161: Chapter 161 A stunningly beautiful and alluring woman! You bastard!

"Oh, you are actually quite clever." Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation spoke with a coquettish laugh, her voice as soft as cotton candy. However, the words she spoke carried enough weight to make any Cultivator experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. "That old geezer, Daoist Canglong, spent nearly ten epochs plotting to get his hands on that life-bound Dragon Origin, only for you, you little brat, to swallow it into your belly and refine it completely. If he were to find out about this, I fear that with just a single thought from him, you would be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering on the spot, without even a chance to enter Reincarnation."

These words were no exaggeration.

Daoist Canglong was a dignified Great Emperor of the Human Race who had guarded the front lines of the Universe for hundreds of millions of years. The blood on his hands could drown countless galaxies. Killing a Cultivator who had not yet become an Emperor was truly just a matter of a single thought; there wouldn't even be a chance to resist.

For any other Cultivator, hearing this would likely have caused them to turn pale with fright and tremble all over. But Zhou Liangan remained composed. He stared steadily at the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation in his arms, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "This Daoist Canglong you speak of, could it be one of the Nine Emperors of the Human Race who sits at the front lines guarding the entire Universe, that Great Emperor Canglong who is famous throughout the Universe for his Dragon Dao?"

Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation watched his calm demeanor, a trace of imperceptible appreciation flashing in the depths of her eyes. Her vermilion lips curled slightly, revealing a charming arc, and she nodded gently. "Correct, it is that old geezer. Moreover, it is not just him who has set his sights on me. Among the Nine Emperors, that Fentian, famous for his ferocity, has also come."

Hiss— Even though Zhou Liangan had been mentally prepared, hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but curse silently. One Daoist Canglong was already a top-tier figure, and now there was an additional Great Emperor Fentian?

The Nine Emperors of the Human Race were the pillars of the Human Race in the entire Universe, the faith and guardian deities in the hearts of all living beings, the men standing at the very pinnacle of the entire Universe's pyramid. And now, two legendary guardian deities had actually simultaneously set their sights on the woman in his arms—one wanted to capture her to use as a Cauldron, and the other wanted to extract her Dao to refine an Immortal Artifact. He now understood completely; this was no stroke of romantic Luck, it was clearly boarding a pirate ship, and a pirate ship that could capsize at any moment.

He had slept with the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation, and as a result, directly provoked two Human Race Great Emperors. Looking at the history of the entire Universe, one couldn't find a second person who dared to do such a thing. Zhou Liangan complained endlessly in his heart, yet his face still didn't show a shred of timidity.

Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation watched his twitching mouth and laughed even more happily. She tightened her arms around Zhou Liangan's neck, pressing her entire body against him. Her breath was like orchids, and her warm breath hit Zhou Liangan's ear, carrying a hint of seductive playfulness. "That old geezer, Daoist Canglong, has been coveting my Innate Origin for a full ten epochs. He dreams of capturing me to be his Dual Cultivation Cauldron, but he didn't expect that something he had guarded for ten epochs would, in the end, be easily taken away by you, you little bastard."

She paused, a hint of dark, mischievous laughter flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said coquettishly, "Tell me, if that old geezer finds out about this, will he be so angry that his Dao Heart shatters on the spot? When that time comes, the first person he will want to skin and cramp won't be me, but you, you little bastard~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Liangan felt a chill run down his back. Anyone who had a treasure they had coveted for ten epochs snatched away halfway would go mad. Especially someone like Daoist Canglong, a Great Emperor who could slaughter an entire galaxy over a single disagreement. If he really found out, he would likely be ground to dust and ash, and thrown into Reincarnation to be tortured for ten thousand lifetimes.

However, Zhou Liangan was no fool. He certainly knew what this woman's intentions were in saying these things at this time. It was nothing more than wanting to tie him and herself completely to the same boat—to share honor and disgrace, to sink or swim together—leaving him with no retreat, forcing him to do his utmost to help her transfer the Karma on her, help her restore her strength, and even help her deal with the two Great Emperors who were pursuing her. After all, in the entire Universe right now, only he could help her.

Zhou Liangan glanced at the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation in his arms, who was smiling like a little fox, reached out to wrap his arms around her slender waist, applied a little force, and held her even tighter. His tone carried a hint of knowing amusement. "Alright, stop trying to feed me sweet talk. Isn't it just that you want me to help you transfer the Karma on you? I can help with this favor."

He paused, changed the subject, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "However, I can't help for free. After all, I am risking my life to help you. We are facing two Human Race Great Emperors; one slip-up, and we are both done for."

Hearing this, Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation raised her eyebrows, looking at Zhou Liangan with some surprise. She truly hadn't expected that this boy, knowing that he was facing two Human Race Great Emperors, not only didn't show a shred of fear, but actually had the mind to negotiate terms with her. One must know that even those Quasi-Emperor powerhouses who had lived for countless years would be scared out of their wits just hearing the names Daoist Canglong and Fentian, let alone opposing them.

"You really are not afraid of death." Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation looked at Zhou Liangan, her tone carrying a hint of appreciation and a trace of speechlessness. "Are you really not afraid that those two old geezers will actually find us and finish you both off?"

"What use is fear?" Zhou Liangan smiled and reached out to gently flick her pert nose, his tone carrying an Innate confidence. "The Luck on me was decreed by the Heavenly Dao of this epoch. Let alone him, Daoist Canglong, who is just a Human Race Great Emperor, even if the Heavenly Dao itself came, it could not simply kill me. If he truly dared to touch me, he would have to endure the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, the collapse of his Luck, and all his hundreds of millions of years of cultivation would be scattered in an instant. Therefore, he cannot kill me."

Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation looked at his confident expression and was completely speechless. She had lived for so many epochs, seen countless Prodigies, and countless unyielding powerhouses, but she had never seen a boy as bold and reckless as Zhou Liangan, who didn't even put the Nine Emperors of the Human Race in his eyes. However, she had to admit that the boy was telling the truth. The Luck on him was indeed dense to the extreme, so much so that even she, an Ancient Emperor who wielded the Samsara Dao, could not see through his future. Such a person was indeed not someone Daoist Canglong could kill just because he wanted to.

Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation shook her head helplessly, her body leaning forward slightly, her soft lips pressed against Zhou Liangan's ear. She spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, coquettishly, her tone full of temptation. "Little bastard, as long as you can help me completely transfer the Karma on me this time, allowing me to escape successfully and restore my cultivation to its peak state."

She paused, her tongue gently licking Zhou Liangan's earlobe, her voice so soft it could melt into water. "Then, at that time, I will let you go behind... how about it?~"

Hearing this, Zhou Liangan suddenly raised his head, staring straight at the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation standing in front of him. The composure and calmness on his face shattered completely in an instant, leaving only full-blown astonishment and shock; he even subconsciously held his breath for half a beat. He was stunned for a long time before he found his voice, his tone hoarse with disbelief. "You are not joking with me?"

The Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation standing opposite him immediately arched her eyebrows upon hearing this. She was naturally stunningly beautiful, her face so beautiful it was almost not of this mortal world, her skin as white as high-quality mutton-fat jade. Against the backdrop of the surrounding purple-gold Dao mist, it glowed with a hazy, soft light. At this moment, she lightly licked her luscious red lips, the movement both innocent and lustful. Her captivating beautiful eyes shimmered, as if they contained the entire galaxy, and every glance carried a soul-stirring charm.

She leaned forward half a step, her coquettish voice dragging with a soft, sweet tail, carrying a hint of playful laughter. She looked straight at Zhou Liangan and said lightly, "Of course I am not lying to you~ How about it, such a huge benefit?~ Are you not tempted?~"

The moment the tail of her voice fell, the black and red imperial robe on her body swayed gently, the neckline slipping down a bit, revealing her exquisite collarbone. The surrounding Samsara Dao laws seemed to have gained sentience, gently circling her figure, making her appear even more like a Goddess wielding Reincarnation, both sacred and bewitching.

Zhou Liangan looked at her appearance, and the string in his heart plucked suddenly. He had to admit that he was truly, completely tempted. This was simply Heaven helping him.

Zhou Liangan's mental calculations were clicking away, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. He looked at the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation and nodded heavily, his tone carrying a bit of impatient decisiveness. "Since that's the case, find a way to teleport me to the side of Ye Bufan and Liu Meihan! As long as I capture Liu Meihan, and then severely injure Ye Bufan, in his desperation, that guy will definitely find a way to refine the samsara dao coffin."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a strange, indescribable look instantly rise in the beautiful eyes of the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation opposite him. She raised her eyebrows, dragging out a long tail, her tone carrying a hint of inexplicable sourness, and spoke slowly. "Capture Liu Meihan?~ That little girl is indeed extremely beautiful~ White skin, a pretty face, and her figure is nothing to complain about; no wonder you are so attentive."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Liangan's heart skipped a beat, he widened his eyes abruptly, and instantly realized. Good heavens, this woman's words had a hidden meaning! This wasn't praising Liu Meihan at all; this was clearly testing him—the vinegar jar was about to be overturned!

He hadn't been dealing with the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation for just a day or two; he knew this woman's temperament too well. She looked charming and carefree, but in reality, she was very petty, and her possessiveness was outrageously strong. If he showed even a shred of interest in another woman, there was no telling how this woman would sabotage him behind his back.

Sure enough, the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation watched his nervous appearance and laughed even more joyfully. She leaned forward again, almost pressing against Zhou Liangan's body, her warm breath sweeping across his neck, carrying a faint, cool fragrance. She lightly licked her luscious red lips again, her beautiful eyes staring straight into his, carrying a hint of playful laughter, and spoke slowly. "What?~ Does someone really have some ideas about that little girl?"

The tone carried a thick sense of interrogation, as if the moment he dared to say the word "Yes," she would make him taste the backlash of the Reincarnation in the next second.

Zhou Liangan felt extremely helpless inside, but he dared not show the slightest bit of it on his face.

He took the Opportunity to reach out and wrap his arm around the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation's slender yet voluptuous willow waist. His palm pressed against her soft waist, allowing him to clearly feel the warm temperature beneath her skin, as well as her body, which tensed for an instant before slowly relaxing.

He lowered his head to look at the coquettish beauty in his arms, chuckled softly, and spoke in a cajoling tone: "What are you thinking? What kind of ideas could I possibly have about her? There's no other way! If I want to force that guy to refine that fake samsara dao coffin without him noticing anything amiss, I must do things that damage his Opportunity."

His words were half-truth and half-lie, mostly intended to coax her, but they were indeed the truth.

After all, time was tight now; he had no interest in engaging in romantic entanglements with Liu Meihan, and his mind was entirely occupied with how to drag Ye Bufan into this mess.

But the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation clearly wasn't buying it. She struggled against Zhou Liangan's embrace, but failing to break free, she huffed coldly and turned her face away, her tone thick with jealousy: "Hmph! It looks like I guessed right! Otherwise, with so many methods available, why did you specifically choose to grab her? I think you're just using this as an excuse to get close to that beauty, aren't you?"

Watching her act so tsundere and jealous, Zhou Liangan found himself both annoyed and amused.

He knew that arguing with this woman any further would only make things worse, so he simply changed the subject. He reached out to pinch her chin, turned her face to look at him, and spoke in a serious tone: "Alright, stop messing around. Fentian and Daoist Canglong are on their way! Time waits for no one!"

Upon hearing this, the coquettish expression on the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation's face instantly faded somewhat.

She was also aware that those two old things, Fentian and Daoist Canglong, were ancient monsters who had lived for countless epochs, and their cultivation was unfathomable. Once they arrived, her plans and schemes would fall apart.

But she still didn't relent. She gave Zhou Liangan a charming, coquettish roll of her eyes—a look that made one's heart tremble—and then huffed coldly with a tsundere attitude, her tone filled with reluctance: "Hmph! Suit yourself! Anyway, within the Forbidden Ground and most of this starry sky, every move of a certain person is under my control. If you dare to use this Opportunity to get up to something with that Liu Meihan, just wait and see how I deal with you when you return."

The moment her words fell, she raised her slender, fair hand and lightly tapped Zhou Liangan's glabella with her fingertip.

In an instant, Zhou Liangan felt the surrounding environment change abruptly.

The surrounding purple-gold dao mist shattered instantly, and a deafening sound of space being torn apart rang in his ears. A massive Power of Reincarnation enveloped his entire body, and the light and shadows before his eyes twisted crazily, like a crumpled canvas.

He felt his vision blur, and the dizzying sensation lasted for less than one ten-thousandth of a second. By the time he steadied himself again, the scene around him had completely changed.

All around was a dead and desolate land. Beneath his feet were pockmarked craters, and everything around was grey-brown rock, without even the slightest trace of life.

Looking up, there was an endless, pitch-black starry sky, with countless stars emitting faint light in the distance. A cold cosmic wind brushed against his cheeks, carrying a bone-chilling cold.

He had been directly teleported by the Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation to an uninhabited ancient star located deep within the starry sky.

Zhou Liangan took a deep breath and sensed the spatial fluctuations in the vicinity, instantly capturing two familiar auras not far away—it was precisely Ye Bufan and Liu Meihan!

Moreover, neither of these two auras had any guard up, clearly completely unaware of his arrival.

He sneered in his heart, and without the slightest hesitation, he instantly circulated the cultivation within his body, completely concealing his aura. Not a single trace leaked out, and his entire person seemed to merge into this cold Void Realm.

Immediately after, he exerted force with his feet, and the Tianxuan Nine Dragon Steps were instantly pushed to the extreme.

In an instant, nine vivid phantom dragons appeared beneath his feet, and the roar of dragons exploded silently in his heart. With every step he took, the surrounding space rippled in layers, as if a stone had been thrown into a pool of water.

His speed was extreme, akin to teleportation. With a single step, he covered a distance of tens of thousands of li. In just a few breaths' time, he had completely vanished from this desolate ancient star, speeding toward the direction from which the auras were coming.

Deep in the vast starry sky, within a hidden space enveloped by the laws of Reincarnation.

Liu Meihan was floating in the Void Realm, her entire being not yet having fully recovered from the immense surprise just now.

Before her eyes floated a massive coffin made entirely of dark gold; it was the very samsara dao coffin that countless powerhouses would break their heads trying to fight over.

The body of the coffin was carved with intricate and complex patterns of Reincarnation, and each pattern flowed with a faint purple-gold halo. An ancient and majestic aura continuously emanated from the coffin, suppressing the surrounding space until it slightly twisted, and even the flow of time slowed down around this coffin. Just standing in front of it, one could clearly feel that power from the Origin of Reincarnation, as if by merely touching it, one could see through life and death and reverse Reincarnation.

Liu Meihan looked at the samsara dao coffin before her, her pair of cold, beautiful eyes filled with undisguisable excitement and anticipation.

She slowly extended her snow-white, slender hand, her fingertips trembling imperceptibly, and gently caressed the cold body of the samsara dao coffin, tracing those ancient and mysterious patterns on it.

The icy sensation came from her fingertips, but in her heart, it was as if a fire had been ignited.

At the corners of her lips, she involuntarily curled them into an extremely charming arc. That smile carried relief, anticipation, and a trace of hidden fragility.

She murmured softly, her voice so gentle it was almost melting: "If I can obtain such a supreme treasure! I will definitely be able to save my sister, Ruyan."

As long as she could refine this samsara dao coffin, she could master the Power of Reincarnation. If she could master the Power of Reincarnation, killing that detestable bastard would be a piece of cake.

Ye Bufan, standing by her side, possessed an otherworldly aura.

He stared fixedly at Liu Meihan, who was rarely showing such a soft side, a flash of gentle amusement appearing in his eyes before he reined it back in. He spoke softly: "Since that's the case, do not hesitate. Hurry up and refine it. Although I have used a Formation to conceal this area, the aura of the samsara dao coffin is too massive. There is no guarantee it won't be detected by someone. Long delays bring trouble; refine it early for peace of mind."

His words were not without reason.

The commotion caused by the appearance of the samsara dao coffin had attracted who knew how many top powerhouses who were currently rushing over.

Although he was confident he could protect Liu Meihan, every extra moment of delay meant an extra bit of risk.

Liu Meihan nodded gently upon hearing this, withdrew her hand from the coffin, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. She was just about to circulate her cultivation to begin communicating with the Origin of the samsara dao coffin.

But just at this moment, Ye Bufan's expression changed abruptly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his entire cultivation exploded without reservation, a terrifying aura sweeping across the entire area.

Without even thinking, he thrust his hand toward Liu Meihan, pushing her aside while letting out an urgent roar: "Watch out!"

Liu Meihan had been fully focused on preparing to refine the dao coffin and was startled back to her senses by this sudden change.

She was also a battle-hardened top powerhouse, and her reaction speed was extreme. Almost the instant Ye Bufan spoke, she immediately circulated her Cultivation Technique, her figure shifting abruptly into a cold stream of light, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

Almost at the same time, the piece of the Void Realm where she had just been standing exploded instantly!

A power of extreme terror swept out like a tsunami, smashing the pitch-black space until it collapsed, revealing the chaotic spatial turbulence within.

Countless spatial fragments scattered in all directions, carrying enough power to tear apart the Physical Body of an Emperor.

Following that, a tall, upright figure slowly emerged from the collapsing Void Realm.

Who else could it be but Zhou Liangan?

He still maintained the posture of having thrown a punch, his fist lingering with a faint power of the Nine Dragons. Looking at Liu Meihan, who had barely dodged the strike not far away, a smirk appeared on his face.

Liu Meihan steadied her figure, and the moment she saw that the person who had arrived was Zhou Liangan, her beautiful eyes widened instantly. The gentleness and anticipation in the depths of her eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by monstrous hatred and killing intent.

She glared fixedly at Zhou Liangan, clenching her silver teeth so tightly it seemed she might shatter them. Her aura exploded instantly, the icy killing intent nearly freezing this starry sky.

That look in her eyes suggested she wished she could swallow Zhou Liangan alive right then and there.

She spoke word by word, her voice carrying a bone-chilling cold: "You actually dare to show yourself!"

This bastard had abducted her sister.

She had been keeping track of this debt until now; she hadn't expected that before she could go find Zhou Liangan to settle the score, this guy would actually deliver himself to her doorstep!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liangan didn't care in the slightest about the killing intent nearly overflowing from her body.

He smirked as he swept his gaze across Liu Meihan's cold, stunningly beautiful face, his eyes traveling from top to bottom with a hint of unmasked evil. He spoke slowly, his tone filled with the arrogance of one who holds victory in his grasp: "Last time I let you escape! This time is just right! Beauty, you are mine; you cannot escape!"

The moment his words fell, the nine phantom dragons behind him slowly appeared, and a terrifying pressure, like Mount Tai crushing down, descended with a boom toward the direction of Liu Meihan and Ye Bufan.

The entire starry sky began to tremble slightly under this pressure...
