The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002: Chapter 999: Power and Daoist Way Chapter 1002: Chapter 999: Power and Daoist Way “Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva…” Zhong Kui finally saw the person's appearance and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the Bull Demon King and others all wore expressions of disbelief.

The emaciated old monk revealed a smile of compassion and waved his hand, sealing the Ghost Eye Vortex that even Zhong Kui himself found difficult to close again. He said, “It behooves you all to preserve your useful bodies and not make needless sacrifices…”

“Ksitigarbha, impossible… You should have been thoroughly dead,” Yellow Eyebrow screamed, his face showing horror.

“Amitabha, life and death, cessation and extinction, are but an illusion. As for you, if you had committed a grave error that year, are you still not willing to turn back from error now?” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva intoned a Buddha's name and asked.

“A grave error? I'm merely following the trend of the times. Where is my mistake!” Yellow Eyebrow demanded.

“To follow the trend but not the Dao, if the Dao does not exist, how can there be a mistake?” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head and said.

“If the trend destroys the Heavenly Dao, and the Great Dao succumbs to the Demonic Path, doesn't that mean we're following the Dao?” Yellow Eyebrow snorted coldly, still refusing to admit his wrong.

“Enough, enough, then take a look at the Dao you seek,” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ceased further discussion and pressed down with his palm.

His aura surged instantaneously, and although he was within Yellow Eyebrow's Sea of Consciousness, he seemed like the master of this place. As his palm pressed down, the surrounding Heaven and Earth changed color.

Yellow Eyebrow wanted to resist, but in an instant, his view turned into a Sea of Flames. It was all dim around, with Black Qi rising everywhere, endless slaughter, wailing and mourning, blood and raging fires drenching the Earth. The Three Realms no longer differentiated between Human and Immortal domains; all territories turned into lands of demons.

“This scene, is this the Demonic Path you desire?” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's voice echoed between Heaven and Earth.

“Just an illusion of Mount Meru, the false splendor of immortals and Buddhas, I prefer the iron and blood of the Demon Clan. I have seen enough, even if ruin is what comes, I will not repent…” Yellow Eyebrow was silent for a moment, his face gradually becoming fierce, almost screaming madly.

“Though you have benefitted from the Buddhist Dharma for countless years, you have never understood why the Buddhist Sect sacrifices themselves, and how they sacrifice themselves. If you don't enter hell, who will?” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed and slapped down with his palm.

Yellow Eyebrow's divine soul was greatly shaken, his face showed pain as he gritted his teeth, “You are nothing but struggling vainly. Little do you know that Chiyou, who lies dormant in Chang'an City, is about to awake. At that time, where in the Three Realms will not be hell? Then, wouldn't it be better for both of us to enter hell?”

As his voice fell, his divine soul was suddenly engulfed in blazing flames, and a Golden Book emerged within it, also beginning to curl slightly under the scorching of the soul fire.

“Why bother…” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed upon seeing this.

“Let's be destroyed together. To get this Heavenly Book is wishful thinking, ha ha…” Yellow Eyebrow's divine soul had twisted, but he still wore a ferocious smile, seemingly seeing the destruction of all.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva raised his hand and gently waved it, and the Yangliu Branch illusion circling around Nie Caizhu instantly fluttered over. In the Void, it contracted and condensed, turning into a dewdrop that fell into the flames.

“Drip”

A light sound was heard, and the flames on the Golden Book were suddenly extinguished by the drop of water. The entire book was shrouded in a layer of water-blue light and slowly floated in front of Nie Caizhu.

Nie Caizhu looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, somewhat at a loss, upon witnessing this.

“Take it. Maitreya Buddha originally intended to pass it to you through Guanyin Bodhisattva's hands that year, but unfortunately, he was ambushed later, and it ended up in Yellow Eyebrow's hands. Now, after all these twists and turns, it has finally returned to its rightful owner,” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva encouraged.

After hearing this, Nie Caizhu bowed deeply to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and then she raised her hand to gently cradle the Heavenly Book.

The moment her fingers touched the Heavenly Book, her divine soul instantly withdrew from Yellow Eyebrow's Sea of Consciousness, which was collapsing, and she appeared in a golden space.

On the other side, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the Bull Demon King and his companions, his eyes carrying a hint of admiration, and he slowly said, “From now on, the future of the Three Realms shall be entrusted to you…”

Zhong Kui and the others' eyes were filled with reverence as they bowed deeply in salute.

When they raised their heads, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who vowed “If I do not enter hell, who will?” had finally completely perished and dissipated.

Although Shen Luo's divine soul doppelganger was temporarily occupied by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he was also clearly aware of everything and said, “Let's go. This place is about to collapse, and we need to get back.”

A moment later, several people on the altar had their soul doppelgangers return and opened their eyes one after another.

“You're finally awake. Hurry up and join up with the Town Primordial Great Immortal. We need to leave,” Yang Jian said with joy when he saw them awake and hurriedly spoke.

“What happened?” Everyone, not knowing what had occurred, hastily asked.

“The Nine Netherworlds have launched an attack. Everything outside has descended into chaos. We need to leave this place immediately,” Yang Jian quickly explained.

While they were talking, waves of battle cries came from outside, and a great number of Human and Immortal Clan disciples had already started to retreat in this direction.

“Let's go,” Shen Luo said in a low shout, ready to leave, but then he suddenly remembered something.

He turned back and searched Yellow Eyebrow's body, finding a very exquisite personal storage bag, which he took into his sleeve.

Before the group could even move, they saw a colossal palm strike descend from high altitude, splitting the infernal skydome in two. Cloud layers churned, revealing an immense chasm.

On either side of the chasm, the clouds rolled violently, and high above, Zhenyuanzi could be seen battling the Nine Netherworlds, with several figures from the Demon Clan joining from the sides, surrounding and attacking Zhenyuanzi.

Just at that moment, a thunderous shout came: “Get out of the way!”

As the voice faded, a dazzling array of five-color divine light appeared above the chasm. Shen Luo and the others felt a sting in their eyes as the light injured them, preventing them from looking directly at it.

Immediately following, continuous earth-shattering booms erupted, and the sky's chasm, still unhealed, was blasted apart by even more powerful shock waves.

“Nine Netherworlds, if you dare to interfere again, I'll slay you first,” came another furious shout.

“Boom!”

The five-color divine light bloomed once again, and an enormous crater appeared in the skydome above, with Zhenyuanzi's figure being suppressed by a column of five-color light from high above, plummeting down and crashing heavily onto the ground.

Shen Luo and the others quickly followed and saw Zhenyuanzi stand up. His right sleeve rustled as he absorbed the entire column of five-color light into it.

“Town Primordial Great Immortal…” the group cried out.

“It's nothing, did you get the Heavenly Book?” Zhenyuanzi waved his hand and after a brief inspection, noticing Yellow Eyebrow's divine soul and breath had completely vanished, he immediately frowned and asked.

“We got it,” Nie Caizhu stepped forward and nodded.

“Good,” Zhenyuanzi, looking up at the sky, said happily.

“However, there is some bad news. It seems that Chiyou is about to awaken,” Nezha spoke up.

“Since the Destroyer battle that year, Chiyou had exhausted all his power and has been sleeping in Chang'an City for hundreds of years. During this time, the Demon Clan has been continuously transferring energy to him, trying to awaken him, and indeed, the time for his resurrection has now come,” Zhenyuanzi said without surprise, pondering.
