“Eh?” Esteemed Nebula was startled by Chu Xingran’s easy acceptance. He was already drawing breath to launch into a speech of threats and bribes. “Are you really going to be my representative in this land?”

“Naturally,” Chu Xingran nodded. “Not even Your Eminence can save Xie Tianxun after he’s been struck with my poison curse. But if one as illustrious as you truly wishes to seek revenge, then a minor fifteenth level sequence person such as me would never be able to withstand your wrath.

“But how will you make it worth my time?” Chu Xingran grinned merrily at the spectacular palace in front of him.

“What do you want?” A cloud of golden radiance rose from the building and formed a faint humanoid shape. “How about I take care of your betrothal to the Dafeng miss?”

Everyone knew about the marriage proposal between Chu Xingran and the Dafeng Clan. Rather than a beautiful tale for the ages, it was a colossal joke. Darklake was no small kingdom—it was a divine nation of the many worlds in the outside realm. As its crown prince, all eyes were on Chu Xingran.

“Your Eminence… not only am I Darklake’s crown prince, but I am now also His Majesty Azure Dragon’s foster son. He took care of that betrothal long ago,” Chu Xingran smiled faintly. “And with my status, one percent of the azure dragon treasury is open to me…”

“So what do you want?” The Esteemed Nebula immediately understood. Chu Xingran probably thought nothing of ordinary treasures. He wanted more and better baubles.

“I want this Golden Dao Palace of yours. Might Your Eminence be willing to part with a beloved treasure?” Chu Xingran’s grin broadened when he looked at the dazzling cluster of buildings.

Esteemed Nebula’s form stared at Chu Xingran for a very long time before he chuckled, “Now isn’t this a nice plan? I can pierce through the barrier around the Land of Reincarnation only because of my personal treasure, and even then I am here just in mind. If you take my palace, that means the end of my interests in this land.”

“So you’re not a complete idiot,” Chu Xingran laughed and stomped on the struggling Xie Tianxun, crushing him to death.

The golden palace trembled from the force of Esteemed Nebula’s fury and the aureate cluster crumbled away, vanishing with the esteemed personage.

Chu Xingran’s smile slid off his face after the other left; solemn gravity replaced it instead. If the Esteemed Nebula could send people into this land, that meant other powerhouses in the outside realm could do the same.

“Should I tell Lu Yun about this?” Chu Xingran looked sideways in thought, then shook his head. “Nah, everything shall be left to his own devices. It looks like the Land of Reincarnation really is about to come to an end. None of this occurred in the previous loops.”

He faded away as he mused over recent events. Since his karmic ties to the land were severed, he should not further involve himself in its affairs. That would just cause him to sink back into the cycles with no end in sight.

Although his primary body was in the outside realm, this land was very special. It was highly likely for his bodies to unexpectedly switch places and his primary body be substituted for his replica.

……

Lu Yun knew nothing of what’d taken place in the western reaches.

The world of immortal dao sequence was a place where immortal dao sequences formed and a door to accessing sequence. Only through possessing such a world did one have a way to activate sequence, and immortal dao was the only great dao in the Land of Reincarnation that boasted of its own world of sequence.

Lu Yun sat amidst immortal dao sequences and accessed three levels in a row, raising his strength to unfathomable heights compared to before.

“Why do I feel a little uneasy?” He opened his eyes and frowned faintly to the west. “Something important seems to have taken place there.”

“Father!” Lu Qing’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind. “A disturbance comes from the darkness and I can’t suppress it this time.”

“Okay, I hear you.” Lu Yun nodded, stood up, and vanished on the spot.

Where Mount Astronomia held back the darkness was the only opening for the dark to invade the primary worlds. Although there were passages to the gloom in other areas, the orders of the primary worlds stood guard at those entrances and kept the darkness at bay.

The mountain was the only opening into order, and they had come once again.

Mount Astronomia was a massive, bristling fortress. The chaos sun and moon rose and set from this locale, no longer just projections from the second realm. Their blazing radiance illuminated the darkness at every second, attempting to turn it to light.

But over the past one thousand years, the darkness had grown so strong that even Lu Qing found himself stretched to his limits. It’d completely erupted this time and hordes of endarkened charged the mountain, reinforced by massive shadows.

Although Lu Qing wielded the light of the chaos sun and moon, he was almost thoroughly routed numerous times. It was only through the joint efforts of the Sun, Moon, and Star Sovereigns that they barely managed to hold on.

There were too many enemies in the offensive, more than had ever been seen before, but they were completely unafraid of death. Slaughter was the only thing on their minds.

“I’ve notified my father, but I’ve also calculated that he’ll be delayed for a few days. It’s up to us in the meantime,” Lu Qing took a deep breath. “Let’s bring out the treasures that my father sent over a thousand years ago…”

“Oh those? I wanted to use them a long time ago!” Ah Zhi blinked, then cackled with glee. Although they faced the largest invasion force they’d ever seen, she was neither nervous nor afraid. Lu Yun had made preparations for them well in advance.

The treasures had never been used before because their true enemy wasn’t the endarkened, but the cultivators from the outside realm in the yang tomb. Given how dire the situation was, however, they couldn’t afford to hold back any longer.

Black cannon mouths peered out of the void—hell cannons! One hundred and eight of them!

Lu Yun began studying hell cannons after he returned to the fourth realm. He’d refined a hell furnace that could access the Abyssal Hell and draw upon its energy. These one hundred and eight cannons were powered by a corresponding number of furnaces that connected to one hundred and eight different spots in the Abyssal Hell.

A roared command fired them in unison, searing the darkness with an overwhelming barrage.

“I don’t think those hell cannons will be enough.” A faint figure in purple stood on the mountain’s peak. Her slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed—Violetgrave.
