Chapter 679: Assimilating Into A Higher Dimension, Black Devil Divine Pillar (2)

It's spatial distortion, causing spatial intersection... Having survived countless life-or-death battles, High Immortal Zhuo Hao soon recognized Wu Yuan's technique.

Simultaneously, he also deduced that this was Space True Intent! Only by harnessing Space True Intent to trigger True Domain could this technique have such heaven-defying power.

Mastering Space True Intent allows integration with higher dimensions. Killing him is nearly impossible! High Immortal Zhuo Hao naturally understood this point.

Normally, only Archimmortals could enter higher spatial dimensions with sheer force. But mastering Space True Intent or advancing the Law of Qiankun to the seventh-level True Intent stage allowed integration with higher dimensions, even without overwhelming mana.

This was the intractability of the Space Dao. When the powers of two combatants were comparable, those skilled in the Law of Space were practically invincible.

Break! The High Immortal Zhuo Hao erupted with power. The three dazzling, fiery planets burst forth with power.

He was going all out. These eight spherical artifacts were actually forged with eight special planets as their cores. Their power was overwhelming.

Boom! The fiery planets swept through the void, causing space to tremble faintly. The powerful aftershocks radiated outward, yet it had no effect!

Unable to shatter it forcefully? High Immortal Zhuo Hao's pupils contracted slightly. He's just an Earth Immortal, yet his spatial distortion region is so stable? How deep is his Dao comprehension?

Distorting space meant forcibly altering it, requiring not only deep Dao comprehension but also corresponding mana to support it. The stronger the mana, the greater the power.

To combat this technique, there were three methods. First, suppress the Space Dao’s fluctuations with a high enough Dao comprehension level.

Second, break away with sheer force, shattering the power limits of the Material Spatial Layer with absolute might. Archimmortals could do this.

Third, kill the caster. The distorted space would naturally return to normal.

However, High Immortal Zhuo Hao couldn't accomplish the first two methods. Though he was strong, his attacks couldn't reach the Archimmortal level.

Whoosh! High Immortal Zhuo Hao continued flying at high speed. Though the surrounding space was distorted, it couldn't alter his sense of direction. He kept flying towards Earth Immortal Yin Yan's planet, trying to arrive as quickly as possible.

It will take at least three breaths to arrive. Too long. Given the strength of those two imprint bearers, they would likely capture Earth Immortal Yin Yan by then. High Immortal Zhuo Hao knew how strong Metal Devil and Purple Secret were and felt extremely anxious.

This won't do. Earth Immortal Yin Yan has been refining medicinal pills for a long time and has already mastered the pill refining method. If I lose him, I'll have to find a new pill refiner, who will then have to spend time familiarizing themself with the refining process. High Immortal Zhuo Hao quickly analyzed the situation.

Too much time would be wasted, and he couldn't afford any more delays. Moreover, from Wu Yuan's earlier gesture of killing Earth Immortal Yin Yan's mana body, he roughly sensed that the goal of these Spacetime Island imprint bearers wasn't as simple as protecting Earth Immortal Yin Yan.

He didn't want to gamble on it!

Using the Black Devil Divine Pillar risks their exposure, but these Spacetime Island imprint bearers will soon return to the Spacetime Island. The Dao Realm is vast, they might not even know about the Black Devil Divine Pillar. They probably won't recognize it.

Ten Black Devil Divine Pills are enough! High Immortal Zhuo Hao made his decision.

Having fought to this point, he couldn't be bothered to say more. He had only one thought—kill!

Whoosh! A huge black pillar suddenly appeared before High Immortal Zhuo Hao. It was about ten meters tall, inscribed with countless mysterious Dao patterns and emitting waves of a sinister, ancient aura that sent chills down one’s spine. Faint traces of countless mottled bloodstains stained the pillar, and innumerable lost souls could be vaguely heard wailing from it.

The moment the black pillar appeared, High Immortal Zhuo Hao's aura changed.

Previously, he gave the air of an immortal sage. Now? A crimson light wreathed his form, lifting his wild hair. His white robes were subtly tinged with blood-red light, as if he had become a great devil.

...

"Black! Devil! Blood! Sacrifice! Activate." High Immortal Zhuo Hao's gaze turned frigid, his eyes glowing with a blood-red light. His body seemed to merge with the Black Devil Divine Pillar, becoming one.

With a thunderous boom, the black divine pillar erupted with endless blood-red light, filling the sky and enveloping an area of ten thousand li, locking down space itself.

In an instant, High Immortal Zhuo Hao felt a surge of vast, overwhelming power flowing into him, filling him with unprecedented strength. This immense power was almost beyond his control. At the same time, waves of sinister energy seemed to be eroding his consciousness.

Black Devil Power. High Immortal Zhuo Hao was well aware of this. This is Archimmortal-level mana, but I only have one breath's time. I must break the technique within one breath.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Two more fiery stars shot out from those originally orbiting him in the void, joining the three that had already been launched.

Despite having only three fiery stars left for protection, his defense was even more sturdy than before. All five fiery stars accelerated to a frightening speed.

Rumble~ The five fiery stars swept through the void, causing this section of outer space to quake, faintly revealing bizarre spatial rifts. It created the illusion of different dimensional spaces intersecting.

I can only shake it, but I can’t shatter it? High Immortal Zhuo Hao's pupils constricted, incredulous.

He couldn’t break away even with this? Then there was only one other path—kill the caster!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The five fiery stars traced a dazzling trail of fire stretching a million li through outer space. Within that fiery trail were interwoven flashes of blood and darkness.

Following this, space seemed to fracture as all five fiery stars vanished simultaneously—they had forcibly broken away from the constraints of the Material Spatial Layer.

My power has barely reached the Archimmortal level, I can't achieve integration with higher dimensions, but my Soul Will and artifacts can ascend to higher dimensions. High Immortal Zhuo Hao's gaze was icy: Killing an Earth Immortal like you? Child's play.

There you are! High Immortal Zhuo Hao finally discerned Wu Yuan's location.

With a mental command, the five fiery stars, now exuding a heart-stopping aura, hurtled toward Wu Yuan at top speed. Simultaneously, an invisible wave of soul energy also pierced through from the Material Spatial Layer to the Fragmentary Spatial Layer, striking at Wu Yuan.

...

Within the chaotic Fragmentary Spatial Layer.

Here it comes. Wu Yuan had already 'seen' the five streaks of fiery light plowing through the spatial currents, their might earth-shaking.

At this moment, Wu Yuan had two options.

First, retreat. With his speed in the Fragmentary Spatial Layer, he could escape tens of thousands of li away with a thought, far outpacing those five stumbling fiery stars.

However, retreating tens of thousands of li in the Fragmentary Spatial Layer was equivalent to retreating billions of li in the Material Spatial Layer. It would be equivalent to yielding the path, as he would no longer be able to trap High Immortal Zhuo Hao.

That left only the second option—face the attack! Only by withstanding the five fiery stars and standing firm in this higher spatial dimension could he lock down High Immortal Zhuo Hao in the corresponding area in the lower spatial dimension.

Observing lower dimensions from higher ones, High Immortal Zhuo Hao's speed seemed to slow ten thousandfold in Wu Yuan's eyes.

Assemble! With a mental command from Wu Yuan, a flying sword with an overwhelmingly powerful aura appeared before him, along with one flying sword after another. One low-grade celestial flying sword and eighty high-grade spirion flying swords assembled into an array.

A hazy azure light emerged. Life True Intent! Space True Intent! Nearly perfectly overlapped.

In the blink of an eye, a vast, hazy sword domain came into being, enveloping Wu Yuan's surroundings.
