Chapter 302: Chapter 287: Xuan Ming Sacrifices Himself in the Great Reincarnation

It’s said that the Twelve Ancestral Witches invoked the Twelve Capital Heavens Godslayer Formation to counter the fourth Demon God, but the fourth Demon God was too formidable. Unscathed by the onslaught of the Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder, he directly killed Di Jiang and Zhu Rong.

"Great Destruction Technique!" The fourth Demon God launched three punches, each one shattering the physical body of an Ancestral Witch.

The physical bodies of the Ancestral Witches were unrivaled in strength, yet they seemed as fragile as tofu under the fists of the fourth Demon God, disintegrating into dust.

Yong Zi bellowed in an attempt to invigorate his Primordial Spirit, but to no avail, as the fourth Demon God grasped him in his palm and incinerated him with destructive fire instantly, reducing him to ash that was scattered by the flow of Chaos Qi.

"Too strong! I thought that now I could temporarily contend with the fourth Demon God, but it seems absolutely impossible. If he truly unleashed his full strength, with a single move, I would be reduced to dust!" Wukong saw it clearly as several Ancestral Witches were beaten to death by the fourth Demon God, not even leaving behind their corpses.

The fourth Demon God then cast a "Great" Dao Technique, annihilating the last of the Ancestral Witches, leaving only Xuan Ming alive. Afterward, he turned around, reaching out with a palm toward Wukong.

This palm breached the constraints of time and space, traversed yin and yang, and reversed the cosmos. It spanned millions of miles, leaving no place to hide.

"With my flesh and blood as sacrifice! Pangu’s Essence Blood, condense into Profound Yellow! Six Paths of Reincarnation, endless mysteries! Great Reincarnation Technique!" Xuan Ming exclaimed softly, breaking the bondage of the Great Divine Sound Technique, spinning her Primordial Spirit wildly into action at this moment and casting the formidable Great Reincarnation Technique.

The fourth Demon God was shocked. The Great Reincarnation Technique was an immensely profound "Great" Dao Technique, impossible to control, yet unexpectedly, a Heavenly Dao Saint could manifest it, which was utterly inconceivable! As Pangu was of Innate Taoist Body, and Xuan Ming was born from the turbid qi of Pangu’s Physical Body, she naturally had elements of the Innate Taoist Body. Moreover, she had fused reincarnation into one, achieving much, and had unexpectedly understood the most dreadful Great Reincarnation Technique.

Once the Great Reincarnation Technique was employed, all things would enter reincarnation, suffering the torments of countless cycles.

Wukong brought his hands together, with a Buddha seated cross-legged behind him, endlessly chanting. There is no joy in life, nor suffering in death.

The casting of Xuan Ming’s Great Reincarnation Technique shocked the fourth Demon God, slowing him down. Then suddenly, a six-colored great disk flew out, scooping up Wukong in front of the fourth Demon God, and instantly sent him into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The Reincarnation Disk shattered, turning into specks of light rain that scattered throughout various parts of the Chaotic World, untraceable.

"What, Sun Wukong has escaped! A miscalculation. I should have slain Xuan Ming first!" The fourth Demon God’s eyes blazed with red fury.

"Corporeal Disintegration, Divine Thought into Thunder technique!" With a light cry from Xuan Ming, all her Primordial Spirit Thoughts flew out, causing a sea of them to transform into Divine Thunder, blasting towards the fourth Demon God.

With a single palm, the fourth Demon God caught all the Primordial Spirit Thoughts, annihilating them into dust with a simple squeeze, not even allowing them to explode.

"Survive."

Those were the final words Xuan Ming left behind, barely more than a whisper.

The fourth Demon God was seething with anger, secretly thinking, "This Great Reincarnation Technique is extremely mysterious. Since Sun Wukong has been sent into Reincarnation, and the Reincarnation Disk is broken, it’s difficult for me to find him! Damn it, I didn’t expect Xuan Ming to have such a move, to actually have mastered the mystery of the Great Reincarnation Technique, it’s truly infuriating!"

Wukong, having been cast into Reincarnation, felt Xuan Ming’s demise at that moment and his heart ached unbearably. He couldn’t breathe and vomited a great amount of blood from his mouth. His Primordial Spirit instantly shattered countless thoughts, thirty billion of them turning into dust in the blink of an eye, oozing slowly from his nostrils, eyes, mouth, and ears.

"What’s happening... Didn’t we agree to do this together?" Wukong couldn’t help but roar in anger.

Xuan Ming, deep as an abyss, could never be the one to display the stance of a timid young girl. She was always dominant, keeping everything locked inside her heart, unsaid.

This plan was something she had settled on long ago—to use the Great Reincarnation Technique at the most critical moment to send Wukong into Reincarnation, while she herself faced the Immeasurable Calamity. It was a silent offering, a wordless sacrifice. Only at the end would the beneficiary suddenly realize and feel an inexplicable pain.

The fourth Demon God seemed to sense something and reached out in one direction.

But he grasped nothing, and Reincarnation had once again slipped away, nowhere to be found.

He had sensed the existence of Reincarnation because of Wukong’s roar, but now Reincarnation had once again slipped away into the unknown. This Reincarnation also relies on the mysterious existence beneath the Great Dao. Even a Great Dao Sage cannot trace it, let alone when it is manifested by the extremely powerful Great Reincarnation Technique.

The Great Reincarnation Technique is the most powerful among the "Great" Dao Techniques. It can cause all things to undergo reincarnation and the dead to revive. Everything is but an ant in the face of the Great Reincarnation Technique, which represents endlessness, the past, the present, the future, eternity... It encompasses the most mystical aspects of the Great Dao Principles and is exceedingly difficult to cultivate. With Xuan Ming’s fate being so prosperous, he had unexpectedly cultivated the Great Reincarnation Technique. The Great Dao Demon God had not anticipated this; his perfect plan was now disrupted at this moment.

Number Four Demon God emitted a terrifying fluctuation that shook billions of miles of the void around him, shattering all the surrounding space into Chaos. Even the Chaos Qi felt like it was about to disperse, such was the strength of this power! However, Reincarnation had long since fled far away, and it was now nearly impossible to feel its existence.

"Damn it, let’s go settle the scores with Hong Jun, Tong Tian, and Di Jun first. This time, let them experience complete annihilation for an entire Yuan! Shatter their nine trillion Primordial Spirit Thoughts." Number Four Demon God did not delay any further and directly approached the Chaotic World, intending to slay the last three Great Dao Sages of the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Earth Immortal Realm had completely shattered, countless continents turned to dust, and even the Heavenly Dao Laws had collapsed.

This was an act of helplessness. With mountains and rivers destroyed, no more living beings remained. Although the heroes had tried their best, they were still unable to resist.

This was a profound sadness and helplessness.

Wukong trembled all over; he had anticipated the shattering of the Earth Immortal Realm, but he had not expected that Xuan Ming would die and that he himself would survive. Like before, Xuan Ming sacrificed herself to block the Great Dao Demon God’s heaven-splitting, fatal palm strike meant for him!

With the Great Reincarnation Technique, Xuan Ming could have lived on, but she gave up this chance to survive, choosing instead for Wukong to live.

"Survive."

Such a heavy trio of words, spoken with such a plain tone, carried an undeniable determination. They echoed in Wukong’s ears like a demon haunting him.

A millennium dream, in a flick of a finger, past events like water, light as smoke; the tune has ended, people have dispersed, and upon waking from the old dream, a thousand years have passed...

"Great Dao Sage!!!" Wukong slowly uttered these four words. Only by becoming a Great Dao Sage would he not fail her.

Wukong suddenly felt a Divine Thought, the true essence of the Great Reincarnation Technique, yet it was unfathomably profound, beyond what could be perfected in millions of years in this world.

"The Great Dao is natural... I will scatter all my Cultivation Level, whether I can achieve the Great Dao with this one action. Perhaps, this path doesn’t lead anywhere, and it’s a walk of tens of thousands of years. But I hope that one day, I can fathom out a true path!" Wukong stood up, as the Reincarnation World began to turn.

His Primordial Spirit Thoughts exploded one by one in his mind. He had more Primordial Spirit Thoughts than other Saints, totaling a hundred billion. Previously three hundred billion had shattered, and now the remaining seven hundred billion exploded at once, leaving only a single grain retaining his memories.

With his Cultivation Level completely lost, he felt his power rapidly draining away. Heavenly Dao Saint, Primordial Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Superior Immortal, High Immortal... Earth Immortal, Refining Spirit Returning to Void, Refining Qi into Spirit, until finally not a trace of Cultivation Level remained and he couldn’t even feel the slightest fluctuation of Mana.

In fact, he could have tried to sever his obsessions. However, by doing so, he would conflict with the path he had been following all along. It could likely cause the Great Dao Golden Lotus to explode immediately, a very dangerous undertaking.

Three Corpses Severance, the Three Thousand Great Paths also ceased. Now, he sought to find a path, scattering all his Cultivation Level to start anew.

However, without any Cultivation Level, he no longer had control over the Reincarnation World. With a thunderous rotation, his soul was directly crushed to death, flung into the endless cycle of Reincarnation...

Reincarnation, most merciless.

Despite its ruthlessness, it moves us!
