—Disappointment. Utter disappointment.
—The Taiming Sect... should have grander deeds to accomplish, a greater reincarnation to transcend.
It was not Ye Yuelong's disappointment, but an indescribable feeling—part anger, part sigh, part regret—transmitted from all things between heaven and earth.
At this moment, it was not only True Monarch Chenmie; even Heavenly Monarch Yinze, who was pouring forth all his strength to confront Ancestor Chengguang and the Zhulong Battle Body, sensed that something was wrong.
[This feeling?!] He raised his head and stared in astonishment at the mountain gate behind him. [Could it be... like what happened with the Yushen Great Court and the Kuji Frost Calamity?!]
[Huaixu Heavenly Tribulation?!]
It was not a tribulation.
It was the inevitability born from taking the Great Dao down the wrong path.
"It is time. I shall enter the cycle of life and death, ferrying you, me, and all living beings across. This is my vow, my fate, my Dao!"
At this moment, Ye Yuelong raised a hand. She did not attack her Grandmaster, nor did she attack her sect.
She merely removed her own head, cradled it in her arms, sat cross-legged, and in an instant entered extinction.
And at that very instant, the Great Karma Dharma Body formed by the Great Vow Light-Eyed Goddess also fled into the void of life and death, merging into the [Taiming Reincarnation]!
[The time has come!]
At the same time, Heavenly Monarch Xi Yi's eyes lit up. He sensed that a fissure had suddenly appeared within the Taiming mountain gate, which had come crashing down like an immovable boulder.
The immense flow of power was branching apart, shifting...
And it gave them an opportunity!
[Ancestor Haotian Divine Mirror!]
He shouted, answering everyone's renewed spirits. [Now! This is our only chance!]
The Haotian Mirror did not respond.
