The sea of flowers on both banks of the river suddenly withered away.
One after another. The blood-red color was no longer bright and vivid; the narrow petals gradually withered and fell. An unknown wind rose, and they completely dissipated into the wind, leaving only desolation everywhere.
Lin Xiao's consciousness was somewhat blurred. While immersed in the river water, he seemed to be able to see this world that had turned gray, defeated, and dead silent.
His memories had never been as clear as at this moment, from his previous life to this life, every detail of his death in the previous life, and then every word and every fleeting thought in this world.
Lin Xiao made no movements. He felt his body soaking in the river water. Gradually, it was as if he had lost his limbs, lost his body…
Even his thinking and consciousness itself had dissipated.
Every one of his thoughts spread throughout this ruined world.
For some reason, he suddenly understood why Electrolux, back then, had turned into a mass of gray mist after entering his spiritual sea, just like him at this moment. Those mists themselves were Electrolux's omnipresent will.
His consciousness spread out, and Lin Xiao "saw" the full view of this "seam between life and death." Here, it was the same as his spiritual sea… No, this was his spiritual sea.
He could even see faint mist drifting in the lower reaches of the river, now surging violently.
Further out, he saw another world. There, the same dead-silent aura permeated everything. Countless remnant souls lingered within it, and on that originally broken land, they had built new scenery.
This should be the plane of the dead that stored his soul power.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao felt as if he had broken free from some restraint. His thoughts lightened abruptly. Looking again, the seawater churned. He himself, together with several souls, was joining hands with Chen Haisheng to deal with the Spirit Monarch, who now only had one eyeball left.
And in the even vaster world between heaven and earth, he saw many things he had never noticed before.
He had never felt, even for a moment, that heaven and earth were so close to him, as if using its power was only a matter of a casual move.
That's right!
Lin Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something.
On the sea surface, the Spirit Monarch, who had lost the Evil Emperor's body and could only use a single eyeball, seemed to sense something. Even with an opponent in front of him, he still glanced around, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
Chen Haisheng saw the Spirit Monarch distracted. All the soul power in his body surged out. While attacking, he did not forget to glance at Lin Xiao, preparing to have him attack together.
However, when his gaze fell on Lin Xiao, he suddenly froze. Lin Xiao had completely stopped all movements. Even those auras that clearly existed but which he could not fully perceive had completely disappeared in this instant.
In a trance, Lin Xiao had already forgotten everything. He forgot the spiritual sea, forgot the plane of the dead, and even forgot this world itself. He no longer knew where he was right now, or perhaps he was everywhere.
Was this the feeling after death?
When ordinary people died, their consciousness dissipated. Even the powerful souls of Title Douluo, without external influence, would quickly disappear into the world between heaven and earth.
What he was feeling was definitely not the feeling after death.
More accurately, he had already experienced the feeling of death long ago. When he no longer rejected his memories and once again picked up the memory of that instant of death from his previous life, he had become the person in this world who understood death itself the most.
Nothing could bring greater understanding than personally experiencing it once.
And when his consciousness completely merged with his own power, the improvement in strength became the most natural thing.
How to break through to the Limit Douluo realm? This question that had troubled Lin Xiao for a long time was thus easily answered.
As long as one's cultivation and state of mind were sufficient, when the opportunity arrived, it would come naturally like water flowing to form a channel.
This feeling could not be explained in words, but cultivation was inherently something to be experienced with the heart and could not be taught through language.
Electrolux, whose strength had once been enough to become a god, naturally had such insight as well. But the feeling of having experienced death once was something he could never teach Lin Xiao.
Everything in the outside world became extremely slow. In Lin Xiao's already dried-up spiritual sea, a faint red gleam suddenly flickered. Moving closer, one could see a blood-red flower with blue patterns swaying gently.
All the remnant souls in the plane of the dead stopped their actions at this moment, pricking up their ears, as if they had heard the sound of river water ringing in the plane of the dead.
On both banks of the river, that bright and vivid sea of flowers lit up the entire plane of the dead.
In the outside world, Chen Haisheng's attack missed. Seeing that Lin Xiao was not moving, he stepped forward with one foot, about to advance again.
But the moment his toes landed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The vast sea that was closely connected to him seemed to disappear in an instant. He, who bore the Sea God's favor, was unable to feel the power of the sea for a moment.
He looked down. Was there any seawater beneath his feet? It was clearly a river. The river water was profound; just one glance at it seemed as if it would completely devour his mind.
Chen Haisheng's expression changed in alarm. He quickly raised his head and looked around. Petals were drifting down one after another. Not far ahead, the Spirit Monarch, like him, had his single remaining eyeball constantly scanning the surroundings.
The Spirit Monarch was even more perceptive than Chen Haisheng. The instant he detected something wrong, he controlled the Evil Emperor's remaining eyeball and tried to flee into the distance.
But no matter how much he struggled, he remained in the same spot, as if he had never moved at all.
The petals drifted with the wind, slowly gathering around the Spirit Monarch. Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, nine soul rings appeared one by one. When he looked again, those petals had already disappeared. Only Lin Xiao's figure quietly appeared.
At this moment, there was no distinction between the spiritual sea and the plane of the dead. Lin Xiao himself was all of this; he was heaven and earth itself.
The Spirit Monarch controlled the Evil Emperor's eyeball to look toward Lin Xiao. The moment he clearly saw Lin Xiao's figure, a terrifying aura finally emanated from Lin Xiao's body.
That was the limit of a soul master, the limit of a human, and also the limit of death that Lin Xiao had grasped.
There was clearly a human figure in front of him, yet in the Spirit Monarch's perception, Lin Xiao seemed to be everywhere. He was like death itself, permeating the world between heaven and earth, invisible and intangible, yet undeniably existing. Silent, deathly still, and ice-cold.
Even he, who came from the abyss plane, felt an indescribable discomfort at this moment.
Lin Xiao's eyes were like an ancient well without ripples, without sorrow or joy. His palm gently clenched, and it was as if the power of heaven and earth squeezed in from all directions. The Evil Emperor's eyeball suddenly filled with blood. Power surged within it but had nowhere to be released. The entire eyeball swelled like it was congested and then burst.
Dark red juice splashed in all directions, as if a light rain had fallen. The auras of the Evil Emperor and the Spirit Monarch completely dissipated in this light rain.
"Solved?" Chen Haisheng spoke softly.
Lin Xiao did not reply. He simply clenched his right palm tightly and slightly raised his head, looking toward somewhere unknown.
