

The latter was prepared for this, already having created a layer of time barrier in front of him. Anything that approached would be frozen in time, unable to pass through.

However, when the blood-colored mist surged onto the layer of golden light, there was no obstruction at all, and it passed straight through.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Huojin's eyes. He quickly rolled up his sleeves, attempting to disperse the mist with a strong wind, but when he stirred it, the blood mist directly condensed into a wisp, like an arrow, and flew directly into his sleeve.

In an instant, Gu Huojin's body was covered in blood mist.

He only felt a momentary sluggishness in his body, and the arm used to activate the grand formation could not be raised, and hung down directly.

"What means are you using?" Gu Huojin looked at the Lord of Reincarnation Hall and couldn't help but ask.

"Reincarnation karma is beyond time. Your time law power cannot stop it... Moreover, this karma was created by the Heavenly Court under your command. I have only gathered it in one place and returned it to you." The Lord of Reincarnation Hall smiled.

"You want me to repay with this little bit of karma... Lord, aren't you being a little too naive?" Gu Huojin sneered.

With that, golden light lit up on his body, strands of golden light like swimming fish circling around him. He seemed to be bathing in the river of time, washing away the karma bit by bit.

Seeing this, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall showed no impatience in his eyes, but instead revealed a smile.

At the same time, his hands formed incantations quickly in front of him, and a void light rune formation began to appear out of thin air beneath Gu Huojin.

On the other side, the Demon Lord also acted in tacit agreement, casting a spell at the same time.

The eighty-one Heaven Sealing Pillars instantly shone brightly, making a "clang" sound. Eighty-one black crystal light chains shot out, firmly binding Gu Huojin in place.

After the chains were placed on him, the space outside Gu Huojin was instantly locked down. The river of time, which should not be subject to spatial barriers, could no longer continue to flow and came to a halt.

"It's up to you..." The Demon Lord shouted.

In the void behind Gu Huojin, the shadow of the Heavenly Demon Dao Ancestor, Yinming, appeared out of thin air, instantly stretching dozens of feet and coiling around Gu Huojin.

"Supreme, I will take your divine soul..." Yinming's shadow-like face, no more than three feet away from Gu Huojin's face, said with a sneer.

After witnessing the Time Dao Ancestor's scheming methods, he agreed to the Lord of Reincarnation Hall's and Demon Lord's joint proposal almost without hesitation. The two were responsible for imprisoning Gu Huojin, and he was responsible for devouring the other party's divine soul.

As long as he successfully devoured Gu Huojin's divine soul, Yinming himself could not imagine how much his strength would skyrocket. Stopping the Time Dao Ancestor's plot would definitely not be difficult, and even eliminating the Lord of Reincarnation Hall and the Demon Lord in one breath might not be impossible.

At the thought of the figure standing at the pinnacle of the three Supreme Laws being destroyed in his hands, Yinming felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

He raised his body high and plunged headfirst toward Gu Huojin's brow.

As long as he entered the sea of consciousness, Gu Huojin would have no chance of winning.

"Dong..."

A sound like a bronze bell rang suddenly from Gu Huojin's brow, and golden ripples spread out from his sea of consciousness, directly colliding with the oncoming Yinming.

Yinming felt a surge of heat all over his body, and the essence in his body began to burn uncontrollably.

"No, impossible..." Yinming panicked, and his body flashed with light as he tried to fly away from Gu Huojin.

However, at this moment, a large hand had broken free from its restraints and grabbed his throat.

"On the path of exploring the Great Dao, I have gone farther than all of you combined. You should not underestimate me so much," Gu Huojin said slowly.

With that, a time law power that was completely different from before radiated from his palm, rotating violently like a golden millstone, directly grinding Yinming's body into powder, completely dissipating it into the world.

At the same time, the layer of blood-colored mist covering him peeled off piece by piece like old paint, and dissipated into smoke before it could even fall to the ground.

Seeing this, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall's palm that was forming an incantation split open on its own, and a drop of essence blood poured into the palm. His body suddenly shone brightly.

Correspondingly, the void light rune formation beneath Gu Huojin shone brightly and soared into the sky.

In the rune light, it was as if an opening to the underworld had been created, revealing a blood-colored space and transmitting sounds of heart-wrenching roars.

There were countless blood-colored figures, stacked on top of each other, climbing toward this opening. But no matter how hard they struggled, they could never climb out of the opening.

And there was an incomparably powerful tearing force in the opening, pulling at Gu Huojin, trying to drag him into it.

"Petty tricks..."

Gu Huojin muttered and pointed downward with his fingers. A spiral gray light fell from the chaotic vortex above his head and crashed directly into the opening.

The blood-colored space within the cave was instantly disturbed by an incomparably powerful force. Countless blood-colored figures did not have time to react and were crushed into powder, rising spirally along with the gray light and converging into the chaotic vortex.

The chaotic vortex, which had stopped expanding earlier, actually expanded again.

Seeing this, the Lord of Reincarnation Hall's expression sank, and he changed the incantation in his hands, removing the spell. The rune light formation then slowly shrank, and the blood-colored cave also disappeared again.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord exchanged a glance with the Lord of Reincarnation Hall. The expressions in their eyes became extremely complicated.

"You seem to finally be afraid..." Gu Huojin chuckled, raising the golden light-condensed palm and brushing it over the crystal light chains wrapped around his body.

All the crystal light chains instantly decayed and broke, turning into dust and disappearing.

"The law power contained in this Dao God Grand Formation is the chaos law that existed when the world first opened. It is a true creation law, far older than the three Supreme Laws. It can be said that all the laws of heaven were born from chaos. So, do you think it is useful to isolate it with space law power?" Gu Huojin asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the Demon Lord's expression became extremely ugly.

The next moment, a deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded in the chaotic vortex above the three of them. The vortex, which was like gray mist and clouds, suddenly expanded and swallowed the eighty-one Heaven Sealing Pillars.

"The time has come. No one can stop it. Let's welcome the arrival of this grand era together," Gu Huojin said loudly.

"Boom boom boom..."

Rumbling sounds continued to ring out, and the huge chaotic vortex continued to expand. The void at its edges shattered continuously and was submerged into the vortex's gray light.

The flow of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the entire Heavenly Palace Continent became extremely chaotic in an instant. All law power seemed to be interfered with, and all the rules that the heaven and earth had been running for endless years were broken at this moment.

The already dilapidated Yaochi no longer floated in the air, but fell straight toward the Heavenly Palace Continent. But before it could land, it began to disintegrate and split apart in the air.

Li Yuanji and the other survivors stabilized their bodies and flew toward the ground.

But before they could land, the Heavenly Palace Continent beneath them began to split into ravines and fissures that could not be seen to the end. Almost all the volcanoes erupted violently at the same time, and the sea on the edge of the land surged back, creating a scene of world destruction everywhere.

"Enjoy the last scene of the old world..." Gu Huojin said slowly, his eyes filled with fanatical color.

The Demon Lord sighed in his heart, frowned deeply, and looked at the Lord of Reincarnation Hall.

Although the latter's expression was equally ugly, there was still a look of thought in his eyes. It seemed that he had no intention of giving up.
