Above the sea.
Ink-black ash filled the space between sea and sky. Vast barriers of black ash and fire rose with it, opening like lotuses in a thunderous bloom that churned the milky-white seawater.
Layer upon layer of radiant light rose above the sea. A nine-tiered, lotus-like pure land bore Calamity Power's withered body aloft, its radiance making the old monk's face gleam like gilded gold.
His gaze burned as he watched Sheni dart wildly about like a headless fly. Covetous longing showed on his face, and golden tears flowed from his hollow eyes.
"If I could convert this demon, who knows how much karmic weight it would add to the Calamity’s Remnant Pure Land?"
Sheni had already obtained the Great Cosmic Shuttle and borrowed a strand of destiny from that extraordinary treasure. Moreover, he was a notorious bandit chief of the Western Sea; there was no telling how heavy the karma upon him had become.
What was more, this demon practiced neither ritual observances nor the demonic path, but an exceedingly orthodox path of immortal cultivation.
Such a demon was almost the ideal subject for conversion. The sight made golden tears stream like water from Sheni's hollow eyes, a deeply horrifying sight.
Calamity Power continuously erased the great void in the area, suppressing Sheni with the pure land while sending all five ghost-demon diamonds forward in formation to kill him.
The Three Luminaries Flame Formation blazed fiercely. With a cold gaze, Pingxiu raised the Heaven-Covering Eight Trigrams Furnace in his hands. Calamity Power was currently holding Sheni back by erasing the great void, relying on the black ash that filled the sky.
Kun Pool Ash.
This was tribulation ash, material truly left behind after enduring a tribulation, and exceedingly rare in the world. It inherently repelled the great void.
