Instead there was a kind of calmness that seemed to have seen everything clearly.
“Sect Leader Jin, Elder of the Five Lineages.”
His voice was clear, “If you guys want to withdraw from the alliance now, I won’t blame you. Moreover, the situation has changed, and if we continue to fight head-on, the Five Element Sect will probably be destroyed.”
The five elders shuddered.
Elder Jin opened his mouth, but finally gritted his teeth and said, “Elder David, what do you think of my Five Element Sect? Just fickle people?! Since we have performed the Five Element Unity Ceremony and acknowledged you as our Guardian Elder, then we share the same fate, be it prosperity or destruction!”
“That’s right!”
Elder Huo Mai slammed his fist on the table and stood up. “The nonsense of the Evil Path Hall may deceive those cowardly old monsters, but my Five Element Sect’s disciples cultivate righteousness. How could we be accomplices of evil?”
The elders of the Wood, Water, and Earth lineages all nodded in agreement.
Jin Buhuan smiled, a smile that was full of determination: “Young friend, since the Five Element Sect has made up their mind, they will not turn around. At worst we will perish together.”
David looked at everyone intently, then cupped his hands in thanks: “Thank you.”
He walked back to the center of the hall and glanced at everyone: “Therefore, let’s carefully plan how we get out of this desperate situation.”
The main altar of the Evil Path Palace, in front of the Gate of Reincarnation.
Zhan E and Xue Youming stood facing each other, both wearing friendly-looking smiles, but deep within their eyes hidden cold calculation.
Surrounding them were countless people who had come to pledge their allegiance, looking towards the two mighty figures standing at the peak of the twelfth heaven with eyes full of awe and excitement.
“It is truly an honor for our Evil Path Palace that Fellow Daoist Blood Underworld has personally led the Nine Nether Palace to join us.”
Zhan E’s voice was hoarse, but his smile grew wider. “With fellow Daoists joining us, those buffoons in the Anti-Demon Alliance have nothing to worry about.”
Xue Youming’s dark pupils shifted slightly, glancing at the Gate of Reincarnation behind Zhan E before looking back at Zhan E’s face: “Palace Master Zhan, you are too kind. The Gate of Reincarnation is extremely mysterious. It is a blessing for my Nine Nether Palace to receive the opportunity of eternal life from you.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then raised their glasses to drink together.
But just when the glasses collided
“Buzzing”
An extremely terrifying wave emerged from the depths of the Reincarnation Gate!
It was not the voracious suction force like before, nor was it the gray and lifeless aura of reincarnation. Instead, it was a supreme aura that seemed to come from the beginning of the universe and transcended all rules!
“Broken!”
The bone cup in Zhan E’s hand shattered into pieces, the wine evaporating into dust before it even hit the ground. He spun around, his gray-white eyes fixed on the Gate of Reincarnation, a look of horror appearing on his face for the first time.
Xue Youming’s pupils suddenly narrowed, and the Nine Nether Demonic Qi around his body surged violently and uncontrollably, as if he had encountered a natural enemy and instinctively tightened his defenses.
Everyone who sought refuge felt their souls being swept by an invisible gaze. That gaze was cold and indifferent, like the sky looking down on ants, devoid of any emotion, yet it made everyone tremble from the depths of their souls.
“What happened?” someone asked in a trembling voice.
“The Gate of Reincarnation is shaking!”
“A hundred times stronger than before!”
On the surface of the towering, pitch-black bone gate, the ash-white flames in the eye sockets of all the skulls simultaneously flared, spurting out and forming a huge and strange pattern in the air—a humanoid silhouette with closed eyes, made of pure ash-white flames, hung high in the sky.
A moment later, the outline slowly opened its “eyes”.
It was a pair of eyes made entirely of swirling gray-white vortices, with no pupils or whites of the eyes, only endless emptiness and depth.
When the eye opened, the sky throughout the Ghost Plains darkened, as if all light had been swallowed by the eye.
“I am the Lord of Reincarnation.”
A voice resonated directly in the depths of everyone’s soul; the sound was indescribable.
It was like the whispers of billions of living beings, and like the rules of heaven and earth proclaiming something ancient, great, and unquestionable.
