Chapter 318: Chapter 182: The Outcome of the Battle for Reincarnation (Part 3)
"In every life after the first, I have reached the realm of Level 8. The insights, the experiences, the various realizations—I have committed them all to memory."
"The accumulated wealth I’ve gained in each life is sealed away in hidden places, laying the groundwork for the next."
"Coincidentally, this Reincarnation has brought me to Moon Sea, where I happened to leave behind quite a few Level 7 Array Maps. If not for that, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been so easy to suppress and kill you..."
Lu Cang calmly looked at him.
He saw one hundred and twenty-eight Restrictions circling the boy’s body. The entire hall was filled with Array Maps and Barriers.
The vast Hall of Reincarnation Inheritance.
At this very moment, it had transformed into a deadly Killing Array, an Illusion Array where one could not discern direction or the enemy’s movements.
It sealed Magic, Magic Power recovery, and the Perception of Elements.
It severed the perceptual link with Summoned Creatures.
It shackled Qi and Blood, and the air was as thick as glue, making each breath feel like drowning.
In every aspect, there were nothing but Restrictions.
Lu Cang sensed the surrounding Restrictions and did not press the attack.
Instead, he spoke, starting a conversation. "If you’ve reached Level 8 in every life, then why not choose the path of Divinity Ascension?"
The white-haired, red-eyed boy scanned the area, feeling the power in the great hall.
At this moment, everything was under his control.
’Lu Cang is certainly powerful, but facing my ultimate move now, he should be helpless.’
’His various abilities have all been sealed.’
’Within this Restriction, he can’t use Magic, has difficulty using Combat Skills, and even basic movement is a struggle. What kind of trouble can he possibly stir up?’
Thinking about it, he realized it was rare to meet such a formidable junior, so he responded with great interest, "I told you that you have a limited perspective, but you didn’t believe me. You’ve never seen the view from the heights, so how could you think Divinity Ascension is necessarily a good thing?"
"The path to godhood is not as easy as you think."
"I can reincarnate countless times. I have plenty of time and opportunities to pursue the true limit of a human, the true peak at the end of the road."
"This great path is no weaker than that of a god."
"Since it’s no weaker than a god’s, why bother becoming a restricted god?"
"Do you think gods are carefree and omnipotent? Let me ask you one thing... have you ever seen a god?"
"If gods were truly free and unrestrained, why have you never seen one in the world?"
Lu Cang’s eyes twitched slightly.
’No kidding. I’ve only been in this world for a few months. How do you expect me to have seen a god?’
"Haha, kid, seeing as we both have access to Reincarnation, a genius like you is qualified to befriend me."
"If you come to Moon Sea in the future, you can look for me."
"I could even give you some pointers."
"But this Reincarnation Mark goes to the strong. You are not strong enough, so you have no claim to true Reincarnation..."
"Let me also give you a piece of advice: there’s always someone better out there."
"If I had your strength in my first life, I probably would have thought I was invincible too."
"But I can tell you..."
"Even I have places I dare not set foot in this life."
"You truly are a rare genius... It’s just a shame that, in my eyes, you’re not truly invincible."
"Alright."
"Now that I’ve claimed your chance at Reincarnation, you can go and die."
The white-haired, red-eyed boy’s expression was placid.
BANG!
In that instant, all the corpses in the hall exploded into fine black dust!
And at the same time!
The roiling Restrictions began to activate!
"This Array is the Array of Absolute Annihilation."
"It is the masterpiece of my peak as a Level 7 Array Master, capable of killing a Tier Seven Sea Covering Level Demon."
"Trapped inside, everything is unusable, everything is sealed. Even if you possess a Supreme Level Talent, it will be locked away."
"Using this to kill you... you can die with honor."
BOOM!
Countless Restrictions activated in a flash!
All abilities, all Magic, all Combat Skills were sealed, turning a person into little more than a useless stone.
However.
The white-haired, red-eyed boy’s expression froze.
Only terror remained in his heart!
He had suddenly discovered that the Restriction hadn’t bound Lu Cang, but himself!
At this moment, his entire body was sealed.
All of his abilities were gone.
All of his Talents were sealed!
Even his Root Magic, Extreme Battle Intent, and his supreme Sword Dao were all locked away!
Only a flicker of consciousness remained, watching helplessly as Lu Cang walked slowly toward him.
"Indeed."
"Just as you said, if you hadn’t left behind so many Level 7 Array Maps, killing you would have been quite a bit more troublesome."
The only reason Lu Cang had so calmly engaged in conversation...
...was because the instant the boy released all his Array Maps and formed the Restricted Barrier...
...the Barrier had already fallen under his control.
The dominion was entirely in Lu Cang’s hands.
Naturally, he had no fear of a sudden attack...
"I’ll remember what you said. There’s always someone better out there."
Lu Cang raised his hand.
A Dagger spun in his grasp, the Soul Devouring Dagger.
"Wait!"
At this moment, he finally felt fear, and endless panic flooded his heart!
’Why?’
’Why is the Barrier sealing me? Why aren’t the Restrictions under my Control?’
’I personally handled the Refining of this; no one else touched it.’
’Every detail is still fresh in my mind.’
’How could something have gone wrong?’
’Even if something went wrong, how could it be this kind of problem, where it controls me but doesn’t harm the enemy?!’
’No...’
’No, I can’t escape now.’
’I can’t break free from this Restriction!’
He knew exactly what kind of Restriction this was—it sealed everything, severed all connections, and annihilated all within.
Finally, he used every ounce of his strength.
He strained to speak!
"Wait! I have no grudge against you! Why must you cut off my path of Reincarnation?!"
"We could have become the closest of friends!"
"I can even guide you! I can impart all the precious experience of my eight lifetimes to you! Do you really have to be so ruthless?!"
"If you give up on Reincarnation this time, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Tell me where you are! I will come to your door and offer you all my hidden treasures! From now on, we can call each other brothers!"
"I see you’re older than I am in this life, so from now on, you’ll be the elder brother, and I’ll be the younger! If you have any difficulties, I’ll help you!"
Lu Cang walked over slowly.
He spoke flatly, "There’s no need for any thanks. If you come find me again someday, I will be the one to give you a pointer or two."
"If you can still come, that is..."
Lu Cang stood before the white-haired, red-eyed boy.
He paused, then spoke again. "Speaking of which, I still don’t know your name."
"Never mind."
Invincible Stream—Deliberate Celestial Splitting Fall.
The Dagger struck, piercing straight into his forehead.
