Chapter 1201: Controlling Samsara; Transcending The Paths
The Six Paths converged, and the fate of the Samsara was willful!
The Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families inside the light-wheel naturally knew the situation of the Six-Path Samsara best.
"What's the matter? Why is the power of the Purgatory Path weakening?" The Sky Path was the most important part of the Six-Path Samsara, and the Ancient Ancestor who controlled the Sky Path was the first to realize that something was amiss.
He snapped at the Purgatory Path Master.
"Everyone, I have no idea why my strength is weakening rapidly, but it seems like the Purgatory Path is out of my control!" the Purgatory Path Master said helplessly.
Although he felt very uncomfortable with this reprimand, he could not react to the sudden change.
"My power in the Humanity Realm is still the same, but I think the power of the Sky Path is increasing," the Humanity Path Master said.
"How about the other paths?"
"The power of the Ghoul Path has not changed!"
"The power of the Asura Path remains unchanged!"
The Sky Path Master also noticed the problem and said heavily, "I will weaken the power of the Sky Path, and the Purgatory Path Master will strengthen..."
As soon as he mentioned increasing the power of the Purgatory Path, the light-wheel that the six of them were desperately maintaining seemed like it was on the verge of collapsing.
"Not good! I can't keep this up!" the Beast Path Master said anxiously.
Right after he said that, the crumbling motion surged toward the six of them like a torrent of shattered void!
All six of them conjured the powers of the realms they controlled at once but were still blown away like bugs meeting a strong headwind. They were unable to put up any form of resistance.
The moment the light-wheel was shattered, all six of them felt that something even scarier was about to happen! They felt that the supreme power in their minds, which had allowed them to control the Six Paths, had suddenly vanished.
Although they thought that they could still manipulate the six realms they controlled, they felt as though their identities had changed. They had gone from being the controllers of the realm to being administrators.
There was a huge gap between the two statuses.
"Luo Yunyang has passed the test!" the Sky Path Master said in fear. They knew very well how dire the situation would become once Luo Yunyang went through this ordeal.
It could even be said that once Luo Yunyang passed this trial, their fates would be at his mercy.
"Quick! Find a way to kill Luo Yunyang! Do it at all costs!" the Asura Path Master roared.
After stabilizing their bodies, the masters of the Six Paths began to conjure their techniques in an effort to find Luo Yunyang, who posed a great threat to them.
Unfortunately, although they searched desperately, they could not find any traces of Luo Yunyang.
The more time elapsed, the more threatening Luo Yunyang would seem to the Six Path Masters.
"Destroy the Six Paths now. If we can't have it, then he shall forget about taking it too!" The Asura Path Master cried out hysterically.
"You are crazy. The six realms are the foundation we live on. We will all die when the Great Era Calamity arrives if we make the six realms collapse!" the Humanity Path Master said almost immediately.
"But if we don't take advantage of this time to destroy the six realms, they will eventually be controlled by Luo Yunyang."
"What that happens, we will not even survive, let alone think about challenging our Lord with the Six Paths."
The Asura Path Master began to frantically urge the energy in his body as he spoke. This time, he wasn't going to hold back anymore.
The very moment the Asura Path Master moved his palms, the Ghoul Path Master, the Beast Path Master, and the Purgatory Path Master also made their moves.
The Humanity Path Master hesitated for a brief moment before asking the Sky Path Master, "Do we really need to make the six realms collapse?"
"We have no choice!" As the Sky Path Master spoke, he moved his hands swiftly to form a series of hand seals. Shortly, the Sky Path Realm reappeared behind him and started to crumble.
After a short moment, the realms hidden in the six portraits would collapse completely.
"Don't you guys think that you should seek the opinion of the master whose belongings you're going to destroy?" A faint voice with a hint of mockery echoed in the void.
When the voice spoke, Luo Yunyang's figure appeared in front of the six of them.
The six Path Masters, who had already initiated the destruction of the six realms, suddenly felt that the power they had conjured was having a hard time moving forward.
Of course, one could imagine why.
"Luo Yunyang, die!" the Asura Path Master shouted at the top of his voice as he dashed toward Luo Yunyang frantically.
The Asura Path Master was the most talented at fighting. Thus, he was also the one with the strongest intent to fight. Seeing how the situation had evolved, it was impossible for the Asura Path Master to not be angry.
Although it was difficult for him to destroy the Asura Realm, he was still able to mobilize the power of the Asura Path as fast as lightning.
Luo Yunyang glanced at the Asura Path Master, who was coming for him, and scoffed at the sight. He did not even so much as budge an inch.
"You must have a death wish!" After Luo Yunyang said that, a blood-red whip appeared in the Asura Realm and lashed heavily at the body of the Asura Path Master.
The Asura Path Master, who had originally surged toward Luo Yunyang like crazy with impressive might, suddenly looked like a toy mercilessly thrown to the ground by the lashing whip.
The Asura Path Master's eyes were bloodshot. He was extremely furious, but at the same time, he could hardly believe what had happened.
He had been knocked to the ground directly by the Asura Realm.
The Sky Path Master, the Humanity Path Master, and the Purgatory Path Master, who had been about to take action, were all looking at the fallen Asura Path Master in shock.
Although the Sky Path Master was the leader among the six of them, the Asura Path Master was undoubtedly the best in terms of combat capabilities.
Hence, they could not believe it when they saw the Asura Path Master pinned to the ground during the battle against Luo Yunyang.
"You have become the Six-Path Master. How did you pass the test of the Six Paths and how did you become the Six-Path Master?"
The Sky Path Master had already lost his previous composure, as his words sounded rather incoherent.
Luo Yunyang agreed very much with what the Sky Path Master had said. If he hadn't been pushed to the edge and had not activated his attribute regulator, he would have been decimated silently by the Samsara light-wheel.
"I am the Samsara Controller, so passing this trial of the Samsara was naturally no problem for me," Luo Yunyang, who did not want to disclose his secrets, said casually.
"You must be right. My brothers and I have not been able to become the Six-Path Master in all these years. Since you became the Six-Path Master that easily, it must be because you were destined to be the Samsara Controller. Otherwise, who would have such capabilities?" the Sky Path Master said with a stupefied look on his face.
It was impossible to control the spirit consciousness of someone with a cultivation level like the Sky Path Master.
The reason the Sky Path Master had believed Luo Yunyang's words so easily was not that he was a fool, but because he could not accept the fact that someone had casually accomplished something he had tried for years to achieve.
In the end, this emotion blinded his rationale.
The Humanity Path Master observed the situation and made a decision immediately. He turned to Luo Yunyang and said heavily, "Since you are the Six-Path Master, according to the agreement made when we obtained the Six Path Divine Portraits, you are now our master."
"Your subordinates pay their respects, Six-Path Master!"
One could say that the Humanity Path Master had taken the lead because, shortly after he said that, the Ghoul Path Master and the other Path Masters also reacted. There was almost no chance of them turning things around, so submitting to Luo Yunyang was the only option left.
"Your subordinates pay their respects, Six-Path Master!"
When the two of them took the lead, the other four path masters also bowed down to Luo Yunyang. They weren't stupid. Now that their fate was in Luo Yunyang's hands, they would never act recklessly around him.
Luo Yunyang glanced at the Ancient Ancestors of the Six Ancient Families, who bowed before him, and said nonchalantly, "Although you were all very respectful when you bowed to me, I know that you wish I would die right now in order to regain your freedom!"
Although what Luo Yunyang said about the intentions of the Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families was spot-on, they still said in unison, "Your honor, you have become the Six-Path Master. Our destiny is in your hands now. It is only right that we listen to your commands. We will serve you loyally and never dare to rebel."
Luo Yunyang looked at the six Ancient Ancestors, who were eagerly showing their loyalty and smiled slightly. "Although I know that you will not betray me, it is very uncomfortable for me to have you around me. Since I have become the Six-Path Master, I should have my own true Kings helm my six realms. It's time all of you transcended the Paths!"
Transcended the Paths? When this sentence was uttered by Luo Yunyang, the Ancient Ancestors of the Six Ancient Families took flight almost at the same time. How could they not know what transcending the Paths meant when they had been in control of the six realms for such a long time?
Although it seemed like they would be able to attain immortality by transcending the Paths, it also meant that their spirit consciousness was going to be wiped clean.
In other words, they would no longer be themselves and they would become sky laws that would flow according to the rules of nomological laws in the six realms.
It was impossible to resist Luo Yunyang, so all they could do now was escape. Unfortunately, Luo Yunyang would not allow them to escape as they wished since he had already thought of making them transcend the Paths.
"Are you leaving? It's too late!" Luo Yunyang did not pursue them, but the moment they were about to escape out of the six realms, chains formed by nomological laws rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, those chains had wrapped around the bodies of the six people tightly in the void.
"Human Ruler, please have mercy. We will definitely help you fight the being that destroys Great Eras as long as you spare our lives. Our understanding of the being that destroys Great Eras goes beyond your knowledge. We can help you slay that existence, Human Ruler!"
The Ghoul Path Master cried out, as he was on the verge of going crazy.
However, the Asura Path Master growled crazily and cursed loudly. Unfortunately, his words had no effect whatsoever.
Luo Yunyang didn't really wish to say anything else to them. He also believed that the Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Six Families could give him some information on the being that destroyed Great Eras, but he didn't have to spare them if he really wanted to obtain this information.
As long as they transcended the Six Paths, all their memories would be crystal-clear to him.
Luo Yunyang really did not have much to say to the six Ancient Ancestors. He tapped his finger gently and reined in the chains that had flown out of the six realms.
In an instant, the six Ancient Ancestors disappeared into the portraits they had previously controlled.
A short while later, a king reappeared in each of the six portraits. They all looked no different from before, but in fact, the six Kings had lost their spiritual consciousness.
They were just like the characters in the portraits.
After doing this, Luo Yunyang did not immediately leave the power formed by the six realms. He was pondering something, or rather, he was mulling over a sentence.
"The plundering shall not cease if the Sacred Venerate does not die!"
Luo Yunyang understood the meaning of this sentence very well. However, he had never expected that the Samsara Wheel would be related to the Sacred Venerate.
Or rather, he had not expected that the previous owner of the Samsara Wheel would be killed by the Sacred Venerate. The reason the test of the previous Samsara Wheel owner was so tough was that it was impossible for anyone to pass because he thought that the next owner had to possess incredible ability in order to fight that Sacred Venerate.
Otherwise, there would be no way to beat the Sacred Venerate.
Luo Yunyang had never thought of fighting against the Sacred Venerate. Thanks to the improvement of his cultivation base, he had become more and more aware of the difficulties of improving his cultivation.
Luo Yunyang's cultivation wasn't even comparable to the cultivation of the 12 Yuan Sages in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, let alone to the Sacred Venerate.
It would be a pipe dream to even think about fighting against the Sacred Venerate with his current cultivation base.
Based on his status in the Vast Sky Sacred Land, it seemed as though he was also a disciple of the Sacred Venerate. How could he fight against the Sacred Venerate?
However, the words left by the previous owner of the Samsara Wheel were like a curse that appeared constantly in Luo Yunyang's heart.
"The way the Sacred Venerate treats all things as chess pieces will one day take you down the path of confrontation!"
Although Luo Yunyang knew that he had never heard this sentence before, these words echoed continuously in his heart.
After gently shaking his head and casting aside the words of the last trace of consciousness of the Samsara Wheel's previous owner, Luo Yunyang tapped gently the six portraits and a six-colored halo appeared behind him.
