Tang Sanzang was still pondering why his power had increased.
That was when the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha extended his hand.
Following the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha's movement,
golden light spread forth of its own accord.
In an instant, Spiritual Mountain bloomed with resplendent golden lotuses,
and their blooming was like some kind of signal.
At the very summit of the heavens, the blood-colored vortex that only Guanyin and the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha had noticed immediately reacted.
In a single instant, its coverage expanded by an unknown number of times.
At a speed so extreme that virtually no one could observe the process,
it forcefully blanketed the boundless sky of the Primordial World, vast enough to contain every territory of the entire Regular Universe!
None of the inhabitants had time to react.
When they looked up, everything around them had already turned blood red!
Even the golden yellow Scorching Sun overhead was forcibly dyed blood-colored, as though it had been kneaded from blood and minced flesh.
It was filled with an eerie sensation.
Even the Netherworld, which lay in a different dimension and was not conventionally situated within this world,
was unavoidably affected!
For a time,
countless humans, gods, demons, devils, immortals, ghosts, beasts, and monsters raised their heads in stunned confusion.
Even Hongjun, who had ascended to the Sage Position in this restart and, following his predetermined Destiny, attained Confluence with Dao to become the world's overseer,
after involuntarily falling into a daze,
said softly with a worried and perplexed expression:
"Outer Realm Sky Demon..."
"An ominous portent..."
Though his strength was lacking,
as an existence connected to the Heavenly Dao,
he could still clearly determine
that the being now emerging from the shadows and revealing a mere trace of its peripheral power was absolutely not a lifeform
