Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 221: The end of the cycle, the return of the emperor, the battle between the sorcerer and the lich
As Hou Tu's true body merged into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and her aura became apparent, at this moment, countless powerful men in the prehistoric world were shocked.

Not to mention the innate gods who were watching the battle and the liches who were in the middle of the battle, even many ancient sacred beings who had long since disappeared from the world were like this!

The reason for this is that the aura emanating from Hou Tu's body at this moment is too vast. The gods of the ancient times had just witnessed Taiyi's enlightenment not long ago, and there were also people among the ancient gods who witnessed the Three Emperors in their prime.

But whether it is Taiyi or the Three Emperors, although they were invincible in their last moments, they are not like Houtu at the moment, who actually has a sense of perfection and transcendence!

This... could it be possible that he really became a saint? !
On the top of Mount Kunlun, Nuwa asked the same question, and then looked at Qi Yu beside her, wanting to seek answers from the unfathomable Emperor Xishen.

In Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi and Lingbao, the two Heavenly Lords, also had similar doubts and looked at Daode Tianzun, obviously unable to define Houtu's current state.

Then, the two groups heard the same answer.

"Not yet, just getting close."

Such an understated answer naturally shocked the person who asked the question, and he immediately fell speechless.

However, outside Kunlun, Di Jun and Di Jiang, who were fighting each other, did not have such vision. For a moment, both sides almost made misjudgments. Di Jun's face was gloomy, while Di Jiang's face suddenly became ecstatic.

"Well, it seems that God wants to destroy your demon clan today. I want to see if your broken formation can withstand the might of the saint!"

"kill!!"

However, the changing situation in the outside world cannot affect Hou Tu at this moment. Right now, the six paths of reincarnation have been opened up, but the merits of the Heavenly Dao have not yet been truly implemented - this is simply because Hou Tu's destiny is not limited to reincarnation. In addition, she is also the master of the underworld designated by heaven. It is time to open up a complete underworld in the earth today and completely perfect the cycle of life and death in the three realms!

At this moment, Hou Tu, who was infinitely close to a saint under the blessing of reincarnation, naturally realized her destiny at the first moment and also knew what the real underworld was.

Therefore, after just a moment's hesitation, she chose to speak.

"The way of heaven is orderly, separating the clear from the turbid. The clear rises to become heaven, the yang of the universe; the turbid sinks to become earth, the yin of the universe."

"Now, in the heaven, there is the Heavenly Court, which dominates the vast mountains and rivers. The earth belongs to the side of the most yin in the universe. Similarly, the underworld should be built to improve the order of the vast underworld and maintain the destiny of the great way, so that yin and yang can be integrated and the clear and turbid can be distinguished."

"The underworld governs all matters of reincarnation. Past and future lives should be determined by merits and sins, and good and evil should be distinguished by the way of reincarnation. Now I have established eighteen levels of hell to punish evil spirits. All people in the world should take this as a warning!"

"Eighteen levels of hell, the first level, the tongue-pulling hell; the second level, the scissors hell; the third level, the iron tree hell; the fourth level, the evil mirror hell; the fifth level, the steamer hell; the sixth level, the copper pillar hell; the seventh level, the knife mountain hell; the eighth level, the iceberg hell; the ninth level, the oil pot hell; the tenth level, the cattle pit hell; the eleventh level, the stone pressure hell; the twelfth level, the mortar hell; the thirteenth level, the blood pool hell; the fourteenth level, the wrongful death hell; the fifteenth level, the crucifixion hell; the sixteenth level, the volcano hell; the seventeenth level, the stone mill hell; the eighteenth level, the knife and saw hell!"

"Eighteen levels of hell, get out——"

As the mysterious light rolled, the sound of ghosts crying and gods howling could be heard in the void. Then, the ground instantly began to extend downwards, and eighteen layers of the world evolved under the earth. Among them, countless black torture instruments were formed in the breeding of boundless bloody and evil energy, which made people shudder!

At the same time, Hou Tu moved again, and the mysterious light in her hand turned into several other innate magical instruments, including the Netherworld Yinshan Mountain, the Ghost Gate, the Wangxiangtai, the Naihe Bridge, etc., which were suppressed in various places in the underworld to perfect the function of reincarnation.

At this point, the underworld was successfully established, and Hou Tu's destiny was also determined. Immediately, she threw away the last trace of obsession in her heart, and began to pour all her essence into the reincarnation, in order to complete the last step of opening up the reincarnation, and also to take a real step forward and move towards the realm of Hunyuan.

Wisps of the light of the avenue scattered and turned into specks of white light that merged with the six paths of reincarnation. It can be said that this was Hou Tu's most powerful moment, but also her weakest moment.

And at this critical moment, suddenly, another strange change occurred in the depths of the underworld!

Deep in the earth, an invisible divine power seemed to be activated at this moment, flashing across the cycle of reincarnation. At the same time, countless evil spirits briefly broke free from the shackles of reincarnation, turning into a black ocean-like torrent, rushing towards Houtu who was merging with the foundation of reincarnation!

Of course, these are not the most important things. What is truly fatal is that a black axe light appeared at some point after countless evil spirits.

boom--

This axe light was so powerful that it was comparable to a full-strength axe strike from the complete Dutian Shensha formation formed by the twelve ancestor witches, and even more powerful!
Seeing this, many innate gods couldn't help but change color. In the earth-shaking black axe light, they felt the terrifying power that was enough to destroy their body and soul in an instant. Even with just a glance, their spiritual perception of the Great Dao was almost chopped into pieces!
“What the hell is this!!”

Countless strong men exclaimed and watched such a terrifying axe light slashing towards Hou Tu. At this critical moment, suddenly, a person in the depths of the underworld moved.

"The dark mausoleum is dark, hibernating insects hide, the grass and trees fall, and the winter frost falls!"

"Suppression—"

In an instant, time and space were disordered, the four seasons overlapped, and amidst the endless blooming of mysterious light, this piece of world seemed to have reached the end of the world in advance. The innate power of freezing turned into flying snow all over the sky, flying around like catkins, and all things returned to silence.

Even the pitch-black axe light could not escape the cover of "Xuanming" at this moment. It was covered by the power of Guixu and was about to perish completely!

It was actually Emperor Xuanming who took action and blocked it!
The sudden help shocked countless powerful people in the prehistoric world. Even Nuwa widened her eyes at this moment, looking at the scene in the earth in disbelief. Then, she turned back in shock and looked at Qi Yu beside her, with a little more uncertainty in her eyes.

"That... is a fellow Taoist, but it seems to be true or false?"

"It's the evil corpse of this poor Taoist."

Qi Yu spoke. There was nothing to hide, but these words made Nuwa even more shocked, and there was a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Evil corpse? How is that possible!"

You know, as early as when Fuxi went up Kunlun Mountain alone and accidentally became the Emperor of Xuanmen, Sanqing and Qi Yu took the initiative to pass on the secret method of beheading the three corpses to the Fengqishan brother and sister. Therefore, Nuwa knew what the three corpses were - not only did she know, she had beheaded corpses herself and even had her own opinions on this method. Yes, the Three Corpses Method is extraordinary, and the three corpse gods beheaded can form a certain combat power and can serve as a strong helper, but which family's three corpses can be on par with the original or even stronger than the original?

This makes no sense at all!

In response, Qi Yu just smiled faintly.

"The Three Corpses Technique was created by me. The Three Corpses I killed myself are naturally more mysterious than those of ordinary people. Isn't this just as it should be?"

As he said this, Qi Yu looked at Nuwa, but saw that the latter was full of disbelief. He could only turn around with a bitter smile and look into the depths of the underworld again.

At this moment, after Emperor Xuanming blocked a fatal blow for Houtu, the latter successfully condensed into a Dao embryo in the depths of reincarnation. Before her last wisp of consciousness was about to fall into complete sleep, she finally transmitted a message to Emperor Xuanming at the last moment.

"Thank you, Daoist Fellow Xuanming, for your help. I will keep my promise. I also hope that Daoist Fellow will not let me down and complete the last step of this transaction."

"nature."

Emperor Xuanming spoke softly, then stretched out his hand and took two strange halos that were flashing with the light of the great way from the void. After doing all this, he stood where he was and no longer took action, just quietly watching the rewards for this opening up of reincarnation fall - that was the boundless Xuanhuang merit, which finally arrived at this moment and fell into the underworld.

Rumbling--

In an instant, a golden light began to appear above the long river of luck. An incomparable vision emerged from the sky. On the sky, a vast expanse of mysterious and yellow merits poured down like a golden ocean at this moment, it was simply boundless!
The incomparably vast light of Xuanhuang merit illuminated the underworld. Then, the endless merit was divided into several parts in the sky. Among them, nearly ten percent of the Xuanhuang merit turned into a golden light and fell into the six realms of reincarnation, helping the place of reincarnation to completely stabilize the order and eliminate the evil atmosphere.

Another 15% or so of the power of merit dispersed towards the four directions of the underworld, falling into the hands of many powerful beings from the original earth realm, especially those from the Earth Emperor Palace and the Black Water Palace. A small portion also entered the bodies of some ghosts and gods that were originally in the earth realm. These could be considered compensations made by Heaven.

About 15% of the Xuanhuang merit fell into the hands of Emperor Xuanming. Relying on the mysterious connection between the Three Corpses and the original body, this heavenly merit belonged to Qi Yu. It was mainly a reward for Qi Yu's travels in the sea of ​​blood with Houtu for the past ten years, and for resisting the world-destroying axe light not long ago.

Finally, the remaining 60% merged with the reincarnation fetus transformed by Houtu, making the latter's aura even stronger - what a pity, a full 20% of them dissipated into thin air after coming into contact with Houtu. Presumably, this was part of the "price" Houtu paid for rewriting the way of hell.

Seeing this, Qi Yu on Kunlun shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.

In his opinion, Hou Tu is now at a critical moment. Any difference of one centimeter may change the result of her Tao when she finally breaks out of the cocoon, not to mention the 20% merit of the Heavenly Dao that opens up the reincarnation, which may even be directly related to whether Hou Tu can finally become a saint!

Obviously, at this moment, Qi Yu was no longer optimistic about Hou Tu, and believed that her hope of achieving enlightenment was slim. Even if she succeeded in achieving enlightenment of Hunyuan, the restrictions she would face would probably be extremely great, and she might not even be able to leave the land of reincarnation in her true body!

But what does this have to do with him?

In the end, Qi Yu just sighed, and then he started to do his business. The first thing was to remind Nuwa to accept his spoils.

"Your Majesty, you can make your move now. I congratulate you on achieving your long-cherished wish. The day when you will become the Emperor of the Earth is not far away!"

"Your Highness, you can feel free to take action. The Earth Palace is part of the reward I received for helping Taoist Hou Tu. There won't be any hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Nuwa glanced at Qi Yu with some resentment, and finally understood the meaning of the latter's words. She had been fighting with Hou Tu, and she had obviously gained the upper hand, but she didn't expect that in the end she was still one step behind and lost the last step. Now, even though she has seized the orthodoxy of the Emperor of Earth, it is more like picking up junk that others don't want. It is difficult to explain this feeling to outsiders!

"Come--"

Although she felt uncomfortable, Nuwa still took action at this moment. She stretched out five slender jade fingers and reached deep into the underworld, pointing directly to the original location of the Imperial Palace.

At the same time, behind Nuwa, there were the treasures of the Earth Emperor Palace, and the map of mountains, rivers, and the country unfolded in an instant.

As the divine map unfolded, Nuwa no longer held back, and the divine light around her surged, attracting the luck of the Emperor of Earth in all directions, manifesting countless mountains and rivers to demonstrate the power of the Emperor of Earth's Avenue.

During this process, he also smelted out an illusory Earth Emperor Dao Fruit. In the Dao Fruit flowed the extremely rich power of the origin of the primeval earth. As it beat slightly, it evolved into countless primeval spiritual orifices, corresponding to the many chaotic ancestral orifices that really existed on the primeval earth. So far, the trinity finally and completely activated the high-hanging ownerless Earth Emperor position, allowing it to slowly move towards Kunlun!

During this process, no one from the Earth Emperor Palace took action, and Hou Tu was sleeping. Everything went extremely smoothly, except for the group of ancestor witches who were unaware of the transaction between Hou Tu and Qi Yu, who were extremely furious!

"How dare you! How dare you take advantage of this opportunity to plot against the Emperor of Earth! Don't you know the power of the saints? You will definitely be punished!"

After all, the deterrent power of the Three Pure Ones and Qi Yu was too strong, and the Ancestral Witch did not dare to speak too toughly - especially after Emperor Xuanming, who was suspected to be the incarnation of Qi Yu, blocked and shattered the world-destroying axe light left by Pan Man, many masters in the prehistoric world were even more reluctant to provoke Qi Yu, this evil star!

Qi Yu was too lazy to even respond to this, and Nuwa ignored it and simply picked up the Earth Emperor Fruit and brought it back to Kunlun.

At this point, everyone in the Witch Clan finally woke up from their anger and no longer cared about anything else. They concentrated on fighting the demon tribe that was about to form a large Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation - even without the participation of the "saint" Hou Tu, they would definitely have to decide the winner today!
Finally, after a bloody battle, the Great Zhoutian Star Fighting Array was formed. Even though it was not as powerful as before, it could still cover the heavens. At this moment, Di Jun was in it, presiding over the endless power of the stars, staring at the powerful witches with cold eyes.

"It seems that even a saint knows that the rise of our demon race is destiny. Even at the Primordial Realm, we dare not go against destiny!"

"Then today, please all of you die. It is just right for you to return to reincarnation. It can also be regarded as my contribution to the reincarnation of the saints--"

"The Great Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation, fall!"

After all, I overslept and was too tired, but the national exam is finally over, congratulations to me!
