411: Reincarnation field

“Ding, congratulations on a successful match. Your opponent is Phoenix Bird.”

“Name: Phoenix Bird.

Ranking: 77.

Strength: Star-level Eighth-Order.

Evaluation: Extraordinary (enjoy a 300% challenge points bonus upon winning).”

“Please confirm whether to enter the Arena.”

Star-level Eighth-Order?

Lin Tianwei never expected to encounter an opponent with lower actual strength than himself in an Arena of this difficulty.

The information provided by the Law Arena could naturally not be wrong; the only possibility was that this opponent, only at Star-level Eighth-Order, was terrifyingly strong.

“Ding, you have confirmed entry into the Arena. Please wait patiently for your opponent’s choice.”

No matter how powerful the opponent, it could not sway Lin Tianwei’s unwavering determination. He would use his Claws to show his opponent who the true strong one was.

Facing Lin Tianwei’s almost instantaneous confirmation, this opponent named Phoenix Bird fell into hesitation.

In fact, he was also somewhat surprised by Lin Tianwei’s strangely low strength.

What right did a mere Cosmic Beast of Cosmic Level Seventh-Order strength have to stand before him and compete with him on the same stage?

Could it be that the other party was cheating, possessing some incredible ability?

Ultimately, it was Lin Tianwei’s ranking outside the top hundred that gave Phoenix Bird the courage to confirm.

No matter how formidable an opponent, without a Domain, he was nothing more than a local ruffian. He would let the other party know what a crushing battle felt like.

He only hoped his power wouldn't leave a psychological shadow on the other party, becoming a nightmare he could never escape.

Otherwise, he would truly feel guilty for nipping a Talent in the bud.

While speaking of guilt, Phoenix Bird had no psychological burden whatsoever, even planning to instantly kill Lin Tianwei at the start.

This feeling of nipping a Talent in the bud was truly wonderful.

If the other party truly developed a nightmare because of this, it could only mean that he lacked the heart of a strong one and was destined not to rise.

“Ding, the opponent has confirmed entry into the Arena. Please wait patiently for the Arena to begin.”

“Ding, the Arena has begun. The venue for this Arena is: Chaotic Domain.”

As the notification sounded, the scene changed, and Lin Tianwei once again arrived at the familiar Chaotic Domain.

However, at this moment, Lin Tianwei was no longer the same as before, and he no longer felt the initial discomfort.

Chaotic Domain?

Lin Tianwei could move like a fish in water here.

The moment he entered the Chaotic Domain, Lin Tianwei saw his opponent’s figure.

This opponent, named Phoenix Bird, was covered in burning crimson flames, with magnificent feathers, looking somewhat similar to the Legendary phoenix.

His true form was even more colossal, exuding a terrifying pressure, completely unlike a Cosmic Beast with only Star-level Eighth-Order strength.

The moment Azeia clearly saw Lin Tianwei’s opponent, his hanging heart finally gave up hope.

Lin Tianwei’s opponent was actually Phoenix Bird, this terrifying Cosmic Beast who controlled the Reincarnation Domain.

Don't be fooled by Phoenix Bird’s low strength, only Star-level Eighth-Order, appearing weak and easily bullied.

This was merely a disguise he used to farm points.

As a top-tier Reincarnator, Phoenix Bird appeared incredibly young, but in reality, he was a super old monster with at least ten million years of lifespan.

It was precisely because of this that Phoenix Bird was able to become the leader of District 19 with only Star-level Eighth-Order strength.

Living long isn’t scary; what’s scary is that Phoenix Bird also liked to pretend to be young, acting as a core member of those who exploit the Law Arena.

To put it nicely, it was preparation for his breakthrough to Domain Lord Level and achieving immortality.

But what the actual truth was, no one knew.

At least for now, he showed no signs of an imminent breakthrough to Domain Lord Level. Every time the hundred-year limit arrived, he would undergo nirvana in flames, live a second life, and re-enter the Law Arena to exploit it.

Yoris’s intense hatred for Lin Tianwei was largely due to the existence of Phoenix Bird.

Although there were no signs of achieving immortality, Phoenix Bird’s Reincarnation Domain had become increasingly proficient and powerful.

Even strong ones ranked around 50 could easily fall into Phoenix Bird’s trap if they weren't careful, being instantly killed by him.

Facing such a powerful Reincarnator, Lin Tianwei had no chance of survival!

Azeia quickly made his judgment, anticipating the end of this Arena.

Barring any accidents, this Arena could end within half a minute.

Under the terrifying power of the Reincarnation Domain, these Cosmic Beasts with lifespans of less than a hundred years simply couldn't endure, their Consciousness turning into nothingness in an instant.

If it weren't for the protection of the Law Arena, Phoenix Bird could even directly obliterate the enemy’s Consciousness, turning them into a mere husk with immense power.

The waiting time for the Arena to begin was not long. Just as Azeia had clearly judged the situation, the Arena officially began.

Giving Lin Tianwei no time to think, the moment the waiting period ended, Phoenix Bird transformed into a giant fireball and ignited.

The Reincarnation Domain also spread, covering the entire Chaotic Domain.

Even with Lin Tianwei’s ability to use Instantaneous Movement in the Chaotic Domain, he was helpless against such a rapidly expanding Domain that could cover the entire Chaotic Domain.

He was instantly drawn into the Reincarnation Domain, rapidly eroded by the pervasive power of reincarnation.

Something terrifying happened.

Taking the current time as a node, time began to flow backward, from body to Consciousness, and terrifying changes occurred in Lin Tianwei.

The first to be affected was this Berserk Giant Bear’s body. Even with its many terrifying Talents,

at this moment, before the endless power of reincarnation, it completely lost the ability to resist, began to trace back to its origin, and finally returned to nothingness, completely disappearing within the Reincarnation Domain.

Even the most powerful Cosmic Beast has a process of birth. Once reincarnated to before birth, returning to nothingness is its ultimate destination.

The same change was happening to Lin Tianwei’s Consciousness.

His thoughts and Consciousness began to constantly regress, retreating little by little towards the starting point of his birth.

Once it crossed the time node before the birth of Consciousness, Lin Tianwei’s Consciousness would completely turn into nothingness, dissipating into the universe.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Reincarnation Domain; it could extinguish countless living beings in an instant.

Of course, the Reincarnation Domain was not completely unsolvable.

In fact, it was precisely in the special environment of the Law Arena that Phoenix Bird’s Reincarnation Domain became so unsolvable.

Although the Reincarnation Domain was powerful, activating it required a massive amount of energy.

Phoenix Bird’s self-immolation was not him showing off, but him burning his own powerful life force to provide energy for activating the Reincarnation Domain.

In other words, every minute and every second the Reincarnation Domain existed consumed Phoenix Bird’s life force.

Only in the Law Arena, where infinite resurrection was possible, could Phoenix Bird do something like unleashing such a powerful move without a second thought.

In the real world, he could not casually activate the Reincarnation Domain.

At the same time, there would be no such young opponents, and using the Reincarnation Domain would likely exhaust his own life force before the enemy died.

The hundred-year age limit for connecting to the Law Arena, ironically, became Phoenix Bird’s guarantee of invincibility.

He was confident that he could completely reincarnate his enemy to their initial state before his own life force was completely exhausted.

It was precisely by relying on this terrifying ability that Phoenix Bird was able to secure a position within the top eighty in the Law Arena.

However, this time, the opponent Phoenix Bird faced was different from every previous time.

This seemingly terrifying Reincarnation Domain might be able to obliterate Lin Tianwei’s virtual body, but it was powerless against his Consciousness and soul.

Core Code (Extraordinary) (Incomplete): 1570 / 10000!

After a long period of hunting, Lin Tianwei had obtained a large number of fragments of the Talent: Core Code (Extraordinary). Coupled with the assistance of the Talent: Consciousness Datafication (Extraordinary), Lin Tianwei’s authority in the Law Arena was far greater than what all Cosmic Beasts imagined.

Forced Logout!

The moment he discovered a problem with his Consciousness, Lin Tianwei had already initiated a forced logout, allowing his Consciousness to return to his tiger body in the real world.

Only a trace of Consciousness remnants remained, barely supporting the Berserk Giant Bear’s body.

With the obliteration of the physical body, Lin Tianwei’s Consciousness was indeed obliterated.

However, what was obliterated was not Lin Tianwei’s true Consciousness, but merely a program running on autopilot.

Whether it was obliterated or not had no impact on Lin Tianwei whatsoever.

Although the Reincarnation Domain was invincible, it also consumed Phoenix Bird’s life force immensely.

Finally, the brilliant sun gradually extinguished, leaving only tiny candlelight, constantly flickering in the Chaotic Domain, as if celebrating its victory.

Phoenix Bird had reached his limit and could no longer release the powerful Reincarnation Domain.

Yet he was exceptionally excited.

Because he had seen victory in the completely vanished Lin Tianwei before him.

No beast could withstand the Reincarnation Domain he unleashed with all his might.

However, just as Phoenix Bird was smug and ecstatic, a terrifying Mental Power shockwave swept over, directly attacking the remaining ember.

Under normal circumstances, even if Lin Tianwei re-logged in, he would be replacing a Consciousness puppet that had completely turned into nothingness, utterly unable to launch any further attacks.

But Lin Tianwei was different; he could freely switch between Consciousness and data.

As long as his true Consciousness was unharmed, he could fully exert his proper strength.

Even so, without a physical body, he could only unleash Mental Power attacks.

Though not strong, extinguishing a tiny candlelight was as easy as flipping a hand.

Phoenix Bird, who had thought he had victory firmly in his grasp, was now wondering why the Law Arena had not settled the match. He never expected to face Lin Tianwei’s fatal blow.

The candlelight representing Phoenix Bird flickered rapidly, eventually vanishing into thin air with intense unwillingness.

Ultimately, Lin Tianwei won this battle.

Perhaps because the battle between the two was too profound and inexplicable, even after the Arena had completely ended, the spectators had not yet recovered.

: “Did everyone see who won just now?”

“Why did the battle suddenly end?”

: “Do you even need to think? Phoenix Bird definitely won.”

“That’s a top-hundred big shot in the Law Arena. Lose? How could he lose?”

: “But at the end, I clearly saw the candlelight representing Phoenix Bird extinguished.”

“If he didn’t lose, how could such a thing happen?”

: “You’re just easily surprised.”

“Phoenix Bird’s Reincarnation Domain itself consumes an extreme amount of life force, which is why he can play like that only in the Law Arena.”

“It’s common for him to play himself into such a crippled state.”

“In fact, many times, you don’t need too much combat power; you just need to be able to last for some time in the Reincarnation Domain, and Phoenix Bird will directly become impotent, sacrificing himself entirely.”

“However, to endure in the Reincarnation Domain, one must possess powerful Domain power.”

“Only the power of a Domain can contend with the power of a Domain.”

“Although Lin is strong, he ultimately did not reveal the power of a Domain. Under the mighty power of the Reincarnation Domain, he had only one path: death.”

“Alright, the Law Arena will announce the results soon. Let’s wait and see.”

“Alas, what a pity.”

“I borrowed from all my friends and family, and even didn’t miss out on Tongbao Bank’s usurious loans, only managing to borrow about eighty to ninety thousand yuan crystal.”

“At a one-thousand-to-one investment ratio, I’ll only earn about eighty to ninety yuan crystal in total.”

: “This odds is a bit too low.”

“Why not do the opposite and bet on Lin to win?”

“Just betting one yuan crystal could yield a thousand-fold return. This is an extremely profitable matter.”

: “A thousand-fold return? You’re really naive. Do you think the black market is a charity?”

“The fact that the black market can offer such odds indicates that Lin’s winning rate is less than one in a thousand.”

“If this wasn’t already the highest odds, the odds could even be as high as ten thousand, or a hundred thousand times.”

“Betting on Phoenix Bird to win only earns little, but betting on Lin is purely throwing money away, a complete loss.”

“Wait, brother, you didn’t bet on Lin, did you?”

“You wouldn’t do something so foolish, would you?”

: “Hehe, how could I do something so foolish?”

“But I have a friend who did bet a bit of yuan coin on Lin, just for the dream.”

“I also advised him not to be so silly, but who knew…”

This Cosmic Beast’s words were not yet finished when he suddenly paused, as if his attention had been drawn by something.

Then came a few quick gasps and a cry of “How is this possible?”

Because just now, the Law Arena had announced the result of this Arena.

“Winner: Lin!”

The whole place was in an uproar.

This was a result no Cosmic Beast had anticipated. Even Tastello, who felt Lin Tianwei had boundless potential and had been following him, did not believe Lin Tianwei would win.

That was a Domain, the powerful Reincarnation Domain. How could it fail to kill a mere Cosmic Beast that hadn't even touched the threshold of a Domain?

No matter how much they disbelieved, they could not change the result of this Arena, nor could they change the broadcast on the screen.

Some Cosmic Beasts even began to doubt life, wondering if the Law Arena had made a mistake, and how Lin could have won this Arena.

However, reason told them that the Law Arena could not possibly be wrong.

In the billions of years since the Law Arena’s establishment, it had never made a single mistake.

Investing?

What a foolish idea! (End of chapter)
