Chapter 40: War Rekindled, Slaughter and Salvation

  Li Yi returned to the Union headquarters after introducing the power of life and achieving "Rebirth Sword Dao", where he consolidated his cultivation while integrating his killing power with the power of life.

  Compared to introducing the power of slaughter and the power of life, it's much easier to grind them together. As long as they are successfully ground together, the power of slaughter and the power of life can be freely converted through Li Yi's body as a medium.

  In the process of grinding and killing power and vitality, Li Yi was also constantly contemplating the true meaning of Nirvana.

  Time flew rapidly as Li Yi was in seclusion, and in the blink of an eye, another 500,000 years had passed. After such a long period of grinding and killing, the power of killing and the power of life were almost freely convertible, but still a bit obscure and not perfect yet.

  But Li Yi was already very satisfied, now the strength is being improved a bit, a black killing force in his body and a green life force are constantly flowing and converging on the dantian, forming a half-green and half-black rotating Tai Chi diagram, the two forces are constantly transforming each other here.

  Having grasped the deeper meaning of killing and life, the true meaning of Nirvana is easier to understand. After 50,000 years of closed cultivation, Li Yi had basically grasped the essence of Nirvana.

  What is Nirvana, Nirvana is eternity, Nirvana is void, while life and death are transient, are real. The existence of all things will eventually perish, only the void is eternal.

  Birth and death are a cycle, and between the two is Nirvana. Many great sages of later generations spoke of attaining Nirvana as proof of eternity, meaning that from then on they would live forever, never to perish or be destroyed.

  Now as long as Li Yi thoroughly merges the power of slaughter and the power of life, at that time life contains death, death contains life, in a moment, life and death transform, naturally can understand "Jiemi Sword Dao".

  In these fifty thousand years, the friction between the two sides has become increasingly intense, especially at the eastern and western borders, where the number of monks who have entered the fray has reached one hundred million, with killings rampant.

  "Dong, dong......" The gathering bell sounds echoed throughout the vast wilderness.

  "Has it finally begun?" Li Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he muttered.

  This battle as the last one, the alliance gathered all its strength, with a number even surpassing the previous one, reaching over 7 billion.

  The ferocious beast domain and the demon domain's great army were also heading east, with their elite forces all out, forming a vast black ocean of troops that stretched endlessly.

  "Kill!!!!!!"

  Both sides met again at the border, and apart from the pervasive atmosphere of slaughter on the entire battlefield, there was also a tragic atmosphere. Everyone knew that once their side lost, they would almost have no chance of survival. Facing the pursuit of an overwhelmingly powerful force, not many people could escape with confidence.

  Therefore, whether it was the Allied Masters or the Fierce Beast Domain Masters or the Magic Domain Masters, their faces were all unprecedentedly solemn. This was a battle for survival, and whoever won would have the right to survive.

  Bang, bang, bang......

  Nine black coffins descended onto the battlefield just like last time. The Blood Prison Five Elders immediately led their men to set up a formation, then closed their eyes and meditated.

  This time, the Blood-colored Giant Tower did not descend, but the cultivators from both sides still looked at the people of the Blood Prison City with a hint of reverence, after all, there was a Supreme being stationed in the Blood Prison City.

  Very wise, both masters are acting as if Blood Prison Castle's people aren't around.

  "Kill!!!!!!"

  The Union's monks, led by Zu Long, Tian Feng and Lin Zu, surged forward to attack the Ferocious Beast Domain and Demon Domain armies, while the Ferocious Beast Domain and Demon Domain armies also roared towards the Union under the leadership of Xue Mo and other powerful experts.

  "Kill!!!!!!"

  Li Yi gazed coldly at the ferocious beast and the Mo Domain cultivator in front of him, as the Qing Lian ancient sword automatically flew out from his dantian.

  "Hah!" Li Yi swung his arm forward without mercy, and countless black lotus flowers emerged in the void. The killing intent on the battlefield formed a storm that continuously surged into those lotus flowers.

  And those lotus flowers, after absorbing the power of slaughter, quickly split into more black lotus flowers, splitting three times before stopping.

  At this time, with Li Yi as the center, a radius of ten miles formed a black lotus ocean, and countless clusters of tiny killing sword energy burst out from each lotus flower, or pierced into the bodies of fierce beasts and demonic cultivators, releasing sword energy to destroy them internally.

  A burst of mournful cries rose up, and when the lotus flower disappeared, nearly a million ferocious beasts and tens of thousands of demonic cultivators had all been annihilated.

  The monks of the alliance behind Li Yi were filled with awe and admiration, thinking that he was indeed the strongest under Daluo Golden Immortal.

  "Kill!!!!!!"

  Everywhere is killing, the four great masters have not yet made a move, and the Daluo Golden Immortals of both camps are fighting each other voluntarily. Originally, the alliance lost many Daluo Golden Immortals last time, after years of accumulation, and almost all the three tribes' Daluo came out, and both sides were almost even again.

  The battle was hard to distinguish and difficult to resolve.

  "Slaughter Sword Path", "Rebirth Sword Path".

  A strange and noble double lotus appeared in front of Li Yi, with a black lotus flower and a green lotus flower emitting a black light and a green light respectively.

  Bang, bang......

  The ferocious beast-like monks in front suddenly fell, everything turned to ashes where the black light passed, and only white bones were left where the green light passed, piled up like mountains.

  The battle between the two sides grew more and more brutal, Li Yi floated between the black lotus and the green lotus, the two huge lotuses constantly rolling towards the fierce beast and the magic domain cultivator, wherever the lotus passed, half turned to ash, half became white bones.

  And Li Yi also occasionally pushed Qinglian, shining green light on those critically ill Union monks, those heavily injured Union monks, most of whom immediately came back to life, killing the fierce beasts and Mo Yu monks off guard, secretly crying out in pain.

  Soon many allied cultivators gathered behind Li Yi, forming an arrowhead that pierced straight into the Beast Domain and Demon Domain armies. As Qinglian continuously absorbed life force and then transferred it to the allied cultivators, for a time the cultivators behind Li Yi were fearless of death, killing off the Beast Domain and Demon Domain cultivators in droves.

  "Kill!!!!!!"

  The demon realm cultivator looked at the alliance cultivators in front of him, extremely depressed. With great difficulty, he had severely injured them, but a green light flew over and they became lively again. How were you supposed to fight like this?

  One side slaughtered, the other saved, Li Yi fought more and more fiercely, he felt that the fusion of killing power and vitality was slowly increasing, and it would soon be fully integrated, so Li Yi became even more frantic in his slaughter.

  "Kill!!!!!!"

  There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, both sides charge forward with bloodshot eyes, the battlefield of billions of miles is dyed crimson with blood, mountains collapse continuously, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, flames shoot into the sky, a complete doomsday scene.

  The fusion of the power of slaughter and the power of life is accelerating, Li Yi has also thoroughly vented his anger, specifically killing those fierce beasts and demonic cultivators in areas where they are densely populated, and Pei Shuanglian strangles one life after another in her rotation.

  Li Yi was still unsatisfied and waved his hand to release countless sword auras, forming waves of sword aura storms that completely annihilated the numerous ferocious beasts and demonic cultivators.

  The surrounding allied monks cast sideways glances, no one had expected that someone would still be fighting to kill on the battlefield. In their hearts, they secretly acknowledged that this person must normally be a killing god, otherwise he wouldn't be so frantic.

  But the fierce beasts on the battlefield were miserable, and many of them would turn around and ignore this god of slaughter as soon as they saw Li Yi from a distance.
