Eighteen black purgatories, radiating endless sin and suffering, slowly rose, their boundless sinful energy sweeping through every corner of the Underworld.
The souls queuing for reincarnation on the Yellow Spring Road were torn to shreds, becoming nourishment for hell itself.
Xiruan, who had been pushing through all the way to the entrance of the Ninth Hall, stopped. She looked at the eighteen black purgatories slowly rising in the distance.
"Wow! Such big building blocks!"
"This looks way more fun than that slide and swimming pool from before!"
She clapped her little hands excitedly, her large eyes sparkling with anticipation, like a child who had just discovered a new toy.
The disciples of the Intercepting Sect didn't share her cheerful disposition.
"The primal power of the eighteen layers of hell!"
Immortal Wuyun's face was grave, his voice hoarse.
"King Ksitigarbha has gone mad! He's actually drawing upon the primal power of hell, depleting his own cultivation!"
"This power is infinitely close to that of a Saint! Can our Senior Disciple Sister... withstand it?"
Every disciple of the Intercepting Sect held their breath.
They had just been reborn, just seen a glimmer of hope for revival. Were they now going to be suppressed here along with their Senior Disciple Sister?
"Senior, you must not be careless! This is the power of Avici Hell, drawn by King Ksitigarbha merging with hell!"
"In this hell, he is like a Saint, his words are law, and with a single thought, he can decide life and death and rewrite the rules!"
Holy Mother Wudang urgently warned.
"Oh, is it that powerful?"
Upon hearing this, Xiruan's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Perfect! Once I snatch this big toy from him, I'll take it back for Daddy to play with!"
"Daddy must be so bored being locked in the Small Dark Room by himself. If he has this to play with, he won't be bored!"
Holy Mother Wudang: "..."
At this moment, King Ksitigarbha's judgment voice resounded through heaven and earth again.
"Wicked creature! Die!"
RUMBLE--!
The merged Avici Hell transformed into a black continent that blotted out the sky, pressing down on Xiruan with a terrifying might that could obliterate all things!
Before this colossal black continent, Xiruan's tiny figure was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
"Good!"
Having collected rent all the way here, Xiruan's little bellyband was already filled with various rare treasures borrowed from the Ten Yama Kings.
Now, they were all converted into Chaos power by the Chaos Baby Bottle, with gray Chaos currents churning within the bottle.
"Break--!"
With a delicate shout, the Chaos Baby Bottle was hurled fiercely at the Avici Hell descending from the sky!
Devour!
Destroy!
Return to nothingness!
There was only one outcome--to be devoured! To be decomposed! To become nothingness!
"No--! My Avici Hell!"
King Ksitigarbha's shrill scream echoed through the Underworld once more.
"How could this be?!"
It was... Chaos! An existence older and more supreme than Primordial Chaos, older and more supreme than the Great Dao!
This little wicked creature could actually control the power of Chaos?!
Who exactly was she?!
"Pfft--!"
As Avici Hell was completely swallowed by the black hole, King Ksitigarbha couldn't withstand the terrifying backlash.
He fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.
His previously solemn Buddha's Golden Body was covered in terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks, his aura withered to the extreme. He was probably not even as strong as a Golden Immortal.
He had lost.
He had lost completely.
He had lost everything.
Xiruan beckoned with her small hand. The overstuffed Chaos Baby Bottle let out a burp and slowly flew back into her hand.
She walked up to King Ksitigarbha, who was sprawled on the ground, and asked in her milky voice:
"Hey, Baldy, what did you just say?"
"Hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha?"
Ksitigarbha's eyes were filled with endless despair and fear, unable to utter a single word.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed their name!
His hell, his Dao, his grand wish, had all been... eaten by Baby Bottle.
Xiruan saw this and put on a harmless smile, patting Ksitigarbha's shiny bald head with her small hand.
"Congratulations."
"Now, Hell is empty."
"You have become a Buddha!"
The last spark of light in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes completely extinguished.
His grand wish was the foundation of his enlightenment, the source of all his power for countless eons.
Hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha.
This sentence was both his shackle and his most powerful weapon.
Hell was truly empty.
Then what was his Dao, his grand wish, the meaning of his existence?
"Pfft--"
Ksitigarbha spat out another mouthful of Buddha-blood, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.
"Huh? Why did you fall asleep?"
Xiruan pouted with boredom, looking at the motionless bald head.
She had wanted to ask him what it felt like to become a Buddha.
Was it as sweet as eating a lollipop!
Boring, too fragile to play with.
Wuyun Immortal, Qiushou Immortal, Jinguang Immortal... thousands of Intercepting Sect true spirits stood there dumbfounded, their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg.
What just happened?
What did they see?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had made their lives a living hell and prevented them from dying, was gone just like that?!
This... what level of combat power was this, damn it?
Saint?
Wuyun Immortal and the others had seen Saints in action before.
Back then, during the Myriad Immortals Array, when the four Saints arrived, the scene was earth-shattering, but it was absolutely not as shocking as this.
When Saints fought, there was at least a collision of laws, a struggle for the Great Dao.
But this junior sister?
She didn't bother with laws or Great Dao. She just smashed him with a simple, brutal Baby Bottle.
No matter what kind of Avici Hell or peak Quasi-Saint you were, you were no different from paper in front of that Baby Bottle.
"This... this is... the legendary... proving the Dao through sheer force?"
Qiushou Immortal's Adam's apple bobbed, and he struggled to squeeze out a sentence.
Great God Pangu created the world with absolute power!
With one axe strike, he split apart all the Chaos, Devil gods, and Great Dao laws!
How similar was this junior sister's fighting style to that!
"Hey! What are you guys still standing around for?"
Xiruan looked at them, all standing there like idiots, and became impatient.
"The biggest bad boss has been defeated by me, now it's time to confiscate his property!"
After defeating the bad guy, it's time to ransack his house! This is a rule written in storybooks!
The bald factory director's office must be hiding lots and lots of valuable treasures! Maybe they'll even find the account books where they withheld employee wages!
"Let's go! To that place called... Cuiyun Palace!"
"Jun... Junior Sister, wait a moment!" Wuyun Immortal snapped out of his shock and pointed at the Ten Kings of Hell. "Junior Sister, what should we do with those ten foremen?"
The ten Yama Kings trembled and knelt down in unison.
"Please spare us, Grandma!"
"We are innocent!"
"We were also forced by that Ksitigarbha fellow!"
"We are willing to atone for our crimes! We are willing to offer all our possessions!"
King Qin Guang cried the loudest. He truly regretted why he had provoked the Intercepting Sect back then.
Xiruan tilted her little head and thought for a moment.
"Go tie up that sleeping bald guy for me!"
She pointed at Ksitigarbha.
"Huh?"
The Ten Yama Kings were all stunned.
