The Venerable King Chants to Subdue the Demon; the Heavenly Venerables Play Chess and Watch the Calamity Unfold

In an instant, flowers bloomed throughout the chaotic cosmos.

Golden lotuses swayed, scattering Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit. Countless Sangharamas chanted of bodhi together, while hundreds of millions of monks and nuns raised their voices in Buddhist hymns.

Across the universe, golden lotuses spread like a sea. Giant clams gleamed, jeweled trees shone, and pagodas rose from the ground, transforming the chaos into stretches of Pure Land.

Profound Lord Zizai stared at the enormous golden palm, lustrous as crimson-gold glass, and at the Buddhist swastika in its center, suspended like a great sun. His expression turned grim; his smile had vanished. The Buddhist Sect had gained another Dao-Wielding Realm expert!

In the next instant, Seven-Marvel Ink Lotuses bloomed around Profound Lord Zizai. His true body dissolved like a bubble, evading the palm that suppressed chaotic spacetime and the ages of time.

In a head-on fight, Profound Lord Zizai certainly could not match the great warriors of the Dao-Wielding Realm. In other methods, though, he was inferior to no Dao-Holding Pure Yang expert. Even three or five such experts might fail to capture him.

It was not that Profound Lord Zizai was especially good at fighting. His Divine Abilities were simply mysterious enough.

As a Great Heavenly Demon Master, an innate sacred being born of extreme yin and the desires of all living things on chaos's dark side, Profound Lord Zizai could enter the Netherworld or ascend to the nine heavens with a thought. Across All Heavens and Myriad Worlds and the chaotic cosmos, there were few places he could not reach.

It was as though Profound Lord Zizai truly were only a phantom. He could pass freely through the void and wander chaos at will. Wherever there was a dark side, wherever there was desire, his trace could be found.
