Chapter 1386: Fine Line Between Victory and Defeat
A hint of realization flashed through Han Li's eyes as he sensed this conflicting aura.
This was the aura of the Heavenly Dao. It was vast and all-encompassing, yet also cold and detached, harboring no empathy for any of the living beings of the world.
The ribbon of rainbow light was guided up into the sky by the vial spirit before plunging into the chaotic vortex, while Gu Huojin made no effort to intervene.
His action wasn't borne from conceitedness. Instead, he had to focus all of his effort and attention on the fierce clash taking place between two vortexes.
Of course, even more importantly, he had to speed up his absorption of the chaotic law powers around him. As soon as he became the Chaotic Dao Ancestor, he would become the embodiment of chaos, a truly untouchable deity.
In that state, no one would be able to defeat him, and Han Li's trio would be reduced to ants that he could crush on a whim.
"You think a mere Heaven Controlling Vial will be enough to turn the tables? What a joke!" Gu Huojin sneered as he swept both sleeves through the air, and the rate at which the plumes of dark green mist were sucked into the chaotic vortex was instantly sped up by a hundredfold.
The chaotic vortex twisted and warped momentarily before taking on the form of a massive, indistinct human face.
"Gu Huojin is undergoing the process of dao integration! As soon as that human face takes shape, it'll be too late for us to do anything!" the Reincarnation Palace Master yelled in an urgent manner.
The Devilish Monarch knew that he couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing this, and his body swelled rapidly in size, while a pair of huge, curved horns appeared on his head. His handsome facial features also morphed into something horrific and unsightly as he transformed into a devilish creature that was over a hundred thousand feet tall.
As he took a step forward, the space beneath his foot trembled violently, and a series of massive, silver ripples proliferated outward in all directions, only fading away after spreading to tens of millions of kilometers away.
