Teleportation

"I have waited a hundred years, and now you have finally arrived!"

When he appeared for the forty-ninth time, the old man was no longer fierce and ruthless, always ready to fight and kill. His expression became very gentle.

His body was no longer as solid as before, but rather somewhat indistinct, allowing people to see the black stone behind him through his body.

At this moment, he had a kind and gentle expression, as if he were entrusting something to someone who was seriously ill.

"You have the courage, wisdom, and strength to have reached this place, children. Your abilities have impressed me, and I will give you my final guidance," the old man said, stroking his beard. "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Uh-huh?"

Looking at the amiable old man, Li Shaojun thought back to the old man who had killed him without a word earlier, and felt that they shouldn't be the same species.

He grunted, glanced at Zhang Xuezhou who had put away the Suihou Pearl, and mustered his courage to extend his right hand again.

If he dies after this touch, then it will be Zhang Xuezhou's turn to be tested.

Li Shaojun steeled his resolve and swiftly reached out to grab the old man's beard.

His fingers paused only slightly before his entire right hand pierced through the old man's head and touched the black boulder once more.

"This is the Reincarnation Stone; through the endless Yellow Springs, the cycle of reincarnation continues!"

The old man showed no displeasure at Li Shaojun's extremely rude behavior; instead, he offered a very mechanical explanation.

"The Great Derivation Number is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. When it comes to the last one that escapes, it will surely be difficult to suppress the Heavenly and Earthly Fortune borrowed by the strange demons," the old man said. "The Great Han Dynasty that I established by slaying demons is probably teetering on the brink of collapse, and it likely doesn't have many years left."

"Does the prosperity of a dynasty have anything to do with you?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"The mysteries of destiny are boundless. Without the protection of the destiny of heaven and earth, disasters such as floods, demonic calamities, man-made disasters, snowstorms, and droughts would occur. Even the healthiest dynasty could not withstand such turmoil," the old man said. "I only had a hundred years of peace by chance, slaying the dragon and seizing destiny, but now I can no longer suppress it."

The old man seemed to be responding to Zhang Xuezhou's question, but it also sounded more like he was talking to himself.

Li Shaojun and Zhang Xuezhou tested each other using physical contact and verbal methods, respectively, but the results were not satisfactory.

The two could only watch the old man's performance, while remaining cautious and on guard.

From the old man, Zhang Xuezhou and the others learned the name of the black boulder and also gained a general understanding of the old man's identity.

If I'm not exaggerating, the item in question was indeed left behind by Emperor Gaozu.

"There are strange demons beyond the realm. The black demon was slain by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, while the white demon was killed by me by chance while fleeing. These strange demons possess extremely special abilities. They are constantly plundering all the mysteries of our world. If they succeed, our entire world will become their territory, and we will suffer endless enslavement from then on."

"Our world is like a sheepfold, surrounded by wolves, and occasionally a wolf sneaks in!"

"The physical body of the White Demon I suppressed has turned into the Yellow Springs. After he escapes, he will surely seek a new body. You must find him and kill him again. He will then seek a new body, and you will kill him again. Repeat this process until he is destroyed. And with each slaying of the White Demon, you will also obtain the stolen fortune of heaven and earth, just like me, and thus become superior beings!"

Young people, I believe in you!

"You must do your best, so that I can rest in peace in the afterlife!"

"It all depends on you!"

The old man talked on and on, and towards the end, he even became emotional.

Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun listened attentively, and when they relaxed slightly, they saw that the old man's body was thin and frail, with only his two eyes remaining, darting up and down.

Like the two yin and yang parts of a yin-yang symbol, the two eyes rotate continuously, then gradually become blurry, as if about to disappear.

"Has he finished explaining?" Li Shaojun asked.

"We should be careful!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, and saw an eye emitting golden light shooting towards him. This prompted him to channel his prepared Law Power into the Suihou Pearl.

The golden light shot towards Zhang Xuezhou, but was firmly suppressed by Sui Houzhu, and was caught back like a fish caught in a net.

Li Shaojun was hit and then fell to the ground with a thud.

"Could it be that Emperor Gaozu is stalling for time to gather time for his ultimate move?"

Zhang Xuezhou frowned.

He looked at the black boulder, only to find that the once glossy black rock had lost its luster.

The words "Life and death cycle to suppress you alien races" on the boulder also mysteriously disappeared.

He glanced at the fallen Li Shaojun, held the Suihou Pearl in his right hand, and touched it with his left.

A chilling feeling immediately washed over me.

His cautiously guarded ancestor did not reappear, or perhaps the opponent's cooldown period had not yet ended.

When Zhang Xuezhou touched the boulder called 'Reincarnation', he felt a blur before his eyes, with overlapping dark shadows constantly shifting in his vision.

He had just focused his gaze, trying to see more clearly, when he felt the Yellow Springs welling up beneath his feet, and a waterway appeared before him.

"Water area?"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about his good luck in the water, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

If something else were to happen, he would really hesitate a bit, but he has a high level of luck in matters related to water.

He stretched out his leg and stepped onto the Yellow Springs Water. Without even using a water-avoidance spell, his body floated away on the waves.

When Zhang Xuezhou looked back, Li Shaojun and the black boulder were nowhere to be seen, and even the gray earth and sky had vanished.

In the pitch-black darkness where not a single ray of light could penetrate, only this stream of Yellow Springs was clearly visible.

Ripples rose and carried Zhang Xuezhou soaring for only a moment before light returned to his eyes, and Zhang Xuezhou felt himself stepping onto the ground.

He steadied himself and turned around, only to see another huge black rock standing behind him.

Beneath the boulder, there was neither the temporarily fallen Li Shaojun nor the previous Yellow Springs Water, but rather seventy or eighty blue-faced, fanged creatures walking back and forth.

As soon as Zhang Xuezhou stepped in, these blue-faced, fanged creatures raised their heads.

"Popularity?"

"The finest meat!"

"Hell has no gates, come of your own accord!"

"Hmph~ Hungry~"

In just a short, chaotic moment, these blue-faced, fanged creatures either ran or leaped, swarming towards Zhang Xuezhou, who had just revealed his body.

"Why are there so many evil spirits?"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could fully react, the blue-faced, fanged creature that had collided with him was already flaming with nameless fire.

Before they could even utter a wail, these evil creatures had already transformed into tiny green flames and fallen to the ground.

Tiny specks of gray light drifted down from the Suihou Pearl, turning into gray dust that dotted the gray-white earth.

"You're all dead before I've even had a chance to unleash my full power?"

He held up the Suihou Pearl, never expecting that the pearl that Kong Anguo had exchanged with him possessed such incredible power.

Holding this precious pearl, he could kill any emperor or ghost in his path, and was virtually invincible.

This emboldened him greatly, and he couldn't help but hold the Suihou Pearl and scan the surroundings.

A short while later, Zhang Xuezhou realized that this area was completely different from before. He seemed to have entered another secret place through this black boulder called Reincarnation.
