Top enlightenment at 100 years old Chapter 645 - 630: Reckoning, Arrival at the Divine Ruins (Part 2)

Instead of letting it languish in his possession, dispatching it to bolster the might of allied forces could prove far wiser.

Once Ji Haoyuan wrapped up these affairs, he chose not to rush back to the sect. His sight shifted straight toward the profound reaches of the remote starry void.

More accurately, it fixed on the Divine Ruins' position.

This sight jolted Elder Wan, Luo Changsheng, and Fairy Yuehua instantly.

Elder Wan blurted out: "I say, Ji kid, don't do anything foolish.

The Divine Ruins are bottomless, and neither you nor I can predict the hidden depths of their foundations.

Rushing in there could bring you real trouble."

Fairy Yuehua chimed in too: "Exactly, Nanhua Dao You, from what I know, Immortals still linger inside the Divine Ruins.

Charging ahead blindly, their formations could well threaten you seriously."

She avoided calling it outright danger, respecting Ji Haoyuan's status.

Yet her point rang crystal clear.

Ji Haoyuan offered no counter, showing no sign of wavering.

He murmured softly: "Divine Ruins have scorned my Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land time and again.

Staying purely on defense each time...

Eventually, even Divine Ruins and others might believe my Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land truly fears them.

This round, whatever it takes, I have to teach them a harsh lesson."

His words landed, and Elder Wan with Fairy Yuehua realized Ji Haoyuan's resolve was ironclad—they couldn't sway him now.

Only his master Taixu Bai could step in.

Yet Taixu Bai wasn't at Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land presently.

No one knew his whereabouts.

Sensing their worries, Ji Haoyuan softened his voice, speaking with firm assurance and reassurance:

"Rest easy, this journey yielded me heaps of treasures and secret weapons.

Sword Mountains or Sea of Flames in Divine Ruins? Nothing there can halt me or endanger me.

Stay put here; I'll be back before you know it."

Finished, Ji Haoyuan wasted no more time.

His form swiftly faded from Elder Wan, Luo Changsheng, and Fairy Yuehua's view.

Witnessing this, Elder Wan wore a wry grin.

He turned to Fairy Yuehua and proposed:

"Daoist Yuehua, got some time to spare?

If so, why not visit my Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land for a spell?"

Fairy Yuehua grasped Elder Wan's aim right away and accepted gracefully. A stunning smile bloomed on her flawless visage as she nodded:

"Then I shall graciously accept your invitation."

Meanwhile.

Ji Haoyuan had crossed vast star domains, arriving at a radiant boundary wall pulsing with boundless splendor.

This marked the Divine Ruins' stronghold.

He made no effort to hide, drawing swift notice from watchful eyes.

Suddenly, forces that had quieted down stirred once more.

Ji Haoyuan shows up solo at Divine Ruins' edge—what's his game?

"Obvious: Nanhua Immortal aims to square things with Divine Ruins."

One observer declared.

The notion spread like wildfire, winning broad nods.

"Spot on. Divine Ruins struck Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land repeatedly; now Nanhua Immortal, fresh from slaying their Immortals, comes to demand reckoning."

Shock rippled through the crowd then.

Yet some stayed unmoved.

Including Immortals from Upper and Lower Realms.

They'd heard tales of Ji Haoyuan's exploits over time.

Truth be told, they held no fondness for this Ji Haoyuan who snubbed Upper Realm Immortals and showed scant respect.

Hearing he'd stormed Divine Ruins alone, dark hopes flickered in some hearts.

They knew Divine Ruins' backing all too well.

No lone rogue Immortal could topple that.

Even if Divine Ruins here was just a fraction, its roots defied a fresh Immortal's grasp.

This trip might etch in him that ancient sects and great orthodoxies brook no affront.

No matter if the foe was but a splinter from such might—exceptions didn't exist.

Divine Ruins spotted Ji Haoyuan's approach at once.

Fury exploded among them.

They never imagined his nerve ran this deep.

Slaughtering their Divine Ruins Immortals was bold enough.

But solo at their doorstep? That spat on Divine Ruins entirely.

At once, scores of rays burst from the realm.

They encircled Ji Haoyuan in formation.

Suddenly, space-time for ten thousand miles froze and severed.

Twisted rules smashed together, birthing apocalyptic destruction wheels that raged outward.

In this array, even transformation realm Immortals saw Immortal Dao Rules control shatter.

Death loomed perilously close.

This was their trump card.

For the formation of dozens or hundreds of cultivators centered on an Immortal Treasure brimming with mighty Immortal Dao Rules and Dao Rhythms.

This treasure's might eclipsed standard Immortal Treasures.

It could gravely endanger True Immortals.

Then, four celestial-glow-shrouded figures appeared.

Obviously, all four were transformation realm Immortals.

Their stares locked on Ji Haoyuan.

Raw killing intent blazed in their eyes.

"Nanhua!"

From the four, a man in Immortal robes ringed by nine divine halos advanced.

His piercing eyes drilled into Ji Haoyuan, voice laced with frosty command:

"Such gall!

Killing my Divine Ruins Immortals aside, you dare invade my Divine Ruins—do you believe we can't touch you?"

Beside him, a silver-armored woman of breathtaking allure spoke icily:

"Senior Brother Hua Zhen, no need for talk with this scum.

We've shown today; we can't let him slip away.

Capture him, then unite to shatter his lineage and raze their sect gates."

This silver-clad female Immortal boasted flawless, supreme beauty.

A true unparalleled beauty among Immortals.

Still, her words dripped lethal venom.

Numerous Upper and Lower Realm Immortals narrowed their eyes.

They knew her: core disciple from that Upper Realm great sect orthodoxy.

Heavenly Beauty Fairy.

True to her title, she owned matchless beauty and poise—a heavenly paragon.

But what chilled these Immortals was her prowess as that orthodoxy's elite.

Legends said she'd slain True Immortals personally in the Upper Realm.

A heavyweight indeed.

No one foresaw her descent here.

Previously, no rumors surfaced.

Now, realm rules curbed her full power.

Yet handling non-True Immortal foes? Child's play.

Seems Nanhua Immortal from Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land acted too brashly.

He could face heavy defeat—or worse.
