In the distance, one could vaguely see an unparalleled being sitting alone on the battlefield, carving one tombstone after another.

Li Dao was also in a daze for a moment, as if he felt the same way as Ling Chuxi, this peerless genius. Seeing his commander in such a miserable state, he felt a sudden pang of sadness.

call out!

Just then, a golden light flashed before his eyes, quickly pulling him out of this strange sensation. He withdrew his hand from the tombstone, his eyes filled with horror.

"This tombstone actually has a synesthetic effect; one can unknowingly become immersed in it. Moreover, the flow of time here is much slower than outside, which suggests that the laws of this place have been affected!"

Li Dao was on guard. He took a deep look at the tombstone and immediately disappeared from the spot, following the trail of golden light.

call out!

His figure sped across this desolate world, with chaotic energy surging beneath him. It was an unhealable sword wound that had shattered the heavens and earth, and was now gushing with chaotic energy.

Even though the sword mark was far away from him, it still made his heart tremble and he felt the divine power of that sword.

The wings of the Kunpeng appeared behind Li Dao, and with a gentle sway, the rapid transformation of Yin and Yang carried him away from this place in an instant, and the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred.

He also saw the golden light floating in front of him. It was a speck of dust, radiating golden light, as if it had gained sentience. No matter how Li Dao reached out, he could not grasp it.

Boom boom boom!

The universe trembled as Li Dao raised his hand, his enormous hand reaching out to grab the speck of dust, but he couldn't catch it no matter what he did. His giant palm slammed onto the island, but it didn't even cause a ripple.

"What is this thing!" Li Dao's eyes widened as he saw a broken Dao pattern on the speck of dust, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"A single broken Dao pattern caused such a change in a grain of dust!"

Just as Li Dao was about to make a move, he had somehow arrived in front of a huge cliff. The cliff stretched across the entire space, and the scattered stars were twinkling with divine light.

What struck him was that grains of dust, radiating golden light, were drifting before his eyes, illuminating the world around him.

The dust particles slowly drifted towards a certain direction, and Li Dao followed the direction in which they drifted, heading towards the edge of the cliff.

When Li Dao followed Jin Chen to the edge of the cliff, he froze on the spot, his mind trembling as if he had seen some terrifying being.

On the edge of that precipice, beneath the starry sky, sat a figure radiating golden light, sitting quietly. Before him lay an endless abyss, and behind him were rows of tombstones.

This is a solitary figure sitting atop a precipice for countless years. Just looking at that figure, Li Dao felt as if he were an unparalleled god, sitting amidst the starry river, guarding his tombstone alone.

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Dao quickly snapped out of it. His eyes flashed with a penetrating light as he saw that the golden dust particles floating around him were all drifting out from the sand pile beneath that imposing figure.

Clearly, those dust particles had permeated the Daoist essence of that figure, and over the years, this strange change had occurred.

Li Dao suppressed his surging emotions and bowed deeply to the retreating figure, saying:

"Junior Li Dao greets Senior!"

His tone was solemn, and his demeanor respectful, but after he finished speaking, only his voice echoed under the vast starry sky.

Li Dao waited for a moment, and seeing that there was still no movement, he mustered up his courage and slowly walked over. The closer he got to the figure radiating golden light, the more he could feel the pressure.

When he arrived at the foot of the cliff, he saw that the ground beneath it was as black as ink, and death energy that seemed almost tangible was flowing there.

The restless death energy seemed to fear the being on the cliff, and one person blocked it below the cliff.

When Li Dao looked to his side, he saw that the person who had been sitting there alone was gone, replaced by a man in white.

He exuded a gentle aura and looked at Li Dao with a slight smile, as if he were an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. The smile on his lips was like a spring breeze, making Li Dao feel no sense of vigilance.

"This deathly aura, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, can erode all things and obliterate all paths. Be careful not to fall into it." As the gentle words were spoken, Li Dao quickly pulled his head back after sticking it out.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the man in white and said:

"May I ask your honorable name, senior?"

"I am but a trace left by heaven and earth, and the world calls that person Li Baiyi." The smile on Li Baiyi's lips faded slightly.

Li Dao was shocked. The figure sitting alone on the edge of the cliff, suppressing the utter silence, was actually just a mark imprinted between heaven and earth.

"Greetings, Senior Li Baiyi!" Li Dao quickly regained his senses. Although it was just a mark, it was still not to be underestimated.

"Heh, sit down and play chess with me." Li Baiyi smiled and lifted a white jade chessboard from the ground.

Suppressing his curiosity, Li Dao sat down opposite Li Baiyi.

"I won't stand on ceremony," Li Dao said, cupping his hands in greeting and taking the black pieces to make the first move.

"It's been a long time since anyone has kept me company, please." Li Baiyi's smile remained warm.

The two sat on opposite sides of a chessboard atop a precipice, one side shrouded in an aura of death as dark as ink, capable of swallowing everything, the other side a tombstone standing serenely.

Li Baiyi and Li Daoyi started playing chess without saying a word. Both of them moved very quickly, and soon the chessboard was filled with black and white pieces.

Hey!

The white piece landed on the chessboard, creating ripples. After making this crucial move, Li Baiyi suddenly looked at Li Dao, his tone no longer warm, but filled with a cold inquiry:

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Li Dao's hand, which was holding the chess piece, paused for a moment, but he still spoke without hesitation:

"Have!"

He cultivated the path of reincarnation, and the deeper he went into cultivating it, the more he felt the mystery of reincarnation.

"Oh? Are you so sure?" Li Baiyi became somewhat interested upon hearing this.

"Spring goes and autumn comes, seasons turn, life and death, yin and yang, all are cycles."

Hey!

Black cut off White's retreat, and the board was suddenly filled with killing intent. Black's horizontal and vertical moves subtly gained the upper hand.

Li Baiyi smiled and dealt with the situation with ease. The chess pieces were placed without leaving a trace, yet they were subtly connected, like hidden threads leading to a future event.

"How can you verify that what you say is true?" Li Baiyi asked again. As the white piece was placed on the chessboard, the situation changed again. The white piece that should have died was activated as Li Baiyi placed the piece.

"I will enter the cycle of reincarnation through life and death, isn't that it!" Li Daoheiqi was decisive and ruthless, following closely behind, his killing intent soaring.

Li Baiyi asked again, and Li Dao answered directly to his heart without flinching.

As they went back and forth, the pace of their game slowed down, and their questions became more in-depth, requiring Li Dao to spend more and more time thinking.

Da-da-da

The crisp sound of pieces being placed echoed from the cliff; the two had actually been playing this game of chess for a year.

Hey!

As Li Baiyi placed his piece on the board, the killing intent vanished instantly.

A draw!

"Having said so much, have you truly lived? Or rather, do you yearn to live? Even if you are lonely for ten thousand years, even if all the realms are silent." Li Baiyi looked at Li Dao, his gaze seemingly penetrating Li Dao's inner world.

“I have never truly died, but I will always yearn to live, even until the end of time.” Li Dao looked directly into Li Baiyi’s eyes, his tone firm.

a long time.

Li Baiyi then spoke slowly:

“I know your intentions and understand your determination. Now that you’ve come here, let me help you this once.”

"The death energy accumulated here over thousands of years is enough for you to truly experience death. I also want to see if your so-called cycle of life and death can be achieved."

Li Dao rose and bowed to Li Baiyi, then looked at the endless deathly aura and said firmly:

"From life to death, and from death to life, there is great terror as well as great opportunity between life and death."

Chapter 431 Experiencing Reincarnation, Crossing Life and Death!

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion flashed in Li Baiyi's eyes.

"Between life and death lies great terror, but also great opportunity. If that's the case, then let's begin." Li Baiyi shook his head, but a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

After Li Baiyi finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved his sleeve. The chessboard between the two of them began to collapse inch by inch from the center, turning into a black hole that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

"Enter this game of chess, experience all kinds of life, and understand the cycle of reincarnation."

After Li Baiyi finished speaking, Li Dao slowly sat back down opposite Li Baiyi. As soon as he sat down, the black hole seemed to want to devour his mind.

His eyes involuntarily closed, his soul sinking as if into an endless abyss.

Meanwhile, opposite Li Baiyi, Li Dao sat by the chessboard with his eyes closed and his pulse stopped beating, like a lifeless statue, one hand holding a chess piece and placing it on the board.

The next moment, death energy began to surge from the bottom of the cliff. Strands of heavy death energy slowly rose up the cliff and flowed into Li Dao's body, gradually devouring the light above his head.

hum!

Li Dao's body suddenly trembled, and the death energy within him vibrated incessantly and increased rapidly. As the death energy from below the cliff surged in, his body trembled again, and his Dao body emitted divine light.

This is the vitality emanating from the body, tempering its physique.

A look of surprise flashed across Li Baiyi's eyes upon seeing this, but he quickly regained his composure, and his figure gradually began to fade away.

"Life and death are illusions, death is the catalyst for life, the first signs of reincarnation are visible. Good luck... to those who follow..."

Li Baiyi's figure slowly dissipated, the chessboard disappeared, and there was no trace of Li Baiyi's presence in the world. Even the imposing figure sitting cross-legged on the cliff disappeared.

Instead, it was Li Dao who appeared.

He sat on the precipice like a stubborn rock, with wisps of death energy rapidly flowing into his body from beneath him, his life force gradually fading until his body became completely cold.

With its life force exhausted, its once radiant body was gradually eroded by death energy, its bones and flesh withered like delicate flowers, and its figure slowly became emaciated over time.

In another time and space, Li Dao slowly opened his eyes. His sinking soul seemed to have hit the bottom, but as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face full of worry.

"Chu tide? How are you? Has your injury improved?" A gentle female voice came, instantly bringing Li Dao back to his senses.

"Chu tide? Ling Chu tide? Have I become that prodigy from Qingwei Heaven?"

Before he could react, the woman threw herself into his arms, her voice choked with sobs as she spoke to 'Ling Chuxi':

"I thought you would never come back. The alien invasion was too fierce. If it weren't for Lord Li Baiyi's help, we would have been wiped out!"

At this moment, Li Dao also understood what was going on. This was what Li Baiyi's trace meant by experiencing all kinds of life. So that's how it is.

Li Dao got up from the bed, a heart-wrenching pain shooting through his lower back.

"What's wrong with you?" With Chen Rou's help, Li Dao slowly walked out of the cave.

Lifting the curtain, one sees the vast desert swirling with blood-red sand, and a deep crack in the sky lingering for a long time.

A dense, lingering killing intent permeated the distance, and an overwhelming sense of deathly silence and desolation filled the entire world.
