He felt the two spiritual essences within Cold Star gradually drawing together under a peculiar force.
As black and white intertwined, those essences turned the color of the void.
The instant they merged into one, Cold Star changed as well.
A voice sounded in his mind, coming from Cold Star.
"Qin An, drive Cold Star into the Reincarnation Stairway."
It was a beautiful voice, belonging to Reincarnation, the woman he had met not long ago.
Qin An nodded slightly, then looked down at the Reincarnation Stairway.
By now, not only he but also Gu Yuan and the other Forbidden Land Envoys, the human cultivators, and the demon False Gods had reached their limits.
They struggled to hold on, their faces pale as paper.
When Qin An raised Cold Star, they stared at him, sensing that something about him had changed.
The change came from the blade in his hand.
For some reason, a thought arose in Gu Yuan's mind.
Could Qin An break us out of this predicament?
Gu Yuan was not the only one who thought so. The others did too.
It seemed absurd, almost impossible to believe, yet they were certain of it.
The Ape Demon Chief, who had clashed with Qin An not long ago, watched him with a complicated look that now held a trace of awe.
Qin An paid no attention to what they thought of him.
He slowly raised Cold Star and drove it into the Reincarnation Stairway before him.
The instant Cold Star pierced the Reincarnation Stairway, the entire structure shook violently.
Qin An felt the stairway release a thread of Reincarnation Power, which Cold Star devoured at a furious pace.
Then cracks spread from the spot where Cold Star had struck, covering the entire Reincarnation Stairway.
They raced outward like a spiderweb.
