Chapter 352: Reverse Universe

【Reincarnator gs55512387, Reverse Universe effect activated】

【You have gained the Resurrection effect; all negative status effects on your body have been completely dispelled; Curse Word has been lifted; Edict has been lifted】

【Your energy, Wuji, has doubled under the effect of Reverse Universe; current energy: 64】

【You have met the qualifications to compete for multiple space titles; you will receive a notification before the start of the next cycle; please pay attention to your inbox】

……

Hongchen laughed wildly, the air churning continuously due to his voice, and the celestial phenomena in the sky also changed; massive cloud layers rolled incessantly, as if terrifying air currents were galloping through the sky.

With over 60 points of energy transformed by the effect, Hongchen was now no less than another supreme martial artist; he had already met the cultivation requirements for Di Shitian's 【Sacred Heart Art】 and 【Seven No-Boundaries】, and as long as he could obtain this cultivation technique from His Excellency later, he would be able to reach the peak in one step and become one of the few Title-level experts in the current space!

And... he was free!

He felt unprecedentedly comfortable; it was not just the Curse Word of the Worm, but also the restrictions placed on him by others that had dissipated along with his death and resurrection.

【Reverse Universe · Modified】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless · Extreme】

【Description: A miraculous medicine painstakingly researched by the Divine Physician, one of the "Three Gods" of the Wind and Cloud World, which became even more hidden and profound under the goddess's divine power】

【Effect 1: After consuming this medicine, the user will briefly gain a large amount of internal energy, which will dissipate over time】

【Effect 2: After using this medicine, the medicinal power accumulates in the body and activates when the user dies or is near death, with a certain probability of resurrecting the user and doubling their internal energy; after triggering this effect, the user will lose a large amount of lifespan (30-100 years)】

【Effect 3: The resurrection effect can be triggered multiple times, but the probability gradually decreases and the lifespan consumed gradually increases】

This was a rare medicinal formula Hongchen obtained from the Wind and Cloud World; he spent two B-rank Singularities to have it improved by the goddess, and finally spent quite a few resources to obtain the materials before it could be turned into the potion he consumed.

This was his trump card, hidden within his body, known to no one.

He did not rashly try to force himself into a near-death state in his Private Space for the sake of the energy-doubling effect, but instead kept this effect in reserve.

It was all to wait for a dangerous mission where he could voluntarily leave the team, so he could use this to quietly and secretly undo the restrictions on his body.

Now that he had achieved his wish and his strength had greatly increased, having previously consumed a Dragon Pellet, he had no need to worry about so-called lifespan exhaustion.

"Hey hey, that should be enough laughing, little brother~"

With a frivolous tone, the massive man seemed to want to pick his ear, but those thick fingers could not fit no matter what, so the other party gave up and teased himself in a bored manner.

Hongchen raised an eyebrow, looking at the drastically changed Tao Baibai.

"This is... split personality?"

"No, it looks more like some kind of possession or transformation ability."

Hongchen shook his head, somewhat disappointed; he had originally thought Tao Baibai would be the same type of martial arts fanatic as himself.

Hongchen reached out his left hand and beckoned; the precious blade that had dropped when he died shook a few times, flipped up, and landed in his hand. He wiped it with his hand, a cold blade light flashed, and he performed a flourish with his right hand before flicking it casually.

An icy blue blade aura instantly appeared from the blade body.

Pfft~ Boom!

Hundreds of meters of ground collapsed in an instant like tofu, then shattered due to the explosion of Wuji.

"Tao Baibai, you are also interested in that 【Limiter】, right? Do you want to join my ranks?"

Gojo Satoru felt the ambition of this red-haired man, which had expanded to the point of ignoring everyone; the other party barely even looked at him.

He laughed dumbly.

"Uchiha brother, your Chakra collection should be about done too, right? This guy really looks down on us~"

"Hmph, the light of a firefly..."

The Sharingan and Six Eyes focused on Hongchen simultaneously; one corner of Bai Cangshu's mouth curled upward in a frivolous smile, while the other curled downward, showing disdainful indifference.

Two arrogant people could least tolerate the arrogance of others.

Because of the passive ability of High-Speed Healing, Bai Cangshu's body did not have the 【Cursed Technique Burnout】 or the limitation of only being able to use Domain Expansion once a day; such limitations were essentially a manifestation of damage to the Cursed User's brain after the high load of the cursed technique circuit.

But Bai Cangshu's body could heal rapidly even if his brain was shattered, so this level of load was nothing at all.

He formed hand seals, looking at Hongchen.

"Domain Expansion, Infinite..."

Pfft!

A scorching blade aura, icy blade intent, and an indifferent yet cruel smile—Hongchen held the Snow Drink Blade tilted upward; the speed of his strike was so fast that the naked eye could no longer see it.

Gojo Satoru looked at the massive blade aura hovering an inch in front of his fingers, the surrounding air having completely turned into ice crystals and split to the sides; his pupils constricted.

The distance between that blade aura and himself was wrong; did the force contained in the other party's strike distort space?

Hum!

He disappeared with Instant Movement, followed by the massive blade aura sweeping across the ground, creating a chasm of several thousand meters.

Ring~

The blade energy roared; in an instant, Hongchen seemed to reveal hundreds of afterimages, striking from different angles, and the space between heaven and earth was filled with towering blade energy.

——

"Cough cough~ Pfft!"

Hua Xian's clothes were torn, and her beautiful body and face were covered in charred marks.

Green life energy flickered on her body; the range of the Worm's self-destruction just now was too exaggerated, and she had been caught in it. Fortunately, she was far enough away and only suffered from the shockwave, so it was not a serious injury.

But the cactus creations she used for monitoring were all destroyed, so she could not see the subsequent battle between the strangely risen Tao Baibai and the Worm.

However, she was terrified at this moment; she had never imagined that Hongchen would be killed, let alone killed by the Worm.

At this moment, a voice finally appeared in her mind; it was a type of ability similar to 【Telepathy】. Every Reincarnator who joined the 【Chaos Sage】 would have a certain cursed technique carved into their body by the 【Sage】, allowing everyone to communicate across spaces.

Of course, this cursed technique could be removed at the goddess's place, but choosing to remove the cursed technique meant betraying the 【Sage】, or even betraying His Excellency 【Fate Eternal】.

"Hongchen is dead?"

There was not much anger in the Sage's voice, but rather confusion.

"Yes, when he was in a fierce battle with Tao Baibai, the 【Black Water】 Worm deployed an unknown domain. When the domain was lifted, I saw a prompt that Hongchen had died, but Tao Baibai seemed to have been exempted from the domain's attack..."

While briefly reporting, the Flower Immortal took out a seed and threw it onto the ground; very quickly, a giant treant rose from the ground, hoisting the Flower Immortal onto its shoulder.

She was already prepared to retreat; regardless of the outcome of the battle between the Millennium Worm and Tao Baibai, with Hong Chen dead, she no longer had the confidence to participate.

"Flower Immortal, I am giving you a mission now."

The Flower Immortal was startled.

"I want you to find Hong Chen's corpse and bring it back, or at the very least, bring back his head."

The Flower Immortal was naturally a person of Linglong mind; she immediately realized that the Sage believed Hong Chen had faked his death, even though the Infinite Dimensional Space had clearly signaled his death.

Resurrection?!

Within the Infinite Dimensional Space, there were indeed a very small number of Special Items that could allow a user to resurrect after death, but they were all rare items with a high cost.

As the Flower Immortal's thoughts flickered, she hesitated and said,

"My strength is insufficient; even if Hong Chen has resurrected and betrayed us, I fear I would be powerless to..."

The Sage's voice suddenly became indifferent.

"Go, confirm whether Hong Chen is truly dead."

The Flower Immortal's body shuddered, and a powerful force instantly rewrote her will; the treant beneath her also changed direction, walking toward the place where Hong Chen had died.

"Hee hee, to defect to a guy like the Sage, you really are stupid, Flower Immortal~"

A giggling sound appeared from behind; the Flower Immortal was startled, and upon turning her head, she discovered that at some point, another person had appeared on the treant. The newcomer wore a black cloak, her face hidden within it, and her figure was petite.

Whoosh.

A heroic-looking young man with his eyes closed also Instant Moved onto the treant at this moment; a faint smile hung on his face as he spoke,

"Miss Yeban, the Lord's order seems to be for us to go and persuade 【Tatsumaki of Terror】 to join 【Zhua】, are we currently..."

The Heart Demon with the codename 【Yeban Sangeng】 saw that 【Daoqi Liang】 was still obsessing over that suicidal mission and said irritably,

"Daoqi Liang, there are two choices now."

"First, go find that Tatsumaki of Terror, who is perhaps even more terrifying than the??? that beat your boss Suzuki into a panicked retreat, and try to see what the other party's mood is like—whether she will pinch you into a ball or directly pinch you into powder."

"Then let's choose the second option, Miss Yeban..."

Daoqi Liang, who had been smiling the whole time, slightly reined in his smile; he possessed the Superpowers of 【Chao Ganzi】 and 【Instant Movement】, and almost nothing could escape his perception.

Therefore, 【Yeban Sangeng】, whose existence even he often could not detect, was one of the few people he respected. He could tell that the other party was not lying; Miss Yeban, who was deemed by the boss as a threat approaching the strongest of the former five, 【Qinze Keye】, was truly afraid of that 【Tatsumaki of Terror】.

Then, even as someone who loved a challenge, he should not face that kind of person.

The Heart Demon saw that Daoqi Liang was sensible, and the killing intent that had just ignited also eased somewhat. She sat motionless, but the Flower Immortal was now trembling all over, her face pale, and a large amount of water seeped from her hair and body, as if she were being soaked in water.

"Flower Immortal, would it be convenient to tell me where that guy, the Sage, is currently doing what mission?"

"As for me, I wanted to find that 【Tang Sanzang】 with Tao Baibai, but that guy disappeared after making contact with the Sage..."

Yeban Sangeng placed her head on the Flower Immortal's shoulder, gently tugging at the other's dripping wet hair, her voice very soft.

"It wouldn't be that the Sage killed that guy, would it? Tell me, if our prey is snatched, what should we do? Ah... how distressing!"

Squish!

Yeban Sangeng suddenly exerted force, tearing off the Flower Immortal's hair along with her scalp, but even with this excruciating pain, the Flower Immortal still trembled all over, unable to move.

"Tao... Tao Baibai is just ahead..."

In the Flower Immortal's field of vision at this moment, she was being soaked in a well full of corpses; that cold well water kept rising, about to drown her, but she could not use any of her abilities, despairing to the point of near suffocation.

Just hearing the other party mention teaming up with Tao Baibai, she still quickly spoke her Intelligence as if grabbing a straw to save her life.
