Chapter 767 Crushing the Ancestor's Will! Qin Ming and Naigu's Fortuitous Encounter
"Nagu! Nagu!"
"You deserve to die!"
"Hahahaha! You dared to devour my bloodline? Then repay me with your body!"
Under the crushing weight of the soul millstone, coupled with Naigu's voluntary release of suppression, the thirty-six ancestral wills hidden deep within the bloodline went completely mad.
Twisted phantoms emerged from Naigu's body, roaring ferociously or shrieking and cursing, densely entangling Naigu's main consciousness.
Because the power of the mind was too great, these individual wills directly materialized!
Naigu's body began to mutate, and his already mutated body became even more twisted and terrifying.
"snort!"
Qin Ming gave a low shout, and the black and white millstone slowly began to rotate.
An unstoppable force erupted from the Soul Millstone, and the primordial wills that had just been clamoring melted away like snow meeting the scorching sun before they could even finish their screams.
It was crushed into the purest particles of the soul's origin.
However, the ancestral will was not so easily annihilated; it was restored and reborn in Naigu's soul in the next moment.
However, it is clear that the will of these ancestors has become somewhat weaker.
But similarly, Naigu was also screaming in agony!
An incredibly agonizing scream!
The cry didn't come from the throat; it emanated directly from the soul, causing ripples to spread throughout the surrounding netherworld.
His enormous serpentine body convulsed violently, all twenty-one heads arched, and fine gray fragments flew out from his completely shattered, flesh-and-blood body and soul.
These ancestral wills were not independent entities.
They took root like poison ivy deep within Naigu's soul and bloodline, inextricably intertwined with his own will.
Since Nagu began devouring their flesh and corpses, through endless years of suppression and assimilation, the two sides have long been intertwined.
You are in me.
As the Soul Millstone grinds down, it not only crushes the ancestor's will, but also tears and shatters Naigu's own soul and will, which are then slowly reassembled by the power of reincarnation.
This is not physical pain, but the excruciating agony of the soul being slowly and inch-by-inch tortured.
Each grinding is like churning his soul along with its impurities, then kneading it all back together.
"Your will is too deeply entangled to be separated on its own," Qin Ming's calm voice rang out at the opportune moment. "We can only refine it along with your very essence; pain is inevitable."
But with each passing cycle, your soul becomes a little purer, and the impurities in your bloodline diminish.
Naigu was in so much pain that his entire body and soul were convulsing.
Upon hearing Qin Ming's voice, he burst into wild laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"What's a little pain?"
"I can feel their will weakening! They're terrified! This pain—it's nothing!"
Naigu's ruthlessness was never limited to others!
After successfully becoming a lord, he became even more ruthless to himself!
Taking shortcuts comes at a price.
Now Qin Ming has the ability to erase this price, and in exchange, all he has to do is suffer a little pain!
Compared to the future consequences of being devoured by the ancestral will and ending up helpless, this pain of soul-tearing is nothing.
The six lords outside the millstone fell silent; this was the first time they had personally experienced the power of the Myriad Souls Banner.
I felt the power of the Soul Grinding Wheel!
"What terrifying power!"
As Minghuang felt the power naturally emanating from the rotating soul millstone, a great fear arose in her heart. She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she forcibly restrained herself.
As an immortal lord who has experienced countless eras of battles, she has long forgotten what fear feels like.
But as he gazed at the slowly turning black and white millstone, a chill involuntarily crept into the depths of his soul.
She sensed a deadly crisis!
An immortal being, yet it sensed the threat of death!
This is ridiculous.
But it happened to her, and it happened to all the lords.
"No wonder Qin Ming said he could deal with the primordial will hidden in Naigu's soul. This millstone—it's terrifying."
Minghuang's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible awe, "If I were to oppose him, I'm afraid I wouldn't last a hundred breaths before my soul is shattered."
No wonder Morgus was defeated so easily back then!
Within the grand formation of the Primordial Chaos Life Camp, Qin Ming used himself as bait to lure Mogus into the Underworld, and then crushed him with the power of the Underworld!
During the great battle, the seven lords had no time to pay attention.
But now I'm seeing it with my own eyes.
Naigu personally experienced that unparalleled crushing of the soul, and let out an extremely shrill scream.
"This is a complete refining and reconstruction of the soul. Even the soul is ground down into its most primordial particles; this kind of pain..."
This power is truly terrifying.
Jin also sighed.
"The power of the soul is the most special!"
Yuan Ye carefully examined the Soul Millstone, trying to comprehend the secret patterns on it, and cautiously sensed its power.
He also comprehended the soul path at the ultimate level of the God King!
Moreover, after the breakthrough, the growth rate is extremely fast.
Therefore, he was even more aware of the power of the Soul Path. The lord was indeed immortal, but he might really die in front of this Soul Grinding Wheel!
With the sheer power of the Soul Grinding Wheel, it could completely crush Naigu's will, even stripping away his memories and his self.
If that's the case, even if one remains immortal thanks to the unique nature of the Hunyuan Dao, once their memories and sense of self are distorted, would they still be themselves?
What's the difference between that and death?
However, he could also clearly sense that Qin Ming did not do that.
Instead, while crushing Naigu's soul, it continuously integrates pure soul essence, maintaining Naigu's clear will and making it even stronger!
"For Naigu, this is a great opportunity. Once he gets through it, he will be truly transformed."
At that time, not only will the thirty-six bloodlines be able to flow together as one, eliminating any worry of backlash, but their souls and mental will will also be strengthened.
His strength—will probably place him at the very forefront of all of us.
The black and white millstone continued to turn at a steady pace, its deep hum echoing in the core of the underworld.
Each turn was accompanied by Naigu's suppressed groan of pain.
"Crisis is often accompanied by opportunity. For Nagu, this is the greatest opportunity."
Starlight, however, smiled.
He was constantly observing endless time and space, observing the past and the future, and as Naigu entered the underworld, he wailed in the millstone of souls.
In the future timeline, the timeline where Naigu faced the greatest crisis due to the Heart-Severing Technique transforming into the Infinite Chaos Space is being eliminated!
The crisis has passed.
"Wait. Naigu's will is too deeply entangled with the wills of these progenitors; it cannot be completely eradicated in a short time. If you can't hold on any longer, tell me immediately."
Qin Ming looked at Naigu and spoke up as well.
This refining process was an opportunity for Naigu, and for Naigu himself, it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for enlightenment.
The Lord's Hunyuan Dao was originally completely integrated with the Hunyuan Dao.
The Tao is the body, and the body is the Tao.
The lord's body is composed of countless secret patterns, which are usually hidden deep within the flesh and blood, making them impossible for even lords of the same rank to see.
But now, the Soul Grinding Wheel has been grinding away at the body and soul, breaking them apart and then reassembling them, revealing the complete structure of the thirty-six bloodline runes and the Hunyuan Bloodline Dao within Naigu's body without reservation.
With the Hunyuan Bloodline Dao as its core framework, thirty-six ancestral bloodlines are wrapped around it like gnarled vines. Each connecting node corresponds to the collision and fusion of two or even several laws.
The mysteries of the Hunyuan Bloodline Dao were fully revealed to him.
Moreover, it is not a single Dao, but a fusion of many different ancestral Daos under the control of the Hunyuan Bloodline Dao.
If we disregard the contamination of the ancestral bloodline, the Hunyuan Bloodline Path is practically perfect in its structure!
"Indeed, this is a great opportunity!"
Qin Ming observed it carefully, and was also shocked. This was completely different from the chaotic and unnecessary secret patterns in the ancestral bloodline.
Naigu's Hunyuan Bloodline Dao can be called an art!
He walks the Great Dao of Reincarnation, which integrates the eight paths of earth, essentially aiming to allow eight different paths to coexist, ultimately governing the entire situation with the soul as the core.
However, he had always been stuck at the bottleneck of multiple rejections, with the eight forces pulling at each other and he was never able to achieve perfect harmony.
Now, looking at the structure of the Naigu Bloodline Path, and seeing how the thirty-six kinds of complex laws are connected, sorted out, and converged by a main lineage, many things that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear to me.
Helping Naigu eliminate the hidden dangers was also an opportunity for him.
This is a win-win situation.
And this is also what Qin Ming excels at.
"what?"
As the refining process unfolded, Qin Ming sensed the refining of Naigu and the crushing of the ancestral will as the soul millstone spun, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Naigu, there's good news you'd like to know. Of course, there's also bad news."
Tell me about it?
Naigu's voice was filled with pain; the feeling of being crushed in that moment was truly unbearable. The thirty-six ancestral wills sensed the danger and roared madly.
They desperately tried to merge with his soul and will, making his suffering even greater!
"When the Soul Grinding Wheel crushed your soul will, I made some new discoveries! These progenitors' wills also contained memories."
Qin Ming slowly said, "Originally, I only intended to let the Soul Grinding Wheel completely crush these ancestral wills, but now there are two ways."
"The first method is to crush everything, including the will and memories, to completely eliminate them. This method is more efficient and should be able to clean it up in a million years at most."
"A million years? What about the second one?"
"The second method is that since these ancestral wills are not just simple wills, but have memories, I can use the Great Dao of Reincarnation to empower the Soul Grinding Wheel and crush each ancestral will individually."
Then, it can be used as the core to form an illusion.
Your consciousness attaches itself to them, reliving their lives from a first-person perspective, personally experiencing their enlightenment, spiritual practice, and so on.
The entire process of mastering power.
Once the illusion ends, the will will naturally dissipate.
What?
Before Naigu could speak, the other lords were all alarmed.
To live another life through their eyes?
What an incredible opportunity!
Their strength was able to advance by leaps and bounds in just ten eras, wasn't it because they devoured the essence of the souls of Mogus and a progenitor?
Besides the strengthening of the soul, the most crucial thing is to be able to comprehend the memories and laws of the chosen ancestor.
Now, Naigu can directly comprehend the memories and laws of the thirty-six progenitors.
What kind of incredible opportunity is this?
"Of course, it is only the will of the progenitor, and it will not be as complete as the progenitor we hunted. Moreover, the process of comprehending it takes a very long time."
If one comprehends all thirty-six bloodlines...
Even with time acceleration, plus the time acceleration within the illusion, each path would probably still require tens of epochs, or even longer.
This means that the pain you endure will last longer!
And it will be somewhat affected by memory.
However, with your lord-level mental fortitude, as long as you hold fast to your principles, you'll be fine.
Upon hearing this, the six lords outside the millstone were stunned.
"This is not purification, this is clearly the delivery of thirty-six complete ancestral inheritances!"
Compared to this, what is mere suffering?!
Moman's eyes instantly turned red.
There are only two ancestors in the entire infinite primordial space who are suitable for him!
After going to great lengths to devour one, only one naturally formed chaotic origin faction remains!
"Naigu, what luck!"
Yuan's breathing quickened slightly. His path was similar to Naigu's; the more Dao he mastered, the stronger he became, while Naigu became stronger by mastering more bloodlines.
What could be more adept at one's own bloodline than those who have lost their progenitor?
For Nagu, this was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity!
"By using illusion to gain insight, you not only eliminated the hidden dangers but also increased your strength. Naigu, you've turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."
Jin was somewhat envious.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
From the center of the millstone came Naigu's hearty laughter, and all twenty-one heads rose up at the same time, "What else is there to choose? Of course, it's the second one! What are a few decades?"
What is this little bit of pain?
pain!
What is pain!
This is called training!
Originally, he only wanted Qin Ming to help him eliminate the will of many ancestors to reduce his mental pressure, but he didn't expect it to have such a benefit!
Several decades?
How vast must the memories of an ancestor be?
This amount of time is nothing; for the lords, it's just the time it takes to take a nap.
Although the soul will be continuously refined during this period, so what?
"Qin Ming, make your move! Let's start with the very first one—the first progenitor I devoured back then—the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Serpents!"
"roar!"
"Naigu! Naigu! You devoured my bloodline, and now you want to devour my will and memories?"
Within Yinaigu's soul and will, the purple snake shadow with the triangular head let out a fierce roar.
It was the first ancestor to be devoured by Naigu, and it was entangled with Naigu's soul for countless years. It was also the one that Naigu struggled to suppress the most.
Sensing the impending doom, it went completely mad, its entire phantom of will transforming into countless black, poisonous threads that frantically burrowed into Naigu's main consciousness.
The remaining thirty-five ancestral wills also became agitated, letting out sharp cries as they wrapped around the main consciousness. In an instant, Naigu's soul was thrown into chaos, and the intense pain multiplied several times over.
"A mere will dares to rebel!"
Qin Ming's eyes turned slightly cold, and he let out a sneer.
"Soul Millstone: The Cycle of Reincarnation!"
