Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

By this point, she herself had lost her strength, the golden light on her body dimmed, and she stumbled two steps as she landed on the ground, almost falling over.

Xi Heng leaned closer and supported the other person's waist to keep their posture stable.

Looking at the golden skeletal monster that had been reduced to ruins, he couldn't help but praise it.

Jin You shook her head and said weakly:

"Let's leave quickly while we can. The strange tree has awakened and is about to break free of its restraints... This is beyond our ability to deal with."

She sighed softly and continued:

"Life and death are reversed, hell and the underworld are opened, and endless evil spirits descend upon the world... The events of a hundred years ago are about to be repeated, and who knows how many people will die this time."

Xi Heng listened and retreated in accordance with the other party's wishes.

But after taking only a few steps, the broken bones began to float up one by one, spinning in the air for a moment before filling in and joining together like puzzle pieces.

The black mist led the broken bones to reassemble, and soon they reformed into the original golden skull shape, continuing to gaze in this direction with its eerie, malevolent eyes.

As the hope in Jin You's eyes gradually faded, he muttered, "The Great Grudge in the Tree is continuously supporting this monster. No matter how many times you and I win, it will reassemble itself... It's over."

Xi Heng supported the other person, thought for a moment, and said, "Should I use my backup plan?"

"Is there any backup plan in this situation?" Jin You had no hope.

"Of course, there's more than one. Even if it gets a little more critical, it's okay." The girl smiled faintly at the predicament before her. "However, there might be a tiny side effect."

"What?" Jin You was stunned.

"This tree may suffer some permanent damage, but it should be fine, right?" Xi Heng nodded.

"Given the current situation..." Jin You seemed to have guessed something, and pursed her lips as she said:

"If we allow the Great Vengeance to truly break free, the entire city will be dragged into the control of the vengeful spirit. As long as Xiping City and its people can survive, we should do what needs to be done."

"Alright." Having received the promise, Xi Heng nodded and said, "Release the Pure Fire."

"It really is related to this..." Jin You hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe the other party.

A flash of light appeared on the ring on the fingertip, and a dense white flame immediately appeared before one's eyes.

Xi Heng approached, his right hand reaching inside, and relying on his control over the Pure Fire, he easily retrieved the white phoenix feather containing Yin Wanluan's divine consciousness, inserting it into his collar.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed another ball of pure fire and a white phoenix feather from his inventory and sent them together to the white flames in front of him.

The two identical white flames merged and intertwined, quickly becoming one.

A pure phoenix feather, untouched by divine consciousness, fell into it, and the white flame-like shape expanded.

Xi Heng flicked his right hand, bringing out nine more black crystal cores that fell into the white flames.

With each drop, a rich red hue is added to the interior of the pure white flame, expanding several times over.

When the ninth one went in, the flame turned completely crimson, enveloping the entire surrounding chaotic space.

The newly reconstructed golden skeleton was engulfed by raging flames. Xi Heng controlled the resentful fire, leaving a safe haven for her and Jin You.

He slowly opened his right hand, manipulating the crimson fire that had already spread throughout the area to expand further, seeping into the tree walls and the ground, scorching the entire giant tree from the inside out.

A sea of ​​red filled the field of vision, and all that could be heard was the roar of fire.

Jin You quietly watched the ball of fire, her heart churning with emotion, lost in thought.

Beyond the dome, a roar that sounded like an angry shout came from the Great Wrath, but it was difficult to hear because of the language barrier and the roar of fire.

Xi Heng watched as the boundless flames burned across everything before him, then released the flames within his body, causing their growth rate to accelerate once more.

From the outside, the pale golden light emanating from the central branch of the sacred tree turned fiery red.

The crackling sound of the fire could be heard, accompanied by eerie wails and howling flames.

Soon after, the flames that had started on the central branch spread to the surrounding branches and leaves and expanded rapidly.

The cultivators in the high heavens had just witnessed this scene and were still unable to understand why the golden light of the divine tree had turned red when the entire city of high heavens began to tremble violently.

The divine tree was disturbed, and the power supporting the heavens began to decline. Da Xiu hurriedly activated the great formations in various places to maintain it temporarily.

The flames of resentment spread across countless branches of the divine tree, extending downwards along its incredibly thick trunk.

The flames gradually appeared on the outside, burning the golden bark of the giant tree until it was charred red.

The dark clouds layered high in the sky gradually retreated, revealing gaps and breaks.

The most natural sunlight pierced through layers of dark clouds and fell directly into Xiping City below.

In an instant, whether it was office workers working hard, gang members fighting and selling contraband, or homeless people lying like corpses on the road or in their rooms, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up.

Sunlight shines on a roadside, attracting countless people who have never seen anything like it before to come and feel its warmth.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 283, Phoenix Cries at Dawn

A great fire rose, stretching along the trunk of the golden sacred tree that occupied the center of the city, and continued to spread.

It spread over the uneven bark, filling the cracks between the scales with the flowing firelight.

The fire arose from within and expanded outwards.

Although the cultivators in the high heavens quickly gathered some practitioners of cold water cultivation techniques and used their icy energy to cover the giant tree, they were unable to stop the spread of the burn marks.

The Sacred Realm of High Heaven began to tremble violently after the flames rose, shaking incessantly like an earthquake.

The ground, which had been stable for hundreds of years, was shaken open and cracked deeply. The outer cracks expanded into cliff shapes, while the central part was scattered.

Illuminated by the firelight, large areas of the surrounding buildings lost the support of the levitation array and plummeted straight down from the sky to the ground.

The mortals on the ground could only hear the rumbling that rose from above the layers of dark clouds, like muffled thunder.

But no lightning flashed or flowed in the clouds, nor did any lightning fall from the sky.

Huge objects could be seen rolling through the clouds, falling like shooting stars.

In the air, fragments detached from the sky were torn apart by the fierce wind, and thin glass and gemstone decorations, along with wooden beams and glazed tiles, scattered like a dazzling rain of colors, while the heavy main structure and the stones below bombarded the earth like meteorites.

The scene resembled a cannonball bombardment, with a sound no less deafening than thunder.

Small shards of glass are alright; at most, they might knock out pedestrians on the street.

As the meteorite-like main body of the building fell, it smashed the building and sank into the ground, causing the towering buildings to collapse, blocking the roads with boulders, and leaving the central city area riddled with holes like a beehive.

Screams and cries of panic rang out as countless figures and floating boats weaved through the meteor shower, fleeing at breakneck speed.

The fragments did not fall into the outer city; the people there simply watched as the sky collapsed, meteorites fell, and the divine tree was engulfed in flames.

On the surface of the divine tree, flames roared incessantly.

The upper leaves were engulfed in flames, shattered into sparks that drifted down from the clouds, shimmering red in the air before finally touching the ground and crumbling into ash.

The intense heat evaporated more and more of the dark clouds around the sacred tree, and the sunlight shone brightly on it, making it appear even more dazzling.

Crackling——

The flames crackled as they burned the bark, and the sacred tree's pale golden glow turned into a dark red fire.

Sparks and light drifted outwards, and the ground seemed to be covered with ashes as if it were a desert sandstorm.

People's bodies and heads were also covered in the same gray, as a special heavy snowfall had arrived.

The heavenly beings are desperately trying to put out the fire—even though the divine tree seems beyond saving.

People on the ground either tried their best to escape or stood still, watching the once-in-a-millennium apocalyptic scene unfold before them.

Inside the divine tree.

With a feather on his chest, Xi Heng manipulated the flames of resentment to engulf the entire tree. Now the trunk and crown are scorched, but the roots remain intact.

"As expected, the realm of Pure Fire is even higher than I thought... As long as the resentment and spiritual power are sufficient, burning this tree will be effortless."

The Purifying Fire gathered the spiritual power of the entire world, and the flames it unleashed were enough to cover the entire city.

At this moment, the Vengeful Heavenly Flame has fused with nine more Great Vengeful Crystal Cores, making it even more corrosive.

Therefore, it is unique that the demonic fire can devour some of the spiritual power and resentment stored in the divine tree during the burning process and turn it into its own, so it can burn more and more fiercely and unstoppably.

Even inside the divine tree, the terrifying monsters, also born of great resentment, could not withstand the eruption of demonic fire.

When the flames first started burning, it could still roar twice and howl a few times, making threats and admonitions in a voice that Xi Heng couldn't understand.

But at this moment, Xiping's great grievances could no longer roar; only weak, intermittent cries could be uttered.

Jin You had somehow ended up sitting in the same spot, quietly using her spiritual sense to observe the outside world through the charred tree bark that had lost its ability to block her view.

The sky was collapsing continuously from its edge, and countless cultivators tried their best to maintain it but could not stop it.

The flames of resentment spread and reached the higher ground, also located within the tree canopy, gradually encroaching on the cultivators' territory.

Outside the tree branch where Xi Heng was, Elder Qing, who had invited Jin You to return to the high heavens, had disappeared upon seeing the situation was not good.

Some of the more astute cultivators were already packing their bags to leave, while most were still confused about the situation and were simply reacting as the tide turned.

Just as everyone was doing their own thing, Elder Yang, who had gone outside the city to fight the strange army, saw that the situation was not good and quickly transformed into a golden light to lead his troops back.

Upon arrival, they found the area engulfed in flames, half of the sky was still intact, resentment filled the air, and many cultivators had already fled.

“Even if the grievances of Xiping have erupted, they shouldn’t be like this…” A shadow appeared in the eyes of the white-haired cultivator.

If Xi Heng were outside, he could recognize that the other party was the mastermind behind the trial of Jin You back then.

He was the one who asked the question, "Are you a cultivator or a mortal?"

The man had a weathered face, long, disheveled eyebrows, and wore a slightly torn white and gold robe. He held a Bagua array plate in one hand, closed his eyes, and silently pondered with his head down.

Golden light surrounded his palm, causing the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) to rotate.

After pinching his fingers a few times, he seemed to understand something, and looked at the burning sacred tree with a bitter smile.

"...So it was a karmic connection that borne fruit."

He looked back and saw that hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers had also returned from the battlefield and gathered behind him, waiting for orders.

The soldiers and generals were clad in golden armor, wielding swords, shields, magical weapons, or long spears in battle.

The old man looked back at the scorching sacred tree and chanted using telepathy:

“Your Highness Kim Yoo, the great resentment has subsided, and with my true power I can seal it away. There is no need for the evil fire to burn any longer... Could you please extinguish this fire and restore peace to Xiping?”

The sound penetrated the tree bark and fell into the small, safe space at the very heart of the raging fire.

Xi Heng and Jin You, who was squatting on the ground, exchanged a glance.

Then they heard the other person sigh softly and ask, "If we were to face a Nascent Soul cultivator, could we win?"

"Hmm...we can give it a try." Xi Heng has a certain ability to manipulate the burning tree flames, at least enough to attack and defend.

However, it is still unknown how to estimate their actual strength.

Facing that powerful and profound figure outside, I wonder if I can prevail.

However, since you can reload save files, you can make any choice without any worries.

"Then let's give it a try." Jin You closed her eyes slightly and used the same method of sound transmission to send her voice outwards:

"Elder Yang, please leave Xiping and never return. Your resentment will dissipate on its own, and everything will be at peace."

"Your Highness is joking." Another voice came from outside the tree bark: "If I am not here, the morale of the army will be hard to maintain, and the resentment outside the city will soon lead to its breach."

"I have my own way of dealing with this. I'll ask you one more time: are you leaving or not?" Jin You's voice grew colder.

Outside the tree, in the center of the High Heaven Sacred Domain illuminated by firelight, a white-haired elder shook his head and said:

"Does Your Highness distrust me so much? Qingmi should have said that the three of us would no longer obstruct Your Highness's wishes."

“Whether you like it or not, as long as you, this old-fashioned man, are still alive, things will never get done.” Jin You said calmly, “Within sixty breaths, sever your connection with the spiritual veins of this place and travel a hundred miles away, otherwise we will have to decide our life or death today.”

"Hehe..." Elder Yang outside let out a low laugh:

"Although you killed Jin Tianqing, there is still someone in the outer city who is a descendant of the Jin family. Don't think that you are the only one who can stabilize this tree and use this to threaten your elders."

"It seems you don't want to leave." Jin You took a deep breath and nodded to Xi Heng.

"Finally, you've finished your nonsense." Xi Hengjiao said, "There's no need to say so much. Just kill these guys who block the way."

"You're so carefree." Jin You smiled wryly, his eyes still filled with complex emotions.

Then, Xi Heng reached forward and buried his hand in the crimson flames that filled his vision.

Immediately, the flames on the trees outside curled and swirled, forming a claw shape a hundred meters wide, which then pounced fiercely towards Elder Gaotian's location.
