Chapter 1691 The Reincarnation Emperor
Lord of the Reincarnation Immortal Palace...
Reincarnation Emperor!
As everyone stepped into the Reincarnation Immortal Palace, they felt the chaotic mist around them instantly dissipate, replaced by a sky full of dazzling stars. The boundless power of the stars flowed like a tangible substance, surging into their limbs and bones along the corridors of the Immortal Palace, slowly lifting their bodies and suspending them in mid-air.
Song Qinghong felt the Daoist energy of reincarnation and the power of stars merging together around him. His originally stable realm was showing signs of a breakthrough. He quickly calmed his mind, but found that his companions had already fallen silent. The Jade Emperor had closed his eyes and focused his mind. The Daoist energy of reincarnation around him intertwined into a golden light screen, drawing out the power of stars without releasing it!
Yang Erlang and the Three-Eyed General stood side by side, their vertical eyes on their foreheads opening simultaneously, their divine light piercing through the starry mist as they warily scanned the surroundings.
Zhang Zishi's palm was surrounded by red light. His internal organs, which had been injured by the palace gate runes, had been healed under the nourishment of the power of the stars. At this moment, he was staring intently at the ever-changing star trails in front of him, trying to glean the true meaning of reincarnation from them.
Only Sun Wukong frowned, his golden cudgel unconsciously gripping his hand, his monkey fur standing on end. He looked at Sun Guyue beside him, who also had a solemn expression, and asked in a deep voice, "These stars in the sky are strange, they can actually isolate me from other people. Can you sense anything unusual?"
Sun Guyue shook his head, his fingertips gathering a wisp of the Dao of Reincarnation to reach out to the stars, but it was immediately repelled by the star power as soon as it touched them. His expression became more and more serious: "These stars are not formed from ordinary star power, but carry the imprint of reincarnation, as if they are deducing the birth and death cycle of all things in the world. We were originally one, and we can still sense each other at this moment. Others would probably have already been separated into different star illusions."
As soon as he finished speaking, the starry sky suddenly trembled violently. Countless star points converged and flowed, forming a series of interconnected cyclical rings before everyone's eyes. The rings were inscribed with dense ancient runes, and as the runes flickered, they emitted a powerful pressure that made everyone tremble!
That pressure was far more terrifying than the divine pressure of an immortal lord, and even more profound than the pressure of Ying Zheng's half-step Dao God. It carried a supreme majesty that looked down on all ages and controlled the reincarnation of all living beings. It was the residual power of the Daoist aura left behind by the Reincarnation Emperor!
"Is this the method of the master of this place? He can actually set up a reincarnation array with stars!"
Yang Erlang spoke in a deep voice, and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword quietly appeared in his hand, with the Daoist essence of reincarnation condensing on it. "Everyone, be careful. This great formation can not only divide space, but it may also arouse our inner obsessions and past experiences. If we are not careful, we will be trapped in it and our Dao hearts will be shattered!"
Before he could finish speaking, the three-eyed general beside him suddenly groaned, and the light in the vertical eye on his forehead dimmed slightly. In the star cycle before him, the scene of the ancient battlefield appeared, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood...
"Concentrate! Don't be deceived by the illusions before you!"
Upon seeing this, Yang Erlang immediately swung his sword and unleashed a dazzling blade of light, carrying the Dao of Reincarnation, towards the illusion before the Three-Eyed General. Where the blade of light passed, the stars and the cycle of reincarnation trembled slightly, and the illusion shattered instantly.
The Three-Eyed General suddenly awoke, panting heavily, his eyes filled with lingering fear: "Thank you, this illusion was too real, I almost succumbed to it."
The Jade Emperor slowly opened his eyes, his imperial aura growing ever stronger. He raised his hand and waved his hand, and the golden Daoist essence transformed into countless points of light, falling around everyone and forming a protective barrier!
"The Samsara Array uses the mind as its guide and the past as its bait. You must guard your Dao heart and observe its cycle of reincarnation, rather than becoming deeply entangled in it. The Samsara Emperor set up this array not to make things difficult for us, but to test us and, more importantly, to pass on his legacy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the star cycle in front of him suddenly changed again, with countless rings stacked on top of each other, transforming into a huge star ladder. At the end of the ladder, clouds and mist swirled, and a floating temple could be vaguely seen!
Above that temple!
On both sides of the Heavenly Ladder, countless phantoms formed by stars slowly emerged. There were images of ancient gods fighting, ancient cultivators, and ancient gods, as well as the myriad aspects of life, including reincarnation, birth, aging, sickness, and death. Each phantom was a record of time by the Reincarnation Emperor!
Ying Zheng walked slowly at the front of the Heavenly Ladder. His aura as a half-step Dao God and the Dao of Reincarnation were perfectly integrated. The runes on the Starry Heavenly Ladder flickered around him without any hindrance.
Four words flashed into Ying Zheng's brow!
Ying Zheng turned to look at the crowd, his voice carrying far and wide through the power of the stars: "This is the Heavenly Ladder of Reincarnation. Each step corresponds to a trial of reincarnation. The higher you go, the more dangerous the trial, but the more opportunities you will gain. Remember, as long as your Dao heart remains intact, you will not fall into the cycle of reincarnation. Do not forget your original intention because of temporary gains or losses!"
After saying that, he took the lead and stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder. With each step he took, a star above the ladder would light up, and the Daoist energy would flow and nourish his body.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and stepped onto the seemingly ethereal yet incredibly solid Star Ladder!
Sun Wukong was the first to follow, his golden cudgel twirling gently in his hand. The moment he took his first step, the power of the stars around him suddenly surged...
All sorts of unbearable past scenes, the images of being humiliated and toyed with by the Western Buddha, instantly flooded into my mind!
"How could my Dao heart be swayed by your illusions!"
Sun Wukong roared and slammed his golden cudgel into the ground. The Dao of Reincarnation erupted, and his body shone with golden light. "The past is settled. The path I, Old Sun, will take is forward, not backward!"
The moment the golden cudgel struck, the illusion shattered, the runes on the Star Ladder lit up, and a surge of pure reincarnation power flowed into his body, giving him a deeper understanding of the fusion between reincarnation and his own supernatural abilities.
Soon, the illusion dissipated...
As Zhang Zishi stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder, what appeared before his eyes was the scene of his youth when the villagers were killed and he fled to Song Yu to become his disciple!
And later, he followed the Evil Emperor in his cultivation...
Learn the art of runes!
Finally, I climbed up step by step...
The moment the illusion shattered, everyone's Dao aura surged, and their cultivation levels began to improve simultaneously!
As everyone ascended the heavenly ladder step by step, enduring countless trials of illusion, their resolve to cultivate became increasingly firm, and their cultivation levels improved to varying degrees.
Ying Zheng always walked at the forefront. What he saw was not an illusion, but the unfolding of countless cycles of reincarnation, from ancient times to the present, from all living beings to gods. Every cycle of reincarnation was clearly presented before him.
At this moment, the Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of Heavenly Ladder around Ying Zheng were perfectly integrated, and the pressure of the half-step Dao God became more and more intense, as if he could take that final step at any time and achieve the true position of Dao God!
After an unknown amount of time, the group finally reached the top of the Heavenly Ladder and arrived before the Temple of Reincarnation.
The temple is a thousand feet tall and is made entirely of star gold and reincarnation stone. Above the temple gate is engraved a giant reincarnation beast that is circling. The beast's eyes are closed, but it exudes the majesty of the one who controls life and death and reincarnation!
Around the temple, four giant dragon pillars stand tall, inscribed with the ancient laws of reincarnation. The runes flicker and the Daoist aura flows, inspiring awe in everyone.
Just as everyone stopped to watch, the temple gates slowly opened, and a surge of reincarnation power, even more concentrated than that on the Heavenly Ladder, rushed out. Inside the temple, a phantom figure dressed in a black imperial robe and wearing a reincarnation imperial crown slowly emerged.
The phantom was surrounded by stars and permeated with the Dao of Reincarnation. Although it was only a residual image, it exuded a pressure that made heaven and earth tremble, as if the entire Reincarnation Immortal Palace, and even the entire world, were under its control.
The owner of this phantom is none other than the Reincarnation Emperor!
"Finally, someone has been able to ascend the Heavenly Ladder of Reincarnation and arrive at my temple."
The voice of the Reincarnation Emperor was deep and majestic, spreading in all directions through the power of reincarnation. Every word seemed to carry the power of reincarnation, echoing in the souls of everyone present: "I am the Reincarnation Emperor, who governs the eternal cycle of reincarnation!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shaken to their core and quickly composed themselves, looking solemnly at the emperor's figure.
Everyone's expressions turned solemn. The being that could exert such pressure on him was far more powerful than any god he had ever seen. The reputation of the Samsara Emperor was indeed well-deserved!
Ying Zheng stepped forward slowly, his half-step Dao God aura slightly subdued, and bowed to the figure of the Reincarnation Emperor: "Ying Zheng has brought everyone here to spy on the Emperor's inheritance!"
The Samsara Emperor's gaze fell on Ying Zheng, a hint of approval flashing in his deep eyes: "Half-step Dao God Realm, it's a pity you're human, not my God Race! But the fact that you've come this far is enough to prove your potential."
His gaze swept over the crowd, and he nodded slightly.
"You are all excellent!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The Reincarnation Emperor smiled and waved his hand, his voice ringing out again: "I have already perished in the ancient war of the gods, leaving behind this afterimage and the Reincarnation Immortal Palace!"
"The War of the Ancient Gods?"
The figure of the Reincarnation Emperor dimmed slightly, a trace of vicissitude flashing in his eyes, "In the ancient times, all races coexisted!"
"Our divine race stands above all other races in the world!"
"And that alien race... is..."
"You humans!"
Everyone: "..."
Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and at that moment, an unparalleled pressure instantly swept over everyone!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took a step forward, instantly unleashing the power of a half-step Dao God!
Rumble!
Two terrifying energies began to collide.
The violent collision caused the world to change color instantly!
The vast starry river surged instantly, and everyone began to sway within it, their figures becoming unsteady. If it weren't for Ying Zheng blocking their way, they would have been crushed by this oppressive force long ago.
"Heh, you've got some skills."
The phantom of the Reincarnation Emperor raised his hand, and an immense pressure swept towards everyone in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng quickly stepped forward, saying, "You all step back and leave it to me!"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he single-handedly resisted the pressure from the Reincarnation Emperor.
puff!
He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and Ying Zheng's face turned deathly pale, but he still didn't retreat an inch.
"Hmph, you are nothing but a phantom. If the real me were here, I would be somewhat afraid of you, but what do I have to fear from a mere phantom?"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, a black dragon phantom appeared behind him, its aura suddenly surging, "Destroy it for me!!!"
