The Dao of Reincarnation (373-374) (Patreon)

Chapter 373: The Main God Space (Part 29)

Yellow Springs Realm.

After helping Gongsun Ling resolve her crisis, Su Chen took her to wander through the forbidden lands of the Yellow Springs Realm to comprehend the Dao of life and death.

Gongsun Ling was a heaven-gifted talent to begin with. With Su Chen's guidance, her understanding of the Great Dao of life and death advanced at an astonishing speed.

On the Yellow Springs battlefield, the Fourth Scourge launched another invasion, triggering a brutal great battle.

The strength of the Yellow Springs Realm was far greater than that of the Illusory Sea Realm. With a total of ten Dao Lord-level powerhouses, they managed to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the Fourth Scourge.

However, the biggest problem soon emerged. As long as the Fourth Scourge had enough revival coins, they were immortal. When a Dao Lord of the Yellow Springs Realm died, they were truly dead.

"You want to use the living beings of my Yellow Springs Realm to break open that gate?"

The remaining Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm faced the mysterious youth who had suddenly intruded. One of them rejected Su Chen's request without hesitation. "Such monstrous karma is something my Yellow Springs Realm cannot bear... Moreover, you have no proof. In the end, whether my Yellow Springs Realm wins or the evil demons win is still unknown."

Looking at the confident Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm, Su Chen sighed lightly.

In an instant, the five remaining Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm all assisted Su Chen in breaking open the gate through his method.

He had not been asking for their opinion. He had merely inquired politely once. He had not expected any of the Yellow Springs Realm Dao Lords to actually refuse his request. Su Chen could only very "respectfully" help them make the decision.

Boundless filthy energy assaulted the gate.

"The rules on that gate have been strengthened."

The power of the rules on the gate in the Yellow Springs Realm was much stronger than in the Illusory Sea Realm.

Su Chen knew this was undoubtedly the work of the master behind the Fourth Scourge.

This also told Su Chen that the master of the Fourth Scourge had not yet recovered to the level of a true immortal. If he had, he would never have given him this opportunity.

Borrowing the power of the Yellow Springs Realm, Su Chen ultimately succeeded in weakening the rules enough for him to pass through. However, the number of Yellow Springs Realm living beings who died was far greater than anticipated.

Su Chen thoughtfully transferred the karma of the Yellow Springs Realm onto its several Dao Lords.

Gongsun Ling witnessed everything firsthand. Su Chen had not hidden it from her.

"Do you think your master is too cruel?"

Faced with this sudden question, bewilderment appeared in Gongsun Ling's eyes.

The number of living beings who had died by her hand was not small. It was perfectly normal for a great battle to destroy countless worlds.

But the living beings she had killed amounted to less than a drop in the ocean compared to a grand sacrifice like this.

Su Chen said calmly, "What your master wants to teach you is that the path of cultivation requires weighing the pros and cons. You cannot be soft-hearted."

"If we cannot completely kill the evil demons, the Yellow Springs Realm will eventually be completely destroyed by them, with not a single survivor left. At that point, weighing the pros and cons would be meaningless."

"And the reason they can be sacrificed so easily is simply that they are not strong enough. If they were strong enough to charge into the gate themselves, there would be no need to sacrifice so many living beings."

Su Chen looked at Gongsun Ling and said coldly, "What your master hopes is that in the future, when you encounter a crisis, you can rely on your own strength and wisdom to overcome it, rather than praying to others or relying on calls for friendship and bonds—methods that beg for heavenly fate. Fate lies within oneself. People must rely on themselves."

In such a short time, Gongsun Ling had become an Emperor and transcended her world. While her talent was outstanding, she had experienced too little... Her Dao Heart was not yet complete. She would inevitably become a pawn for others. Not only those lofty immortals, but even the remnant soul of a mere Lord of Yellow Springs had dared to scheme against her.

Su Chen did not want Gongsun Ling to be awakened by some existence during a future great tribulation through the lingering "thoughts" in her heart, falling into a scheme and dying with her Dao extinguished. Ruthlessness was not heartlessness, but making the most rational judgment. This was something one had to experience to become a true immortal.

Su Chen easily destroyed the revival points. He obtained a large amount of points.

The five Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm suddenly woke up. They discovered that at some point, they had become stained with monstrous karma.

Besides the monstrous karma, the realm treasure of the Yellow Springs Realm had also vanished without a trace. They had no memory whatsoever of what had happened.

...

In a strange space, he saw yet another player legion destroyed, and his face darkened instantly.

"Damn it! Why is it that guy from the Main God Space again!"

He had clearly spent a great price to upgrade the power of the rules. Why could that guy still enter the revival points? And it was not just one gate. Soon after, more bad news arrived.

Another revival point had been destroyed. This drove him nearly mad. The foundations he had painstakingly built up were being destroyed one after another.

Looking at the figure that was about to depart, a trace of killing intent rose in his mind. He wanted to completely erase this youth who had repeatedly ruined his plans.

But in the end, he suppressed the killing intent.

"It must be one of the supreme powerhouses behind the Main God Space influencing my thoughts..."

He restrained his killing intent toward Su Chen. He knew that the youth was merely a pawn. If he took action and was caught by the supreme powerhouses of the Main God Space, it would be over.

"Withdraw. The invasion of the Boundless Strange Domain cannot continue."

Seeing that the invasion had failed, he naturally would not stubbornly fight on and bury the foundations he had accumulated over the years here.

...

Su Chen sensed an aura in the void that wanted to erase everything around it. But that aura only lasted for an instant before disappearing, making one wonder if it had been an illusion.

Su Chen knew it was not an illusion. The master of the Fourth Scourge behind the scenes had developed killing intent toward him, but had ultimately restrained it.

This left Su Chen somewhat disappointed. This master of the Fourth Scourge was much smarter than he had imagined. If the master of the Fourth Scourge had dared to act, the existences behind the Main God Space would not have easily let go of a Fourth Scourge master who was still in a weakened state.

Su Chen's cultivation had reached the peak of the Eleventh Tribulation.

At this moment, the gates of the master of the Fourth Scourge began to withdraw from the Boundless Strange Domain one after another.

This left Su Chen somewhat disappointed.

However, a change occurred.

In a certain location within the Boundless Strange Domain, a powerful aura suddenly erupted. Accompanied by monstrous energy and dense karma, it transformed into a supreme god of slaughter.

An Emperor Lord-level being had been born!

Su Chen raised his head and looked at that Emperor Lord-level being. He carried monstrous karma.

He... had also used the blood sacrifice method to break through the barrier from the peak of the Nineteenth Tribulation to the Twentieth Tribulation Ruler. At least three major realms in the Boundless Strange Domain had been refined. In the end, a savior had appeared. The decision made by the Boundless Strange Domain was the correct one.

Unfortunately, the existence behind the Fourth Scourge clearly had no intention of continuing the fight.

Chapter 374: The Main God Space (Part 30)

"Invading our world, destroying our homes, and now you want to retreat so easily?"

The Emperor Lord-level being looked at the gate that was about to disappear and sneered coldly. "If you want to withdraw now, have you asked the living beings of my Boundless Strange Domain?"

He had paid such a heavy price to finally break through the limits of cultivation in the Boundless Strange Domain and step into the unprecedented Emperor Lord realm.

"This Emperor wants to see what exactly lies on the other side of the gate that allows you evil demons to revive endlessly!"

He actually intended to charge into the other side of the gate. This scene caused the powerhouses of the Boundless Strange Domain to cheer.

Su Chen shook his head. He watched the powerful being charge into the other side of the gate.

The outcome would likely be extremely miserable.

The master of the Fourth Scourge behind the scenes was no fool. The power of the rules now was probably terrifyingly strong. None of this had anything to do with him anymore.

With the Fourth Scourge withdrawing from the Boundless Strange Domain, Su Chen received the message that he could return to the Main God Space.

He looked at Gongsun Ling beside him. Life and death qi flowed endlessly around her. Gongsun Ling now carried a faint trace of indifference. She was truly a rare genius across the myriad heavens. Both her aptitude and comprehension were extremely high. She could comprehend her own Dao without needing too much guidance from him.

"Master, are you planning to leave this place?"

Su Chen nodded. "Your master needs to leave for a while. I hope that when we meet next time, your progress will not disappoint me."

As soon as the words fell, the space around Su Chen shattered like a mirror and turned into a streak of flowing light before disappearing.

There were no overly emotional words of farewell.

Gongsun Ling looked at the disappearing figure and nodded seriously.

A person must rely on themselves!

...

After Su Chen returned to the Main God Space. He looked at the gains from this mission.

Seventeen hundred trillion!

The tenfold multiplier was truly useful. With such massive gains this time, it could be said that he had claimed all the mission resources from the Main God Space by himself. The other Main God Space teams had suffered heavy losses and gained nothing in return.

Su Chen stayed in the Main God Space. With such enormous gains this time, he chose to rapidly increase his cultivation.

The existence of the Fourth Scourge left Su Chen with a sense of unease. Back then, the immortal alliance he had created had stirred up a storm of blood and wind across the myriad heavens. Not to mention the existence behind the Fourth Scourge. The myriad heavens were not peaceful. Only strength was the eternal and unchanging truth... Without becoming an immortal, one could not even control their own fate.

Su Chen entered closed-door cultivation.

In the Main God Space, a name rose steadily.

"Northern Nether Demon Venerable? Who is this guy? He actually has the qualifications to be engraved on the Main God Monument."

Powerful divine envoys looked at the new name that had appeared on the Main God Monument with confusion.

The Main God Monument was the lifelong dream of all powerful divine envoys in the Main God Space. Those remembered by the Main God Monument had far transcended ordinary divine envoys. They were no longer disposable "talent" but true talents with the qualifications to become immortals!

Without becoming an immortal, one was ultimately an ant. Only by becoming an immortal could one grasp their own destiny within the Main God Space!

In a certain place within the Main God Space, the most terrifying divine envoys gathered. Every one of them had lived through at least one great tribulation and possessed Emperor Lord level cultivation. Their names were all engraved on the Main God Monument. They had the hope of becoming immortals and transcending "talent."

It was said that the most ancient existence had already lived through more than ten great tribulations of silence and rebirth.

They looked at the newly appeared title on the Main God Monument.

"Northern Nether Demon Venerable... It seems another interesting newcomer has appeared."

One hazy figure chuckled softly.

The voice drifted, sometimes near, sometimes far.

"You should not underestimate newcomers, Shadow Phantom. Have you forgotten the newcomer from the last great tribulation?"

A voice interrupted the chuckle. Clouds and mist drifted about. This was a terrifying being who had walked the path of qi cultivation to its end, only one step away from immortality.

Mentioning the newcomer from the last great tribulation made even him feel deep wariness.

The powerhouse called Shadow Phantom's laughter stopped abruptly. He said awkwardly, "How could there be a second existence as terrifying as the one who appeared in the last great tribulation? Such an existence could even be called a true immortal in reincarnation. How many reincarnated true immortals could there be in the world?"

Clearly, even the most ancient and arrogant veterans felt unprecedented wariness toward "that person" who had appeared in the last tribulation. After all, those who had no wariness... were all dead!

...

In a vast immortal land. Profound Clear Heaven Sect.

Zhao Wudi was very frustrated. The last time he had sent an avatar to Heavenly Eastern Dao Province to investigate the truth behind the Zhao Clan's destruction.

Unexpectedly, the avatar had been slain, and even one immortal bone had gone missing.

That was an immortal bone!

Zhao Wudi felt great heartache. He vaguely sensed something amiss and continued his closed-door cultivation.

Time flowed like a river.

Zhao Wudi's cultivation advanced with great momentum. From a mere First Tribulation Ruler at the beginning to the peak of the Nineteenth Tribulation now—a half-step Emperor Lord being—it had taken him less than five million years. He had even become the next Sect Master of the Profound Clear Heaven Sect and would definitely control this colossal entity in the future!

All of this was because of the immortal bones he possessed. The only pity was the missing one immortal bone.

Just as he was thinking about this, his expression suddenly filled with delight. He sensed a familiar aura approaching. The one hundred and seven immortal bones within his body all trembled, drawn by a certain power.

It was the missing immortal bone.

Outside the Profound Clear Heaven Sect, a young figure arrived. The vast grand formations shattered with a boom.

That young figure was Su Chen. After obtaining seventeen hundred trillion points in the Boundless Strange Domain, Su Chen had entered closed-door cultivation. The seventeen hundred trillion points had elevated his cultivation to the Emperor Lord realm.

After reaching the Emperor Lord realm, Su Chen had not immediately gone to reclaim his former immortal bones. He had continued staying in the Main God Space to complete missions and earn points. Occasionally, he would travel to the myriad realms to obtain some extra cultivation resources. In any case, the bill would be charged to the Main God Space.

Any heaven-shaking tribulation that arose would be shouldered by the Main God Space.

Su Chen's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. In a short time, he had crossed from a Twentieth Tribulation Emperor Lord being into a brand-new level.

Emperor Lord!

On the very day he first entered the Emperor Lord realm, he had slain several veteran Emperor Lords of the Main God Space. He was known as the Northern Nether Emperor Lord and occupied his own territory!

After becoming an Emperor Lord, the first thing Su Chen did was come to the Profound Clear Heaven Sect where Zhao Wudi resided.

Allowing Zhao Wudi to use his immortal bones to linger on until now had already been generous enough. Now, it was time for him to take back what belonged to him.

"Emperor Lord... That is an Emperor Lord level powerhouse!"

The Profound Clear Heaven Sect was enormous, encompassing countless universe crystal cores that formed vast worlds.

Yet those vast worlds seemed so insignificant beneath the feet of an Emperor Lord level being.

Zhao Wudi looked at the white-robed figure and vaguely felt it was somewhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen it.

That was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that he realized that terrifying existence... seemed to be looking at him?

Zhao Wudi's heart suddenly stopped. He had actually sensed the aura of an immortal bone!
