Chapter 6: The Blank Way of the Great Tao
Reincarnation is one of the most miraculous ways of the Great Tao in this world.
It transcends above material existence, encompassing many laws of the way of the Great Tao, such as time, space, birth, and destruction, and is the highest level of the highest.
Although the Lord of Reincarnation has the word "reincarnation" in his name, and often boasts of being above reincarnation, in reality, he only masters the Path of Yin and Yang.
The Path of Yin and Yang is also one kind of the ways of the Great Tao, but it can only break the changes of Yin and Yang, and has not even entered the door of reincarnation.
What is the essence of reincarnation?
Nobody knows.
Everyone knows of the existence of the underworld, but no one knows why it exists.
Without understanding this truth, one cannot comprehend the path of reincarnation, let alone create a great world, become a true creator, and eventually transcend to the eternal beyond.
The Sansheng Stele is said to be a holy object from the reincarnation path!
The Demon Emperor pursued the Sansheng Stele not only because it could help him break free from the bindings of the Void Domain, but also because he believed that the Sansheng Stele held the secret to eternal life.
Is it not the combination of past lives, present lives and future lives that form a complete cycle?
As long as it can unravel the secrets hidden within, even though it is already old and frail, it can instantly restore its youth and gain infinite power to create heaven and earth!
Even if it cannot gain insight into the cycle of reincarnation, with the help of the power of the Sansheng Stele, it can still explore the Void Domain and find the disappeared blank Tao.
By integrating the blank Tao, one can become a Faramita Immortal.
Those who become Faramita Immortals share the same lifespan as the heavens and the earth, and must complete ninety-nine great cycles of reincarnation before their lifespan is exhausted.
Ninety-nine "Yuans" equate to twelve million eight hundred and thirty-four thousand years!
Furthermore, even if the blank Tao has been stolen by someone, just by relying on the power of the Sansheng Stele to break free, one can live for another one or two epochs.
The higher he stands, the stronger the fear of death is felt by the Demon Emperor.
It wishes to continue living.
It had had enough of its days in the Void Domain!
Several epochs ago, during the war in the Void Domain erupted for the sake of claiming the Blank Tao, its clan, the Demons of the Outer Realm, once gained the upper hand.
In the most optimistic situation, the True Emperor of Demons had taken control of the Blank Tao.
But at this moment, the Immortal Emperors and the Heavenly Lords, who had been constantly quarreling, surprisingly put aside their differences and briefly united.
The Blank Tao was lost and regained.
In the following years, the Demons of the Outer Realm no longer had the upper hand.
What was even more puzzling was that a group of lunatics from the human tribe appeared, wanting to destroy the Blank Tao.
They not only thought this way, but they also consistently moved in this direction.
After several collisions, those people suffered heavy losses, but the Demons of the Outer Realm side didn’t fare any better either.
Under the influence of the Great Tao, the past and future of the True Emperor of Demons were both slain, despite its struggle and desperate attempt to escape, it was still cast into the abyssal underworld, never to be reborn.
The Demon Emperor’s luck was somewhat better.
As it was not the main target for attack, after the True Emperor of Demons died, those people were unable to completely kill it, and could only seal it in the Void Domain, Qin Piaomiao being one of them.
This was originally a good plan.
The Heavenly Lord had a long life, but it also had a day of termination. Moreover, being sealed it would die much faster than a normal Heavenly Lord.
However, there was an unexpected incident during this process. It absorbed a divine object called the "Dustlessness" in the Void Domain and acquired the ability to "live and die together" with the Void Domain. It has survived until now with this ability.
Unfortunately, the Immeasurable Disaster has finally arrived.
A new Blank Tao will be born in this catastrophe, and with a new Blank Tao, there will naturally be a new Void Domain. In the meantime, it and this Void Domain will both become abandoned, and the immortal body will surely become a joke.
Time waits for no one!
Demon Emperor must get out as quickly as possible. Even sacrificing all the other Demons of the Outer Realm is worthwhile.
If it dies, those Demons of the Outer Realm will eventually be wiped out.
If it were alive, perhaps the Demons of the Outer Realm would perish, but this clan will continue to exist.
"This is the best opportunity. As long as I can obtain the Future Mirror here and the fragment of the Sansheng Stele Qin Piaomiao got from Canglong Garden, I won’t need much time to leave here and rewalk the path of the celestial demons!"
After murmuring, the Demon Emperor’s massive head gradually lifted up.
It sensed a faint fluctuation, which was created by Bai Lian when she entered the Void Domain through the gate.
Very well!
Finally, you’re here!
Qin Piaomiao, if you want to stay alive, this is the only path for you to take!
The corners of the Demon Emperor’s mouth curved slightly, and speckles of stardust floated around its enormous black claws. In addition, there was a prominent scar.
It had fought an unknown person near Yingzhou recently, sacrificing most of its life in order to escape. Otherwise, it would not have waited until now to deal with Bai Lian.
In fact, its injuries had not completely healed, or else it would have been able to handle Bai Lian outside the Void Domain.
However, it doesn’t matter.
Although entering the Void Domain cannot weaken Bai Lian’s strength, it allows its power to be fully displayed, which is enough.
The Demon Emperor is very confident. In this ownerless Void Domain, it is invincible now!
"Even if the Immortal Emperors and Heavenly Lords, who once sealed me, are still alive and attack me at the same time, they cannot be my opponents anymore!"
This is the law, this is the reason, this is the path of the Void Domain!
Only those who praise its true name can seek a glimmer of hope in the Void Domain!
Let this catastrophe come more fiercely, and it is time for a reshuffle of the heavens and all realms!
The light in the palm of the Demon Emperor’s hand became even more dazzling.
Its gaze is fixed on the misty area in front of it, where Bai Lian is about to emerge.
However, before Bai Lian could appear, an unexpected disturbance caused its body to stiffen.
Trembling.
The entire Void Domain is trembling!
"What’s happening?"
Unfounded unease arose in the Demon Emperor’s heart. It had been in the Void Domain for tens of epochs, but such an event had never occurred before.
What made it even more uneasy was that it couldn’t find the source of the tremors. Everything within the range of its Divine Sense was normal, and if it had to find something different, it was just that there was one more person here today!
However, this didn’t necessarily mean that the tremors were caused by Bai Lian.
The Void Domain is vast, and although it can use magic to enter the East Divine Land, it can’t explore the Void Domain at will.
It was precisely because of this that it didn’t perceive Ju Buyi’s presence and failed in its plan to break through the Void Domain.
Demon Emperor barely had time to ponder before Bai Lian, her face solemn, emerged from the mist.
Across thousands of meters, an invisible pressure collided in the air, sparking deep purple electrical arcs.
The Demon Emperor’s pair of vertical pupils locked onto Bai Lian.
Regardless of what changes may occur in the Void Domain, everything became unrelated to it after it took the Sansheng Stele and left.
It only had one thing to do now!
After experiencing the initial panic, Bai Lian also calmed down.
Fear was ultimately useless, as she pursued the people and things she cared about. Neither earthquakes nor thunderstorms could stop her.
She also had only one thing to do!
"Kill the Demon Emperor!"
"Kill Qin Piaomiao!"
In this void space devoid of everything except for white mist, both Bai Lian and Demon Emperor saw the truth.
The battle began within a breath’s time of meeting each other.
The ruthless black claws descended from the sky with such force that it seemed they would pierce through the entire world.
In hot pursuit were swarms of black crows, their feathers as dark as ink, covering and blocking the entire space around them.
Emerging from the diffuse mist were innumerable specks of black dust, transforming the world into a strange and eerie place, as if one had walked into the city of ghosts.
Bai Lian had no words to say, for her only response was to employ the Sunset Sword Technique.
She was fully prepared as she passed through the long white mist.
The blazing sun flew out like a millstone and devoured all obstacles in its path.
Though its power was immense, it was clear that this type of attack would not be able to harm the Demon Emperor.
After crushing the black claws, the brilliance of the red sun diminished by half. Eventually, it trembled a few times and disappeared completely after being intercepted by the flock of crows.
"No wonder it was so confident."
Bai Lian clenched her teeth.
You should know that this was the most powerful spell she had mastered!
She was somewhat disappointed, but not completely so.
In fact, she had already prepared herself mentally before making her move.
After all, her spirit Qi was only at the peak of the Transcendency Stage.
The spirit Qi flowing inside her was ordinary spirit Qi, not immortal spirit Qi.
If ordinary spirit Qi could harm the Demon Emperor, then the Demon Emperor was too weak; probably just a pretender disguised as a Heavenly Lord.
Obviously, the Demon Emperor was not a pretender.
Its thoughts could stir up the winds and clouds, and its words could turn things upside down!
Bai Lian tightened her grip on the Heavenly Lord’s Lance.
The path of breaking through the Demon Emperor’s defense with spells is no longer feasible. The only way to win now is to charge straight to the Demon Emperor and stab it to death with the Heavenly Lord’s Lance.
With the sharpness of the Heavenly Lord’s Lance, coupled with the characteristics of the Way of Collapse and Destruction, it is not impossible to kill the Demon Emperor.
After all, this is a Heavenly Lord who has been sealed for countless years and is already extermely weak.
Charge!
After realizing this, Bai Lian quickly took out all the Immortal Spirit Stones and Spiritual Herbs that Yue Wuyang had given her.
There is no need to save anything.
With the new ability of Qianhuan Real Eyes, she no longer has to worry about being filled with massive spirit Qi and experiencing physical pain, so she can eat as much as she wants.
Waste is not a concern.
As long as she can walk out of here alive, everything else is insignificant.
"Immortal Spirit Stone?"
The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes.
Slowly, he extended his right hand and billowing black mist rose up, enveloping Bai Lian from all directions like a wall of thorns.
"Your strength is much weaker than I had imagined, Qin Piaomiao. Even after so many years outside, you have not improved!"
Bai Lian automatically filtered out the Demon Emperor’s words.
Swallowing several Immortal Spirit Stones in a row, her strength surged.
With the Heavenly Lord’s Lance in hand and all Special Effects enabled, she charged towards the Demon Emperor.
In order to kill the sea monster, she forcibly consumed two Immortal Spirit Stones. Although she killed the sea monster with one strike, the Immortal Spirit Stones almost tore her body apart.
Now, she felt as light as a feather, her body extraordinarily agile, just like returning to her hometown.
Thanks to the Qianhuan Real Eyes.
She wondered how the "little girl" Snow Spirit Lord who cried and refused to die on the glacier was doing.
After several years, her injuries should have healed almost completely, right?
Bai Lian was filled with emotion.
Without the Qianhuan Real Eyes gifted by the Snow Spirit Lord today, she feared that she would have been trapped and killed by the Thorn Wall raised by the Demon Emperor the moment she entered.
Life has always been so wonderful. When confronts Jiang Jing, it was also because of her slight kindness that earned her the help of Yougui and Qianxue, which ultimately led to her successful killing of Jiang Jing.
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" in the game is a typical negative example.
She did all the bad things, not only making the lovely Martial Sisters her slaves but also showing jealousy and persecution towards others.
When the deadly crisis came, others helped each other to escape, but she became a castaway and was devoured by demons in more than one ending.
"Doing good deeds is actually useful."
Lost in thought, Bai Lian had already crossed through the layers of white fog.
When the black curtain wall closed in, she lightly thrust forward and found the weak point, puncturing the curtain wall.
Click.
Suddenly, a big hole appeared in front of her.
Bai Lian immediately dodged, but in the moment she passed through the hole, countless spikes struck from the side.
She tried her best to dodge, but still got more than a dozen wounds that were deep enough to see the bones, and the corrosive forces poured into her body through the wounds.
The voice of the Demon Emperor, tinged with mockery, rang out, "Your strength is far inferior to what it used to be, and your alertness is much weaker too. Yet, you still dare to compete with me. Indeed, humans are the ones who cannot see their own lowly existence! Although I am not the Demon Emperor who fought against the kings of darkness, nor are you the supreme human sovereign who dominated the Central Heaven, Qin Piaomiao. If you bow down to me now, I will spare your life out of our peer relationship. But if you persist in your arrogance, you will forever fall into the Ninth Abyss and never reincarnate!"
The grand voice pounded on Bai Lian’s chest like a war drum.
Bai Lian, however, calmly pulled out the spikes piercing into her body.
Peer relationship?
No such thing as peer relationship.
"All I desire now is for you to die! Your existence denies everything that I pursue!"
As soon as the voice fell, all the wounds on Bai Lian’s body disappeared, and the corruptive force that had been disturbing her spirit Qi also vanished into thin air.
The pupils of the Demon Emperor shrunk suddenly.
It didn’t see clearly what had happened, and at this point Bai Lian had already continued to rush towards it.
Bai Lian’s speed was not fast, but she was covered with layers of space in front of her. Under the exploration of Qianhuan Real Eyes, these spaces could only slow down her pace for a while, but could never make her lose her way.
"You’re overestimating your own ability!"
The Demon Emperor snorted angrily, and the crows hovering in the sky rushed towards Bai Lian in flocks.
These were not ordinary crows, they were blood crows refined from the blood of the demon from heavens. Those bitten by blood crows would have their souls withered immediately if their strength was not enough.
However, the Demon Emperor’s plan once again failed.
Bai Lian wielded her long lance.
She marched forward like a giant god carrying the starry sky, although every step would be met with dozens of bites, there would also be tens of thousands of blood crows crushed by her.
Blood sprayed onto the snowflakes floating above her head, resembling falling plum blossoms from a distance, carrying both shock and a hint of sorrowful beauty.
Not enough.
Far from enough.
Such attacks were less than tickling to her.
She broke through the encirclement and had already crossed half the distance.
It was as if in response to her inner persistence that the white flames burning behind her grew even more vigorous.
In reality, it was simply because she had swallowed several Immortal Spirit Stones.
By the time this battle was over, the sudden eruption of injuries would be enough to tear her body apart.
But what does that matter?
"The future can wait, right now I need more power!"
The killing intent emitted from her only ice-blue pupil, piercing the Demon Emperor’s eyes like rays.
"How dare ants act recklessly!"
Dozens of large hands fell from the sky one after another, and the dazzling spells shot towards Bai Lian like arrows in chaos.
At first, Bai Lian tried to dodge, but when she found that she couldn’t get close to the Demon Emperor once she dodged, she resolutely chose to face him head on.
Come on, see if you can take me down in seconds!
She just carefully protected the Qianhuan Real Eyes, preventing this unique technique from being broken.
Every time she was hit hard, her body trembled, and there were even several times when she fell to the ground.
But this couldn’t stop her from moving forward with determination.
After shaking off the snow on her body, she stood up tremblingly once again.
It’s not over yet!
Bai Lian seemed to have figured it out.
Although the Demon Emperor in the Void Domain has dramatically increased in strength, it also has a major weakness.
It was locked by invisible chains, unable to move freely at all!
As long as she could reach before the Demon Emperor and pierce her lance forward…
The situation will instantly be reversed!
At the thought of this, Bai Lian consumed several more celestial Spiritual Herbs without hesitation, which hastened the absorption of her spirit Qi.
Crack!
Bang!
Her right arm instantly exploded, but the next second it returned to its original state.
"Fortunately, this degree can barely hold up."
She continued to walk forward.
Although her body would tear open with each step, with the help of Qianhuan Real Eyes, it didn’t affect her speed.
The real trouble came from the attack of the Demon Emperor.
"Is this the power of Sansheng Stele?"
"No matter how much you struggle, you will eventually die!"
The shocking killing intent rose to the sky, instantly shattering all the surrounding space.
With the path ahead lost, Bai Lian forcibly created a void path to the Demon Emperor with her newfound abilities.
However, the path was shattered the next moment by the Demon Emperor with an unnamed Immortal Treasure. Her expression unchanged, she withstood the attack of the Immortal Treasure, wiped away the blood from her lips, and continued on.
If the path is cut off, then cross the void.
Seeing Bai Lian approaching closer and closer, Demon Emperor couldn’t help but shout loudly, "How dare you!"
With thunderous momentum that shocked the universe, it couldn’t stop Bai Lian’s unwavering determination to move forward.
The Heavenly Lord’s Lance held in her hand became increasingly dazzling.
It was a fully charged lance ready to strike at any moment.
"Good, very good, it seems that you are confident. Even the supreme of the human clan couldn’t extinguish me in the past. If you want to go against the natural order, then be punished by the heavens and die!"
With a roar, the Demon Emperor’s body expanded several times over.
Its right palm came crashing down, carrying with it an immaculate force, intending to crush Bai Lian in one blow.
This strike came too fast for Bai Lian to dodge.
Her intention was to continue holding on, as she was only ten meters away from the Demon Emperor. However, the moment when the palm print approached, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She was going to die!
Her Qianhuan Real Eyes could not possibly withstand Demon Emperor’s full-strength blow!
However, she had no way out but to forcibly swallow more Immortal Spirit Stones and Fairy Spiritual Herbs, and, with the power that erupted in an instant, break through the restraints around her body and forcefully thrust out the Heavenly Lord’s Lance.
Half pure black.
Half pure white.
Two completely different forces attacked from the left and right.
An earthshaking explosion is about to sweep the entire Void Domain, but at this moment, the tremors in the Void Domain suddenly accelerated.
It was the momentary change in frequency that caused the entire world to shift, and the Demon Emperor’s palm unexpectedly hit nothing!
Bai Lian was too late to be excited, as she stabbed the Immortal Weapon controlled by the Demon Emperor with her lance.
"I am indeed very confident, but unlike you, my confidence comes from my master!"
This lance accompanied her master to suppress three thousand domains. There is no reason why it cannot break the Demon Emperor’s Immortal Weapon.
Break Ahhhh!
The Way of Collapse and Destruction poured madly down the Heavenly Lord’s Lance.
Clickety-clack.
After a breath, the immortal weapon was really pierced directly by the Heavenly Lord’s Lance. The tip of the lance was wrapped in condensed and substantial killing intent, and plunged into the chest of Demon Emperor.
"How is this possible?"
Demon Emperor stared at Bai Lian tightly, and its body began to crumble rapidly.
This sudden change came too unexpectedly, and it actually revealed a flaw because of this.
"It’s done!"
Bai Lian’s face lit up with a brilliant smile.
She didn’t care how she won, whether it was luck or strength, as long as she won!
She came to kill, not to preach.
Just as Demon Emperor’s body was about to disappear completely, suddenly, a black light shone in the white mist.
"This is…"
Bai Lian widened her eyes.
She wasn’t mistaken, Demon Emperor’s body had actually reconstituted itself!
"!!!"
Locked in chains, Demon Emperor looked down upon Bai Lian who was no bigger than its finger.
"I remember saying that after merging with "Dustlessness", I become immortal!"
