"Is the Ancestral Sacrifice Lord referring to the child who is being chased by a female descendant of the Celestial Race?" Tianhuang Halberd quickly locked onto the little one.
"Being chased?" Liu Shen asked in confusion. What had the little one done this time?
But she was still certain that the Heavenly Desolate Halberd was referring to Little Dot.
"That's the child. Once the Kunpeng Nest opens naturally, he will come to you with my token. You can leave with him."
"Take good care of him inside the Kunpeng's nest and give him some challenges."
Tianhuangji now understood. So the reason he was asked to stay was to help that child become stronger!
No wonder he's a child favored by two Celestial Kings! Yunhua glanced at Willow Goddess's arrangement.
Give them some challenges? That sounds so familiar... But... brilliant!
Even if the truth comes out later, it will be Liu Shen's training, what does it have to do with me, Yunhua?
Tianhuangji agreed, wanting to see what amazing performance the child favored by the ancestral spirit would have.
Then Liu Shen wanted to leave. Kunpeng was definitely dead, so there was no point in staying.
"No rush. Let Kunpeng settle its own karma."
Yunhua said, "Let me see if Kunpeng still has any hope of reincarnation."
Tianhuang was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly, "Reincarnation? My Lord, she can be resurrected! She was cursed with the Immortal-Breaking Curse!"
"We should at least give it a try," Yunhua said with a slight smile.
Tianhuang was somewhat shocked. This Immortal King actually possessed such abilities. Could it be that the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King had been resurrected? But even the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King couldn't achieve this level of power back then.
Tianhuang led the way forward and came to a grand stone chamber, in which there was a blood pool, which was bright red and dazzling, as hot as the sun, like a pool of blood diamonds piled together.
This is the blood of the Kunpeng, its last remnant, a gift for future generations, and now one of the hopes for the Kunpeng's resurrection.
Symbols danced here, transforming into rain of light, into roc birds, into kun fish, undulating and rising in the void, revealing the laws of nature.
"Open!" Tianhuang shouted, activating the technique left behind by Kunpeng.
An unparalleled Kunpeng appeared, a mark of the past. In those eyes, endless years flowed by. In a single glance, the world changed, a hundred generations rose and fell, and eternity passed by.
Looking back once more, in Kunpeng's pupils, the sun and moon sank, great stars fell, the Milky Way collapsed, heaven and earth were reborn, and chaos was annihilated—a sight beyond compare.
"My Lord!" The Heavenly Desolate God knelt down, just as he had a million years ago.
"The cycle of six realms of reincarnation, the cycle of cause and effect, the reversal of life and death..."
Yunhua held the Six Paths of Reincarnation in one hand, like a supreme god-emperor, commanding the laws of the heavens, communicating with the supreme cycle of reincarnation, and bringing back those from the past.
"Life and death give birth to creation."
With a sorrowful sigh, the Willow Goddess held the jade bottle, pinched a willow branch, and sprinkled countless drops of sweet nectar, naturally shattering the Kunpeng's true spirit.
The concept of death has different definitions at different levels of life.
For mortals, losing their head means they are dead and cannot die again.
For the deity who ignited the divine fire, losing an arm or a leg is no big deal. Even if the head is gone, the primordial spirit is immortal and will still reside in the mortal world.
As for immortals, especially immortal kings, even if they don't want to live anymore, it's difficult for them to die.
Even if the physical body collapses and the primordial spirit is destroyed, there will still be obsessions remaining in the world, which can one day awaken the true spirit.
Kunpeng has lost much, and many things are gone, not even as much as the Immortal King's immortal obsession.
This is the fundamental difference between the Ten Fiends and the Immortal King. Their combat strength is comparable to that of the Immortal King, but their vitality, status, and survival ability are far inferior to those of the Immortal King.
Fortunately, Kunpeng left behind a pool of blood in order to pass on its legacy. It turned out to be a gesture of goodwill prepared for future generations, but this goodwill ultimately brought about her own success.
Without this pool of blood, even if one were to reincarnate, one would not be the same person as before, but rather a similar flower.
Unless it is the Celestial Emperor who intervenes, recalling eternity in a single thought, and revealing the true spirit.
In a sense, all living beings are a continuation of the lives of their ancestors.
The foundation of this continuity lies in bloodline, in the blood itself. A pool of blood contains fragments of the Kunpeng's Great Dao.
Life and death cycle, creation and life force, rebirth and nirvana, strands of primordial spirit power gather, the wind and clouds in the world suddenly change, all those with feelings and righteousness will return, the ten fierce Kunpeng that once fought bloody battles for their homeland will soon reappear in the world!
Thousands upon thousands of radiant fragments surged from the blood pool, dazzling holy light tore through the void, and another layer of dark light, like a black abyss, seemed to merge and converge like yin and yang.
Yin contains Yang, and the eyes contain Yin. Kun transforms into Peng, and Peng transforms into Kun, achieving ultimate freedom and ease!
Transcend all suffering!
[Transcending the cycle of birth and death!]
The Willow God and the Desolate Tower chanted scriptures for Kunpeng, praying with their supreme status for blessings from Heaven.
"Whoosh!" Countless rays of light, fragments of the Great Dao, essence blood, and primordial spirit imprints converged like a long river, forging the body of an unparalleled roc.
Once, he looked down on all the gods and suppressed the Ten Fiends of antiquity. Now he has returned against all odds!
"My Lord!" the Heavenly Desolate God cried out with immense excitement.
Dapeng's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he wanted to take the universe into his pupils and live another life.
Suddenly, a silver stream of light appeared, corroding the immortal aura and piercing through a hole, causing the reincarnation attempt to fail.
After a mournful cry, all the runes reassembled, and everything scattered, disappearing into the Kunpeng's blood pool and transforming into thousands of Kunpeng fish fry.
Everything returned to its starting point, settling into the ordinary. Was it a failure?!
Chapter 842 Transfer Immortal Curse
All the Celestial Kings looked toward the source of the silver light, which was a stone cave. Inside, there was a misty, celestial aura, as well as a certain tragic aura. The two were intertwined, creating a scene that was both sacred and chilling, quite peculiar.
Where Kunpeng passed away, there was no intact body, only the broken bones that had lost their spirit. They were not large, only a dozen or so pieces remained, the rest of the bones had been completely corroded.
"It's the Immortal-Severing Curse at work. This is a curse that's said to be able to shatter even immortals," Huangta said solemnly.
During the ancient war between immortals, Kunpeng almost perished, dragging his heavily injured body to this era. He was about to disintegrate, but it was suppressed.
In its final years, Kunpeng could no longer suppress the Immortal-Breaking Curse, and the old wounds from the ancient war between immortals flared up, resulting in its complete destruction.
"This curse is too powerful; it persists even after death and rebirth."
"After being afflicted by this curse, one's cultivation will be completely destroyed, and one's magical power will slowly melt into nothingness. It can cripple a true immortal, turning him into a mortal in the end."
"Only a Celestial King can resolve this. Although Kunpeng is one of the Ten Fiends, he is ultimately not a Celestial King."
Willow Goddess sighed and shook her head.
The Heavenly Deity asked anxiously, "Lord Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit, can you lift the Immortal-Breaking Curse?"
“It could be done at its peak,” Liu Shen said after a moment of contemplation. “Perhaps it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years.”
The Heavenly Deity breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was hope, that was good. They had waited for millions of years, so a few more years wouldn't make a difference.
"It doesn't take millions of years. The Immortal-Breaking Curse can only be broken by an Immortal King, but it can be transferred."
After observing for a moment, Yunhua slowly said...
"Where can we find a true immortal willing to die?" Huangta said helplessly.
This is another insidious aspect of the Immortal-Breaking Curse: the transferor must also be a true immortal to completely transfer the curse; otherwise, there will be two more people in the world who are simultaneously cursed.
This is the time to test humanity; this is a life-for-life approach.
Is immortality more important, or is family and friendship more important? The Curse of Immortal Destruction silently tests everything.
"Let me give it a try."
Yunhua grinned and said, "If you come to the Perfect Universe and don't experience the Immortal-Breaking Curse, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself the protagonist."
Only through trials can one grow; the Immortal-Slaying Curse is undoubtedly a milestone.
If you can survive this, you will have a chance to become a master in the realm of immortals.
"Absolutely not!" Huangta said decisively, "Even the Ten Ferocious Kunpengs back then didn't survive."
Yunhua represents the hope for the reincarnation of the Immortal Kings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and cannot be lost.
"Yeah yeah."
Willow God nodded in agreement, saying, "That's too risky. It would be better to wait until your injuries heal. Perhaps it won't take tens of thousands of years, just a few thousand years."
Even Tianhuang joined in the persuasion, explaining that for immortal beings, a single period of seclusion can take tens of thousands of years.
As for Yun Hua, who was in the vast universe of Shrouding the Heavens, if he couldn't become an emperor after thousands of years, he might as well go home and be a local tyrant; there was no need for him to even consider becoming an immortal.
"ten thousand years is too long, fight for now."
Yunhua smiled calmly and said, "The Immortal-Breaking Curse is just a trial, a means to test whether my Dao Fruit is mature and whether the system is correct."
"Only by enduring this hardship can one hope to rise from king to emperor in this lifetime."
The kings fell silent. To break a king into an emperor—this was an extremely profound question.
In this world, the Immortal King is already an insurmountable level. Beings at this level cultivate for countless years, and their greatest pursuit is to break through the King level and become an Emperor.
However, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever succeeded.
Legend has it that on the other side of the Boundary Sea lies a secret about the Emperor.
Therefore, the kings crossed the sea, fearless of death, one after another, generation after generation, stepping out of their respective worlds to cross this terrible ocean.
The Boundary Sea is treacherous; even Immortal Kings will suffer calamities. Some fall into darkness, while others slumber for billions of years, but one day they will return.
It was the greatest dark turmoil in history.
If the source of turmoil in the Shrouding the Heavens universe was becoming an immortal, then the source of turmoil in the Perfect Universe was becoming an emperor.
The Boundary Sea is the sea where one can become an emperor!
"Fellow Daoist, are you confident?" Willow God asked.
"Creating laws is the foundation of becoming an emperor, and imperial laws are the foundation of an immortal emperor."
Yunhua revealed a shocking secret that moved all the kings.
For many years, not to mention the Celestial King, even the Immortal King and the Burial King who has lived in seclusion for many years have not found any hope of becoming an Emperor.
But Yunhua found it. Could it be that there is a great mystery within the cycle of reincarnation?
"In that case, please go first, Fellow Daoist Yun."
Liu Shen solemnly stated that among all the kings, Liu Shen was the one who most desired to become emperor.
Because the divine way of this life is partly derived from the Willow God, who is the ancestral spirit of sacrifice and the ancestor of all spirits. The divine way originated from sacrificial incense offerings.
If the war at the end of the Immortal Era hadn't happened, everything would have evolved normally.
Liu Shenhui was the first God-King in the human world, possessing the dual attributes of Immortal King, God-King, and the Great Dao Fruit.
At this moment, the pioneers that Liu Shen spoke of are the pioneers of the divine way!
“Good!” Yunhua nodded, then closed his eyes and summoned the God of the Underworld, drawing upon the Blood Pool and invoking the Immortal-Breaking Incantation.
The Immortal-Slaying Curse used to curse the Ten Fiends Kunpeng could not possibly be incomplete; it is a complete Immortal-Slaying Curse capable of severing the cultivation of a true immortal and destroying their immortality.
However, when it collided with Yunhua's body, it emitted wisps of silvery-white light, preventing the Immortal-Breaking Curse from penetrating.
Emperor Light Immortal King's physical body was too powerful. Even though he had Dao injuries, it still gave birth to Emperor Radiance and naturally resisted all curses.
"This level of Immortal-Breaking Curse is a bit weak. Kunpeng's precious body is damaged and he is on the verge of death, which is why the Immortal-Breaking Curse was able to take advantage of his weakness."
Yunhua seemed to be deep in thought. She released her precious body and let the Immortal-Breaking Curse enter and exit her body.
Despite the Immortal-Slaying Curse devouring his cultivation and life, although his physical body was close to becoming an emperor, he ultimately did not. In theory, the Immortal-Slaying Curse had some effect on him.
Suddenly, Yunhua's expression became more serious.
The Willow Goddess immediately showered down a great deal of sweet dew, and the two Celestial Kings also stepped forward to help, hurriedly asking, "Backlash..."
"It's not a backlash, it's just that it hurts too much and has aggravated my Dao wounds."
Yunhua said with a pale face, "Once it takes effect, it not only destroys a person's cultivation, but also causes their three souls and seven spirits to suffer intense torment."
The cultivation level destroyed by the Immortal-Slaying Curse was not as fast as Yunhua's enlightenment, and he quickly adapted to the curse.
The only thing that surprised him was that the pain of the Immortal-Slaying Curse was real pain, ten thousand times more painful than being turned into dust in his true form.
For a brief moment, Yunhua was numb with pain, but now she's gradually getting used to it.
The Celestial Kings breathed a sigh of relief, and Willow Goddess said with interest, "Give me a copy of the Immortal-Breaking Curse too."
