A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 1120: Madman

"I was enjoying a good nap, surely you didn't have to wake me up so unceremoniously," the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity yawned as he stretched lazily, while everyone looked on with tense expressions.

All of a sudden, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity turned to spit in the direction of the Eon Divine Lamp, and it seemed as if he had recalled some unpleasant memory as he yelled, "Tai Sui, you old dog! I've been trapped here for far too long because of you! Where is my son right now? Tell me where my son is or prepare to lay down your life, do you hear me?"

Han Li and the others were all flabbergasted to see this, struggling to draw a correlation between this emotionally unstable madman and the almighty devilish deity that had once terrorized an entire immortal region.

"You're not going to tell me? Fine, then I'll just have to make you!"

The Dark Heavens Devilish Deity pounced at the Eon Divine Lamp as he spoke.

With Daoist Master Dao Yin unconscious and the altar destroyed, the lamp was left to fend for itself, and it released layers of golden light to oppose the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.

The Dark Heavens Devilish Deity continued to curse loudly as he swung his fists at the Eon Divin Lamp, while black mist surged out of his entire body like a volcanic eruption, causing the entire palace to tremble violently.

Han Li could see an enormous figure rising up within the mist, and it seemed to the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity's true devilish form, except it seemed to be a projection, rather than an entity of substance.

Even so, the almighty aura erupting out of the cloud of black mist was still more than sufficiently awe-inspiring in its own right.

The projection seemed to have twelve arms, which it was swinging incessantly through the air in a relentless barrage of attacks aimed at the Eon Divine Lamp, causing it to tremble violently.

Large volumes of lamp oil spilled out in all directions, forming a golden sea of fire that swallowed up virtually the entire palace, forcing everyone to frantically retreat to the walls.

The entire palace continued to shudder violently, while the figure in the cloud of black mist maintained its ferocious barrage, and at the same time, bursts of devilish qi were rising up from its body before crashing into the roof of the palace above.

The Eon Divine Lamp remained unscathed, but the palace was beginning to give out.

Finally, the roof of the Eon Palace was blown apart amid a resounding boom, and everyone immediately flew out from within.

Lei Yuce was forced to abandon the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array as he hoisted the unconscious Daoist Master Dao Yin onto his back before fleeing the palace with Su Anqian and the other Almighty Sword Sect cultivators.

However, everyone had only just risen up into the air when an enormous black lotus flower restriction appeared outside the palace, encompassing the entire surrounding area within a radius of several dozen feet.

Every single one of the lotus flower's countless petals was over ten thousand feet tall, and a vast expanse of dark clouds was gathering up above, giving off the same aura as the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.

The Almighty Sword Sect cultivators had no choice but to continue to rise up into the heavens, and a burst of radiant swordlight erupted out of their bodies before fusing as one to form a giant, five-colored sword of light that struck the black lotus flower.

A loud clang rang out as the five-colored sword was shattered, while the black lotus flower remained completely unscathed.

"Stop causing a commotion! Just give me some peace and quiet!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity yelled in a disgruntled manner as he looked up from the Eon Divine Lamp, then made a grabbing motion up toward the sky, and a giant hand instantly descended from above, capturing all of the Almighty Sword Sect cultivators.

With a casual toss, the giant hand threw them heavily back down into the palace, following which tendrils of black mist rose up in the air, forming a series of powerful black whips that came crashing down upon the Almighty Sword Sect cultivators with unrivaled power.

"None of you are getting away after rousing me from my slumber!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity yelled, and Han Li and the others all flew back to the Eon Palace before hovering in the air above it.

Han Li raised an eyebrow at the sight of the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity's strange behavior, and he couldn't help but ask through voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist Wyrm 3, why does it feel like this Dark Heavens Devilish Deity isn't quite... all there?"

Wyrm 3 had no response for this.

Right at this moment, the cloud of black mist in the palace began to rapidly shrink, and it didn't take long before the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity was revealed again.

"What the hell is wrong with this thing? Why can't I break it?" he grumbled at the Eon Divine Lamp, which remained completely unscathed.

He then turned his gaze to the abandoned Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array, and an intrigued look appeared on his face as he murmured to himself, "What's this? It looks rather fun. Maybe I should take it for a spin..."

He then jumped into the array, while everyone else looked on with dazed expressions.

Upon entering the array, a puzzled look appeared on his face as he murmured to himself, "How do I use this thing again? Oh, I've got it!"

As soon as his voice trailed off, five bursts of immortal spiritual power erupted out of his body, forming five pillars of light that fell upon the five immortal treasures in the array.

In the span of no more than twenty seconds, he had completed a process of basic refinement on all five of the fourth-tier immortal treasures.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Immediately thereafter, he began to chant an incantation, and all of the immortal treasures instantly lit up. The Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array was operating again, and it conjured up a five-colored ball of light around the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.

Everyone was looking on with perplexed expressions, wondering what the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity was doing when he suddenly made a hand seal, and numerous streaks of light burst out of his hand before flying into the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array.

The five-colored ball of light conjured up by the array instantly began glowing even brighter, and a burst of bone-chilling destructive force began to spread through the interior of the light barrier.

An excited look appeared on the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity's face, and he only had time to give a yell of exultation before his body disintegrated into a cloud of black dust particles.

Everyone in the palace looked on in deathly silence, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed.

"Did he just... kill himself?" Fox 3 exclaimed in an incredulous manner.

"No, he's not dead, but he certainly is insane," Han Li sighed.

As soon as his voice trailed off, a cloud of black mist emerged within the ball of five-colored light, then condensed to reform the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity, and he was chortling with glee.

"It's been so long since I've taken a bath! Now..."

Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, his body disintegrated once again under another burst of destructive power released by the array, but it didn't take long before he was reformed again.

"I can bathe to my heart's content..." the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity continued where his previous sentence had left off, immediately following which his body exploded for a third time.

"There's definitely a few screws loose up there," Fox 3 communicated to Wyrm 3 and Han Li through voice transmission.

Everyone continued to watch as the cycle of destruction and reformation repeated itself over and over again, and with each rebirth, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity's body seemed to become more resilient, making it more and more difficult for the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array to destroy him.

The Dark Heavens Devilish Deity began to swim through the air in a leisurely fashion, alternating between the backstroke and the doggy paddle, and he was thoroughly enjoying himself, paying no heed to the fact that he had an audience.

As the attacks from the Five-Elemental Great Annihilation Array became less and less effective, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity began to grow bored, and he made a hand seal before raising his hands to the heavens, injecting another torrent of immortal spiritual power into the five immortal treasures, which glowed radiantly while releasing five bursts of light of different colors into the five-colored light barrier.

A burst of destructive power that was far more formidable than before surged through the light barrier, and the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity's body instantly exploded into dust.

At the same time, the five-colored light barrier began trembling incessantly as a series of fist-sized balls of five colored light split off from it before flying through the air in all directions.

The balls of light weren't very large, but all of them contained immense destructive power.

Han Li and the others certainly possess the physical constitution and cultivation base to match the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity, and they hurriedly took evasive measures to protect themselves.

A string of resounding booms rang out within the palace as its walls were blasted full of holes, and it didn't appear as if it would be able to stand for much longer.

Han Li had already flown back in retreat to get as far away from the remains of the Eon Palace as possible, but right at this moment, Qi Mozi suddenly appeared beside him with that black ax in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he swung the ax in Han Li's direction close to twenty times.

A flurry of black ax projections instantly swept directly toward Han Li, forcing him to channel his Reversal True Axis ability before rising up further into the air.

However, as he did so, a ball of five-colored light came hurtling directly toward him on an unavoidable collision path, placing him in a situation of dire peril.
