Ten Thousand Miles of Red Dust

Daoist Jieyin's vast Dao Sound echoed through the chaos: "This object is fated for my Western Teachings!" That palm, brimming with endless Nirvana Buddha Light, was about to touch the drifting fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation.

"Presumptuous!" "Leave it!" "Break!"

The Three Pure Ones roared almost simultaneously. Laozi's flat staff pointed, and the two energies of Yin and Yang formed a golden bridge, stabilizing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and likewise seeking to halt Jieyin's hand;

Primordial Lord of Heaven shook the Pangu Banner again, and a chaotic sword qi ten times sharper than before tore through the Buddha Light, slashing straight at Jieyin's wrist;

Lord of the Heavens was even more direct—the Four Immortal Slaying Swords let out a sharp, piercing hum, and a condensed Immortal Slaying Sword Intent arrived before the strike, aiming for Jieyin's palm!

Three of the Primordial World's top Quasi-Saints struck simultaneously, their might nearly overturning this chaos and forcibly reversing the laws!

Daoist Jieyin's face grew ever more afflicted, his Buddha Light flickering violently. The hand reaching for the jade disk slowed sharply, on the verge of failure!

At this critical moment—

Ming Xin, locked in fierce battle with Di Jun and Tai Yi, felt a sudden jolt in his heart! He sensed his Past Self, shielded behind Jieyin and Zhunti.

Stimulated by the terrifying pressure and the nearby Dao resonance of the Jade Disk of Creation, the qi within him surged violently. The bottleneck stuck at mid Quasi-Saint suddenly loosened with a roar!

It wasn't mere accumulation of magic power, but a profound insight into his own Dao and the system's origin, flooding his mind like a bursting dam!

The Myriad Red Dust! Reincarnation! What the system relied on and operated through—wasn't it precisely this boundless mortal world, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of living beings, and the infinite karma of life, death, and reincarnation?!

"Ten thousand years in the red dust, a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation; the Seven Emotions as fire, the Six Desires as fuel; refine my true spirit, prove my Great Dao!"

Ming Xin's Past Self suddenly opened his eyes. In them was no longer simple longing, but endless vicissitude and enlightenment.

His aura shot up like a rocket, instantly breaking through the barrier and reaching late Quasi-Saint!

Even more mysterious, an intangible yet omnipresent Power of Law erupted outward from his Past Self!

"Myriad Red Dust Domain!"

Ming Xin's Main Body and Past Self both murmured at once.

In an instant, a bizarre scene unfolded! This violent chaos, originally only ravaged by Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind and clashing divine abilities and spiritual treasures, seemed forcibly dragged into another dimension.

Countless scenes of the mortal world materialized out of thin air: joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, love and hate, the rise and fall of dynasties, the propagation of life... The power of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires turned into seductive whispers, entangling the minds of all the great beings;

The intent of reincarnation swirled like a vortex, trying to pull at their Primordial Spirits, making them feel as if they had experienced hundreds or thousands of lifetimes in a daze!

This was no spell directly attacking the physical body, but a great divine ability targeting the Dao heart and disrupting the Primordial Spirit!

Even the Three Pure Ones couldn't help but pause slightly. Laozi's ancient, unfathomable eyes rippled faintly, as if glimpsing the future rise and fall of the Human Race;

Primordial Lord of Heaven frowned deeply, as if feeling the anger, attachment, and resentment of future arguments with Tongtian due to his own temperament; Lord of the Heavens' sword qi slowed, and before his eyes seemed to appear the grand scene of ten thousand immortals paying homage and the sorrow of its end...

Di Jun and Tai Yi's Myriad Stars Array showed a hint of discord, as if they saw the destined twilight of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court;

Empress Nuwa sighed softly, her eyes revealing complex emotions toward the fate of the Human Race;

Styx River, Kun Peng, Zhen Yuan Zi, and the other great beings were even more shaken, more or less falling into the red dust illusions born from their own obsessions or regrets!

The entire fierce battlefield, because of this sudden "Myriad Red Dust Domain," experienced a moment of stagnation!

Now!

Taking advantage of the brief pause when the Three Pure Ones were hindered, Daoist Jieyin's hand fiercely grabbed that warm, slightly cool fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation, endless in Dao resonance!

"Go!"

Ming Xin's Main Body shouted, and the Five Elements Divine Light swept up his Past Self, whose aura had already transformed, instantly converging with Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Hahaha! Excellent! Excellent!" Daoist Zhunti rejoiced greatly. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree swept fiercely across the void, opening a passage.

The four did not linger in battle. Transforming into four streaks of light—a Nirvana Buddha Light, a seven-colored treasure light, a chaotic five-element light, and a newborn light of red dust and reincarnation—

They took advantage of the moment before the great beings had fully broken free from the Red Dust Domain, rushed out of this chaotic region, and vanished without a trace!

By the time the Three Pure Ones, the Demon Emperors, and other great beings violently shook off the red dust qi around them and escaped the reincarnation illusions, The figures of Jieyin, Zhunti, and Ming Xin and his disciple were long gone. Only the towering Chaos Green Lotus remained, gently swaying.

"Red... Dust... Law?" Laozi slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression unreadable, neither joy nor anger.

"Hmph! A heretical path!" Primordial Lord of Heaven snorted coldly, his face dark. He retracted the Pangu Banner, clearly enraged.

Lord of the Heavens sheathed his sword and stood, gazing in the direction they had fled. A flicker of surprise and curiosity, barely noticeable, passed through his eyes.

Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces were ashen. The phantom of the Myriad Stars Array slowly receded. The prey in their grasp had flown away, and they had made a bitter enemy for nothing. Rage burned in their hearts.

The other great beings also came to their senses, exchanging glances, all seeing the shock and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

No one had expected that, in the end, the Western Teachings—relying on Ming Xin's sudden eruption and an unheard-of, bizarre divine ability—would snatch the prize from the tiger's mouth and become the biggest winner!

Chaos returned to its boiling state, but the focus of contention now remained only the Chaos Green Lotus, which no one could easily take.

As for the topics of "Red Dust," "Reincarnation," and Ming Xin's strange divine ability, they would surely shake the entire upper echelons of the Primordial World once these great beings returned.
