Chapter 126: Choice (One Update)

Ah!

Ah!

Aaaah!

In the divine realm, the demon realm, the magic realm, the spirit realm, the ghost realm…

The wails echoed throughout the heavens.

At this moment, every being infested by the **Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor** felt their souls assaulted by **Reincarnation Obsession**.

Every **Obsession**, every bit of pain endured in life, transformed into the suffering of these **monsters and demons**.

It was as if they had personally experienced all that torment, all those injuries inflicted by fate, society, and grudges in this chaotic mortal world.

Pain.

It enveloped all **monsters and other races**.

The entire world was filled with screams, but that was only the beginning of the **Obsession**.

**Reincarnation Obsession**, oh!

Too many, far too many.

Why does **Lu Ye** always cry? It’s because the pain is unbearable; even his **Celestial Lord Path** cannot suppress that feeling of agony. If he forces it down, his will and soul will sink.

He can only express his inner turmoil through tears, easing some of his pressure.

Crying is an external expression of torment.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you self-detonate?”

The **Vermilion Bird** glared at **Shen Xitang** with eyes wide open.

**Shen Xitang** had a calm yet cold gaze.

“Yes, I self-detonated! All my loved ones are dead! With hatred like an ocean, I refuse to enter **Reincarnation**, turning into this **Obsession**, just to wait for this moment to arrive!”

“You shouldn’t care about how I ended up here; you should be worried about the **monsters** you protect! Just look at what they’re enduring!”

**Shen Xitang** transformed into a stream of light and rushed into the **Vermilion Bird’s** soul.

In that moment, the **Vermilion Bird’s** awareness became extremely clear.

Her connection with the **Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor** tightened, and **Obsessions** continued to surge through the **Demon Emperor’s** soul into her own.

But, just as **Shen Xitang** had said, she was a **Great Emperor**!

**Four Spirits of Heaven**, **Vermilion Bird**!

Such trivial **Obsession** was hardly enough to make her frown. Even if all souls’ **Obsessions** converged upon her, she could bear it.

Yet, through the **Demon Emperor’s** perspective, she witnessed the countless wails of **monsters**.

Countless!

Too many!

On the vast land, amidst endless mountains.

Everywhere there were living beings rolling on the ground, moaning.

Their souls were subjected to horrific assaults; the **Obsession** clung to their souls like the most vile attachment, inflicting the greatest emotional torment upon them.

Some weaker **monsters**, with just a single hit, completely collapsed.

They fell to the ground, unmoving, their souls rapidly dissipating.

How tragic…

The **Vermilion Bird** gasped heavily.

Killing is just a matter of striking the ground.

Why torment others like this?

**Reincarnation Obsession** was the poisonous scheme of that deranged woman!

The **Vermilion Bird** knew who it was; when she heard that name initially, she thought **Reincarnation Obsession** was nothing more than a fluctuation of **Lu Ye**’s emotions, like her **Massacre Lotus Heart**.

But now, it was clearly different.

**Massacre Lotus Heart** put **Lu Ye** under the grip of slaughter, whereas the current **Reincarnation Obsession** plunged **Lu Ye** deep into boundless suffering.

Scenes flashed before the **Vermilion Bird**’s eyes continuously.

The imagery was too grim, too brutal.

Day by day, **monsters** died in extreme torment, their faces twisted, unable to close their eyes in death.

These images were an immense torture for the **Vermilion Bird**.

If she dies, can all the **monsters** live?

Among these **monsters**, there exist benevolent beings!

The **Reincarnation Obsession** grew more and more vast.

**Shen Xitang**’s words echoed in her mind.

She was a **Great Emperor**, her **Dao** heart strong; she could endure this **Reincarnation Obsession**.

As long as she gathered all the **Reincarnation Obsession** upon herself, those lives could continue!

If she remained indifferent, all those lives would perish.

The **Vermilion Bird** suddenly let out a clear cry.

Birdsong echoed through the heavens.

If it comes to this, then let me die!

It’s just a death; if she dies, countless others could live.

She dies with purpose!

“Boom!”

With a bang!

The link between the **Vermilion Bird** and the **Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor** peaked; all **Obsessions** directed towards other beings were severed, all rushing towards the **Vermilion Bird**.

In an instant, the **Vermilion Bird** let out a mournful cry.

Her body crashed heavily to the ground, curling up, all her feathers trembling.

Mournful cries…

The **Vermilion Bird** witnessed.

If **Lu Ye** transferred the **Reincarnation Obsessions** to the myriad of races in those small worlds, it was a cruel display.

Then this moment, countless like the stars, transcending ages, an immeasurable sea of **Obsession** was a grand performance, showcasing the most tragic sights of this world.

She followed every **Obsession**, experiencing their pain, as if she had been reborn for billions of lifetimes.

More and more, and more.

The **Vermilion Bird** coughed up blood; each mouthful was her essence, her lifeblood.

A **Great Emperor’s** **Dao** heart, bearing such pain, had become like this.

**Shen Xitang** watched closely, enjoying the **Vermilion Bird**’s suffering at this moment.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, where are we now?

The **Reincarnation Obsession** on **Lu Ye**’s soul hadn’t even released one-tenth yet.

And you’re already suffering this much?

For those countless alien beings, you must hold on!

“Aaaaah…”

The **Vermilion Bird** let out a piercing scream.

She was crying blood.

At this moment, **Lu Ye** wore a look of relief.

So comfortable…

The **Reincarnation Obsession** was like a swamp, ever since it erupted, it has constantly surrounded him; he felt eternally exhausted, eternally sad and tortured.

But now, that mud, those shackles, were being shaken off, breaking apart.

So comfortable!

As for feeling all the **Reincarnation Obsessions** entering a single body?

**Lu Ye** had already guessed it was likely the **Vermilion Bird**.

What’s the big deal about the **Vermilion Bird**?

If her divine fate wasn’t truly capable of rebirth through fire, he would have killed her long ago.

Since the **Vermilion Bird** has been so hung up on his actions against the **monsters**, and betraying him, helping them bear the **Obsession** and allowing them to survive seems right up her alley.

But can the **Vermilion Bird** truly endure until death?

**Lu Ye** was eagerly anticipating.

One-tenth of the **Obsession** vanished.

Two-tenths of the **Obsession** vanished.

The soul of the **Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor** was completely shackled, unable to move an inch.

Three-tenths of the **Obsession** vanished.

“Ah!”

The **Vermilion Bird True Flame** burned the heavens and scorched the earth; three-tenths of the **Obsession** had already driven the **Vermilion Bird** to the brink.

Pain!

Too much pain!

What could the **Vermilion Bird** do?

She could only grit her teeth and bear it.

“I am the **Four Spirits of Heaven**!

I am the **Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor**!

I am **Lu Ye**’s wife!

No, no…

The **Vermilion Bird**’s thoughts became chaotic; at that moment, she repeatedly went through **Reincarnation**, experiencing all the sorrows of the world.

She could hold on!

She could!
