Chapter 110: This Is the Only Path We Can Take

~7 min read 1,242 words

After a fierce battle, you killed the Xue Tianmo.

With the Xue Tianmo's power, it should belong to the class of the strongest where survival ability is the greatest and it is the hardest to kill.

The Xue Tianmo sowed countless Blood Seeds in the Blood-Painted Star Domain, possessing the Dripping Blood Rebirth ability.

But this special Shikong isolates everything outside; the laws here constantly change, so no matter how many Blood Seeds the Xue Tianmo plants, they are eroded by the ever‑shifting laws.

This realm can be called a tomb tailor‑made for the Xue Tianmo.

During your great battle with the Xue Tianmo, Ye Xue also broke through and successfully entered the ranks of the strongest.

Those who can reach here are all the strongest.

You glanced over: the new era has twenty‑seven strongest, while the old era has thirty‑nine strongest.

However, there are only nine Chaos Immortal Treasures.

What follows will surely erupt into an even more brutal blood war.

All are cultivators who stand at the pinnacle of the world; none could possibly retreat at the final moment.

Taking a step back is the beginning of an unstable Dao heart.

You, Ye Xue, and Yang Zu formed the most steadfast alliance and launched the final strike in the contest for the Chaos Immortal Treasures.

One after another, the strongest fell in the final contest.

Under the Blood Curse's scourge, the haze around the nine Chaos Immortal Treasures dissipated, revealing their true forms.

The nine artifacts differ in shape, and their auras are vastly distinct.

Your gaze is fixed tightly on one of the Immortal Treasures.

It is a bronze-colored mirror, its frame inlaid with six gems of different colors.

Faintly, you seem to see Xiao Ya Huan again.

From this mirror, you sense an extraordinary law.

According to Yang Zu, the fusion of the New World has not truly completed; someone must merge their body with an Immortal Treasure, transform the body into Dao, stabilize the order of the Two Realms, and repair the Heavenly Dao Defect.

The Law Power on the Bronze Mirror is one of the Heavenly Dao Rules that need to be completed.

"I will seize it!"

You and Yang Zu exchanged a word and charged toward the Bronze Mirror.

"Husband, I come to aid you."

Ye Xue follows by your side.

At the most critical moment, she firmly chose the path you must take.

"Be careful, I will seize another Immortal Treasure."

Yang Zu has her own goal; she chose another Immortal Treasure, avoiding a contest with you and preserving the friendship.

You and Ye Xue were surrounded.

Earlier you slashed the Xue Tianmo, your edge exposed; now you are undoubtedly targeted, and five strongest seek to combine forces to first kill you and Ye Xue.

Even though you and Ye Xue are new‑era strongest, with peerless strength, the opponents are also not weak, likewise standing at the world's summit as Peerless Heavenly Pride.

Facing five opponents, you and Ye Xue gradually cannot hold out.

Your eyes redden, ferocity showing, "First slaughter the weakest and then speak! Even if I die, I'll still pull the back!"

You and Ye Xue, united as husband and wife, begin a reckless counter‑attack, directing all strikes at a single strongest.

Allied for profit, hearts are unstable.

No one is willing to sacrifice their life to fulfill another's Dao fruit.

What you employ is merely the simplest stratagem, yet it can directly and effectively break the opponents' coalition.

Thus the situation falls into a stalemate.

The battles on the other eight fronts grow ever more intense.

If this war erupts in the Two Realms, the Star Realm and the Mundane World would both be left scarred.

"Husband, are you confident you can subdue that treasure in a short time?"

Ye Xue transmits a voice to your soul.

"Yes."

If you are given the chance to touch the Bronze Mirror, you can subdue it; you can feel it also longs for you!

Ye Xue says, "I'll hold them back; you first subdue the treasure, then come rescue me."

You have always felt that neither you nor Ye Xue regard the other as the entirety of your lives; the pride in your bones destined parts of you to be incompatible.

She has been proud all her life.

The summit you pursue is also the very endpoint she has spent her whole life striving to climb.

If it is destined that only one of you can ascend the mountain, what would you do?

In past years, you have discussed this question.

At that time she said, "Hmph! When the time comes I won't yield to you; we'll each rely on our own abilities!"

You said, "Then we shall wait and see."

You two rarely compromise for each other's pride, even competing over superiority in marital matters.

At this moment, the time foretold by the past has arrived.

The lifelong proud Ye Xue chose to abandon herself, merge into your life, and personally usher you toward the endpoint she has dreamed of.

You do not know what emotion Ye Xue harbored when she uttered that sentence.

Subconsciously you want to refuse.

"I know."

She spoke first, "You don't want to decide the outcome this way, but this is the only road we can take."

You want to refute, yet have no way to speak.

Just as Ye Xue said, this is the only path you can take.

If the stalemate continues, once the outcomes of the other eight battlefields are decided, they will inevitably further affect the contest for this battlefield.

"Hesitation is not your style."

Before you can say anything, Ye Xue lets out a wail, and a pair of dragon horns sprouts again on her head, while the previously broken dragon tail regrows.

This is not Ye Xue returning to the True Dragon form.

Rather, she burns her own body and spirit, and the ancestral dragon bloodline curse is also incinerated, causing her to revert once more to a Dragon Person shape.

By burning herself and losing her spirit, Ye Xue completely abandons the contest for the Chaos Immortal Treasure.

Once the bow is drawn there is no arrow to turn back; hesitating now would merely waste Ye Xue's intention, so you decide instantly and rush toward the Bronze Mirror.

Only by subduing the Chaos Immortal Treasure at the fastest speed can Ye Xue possibly be saved.

Your life has already left a regret.

You do not wish to leave another regret.

Ye Xue single‑handedly blocks five contenders, and you arrive before that Bronze Mirror, reaching out to grasp it.

In an instant, you feel the law embodied within the Bronze Mirror.

Its name—Reincarnation.

Because the New World has not yet constructed a complete Reincarnation Path, someone must take the Chaos Immortal Treasure to merge with the Dao and repair the Heavenly Dao's Reincarnation deficiency.

You wish for Xiao Ya Huan to be reborn among Mortal Dust, and completing the Reincarnation is an indispensable step.

Only now do you understand.

It turns out that what has always drawn you was not the already‑gone Xiao Ya Huan, but the obsession in your heart that caused the Chaos Immortal Treasure to choose you.

At this moment you no longer have the right to hesitate.

Whether for the already‑gone Xiao Ya Huan or to save the endangered Ye Xue, you have no choice but to merge your body with the Dao to transform the Reincarnation.
