Chapter 269: Killing Heaven

Reincarnation appears in the Present World, and the Heavenly Humans are shaken.

This is a monumental event unseen throughout the ages, triggering tremors in many quarters and causing winds to rise and clouds to surge.

But no sooner had one wave subsided than another rose.

"Heaven, it has vanished!"

Outside Great Li, within the Hundred Saints Academy—which exists as a state unto itself due to the Heavenly Humans stationed there—Zhu Zi, the man known as the First Saint who proposed to preserve Heavenly Principles and extinguish Human Desires, shouted in horror.

His voice caused the many students within the academy to tremble.

Heavenly Humans across the Present World one after another perceived this situation.

As Heavenly Human powerhouses, they are one with Heaven and Earth and can monitor at any moment what great disturbances are occurring within Heaven and Earth; this was true for the emergence of Reincarnation, and it is true for the disappearance of Heaven!

At this moment, with the exception of a few Heavenly Humans.

The other Heavenly Humans began to feel irrepressible joy.

They knew that Heaven was the first to undergo distortion and was also a massive source of Pollution. They themselves, these Heavenly Humans who are one with Heaven and Earth and thus obtain infinite power, have also been polluted to a greater or lesser extent.

But now, Heaven has vanished.

That monster coiled above the Nine Heavens, which had undergone distortion and infected the entire Heaven and Earth, is gone; it is simply a great piece of good news!

The next moment, they were again filled with terrified doubt.

Why did Heaven vanish?

Could it have been hunted down by some Terror?

No, if Heaven had died, there would absolutely be terrifying anomalies, perhaps even causing the entire Present World to overturn.

In their sensing, they did not perceive the death of Heaven, nor did they perceive any great battle occurring above the Nine Heavens; Heaven had simply, purely vanished, gone missing.

The Heavenly Humans shuddered.

Although it was only that monster that went missing, not the power it wielded or the Heaven and Earth Principles it governed, Heaven and Earth continued to operate in an orderly fashion, gradually sliding downward under that Weird power.

Even if the speed of the slide had slowed.

This matter was still too absurd, too Weird.

Because that monster occupied the vast majority of Heaven and Earth, equivalent to the main body of Heaven and Earth; even if all these Heavenly Humans and all living beings were added together, they could not compare to that monster.

What made them think even more was this.

First came the appearance of Reincarnation, and then Heaven went missing.

It was hard for them not to link the two together.

Could it be that the fallen, distorted Heaven clashed with the peerless powerhouse behind the scenes who opened Reincarnation, resulting in an accident? Or perhaps the two fought and battled outside of this Heaven and Earth?

Or perhaps, the fallen, distorted Heaven underwent Reincarnation?

Based on their understanding of Reincarnation, almost everyone had this thought arise. After all, when they realized Reincarnation had appeared, they wanted to use Reincarnation to wash away their own Pollution.

Could this be Heaven's instinctual self-rescue, a self-Reincarnation?

The Heavenly Humans felt this idea was somewhat absurd, yet also felt it was very possible; the time interval between the two events was too short, and they were not fools, so they could naturally make the connection.

Thinking this way, joy could not help but rise in their hearts.

Perhaps there is still hope for Heaven and Earth!

But the next moment, they were splashed with a bucket of cold water.

There was no other reason: that so-called World Truth still existed, and they, these poor wretches who were one with Heaven and Earth, were still being infected and distorted; it was just that because they lacked the close-range influence of that fallen, distorted Heaven, the speed of the fall and distortion had slowed down.

They had to once again face a Reality.

The true disaster did not originate from Heaven and Earth itself, but from the inexplicably descended Strange Calamity. As long as no one could stop this Calamity and purify that unspeakable Weird power, everything was merely a death struggle.

Therefore, could the suddenly appearing Reincarnation solve this matter?

Doubts could not help but rise in their hearts.

The next moment, they discovered that Heaven and Earth had undergone a change.

The Heaven and Earth Principles and Order Rules spread throughout the Present World were all pulsing, but this movement did not affect the order of the world's operation; it seemed as though these Heaven and Earth Principles and Order Rules were simply happy.

This is an anomaly!

The Heavenly Humans concluded in their hearts.

But what kind of anomaly is this? What level of anomaly could affect the entire Heaven and Earth, the entire Present World? Could it be that some Terror has broken through the Heavenly Human Limit, or that a peerless treasure has appeared?

Wait, this anomaly seems familiar...

Could this be a Dharma Aspect advancement anomaly?

Their expressions were strange.

The realm of World Truth.

Everything is so unspeakable and mad.

Everywhere is filled with murmurs, gibberish, and noise.

Everything here seems to reveal that only Chaos, madness, the Unknown, and the unspeakable are the Truth of the world.

Li Heng stood here, feeling this Pollution.

"Have you finished your tricks? Now it is my turn."

Looking at the unspeakable Great Terror before him, listening to the chaotic, meaningless noise, and feeling this Unknown Pollution from all directions, Li Heng felt somewhat impatient.

Normal people would also get annoyed after listening to noise for too long.

The unspeakable Great Terrors before him did not respond and continued to walk toward Li Heng. They were not living beings, nor were they even abstract entities of some concept; they could not be accurately defined.

Communication between living beings did not exist for them.

Nor was it necessary.

Li Heng shook his head, the status of Emperor Lord of the Underworld upon him, and delivered a punch with a light movement, erupting with incredible power, directly blasting apart the so-called unspeakable Great Terror closest to him.

When the Pollution cannot pollute him.

The so-called Terror can no longer be called Terror.

At the very least, this level of Pollution does not have the qualifications.

Suddenly, Li Heng frowned, feeling that something was wrong. He should not have used this method to blast apart these indescribable, constantly twisting and writhing, shapeless black shadows.

Yet he was not sure what he had done wrong.

So where exactly did he go wrong?

Li Heng shook his head; with insufficient evidence, he could not figure it out.

But fortunately, he was a cheater.

With a shift of his mind, he used Source Power to take this feeling of his as a guide, tracing back to the truth within it. A wisp of his consciousness instantly traversed the Void and arrived in the Present World.

This was a desolate mountain range in the Present World, uninhabited.

Li Heng frowned.

What did this place have to do with the feeling he just had?

Just as the thought fell, he was astonished to discover that the Heaven and Earth Principles and Order Rules of this desolate mountain range began to collapse, the space subsequently shattered, and finally, it returned to chaos.

What happened here?

He clearly had not seen this place suffer any external attack.

Unless...

He looked at another indescribable thing that had come before him and blasted it apart with another punch. He used Source Power to continue tracing, and his consciousness arrived at a lake in Reality.

The lake was not large, estimated to be only a few hundred miles across.

But at this moment, this lake, just like the desolate mountain range from before, had its Heaven and Earth Principles and Order Rules collapse, returning to chaos.

He had blasted apart these indescribable things.

And then a certain area in Reality would have its laws collapse?

Li Heng was astonished; why on earth was this?

Could it be that these indescribable things also symbolized a certain part of Heaven and Earth? Blasting these things apart would cause a certain area between Heaven and Earth to collapse? Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

This thought was somewhat absurd.

But it was highly likely to be Reality.

He shook his head; if this were really the case, he would have to change to another method. Otherwise, if he kept fighting, he was afraid he would even blast Heaven and Earth to pieces; then how would he break through to the Dharma Aspect?

Facing this pile of indescribable things attacking him.

Behind him, the Haohan Dari rose, illuminating this place with light.

The light of the Great Sun shone upon the chaos, Unknown, darkness, and indescribable things here; those indescribable things had their forms directly dispersed as soon as they entered the range of the Great Sun's light.

Li Heng also no longer felt that wrong sensation from before.

He used Source Power to trace again and did not find any abnormalities appearing in any part of the Present World, and he felt relieved in his heart. Sure enough, merely dispersing them would not cause the laws to collapse.

But why on earth was this?

If these indescribable things could really represent Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth would have fallen long ago; what would there be to save?

Wait!

He was startled in his heart, and a thought arose.

Perhaps this place really symbolized the World Truth, symbolizing the World Truth in the past. Before the mutation appeared and the Disaster descended, this place might have been the underlying domain of the world.

Everything here corresponded to a certain part of the Present World.

However, now, this place had been polluted and turned into these indescribable things, but it still possessed the characteristics of corresponding to a certain part of the Present World.

Starting from this idea, many things could be explained.

For example, why advancing to the Dharma Aspect now requires witnessing the so-called World Truth is because advancing to the Dharma Aspect originally required coming here to witness the essence of the world; it's just that in the past, this place was not polluted and had no danger, whereas now, coming here leads to being polluted.

These indescribable things also made him feel a sense of familiarity.

Just like the Great Terror that the Ye Family had summoned back then.

This might further explain why his Luck would change drastically when he previously intended to take action against these Great Terrors.

One reason is that Heaven and Earth have already developed a split personality.

The second is also because these Great Terrors are truly important to Heaven and Earth.

Although he had just blasted two of them apart and his Luck did not change, that might be related to the fact that Heaven had already been reincarnated, or it could be that he had become more powerful and his Luck was more stable.

Li Heng suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

It is truly difficult for this world to still be alive when it has rotted to this extent; no wonder those dynasties and those mighty figures never appeared—could it be that they realized the truth and just gave up?

At this moment, these indescribable things posed no threat to him.

They only had the fate of being dispersed when they walked into the light of the Great Sun.

With his current status as the Emperor Lord of the Netherworld, he was equivalent to a supreme existence in charge of the Life and Death Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth; a little bit of minor Pollution had no effect on him.

But he was not careless either.

He had not forgotten about that Promised Land.

There might still be some True Gospel existing here.

However, he waited for a long time, until his form began to fade and the process of breaking through to the Dharma Aspect was about to end, leaving this polluted World Truth domain, without seeing the so-called True Gospel appear.

Li Heng was somewhat puzzled.

Does this True Gospel look down on him?

He also wanted the Promised Land to descend; don't abandon me!

Unhappy, Li Heng took a step, intending to walk toward the depths of this World Truth domain.

However, the next moment, his consciousness was kicked out of this domain and returned to the Netherworld he had created.

And at this moment, he had already advanced to the Dharma Aspect!

"Heh, kicking me out of the room, are you!"

Li Heng sneered.

Just you wait, I've already memorized the coordinates of your location. Once I have a moment to spare, see if I don't come looking for you! I'll follow the network cable and hack you to death!

Beside him, the Shennü looked on, somewhat confused.

Why did this outsider seem so unhappy after advancing to the Dharma Aspect realm? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with his own Dharma Aspect? But this kind of Dharma Aspect was something that even Heaven and Earth could barely sustain.

If it were any more advanced.

You might destroy Heaven and Earth even faster than that Weird Disaster.

He wasn't satisfied with this?

Suddenly, she saw Li Heng smiling at her.

"You are Heaven, help me broadcast a message to the World, won't you?"

And so.

An indifferent voice resounded throughout Heaven and Earth.

"Heaven has reincarnated. Find him, kill him."
