Chapter 1149: Fishing for Reincarnation

"Reincarnation Ravine!" Han Wuxian's mind flashed with this word in an instant. Only such a legendary branch of the netherworld river could possess such pure power of reincarnation law! This place actually connects to the netherworld?

"Just at the moment he was stunned"

"Junior! Hand over your life!" Heaven Slaughter Sect Master has already caught up! He had disheveled hair, his right arm still showing an unnatural ashen hue, but the killing aura around him was even more violent, obviously he had suppressed his injury at any cost, determined to seize the immortal treasure! He thrust a palm from afar, a blood-colored giant palm that covered the sky and earth, carrying the terrifying magical power of a peak mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, like a blood-colored heavens collapsing, fiercely pressing down on Han Wuxian, intending to smash him together with that stone bridge!

"This palm sealed off all dodging space, forcing him to take it head-on!"

"Han Wuxian's pupils contracted sharply! Taking it head-on means certain death!"

"At the critical moment, his gaze swept over the silently flowing Reincarnation Ravine water, and an extremely crazy idea suddenly surged!"

"He not only did not retreat, but instead advanced toward the blood-colored giant palm, fiercely raising the bronze lamp in his hand high!"

"Star Torch, ignite the nether!"

"He frantically activated the lamp, not as an attack, but to pour the lamp's starry power that purifies all things, unreservedly and extremely violently……into the silently flowing Reincarnation Ravine water below!"

"Buzz!!!"

"Reincarnation Ravine, this eternally silent branch of the netherworld river that bears the reincarnation law, has ever suffered such a 'provocation'?"

"The pure and mighty stellar purifying power, like hot oil dropped into cold water, instantly shattered the balance of the netherworld river's power!"

"The entire Reincarnation Ravine suddenly boiled!"

"The originally transparent and illusory river water suddenly turned turbid; countless drifting blurry faces emitted a silent yet soul-shaking shriek! The bone-chilling reincarnation law was forcibly stirred, turning into a terrifying gray-white vortex! An indescribable terrifying repulsion and devouring force targeting all 'living' auras erupted violently from the boiling river water!"

"The first to bear the brunt was the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master's utterly evil and filthy Blood Slaughter Giant Palm!"

"Sizzle!!!"

"At the moment the blood-colored giant palm touched the erupting netherworld river's power, it melted and disintegrated like snow under a scorching sun at visible speed! The blood slaughter, resentful spirits, and even the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master's divine sense attached to it were forcibly stripped, devoured, and swept into the Reincarnation Ravine, becoming part of the river water!"

"What?!""? Heaven Slaughter Sect Master was shocked to the point of losing his wits! He felt his magical power, divine sense, and even his Dao Foundation being frantically devoured and pulled by the out-of-control netherworld river power! The attack he forcibly unleashed instead became the best 'food' for the Reincarnation Ravine, triggering a even fiercer backlash!"

"He let out a strange cry, desperately retracting his remaining divine sense, his figure violently retreating, no longer daring to approach the cliff's edge, his face filled with shock and dread! He cultivated the Blood Slaughter heretical art, which is extremely yin and impure, naturally clashing with this reincarnation law; now that the Reincarnation Ravine has been provoked, its suppression of him is especially fierce!"

"Han Wuxian was no better off! As the instigator, he too suffered the indiscriminate impact of the netherworld river's law! Terrifying devouring power tugged at his soul and spirit, the icy reincarnation eroded his vitality! The bronze lamp in his bosom burst forth with unprecedented light, desperately protecting his core; the stellar power and reincarnation power clashed violently, leaving him like a small boat in a storm, liable to capsize at any moment!"

"But this is exactly the effect he wanted!"

"Taking advantage of the moment when the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master was forced back, the netherworld river power erupted fully, and chaos disrupted all senses"

"Han Wuxian endured the agony of his soul and spirit about to split, turned sharply, no longer attempting to cross the stone bridge, but rushed fiercely toward a hidden cave on the lower side, eroded year-round by the Reincarnation Ravine's mist!"

"The cave entrance was obscured by grayish-white mist and distorted light; without the netherworld river's turmoil, it would hardly be noticeable! The mouth was thick with reincarnation aura, perfectly concealing all his traces!"

"Just as his figure disappeared into the cave, the next second"

"Boom!!!"

"A pallid white bone shuttle, like an extraterrestrial meteorite, bore a terrifying aura no less than that of the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master, plummeting from the sky and crashing heavily onto the cliff where Han Wuxian had just stood! Upon the bone shuttle stepped a black-robed cultivator, his aura gloomy and obscure, actually a peak early-stage Void Refinement expert!"

"His gaze flashed like lightning, instantly sweeping over the boiling Reincarnation Ravine, the embarrassed Heaven Slaughter Sect Master forced back, and the hidden cave where Han Wuxian had disappeared, a flicker of astonishment and annoyance crossing his eyes!"

""Reincarnation Ravine in turmoil? What a cunning brat!" He never expected Han Wuxian to create chaos this way, shedding his golden cicada shell!"

""Netherworld Dao scum! It's you!" Heaven Slaughter Sect Master steadied his form, seeing the black-robed cultivator, his fury instantly blazing: "You've been lurking in the dark?! Want to reap the benefits without effort?!"

"The black-robed cultivator snorted coldly, saying nothing, his gaze locked fixedly on that cave; with a flick of his sleeve, a gray-white chain made of countless tiny skulls shot like a venomous snake toward the mouth! He could to some extent resist the ravaged reincarnation law here, and still pressed forward in pursuit!"

""Don't even think about it!" Heaven Slaughter Sect Master would not let others lay hands on the immortal treasure! Despite his wariness of the Reincarnation Ravine, he still roared, activating his Blood Slaughter demonic art to form a blood barrier, blocking the skull chain!"

"Boom!"

"The clash of the two Void Refinement experts' power sent shockwaves that made the Reincarnation Ravine boil even more!"

"Meanwhile, Han Wuxian had already delved deep into the narrow, gloomy cave. The two Void Refinement experts behind him were locked in mutual restraint, also temporarily blocked by the surging Reincarnation Ravine, finally buying him a precious sliver of breathing space!"

"He staggered forward, the cave sloping downward, endless depths, the air thick with ever‑stronger reincarnation aura and a strange, faint fragrance that seemed to nourish the soul. The bronze lamp in his arms gradually steadied its light, continuously healing his wounds."

"After an unknown distance, faint water sounds and a hazy glow came from ahead."

"He burst out of the cave mouth, and the scene before him shifted once again."

"This was a strange space deep underground, surrounded by tributaries of the Reincarnation Ravine. The sky was an inverted hanging black crystal glittering with starlight. On the ground grew countless strange herbs and flowers emitting a soft white light; a clear‑to‑the‑bottom stream, yet exuding faint reincarnation undulations, babbled along. By the stream stood a crude but tidy……thatched hut?"

"In front of the hut, a small fenced yard held several strange plants bearing pale gold fruit. An old man in coarse hemp clothing, his figure somewhat blurred and illusory, sat with his back to him, quietly fishing by the stream."

"On the old man there was no powerful spiritual fluctuation; instead he emanated an aura that blended with the surroundings, peaceful and void‑like, as if he himself were part of the Reincarnation Ravine."

"Han Wuxian abruptly halted his steps, his mind and spirit instantly tensed to the utmost!"
