Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 621 - 616 Trinity, an Inevitable Battle_1

"It’s here at last!"

Jia Ren was covered in golden Suppressing Demon Divine Armor; no strange aura could penetrate even a hair’s breadth. He turned his head toward where the crying of the baby came from and saw from a distance an infant with white skin, one zhang tall. Their eyes met across the space, with sparks seemingly flying between them.

The moment the Great Infant Bizarre appeared, the Infant Spirit vanished like a bubble.

Two Nascent Soul period cultivators bowed deeply to the Great Infant Bizarre, their posture that of fanatical believers. "This is the thief who stole your Power of Faith!"

"Come with me, food and lodging included!" Jia Ren declared. "The food is Phoenix Fire, and the lodging is the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. You won’t have to spend a dime—just pack your bags and move right in."

Golden chains sprouted from the Suppressing Demon Divine Armor, shooting rapidly towards the distant Infant Bizarre. As long as the Suppressing Demon God Chain bound the opponent and sent it into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, the plan would be a complete success.

The Infant Bizarre’s eyes were pitch-black as it reached out a small palm, bathed in green, slapping it towards them. The golden chains shrank continuously until they were as thin as strands of hair and wrapped around the Infant Bizarre, who effortlessly shattered them.

It was not surprising that a powerful Bizarre Demon had the ability to resist the Suppressing Demon God Chain. The body of the Infant Bizarre swayed, and in the blink of an eye, it had vanished without a trace.

This Bizarre Demon’s strength could not be underestimated; it was no less than that of a true Mahayana Stage Cultivator. If that were not the case, it would have long been sealed by the Daqian Kingdom. How could it still be alive today?

Jia Ren acted on his Whims of the Heart and used Instantaneous Movement to get away. At his previous location, a tender white palm stretched out of thin air and grabbed at nothing.

Having tried and failed to strike twice, the Infant Bizarre let out a piercing scream. Its skin was no longer tender and white but streaked with veins of greenish-black. It seemed to have morphed from a living infant to a dead, resentful one. An even stronger and more bizarre aura erupted, far more formidable than before.

The commotion of the battle was not insignificant. The treasures and Divine Skills used were not the methods of Profound Capital Ming. A prolonged battle would draw the cultivators of Daqian, and the revival of the Dead Immortal Will would make the situation more difficult. A swift battle must be fought; delay would breed mishap!

Jia Ren’s body condensed into heavy Suppressing Demon Divine Armor, and the chains interwove to form four golden divine dragons. The four golden dragons locked onto the Infant Bizarre and charged at it with roars, turning passivity into an active strike.

The Infant Bizarre let out a sinister smile as its green, bizarre power burst forth. It somehow appeared next to Jia Ren.

No, it wasn’t that the Infant Bizarre was getting bigger; I was the one shrinking!

Could the Suppressing Demon Divine Armor not fully withstand this bizarre power?

Luckily for Jia Ren, he did not regress to a juvenile state, which was a stroke of good fortune in an otherwise bad situation.

The Infant Bizarre clapped its hands together. With that clap, it was as though the heavens and earth were overturning, with dark clouds bearing down, and destructive power sweeping over like a tidal wave. Jia Ren’s Whims of the Heart sensed a tremendous threat, urging him to flee.

A mere Infant Bizarre wouldn’t become this abnormal. It seemed to be a single Bizarre Demon, but in reality, it also harbored the power of the Faith Bizarre.

The Holy Infant Sect had been established for many years. With numerous followers absorbing the bizarre Power of Faith over the years, its true combat power was terrifying. Transformed into a green-black dead infant state, the Infant Bizarre fully unleashed the hidden power of the Faith Bizarre, and its abilities became even more inconceivable.

"Ten Thousand Beasts Sovereign Body!"

Jia Ren transformed, becoming an entity with Phoenix Feather wings on its back and Ink-Scale Armor, neither human nor beast. Phoenix Flame emerged around him, burning away the bizarre power. His shrunken body instantly returned to its original size. The giant hand that had been frightening before had lost its threat and no longer intimidated him.

"Slash!"

A pair of Phoenix Flame wings swung from behind, like two flaming divine swords clashing together, fiercely slashing at the Infant Bizarre. Two cuts opened on its green skin, oozing greenish-black blood, and the Phoenix Flames stuck to the Infant Bizarre, fiercely burning. The blow pained the Infant Bizarre, and as it swung its hand to strike, Jia Ren had already escaped. He struck a blow and did not linger for glory.

"WAH!"

Phoenix Flames quickly spread across the Infant Bizarre, becoming a source of agony. It tasted fear for the first time in its life.

"What is this flame?! How could it harm the Divine Infant?!"

The observing Nascent Soul period cultivators of the Holy Infant Sect had thought the Divine Infant would easily dispose of Jia Ren, but the result was beyond their expectations. This person was not easy to deal with, and it was their turn to step in. The two used Instantaneous Movement to arrive at the scene, intending to join the battle and help the Divine Infant capture him.

Just then, a dragon-shaped golden chain, burning with Five-Colored Phoenix Flames, whirled through the air. As soon as they got close, they were struck by the fiery divine chain and thrown away. The power within them ignited upon contact, and they fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Jia Ren wasted no time. The dragon-shaped Suppressing Demon God Chain, wrapped in Phoenix Flames, fell upon the Infant Bizarre. Its green hand, which previously possessed the ability to shrink anything it touched, slapped out but could not affect the Suppressing Demon God Chain enveloped in Phoenix Flame. The thick chain bound it, forcefully pulling the Infant Bizarre toward a ninety-nine-floor Spirit Pagoda.

Completely engulfed in Phoenix Flames, it still desperately resisted, unwilling to enter the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. The tower seemed to resonate with the lingering grudges of numerous Bizarre Demons, like a demon den, a place it absolutely did not wish to enter. The struggle was futile. Its body was still burning with the Five-Colored Phoenix Flames, and the Infant Bizarre’s strange power rapidly depleted. Its resistance weakened as it was gradually pulled towards the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

"Haha, to think that the Phoenix Flame could reemerge in the mortal world!"

"Disciple, you possess the Phoenix Divine Fire, but have you ever encountered a true Phoenix?"

A figure enveloped in a yellow Taoist robe, holding an Eight Trigrams Mirror, emerged. The person was none other than the master of Profound Capital Ming: the Daqian National Master.

"Master, I have seen you. I will return with you immediately," Jia Ren said, pretending his identity hadn’t been discovered, seizing the opportunity to buy time.

"It’s better to capture you and question you slowly." The Daqian National Master raised his hand, aligning the mirror towards Jia Ren, and light descended upon him. A scene of a compassionate master and his devoted disciple unfolded. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Jia Ren immediately began to seal the Infant Bizarre, allowing no margin for error. Once the Infant Bizarre escaped, and with the Daqian National Master imposing limitations, catching it would be several times more difficult than before, if not altogether impossible. He exhausted his efforts to drag the Infant Bizarre into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, but it was already a step too late to flee.

The Eight Trigrams Nine Palaces pattern shimmered, immobilizing him on the spot, his Spiritual Power nearly stagnant.

"Person from an Otherworld, let’s thoroughly fulfill our master-disciple destiny!"

An invisible force took Jia Ren away, flying toward the Gan Capital. The Daqian National Master left with a laugh, but soon returned swiftly. For what he had sealed and taken away was nothing more than... a rock.

Jia Ren had been using the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl, constantly altering the perception of his surroundings to guard against sneak attacks. The Daqian National Master’s actions had triggered his Whims of the Heart; how could Jia Ren not have been prepared? What one perceived was not the real scene, but merely a ploy of the Deceiving the Heavens Pearl to confound.

Jia Ren had sealed the Infant Bizarre and didn’t need to linger any longer. It was time to leave. He summoned Jin Sheng, and man and dragon became one. A hazy power materialized around him. His dragon claws tore through space as he commenced his Void Wandering.

「Once entering the Void, the sea is vast for the fish to leap, the sky boundless for the birds to soar.」

"I’ve lived for over fifteen thousand years, yet to think I could be deceived by someone."

Mei Wenzhong returned once again, only to feel a spatial tremor and see a half-human, half-dragon silhouette dart into the Void.

"You will stay for this Emperor!" The old Daoist roared loudly, his body suddenly splitting into three.

One was the Daqian National Master Mei Wenzhong; another, clad in a nine-clawed Dragon Robe and imposing in stature, was unmistakably Emperor Gan. The last, clad in blue Scale Armor, was the valiant figure of the Daqian Martial King. One man split into three, corresponding to the only three Mahayana Stage Cultivators in Daqian. No one could have imagined that they... were all the same person.

Emperors always played the game of balance to prevent coups. How could Emperor Gan, with the strongest force, tolerate others being his equal? The three of them jointly controlling Daqian, consolidating power in their hands—this was the way of kingship. Uninformed individuals believed they could ascend just like the Daqian National Master and Martial King, waiting for Emperor Gan’s grace. Power and absolute strength were never obtained through handouts from others!

They each held an Immortal Treasure – the Eight Trigrams Mirror, the Annihilation Sword, and the Sky-Flipping Seal – eyeing Jia Ren with fervent gaze.

"To think you also have a Golden Dragon!"

"As the supreme ruler, this Divine Beast should rightfully belong to me!"

"And the Kylin from a hundred years ago was yours too! Hand them all over!" Emperor Gan’s eyes gleamed with an enthralling light.

Jia Ren had just flown into the Void when he felt a strong suction force, and his escaping silhouette was involuntarily pulled before the Sky-Flipping Seal.

"I don’t wish to slay this rare Golden Dragon. Surrender it and the Phoenix willingly, and I can spare your life." Emperor Gan did not command the Sky-Flipping Seal to smash down. Firstly, he did not want to kill the hard-won Golden Dragon. Secondly, he desired the secret of how Jia Ren possessed numerous Divine Beasts. Thirdly, he was interested in the world Jia Ren came from.

All under heaven is the Emperor’s soil. Having mastered this realm for a long time was no longer satisfying; he wanted to bring another world under Daqian’s dominion. Now, simply offering the Phoenix could win the favor of the heavens, and he would no longer be restricted to this realm.

Just as Jia Ren was about to escape to safety, he was sucked back in by the Sky-Flipping Seal, his fury reaching its peak. He had thought he would only have to deal with the Daqian National Master, but Emperor Gan, this sly old fox, was playing a triune role. Escape was futile; he had been dragged back forcefully.

Since leaving was impossible, a battle was inevitable!

"Dusk Treasured Light!"

"Law of Heaven and Earth!"

Jia Ren was surrounded by the radiance of six treasures while a massive surge of nature’s spiritual energy swiftly converged upon him. His body expanded at a shocking rate, breaking through the previous limit of thirty thousand zhang in the blink of an eye, climbing ever higher.

Emperor Gan, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, unleashed the Sky-Flipping Seal upon Jia Ren.

BOOM!

A small area at the back of Jia Ren’s head caved in, leaving a small indentation like that of an insect bite, nearly imperceptible upon casual observation...

His Immortal Physique recovered at a frightening pace, and in a moment, there was no trace of injury.

"Law of Heaven and Earth! I never thought I’d see this legendary Great Divine Power in my lifetime." Emperor Gan’s eyes grew even hotter, coveting the numerous treasures on his opponent—enough to stir even one who possesses a world’s resources. He refrained from using his treasures. Instead, he gathered the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy to prevent it from flowing into his opponent.

That the opponent absorbed this realm’s spiritual energy was a good thing. It signified one thing... Jia Ren could never escape, just like himself, confined within this cage.
