Chapter 1119: Reincarnation Path
According to the turtle, the hole was constantly moving so finding it was far from easy.
It was only a matter of time before Lord of Chaos realize their disappearance. Given his cultivation, it wouldn’t be hard for him to calculate their position.
Thus, staying at the first gate was no longer an option. Feiyun and the others headed deeper into h.e.l.l.
Since he had the ghost armor, he could travel through the area uncontested. It took eight days before they made it to the fifth gate of h.e.l.l.
This place was darker and colder than the first gate. The yin energy was denser; the soldiers were stronger.
They occasionally saw ghost monarchs of incredible strength. Their auras billowed like the waves of an ocean.
They hid inside an abandoned building surrounded by h.e.l.l tides. Feiyun activated his saint domain to stop anything from touching them.
“Even if he knows we’re here, he won’t pursue since the fifth lord is a big shot. On the other hand, the saintess might do something out of hatred. We still need to leave this place as soon as possible.” The turtle lay on the ground while drawing strange runes and talismans, perhaps a map.
“When will the h.e.l.l hole float to this place?” The dragon asked.
“The fifth gate is located at the center of h.e.l.l, there’s a high chance.” Feiyun said.
Half a month pa.s.sed afterward.
Feiyun calculated using his Grand Change Art so that they could stay in the outskirts. There were miasma and corpse rivers flowing everywhere.
Even the soldiers of h.e.l.l didn’t dare to come this far due to the unknown dangers.
“Reincarnation Path, Sunless Path, cosmic coordinates…” Feiyun murmured the things told to him by the turtle.
He was better than the turtle at calculating so he led the way. They eventually made it to a blood river with a terrible stench.
“This is Sunless Path.” Feiyun said and moved swiftly to the sh.o.r.e with the turtle right behind him.
“There’s only one minute max before the h.e.l.l hole is coming to those coordinates.” The turtle said.
There were patterns to the h.e.l.l hole’s movement. Right now, they were trying to find its next appearance.
Feiyun created fifty bright particles to form a formation. He calculated again and continued walking down the river.
Suddenly, a gigantic wave rushed out of the river, issuing strange howls.
Feiyun stopped and stared at it, sending a saint palm print to send it back. The river calmed down but the strange howls remained.
“What is this?” Feiyun’s palm strike earlier was enough to kill a ghost monarch.
“We need to hurry, there might be a soul-eater worm at the bottom.” The turtle’s expression darkened.
“So just a worm?” The dragon laughed.
“Raa!” Suddenly, the entire river of blood rose upward.
A soul-eater worm spanning eight thousand meters appeared. It was covered in scales with three pairs of red wings. It didn’t have eyes or anything, only a gaping mouth with tentacle-like teeth. This creature was larger than some dragons.
“A-are you sure this is a worm…” The dragon stammered; its eyes nearly jumped out of the sockets.
“Raa!” The worm initiated an attack.
“f.u.c.k, I’m not afraid of you!” The dragon had the bloodline of an immemorial sacred demon. It became ten times larger than the worm and swallowed it.
“Did you all see that? This is my true strength.” It stood proudly and looked down at Feiyun and the turtle.
“You shouldn’t have done that, the worm is an amalgamation of ghosts and souls. This won’t be good…” The turtle said quietly.
“Why didn’t you say something earlier?! f.u.c.k, my stomach… am I infected now?!” The dragon shrank down to the size of a fish and held its belly while screaming in agony, calling out for its father and mother.
“Is it going to be okay?” Feiyun asked.
“He should be fine, sacred immemorial demons can digest virtually anything. It’ll be a while though since the worm was filled with yin energy.” The fruit said.
“We have to find those cosmic coordinates soon. Time’s running out.” Feiyun rushed forward.
The turtle placed the screaming dragon on its sh.e.l.l and tried to catch up.
“Boss, you’re so nice… when I recover, I’ll do anything for you.” The dragon kissed the turtle’s neck twice while hugging him tightly.
“Kiss me again and I’ll throw you into the river, and stop rubbing your stomach against me.” The turtle said.
“I don’t feel so good… don’t worry… It’ll come out soon…” The dragon said.
“f.u.c.k!”
Meanwhile, Feiyun finally found the location of the coordinates - another blood river with large piles of corpses.
“We’re here.” Feiyun was ecstatic since they could return to the mortal world soon.
“This is only the beginning. This path is perilous, even demi-saints can fall.” The turtle caught up.
A spatial crack appeared on the river, as indiscernible as can be. Feiyun only saw it when his phoenix gaze was activated.
“It’s here, now!” He jumped into the spatial crack and a force instantly pulled him in.
He lost control of his body and was trapped in the flow. The others followed him and suffered the same helplessness.
“Bronze vessel!” The s.h.i.+p flew out of Feiyun’s body and grew larger.
Although the gales were strong, the s.h.i.+p maintained stability. Feiyun was the first to land on deck and then the others.
“G.o.dd.a.m.n, just like last time… This s.h.i.+p is incredible, to be able to escape from a soulrend gale. Maybe we can actually get back to the mortal realm.” The turtle touched the deck and looked greedy.
“What is going on?” As for Feiyun, he became as still as a statue while looking ahead.
This was because this scenery was too familiar.
“Look, the brat is scared. Well, not his fault, he’s still too young.” The dragon laughed before bending down to hold its stomach again. He ran to one corner of the s.h.i.+p, squatted, and let it out right there.
“I-I’ve been here before…” Feiyun murmured.
The s.h.i.+p zoomed through the night. It looked like a snail crawling on the ground despite its great speed; this expanse was simply ma.s.sive.
Feiyun thought that this place was exactly identical to the yellow river. He was. .h.i.t by the s.h.i.+p then and when he woke up, he had two sets of memories.
“That can’t be. This is Reincarnation Path, only reachable due to the h.e.l.l hole since the seal of reincarnation was taken by someone.” The turtle said.
“Reincarnation Path.” Feiyun repeated.
“Yes, karma and the reincarnation cycle, this is the path.” The turtle said.
“Hey, look ahead! There’s someone, we’re gonna smash into him!” The fruit suddenly shouted.
