The Strongest 9th Tier

No wonder Huang Xi's appearance and laws remained unchanged; she had actually used the special authority of the Samsara Palace to forcibly descend into this realm of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in her true form.

Furthermore, this universe, which he regarded as a place for reincarnation and cultivation, was actually a high-risk area marked as a "large-scale battlefield" by the Samsara Palace.

As a veteran reincarnator in the Samsara Palace, Lin Hanzhou understood better than anyone the bloodshed and cruelty behind the words "large-scale battlefield world".

Within the Samsara Palace system, the reincarnation world is strictly divided into multiple levels and types.

In ordinary reincarnation worlds, such as the "Great Sui Dynasty" or the "Strange World" that Lin Hanzhou once experienced, the reincarnated person is usually given a local identity and undergoes training through soul possession or reincarnation.

In this world, even if a reincarnated person unfortunately perishes during a mission, there will be almost no consequences.

However, the world of large-scale battlefields is quite different.

This is a meat grinder specially prepared by the Samsara Palace for those crazy reincarnators who yearn to break through the limits on the edge of life and death and seek the supreme path.

These kinds of worlds usually have terrifying local powerful groups and extremely exclusive world rules.

To enter a large-scale battlefield world, reincarnated individuals cannot use opportunistic soul reincarnation methods. They must use their original true form, carrying all their cultivation, magical treasures, and karma, to force their way in!

This means that the protection that the Samsara Palace can provide in large-scale battlefield worlds has dropped to its lowest point.

Here, there is no pretense of local identity, and no guaranteed return of souls after failure.

Once a reincarnated person is killed by a local powerhouse in this world, or dies in various perilous situations, then they will truly perish, their body and soul annihilated, their life force extinguished!

Once you're dead, you're truly dead, unless you have a special way to resurrect yourself.

Lin Hanzhou's style of doing things has always been steady and deliberate, and he acts only after careful consideration.

His goal is to steadily accumulate experience and gradually climb to the top in different reincarnation worlds.

This kind of gambler-style battlefield world, where "winning means access to luxury models, losing means working in the sex industry," is completely inconsistent with his long-term development logic and prudent approach.

Throughout his life in the Samsara Palace, he always deliberately avoided these battlefields marked in blood red.

Before today, the only time he had participated in a large-scale battlefield world was because of a survival mission forcibly issued by the Samsara Palace.

Since that mandatory mission, he has never taken the initiative to pay attention to any information about large-scale battlefield worlds.

Lin Hanzhou never imagined that one day he would be reborn into a large battlefield world marked on the Hall of Reincarnation.

Since Huang Xi actively chose to descend to this place in her true form and successfully proved herself to become an emperor, she must possess the most detailed intelligence information about this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths provided by the Samsara Palace.

Thinking of this, Lin Hanzhou raised his head, looked intently at Huang Xi, and continued to ask.

"Since you came prepared, how much do you actually know about the situation in this world, specifically the intelligence provided by the Samsara Palace?"

He knew that although the Samsara Palace was ruthless, it would usually provide sufficiently detailed basic information to reincarnated individuals before they entered large-scale battlefield worlds, so that these reincarnated individuals who entered in their true forms would not go to their deaths in complete ignorance.

Huang Xi had no intention of keeping secrets.

"The rules of this world, encompassing the nine heavens and ten earths, are exceptionally unique, even cruel to the point of being inhuman."

Huang Xi's voice was like jade striking ice, clear and crisp with a hint of coldness, as she began to tell Lin Hanzhou the information provided by the Samsara Palace.

"First of all, the Heavenly Dao rules of this world, or rather, the incomplete Immortal Realm laws, have an absolute and exclusive suppressive force—called the Heavenly Heart Mark."

"In the same era, in this vast universe, only one person can imprint their own Dao on the Heavenly Heart Mark, thereby attaining the ultimate Dao position and becoming the Great Emperor who reigns over the world."

"Once someone attains enlightenment, their Great Dao Laws will suppress all the myriad paths of the universe, preventing anyone who comes after them from ever taking that final step."

"In a single era, only one emperor can suppress the world. This is an ironclad rule, the coldest and most ruthless cosmic order in this world."

"The Samsara Palace also has a clear definition regarding the combat strength rating of the Great Emperors."

"In the Samsara Palace's power classification system, which encompasses all the heavens and myriad realms, the Great Emperor realm is uniformly categorized into nine ranks."

"At the ninth rank, in the many planes and cultivation systems of the outside world, one is already a top-level powerhouse who can destroy a star field with one hand and traverse the multiverse."

"However, the evaluation report from the Samsara Palace clearly states that the Great Emperors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths possess combat power far exceeding that of other ninth-tier beings in the outside world!"

"Because the cultivators of this world rose step by step from a broken and oppressive world, defying the heavens and fighting their way up to become immortals."

"Every emperor who can bear the mark of the Heavenly Heart is a monster who climbed to the top by stepping on the corpses of countless peerless geniuses amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"They have reached an incredible peak in their research on Taoist magic and supernatural powers, the tempering of their physical bodies and blood, and the tenacity of their fighting will."

"Therefore, the Great Emperors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are referred to by the high-level reincarnations of the Reincarnation Palace as 'the ninth rank of the strongest cultivation system'!"

"Among those of the same level, the Great Emperors of this world are practically invincible, easily crushing those ninth-level beings from the outside world who have cultivated smoothly."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Hanzhou's lips.

Is it the strongest ninth-tier? That assessment is quite fair.

When he killed the ancient bull emperor earlier, and just now when he cleaved the supreme being who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment with a single sword strike, the earth-shattering collision of those forces had indeed reached a certain extreme.

However, Huang Xi's tone suddenly changed at this moment, carrying a depressing sadness and heaviness.

"However, this very emperor, powerful enough to suppress all ages, suffers the most tragic fate among all ninth-order beings in the myriad realms of the heavens."

Huang Xi's eyes reflected the ripples in the teacup, her voice soft and gentle.

"Because this is a broken immortal realm, the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, and most fatally... the complete severance of the substances for longevity."

"In the outside world, even an ordinary seventh-level cultivator can live for tens of thousands of years without getting entangled in karmic tribulations."

"And ninth-order beings in the outside world can easily live for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, as long as they are not killed."

"But in this vast land, even the most powerful emperor who reigns supreme has a lifespan of only a mere 20,000 years!"

"For ordinary people, 20,000 years is a long history of change, like the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields."

"But for those supreme experts who have already trampled the Great Dao under their feet and can easily deduce the birth and death of stars, twenty thousand years is nothing more than a blink of an eye."

"It's like giving an emperor with endless wealth a death notice that he only has one day to live. The contrast and despair are enough to drive even the strongest person with a rock-solid mind insane."
