Chapter 724: Chapter 328 Heavenly Immortal Intent and Eternal State_2

Even though the concept of death had been reawakened, under the might of the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching Great Divine Power, there was simply nowhere to escape.

The concept of death, born of the Heavenly Immortal Intent, was driven out entirely by the vitality of heaven and earth, leaving the Judge of Life and Death once again shocked beyond measure.

At this moment, he was fully aware that not only did Shen Yuan possess the remnant Divinity Path Emperor’s incorporeal persona, but his mastery of Divine Skill law was also profoundly unfathomable; engaging in a contest of Divine Arts with Shen Yuan would only lead to one’s demise.

“To win, there is only one choice!”

The Judge of Life and Death dispersed the Heavenly Immortal Intent that had pervaded the entire cosmos, that supreme intent that could mete out celestial punishment now became one with him, as if turning his very body into a world unto itself.

The Heavenly Immortal Intent could transform his every thought, every fraction of strength into divine might comparable to celestial punishment, forging myriad Divine Powers for his own use.

...

With just one step forward, space instantly collapsed into an area the size of a square inch.

In front of Shen Yuan, every invisible spatial barrier, every dimensional barrier, crumbled thunderously under that step, the Heavenly Immortal Intent enveloping him reached an atypical immunity to all spells, overpowering all spatial spells.

In a mere moment, the Judge of Life and Death was upon Shen Yuan, lifting his judge’s brush in what seemed a slow motion that nearly transcended the bounds of time.

Time around them all but ceased as the tip of the judge’s brush, sharp as a sword, effortlessly pierced Shen Yuan’s brow.

Without Divine Arts, without clashing manifestos of the Great Tao, just a single deadly move bolstered by the Heavenly Immortal Intent in his hand, accompanied by the Immortal Artifact that penetrated the Spirit Soul and tore apart the True Spirit, a smile finally appeared on the indifferent face of the Judge of Life and Death.

After all, he had realized that Shen Yuan’s realm was nothing but the Peak Void Refining Realm; however exceptional his Divine Powers were, they required an opportunity to be deployed.

Even though he had smuggled in an incomplete divine body, added to that the erosion by both the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power and the Sealing Decree, his cultivation was left with less than fifty percent.

However, the strength he possessed from the Heavenly Immortal Intent fully enveloping him was something beyond the imagination of those who had not broken through to the Immortal Realm.

“With the great enemy removed, all that’s left is…”

Such thoughts had barely begun to rise from the Judge of Life and Death’s heart when the surrounding time, almost frozen by the Heavenly Immortal Intent, started to change.

The tip of the brush piercing Shen Yuan’s brow began to slowly retract, his shattered True Spirit and Spirit Soul continually healing as time seemed to flow backward in the eyes of the Judge of Life and Death.

Heavenly General Great Divine Power·Rebounding Wind Returning Fire!

“How could this be?”

Inside his body, the Heavenly Immortal Intent suddenly erupted, as though it wanted to distort the regressing time, but in the face of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power’s pantheon position, even the Heavenly Immortal was incapable of moving it in the slightest, forcing the Judge of Life and Death to watch helplessly as Shen Yuan was restored to his original state.

Only when the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power was triggered did Shen Yuan realize the Judge of Life and Death was imminent.

“Already died once?”

Shen Yuan was shocked, the surrounding space collapsed abruptly, the shattered space enveloping Shen Yuan and transporting him to another direction within this realm.

The Judge of Life and Death, having been continuously weakened, now had only fifty percent of his cultivation left yet could still instantly kill him by crossing numerous spatial layers.

Even though he had exhausted all his methods, he had still underestimated the Judge of Life and Death’s strength.

“Bull Head had only barely entered the Heavenly Immortal stage and had never truly condensed the real Heavenly Immortal Intent. My understanding of the Heavenly Immortal came solely from Bull Head, which led to my underestimation of the Judge of Life and Death’s strength.”

With a grave expression on his face, Shen Yuan realised that he absolutely must not engage in close combat with the Judge of Life and Death.

The Heavenly Immortal Intent could annul all spells, and only the Heavenly General Great Divine Power could interfere, yet it was still not enough to truly break the Heavenly Immortal Intent. A slight misstep could result in instant death at the hands of the Judge of Life and Death.

“Only by stalling, waiting for the will of the world of the Primal Chaos Realm to continuously suppress him, can I find an opportunity!”

No sooner had this thought arisen than Shen Yuan saw a judge’s brush piercing through hundreds of spatial domains, with the powerful Heavenly Immortal Intent disregarding the Spatial Path and giving chase.

“Thinking of escaping?”

A sinister chuckle came from the Judge of Life and Death’s mouth as the judge’s brush, carrying the Heavenly Immortal Intent, in an instant, cleaved through the entirety of Yomotsu Hirasaka.

A massive chasm tore through the firmament, extending into the infinite distance, the Heavenly Immortal Intent using the judge’s brush as a conduit to pierce through Shen Yuan’s body, its might spreading trying to destroy everything within Shen Yuan’s flesh.

The next moment, time flowed backward again, the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power triggered once more.

Even the flesh ravaged by the forceful Heavenly Immortal Intent was instantly healed, the Judge of Life and Death’s power was simply not enough to disrupt the reverse flow of time.

“Another use of Temporal Divine Power!”

The Judge of Life and Death’s eyes nearly split with rage.

The sealing spell capable of restraining a Heavenly Immortal across several major realms, the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power embodying the curse-killing technique, the Supreme Law of Creation that could alter a domain’s rules within days, the Spatial Divine Power that opened countless spaces, and the Temporal Divine Power before his eyes that could reverse death.

All these Divine Power Methods were unheard of even to The Ancient One, a Heavenly Immortal like the Judge of Life and Death.

The convergence of so many Divine Power Methods in Shen Yuan’s possession brought his foundation to an incredibly terrifying level.

It was also fortunate that Shen Yuan was currently only at the Peak Void Refining Realm and had not yet stepped into the Tao Harmony Stage.

If Shen Yuan were to advance further, the Judge of Life and Death had no doubt that his opponent would be capable of rebelling against a Heavenly Immortal. By then, their positions would inevitably be reversed.

“I must exterminate him at any cost, right here!”

A fierce light shone in the eyes of the Judge of Life and Death as his right hand flipped over to reveal four official seals, representing the Biancheng King, Mount Tai King, City King, and Equality King.

These four Yama’s official seals were his biggest trump card upon arriving in the Primal Chaos Realm—as symbols of Yama’s authority, they could allow the Judge of Life and Death a brief chance to glimpse a grand fortune from the power of the 10th Hall Yama.

The opportunity to annihilate Shen Yuan was imminent. The Judge of Life and Death could no longer afford any consumption; any delay would be of no benefit to him.

“You can resurrect? I’d like to see just how many times you can come back to life under the authority of the four Yamas!”

Four majestic kingly silhouettes clad in imperial robes appeared in front of the Judge of Life and Death, whose cultivation, weakened by Shen Yuan, now returned to its peak and even faintly transcended the realm of a Heavenly Immortal.

Just as Shen Yuan was reborn from the reverse flow of time, the killing strike descended once again, tearing his body apart.

As the Judge of Life and Death said, he couldn’t interfere with the reverse flow of time, but he was well aware that the consumption of this power was definitely not low.

So he chose the most straightforward, and also the most effective method: continuously killing Shen Yuan to exhaust his trump card. When Shen Yuan could no longer reverse time, that would be his death!

Once, twice, thrice… Shen Yuan’s physical body and True Spirit were shattered time and again, and then resurrected time and again through the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power.

With every passing moment, Shen Yuan was greeted with death. No matter which Divine Skills or Spells he used, he couldn’t avoid the Judge’s brush that tore through space and punctured his body.

Even Shen Yuan himself couldn’t be clear about just how many times he had died. The speed of the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power’s reversal of time began to slow.

Meanwhile, the Judge’s brush, infused with the Heavenly Immortal Intent, was also being worn down with each act of killing.

Finally, as the Judge’s brush could no longer bear the Heavenly Immortal Intent and shattered, the four Yama’s official seals had already lost their light.

It was at this moment that the Judge of Life and Death at last caught a glimpse of the fluctuation of reverse time in Shen Yuan’s being.

Time was no longer stable, which meant that Shen Yuan’s trump cards had reached their limit. Just one more death for Shen Yuan would be enough to ensure his complete demise, never to transcend death again.

Stirred in spirit, the Judge of Life and Death discarded the shattered Judge’s brush and stepped across the void, approaching Shen Yuan.

His body, previously invulnerable to all spells thanks to the Heavenly Immortal Intent, was unaffected by the raging Qi of heaven and earth and space storms around him.

And his right hand, formed into a sword-point thrust, aimed at Shen Yuan’s brow, his eyes sparkling with undisguised elation.

“Die!”

But just then, within the space nearly frozen in time, a hand reached out and grasped the wrist of the Judge of Life and Death. Soon after, a ghostly voice sounded.

“I have finally caught you!”

The hand belonged to Shen Yuan’s left hand. Even though the Heavenly Immortal Intent tore through his palm in an instant, a profound manifestation had descended upon the Judge of Life and Death, locking him in place.

The next moment, the surrounding space-time shattered instantly, and a majestic manifestation from a higher dimension descended.

It was surrounded by the origins of a myriad of Dao, as if it were a supreme deity born before the existence of the great paths.

From within the brow of the Great Tao Manifestation, a strand of crimson-golden light descended, wielding the undying will of Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer to shatter the Heavenly Immortal Intent.

The body that was once immune to all spells had now collapsed.

The next instant, within Hell’s Yomotsu Hirasaka, Ten Suns Crossing the Sky incinerated everything!
