Chapter 156: Nirvana and Rebirth, the Supreme is Expected
Ye Li, having successfully achieved Nirvana, hovered quietly above the Silent Soul Abyss. A chaotic, radiant aura of Nirvana flowed around her, her aura as profound as the ocean, creating an eerie harmony with this deadly place. She felt the immense spiritual power surging within her, its quality transformed tenfold, and her understanding of the Law of Reincarnation deepened. It felt as if a single gesture could unleash the cycle of birth and death throughout the universe. The four fragments of the Samsara Mirror hovered securely within her reshaped, increasingly resilient and vast sea of consciousness, tightly connected to her newly reborn Nirvana soul. They commanded her with ease, their resonance resonating with her, revealing a power far beyond their former power.
Her gaze swept calmly over Ling Hao and the other two on the altar below, whose faces were ashen and eyes were full of doubt and uncertainty, and finally fell on Qin Yixuan, whose face was full of excitement and relief, with tears still on her face. She nodded slightly and gave her a reassuring look.
"I never thought... you actually did it... in the Silent Soul Abyss, achieving Nirvana with the combined efforts of the three of us..." Ling Hao's voice was filled with suppressed anger and disbelief, even a hint of fear that he was unwilling to admit. "Ye Li, you always manage to defy my expectations, time and time again breaking the rules."
Xuan Cong's eyes were as cold as a thousand years of ice, his murderous intent practically solidified. "You're only at the peak of the early stages of Nirvana. You've just reshaped yourself. What can you change? It's just to add a higher-quality sacrifice to the ritual! Your soul and the fragments of the Samsara Mirror will be the best nourishment for the Holy Lord's arrival!"
Mo Shang was surrounded by poisonous mist, and he spoke in a sinister voice, his voice losing some of its previous composure and gaining a hint of solemnity: "It's just right. With the Soul of Nirvana and the complete fragments of the Samsara Mirror as a trigger, it is enough to completely break the seal and welcome the glory of the Holy Lord!"
Ye Li looked at them, her eyes calm and composed, as if observing a frog in a well. She slowly raised her hand, and the Mystic Ice Sword coalesced once more, but this time, it was completely different. The blade was translucent, as if condensed from primordial energy. The Dao patterns of life and death flowed naturally across it, and the sword's melodious sound seemed to contain the first wisps of Dao sound from the dawn of heaven and earth. It was no longer just a weapon, but more like an extension of her own path to reincarnation.
"You know nothing about power, and you even blaspheme reincarnation." Ye Li's voice was cold, yet it carried a penetrating power that pointed directly to the origin of the Great Dao. "Today, I will show you what true reincarnation is!"
She didn't perform any complicated or fancy moves, but simply slashed forward with her sword.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation: The Furnace of Heaven and Earth!"
The sword was not aimed at a specific person, but the intention enveloped the entire altar area! The sword intention transformed into an invisible, huge furnace phantom, enveloping Ling Hao, Xuan Cong, Mo Shang, and the inverted cross altar!
Within the furnace, the whirlwind of sword energy no longer shone, but unfolded a complete cycle of birth, extinction, and rebirth. Nebulae converged, giving birth to stars; plants grew, flowers blossomed; civilizations rose, flourishing; and then, stars fell, all things withered, civilizations vanished... These images of reincarnation were incredibly real, interwoven into a vast, terrifying force designed to bind all things to their predetermined cycle, forcing them to follow the laws of birth and death!
In this "Furnace of Heaven and Earth", Ling Hao's magic light of erosion seemed to have met its natural nemesis. Its corrosive and destructive characteristics were constantly decomposed and transformed by the power of reincarnation and incorporated into a new cycle; Xuan Cong's means of time and space were seriously disturbed, as if he was trapped in an endless sea of reincarnation, difficult to locate and difficult to break free; Mo Shang's poisonous law was quickly diluted, purified, and reorganized by the endless and evolving image of reincarnation!
The three Supreme Beings, under the domain formed by this sword, actually felt the danger of their own laws being suppressed, assimilated, and incorporated into the other party's "reincarnation" system! It was as if they were no longer the transcendent Supreme Beings, but had become the materials to be "smelted" in this reincarnation furnace!
"Impossible!" Ling Hao roared, unleashing the full force of his Erosion Realm power, attempting to corrode the barrier of the Samsara Furnace. Xuan Cong also unleashed his most powerful magical power, the Time and Space Slicing Technique, attempting to tear through the realm. Mo Shang even unleashed his innate poison source, accumulated over ten thousand years, transforming into a ferocious, ten-foot-tall poisonous dragon, striking the furnace's core.
However, Ye Li's Samsara Sword Intent, a fusion of her newfound enlightenment after Nirvana, the inherent power of the Samsara Mirror fragments, and her ingenious use of the Silent Soul Abyss, reached such a high level that it had already touched upon the core laws of this universe! Especially in the Silent Soul Abyss, where the line between life and death is most blurred, her Samsara Path flourished, its power multiplied!
The furnace churned, the cycle of reincarnation never ceased. The attacks of the three supreme beings were like firewood thrown into the furnace, in fact, to a certain extent, accelerating the evolution of the reincarnation scene within the furnace, making the assimilation and rotation force even more powerful! Their supreme domains seemed somewhat dwarfed by this "Furnace of Heaven and Earth"!
"Her path... has already taken shape as the prototype of the 'world'! We can't hold back any longer!" Xuan Cong's face looked extremely ugly as he sent a message to Ling Hao and Mo Shang, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.
A flash of madness flashed in Ling Hao's eyes. He bit his tongue hard and spurted out a mouthful of blood containing the Supreme Origin onto the altar: "With my blood, I summon the power of the Holy Lord! Open the gate to the Eclipse Realm!"
The altar shook violently, and the three fragments of the Samsara Mirror above erupted in a blinding black light. Combining with Ling Hao's essence and blood, it forcibly tore a tiny crack within the furnace, leading to endless darkness and chaos—the beginnings of a passage to the Eclipse Realm! A more refined, even more terrifying force, imbued with an endless will to devour and destroy, seeped out from it, and began to resist and corrode Ye Li's Samsara Furnace!
At the same time, the imprisoned Ye Feng and Su Wan's "Reincarnation Marks" suddenly lit up between their brows. As if summoned and stimulated by some instinct, they began to struggle violently. A surge of ancient and sacred power, originating from the deepest part of their blood, spontaneously erupted, creating a fierce confrontation and repulsion with the power of the Erosion Realm Channel! The two extreme forces used their bodies as a battlefield, causing them unbearable pain and making their breath even weaker.
Under Ye Li's pressure, Ling Hao forced the ceremony to a critical moment by sacrificing its origin!
Ye Li's eyes glared. She could sense her parents' aura weakening rapidly due to this confrontation. The "Mark of Reincarnation" was both a protection and a burden! She had to break the deadlock and rescue her parents as soon as possible!
She fixed her sights on Mo Shang, who was relatively weaker and whose skills were restrained to a certain extent by the power of reincarnation!
"Let's start with you!"
Ye Li moved, as if merging into the trajectory of reincarnation, instantly penetrating the barrier of the oven and appearing before Mo Shang! Her speed was so fast that it transcended the boundaries of time and space, as if she was supposed to be there!
Mo Shang was horrified. He hadn't expected Ye Li to maintain such a powerful domain while also possessing such terrifying speed! The poisonous mist surrounding him condensed and contracted frantically, transforming into an incredibly thick, dark green shield engraved with the runes of the Myriad Poisons. Simultaneously, countless poisonous stingers, capable of corroding the soul and annihilating the very source of life, rained down upon Ye Li's vital points like a torrential rain!
Ye Li did not dodge or evade, and gently slashed forward with the chaotic-colored black ice sword in his hand.
"Reincarnation: All Poisons Return to the Ruins!"
Wherever the sword flashed, the shields and thorns imbued with the laws of venom seemed to have experienced the erosion of billions of years and the baptism of reincarnation. The toxicity within them quickly dissipated, decomposing, their structure collapsing, and ultimately transforming into the most fundamental, harmless spiritual energy of heaven and earth, returning to nothingness and feeding back into the furnace! The power of reincarnation could even trace the laws themselves back to their source, causing them to "return to the abyss"!
"What?!" Mo Shang's pupils suddenly shrank, his face full of disbelief. The Way of Ten Thousand Poisons, which made him famous and made countless supreme beings fear him, was so vulnerable in front of Ye Li's Samsara Sword Intent, like ice and snow meeting the sun!
Phew!
At the moment when his mind was lost and he was terrified, the Xuanbing Sword seemed to have transcended cause and effect, ignoring all his defenses and dodges, and pierced into his forehead accurately and casually!
The sword intent of annihilation and the power of reincarnation and return to the abyss erupted at the same time!
Mo Shang's body suddenly stiffened, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed and dispersed. He opened his mouth, as if wanting to utter a final curse or exclamation, but in the end, his supreme demon body and immortal soul, under the terrifying sword intent that contained the true meaning of life and death and reincarnation, disintegrated bit by bit like a weathered sand sculpture, turning into the tiniest particles that had lost all their characteristics, and completely dissipated in the reincarnation furnace, becoming a nutrient for the operation of the furnace.
The fall of the supreme!
Mo Shang, a supreme being who had stood at the pinnacle of the spirit world for countless years and was feared for his evil deeds, was annihilated, becoming the first soul to fall under Ye Li's sword after his nirvana! He was also the first supreme being to be clearly fallen in the spirit world in nearly ten thousand years!
Ling Hao and Xuan Cong were utterly shocked by this scene, their hearts and souls trembling with fear! Although they had expected Ye Li's strength to increase greatly after his Nirvana, they had never imagined he would be so strong, capable of killing a Supreme Being of the same rank so easily and decisively! This was completely beyond their comprehension!
"Mo Shang!" Ling Hao roared in shock and anger. The dark power surging from the Eclipse Realm channel became even more violent, but a trace of fear flashed across his eyes uncontrollably.
Xuan Cong's expression was utterly gloomy, even pale. He knew that today's battle was completely out of their control. Ye Li's growth rate, and the terrifying power of the Dao she wielded, had completely surpassed their expectations.
Ye Li killed Mo Shang without stopping the sword, and his chaotic eyes turned calmly towards Ling Hao and Xuan Cong.
"Who's next?"
Her voice was not loud, but it carried unparalleled confidence and the majesty of controlling everything, like the voice of judgment that controls reincarnation, echoing clearly above the Soul Abyss of Annihilation, causing Ling Hao and Xuan Cong's hearts to sink completely into the bottomless abyss.
After her rebirth, Ye Li possessed the terrifying power to truly rival and defeat the Supreme Being! The realm of the Supreme Being was no longer out of reach for her, but... within her reach, and even... about to be surpassed!
