Hell Emperor.

Chapter 640 Ashoka - The Holy Truth of Reincarnation
"ended."

Ye Jie spoke slowly, his tone revealing a hint of victory.

The battle with Ashoka once put him in a very unfavorable situation, and his life was in danger. He almost perished at the hands of this powerful figure from the ancient era.

Under immense pressure, Ye Jie's cultivation techniques also broke through. By refining his techniques to the level of the Great Dao, he was finally able to glimpse the primordial Dao that gives rise to all things, thus undergoing a transformative improvement.

With the blessing of the Path of Origin, even the mighty Ashoka eventually knelt on the ground, clearly powerless to fight any longer.

Ye Jie slowly reached out and caught the exquisite feather that drifted down from the sky, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips.

"Finally got it... So this is the Peacock Feather of the Bright King? Its design is indeed extraordinary. Even just holding it in my hand, I can feel the divine power flowing within it. With this, not only can I forge a true divine weapon, but my upcoming promotion to celestial official is also secured!"

Feeling the power of the Ming King Peacock Feather, Ye Jie couldn't help but smile. This item was the key that had attracted him here. After going to great lengths, he had finally obtained it. How could he not feel happy?

After carefully putting away the Peacock Feather of the Bright King, Ye Jie looked at King Ashoka in the distance. Among the ruins, the Peacock Feather of the Bright King was not the most precious thing. The most precious thing here was the understanding of reincarnation passed down from ancient times!

"By handing over your understanding of reincarnation, you will not be harmed, and everything in the ruins will be preserved."

Ye Jie glanced at Ashoka in the distance and spoke slowly.

Faced with Ye Jie's words, Ashoka slowly raised his eyes, and the meaning in his eyes made Ye Jie wary.

"You are not destined to receive this enlightenment. Do not expect to gain any insights into the cycle of reincarnation here. If you desire insights into the cycle of reincarnation, then seek them out for yourself: the Sacred Truth of Reincarnation!"

Ashoka spoke slowly, and the moment his words fell, the deep killing intent that had been shrouding him vanished without a trace. His body became clean and bright, the bloodstains were washed away, and in their place was only a clean white glow that stung the eyes.

A holy wheel appeared behind him. The power contained in the holy wheel was so strong that even space was completely distorted, light and shadow became blurred, and everything seemed to be completely consumed under the holy wheel.

"Oh no... he actually had such a deadly move hidden!"

Sensing the sudden change in Ashoka's aura, Ye Jie realized that the situation was dire. He hadn't expected that Ashoka, who had lost all power in his eyes and was left with only surrender, would still have such a terrifying killing move hidden! Once this move was unleashed, its power was no less than that of the Daoist scriptures that Ye Jie had comprehended. What it contained was the proud divine power of the cycle of reincarnation of all living beings, which even Ye Jie found difficult to resist for a time.

The sacred wheel spun, as if transforming into a gigantic millstone, emanating an endless attraction that seemed to drag all living beings into it.

The majestic and magnificent pagoda was ravaged by that powerful suction force. Its bricks and tiles crumbled, and its exquisite murals vanished. Anything caught in the holy wheel of destruction would be reduced to dust in an instant. No matter how exquisite and magnificent the pagoda in the ruins was, its fate was the same.

Even Ye Jie's heart was in his throat. Even though he possessed the Dao Scripture, if he were caught in the millstone, his soul would be scattered in an instant, without any other possibility. The so-called Sacred Truth of Reincarnation was so powerful!

The only saving grace was that the Samsara Sacred Truth hadn't finished accumulating its power, which gave Ye Jie a chance to escape. Having finally discovered a glimmer of hope, Ye Jie certainly wouldn't let this hard-won opportunity slip by. He immediately grabbed the gray-robed man beside him and, before all things were dragged into the Samsara Sacred Truth, hurriedly escaped from this place.

Even after Ye Jie left the ruins, a loud explosion came from the void behind him. If Ye Jie hadn't left in time, his final fate would probably not have been good.

"That was close... What kind of move was that? Even a Daoist scripture composed of Daoist cultivation techniques couldn't withstand it..."

Recalling the ultimate killing move used by King Ashoka, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. That move was quite terrifying, and could even be described as annihilating everything.

After refining the Great Dao Techniques into a Dao Scripture, Ye Jie thought that with his current strength, he would be one of the most powerful beings in the entire Three Realms, able to roam freely wherever he went. Dealing with the current guardians of the ruins would be a piece of cake for him. Little did he expect that King Ashoka had hidden such a terrifying killing move.

This battle also made Ye Jie realize that, despite possessing the Dao Scripture, his strength was still nothing compared to the rest of the world. If he wasn't careful, he might not be so lucky next time.

Sensing the increasingly powerful reincarnation intent deep within the ruins, Ye Jie took a deep breath. He had no intention of returning. If he didn't leave quickly, he feared that before long, the surrounding hundred miles would be swallowed up by the Sacred Truth of Reincarnation, and then he wouldn't be able to escape.

However, one question remained in Ye Jie's mind: what level of technique had Ashoka just used? Could it be that there really was a level stronger than the Great Dao in this world?
Meanwhile, the gray-robed man's expression was unusual; it wasn't one of relief and relief at escaping death, but rather one of lingering excitement and exhilaration.

"The move he just used... there's no mistake! No, I must report this to my lord as soon as possible..."

From his words, Ye Jie seemed to have gleaned something and couldn't help but ask:

"From what you're saying, do you perhaps know the origin of the move he just used?"

The gray-robed man nodded. If it weren't for Ye Jie's rescue, he would probably have already died under Ashoka's Samsara Truth. He immediately replied:

“Indeed… If I’m not mistaken, what King Ashoka just performed was the supreme Buddhist art, the Noble Truth of Samsara among the Four Noble Truths. This method contains profound meanings of Samsara and is the most supreme Dharma.”

"Yeah……"

Ye Jie took a deep breath. No wonder the power of the move was so terrifying that even the Dao Scripture could not withstand it. He was almost dragged into the millstone manifested by the power of reincarnation, but fortunately he managed to escape in the end.

However, the gray-robed man's words made Ye Jie scratch his head. According to him, there were not only four kinds of sacred truths, but also the Sacred Truth of Reincarnation.

If even one of these powers is so terrifying, one can only imagine how terrifying the other three must be. This discovery left Ye Jie with a slightly bitter feeling. He had finally managed to comprehend the Dao Scripture, only to suddenly discover that there were at least four other powers that could rival it. How could he not feel a sense of awe?
Ye Jie shook his head. In his arms, the Mingwang Peacock Feather was still lying there perfectly fine. Although he had not gained any insights into reincarnation on this trip, he had at least obtained the materials he urgently needed.
