Chapter 153: Shocking Secrets, the Truth of Reincarnation (Part 2)

"I see……"

Ye Li muttered to herself, her voice hoarse as sandpaper, yet tinged with the coldness and calmness of someone who saw through the essence of all things. The look she gave Xuan Cong was no longer filled with pure hatred, but with a kind of contempt that bordered on pity, a final determination that saw through his pathetic nature.

"For that vain dream of stealing the heavens, a dream that transcends your own limits, you have unleashed world-destroying monsters, betrayed your homeland, murdered your fellow disciples, imprisoned my parents, and placed billions of lives on the brink of destruction...Xuan Cong, you have long been lost in the abyss of power and ambition. Your souls have decayed, unworthy of being respected, much less worthy of being a living being in the spiritual world!"

Xuan Cong clearly hadn't expected Ye Li to be able to extract such a core secret, so close to the truth, from the chaotic and out-of-control memories of the "container." The composure on his face finally vanished, replaced by a sullen, angry expression after his true identity was completely exposed, and a hint of... a deep, visceral fear that had been triggered, a hideous reluctance to face the truth.

"You know too much, Ye Li." Xuan Cong's voice was no longer calm, but instead held a cold, soul-freezing murderous intent. "Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish and send you to reunite with your foolish parents at the end of reincarnation!"

Before he finished speaking, he held back no longer. The gray supreme power once again condensed at his fingertips, but this time, its might was far more terrifying than before at the dungeon entrance! The gray light was no longer a fingertip, but transformed into a hazy gray field that seemed to swallow all light and hope, enveloping Ye Li! Within this field, time and space distorted, laws collapsed, and the atmosphere of all things returning to the abyss permeated. This was Xuan Cong's true killing move, wielding the supreme power of the origin—"Nirvana Return to the Abyss"!

The terrifying pressure was like the entire Silent Soul Abyss descending upon Qin Yixuan, who was struggling with the remaining power of the Corrupted Claw Demon Lord, and his breathing suddenly stopped. He was extremely anxious, but could not escape for a while.

However, now that Ye Li knew the full truth, her state of mind had undergone a profound change. She gazed at the enveloping gray realm, powerful enough to instantly annihilate any Nirvana cultivator. There was no trace of fear in her eyes, but instead a detached calm and resolve.

Her parents are still alive, but in imminent danger; the core of the "Heaven-Stealing Project" lies in releasing the "Void Devouring Beast"; and she herself, and the fragments of the Samsara Mirror she has collected, are also key to this crazy plan...

I can't die here! I have to stop them! I have to save my parents!

An unprecedented desire to survive and unwavering faith, combined with a profound realization of the truth, erupted from her heart like a volcano! Within her sea of ​​consciousness, the four fragments of the Samsara Mirror sensed her strong will and understanding of the essence of reincarnation, resonating deeply for the first time and emitting an unprecedented chaotic light!

She no longer tried to resist Xuan Cong's vast supreme power, but poured all her mind, all her strength, and even the trace of the true meaning of reincarnation and death that she had just realized, into communicating with and activating the fragments of the reincarnation mirror!

"Reincarnation... is not an end, nor is it a theft... but rather a carrier, a movement. It is the foundation of the cycle of birth and death, the entanglement of cause and effect, of all things in heaven and earth... You seek to defy heaven, and you will ultimately reap the consequences!"

Ye Li's cold voice echoed through the dungeon. The Mystic Ice Sword in her hand seemed to sense the transformation of its master's state of mind and power. No longer a single, desolate gray, it began to radiate a chaotic light, as if imbued with the true meaning of the creation of the universe and the birth and death of all things! She combined the vague perception of the original cycle of reincarnation she had just gained from the memories of the "vessel" with the Six Paths of Reincarnation sword intent she had reshaped after her nirvana, as well as the original power of the fragments of the Samsara Mirror, and began to attempt a deeper fusion!

"Six Paths of Reincarnation: One Thought Creates and Destroys!"

She swung her sword, without earth-shattering momentum, a mere flash of chaotic sword light that seemed ordinary, yet seemed to demarcate the boundary between existence and nothingness, birth and death. Wherever this sword light passed, space no longer passively distorted or shattered, but actively manifested a strange state of "evolution"—tiny worlds were born, flourished, decayed, and extinguished within the sword light, repeating over and over again. It did not directly attack Xuan Cong's body, but instead struck at the deeper "roots" that connected Xuan Cong's "Nirvana Return to the Abyss" to the laws of this world!

laugh--!

It was as if a red-hot knife had sliced ​​through the most tenacious veins of law. The seemingly invincible, all-annihilating gray realm was "split" open by the chaotic sword light, which contained the strange true meaning of reincarnation and seemed to define "life" and "death." Its stable internal structure of annihilation was disrupted, and the artistic conception of returning to the abyss was impacted by the endless cycle of reincarnation. The power of the entire realm instantly collapsed and lost control!

Although this could not really harm Xuan Cong's origin, it did interrupt the integrity of his fatal attack, causing the power of his condensed domain to stagnate, and even showing a sign of backlash!

"What?!" Xuan Cong's eyes flashed with disbelief for the first time, even a hint of horror. He couldn't understand how a cultivator who had just achieved Nirvana, whose realm wasn't yet fully stabilized, could unleash such magical powers that touched upon the fundamental laws of the universe and even interfered with his own supreme realm! This was no longer a simple sword intent, but a manifestation close to the Dao!

Even Qin Yixuan and the Rotten Claw Demon Lord, who were engaged in a fierce battle, were stunned by this sudden, unpredictable scene. Qin Yixuan's beautiful eyes shone with surprise and hope, while the Rotten Claw Demon Lord's face was filled with disbelief and a subtle hint of fear.

"Walk!"

Ye Li did not want to fight at all. Taking advantage of the moment when Xuan Cong was confused and the power of his domain was in disorder, he grabbed Qin Yixuan, who was also shocked. At the same time, he took the risk of forcing his other hand into the prison cell where the energy was still chaotic. He used the power of the fragments of the Samsara Mirror to temporarily suppress and wrap the failed "container" and put it into the extremely unstable temporary space forcibly opened up by the fragments of the Samsara Mirror (this move was extremely risky and might cause the fragment space to collapse or even backfire on itself). Then, without hesitation, he once again activated the last life-saving, relatively weak random teleportation talisman on his body!

This time, Xuan Cong was unable to stop it in time because of the shock to his mind and the backlash of his domain.

A flash of light passed, and the two figures became blurry and unreal again.

Inside the dungeon, the only ones left were Xuan Cong, whose face was ashen and whose eyes were so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of them, and the Demon Lord of Rotten Claws, who was stunned and forgot to attack for a moment.

Xuan Cong stared at the spot where Ye Li had vanished, the murderous intent in his eyes practically solidifying. He slowly clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. "The true meaning of reincarnation... She's actually reached this point... It seems the plan must be brought forward immediately! Ye Li... you will ultimately become the most perfect sacrifice for the ritual, helping me complete this final transformation!"

He turned abruptly and spoke coldly to the still-shocked Corrupted Claw Demon Lord, his voice as cold as ice: "Prepare immediately, activate the backup plan, secretly transfer the 'key' to the Silent Soul Abyss, and initiate the final alert! Notify Ling Hao, the final phase begins immediately! Regardless of the cost!"
