Chapter 305: Rebirth - I Became the Grandpa (Part 29)
Inside the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone.
Tens of millions of years ago, the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord, who had once shaken the world, had fallen here. The terrifying Dao he left behind had annihilated the surrounding sea of universes. For the past ten million years, no transcendent had dared to set foot inside. A great terror lurked within.
Now, as time passed, the dissolving Dao of the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone began to dissipate. Only then could others glimpse a corner of the iceberg.
Countless enormous, god-like corpses floated in the void. Each remnant body was heavy enough to crush innumerable universes. The weapon fragments that had lost their Dao laws still faintly emanated the power to sever everything.
Countless Rulers above the tenth tribulation had died in that battle.
Just how brutal had the siege against the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord by the forces of the various immortal domains been?
Outside the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone, many powerful forces had already been waiting for a long time.
"The Myriad Laws Emperor Lord… was indeed a powerhouse. He caused quite a headache for my Main God Hall before he finally died."
"One strand of immortal qi created a legend. If I can obtain it, I won't be inferior to the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord."
"Brother… he won't be dead!"
"......"
Greed filled the eyes of the powerhouses from countless forces.
In the direction of the Void Cosmic Sea, an unparalleled figure stared at the depths of the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone, her voice resolute.
"Brother Di…"
In the Chaos Divine Palace, Qin Wujie's expression was complicated. He and Di Chen had fought and competed for tens of millions of years. He refused to believe Di Chen was dead. He wanted to witness with his own eyes what had truly happened back then.
In the direction of the Dark Night Royal Court, Di Chan remained silent.
"Master… this disciple will definitely uncover the truth behind your death!"
Di Chan did not believe Su Chen had been killed by a simple siege. Her master had always been so cautious. How could he have left no contingencies?
Dongfang Yunxing sensed a familiar aura—one that shared the same origin as the Myriad Laws Dao he cultivated.
"Could Master… be the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord who fell ten million years ago?"
Dongfang Yunxing thought to himself. Su Chen had never revealed his identity, only taught him cultivation. He had always been extremely mysterious.
"No wonder Master never told me his identity. Perhaps his enemies were simply too powerful, and he feared it would disrupt my cultivation path. I must cultivate even harder. As his disciple, I cannot ignore the grudge of Master's death!"
Dongfang Yunxing's eyes were filled with firm resolve.
Su Chen found it strange that Dongfang Yunxing suddenly seemed like a different person, his aura sharp and determined. He did not mind if Dongfang Yunxing guessed his previous life's identity.
Among the gathered forces, Su Chen also spotted a few familiar figures.
Qin Wujie, Chi Yao, and Di Chan had all advanced tremendously in the time since his fall. They could now be considered powerhouses even within the Land of Immortality.
This was good news. The bad news was that he sensed the auras of the forces that had caused his fall in his previous life.
Su Chen would not forget them. He had always been confident in this regard.
"The secret of the Heaven's Mandate Pearl must not be exposed!"
If a true immortal's legacy treasure were revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As the terrifying Dao dissipated, the various powerful existences led their forces into the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone.
Dongfang Yunxing followed them inside as well.
Qin Wujie had come to accept that Di Chen was truly dead.
"Brother Di… you helped me so much… Why didn't you tell me when you faced a life-and-death crisis? Am I not worthy of being your brother?"
Grief filled Qin Wujie's heart. After persisting for tens of millions of years, he had finally received the news he least wanted to hear. He had never defeated Di Chen!
"Di Chen, you bastard. Are you planning to make me live under your shadow for the rest of my life? What a good plan. Truly a good plan."
Qin Wujie laughed, but the laughter was filled with sorrow. This War God of the Chaos Divine Palace, a twenty-three-tribulation Ruler powerful enough to dominate the Land of Immortality, was overwhelmed with sadness.
Suddenly, he sensed a familiar fluctuation.
That fluctuation rapidly spread throughout the entire Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone.
The laws boiled. It was an aura he knew all too well. Though it was slightly different.
Qin Wujie vanished.
...
In the Dark Night Royal Court, Di Chan slaughtered countless transcendents, turning the land into a sea of blood.
"She's gone mad… Di Chan, have you lost your mind? Do you want the Dark Night Royal Court to go to war with all of us?"
Di Chan's killing had terrified countless forces.
A twenty-five-tribulation Ruler.
Without anyone noticing, Di Chan's strength had reached the twenty-fifth tribulation.
Di Chan's face was ice-cold as she killed the one who had spoken.
"Master is dead. Right and wrong no longer matter to me. Every force that attacked Master must be destroyed, even if it triggers an immortal war!"
Her voice was cold, her killing intent sharp as a blade.
Walking across mountains of corpses and seas of blood, her resolve only grew stronger.
Suddenly, Di Chan's expression changed. The ice in her eyes melted.
"Master… is that you?"
Di Chan sensed a familiar yet strange aura that resonated with the entire Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone!
......
Dongfang Yunxing had found the immortal qi that had emerged.
This was a great opportunity.
Great opportunities were often accompanied by great danger.
"Master… what should we do now?"
The commotion caused by the immortal qi's appearance was too great.
Dongfang Yunxing faintly sensed terrifying auras staring at him, filled with ruthless killing intent.
A calm voice sounded in his mind.
"It seems that at this point, we can only use that move."
Dongfang Yunxing was stunned, then overjoyed. "Master, you really have a solution!"
He was under immense pressure. He was still just a novice who had cultivated for less than three million years.
"Do not hold back. Release the aura on your body and trigger the resonance of the heavenly imprints. Your master is tired and needs to sleep for a while. Do not mention me, and do not reveal my identity."
Dongfang Yunxing wanted to call out to Su Chen, but the Heaven's Mandate Pearl fell silent once more.
A terrifying aura pierced through the void, attempting to grab Dongfang Yunxing with a single palm.
Dongfang Yunxing gritted his teeth and stopped holding back.
In an instant, the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone boiled…
Chapter 306: Rebirth - I Became the Grandpa (Part 30)
The three thousand strands of immortal qi born from a true immortal's death each contained great secrets.
When immortal qi appeared in the world, its aura could not be concealed.
"The immortal qi has appeared!"
"Bad news, someone has already claimed the immortal qi. Who has such means?"
"Who is that? I've never seen him before. With such weak strength, how did he gain the recognition of the immortal qi?"
"He's courting death. A Sovereign below the twentieth tribulation dares to compete for immortal qi? Even if he obtains it, can he survive?"
"..."
An innocent man carrying a jade is guilty of a crime—this was an unchanging truth throughout the ages.
Dongfang Yunxing's cultivation could be considered strong within the Land of Immortality. But this was the place where the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord had fallen. There was no shortage of beings who had reigned supreme for countless ages.
Under the gaze of many powerful existences, a vast and boundless palm print crossed layer after layer of spatial barriers.
It was a green palm print, engraved with countless crack-like marks. Boundless destructive light broke through myriad shackles and pierced the barriers.
"It's Green Death Emperor Lord!"
"Green Death Emperor Lord has lived in the Land of Immortality for over thirty million years. His strength is unfathomable. He is at least a twenty-second tribulation Ruler."
"I didn't expect such a terrifying existence to enter the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone for this strand of immortal qi."
"......"
That aura ignored the suppression of the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone.
To him, Dongfang Yunxing was nothing more than an ant.
Did an ant deserve to obtain immortal qi?
Just as Green Death Emperor Lord prepared to slap Dongfang Yunxing to death and seize the immortal qi, two eyes like suns emitting green light appeared in the vast nothingness. They carried the aura of immortal life.
The dead Dao within the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone was stirred. It transformed into a pillar of light that enveloped Dongfang Yunxing's body.
The aura of annihilation that silenced all laws moved like a dragon, following the terrifying giant hand and slowly eradicating it.
The sudden change shocked everyone.
"That is… the exact same aura as the fallen Myriad Laws Emperor Lord. Could the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord be resurrecting?"
Everyone's hair stood on end.
The terrifying Myriad Laws Emperor Lord had dominated the Land of Immortality for tens of millions of years. Too many powerhouses from various forces had died at his hands. Even legendary Emperor Lord aptitude monsters with ten-star aptitude had been killed by him.
After being plotted against by the immortal domains for millions of years, he had taken countless powerful enemies down with him in mutual destruction.
After his death, his Dao had formed the terrifying Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone that had suppressed the area for ten million years.
Now, was a terrifying contingency left behind by such an existence about to awaken?
"Even if the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord resurrects, so what? He was ultimately a failure on the path to immortality. This strand of immortal qi belongs to me!"
Green Death Emperor Lord's voice was domineering, filled with unparalleled confidence.
A long spear pierced through the distant void, breaking through layers of order chains. The Dao that suppressed everything was shattered by him.
Too much time had passed.
"What a pity… Even if that kid is a contingency left by the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord and can mobilize the aura within the Absolute Dao Forbidden Zone, he is still no match for a peak Emperor Lord."
"After ten million years, the Dao that once suppressed everything has long since faded away."
Green Death Emperor Lord was determined to obtain this strand of immortal qi.
Dongfang Yunxing broke out in cold sweat. He had nowhere to retreat, nowhere to hide.
The protective barrier around him shattered.
"Master… you'd better be reliable. Your disciple's life is entirely in your hands!"
Dongfang Yunxing didn't dare open his eyes.
That single spear gleam arrived in an instant. He could even feel the aura that could exterminate everything.
Creation and destruction.
Creation could birth all things, and it could destroy all things.
Before the spear gleam even arrived, Dongfang Yunxing felt his own Dao being torn apart.
One strike meant certain death.
Dongfang Yunxing could only place all his hopes on the contingency his master had mentioned.
At the critical moment, through a narrow slit in his eyes, Dongfang Yunxing saw a slender, jade-white hand.
It pinched the tip of the spear.
In that instant, from the spear tip to the shaft, everything began to reverse.
The indestructible divine weapon disintegrated bit by bit.
"That is…"
Vaguely, an ancient tree appeared, breaking through the void.
Billions of green leaves hung from it, each one like a universe.
Gods and demons stood tall while ages withered.
"It's her!"
The ancient tree transformed into a peerless beauty.
"Jade Pool Emperor Lord…"
The woman of unparalleled grace surveyed her surroundings with eyes that looked down upon everything, like an unrivaled empress.
Finally, her gaze landed on Green Death Emperor Lord.
"He is under my protection."
That sharp gaze caused Green Death Emperor Lord's face to pale as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
"What terrifying control over creation…"
Green Death Emperor Lord also cultivated the Dao of Creation. He could clearly sense the strength of this peerless woman.
She was definitely a Sovereign above the twenty-fifth tribulation!
Terrifying beyond measure!
Dongfang Yunxing was stunned. But he quickly recovered.
"Could this… be Master's contingency?"
He could not see through the woman's cultivation. However…he could feel it. The woman before him was incredibly powerful.
At the very least, she was far stronger than the terrifying existence that had attacked him!
Dongfang Yunxing watched as the mysterious and powerful woman turned to look at him.
Those eyes saw through everything about him.
"You… are not him."
In the eyes of the mysterious and powerful woman, Dongfang Yunxing saw a trace of disappointment.
"Why do you carry my brother's aura? The Myriad Laws Emperor Scripture and the Undying Nirvana Art you cultivate are both his inheritances."
Dongfang Yunxing's soul trembled. He felt an irresistible urge to reveal everything.
But…His reason still chose to follow his master's command.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I obtained the Myriad Laws Emperor Scripture and the Undying Nirvana Art through a fortunate encounter."
Dongfang Yunxing saw the mysterious and powerful woman look at him deeply. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
"Although you are not him… you are still my brother's disciple. Whoever dares to bully you is making an enemy of me, Chi Yao!"
"Jade Pool Emperor Lord… actually called the fallen Myriad Laws Emperor Lord "brother."
"Jade Pool Emperor Lord… you cannot protect him."
"The successor of the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord must die."
"The Myriad Laws Emperor Lord killed many captains of my Main God Hall. His successor cannot be allowed to live."
"Jade Pool Emperor Lord, you should step aside. For the sake of the Void Cosmic Sea, we will not pursue your relationship with the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord. But the successor of the Myriad Laws Emperor Lord must die!"
"..."
Chaos surged. Powerful figures manifested one after another. They came from the various immortal domain forces.
