The pearl the woman held was entwined with chaotic energy, with rivers of stars swirling inside, forming its own world. That was the Chaos Pearl. Although it was not exactly the same as when Long Chen obtained it, their auras were identical.
When Great Brahma saw the Chaos Pearl, his expression changed instantly. He opened his large hand, and the entire world was instantly imprisoned.
"Boom!" However,
he was still a step too slow. The woman rushed to crush the Chaos Pearl first, and with a thunderous explosion, the world they lived in was shattered into nothingness by the terrifying power of the Chaos Pearl.
The woman was instantly reduced to dust, but the Great Brahma was not dead. His face twisted like a ghost, his whole body translucent, as if he might dissipate at any moment.
The Chaos Pearl exploded, but the core part was preserved. When he saw the core, Long Chen's heart raced wildly. He immediately recognized it as the Chaos Pearl he had obtained in the Jiuli Secret Realm. When Great Brahma saw the Chaos Pearl, he grabbed it swiftly.
"Boom!"
One of his palms was instantly pierced by the Chaos Pearl. His body trembled violently, cracking all over, nearly shattering.
The Chaos Pearl pierced through Great Brahma's palm, breaking through the spatial barrier and vanishing in an instant. Great Brahma let out a thunderous roar.
He punched through the void, his figure vanishing. To Long Chen's shock, the Great Brahma Heaven had already lost only a trace of his primordial spirit, and now, having withstood the Chaos Pearl's strike, it still had the ability to shatter the void and escape.
Suddenly, Long Chen's vision went black. He immediately saw the Great Brahma Heaven's sharp claws pierce through a woman's chest.
The scene shifted, and a purple-haired woman stood in the void, her head soaring into the sky, blood staining the sky red.
"Puff puff puff...
The images before Long Chen's eyes kept spinning. He saw the Dan Emperor constantly reincarnated, constantly being killed. With each reincarnation, the Dan Emperor's appearance changed, and the world he was reborn in was different.
She appeared in various roles: human, spirit, blood, demon, demon, and even several times born in the underworld. But no matter what she reincarnated as or where she was born, she would ultimately be found and ruthlessly killed by the Great Brahma Heaven.
Watching the Dan Emperor being repeatedly killed, Long Chen's murderous intent surged uncontrollably. He wanted to help, but was simply unable to do so.
Long Chen couldn't see the process of the Dan Emperor's reincarnation; he could only see the fleeting moment of her death. In that image, apart from the Great Brahma Heaven and the Dan Emperor, everything else was blurry, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Every time the Dan Emperor died, Long Chen noticed that his soul and will weakened somewhat. After five hundred reincarnations, when the Dan Emperor was killed by the Great Brahma Heaven, his anger was gone—only terror.
Long Chen knew that after so many cycles, after each cycle, the Dan Emperor's memories would be partially lost, and her will for revenge would weaken. After five hundred cycles, she had forgotten who Great Brahma was, nor her own mission.
After the Great Brahma Heaven had killed the Dan Emperor five hundred times in a row, Long Chen saw that his figure had completely blurred, turning into a ball of light, making his appearance impossible to see clearly.
Clearly, the Great Brahma Heaven had no time to rest or recover in order to hunt down the reincarnated Dan Emperor. After Dan Di's 501st reincarnation, the ones who killed him were no longer the Great Brahma but a group of masked individuals.
"Qizong"
When Long Chen saw the mask, he gritted his teeth. He hadn't expected that the Qizong was actually a henchman of the Great Brahma Heaven, acting on Brahma Heaven's behalf to continue hunting the Dan Emperor in the cycle of reincarnation.
Afterwards, after the Qizong hunted down Dan Di for a hundred lifetimes, everything began to fall into chaos. Sometimes Dan Di was killed by demons, sometimes by great demons, and Long Chen even witnessed Shi Ling slay Dan Di.
Since then, Dan seemed to be cursed by misfortune, always killed on her rise, and those who killed her came from all races, seemingly breaking free from the control of the Great Brahma Heaven.
After a lifetime of reincarnation, Long Chen finally witnessed the final scene: Yu Qingxuan had fallen. At that moment, Long Chen was certain that Yu Qingxuan was the Dan Emperor after a thousand lifetimes. The current Yu Qingxuan looked completely different from the Dan Emperor, with even different soul fluctuations and even a different personality.
"A thousand lifetimes of reincarnation, all to awaken you in the mortal world."
In Long Chen's mind, the words Yu Qingxuan had said echoed back then. His heart raced wildly. She said that every time she died before his eyes, did he also experience a thousand lifetimes of reincarnation?
"She is the reincarnation of the Pill Emperor, so who am I?" Long Chen's heart pounded wildly.
"You are him, but you are not him..." Long Chen suddenly remembered that the Dan Emperor had once said this strange thing to him.
"Who exactly am I?"
Long Chen felt like he was going mad. Endless rage had nowhere to vent, and his killing intent erupted toward whom. Endless flames surged around him, and Long Chen felt as if he was about to explode and die.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen was immersed in his own world. To the outside, Long Chen was facing the Dan Ancestor statue, his face twisted, the blue lotus behind him burning wildly, the raging fire burning a huge hole in the heavens.
On the blue lotus, endless runes converged, chains of order continuously merged, like billions of streams merging, ultimately forming a chain spanning ten thousand miles.
"Rumble rumble... "Ten-thousand-mile chains hang upside down from the sky, the chains tremble, myriad paths wail, the universe howls, and the whole world trembles in fear."
Lu Chengkong, Yu Qingxuan, and the Dan Institute disciples were all terrified. What Yu Qingxuan didn't know was that just as the statue was about to awaken her memories, Long Chen blocked it. Long Chen saw the pain of her thousand lifetimes of reincarnation and was instantly furious.
The angrier Long Chen became, the more excited the green lotus behind him became, and the lotus eventually merged into the chain of order.
"Crack, crack, crack... When
the lotus disappeared, the chain trembled, and endless runes converged, forming immortal scripts. When the immortal scripts appeared, space began to crack. At that moment, Lu Chengkong was stunned, completely at a loss for what to do.
The disturbance at the Alchemy Institute had already affected the entire academy. Everyone flocked to the academy, and when people saw this terrifying phenomenon, they were all stunned.
Especially the academy disciples, who looked at the chain of order hanging upside down in the clouds, feeling as if their souls were about to be crushed by it.
"Dean, it seems Long Chen has a problem. Please, save him!" Yu Qingxuan saw Bai Letian and hurriedly said.
"Hurry and fetch the Hall Master." Bai Letian's expression also changed as he spoke to Bai Xiaole.
Seeing Bai Letian so serious, Bai Xiaole didn't dare delay and vanished in an instant. Soon, the void split open and the figure of the Hall Master appeared.
The moment he appeared, his pupils contracted as he formed hand seals, and vast energy and blood surged into the sky.
"Buzz!"
A black giant dragon rapidly wrapped around Long Chen's position, wrapping him along with the Chain of Order behind him.
When the black dragon summoned by the Hall Master appeared, the terrifying pressure was instantly reduced by ninety percent. Just as people were about to catch their breath, the chanting of scriptures, filled with endless killing and destruction, rang out.
