Chapter 206: Nethersea Reincarnation
Somewhere in the starry sky, a river carrying soul light manifested, and a figure shrouded in gray-white light stepped forth from the Soul River.
Within his eyes, countless great dao rules flowed, and the myriad worlds of the Great Chiliocosm manifested. In just an instant, the origin of this world's heavenly dao was perceived.
Around him, Time intertwined, and the past scenes of this world were reflected in his eyes.
The figure shrouded in gray-white light spoke, with a hint of disdain: "There's nothing too special about this world either. It's just a very ordinary Great Chiliocosm in the Era of Dharma Decline."
With a single thought, the heavenly dao of this world was suppressed, unable to riot.
Given the secrecy of the Soul River, even that Heavenly Emperor from back then couldn't detect it immediately.
Because this special river was a unique creation crafted by the supreme beings of the Strange Clan, a river meticulously created to control reincarnation.
As long as a Great Chiliocosm was born in The Heavens, the Soul River would connect to that world.
This river coexisted with the Dao, naturally possessing unimaginable secrecy.
If the power of the Soul River didn't actively reveal itself, and if the Immortal Emperor was unaware of the Soul River's existence beforehand and the Soul River remained hidden, even an Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to detect its presence, viewing it as part of 'Dao'.
Similarly, the Ancient Underworld and the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit were also existences with similar characteristics, possessing extreme stealth capabilities.
Using a similar method, they evaded Shi Hao's gaze back then, making him believe that there were no traces of the Strange Clan within The Heavens, and thus he stepped into The Heavens.
Even if they were later discovered by Ye Fan and others, leading to a great battle, they still couldn't be completely eradicated. These things weren't at the peak level of combat power, but their stealth ability was absolutely top-notch.
It was precisely at this time, while the Soul River had not yet retreated or disappeared, that a voice quietly sounded, as if it had already been waiting for his appearance.
"Hmm, you're right, but it's precisely such a very ordinary place that gave birth to such a Great Fiend, and it's foreseeable that in the near future, at least two more terrifying fiends will be born, perhaps not much inferior to that Great Fiend."
"Who are you?" Gray Nether, shrouded in Quasi-Immortal Emperor light, spoke. He had a feeling of dread.
He hadn't sensed anything at all, completely unable to detect any living being approaching him.
At this moment, a dark light abruptly entered his eyes, and a black jar appeared in his line of sight.
Instantly, Gray Nether, the Strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor, felt a chill run down his spine, while at the same time, a strange sense of familiarity arose in his heart, as if he had sensed the presence of one of his own kind.
"Could it be that a Fellow Daoist of our clan was sealed in this world by that person and has now broken free?" Thinking of this, Gray Nether's heart relaxed slightly.
From his performance just now, this sealed being must be a terrifying existence, and presumably not far from that supreme level.
"Tsk tsk…" The black jar floated in the star river, emitting dark light, and a voice of emotion came from within, "What a familiar yet strange feeling. Years have passed, and on your body, it is similar yet different. I seem to see my past self, truly wondrous…"
Gray Nether spoke, asking: "May I ask which era this Fellow Daoist belongs to? Were you sealed in this jar by that person in the ancient years? Perhaps I can help you break free."
"Hmm~" A contemplative voice came from within the black jar, "Which era do I belong to? Well, that's a long story. If we were to talk about it, it would be very, very long ago."
Back then, when he was eroded by the Dark True Blood of the Original Immortal Emperor, he used himself to block the loophole and fell into a long slumber. Time flowed, and he didn't know how long it had been.
Times had changed, and he didn't have much interest in tracing back that history and resurrecting his former acquaintances.
The Strange Clan had not been eliminated, so resurrection was useless.
Hearing this, Gray Nether's heart trembled. It seemed this sealed person was truly an ancient Senior, no wonder his strength and cultivation were terrifyingly high!
"Nine times out of ten, he is already close to touching that supreme realm. Presumably, this is also the reason why that Heavenly Emperor sealed him!" Gray Nether thought in his heart.
He believed that the Heavenly Emperor sealed this Senior with the intention of saving him, allowing him to return to light, after all, this was an existence with the potential to reach the supreme Immortal Emperor realm.
He looked at the black jar, sensing the aura of that attribute, and his heart stirred, thinking of something, and secretly said: "This dark aura, I presume, should be an old Senior from the Black Blood Era. I think he should be an existence from that time!"
"Tracing back the origin, even I don't remember how long ago it was. I slept for too, too long during that time." At this moment, the dark primitive true spirit's voice, full of emotion, came from within the jar. He said, "However, speaking of it, I should be considered the first Immortal Emperor of these boundless Heavens. Back then, the world should have called me 'Original', meaning the first, the original Immortal Emperor!"
Instantly, Gray Nether's expression changed drastically. Infinite great dao immortal light erupted from his body. Without thinking, he used his utmost divine abilities and immediately wanted to distance himself from this world.
In the first instant, his figure flickered and disappeared, transforming into a gray-white inauspicious light.
He left in an instant, rushing outside The Heavens, rushing beyond Time and space.
Instantly, he traveled to the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, standing outside Time and space, wanting to escape into the Soul River.
However, the next moment, something that made Gray Nether's hair stand on end happened. It was as if he had never left that starry sky. He was still standing in the dark starry sky, as if he had never left.
The palm-sized jar hung not far away, emitting dark light, as calm as before.
Looking at the black jar, Gray Nether's mind trembled. At this moment, he finally knew where that familiar and intimate feeling came from.
Before that Wild Heaven Emperor, there was once an Immortal Emperor born within The Heavens. That Immortal Emperor was polluted by their clan with the strongest Dark True Blood, becoming a Dark Immortal Emperor.
Later, that Dark Immortal Emperor was killed by the Wild Heaven Emperor. Now it seems that Immortal Emperor has indeed been resurrected by the Wild Heaven Emperor and has returned once again.
The reason he felt familiar was likely because what was in the jar was the Dark True Spirit that Immortal Emperor had cut off.
Gray Nether was terrified, but he still spoke: "Senior, our clan can help you break free. Why doesn't Senior return with me? Once I report to the Chief Sacrificer, I can definitely help Senior restore your former Dao Fruit!"
He believed that if what was in the jar was truly the Dark True Spirit that Immortal Emperor had cut off, it might not be impossible to win him over to their side.
Helping him recover in the future might even allow him to truly retaliate against that Original Immortal Emperor!
"Do I need your help to break free and restore my former Dark Dao Fruit?" The Dark True Spirit of the Original Immortal Emperor in the jar seemed to recall something unpleasant, and his voice turned cold, "You stinking rats hiding in the sewers, you bugs who only act in the dark, are you worthy of winning me over?"
Compared to Shi Hao who killed him back then, he hated the Strange Clan who made him fall into darkness even more!
He was no longer the Dark Immortal Emperor from back then, but the dark side of the original Original Immortal Emperor, merely carrying the original memories.
Hearing this, Gray Nether knew that this matter could not end well.
Instantly, he shouted fiercely: "Do you think you are still the supreme Immortal Emperor of the past? You are merely a remnant that was cut off, abandoned, and sealed, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"
"Do you really think I have no power to resist? Hmph, today I will let you know the power of our clan's supreme beings!"
Gray Nether roared. This place was filled with a killing aura, and all the great dao were extinguished. This Quasi-Immortal Emperor erupted.
Dao sounds rumbled, and a vast, ancient scroll, emitting indescribable light, appeared in this starry sky.
That scroll hung in the air, radiating light that could not be described in words. It was surrounded by endless great dao patterns, and on the yellowed paper, one could vaguely see boundless, layered oceans of yellow and gray.
The scroll rustled, and the ocean of great dao surged forth. A boundless, unimaginable Dao Sea with a sense of reincarnation appeared.
The Yellow Springs Dao Sea was boundless, infinitely spreading out, attempting to break the Original Immortal Emperor's original Immortal Emperor domain belonging to the Dark True Spirit of the Original Immortal Emperor!
"Somewhat interesting. Your clan's foundation is indeed profound. It's actually an Immortal Emperor weapon." Facing such a situation, the Dark True Spirit of the Original Immortal Emperor showed no tension at all, saying unhurriedly, "Just right. I've tasted the taste of the strongest Dark True Blood before. Now, tasting the polluted taste of this slightly inferior gray true blood is also good."
After taking out the Nethersea Reincarnation Diagram, Gray Nether became confident and said coldly: "Ridiculous. Do you think you are still the supreme invincible being of the past? Now you are merely a remnant cut off by your own true self, abandoned, and sealed!"
As his words fell, the Nethersea Reincarnation Diagram hanging above his head shone brightly. The deity within it spontaneously revived, and the boundless, infinite Yellow Springs Dao Sea spread out, attempting to break the Original Immortal Emperor's Time domain in this place, which was almost stagnant.
"What a ridiculous bug. An Immortal Emperor weapon that has only revived to this extent also wants to contend with me? Let's see if you can break out of my domain first!" From within the black jar, the Dark True Spirit of the Original Immortal Emperor chuckled indifferently, letting the Yellow Springs Dao Sea spread out.
The Yellow Springs Dao Sea spread out, reaching everywhere. Instantly, it had completely filled this equally boundless Immortal Emperor domain.
"Boom~"
The boundless Dao Sea rumbled. This domain exploded, countless great dao were extinguished, and endless order and rules collapsed.
However, the next moment, after breaking out of this Original Immortal Emperor domain of the Original Immortal Emperor, the Yellow Springs Dao Sea entered an identical Immortal Emperor domain!
"Rumble~"
The Dao Sea rumbled, and the existences that had fallen into reincarnation throughout history emerged one after another. At this time, they were even more powerful than when they were alive. Under the blessing of the Nethersea Reincarnation Diagram, they unleashed great divine abilities, shattering this almost stagnant Time and space!
"Rumble rumble…"
The Dao Sea bombarded, and endless great dao were derived from the Yellow Springs Dao Sea, infinite and boundless, evolving into billions of killing moves and divine abilities, finally piercing through this domain.
However, what greeted Gray Nether and the Nethersea Reincarnation Diagram was still an identical Original Immortal Emperor domain!
Once, twice, three times... nine times... ninety-nine times...
They were like bugs being toyed with. After piercing through one Immortal Emperor domain, they would arrive at an identical Immortal Emperor domain.
Forever repeating, endlessly.
