Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint

Chapter 96 Shameless, a Shocking Arrival

Behind him appeared a terrifying golden statue, sixteen feet tall.

The golden body was entirely dark gold, and its boundless merit and spiritual light illuminated the entire netherworld, standing atop the head of the Daoist Zhunti within a cloud of auspicious light.

The twenty-four faces each had a different expression, with evil, coldness, indifference, condescension, and madness coexisting.

Each of the eighteen giant arms holds a mysterious treasure, including the Seven Treasures Tree, the Blessed Vajra, the Golden Bow, the Silver Halberd, the Fish Intestine Sword, the Precious File, the Golden Vase, the Necklace, the Umbrella, the Flower String, and so on.

An immense pressure swept across the battlefield, forcing all the Asuras, Styx Daoist, Burning Lamp Daoist, and Northern Darkness Daoist—all of these Great Luo Golden Immortals—to retreat step by step, their faces filled with horror.

All their attacks were easily neutralized, and the entire battlefield fell silent, revealing the stark difference between the Sage and the Great Luo Immortal.

The sage's actions shook heaven and earth, drawing countless eyes to this place.

The Styx Daoist shouted sternly, "Saint Zhunti, why have you come to the Underworld!"

Zhunti Daoist glanced at him but didn't reply. He simply raised his hand and waved the Seven Treasures Tree in his sixteen-foot-tall golden body.

A streak of seven-colored light descended upon the Twelve Heavens, indicating that Daoist Zhunti intended to forcibly take them away.

The twelve witch gods' expressions changed drastically. Facing this most shameless saint they had anticipated, they were also filled with trepidation.

At this moment, Houtu Niangniang made her move, unleashing her true power of the Cycle of Reincarnation.

The entire cycle of reincarnation was trembling, and the boundless power of reincarnation transformed into a black hole that devoured everything, enveloping the sky with its seven-colored, sinister light.

Click click click!

The violent tremors resounded through the void, shocking countless people. The power of the Seven Treasures Tree was blocked, and Samsara revealed its true power. Houtu also unleashed the Samsara Deceptive Path, her status truly extraordinary.

Houtu's cold, stern voice resounded through the void, "Zhunti Daoist, you have crossed the line. Samsara is my domain."

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were enveloped by the power of reincarnation, so Zhunti Daoist's attack could not land for the time being, and Zhunti Daoist's expression also tightened slightly.

He suddenly realized that Houtu's power was no less than that of the sage, which was beyond his expectations.

Houtu is comparable to a sage in the cycle of reincarnation, a fact that few people truly know.

Meanwhile, among the Twelve Heavens, Houtu's avatar looked at the Twelve Witch Gods and said, "Since you are not within the cycle of reincarnation, I can only hold out for a maximum of three breaths."

"Only when you completely integrate the entire underworld and all the heavens into one, because once it is separated, it will cause the collapse of the underworld and the cycle of reincarnation, resulting in endless calamities, will Daoist Zhunti stop."

"Let's get started on the final plan!"

The twelve witch gods sighed inwardly; three thousand years of accumulation could only be used to save their own lives.

Without any hesitation, boundless willpower surged into the Twelve Devas themselves.

The mantra for saving people, which was integrated into the Twelve Devas, rose with a blue-gold light at that moment.

This radiance surged into the ocean of karma beneath the Lesser Netherworld.

It contains one-tenth of the karma of the underworld.

The power of the mantra for saving people was brought to its limit by the combined will of half of the billions of beings over three thousand years.

Countless karmic forces decomposed under the cyan-gold radiance, and the black ocean evaporated wildly, becoming something unknown that merged into the world.

On the third-to-last breath, countless merits descended from the sky, surging wildly into the Twelve Heavens.

The Daoist Zhunti looked astonished. "What's going on? How can there be so much merit?"

In the darkness, celestial maidens scattered flowers, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth; the entire underworld seemed to undergo an unknown transformation.

The twelve heavens surrounding the surface of Samsara began to slowly rotate, enduring the tribulation of lightning while moving clockwise.

The lowermost heavens will be absorbed by a portion of the karma on the surface of the ocean of karma and disappear into the lesser heavens.

The operation of the heavens seemed to activate the cycle of the underworld, causing the entire underworld to tremble, and countless cycles in the netherworld also operated along with the operation of the twelve heavens.

This cyclical rhythm is like breathing, and also like a heartbeat.

The penultimate breath arrives.

Zhunti Daoist's expression changed, and in an instant he seemed to have realized something.

"This is the authority over the cycle of all things in the underworld, which is integrated into these twelve heavens."

"The Twelve Devas are still devouring the ocean of karma; this merit comes from purifying karma."

"Oh no, this Vow Power Divine Path can purify karma so easily. All these merits come from purifying karma."

Without any hesitation, he suddenly increased his power output, and the brilliance of the Seven Treasures Tree instantly reached a new height.

At this moment, Houtu also fully unleashed her power in the Cycle of Deception, unleashing the power accumulated over countless years of reincarnation.

Although this force cannot extend very far, it is enough to block the Seven Treasures Tree, giving the Twelve Heavens time to fully integrate into the Netherworld cycle.

At this moment, the heavenly lightning tribulation had long been suppressed by this terrifying power, and the lightning tribulation could not even fall.

The sage's intervention was almost a premonition of the workings of Heaven. The lightning in the sky suddenly contracted violently, and a giant eye slowly opened.

The eye of Heaven was alarmed, and any action that interferes with the operation of Heaven is considered going against Heaven.

It was now down to the last breath, but the twelve witch gods stubbornly held on to their fate.

Zhunti Daoist felt the gaze falling from the sky, and his spirit was slightly shaken, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

A phantom figure emerged, which turned out to be none other than Hongjun Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, the sages are not in the midst of the calamity, how can you recklessly defy the will of Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, the world seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.

Except for the Great Immortals and Saints, everyone's consciousness stopped.

Hongjun's projection suddenly descended, and Sage Zhunti's expression changed again. "What's going on? How did we alarm Ancestor Hongjun!"

Zhunti Daoist instantly withdrew his golden body, bowed deeply, and said, "Zhunti greets Ancestor Hongjun."

Above the cycle of reincarnation, a phantom figure also appeared. Houtu bowed slightly to Hongjun Daoist, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor Hongjun. Please forgive me for not being able to meet you in your true form."

Hongjun's face remained indifferent; he merely nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon the twelve heavens in operation.

His gaze was deep as he observed the Twelve Devas.

However, by this time, the brilliance of the salvation spell within the Twelve Heavens had long since faded.

The newly absorbed karma lies dormant at the bottom of the cycle of rebirth, where a portion of faith and aspiration gathers, gradually neutralizing the karma. However, the effect is ten times weaker than the power of mantras for saving others.

After completing the transformation of the sea of ​​karma, the twelve sorcerers immediately stopped activating the incantation of salvation. All information about the incantation was deposited in the origin of the twelve heavens, transforming into inconspicuous runes.

He had long prevented anyone from seeing through the truth, and used the method of using a massive amount of vows to transform karma as the core of the two heavens' cleansing of karma, thus concealing the truth.

Even among the Twelve Devas, all information about Houtu, the Lord of Reincarnation, was quietly destroyed.

Even the memories of those believers were erased and blocked; it was all to conceal crucial information.

Hongjun only saw the scene of the power of vows eroding karma, and he did not realize that the incantation to save people and the countless believers within it actually worshipped Houtu.

In his eyes, there were only the twelve zodiac gods and countless low-level deities.

Hongjun, believing he had seen through everything, silently withdrew his gaze and replied in a calm voice.

"The emergence of the Divine Way of Wish Power is the operation of the Great Way. The Great Way is fifty, and the Heavenly Way is forty-nine. This is a minor variable."

"Small trends can be changed, but the big trends remain unchanged. Even a sage should not act against the will of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti Daoist's eyes darkened; Hongjun did not want him to get involved in this matter.

Just then, a figure quietly descended – it was Nuwa.
