The Cycle of Reincarnation, the Secret of the Ancient Gods

Above the main hall in the Nether Heaven.

Representatives from the four supreme powers, like envoys offering tribute, respectfully presented each tightly sealed jade box.

"My Lord, here are the Law Crystal you requested."

An elder from the Shadow Hall cautiously stated, "Among them, besides the common light-type crystals, we also searched through our respective treasure troves and even used our most valuable resources to barely gather... Yin, Yang, and... Reincarnation-type crystals."

"Reincarnation?"

A glint of light One Flash in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

With a casual wave of his hand, the most ancient-looking black jade box flew into his grasp.

I opened it and took a look.

A dark golden crystal, exuding a mysterious aura and seemingly capable of revealing past and present lives, lay quietly within.

[Higher Law Crystal - Reincarnation]!

"Excellent." Dongfang Yueming nodded approvingly. "You did a great job."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency!" The elders breathed a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew.

After everyone left, Dongfang Yueming immediately began a new round of fusion.

"Light!"

Three [Higher Law Crystals - Light] shattered.

Endless power of light surged into his Sea of Consciousness, resonating with the Great Dao of Darkness.

"Light and darkness were one, chaos was born!"

[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained -- [Great Dao of Light]!]

Next come the even rarer Yin and Yang.

"Yin alone cannot produce anything, Yang alone cannot grow!"

Six crystals emanating extreme yin and extreme yang energy were refined.

[Ding! Obtained -- [The Great Dao of Yin]!]

[Ding! Obtained -- [The Great Dao of Yang]!]

Thus, the twelve fundamental Great Dao metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, force, light, darkness, yin, and yang have all Perfection!

"Finally... reincarnation!"

Dongfang Yueming looked at the only high-grade Reincarnation Crystal, along with five mid-grade and three low-grade ones, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Although there are fewer high-grade crystals, that won't stop me."

"Absorb! Point Allocation!"

[Ding! Consumed... [Lower Grade - Reincarnation Law] x3 (Perfection!)]

"Merge!"

[Ding! Obtained [Mid-Rank Reincarnation Law] x1!]

In addition to the original 5 median crystals.

[Ding! Consumed... [Mid-Rank Reincarnation Law] x6 (Perfection!)]

"Remelt!"

[Ding! Obtained [Advanced Reincarnation Law] x2!]

In addition to that superior crystal.

"Trinity, Reincarnation... Now!"

"Boom--!!!"

A terrifying surge, transcending life and death, erupted within Dongfang Yueming's body!

That is a supreme state of mind that transcends the illusions of the world and the cycle of life and death!

[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained -- [Great Dao of Reincarnation]!]

Seventeen Great Dao!

At this moment, Dongfang Yueming felt as if his soul had undergone a complete sublimation!

He not only controlled the power of the present, but also seemed to have touched the edge of the past and the future!

"Call..."

He concealed his aura and turned his gaze to an ancient scroll in his hand.

This was top-secret information about the "Ancient God Ruins," specially gathered by the four major powers in an attempt to curry favor with him.

"Ancient God Ruins..."

He slowly unrolled the scroll, and a long-forgotten piece of history came into view.

[In the ancient era, the Immortal Realm was invaded by an evil god from beyond the realm...]

[The Immortal Emperor of that time joined forces, mobilizing the power of the entire Immortal Realm, to wage a protracted war against the Evil God!]

[In the end, although they defeated the evil god, they paid a heavy price.]

That battlefield, along with the corpse of the fallen evil god, was shattered and sealed away, forming what is now... the Ancient God Ruins!

"Extraterritorial Evil God..."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

"It seems that these Ancient God Ruins are even more dangerous than I imagined."

"But..."

He closed the scroll, his gaze resolute.

"A tenth-tier divine artifact is right there."

"For the sake of reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, I will brave even the most dangerous and dangerous places!"

In the Nether Heaven, before the teleportation array.

An elderly man dressed in a gray robe, with a gaunt face and surrounded by the aura of eight Great Dao Laws, was bowing respectfully to Dongfang Yueming.

It is none other than the Eight Desolations Immortal Saint who has returned with a reconstructed physical body!

Although he had benefited from the resources of the four supreme powers, his cultivation level had only recovered to the Junior Immortal Saint. However, the invincible aura he exuded after fighting his way through mountains of corpses Xue Hai was even more refined than before.

"Young friend, be extremely careful on your journey to the Ancient God Ruins."

The Eight Desolations Immortal Saint looked at the young man before him who had completely surpassed him, his eyes filled with emotion.

"With my current strength, I can't be of much help to you. I can only wish you... good fortune in your martial arts!"

"Thank you, senior." Dongfang Yueming smiled slightly. "Your restoration of my physical body has fulfilled a long-cherished wish of mine."

Without lingering, he moved swiftly and stepped into the teleportation array leading to the Ancient God Ruins.

"This kid..."

As the Eight Desolations Immortal Saint watched the disappearing figure, a gratified smile appeared on his lips.

"Perhaps, he really can... go that far."

Ancient God Ruins.

This is a shattered continent floating in endless chaos.

There is no sky, no earth, only countless floating islands, shattered stars, and an ancient, ominous aura that permeates the air, making it suffocating!

"This... is this the Ancient God Ruins?"

A luxurious celestial vessel, radiating divine light, slowly sailed into this forbidden area.

Three figures stood aboard the celestial ship.

These were the three supreme geniuses who had commented on Dongfang Yueming's "Great Dao of Fire" above Taiyi Immortal City!

That purple-clad, double-eyed youth— Zixiao, Junior Immortal Saint!

That stunningly beautiful woman with a vermilion dot between her eyebrows— Ling Yun, Junior Immortal Saint!

Behind them followed an elderly man with a profound aura, constantly vigilant of his surroundings—a protector of a Intermediate Immortal Saint!

"Such a rich aura of the Great Dao!"

Ling Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled, and suddenly she pointed to a floating island in the distance, exclaiming with delight, "Brother Zixiao, look there!"

On that isolated island grew a strange ancient tree. Hanging from the tree was a fruit, entirely crimson, radiating a rich aura of the Great Dao of Fire...

"That's... [The Great Dao Vermilion Fruit]?!"

Zixiao's double pupils contracted, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Such a treasure is extremely rare even in the Supreme Immortal Domain! I never expected to encounter it so soon after entering!"

"I'll go get it!"

He swayed and was about to rush over.

"Wait! Be careful, it might be a trap!" The protector behind him frowned, wanting to stop him.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a dead thing!"

Zixiao smiled confidently and flew towards the fruit with Ling Yun.

However.

Just as their hands were about to touch the fruit!

"Squeak--!"

Beneath the once tempting "Great Dao Vermilion Fruit," a mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly split open, emitting a piercing scream!

Immediately afterwards.

The so-called "ancient tree" instantly twisted and deformed!

What kind of tree is that?

That was Variants an ancient god lurking in the Xukong!

That fruit was merely its... tentacle, used to lure its prey!

"Boom--!"

Countless tentacles shot out from all directions like lightning, carrying a corrosive slime that instantly surrounded the two!

"Damn it! It's a trap!"

Zixiao's expression changed drastically!
