186: Chapter 186 The End of the Nine-Death Immortal King

"Don't worry, he won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Even after witnessing the fall of seven full Immortal Kings, Xu Jinhuan remained unmoved. His expression was calm and composed, as if he were perpetually high above, always holding the winning hand.

"Senior..." Such a demeanor did not put Yun Mengli at ease; instead, it made her heart flutter with apprehension, fearing that Xu Jinhuan was merely blustering.

If a person is overconfident, they are either very capable or a fraud—and in practice, the latter is often more probable.

Though the heavens and earth are vast, the Daos of the Endless Immortal Domain are fixed. Among the Three Thousand Great Daos, there are only fifty paths to heaven that can give birth to a Peak Immortal King, known as the Fifty Fruit Positions.

This Nine Deaths Immortal King once sat high upon a Fruit Position. Even if less than one percent of his strength remained today, he wasn't someone a mere top-tier Immortal King could handle; even a Giant-level Immortal King would find it difficult.

Therefore, Yun Mengli's worry only increased.

Sharing the same thought was the Nine Deaths Immortal King himself. He stared fixedly at the little fellow, his newly restored eyeballs rolling incessantly. The whites of his eyes were rapidly covered with dense, hideous bloodshot veins, like the ugly eyeballs of a ghost from Hell—it was nauseating to behold!

"Hahaha, laughable! Do you really think this seat is like those hesitant wastes? Even if you have a heaven-defying background, this seat will kill you all the same. Who let your Physical Body be so enticing?" He laughed loudly, his Divine Sense moving frantically as he tried to find Xu Jinhuan's weakness to deliver a fatal blow.

However, Xu Jinhuan gave him no openings. Or rather, in the eyes of the Nine Deaths Immortal King, there were openings everywhere, yet they also hid fatal dangers. While observing, his right eyelid twitched frantically; the flesh there was almost ready to tear away from his body, as if the moment he acted, an irresistible force would erase him on the spot.

Damn it! What exactly is going on?!

The Nine Deaths Immortal King grew increasingly irritable. As an old survivalist who had lived over a dozen lifetimes and experienced multiple deaths and resurrections, this strange sensation had saved his life more than once. Thus, he had always trusted his intuition unconditionally. This bearded man before him definitely hid a world-shaking secret!

But after staring at Xu Jinhuan for a long time, the Nine Deaths Immortal King still couldn't find the source of the threat. He couldn't even see through Xu Jinhuan's specific Realm; it was as if he were just a human dao domain Cultivator found anywhere in the outside world, not in the Immortal Realm at all.

Such an abnormal situation made him afraid to make any move, fearing he would trigger some mysterious method hidden on the opponent.

"Hehe, what impressive means. It seems you must have a treasure hidden on you capable of resisting a Peak Immortal King. I misjudged you!" The Nine Deaths Immortal King continued to stare at Chu Xuan as he spoke, thoughts of retreat already surfacing in his mind.

Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan spoke indifferently, his tone mocking:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems your status as a Peak Immortal King is quite inflated. To be so cautious against a mere top-tier Immortal King like me, you really are trash."

"Don't think provocation will work. This seat has seen through it; as long as the means on your body aren't attacked, they won't be triggered. Everything you do and say is just to lure me into attacking!" The Nine Deaths Immortal King roared in response. As he spoke, he even began to believe himself, revealing a knowing smile as if every word he said was the absolute truth, striking directly at his opponent's weakness.

"In that case, I'll just deal with that girl directly. Why bother clashing with a turtle like you?"

"Hahaha! Kid, just watch helplessly as your beloved woman dies without a whole corpse before your eyes and falls forever into Avici!"

The power of death followed like a shadow, spreading rapidly along with the sound waves. In an instant, it reached Yun Mengli; the closest sound wave was less than a foot away from her.

However, at that moment, the power of death within those sound waves abruptly vanished.

In the next instant, a power that surged between life and death—ceaseless and ever-reincarnating—spread out. The two Great Daos of Life and Death were manifested to their absolute limit by this power, cycling endlessly and turning into a torrent that surged toward the Nine Deaths Immortal King.

It was as if this power had already walked the paths of Life and Death to their very ends!

In fact, it truly had. it possessed all the power and insights of the Dao of Life and the Dao of Death, and added to them the knowledge of how the two transform: death within life, life within death, living towards death, and dying for life.

The Power of Reincarnation, the Samsara Great Dao!

This was one of the supreme methods left behind by the Reincarnation Immortal King!

Xu Jinhuan had invoked the Power of Reincarnation left by the Reincarnation Immortal King of old to suppress the Nine Deaths Immortal Stele and eternally seal the Nine Deaths Immortal King!

This was the method the Reincarnation Immortal King used to prevent the Nine Deaths Immortal King from making a comeback. After the passage of long ages, its spirituality had mostly faded, but because Xu Jinhuan's comprehension of the Samsara Great Dao was almost on par with the Reincarnation Immortal King, he could easily utilize it.

This was also a trump card he had mastered from the beginning, though he hadn't expected there would actually be a time to use it.

"Impossible! How could you possibly invoke the methods left by the Reincarnation Immortal King? Could it be that the shackles on your Realm have been completely unsealed?!" Facing the power of the enemy who had once suppressed and killed him, no matter how powerful the Nine Deaths Immortal King was, he couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

In his eyes, this was almost an impossibility!

"Hehe, there are many things you don't know."

Xu Jinhuan's expression was solemn as a massive amount of divine light erupted from his body, brilliant and magnificent. Regarding this opponent, he had anticipated this from the moment he saw the stone stele.

"For example, that you are about to fall apart."

Guided by Xu Jinhuan's fingertips, the divine light fell upon the enemy in an instant, immediately producing a sizzling sound. Along with it, the Power of Reincarnation emanated.

"You are nothing but a pile of withered bones crawling out from the long river of history. Today, you shall surely rot!"

In the next moment, the scene seemed to freeze. The Power of Reincarnation struck with earth-shattering force, carrying the dense Samsara Great Dao of Life and Death, pouring down like a torrent with immense lethality.

With a bang, the Nine Deaths Immortal Stele—which had stood in the center of the Small World for countless ages without falling—had another corner sliced off.

Although the Nine Deaths Immortal King immediately retreated and shifted laterally, using every trick in his arsenal to avoid the strike, it was still too late.

The overwhelming power of Life and Death and the Samsara Great Dao washed over him like a rainstorm, acting like countless unavoidable blades that continuously carved the Nine Deaths Immortal King's body. Starting from his head, countless wounds rapidly spread to the soles of his feet. Wherever they passed, flesh exploded inch by inch, causing him to let out a shrill, agonizing scream. The scene was incredibly gruesome; anyone with a weak stomach likely wouldn't be able to eat for half a month.

After an unknown amount of time, that piercingly shrill wail finally vanished. Simultaneously, the Nine Deaths Immortal King was gone. From his Physical Body to his Divine Soul, he suffered a sudden death—both form and spirit destroyed, his life extinguished.

As light feathers drifted and the Reincarnation ended, Xu Jinhuan slowly walked to the spot where the Nine Deaths Immortal King had dissipated. He gathered his Origin and simultaneously operated the Ancient and Modern Nine Deaths Great Law of Burying Heaven and Destroying Earth in reverse to search for the last bit of his true spirit.

Ninety percent of the Origin was found.

The wisp of immortal true spirit condensed by the Ancient and Modern Nine Deaths Great Law of Burying Heaven and Destroying Earth was also found.

"You actually..."

The true spirit pulsed in terror, wanting to say more.

*Pfft—*

Xu Jinhuan had already squeezed hard, completely snuffed it out.

"Noisy."
