Myriad Red Dust

Daoist Jieyin's vast Dao Sound echoed through Chaos. "This item is fated for our Western Teachings!" His palm, containing boundless Nirvana Buddha Light, was just about to touch the drifting fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation.

"Impudent!" "Leave it!" "Break!"

The Three Pure Ones shouted in fury almost simultaneously. With a point of Laozi's Flat Staff, the twin qi of yin and yang transformed into a golden bridge, stabilizing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind—and seeking to restrain Jieyin's hand as well.

Primordial Lord of Heaven shook the Pangu Banner again. A Chaos sword qi ten times fiercer than before tore through the Buddha Light and slashed straight at Jieyin's wrist.

Lord of the Heavens was even more direct. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords gave a piercing ring, and an Immortal Slaying Sword Intent condensed to the extreme struck later yet arrived first, stabbing toward Jieyin's palm!

Three peak Quasi-Saints of the Primordial World attacked at once, their power enough to overturn this stretch of Chaos and forcibly reverse its laws!

Daoist Jieyin's expression grew ever more sorrowful. Buddha Light around him swayed violently, and the hand reaching for the Jade Disk slowed sharply, on the verge of failing at the last moment!

At that critical instant—

Ming Xin, who was locked in fierce battle with Di Jun and Tai Yi, suddenly felt his heart jolt! He sensed his Past Self, protected behind Jieyin and Zhunti.

Under that terrifying pressure and the stimulation of the Jade Disk of Creation's Dao aura so close at hand, the qi within him abruptly boiled over. The bottleneck that had held him at the middle stage of Quasi-Saint suddenly cracked open!

This was not merely an accumulation of Magic Power, but a profound realization of his own Dao and the system's foundation, surging into his heart like a flood bursting through a dam!

Mortal World! Reincarnation! Was not the system founded upon and operated through this vast Mortal World, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of living beings, and the endless Cause and Effect of life and death through Reincarnation?!

"Ten thousand years of Mortal World, a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation; the Seven Emotions as fire, the Six Desires as fuel; temper my true spirit, prove my Great Dao!"

Ming Xin's Past Self suddenly opened his eyes. They no longer held simple longing, but endless vicissitudes and enlightenment.

His aura surged madly as though riding a rocket, instantly breaking through the barrier and reaching the late stage of Quasi-Saint!

Even more mysteriously, an intangible yet omnipresent Power of Law erupted outward with his Past Self as its center!

"Myriad Red Dust Domain!"

Ming Xin's main body and Past Self shouted at the same time.

In an instant, a bizarre scene unfolded! This violent Chaos, previously filled only with rampaging Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind and collisions of divine abilities and spiritual treasures, seemed to have been forcibly dragged into another dimension.

Countless scenes of the Mortal World appeared from nowhere: sorrow and joy, unions and partings, love and hatred, the rise and fall of dynasties, the flourishing of living beings... The power of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires became decadent music, winding around the minds of all the mighty cultivators.

The intent of Reincarnation became a vortex, attempting to pull at their primordial spirits and make them feel as though they had lived through hundreds and thousands of lifetimes!

This was not a spell that directly attacked the flesh, but a supreme divine ability that targeted the Dao heart and disrupted the primordial spirit!

Even the Three Pure Ones could not help but pause slightly. A ripple appeared in Laozi's placid eyes, as though he had seen the future rise and fall of the Human Race.

Primordial Lord of Heaven furrowed his brow tightly, as though he felt the resentment and obsession that would arise from quarreling with Tongtian in the future because of his own temperament; Lord of the Heavens' sword qi slowed slightly, and before his eyes seemed to appear the grand spectacle of ten thousand immortals paying homage, along with the desolation of its eventual end...

A trace of discord appeared in the operation of Di Jun and Tai Yi's Myriad Stars Array, as though they had seen the destined twilight of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

Empress Nuwa sighed softly, her eyes revealing complicated emotions toward the Fate of the Human Race.

Styx River, Kun Peng, Zhen Yuan Zi, and the other mighty cultivators were even more shaken. To varying degrees, they fell into Mortal World illusions born from their own obsessions or regrets!

The incomparably fierce battlefield actually froze for an instant because of this sudden "Myriad Red Dust Domain"!

Now!

Taking advantage of the tiny opening created while the Three Pure Ones were obstructed, Daoist Jieyin's hand suddenly seized that warm, slightly cool fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation, overflowing with endless Dao aura!

"Go!"

Ming Xin's true body shouted. Five Elements Divine Light swept up his Past Self, whose aura had changed drastically, and they instantly joined up with Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Daoist Zhunti was overjoyed. He fiercely swept the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree through the void, opening a passage.

The four did not linger for battle, transforming into four streams of light—one of Nirvana Buddha Light, one of Seven-Colored Treasure Light, one of Chaos Five Elements light, and one of newly born Mortal World Reincarnation light.

Before the mighty cultivators could fully break free from the Red Dust Domain, they shot out of this chaotic region of Chaos and vanished without a trace!

By the time the Three Pure Ones, the Demon Emperor, and the other mighty cultivators violently scattered the Mortal World qi around them and escaped the Reincarnation illusions,

Jieyin, Zhunti, Ming Xin, and his disciple were already nowhere to be seen. Only the towering Green Lotus of Creation still swayed slowly.

"Red... Dust... laws?" Laozi slowly withdrew his gaze, expressionless and unreadable.

"Hmph! Heretical Paths!" Primordial Lord of Heaven snorted coldly, his face dark as he recalled the Pangu Banner. He was clearly truly enraged.

Lord of the Heavens sheathed his swords and stood there, gazing in the direction they had departed. Yet a barely perceptible flicker of surprise and curiosity crossed his eyes.

Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces were livid. The phantoms of the Myriad Stars Array slowly withdrew. The prize had flown from their grasp, and they had gained a deadly enemy for nothing; rage boiled within them.

The other mighty cultivators also came back to their senses one after another. They looked at one another, each seeing uncertainty and shock in the others' eyes.

No one had expected that, in the end, the Western Teachings would rely on Ming Xin's sudden breakthrough and an unheard-of, bizarre divine ability to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and emerge as the greatest winner!

Chaos returned to its turmoil, but the focus of the struggle had been reduced to the Chaos Green Lotus, which no one could easily take away.

And the subject of "Mortal World," "Reincarnation," and Ming Xin's bizarre divine ability would inevitably shake the upper echelons of the Entire Primordial World as these mighty cultivators returned.
