The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

Palace of Eternal Life.

At this moment, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, sat in the center, flanked by numerous outstanding talents and supreme beings from various forbidden zones of life. In the center of the Hall of Longevity was a humanoid figure of blood-red flames, sitting cross-legged and burning fiercely.

Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, and all of them stared intently at the raging crimson flames, observing every change in their state.

They discovered that the crimson flames originated from the primordial phoenix fire of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, who was actively burning himself, returning to his origin from the inside out.

All his blood, energy, magic power, and lifespan were burned by the crimson flames, returning his already limited lifespan, magic power, and blood to their source, transforming them into the origin, in order to make a final gamble and undergo a final nirvana transformation!

The crimson flames burned for three days and three nights before completely burning away the lifespan, magical power, and blood essence of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor. Then, it was his turn to burn his ancient emperor body, the imperial laws he had cultivated, and even his primordial spirit.

Clearly, after his blood, qi, magic power, and lifespan expire, his ancient emperor body, imperial laws, and primordial spirit will also return to their origins for the final nirvana transformation.

This time, his ancient emperor body and imperial laws burned for a longer time than his blood, magic power, and lifespan. After all, his blood, magic power, and lifespan were already quite limited and could easily burn out. However, his ancient emperor body and imperial laws were immortal. To return them to their original state, they had to be slowly scorched and refined.

The crimson flames began burning from the ancient emperor's skin. After three days and three nights, he burned away his skin, and the imperial laws covering it began to collapse and dissipate, returning to their origin.

After seven days and seven nights, the secret realms within his body began to collapse. First, the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, then the Dao Palace, the Dragon Transformation, and finally the Immortal Platform Secret Realm. Even his decaying primordial spirit burned along with it!

"boom!"

Burning for ten days and ten nights, in an instant, from the inside out, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was burned through completely. The body of the ancient emperor turned to ashes, leaving only the ancient emperor's weapon, a phoenix-winged gilded halberd, in the void. The ancient emperor's weapon was enveloped in blood-red flames, and within the blood-red flames, a ball of blood-red essence floated and leaped, burning and leaping, as if it were nurturing life and waiting for rebirth.

If the crimson essence is burned away and the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor has not yet been reborn, then the rebirth has failed, and without a doubt, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor will vanish into nothingness.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Myriad Dragon Emperor, the Golden Ancient Emperor, the Immortal Granny, and others in the Immortal Source remained silent and speechless, but their hearts were deeply shaken.

Is this true Nirvana? It was so dangerous right from the start!

First, one must return to the origin, burning all blood, energy, magic power, and lifespan, burning the body of the ancient emperor and the laws of the imperial way, burning one's own decaying primordial spirit, burning, burning, burning everything, returning to the origin, turning everything into all the nourishment for Nirvana, just for the final Nirvana battle!
Clearly, Wanlonghuang, Xianmu, and the others could see that this kind of burning everything for the final nirvana meant they only had one chance, one failure, and they would instantly vanish!

After all, if one has burned away all their blood, energy, lifespan, physical body, laws, and primordial spirit, how could they possibly survive a failed Nirvana? Everything will turn into nothingness and vanish into thin air!

Seeing this, even the immortal Shen Pingkang couldn't help but exclaim, "This is Nirvana! Returning everything to its origin, utilizing it all, turning it into nourishment for a final gamble!" "Success means rebirth! Failure means annihilation!"

"Next, we'll see if Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix can comprehend the true meaning of Nirvana within the Phoenix Flame, truly be reborn from the ashes, and emerge from Nirvana!"

After saying that, he stared at the blood-red source and frowned slightly. He realized that the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was indeed in a very bad state and could not hold on any longer. As a result, he burned everything, including his blood energy, magic power, lifespan, physical body, laws, and primordial spirit, and returned to his original state. However, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's source was still just a little bit. His source was insufficient!
This lack of essence is a big problem. Just like Ye Fan in the original story of Shrouding the Heavens, who was about to undergo Nirvana and live out his third life, but was ambushed by the Undying Emperor, resulting in insufficient immortal essence in his body, Ye Fan almost died because of this and never truly returned from Nirvana. He had to rely on the Immortal Land to prolong his life and endured for a long time before he could truly return from Nirvana.

Therefore, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's insufficient source will naturally affect his Nirvana state and process. If he is not careful, he will be burned to ashes by the Phoenix Fire and disappear into nothingness!

Moreover, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, could also see that the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's origin was still filled with the aura of decay. This was to be expected, since the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's physical body and soul had long been decayed and rotten. After returning to their origin, their origin inevitably became tainted with the aura of decay.

To achieve rebirth, all the decaying energy must be refined and eliminated, which will further deplete the already insufficient essence of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor.

Sure enough, the crimson source continued to burn in the crimson flames. After another seven days and seven nights, wisps of decaying energy were burned out, and the crimson source became smaller and smaller. However, once the decaying energy was gone, the vitality within it became much clearer, stronger, and more vigorous.

This sight immediately caught everyone's attention. Was this the beginning of new life? The true start of rebirth?

Seven days and seven nights passed, and the crimson flames continued to burn the crimson source. However, as it burned, not only did the crimson source shrink, but the life force within it also seemed to become weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, everyone's expression changed again. Their very essence was about to be burned away, and their vitality was growing weaker and weaker. Was their Nirvana attempt about to fail?

Huang Xudao, who had been sitting, instantly stood up, about to rush over to save the crimson source. But at this moment, Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, waved his hand, causing him to fall back down. He warned, "This is normal! Nirvana is a struggle on the edge of life and death, a fight for survival. Your father is at a critical moment of Nirvana right now. Don't disturb him. If you rush over like this, you might just extinguish his life force completely. Nirvana is the most important thing that cannot be disturbed!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xudao's expression shifted uncertainly. He watched as the crimson essence within the crimson flames grew smaller and smaller, its vitality becoming weaker and weaker, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it.

He struggled internally, but in the end, he suppressed the urge to rush forward. Clenching his fists, he murmured with tears in his eyes, "Father! You must succeed in your rebirth! You must succeed in your rebirth!"

Perhaps his words were heard by the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's essence, so the life force within that crimson essence suddenly began to stabilize. Although it was still extremely weak and could be extinguished by a gust of wind, it was not truly extinguished.

This ignited new hope in Huang Xudao's heart. He stared intently at the crimson source, silently praying and waiting.
