Vol 16 Chapter 5 (1/2)
Book 16, The Nihilum Zone, Chapter 5 – Ruler
Thetribulation of the red dust tribulations was this one, the thousand lives heart-tribulation It was an experience akin to being reborn a thousand times If one’s Dao-heart eak, one would probably be lost forever…
After all, to Ie of countless lifetiin to lose the memories of one’s former lives With so inal personality and person would be lost
Experiencing a thousand lives, in and of itself, was enough to cause many Loose Immortals to be lost…at which point, the karmic sinflames would burn their souls to ashes
The thousand lives heart-tribulation was even worse; it wasn’t as si so was a classic example; with each rebirth, he ‘possessed’ the spirit of someone whose story and personality resonated with his own…and each of their stories caused hiret If instead he had been randomly ‘reincarnated’ or ‘possessed’ the body of an evildoer, Ning’s iceheart-level htest
But every single ti’s soul rode with someone whose life experiences and histories resonated with himself Slowly…these experiences had penetrated his iceheart and entered his inner heart
And then…they had all ether!
A flood of emotions born fro an inconceivable level of intensity This was the final strike of the thousand lives heart-tribulation…and the eniuses had perished to this strike
Rumble…
His ‘iceheart’ had been coer able to maintain that state at all
“damn you”
“Your fault”
“Die, die”
“Go die”
“I want you dead!”
“Vengeance for Lotus”
The figures fro with rage, their faces savage and vicious
“…It’s all my fault It’s my fault My fault If I hadn’t shattered that Qiankun pearl, all of them would still be alive They had children…wives…parents…siblings…if it hadn’t been forhad already been coed by the endless waves of eh him
“Death is a form of escape…I owe them…I can’t face them…only in death…”
Within the Nihilu just drifted about with the waves, sent flying repeatedly in different directions
His eyes were shut He simply lay there, amidst the waves
If Uncle White and Little Qing were present, they would have ily weak at an utterly alar rate This was the exact moment when the final, explosive strike of the thousand lives heart-tribulation had arrived!
“The seven days are almost up”
“It’s almost been seven days…Master will definitely survive Definitely”
“Senior apprentice-brother…”
Uncle White, Little Qing, and Mu Northson were quietly waiting at S Mountain Uncle White was no longer drinking, Northson was no longer repeatedly sighing and bla to herself nonstop
They were all waiting and hoping…
Seven days ago, the karmic sinflames had descended
Now, seven days later…Ji Ning would be facing the erous test of all
“You have to survive”
Within the void waves of the Nihiluth…but when it reached an extremely low level, that tiny strand of will just wouldn’t die out, nowas forcibly sustaining Ning’s Dao-heart, causing it to be unable to completely, truly break apart
Within Ning’s soul
It was completely dark here
Under the pressure of that torrent of e’s Dao-heart had weakened so much that his soul had been thrust into utter darkness, the darkness of utter despair Logically speaking, Ning should have already succumbed to it…but he had not
“I want to be carefree and unbound!”
“I want to control my own destiny, and to not be toyed with by fate!”
“I don’t want for those I love to leave me…”
In the moment when his Dao-heart sank down to its lowest depths…a voice rang out in the deepest part of his heart This was Ji Ning’s own voice, a resolute voice, the voice he used when he was at his
This was a chant which Ning had shouted to himself, even back in his previous life on Earth
In this life, after seeing his parents perish one by one at S Mountain…this desire was only reinforced
When he came to understand his oord-heart…he realized that his sword-heart sought true freedoht mastery over his own destiny!
This was the voice that rang out in the deepest depths of Ning’s soul
“I…”
“I a”
