Chapter 682: Nine-Life Resentful Woman

"There is a saying that the Emperor's seat rotates, and this year it comes to my house. You have been the Reincarnation Dao Lord long enough; it is time to yield to someone capable." Li Heng spoke with a light laugh, activating his methods to directly shake the foundations of Diluo's position as Reincarnation Dao Lord.

The seizure of power happened in an instant.

In a flash, Diluo had no power to resist, instantly falling from the position of Reincarnation Dao Lord, no longer possessing the Reincarnation Authority from just a moment ago, and even less able to invoke the Great Void Power.

Diluo's face turned deathly pale.

He had no time to think, turning and fleeing, determined to escape the entire Reincarnation Era and run beyond the reach of the Reincarnation's radiation. No one knew better than he how terrifying this Reincarnation he had personally crafted was, and he had been utterly defeated!

"Fellow Daoist Diluo, why leave so quickly?"

Diluo had instantly escaped the Reincarnation Era, but the next moment, a person stood before him. It was Li Heng, looking at him with a beaming smile, yet appearing like a grim reaper claiming a life.

He still paid no heed, changing direction to flee, and utilized a terrifying secret art, increasing his escape speed countless times, far exceeding the limits of this realm.

Yet the next moment, he was blocked again.

Li Heng stood before the fleeing Diluo and spoke once more.

"Fellow Daoist Diluo, this position of yours as Reincarnation Dao Lord is truly useful; as long as one is within the radiation range of the Reincarnation, one can arrive instantly—it could even be described as being omnipresent."

"Regarding this point, I really must thank you."

He looked at Diluo with great sincerity, but Diluo ignored his goodwill, continuing to change direction to flee for his life, refusing to abandon even the slightest hope of escape.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow; was he really struggling this desperately?

Could it be...

He mobilized the Reincarnation Authority he had just obtained, and as his perception expanded to the Reincarnation Era and even to multiple surrounding eras, he instantly sensed a powerful aura approaching.

Could this be the helper Diluo had summoned?

This was getting interesting.

He continued to pursue in the direction Diluo had left, but this time he controlled his speed, trailing behind unhurriedly—not so far that Diluo could escape completely, nor so close that Diluo would fall into despair and fight him to the death.

He wanted to see exactly who this helper was.

At this moment, Diluo was ecstatic.

He sensed a powerful resentment approaching his direction; it was clearly the helper he had summoned, the Resentful Woman. Although she was arriving a bit late, as long as he could successfully rendezvous with her, he could save his life.

However, at this critical moment.

Li Heng appeared before him once again, sealing off all directions and every dimension of time and space, leaving him with nowhere to run; he was trapped inside a cage.

Diluo's heart instantly turned cold.

"You could have trapped me from the very beginning!"

He looked at Li Heng and spoke.

He had thought that even if Li Heng seized the position of Reincarnation Dao Lord, he would be unable to exert the Reincarnation's immense power due to lack of familiarity, but now it seemed he himself had been the naive one.

"You are right, but I always needed to go fishing."

Li Heng spoke lightly.

If one were to blame anyone for this situation, it would be Diluo for being too diligent in the past, radiating the influence of the Reincarnation too broadly and remotely; even though Diluo had fled here, he was still countless spaces and over a hundred eras away from the core Reincarnation Era.

Yet he was still within the radiation range of the Reincarnation.

"Arrogant! I only suffered a momentary defeat; you actually treated me as bait!" Diluo said with an ugly expression.

"Do you not feel you are in a life-and-death crisis?"

Li Heng said, and then the Great Void Power quietly manifested around Diluo, erupting directly and strangling Diluo with its terrifying, infinite might.

He couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with Diluo.

A notification of Source Power arriving echoed in his mind; countless Source Power and five million Golden Source Points—it was a sudden windfall. However, this result made Li Heng frown, thinking to himself that this shouldn't be right.

Diluo was, after all, a figure at the Hongdao level; according to the previous decimal progression, he should have been worth ten million Golden Source Points, so why only five million?

Could it be that this guy wasn't dead yet?

Li Heng didn't want to speculate further on this point; he directly consumed Source Power to probe, and the result obtained was indeed that Diluo was not completely dead—only a part of him had died.

However, the probe result also mentioned that to truly kill Diluo and harvest the full Source Power, there were two keys: one related to the helper Diluo had summoned, and one related to the Reincarnation Era.

At this moment, wisps of resentful sounds reached Li Heng's ears.

"You were born before I was, and by the time I was born, you were already old..."

"I regret we were not born at the same time, to be together day by day..."

He frowned; such familiar words, he seemed to have heard them back in the True Realm, when he was investigating a resentful doll in the shape of a young girl. Could he have encountered the real person now?

Looking toward the direction the resentful sounds came from, Li Heng went to meet them without hesitation; he wanted to see what kind of monster this was, and incidentally, resolve the matter of Diluo completely.

Beyond endless time and space.

The Nine-Life Resentful Woman swept past one era after another, the massive resentment wrapped around her causing the powerful beings in these eras to tremble in fear, as if the end of the world were approaching.

"A bunch of bugs."

She looked at the reactions of the powerful beings in these eras, thinking to herself. These so-called powerful beings, in her eyes, could not even be called humans; they were merely bugs, unable to even withstand the resentment she radiated, and they did not even have the qualifications to be her husband.

Gathering her scattered thoughts, the Nine-Life Resentful Woman frowned; she was already so close to the Reincarnation Era, why hadn't that guy Diluo replied to her message?

Could it be that he had already been beaten to death by that enemy?

A thought surfaced in her mind, then slowly dissipated.

How could that be?

That guy Diluo was also very sinister; even she had to be wary of him, so how could he be defeated so quickly? He should have been able to hold on for a while longer.

"This young lady, I wonder why you have come?"

The next instant, Li Heng appeared before the Nine-Life Resentful Woman, his expression warm, smiling as he looked at this helper Diluo had summoned. It had to be said, she was quite beautiful.

It was just that her resentment was a bit heavy, like a Xianglin Sao.

"You... who are you!"

Li Heng's sudden appearance was beyond the Nine-Life Resentful Woman's expectations; it was only after Li Heng finished speaking that she reacted and hurriedly stopped, otherwise she feared she would have crashed straight into him.

"Who am I? That is a good question."

Li Heng nodded as if in thought.

"How about we strike a bargain? I will tell you who I am, and you tell me your purpose, your background, and everything you know. How does that sound?"

The Nine-Life Resentful Woman frowned instantly upon hearing this.

"It seems you are very guarded, miss. Then let me start first; my name is Li Heng, and I am the new Reincarnation Dao Lord."

Li Heng said very sincerely.
