Chapter 1134 - 1040: Contest for the Cycle of Rebirth Authority
This is a dark world, seemingly nonexistent in reality.
Faint traces of Samsara Qi swirl around, and in the darkness, countless Ghostly Beings slumber.
“Just received the news, the ceremony will begin tomorrow, and the Reincarnation will be controlled.”
An old ghost whispered:
“At that time, we will gain our freedom!”
In the dark, crumbled Netherworld, the discussions among many Ghostly Beings immediately erupted.
“The Samsara Ring, like a double-edged sword, makes our Soul Bodies Indestructible, yet it also binds us, confining us to either the crumbled Netherworld or the Cultivator’s Path-Scenic Land, unable to enter reality…”
“Once we enter reality, the Samsara Ring will weaken our strength, rendering us feeble!”
“With the reappearance of the Cycle of Rebirth Authority, the Samsara Ring can be unlocked, and only then can we truly be free between heaven and earth!”
These Ghostly Beings were all filled with anticipation.
“My lord, after the Reincarnation Prohibition Master takes control of the Cycle of Rebirth Authority… might he betray us…”
An old ghost questioned, addressing some unknown entity.
…Upon holding the Cycle of Rebirth Authority, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master can use the Reincarnation Seal to control the Ghostly Beings within the Netherworld.
In the darkness, a commanding yet indifferent voice spoke:
“If he betrays us, kill him and replace him.”
“The Cycle of Rebirth Authority… I permit him to control it, and only then does he have the right to control!”
“Should he defy my will, he shall be executed!”
…
Meanwhile.
Somewhere on the Forbidden Ancient Path.
The light and shadows are chaotic, a rotting scent spreads, and even the rules of space are corroded, as if time has halted here.
In a burial pit, mist pervades, and amid the thick Grey Mist, there appears to be a wisp of Black Mist!
Clang Clang Clang.
The sound of chains ringing, and from the burial pit, a sleeping figure suddenly awakens.
His entire body is wrapped in Corpse Wrapping Cloth, his face appears to be stitched together with rotting flesh, his eyeballs nearly falling out, even his clothes made from grey human skin.
“…Yes, as commanded…”
This Rotten Slave dully murmured, speaking to some existence, then holding the chains, he climbed out of the burial pit.
…The next day.
The entire Tenth Source Clan, all the walking dead, ghostly shadows, etc., were waiting at the edge of the Great Lake.
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master respectfully brought out the Reincarnation Seal from the Reincarnation Palace.
“Today, is the time to control Reincarnation!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master shouted loudly, raising the Reincarnation Seal in his hand.
That Reincarnation Seal was not complete, only a corner, yet it emitted a mysterious and unpredictable force, as if connected to a mysterious world, seemingly able to dominate all living beings!
The Array spread throughout the Great Lake was slowly activated.
The Reincarnation Seal in the hands of the Reincarnation Prohibition Master was instantly enveloped by the Array’s power, leaving his hand and floating directly above the center of the lake.
Various strange and unpredictable forces augmented the Seal, and within the yellow smoke drifting faintly, there appeared to be many ethereal ghost eyes watching this place.
—Those were the old ghosts slumbering in the crumbled Netherworld.
Yesterday, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master had already conveyed the message to them, so today, they all opened their eyes, waiting.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the Array!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master called out to the Youxu Messenger, Dog-headed Taoist, Ao Wushuang, Jiang Li, and others standing by.
Immediately, Jiang Li and the others stepped forward, entering their respective Array positions.
“The Array…activate!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master yelled out.
He too stepped forward, standing next to the Reincarnation Seal.
Soon, he would use the power of the ceremonial Array to truly control the Cycle of Rebirth Authority.
Meanwhile, below.
Boom!
The four-direction Array suddenly activated.
At this moment, a terrifying aura surged wildly from the massive lake, with Grey Mist Qi and profound Yellow Qi crisscrossing everywhere.
In the lake, giant waves rolled, and bloated, rotten corpses floated up from the bottom, densely packed everywhere.
Pale bone claws reached out of the water, and the wails of Wraiths echoed through the Source Land.
—Nearly two-thirds of the people of the Tenth Source Clan are buried in this Great Lake!
For the sake of reincarnation, they became sacrifices, the price of sacrifice.
“Below the Great Lake lies the Source Eye of Mist of the Tenth Source Clan, using this Source Eye of Mist can stimulate a power beyond the current world, directly touching Samsara…”
High above in the Sky Vault, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master was extremely expectant, loudly declaring:
“The four of you, your four-corner Array… can now be operated!”
Now that the Array had begun to operate, only the resonance of the four corners held by the Youxu Messenger and others was needed.
The Envoy of the Dead, the Reward and Punishment One, the Transcender, the Reincarnator, four representatives of the control Array, will open the gate of Samsara for him.
Upon hearing this, at this moment, the Youxu Messenger in the Array showed a cold smirk.
He raised his hand, activating the Array at this location.
At the same time, the Arrays where Ao Wushuang, Dog-headed Taoist, Jiang Li were also activated.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening, mournful wail erupted from the entire lake.
Those dead resentful spirits, unwilling ghosts, were now struggling intensely, their Soul Bodies being refined, becoming the offerings of the Array.
Countless Wraiths dissipated, and their resentment before complete vanishing formed a terrifying force, whispering to Reincarnation, narrating the desire for life!
—The resentful power of lost souls can push open the door of Reincarnation.
“I will hold Reincarnation for all living beings, soothe the grievances of living beings, and extinguish the hatred of lost souls!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master shouted, righteously declaring:
“I govern all living beings, I shall control Reincarnation!”
With a wave of his hand, that force, almost able to push open Reincarnation, instantly converged towards him.
Feeling that terrifying power gradually filling his body, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master, his entire being as if reaching a climax, surged with excitement, reaching the pinnacle of his life!
“I… will become one of the Ten Halls Yanjun!”
He excitedly exclaimed!
But, just as the words fell!
Boom!
Suddenly, within the operating Array below, a series of black Qi began to circulate.
This Qi, rising straight to the sky, enveloped the entire Array, completely severing this place’s connection with the outside world.
Even the gaze of the crumbled Netherworld on this place was momentarily obscured.
Array ritual immediately descended into chaos.
The power converging towards the Reincarnation Prohibition Master, in this instant, swept up the Reincarnation Seal and suddenly changed direction, heading towards the Youxu Messenger.
At the same time, a dark array light transformed into a Celestial Blade, slashing towards the Reincarnation Prohibition Master!
“No!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master, seeing this, was horribly scared.
What is happening?!
The Reincarnation Seal was actually stolen, and even the vengeful wraith power was lost?
Moreover, that terrifying Celestial Blade had already violently descended!
“Help me, sirs!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master cried out loudly, but the connection to the Crumbled Netherworld had already been severed; he couldn’t get help from the old ghosts there.
At a critical moment, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master immediately crushed a Life-Saving Talisman.
Boom!
The black Celestial Blade slashed past, and the Reincarnation Prohibition Master vanished from the scene.
At this moment.
The black aura was circulating, and the vengeful wraith power triggered by the grand ritual, wrapped around the Reincarnation Seal, heading towards the direction of the Youxu Messenger.
“Reincarnation… will belong to my master!”
The Youxu Messenger’s eyes burst out with a strong black light.
He reached out to catch the Reincarnation Seal.
“The Reincarnation Seal belongs to me!”
At this moment, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master suddenly reappeared from the void.
– Using the Life-Saving Talisman to block the disaster, he reappeared, his face somewhat pale, but he was extremely anxious, exerting all his power, trying to regain control.
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master had been attuned to the Reincarnation Seal for many years. When he made his move, the Reincarnation Seal slightly paused, and its speed towards the Youxu Messenger visibly slowed.
“Insects, you want to die, I shall kill you again!”
The Youxu Messenger spoke coldly, and with a flick of his fingers, a decaying black aura swept out.
“Messenger… this belongs to me!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master desperately fought.
But, at this moment.
Boom!
Suddenly, the entire lake, as if thousands of nuclear bombs were buried within, violently exploded, shattering the original ritual array!
Great amounts of lake water evaporated, those floating corpses directly vaporized and disappeared, revealing a large pit on the lake bottom.
After the viscous lake water disappeared, only a spring remained in the pit, from which countless amounts of gray mist surged out.
This was the fundamental basis where the Tenth Source Clan established their lives – Grey Mist Spring Eye.
Grey Mist Spring Eye, is also the source of the Grey Mist Origin Qi in the Forbidden Ancient Path, and even within the Grey Mist Sea.
At this moment, the strength of the great array was chaotic.
Even that black secret array was dispersed by the impact.
“Dog-headed Taoist… it was you!”
The Youxu Messenger was greatly shocked and looked towards the Dog-headed Taoist!
He had already seen it; this terrifying power was precisely from the corner of the array the Dog-headed Taoist was responsible for.
Undoubtedly, the opponent had tampered with it!
“Dog-headed expert, quickly lend me your strength!”
As the Reincarnation Prohibition Master was on the brink of collapse, he urgently spoke.
But, before he had finished speaking, a giant dog paw had already materialized in the sky, slapping down towards him!
“Damn… you are a traitor too?!”
At this moment, the Reincarnation Prohibition Master was directly infuriated; damn, among the four responsible for the grand array, there were actually two traitors, how can we continue like this?!
The terrifying dog paw had already fallen, he gritted his teeth, and again took out a Supreme bone artifact.
Boom!
That Supreme bone artifact exploded, but the Reincarnation Prohibition Master disappeared from mid-air.
And now, the entire ritual array was completely in chaos.
The wraith power generated by the grand array had lost its guidance, sweeping up the Reincarnation Seal, wildly rampaging across the heaven and earth, unattainable by anyone!
“Damn dog, I will kill you!”
The Youxu Messenger was uncontrollably furious, furiously enraged to the extreme.
He never expected, that the Dog-headed Taoist would make him fall short of success.
But at this moment, the Dog-headed Taoist suddenly transformed, directly turning into a Big Black Dog, saying:
“Bark, you a Dark Slave? Also worthy of yelling in front of this Emperor?”
“If you dare, let the mastermind behind you come out, this Emperor will not kill him!”
It the Big Black Dog held its head high, utterly unrestrained.
While the Youxu Messenger, although uncontrollably furious, did not bother with the Big Black Dog any further and flew towards the Reincarnation Seal!
No matter what, controlling the Reincarnation was the most important.
But, just at this moment, in the void, the figure of the Reincarnation Prohibition Master appeared again.
“Damn… Reincarnation is mine!”
He was gasping for breath, his aura chaotic, and gray blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Upon reappearing, he saw the Youxu Messenger headed towards the Reincarnation Seal.
“Impossible!”
He made a move to stop the Youxu Messenger!
“No matter who you are, what background you have… appearing in this world, you can only exert ‘Touching the Prohibition’ strength, how could I fear you?!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master gave everything in his obstruction, and instantly, he and the Youxu Messenger were locked in a stalemate.
But, just at that moment.
Boom!
Suddenly, below, an Array Flag glowed brightly, a terrifying array power burst forth from around the Big Black Dog, directly drawing the chaotic wraith power, as well as the Reincarnation Seal, towards the Big Black Dog!
“This dog… still has a backup plan…?”
The Youxu Messenger was shocked.
He had thought that the Big Black Dog had already made all its moves.
But who would have thought that this dog could not only disrupt his array but also steal the Reincarnation?
“You dare! Damn dog, this is mine!”
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master shouted even louder.
Both rushed towards the Big Black Dog!
At this moment, Big Black Dog stood in place, also stunned, its eyes bugging out.
Bark, it seems… it didn’t set up such an array??
It was confused.
…
