David recited the mantra silently, with a glint of determination in his eyes.
Without any further hesitation, he leapt into the air, turned into a gray beam of light, and shot away.
The cold wind was bone-chilling, making his robes flutter.
Ahead lies an unknown world, stronger opponents, and a wider stage.
Meanwhile, in the twelfth heaven, in the ruins of the Evil Path Palace.
On the altar at the peak of Samsara, the hundred-foot-tall illusory image of the Gate of Samsara began to fluctuate violently without warning at noon on the third day after David stepped into it.
Then, like a bubble, it quickly faded and disappeared, eventually disappearing completely without leaving a trace.
“The Gate of Reincarnation has disappeared?!”
Jin Buhuan, Demon Lord Chiyun, and the others who were waiting outside the peak suddenly stood up, their expressions changing drastically.
They waited for three full days, but David did not come out, nor did they see any unusual activity from the Gate of Reincarnation.
Unexpectedly, what awaited them was the complete disappearance of the Reincarnation Gate!
“Where’s David? Why isn’t David out yet?!” Li Baichuan asked worriedly.
Jin Buhuan’s face was ashen. He frantically scanned the altar and the surrounding space with his divine sense, but he was no longer able to sense any aura related to David or the Gate of Reincarnation.
“Could it be” A terrifying thought emerged in everyone’s mind.
“No! Impossible!”
The Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord roared, his fiery red demon eyes filled with disbelief, “That kid is so formidable! Even the ancient Qi Refining cave couldn’t trap him, how could the Reincarnation Gate possibly be able to?”
But he couldn’t continue. The Gate of Reincarnation had mysteriously vanished, and David had disappeared without a trace—this was definitely not a good sign.
The group waited several more days, even going into the altar to investigate, but still found nothing.
In the end, they had to accept the bitter reality that David had most likely disappeared along with the Gate of Reincarnation, his fate unknown.
The alliance members were filled with grief and anger.
After seeing a glimmer of hope of revenge and leading them to destroy the leader of the Evil Path Temple, he left this way.
“Fellow Daoist David is the hero of my Twelfth Heaven!”
Holding back his sorrow, Jin Buhuan announced to the crowd, “From today, Twelfth Heaven enters a new era. We must uphold Fellow Daoist David’s legacy, restore order, and protect this realm!”
“In addition, increase the number of personnel and set up permanent posts near Reincarnation Peak to monitor any anomalies. Report immediately any news regarding Fellow Daoist David!”
With orders given, the alliance began to systematically take over the spheres of influence left behind by the Evil Path Temple and restore order in the Twelve Heavens.
The chaos caused by the Gate of Reincarnation gradually subsided with the disappearance of the Gate of Reincarnation and the fall of David.
However, some people would never forget the young figure who led them in a desperate counterattack, finished off an Upper Immortal Realm giant with Heavenly Immortal cultivation, and finally broke through the Reincarnation Gate alone.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord stood guard outside Reincarnation Peak for a few more days.
Every day, he looked forward to that familiar figure suddenly appearing, with a satisfied smile, saying, “Senior, sorry for keeping you waiting.”
But every day always brings disappointment.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord finally gave up.
He prostrated three times very heavily before the empty altar.
“Son, you have saved my life. I will remember this kindness.”
“Don’t worry, I will take care of your family and friends. If you are truly dead inside, once I revive my beloved and attain a high cultivation level, I will definitely find a way to break this cycle of reincarnation and get your remains out!”
After saying that, he decisively turned around, turned into a blood-red beam of light, and flew towards the direction of Ninth Heaven.
He was going to save the woman who had waited for him for years.
