The Nether River churned as if it was moving with the vortex in the void. It was only when the figures of the cultivators from the Underworld Sect disappeared from the Nether Planet and the even more astonishing figure in the sky walked further and further away that the vast Nether River slowly returned to normal.
Gradually, the river stopped churning. Gradually, the countless dead souls that had been hiding and trembling returned after repeated probing. They rose and fell on the surface of the river, and after a long while, the voices of the dead could be heard again.
These voices contained the seven emotions and six desires, the desire to live, and the unwillingness to die. This was the normal state of the Nether River. It was exactly the same as before the Dark Sect cultivators had entered.
To a certain extent, the Nether River could be described as calm.
The Nether Planet floating on the Nether River was different from the calm here. Even though the Dark Sect cultivators had suffered heavy losses this time, hundreds of them had left, and dozens of them had returned.
But … even so, when they learned that the Heavenly Dao had successfully obtained the Emperor of the Abyss' remains, it still caused the cultivators in the Dark Sect to cheer and be excited. Even the voices that gathered in the Underworld Planet were transmitted outside the planet.
"Rise!"
"Glory!"
"Reforge the Stone Tablet Realm!"
These voices surged out in waves and spread to the Nether River around the Nether Planet. They spread into the void and fused with … a figure gradually appeared at the end of the vortex.
This figure was Chen Qing, who had walked over.
Perhaps at this moment, his original name was no longer important. He should be called … the new Nether Emperor of the Dark Sect's Heavenly Dao!
He stood silently at the end of the vortex.
After a long time, he sat down cross-legged and stopped muttering. Instead, he closed his eyes.
His Dao Will spread out.
It followed the vortex … to the Realm of Life on the other side?
It spread out.
In the blink of an eye, in the Realm of Life on the other side of the vortex, the Ten Thousand Sect Clans in the Never-Ending Dao Domain?
All the Celestial Domain-Realm cultivators?
Their bodies trembled. No matter what they were doing, they felt their hearts palpitate at this moment.
At the same time that they felt their hearts palpitate?
There seemed to be a faint voice in their hearts?
It echoed … in their hearts.
"From today onwards?
The cycle of reincarnation restarts?
The laws are reforged?
The rules are reestablished?
The living shall live, the dead shall die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust … "
"All those who seek reincarnation, die!"
"All those who seek to escape?
Kill! "
"Mortal soul returnees?
Kill! "
"Mortals don't respect Underworld Dao practitioners?
Kill! "
Five sentences?
It was as if five bolts of heavenly lightning had directly exploded in the minds of all the Celestial Domain-Grade powerhouses within the Never-Ending Dao Domain.
For a time, the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain was shocked.
Before any of the Cultivators could react, the same thing happened in almost every one of the Ten Thousand Sects Clans. Bolts of Heavenly Lightning appeared noiselessly in the form of a black fish-shaped cloud. It was the sign of death.
Even though it was only a bolt of lightning, its might was so great that it shook the heavens and the earth. Because … it was the punishment of the Heavenly Dao!
The punishment of the Dark Sect's Heavenly Dao!
Even planetary systems couldn't withstand a single blow from this lightning bolt. It pierced through the void, pierced through the barriers, pierced through the defensive spell formations, and slammed into the fleshly body and soul. Anyone who was struck by this lightning bolt … was instantly destroyed in body and soul!
Just like the last word of those four sentences … Kill!
Because those who were locked onto by the heavenly lightning were all …
Their lifespan was already at its end, but they still managed to forcefully escape.
Those who had been killed but had used the power of the Never-Ending Dao to revive their souls.
In an instant, at least a thousand Planetary Domain cultivators died. And in the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain, the fish-shaped black fish that appeared everywhere also became a nightmare at this moment, causing the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain to be completely shaken.
There were also angry roars from the void that gathered around the fish-shaped black clouds from all directions, turning into beetles formed by golden clouds. That was the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao, and it seemed to want to fight the Dark Sect's Heavenly Dao!
As countless commotion erupted, between the Heretical Dao and the Sacred Domain, in the territory of the Never-Ending Clan, an even more majestic fish cloud that almost covered the entire Never-Ending Clan erupted with even more shocking heavenly lightning.
There wasn't just one bolt of heavenly lightning here, but countless. Their targets were the Never-Ending Clan members who had been revived in this world. At the same time, there were even more Nether Dao lightning that gathered together, forming a lightning river that went straight for … the depths of the Never-Ending Clan, within the countless restrictions and array formations that the Never-Ending Clan had created … the Never-Ending Reincarnation Cauldron!
This cauldron was green and semi-illusory. It was the source of the souls of the dead that carried the entire Dao Domain of the Never-Ending Clan. With this cauldron, all the dead could be revived here according to the Never-Ending Clan's wishes!
At this moment, the lightning river roared and instantly descended. Angry roars erupted from within the Never-Ending Clan.
"Chen Qing!"
"How dare you!"
Several Divine Emperors were enraged at the same time. They all wanted to stop it, but the moment they tried to do so, the descending lightning river exploded. Amidst an indescribable roar, even the powerful Divine Emperors retreated with blood spurting out of their mouths.
Although they were all injured, the Divine Emperors were peak Almighties after all. They actually managed to stop the lightning river from collapsing. It looked like it was about to dissipate, unable to strike the Cauldron of Reincarnation.
But at this moment … a huge hand suddenly appeared in the starry sky of the Never-Ending Clan. It instantly materialized, carrying with it a boundless aura of death. With a roar that shook the entire Never-Ending Clan's Dao Domain, it … grabbed at the Never-Ending Clan's Cauldron of Reincarnation!
It was so fast and powerful that it could suppress tens of thousands of Daos. Even the Divine Emperors were shaken by the appearance of this huge hand, and their expressions changed drastically.
This was because … the Dao contained in that hand, and the power it displayed, had already surpassed the limits of what they could stop. This was no longer the level of a Divine Emperor. As the huge hand rumbled, it was about to touch the Cauldron of Reincarnation.
A cold snort sounded from within the Cauldron of Reincarnation. In the next instant … an elderly figure sitting cross-legged appeared vaguely above the cauldron. Behind him, golden light shone for tens of thousands of feet, and the shadow of a golden beetle appeared. The Heavenly Dao that was cold and unfeeling on the outside was now very obedient behind this elderly figure. It was even trembling, as if it was in awe of this person.
After this cold snort, this elderly figure opened his eyes. He raised his right hand and pointed at the incoming hand.
The void rumbled, and the starry sky collapsed. When the huge hand came into contact with this finger, it immediately shattered into pieces. However, that finger … also became blurry.
Seeing the hand shatter, the surrounding Never-Ending Clan cultivators were all excited. The Divine Emperors also showed respect in their eyes. Even though they were usually arrogant and haughty, at this moment, they all lowered their heads and bowed to the elderly figure sitting on the Cauldron of Reincarnation.
"Laozu!"
This elderly figure … was the Never-Ending Clan's Primordial Lord Laozu. He was the first person who had supported the Never-Ending Clan's rise to power and destroyed the Dark Sect!
At this moment, this Never-Ending Laozu did not pay attention to the surrounding Never-Ending Clan members. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the starry sky. In the direction of his gaze, the void churned, and a huge vortex silently appeared. He could see the figure sitting cross-legged in the vortex, and behind that figure, huge waves surged into the sky … the Nether River.
"Today, you will not be able to destroy this Never-Ending Reincarnation Cauldron," Never-Ending Laozu said slowly. His voice was filled with the vicissitudes of time, as if it contained the meaning of endless time.
"It doesn't matter if the Reincarnation Cauldron cannot be destroyed. From now on, any soul that is resurrected by this cauldron will be punished by the Nether World. This is the law of the Stone Tablet Realm!" The Dark Sect's Heavenly Dao figure in the vortex said calmly.
After these two figures each said a sentence, they fell silent. They did not speak, and the surrounding cultivators did not dare to speak either. Amidst their nervousness, there was also apprehension and uncertainty about the future.
After a long while, Never-Ending Laozu suddenly laughed.
"Chen Qing, Allheaven has already fallen, and a crack has been opened in the Stone Tablet Realm by a cultivator from the outside world. Now, it is extremely weak. The Dark Sect's mission can no longer be completed. You should know that I am not the soul that the Dark Sect is looking for. Let me leave, and this place … will belong to you."
"You are not allowed!" The Underworld Emperor's figure in the vortex said calmly.
