Chapter 1461: Eternity in This Realm, No Death or Destruction
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Big Luo existed in all time and spatial dimensions and ensured eternity.
This was also the reason why the Hades Emperor named his son Big Luo; his name represented the hopes that the Hades Emperor had for his son. The Realm of Big Luo was the final goal of every cultivator, regardless whether they were humans or demons.
However, no one had managed to reach this realm before.
After Lin Feng formed the Immortal Soul Third Level, his understanding of the Great Dao had reached his peak level.
He could sense that there was another level between the Realm of Indestructibility and the Realm of Big Luo.
This level was extremely mystical. One"s powers didn"t increase in this level, but there was a change in the concepts of Dao in this level.
Entering this realm didn"t increase one"s powers, but his understanding of the Dao of destiny would be enhanced. He would also be closer to the Realm of Big Luo and could possibly undergo transcension. It could also be the final preparation before transcension began.
When Lin Feng deduced the Book of Taiji and cultivated his Dao Fruit, he could sense that his comprehension of the destiny of the Heavens and Earth had reached the standard of this realm.
Right now, this feeling became clearer as he watched the uproar in the Death Sea.
The Great Void Holy Man looked towards Lin Feng and said, “I call it the Bridge of Eternity. When one steps onto this bridge, he embarks on the path towards eternity. However, it could be one step or it could be a never-ending path.”
“I wonder who can reach the Realm of Big Luo. I"ve been in the Death Sea for many years and sat on this bridge for countless years. But I"ll only know if I can make the last step when the critical moment comes.”
The Great Void Holy Man gave Lin Feng a certain reply. Shakyamuni was silent as he wore a calm gaze in his eyes.
On the other side, the Tai Yi Holy Man wasn"t surprised. He managed to reach the Realm of Indestructibility before. Although he didn"t step onto the Bridge of Eternity, he could sense its presence.
However, one could only discover for himself the way to step onto the bridge. It was difficult to describe the experience or pa.s.s on any lessons regarding this matter.
If one could step onto the bridge, he would understand everything.
Lin Feng looked at the raging Death Sea water underneath the Great Void Holy Man and nodded his head slightly, “Emperor Jue, Emperor Ji and the Hades Emperor all made this step?”
A radiance flashed in his eyes, “After this step is taken, there"s no increase in one"s power. But he"ll understand much more. For example, that there"s eternity in this realm!”
Lin Feng"s voice resonated in void s.p.a.ce. Even Zhu Yi, w.a.n.g Lin, s.h.i.+ Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing and the rest in the Spirit Sea outside of the greyish boundary between the Death and Spirit Seas could clearly hear what he said.
Everyone was shocked and tried to figure out the meaning behind it.
Those who were in this realm wouldn"t die if the Greater World didn"t collapse. As long as the Grand Celestial World was around, they would be around with the Grand Celestial World.
Humans reached the Immortal Soul Stage, while demons formed the Undying Demon Soul. Their lifespans were closely connected to the Heavens and Earth. As long as they weren"t killed by some external force, their lives wouldn"t end.
However, such an existence was very shallow. Disregarding the Three Tribulations of Destiny, it also seemed weak in the face of more powerful forces.
The Emperor of the Dead comprehension of samsara and his ability to reborn was already very unbelievable.
However, it took a lot of trouble for him to do so. At the same time, he could be hindered by external forces.
He was killed by Yan Xinghe and the incomplete Supreme Heavenly Mirror during the Antiquity Age, before he resurrected in the Modern Age. However, he was killed by w.a.n.g Lin this time and was able to resurrect any further.
However, for those like the Great Void Holy Man that stepped onto the Bridge of Eternity, they experienced true longevity. If the Heavens and Earth wasn"t destroyed, they wouldn"t die.
Even if they were killed by external forces, they could still return as long as the Grand Celestial world still existed.
To a certain extent, one who stepped onto the Bridge of Eternity could only be suppressed but would never be killed.
The only way they could perish was from the last Tribulation of Destiny.
Lin Feng focused his gaze on the Death Sea and looked at the Great Void Holy Man, “The Death Sea is the path of return?”
The Great Void Holy Man"s voice was deep, yet he sounded very surreal too, “Before I entered the Death Sea, I only had subtle feeling but I was still unclear. It"s only when I entered the Death Sea that I managed to step onto this bridge and understood everything.”
“Although I can return, I still need to spend a long time in the Death Sea.”
The Great Void Holy Man said, “Besides Emperor Jue, there are two other demons. I know their names. One of them still needs some time before he can return. The other is in a similar situation to Emperor Jue. He can return, but his path was blocked by me and the Ru Lai Daoist.”
“Come to think about it, he should be Extreme Spirit Shen Yuan.”
Lin Feng nodded his head, “If it"s only the three of them, then Bolin w.a.n.gtian didn"t manage to step onto the Bridge of Eternity.”
After pausing for a moment, Lin Feng looked at the Great Void Holy Man and asked, “Besides the demons, are there any humans that can return?”
The Great Void Holy Man shook his head, “Tai s.h.i.+tian didn"t take this step. As for Chiyang…”
Lin Feng said, “He was one foot onto the bridge then. If he managed to return from the Netherworld Sea and acc.u.mulated more, he should have been able to step onto the bridge completely.”
The Great Void Holy Man didn"t continue his words. However, the waves in the Death Sea were surging more violently now.
Lin Feng turned to look at Shakyamuni, “Comrade, you should be on the Bridge of Eternity too?”
The Great Void Holy Man was probably the first person to have entered this realm.
Shakyamuni smiled but didn"t reply. His silence revealed the answer to the question.
Both he and the Great Void Holy Man made this step many years after they entered the Death Sea.
However, they could sense Shen Yuan"s presence apart from Emperor Jue, but they didn"t know who he was.
Shakyamuni s.h.i.+fted his gaze between the Death Sea and Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stared at the waves in the Death Sea. After a brief moment, he revealed a smile on his face, “Let go, there"s no need to suppress anymore.”
The Great Void Holy Man looked at Loin Feng. There was a deep radiance in his eyes that was extremely unpredictable.
He looked at the Book of Collapse and said, “With this treasure, you can challenge a demon in the Final Stage of the Second Tribulation of Destiny. I"m not as good; I can only challenge one with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror with me. There"s also the Ru Lai Daoist. He can face Emperor Jue and Shen Yuan. Even though he can win them, he might not be capable enough to stop them from escaping.”
“I heard from my successors that you have a ferocious sword that slays the Heaven and Dao. In terms of offense, it might even be better than the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. But…”
The Great Void Holy Man slowly said, “Forgive me for being direct. If your sword loses control, I"m afraid that it"s not weaker than a demon in the Realm of Indestructibility”
“Are you confident in your sword?”
Lin Feng grinned, “Comrade, are you enquiring about the extent of my inclination towards both humans and demons?”
“From your perspective, it"s likely that I won"t help either side. Or perhaps it"s the most beneficial for me if I force Shakyamuni back to the Death Sea and leave the rest of you to continue suppressing the demons.”
The Great Void Holy Man replied, “Pardon me. When the Hades Emperor is back, the Ru Lai Daoist and I might be unable to hang on anymore as we"re outnumbered.”
Lin Feng laughed, “If the three of them resurrect together, it"s more likely for them to fight it out rather than team up together.”
The Great Void Holy Man replied, “Without sufficient external pressure, that"ll indeed be the case.”
Lin Feng twisted his head slightly and looked at the Great Void Holy Man, “I thought that you"ll be completely unconcerned and unbothered at your level. Besides trying for the last step to achieve transcension, you shouldn"t be concerned about anything else.”
“Or rather, everything else doesn"t seem to matter in your eyes.”
“However, you appear to still worry about the Divine Lands, your sect and the differences between humans and demons.”
The Great Void Holy Man revealed a smile on his face, “It"s just a thought. When I want to be like the Dao, I"ll be like the Dao. When I want to be like a normal person, I"ll be like a normal person.”
As he said this, Lin Feng took a careful look at him.
The Great Void Holy Man smiled as he said, “Moreover, you"re not wrong. If I take the last step, Emperor Jue, Shen Yuan and the Hades Emperor might not be happy to see me live peacefully. Even if we exclude Shen Yuan and the Hades Emperor, Emperor Jue is surely going to fight me when he returns.”
“There"s no Weakened Stage when one steps onto the Bridge of Eternity and returns from the Death Sea. His powers will reach their peak directly. The time taken to return can also be considered as the time taken to restore.”
“I can"t completely kill them. If we really clash, I don"t know who will die. Although they also can"t kill me, it takes too long to return. If the destiny of the Heavens and Earth reaches it end during this period of time, it"ll be difficult to predict what"ll happen.”
“In this case, I can only suppress them. If I send them to destruct again, it"ll be the best for us. At least I"ll get some peace for a few thousand years.”
The Great Void Holy Man appeared very calm, as he was leisurely conversing with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was equally calm and laughed, “Since you"ve such a plan, then continue to suppress them.”
As he said, he struck his palm out. The boundary in void s.p.a.ce started to shake,
This independent, greyish plane of s.p.a.ce started to turn illusory. Whereas the strips of Great Dao started to move more frantically. The waves in the Death Sea surged more violently too.
The greyish boundary between both worlds started to crack. Countless images were revealed amidst this cracked boundary.
