Rumble!
The twelve Heavenly Gates rotated terrifyingly as inexplicable auras burst forth. The terrifying halo distorted the space around them, and even Ye Xuan himself started to become blurry.
"Combine!"
Boom!
Time seemed to stop and space seemed to be frozen. The 12 Heavenly Gates suddenly stopped and a terrifying aura was emitted from Ye Xuan's body.
Rumble!
In the next moment, something terrifying happened!
The 12 Heavenly Gates started to overlap and showed signs of combining. However, Ye Xuan's face was pale and blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth.
The Twelve Heavenly Gates was a legend from ancient times. Those who could reach this step were not rare, but they were all people from the strongest three great eras.
Wanting to combine the 12 Heavenly Gates into one was a great calamity. Even in the three strongest eras, it was unknown how many experts had fallen at this stage.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was combining the 12 Heavenly Gates. He had enough foundation and he had devoured the three ancient spiritual items. The energy he had now was enough for him to combine the 12 Heavenly Gates.
However, there was a huge problem with this!
Although Ye Xuan could combine the 12 Heavenly Gates by devouring the three ancient spiritual items, he had to suffer inhuman pain during the process.
The pain came from the soul because combining the 12 Heavenly Gates would not only change one's physical cultivation but also one's soul.
The process of increasing one's soul would cause one's soul to disperse and die if one's willpower was not strong enough.
Some people might ask, "With Ye Xuan's tough journey, his willpower is already as strong as a rock. What is this pain in the soul?"
They were wrong!
The combination of the 12 Heavenly Gates was the last stage to cross to the next realm. It was also known as the Complete Immortal Realm. It was completely different from the combination of the nine Heavenly Gates.
The power of combining the 12 Heavenly Gates would directly target Ye Xuan's soul and even shatter it. From then on, he would become a walking corpse.
"Ah!"
Ye Xuan let out a low roar of extreme pain. The veins on his body wriggled like maggots. His eyes turned crimson red, and a large amount of blood vessels could be seen.
The pain coming from his physical body was nothing. The most terrifying thing was that Ye Xuan's soul was collapsing. If this continued, his soul would collapse and he would die.
Rumble!
The Twelve Heavenly Gates overlapped each other and faintly formed a Heavenly Gate. This Heavenly Gate was blurry and illusory, but it released an extremely terrifying aura.
This aura was heavy and desolate, giving people the feeling that the heavens were collapsing. Just the release of this aura caused the surrounding void to explode.
"Ah!"
During the process of the twelve Heavenly Gates merging into one, Ye Xuan's soul was gradually crumbling, and even his physical body was constantly exploding. Streams of blood mist sprayed out from all parts of his body.
Persevere!
Stop!
I won't die!
Ye Xuan crazily activated the cultivation in his body and used his tenacious willpower to endure the pain of his soul collapsing. He roared crazily in his heart.
Since his youth until now, what kind of calamity had he not endured?
He had to walk the path of combining the Twelve Heavenly Gates, and he had to face it. This was because this was a path that he had to go through to become stronger. He would not allow himself to fall at this stage.
Pu!
A mouthful of blood spurted out. Ye Xuan's eyes started to lose focus. His soul had already collapsed halfway, and the process of combining the Twelve Heavenly Gates was only halfway done.
I can't take it anymore!
Finally!
Ye Xuan's consciousness started to blur. It was not that he could not endure it, but the collapse of his soul made it impossible for him to continue. At this moment, a wave of fatigue swept over him, and it contained an unimaginable darkness.
Bang!
Finally, Ye Xuan fell!
He did not have the slightest aura of a living person. A wisp of death aura started to grow on his body, and the so-called forbidden death light started to surround him.
At this stage, it meant that Ye Xuan was about to fail in combining the Twelve Heavenly Gates. If he really died at this stage, with his foundation and cultivation, he might become a forbidden figure.
However, the Twelve Heavenly Gates were still fusing. It was just that the death aura on Ye Xuan's body became denser and denser. It was likely that before the Twelve Heavenly Gates fused successfully, Ye Xuan would be completely dead.
…
"Where is this?"
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. He remembered that his soul had collapsed and he was about to die, but his consciousness woke up again and he appeared in a void.
There was no sky, no earth, no chaotic universe, and no eternal starry sky!
There was only nothingness, a void. He did not even know if it existed. Ye Xuan did not even know what kind of state he was in.
In this void, there was no concept of time, no concept of eternal laws. There was only nothingness. Nothing existed, but everything seemed to exist.
"You're here."
Suddenly, an eternal and lonely voice sounded, waking Ye Xuan up. He was even more confused as he looked for the source of the voice.
"Who are you?"
"Where are you?"
"Where am I?"
Ye Xuan asked three questions in a row. His voice echoed in the void.
"This is your Soul Origin. It can also be said that it is my Soul Origin."
Dong — dong — dong!
A dark figure walked out from the corner. His figure was blurry and illusory, but his entire body was boundlessly dark, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"Who are you?"
Ye Xuan asked in a daze. He did not know why, but when he saw the dark figure, he felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if the other party was his family, as if they were connected by blood.
"Who am I?"
The dark figure muttered, then sighed. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "I am you, and you are me. Do you know who I am now?"
"You are me?"
Boom!
Ye Xuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared at the dark figure in a daze, and did not recover for a long time.
This was because someone had once said the same thing to him, and that person was his future self.
Although the future was illusory, it truly existed. Because in ancient times, the past, present, and future, this timeline was eternally unchanging.
"This is our first official meeting. Perhaps you will be surprised and have many doubts in your heart, but none of this is important. Because with the passage of time, you will understand everything," the dark figure said softly.
"You are my previous life?"
"You are the taboo of taboo?"
"You are one of the few people who shocked the heavens and the earth?"
Ye Xuan suppressed the shock in his heart. He looked solemnly at the dark figure, waiting for him to give him an answer.
"Previous life?"
The dark figure murmured, then looked up at Ye Xuan. The darkness around him slowly receded, revealing his true appearance.
