After introducing the Power of Life and achieving the "Rebirth Sword Dao," Li Yi returned to the Alliance headquarters to enter seclusion. He spent his time consolidating his cultivation and harmonizing the Power of Slaughter with the Power of Life.
Compared to introducing the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life, harmonizing them was much easier. Once successfully harmonized, the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life could be freely converted using Li Yi's body as a medium.
During the process of harmonizing the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life, Li Yi was also continuously comprehending the Nirvana True Meaning.
Time flowed rapidly as Li Yi remained in seclusion. In the blink of an eye, another fifty thousand years passed. After such a long period of harmonization, the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life could now be converted relatively freely, although it was still a bit obscure and not yet perfect.
However, Li Yi was already very satisfied. His strength had increased significantly. Inside his body, a black Power of Slaughter and a green Power of Life circulated continuously, converging in his dantian to form a rotating Taiji Diagram, half green and half black. The two forces constantly converted into each other here.
Having comprehended the deeper meanings of slaughter and life, the Nirvana True Meaning became much easier to grasp. In his fifty thousand years of seclusion, Li Yi had basically understood the profound mysteries of Nirvana.
What is Nirvana? Nirvana is eternity. Nirvana is emptiness, while life and death are transient and real. All existing things will eventually perish. Only emptiness is eternal.
Life and death are a cycle, and Nirvana lies between them. Many great cultivators in later generations spoke of proving the Dao of Nirvana, which meant proving the Dao of Eternity. It meant achieving eternal youth and immortality from then on.
Now, as long as Li Yi completely fused the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life, life would contain death, and death would contain life. Life and death would transform with a single thought, and he would naturally comprehend the "Nirvana Sword Dao."
During these fifty thousand years, the friction between the two sides intensified, especially at the eastern and western borders. The cultivators stationed there reached one hundred million, leading to rampant slaughter.
"Clang, clang..." The resonating bell tolls echoed throughout the Hong Huang.
"Has the war finally begun?" Li Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he mused.
This battle, being the final one, saw the Alliance gather all its strength. The number of combatants even surpassed the previous engagement, reaching over 700 billion.
Meanwhile, the armies of the Fierce Beast Domain and the Demon Domain also marched eastward. They too deployed their elites, their endless armies forming a black ocean.
"Kill!!!!"
The two sides met again at the border. The entire battlefield was filled not only with the aura of slaughter but also with a sense of desperation. Everyone knew that if their side lost, there would be almost no chance of survival. Faced with the pursuit of an immensely powerful force, few could be confident of escaping.
Therefore, whether it was the Alliance cultivators or the cultivators from the Fierce Beast Domain and the Demon Domain, their expressions were unprecedentedly solemn. This was a battle for survival, and the victor would have the right to continue existing.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Nine Black Giant Coffins descended upon the battlefield, just like last time. The Five Elders of the Blood Prison immediately led their men to form an array and then closed their eyes to rest.
This time, the Blood-Colored Giant Tower did not descend, but the cultivators from both sides still looked towards the people from Blood Prison City with awe. After all, Blood Prison City had a Supreme being guarding it.
Wisely, both sides' cultivators acted as if the people from Blood Prison City were not present.
"Kill!!!!"
Led by the Ancestral Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and Ancestor Lin, the Alliance cultivators surged towards the armies of the Fierce Beast Domain and the Demon Domain. The armies of the Fierce Beast Domain and the Demon Domain, led by experts like the Blood Demon, also roared and charged towards the Alliance.
"Kill!!!!"
Li Yi coldly gazed at the Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators before him. The Green Lotus Ancient Sword flew out of his dantian of its own accord.
"Hah!" Li Yi waved his sword forward without mercy. Countless black lotuses sprang into existence in the void. The Power of Slaughter on the battlefield formed a storm, constantly pouring into these lotuses.
After absorbing the Power of Slaughter, these lotuses rapidly split into more black lotuses, stopping after splitting three times.
At this moment, with Li Yi at the center, an area of ten miles became an ocean of black lotuses. Each lotus erupted with countless tiny Sword Qi, or rooted themselves on the bodies of the Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators, releasing Sword Qi into their bodies to wreak havoc.
Waves of shrill screams erupted. When the lotuses vanished, nearly a million Fierce Beasts and tens of thousands of Demon Domain cultivators had been completely annihilated.
The Alliance cultivators behind Li Yi looked on with awe, lamenting that he was indeed the strongest below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
"Kill!!!!"
Slaughter was everywhere. The Four Supremes had yet to make a move, while the Grand Unity Golden Immortals from both sides had consciously engaged in combat. Although the Alliance had suffered heavy losses of Grand Unity Golden Immortals last time, with the accumulation of these years and the near-total deployment of the Grand Unity Golden Immortals from the three races, the two sides were almost evenly matched again.
Thus, the battle was fierce and difficult to resolve.
"Slaughter Sword Dao," "Rebirth Sword Dao."
A peculiar and noble pair of conjoined twin lotuses appeared before Li Yi. The black lotus and the green lotus each shot out a beam of black light and a beam of green light, respectively.
"Bang, bang..."
The Fierce Beast and Demon Domain cultivators in front were instantly annihilated. Where the black light passed, everything turned to ash. Where the green light passed, only piles of white bones remained, reaching as high as mountains.
The battle between the two sides grew increasingly brutal. Li Yi floated between the black and green lotuses. The two giant lotuses continuously crushed the Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators. Where the lotuses passed, half turned to dust, and half left behind white bones.
Li Yi also occasionally pushed the Green Lotus, shining its green light towards the critically injured Alliance cultivators. Most of these heavily wounded Alliance cultivators immediately became vigorous and energetic, catching the Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators off guard and causing them to suffer inwardly.
Soon, many Alliance cultivators gathered behind Li Yi, forming an arrowhead that pierced directly into the armies of the Fierce Beast Domain and the Demon Domain. As the Green Lotus continuously absorbed life force and transferred it to the Alliance cultivators, the cultivators behind Li Yi fought fearlessly, pushing back the Fierce Beast Domain and Demon Domain cultivators repeatedly.
"Kill!!!!"
The Demon Domain cultivators looked at the Alliance cultivators before them with extreme frustration. Just as they managed to heavily injure someone, a green light would fly over, and they would become vigorous again. How could they possibly fight like this?
Killing while saving, Li Yi fought with increasing fervor. He felt that the fusion of the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life was accelerating. It was estimated that they would be completely fused before long, and thus Li Yi fought even more ferociously.
"Kill!!!!"
There was no right or wrong on the battlefield; both sides charged forward with bloodshot eyes. The battlefield, spanning billions of miles, was dyed crimson with blood. Mountains collapsed, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and flames soared into the sky, creating a scene of utter devastation.
Sensing the accelerated fusion of the Power of Slaughter and the Power of Life, Li Yi became utterly ruthless, deliberately heading towards areas with a high concentration of Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators. The conjoined twin lotuses, as they spun, tore apart countless lives.
As if that were not enough, Li Yi waved his hand, unleashing countless Sword Qi, forming gusts of Sword Qi storms that completely annihilated innumerable Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators.
The surrounding Alliance cultivators cast sideways glances, none of them expecting someone to be actively hunting for kills on the battlefield. They secretly concluded that this person must be a killing god in his daily life, otherwise, why would he be so frenzied?
The Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators on the battlefield were miserable. Many of them even avoided Li Yi from afar, not daring to approach this killing god.
