Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 489 - 488: He Must Not Break Through—The Demon Ancestor Has Taken Action [Part 1]

The suddenly appearing shroud stood against the wind, as if it were a human skin.

The bloodstains, which had turned dark due to their age, unexpectedly exploded with a crimson blood glow at this moment.

It almost transformed that patch of void into a sea of blood.

Buzz!

The invincible Nether Lord Banner emitted a strange buzz at this moment.

The endless black aura, rushing towards the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and others, seemed to have seen something terrifying, abruptly halting its surging momentum, hesitating in place.

"What is... happening?"

The unexpected change caught everyone off guard, leaving those who thought they were doomed in a daze.

"What is this thing, and why does it make the Extreme Sacred Weapon feel apprehensive?"

The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and Long-armed Ape stared in astonishment, their eyes wide, fixated on the shroud standing before everyone, baffled for a moment.

This shroud did not possess the overwhelming pressure of an Extreme Sacred Weapon.

Yet the Nether Lord Banner showed signs of fear.

It’s bewildering.

Meanwhile, Bai Suzhen and Cyan Snake exchanged glances, exclaiming, "It’s the shroud Lin Heng had from his early days in the human world!"

They had seen this item before.

Moreover, they remembered Lin Heng had two such shrouds.

One was found inside the Black Mountain Demon’s Undying Stone Heart.

The other, it was said, was obtained in Lin Heng’s early days while seizing private magical artifacts from a Demon City God.

The sisters remembered.

Lin Heng had especially consulted many Daoist predecessors on this matter, including them, but alas, none could identify it.

Later, they learned from Senior Jigong that the shroud wrapping the Black Mountain Demon’s Undying Stone Heart belonged to Lord of Mount Tai among the Ten Hall Yama in the Underworld!

But unfortunately, Senior Jigong couldn’t identify the origin of the one initially obtained from the Demon City God.

"The Daoist Lord mentioned that before his ascension, the shroud belonging to Lord of Mount Tai was given to the Black Rakshasa."

"So, this is the one with an unknown identity."

"I truly didn’t expect it to be able to intimidate the Extreme Sacred Weapon. What is its origin?"

Bai Suzhen and Cyan Snake exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and doubt deep within.

As for Diting and Six-Eared Macaque, there was no need to mention them for now.

"What’s going on?"

"Why doesn’t the Nether Lord Banner dare to attack?"

They couldn’t comprehend the scene before their eyes.

The sight of the blood-soaked shroud surging up a sea of blood was indeed extraordinary.

Yet, the overwhelming presence of the Extreme Sacred Weapon within the Nether Lord Banner was enough to shake an Immortal Realm.

Anyone could see that the Nether Lord Banner was of a higher grade.

Yet, it feared and instinctively halted its attack.

It was truly beyond everyone’s expectations.

Only the Ksitigarbha seemed to grasp something after a brief delay, muttering incessantly, "How could this thing be with him?"

"Where did he get it?"

"How is this possible?"

The Ksitigarbha’s face was filled with incredulity and confusion, unable to understand how someone who ascended only a few years ago could possess such an item.

"Bodhisattva, what is the origin of that shroud?" Diting couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.

"Anything that makes the Nether Lord Banner instinctively fear must be something that has hurt it greatly," said the Ksitigarbha, with an extremely gloomy expression.

"Something that hurt the Nether Lord Banner greatly?" Diting furrowed his brows, puzzled, "It’s rumored the Nether Lord Banner was almost torn apart by Lady Houtu when Saint Taichu fell back in the day, other than that, wait... Houtu... Lady Houtu?"

Diting suddenly realized, staring blankly at that shroud.

"Is this... the shroud of Lady Houtu when she incarnated into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

He was stunned, unable to believe it.

Taichu indeed was a much older Netherworld Saint.

But tracing through all the Netherworld Saints of the past, the most renowned remains Lady Houtu.

Because her transformation into the Six Paths gave rise to the Underworld.

And Lady Houtu is not only the one who personally established the order of the Underworld.

Rumor has it.

Saint Taichu was actually slain by Lady Houtu!

The countless Primordial Resentful Ghosts trapped within the Extreme Sacred Weapon, the Nether Lord Banner, were also cleared by Lady Houtu.

Even the Nether Lord Banner was nearly destroyed by her.

Of course, these tales only exist in ancient rumors, and few remain knowledgeable.

Thus, in later times.

Only Lady Houtu is known, whose merit in transforming into reincarnation is immeasurable.

Yet, her extremely terrifying iron-blooded methods early on are unknown!

"No wonder the Nether Lord Banner fears this shroud..."

"It possesses Lady Houtu’s aura. The Nether Lord Banner, which was almost torn to pieces by Lady Houtu, is bound to feel instinctive fear..."

"Moreover, after Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she became the true supreme of the Netherworld."

"Even if the Nether Lord Banner doesn’t fear, the countless souls within the banner dare not act recklessly before her."

"Houtu’s aura can be said to subdue all Netherworld Ghosts!"

Diting’s face was pale, never imagining he would see the shroud of Houtu’s true form one day.

"Bodhisattva, time is running out..."

Meanwhile, Six-Eared Macaque was more focused on Lin Heng’s movements.

He could feel a barrier about to break.

This caused Six-Eared Macaque intense inner anxiety.

The Ksitigarbha, watching the Nether Lord Banner being intimidated by the shroud, also felt a sense of helplessness. With two Quasi-Saint guardians protecting the opponent, unable to use the Extreme Sacred Weapon, the Ksitigarbha believed it impossible to break through their barriers for the moment.

Finally, he took a deep breath and shouted toward the sky, "Demon Ancestor, this person’s entry into the Quasi-Saint realm might also pose a threat to you."

"Are you truly going to remain indifferent?"

After this remark.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and Long-armed Ape both turned pale, looking toward the sky.

There, a slightly mocking voice echoed.

"Ksitigarbha, wielding the Extreme Sacred Weapon yet needs assistance from others, aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your reputation if this spreads?"

The tall figure manifested, adorned in dragon robe and phoenix feather, surrounded by various fierce beasts and phenomena.

The Demon Ancestor appeared.

"Houtu’s item inherently suppresses, thus this humble monk is indeed helpless."

"So, it’s your Eastern Emperor Bell that should be used."

The Ksitigarbha spoke with utter calmness, unfazed by the opponent’s mockery.

And just as the words fell.

Inside Lin Heng’s body, a thunderous roar began to emerge.

Visible to the naked eye, the Quasi-Saint aura had already formed outside his body.

Breakthrough.

Was imminent.

"Demon Ancestor, if you don’t act now, it will indeed be too late." The Ksitigarbha calmly reminded.

Upon hearing these words, the Demon Ancestor’s expression sank as he also realized that the Immortal Court Daoist Lord was a formidable adversary capable of opposing Quasi-Saint power with Ancestral Immortal Realm prowess.

Just as the Ksitigarbha mentioned, once such a person steps into the Quasi-Saint realm.

He will become a massive threat to all sides.

Understanding the urgency, the Demon Ancestor stopped mocking Ksitigarbha and summoned the Donghuang Bell with a wave of his hand.
