Chapter 179: The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art reaches mastery, reward—a Star Map!

In an instant, the aura on Ye Fan's body climbed to its peak, and his powerful strength spilled out like a surging tide, throwing the surrounding space into utter chaos!

Every shift of his gaze seemed capable of seeing through the life and death reincarnation of all things in the world!

And after the two of them activated their Reincarnation Eyes, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth began to fall into disorder!

The originally azure sky was instantly shrouded in darkness, and countless stars flickered with eerie light, trembling under the gaze of this power of Reincarnation!

The earth also began to shake violently; mountains crumbled, rivers flowed backward, and the entire world teetered on the brink of collapse before this terrifying power!

"Reincarnation Prison Light!"

Lin Potian launched his attack first. Two purple rays of light shot from his Reincarnation Eyes; the light was like a materialized blade, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth, whistling toward Ye Fan!

Wherever the light passed, a long black tunnel formed, and from within the tunnel came a hair-raising roar, as if a demon imprisoned in another dimension were howling!

"It's the same; I know this move too! Reincarnation Prison Light!"

Ye Fan did not show the slightest weakness. Two purple rays of light likewise shot from his Reincarnation Eyes, colliding head-on with Lin Potian's attack!

In a split second, a deafening roar erupted between heaven and earth, as if it were the boom of a cosmic big bang!

At the center where the two rays collided, a massive energy vortex formed. The vortex contained endless power of Reincarnation, dragging everything nearby into it. Whether it was mountain peaks or giant boulders, or even the howling gale, everything was instantly shredded in this vortex and turned into dust!

Furthermore, the energy vortex continued to expand, spreading out in all directions!

Wherever it reached, space collapsed one after another like a shattered mirror, and time also fell into chaos!

The light and shadows of the two men's pasts, presents, and futures flickered and intertwined within it, as they were caught in the turbulence of space-time!

This entire world was dragged into an apocalyptic catastrophe by the clash of these Reincarnation Eye techniques, and everything became fragile and weak before this terrifying power!

In this duel that caused the heavens and earth to lose their color, the aftershocks of the Reincarnation Eye technique clash had not yet settled when the two quickly switched to a contest of arts, shouting in unison:

"Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art!"

Instantly, Ye Fan's body surged with Immortal Power like a raging, angry sea, pushing the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art to its limit. Every time he swung his arms, illusory gates of the Six Paths would appear and disappear, gushing forth endless power of laws, transforming into sharp attacks that carried the momentum to destroy the heavens and earth as they crushed madly toward Lin Potian!

Lin Potian also dared not be the slightest bit lax, exerting his full strength to perform the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art. Six gates likewise appeared around his body, but every time he blocked Ye Fan's attacks, he was shaken until his blood and Qi surged!

But Lin Potian did not fall into a desperate situation because of this; his Immortal Divine Power played a key role in this intense battle. It was far more powerful than Ye Fan's pure Immortal Power, like an ancient, surging divine river containing endless energy!

Whenever Ye Fan's attacks struck like a landslide or a tidal wave, although Lin Potian was shaken and forced to retreat repeatedly, he relied on this powerful Immortal Divine Power to struggle and hold on, turning danger into safety time and again.

"If I only compete with this art, I am absolutely no match. Senior Ye Fan's comprehension and application of the art have reached the pinnacle of perfection; every move and every stance contains a profound understanding of the supreme principles of heaven and earth. His attacks are like a surging river, continuous and unending!"

Lin Potian retreated, pondering in his heart that if he used other means, he should have a ninety percent chance of winning, but if he only competed in the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, his chance of winning was not even ten percent!

Unless...

"Fighting me, yet you dare to be distracted?"

Ye Fan roared and took a step forward!

Seeing this, Lin Potian understood in his heart that blindly defending was by no means a long-term strategy; he had to find an opportunity to counterattack!

"Then I will find an opportunity for sudden enlightenment through battle; perhaps there is still a one-percent chance of winning!"

Lin Potian's mind raced, and he immediately made a decision, at once circulating his Immortal Divine Power to push the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art to the limit of what he could currently exert!

"Merge!"

His hands quickly formed seals, and he muttered incantations. The six gates around his body shone with brilliant light, and the power of Reincarnation pouring out from them merged perfectly with his Immortal Divine Power, doubling its might!

"Go!"

Lin Potian seized the moment, let out a loud shout, and compressed the merged power into a brilliant ray of light, shooting it toward Ye Fan!

The speed was so fast that Ye Fan's expression tightened; if he did not defend against this attack, perhaps there would be no 'perhaps' left.

Immediately, Ye Fan quickly mobilized all his Immortal Power, condensing a sturdy defensive barrier to protect himself within it.

Boom!

The light struck the defensive barrier, erupting with a deafening roar, and the powerful shockwave of force spread outward in all directions with the two of them at the center!

Ye Fan was sent flying backward by the blast, and the surrounding space formed giant black holes under the impact of this power, swallowing everything nearby!

A single strike created countless black holes!

In this intense confrontation, Lin Potian and Ye Fan both gave their all, their figures appearing and disappearing amidst the interweaving of light and energy!

The sun, moon, and stars all lost their color before this terrifying power.

Although Lin Potian struggled to hold on by relying on his Immortal Divine Power, he remained at a disadvantage when facing Ye Fan's masterful Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art...

Suddenly:

During an intense collision, Lin Potian was sent flying by Ye Fan's power, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string!

Yet, golden light spilled out all over his body!

Lin Potian only felt that everything around him had come to a standstill.

Time no longer flowed, space solidified, and only he remained, immersed in a state that was mysterious and profound.

In his mind, images of the Six Paths of Reincarnation flashed continuously: birth, old age, sickness, death, the suffering of being separated from loved ones, the suffering of not getting what one wants—these worldly miseries and the cycle of life and death surged toward him like a violent tide.

He also saw countless living beings struggling and drifting in the cycle of Reincarnation.

He saw the helplessness and resilience of weak lives within the cycle.

He saw the ruthlessness of powerful existences who attempted to break the cycle only to be devoured in the end!

In these endless images, Lin Potian continued to sink, as if he had captured a trace of the true meaning of Reincarnation.

At this moment, brilliant light erupted from Lin Potian's entire body, and an aura that transcended the mundane radiated from within him!

Around his body, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation no longer surged chaotically, but rotated with regularity, forming a massive Samsara Disk!

Within the disk, yin and yang alternated, and life and death revolved!

"Good lad, you have achieved mastery, and once you break through to the Great Emperor level, you will be complete!"

Seeing this scene, a trace of gratification flashed in Ye Fan's eyes; he slowly withdrew the Immortal Power from his body and stood quietly to the side, waiting.

"What is that?"

Deep within Lin Potian's soul, an ancient gate slowly opened, leaving him astonished.

Immediately, a majestic power surged out from within, deeply merging with his soul!

Outside, Lin Potian's body floated up involuntarily, seven-colored light blooming from his entire being!

……

Several days later, Lin Potian suddenly opened his eyes; within his pupils, the pattern of the Six Paths Reincarnation appeared and disappeared, and he murmured calmly, "It is perfected."

Just by standing there, Lin Potian could clearly perceive that he had established a wondrous connection with the heaven, earth, and all things around him; the life and death reincarnation of all things in the world seemed to be under his control.

At the same time, as Lin Potian opened his eyes, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed color!

The originally shattered firmament healed rapidly, and the clouds churned, forming a massive Six Paths Reincarnation pattern that shrouded the entire heaven and earth within it!

The endless power of laws surged like a raging tide, crazily gathering toward Lin Potian, forming a huge energy vortex around him; within the vortex, six illusory portals appeared and disappeared, each portal emitting a chilling aura!

"Samsara Disk—condense!"

At this moment, Lin Potian's body radiated an aura that transcended the mortal world; he whispered, gently raised his hand, and a jade disk emitting a dim light appeared in his palm, with runes flickering on the disk, interpreting the birth, death, and reincarnation of all things in the universe!

With a gentle wave, the Samsara Disk flew out with the momentum to destroy heaven and earth; wherever it passed, space collapsed, stars fell, and all things were swept into the endless reincarnation!

The Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art is perfected!

Only one final step remains to reach the state of completion—stepping into the Great Emperor level cultivation!

Lin Potian's aura was like an abyss or the sea, the Samsara Disk suspended in his palm, the dim light it emitted reflecting on his face; he looked at Ye Fan with burning eyes, his voice steady yet carrying a hint of irrepressible excitement:

"Senior, shall we still fight?"

A broad-minded smile bloomed on Ye Fan's face, and he shook his head gently, sighing with emotion:

"No more fighting. You have now perfected the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art; although I am at completion, your Immortal Power is strange, and your strength has far surpassed mine. I am no longer your match."

"Why bring humiliation upon myself?"

As he spoke, the Immortal Power around Ye Fan slowly receded, his robes fluttered, and his whole person returned to ordinariness, yet it revealed a composure born from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Congratulations, Fifth Pass, passed!"

Ye Fan paused, his voice suddenly rising!

The space that was still churning with endless power of laws shook violently, and immediately after, a mysterious and ancient golden pillar of light crashed down from above the nine heavens, directly shrouding Lin Potian!

Within this golden pillar of light, Lin Potian only felt his soul being gently stroked by a pair of invisible hands; all fatigue and pain dissipated instantly, replaced by an unprecedented clarity!

At the same time, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some mysterious power and began to rotate crazily around Lin Potian!

Above the firmament that had shattered and then healed, countless stars flickered with strange light, and their trajectories began to change subtly, gradually converging into a huge star map!

And beneath Lin Potian's feet, the earth also began to undergo earth-shaking changes. The originally cracked mountains and rivers healed rapidly and continued to rise; atop the peaks, various strange spiritual objects broke through the soil, blooming with five-colored light!

Rivers surged endlessly, the river water containing rich spiritual energy; wherever it passed, all things revived, full of vitality.

"This... what is going on?" Lin Potian was full of shock; he had never seen such a strange scene.

Ye Fan looked up at all of this, his eyes full of gratification and emotion: "This is the perfected Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art; I demonstrated it for you to see. Additionally, that star map is the reward for this Fifth Pass. You may stay here for a thousand years to contemplate it well."

After speaking, this clone seemed to have reached its limit; Ye Fan wore a smile, and together with that black hand, he dissipated.

"Senior!"

Lin Potian still wanted to ask something, but there was no longer an opportunity; he immediately looked up at the huge star map formed by the gathering of stars, only feeling a vast and mysterious power rushing toward his face, as if it wanted to sweep his consciousness into the endless depths of the universe!

"Hoo..."

Lin Potian took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and immersed his entire mind into it, exploring the mysteries hidden behind this star map.

In an instant, his consciousness seemed to have left his body, shuttling between the vast and boundless Star Galaxy, with countless stars flickering and jumping beside him!

In this sea of stars, Lin Potian felt the distortion and fusion of time and space, and saw the entire process of a star from birth to destruction!

When the star was born, a huge energy erupted, its light illuminating the dark corners of the universe; and at the end of its life, the star collapsed, triggering an earth-shattering explosion, the released energy enough to destroy everything around it, yet gradually nurturing new life within the wreckage of the explosion...

"Is this the origin of all things?"

As his understanding of the star map deepened, Lin Potian seemed to have discovered something...

And during this long process of contemplation, Lin Potian's soul was constantly baptized by the power of the star map, becoming increasingly powerful, as if able to resonate with the stars. Those cultivation problems that once troubled him were also solved at this moment...

He felt as if he were a key, gradually opening a door leading to the ultimate mysteries of the universe!
