While the two Western saints were still weeping bitterly, heartbroken over the disappearance of their precious Golden Lotus.
The Netherworld, this Primordial World drama that shocked the primordial world, has only just begun its climax.
As Qin Feng felt the trembling of the beauty in his arms gradually subside, he was about to make a teasing remark when the long-lost mechanical notification sound in his mind rang out precisely on time, like heavenly music.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully helping Houtu break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and perfect the cycle of reincarnation in the Earthly Dao!"
Mission rating: Perfect!
"Rewards being distributed..."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Supreme Authority of the Earthly Dao Realm - Reincarnation Ruler!"
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Great Dao Divine Ability - Book of Life and Death (Ignoring the karma of saints, judging life and death with a single stroke)!"
boom!
As the system's voice faded, an indescribable, profound power poured into Qin Feng's sea of consciousness out of thin air.
In that instant, his perspective changed.
The originally dark and gloomy Netherworld instantly transformed in his eyes into countless crisscrossing threads of rules.
Each thread represents the fate of a living being, a cycle of cause and effect.
From ants on the ground to gods and immortals in the heavens, even... the lofty and Daluo Golden Immortal.
As long as one has not become a saint, one's name remains hidden within this network of rules.
Qin Feng's mind raced.
A sense of exhilaration, as if in complete control, arises spontaneously.
At this moment, he felt that he was the master of this netherworld. With just a flick of his finger, he could change the life and death, fortune and misfortune of billions of living beings at will, and even decide whether they would be kings and generals or be born with fur and horns in their next life.
This is... the power of the ruler of reincarnation!
It's on a completely different level than the original "King of Hell" who could only work according to the rules!
at the same time.
An immense, outrageously Merit Golden Light surged forth from the newly formed source of the Earthly Dao's essence, pouring into Qin Feng's body like a golden waterfall.
This is a Earthly Dao thank-you gift!
If it were anyone else, faced with such a vast influx of merit, they would probably be overjoyed and seize the opportunity to sever their corpse and attain enlightenment.
But Qin Feng simply yawned lazily, letting the Chaos Undying Body, like a bottomless pit, swallow up all the merit that was enough to create several Quasi-Saint.
Under this ruthless absorption, his cultivation level began to rise steadily.
Late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal...
Peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm...
Half-step Quasi-Saint!
In just a few breaths, his aura surged dozens of times, and every move he made exuded a terrifying pressure capable of crushing the void.
"Tsk, it's alright, so-so."
Qin Feng clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
Although he didn't directly attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, his foundation was as solid as a rock. Challenging opponents of higher levels was now as easy for him as eating and drinking.
However.
Before he could even properly adjust to his sudden surge in power, Houtu, the Houtu in his arms, suddenly underwent a strange change.
Buzz--!!!
An aura a hundred times more terrifying than when the Earthly Dao was perfected suddenly erupted from her delicate body!
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, released his grip, took a half-step back, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"Is it finally... coming?"
Houtu's Houtu gentle and dignified palace attire was instantly reduced to dust under the endless divine light of the Earthly Dao passage.
In its place was a set of earth-yellow armor exuding an ancient and desolate aura. The armor was engraved with countless ferocious yet sacred Ancestral Witch runes, flowing with a power of laws as heavy as a mountain.
Her figure also underwent a dramatic transformation at that moment.
The gentle, compassionate, and approachable demeanor of " Empress Pingxin " that she once possessed is rapidly fading away.
A domineering, wild, supreme majesty that reigns over the earth and bears all things has returned to her!
That is... the Ancestral Witch Houtu!
The peerless female God of War who once dominated the primordial world, fought against the demon Primordial World for supremacy, and whose physical body could withstand the Eastern Emperor Bell, has returned!
But this is just the beginning.
As the primordial essence of the Earthly Dao continued to pour in, the earth beneath Houtu's feet began to tremble violently, as if welcoming their king.
An enormous, illusory Merit Golden Lotus (although the original version was refined, its essence has been integrated into the Earthly Dao ) slowly bloomed at her feet, making her appear like Mother Earth, sacred and inviolable.
Just then...
hold head high--!!!
A dragon's roar that resounded throughout the three realms echoed from the deepest part of the Earthly Dao's origin.
Immediately afterwards.
A wisp of purple mist.
Dao Venerable Primordial Violet Qi, supremely noble and containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the Great Dao Origin, roared out of the earth's core like a purple dragon and headed straight for Houtu!
The moment that purple aura appeared, the entire Primordial World instantly froze!
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Purple Heavens Palace, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had been in seclusion for many years and had merged with the Heavenly Dao, suddenly opened his eyes.
For the first time, a trace of astonishment appeared in those eyes that were as calm as still water, seemingly encompassing the entire universe.
" Primordial Violet Qi?!"
" The Earthly Dao... has actually given rise to its own Primordial Violet Qi?!"
How is that possible!
The Primordial Violet Qi is the Foundation of the Great Dao and the ticket to sainthood. Since the World Creation, only a few of these Qi have been held by Hongjun.
Now that the Heavenly Dao has filled all the Saint Position, where would the extra purple aura come from?
unless...
This purple aura does not belong to the Heavenly Dao!
It is the Earthly Dao Saint Position, after Earthly Dao independent, sensed the laws of the Great Dao and spontaneously gave birth to itself!
Before Hongjun could figure out the key, the purple energy had already merged into Houtu's brow without any hindrance.
Rumble--!!!
At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent, and all things lost their color.
A terrifying pressure, surpassing the peak of Quasi-Saint, transcending the level of life, and above all living beings, swept across the entire Primordial World land with Houtu as its center, breaking through the Netherworld Barrier and soaring straight into the heavens!
Auspicious purple clouds drift eastward for thirty thousand miles!
Golden flowers fell from the sky, Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth, Immortal Music music filled the air, and an exotic fragrance wafted through the air!
All living beings in the entire Primordial World, whether they were cultivating, fighting, or sleeping, were forced to kneel on the ground, trembling, by this immense pressure from the saint!
A new saint has been born!
Moreover, this sage's aura was completely different from that of the previous Heavenly Dao Saint who hung high in the sky.
She is profound, she is deep, she is all-encompassing, yet she carries an undeniable independence and domineering presence!
Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Having just been driven into seclusion by Qin Feng and was attempting to repair his Dao Heart, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly spat a mouthful of blood onto the futon in front of him.
He didn't bother wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, stumbled out of the main hall, stared wide-eyed at the purple pillar of light shooting into the sky from the direction of the Netherworld, and was completely dumbfounded.
"Hou... Houtu?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Wasn't she suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, never to rise again?"
"How could she possibly become a saint?!"
"This is outrageous! Is there no law left?!"
Yuanshi Tianzun felt that his brain was not working properly.
A prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment not only escaped, but also somehow became the warden, someone on equal footing with them?
Did they pick up the wrong script?
Shouyang Mountain, Eight Sceneries Palace.
While refining elixirs, Grand Supreme Elder Lao) flicked his wrist, and the batch of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that was about to be produced exploded into ashes with a "bang."
But he didn't even glance at the broken Alchemy Furnace; his usual Supreme Forgetfulness and serene expression completely crumbled.
He stared intently in the direction of the underworld, his cloudy old eyes flashing with a sharp light, his fingers rubbing together so hard they almost sparked.
" The Earthly Dao is revived... an alternative path to sainthood..."
"A variable... a truly earth-shattering variable!"
"The heavens of this Primordial World world are about to change!"
Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace.
The Tongtian Jiaozhu was holding the Qingping Sword, pondering how to provoke the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable. Upon sensing this aura, he was first taken aback, then suddenly slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Good! Great!"
" Houtu has actually become a saint!"
"Now let's see how those hypocritical bastards will sit still!"
"Interesting, very interesting! This Primordial World is finally no longer that stagnant pool!"
Meanwhile, Houtu, the person involved, is currently suspended in the Netherworld.
She slowly opened her eyes.
In those eyes, the sun, moon, and stars revolve, mountains and rivers change, a single glance lasts a thousand years.
Feeling the boundless, sage-like power within her, capable of mobilizing the entire Earthly Dao world with a mere gesture, she took a deep breath, her gaze piercing through layers of space, and looked down at the white-robed man standing below, hands in his pockets, smiling at her.
The joy of becoming a saint and the majesty of the Lord of the Earthly Dao all vanished the moment they saw that man, turning into a river of spring water.
She descended slowly, withdrawing the overwhelming aura of a saint that could crush the heavens, and walked barefoot step by step to Qin Feng.
Then, under the astonished gazes of all the gods and Buddhas.
This newly enlightened, supremely noble Earthly Dao bowed gracefully to the man who only possessed the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
" Houtu thanks you, young master, for your life-saving grace."
