Chapter 1888 Six Paths of Reincarnation (1)
?Once again, the two swords clashed midair, creating a terrifying explosion.
However, this time, it was the skeleton that got sent flying. Its entire arm was shattered into pieces by the impact.
Yun Lintian didn't let this opportunity slip away. A Golden Crow flame immediately ignited on the Heaven Piercing Sword as he chased after the skeleton and swung the sword at its head.
Boom!
The sword struck the skeleton's head, and the Golden Crow flame on it immediately engulfed the entire skeleton.
Yun Lintian used the impact to spin in the air, delivering a powerful kick to the skeleton's head. With a bang, the skeleton exploded into countless fiery fragments before reducing to ashes.
Yun Lintian landed on the ground and quickly scanned the surroundings. The waves of energy had inexplicably disappeared entirely. Everything returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.
"What was that?" Yun Lintian felt confused. Was this considered a trial?
"Look..." At this moment, Gui Xuan pointed to the ground.
Yun Lintian followed his finger and saw several seals depicting various kinds of fierce beasts. Some of them were still glowing with a strange light.
A bright white light illuminated the tip of the Heaven Piercing Sword as Yun Lintian waved it over the ground to get a clear look at the seals.
Suddenly, Yun Lintian could see scattered skeletons lying all around him. Some of them were humans, while others were beasts.
Yun Lintian felt goosebumps all over his body again just by looking at this scene. He was completely clueless at the moment.
"Path... of... beasts." Gui Xuan spoke slowly. His adorable expression turned serious.
"Path of Beasts?" Yun Lintian frowned deeply.
According to the myth, there were six paths of reincarnation—The Path of Hell, the Path of Hungry Ghost, the Path of Beasts, the Path of Demons, the Path of Humans, and the Path of Heavens... It seemed he was standing on the Path of Beasts right now.
"So, was the earlier one the Path of Hungry Ghosts?" Yun Lintian appeared to have a moment of understanding. Perhaps the so-called trials referred to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Demon, heaven, human..." Yun Lintian's mind raced as he read the runes on the ground.
A moment later, his eyes sparkled as he spoke. "I see. It's the Three Realms Formation."
The Three Realms Formation was considered to be both an offensive and defensive formation. It could easily confuse people's minds and trap them in the formation for eternity.
Yun Lintian didn't solve the formation right away; instead, he continued to ponder it further. Whoever set up this formation was clearly well-versed in the Myriad Formation Scripture. If he had not studied it before, it was impossible for him to break it.
"Who is it?" Yun Lintian wanted to know the identity of the person. Perhaps it was the high-ranking officer from the Netherworld.
"Forget it." Yun Lintian shook his head. It wasn't the time to think about it.
He took a deep breath and retrieved several formation stones. Yun Lintian carefully engraved ancient runes on each stone. It took him a full hour to prepare a thousand formation stones.
Yun Lintian rose from the ground and hurled the formation stones around him one by one. He seemed to be randomly throwing them, but the stones clearly formed a pattern.
After throwing over a hundred stones, Yun Lintian poured a cluster of divine stones onto the ground below him and uttered. "Disperse."
Instantly, the formation stones on the ground lit up and connected with each other.
ROAR!
An angry roar reverberated through the area. Yun Lintian could hear the anxiety in its voice. Obviously, his method was working effectively.
Yun Lintian started to advance and place more formation stones around. He continued to repeat the process until he reached the edge of the formation.
He carefully placed the final formation stone on the ground, and his expression turned solemn.
Yun Lintian's aura surged as he thrust the Heaven Piercing Sword into the ground.
Bang!... Bang! Bang! Bang!
In that instant, the formation stones exploded one after another, all the way back to the first formation stone at the far end.
"Roar!" A ferocious roar echoed once more. This time, Yun Lintian could see a massive silhouette looming above his head. It seemed to be in the shape of a demonic creature.
The demonic creature struggled as if in pain before slowly disappearing...
