Chapter 638: Ascending to Ancient King, Comprehending the Laws of Reincarnation

"Sister Jiuyou, I heard that the True Spirit Alliance has encountered major problems recently."

"Some Immortal Kings are suspected of having been possessed by the Dark Race; I wonder if this is actually true?"

Xia Shuiyang looked at Feng Jiuyou and asked curiously.

Because this matter could be considered of great importance; if the True Spirit Alliance were to have problems, it might also affect the Human Race.

To a certain extent, the Five Great Super Races are actually one entity.

"To tell you the truth, this matter is very likely true."

"I have also contacted some friends in the True Spirit Alliance before."

"They all feel that the current True Spirit Alliance is very strange."

"Many Immortal Kings of the True Spirit Alliance have even united with other super races, planning to launch an attack on the Human Race."

"Honestly, I highly suspect that those Immortal Kings planning to go to war with the Human Race have long since been possessed by the Dark Race."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to make such a decision."

Feng Jiuyou nodded, her expression very grave.

It was precisely because there might be major problems within the True Spirit Alliance that she did not dare to return.

After all, who knew if the interior of the Alliance was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

If she were to go back, she might fall into an enemy trap.

"In other words, the four super races are planning to besiege the Human Race?"

"To be honest, such a thing is not impossible."

"As far as I know, the four super races have been frequently mobilizing troops during this period, which is very likely because they intend to launch a war."

Ye Feirou said in a deep voice.

Such unusual movements had actually been noticed by many Great Luo Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings of the Human Race long ago.

After all, the Five Great Super Races had been at peace for a long time, and it had been a very long time since a war had broken out.

The conflicts between them were actually not as huge as one might imagine.

Because the White Day Land of the Immortal World is vast enough; just digesting the benefits of their respective territories is enough to keep them busy for a long time.

Especially after many Immortal Kings went deep into the Eternal Night Land and suffered heavy losses, the Five Great Super Races had even less reason to launch a war, and were all recovering their own vitality.

But now, the other four super races are actually planning to launch a war; this is clearly harming others without benefiting themselves.

To be able to do such a thing, besides the Dark Race Immortal Kings, there is no one else.

For the Dark Race, the more tragic the fighting between the Five Great Super Races, the better; it would be best if both sides were defeated and perished together.

They might even secretly stir up the contradictions among the five races, making both sides fight until they are exhausted.

"If this is the case, then what should we do?"

"Once a war is launched with the other four super races, can our Human Race withstand it?"

Bai Sujie was very worried about this point.

No matter what, the Human Race is ultimately just one super race, and the combined power of the other four super races is definitely superior to that of the Human Race.

If they really launch a war, even if the Human Race can hold on, it would surely be a pyrrhic victory.

"Rest assured, the foundation of the Human Race is unfathomable; even when facing the siege of the four super races, it is more than capable of handling it."

"For example, our Human Race's Eight-Tier Immortal Array—the Five Elements and Five Directions Array of Heaven and Earth—its defensive power can be called peerless in the world."

"Once this Eight-Tier Immortal Array is activated, even when facing their siege, we can withstand it."

"Not to mention that after hundreds of millions of years of development, the strength of our Human Race has also been significantly improved."

Tao Qili was full of confidence in the strength of the Human Race.

Ever since the Xuanhuang Sect unified the Human Race, they have planted a large number of Immortal Medicines and refined countless Immortal Pills all over the Human Race's territories.

This has also caused the strength of the Human Race to advance by leaps and bounds, with a large number of high-level immortals being born.

The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals alone has already reached over a billion.

It is simply unprecedentedly prosperous.

The only thing lacking might be the number of Immortal Kings and the number of Ancient Kings.

After all, the Five Great Ancient Kings of the Human Race have already been reincarnated, and the current sole pillar of the Human Race is Zhou Sui.

However, with the protection of the Eight-Tier Immortal Array, I believe this is not a problem at all.

Meanwhile, in the Eternal Night Land, at a certain location.

The Demon Race, the Spirit Race, the Prison Race, and the True Spirit Alliance, etc., the possessed Immortal Kings gathered together.

After years of possession, they finally occupied their respective shells and completed the possession.

Of course, if they had not been exposed, other Immortal Kings would not have been able to detect it.

"According to the Dark Race's plan, we intend to collectively launch an attack on the Human Race."

"And it will be the four super races joining forces."

"This time, even if we cannot destroy the Human Race, we must make the Human Race suffer heavy casualties."

"At the very least, we need to interrupt the development of the Human Race and not let them continue to grow."

A Demon Race Immortal King said in a deep voice.

They are very clear about the development of the Human Race over the past hundreds of millions of years; compared to before, it is simply advancing by leaps and bounds.

The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals alone has increased by over a billion.

If this continues, who knows how many Immortal Kings could be born.

Without a doubt, these powerhouses will inevitably be enemies of the Dark Race in the future.

So they want to eliminate these potential competitors as early as possible to prevent trouble before it happens.

To be honest, the development of the Human Race is simply a thorn in their side.

"But there are other Immortal Kings within the clan; they might not necessarily agree to attacking the Human Race."

"Stupid, we are Immortal Kings ourselves; why would we need to listen to the opinions of other Immortal Kings? As long as we launch the attack, even if the other Immortal Kings don't want to agree, there is nothing they can do."

"That's right. Once war breaks out, the Five Great Super Races will all be involved. Even if they want to get out of it, it will be impossible. This time, we must make all five races sink into the quagmire of war."

"But some Ancient Kings are already suspicious of our identities; they might be planning to make a move against us."

"That is why we need to strike first. As the saying goes, 'he who strikes first gains the advantage, he who strikes later suffers.' Once the war is launched, even if they are suspicious of us, they won't dare to act rashly."

"That is indeed true. If they dare to make a move against us, that would be inciting internal strife within the clan and launching an internal war. If they are smart enough, they won't do such a stupid thing."

"Exactly, exactly. Even if they do make a move against us, so what? We won't just sit and wait for death. If it really comes to a fight, how could these Immortal Kings be our match?"

"Therefore, launching this war against the Human Race is imperative. Whether it is to deal with the Human Race or to cope with the suspicions of other Immortal Kings, it is something that must be done."

The many Dark Race Immortal Kings discussed it one after another.

Although they had indeed possessed many Immortal Kings, they had not yet occupied the most important advantage.

Especially the Eight-Tier Immortal Array of the four super races; they had no way to completely control it yet.

So at this time, they could not turn against them either.

Fortunately, those Ancient Kings still could not see through their identities, so they did not dare to act rashly.

Launching a war against the Human Race at this time could just happen to dispel the thoughts of those Ancient Kings making a move; it could be called killing many birds with one stone.

……

Xuanhuang Palace, a certain Cave Abode.

This was also the place where Zhou Sui was in seclusion to cultivate.

Now he did not know anything that was happening in the outside world; he was just focused and concentrated on the matter of breaking through to the Ancient King Realm. After hundreds of millions of years of cultivation and taking the Eight-Tier Immortal Medicine, the Dao Fruit, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, it also allowed his comprehension of the Reincarnation Law to improve to a certain degree.

Having reached this point, he finally found the opportunity to break through to the Ancient King Realm.

"No wonder the Reincarnation Law is so difficult to comprehend; it is simply traceless."

"It is one of the most fundamental laws of this Universe, integrated into nature, integrated into all things in the world."

"Life and death, fire and water, good and evil, yin and yang; all forces balance each other and check each other, always remaining in a dynamic equilibrium. This is reincarnation."

"The entire Universe is able to restart time and time again, to reincarnate time and time again, precisely because it has mastered the Reincarnation Law."

"Reincarnation is rebirth, and it is also destruction, existing between life and death."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground.

He sensed that after taking the Eight-Tier Immortal Medicine, the Dao Fruit, his comprehension of the Reincarnation Law had improved geometrically. For the past three hundred million years, he had been in a state of sudden enlightenment at every moment.

For other Immortal Kings, the Reincarnation Law was hidden deep within nature and deep within the Great Dao, almost impossible to perceive or seek out, so wanting to comprehend the Reincarnation Law was simply incomparably difficult.

Even if they spent countless years of effort, they could not have any realization.

But Zhou Sui was different. Having obtained the assistance of the Eight-Tier Immortal Medicine, the Dao Fruit, plus the enlightenment provided by the Book Gu and the help of many Gu Insects, his enlightenment had been astonishingly improved.

This allowed his affinity for the Reincarnation Law to reach the highest level.

So comprehending it was as simple as eating and drinking.

Boom—

In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed that from the depths of the Void, strands of information about the Reincarnation Law surged over, one after another, merging into his Immortal King Dao Fruit.

The many chaotic laws originally on the Immortal King Dao Fruit underwent earth-shaking changes after merging with the Reincarnation Law. The laws that had originally conflicted with each other now actually began to form an absolute balance.

Without a doubt, the Reincarnation Law was a kind of balancing force that could maintain the balance of all things and nature, thereby allowing the entire world and the entire Universe to operate smoothly and remain eternal and immortal.

Thump!

Ancient King Realm!

In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed that he had easily broken through the bottleneck and ascended to the Ancient King Realm.

After all, his comprehension of the Reincarnation Law had already reached an extremely unfathomable level; for him, ascending to the Ancient King Realm was just a matter of course.

At this moment, the Immortal King Dao Fruit underwent an earth-shaking change.

It merged with the power of the Reincarnation Law, integrated the countless laws within the Dao Fruit, and formed a perfect balance, while simultaneously seeming to resonate and vibrate with the Reincarnation Law of the Universe.

Then, it permeated with waves of undying, immortal aura.

Thereby causing the density of the Dao Fruit to increase geometrically.

"Is this the Ancient King Dao Fruit?"

"Is this the secret of the Ancient King's reincarnation and immortality?"

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, sensing that infinite information was surging into the depths of his sea of consciousness. He perceived that his Primordial Spirit power had increased by dozens, if not hundreds, of times.

Then he also sensed the Reincarnation Law that shrouded the entire Universe.

The vast Universe was surrounded by countless laws, and the Reincarnation Law was the fundamental law that maintained the balance of these Heavenly Laws; it was simply omnipresent.

If the Reincarnation Law were no longer there, then this Universe would completely collapse, all laws would be torn apart, and the Universe would explode and collapse completely because of this.

And the reason why an Ancient King possessed an Undying Primordial Spirit was precisely because they had comprehended the Reincarnation Law and resonated with it.

In this way, once they encountered danger, the Ancient King Dao Fruit would instantly escape into the depths of reincarnation, into the depths of the Universe's Origin.

Even the most powerful enemy could not possibly find the traces of an Ancient King.

After all, reincarnation is omnipresent, so naturally, it is impossible to detect traces of the Soul.

It is precisely because of this that while it is easy to defeat an Ancient King, it is truly too difficult to kill one.

Previously, the five Ancient Kings of the Human Race were possessed by the Dark Race, but they were still able to reincarnate and be reborn.

From this, it can be seen that the survival ability of an Ancient King is simply extraordinary.

"However, an Ancient King is not an immortal existence either."

"There are still some means within this Universe that can kill an Ancient King."

A Cold Glow appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

If the Ancient King were truly immortal, then the Human Race would not have lost four Ancient Kings; it is simply that Ancient Kings are more difficult to kill than new kings.

Although there are not many ways to kill an Ancient King, they do exist.

The first method is naturally absolute power, instantly crushing the Ancient King's Soul so that the Ancient King does not even have time to escape into Samsara; in this way, the Ancient King will naturally perish.

In the past, a Human Race Ancient King ventured deep into the Eternal Night Land and encountered an irresistible force.

In just a split second, their Soul was annihilated, leaving the Ancient King no chance to escape into Samsara, and then they died and vanished; however, wanting to master power that completely surpasses an Ancient King is truly too difficult.

Such figures do indeed exist in the Universe, but no one knows how many times they have crossed the Universe's Samsara.

That is why they are able to master this invincible power.

The second method is to use poison, such as Memory Poison; if this peculiar toxin enters an Ancient King's Soul, it will be like a maggot in the bone, constantly devouring the Ancient King's soul memories.

Even as time passes, the Ancient King's soul memories will constantly disappear, and eventually, they will completely forget their past life.

If they have forgotten the memories of their past life, then it is actually no different from death.

In fact, there have been some such Ancient Kings in history who encountered Memory Poison and then escaped into Samsara.

As a result, after being reborn, they completely forgot their previous memories, already counting as a second person, having formed a new personality.

The third method is a Curse; a special kind of Curse can attach itself to an Ancient King's Soul, following the Ancient King's Soul as it constantly enters Samsara; unless the power of the Curse is eliminated, it will follow them no matter how many times they enter Samsara.

Previously, Feng Jiuyou encountered a similar power of a Curse, which made it so that even though she chose Phoenix Nirvana, she still could not shake it off; it was only after receiving help from Zhou Sui that she could be considered to have survived.

If not for Zhou Sui's help in clearing the Curse, Feng Jiuyou would likely have died without a doubt.

The fourth method is possession; this is a power that only Dark Race Immortal Kings can use, as they can enter the physical bodies of Ancient Kings and devour the Ancient Kings' primordial spirits.

Once successful, they not only devour the Ancient Kings' primordial spirit power but also obtain their memories.

However, if the Ancient Kings are determined to run, it is not so easy for a Dark Race Immortal King to succeed in possession.

Of course, all the above methods are based on the premise that the Ancient Kings are careless and are ambushed by enemies.

If the Ancient Kings are cautious and careful, it is almost impossible to kill them.

Many times, Ancient Kings die at the hands of those close to them.

"In other words, I actually have the means to finish off an Ancient King."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

The Dream Soul Gu, Gold-Eating Insect, and Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu on his body all contain the power of Curses and deadly poisons.

If used on an Ancient King, it would certainly cause them to suffer heavy damage.

Once they are careless, they might just die and vanish.

Therefore, as long as one has sufficient strength, an existence at the Ancient King level is not impossible to kill.

"The Cave Heaven World has also expanded."

At this very moment, Zhou Sui sensed that after he ascended to the Ancient King Realm, his Ancient King Grotto-Heaven had also undergone earth-shaking changes; when he was still in the Immortal King Realm, the scope of the Cave Heaven World was fixed.

After all, the power of the laws determines the size of the world.

This is just like a building; the foundation of the building actually determines its height.

Some foundations can only support seven or eight floors, while some foundations can support hundreds of floors.

It is the same principle.

Ascending to the Ancient King Realm and integrating the Reincarnation Law is equivalent to strengthening the original foundation by dozens or even hundreds of times, which also allows this building to be constructed with higher floors.

Boom—

In an instant, with a thought from Zhou Sui, his entire body became like a black hole, devouring the boundless Immortal Qi in the surroundings; in just a split second, he devoured the surrounding Immortal Qi into a vacuum zone.

One can imagine just how enormous his thirst for Immortal Qi is now.

Because even if the foundation is firm and extremely solid, it still requires a large amount of steel and concrete to build floors.

Therefore, if one wants to expand the Cave Heaven World, one still needs vast Immortal Qi and vast Source Energy.

Fortunately, the place where he is located is exactly the source of the Human Race's Eight-Tier Immortal Vein, which contains infinite Immortal Qi.

At the same time, over these three hundred million years, he has also been in the Eternal Night Land, using the power of the Gold-Eating Insect to plunder one Immortal Vein after another, thereby increasing the concentration of Immortal Qi in the Human Territory by several times over.

Therefore, relying on the Immortal Qi within the Human Territory, it is completely enough to satisfy the expansion of his Cave Heaven World.

"Not enough, far from enough."

"More Immortal Substance and more Source Energy are needed."

A Cold Glow appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

He sensed that his thirst for Source Energy was incomparably vast; even an Eight-Tier Immortal Vein could not satisfy his appetite.

However, he had long anticipated this point.

Because every time one breaks through to a higher realm, it requires the consumption of vast Source Energy.

So he also took advantage of this time to harvest a large amount of Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruit.

Such as Flat Peach, Huangzhong Immortal Fruit, Samsara Fruit, Five Elements Immortal Fruit, and so on.

These Immortal Medicines and Immortal Fruits all entered his body as if they were free.

Then they instantly transformed into massive Immortal Substance, all of which merged into the Cave Heaven World.

This also made Zhou Sui feel incomparably comfortable.

It was as if his body were soaking in a hot spring; his whole body felt warm.

"Comfortable."

Zhou Sui took a deep breath and felt very satisfied.

After obtaining such massive Immortal Substance, the Cave Heaven World within his body underwent earth-shaking changes.

The original Cave Heaven World was also crazily expanding, expanding, and constantly expanding.

Ten million light-years, thirty million light-years, fifty million light-years, one hundred million light-years, three hundred million light-years...

In the end, it expanded to a full one billion light-years.

Compared to before, the Cave Heaven World had expanded many times over, becoming simply vast and boundless.

The interior of the Cave Heaven World was also incomparably spacious, capable of accommodating countless life-bearing stars and infinite living beings.

It was as if they were galaxy after galaxy.

"It is too massive."

Zhou Sui was shaken to his core; he had never expected that after ascending to the Ancient King Realm, the Cave Heaven World within his body would expand to such a degree, appearing just like a miniature Universe.

To a certain extent, it was already similar to an initial Universe.

He sensed that his Cave Heaven World contained infinite mysteries, seemingly resonating with the entire Universe.

A tyrannical power flooded every cell in his body.

It seemed that with a single thought, he could erupt with enough energy to destroy a region spanning millions of light-years.

He was now nothing short of a world-ending natural disaster.

Every move he made contained infinite might.

"The Reincarnation Law has also been integrated into the Cave Heaven World."

For Zhou Sui, he felt that the greatest change to the Cave Heaven World was not merely the expansion of its internal area, but more importantly, the integration of the Reincarnation Law within it.

The laws that were originally chaotic and highly disordered actually began to achieve balance after the Reincarnation Law was integrated.

Conflicts would no longer arise between the laws.

The laws of the entire Cave Heaven World had also completely stabilized, even forming a cycle.

"Even if the Cave Heaven World is destroyed now, it can be reborn."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

He perceived that the Ancient King Grotto-Heaven within his body was now extremely formidable; having integrated the Reincarnation Law, it already possessed the property of immortality, or perhaps the property of rebirth.

If an original Cave Heaven World were destroyed by an enemy, repairing it completely would be an incomparably difficult task.

But it was different once the Reincarnation Law was integrated.

It was as if the entire world had turned into memory metal; even if parts of it were destroyed, as long as enough time was given, it could still be rapidly restored to its original state.

Even if it were completely destroyed, as long as a bit of residue remained, it could rapidly regenerate.

This was just like this Universe now.

Even if it restarted time and again, it could recover time and again.

Of course, it was not as powerful as this Universe, but compared to ordinary Cave Heaven Worlds, the Ancient King Grotto-Heaven was already quite formidable, even unfathomable, containing infinite mysteries of Samsara.

"After reaching the Ancient King Realm, there is also the danger of Daoization."

"But an Ancient King is able to control their own Soul, allowing them to remove the many Tribulation Qi from their body."

"Allowing themselves to always remain in a state of peak condition."

"Therefore, the Longevity of an Ancient King is infinite, worthy of being called equal to the heavens and earth."

"As long as the Universe has not been destroyed, then the Ancient King is an immortal existence."

Zhou Sui realized that only by ascending to the Ancient King Realm could an immortal truly possess eternal life, and only then could they escape the many tribulations, surviving even the Big Bang of the Universe.

This was the power of comprehending the Reincarnation Law.

"Only now can I be considered to be standing at the peak of the Immortal World."

Zhou Sui took a deep breath, feeling very excited.

Although there were still the levels of Ancient Immortal King and Taigu Immortal King ahead, in essence, they actually all belonged to the same tier; the reason for the gap in cultivation was merely the accumulation of Source Energy within the body.

Some Ancient Kings had weathered the cycles of the Universe time and again, causing their combat power to continuously increase.

Yet, there was actually no qualitative change between them.
