Chapter 2447: The Path of Rebirth
After an hour, the golden skeleton led Lin Feng and the others to a green ghostly world. The clouds in the sky were green, emitting a luminous green light, and the vast ground beneath was filled with pale green phantoms lined up in queues, moving forward. Around each queue were undead guides, holding dark red sabers. If any phantom strayed from the line, the sabers would fall, and the phantoms would vanish into smoke!
Observing the legendary Underworld, Ma Biaohu and Tao Tao couldn’t help but shiver. Without Lin Feng, they wouldn’t have witnessed such a scene; ordinary people would never see so many ghosts, it was terrifying!
Tangyuan grasped Lin Feng’s shoulder tightly with its small paws, also extremely nervous. It was scared of this place, the eerie atmosphere was too frightening. The thought that these were all souls of the dead made it shudder...
Lin Feng remained composed in the face of such scenes. Since he was already here, fear would be useless, so he faced everything calmly. He was more concerned about the appearance of the passage to leave this place.
Led by the golden skeleton, they exited the cave and instead of heading into the distance, they climbed a mountain path towards the summit. This journey was much longer than the previous one, taking seven or eight hours to reach the top.
Upon reaching the summit, the scene below was even more breathtaking. Countless phantoms walked towards all directions, and at the end of each queue, there was a large hole like a black hole, where phantoms jumped in.
Surrounding the summit, a sea of green clouds floated, appearing stunning but exuding an eerie aura. Yet, the path of rebirth the golden skeleton spoke of was nowhere to be seen!
"Senior..." Lin Feng looked at the golden skeleton, opening his mouth to ask, but only managed half a sentence.
The golden skeleton looked at Lin Feng, smiling while shaking his head, not answering. Suddenly, the skeleton stomped its foot, and from the summit emerged a road entirely formed by green light—actually more of a bridge suspended in the sky!
"This is the Path of Rebirth. When you reach the end, you can return to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Remember, never speak of anything here, or you’ll suffer calamities of cause and effect." The golden skeleton pointed at the floating bridge made of green energy, reminding Lin Feng and the others again. Afterward, as if recalling something, it waved its hand, creating a hollow space beside them. A golden skeleton arm reached out and took out four dark fruits.
Looking at Lin Feng and the others, the golden skeleton slowly said, "Our encounter, consider this a gift. These fruits are called Soul Consolidating Heavenly Fruits, found in the Netherworld. If faced with a situation where souls might dissipate, consume these fruits immediately to ensure your soul stays intact."
"Thank you, Senior."
"Thank you, Senior!"
...
Lin Feng and the others immediately expressed their gratitude, each taking a Soul Consolidating Heavenly Fruit and carefully putting it away. Then they glanced at the green energy Path of Rebirth, their eyes filled with doubt, wondering what this path actually was. If they walked on it and it suddenly fell apart, they wouldn’t know how they died!
But at this moment, Lin Feng trusted the golden skeleton’s words. At this point, the golden skeleton had no reason to harm them. After pondering this, Lin Feng was the first to step onto the Power of Reincarnation path. He turned around, bowed to the golden skeleton, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your care. If fate allows, Lin Feng will surely return here to see you someday!"
After bowing deeply, he immediately turned, leading Tao Tao and the others onto the path. The golden skeleton shook its head and turned to descend the mountain. It had done all it could; the rest was up to Lin Feng and the others.
The three persons and one beast walked on the Path of Rebirth, and after covering only a section, Lin Feng suddenly noticed an animated vision.
In the animation, he seemed to wear very special clothing, meditating and cultivating with a middle-aged man. The scene shifted; the cultivation world was so vast it couldn’t be described, shockingly so. But amidst this, more than ten Dharma Treasure ships suddenly appeared in the clouds, and the person looking exactly like him perished in battle...
The second vision transformed; he appeared in an Imperial Palace, assassinating his family’s arch-enemy, unable to fulfill his wish, eventually dying under the siege of hundreds of guards!
The third vision followed an old man, still as a child, beginning cultivation alongside the elder...
The fourth image, he was hunted by hundreds of cultivators, while the other cultivators called him a demon!
...
Unknowingly, Lin Feng had already seen countless images, and he understood something: the scenes he had seen along the Road to Rebirth should all be from his past lives. As he watched, he stopped in his tracks.
At the same time, Tao Tao, Ma Biaohu, and even Tangyuan had experiences similar to Lin Feng’s, except they could only see their own past lives, and they all stopped in their tracks, falling into a special state, as if in meditation, motionless...
It was unclear how much time had passed when Ma Biaohu suddenly changed, his blood energy suddenly erupting, continually absorbing the Underworld Qi in the air, his muscles turning deathly pale as paper, without a trace of blood, like a corpse!
But this was just the beginning. Next, his body began to swell continuously, his muscles endlessly tearing apart. In an instant, he grew significantly, and the strangest part was that no blood flowed from his torn muscles, while Ma Biaohu faced unparalleled pain, with his entire body convulsing, even his features distorted!
Quite a long time passed, Ma Biaohu’s muscles seemed completely torn, his body void of any color, like a corpse brutally ripped apart, lying motionless on the ground.
Yet, after just a brief moment, those already torn muscles inexplicably seemed to come alive, intertwining with each other, quickly reconnecting, and Ma Biaohu’s body, initially beyond help, began to twitch again. Gradually, blood color reappeared, and the towering blood energy began to revive!
In merely an hour, all of Ma Biaohu’s injuries had recovered, and he regained consciousness, almost bursting his eyes out when he saw he was completely naked. He immediately took out a piece of clothing from the Space Treasure and put it on. After dressing, he realized Lin Feng and the others hadn’t woken up yet, letting out a long sigh, nearly tossing them to Grandma’s house.
But since Lin Feng and the others hadn’t woken up, he couldn’t leave first, so helplessly, he sat to the side to study the changes in his body. This study revealed a shocking result, his body’s recovery level had reached an extraordinary degree. A cut with a Dharma Treasure wouldn’t work, as it automatically healed in moments!
"Am I turning into a monster?"
Feeling the indescribable power filling his body, looking at the already healed and vanished wound, he was speechless, utterly unable to understand what had happened to him. He had merely seen some events from past lives, so why had such changes occurred...
While he was astonished by his metamorphosis, Tao Tao also awoke at this moment, her eyes turning white, green, and gold, swirling like small vortices, emitting a spiral-shaped tricolor aura, appearing indescribably bizarre!
But this situation quickly ceased, returning to normal, and Ma Biaohu couldn’t hold back, asking Tao Tao: "Tao Tao, what did you comprehend?"
Even a fool could tell Tao Tao had comprehended something different just like him, but her manifestation was so brief that he couldn’t deduce it, prompting him to ask to understand what changes had occurred to Tao Tao.
"Power of Reincarnation!" Tao Tao’s eyebrows knitted slightly, as she uttered this name.
"Power of Reincarnation?" Hearing this, Ma Biaohu was perplexed, what on earth was this?
"Yes, exactly the Power of Reincarnation, but the cost of using it is tremendous, depleting one’s vitality and lifespan, activating the Power of Reincarnation to send the opponent into Samsara. Once used, the opponent dies, but one is also affected. If the opponent’s strength exceeds mine tenfold, I will also die!"
Tao Tao spoke, a bitter smile on her lips. She truly hadn’t expected to comprehend such a thing; it’s simply a mutual destruction ability. Even if the opponent is killed, she would die too. What kind of thing is this? The only certainty is that before dying, she can drag the one who killed her into the grave. It’s plainly a scenario where everyone dies together, such an ability really isn’t very useful...
"Heavens, how could there be such an ability..."
After hearing Tao Tao’s explanation, Ma Biaohu’s eyes nearly popped out. Once deployed, it would kill no matter the opponent’s level. This means if Tao Tao truly fought desperately, she could even assassinate a Divine Emperor. What a concept, simply unimaginable!
But it’s indeed a double-edged sword, not to be used unless absolutely necessary, yet at critical moments, it’s an ultimate weapon no one would expect...
