Chapter 805 799: Streaks of Bad Luck, Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns
Golden flames scorched the surroundings, revealing Jia Ren's black-golden flesh.
The collision of Unity Force and the hidden power of the Great Dao followed by complete incineration; it takes ten parts of Unity Force to barely extinguish the corresponding amount of golden flames.
This is why all the Bizarre Demons dissolved under the Golden Crow Flame, leaving only Jia Ren to survive alone.
The gaze of both Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses converged, like thorns on his back; an unprecedented sense of crisis surged forth.
He only felt his scalp tingling, utterly helpless in his heart.
If I say I'm just passing through, will you believe me?
Continue your battle; there's no need to mind me...
Due to Jia Ren's exposure, the impending Dao Ancestor-level war underwent a 180-degree transformation.
The two powerhouses ceased their fight, observing this disruptor with interest.
Jinyang Demon Saint was filled with astonishment: "Oh? You can actually withstand my Jinyang Sacred Fire?"
Jinyang Sacred Fire is catastrophic to those below the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm; only those at the Daluo Golden Immortal level and above are qualified to resist.
The opponent is not as simple as they appear.
A powerhouse with the level of Daluo Golden Immortal Realm is hidden here; what are they plotting?!
Jinyang Demon Saint snorted coldly, taking the initiative to attack.
The jumping flames seemed to freeze, changing properties to become incredibly sticky; the temperature of the flames climbed at an astonishing speed.
The flesh slowly dissolved as Unity Force struggled to resist the overbearing onslaught of the flames.
Previously, it was just the aftermath of power; this time, the potency was incomparable to before.
Jia Ren found himself in the anomaly of the Jinyang Sacred Fire, his movement slowed, resembling a snail's pace.
Wanting to escape in this state is as hard as ascending to heaven.
He did not wish to battle the two Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses.
The charred, black flesh underwent transformation, and under the burn of Jinyang Sacred Fire, it shimmered with dots of gold.
Golden wings spread in the flames; in no time, they transformed into a Golden Crow.
The aura and vibrant power matched that of Jinyang Demon Saint, as if a weaker version.
The Law simulated the Yang Principle, resisting the Great Dao of Yang within the flames.
The difference in potency between the Law and the Great Dao is like the gap between clouds and mud; when Laws reach extremity, they possess the capability to stand against Dao-level forces; those at the Immortal Monarch level cannot compete, continuously losing ground.
The only advantage is, when facing the surging Jinyang Sacred Fire, the resistance increases, diminishing the power by two-thirds or so, with speed several times faster than before.
Jinyang Demon Saint: ???
If it weren't for the fact that the opponent transformed into a Golden Crow right before his eyes, certainly would not have expected it to be a transformation.
Everything, from aura to bloodline, demon power, laws...all appeared genuine, hard to distinguish between real and fake.
"Thousand Transformations Rule?"
"Hmph, daring to turn into a Golden Crow?! Die!"
The power of Jinyang Sacred Fire skyrocketed, unleashing terrifying force far beyond the initial scale.
Jinyang Demon Saint was enraged, abandoning prior casualness; a deathly crisis loomed.
What to do?
If unable to resolve the trouble, not to mention the exposure of his secrets, escaping from the hands of two Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses would be challenging.
The most unacceptable thing is...Jinyang Demon Saint's demon energy is pure, not a Peculiar Path Demon Saint, yet chose to strike against 'allies', eager to kill him as soon as possible.
Those unaware might think this is the real adversary, the protagonist of the war.
You are too troublesome!
If it were not for the Miscellaneous Feather Bird's intervention, he would have long since vanished without a trace.
Turning back to the origin of the bizarre power, the second protagonist of this battle became the 'miscellaneous fish' observing.
Pull back the animosity between the two, the Dao Ancestors clashed; only then could there be a chance of survival.
Thinking of this, Jia Ren no longer fled south; suddenly accelerating, he charged towards the Corrupted Dao Ancestor.
"Lord Dao Bizarre, I'm willing to convert to the Bizarre Path."
"My ability to undergo Thousand Transformations is most suitable to break into the Immortal's lair, destroy the foundation of the Immortal Path."
Allowing the Corrupted Dao Ancestor to remain a spectator, the corpse would turn cold.
The best approach is to forcibly drag the observing Dao Ancestor of Bizarre Path into the fray.
Jia Ren had only traveled halfway when the intensity of his flesh dissolving increased, exposing black-golden flesh and skeleton.
With the destruction of flesh, rapid regeneration occurred, presenting an oddly bizarre scene.
Jinyang Sacred Fire was aggressive as flames, continually conquering, and the body experienced cycles of destruction and rebirth.
Without break, there's no establishment; break and then establish.
Seizing fortune from misfortune, Jia Ren's Unity Force underwent deep integration with his body, saving over a thousand years.
The Thousand Transformations ability's disguise potency is formidable indeed, a rarity among talents.
Dying at Jinyang Demon Saint's hands would certainly be a great regret.
The Corrupted Dao Ancestor, knowing the other wanted to leverage his power, still chose to act.
Under the reflects of black-green light, everything transformed, under his control.
Corruption planted into the target's body after polluting, rooted deeply, fears no rebellion or escape from the opponent.
The black-green light and enveloping Jinyang Sacred Fire clashed, like spear against grain tip, their power endlessly emerging and vanishing.
The arena of the two Dao Ancestors turned into Jia Ren's body; the unleashed power of the two erupted unrestrictedly; the right side was cloaked in black-green, bizarre and malevolent.
The left burned with golden flames, perpetually flickering; the forces engaged in a tug-of-war.
Jia Ren strained to maintain his body, charging toward the area where the Corrupted Dao Ancestor resides.
Compared to Jinyang Demon Saint's Jinyang Sacred Fire, the Corrupted Dao Ancestor's bizarre corruption is easier to deal with.
Choosing the lesser threat, seeking a sliver of hope for survival.
Humph!
A cold voice echoed, a streak of golden light flashed; the terrifying high temperature came forth.
Scorching blades sliced through, dividing the fleeing body at the waist.
Golden flames devoured the remaining body, swiftly engulfing it.
Jinyang Demon Saint was unsatisfied with just wielding power's influence; he personally intervened.
"Substitute Calamity!"
The next moment, Jia Ren appeared dozens of miles away, his body, which had been sliced in two, was restored, and a single monkey hair was left in the original spot, swiftly consumed by the Jinyang Sacred Fire.
The attention of Dao Bizarre and Jinyang Demon Saint was caught by the monkey hair, momentarily stunned.
"Xuantian Celestial Clan?!"
"How could there still be Xuantian Celestial Clan in the Immortal Realm?!"
Jia Ren wasn't a Daluo Golden Immortal, not a peer-level powerhouse like them. They had thought he was someone proving the Dao by strength, but unexpectedly, he was from the Xuantian Celestial Clan!
What could the Xuantian Celestial Clan's purpose possibly be?
The Space Force surged within Jia Ren's body, and he performed the Great Thousand Shifting Escape toward the polluted and corrupted north.
He vanished, shifting over twenty million miles away.
His body simultaneously suffered the erosion of two forces of corruption, his right eye gleaming gold, and his left eye deep black. At the collision point of the two forces, blood and flesh with obliterated will continued to fall away.
The black-golden Unity Force flowed, forming a solid barrier to block the deeper invasion of the Corrupted Dao Ancestor's power and Jinyang Sacred Fire.
Jia Ren hesitated for a moment, not using Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force to resolve the Bizarre Qi, so as not to expose his peculiar nature.
The danger hadn't dissipated; golden light and the corrupt, degenerate Dao Bizarre pursued him.
The situation hadn't developed as expected, as if he had taunted two bosses into chasing him to the ends of the earth.
The further north he went, the denser the eerie and sinister atmosphere became, concealing various bizarre forces.
A Demon Saint with an elephant trunk, rhinoceros eyes, a bull's tail, and tiger's feet, exuding a peculiar aura, seemed to sense something, his gaze filled with spiteful malice.
"Finally found you!"
"Daring to enter this Saint's territory!"
The Sky Dream Demon Saint sensed a familiar aura similar to that of the Immortals of Ming Luo Hall, and suddenly vanished from within the Cave.
The number of Dao Ancestor Level strong pursuers increased by a new member.
Jinyang Demon Saint and Sky Dream Demon Saint exchanged glances from afar, not concealing even a bit of hostility.
He looked down upon those who had fallen into the Bizarre Path and become Demon Saints.
Upon meeting, they would surely fight fiercely, battling to the death.
Yet now, the two maintained remarkable restraint, not engaging, directly heading towards Jia Ren.
"Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns!"
The voice, like a soul-claimer, reached across thousands of miles, and as it was about to descend upon him, Jia Ren cast Spatial Banishment on himself.
It's too difficult!
Unexpectedly, driven to such extremity, each time more perilous than the last.
It was better to have stayed quietly in the Immortal Palace Ruins; at least he wouldn't be facing pursuit by three Dao Ancestor Level powerhouses simultaneously.
Hoping, next time, not to appear in the Dao Bizarre's lair...
Jia Ren silently prayed in his heart, consciousness gradually dimming, forcibly entering an eternal dreamscape.
When the three pinnacle powerhouses arrived, Jia Ren's stiff body disappeared.
"Caught in the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns, no matter where in the world one flees, it's impossible..."
The Sky Dream Demon Saint's words halted abruptly, losing his voice in shock.
The Jinyang Demon Saint and Corrupted Dao Ancestor, who arrived one after another, also lost the sense of their own power.
The Power of the Great Dao forms an imprint on the target, no matter which Fairy Domain the person escapes to, it would allow precise tracking of their location.
Crossing multiple Fairy Domains, it could precisely locate.
Once marked by a Dao Ancestor, unless cleansed, escape was nearly impossible.
But now...
Where did this guy banish himself to?
The three Dao Ancestors returned empty-handed, eyes filled with anger, with Sky Dream Demon Saint and Corrupted Dao Ancestor both turning their gaze towards Jinyang Demon Saint.
A great battle erupted.
The only difference was that Jinyang Demon Saint, instead of facing one opponent, was now facing two, resulting in a humiliating and chaotic retreat.
...
My head is so heavy!
Jia Ren opened his eyes and looked down, wearing a shabby linen robe with patches.
Raising his head, his gaze gradually extended to the distance, as he alone rode a small boat with a dark green lantern, sailing on the black river surface.
In the distance was endless turbulence, the black waters surging in all directions without end.
The sky was filled with drifting black mist; looking around, visibility did not exceed ten feet.
The Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force and powerful physique he relied on were nowhere to be found, and he had become a mortal, even weaker than at the beginning of his traversal.
Place of Spatial Banishment? Dreamscape?
Jia Ren clearly remembered that after casting Spatial Banishment, the Sky Dream Demon Saint locked onto him with the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns; this place was most likely within a dream.
To commit suicide to escape the dream?!
It absolutely wouldn't be that simple.
The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre and Mirror Flower Divine Moon can cause death within dreams, leading to demise in reality as well. The methods used by Tianmeng Demon Monarch would surely be more terrifying.
He had a hunch that death was not a good choice.
The Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns, would it be waiting here for a thousand years?
If unable to endure a thousand years, what would happen?
"Let's see if cultivation is possible!"
Temporarily unable to find a way to escape, the best course was to enhance his strength and improve his survival capability.
Jia Ren recalled the cultivation techniques he had practiced, with the content related to the Xuan Shui Technique appearing in his mind.
This was a water-based cultivation technique, suitable for this place.
Turbulence roiled beneath the boat, with hidden undercurrents, as the vessel danced upon the waves, shadowy behemoths seemingly moving below the riverbed.
He sat cross-legged, controlling the chaotic thoughts,
sensing the connection between body and mind with nature, absorbing nature's spiritual energy into his body.
Boom!
The boat was struck by a creature beneath the river, tossed high as if by a giant, soaring far away.
