Chapter 735 Cycle of Reincarnation

Chapter 735 Reincarnation Road

As the traces of the Strange Clan first appeared, Lin Fan was shocked and very surprised, not expecting to encounter them so soon.

Moreover, through soul-searching, he learned that this world was a stronghold occupied by the Strange Clan endless years ago.

After this realm was destroyed, all living beings fell into depravity, and it was used by the Strange Clan as a military training ground to cultivate their great army, much like the Land of Darkness.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, Shi Hao arrived carrying several bloody heads, all of whom were the strongest experts of this realm at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Rank.

Counting the entity grabbed in Lin Fan's hand, there were a total of five Dao Ancestor-level figures dormant here, which was truly quite a few.

"The entire world has been polluted by the primal black blood, and even the plants have been blackened. There isn't a single normal living being left," Shi Hao sighed.

This was even more cruel than imagined. Although their homeland had suffered through the great dark turmoil, it at least retained a glimmer of hope for survival.

However, this realm had completely fallen, and all living beings suffered calamity—either meeting a violent death or plunging into darkness, losing their true selves.

Next, Lin Fan and Shi Hao interrogated the other Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and the results obtained were all the same: the Strange Clan had once descended upon this realm.

Back then, a big figure of that clan arrived and swept across this realm, leaving the Quasi-Immortal Emperors among the indigenous people completely powerless to resist.

Some were killed with a single palm strike from outside the Major Thousand Worlds across myriad ages of spacetime, while others were cursed and suffered from the dark body-breaking——

"As expected." Lin Fan was startled. That person was precisely the Immortal Emperor he had caught a glimpse of earlier while peering into the River of Time.

With such a figure making a move and no beings of the same Rank to contend with him, this realm naturally could not stop it and was quickly destroyed.

"Suppress these people first and don't be in a rush to kill them off, lest we alert the Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan and startle the snake in the grass."

Lin Fan suggested. Most importantly, he remembered that the powerhouses of the Strange Clan could not be killed and could continuously resurrect through the Plateau.

Ancestor and Immortal Emperor-level figures could do so; as for whether Quasi-Immortal Emperors could resurrect, he did not know, hence his worry.

In fact, among these five Quasi-Immortal Emperors, not all were invaders from the Strange Clan; some were corrupted ones from this realm.

Much like Emperor Cang, the World-Ending Old Man, and their ilk, in order to survive and pursue even greater power, they voluntarily allowed themselves to be eroded.

Such people were even more hateful; turning around to collude with external enemies, killing their peers, and destroying their mother realm, they truly deserved to die.

In addition, there were truly quite a few dark subjects in this realm. They had long been assimilated by the Strange Clan, full of aggression and slaughter, and were completely beyond redemption.

Naturally, Lin Fan and Shi Hao would not show mercy to these people; using the great divine power of Immortal Emperors, they completely resolved this faction.

For a moment, heaven and earth fell silent, but the matter was far from over, because the two of them discovered a special road in this realm.

The Reincarnation Road!

This drew their heavy focus. With no Reincarnation seen in the world, who would dare speak of Reincarnation and Rebirth? Once dead, one was simply dead.

Even if an Immortal Emperor wanted to resurrect a dead person, they had to project the heavens from the River of Time, paying a tremendous price to do so.

Yet now, this realm was telling them that Reincarnation existed. This was absolutely subversive; how could it not shock people?

"Whether it is true or false, we will know at a glance!" Shi Hao said, showing great interest in it.

Hearing this, Lin Fan also came over. The appearance of the Reincarnation Road greatly increased his interest, and he likewise wanted to investigate the truth of the matter.

At the end of a certain realm, there was an ancient city, unimaginably huge, standing tall like an Emperor City.

However, what was terrifying was that there were no living people in the city; everywhere were densely packed corpses, almost submerging the city.

Even though Lin Fan and Shi Hao had been mentally prepared beforehand, seeing this scene, they were incomparably shocked. This was completely a City of Death!

The corpses within were as numerous as hairs on an ox, with varying levels of cultivation—ranging downwards to human-realm Cultivators and upwards to immortal-realm beings, simply countless.

"Just how many living beings were killed here? Could it be that the bones of all the indigenous people who were defeated and died in this realm were all thrown into this city?"

Carrying their doubts, the two continued to observe.

Corpses occupied one-third of the area inside the city, and another third was open space.

The final third was out of the ordinary, and upon seeing it, both Immortal Emperors contracted their pupils.

Because in the center of the city, there was a gigantic millstone made of crude stone, larger in volume than the stars.

The crucial thing was that it was still slowly revolving, as if it had been so since antiquity, never stopping.

In addition, corpses in the city were transported over by a mysterious force from time to time, falling onto the millstone, plunging down along the holes, and then being crushed.

"Is the so-called Reincarnation simply decomposing everything a Cultivator Acquired in life back into Origin energy after death, returning it to heaven and earth?"

Lin Fan was deep in thought. He had to admit that this was also a kind of Reincarnation, but if it were merely this, it wouldn't be worth Immortal Emperors studying.

This was a city of the dead where resentment gathered; it should have been extremely thick, but because of the millstone, it was ground away completely.

One could see that after some resentment, obsession, and the like were ground away, blank spiritual seeds were left behind, as if they had been cleansed.

"Not only does it have the function of decomposing the bones of Cultivators, but if a Primordial Spirit is sucked in, everything from its life will also be washed away, forgetting everything—"

Shi Hao pondered, feeling that the millstone was like a place of Rebirth, sending people through Reincarnation just like crossing the Naihe Bridge.

It seemed to be telling the world that at the end of Reincarnation, everything would come to a close; no matter how glorious one's life was, it was just like past clouds of smoke.

"Swish!"

With a step forward, the two came from the city wall into the city, beginning to closely observe and study this millstone.

Sure enough, their earlier observations and experiences were not wrong.

After all the corpses were churned into bloody mud, they were further decomposed into energy, leaving only some blank spiritual seeds.

In addition, they also saw a vague road not far from the millstone. All the processed spiritual seeds were moving along this road, heading towards an unknown place deep in the fog.

It looked as though it connected to another realm.

"Is this the Reincarnation Road, the ultimate destination of all living beings?"

Lin Fan and Shi Hao were startled. Once they approached this place, a force tried to suck them in for Reincarnation and Rebirth.

This was too bizarre. A True Immortal body, famed for surviving myriad calamities without perishing, would only end up being ground down and decomposed if it fell into it.

Of course, for supreme beings like Immortal Emperors, that Reincarnation force was still not enough to look at and could not harm imperial figures.

"What is the Origin of this crude millstone? Is it a product of the creation of heaven and earth, or was it artificially crafted in the Acquired era?" Shi Hao muttered.

"Let's go down and find out!" Lin Fan's eyes were sparkling. At this moment, he was decisive and swift, moving along one direction of the millstone.

There was an ancient road, very quiet and bizarre, attracting many spiritual bodies that walked blankly in one direction.

It looked truly like a place where the dead returned after passing away, connecting to the underworld, about to be summoned to cast off and be reborn.

Shi Hao also descended as well. Both were very curious about this and followed those spiritual bodies all the way forward, wanting to see where they actually went.

Besides, the two of them were Immortal Emperors, standing almost at the pinnacle of this world, with peerless divine power, thoroughly understanding ancient and modern times, and comprehending everything.

For them, there were few things they did not know, so now that such an unknown road appeared, they were naturally very interested.

Therefore, the two set off on the road, barging into the mysterious passage.
