"How dare you act so impudently in the Netherworld?!"
Suddenly, a furious, heaven-shaking roar rang out in the skies.
An incomparably enormous palm appeared, smashing downwards towards the black mountain as though it could blot out the skies.
This palm contained the power of the entire Netherworld. How terrifyingly powerful was the power of an entire world?!
The heavens were collapsing and the earth was collapsing!
The enormous palm smashed downwards, causing cracks to appear in the skies. It was as though the entire world was about to be shattered!
Once this palm struck, the black mountain would be blown apart, and no one would be able to survive!
"Yama …"
When Qi Heng saw this heaven-shaking palm, a fierce look appeared in his eyes. "Since I dared to attack the Netherworld … how can I not have some tricks up my sleeve?"
"Blackmountain Seal! Suppress the Netherworld! "
A thick, dense earth energy began to surge forth. Qi Heng let out a loud roar, pressing down with both hands. The entire black mountain trembled, and an aura of nirvanic and apocalyptic nirvanic energy began to explode forth from the black mountain.
Rumble …!
After this aura of nirvanic and apocalyptic nirvanic energy exploded forth, the entire Netherworld began to rumble.
It was as though yet another hegemon had appeared within the Netherworld. Half of the power of the Netherworld which had been activated by the Yama's palm suddenly dissipated.
"Emperor East Peak? The Netherworld Emperor? "
The aura of nirvanic and apocalyptic nirvanic energy emanating from the Blackmountain Seal caused the Yama to feel utterly stunned.
"Annihilation Sword!"
Ning, in perfect coordination with Qi Heng, took advantage of the fact that half of the power of the Netherworld had dissipated to strike out with his sword!
A five-colored light that could annihilate all things soared into the skies, chopping apart all things. It was unstoppable!
The sword-light chopped through the skies, chopping the enormous palm which was descending towards them into two halves.
"Ahhhh!"
A desolate, agonized scream rang out as the enormous palm exploded, causing blood to rain down.
"It's actually … ink?"
Seeing the blood splatter everywhere, Ning began to frown. In Ning's eyes, after the giant palm shattered, what fell down wasn't blood at all … it was ink.
"What is the truth of this world? Ink … what is going on? "
Ning gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes cold. "No matter what, I have to get to the [Three Lives Stone] first. Sooner or later, I will reveal the truth!"
"The Blackmountain Seal is a supreme treasure left behind by the Netherworld Emperor, the Emperor of the East Peak. The Emperor of the East Mountain was the ruler of the underworld before the Yama-King level. Yama-King, do you think you can stop me? "
Qi Heng snorted coldly, and the vigorous power of the earth surged again. The huge black mountain rampaged, crushing everything in its path.
After one of Yama's palms was severed, he was forced to retreat in defeat.
Soon after, the Reincarnation Pool appeared in front of everyone.
Down below were six sparkling, enormous ancient wells, surrounded by a ten-thousand-meters-tall rock.
This boulder was the Three Lives Stone!
"That's the Three Lives Stone! Past, present, and future lives. Let's go and recover our memories! "
Qi Heng shouted loudly and waved his hand. A powerful force surged on the black mountain and sent everyone on the black mountain to the Reincarnation Pool.
The huge black mountain transformed into a large seal and fell into Qi Heng's hand. Qi Heng floated down from the sky and arrived in front of the Three-Lives Stone.
"Past life, present life, and future life. According to what Ji Ning said, I lost my memories of the afterlife? "
Qi Heng took a deep breath. "Afterlife? I want to see what sort of afterlife this is! "
He reached out and pressed his hand against the Three Lives Stone. An enormous rumbling sound rang out in his mind, as though … a shackle had been unlocked!
Memories that had been sealed away for many years now resurfaced in Qi Heng's mind.
"Ahahaha! These are my memories? How interesting! "
Autarch Hunyuan's memories and the memories of the Grand Xia cultivator, Qi Heng, resurfaced in Qi Heng's mind.
Now that his memories had been restored, Qi Heng could tell that everything before him was completely different. "It really is the smell of ink! The entire world is filled with the smell of ink! "
"Ji Ning, I …"
Yu Wei had regained her memories. When she thought back to what had happened within the Sea Suppression Formation, she couldn't help but blush.
"Young master, I'm Spring Grass! I'm Spring Grass! "
Xiaoqian had regained her memories as well. She grabbed Ning's hand, tears of joy streaming down her face.
"Ji Ning, you were absolutely right! This world … it is filled with the smell of ink! "
At this moment, Qi Heng walked over, a solemn look on his face as he stared at Ning. "Based on my speculations, this world … is most likely nothing more than a painting! An ink painting! "
He pointed towards the Netherworld before him. "There is no Netherworld, no mortal world. Everything … is fake!"
"Fake? Isn't this a dream of a past life? Perhaps … we've simply returned to our past lives under the influence of this painting. It might not necessarily be fake, right? "
Ning didn't quite agree with Qi Heng's judgment.
"Right! Everything that happened in this life has to be real! Young master, I am Xiaoqian. I am Spring Grass! "
As Spring Grass saw it, this was clearly a return to their past lives. Although this wasn't a true past life, it was nothing more than a dream. Still, this experience was definitely real!
"I think it's more likely to be a dream as well!"
Yu Wei didn't feel that everything in this world was fake either. To her, the feeling of being together within the Sea Suppression Formation was real. It was something that she would forever remember.
"A dream is fine! A painting is fine! There's nothing different about it! "
Qi Heng chuckled, then turned to look at Ning and the others. His face turned solemn. "I think … I think I've found a way to return!"
"What way?"
Ning and the others were shocked. They looked at Qi Heng with faces full of surprise.
"If this is a painting, how can the person in the painting not be in the painting? Of course … it's to erase their existence from the painting! "
With a wave of his hand, the Blackmountain Seal appeared in his hand.
"Emperor East Mountain, the seal of the Netherworld Emperor, wields the authority of the Netherworld Kingdom. However, it's not mine! "
Using his fingers as a blade, he viciously chopped down on the Blackmountain Seal!
"Crack!"
The seal that Qi Heng had left on the Blackmountain Seal shattered. This caused Qi Heng's face to turn pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Qi …"
Seeing this, Ning let out a cry of surprise.
"It's fine! Everything is fake! This mouthful of blood … is also fake! "
Raising his head to look at the sky, a strange smile appeared on Qi Heng's face. "Long, long ago, in my past life, I've seen illusions that were even more realistic. Although this illusion was real, it seemed like someone had intentionally exposed the smell of ink! This hint is already very obvious! If you want to escape from the illusion, you have to see through reality and illusion. "
Turning his head to look at Ji Ning, Qi Heng smiled. "In this painting, even my existence is an illusion! Only by cutting away all the fake can you see the truth! "
"But … what if it's not a painting? What if it's real? Wouldn't you be committing suicide? "
Yu Wei frowned as she looked at Qi Heng. "Isn't this … too risky?"
"Of course I'm not committing suicide! I'm just cutting away everything that doesn't belong to me! Including … my current body, including all the memories I have here! "
He raised his hand, and the vast power of the earth condensed in his palm. "Cut away all the fake and see the truth!"
With a boom, Qi Heng … annihilated himself with a palm strike!
Everything vanished into thin air. It was as if … Qi Heng had never existed!
"He … succeeded? Or failed? "
Ning and the others looked at each other.
This question … unless he tried it himself, he would never be able to find the answer!
Should they commit suicide like Qi Heng? What if … his judgment was wrong?
