Chapter 132: The Barrier of Reincarnation
Am I not my own pathetic worm? A pathetic worm forever? A pathetic worm without a trace?
Is God talking about me? I instinctively didn’t believe it because I didn’t want to believe it… everything he said was even more terrifying than being scattered to the four winds.
But I repeatedly told myself not to believe it, but my mind was unable to calm down, because instinct is instinct, and the true subconscious in the depths of my heart is uncontrollable. The subconscious tells me that all of this is true, and that I will really face such an ending.
God looked at me with a strange smile. Of course, he didn’t feel any sympathy for me. He was really very happy to see my pale face and panicked expression again.
What’s worse, the huge shadow of his raised hand had completely condensed into a deep blue palm. That was the special color formed by the overlapping layers of the blue soul power!
“How long do you think you can imprison me?” The god looked at me with an arrogant look in his eyes. As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and grasped the void… I was shocked when something happened. He actually… actually used his own power to break free from the confinement of the star power?!
How could this happen? I couldn’t believe that this god had become so arrogant, but the words of the god kept echoing in my head. Man is the spirit of all things, and the little bit of spiritual energy in man is the advanced source of power in the universe… If this is the case, is spiritual energy also a power that can rival star power?
The answer was already self-evident. The deep blue, solid hand had firmly grasped one of the star forces… Then, at that moment, the god’s face suddenly turned red, and he shouted, “You ants will never understand. I am the true emperor here. As long as the river of fate behind me does not dry up, I will never be defeated or destroyed by you…”
“Get up!” As he spoke, the god shouted, and I thought that the magnificent star power was actually slowly lifted by the shadow of the big hand.
No, this cannot happen. If the god really breaks free from its confinement, all the efforts we have made and the sacrifices of those who have fallen one after another will be in vain. Although my mood was very chaotic at the moment, I still knew what I had to do.
So I quickly sat in meditation, clenched my hands in the same way as the movements of the heavens and earth, and began to chant. Originally, the star power was naturally suppressed, but with the help of these “auxiliary” methods, the suppression of the star power can produce many changes, but only some changes, not the power of the star power will change.
The god grabbed the nearest star, the Tianxuan star, with his hand. I used the mantra to mobilize the power of the Tianxuan star, and then the power of the Tianxuan star overlapped with the power of the Tianxu star, and once again, the power of the two stars converged and suppressed the god.
“Ah…” The god let out a roar, and his face, which had originally been flushed, bulged out at his temples. The river of fate behind him roared even more fiercely, and more and more soul power surged toward him.
Unexpectedly, the suppression of the combined power of the two stars was again blocked by him… He looked at me and smiled, then roared again: “Poor worm.”
My heart was sinking into the cold, but the hand gestures on my hands kept changing. Since the two stars were no good, then…
Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang… In the midst of the ceaseless changes in the hand gestures, the star power of one star after another kept suppressing the god.
In fact, this is very dangerous. Destroying the natural suppression of the star power ‘formation’ will greatly reduce the effect of imprisonment. The seven star powers were originally only used to suppress him, but he forcibly broke through, and it is very likely that his soul will be crushed by the superimposed star power.
However, in this tug-of-war, neither the god nor I had any choice. While he was going crazy, I was equally crazy.
At this time, my eyes were red. Controlling the star power was not an easy task. It was like a young child wielding a sledgehammer. It took a lot of effort just to lift it. In addition to devoting my whole body and soul to controlling the star power, I was also under tremendous pressure.
In contrast, God looked even more disheveled than I did. His white robe was broken, and his veins were bulging. His upright body was now leaning, and one knee was almost on the ground, while the other leg was struggling to support it.
We used the most advanced magic, but it looked like a primitive struggle between two men… The process was painful and anxiety-provoking.
“Chen Chengyi.” At this time, it is not only unnecessary to say a superfluous word, but even having a superfluous thought is a laborious thing. I did not expect that God would call me out in such a breathless manner.
I looked up at him with bloodshot eyes. I didn’t answer, but in this tug-of-war, I didn’t have the river of fate as my backing, and I was much more exhausted than the god.
“You can’t imprison me. Just like the universe and the earth, can it imprison one person? Two people? So ten people? Twenty people? So…” As the god spoke, the river of fate roared even more fiercely. Before, it was a few drops of blue water floating up from the river, gathering strength and rushing toward the god. Now, it was a stream of water floating up from the river, rushing madly toward the god.
Then he screamed again, and the suppression of the seven stars finally loosened, shaking uncontrollably, and was slowly lifted by him.
He looked at me with a gloomy smile, and at this time, I couldn’t think of any way out. Could it be that… At this moment, I couldn’t help but glance at the master. If the star power was lifted, a gap appeared, and he could calmly escape the suppression of the heaven and earth steps. What about the master?
At the moment I turned around, I saw that my master, who had been motionless and seemed to be struggling, suddenly opened his eyes. The next moment… the same seven streams of star power descended from the sky…
The same as the most passionate music, watching the moment when the master opened his eyes, my heart suddenly relaxed more than ever… Then he began to quickly withdraw the technique, allowing the seven star forces to return to their original positions.
“Fuck him!” The god, who had always deliberately made himself look suave, could not help but let out a curse at this moment. Then the deep blue hand was crushed by the overlapping power and scattered in the air, returning to the river of destiny.
“I was just a step too late. You’re bullying my apprentice here?” The master walked towards the god step by step. Although his voice was a bit tired, his tone sounded exceptionally relaxed.
Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth Steps that Master and I had completed together did not produce any unusual phenomena. The so-called bright north pole should be considered a failure now.
After the two forces of the seven stars had returned to their original positions, they were once again entangled together, and at this time, the god was finally completely imprisoned. However, at the same time, the river of fate behind him could not be imprisoned, and it was still behind him, swirling and flowing in this place…
Is this the end of it? I couldn’t help but think to myself that since I fled, and now the battle has begun, I already have a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion, and I really hope that this battle is over.
But the expression of the god who had been imprisoned again, suddenly calm, made me feel that this thought was probably just my wishful thinking. The master stopped next to me, just like me, covered in blood, looking particularly disheveled. It was probably because the feeling of dizziness had not yet disappeared, or maybe he was too tired. The moment the master stopped next to me, he swayed a little.
I quickly reached out to support my master, but at that moment, I had a strange feeling, that is, is this person really worthy of my respect? As soon as this thought came to mind, I wanted to slap myself in the face. He is my master, why isn’t he worthy of my respect? Is this my thought?
I was a little distracted, and my master, who was standing next to me, seemed to have read my thoughts. He suddenly reached out and patted my hand, saying, “I’m getting old. Chengyi, you’re ahead of me.”
“Master…” I didn’t really feel that I was ahead of my master. There was another reason for this, but I couldn’t explain it. Could it be that there was another me helping the current me?
“No matter what, you have me.” In response to my words, the master said this inexplicably, then looked at the god coldly.
“Hahaha, what a deep master-disciple relationship! You, the master, are really shameless. When will you stop hiding from your disciple? Or do you think you are qualified to be the master of a real Taoist disciple who is about to appear? However, it is also true that if your disciple is really going to disappear, it is normal for you not to give up a little at this time.” My brief exchange with the master was interrupted by the god, and the words he said made my hand holding the master’s arm suddenly tighten, and the whole arm began to tremble uncontrollably.
I was about to completely lose my composure… The fact that I had been deliberately ignoring was finally completely dragged out of the water by this god, forcing me to face it.
“Chengyi, calm down.” The Master’s hand holding mine suddenly tightened. He suddenly shouted, looked at me seriously with his eyes, and forced me to calm down.
“Hahaha, why didn’t you say anything, you master? Don’t say you don’t know about this! When you and I fought, I used your existence to calculate your disciple’s fate. You must know this fact very well.” I don’t know why the god is repeatedly provoking me and my master.
Does he think that by provoking us, he can escape from this dual world? When he was fighting with me just now, I could actually feel that I had almost used up all the spiritual power in this river of fate to resist the star power!
So, I don’t know why I was also completely angry, and shouted at the god, “Shut the fuck up!”
“What? You feel it too? Are you scared? If it were another you who appeared now, you would never have yelled at me like that. You would have looked at me coldly and said, ‘Do you think you’re qualified to judge me? Hahaha… That’s how it should be. He’s about to appear, unless you don’t use any magic in this space.” The god laughed arrogantly, and I was so irritated that I couldn’t help but rush over and punch the god twice.
But at this moment, Master once again pulled me over, put his hands on my shoulders, and looked at me seriously and said, “Chengyi, we need to rest. As long as this river of fate exists, this god will never be destroyed. Don’t let him confuse you. Don’t forget the third secret technique that your master taught you.”
“But, Master, what do you know?” I was completely confused. I had no way of calming down.
My master sighed and pulled me down to sit next to him. He then took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and said, “First, take this. It’s a very precious thing that can restore some of our strength in a short time without any side effects. We need time to complete this task thoroughly, and he also needs time for his final duel with us. What you need now is calmness.”
My hands trembled as I took the porcelain bottle from my master, and two warm yellow pills fell out. We each took one and shared it.
The warm medicine dissolved in my mouth and I calmed down a little, but the great unease in my heart still made my hands cold.
“Chengyi, do you remember when you were a child? It was the very beginning, when you were just born. You probably don’t remember, and you probably only heard about it from your parents, right?” After swallowing the pill, Master suddenly began to talk about my childhood.
It was also a memorable past event. I was involved in the beginning of my relationship with my master, but because I was a small child, I had no memory of it. I didn’t understand why my master brought it up at this time, but memories are always warm. When he said this, I subconsciously nodded, and my heart was slightly relieved.
“At that time, you were as thin as a kitten. Your parents tried everything they could, but they couldn’t stop you from getting weaker and weaker… You must know the reason why, because at that time you were possessed by a hundred ghosts. As for why you were possessed by a hundred ghosts, it was because…”
“It’s because I was born a boy.” My father had said this many times, so many times that I could almost recite it by heart. I couldn’t help but interrupt the master.
The master looked at me, his eyes full of the warmth of memories and love for me, and then said to me, “Actually, you don’t have to be afraid of anything… The situation that the god said was nothing more than you touching your past life, and the deepest part of your soul surging out. To put it simply, you broke the barrier between reincarnations. This kind of thing has actually happened before! This guy wants to possess your life, and this is also what you want from the deepest part of your soul!”
What?
