Chapter 1608: The Way to Nirvana

"Wha...what?"

Song Yu froze, completely dumbfounded.

Reduced to a puppet...

This was by no means what he wanted.

"What kind of being is the Lord of Heavenly Dao?"

Song Yu frowned slightly, staring intently at the Evil Emperor before him, his eyes revealing intense doubt.

"I only learned of his existence by chance. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that even the first Lord of Light didn't know about the existence of the Heavenly Dao Lord!"

"Moreover, there is also the Lord of the Earthly Dao, who is on par with the Lord of the Heavenly Dao!"

"They control all rules, foundations, and even all living beings! However, they also have limitations; they cannot easily descend upon this universe!"

"This is the fundamental reason why he chose you. He saw your talent, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. If you obediently follow him, you will inevitably become his puppet."

"But if you don't obey, he can easily kill you. Either way, you'll die. It's just a matter of which you choose!"

Upon hearing the Evil Emperor's words, Song Yu remained silent for a long time, refusing to speak further.

"Either way, it's a dead end, so there's no reason to just accept it." After a long while, Song Yu slowly raised his eyes to look at the Evil Emperor. His voice was calm and composed, without a trace of panic. Only a hint of almost insane determination was hidden deep in his eyes!

"He wants me to kill the Lord of Shadow Prison, so I will! He wants to use the Origin Mark to control me as a puppet, but I will defy the odds and break free. This mark is a shackle that can lead me to glimpse the edge of the Great Dao, and I might even be able to use it to comprehend the mysteries of the Dao realm. One day, I can turn the tables on him and defeat him!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Evil Emperor's eyes, which then turned into deep solemnity as he looked Song Yu up and down.

"You know that your success rate is less than 10%! Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Lord's methods are far more complex than they appear." The Evil Emperor sighed softly, his dark red demonic energy quietly spreading around him before quickly receding, as if he were wary of something!

"That primordial mark may seem like an aid, but it is actually already bound to your soul. Once you reach the threshold of the half-step Dao Realm, the mark will be fully activated. At that time, even if it is far outside the rules, it can control your soul in an instant. You will not even have the right to resist and will only become a puppet to be driven at will. Even your self-awareness will be slowly devoured."

The Evil Emperor said in a heavy tone: "Now you are trapped in a dead end. You either follow the Heavenly Dao Lord's orders and end up as a puppet, or you resist and could be killed by the Heavenly Dao Lord at any time. There is no third way to go."

The Demon Emperor pondered for a moment, “There may be a third way. Although the Heavenly Dao Lord controls the rules, he is limited by the fact that he cannot easily descend into this universe, which is his biggest weakness! Furthermore, the mark is bound to the soul, but it may not be impossible to break. However, this method is extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, one will perish both soul and body, which is a hundred times more difficult than breaking through to the half-step Dao Realm.”

Song Yu suddenly looked up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What method? Please explain, even if it means being shattered to pieces, I am willing to try."

Song Yu had no way out. Rather than waiting to die, he might as well take a gamble. Even if he failed in the end, it was better than becoming a puppet without a self.

Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor turned to look at the Demon Emperor, his eyes filled with doubt.

The Demon Emperor slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the mark between Song Yu's eyebrows, his expression growing increasingly solemn: "This method is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be devoured by the forbidden power and turned into cosmic dust."

"Song Yu murmured softly, "No matter how difficult it is, I must try. There are only 650,000 years left until the million-year deadline. I need to break through to the half-step Dao Realm and also decipher the Origin Mark. Time is extremely tight; there can be no delay."

Seeing Song Yu's resolute expression, the Evil Emperor suddenly spoke up: "If you trust the two of us, the Demon Emperor and I can lend you a hand."

Song Yu felt a warmth in his heart. He cupped his hands slightly and said in a deep voice, "Thank you both for your help. If I can break this deadlock in the future, I will repay you tenfold."

"No need for formalities, the matter at hand is of utmost importance." The Evil Emperor waved his hand, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding cosmic void, his tone urgent, "Although the Heavenly Dao Lord cannot descend easily, he can sense the movement of the Origin Mark. If we stay here too long, he might notice us. Let's find a secluded place to settle down first, and then discuss the next steps!"

The Demon Emperor immediately raised his hand, and the black demonic flames around him suddenly surged, transforming into a huge spatial vortex. Countless nebulae could be faintly seen flowing in the depths of the vortex, which was the temporary spatial passage he had opened with his own cultivation!

"Come with me!"

Without further hesitation, Song Yu stepped into the spatial vortex first, followed closely by the Evil Emperor, and the Demon Emperor stepped in last. With a wave of his hand, the vortex instantly closed, as if the three of them had never appeared.

Passing through the spatial vortex, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed; it was no longer the vast and boundless void of the universe!

Instead, it appeared in a secret realm!

"This place is an unnamed void; even the Lord of Heaven might not be able to detect its existence." The Demon Emperor surveyed his surroundings and said slowly, "You may come with me!"

Song Yu looked around the secret realm and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I wonder where I should begin?"

"The phoenix rises from the ashes, reborn from the flames!"

The Demon Emperor slowly said, "This may be the only hope!"

"To you and me now, the phoenix is ​​nothing more than an ant, but their method of rebirth may not be useless to you. However, before that, you must give up everything, including your life!"

The Demon Emperor spoke very seriously, staring intently at Song Yu. He wasn't sure if this method would work, but it was the only chance!

If this doesn't work, Song Yu will definitely die!

However, if they choose to do so, they will offend the Lord of Heaven, and there is a high chance that the Lord will find them and eliminate them. Either way, it is almost certain that they will die!

Success will lead to death, failure will also lead to death!

But if...

If he does nothing, he will only become a puppet, with no hope left. Rather than become a puppet, Song Yu would rather perish!

"Ten deaths without a chance of survival...?"

Song Yu's lips curled slightly, and a hint of bold excitement flashed in his eyes!

Even if I face certain death, what do I have to fear?

Song Yu's eyes gradually became serious and solemn. He nodded heavily and said, "Gentlemen, instead of doing nothing, why not give it your all? At least... you'll live life to the fullest!"

Seeing Song Yu agree, the Evil Emperor tensed up, "You're really crazy!"

"Demon Emperor, you clearly knew this method..."

"This is the only way I can do it. I remember hiding the corpse of the Phoenix Ancestor here!"

"The method of Nirvana is within that corpse. For you, comprehending the method of Nirvana is effortless. You can try it now!"

The Demon Emperor shrugged. This was the only way he could do it. If there were any other options, why would he have taken such a risk?

As the Demon Emperor finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed at the deep void. Subtle ripples appeared in the surrounding space, and an ancient stone coffin slowly emerged from the clouds. The coffin was covered with burn marks and faint feather patterns could be seen. Even after countless years, it still exuded a fiery and powerful vitality, forming an eerie contrast with the lifeless coffin.

The stone coffin trembled slightly as it hit the ground, and wisps of golden-red smoke escaped from the gaps in the lid. Touching it, one could feel the extreme heat and the pure life force intertwined, which was the aura emanating from the remains of the Phoenix Ancestor.

"This coffin has contained the remains of the Phoenix Ancestor for over 100 million years. The true meaning of its Nirvana is hidden within the origin of the bones and has not dissipated with the divine soul."

The Demon Emperor concentrated his power at his fingertips and lifted the coffin lid from a distance. Golden and red light burst forth instantly, revealing a half-rotten golden bird skeleton inside. Fragments of its wings were still surrounded by a faint glow of flames. Even as just remains, it still exuded an aura of dominance over all living beings.

"You must first use your own cultivation to ignite the Nirvana Fire within your bones, then actively disperse all your cultivation and even the origin of your soul, allowing the Nirvana Fire to envelop your body and soul, completely burning away your old self, even the original mark between your eyebrows."

The Evil Emperor added from the side, his tone full of solemnity: "When you are burned, you will suffer the extreme pain of your soul being burned to ashes. If your will weakens even slightly, you will be completely reduced to ashes! After your old self is completely burned, you need to use the last wisp of your remnant soul to draw on the life force in the fire of Nirvana to reassemble your body. When you are reborn, your soul will be reshaped, and the original mark will lose its attachment and naturally disappear completely."

"However, if the flames of rebirth cannot sustain the remnant soul's rebirth during this process, or if your life force is exhausted, you will perish completely. Furthermore, the entire process cannot be interfered with by any external force; it depends entirely on your own will."

Song Yu walked slowly to the stone coffin, gazing at the remains of the Phoenix Ancestor inside. Golden-red smoke brushed against his cheeks, and the burning sensation seeped into his body through his pores, but it did not make him flinch in the slightest.

"If the old doesn't die, and the new doesn't live, I can still bear this pain."

After saying this, Song Yu turned around and bowed deeply to the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor: "You two, I will remember your help today. Regardless of the success or failure of this rebirth, I thank you both for finding a way out for me."

The Evil Emperor's expression was complicated, but he finally sighed and said, "Fine, since you have made your decision, the two of us will protect you here. Even if the Heavenly Dao Lord notices something, we can buy you some time."

"If you succeed in Nirvana, remember to immediately conceal your aura. The newly born soul is extremely fragile and easily detected by the Heavenly Dao Lord." The Demon Emperor nodded in agreement, and the two immediately spread out, standing on the east and west sides respectively. Their power surged, weaving together to form a thick barrier that completely enveloped the area!

Without further hesitation, Song Yu sat cross-legged in front of the stone coffin, slowly closed his eyes, and focused his mind into his body!

He first circulated his peak eternal cultivation, and a faint golden spiritual light instantly appeared in his palm as he quietly waited for the best opportunity.

Then, he extended his divine sense and carefully touched the remains of the Phoenix Ancestor. The remains trembled instantly, and the flames on the fragments of feathers suddenly intensified. A wisp of golden-red flame surged into his body through his divine sense!

"Tolerate!"

Song Yu gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, beginning to fully guide that wisp of Nirvana Flame, circulating it throughout his entire body!

Wherever it passed, its entire skin was scorched black, yet a faint trace of life could be seen in the intense heat of the flames.
