Chapter 261: Laws of Reincarnation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In an instant, Su Chen was like a divine king descending upon the world.

The Holy Son Peak trembled ceaselessly, as if unable to withstand the pressure. It seemed as if it would crumble away the very next second.

Buzz…

Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In his gaze, mountains crumbled, ages passed, and stars vanished. An incredibly terrifying pressure seemed capable of shaking the Nine Underworlds.

“The middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm!” Su Chen stared at the void before him, his gaze burning. From breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm at the ruins of the God Demon Sect to now, only a few days had passed. Yet in just that short span, he had already reached the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. At this moment, he was not far from the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm either.

“Looks like I’ll have to keep a low profile from now on!” Su Chen thought to himself. His speed of advancement was too swift. If this got out, it would surely cause a huge commotion across the world. One had to understand that after reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm, it would take at least several decades to break through again. Yet Su Chen had only used a few days.

The main reason was the sheer amount of spirit stones. The majestic spiritual energy had directly propelled his breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm. His desire to keep a low profile stemmed from not wanting to frighten others. If they knew of his astonishing breakthrough speed, they would surely be shocked.

There was another reason. Su Chen also wished to feign weakness and lull others into underestimating him. Even with the rebirth of an exceptional figure like Ye Ruxue, breaking through the small realms of the Quasi-Saint Realm in just days was impossible. Yet Su Chen had genuinely accomplished it. If others caught wind of this, who knew how they would view him?

“If 1 remember right, Tang Huo of the Infinite Demon Sect had a divine weapon that could conceal cultivation level in his storage ring,” Su Chen recalled.

Thinking of this, Su Chen lifted his head to look upon the sea of divine weapons before him. Piled up like a mountain range, their numbers seemed endless. Gazing at this mountain of divine weapons, Su Chen could not help but click his tongue.

So many divine weapons… Even the Divine Weapon Pavilion of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect likely did not have as great a stock, right?

Su Chen lightly shook his head, taking out two storage rings large enough to contain them all. Very quickly, only two items remained before him.

One drop of golden blood. And one creamy white jade pendant.

Su Chen first picked up the pendant to examine it closely. This jade pendant was precisely the divine item from Tang Huo’s storage ring capable of hiding one’s cultivation level. Even mighty figures of profound depth would be unable to see through the disguise.

Su Chen casually pricked his finger and let a drop of blood drip onto the pendant.

Buzz…

The pendant vibrated, a bright whiteness flashing over it. Soon after, Su Chen hung the pendant at his waist.

Next, his gaze fell upon the drop of golden blood. This was one of Su Chen’s greatest gains within the God Demon Sect’s ruins! The drop of the Great Emperor’s blood essence from the Hundred Beast Battlefield had allowed him to comprehend the Laws of Destruction. This current drop was no less potent than that one.

By chance, this drop of the Great Emperor’s blood essence had been discovered by Mu Qingxue in the deepest parts of the ruins. Yet she had not kept it for herself, instead gifting it to Su Chen.

Buzz…

Su Chen spread out his divine sense like the tide, immersing it within the drop of blood essence. The instant his divine sense touched the Great Emperor’s blood essence, the environment around him changed drastically. This was not Su Chen’s first time experiencing such an occurrence, so he remained perfectly calm.

He placidly sized up the surrounding mountains. If he was not mistaken, he should currently be within a valley. Spiritual energy swirled about the place, a small stream babbling. A staircase of white jade led up towards the top of the valley.

“This drop of blood essence is rather interesting…” Su Chen muttered softly. Last time, that drop of Great Emperor’s blood essence had allowed him to witness the scene of a great emperor perishing, an extremely tragic battle. As far as the eye could see, corpses lay everywhere. The skies were stained pitch black with blood, all other colors virtually invisible.

Yet the scene this Great Emperor’s blood essence showed him now was an untainted, idyllic one. It was as if a true immortal had come to secretly reside here, untouched by the mundane world and its dust.

Su Chen followed the white jade steps upward. Very soon, he arrived at the deepest part of the valley. The furnishings here were very simple, just a willow tree, a stone house, and a stone table. A gentle breeze blew past, lightly swaying the willow.

“This willow tree is no ordinary thing!” Su Chen murmured while looking at it. The dwelling place of a great emperor. Generally, everything inside would be extraordinary. Perhaps this plain-looking willow was actually a sacred medicine in disguise?

Bang!

At this moment, a muffled sound rang out. Su Chen’s heart stirred as he lifted his head. He saw a white-robed man sitting quietly by the stone table. This man was dressed in a white robe, with loose black hair draped over his shoulders. He sat there casually, appearing as one with heaven and earth.

Bang!

Another sound rang out. The man’s black chess piece descended onto the chessboard. He seemed wholly engrossed in his game, entirely unaware of Su Chen’s arrival.

“Interesting…” Su Chen smiled as he looked over the chessboard. Logically, a great emperor at this level should have already begun circulating his Power of Laws. Yet the emperor before him was like an ordinary man, leisurely playing chess. Su Chen had never encountered something like this before.

In the outside world, this would have been ideal. But within the inner world of a great emperor’s blood essence, it was not a good sign. It meant Su Chen would be unable to comprehend any Power of Laws from this great emperor. This drop of the Great Emperor’s blood essence was now useless to him.

Thinking this, Su Chen grew somewhat anxious. He took two steps forward, appearing beside the chessboard to closely inspect the pieces atop it. With but a glance, he froze in astonishment. The chess pieces were formationed like circulating trigrams, transforming the entire board into a small world. Each piece that descended caused significant ripples.

Boom!

Within Su Chen’s mind, two masses, one black and one white, manifested and began circulating. In the next moment, his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the main hall.

“This is…” Su Chen looked ahead, his eyes filled with delight.

“The Laws of Reincarnation!” After the Laws of Destruction, this was another extraordinarily rare law! For Su Chen, it was undoubtedly wondrous news. If he could grasp the Laws of Reincarnation, his strength would soar once more!

Thinking this, Su Chen hastily immersed his divine sense back into the Great Emperor’s blood essence.

Buzz…

The scene before him transformed again. Su Chen reappeared within the now familiar valley and immediately ascended the white jade steps without pause.

Very soon, he arrived before the same spot. The white-robed man still sat there, every action utterly natural, resembling a true immortal. However, at this moment, an earth-shattering change had come over him. He now exuded an aura of transcendence, dustless and free from the mundane world. Anyone who faced him would feel as if standing before a deity, stirred to prostrate themselves in worship..
