Chapter 625: The Spread of Return to Nothingness, True Spirit's Dimness
Chapter 625: The Spread of Return to Nothingness, True Spirit's Dimness
In the vast multiverse, countless spaces exist.
Many ancient monsters open their eyes, their faces revealing a horrified expression.
"Have I... fallen from my realm?"
"No, my strength remains unaffected!"
"Wait... is Yang Wu a Dao Lord?"
"I see the path ahead... no, it's not Yang Liu, it's still Yang Wu."
"Omniscience, the cycle?"
At this moment, all Yang Wu cultivators suddenly envision the road ahead.
It is a path of even greater power!
"Entering the cycle means eternal existence, even Return to Nothingness is helpless."
"To enter the cycle, one must master a single path!"
In this instant, in the multiverse, countless Yang Wu discover the path forward.
The path leads to becoming a Dao Lord and entering the cycle.
This is the only path available to all Yang Wu, aside from stepping into Yang Liu.
However, this road is fraught with danger, requiring complete mastery of a single path.
In the blink of an eye, in the Yang Plane, the Yin Plane, and even the Rebirth Plane, countless great battles erupt.
The struggle for the Dao surpasses the severity of a villain killing his father.
More and more powerful beings emerge, known as Dao Lords.
Worlds within cycles appear, resembling colossal walls that span the Yang Plane.
More and more Return to Nothingness are blocked outside by these immense walls.
In a short time, the spread of Return to Nothingness seems to have slowed, its expansion rate reduced.
However, just then, an unexpected change occurs.
"Not good, we Yang Wu, even with control over a single path, struggle to become Dao Lords!"
"Three Disasters and Three Tribulations!"
It seems that Return to Nothingness has discovered the cycle hindering its spread, thus unleashing Three Disasters and Three Tribulations to obstruct Yang Wu's ascension to Dao Lords.
After all, it is too easy for Yang Wu to become Dao Lords, hence the Three Disasters and Three Tribulations.
Of course, for those like the Yang San Realm Lord, who wish to become Dao Lords, there are no such tribulations.
Given the abundance of original Yang Wu, if all were to attain Dao Lordship, the spread of Return to Nothingness would drop to zero.
Naturally, the so-called Three Disasters and Three Tribulations have different names and manifestations in the Yin Plane, Yang Plane, and Rebirth Plane.
Meanwhile, in the Rebirth Plane, confusion clouds San Sheng's eyes.
The Three Disasters and Three Tribulations descend, obstructing the path to Dao for all beings.
As a cultivator who proves the cycle, he endures the greatest blow.
Return to Nothingness... falls upon him.
"The cycle!"
San Sheng uses the cycle to resist Return to Nothingness.
His place of enlightenment is in the Rebirth Plane, where time and space are trapped in the cycle. As long as he remains alive, even if the world is destroyed, it can be retrieved from the Cosmic Mother River.
But at this moment, Return to Nothingness seems to awaken, perceiving him as a threat, and instinctively seeks to destroy him.
In an instant, in countless spaces and across the multiverse, the power of Return to Nothingness descends upon San Sheng.
A crack appears on San Sheng's face.
He resembles a porcelain doll, his body shattered.
Feeling the force of Return to Nothingness up close, he suddenly realizes the truth.
"So, this is Return to Nothingness."
"There is life and death, stillness and motion."
"The Heavenly Emperor is Return to Nothingness."
"Stillness is Return to Nothingness."
"Wu Fa is Return to Nothingness."
"Even I am Return to Nothingness."
All Dao laws, divine abilities, ultimate truths, great paths, and principles fall within the realm of Return to Nothingness.
The stronger the sentient beings, the more formidable Return to Nothingness becomes.
The universe revolves, and life progresses towards death.
The cosmos, from its inception, moves towards Return to Nothingness.
"The cycle!"
San Sheng roars, attempting to counter Return to Nothingness with the power of the cycle.
In this moment, he feels an infinite amount of pressure.
It's as if several Yang Liu are attacking him simultaneously.
Or perhaps, all the Dao Lords, Yang Wu, sentient beings, and even non-living things in the world are targeting him.
He attained Dao with Yang Wu, and in terms of strength, he is already comparable to Yang Liu.
However, this is not the cycle he seeks, not the path he pursues.
In a mere instant, his hand is destroyed.
The power of the cycle reassembles.
Such collisions occur incessantly.
Just a tiny overflow of power is enough to annihilate tens of thousands of Realm Lords.
San Sheng's clash with Return to Nothingness reaches a stalemate.
Destruction, rebirth, shattering, and renewal.
"Is this... delusion?"
After an unknown number of years, San Sheng's consciousness becomes hazy, and he wanders in a daze.
The corrosion of Return to Nothingness also weakens.
At this point, San Sheng's soul dims, and his true spirit shatters.
He sees his body transforming into delusion.
"This is the curse of descent."
"The curse upon me, upon the path I follow."
"All things, in the end, will return to nothingness."
By using the cycle to resist Return to Nothingness, he incurs the curse of descent.
This curse not only destroys him but also his world.
This destruction is so severe that even the cycle of a Dao Lord struggles to restore it.
After all, this is the ultimate force of destruction.
"Cough, cough..."
San Sheng coughs up blood, his mouth filled with blood foam.
It's been so many years since he last suffered such an injury.
He wanders in a daze, his consciousness blurred, stumbling like an ordinary cultivator.
"This karma can only be resisted by reincarnation."
"What is reincarnation?"
"Where is my reincarnation?"
He falls into the mortal world.
His slender figure resembles a severely injured swordsman.
"Hey, beggar, here's a steamed bun."
"Miss, stay away from this man, he might have enemies..."
"Beggar, get lost!"
"This man must be a deity; he survived three years of heavy snow without freezing to death!"
"Deity, please accept me as your disciple; I seek revenge!"
In the mortal world, San Sheng, in his dazed state, encounters numerous people.
Suddenly, a moment of clarity flashed in his eyes as if he had realized something.
"Someone has become a Dao Lord?"
"Devouring the path to ascend?"
"It feels somewhat familiar."
The aura was vaguely familiar to him.
It was as if... it was the same being he had encountered before.
"Reincarnation... what is reincarnation?"
Instead of sensing the Dao Lord further, he continued his search for his own reincarnation.
Time passed, and no one knew how many years had gone by.
The Descent Curse's influence on him grew stronger.
His place of enlightenment was also known as the Land of Abandonment.
During the endless years, he witnessed the Heavenly Emperor's arrival in the Rebirth Plane, seemingly searching for him.
He also saw the Divine Being's aura transform into a Heavenly Deity, filled with ambition.
However, all of this had nothing to do with him.
His true spirit and consciousness were gradually dissolving.
All that remained was a single thread of determination.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.
"There is Meng Po in the cycle of reincarnation."
"Who is Meng Po?"
"Oblivion?"
"Does reincarnation lack forgetting?"
"Yes, I must forge a sword... the Sword of Forgetfulness."
The determination of his three lives was hazy and confused.
The Sword of Forgetfulness could erase the effects of the Descent Curse.
It was also a part of the cycle of reincarnation.
"This is my only chance... to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
In this moment, the body of his three lives shattered, transforming into nothingness, leaving behind only a shadow, like a ghost of the mortal world.
He wandered in the Rebirth Plane, searching for materials to forge that sword.
"A proud bone for the sword's bone."
"Only a bone filled with determination and fearlessness is the best choice."
He traveled far and wide, exploring the rivers and mountains.
Later, he saw a young man burdened with hatred. He took away all the boy's emotions and granted him the greatest sword Dao talent in the world.
Even later, he witnessed a man in the cycle, piercing a woman with his sword.
The snow fell heavily, and the sky seemed to bleed.
The woman was covered in blood, her expression cold and distant, like a lone lamp in the darkness.
She tightly clutched a sword in her hand.
The sword of the Sword Disciple, transformed.
After some time, in the cycle, he saw the remnant spirit of the Devouring Dao Lord.
She seemed to have perished in the Three Disasters and Three Tribulations.
The shadow of his three lives went to the Universal Alliance and found Wu Shi, using her to replace the Devouring Dao Lord.
Much later...
The Wealthy Dao Deity fell, and Wu Shi held a blood-red sword, her emotions suppressed yet fierce.
Looking at the lonely figure of the girl, confusion filled the eyes of his three lives.
"Has this sword... succeeded?"
"No, it hasn't succeeded yet, what is missing?"
For Wu Shi, this sword was already powerful enough to counter the Descent Curse.
But for his three lives, this sword was still too weak.
It was fundamentally unable to serve as the pillar of reincarnation.
"What is still missing?"
Confused, he did not retrieve the sword.
On the other side, Wu Shi held the blood-colored longsword, repelling the Nine Heavens Divine Palace and avenging her master.
The Dao Deity who had harmed her master was also slain by her.
The expanded Descent Curse was flattened by the sword in her hand.
"Master..."
Wu Shi's eyes turned slightly red.
She stood on Tomorrow Snow Mountain, amidst the heavy snowfall, yet the people of the past were nowhere to be found.
"Zhou Mountain Grand Realm... and the Land of Abandonment... due to the Descent Curse, if one ventures deep, time will become chaotic, and the past and future will be but a thought away..."
She remembered the Sword Disciple.
She recalled the Sword Disciple who had drawn his sword against her on Yun Meng Mountain.
"Master, I will definitely see you again."
She no longer actively searched in the Rebirth Plane but instead ventured deep into the Land of Abandonment.
The Zhou Mountain Grand Realm had long been drawn into the Land of Abandonment, becoming a part of it.
She ventured deep into the Land of Abandonment, standing in the Zhou Mountain Grand Realm, at the edge of time and space.
She waited, and as time became chaotic, perhaps in a crack of time, she might see the Sword Disciple again.
Unfortunately, even if she traveled through the Land of Abandonment, transcending the cycle, she still couldn't find that familiar figure in this timeline.
At the same time, in the crack of time, the eyes of his three lives were calm as he murmured, "Quite the actor."
If anyone else were to observe Wu Shi, they would assume she was a deeply emotional romantic, always longing to see the Sword Disciple again and change the reality of him becoming a sword.
But in actuality...
This was indeed the case.
Wu Shi, at every moment, was inadvertently investigating the identity, strength, and ways to enhance the strength of his three lives.
It was clear that Wu Shi sought revenge.
After all, his three lives had toyed with her and her master.
His three lives, cloaked in a black robe, rarely showed a moment of clarity amidst the confusion, "Could it be... this sword, is missing me?"
Later, in the Land of Abandonment, Wu Shi had a fortuitous encounter; she picked up an Unusual Artifact.
This Unusual Artifact had drifted from the Yin Plane, seemingly transformed by Yang Four.
She calmly integrated this Unusual Artifact into the Sword of Forgetfulness, her master's transformation.
The snow fell heavily, and she gripped the sword in her hand, her expression cold, "Can... I kill him?"
She wasn't sure.
That mysterious and unpredictable shadow that had toyed with her and her master was far more terrifying than an ordinary Dao Lord.
The only fortunate thing was that the being's condition didn't seem very good.
She had lain in wait for an unknown amount of time.
Finally, on a snowy day, she decided to unsheathe her sword.
She would avenge her master! The one who had played with fate would be played by fate!
