85: Chapter 85 The Sixth Son Descends, the Lord of Reincarnation!

This shocking sight brought the world to a standstill.

Imperial Capital of Great Xia.

Eastern Wasteland.

Every corner of the Mortal Realm.

Every living being who witnessed that scene was completely stunned.

Their worldviews were shattered to pieces.

Blowing away the Chaos Divine Demon Tribulation with a single breath?

The mind simply couldn't wrap itself around such a thing.

They didn't even dare to imagine it.

But the shock brought by Li Xuan was far from over.

The myriad Daos of heaven and earth were crowning the new Emperor.

Golden lotuses drifted down from the sky.

The Great Xia Divine Dynasty took on the atmosphere of a divine kingdom.

Deep within the inner palace.

In a bedchamber shrouded in auspicious clouds, the cry of a baby rang out.

"Waa—"

The crying seemed to contain a magical power.

No sooner had the sound echoed.

The world, which had just regained its clarity, changed once again.

This time, it wasn't world-destroying thunder.

Nor was it universal auspiciousness.

An ancient and grand aura descended from the Nine Heavens and rose from the Nine Serenity,

instantly enveloping the entire Mortal Realm.

The light of the world was drained away.

The sky was no longer blue.

The earth lost its color.

All things were left in black and white.

Dead silence.

Desolation.

"Again?"

In the Golden Throne Hall, a Holy Lord had just regained his strength.

His legs went weak as he tried to push himself up.

Seeing the sky, his vision went dark, and he collapsed to the ground again.

He muttered tremulously.

"Ancestors, did we poke a nest of gods today? Is there no end to this?"

The several Imperial Lords beside him turned pale.

Staring at the eerie world, their chests felt tight, making it hard to breathe.

They were terrified.

Before they could understand, a magnificent scroll unfurled across the firmament.

Rumble.

The phantom of an ancient stone mill appeared out of thin air in the center of the sky.

It was boundlessly massive.

It was composed of the "Dao" and "Reason" of the entire world, turning slowly.

With every rotation, the shadows of countless living beings wailed, sank, were liberated, and were reborn within it.

Surrounding the stone mill were six massive vortices, each with a different aura.

One vortex was wreathed in immortal light with divine music playing; it was the Deva Path.

One vortex had soaring Killing Intent and boiling Battle Intent; it was the Asura Path.

One vortex was filled with flickering shadows and the billowing Mortal World; it was the Human Path.

There were also the animal path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the hell path.

Each vortex led to a real and cruel world.

Six Paths of Reincarnation.

These four words needed no explanation, ringing directly in the hearts of all living beings.

"My goodness..."

A Saint King who had lived for over ten thousand years collapsed to the ground.

He pointed at the sky, his lips trembling.

"That river... it's the Yellow Springs, isn't it?"

Looking where he pointed.

A murky, cold, illusory river spanned the black and white world, with countless remnant souls floating upon it.

Upon the river stood a simple, ancient stone bridge.

The Bridge of Helplessness.

On the bridge were ghost messengers with blurred features, handing soup to souls whose faces were also obscured.

The soup emitted a chilling aura.

Drink the soup, forget the past, and enter Reincarnation.

These scenes that only existed in myths were now vividly displayed before the entire world.

Gulp.

Countless people held their breath in focus.

Li Xuan blowing away the Emperor Tribulation earlier was domineering, an unreasonable display of strength.

The Diagram of the Six Paths of Reincarnation before them evoked the fear and awe of all living beings toward the end of life.

Everyone knew that such a celestial phenomenon could not appear out of thin air.

A supreme being who wielded this Dao must have descended.

Connecting it to the sound of the baby's cry.

A startling realization dawned on everyone.

It couldn't be, right?

Surely not...

Inside the bedchamber, behind the bead curtain.

Li Xuan held his newly born sixth child and smiled with satisfaction.

It was a baby boy, fair-skinned and adorable, just like his previous children.

He had stopped crying and was looking at his father curiously with a pair of pitch-black eyes.

At the center of the baby's brow, a tiny Reincarnation Mark was slowly rotating.

The mark was composed of six strange runes, emitting a ghostly light that made the myriad Daos submit.

It was this mark that had triggered the overwhelming phenomena outside.

Born with the Samsara Holy Body.

Born with the Diagram of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he had provided the beings of the Mortal Realm a free, grand spectacle of the "end of life."

[bite! The host's sixth direct descendant has been detected. Congratulations, host!]

[Descendant Name: Unnamed]

[Physique: Samsara Holy Body (Natural Great Emperor Potential)]

[Talent: Wielder of Reincarnation. Naturally able to communicate with the Six Paths, overlook the Yellow Springs, and possess the supreme authority to decide the rebirth of living beings!]

[Evaluation: Life belongs to my family. Death also belongs to my family. A perfect closed loop, worth promoting!]

The System's notification tone even carried a hint of amazement and absurdity.

The reward notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host! Due to the birth of your sixth son with the [Samsara Holy Body], your cultivation is rewarded, rising from the [Early Stage of the Emperor Realm] directly to [Emperor Realm Peak Perfection]!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Chaos-grade supreme Divine Ability—[Great Samsara Technique] (Bzz...) Error detected, correcting...]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Chaos-grade supreme Divine Ability—[Great Samsara Technique] Bzz... Correction failed.]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Chaos-grade supreme Divine Ability—[Great Samsara Technique]!]

Boom.

The System's rewards were incomparably overbearing.

Li Xuan's body underwent earth-shaking changes in an instant.

The Emperor Realm he had just broken through to was like a boundless sea of stars.

Now, every inch of this sea of stars was being filled with infinite Divine Power and Great Dao Laws.

Early stage, middle stage, late stage, Peak.

Perfection.

This process might take other Emperors hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

For Li Xuan, it was but an instant.

His control over the world's Laws reached a pinnacle.

With a thought, he could reverse time and reshape space.

With a single glance, he could erase a Saint King from their very source, leaving them without even a chance at Reincarnation.

This was the power of Emperor Realm Peak Perfection.

The summit of the Mortal World.

The end of cultivation in this realm.

"Great Samsara Technique."

Li Xuan savored the extra information in his mind, the smile on his face deepening.

This was not a technique; it was authority.

It was the highest administrative privilege of a back-end GM.

With it, Li Xuan could ignore rules and freely view anyone's past and present lives, as well as their karmic entanglements.

He could pluck a heinous Devil Head from the hell path and stuff them into the Deva Path, making them a Child of Luck in their next life.

He could also cast a sage of immeasurable Karma into the animal path, never to rise again.

He could even sever someone's path of Reincarnation and imprison their true spirit in the void to suffer endless loneliness.

Deciding life and death?

It was far more Advanced than that.

This was a dimensional reduction strike on the very form of life's existence.

"Interesting."

Li Xuan looked at the son in his arms, who was oblivious to his own abilities and was reaching out to grab his hair, and chuckled.

"In the future, if anyone from my Li family is bullied, not only will I seek revenge in this life, but even if you reincarnate to the ends of the earth, your father can still drag you out and give you another beating."

He spoke these words nonchalantly.

Yet they were beyond doubt.

He gave his sixth son, who came with a "Netherworld back-end," a fitting name.

Li Lunhui.

Li Xuan was feeling happy.

Outside.

The terrifying phenomenon of the Six Paths of Reincarnation finally dissipated.

Heaven and earth returned to clarity.

In the Golden Throne Hall, the Holy Lords and Imperial Lords, whose legs had gone numb from kneeling, collapsed on the floor in exhaustion.

Their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

A mixture of relief and fear left their minds in a state of Chaos.

"Is it over?" someone asked with a trembling voice.

"It seems so..."

"Too terrifying. I swear I never want to experience that a second time in my life."

A Holy Lord scrambled up tremblingly, a sob in his voice.

"I just want to know if the phenomenon of the Six Paths of Reincarnation just now is related to that taboo existence who blew away the Heavenly Tribulation."

This was exactly what everyone wanted to ask.

To the side, the Emperor of Great Xia, Li Zhan, had long since regained his composure, his expression full of pride.

Hearing the question, he gave them a nonchalant glance.

His tone was flat, yet it made those who heard it feel a twinge of envy.

"Oh, that was my sixth uncle, who was just born."

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

The Holy Lord who had asked the question rolled his eyes back.

With a thud, he fainted.

The others who were still awake were utterly astounded.

It was as if they were watching the most absurd play in the world.

The one who wielded the Six Paths of Reincarnation and struck terror into their hearts was actually just a newborn baby.

This family...

Just what kind of monsters are they?
