Chapter 899: Chapter 899
The massive frame within the Abyssal Rift cast a suffocating shadow over all who witnessed it.
Atop his ten-thousand-li manifestation, Miao Ya looked down at Li Pin as he charged toward him with sword in hand.
"If you truly want to see..." Miao Ya extended his hand. "Then use those pitiful eyes of yours... and witness what true power looks like!"
The starry sky behind him began to churn violently. A vortex took shape, swirling like a galactic system. At its center, countless stars radiated a brilliance so intense that it blinded all who dared to look.
The star river surged backward.
In that moment, Creator Miao Ya truly demonstrated what a real "star river reversal" looked like, right before everyone's eyes.
That enormous river of stars twisted and coiled like a spiraling starbelt, bursting with dazzling brilliance as it surged toward Li Pin.
It was so massive that even in the Abyssal Rift, where no rules applied, it still stretched for hundreds of thousands, even millions, of li. Its width alone spanned tens of thousands. There was no dodging, nor escaping it.
But Li Pin didn't back down. He continued to advance forward with his sword. Just as the spiraling starbelt was about to crash down on him, he raised his sword high. The Six Path Wheels behind him blazed with divine light. His sword gleamed, and that light slashed straight into the river of stars. Wherever it passed, planets and stars shattered and disintegrated.
Li Pin struck at a vulnerable point in the starbelt. With a single blow, he sliced it apart. A chasm tens of thousands of li wide tore open in the middle of the galactic belt.
To sever such a span in one strike meant the energy unleashed from his strike had spread beyond a hundred thousand li.
Such terrifying power left Qiu Yu, Yang Guang, Zhong Yan, and the others stunned, their scalps tingling with fear.
They even began to question whether they were still in the Abyssal Rift or if they had already fallen back into the Material World.
After all, in a place like the Abyssal Rift, who could possibly unleash such boundless, overwhelming power?
In the direction of You Ying Palace.
Miao Zhuan was in a daze as he murmured to himself, "The power of Eternal Oblivion... is gone."
Yes. It no longer existed.
An attack of this scale, which clearly exceeded the Astral World's limit, should have instantly triggered the Eternal Oblivion Force. But nothing happened. What else could best describe it other than nonexistent?
Even Divine Emperor You Ying was having a hard time accepting it.
Whenever they used power beyond the Astral World's limit, the Eternal Oblivion Force would descend.
But now... both Li Pin and that mysterious powerhouse from beyond the Abyssal Rift were freely unleashing strength that shattered all limits, yet the Eternal Oblivion Force acted as if it didn't even sense them.
If they had to face someone like that, they'd be caught in a bind. Go all out, and the Eternal Oblivion Force would consume them. Hold back, and they wouldn't be able to fight back.
It would be no different from stepping into battle with their hands and feet bound by the Eternal Oblivion Force.
Sword in hand, Li Pin cleaved through the starlit galaxy that had fully formed within the Abyssal Rift.
But Creator Miao Ya's expression didn't change in the slightest. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI-Fire.ɴet
As Li Pin charged forward with his sword, the severed galaxy behind Miao Ya stirred as if it had a will of its own. Following some strange law, the broken starlight began to swirl like a vortex, merging and converging, until it reformed completely.
At the same time, the starry region reversed its flow, curling into a circular formation with Li Pin at its very center. Then, it began to spin rapidly, like a whirlpool.
Li Pin struck again, slashing at the swirling galactic vortex. At first, his sword light was just as overwhelming as before, tearing through thousands of miles and annihilating countless stars. But as it advanced, the rotating stars and planetary phantoms began to crash into the Eternal Swordlight.
With each collision, that once unstoppable sword light grew weaker. After obliterating tens of thousands of stellar phantoms and pushing forward several more thousand miles, the sword light ground to a halt, shattering under the relentless impact of those rapidly spinning illusions.
Even more terrifying was those stars and planets that Li Pin had destroyed hadn't vanished. They had only fractured.
And now, within the vortex's high-speed rotation, those shattered celestial bodies began to reform, regenerating through transformations in matter and energy.
In the end, it was as if Li Pin's sword strike had done nothing at all.
Li Pin muttered, "This is..."
"The power of reincarnation," Miao Ya picked up where Li Pin left off, his eyes filled with an inexplicable melancholy as he looked at Li Pin.
He seemed to be caught in the memories of some unbearable past.
"Back then, when we were cast out of this universe, we had only two choices if we didn't want to disappear into the Void of Chaos.
"One was to completely sever our path and become absolute nothingness, one that no matter, energy, time, or space... could perceive. Then fuse with the Void of Chaos itself, becoming what you call Oblivion Lifeforms.”
His eyes grew cold. “And the other... was to face death head-on, to survive where none should, to transcend life and death... and grasp the truth of Reincarnation, reaching a brand new realm."
He closed his eyes, silently feeling the endless, ever-turning cycle of Reincarnation. "So many of our kind fell along the way. Only a rare few of us... endured."
Li Pin looked at Creation Miao Ya. Having been cast into the Void of Chaos and forced to survive there. It wasn't hard to imagine how desperate things had to have been for them. To say they had clawed their way back from death was no exaggeration.
But... that alone meant nothing.
"All these years, we've been waiting. Waiting to uncover the doubts buried in our hearts. Waiting for the moment when the truth would finally come to light. Who... was it that brought us to this point?"
Miao Ya opened his eyes, now rekindled with a new light of hope. "Today, that moment is finally within reach. But it's up to us... to uncover the truth."
He looked at Li Pin. "So, no matter who tries to stop me, or stop us, there will only be one outcome that awaits them."
In the next instant, Miao Ya thrust out his hand. The starlight belt surrounding Li Pin, formed entirely of planets, stars, and even neutron stars, suddenly began spinning at a speed dozens of times faster than before.
Trapped at its center, Li Pin was like a grain caught between grinding millstones, taking blow after blow from every direction as the starlight roared around him.
In the midst of it all, a chilling wave of spiritual will echoed in his mind, filled with cold, iron-blooded killing intent. "Be ground into dust!"
Li Pin quickly struck back. The Eternal Swordlight in his hand flared violently. But instead of pushing it to pierce through time and space, he now poured everything into his speed.
With time compressed to its limit, his sword slashed out at an unimaginable pace.
In a single breath, he unleashed dozens, hundreds, thousands of strikes.
Each beam of swordlight could pierce hundreds, even thousands of li through the starry river ahead.
But the starlight zone was spinning and colliding far too fast. Even the swordlight was shattered again and again by the crashing stars and planets.
Each clash between them triggered hundreds of thousands, even millions of impacts in an instant.
And as the battle went on, the shrinking starlight belt kept tightening around Li Pin, leaving him less and less room to maneuver.
It was clear that once the belt collapsed completely, he would be crushed into nothing.
Li Pin stared at the overwhelming starlight that filled his vision. "This has already gone beyond what 'ceaseless' can describe."
At that moment, his mind raced at its fastest. Reincarnation represented life and death, illusion and destruction.
He immediately thought of quantum superposition. Then came the idea of existence and nothingness. Then, Dao begets One, One begets Two...
To master this kind of law is to grasp infinity, true immortality itself. Not the kind of immortality born from matter and energy conversion. Instead, my very existence would become immortality.
He would surpass existence, surpass nothingness, surpass life and death, and even surpass reincarnation itself.
Unless someone could use their own being to completely cover his, or rather, use their own immortality to invade and erode his, then to any lifeform that hadn't reached this level, he was untouchable. Because everything about him had already entered a constant, unchanging state.
For anyone below that realm, no matter how they attacked, they would not harm him in the slightest.
Li Pin's expression slowly turned serious. "A qualitative change..."
There has never been a true qualitative leap between the Heavenly Emperor, Divine Emperor, and the Supreme.
The Supreme only holds far greater power in scale. But now, what Creator Miao Ya is showing is a true sign of qualitative transformation.
Through his understanding of Reincarnation, he had fully grasped existence and nothingness, life and death, creation and annihilation.
To him, these are no longer opposites, but simply different forms of the same thing.
Perhaps, they only needed to take one more step and comprehend the truth of Karma... then they would grasp infinity itself.
Not just maintaining a constant state, but continuously improving their own state, then locking in that improvement. Advancing again, then locking it in again... letting their strength grow endlessly, forming an eternal, infinite growth.
Just thinking about it made him realize how terrifying such a state would be. And at the same time, how incredibly vast and awe-inspiring that realm was.
Karma... Reincarnation...
This was the realm of Liberation he had once imagined. This was the true form of Liberation he had envisioned.
In that moment, it all became clear to Li Pin. A quiet realization settled in, mixed with emotion. "So this is what Liberation truly means... It's so much stronger than the Supreme Realm..."
The gap is even greater than the difference between an Astral God and a Supreme. Forget about comparing it to the Supreme Realm, even the entire universe probably couldn't match the final form of this power. Just the descent of my True Form... might be enough to collapse a universe.
"Miao Ya, you were right. It was my limited perspective... that held back my imagination. I actually tried to compare the Supreme Realm... to Liberation."
While maintaining the Eternal Swordlight, Li Pin gave a sincere bow to Creator Miao Ya. "Thank you for letting me witness the true form of Phantom Space Technique after its qualitative transformation into Liberation."
In the next moment, the power of Reincarnation began to flow from within the Great Dao Radiance.
He began using the Great Dao Radiance...to simulate the power of Reincarnation.
