Chapter 657: Refining the Immortal King of the Dark Race, the Refining Power of the Gu God Bowl
Several days later.
The Reincarnation Gu gestated one avatar after another, each merging into a different Hell Plane.
Deep within the Hell Planes, a massive Reincarnation Black Hole appeared with a start.
As long as one enters the Reincarnation Black Hole, one can be reincarnated into reality.
This caused every Hell Plane to undergo earth-shattering changes.
News of this instantly spread to every evil ghost, letting them know the message of Samsara.
"What? As long as I cleanse the sins from my body, I can be reincarnated and return to the living world?"
Upon hearing this news, many evil ghosts were ecstatic.
They had long since grown to loathe staying in Diyu.
Moreover, it requires enduring long ages and endless torture.
If possible, they hope to escape this place and return to the living world.
Regrettably, there was previously only one way to leave Diyu, and that was to escape through the Hell Gate.
But wanting to accomplish that is basically impossible.
Because those guarding the Hell Gate are Demon Gods.
The strength of the other party is comparable to an Immortal King.
To this day, not a single evil ghost has been able to successfully sneak through the Hell Gate to return to the living world.
The reason they could return to the living world before was purely because the Lord of Hell needed to borrow the power of the evil ghosts to fight the creatures of the Dark Race, so they were temporarily permitted to leave Diyu.
Now that the war has ended, they have returned to Diyu once again.
"Heh, Samsara my ass."
"If it were living a life over again, that would indeed be a good choice."
"But didn't you see the specific conditions above? It requires washing away the memories of the previous life."
"Letting one's Soul return to a blank slate is the only way to enter Samsara."
"If that is truly the case, then how is it any different from being dead?"
"Without my current memories, am I still me?"
Many evil ghosts simply scoffed at such reincarnation.
They felt that this was not much different from being dead.
If they completely lost their current memories, would they still be the current them?
Therefore, they would rather stay and live in the Hell Planes forever than go through reincarnation.
"That's right, if one could reincarnate while keeping their memories, I would definitely be the first to sign up."
"But needing to cleanse the memories from one's body to reincarnate is just too ridiculous."
"Who would voluntarily commit suicide?"
Some evil ghosts also strongly agreed with this point.
They believed that staying to live in the Hell Planes was actually better.
Although the environment of the Hell Planes is indeed very poor, they are battle-crazed demons by nature.
They don't care at all what the surrounding environment looks like.
Compared to the environment of the living world, life in the Hell Planes is more comfortable.
"That's not necessarily true; although the environment of the Hell Planes does make some evil ghosts feel like fish in water, for the majority of evil ghosts, it still has great disadvantages."
"As far as I know, if an evil ghost possesses sins, they will be subjected to the torture of Hell's punishments; whether they are willing or not, they must undergo Hell's punishments to cleanse the sins from their bodies."
"So, wanting to stay and live in the Hell Planes safe and sound is not as simple as you imagine."
"Soon, the evil ghosts will realize that rather than living a life worse than death in the Hell Planes, it is better to choose Samsara."
Many evil ghosts sneered.
They knew very well what kind of place Diyu was; this is no paradise for evil ghosts.
Its true face is actually a prison for evil ghosts.
Those Demon Gods are the jailers of Diyu, specifically responsible for managing the order of Diyu.
Over this period of time, the number of Hell Demon Gods seems to have increased, and their strength has become increasingly formidable.
It is estimated that it won't be long before the chaotic and unorganized situation of the Hell Planes is completely ended.
All evil ghosts will be properly managed.
By then, being as free as they are now will basically be impossible.
Later on, wanting to enter Samsara might not be such an easy matter either.
"This."
Hearing these words, many evil ghosts fell silent.
Clearly, this was an order issued by the Lord of Hell.
It is not as if they can choose not to enter Samsara just because they don't want to; this must be one of the fundamental laws of Diyu.
Once the requirements are met, they will enter Samsara and depart from the Hell Planes.
Rumble~~
Before long, many evil ghosts were heading to the place of Samsara one after another.
Their Souls were instantly wiped of memories by the Dream Soul Gu, forming a blank slate.
Then, many Souls entered Samsara one after another, reincarnating into various places across the Universe.
Due to the reincarnation of these Souls, this Universe also began to gestate many geniuses.
The more times one undergoes Samsara, the higher the quality of that Soul, and the more likely it is to gestate special talents.
…………
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Eternal Night Land, the Eternal Night Daogong.
Many Taigu Immortal Kings of the Dark Race wore expressions of gloom and misery.
Now, these Immortal Kings were reduced to a mere handful.
Even with the Dark Race's incredibly deep foundation, they could not withstand such losses.
With hundreds of thousands of Immortal Kings falling all at once, it was impossible to know how much time it would take to recover.
For the Dark Race, this was simply an unprecedented loss.
"This time, our Dark Race truly underestimated the Human Race and underestimated the Xuanhuang Immortal King."
"This person is absolutely the strongest opponent our Dark Race has encountered since entering this Universe."
"Even the Destined Son of the past was nothing but trash compared to him."
"This guy is simply an anomaly birthed by this Universe."
"I fear this Xuanhuang Immortal King has already reached the level of a Half-step Dao Lord."
A Taigu Immortal King took a deep breath, a look of terror appearing on its face.
It felt a massive headache.
This was also an unprecedented crisis encountered by the Dark Race.
If not handled properly, it could very likely lead to the complete annihilation of the Dark Race.
Therefore, it had to act cautiously and absolutely could not let the Dark Race be doomed forever.
"No way, is it really just the level of a Half-step Dao Lord?"
"To be honest, since the opponent wiped out hundreds of thousands of Immortal Kings in an instant, I thought they had already stepped into the Dao Lord Realm."
Many Dark Race Immortal Kings were filled with terror.
They were also panic-stricken, fearing that the Xuanhuang Immortal King would come to slaughter them at the Eternal Night Daogong.
At that point, all the living beings of the Dark Race would likely die.
"Heh, ascending to Dao Lord is not such a simple matter."
"If the opponent had truly become a Dao Lord, they would have likely already slaughtered their way to the Eternal Night Daogong."
"They absolutely would not have stopped just like that."
"The reason they chose to stop is because the opponent also knows that if they truly penetrated deep into the Eternal Night Daogong and awakened the Master, then all living beings in this Universe would be completely extinguished."
"The Universe would also face another destruction."
"That is why the opponent is so cautious and did not attack rashly, choosing instead to remain in the White Day Land."
"The opponent has not acted rashly."
That Taigu Immortal King said straightforwardly, stating its speculation.
"Indeed."
Many Dark Race Immortal Kings nodded in unison; they also highly agreed with this conclusion.
Because according to the Xuanhuang Immortal King's personality, if there were absolute certainty, they would have likely already slaughtered their way to the Eternal Night Daogong.
They would absolutely not be so kind as to give them a chance to recuperate.
It is precisely because of the fear of the Master that the Xuanhuang Immortal King does not dare to act rashly.
But this also proves that the Xuanhuang Immortal King has not taken the final step.
It is merely the realm of a Half-step Dao Lord.
However, even so, the Xuanhuang Immortal King's strength is terrifying to an absurd degree.
Before the Master awakens, no living being of the Dark Race is a match for the Xuanhuang Immortal King.
This is also an unprecedented crisis encountered by the Dark Race.
To be honest, they never imagined that this Universe, having suffered countless suppressions by the Dark Race, would actually not collapse and would instead give birth to such a brilliant civilization in this current era.
It even gave birth to the anomaly, the Xuanhuang Immortal King.
"If that is the case, then what is our next plan?"
An Immortal King asked.
After all, during this period, the Immortal Dao Civilization has been launching a massive offensive against the Eternal Night Land.
But having lost a large number of Immortal Kings and Dark Race soldiers, they no longer have any power to resist.
They can only watch helplessly as the Immortal Dao Civilization captures cities and seizes territory.
This also makes them feel extremely stifled; it is simply an unprecedented humiliation.
"For now, we are powerless to resist the Immortal Dao Civilization and can only endure for the time being."
"Although with the power of the Hope Fire, the Immortal Dao Civilization can recover most of the areas eroded by the Eternal Night."
"However, the area near our Eternal Night Daogong is eternally shrouded by the power of the Eternal Night."
"Even if the Hope Fire is powerful, it is impossible for it to do anything to the Darkness here."
"Therefore, as long as we hold the Eternal Night Daogong, that will be enough."
The Taigu Immortal King said in a deep voice.
It also knew that making such a decision was not easy; for the arrogant Dark Race, it was simply a great shame, but there was no other way.
Because the Immortal Dao Civilization is powerful and their own strength is less than one-tenth of what it was, they can only hold the Eternal Night Daogong.
Temporarily endure the opponent's offensive and wait for the opportunity to arrive.
"I also agree with this point."
"The Xuanhuang Immortal King's strength is too terrifying; they are a powerhouse at the Half-step Dao Lord level."
"If the opponent takes action personally, no matter how many Immortal Kings we send, it will be a dead end."
"The only one who can contend with the Xuanhuang Immortal King is our Lord."
"Therefore, before our Lord awakens, we must not act rashly."
"If we were to strike recklessly, it would only result in the fall of more companions; it is completely not worth the loss."
Another Taigu Immortal King nodded, also highly agreeing with this suggestion.
Currently, the only thing they can do is wait for the awakening of the Eternal Night Dao Lord.
Apart from this, they can do nothing; the more they do, the more mistakes they will make.
For a time, the entire Dark Race immediately fell silent.
They no longer took action in the Eternal Night Land.
They even had no intention of going to war with the Immortal Dao Civilization, instead shrinking their battle lines.
They huddled all their forces within the Eternal Night Daogong.
Because they believe that as long as the Eternal Night Dao Lord awakens, all difficulties will be solved easily.
A mere Immortal Dao Civilization could not possibly be an opponent of the Dark Race.
…………
On the other hand, the Xuanhuang Daogong.
This is the place where Zhou Sui is in seclusion to cultivate.
Now he has already entered into deep-level cultivation.
For him, the most important thing at the moment is to improve his own cultivation and then comprehend the many Heavenly Laws.
Ascending to the Dao Lord Realm is his only goal.
If one does not become a Dao Lord, then it is impossible to be an opponent of the Eternal Night Dao Lord.
In this way, all previous victories were so childish, so insignificant.
The Eternal Night Dao Lord is the true enemy of this Universe, an unprecedentedly strong enemy.
"As expected of the Gu God Bowl."
"Refining these Dark Race Immortal Kings is simply as easy as eating and drinking water."
At this moment, Zhou Sui sensed that hundreds of thousands of Dark Race Immortal Kings were imprisoned deep within the Gu God Bowl.
Originally, refining these Dark Race Immortal Kings would have been an incomparably difficult task.
But under the refining of the Chaos Supreme Treasure Gu God Bowl, one Dark Race Immortal King after another was actually refined by the Chaos Qi, rapidly transforming into the purest Source Energy.
No matter what nature the energy within the Dark Race Immortal Kings possessed, it was of no use before the Gu God Bowl; any negative energy would be transformed into pure, refined energy.
This is one of the abilities possessed by the Gu God Bowl, which is to refine all things.
To be honest, if Zhou Sui wanted to improve his cultivation before, he had to devour a large amount of Chaos Crystals and Eight-Tier Immortal Medicine.
The problem is that there are not many such high-tier resources in the entire Universe.
Moreover, his appetite is extremely large; if the quantity is too small, it is not enough for him to cultivate for long.
But now it is different.
The Source Energy contained within the hundreds of thousands of Dark Race Immortal Kings is unimaginably vast.
Each Immortal King is a high-purity energy aggregate.
They do not even know how many years they have spent in bitter cultivation.
The energy contained within their bodies is equivalent to Great Thousand Worlds.
Even if many Eight-Tier Immortal Medicines and Chaos Crystals were added together, they would not compare to the Source Energy contained within an Immortal King.
From a certain perspective, every Immortal King is actually a supreme Immortal Medicine.
It is just that wanting to refine a Dark Race Immortal King is almost an impossible task.
If an ordinary Immortal King wanted to devour a Dark Race Immortal King, they would definitely be polluted by the dense Darkness energy within the opponent, and might even be eroded, thereby becoming a dark creature.
However, after they are refined by the Gu God Bowl now, they have been thoroughly purified and transformed into the purest Source Energy; for an Immortal King, they can be called supreme Immortal Medicines.
The value within is simply immeasurable.
"If I can refine all hundreds of thousands of Immortal Kings, then the Source Energy obtained will be quite astonishing."
"The current me no longer needs any Immortal Medicine or Chaos Crystals."
"The energy contained within these Immortal Kings alone is enough to raise my cultivation to a terrifying level."
"If I can also comprehend the Heavenly Laws of this Universe, then I will definitely be able to become a Dao Lord."
Zhou Sui clenched his fists, seemingly seeing a broad road of cultivation.
Boom—
In an instant, he sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and immediately entered a state of deep seclusion.
The Gu God Bowl floated above his head.
Each Heavenly Gu Insect was swimming about, seemingly resonating with the laws of this Universe.
They were even symbols of the laws of this Universe.
Zhou Sui sensed messages of Heavenly Laws coming from deep within his sea of consciousness, just like an enlightenment, which also kept him in a state of sudden realization.
In the blink of an eye, ten billion years passed.
