Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

The spear of judgment pierced the core, and the chains of reincarnation transformed into a channel of guidance. After the Myriad Laws Immortal Venerable's ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma form let out a final, unwilling roar, its majestic body, constructed from pure immortal laws, could no longer maintain its stability.

"Snap... snap snap—"

Like the sound of ice shattering, growing more and more frequent, the cracks covering the Dharma body suddenly expanded and spread! The once dazzling and radiant body of the Immortal Venerable, flowing with the Milky Way of Laws, now crumbled from the inside out, like a shattered glass statue!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no raging torrent of energy. It was a more fundamental, more thorough disintegration. The very laws that constituted its existence, under Lin Xuan's judgment of reincarnation that pointed directly to the "flaw in the Dao," completely lost their sustenance and headed towards the final void.

The pupils of the ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma Form, which resembled a golden sun, rapidly dimmed and eventually extinguished completely, leaving only endless emptiness and unbelievable horror frozen within. Its towering body peeled away and separated piece by piece, transforming into the purest fragments of immortal laws, yet devoid of vitality and will, as well as boundless pure immortal essence.

These fragments and energy did not dissipate into nothingness, but were devoured and pulled madly by the countless open entrances to the cycle of reincarnation around them, like a ravenous beast!

The entrance to the Hell Realm spews scorching karmic fire, drawing in fragments of laws imbued with the meaning of punishment and suppression, intending to burn away their "sins" with endless flames. The vortex of the Hungry Ghost Realm emanates an eternal thirst, devouring the pure immortal essence, as if to transform it into resources to fill the void. The Animal Realm, the Human Realm, the Asura Realm... even the illusory image of the Heavenly Realm, all exude a powerful suction force, each seizing fragments of laws that resonate with their own characteristics. The Bridge of Guidance, formed from the Xuanhuang Yellow Springs, acts like a main thoroughfare, guiding the largest share of the shattered energy into the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, where, through the initial refinement of the Reincarnation Mark, it nourishes the entire Netherworld.

This scene was both incredibly shocking and incredibly bizarre.

A celestial dharma image representing the supreme authority of the Celestial Court, capable of easily crushing stars, was now like prey being devoured. Everything about its existence was greedily absorbed and digested by this newly born cycle of reincarnation, becoming nourishment for its own growth!

"No--!!!"

From the depths of the heavens, a roar, brimming with boundless fury and a hint of terror, seemed to echo from the infinitely distant Immortal Realm! It was the fury of the Immortal Venerable of Myriad Laws! He clearly sensed that his projection, imbued with a significant amount of primordial will, was not shattered, but rather… judged, disintegrated, and cast into the cycle of reincarnation! This was the ultimate desecration of his Immortal Venerable majesty, and a blatant challenge to the order of the Immortal Court!

However, separated by endless time and space, and by the special barrier of reincarnation in the underworld, his anger could not be unleashed immediately.

Within the Netherworld, as the Immortal Venerable's Dharma Image was completely devoured, the fiercely clashing and nearly collapsing storm of laws abruptly subsided. The sky remained a hazy gray, the earth remained dark, and the Yellow Springs flowed back into order. However, the aura of the entire Netherworld became even thicker and deeper. The space at the boundary, which had been torn apart by the Dharma Image's pressure, rapidly healed under the nourishment of the power of reincarnation, and even... subtly expanded outwards by dozens of miles!

The benefits of devouring a Celestial Venerable's Dharma Image (even if it's just a projection) are immeasurable! The pure Celestial Venerable-level law fragments and energy are a great tonic for the nascent Netherworld!

Lin Xuan hovered in the air, his figure swaying slightly, before finally landing slowly before the Underworld Palace. His face was as pale as paper, his breath weak. The ultimate judgment of reincarnation had almost drained all his mind and strength, and had also caused him considerable Dao injuries. But he forced himself to steady himself, his spine still ramrod straight.

His gaze swept over the damaged but rapidly recovering Netherworld, which was also undergoing a further transformation in its essence. He looked at the six Paths of Reincarnation phantoms, whose light had become more solidified after devouring the fragments of Dharma, felt the increasingly majestic aura of the Mirror of Judgment, and the Nascent Soul within his body, which, though dimmed, had gained a faint trace of indescribable profound Daoist charm.

Worth it!

All the risks and sacrifices were worth it!

He not only repelled the powerful enemy and preserved the Netherworld, but also took this opportunity to verify the potential of his own path of reincarnation, and even... devoured the Dharma form of a Celestial Venerable, laying a more solid foundation for his own future and that of the Netherworld!

"dominate!"

"Congratulations, Master! You have slain the Immortal Venerable's Dharma Form! Your divine might is unparalleled!"

Xuan Yue, the sorcerer, the commander of the Netherworld Legion, the Black and White Impermanence, the Judge Ox-Head... all the core members of the Netherworld were excitedly gathered around, their eyes filled with indescribable fervor and awe as they looked at Lin Xuan!

Suppressing the avatar of a Celestial Venerable! What an unprecedented feat! If word gets out, it will shake the entire universe and make countless ancient beings take notice! Even if it was just a projection, it still represented the power of a Celestial Venerable! For a Sovereign to be able to accomplish such a feat of rebellion within his own Netherworld while only at the Nascent Soul stage—his potential and methods are beyond the comprehension of ordinary logic!

Lin Xuan slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Although he was weak, his voice still carried an undeniable authority, clearly reaching the ears of every living being:

"The Celestial Venerable's Dharma form has become provisions for the Netherworld." "This battle was not my achievement alone, but the result of the united efforts of all beings in the Netherworld!" "Through this battle, my cycle of reincarnation has begun to take shape!" "The majesty of the Celestial Court? Nothing more than that!"

His gaze was like lightning, seemingly piercing through the barriers of the underworld, looking towards the direction of the celestial realm. His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a chilling killing intent and a resolute declaration:

"Immortal Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws? Shattering your Dharma form today is merely the beginning!" "One day, I will personally descend upon the Immortal Realm to sever your true body, thus upholding the cycle of reincarnation!" "Immortal Emperors? Wash away the heads on your necks, for I... will come with my sword to claim them!"

As the voice faded, all beings in the underworld were filled with fervor, roaring in unison: "We are willing to follow our sovereign, to conquer the immortal realm, and to reshape the universe!"

Despite his weakened state, Lin Xuan's Dao heart became even more unbreakable because of this battle, and his determination to slay immortals burned even brighter!

The shattering of the Immortal Venerable's Dharma form brought not only an increase in strength, but also the forging of an invincible belief!

He believed that once he had digested what he had gained from this battle and stabilized his realm, the gate to the Divine Transformation stage would surely open for him!

And only then will his war with the Celestial Court truly enter a new phase!

Deep within the starry sky, across countless realms, countless powerful beings secretly observing this place fell silent. The complete disappearance of the Immortal Venerable's aura and Lin Xuan's domineering declaration both foreshadowed the formal rise of a terrifying being capable of stirring up the winds and clouds of the universe!

"The Lord of Reincarnation... Lin Xuan..." An ancient being murmured the name, his tone filled with solemnity and an indescribable expectation.

The universe's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure, environment, and overall structure) may be completely altered by this earth-shattering judgment and collapse that occurs within the underworld today!
