416: Chapter 416 The Power of Reincarnation, Soul-Devouring Heavenly Array Diagram

The red passage emitted a terrifying suction, like the mouth of the Netherworld Yellow Springs!

It frantically devoured the souls of the mortal realm, the entire continent, the Heavenly Poison Lady's Woeful Poison Curtain, and everything within the Endless Mountains.

"Bastard..."

The Heavenly Poison Lady screamed in anger; even a Dou Saint powerhouse was powerless in the face of Samsara.

Her grey-purple eyes shrieked in terror at the mere sight of the passage before her.

The terrifying suction was directed right at the Heavenly Poison Lady.

The light curtain formed by her vast Dou Qi was slowly weakening as its energy was devoured. By now, the Heavenly Poison Lady had realized the terror of the red passage.

She began to struggle frantically, desperate to escape.

But what was the red passage? It was the Samsara Passage opened by the Eyes of Samsara!

Had it not been for Hun Tiandi being a mere Seven-star Dou Wang, he would have opened a much larger Samsara Passage despite giving it his all.

Even so, as small as the Samsara Passage was, it was enough!

Otherwise... the Heavenly Poison Lady, Xiao Yi Xian, would have ceased to exist on the continent today.

After the Five Elders of the Poison Sect failed their mission and returned, they reported that Hao Meili had been saved by a youth who also killed two elders.

Because of this, the master of the Poison Sect, Xiao Yi Xian, prepared to take action herself.

Unfortunately, she was caught off guard by Hun Tiandi. Just as she was about to dodge, she found herself right in front of the Samsara Passage!

If you don't die, who will?

The Heavenly Poison Lady struggled madly as her body was slowly pulled in by the suction. The shadow of death loomed over her heart, and she made a split-second decision.

Rumble!

At the critical moment, with the suction being so terrifying and the Samsara Passage disrupting the laws of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Poison Lady said coldly, "I shall remember today's grudge!"

Immediately after, her figure exploded violently. Such was the terrifying power of the devouring force.

The Samsara Passage shrank and abruptly disappeared. The black hole in space slowly healed, leaving behind a bottomless pit on the ground.

"An avatar? Sacrificing itself to save her..." Hun Tiandi was extremely weak. There wasn't a drop of blood where the Heavenly Poison Lady had exploded, clearly indicating a body-double technique.

Only then did Liu Ling snap out of his daze, shuddering as cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Having felt that terrifying devouring force earlier, his soul had become clouded just by catching a glimpse of the red light.

He looked at Hun Tiandi in fear. Was this the Emperor's doing?

Far away in the heart of the Izumo Empire, within a training room of the Poison Sect, a figure in a purple-red dress suddenly opened her eyes.

Pfft!

She immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Her fair cheeks were as pale as paper, and her grey-purple eyes were filled with horror.

"What on earth was that? How can such a terrifying thing exist on the Fighting Qi Continent?"

"Damn it, one of my avatars actually perished. That was a life-saving method Xiao Yan left for me when he departed the Fighting Qi Continent!"

Xiao Yi Xian said uneasily. Having lost this life-saving trump card, she would need to be more cautious in the future.

She slowly closed her eyes and began to recover from the injuries caused by the death of her avatar.

This life-saving method was not without its costs.

In the valley, Hun Tiandi's figure was hunched as he fell from mid-air. Fortunately, Liu Ling was quick and used his Dou Qi to catch him.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Liu Ling asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just over-exhausted!" Hun Tiandi waved his hand. The surging Dou Qi in his body had been depleted by ninety-nine percent.

He staggered toward the table and chairs, took out Spirit Wine from his storage ring, and began to drink it down frantically, circulating his cultivation technique to refine it and restore his Dou Qi.

"How is Meili's injury?" Hun Tiandi asked while recovering.

"Your Majesty, Miss Hao Meili burned her origin. Her injuries are severe, and she has fallen into a coma. She will need long-term treatment to recover!"

Liu Ling said solemnly. He had never seen an injury from burning one's origin before; even as a high-tier seventh-rank Alchemist, he was helpless.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi paused his drinking, his expression turning extremely grim as he nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, the fluctuations from the battle earlier will likely attract the attention of many experts. We shouldn't stay here long!" Liu Ling advised again.

"No, Meili is seriously injured and unconscious, and Qing Yue is in seclusion!"

"Now is not the time to leave. The most dangerous place is often the safest!"

Hun Tiandi said calmly. He then took out a mysterious and complex array map, took a deep breath, and tossed it into the air.

The array map expanded rapidly in the wind. Under Liu Ling's dumbfounded gaze, it unfurled until it was a thousand zhang wide.

It blotted out the sun and spanned the sky.

"Spirit-Devouring Heaven Formation Map, open!"

Having just recovered ten percent of his Dou Qi, Hun Tiandi muttered as the map merged with the space and heaven, completely enveloping a radius of a thousand li.

The valley they were in was also affected; it remained where it was, but to others, it appeared as just an ordinary valley.

"An array map?" Liu Ling had once seen records of arrays in the Flame Alliance's library while following his teacher, Furukawa. It was a divine and mystical method that allowed the weak to defeat the strong and change the very environment.

In the Fighting Qi Continent, they were even rarer than Alchemists!

He hadn't expected the Emperor to produce an array map. Just how many more trump cards was he hiding?

After the Spirit-Devouring Heaven Formation Map was set up, people began to arrive from all directions. When they saw the endless mountain forest...

Everyone was stunned. Scarcely ten percent of the mountain range remained, and a bottomless pit, a hundred thousand zhang wide, lay before them.

The destructive power was terrifying; endless rivers had been cut off or diverted, and the earth was riddled with massive cracks.

"What exactly happened? Who could be so monstrous?"

Many experts looked on in horror. Such a terrifying scene must have been the result of a battle between peerless powerhouses.

In the valley, Hun Tiandi was full of confidence in the Spirit-Devouring Heaven Formation Map, which had been deduced by the Array Emperor and refined using countless materials.

"Liu Ling, treat Hao Meili's injuries first. We'll discuss the rest after I come out of seclusion!"

After making arrangements, Hun Tiandi entered the bamboo house from before.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Ling said respectfully.

After entering the bamboo house, Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate, his hands forming a cultivation seal. Opening the Samsara Passage had consumed too much power, including his soul strength.

Fortunately, he had previously cultivated the Soul Weapon Art to the fourth stage, the Soul Green Sword realm.

Otherwise, he would have been in mortal danger from soul exhaustion even before the Heavenly Poison Lady's avatar exploded!

Earlier, it was just a hair's breadth away; if the Heavenly Poison Lady had lasted ten more breaths, the Samsara Passage would have collapsed on its own.

Because both the Dou Qi in his body and the soul power in his Sea of Consciousness had reached their limits.

Liu Ling began to prepare medicinal liquids to treat Hao Meili's injuries. Since she was unconscious, she couldn't swallow pills.

He decided to prepare a medicinal bath instead, allowing the medicine to slowly permeate her body. Pills were difficult to administer, and their properties were too aggressive.

The unconscious Hao Meili wouldn't be able to refine and absorb them on her own.

"Oh my god, what do I do?" After Liu Ling prepared the medicinal liquid, he realized an awkward problem.

The Emperor had entered seclusion, and Qing Yue had not yet come out!

"How am I supposed to carry out the medicinal bath?" Liu Ling knew his place. This Miss Hao Meili might be the Empress in the future, and her dignity as an Empress was not something a subject could look upon.

He then waited anxiously.

Boom!

With a loud rumble, there was a great commotion from the bamboo house where Qing Yue was staying. After waiting for fifteen minutes, a young girl in a light green dress slowly walked out.

Her pretty face was brimming with joy, and she happened to see the anxious Liu Ling.
