Chapter 2198: Portal Reappears

Chapter 2198 Portal Reappears

Although the world had returned to silence, the air was still thick with the stench of blood and destruction.

Those old monsters below the fourth realm Emperor Stage gathered together and exchanged glances with one another, noticing the bewilderment and shock in their eyes.

How could a bloody and chaotic battle trigger the wrath of the law power of Nirvana of Transcendence?

This was too bizarre and abnormal!

“Wait a bit more, maybe someone will come back alive...” someone uttered in an uncertain voice.

The atmosphere was extremely tense and depressing.

Those old monsters’ hearts pounded in their chest, restless and unsettled. Recalling the horrors they had faced before, they were still gripped by terror as if trapped in a nightmare.

As Emperors, they had witnessed the passage of time and endured countless upheavals. They were long accustomed to the cycles of life, death, and impermanence. The typical violence and chaos no longer troubled them.

Yet everything that happened today felt like an unprecedented blow, shattering the confidence and dignity they once took pride in and turning their minds upside down!

Who would have imagined that a youngster who had just become a supreme Emperor would possess such heaven-defying and abnormal strength?

Even in historical records, there was no mention of anyone who could be compared to Lin Xun.

This could be called unprecedented, the first in all of heaven and earth throughout the ages!

It was precisely because they had never encountered such a situation before that they couldn’t fathom how the combined strength of hundreds of Emperors could fail to suppress a single person.

Third realm Emperors were not strong enough, fourth realm Emperors fell short, fifth realm Emperors were insufficient and sixth realm Emperors could not measure up!

Even a combined encirclement proved ineffective!

Let alone these Emperors, if other old antiques or powerful figures were present, they too would likely find it hard to believe.

“Before, I thought that, as Emperors who stand proudly above the world, it would be both shameful and embarrassing to join forces against a single young man. After all, we have lived for countless years, yet we stoop to gang up on a youngster. If word of this got out, it wouldn’t reflect well on us…” an old antique suddenly said bitterly. “Who could have imagined that even with so many of us…it still wouldn’t be enough…”

Those words darkened many faces as a storm of frustration and defeat churned within their hearts.

If news of today’s battle spread, how those old veterans ganged up on a youngster only to be slaughtered and forced to flee in panic, it would undoubtedly become the greatest joke in the world!

Someone looked visibly upset and began complaining bitterly, “If not for Heavenly Emperor Shi being the supreme ruler of the Ancient Nebula Road, I would never have wanted to make an enemy of Lin Xun of Fangchun Mountain!”

Someone let out a long sigh, “Sigh, it’s no use saying anything now.”

“Hmph! Don’t tell me you are scared of a mere Lin Daoyuan?” An Emperor from Holy Illumination Ancient Sect snorted coldly.

Someone immediately retorted, “If you weren’t scared, then why did you run away? Since you’ve already fled, then stop with those sarcastic remarks. Do you not feel ashamed?”

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect Emperor was so infuriated that his face darkened, but he had nothing else to say. After all, he could not deny the truth that he had fled.

An old monster remarked in a deep voice, “In the past hundred thousand years, he is the first person to become a supreme Emperor and the first to attain the foundation of Eternal Supremacy. If Lin Daoyuan is allowed to live, his future accomplishments will likely surpass all other disciples of Fangchun Mountain, making him the strongest among them…”

He then continued, “Combat Emperor can pierce the sky and kill the former Nameless Esteemed Emperor. If Lin Daoyuan is stronger than Combat Emperor...then will this boy become the most revered person in the Ancient Nebula Road in the future?”

Those words cast a suffocating weight upon the others, causing their hearts to feel heavy.

The battle earlier had already made each of them deeply aware of Lin Xun’s strength. No one dared to doubt that Lin Xun’s future achievements would be anything less than those of Combat Emperor.

What made them feel suffocated and weighed down was the terrifying and astonishing accomplishments Lin Xun would undoubtedly achieve on the great dao path in the future!

At that time, everyone in the starry sky would likely have to live under his shadow!

“Don’t worry, even if he survives this time, Heavenly Emperor Shi will definitely not let him go! Do you think Heavenly Emperor Shi would struggle to deal with a youngster who has just stepped into the Emperor Stage?” said a black-robed middle-aged monk from Earth Treasury Realm coldly.

Hearing that, many old monsters felt slightly relieved. It made sense—Lin Daoyuan was already a target of Heavenly Emperor Shi. If Heavenly Emperor Shi found out that he had obtained the foundation of Eternal Supremacy, how could he possibly not do anything?

Others sneered and refuted, “Ridiculous! In the last epic chess match, no one in the world believed that those wandering souls of Fangchun Mountain could survive. But in the end, even the former Nameless Esteemed Emperor was killed!

“And this time, with so many of us Emperors joining forces, who would have thought we couldn’t kill Lin Daoyuan?

“What was the result? Many died and fled!

“After everything that has happened, who would still dare to believe that Heavenly Emperor Shi could actually deal with Lin Daoyuan? Who wouldn’t fear being humiliated again or suffering another crushing defeat?”

Those words seemed to vent the anger in his heart, ringing out loud and clear.

Everyone’s faces clouded over.

They came from different forces across the starry sky, belonged to different factions, and some were even openly hostile toward one another.

It was surprising enough that they hadn’t broken out into a fight;having disputes was completely expected.

“Why hasn’t anyone returned yet?” Suddenly, someone asked, snapping the old monsters out of their thoughts. They realized that a long time had passed, yet no one had come back alive.

This made them all feel something was wrong.

Could it be...that they really all met with disaster?

Someone suggested, “Should we go take a look?”

Awkwardly, no one responded. Many of the old monsters even rolled their eyes.

Go take a look? Do you think we’re tired of living or something?

Rumble!

With a deafening rumble, the entire world quaked as the law power that had returned to silence suddenly grew turbulent again.

The Emperors present immediately shuffled anxiously. They looked around in confusion, trying to understand what was going on.

On the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, Lin Xun, who had just begun meditating to repair his injuries, was also startled. He quietly observed and immediately understood what had happened.

He frowned and couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect the remaining old dogs would get a chance to live...”

Xia Zhi and Battle Emperor Fengling were both taken aback at first, then soon understanding dawned on them.

Then, an emotionless voice echoed between heaven and earth, “The path to Nirvana has already been claimed by someone. From this moment on, you all shall leave!”

The voice reverberated through the nine heavens. The panicked old monsters’ faces brightened with relief, as though they had just heard the most beautiful sound in the world.

It was finally over!

If possible, they wanted to leave here as soon as possible and never come back.

What path to Nirvana? What Eternal Supremacy Path? How could they possibly be more important than your own life?

Buzz—

A huge vortex portal emerged and condensed in the void.

“Let’s go!”

The old monster Emperors, who had long lost their fighting spirit and only wanted to survive, scrambled forward at once, competing for the first place, creating a rather spectacular scene.

On the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, Xia Zhi asked, “Do you want to slaughter another round?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “Pursuing a bunch of useless trash is not worth it. It’s better to wait until I recover from my injuries and then pay their sects and clans a visit one by one.”

Battle Emperor Fengling trembled inwardly.

What kind of visit? It’s clearly a plan to wreck their places!

The thought of the unparalleled power Lin Xun had displayed in the previous battle made Battle Emperor Fengling break out in a cold sweat for those ancient sects and clans.

“Alright.” Xia Zhi agreed effortlessly, as if she trusted every decision made by Lin Xun and accepted them without question.

As she spoke, she took out another large jade-green melon, slicing it into neat pieces with her fingers, as if they were sharp knives, before beginning to enjoy it.

This melon was sweet and refreshing, its flesh juicy and the taste was absolutely first-rate, which made Xia Zhi develop a special fondness for it.

“This girl can eat melons at any time...” Battle Emperor Fengling mumbled to himself, but then said with a smile, “Let me have a try. This melon really has a unique taste. It’s the best in the world and nothing else can compare to it!”

……

Meanwhile, in the other worlds of reincarnation, all the awakened cultivators were enveloped by a strange force of law power and taken away from their worlds.

Jintian Xuanyue, Xuan Jiuyin, Ling Kezi and others were also taken away one after another in the same way.

As for the cultivators who had yet to ‘awaken’ their consciousness, they were selectively forgotten in the world of reincarnation.

As for whether they would be lost in it forever or have a chance to escape the cycle of reincarnation, it all depended on themselves.

“Is it over? It’s only been seven years.”

Xuan Jiuyin and the others returned to Nirvana of Transcendence, the very place they had originally come from. In the far distance stood an ancient palace.

When these cultivators below the Emperor Stage returned, they were struck with the news that the path to Nirvana had come to an end, leaving them momentarily speechless and caught off guard.

Xuan Jiuyin looked around and asked quickly, “Something must have happened! Where’s Lin Xun? Why isn’t he here?”

“Young Master must have left the world of reincarnation a long time ago. Unlike us, who spent seven years trying to get out of reincarnation and in the end were forced out...”

Jintian Xuanyue’s clear eyes were filled with complex emotions, and her breathtakingly beautiful face was clouded with regret. It was a feeling of having missed the opportunity.

“This reincarnation experience has been rather wonderful. I have revisited my past paths, checked for flaws, corrected them and perfected myself. It has been immensely beneficial. I believe that it won’t be long before I encounter the great opportunity to attain the dao and become an Emperor.” Ling Kezi wore a satisfied expression, showing no trace of regret.

As a Buddhist cultivator, he believed in ‘fate’ the most.

Xuan Jiuyin and Jintian Xuanyue nodded together. The reincarnation experience was akin to a series of rebirths, bringing them unexpected benefits.

In the outside world, it was an ultimate fortune that was hard to come by!

Not only they, but also the other cultivators who entered the cycle of reincarnation with them, had reaped significant benefits.

This was Nirvana of Transcendence. There was only one Eternal Supremacy Path, but the experience would give anyone the opportunity to achieve ‘nirvana’ in their cultivation.

The only thing that disappointed them was that it ended after just seven years. They couldn’t help but feel a little reluctant…
