Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 1091: Reincarnation (1)

Wang Posha was the first to sense the activation of the Chaos Net Heavenly Formation.

He felt a pulse of power from beneath Heaven City, a shocking energy surging.

And then countless people died, their death energy and wailing souls crashing into his mind like a mighty wave.

As a Child of Fate, his Divine Will was far stronger than that of other cultivators, allowing him to sense all this the most keenly. Then, he felt a majestic will descending from the heavens, and his body trembled as he cried out, "Master!"

In the Chaos Net Heavenly Formation, Tang Jie's aura was soaring.

He went from Heart Demon to Soul Transformation, Infant Tending, then Deification, all while Zoros and Flying Swallow watched in awe.

"How? How is this possible?" Flying Swallow cried out in disbelief.

Tang Jie was currently going from Deification to Soul Projection, the energy radiating from his body overwhelming Flying Swallow and Zoros.

But his power was still rising, ascending to a higher plane. It was on the verge of breaking out of peak Soul Projection into Immortal Platform.

When he entered Immortal Platform, the energy pulsing off of him became so great that it began to leak out of the formation, such that all of Heaven City could sense his vast will. The Flame Yang Domain cultivators wondered what was going on while the Rosecloud cultivators began to cheer in victory, for they could sense that Tang Jie's true strength had descended!

In the formation, Flying Swallow and Zoros were on the verge of collapse.

"No, this can't be! It's impossible!" Flying Swallow kept repeating the same thing over and over, Tang Jie's terrifying aura making it difficult to even think of raising her hand.

On the contrary, Zoros only became fiercer.

He knew that he had no other option, and a whistling came from his whirlwind lower body as a churning black cloud emerged. Shrieks of pain could be heard from this cloud, savage faces sinking in and out of its surface.

This was Zoros's strongest Divine Connection, the Sea of Suffering. All that fell into this Sea of Suffering would be assailed by countless ghosts, and because he was a Nether Emperor, he refined all the souls that entered this sea, making them a perfect pairing. When the Sea of Suffering emerged, even the strongest cultivator would fall.

When Zoros was an early-phase Nether Emperor, he had used this very ability to defeat a human Deification cultivator.

The Sea of Suffering could transcend cultivation level and was Zoros's strongest Divine Connection. Even when he had been put in a tough position earlier, he had still not used it, yet he had chosen to use it now.

But he was facing an Immortal, and what could even the strongest Divine Connection do against that vast gap in strength?

The sea of death slammed into Tang Jie, but it ran into a wall, and no matter how those waves raged, they couldn't break through that wall of air in front of Tang Jie. Death energy attempted to corrode his body, but it was dispelled by his Immortal Essence. The countless ghosts slammed into the white fog surrounding Tang Jie, but they were like moths to the flame, vanishing the moment they entered that Immortal Essence.

Tang Jie simply stood there amidst the Sea of Suffering, a tall and immovable mountain.

Flying Swallow was stunned at this sight, but she knew that there was no going back. Clenching her teeth, she shot a ghostly hand at Tang Jie.

In Tang Jie's eyes, it might as well have been the hand of a baby.

He blew a light puff of air, and this Nether Emperor's attack dissipated. Tang Jie then turned his gaze to Flying Swallow and Zoros, upon which a flood of Immortal Essence swept toward the two ghosts.

With just a single thought from Tang Jie, two Nether Emperors would die.

At this moment, Zoros shouted at the Yellow Springs vortex, "God above, please save me!"

A majestic will crossed over the spatial barrier and surged out of the vortex. Following that was a roar, but the roar concentrated into a sonic hammer that slammed into Tang Jie.

Tang Jie finally turned serious, his eyes narrowing. Immortal power swept out and neutralized this sonic attack.

Water gushed out of the vortex, transforming into four ghost hands. Two attacked Tang Jie while the other two seized Zoros and Flying Swallow.

Tang Jie had his Immortal power also gather into four hands to intercept the four ghost hands.

The two combatants were an Immortal and a Nether God. Both were on the same level of cultivation and both were attacking through a proxy. With such similar conditions, they found it hard to get an upper hand and fell into a stalemate.

But their stalemate spelled disaster for Zoros and Flying Swallow, who were sandwiched between these two great powers. Fortunately, Tang Jie and that Nether God weren't specifically targeting them, or else the two Nether Emperors would have been dead in seconds.

Even so, Zoros was still in immense pain from the turbulent streams of power raging around him.

He crazily howled, all the eyes on his astrolabe shining their brightest, and with him was Flying Swallow, also mustering all her strength. By setting their own life forces ablaze, they managed to push back the energies of Tang Jie and the Nether God a little, and they seized this opening to try and fly out of the formation.

Tang Jie glanced at them but didn't give chase. Zoros and Flying Swallow were lamps out of oil. Even if they escaped, they would be of no threat to him, so he couldn't be bothered.

But as the two Nether Emperors were fleeing, the Nether God suddenly grunted. "This matter isn't over, so how can you so easily retreat? Better to offer yourselves to the formation."

The two ghost hands made from the Yellow Springs grabbed the two to squash them to death.

"NO!" the two emperors screamed in terror.

But the immense pressure of the Nether God made their struggles pointless, and their souls were slowly forced out, transforming into motes of starlight and flying into the Yellow Springs vortex. The vortex grew larger and larger, and some entity seemed to be cheering within its depths.

Tang Jie was slightly taken aback by this sight.

The pressure on Tang Jie had abruptly lessened now that the Nether God was dealing with the two Nether Emperors, but Tang Jie didn't seize this moment to attack, instead activating his Celestial Eye.

The descent of his avatar's will meant that Tang Jie's original body could finally use some Dao Arts. But as the original body was still the vessel, there was still some resistance to the Great Dao, so he could only use it once.

And Tang Jie decided to not use this one chance to attack his enemy. After all, the Nether God's actual body wasn't here, so the outcome of this battle was meaningless. Far more important was the secret within the operational Chaos Net Heavenly Formation. Destroying it and saving the civilians being slaughtered was his first priority.

As the Celestial Eye opened, Tang Jie peered into the depths of the vortex.

He saw raging yellow waters that flowed from one end of the sky to the other, coming from nothing and going to nothing.

Something seemed to be twinkling in the deepest depths of the Yellow Springs.

He focused his vision, peering harder and harder…

Finally, he saw what was within the river.

It was an object that was constantly changing forms. It was a hook one moment, a scythe the next, and then a banner. All throughout its many transformations, it was covered in countless Dao Runes. This enigmatic and shining treasure was slowly rising to the surface…

"The Blade of Reincarnation!" Tang Jie cried out.

He finally understood what this formation was for.

This was still a refining formation, fundamentally the same as all the others. But it was fishing out not a projection, but the actual Blade of Reincarnation.

The entire Nine Nethers Feast had been for this purpose.

And now, with the activation of the Chaos Net Heavenly Formation and the offering of countless souls, the Blade of Reincarnation had smelled that most alluring bait and begun to rise from the river bottom.

The baits that were Zoros and Flying Swallow were particularly stimulating.

It trilled in joy and moved toward the Primal Souls of the two emperors, the waters of the Yellow Springs rising with it.

Tang Jie could sense that the Nether God deep in the Nether Domain was ready to seize the Blade of Reincarnation at the right moment.

This was all the scheme of this Nether God, with perhaps even Zoros and Flying Swallow included in his calculations. Flying Swallow originally wasn't planned to be bait, but two alluring delicacies was better than one. This made the Blade of Reincarnation ascend all the faster, and the Nether God's plan go all the more smoothly.

Tang Jie didn't know what would happen if the Nether God succeeded, but he was never in the habit of letting his enemies succeed. Thus, when he saw the Blade of Reincarnation and realized the Nether God's true goal, he shook his head.

"No!" he declared.

A powerful will extended from his eyes, pushing aside the waves and rushing at the Blade of Reincarnation.

"No chance!" The Nether God's fury was transmitted through his Divine Soul to Tang Jie, and the waters of the Yellow Springs shifted again, moving to attack Tang Jie as the two began to struggle to control the waters.

This struggle had no result, since their equal strengths meant that neither side could ultimately do much to the other. But for the Nether God, this was enough. Since his true body was back in the Nether Domain, without Tang Jie's interference, he could easily obtain the Blade of Reincarnation.

But at this moment, Tang Jie smiled and shouted, "Tang Chuan!"

The figure of Little Three, now Tang Chuan, emerged.

He swiped at the space in front of him, severing the flow of power from the Nether God.

Tang Chuan was not stronger than this Nether God, but when it came to Space, few were more formidable, and temporarily sealing off space so that the Nether God's hands could not reach presented no problem at all.

A moment later, Tang Jie's will entered the Yellow Springs, transforming into a dragon and rushing toward the Blade of Reincarnation.

"NOOO!!!" The despairing roar of the Nether God rang out in his ears as the dragon bit down on the Blade of Reincarnation.

Boom!

Tang Jie's mind shuddered as the scene before him changed.
