31: Chapter 31 The Celestial Venerable's Attainment of the Dao - Extraordinary Manifestations in the Pri

"It's actually full?" A smile played on the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth. Inside that bronze coffin was a space comparable to a Major Thousand Worlds, and now it was actually filled to the brim with corpses.

Although it was overflowing, he still had the chaos corpse pill—it was a chaos spiritual treasure with an internal space hundreds of times larger than that of the bronze coffin.

He only slowly stopped his hand once he had collected more than half of the remains on the Primordial Continent.

"That's enough," he said softly. "The rest... shall be left as seeds for the future."

A hundred years later, in the Far West, the Blood Sea churned.

Having absorbed the endless resentment of countless sentient beings, the Blood Sea became increasingly violent. If an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal stepped into this place, they would instantly be transformed into a puppet of the Blood Sea.

However, Jiang Chen was not affected in the slightest—he had long since refined the Samsara Underworld Soil, and the entire Blood Sea was under his control.

Standing at the source of the Blood Sea, Jiang Chen stood quietly upon the Samsara Underworld Soil.

"Gate of Samsara, open!"

With a low growl, the previously silent Underworld Soil shook violently, and a bottomless giant crack split open in the center.

In an instant, an extremely thick earth turbid qi erupted, sweeping out like a raging torrent.

Rumble—

The Blood Sea boiled, kicking up blood waves thousands of feet high, wild as a beast.

Jiang Chen immediately summoned the samsara purple lotus to suppress the surging turbid qi, then stepped into the Gate of Samsara.

Before his eyes was a vast, boundless dark void. Turbid qi, black as ink, filled every inch of space, enough to corrode the primordial spirit and devour one's intelligence.

"It is time to open up reincarnation."

In the darkness, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged atop the samsara purple lotus, his eyes slightly closed, as ripples of brilliant purple light radiated from his body.

Time seemed to freeze—perhaps for a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand, or perhaps an entire epoch had passed.

At a certain moment, his eyes snapped open. Two purple beams shot out like swords, piercing the darkness and illuminating the entire turbid domain.

Rumble—

The void shook violently. Endless turbid qi was drawn by his power, churning frantically and condensing into thousands of black lightning snakes that filled the surroundings.

The samsara purple lotus beneath him suddenly disintegrated. Its twenty-four petals transformed into twenty-four samsara divine swords, releasing a heaven-shaking power of reincarnation.

"Open!"

With a fierce shout, the twenty-four swords slashed in unison. Purple sword rainbows crisscrossed, shattering the boundless turbid qi and tearing through the void, causing the entire space to shake violently.

"Suppress!"

With another command, the lotus platform detached and transformed into a giant samsara millstone. It swallowed the turbid qi of ages and expanded rapidly, continuously stretching and stabilizing the shattered void.

At this moment, Jiang Chen rose, his body swelling in size, and a pair of giant wings slowly unfurled from his back.

As if baptized by the Law of Reincarnation, his wings turned from pure white to deep purple, and even his silver hair was dyed with flowing purple light.

Noble and majestic, he looked like the supreme sovereign in charge of the reincarnation of life and death.

Simultaneously, a vast and primal aura erupted from his body. The moment it appeared, the entire turbid space trembled violently as if meeting its natural enemy.

Pangu Bloodline, awakened!

"Roar—"

Jiang Chen let out a long roar toward the sky, the sound waves vibrating through the eight directions.

In the next instant, he took a step forward, entering the depths of the void held open by the samsara millstone.

"Sword, come!"

The twenty-four samsara divine swords merged into one. A purple divine weapon spanning a million light-years suddenly appeared and fell into Jiang Chen's hand.

With the sword in hand, Jiang Chen's aura suddenly boiled, breaking through the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and approaching the level of an Exalted One. His pressure was like an abyss, daunting all worlds.

He gripped the hilt with both hands and raised it high above his head, his voice echoing through the universe:

"Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

Boom—!

A purple sword light that tore through the nine heavens and ten earths slashed out. All the surrounding turbid qi was annihilated, and the void collapsed, turning into a dead domain where nothing existed.

When life reaches its extreme, it turns into death; when death reaches its end, it returns to life.

The intersection of life and death is Reincarnation!

Reincarnation seems simple, but in reality, it encompasses everything, for all sentient beings and all things in the world cannot escape its cycle.

Even the eternal and indestructible Eternal Chaos is subject to the constraints of the Law of Reincarnation. Every Great Derivation Epoch, it must undergo a complete reorganization.

There is only one way to break free from this law—Transcendence!

By surpassing the source of the Great Dao, jumping out of Chaos, and achieving the immortal true self, one can escape the shackles of reincarnation!

The Great Dao of Reincarnation ranks third among the ten supreme Great Daos, but its depth is not inferior to the Daos of Space-Time and Chaos.

If Chaos is all-encompassing and Space-Time is unpredictable, then Reincarnation is complex and profoundly difficult to understand.

Even though Jiang Chen had long since cultivated the Law of Reincarnation to the stage of Great Perfection, he was still unable to see its full picture.

For within it lay the flow of space-time, the crossing of fates, and the intertwining of creation and destruction. Many profound meanings were entangled like a web, difficult to unravel.

For instance, a single Chaos Great Derivation Epoch is one complete cycle of reincarnation; and within each epoch, there are countless fragments of space-time and world successions.

So far, what Jiang Chen could control was merely allowing a single Major Thousand Worlds to complete one cycle of reincarnation.

However, the Primordial World was not something an ordinary Major Thousand Worlds could compare to. It was an Eternal-grade existence that stood above them, far surpassing the sum of ten thousand Major Thousand Worlds.

Therefore, the place of reincarnation that Jiang Chen had opened was still incomplete.

To make it complete, a massive amount of source power had to be injected.

This was the very reason he did not hesitate to slaughter billions of sentient beings—all the killing was to nourish the Samsara World and accumulate the resources for its growth.

Only by doing so could he force the source of the Primordial World to acknowledge the existence of reincarnation!

Once successful, he would be able to control the cycle of life and death in the Primordial World and ascend to the supreme position of the Lord of the Earthly Dao!

Having already had the experience of opening the Corpse God Realm, combined with his current cultivation having reached the limit of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and given that this place was not the core of the Eternal Chaos—making the environment relatively mild—this creation was much easier than before.

In the blink of an eye, a kalpa had passed.

At the core of the turbid space, a vast and boundless world stood tall. It surpassed the scope of a Great Thousand and had been promoted to an Exalted-grade Great World.

(World level classification: Lesser Thousand, Middle Thousand, Great Thousand, Exalted-grade, Supreme-grade, Chaos-grade, Eternal-grade.)

This world was precisely the Samsara World created by Jiang Chen, occupying one-ten-thousandth of the entire turbid space.

Do not underestimate this seemingly negligible proportion—because the turbid space itself was as vast as the Primordial World, just this one-ten-thousandth covered the territory of over a hundred Major Thousand Worlds.

Jiang Chen stood at the summit of the Samsara World, his face haggard and his aura weak.

An entire kalpa of creation had taken a massive toll, leaving him nearly exhausted.

But the harvest was equally astonishing—his realm had officially broken through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm and stepped directly into the mid-Exalted stage.

At the same time, the Law of Reincarnation sublimated, evolving into the higher-dimensional "Reincarnation Rule."

Combined with his original Devouring Rule, two types of supreme rule powers were now being nurtured within his body.

Looking down at the magnificent world beneath his feet, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he looked up to the sky and declared loudly:

"Today, I, Jiang Chen, noting that the Primordial World lacks reincarnation and the souls of the dead have no place to return, specially open the Samsara World here to provide a path for the rebirth of all sentient beings. May the Great Dao bear witness!"

In an instant, the chaos outside the Primordial World underwent a sudden change.

The originally silent Outer Chaos shook violently. Endless chaos qi rioted and churned, as earth, wind, water, and fire erupted. Divine lightning crisscrossed, and astral winds howled, creating a world-shaking scene.

At the same time, thousands of anomalies appeared in the Primordial Heaven and Earth:

Purple qi pierced the sun, sweeping across the firmament;

Lotuses bloomed in the void, as golden petals slowly emerged from thin air;

The ten thousand Daos of Heaven and Earth resonated, playing a grand and magnificent sacred music of the Dao.

The members of the Undead Clan, who were in secluded cultivation, were startled awake one after another. They looked up at the sky, their faces filled with suspicion and shock.
