Chapter 1140 - 1045: Land of Origin's Demise
Deeper into the Forbidden Ancient Path.
Gazing into the distance upon the ancient path, there were nine vast worlds shrouded in dense Chaos Fog. In every world, countless Ghost Fires flickered, and the nine realms resembled a constellation of stars, magnificent and commanding.
At this moment.
Within the origin land of the Ninth Origin Clan.
Mountains of bones piled up, flesh turned to mud, and ashen blood formed rivers.
Atop the mountain of corpses stood an immense and majestic palace.
The Equality Palace!
At this moment, within the Equality Palace.
On both sides sat four strong presences, each wearing paper robes, similar in style to the garments of court officials from the mortal world.
But, on those paper robes emitted a faint Samsara Qi, daunting to behold.
Each of these eight individuals hung a large seal at their waist…
The Reincarnation Seal!
At the head of the table, a middle-aged Forbidden Lord in similar attire spoke indifferently:
“According to the news from the Youxu Realm, the Authority of Reincarnation, has been stolen by that Big Black Dog from back then.”
He is the current Forbidden Master of the Ninth Origin Clan—The Equality Prohibition Master!
As the name suggests, he controls the Authority of the King of Equality among the Ten Kings of Hell.
The other eight Great Forbidden Lords had stern expressions on their faces.
“That dog once roamed the ancient paths and yet has not died!”
“It’s truly outrageous, to actually dare to meddle with Samsara!”
“That dog is tied with karma to several significant beings; by taking action, does it imply that those beings… still have fallbacks?”
Everyone was in discussion.
“I have issued an order to kill the dog; any being related to dogs found on the Forbidden Path is to be eradicated!”
The Equality Prohibition Master declared:
“I have put forth a kill order; anyone who encounters a being related to that dog on this path must be executed immediately!”
“But, our most important task right now… is not the killing of the dog.”
“As long as we completely control our authorities, we can directly locate the Authority of Reincarnation and seize it by force!”
“Although something went wrong this time, it is sufficient proof that the Youxu Realm’s predictions were correct. The Youxu Realm has dispatched a new Youxu Messenger, who will guide us to complete the entire array.”
Everyone nodded along.
Controlling the Authority of Reincarnation indicates that the resentment of the restless souls can indeed help them push open the gate of Samsara, thereby controlling the authority.
“…but now, the ‘Forbidden Path Marks’ from the other side cannot pass through, and the tomb at The End of Myriad Paths is still blocking the passage…”
“If the Forbidden Path Marks can’t make it through, the Grey Mist Sea cannot become the Forbidden World, unable to carry the great Samsara; even if we succeed, we would fall into oblivion.”
Someone murmured.
“…The elders of the Youxu Realm have been researching for a while, according to them, the tomb left at The End of Myriad Paths is designed to Repress voyeurism from the other side…”
“And Repressing the other side… is because this world contains some unspeakable secrets that seem related to the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones who once walked the Forbidden Ancient Path…”
“To break through that tomb also requires the hand of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones. A few years ago, the Youxu Realm’s elders have already issued orders for us to look for relics related to the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones… Unfortunately, despite searching the entire ancient path, nothing was found.”
Everyone discussed, revealing one secret after another!
“Report!”
Just then, a voice suddenly came:
“The Reincarnation Prohibition Master seeks an audience. He… is not dead!”
Upon hearing this, the many Forbidden Lords present were shocked.
“The Reincarnation Prohibition Master is actually not dead?”
“Quick, let him in!”
Everyone spoke up.
…
And at this moment.
Outside the origin land of the Ninth Origin Clan.
Ao Wushuang and the others stood before a large Stele, inscribed with eight characters:
“Ninth Origin Clan·Equality Palace.”
Leading them was none other than the skeleton of the Reincarnation Prohibition Master.
—After strategizing with Song Jiyuan, Mei Zhishang Ban Master, and others, they decided to have the Reincarnation Prohibition Master lead them inside, while they acted as his subordinates.
“Gentlemen, please come in!”
Soon after, a flayed corpse walked out.
Ao Wushuang and the others immediately followed inside.
The scene they saw upon entering bore no resemblance to the Tenth Source Clan. The clan of the Tenth Source had all merged into a Great Lake, whereas the Ninth Origin Clan… had formed into mountains.
Climbing along the mountain of corpses, it wasn’t long before they reached the Equality Palace.
Entering it, they saw the Nine Great Forbidden Lords!
“Reincarnation, you’ve finally come!”
The gaze of the Nine Great Forbidden Lords was fixed upon Reincarnation.
“What has happened?”
“Speak quickly!”
“Why are you left with only these few bones?”
Everyone asked eagerly.
The Reincarnation Prohibition Master said:
“A Big Black Dog stole the Reincarnation… smote me, and with all my might, I sent out a few life bones…”
“Thankfully, I met Ao Wushuang and the others on the way; it was they who saved me.”
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze settled on Ao Wushuang.
“Hm? This person seems… like the Reward and Punishment One? He possesses the Law of Word Spirit?”
At this moment, among the Nine Great Forbidden Lords, the Biancheng Prohibition Master suddenly spoke.
—For countless years, the Nine Great Forbidden Lords have been drawing power from the Youxu Realm.
The Youxu Realm, a gathering place for the Crumbled Netherworld, holds remnants of the Power of Reincarnation. The old ghosts within have extracted the vital forces needed by Envoys of the Dead, Reward and Punishment Ones, Reincarnators, for the Nine Great Forbidden Lords to assimilate.
And among them, Biancheng Prohibition Master, Taishan Prohibition Master, and Metropolitan Prohibition Master play the role of the Reward and Punishment Ones.
