Above the snowfield, a vast expanse of white, but within it appeared two small dots, one dark and one bright yellow.
Perhaps displeased by the snowfield, a wisp of eerie white appeared on the dark black dot, instantly spreading and dyeing the black white.
Zhao Li awoke from his enlightenment, withdrawing the Bone Chilling Flame, his heart filled with emotion.
In truth, within Death Mountain, Zhao Li had already died, because he had seen his own Obsession. His state at that time was just like the existences within the Torrent of Obsession.
But unlike them, although Zhao Li's Realm was not Dou Di, it was completely no less than Dou Di, and perhaps even higher. Therefore, his Will did not immediately dissipate. He saw everything about himself and re-condensed his belief.
To some extent, he had completely died just now, but death is a relative concept. Death at the Mortal level is the dissipation of the Physical Body, ordinary Cultivators require the Soul to dissipate, while within Death Mountain, it requires the collapse of belief and the Obsession having no anchor.
Zhao Li died, but he didn't die completely enough, only a little bit. By relying on his Obsession, accepting himself, and re-gathering his belief, he allowed his Soul to return to its Innate undying state and persevere.
Because when he was about to dissipate, a strong reluctance was stirred up, making him unwilling to perish just like that. And the curiosity towards that reluctance, as well as his own Will to resist, allowed him to remain in this state of neither life nor death, comprehending the Reincarnation of life and death within the Torrent of Obsession.
Speaking of which, it was indeed an Opportunity. If he hadn't established the Meaning of Reincarnation, he wouldn't have suffered this calamity. And without suffering this calamity, he wouldn't know where to establish Reincarnation.
Zhao Li felt that everything was predetermined, a matter of cause and effect.
Afterward, he looked at his Inner Universe. Within it, the Jade Emperor had dissipated and was now re-condensing, while another Deity was opening up a region within the Chaos Energy. Zhao Li called it the Empress Earth Deity, who governs the Underworld.
"Successfully condensed the second Deity. Not only did I successfully open up Reincarnation, but it also proved that my idea is indeed feasible. Just the second Deity has already doubled my Combat Power. If..."
Zhao Li felt the changes in his Strength and couldn't help but feel a surge of fanaticism. If he could truly condense the One Yuan Number of Deities, then perhaps he could really reach the Realm he saw in his Obsession, where a single thought could create or destroy a universe.
Although he also knew that these two Deities were special. After all, if it was truly according to his idea, one would be the lord of the Inner Universe's Heavenly Court, and the other the lord of the Underworld. Their authority and status were incomparable to ordinary Deities.
But even so, compared to the One Yuan Number, they were only a very small part. Even if other Deities could only increase his Combat Power by ten percent, the accumulation would still be a terrifying improvement.
After a long time, Zhao Li suppressed his fantasies and looked at the Abyss, feeling some apprehension in his heart:
"As expected of the Demon Emperor who could make countless Heavenly Talents on the Dou Qi Continent bow their heads. Even with only a trace of his Soul left, he can accurately grasp human psychology. I was actually led by the nose by that guy the whole time. If I hadn't had a breakthrough, I'm afraid I would have truly fallen into his trap."
Among the countless Obsessions, he learned many secrets, including the identity of the one below - the leader of the Demon Race who invaded the Dou Qi Continent, Nine Nether.
Zhao Li thought that everything he did was because he wanted to do it himself, but now that he thought about it, it was inevitable that there was Nine Nether's influence. It was precisely because he grasped his thoughts that he slowly threw out the information he needed, allowing him to slowly fall into the trap.
The most terrifying thing was that he clearly did nothing, just said a few words, and silently influenced him.
"However, you are not as powerful now as I saw back then. If this is all you are, then become the energy for me to evolve the Underworld."
Zhao Li withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Yunsheng, who had gained some insight after his Giving a Sermon. He did not immediately descend into the Abyss.
At this moment, below the Abyss, within the Sealed Space, Nine Nether watched Zhao Li's actions, somewhat dumbfounded.
He wanted Zhao Li to save him, but he never thought that someone would be so foolish, so reckless, to actually burst their Soul and become one of the Obsessions in Death Mountain.
"Oh my dear Mother, where did this fool come from? It's over, Heaven wants to destroy me."
During this time, Nine Nether's mood had changed repeatedly. Originally, he could only count the days until his death, but Heaven seemed to be playing a joke on him by sending Zhao Li to the Sealed Space.
But just when he finally saw hope, he could only watch helplessly as Zhao Li dissipated. His hope was once again shattered, turning into despair.
If he hadn't met Zhao Li, perhaps he wouldn't have struggled like this. But since he had seen hope, how could he be willing to wait for death?
In his struggle, he finally discovered some differences from before, and a little hope was reignited.
"In that Death Mountain, it seems that the ability to regenerate the Soul-Shattering Astral Wind is gone. Did that kid really solve the secret within it?"
Nine Nether looked at the Mountain Range that was suppressing him, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and then he tried to break through its suppression.
His ethereal Soul suddenly surged, forming a nearly material figure.
He wore a Black Robe, occasionally with Demonic Flame flickering, giving off an evil aura. His hairline was very high, and his hair, bound by the Demonic Flame, floated towards the back of his head, revealing his smooth forehead.
He extended his slender fingers, his fingernails like blades and sharp weapons emitting a cold light, and slashed towards The Void above his head.
Chiii—
Immediately after, an ear-piercing sound like a cat scratching a blackboard echoed in the Space. But although the sound was harsh, its effect was minimal. The mark in The Void was not even as deep as the mark left by a cat scratching a blackboard.
Of course, the result of this Probing did not exceed Nine Nether's expectations. If this place were so easy to break through, he wouldn't have been trapped here for Ten Thousand Years.
Seeing this situation, he sighed in his heart and deflated. He still couldn't break through this damned place.
But after a while, he took a deep breath, preparing to continue his dying struggle. Anyway, he was going to die one way or another, so he might as well give it his all and fight again.
Thus, he looked up at the Space above, hoping to find some flaw. Then, he froze.
He saw that the faint mark he had just slashed open had not healed!
"What is this? Is there no energy coming to repair it? In this case, can I still live..."
Joy rose in Nine Nether's heart. In the past, this mark would have been smoothed out long ago, but now, although it was healing, it was very, very slow.
"Hahahahahahaha, I, Nine Nether, will indeed not die so easily."
Nine Nether extended his finger once again, his sharp fingernails once again slashing through the faint mark. Looking at the increasingly deep opening, Nine Nether couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Thus, he worked harder. Finally, after an unknown amount of Time, the sound of Space shattering came, followed by an uncontrollable laugh. From a chuckle, to a loud laugh, and then turning into a wild laugh, echoing in this Sealed Space!
"Um, excuse me, you're laughing so happily, is there something good happening?"
Just then, a teasing voice came from behind him, causing him to involuntarily shiver.
Even though he had been sealed for Ten Thousand Years, with his power as a Heavenly Supreme, once he escaped, he could at least display the Strength of an Earth Supreme. But now, he didn't feel any aura behind him!
This made his heart skip a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
