Chapter 69: The Endless Wheel of Reincarnation
The Endless Wheel of Reincarnation
The five elders had barely begun to rejoice.
Hope had only just returned to their eyes.
Then—
Their expressions froze.
An indescribable force descended upon them once again.
It came without warning.
Without form.
Without sound.
Yet it carried the irresistible authority of the Great Principle of World itself.
The Great Elder’s smile slowly disappeared.
His pupils shrank violently.
"N-No..."
"What... what is this?!"
Before anyone could react—
BOOM!!
His body exploded.
Once again.
Blood scattered across the heavens like crimson blossoms blooming beneath the afternoon sun.
His soul was shattered into countless fragments.
Before the remaining four elders could recover—
BOOM!!
Another elder burst apart.
Then another.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
One after another...
The remaining elders exploded exactly as before.
The sequence...
The order...
Even the timing...
Everything repeated perfectly.
The blood mist had only begun to drift through the air—
When the ancient Law of nature and worldly rhythm descended once more.
The shattered souls gathered together.
Broken flesh reconstructed itself.
Time reversed.
Life returned.
Within moments...
The five elders stood in the sky once again.
Exactly as before.
Their breathing became ragged.
Their faces turned ghostly pale.
Cold sweat poured from their foreheads.
One elder looked at his trembling hands.
"...Alive?"
"We..."
"...came back again?"
His voice shook uncontrollably.
Another elder suddenly grabbed his own face.
His breathing became increasingly frantic.
"No..."
"No..."
"This isn’t resurrection..."
"This..."
"This is..."
Before he could finish—
BOOM!!
His body exploded for the third time.
The remaining elders screamed.
"No!!"
"STOP!!"
"PLEASE!!"
But the cycle had already begun.
Again...
And again...
And again...
Every resurrection was immediately followed by another horrifying death.
Their bones shattered.
Their flesh burst apart.
Their souls were torn into countless fragments.
Every sensation remained perfectly clear.
Nothing was dulled.
Nothing was mercifully forgotten.
Each death felt even more agonizing than the last.
Each rebirth restored every nerve.
Every memory.
Every ounce of terror.
Only so they could suffer again.
Victor quietly watched everything unfold.
Resting calmly within his palm was the Eternal Multicolored Soul Wine Grail.
Its translucent surface shimmered with flowing rainbow-colored light.
Ancient runes revolved around the Heavenly-Rank treasure as endless reincarnation power continued spreading across the battlefield.
Combined with Victor’s mastery over the True Meaning of Reincarnation...
The treasure’s terrifying ability reached an unimaginable level.
Life...
Death...
Rebirth...
Destruction...
Everything had become part of an endless cycle.
To everyone present...
It felt less like a treasure.
And more like the judgment of Heaven itself.
The five elders completely broke.
"NO!!"
One elder clawed desperately at his own head.
"I don’t want to die again!"
"I don’t want to feel it again!"
Another screamed until his throat became hoarse.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
His voice cracked from despair.
"Kill me!"
"Please!"
"Just kill me completely!"
"I’ll tell you anything!"
"I’ll do anything!"
The Great Elder’s pride had disappeared entirely.
He slammed his forehead repeatedly against the invisible force surrounding him.
Blood poured down his face.
His voice had become pitiful.
"Patriarch Victor!"
"I beg you!"
"I beg you!"
"Please destroy my soul!"
"Please don’t let me revive again!"
"I’d rather disappear forever than suffer another cycle!"
The remaining elders cried alongside him.
Their desperate pleas echoed throughout Aurelia City.
"PLEASE!"
"KILL US COMPLETELY!"
"WE WERE WRONG!"
"PLEASE..."
The horrifying screams sent chills down everyone’s spine.
The spectators no longer looked at Victor with simple respect.
They looked at him with reverence.
With awe.
With fear.
Nobody doubted his authority anymore.
Because everyone now understood one terrifying truth.
Death...
Was not the end.
Not if Victor willed otherwise.
One elderly cultivator’s lips trembled.
"I’ve cultivated for over two hundred years..."
"...yet today..."
"...I’ve witnessed something beyond even the legends."
Another martial artist swallowed hard.
"This..."
"This isn’t simply killing."
"This is eternal punishment."
Nearby, several cultivators instinctively stepped backward.
None of them dared even glance directly toward the Salvatore Estate.
One whispered with a pale face,
"The Salvatore Family..."
"...must never be provoked."
"Not in this lifetime."
"Not in any lifetime."
Another nodded vigorously.
"We were all wrong."
"The Salvatore Family’s foundation..."
"...is unfathomably deep."
"Their Patriarch..."
"...is someone we cannot even begin to comprehend."
Above the silent city...
The endless cycle continued.
Death.
Rebirth.
Death once more.
Again...
And again...
And again...
Their screams gradually transformed from cries of pain...
Into cries of absolute despair.
----
The horrifying cries echoed across the skies above Aurelia City.
Every scream was sharper than the last.
Every death more agonizing.
Every rebirth more hopeless.
The endless cycle continued without pause.
Death...
Rebirth...
Death once more...
Again...
And again...
The five elders had long since abandoned every trace of dignity.
Their minds had completely collapsed beneath the endless torment.
No longer were they mighty Heavenly Genesis Realm experts of the Crimson Abyss Sect.
They were merely prisoners trapped within an eternal nightmare.
The countless spectators watched in absolute silence.
Not a single soul dared utter another word.
Even the wind seemed unwilling to disturb the terrifying scene unfolding before them.
One old cultivator slowly closed his eyes.
"So this..."
"...is true despair."
Another elder standing beside him nodded stiffly.
"Compared to this..."
"...death is mercy."
No one disagreed.
Across the street, inside a bustling tavern, a lone swordsman dressed in flowing green robes silently lowered the wine cup in his hand.
His sharp eyes never left Victor.
His usually calm expression had become unusually solemn.
"It seems..."
"...the rumors greatly underestimated him."
He slowly exhaled.
"This Sword Emperor Victor not only possesses Sword Intent capable of splitting the heavens..."
"...he also commands divine abilities that defy all reason."
