"Good dicine tastes bitter."
Although he felt that this ti the dicine was a bit strange, Mo Wan saw Lin Jing's serious gaze and still accepted it.
"Take it, and you will be relieved."
Facing his junior brother's earnest persuasion, Mo Wan nodded and swallowed the pill with the dicinal soup in one gulp.
Monts later.
A piercing pain spread throughout Mo Wan's body. He suddenly turned pale, sweating profusely, his entire body suffused with red veins.
"Junior brother... this dicine..." Even now, Mo Wan didn't believe Lin Jing ant to harm him, enduring the pain and only thinking it was the dicine taking effect.
"Hold on for a bit." Lin Jing sighed, then activated the Worlds' Death Nail for the last ti. Mo Wan's pained expression finally relaxed, but his life force also dissipated.
Moreover, the Worlds' Death Nail turned into a curse power, erasing any trace related to Mo Wan across all worlds.
Crack.
A mory crystal shattered in Lin Jing's hand.
Looking at the broken mory crystal, Lin Jing shook his head. He had stored Mo Wan's mories earlier, intending to give them to a newly born life later, allowing Mo Wan to live a new life detached from the identity of the Demon Lord's reincarnation. However, it seed that the Worlds' Death Nail crafted by the Immortal Emperors was even more complex than he imagined.
Even parts of the growth mories replicated from Mo Wan were considered part of him and completely obliterated.
"It's just that your fate was unfortunate, being the reincarnation of the Demon Lord." There is no tale of transcending fate in reality. Mo Wan was destined to return as the Demon Lord, and Lin Jing also felt regret, so he could only die here.
But can the Worlds' Death Nail truly erase all traces of the Demon Lord?
Lin Jing held doubts.
Sigh.
anwhile, with Mo Wan's death, Lin Jing felt a sense of unease.
He looked at Mo Wan's corpse. As the life force completely dissipated, a formidable resentnt erged from it. Seeing this, Lin Jing's expression changed as he realized the severity of the situation.
Boom.
In the next instant, this demon resentnt, like a vengeful spirit's final counterattack, transford into a curse power even more incredible than the Worlds' Death Nail, entwining around Lin Jing's body. Despite Lin Jing instantly activating all the power accumulated over countless reincarnations, reaching the pinnacle of his strength, he still couldn't stop the ghost-like demon hand from grasping his arm.
"There is indeed a problem." Lin Jing looked at the handprint appearing on his arm, his body seemingly pulled into another ti and space.
An abyssal, starry void.
There, too, was a Mo Wan, holding a nail in his hand, but from the expression on his face, Lin Jing knew that this version... was the Demon Lord!
"The cause of death this ti, was it because of you?"
"Unfortunately, sothing like that alone can't erase ." He crushed the Worlds' Death Nail and then gazed at Lin Jing, "Those guys went through so much trouble to deal with ... Young one, I'm giving you a chance, abandon the darkness for the light."
"Is that possible?" Lin Jing calmly looked at the Demon Lord, knowing this form of him couldn't harm him.
The other was rely a thought, here to observe the cause of death in this life.
The main consciousness was indeed dormant within the Celestial Dao Treasure, and with such reincarnations, no matter how many were killed, it was useless.
The other's redundancy confird Lin Jing's judgnt, and the Immortal Emperors' insistence on directly exterminating the Demon Lord was indeed unfeasible.
Moreover, it would probably alert the Demon Lord, making it even more difficult to find his reincarnated selves and the Celestial Dao Treasure in the future.
"Why not?"
"With your aptitude, you shouldn't be manipulated by them as a puppet against ." The Demon Lord remained calm.
"Convince to serve you, what benefits do you offer, or what can you bring as the Taoist Master?" Lin Jing asked.
The Demon Lord shook his head, "I cannot say, but you only need to know, those who oppose are destined to disappear from this world."
"Only by joining the Demon Clan can one achieve eternity."
"You are sowhat part demon yourself, qualified to follow …"
"Stop the theatrics; there's nothing to discuss." Lin Jing threw a punch, causing the demon-ford world to collapse directly.
Standing once more in place, Lin Jing preserved Mo Wan's corpse, sealing it away.
Once he acquired the Grand Dao Bell from the avatar projection, this body might have further use as a sacrifice to deduce the Demon Lord and the Celestial Dao Treasure.
The next mont, gazing at the empty room, he shook his head, thinking of Forget Sorrow Taoist, that old man...
Though both disciples' identities were perplexing, Lin Jing knew that the old man's affection for the two disciples was genuine.
Now, with Mo Wan dead and Lin Zhu completing her task and disappearing, who knows how the old man will be affected.
"So be it, just follow the previous approach."
Lin Jing left, but after he did, two figures made of illusion technique remained, precisely Lin Zhu and Mo Wan.
In the past, whenever he ceased the reincarnation cultivation, he would leave behind an illusion to continue portraying his reincarnated form, living out the remaining years serenely, maintaining the connection with the reincarnated self.
This ti, he did the sa, just adding Mo Wan along with himself.
......
On the Pangu Continent, in a courtyard with falling maple leaves.
Gu Qianqiu poured a cup of tea for Lin Jing, the fragrance swirling in the air.
"Is it over?" she asked.
Now, aside from Lin Jing, she is the most ancient existence in the Cultivation Alliance, a long-lived being rarely known, also the secret mastermind behind the most mysterious force in the Cultivation Realm, the Temple of Longevity.
"Not yet. The Demon Lord is not dead; instead, I… he cursed ." Lin Jing looked at the indelible handprint on his arm, shaking his head.
"Is it severe?" Gu Qianqiu asked with concern.
"Not severe, just give so ti, and I can purify it." This curse, along with prematurely activating the Reincarnation Immortal Body, has prevented Lin Jing, in the short term, from using the "Fate Magical Treasure" to reincarnate and find the Demon Lord.
Though he hadn't planned to continue searching either, this experience also proved that it is difficult to eliminate the Demon Lord by conventional ans.
"What are your next plans?" Gu Qianqiu asked, "You have been cultivating in the lower realm for hundreds of thousands of years; do you intend to stay there forever? Don't you miss the pet beast in the Immortal Realm?"
"One day in the Immortal Realm, a year in the lower realm, even if you can occasionally communicate, each ti is equivalent to tens of thousands of years for you." Gu Qianqiu felt concerned for Lin Jing's original self.
She, too, had stayed in the lower realm for a long ti, empathetically understanding that for the avatar and pet beast in the Immortal Realm, perhaps only a few hundred years have passed, just a retreat's duration, but in the lower realm… Lin Jing might not even know how many tis he has reincarnated.
"It won't always be like this." Lin Jing said, "It's almost over, almost…"
