Undying Life

Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Blasting the Reincarnation Passage

Tianlai and Zhong Shan locked eyes.

"Capture him!" Tianlai commanded the four generals beside him.

"Yes!"

With their orders received, the four generals shot towards Changjing with blinding speed, each moving as swiftly as the legendary Ye Qingcheng once did. In an instant, they reached the transparent wall.

Each of the four generals drew a large sword.

"Roar!"

With a unified roar, they slashed open a passage through the transparent wall formed by the Great Luo Zhou Heavenly Star Formation and forcefully charged through.

From the entrance of the Immortal Hall, Zhong Shan's pupils contracted.

Impressive!

These were the strong individuals the Old Demon of Myriad Demons had mentioned? Stronger than the Old Demon himself? If that was true, relying on the injured Nangong Sheng and the not-so-powerful ministers would be suicidal!

Realizing the disparity in strength, Zhong Shan quickly shot towards the distance.

"He's coming to us on his own?" Tianlai remarked in surprise from the mountain peak.

Zhong Shan moved rapidly, soon reaching the vicinity of the four generals. However, he did not engage them directly but instead dashed outwards, away from Changjing.

Soon, Zhong Shan arrived outside Changjing and faced Tianlai and Tian Xiaozi.

Tian Xiaozi warned Tianlai, "Be careful. We're near Changjing. He is the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty and can draw power from the entire Great Zheng."

Tianlai nodded, then addressed Zhong Shan, "You came out alone. Are you surrendering already?"

"I just don't want to mess up my capital while killing you," Zhong Shan said coldly.

"Hahaha..." Tianlai laughed disdainfully.

"Four generals, capture him!" Tianlai ordered again.

"Nangong Sheng, activate the Great Luo Zhou Heavenly Star Formation and protect Changjing!" Zhong Shan commanded.

As the four generals lunged towards Zhong Shan, Nangong Sheng swiftly activated the powerful formation. This time, the full might of the Great Luo Zhou Heavenly Star Formation was unleashed, with endless starlight descending from the sky, forming a massive light shield that enveloped Changjing.

Zhong Shan continued to speed towards the distance, with the four generals narrowly missing him each time.

"Such incredible speed!" Tianlai remarked with a hint of surprise.

The six of them pursued Zhong Shan, stopping only when they reached a mist-filled valley.

"Why did you stop running?" Tianlai sneered.

"I don't want to waste words with you. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Zhong Shan retorted coldly.

"Oh?" Tianlai responded with disdain.

"Reincarnation Passage, open~~~!"

"Whoosh!"

The surroundings suddenly changed, and a terrifying aura emanated from all directions.

Zhong Shan immediately activated the powerful Reincarnation Passage.

With his advancement to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, Zhong Shan had a profound understanding of the Reincarnation Passage's workings. This current Reincarnation Passage was hundreds of times stronger than before.

But who were these people? The Old Demon of Myriad Demons had said they were of his level. He was a peerless villain who had fought against Emperor Xuan Sha for two days and nights. Though neither had fought with their full strength, it was evident that these people were formidable. Against such powerful opponents, not using a strong move from the start would be extremely dangerous.

The terrifying Reincarnation Passage enveloped everyone in a sudden blue light. A powerful pulling force acted on everyone, pulling, compressing, and colliding, tearing apart not only their flesh but also their souls.

"We're inside the Reincarnation Passage?" Tianlai exclaimed in shock.

Everyone looked up. Indeed, above them, a massive circular exit could be seen, sucking in mountains and lands from the outside world. However, anything entering the passage was immediately torn to shreds by the powerful pulling force.

The immense pressure was unbearable, even for the four generals.

"Get out!" the four generals roared, flying upwards with all their might.

Despite being peerless warriors, they struggled to withstand the Reincarnation Passage. Blue veins bulged on their foreheads as they pushed upwards.

Zhong Shan's eyes narrowed.

"Reincarnation Passage!" Zhong Shan shouted coldly. The strange airflow within the passage began to rotate even faster, and the terrifying force increased.

"Roar!"

The four generals roared in struggle, their expanding muscles tearing with the strain. Instead of ascending, they were being pulled downwards, the tearing force intensifying the lower they went.

Fear etched on their faces, the four generals continued to desperately fly upwards, exerting all their strength.

Zhong Shan also began to sweat. These people were incredibly resilient.

Tian Xiaozi, now covered in countless cracks and bloodied, was being lifted by a massive force. A faint black light emanated from his body.

"Boom!"

A pair of giant wings unfolded. They were Kunpeng's wings, which had been hidden within Tian Xiaozi's clothes. The wings, expanding to ten zhang, lifted Tian Xiaozi upwards inch by inch.

It turned out Kunpeng had been with Tian Xiaozi all along. Under the immense force, Tian Xiaozi ascended, but his face was already unrecognizable from the tearing.

Zhong Shan's mastery over the Reincarnation Passage was terrifying. This wasn't just opening the entrance; it was transforming the surrounding environment into the interior of the passage, with its horrifying tearing force.

This was the true terror of the Reincarnation Passage: the deeper one went, the greater the force. Even an immortal would be doomed!

"Ah~~~!" Tian Xiaozi let out a skyward howl filled with unwillingness, resentment, and defiance. His rage and frustration were palpable.

"Boom!"

Tian Xiaozi suddenly exploded into a blood mist.

The Reincarnation Passage was too terrifying.

"Whoosh!"

Without the burden of Tian Xiaozi, Kunpeng flapped its wings and, filled with fear, flew upwards, escaping with its body covered in cracks.

Kunpeng, a powerful divine beast, became the first to escape Zhong Shan's Reincarnation Passage.

"Ah!" One of the four generals, the weakest among them, could no longer hold on and was sucked into the depths, exploding instantly. Their weapons had long been ground to dust within the passage.

Tianlai, though terrified, managed to hold on. Unlike the others, he wasn't sinking.

The terrifying force of the Reincarnation Passage continued to act on the remaining combatants, testing their limits. The chaotic scene, filled with the blue glow and the deafening roars of the struggling warriors, demonstrated the true might of Zhong Shan's power.

Tianlai's eyes, though filled with fear, also burned with determination. His unique position allowed him to observe and perhaps understand the workings of the passage better than the others. As he maintained his position, he continued to search for a way to counter or escape the deadly force that threatened to consume them all.

The terrifying force of the Reincarnation Passage enveloped everyone, pulling and tearing at their bodies and souls. Tianlai, drenched in sweat, looked at Zhong Shan and extended his right hand, which began to emit a yellow light, forming a glove adorned with ancient runes.

With a fierce look in his eyes, Tianlai punched the air with immense power, his body slightly sinking as he redirected his strength. The punch, filled with violent energy, disrupted the very rules and laws around it.

"Break~~~!"

The punch produced no visible light, but Zhong Shan felt a chaotic disturbance in the rules and laws of the Reincarnation Passage.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"Boom~~~!"

The force of the punch caused the Reincarnation Passage to crack and shatter, leading to a massive explosion. Zhong Shan's face turned pale as the passage disintegrated, leaving a gigantic black hole in its wake.

The black hole now contained only four people: Zhong Shan, Tianlai, and two of Tianlai's subordinates. Both sides stared at each other with lingering fear.

Zhong Shan, pale and shocked, looked at the glove on Tianlai's hand. What kind of glove was this, capable of breaking the Reincarnation Passage? The punch had disrupted the infinite rules and laws within the passage, causing it to explode.

Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes, observing the three remaining formidable opponents. Tianlai's two subordinates were equally astonished, having seen their comrades pulverized by the Reincarnation Passage.

Tianlai, too, was shocked. He had underestimated Zhong Shan, assuming him to be merely a strong warrior from a small world. Even if Zhong Shan was at the twelfth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, Tianlai hadn't expected such a display of power.

Tianlai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, realizing that without his magical artifact, the glove, his subordinates would have been shredded by the Reincarnation Passage.

"Reincarnation Passage? Are you a disciple of the Reincarnation Sage? You're not a disciple of the Yang World Tian family master?" Tianlai asked coldly.

"Great Immortal Artifact?" Zhong Shan asked, eyeing the glove on Tianlai's hand.

"Good insight. Since you're a disciple of the Reincarnation Sage, tell me where the 'Heaven Order' is, or else..." Tianlai's voice trailed off menacingly.

Before he could finish, a large net appeared from all directions, enclosing Zhong Shan, Tianlai, and the others within it.

Tianlai's face twisted into a sinister smile, indicating that he had planned a counter-attack. "Even if you're a disciple of the Reincarnation Sage, you won't escape my Heavenly Net," Tianlai said angrily. He flew out of the spherical net, which now trapped Zhong Shan like a cage.

However, Tianlai's smile faded when he saw Zhong Shan emerge from the net as if unaffected. Zhong Shan didn't look as if he had escaped easily; the effort to open the Reincarnation Passage had taken its toll. Facing Tianlai, who seemed almost as powerful as the ancient gods, along with two strong subordinates and a formidable artifact, was no easy task.

The Great Immortal Artifact was indeed a powerful object.

Zhong Shan and Tianlai stared each other down, the tension palpable. Zhong Shan's mind raced as he considered his next move against such formidable opponents, realizing that the battle was far from over.
