The Reincarnation Saint hurriedly said, “You can’t get close, once you do, your Great Dao will be nirvana’d into reincarnation, but not your own, it’ll be absorbed into someone else’s reincarnation path.”
“No worries, I’m just getting a bit closer,” Lan Xiaobu replied, already standing before the reincarnation law patterns.
He was waiting, waiting for the Cosmic Dimension Model to construct the dimensional structure of these patterns.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu ignore his warning, the Reincarnation Saint followed reluctantly. Before he could speak, the void wall formed by the patterns exploded, transforming into a spinning—or perhaps not spinning—black hole that surged toward Lan Xiaobu and the Saint.
The Saint’s face paled, he retreated frantically while shouting, “This is derived from the Past Life Law, get out now, or it’ll reflect your past life and turn you into a fragment of someone else’s Past Life Law…”
As he spoke, he’d already fled a hundred miles, the wild reincarnation charm rushing over, at this point, even if Lan Xiaobu wanted to escape, it was too late.
From afar, the Saint sighed, certain Lan Xiaobu couldn’t break free of this Past Life Law black hole, he even wondered if his earlier guess was correct, if not, how could Lan Xiaobu’s reflected past life in the Six Paths Nirvana Barrier be so terrifying?
While the Saint pondered, he saw Lan Xiaobu, who’d been still, not retreating but stepping forward, a long halberd suddenly appearing in his hand, the next moment, he thrust it toward the black hole brimming with boundless reincarnation aura.
What? Madness?
The Saint’s jaw dropped, he realized Lan Xiaobu wasn’t mad, even from a distance, he could feel the terror of that strike.
The halberd stirred a sound, from faint to clear, birthing an endless killing aura, against the reincarnation black hole even he’d fled, the halberd’s killing momentum grew stronger, as if it might crush the hole itself.
The Saint shivered, so powerful, truly powerful, he didn’t know how Lan Xiaobu did it, but he was sure even as a Seventh-Turn Saint, he couldn’t match this, even with the same ability, he wouldn’t know where to aim.
The halberd’s charm turned tangible, its killing intent piercing the vast void, striking the black hole rolling toward Lan Xiaobu.
Horn cries rose, winds howled blood across miles, the sky unyielding, my halberd’s strike a chorus of death!
“Crack!” The black hole’s charm shattered under the halberd’s killing force, the vortex vanished, the Past Life Law broken by the blow.
In the hazy Six Paths land, only the halberd’s killing light lingered in the void, its boundless intent unyielding, proclaiming its dominion.
The Saint, witnessing this strike, felt his scalp tingle, this divine ability might not be top-tier, but fused with that sound, it was like a king among abilities, all others bowing before it.
Watching Lan Xiaobu stand there, halberd in hand, calm and straight as a pine, the Saint exhaled, he hadn’t guessed wrong, Lan Xiaobu was indeed a universe-opening existence.
The pattern barrier vanished, revealing a bluestone path before Lan Xiaobu, stretching into the distance, at its end stood a man whose face couldn’t be seen, a longsword on his back, floating there, though his features were unclear, Lan Xiaobu sensed his gaze.
“You’re the first to find a flaw in the Reincarnation Pool’s barrier and break my Past Life Law black hole with a divine ability, state your name,” the man said calmly, his form still shrouded in hazy reincarnation charm, as if even after Lan Xiaobu’s feat, he remained a mere ant in his eyes, his tone suggesting he’d kill him once named.
Lan Xiaobu replied coolly, “You’re Wuliang?”
The man snorted, “Yes, I am Wuliang, that halberd strike had some flair, but don’t think it means anything before me, even if you matched my strength, there’s still first come, first served, you tore open my cultivation site’s barrier and dare act so rudely.”
The fleeing Saint landed behind Lan Xiaobu, transmitting, “Brother Lan, I found this pool first, he drove me off and took it.”
Lan Xiaobu said, “This isn’t yours, it’s the Six Paths Nirvana Land, open to anyone, besides, even by first-come rules, my friend was here before, regardless, since it’s a shared space, you cultivated yesterday, now it’s our turn today.”
“Hahaha…” Wuliang laughed wildly, “In my countless years, I’ve seen cosmic geniuses, but never one as arrogant as you, fine, let’s see what you’ve got.”
The Saint grew uneasy, hearing Wuliang’s words, he realized something and urgently transmitted to Lan Xiaobu, “Strike now, he’s at his weakest, he’s building the Construct Wheel Law, he might not even muster a tenth of his strength, if we don’t act now…”
Before he finished, Wuliang’s cold gaze swept over him, “I should’ve killed you, ant, back then, didn’t expect you’d find help and return, true, even while building my reincarnation channel, killing you’d be effortless.”
The Saint stepped back, startled, realizing that, let alone as a Fifth-Turn Saint, even at Sixth or Seventh-Turn, his transmission here couldn’t hide from Wuliang, who was already forming a reincarnation channel, this space riddled with his law fragments.
Hearing this, Lan Xiaobu’s aura surged, his Longevity Halberd let out a clear chime, waves of desolate energy spread from him, though this was the Six Paths Nirvana Land, Wuliang and the Saint felt a thickening autumnal chill.
“Let’s see how you kill us ants,” Lan Xiaobu said, the autumn intent deepening, the space seeming to evolve into a real world, no longer a gray reincarnation channel.
The world shifted from gray to a bleak, deep autumn yellow, colors emerging from the monochrome.
Feeling his Construct Wheel Law, once sharpening, blur again, Wuliang’s expression changed, he was certain Lan Xiaobu deeply understood reincarnation laws, or he couldn’t wield such an intent ability, if it fully unfolded, his Construct Wheel Law would fade completely, who knew how long it’d take to re-comprehend.
“Wait, if you keep going, I’ll abandon the Construct Wheel Law to kill you both, I’m willing to let you use this place for a while, but you must lend me the Reincarnation Scroll for a time, otherwise, I’ll destroy my Construct Wheel Law to take you down,” Wuliang said, unwilling to let Lan Xiaobu build further, he saw Lan Xiaobu didn’t fear his threats, what was this guy’s deal, knowing his name but not his past?
He was sure Lan Xiaobu had seen the Scroll, or he wouldn’t know what disrupted the Construct Wheel Law most, building a reincarnation channel was all yin-yang aura, a陰冥法則, no life force allowed during comprehension, autumn’s chill, however bleak, carried life, a human realm law.
Lan Xiaobu said flatly, “I’d have to pull out the Scroll and beg you to leave? Heh, who do you think you are, Ninth-Turn Saint so impressive? Let’s see how impressive today.”
As he spoke, the autumn intent grew bleaker, the space’s colors more vivid.
Wuliang took a deep breath, softening his tone, “Whether Ninth-Turn Saints are impressive isn’t for me to say, attack and find out, if we fight, I’ll kill you both, losing only my Construct Wheel Law, I can spend years rebuilding it.”
“Rebuild it, but are you willing to reincarnate again?” the Saint mocked from the side.
As a Reincarnation Great Dao cultivator, he knew that if the Construct Wheel Law broke during comprehension, rebuilding required reincarnation, otherwise, it couldn’t be completed, in his view, it was the hardest of the Six Paths, even tougher than the Reincarnation Law itself.
