David’s voice came from a distance, “This journey is dangerous, but I can handle it myself. You stay here and help Sect Leader Jin and the others reorganize the situation. If I don’t return in three days”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
The Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord stopped in midair, struggle flashing across his fiery red demonic eyes, before finally gritting his teeth and stopping.
He knew that once David made a decision, nothing could change it. Moreover, with his current strength, obeying him would probably just be a burden.
Jin Buhuan and others watched David leave with serious expressions. They knew that this journey would be full of danger, their fate uncertain.
“Convey the order,”
Jin Buhuan took a deep breath. “Gather all forces and set up a grand formation outside the Evil Path Hall. If Fellow Daoist David has not returned in three days we will launch a massive attack on the Reincarnation Gate!”
“Yes!”
……
Hall of Evil Path, above the altar.
The reincarnation gate that towered a hundred feet tall stood still, its gray-white vortex rotating slowly within it, emitting an ancient aura that sent chills down the spine.
The door was engraved with countless complex runes, some resembling animal sacrifices, some like the movement of stars, and some completely incomprehensible.
David landed at the edge of the altar, calmly examining the door.
He could feel that the power of the law of reincarnation radiating from the door was subtly conflicting with the laws of this world, but the two were forcefully integrated to form a strange balance.
This unconventional approach is truly amazing.
“The soul of the Hu clan” David muttered to himself, with a flash of determination in his eyes.
Without any further hesitation, he stepped forward and walked straight towards the Reincarnation Gate.
The moment he stepped up to ten zhang from the gate, a strange change occurred!
Buzzing
The runes on the Reincarnation Gate lit up simultaneously, emitting a brilliant gray-white light!
The vortex inside the door suddenly accelerated its rotation speed, and a terrifying suction force emerged from it. At the same time, countless mixed roars, wails, and pleas sounded from within the door, as if billions of living creatures were struggling within!
Those were the consciousness fragments left behind from the creatures that were devoured and assimilated by the Gate of Reincarnation!
David snorted coldly, and the chaotic stars inside his body slowly rotated, naturally opening up a layer of hazy chaotic domain that completely isolated those sounds and suction forces from the outside.
He continued forward, and the moment his body touched the gray-white vortex inside the door
The world is turning!
Space-time distortion!
David felt as if he had been thrown into an endless vortex, with lights, sounds, and countless fragments of memories flashing before him.
There lies the ecstasy of cultivators achieving breakthroughs, the despair of living beings dying, the rise and fall of dynasties, and the majesty of the birth and death of stars. This is the torrent of memories of all living beings that were swallowed up and recorded for countless years before the Gate of Reincarnation!
If an ordinary cultivator entered this place, the powerful force of this memory wave would be enough to destroy their soul and assimilate them into the Gate of Reincarnation.
However, David’s Chaos Realm remained as stable as a rock, blocking all the torrent of memories from outside, allowing him to observe calmly from an outsider’s perspective.
I don’t know how much time has passed; maybe just for a moment, maybe forever.
All the chaos ended suddenly.
David, with both feet planted firmly on the ground, opened his eyes.
Before me lay a completely foreign world.
The sky was always grey-white, devoid of the sun, moon and stars, only shrouded in a hazy gray halo.
The land was barren, covered in strangely shaped gray rocks. In the distance, a meandering gray river flowed slowly, and countless distorted faces could faintly be seen floating in the water.
The air was filled with a rich reincarnation aura, more than ten times purer than the outside world, but also carrying a sense of eerie stillness, coldness, and undeniable order.
Everything here—rocks, rivers, air, light—seems to be governed by the same law: “reincarnation.”
“This is the inner world of the Reincarnation Gate of the Land of Reincarnation?”
David looked around, his expression serious.
He could feel that here, the laws of the outside world were greatly weakened, and replaced by the almighty law of reincarnation.
Although the chaotic power it possessed was able to resist erosion, its operation was rather slow.
Just then, the gray mist engulfed forward, and three figures slowly appeared.
They were three humanoid creatures formed entirely from whitish-gray mist. They had no facial features or clothes, and just stood there quietly, but they exuded a powerful aura. Each of them was no weaker than the previous Reincarnation Guard, and perhaps even stronger!
