Chapter 61: The Crimson Lotus of Karma

  As soon as Hou Tu heard this voice, her heart suddenly warmed up. This voice was too familiar, who else could it be besides Emperor Jiang?

  The River Styx let out a faint cry, just as he was about to turn his head back, a massive fist came flying over, and despite having the Industry Fire Red Lotus for protection, he was still knocked flying far away, with fresh blood spouting from his nose, suffering a minor injury from just one punch.

  He's too strong! Minghe was shocked in his heart and immediately thought of turning around to escape, but found that Emperor Jiang appeared in front of him again, blocking his way.

  "How about it, River of the Underworld? You've reached the peak of quasi-sainthood. Don't you want to compare notes with me?" Emperor Jiang glared at River of the Underworld and said viciously.

  The Meng River murmured and muttered, but was suddenly subdued by the majestic aura of Emperor Jiang, and couldn't utter a word.

  Di Jiang let out a cold snort and threw another punch. This time, Ming He was prepared and tried to dodge, but found his body suddenly frozen in place, unable to move. He was shocked and before he could react, Di Jiang's fist came again, striking Ming He's face once more, causing his nose to sink in slightly.

  "How dare you!" Having been punched twice in a row, Minghe also became enraged. Suddenly, his body burst out with a bloody mist, and the next moment, thousands of Blood Gods appeared, all pouncing on Emperor Jiang at once. These Blood Gods were a divine technique that Minghe had spent years researching, using the refined essence of those vengeful spirits and the Blood Sea's water to create these avatars, which fed on human flesh and blood while also being able to attack one's primordial spirit.

  Looking at so many Blood Gods, Emperor Jiang didn't feel a bit afraid, only filled with anger in his chest. This Menghe was indeed a ruthless and poisonous person, cultivating so many Blood Gods must have required countless vengeful spirits. Although Emperor Jiang considered himself not to be a kind-hearted person, seeing such a ruthless person still made him want to go over and trample him a few times.

  Di Jiang let out a long whistle, and the golden light of his merits enveloped and protected his primordial spirit. At the same time, he summoned the Qian Kun Ding to stand above his head, and in his hand appeared the Hong Meng Quantian Chi and the Invincible Board Brick. Originally, he had only intended to teach Ming He a lesson, but now he was filled with murderous intent.

  Ten thousand Blood Gods' sons crashed onto Emperor Jiang's body, just as they were about to open their mouths and bite, they were dispersed by Emperor Jiang's body. For a moment, the sound of crackling and popping came from all around Emperor Jiang, while the Blood Gods' sons became fewer and fewer with each passing moment.

  Minghe suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake. This Blood God's divine ability might be very threatening to other cultivators, but to Emperor Jiang, who was physically strong and resilient, it would have little effect and could only cause unnecessary waste.

  "Wudi, why don't we each take a step back and end this?" Minghe couldn't help but say.

  At this time, Emperor Jiang had already made up his mind to kill, and he would no longer listen to his words. With a sudden movement, he scattered the Blood Gods on the edge and instantly moved to the side of Minghe River. Minghe River was greatly shocked and did not think that Emperor Jiang was serious. Not daring to think much, he quickly hid into one of the Blood Gods and then changed his body several times before disappearing without a trace. The entire Blood Sea was left with only countless Blood Gods, but it was unknown which one Minghe River was hiding in.

  "Do you think that's all, the countless Blood Gods? I will scatter them one by one." Emperor Jiang said coldly, and with a loud shout, the entire sea of blood immediately stopped flowing. Whether it was the Shura tribe people in the depths of the sea of blood or the Blood Gods on the surface, they were all frozen in place, like a painting, motionless.

  Minghe, who was hiding in the Blood God Son, was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that Emperor Jiang's spatial law had been cultivated to such an extent that it could actually seal off the entire Blood Sea, and even someone like himself, a quasi-sage cultivator at the peak of the Venerable Realm, would be immobilized for a short time, which was enough to be severely injured by Emperor Jiang. Minghe didn't dare to move recklessly, although the seal on his body had disappeared, he still remained motionless like the other Blood God Sons, fearing that if he moved, Emperor Jiang would see through his true identity.

  "The skill of hiding one's aura is quite impressive, it even makes me feel a little admiration." Emperor Jiang's divine sense swept around once again, still unable to find Minghe's true location. With a determined heart, he began to disperse the Blood God Son.

  "Space shattered!" Emperor Jiang's loud shout caused the space above the Blood Sea to suddenly stir, forming countless fragments of nothingness. The millions of Blood Gods' sons exploded one after another, creating waves of bloody mist that drifted back into the Blood Sea. This was still the effect of Emperor Jiang showing mercy; otherwise, even the entire Shura clan beneath the Blood Sea would have been annihilated.

  Watching the Blood Gods disappear one by one, Minghe's heart was bleeding. This was something he had spent a long time refining, and yet Emperor Jiang had destroyed more than half of it in an instant. Moreover, this trend was still on the rise.

  Minghe knew that if he continued like this, Emperor Jiang would eventually discover his true identity. Continuing to hide would only result in wasting the Blood Spirit Pearl.

  "Wu Di, stop your hand." Ming He suddenly jumped out from Xue Shen Zi, stopping Emperor Jiang from continuing to exterminate Xue Shen Zi.

  Instead of a warm welcome, he was met with a massive fist that landed squarely on Minghe's face.

  "Ah! How dare you!" Minghe was enraged again. But his anger meant nothing in front of Emperor Jiang.

  "When you bullied my younger sister, you should have thought of the consequences." Emperor Jiang's icy voice came, instantly appearing behind Minghe, this time not letting him escape. The Invincible Brick slapped out, instantly knocking Minghe dizzy, and at the same time, his fists fell like raindrops, hundreds of punches all landing on his body, suddenly emitting a loud rumbling sound, startling many people from the Shura tribe.

  Looking back, the old ancestor of Minghe River had been beaten into a mess, and the two swords of Ye Huo Honglian and Yuan Tu Anbi were suspended above his corpse.

  "Big brother, did you kill him?" Looking at the lifeless body of Minghe, Hou Tu couldn't believe it. A cultivator who was just one step away from becoming a saint had fallen in such a manner.

  Dì Jiāng picked up the Yè Huǒ Hóng Lián and Yuān Tú ā Bí two swords from the ground, saying faintly: "He isn't that fragile." Dì Jiāng paused for a moment, gazing out at the boundless Blood Sea, continuing to say: "I had forgotten, the Blood Sea will not dry up, the Naihe River will not die."

  At this time, in a corner of the bloody sea, a clot of polluted blood was stuck there, not daring to move. Although it wasn't directly killed by Emperor Jiang, it had suffered severe injuries. At this moment, Minghe was like a startled deer, staring blankly as Emperor Jiang took away his three congenital treasures, but he couldn't muster up any resistance in his heart, only deep-seated fear. This Emperor Jiang's rage was too terrifying, leaving no room for explanation.

  Looking at the calm and waveless Blood Sea, Emperor Jiang removed the spatial seal, and the people of the Shura tribe could finally move again. However, no one dared to make a sound, fearing that they would provoke Emperor Jiang, this god of slaughter.

  "Big brother, won't this be bad?" Looking at Di Jiang putting away the three extreme-quality congenital spiritual treasures, Hou Tu asked with some concern, having seized Ming He's congenitally-born treasure, Hou Tu always felt that the karma was too great.

  Di Jiang nodded and said lightly: "Without cutting the grass by the roots, it will eventually be a disaster, indeed not good."

  Hou Tu was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.

  Di Jiang smiled lightly, "Don't worry about the karma with Ming He, it will be repaid soon."

  Houtu listened and found out that Emperor Jiang had known her intentions all along, but was just joking with her. She didn't know, if not for the fact that she couldn't find Minghe's whereabouts at the time, Emperor Jiang would have really cut off all means of retreat.

  Emperor Jiang erased the Nether River God's consciousness from the three spiritual treasures, and then refined the Karma Fire Red Lotus. He immediately beheaded an evil corpse, and his cultivation of the law increased significantly once again. After doing all this, Emperor Jiang turned around and looked at Hou Tu seriously.

  "Since you've made up your mind, no matter what you want to do, big brother will support you."

  The Emperor Jiang suddenly said this, causing Hou Tu to pause for a moment, but he immediately reacted and realized that his brother was no longer blaming him for reincarnating. He felt happy in his heart, but for some reason, he couldn't help but smile, and a strange sadness arose in his heart, with tears uncontrollably welling up.

  Di Jiang walked forward and stroked Hou Tu's hair, meanwhile secretly adding a sentence in his heart: but I will also never let you have any tragic ending.
