The Ancestor Minghe was extremely shocked and enraged. The Twelfth-Tier Karmic Fire Hong Lian was his companion magic treasure, which had the effect of being untainted by karmic forces and possessed powerful defensive capabilities. Moreover, the background of this treasure was extraordinary.
Long ago, Pangu, with the Thirty-Sixth-Tier Chaos Creation Azure Lotus atop his head and wielding the Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe, tore the Chaos apart.
After the creation of the world Thirty-Sixth-Tier Chaos Creation Azure Lotus transformed into the Twelfth-Tier Golden Lotus of Merit, which gave birth to the Western Sage Jieyin, becoming his companion magic treasure. The Twelfth-Tier World-Destroying Demonic Lotus was obtained by the Demon Ancestor Luohou, who was later defeated, died, and his body disintegrated.
The twelfth grade is this Karmic Fire Hong Lian.
The Minghe values Twelfth-Tier Karmic Fire Hong Lian even more than the Yuantu and Abi swords.
Minghe no longer concealed his strength, displaying the overwhelming power of Peak Quasi-Sage at the peak in his Blood Sea home arena!
The karmic flames of the Yuantu Abi twin swords seemed to cleave the sky, leaving behind dark spatial ravines that were difficult to mend.
Minghe unleashed a barrage of powerful and continuous killing blows at Xiao Tian like a madman.
"Return the ancestral treasure to its rightful owner!"
The Blood Sea surged to the heavens, countless wronged souls perished, and the Ancestor Minghe even communicated with countless Blood God Son within the Blood Sea.
In an instant, countless scarlet sword shadows appeared in the boundless sea of the Blood Sea, forming a vast Net Trap that bombarded the area where Xiao Tian was located.
The Great Witch Xiangliu was horrified, and the Ancestral Witch Houtu was shocked; the Minghe had actually hidden such a deadly move.
The rampage of billions of sword energies would kill even two Late-Stage Quasi-Sage- Saints!
The wrath of the Ancestor Minghe alarmed all the saints and powerful beings of the Primordial.
" Minghe, interesting. However, although your method is powerful, I have already comprehended an extraordinary divine power."
Xiao Tian had a relaxed smile on his face. Some time ago, because of his avatar, King Zhou Di Xin injured the Sage Zhunti, and the reward he received allowed him to comprehend the laws of space and time to an extremely Great Dao level, and his own ability, Kamui Intangibility, was strengthened.
Amidst a sky full of blood-red sword blades, Xiao Tian's figure weaved through the air, quickly breaking out of the sword formation's range.
"Just accept your defeat, Minghe!"
A thunderous, majestic sound exploded through the sky!
The Chaos Bell, which was pressing down on the Minghe, suddenly shone even brighter, and some strange runes appeared on it.
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones Zhunti, Jieyin, Nüwa were greatly alarmed.
The Chaos Bell seems to have changed! They can see that the Chaos Bell, connecting with the Primordial World and forming a vast world, using the power of that world to suppress it!
clang!
The bell of Chaos Bell resounded, as if it had traveled through time from the distant Chaos era, ancient, long, sacred, and majestic.
Minghe felt slightly dizzy, his internal magical power began to become disordered, and his body began to feel numb.
"How is that possible!"
Minghe recovered from his dizziness, only to find himself severed from all contact with the countless Blood God Son! The Blood Sea seemed to have abandoned him, no longer favoring him! His strongest reliance was gone!
boom!
The Blood Sea was filled with raging waves, and the Minghe was suppressed within the Blood Sea by the Chaos Bell!
" Minghe, I'll release you once I've finished my business."
Xiao Tian escaped from the Minghe's killing move, and not a single trace of the billions of indiscriminate and seamless evil sword flames touched him.
"How is this possible!" This was the heartfelt cry of many powerful beings in the Primordial, and also of all the saints.
" The Law of the Great Dao of Space have actually been cultivated to such a level!" Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones, frowned. He tried to calculate, but he couldn't figure out the origin of Xiao Tian's divine power.
"Below the Sage, Xiao Tian should be number one." Yuanshi murmured to himself as his gaze pierced the Blood Sea.
"Well done, Xiao Tian! You truly are worthy of being a descendant of Pangu! I wonder how strong you will become after you become a saint! I really want to meet you! I also want to see where the limits of my Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation are!" A fighting spirit suddenly arose in Tongtian's heart.
At Five Manors Temple, Great Immortal Zhenyuan sighed, recalling once again the fear he felt outside the Purple Cloud Palace when he was dominated by Xiao Tian.
The Minghe's killing move was so powerful that no Quasi-Sage beings below Primordial level of Sage could withstand it unscathed, not even Zhenyuanzi, who possessed the Book of the Earth formed from the membrane of the earth.
Trapped inside the Chaos Bell, Minghe gradually calmed down from his initial shock and fear.
Minghe realized that Xiao Tian didn't want to kill him, so he wasn't afraid anymore.
"Quiet down, everyone. Houtu, you can continue," Xiao Tian said to Houtu in the distance.
Houtu nodded and whispered her thanks.
Houtu used her benevolent, gentle, and peaceful magical power to influence the wronged and remnant souls in the Blood Sea.
After a long while, immeasurable merit descended from the heavens, splitting into two streams that entered Xiao Tian and Houtu's bodies.
In the depths of her being, Houtu knew what she had to do.
" Houtu of the Witch Clan, I vow to transform myself into Six Paths of Reincarnation, receiving the wandering souls of the dead throughout the Primordial World, rewarding and punishing them according to the Deva Path Dao's merits! Those who accumulated much merit and became sages in their lifetimes will enter the Deva Realm Path. Those without karma or sins, or those who have cleansed their sins and karma in the eighteen Eighteen Levels of Hell, can enter the Human Path. Those who committed great evils in their lifetimes will be reborn in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and will be reborn according to their respective categories: the Animal Path, the Asura Path, the Preta Path, and the Naraka Path..."
In an instant, immeasurable merit descended from the heavens once more, entering Houtu's body.
The Great Witch Xiangliu cried out in grief and indignation, "Lord Houtu!"
Deep within the Blood Sea, due to Houtu's great vow, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and the Underworld came into being.
"Our Witch Clan committed grave sins in the War of the Witches and Demons Zhuolu. From this day forward, our Witch Clan will never be able to escape the Underworld, where we will oversee and receive the souls and wandering spirits of the dead from all corners of the Primordial..."
"We will obey the command of the Houtu witch Houtu!" The sons of the Witch Clan heard the voice of Houtu Ancestral Witch, resounding in their hearts.
Houtu's body gradually faded, and the Ancestral Witch Houtu became a thing of the past.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, thank you."
Xiao Tian knew that Houtu was thanking him for enlightening Houtu, giving the Witch Clan the opportunity to continue existing in the Primordial world.
" Houtu, enough with just words. I want one of the Five Ghost Emperors, and one of the Yanluo of the Ten Courts."
"One Ghost Emperor is acceptable, but the Yanluo of the Ten Courts are not." Houtu learned that in this Underworld order system, the Ghost Emperor is the one who guards the area, sitting in charge of the Little Underworld he has opened up in some places in the mortal world, which is equivalent to a regional governor. As for the Yanluo of the Ten Courts, Houtu had the idea of having someone from the Witch Clan take on the role.
"Alright, then let's make him a Ghost Emperor. He can hold a sinecure and come visit you occasionally." Xiao Tian chuckled.
At the Empress Wa Palace, Nüwa's expression immediately turned sour.
Soon, an unparalleled holy might swept across the Primordial World and all realms.
Golden lotuses fill the sky, and sweet rain bestows blessings upon all living beings!
In some places, the enemy forces on both sides were stunned, and both sides' wounds had completely healed!
Because Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and possessed great merit, she completely refined the Primordial Purple Qi she controlled, thus becoming the seventh Sage!
The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nüwa all offered their congratulations and manifested their holy forms.
"Congratulations on becoming a saint, fellow Daoist! In the process of liberating ghosts and spirits, our Western Mahayana Buddhist Dharma has unique insights, making us worthy of being one of the Ten Kings of Hell." Zhunti said shamelessly.
The Jieyin, "Excellent!"
The Three Pure Ones ' intentions were also quite clear: they also wanted a share of the Underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After all, if their disciples died and were reincarnated through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Houtu (the goddess of the Houtu ) was displeased, it would be dangerous if someone who was originally destined for the Deva Realm Path and should have been reborn as a descendant of an immortal or god ended up in the Animal Path instead.
Houtu Yitan inwardly, knowing that she could not wield the power of order in the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Underworld alone, nor would Deva Path allow it.
After a long while, apart from Nüwa, the other Sage left satisfied. Houtu's figure also grew dimmer. Although her Sage body would possess a primordial spirit that the Witch Clan did not have, she would be confined to the Underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, unable to leave.
" Nüwa, let's go check out the Underworld. And why did you ask for hundreds of judges? What's the point?"
Nüwa glanced at Xiao Deva Path and said, "Hmph! The Yanluo of the Ten Courts have great power, but it wouldn't be of much use to me. Besides, I don't have a large family or business. I won't go to the Underworld. Go see the beauties yourself."
"Oh, then I'll come find you another day. Underworld Houtu, so there will be many kinds of Breathing Soil. I'll get you more."
"I don't want to." Nüwa's divine form vanished.
Xiao Tian touched his nose and detected a sour smell.
At this moment, Minghe, who was suppressed by the Chaos Bell, was neither happy nor sad. He also gained a lot of merit from the opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Underworld, and the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Some of his Asura Clan were conscripted, and many souls will be reborn Asura Clan in the future.
" Houtu, I admire you." Minghe's eyes showed reverence.
Suddenly, the suppressive and binding power of the Chaos Bell disappeared.
"Brother Minghe, I've done you a huge favor. How are you going to thank me?"
Minghe's face darkened instantly, and he coldly snorted, "You stole my Twelfth-Tier Karmic Fire Hong Lian!"
"I can return this treasure to you, but I want three talented Asura Clan girls."
Minghe's expression turned strange as he carefully and meticulously examined Xiao Tian, as if he were seeing Xiao Tian for the first time.
"Hey! Minghe, don't overthink it."
"We're all men, I understand! Don't worry! I'll pick out three absolutely pure, highly talented men for you." As a seasoned veteran who's tired of the usual high-energy stuff, the Ancestor Minghe assured him.
Xiao Tian's forehead veins throbbed, and his face was covered in black lines. He felt the murderous gaze emanating from a certain great god in the Thirty-Three Heavens.
" Minghe! Don't think nonsense! I need these three Asura girls because I've recently gained profound insights and researched the Three Talents Profound Formation. The Asura Clan's innate malevolent energy that you created makes them excellent candidates..."
Minghe waved his hand, turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, there's no need to explain, this old ancestor understands."
You don't understand a damn thing!
Xiao Tian almost considered using the Chaos Bell to suppress the Minghe again.
After visiting the underworld and checking on the situation, Houtu, who had changed her name to Pingxin, secretly gave the Great Witch Jiufeng, the Ancestral Witches, and their essence blood that she had once saved, new identities through the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Netherworld, and the rules of the underworld.
This was done by Xiao Tian behind Houtu. Even if Deva Path discovers it Houtu and suspects it, she won't be able to trace it back to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian took three pure Asura girls with royal blood from the Blood Sea Minghe lair and returned them to the Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall. He had them cultivate the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Talents Asura Formation, and then took countless Breathing Soil into the Chaos.
At the Empress Wa Palace, Nüwa received Xiao Tian with a blank expression.
" Nüwa, how about trying my latest food invention, instant noodles?"
Nüwa was taken aback.
