Chapter 468: Chapter 242: Archenemy
’It might be a trap...’
’But if I miss this chance, I might never be able to attain Reincarnation again in this lifetime.’
Saint One stood before the Restriction.
Beyond the hall, an endless Sea of Trees swayed and rustled. But they were far in the distance, not disturbing this isolated place of Reincarnation.
As Saint One gazed at the Holy Hall before him, his heart was flooded with countless premonitions.
A sense of danger warned him again and again.
The feeling wasn’t just strong; it was so intense it made his heart pound in his chest.
’I don’t know how long it’s been since I had such a strong premonition... Perhaps I’ll die in this Trial!’
But...
’Am I supposed to be afraid just because of this?’
A thousand thoughts were actually racing through Saint One’s mind.
But he could no longer afford to dwell on what was right or wrong.
’How much longer will this inheritance even be available?’
’If I miss this opportunity, will I ever get a final chance again?’
He recalled how, in the beginning, he had only heard a rumor. It led him to an ancient battlefield, where he finally found the site of the Reincarnation Inheritance.
He had slaughtered every powerful enemy and suppressed all the Reincarnation Corpses.
Every person who had died there was a powerful expert who had also come after hearing rumors of Reincarnation.
Just hearing of a chance at Reincarnation.
The hope of eternal life was enough to make them charge forward, one after another, to their deaths.
Back then, he had also felt this same sense of crisis. Back then, he had also possessed the spirit to press on even if it meant facing thousands or millions of foes!
’In this world, how many things can be one hundred percent certain?’
’As long as you find a sliver of hope, isn’t that enough?’
’For the rest, I am invincible!’
Saint One passed through the Restriction and stepped inside.
Standing before the magnificent doors of the Holy Hall, he let out a long breath...
With his experience as an Array Master, he knew the Restriction before him wasn’t impenetrable. He could probably find a way to break it if he spent a great deal of time.
But the Restriction was also a form of test.
"It seems this is a test of my willingness to let go of the accumulations of many lifetimes, of whether I have the courage to start over even after being struck down time and time again."
Before the doors, Saint One’s gaze was firm. "I, of course, can let it go."
"Even if I lose everything, I will climb my way back up from the bottom."
"Even if I can never attain Reincarnation again, I can still rise to power in this life."
"I can lose everything, but at the same time, I will strive to obtain everything I can."
"This is my answer."
Saint One stepped forward and removed all the equipment from his body, taking off all his storage items.
In his original form as a child, he carried no external objects. With only himself, he strode forward.
Saint One felt it.
The Restriction suddenly dissolved, welcoming him inside.
At the same time, a gray robe drifted down from mid-air...
Saint One put on the robe.
’The robe is even tailored to my current size.’
’How thoughtful.’
’It seems... the Trial has officially begun.’
Saint One walked slowly into the hall. He saw that its interior was veiled in clouds and mist, with lights of various colors swirling within.
A faint figure also appeared before Saint One.
The figure held a War Spear wreathed in faint specks of starlight and appeared to be a child about the same age as Saint One.
"You are my Trial?"
Saint One asked calmly. His Perception swept over Lu Cang, but he gleaned no information.
He couldn’t sense Lu Cang’s physical strength, couldn’t perceive the level of his Magic Power, and couldn’t even feel any Perception emanating from him.
He seemed utterly mysterious.
Lu Cang spoke, "Yes, I am your Trial."
「Wish Fulfilled: The lie I fabricated about Reincarnation has been believed.」
Saint One had believed the lie Lu Cang told him today.
"If you can kill me, you will be able to attain Reincarnation once more."
Lu Cang’s voice was icy, filled with a calm killing intent.
Saint One felt an incredibly strong premonition of danger!
BOOM!
In just an instant!
Lu Cang’s War Spear shot forth!
With his life in extreme danger, Saint One’s reactions were suddenly pushed to their absolute limit!
Just like Lu Cang had an epiphany in his own life-or-death crisis!
In the instant before death, he too attained a reaction Speed that felt as if time had stopped.
He wanted to cast Magic!
But in that moment, he felt a restraining force from the robe he was wearing! His Magic Power couldn’t flow!
’This robe!’
’It’s a Forbidden Magic Robe!’
The tip of the spear was already about to touch his heart. In his desperation, Saint One immediately burst out with an extremely impassioned cry!
"Root Source! Do you still remember my..."
But the moment he opened his mouth!
He inhaled the mist that permeated the entire Reincarnation Hall.
He could no longer speak the second half of the sentence!
AHHH—
His mouth was wide open! He struggled with all his might but couldn’t make a single sound! His call was completely suppressed!
"That’s enough..."
Lu Cang’s voice was frigid as his spear pierced through Saint One’s body.
WHOOSH!
It went straight through his heart.
Saint One stared in disbelief at the War Spear that had penetrated his body, his expression filled with utter disbelief.
’Why did it end like this?’
’Why was I defeated so easily!’
’Why didn’t Reincarnation give me even a sliver of a chance!’
He had considered that he might fail, but it should never have been this easy, never this powerless!
’Why was there a Restriction on the robe that sealed Magic?’
’Why couldn’t I finish my call?’
’I was supposed to be able to use a Ritual, through Reincarnation, to temporarily restore the power of one of my past lives!’
’That Ritual was set up in a previous life. All I had to do was call upon it to complete it!’
