Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Slaughter Heaven, Slaughter Earth, Slaughter All Beings Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Slaughter Heaven, Slaughter Earth, Slaughter All Beings Within the mystical realm of Xuan Ming, the task was to reconstruct Reincarnation in response to the great calamity; otherwise, all efforts might end up fruitless like drawing cakes on paper. Saints, with their uncanny ability to sense events before they arise, naturally managed everything meticulously to confidently face and overcome this predicament.

Di Jiang, holding the Reincarnation Brush, started to depict Reincarnation by the edge of the Reincarnation Pool.

With a flick of his finger, Xuan Ming instantly summoned a six-colored great disk, which was the nascent form of the Reincarnation Disk.

Di Jiang, using the Reincarnation Brush, began to carve meticulously, stroke by stroke, creating spectacularly as each motion brought forth the miraculous sight of otherworldly blossoms blooming in the void—the six-colored disk becoming increasingly distinct.

Xuan Ming, standing aside, assisted with his spells, continuously casting them into this six-colored Reincarnation Disk, while Di Jiang kept drawing with the Reincarnation Brush, lightning stirring in the void and myriad golden lights radiating outward, drawing wandering souls and stray ghosts into the disk, then into the cycle of reincarnation itself.

“Suppress!” Xuan Ming commanded softly, his voice booming like thunder.

Thumbing his fingertip against his index, and pressing downwards, the six-colored disk immediately began spinning rapidly, Di Jiang’s movements also becoming swifter, continuously sketching mysterious symbols that fell into the disk. In a moment, large characters appeared on the six-colored disk, marking the Animal Path, Human Path, Heavenly Path…

Dividing Reincarnation into six paths, Xuan Ming pinched a spell with his left hand, raised it towards the sky and cast it into the six-colored disk, and then Di Jiang also tossed the Reincarnation Brush up to stabilize it above.

“Hum! Boom!”

With a series of loud rumbles, the area within thousands of miles trembled intensely, the beasts of the field outright perishing from fright, their souls whisked into this cycle of Reincarnation.

Xuan Ming pointed to the Reincarnation Pool, and the Reincarnation Disk slowly descended, spinning faster and faster, until eventually, the six colors fused into one indistinguishable hue.

“Plop!”

The Reincarnation Disk plunged into the Reincarnation Pool, splashing water about, as the Reincarnation Brush drew a symbolic seal overhead to press down above it.

Xuan Ming clapped his hands and exclaimed joyously, “It is done!”

Di Jiang nodded slightly, smiling, “Who would have thought that using the power of a Saint to construct Reincarnation would be so simple? Back in the day, it took twelve of us in a grand formation, enduring untold hardships to achieve this!”

Xuan Ming nodded, “That is natural, for Saints control the Heavenly Dao Laws, and Reincarnation falls under these laws. Utilizing the Heavenly Dao Laws to create Reincarnation certainly makes the process much more efficient.”

Di Jiang asked, “You mentioned a great calamity, what calamity might that be?”

Xuan Ming shook his head, preferring to remain silent.

If he were to divulge this, the eleven Ancestral Witches might seek to trouble Wukong, perhaps even oppress him prematurely, which would not be ideal.

Xuan Ming simply stated, “The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, otherwise it would be less than perfect.”

Di Jiang, sensing Xuan Ming’s evasiveness, did not inquire further but said, “Now that Reincarnation is restored, are you not worried others might plot against you again?”

Xuan Ming laughed, “I shall enter Reincarnation to preserve a trace of my True Spirit, which will be useful in facing the calamity. Now that I’ve comprehended all fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao, I fear no one’s schemes! Brother, rest assured, my Primordial Dao Fruit is nearing Perfection, and I fear no one anymore.”

Xuan Ming, who was once cautious because she was a newly arisen Saint and her Primordial Dao Fruit was not yet solidly perfect, naturally feared others using this closely tied Reincarnation to plot against her. However, in the past half year, observing Wukong’s dreams and gaining insights herself, she had perfected her Primordial Dao Fruit and reached the Great Perfection realm of a Heavenly Dao Saint, thus she feared no one anymore.

Di Jiang responded, “I trust in your actions.”

Xuan Ming nodded, said no more, and entered into the Reincarnation Pool.

Di Jiang stood by the Reincarnation Pool for a long time, eventually sighing, “Alas, I should never have allowed that monkey into this Reincarnation Pool! This sister has likely been deeply enchanted, where emotionless consciousness gains deep, profound emotions.”

Having spoken, he did not linger and promptly departed.

As for Xuan Ming, having entered the Reincarnation Pool, she briefly became absent-minded, undergoing a lifetime’s cycle of Reincarnation before finally finding her true self.

This Reincarnation was exceedingly bizarre, even Saints were reluctant to enter casually for fear of losing their true self, from which they might never escape. But for Xuan Ming, having entered Reincarnation twice with Wukong, it was not as perilous. After undergoing a lifetime and finding back her true self, she then began to arrange for facing her own calamity.

She was not in a hurry; she first visited Spiritual Mount, West Lake, and Prajna Temple… These places she visited were all once where she had encountered Wukong.

“I cannot die, and you cannot die either,” Xuan Ming said, looking at the scenery before her, a resolute will shining in her eyes.

With a flick of her fingers, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Towards the Origin, she sent strands of True Spirit shooting out from her fingertips.

These True Spirits transformed into six women, identical to her, and then she pointed to the void. The void instantly split open, revealing the six-colored Reincarnation Disk, into which the six Xuan Ming-like women jumped, each entering one of the colors.

“With this, there exists a glimmer of hope, I hope Wukong, that you can seize it,” Xuan Ming said with neither joy nor sorrow, a hint of sad yet unharmed expression showing at the corner of her eyes as she gently stroked a willow beside her.

She walked slowly within this Reincarnation World, not using any spells, merely walking on foot.

It took her a lifetime to traverse this world, and only then did Xuan Ming summon the Reincarnation Disk and jumped into it to leave the Reincarnation World.

“The Nether River Patriarch is about to make a move, and I don’t know whether Wukong can be his match,” Xuan Ming felt uneasy in her heart.

The Nether River Patriarch’s methods are extraordinary; his 480 million Blood God Child avatars are immensely powerful, even Tathagata has only met with losses against him.

Now the forces of Heaven and Earth are in utter chaos, an excellent opportunity for those who wish to fish in troubled waters!

The Three Pure Ones have let go of their concerns for the Heavenly Court, having rebuilt the Deification Platform. On the surface, it seems they are trying to restore the Heavenly Court, but in reality, they only aim to preserve the forces necessary to counter the Immeasurable Calamity. However, this is not something the common man may know. The Jade Emperor thinks that the Three Pure Ones might want to let the Heavenly Court collapse and then rebuild a new one, so he has taken action. It seems the Three Pure Ones are indeed not to be underestimated; they have taken advantage of the Deification Platform to plot their strategies, the three Saints of the Buddhist Sect are still a step behind compared to them, no wonder they keep losing.

Now, the Eastern Lands’ Great Tang has launched an attack on the Western Direction’s Tianzhu, having conquered a part of Tianzhu Country’s territory already. But they are hindered by the help from Heavenly Court and the Wheel-Turning Sage King Seal specifically forged by the Buddhist Sect, and currently, a fierce battle is being fought within Dragon Tree City. This Dragon Tree City was established in the name of Bodhisattva Dragon Tree, but this Bodhisattva was burned alive by a Multicolored Undying Phoenix and had already ascended to the Deification Platform.

At this moment, the one presiding over Dragon Tree City is the Immeasurable Light Buddha, a Buddha of Sect Founder level, as formidable as Medicine Buddha. Yet, Heaven-Defying Taoist has been very cunning, consistently avoiding battle; being a Daluo Golden Immortal, how could he possibly be the match for Immeasurable Light Buddha?

Immeasurable Light, Immeasurable Life! These two Buddhas’ resounding prestige is known to all.

Today, the demon tribe, having shown all their foundations, lacks a Sect Founder to lead them, only left with a handful of Daluo Golden Immortals. However, fortunately, there is a Myriad Immortal Array on Water Curtain Cave, where all Daluo Golden Immortals have taken command. Even when the Buddhist Sect deployed Glazed Light King Buddha and Birupaksa Bodhisattva, they couldn’t make them budge in the slightest.

“It’s time to make a move, having lain dormant for eighty thousand years, the world has forgotten about my Asura Blood Sea, has forgotten about me, the Nether River Patriarch!” the Nether River Patriarch exclaimed in a dark red robe, his long white hair and crimson eyebrows, and matching red eyes making him look fiercely murderous.

“Slay heaven, slay earth, slay all beings,” Ksitigarbha King murmured, “Is the Nether River Patriarch planning to slaughter all beings of heaven and earth and then become enlightened through that?”

Nether River laughed and said, “Brother Ksitigarbha, I kill the beings of heaven and earth to become enlightened, and then your salvation of these beings is also a path to enlightenment, isn’t it? This is killing two birds with one stone! I will go out and kill, and you stay here to manage this place and save the souls. Together, we’ll achieve sainthood!”

Ever since Tathagata plotted against Ksitigarbha King and failed, resulting in Ksitigarbha King defecting to Nether River Patriarch, their relationship had grown even closer, even reaching an unspoken agreement to achieve sainthood together! Nether River aims to kill all under heaven, and Ksitigarbha wishes for a vacant Hell; the best method thus would be, to slaughter all under heaven, and then he could save all under heaven! In that way, with no one left in the mortal world, who would enter Hell?

Ksitigarbha King said, “You should be cautious; withdraw immediately if anything goes wrong. The imminence of the Calamity is only seventy centuries away, then it would also be a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and seek enlightenment.”

Nether River laughed, “Haha, hahaha! Brother Ksitigarbha, rest assured, in this journey, I shall slaughter the common folk and achieve my path of slaughter!”

After saying this, disciples like self-Ease Heaven disciples, Desire Heaven, Great Brahma Heaven, Shiva, Indra, Vishnu, Lutuoluo, Ghost Mother, and others were all eager to follow. They practiced the cultivation techniques created by Nether River Patriarch, which required killing others to forge Blood God Child avatars, thereby improving their cultivation and spiritual progression. With Nether River Patriarch setting out to kill, they naturally followed to commence a great slaughter across all directions and forge Blood God Child avatars.

Ksitigarbha King folded his hands and said, “Merciful Buddha! May it be good, may it be good.”

He then began to recite scriptures.

Nether River, irritated by his chanting, directly activated the Blood River Grand Formation, left the Asura Blood Sea, with all his disciples following him, heading towards the lands of Eastern Divine Region.

The population in Eastern Divine Region was incredibly dense; if one must kill, this was the best place to start!

Slay heaven, slay earth, slay all beings!
