Chapter 603 The Demonic Spear Takes Life, The Place of Reincarnation

In September, Lanling City is bathed in gentle sunshine and caressed by a refreshing autumn breeze.

In September, some parts of the grasslands have already started to snow, and the weather is freezing cold.

A river of the underworld, like a giant python emerging from the deepest hell, suddenly appeared from the void and entered this icy wasteland.

The chilling aura carried by the River Styx was colder than ice and snow. Wherever it passed, the snowflakes in the air turned into thousands of frost flowers, which then shattered and scattered.

Boom——

A pale white ball of light fell to the ground like a meteor, crashing heavily into the snow and creating a huge crater, splashing up thousands of piles of snow.

When the white light dissipated, the prayer wheel inside was revealed, engraved with images of the six realms of existence. It was none other than Qilian Guanshi's natal magic treasure—the [Six Realms Reincarnation Prayer Wheel].

However, this natal magic weapon is now covered with cracks and its aura is extremely unstable, as if it might explode at any moment!

Inside the prayer wheel, Qilian Guanshi sat cross-legged, his chest stained with blood.

Tian Youpeng, the "Demon Spear," struck the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel with his spear, severely damaging its natal magic weapon. However, this was not the most fatal blow to Qilian Guanshi.

The most fatal thing was the collapse of the sacred mountain, which meant that the fate of the grassland nation was swallowed up by the fate of the great blue nation!
As the true ruler of the grasslands, Qilian Guanshi had the greatest control over the nation's destiny. Therefore, when the nation's destiny was swallowed up, he was the one who suffered the most severe backlash!
He originally expected that the national destiny devouring would take at least some time to complete, and he could use this time to get rid of the 'Demon Gun's' pursuit and then implement his backup plan.

As a result, Li Fei performed the Fengshan ceremony on behalf of the emperor on the ruins of the sacred mountain, accelerating the process of the nation's fate being consumed.

This completely disrupted Qilian Guanshi's plans, making it impossible for him to suppress his injuries any longer, and he was forced to withdraw from the void.

Qilian Guanshi's eyes were cold; even at the most dangerous moment, he remained calm.

"The Demon Gun will catch up here in a few minutes at most."

Qilian Guanshi made a rough estimate.

The Styx River, possessed by the Styx Ancestor, had the ability to traverse the void, making it faster than Tian Youpeng's movement speed using only spatial abilities.

Therefore, Qilian Guanshi was able to buy himself a little breathing space.

However, it is difficult to completely shake off the opponent, because the power of the Dao principles of the 'Demon Spear' still remains on the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel].

If Qilian Guanshi were given a period of seclusion, he could completely eliminate this part of the power of the Dao.

But he doesn't have the time right now.

"Cough cough."

A trickle of blood mixed with icy shards spilled from Qilian Guanshi's mouth. He suppressed the churning pain in his internal organs and the tearing pain in his soul, and his trembling fingers managed to form a hand seal.

The light dimmed, and the cracked Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel emitted a mournful hum before transforming into a faint stream of light that disappeared into his tattered robe sleeve.

"We can't stop yet!"

A strong will to survive sustained his battered body.

He gritted his teeth and channeled the violently surging true energy within his body. With great difficulty, a Wind Control Technique took shape, lifting his heavy body like a flickering candle in the wind, and pulling him crookedly from the cold snow.

The cold wind howled, swirling up snowflakes that lashed against his blood-stained robes. Qilian Guanshi's figure swayed in the air like a kite with a broken string, rising and falling, uncertain and unpredictable.

The backlash from the collapse of the nation's fortunes was like a leech, relentlessly gnawing at his foundation; the severe damage to the origin of the Dao made his perception and control of the primordial energy of heaven and earth as if separated by a thick barrier, blurry and sluggish. At this moment, even maintaining the most basic Wind Control Technique was like carrying a mountain on his back!

A ruthless glint flashed in Qilian Guanshi's eyes. In order to reduce the burden of control, he forcibly severed the delicate operation of 'isolating from the severe cold' in the Wind Control Technique.

call--

Having lost his last refuge, the fierce, cold wind on the snowfield was like a million poisoned ice needles, penetrating his thin clothes without any hindrance and piercing into every inch of his flesh and every bone marrow!
Qilian Guanshi gasped sharply, his body trembling uncontrollably, his teeth chattering.

The biting cold stole away the remaining body heat, and the exposed skin visibly turned bluish-purple, while the eyebrows and beard were instantly covered with white frost.

He hadn't experienced this bone-chilling cold and humiliation for over a century.

That was a very, very long time ago.

At that time, he was not yet the majestic grassland king who sat high on the sacred mountain and looked down on all living beings, but just a shepherd boy shivering in the cold winter wind, his lips cracked and bleeding, his hands and feet stiff and numb, who could only huddle next to the flock of sheep to draw a little warmth.

"Qilian Guanshi, you must never live that kind of life again!"

From the day he joined the Church of Fulfillment and became a formal sorcerer, he secretly swore an oath in his heart.

But unexpectedly, after many years, everything seems to have returned to the beginning.

The cycle of fate has drawn a cold circle in such a cruel way at this moment.
"found it!"

Qilian Guanshi suddenly perked up.

Not far ahead, he saw a cluster of tents.

A small tribe from the grasslands is temporarily residing here.

To find a tribe in such a frozen wasteland, he must be quite lucky.

Qilian Guanshi endured the excruciating pain caused by the fluctuation of his true energy and gritted his teeth to cast a spell.

His eyes suddenly lit up with a dark blue light as he looked at the tents in the distance.

"Ok?"

Qilian Guanshi quickly revealed a look of surprise and delight, "Is this the will of Heaven?"

Within this small tribe of fewer than a hundred people, he discovered a young man with extraordinary potential!

Li Ming died in Cuiqing City, scattering a portion of his Martial Saint's fortune across the grasslands.

Later, the Styx Ancestor also died on the grassland, and scattered all his fortune on the grassland.

So normally, the grasslands might indeed produce a few exceptional talents!

When Qilian Guanshi fled from Mingdu City, he did not deliberately choose an escape route; he simply fled based on his intuition.

After all, in his plan, he never considered that Li Fei might be able to storm into the capital of Ming.

He never expected that after escaping here, when he needed to find a suitable 'person', he would find someone with great fortune!

This made him believe that everything was fate.

Perhaps the Goddess of the Full Realm is truly protecting him!

Ironically, this Daman of the Manjushri sect, who was regarded by the world as the spokesperson of the god Manjushri on earth, was actually the least religious person.

But now, Qilian Guanshi truly hopes that the gods are protecting him.

He revived the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel, from which six spirits emerged.

Of these six Yin spirits, apart from the one refined by the Styx Ancestor, the other five had been fundamentally damaged by the White Flame Army's [Daytime Heart Flame], and white flames still remained on their bodies.

Qilian Guanshi's face was as still as water. His ten fingers intertwined and clasped together with difficulty and determination. Each hand seal seemed to have exhausted a bit of his strength.

As the last syllable of his obscure ancient incantation faded, the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel] suspended in mid-air suddenly emitted a deep, thunderous roar.

The runes on it lit up one by one, emitting a captivating, eerie light, and began to slowly rotate.

The vengeful spirit representing the human realm was the first to be affected. It let out a shrill scream filled with pain and resentment, and its entire soul was instantly crushed by an invisible force, collapsing with a bang!
But what it dissipated was not nothingness, but rather a thick, blood-red torrent containing countless thoughts of joy and sorrow, which violently poured into the body of the animal spirit beside it.

The animal spirit's body swelled and deformed violently under the impact of the surging power, but it could not withstand this overwhelming force, letting out a beast-like dying roar before following in its footsteps—

The soul exploded violently, scattering into countless dense, eerie green specks of light, like locusts.

These points of light did not dissipate; instead, as if fatally drawn, they surged forth with even greater resentment and malevolent energy, overwhelming the hungry ghosts of the hungry ghost realm.
The six realms of reincarnation are interdependent, with each realm giving rise to and devouring the other.

The five powerful spirits from the Hungry Ghost Realm, the Asura Realm, and the Hell Realm disintegrated one after another at this moment, like a lit fuse.

All the power, without reservation, surged forth like a tsunami into the body of the supreme and overwhelming Heavenly God Yin Soul.

Using this "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs" method, Qilian Guanshi temporarily obtained powerful reincarnation power, forcibly suppressed the turbulent true energy within his body, and recovered a portion of his combat strength in a short period of time!

After doing all this, he manipulated the yin spirit that the Styx Ancestor had transformed into to hide in the snow, and then he manipulated the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel] to carry his true form away into the distance.

After activating the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel and flying more than 30 kilometers away, the void behind him suddenly trembled violently.

A spear tip flashing with purple light pierced out from the void, like a demonic dragon extending its claw from the abyss!

Within a kilometer, the wind and snow ceased.

Qilian Guanshi did not turn around, but opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which merged into his natal magic weapon.

hum-

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel emitted a muffled thunderous roar, unleashing a surge of powerful reincarnation energy that crashed into the demonic spear thrusting from behind.

The spear, radiating an arrogant purple flame, ignored the power of reincarnation and once again pierced straight towards the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel]!
At the critical moment, a river of the underworld surged forth from the void, blocking the spear between it and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel.

The eerie atmosphere sent shivers down one's spine!
The demonic spear could not ignore the second layer of defense, and its momentum was somewhat hindered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qilian Guanshi manipulated the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel], propelling himself forward another thousand meters—

"Tian Youpeng!"

Qilian Guanshi's voice echoed across the snow-covered plain, "If we cooperate, you'll have the opportunity to kill more and stronger Peak experts in the future!"

Tian Youpeng remained silent, and Qilian Guanshi responded with a second shot that followed immediately.

歘——

A mournful, ghostly sound pierced the air above the snow-covered plains; this single shot made one feel as if they had fallen into the abyss!
Even the underworld will crack open, and even the River of Oblivion will be pierced through!
Qilian Guanshi followed the same method, first using the Dao of Reincarnation to unleash the power of reincarnation, then using the River of Oblivion to protect himself with the River Styx, using two consecutive layers of defense to block the Demon Spear's Path of Infinite Killing.

"As you have seen, I killed the Styx Ancestor. As long as I have time to completely devour his Dao principles, my combat power will at least be comparable to that of the River Suppressor Heavenly King!"

Qilian Guanshi did not give up trying to persuade Tian Youpeng, "Wenren Zheng of the Great Lan Dynasty is not yet fully recovered from his injuries and is no longer at his peak. Once I complete the Dao principles, if we add you to the mix, we can definitely destroy the Great Lan Dynasty by joining forces with Buddhism!"

"Wouldn't the benefit to your path of enlightenment be far greater if you killed Wenren Zheng with your own hands at that time than if you killed me now?"

Tian Youpeng still did not respond, but only kept firing his gun.

This 'Demon Spear' is known as the most lethal among the three demons, possessing extremely strong frontal assault capabilities and explosive power. Even if Qilian Guanshi is still at his peak, he needs to slowly accumulate power using the [Reincarnation] Dao principle before he has a chance to 'wear down' his opponent.

He is currently in extremely poor condition. Even though he has two Dao principles available, his control over the [Forgetful River] Dao principle is far inferior to that of the Styx Ancestor.

So after exchanging dozens of blows, even though Qilian Guanshi used every trick in the book, he was gradually forced into a corner by Tian Youpeng.

hum! ! !
The demonic spear pierced the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel once again.

click-

With a piercing shattering sound, a corner of this natal magic weapon was completely broken, leaving a large hole!
Qilian Guanshi coughed up blood again and fell headfirst from the sky.

"Tian Youpeng!!!"

He lay in the snow and shouted, "You!"

歘——

Purple flames descended like a demonic dragon, completely engulfing Qilian Guanshi and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel!
From beginning to end, Tian Youpeng did not exchange a single word with Qilian Guanshi.

This world's number one assassin is only here to kill.

The earthquake caused a massive shockwave, which blew up layers of snow from the ground, spreading them outwards and creating a storm.

A gaunt figure appeared at the edge of the large pit in the ground.

He was wearing a purple robe, and his long hair was dancing wildly in the wind.

Looking down into the bottom of the pit, Caoyuan Daman's body had turned into a blood mist, staining the soil at the bottom of the pit red!

The demonic spear, glowing with purple light, pierced through the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel completely, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Tian Youpeng remained silent, silently activating his [Unending Killing Path].

A chilling scraping sound emanated from the bottom of the pit, as if a monster was devouring something.
More than an hour later, Tian Youpeng put away his spear.

His aura became more refined and powerful, and with a slight tremor of his spear, it emitted a whistling sound that reverberated throughout the entire snowfield—

Purple flames shot into the sky, tearing through the sea of ​​clouds above, and a chilling killing intent seemed to freeze this space and time!

When the murderous intent dissipated and the wind and snow began to fall again, Tian Youpeng had already disappeared.

All that remained was the deep pit on the ground, the blood at the bottom of the pit, and the fragments of a prayer wheel that had lost all life.

Dozens of kilometers away, on the outskirts of the small tribe that Qilian Guanshi had previously passed through.

After hiding for more than four hours, the vengeful spirit that Qilian Guanshi had concealed in the snow finally cautiously revealed itself.

That's right, this was a backup plan that Qilian Guanshi left for himself.

His 'path' is based on the power of faith. The core tenet of the Fulfillment Sect, like that of Buddhism, is the same: reincarnation!
Suffering in this life, enjoying happiness in the next.

Therefore, the Dao of Qilian Guanshi is [reincarnation], which is also based on the power of faith.

When the fate of a grassland nation is in trouble, the power of faith will naturally also be affected.

As a result, the principle of reincarnation also became unstable.

Furthermore, with his natal magic weapon, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Prayer Wheel, severely damaged, Qilian Guanshi is now at risk of falling from his cultivation level!

Unfortunately, a demon was chasing after him.

Qilian Guanshi was indeed driven to a dead end!
However, he did not despair, because he still had a backup plan—

The Dao of the River of Oblivion!
Since the [Reincarnation] principle is unstable and carries the risk of falling into a lower realm, let's simply switch to a different principle!
Qilian Guanshi had been trying to completely devour the [Wangchuan] in order to complete his own Dao principles.

Unfortunately, he was forced to leave the country early before he could finish.

But precisely because he hasn't completely devoured the Dao of the River of Oblivion, he now has the opportunity to separate the two Daos again.

He wants to sever his own Dao of Reincarnation and switch to cultivating the River of Oblivion!
The Dao of the [Forgetful River] allows one to refine their true soul into a yin soul, thus surviving in another form.

This was a method used by the Styx Ancestor to save his life, but now it has become a method used by Qilian Guanshi to 'shed his skin like a cicada's shell'—

He pretended to be killed by Tian Youpeng, but in reality, he used the other party to accelerate the stripping away of the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River].

Finally, by borrowing the Dao principles of the [River of Oblivion], the vengeful spirit is 'reborn'!
In order to deceive Tian Youpeng, Qilian Guanshi did not hold back at all in his fight against his opponent, and truly gave it his all!

Moreover, what he said before was sincere; he genuinely hoped to persuade Tian Youpeng that joining forces with him would undoubtedly be a better choice.

However, Tian Youpeng remained unmoved.

Fortunately, the opponent's path was the path of assassination, not the path of insight.

Qilian Guanshi's true form is truly dead, and the fortune belonging to a top-tier expert has truly dissipated, becoming the "resources" for the 'Demon Spear' to become stronger!
Although the Dao of the River of Oblivion still exists, its fortune has dissipated, and the 'status' of the top powerhouse is no longer there. Therefore, even if Qilian Guanshi still has a lingering spirit, it only retains a slight connection with the Dao of the River of Oblivion.

It preserves the hope of regaining control of the Dao principles and returning to the pinnacle in the future.

Only by doing so could Tian Youpeng avoid discovering Qilian Guanshi's 'secret plan'.

Qilian Guanshi manipulated the Yin spirits to use a concealment technique and walked towards the small tribe ahead.

The person he had been looking for was someone suitable for him to possess with his spirit.

The true soul left behind by a sorcerer can only reside in an unclaimed magical artifact, and its power will continuously dissipate.

The Yin spirits refined by the Dao of the [Wangchuan] can reside in the bodies of living people, and can even take over the bodies of others!
The young man with great potential in the small tribe ahead is the perfect candidate.

Qilian Guanshi wants to borrow the other party's luck to gradually return to the peak!
The reason he had just distanced himself from the small tribe was because he was worried that Tian Youpeng would take action against them.

He didn't know much about 'Demon Gun' Tian Youpeng, but judging others by his own standards, he believed he wouldn't leave the enemy with any possibility.

It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!

So if he were to 'die' in this area, he felt that Tian Youpeng would likely choose to slaughter this small tribe!
Now that Tian Youpeng has left, no one can threaten him anymore.

Qilian Guanshi, controlling the spirits, entered this small tribe on the grassland and found his target—

A boy of about sixteen or seventeen was warming himself by a fire in a tent, chatting with several other children his age.

Envisioning the future.

A sudden gust of wind blew open the tent, nearly extinguishing the fire.

The boys shivered from the cold and quickly closed the tent that had been blown open.

In that instant, the spirit had already completed its possession.

"Chagan Bayar"

Qilian Guanshi easily crushed the boy's consciousness and obtained all of his memories.

Compared to his tumultuous life and his status as a powerful and influential figure over the past century, the life of the young man named Chagan Bayar has been rather unremarkable over the past ten years.

"From now on, Qilian Guanshi is dead, and what follows is Chagan Bayar's life."

Qilian Guanshi said this to himself.

"Jiejiejiejiejie"

A sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the depths of the ghosts.

"Who?!"

Qilian Guanshi was startled.

"The fortune emanating from this young man belongs to me. It is truly the will of Heaven, hehehehe!"

"Ancestor Styx? How is that possible!"

Qilian Guanshi was gripped by absolute panic for the first time, because he was gradually losing control of the ghost!

"Qilian Guanshi, do you think you have a complete advantage over me in terms of understanding and control over Yin spirits? You underestimate me!"

The Styx Ancestor, like a demon awakened from hell, laughed wildly.

He misjudged Qilian Guanshi's control over the Yin spirits, thinking that his secret actions within them had gone undetected, which is why he ultimately fell into the ambush.

But this does not mean that his abilities with spirits are completely inferior to Qilian Guanshi's.

When his spirit was about to be completely refined by Qilian Guanshi in the temple on the sacred mountain, he deliberately held back a move.

He was defeated by the Yin spirits, and even in this last resort, he still chose to rely on the Yin spirits, because he believed that his understanding of the Yin spirits was still superior to that of Qilian Guanshi!
Moreover, Qilian Guanshi has already defeated Styx Ancestor once in this area, so he might be careless.

As expected, Qilian Guanshi did not discover the methods he had left behind.

But this final comeback came under very difficult conditions—

If Qilian Guanshi had not refined all five other Yin spirits into this Yin spirit.

If Qilian Guanshi had not stripped himself of his own cycle of reincarnation.

If the boy that Qilian Guanshi chose to possess did not possess the fortune inherited from the Styx Ancestor.

Without so many "what ifs," the Styx Ancestor could not have turned the tide so easily.

Success and failure both stem from the spirits of the dead.

The shepherd boy from an ordinary tribe on the grasslands eventually vanished completely in another grassland boy from the lowest rung of society.

Thus, his own cycle of reincarnation was completed.
Inside the tent, the other boys suddenly felt sleepy and quickly fell fast asleep.

When the wind and snow outside stopped, a rosy-cheeked boy was the first to step out of the tent and look out at the world.

From this day forward, Qilian Guanshi is dead; what follows is Chagan Bayar's life.

P.S.: I'd like to recommend another of my older books—"My Kung Fu is Popular Worldwide."

This is a combination of entertainment and martial arts; currently, on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), my book is probably the only one writing this completely new genre. You should check it out, it's pretty good!
