Chapter 5199 The Primal Chaos Bead Appears
The sphere in the woman’s hand was surrounded by primal chaos qi, with a starry river flowing within it, creating a world of its own. This was the primal chaos bead. Although it appeared completely different from when Long Chen had obtained the primal chaos bead, their auras were identical.
Lord Brahma’s expression changed upon seeing the primal chaos bead. He immediately extended his hand, sealing this entire world.
BOOM!
However, he was still one step too slow. The maiden crushed the primal chaos bead in her hand, and the world they were in was obliterated by its terrifying power.
The maiden was instantly turned to dust. As for Lord Brahma, he didn’t die, but his face twisted in agony, and his figure became translucent, as if he was on the verge of dissipating.
Although the primal chaos bead had exploded, its core remained intact. When Long Chen saw this core, his heart trembled—he recognized it as the primal chaos bead he had obtained in the Jiuli secret realm. Lord Brahma immediately reached out for it.
BOOM!
The primal chaos bead pierced through Lord Brahma’s hand, causing his body to quiver and crack, teetering on the brink of collapse.
After piercing through Lord Brahma’s hand, the primal chaos bead tore through the fabric of s.p.a.ce and vanished. Lord Brahma let out a furious roar, his figure fading. Long Chen was shocked—despite supposedly having only a trace of his Yuan Spirit left, Lord Brahma still had the strength to tear through s.p.a.ce even after being struck by the primal chaos bead.
Long Chen’s vision darkened, and he suddenly saw Lord Brahma’s claw penetrating a woman’s chest.
The scene s.h.i.+fted again. A woman with violet hair stood in the air, but her head was suddenly severed, flying into the sky as her blood rained down.
The scenes continued to change, showing the Pill Sovereign reincarnating over and over again, only to be killed each time. With every reincarnation, her appearance and the world around her changed.
She took on various forms, not limited to the human race—she was reincarnated as a member of the Spirit race, Blood race, devil race, demon race, and even the Netherworld race. But regardless of where she was born, Lord Brahma would find and mercilessly slay her each time.
As Long Chen watched the Pill Sovereign being killed repeatedly, his killing intent surged uncontrollably. He wanted to intervene, but he was powerless.
Long Chen never saw the process of the Pill Sovereign’s growth in each life; he only witnessed her final moments. Additionally, everything in these visions, except for Lord Brahma and the Pill Sovereign, appeared blurry and indistinct.
With each death, Long Chen noticed that the Pill Sovereign’s will weakened. After five hundred reincarnations, she no longer raged against Lord Brahma; instead, there was fear in her eyes.
With each reincarnation, parts of her memories were lost, and her will for vengeance weakened. After five hundred reincarnations, she had forgotten who Lord Brahma was and no longer remembered her mission.
After hunting down and killing the Pill Sovereign five hundred times, Lord Brahma’s form became a mere clump of light, barely holding together. He had pursued the Pill Sovereign through countless reincarnations without rest, never healing his own injuries. On the Pill Sovereign’s five hundred and first reincarnation, it wasn’t Lord Brahma who killed her but a group of masked figures.
“Chess Sect!” exclaimed Long Chen.
Upon seeing those masks, Long Chen gritted his teeth in fury. Unexpectedly, the Chess Sect was a fang of Lord Brahma. They took Lord Brahma’s place to continue hunting down the Pill Sovereign through reincarnation.
After the Chess Sect killed her a hundred times, everything descended to chaos. The Pill Sovereign occasionally died to the devil race, the demon race, and Long Chen even saw her killed by the Stone Spirit race.
In every reincarnation, just as she started to grow, she would be killed. Like a curse, her death became inevitable, regardless of who her enemies were.
In the end, the final scene was of Yu Qingxuan’s death in the Martial Heaven Continent. Long Chen was now sure that Yu Qingxuan was truly the Pill Sovereign. After a thousand reincarnations, Yu Qingxuan’s face, spiritual fluctuations, and even her character were completely different from the Pill Sovereign’s.
“These thousand reincarnations are all to wake you up from the red dust[1].”
Long Chen remembered Yu Qingxuan’s words. She had said that each time, she died in front of him. Did that mean that he had also gone through a thousand reincarnations?
“If she is the Pill Sovereign’s reincarnation, then who am I?”
You are him, you are not him... Long Chen suddenly recalled the strange words the Pill Sovereign had once spoken to him.
“Just who am I?”
Long Chen felt like he was losing his mind, not knowing who to unleash his anger upon. Flames started to rise around him as if he was on the brink of exploding.
While Long Chen was lost in his own world, in the outside world, he was facing the Pill Sovereign’s statue with a twisted expression of fury. The azure lotus behind him was burning berserkly, incinerating a hole in the heavens.
This azure lotus had condensed countless runes that formed chains. Those chains linked together, creating one enormous chain that pierced through the heavens. The world wailed and shook in terror.
Lu Chengkong, Yu Qingxuan, and the disciple of the Pill Inst.i.tute were all paralyzed with fear. Yu Qingxuan had no idea that just as the statue was about to awaken her memories, Long Chen had intervened, causing him to witness a thousand reincarnations of pain and driving him into madness.
The angrier he got, the more the azure lotus blazed. Eventually, the lotus merged into the enormous chain, disappearing within it. Countless runes condensed into immortal characters, and when they appeared, s.p.a.ce started to crack. Lu Chengkong was horrified—he had no idea what was happening.
The entire academy felt the disturbance, and everyone rushed toward the Pill Inst.i.tute. Upon witnessing the terrifying scene, they were all left speechless.
The academy’s disciples, in particular, felt as if their souls would be crushed by the mere sight of the heaven-piercing chain.
Seeing Bai Letian, Yu Qingxuan hastily cried out, “Dean, something’s wrong with Long Chen! Please save him!”
Bai Letian’s expression changed, and he shouted at Bai Xiaole, “Bring over the palace master!”
Seeing how serious Bai Letian was, Bai Xiaole didn’t hesitate. He instantly vanished, and the void split open, revealing the palace master.
The palace master’s pupils shrank as he quickly formed hand seals. A vast Blood Qi surged into the heavens. A giant black dragon coiled around Long Chen and shrank, wrapping Long Chen and the enormous chain.
When the palace master summoned this black dragon, ninety percent of the pressure was blocked. Just as everyone was about to sigh in relief, the chanting of a scripture filled with boundless killing intent and destructive will echoed across the sky.
