Chapter 682: Unable to Handle the Nourishment (1/2)

Purple energy spanning four hundred kilometers, while not the most impressive sight to make history, was by no means trivial either. But for someone of Lu Yun’s status and talent, such a phenomenon of ascension was indeed remarkably unimpressive.

However—

……

Inside the kingdom of hell.

The projections of the six paths of reincarnation covered all of the netherworld. While her kingdom hadn’t returned to its Primeval Era peak, it now surpassed any single major in the world of immortals. Even the infinite black void surrounding this world was illuminated by the projections.

Therein the darkness lay a phantasmal mirage that appeared as a giant prison filled with shackles and instruments of torture. It was, however, devoid of incarcerated prisoners. They’d all entered the kingdom and been cleansed by Hell Flowers to become residents of hell.

That endless abyss was a fragment of hell, the hell from the Primeval Era of human dao.

Lu Yun had given up being master of reincarnation, but that didn’t mean he’d relinquished the power of reincarnation. What he’d relinquished was… hell itself!

As a living being, to be the supreme judge of hell, to determine another’s virtuous merit and retribution, to reward good and punish evil… Such power should belong to the heavenly dao alone, not to a single person!

Like Ge Long had once said, heavenly tribulations shouldn’t be controlled by anyone in particular, or it would become a fount of disaster for immortal dao as a whole. Likewise, one person shouldn’t rule over reincarnation by themselves, or it would bring nothing but misfortune to all living beings.

In the past, mankind’s tragedy and hell’s destruction… had certainly not been accidents.

In this moment, Lu Yun’s phenomenon of ascension enveloped the entire kingdom of hell, his being bathed in the power of reincarnation.

The strange giant snake, Carmine Eternal, had reduced herself to a small snake about thirty centimeters long and was lazily lounging about on the ground.

Glancing up at the phenomenon, she gasped in astonishment. “He gave up his sovereignty over reincarnation, the right to dictate good and evil in the world! What amazing conviction and courage. If the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak had shown the same resolve in the past, he might still be alive.”

Whoosh!

Lu Yun’s nascent spirit suddenly flew out of his consciousness and merged with the phenomenon in hell’s sky. At this time, he discovered with great shock that… his mind encompassed everything within hell.

At first, the kingdom had been administered by the Tome of Life and Death. But now, it’d become Lu Yun’s own, as though it were his second replica.

Unlike Xing Chen, his first replica, the kingdom of the netherworld could only remain as it was and couldn’t take human form. But here, Lu Yun could do as his heart desired, ruling over all like a god.

Most importantly, his nascent spirit had transformed into the six paths of reincarnation. As long as it existed, he would never die! Even if his body was destroyed, he could be reborn into a new body through the power of reincarnation.

The qi inside him quickly began evolving into an immortal’s immortal force. His strength soared, overtaking the heights he’d attained when reinforced by the Demonic Sovereign Cauldron.

Once a cultivator, he was now a true immortal! A genuine immortal through and through!

It all felt somewhat surreal. At long last, he’d become a fabled immortal of legend.
