Chapter 148: Cultivating the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, a Massive Breakthrough!

Ye Chen began cultivating, while Hunyan transformed into a human shape and guarded beside him.

As he practiced the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, an exceedingly profound aura of foundation‑building manifested on his body.

Gradually, a Six Paths Reincarnation Disk appeared behind him, exuding a mysterious and sinister aura, and bearing enigmatic runes that roamed like dragons and snakes.

In the void, Ye Chen sat cross‑legged at the center of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk; behind him, six vortexes collapsed like black holes, and the six realms of the Six Paths began to gradually materialize behind him.

In the Hungry Ghost realm, green flames scorch the heavens; in the Asura realm, blood blades split the sky; in the Animal realm, myriad beasts fall silent—each rotation adds a dark golden fissure to his brow.

Qi and blood surged within him, as if they would erupt from his body at any moment, but just as they were about to burst, the power of Reincarnation twisted them into a spiral, and his bones emitted a bronze‑like thunderous clang.

When the Heavenly Dao turned, his left pupil reflected an inverted galaxy, and a palm thrust solidified into a hundred‑zhang river of time, yet these were not true rivers of time but ones forged by the mighty power of the Six Paths Reincarnation.

Countless withered bones of powerful beings floated in the river; with a light tap of his fingertip, three ancient great spirits awoke from death's slumber and forged a Heaven‑Opening Sword for him.

At the moment the Hell realm awakened, the Nine‑dark Abyss surged from beneath his feet, ten‑thousand evil souls' chains coiled and bit him, yet Ye Chen sneered and pinched, causing the chains to transform into blood‑colored thunder that pierced the Reincarnation Disk.

Karmic fire incinerated his flesh only for it to be reborn; each shattering and reformation added another layer of dark‑purple reincarnation markings to his skin—until he raised his hand to summon eighteen layers of Hell phantoms, crushing the entire void into fine dust.

It is unknown how long this state persisted, as his body continuously underwent burning and restoration.

Those were the fires of the Six Paths Reincarnation, burning away the filth on Ye Chen without acquiring karmic residue or staining cause and effect.

As his prowess grew, the impact of karma and cause‑and‑effect on Ye Chen became increasingly evident, yet with the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique's aid, he could reduce this influence to a minimum.

However, despite the Six Paths Reincarnation Tree's might, it cannot wholly eradicate the effects of cause‑and‑effect; after all, even a Celestial King cannot fully eliminate them.

If one wishes to eradicate them, perhaps only by ascending that ethereal void realm—Immortal Emperor! —can one possibly achieve complete removal.

To date, no sentient being has ever been reported to have cultivated to the Immortal Emperor realm, implying that perhaps no being has ever set foot in that realm.

After a long while, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and after doing so, he resumed practicing Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Tahuazizaidafa.

In terms of rank, Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Tahuazizaidafa certainly stands above the Six Paths Reincarnation Manual, for it is the fame‑making method of the Wild Heaven Emperor and truly the—Immortal Emperor's method!

Ye Chen and Hunyan accompanied each other, passing time together in the void.

During this period, the sentient beings on this planet never attacked them again; it seemed that after the Reincarnation Celestial King departed, they kept their distance.

Whether it was the Reincarnation Celestial King's doing or they sensed the aura of the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique on Ye Chen, in any case, from that day onward they never approached the place where Ye Chen cultivated.

Uncertain how much time passed, Ye Chen opened his eyes again; this time, his Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Tahuazizaidafa achieved a massive breakthrough—though not yet perfected, it was a great advancement for him.

After opening his eyes, he looked at Hunyan beside him, whose aura was now even more robust.

Ye Chen could sense that his aura had already surpassed God Transformation, reaching the Great Vehicle realm.

Ye Chen was not surprised by this change in Hunyan; after all, Hunyan had once been very powerful, so rather than a new cultivation, it was a restoration of his former strength.

After Ye Chen opened his eyes, Hunyan seemed to sense the awakening aura and also opened his eyes.

Hunyan opened his eyes, and Ye Chen asked, "How much time has passed now?"

"Since the day you began cultivating the method, eleven years have passed; the time remaining until your Heavenly Dao oath… is not much."

"No obstacle; I am ready to breakthrough, the realm I have been compressing for ages; this breakthrough should leap across several realms."

Ye Chen finished, and Hunyan nodded, indicating that he could begin at any time.

Seeing Hunyan nod, Ye Chen exhaled a breath of clear qi and then commenced his breakthrough.

As Ye Chen began his breakthrough, on the barren planet, fierce winds sliced like knives, tearing the cracked earth.

Ye Chen stood at the center of a ten‑thousand‑zhang chasm, nine layers of thunder clouds swirling like ink above his head; each fissure streamed dark‑purple calamity light, as if ancient gods and demons opened countless eyes to gaze upon this scorched earth abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

He stood shirtless, the patterns of the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique spreading from his spine to his chest, turning into mysterious runes under the thunder's illumination, coursing through his body; at this moment, the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique resonated with the Heavenly Tribulation!

"Truly worthy of being the fame‑making method of the Reincarnation Celestial King, so powerful that it draws the Heavenly Dao into resonance!"

At that moment, the Heavenly Tribulation descended; Ye Chen lifted his head, gazing at the falling tribulation, his eyes brimming with battle intent to the utmost.

The first level thunder tribulation fell, the sky splitting open a three‑thousand‑zhang gash, and the thunder solidified into the shape of an ancient war spear.

The spear tip was etched with annihilation runes, enveloping the crushing pressure of shattered stars as it plunged straight down.

Ye Chen spread his arms to the heavens, the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique evolving behind him—Hungry Ghost realm, Asura realm, Human realm…

They transformed into scale armor clinging to Ye Chen's body; at this moment, he seemed truly impervious to all laws.

"My Heavenly Tribulations are truly more terrifying each time."

Ye Chen said, looking at the tribulation, "Though terrifying, they are still within my capacity to handle."

At this moment, the thunder spear struck his scale armor, but the instant they met, the armor shattered and flew away.

By the second level thunder tribulation, the laws of heaven and earth were completely chaotic.

Deep within the scorched earth, seven skeletons cloaked in star‑woven robes emerged, each gripping a broken bronze sword, their steps causing the earth veins to quake.

When Hunyan saw the seven skeletons, his pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted loudly to Ye Chen, "Watch out!"

"That is a projection of a sword‑path incarnation's strong warrior!"

Ye Chen heard it, yet he did not retreat; the blood in his eyes now boiled like magma, raging fiercely!

They, as sword‑path incarnations, had their sword intent cut off by Heaven before it could disperse, now awakened by the tribulation clouds to become the Heavenly Dao's executioners.

Seeing this, Ye Chen decisively summoned the Taiji Creation Diagram, enveloping their sword intent; Hunyan, witnessing Ye Chen's action for the first time, showed an expression of disbelief.

Because, at this moment, Ye Chen was actually robbing the Heavenly Dao!

"To rob the Heavenly Dao—throughout history, you must be the first."

Hunyan, seeing this scene, felt both angry and amused.

At this moment, Ye Chen had successfully packaged their sword intent; he had not yet absorbed them, waiting until he passed the tribulation, after which he would fully absorb the sword intent and convert it into his own power.

Those strong warrior projections, once stripped of their sword intent, quickly disintegrated on their own; sword intent was their ultimate killing technique, so with it gone, they posed no deterrent to Ye Chen.

This tribulation should have been exceedingly difficult to overcome, yet who could have imagined Ye Chen would rob the Heavenly Dao?

At this very moment, Ye Chen's Heavenly Tribulation had only the final tribulation remaining.

Ye Chen looked up; even after enduring so many Heavenly Tribulations, his complexion couldn't help but change.
