Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1569 726: Executing the Daluo Golden Immortal

Ding Guang Buddha felt a sinking in his heart: "Feng Huixue is dead, unable to break Emperor Earth's Daoist Field!"

Although Feng Huixue was merely a Golden Immortal, her strength was irrelevant to this battle, yet she was the key to victory.

She had followed Emperor Earth for many years, knowing all about the Thick Virtue and Bright Heaven Palace, understanding how to release the Great Demon Skeleton in the Demon Suppression Well to destroy Emperor Earth's Daoist Field.

Once the Daoist Field was broken, Emperor Earth's strength would greatly diminish and certainly wouldn't be their match.

However now, Feng Huixue has died under the Reincarnation Divine Power!

"Everyone, we can only fight to the death!" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shouted.

Before she finished speaking, the Five Buddha Crown on her head exploded, transforming into five Great Buddhas, seated in the void behind her, namely Central Vairocana Buddha, Eastern Akshobhya Buddha, Southern Treasure Buddha, Western Amitabha Buddha, and Northern Non-empty Achievement Buddha.

All five Buddhas, though not corporeal, were considered Buddha himself, but merely shadows.

The blessing of the Five Buddhas boosted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mana incredibly, and with a shout, behind her appeared one by one the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

From the Six Paths of Reincarnation, individual incarnations emerged, namely Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha, Treasure Pearl Ksitigarbha, Treasure Seal Ksitigarbha, Earth-Holding Ksitigarbha, Sarvanivarana-Viskambhin, and Sunlight Ksitigarbha, each possessing a different Great Dao like Houtu.

Her methods were somewhat lacking compared to Emperor Earth, who used Xuanhuang as the base, reincarnation as the tool, and after acquiring Chen Shi's Nine Dao Talisman teachings, further perfected the Divine.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva used the Immortal Dao to analyze reincarnation, supplementing with Divine Dao, relying on the Incense Fire Qi of all living beings, attempting to break through into the Third Layer Dao Realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Her inability to walk the path of Immortal Dao led her to the Divine Dao, falling short compared to Emperor Earth.

Yet over the years she's delved into Hell, her Daoist Practice is extraordinary especially with the gathering of incense, her Divine Power surging heavily, possessing countless clones in Hell.

This time she mobilized the six incarnations, as well as numerous clones within Hell, planning to put everything on the line against Emperor Earth!

"You all truly dare to underestimate Heaven and Earth."

Emperor Earth chuckled lightly, "You truly think this is merely your encirclement? You're all mistaken—it is war!"

In the underworld of Huaguang World, within the Eighteen Layers of Hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's clone sat in the Moon Body Treasure Hall, which guarded the location where the Seventeenth Layer of Hell led to the Eighteenth, at Ghost Gate.

The Bodhisattva clone pointed with a finger, the Nine Ringed Staff flew up, shattering Ghost Gate, allowing Evil Ghosts entering the Eighteenth Layer to avoid Yama's torment, heading straight for the Moon Body Treasure Hall.

Meanwhile, she projected Treasure Bead above, shining brilliance around, washing away the Evil Ghosts' sins, allowing them to convert.

The Evil Ghosts detained in the Eighteen Layers of Hell had committed unforgivable sins in life, deserving eternal suffering in Hell, but through her rescue, converting them to Buddhism, they need suffer no more.

These Evil Ghosts honored the Bodhisattva, the Incense Fire Qi continually flowing in, enhancing the Bodhisattva's mana.

After she vowed to assume control of Hell, over the years, her followers increased, converting Evil Ghosts in the underworld as her Ghost God private army, even the Mortal World had numerous converts, establishing temples and molding Golden Bodies, accumulating incense.

In many worlds, her mana cultivation gradually rivaled Houtu Lady who guarded those worlds' reincarnations, even sometimes surpassing.

Huaguang World's Bodhisattva clone knew the main body waged a war above Xuanhuang Sea, thus channeling own mana into the void, merging with the main body.

This is a crucial battle; if successful, the underworld becomes her Daoist Field, no longer confined to the Eighteenth Layer of Hell.

As she mused, the Nine Ringed Staff pressing against Ghost Gate emitted a piercing clang, being bent backward, spinning away!

The Bodhisattva clone was startled, soaring to catch the staff mid-air, gently landing, shouting: "Which holy deity dares damage my Magical Treasure?"

This staff was not the Nine Ringed Staff's main body but a clone's creation, similar in form to the main body's Nine Ringed Staff but greatly reduced in power. Nevertheless, this staff was condensed of Incense Fire Qi, tempered by Extraordinary Power, essentially a remarkable treasure, extremely potent, and even a Merit Treasure.

Now bent by someone, either the visitor suffered loss of Yin Virtue or the visitor's merits exceeded the Nine Ringed Staff's.

As she finished speaking, a gentle laugh was heard: "My palace is that of the Ancestor of Earth Gods, Earth Mother, ruling all lands and mountains in the Mortal World and all Ghost Gods, together with reincarnation and childbirth in the underworld. You dare to kill me, thinking it a game between Immortal Gods?"

The Bodhisattva clone focused, seeing Houtu Lady of Huaguang World dressed in purple, wearing a phoenix crown, smiling, eyes emitting Evil Qi, stepping into Ghost Gate.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clone relaxed momentarily: "She comes alone, while I've stationed innumerable Ghost Gods in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, transforming from Evil Ghosts. Moreover, her mana might not surpass mine. Houtu Lady is indeed bewildered, coming to die!"

With a shout, behind the Moon Body Treasure Hall, countless menacing Ghost Gods surged forth, flaunting their Magical Treasures, brimming with ferocity.

Many Ghost Gods flew into the sky, terrifyingly hideous.

Some possessed White Bone Body, occupying skeletons as physical bodies, others had Asura Body, Ghost Monster Body, and their Magical Treasures were often skulls, White Bone Staffs, White Bone Whips, Dragon Bone Spears, and the like.

Houtu Lady ignored them, stepping out of Ghost Gate, walking over calmly, saying, "If it were before, my palace would have had no opportunity to destroy you. After all, the Heavenly Court and Western Heaven shared a good relationship; back when the Heavenly Court faced monkey chaos, your Western Heaven Buddha provided aid."
