Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

’Li Zhenyuan?!’

Zhao Xuanqi’s pupils contracted as he saw the mysterious figure’s true face, a flicker of shock passing through him.

Even he had never imagined that this mysterious person would turn out to be the legendary Holy Beast Divine General, Li Zhenyuan.

If he hadn’t just looked this man in the eyes at the end of Martial History not long ago, he would have found it impossible to make this judgment.

According to Yuan Tianhao’s experience, the mysterious figure was likely severing the path to becoming a Divine General in secret, transforming into a Celestial Demon to strike down top masters at the moment of their breakthrough and block their path to advancement.

Zhao Xuanqi had many theories about the mysterious figure’s identity, but he had never considered that it could be Li Zhenyuan.

After all, this man was the first person in this world to break through to the Divine General realm, the very pinnacle of the Divine Land’s Martial History. From any perspective, he had no reason to do such a thing.

Besides, even a Divine General was still human, and all humans eventually grow old and die. Even if a Divine General’s lifespan was longer than that of an ordinary master, it was impossible to live for several thousand years.

Countless clues flashed through his mind like lightning.

In Ancient Times, Li Zhenyuan had suddenly left the Cyan Dragon Sect Secret Land one day and never returned. This led the people of the Cyan Dragon Sect to believe he had not truly died and was still alive somewhere in the world.

Furthermore, when he left, he set up a mechanism in a secret chamber at the end of the Nine Dragon Cave. Only a Martial Artist who possessed the complete core legacy of the Hundred Beasts Fist—the Dragon Gate Secret Technique—could activate the mechanism and obtain the mysterious jade stone Li Zhenyuan had left behind.

Combining this with the matter of reincarnation, Zhao Xuanqi had originally guessed that Li Zhenyuan’s sudden disappearance was because he had reached the pinnacle of this world and then used a special method to reincarnate and leave. The jade stone was some kind of guide left for future generations, perhaps hiding the secrets of reincarnation.

But now, he realized his guess might have been wrong.

Li Zhenyuan hadn’t left this world. He had somehow managed to live until now. However, judging from his current appearance, his state seemed far from normal.

His body was covered in cracks, black flames spreading across it. His expression was savage and twisted, his gaze bloodthirsty and cruel.

This was a stark contrast to the temperament of the man he had seen at the end of Martial History.

’It seems his sudden departure back then wasn’t to reincarnate, but to do something of great importance. It was likely an extremely dangerous task, which is why he disappeared after leaving behind the mysterious jade stone.’

’What on earth happened back then?’

’Perhaps after I leave this place, that mysterious jade stone will give me the answer.’

However, he didn’t have much time to think. The other party’s intentions were clearly hostile, and the intense malice was now so strong it was almost tangible.

"Wouldn’t it be better to just die obediently? Why struggle? The end result is the same anyway. Why... why must you force my hand?!?!"

"Do you know? It hurts. It really, really hurts!!!"

Li Zhenyuan’s expression grew even more savage and twisted. A beast-like roar forced its way out of his throat, and the black flames coiling around him suddenly surged.

BOOM!!

The wings of the Black Flame Strange Bird beat, and the Black Flame spread rapidly.

SZZZ!!

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was burning violently. A terrifying pressure descended, and the silver light radiating from Zhao Xuanqi’s body began to rapidly contract.

The "Qi" he had only just grasped seemed unable to resist the opponent’s power.

"Die!!"

The savage, bloodthirsty look on Li Zhenyuan’s face intensified. He slowly spread his arms, swaying them gently. Wreathed in black flames, they seemed to transform into wings.

Zhao Xuanqi recognized the stance at a glance. It was an evolution of the Hundred Beasts Fist’s Soaring Form.

Legend had it that the Holy Beast Divine General, Li Zhenyuan, was most skilled in the Flying Bird Form. In the annals of the Hundred Beasts Fist from his previous life, Li Zhenyuan was even known as "Bai Feng"!

He tapped his toes lightly on the ground and shook his arms.

WHOOSH!!

In an instant, black flames flared and the strange bird spread its wings, lunging forward.

Li Zhenyuan’s body flashed through the space, appearing before Zhao Xuanqi in an instant.

As his arms vibrated, countless black flames transformed into feather-shaped blades of light, hurtling toward Zhao Xuanqi.

Demon Phoenix: Unquenchable Fire!!

This technique was not flashy—at least, compared to the likes of Mitsuro and Oono Bonan, it seemed utterly ordinary. Yet, an intense sense of crisis instantly flooded Zhao Xuanqi’s heart.

ROAR!!

He violently surged his Qi and Blood. Countless cells throughout his body generated power simultaneously, squeezing out his body’s deepest potential. He stimulated the newly formed Primordial Qi within him and struck out with a palm. In that instant, silver light burst forth. The form of a Qilin manifested, opening its massive jaws to bite down on the giant Black Flame Strange Bird and its countless falling feather-blades.

The Walking Beast Form and the Flying Bird Form clashed in an instant.

SZZZZZ!!

The silver Qilin collided with the Black Flame, creating a hissing sound like water instantly evaporating on a hot surface. The Primordial Qi he had projected was rapidly consumed by the Black Flame. The Qilin Form became difficult to maintain as the Black Flame cut into it.

RIP! RIP!

The flesh on Zhao Xuanqi’s body was sliced open by the Black Flame. Blood spurted out, but upon contact with the flames, it instantly evaporated and vanished.

Now that Zhao Xuanqi had broken through to the Divine General realm, his body was infused with Primordial Qi, which acted as an extremely powerful natural defense. An ordinary Martial Artist, even a Harmony master, would find it nearly impossible to breach this defense without using their full strength, let alone harm his body.

And yet, Li Zhenyuan’s attack had done so with ease.

This wasn’t particularly strange. The records of the Cyan Dragon Sect had mentioned that the Holy Beast Divine General of old was suspected of having already reached an even higher realm. Otherwise, he would not have been able to suppress the numerous Exotic Beasts back then. His true strength was immeasurable.
