Chapter 517: Chapter 516: Only This Life
“Does this thing have a backup?” Jiang Li caressed the Six Paths Reincarnation Tablet, its surface coarse. From it, he felt a deep essence of the Way of Reincarnation between life and death.
He attempted to perceive, but to no avail.
Only the dead could understand the Way of Reincarnation, which Jiang Li, in his pseudo-death state, couldn’t comprehend.
The female ghost guard cautioned warily, “Don’t mess around with it. This thing is extremely difficult to refine. The Human Emperor took considerable effort to recreate one piece just recently. During that time, the entire Reincarnation Area ceased operations, the King of Reincarnation and King Equality took a rest, leaving only the Human Emperor overtime working. It was not easy.”
“I don’t intend to try using it. I am not that sort of person.” Jiang Li explained earnestly, but the female ghost guard didn’t quite believe him.
“Jiang, the Human Emperor.” Two Yamas appeared behind Jiang Li, saluting him with a fist-palm salute.
Jiang Li knew without guessing that these two were the King of Reincarnation and King Equality.
He asked with a playful yet serious tone: “So, you two also want to test my strength?”
“Not us two, but us ten.”
King Equality spread out his arms, and eight figures enveloped in death qi appeared behind him.
All of the Ten Halls of Yama had arrived!
“Jiang, the Human Emperor, the fact that I was knocked down by your punch just now was merely an accident. I’ve made all the necessary preparations this time. Let’s have a rematch!”
Emperor Song King revealed his true Kylin form, exuding the majesty of the first Kylin creature that existed since the creation of the world.
“The same goes for the four of us. It’s just that your speed was too fast, and you took us by surprise, delivering a punch to each of us. We just found the ground comfortable and laid down for a while, but we won’t let you off easy this time!”
The four Yamas who ruled over the four great hells spoke at the same time, their fighting spirits high, and began gathering powerful divine skills.
One of the Yamas wondered if he had rushed over too hastily. He should have found out what was happening first. His five colleagues were beaten by Jiang Li, a strange situation no matter how you looked at it.
The whole thing had been too rash.
King Equality had a slight twitch in his face. Still claiming grandeur after being hit was a bit too much, wasn’t it?
“You all came over here. Have you finished with your work?” Jiang Li asked, scratching his ears.
The figures of the Ten Halls of Yama stiffened, and the enveloping death qi seemed to dissipate.
“This man’s power is vague. Let’s strike together and test his depth!” Considering the situation, they had to fight. King Equality waved his hand, commanding the nine other Yamas.
Emperor Song King took the initiative, speweing out the innate South Ming Li Fire from his mouth. Under his feet, a river of weak water appeared. The flames steamed, but the weak water did not float!
King Bian Cheng and King Du Shi, as well as others such as KKing of Reincarnation all launched their attacks on Jiang Li without holding back.
The Ten Halls of Yama were all in the realm of Golden Immortal. Their collective attack was unimaginably powerful!
“Upon seeing, it seems Golden Immortals are somewhat more superior compared to Heavenly Immortals.” Jiang Li smiled lightly, perceived the power contained in these skills, and commented unhurriedly. Any member of the Ten Halls of Yama was powerful enough to crush the Honghu Messenger.
“Well then, I’ll join you in the fun.” Jiang Li took one step and moved a thousand meters instantly, appearing before Emperor Song King.
Emperor Song King was taken aback and directed the weak water under his feet to engulf Jiang Li.
The weak water was so heavy that even a feather didn’t float, so Jiang Li sank to the bottom.
Jiang Li whispered softly: “Law of Heaven and Earth.”
A massive figure stood up from the weak water. The best way to prevent drowning – be higher than the water level.
The colossal Jiang Li hammerfisted down, hitting Emperor Song King and burying him into the ground.
“Although I don’t know how to do alchemy, I do know a bit of fire control.” In Jiang Li’s hand appeared a flame. It was none other than the South Ming Li Fire that Emperor Song King had prepared to attack with.
Emperor Song King was horrified to find his connection with the South Ming Li Fire was severed—Jiang Li had refined his South Ming Li Fire without his knowledge!
“The legendary Immortal Flames, the temperature is alright, but this flame seems to be enclosing another flame within.”
Jiang Li gave a tug and pulled out the flame that was hidden within the South Ming Li Fire.
The ultimate nemesis fire for souls, the Netherworld Ghost Fire.
Emperor Song King had initially planned to have the South Ming Li Fire explode and have the Netherworld Ghost Fire burn Jiang Li’s soul like bone-boring maggots. But he hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Li would separate the flames.
The South Ming Li Fire in Jiang Li’s hand blazed as the flame shot into the sky.
All the Yamas were in disbelief. This South Ming Li Fire was several to dozens of times stronger than the one Emperor Song King had used!
He had just acquired the South Ming Li Fire!
Jiang Li’s hands were cloaked separately in the South Ming Li Fire and the Netherworld Ghost Fire, like two gloves of red and black.
Jiang Li threw a light punch, sparking countless sparks. The black snow blown by King Du Shi was ignited.
The punch carried a gust of wind. The black snow, burned by the Netherworld Ghost Fire, latched onto King Du Shi, causing him pain such that he howled in agony.
One of the Yamas tried to use his pen to alter Jiang Li’s lifespan, but as he was about to write, the pen began to shake, and then broke in half.
As if this action would have significant karmic consequences, the pen decided it would break rather than writing.
“No matter how strong you are in this life, you won’t be this powerful in your next life!”
Behind the King of Reincarnation rose countless interlocking gears. She pointed a finger at Jiang Li, and the gears began to rotate at high speed, aiming to transform Jiang Li into his next life’s form.
This was the King of Reincarnation’s ultimate divine skill, “Crossing to the Next Life”. The aim was to transform enemies into their forms from the next life. It wasn’t possible for any being to maintain the same strength from their current life to the next.
Even the Taoist Ancestor couldn’t achieve this!
“No, this isn’t possible!” The Wheel-turning King screamed in horror and retreated again and again.
“How can there be a person without a next life, immortal, and unperishing? Why can’t I transform you temporarily into your next life form?”
The Wheel-turning King found out that Jiang Li had an unimaginable lifespan, so vast that she couldn’t see the end.
Could it be that this man’s lifespan truly doesn’t have an end?
Even the widely known Immortal of Infinite Life had a number count for his lifespan.
“What’s this? He only has this life, no past or future life?” The Wheel-turning King’s courage faltered. She had never encountered such a person before.
The Wheel-turning King had encountered the Taoist Ancestor, the Human Emperor, and the Immortal Emperor, but none of them exhibited such a characteristic.
Although Jiang Li didn’t understand either, it didn’t stop him from throwing punches.
The Wheel-turning King received a punch to her abdomen from Jiang Li, causing her to spin and fly out. The gears behind her crumbled and fell to the ground.
The Wheel-turning King was a female ghost. Jiang Li gave her some face, not hitting her face.
Wheel-turning King flew out in great disarray and was infuriated.
“Even if you don’t have this life, you should still have a past life. I can’t believe this is your first life!”
“Rewind to Past Life!” the Wheel-turning King roared, and the fallen gears reappeared behind him, forming a completely different shape than before.
Jiang Li approached this move calmly, but again, nothing happened.
The Wheel-turning King was also unable to turn Jiang Li back into his previous life.
“You actually only have this life, no previous or future lives!” The Wheel-turning King stumbled backward. The two attacks had drained all her energy.
Jiang Li arched an eyebrow.
