Chapter 48: The Calamity of the Human Tribe

  Ksitigarbha appeared in the six realms of reincarnation, loudly saying: "The hells are not empty, I vow not to become a Buddha. All living beings will be saved, and then I will attain Bodhi." As soon as these sixteen words were spoken, the heavenly way was moved, and a stream of merit descended, instantly elevating Ksitigarbha's spiritual practice. With the help of his staff and divine bell, two magical objects, both good and evil spirits emerged at once.

  Jie Yin took a look and saw that Dizang was able to behead two corpses, which made him extremely delighted in his heart. However, relying on this cultivation alone is still not enough to contend with the Naihe River, let alone transform billions of Asuras. Jie Yin summoned the past Buddha's body, the true Buddha of the past, and with both hands forming a seal, he ignited a spark of karma fire on Dizang's ninth-grade red lotus.

  Ksitigarbha sat upright on the lotus platform, his Taoist practice had made great progress, and he didn't feel any joy or sorrow. He was reciting the true words in his mouth, and the countless vengeful spirits in the bloody sea were still under his control. It seemed as if they had found their home, quickly escaped from the control of the bloody sea, and came to Ksitigarbha's seat with a grayish body. As soon as the Buddhist mantra was uttered, a strange and inexplicable black gas separated from this vengeful spirit, and its soul, with a joyful expression, threw itself into the six paths of reincarnation and left.

  The black air gradually gathered together, just attached to the karma fire, and the karma fire became more and more prosperous. Before long, a Buddha's true body of over ten feet tall walked out from it, which was Ksitigarbha borrowing the karma fire to condense the Buddha's body of karma fire.

  The Buddha's body sat upright on the ground behind Ksitigarbha, together reciting the Mahayana Buddhist mantra of liberation from the Blood Lake, more and more souls above the Blood Lake were freed from their karma, reborn again in the cycle of reincarnation. Ksitigarbha seemed to ignore everything, only ceaselessly ferrying all beings across.

  At this time, the old ancestor of the Nether River had already understood the purpose of the introduction to the accurate transmission. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, and his heart was filled with rage. Kshitigarbha was preaching the scriptures and proclaiming the Dharma at this moment, and the great teachings of Buddhism were being transmitted above the bloody sea. Could his own Asura tribe still be preserved? This was indeed a matter that shook his foundation! The old ancestor of the Nether River became even more enraged, and both of his aged eyes were spewing fire.

  When he saw not only the vengeful spirits being transformed, but also many Asura tribe members joining their hands together and bowing to Ksitigarbha, kneeling on one side and listening intently to the sutra, Meng Po could no longer hold back and asked loudly: "Junti, you have brought two saints here, what do you plan to do?"

  "Hmph, it's only natural to help you two become enlightened and devoted to Buddha, so that you can escape the sea of suffering as soon as possible." Zhun Ti replied. "My Shura has its own wonderful methods, I ask the two saints not to bully people too much, even if we lose our lives in the underworld, we cannot let you destroy our Shura." Ming He was really angry now, no longer caring about the dignity of the saints, and was about to fight with Zhun Ti. If things went on like this, what would be the point of being the master of Shura?

  "You have a big tone, Menghe Dao! You delight in killing all day long in the Blood Sea, and after the creatures die, you still want to refine their souls. This sin is not worth dying for a hundred times!" Zhunti was about to be threatened by Menghe, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand was about to be used. Seeing that things were not going well, Menghe quickly submerged himself in the Blood Sea. The methods of the saint would not allow Menghe to be careless!

  Zhun Ti looked at Ming He with a smile, "Today, let you witness the methods of a saint, and also to avoid being ignorant of good and evil." Zhun Ti waved the Seven Treasures Miao Tree, and the blood-red seawater was separated by the colorful light. The huge light rushed towards Ming He.

  The River Styx's lost souls all emerged, instantly releasing countless Blood Gods, rushing straight at the seven-colored light. Explosions echoed one after another, and clusters of bloodstains polluted the accurate law, as the light grew thinner and thinner.

  A cold light flashed on the surface of Zhunti, his left hand fingers lightly chanting, a black light gathered, it was the destroying immortal light, which Zhunti obtained by cultivating the great destruction technique. With a light wave of his finger, the dark light rushed straight to the brow of Minghe River.

  Minghe Old Ancestor was also a seasoned veteran, knowing that this point of immortal light was difficult to defend against. He hastily summoned the Xuan Yuan Controlling Water Flag to protect his body and raised the two treasured swords, Yu Tu and A Bi, to block the destructive immortal light.

  Zhun Ti's shattered Xian Guang contained the sage's understanding of the Great Way, and even though Ming He was a rare pre-heavenly great god, he was still unable to withstand it. The two Xian swords had just touched the Xian Guang when they were knocked flying, striking directly at Ming He's body.

  Fortunately, there is the Xuanyuan Kontrol Water Flag, this defensive treasure that blocked most of the attacks for Minghe, but still a bit of sacred light entered Minghe's body, instantly destroying nearly half of his Dao body. Minghe let out a loud cry of pain and escaped to the depths of the Blood Sea, never to come out again.

  Zhun Ti's move almost cost Ming He half his life, and this Shura master has truly witnessed the saint's methods, but the price paid is not small.

  At this time, Ksitigarbha had already stood firm in the six realms of reincarnation, and more and more vengeful spirits were transformed by Ksitigarbha. The true body of Ksitigarbha's karma fire was also getting higher and higher. Among the Asuras, there were not a few clansmen who listened to the Dharma with an open heart and changed their evil ways of the past.

  Jie Yin and Zhun Ti saw that at this moment, Dizang had a hint of sacred aura. Dizang's salvation of all beings has earned him merit with heaven and earth, and he received a hint of heavenly power, thus quickly stabilizing the Blood Sea.

  This is a critical moment, the Buddhist door has already taken the lead, and the Three Purities have also become aware of it. However, they may not have any countermeasures for the time being. By the time the Three Purities realize the importance of reincarnation, everything may be too late.

  Ksitigarbha dominates the cycle of rebirth, and the Buddhist method of transmigration and re-cultivation can be widely disseminated. The introduction and Zhunti Xin have some ease in their difficulties, and the two saints return to Mount Sumeru together.

  After Nüwa rushed to the altar of the Wu tribe that day, using her refined blood to create Di Jun and Tai Yi, she came to the sun star, bringing out the merits of Di Jun and Tai Yi as the masters of the heavenly court, driving away the black air from their bodies, and instantly dispersing it with great magical power.

  Di Jun Tai Yi woke up one after another after a period of coma, and the upper and lower levels of the demon clan all had a joyful color. Xi He told Di Jun and Tai Yi about what happened before and after, but Di Jun's face became increasingly ugly, even worse than when he was ambushed. His own Demon-Controlling Flag was the key to controlling the demon clan, and it was also the capital for Di Jun to resist the Holy Man. Now that it had been handed over to Nüwa, how could Di Jun not feel bitter in his heart?

  Di Jun looked at his wife again, could he blame her? If it weren't for Xi He and Tai Yi still being in a coma, the anger accumulated in Di Jun's heart would have nowhere to vent, and it would all be blamed on the Wu tribe.

  When Emperor Jun heard that Zu Wu Hou Tu was about to undergo reincarnation, he almost went mad with joy. The most powerful thing about Zu Wu is summoning the true body of Pangu. If it weren't for this move, the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array would be enough to deal with the Witch tribe, and the Demon tribe would have a chance of winning.

  Di Jun seemed to have taken a stimulant and quickly gathered the demon clan to discuss the conquest of the witch clan.

  "Your Majesty, I, a humble subject, have discovered something of great importance and wish to report it to you." A demon god knelt down before Emperor Jun.

  "Speak," Emperor Jun had almost no impression of this new demon god, so he didn't pay much attention to his words, but as soon as he heard what he said, he was moved.

  Originally, the vast wilderness still had some small monsters, many of which fed on human tribes. There were also many cultivators among the human tribes who fought against each other. A few small monsters collected the souls of human tribe cultivators and refined them into a treasure, coincidentally seen by the witch tribe.

  These witches revealed their true form, and their combat power surged. Originally, these small demons had no way to survive, but they actually relied on the human soul's sacrificial refinement of the treasure, broke through the witch's true form, and escaped into the heavens.

  This matter gradually became known to the upper echelons of the demon tribe, and they also saw this treasure. They were astonished to discover that the human soul could actually destroy the true body of the witch tribe, and they were overjoyed. They immediately chose a representative to report to Emperor Jun.

  The thing that the demon tribe fears most about the witch tribe is first and foremost Pangu's true body, followed by this ancestor witch's true body. In the demon tribe, apart from Taiyi's Donghuang Zhong, there isn't anything else that can pose a mortal threat to the ancestor witch's true body. Now if we could find a way to deal with the witch tribe's true body, it would truly be a great stroke of luck.

  Di Jun repeatedly verified that the human soul can indeed restrain the true body of the Wu tribe. Of course, the soul required to restrain the true body of the Ancestor Wu is also astonishing. Di Jun was extremely excited, but thinking again, the relationship between humans and several saints made Di Jun's heart feel cold. Nüwa created humans and became a saint, Sanqing and Ersheng relied on humans to establish their teachings and become saints. If he rashly took action against humans, he feared that the wrath of the saints would be imminent.

  Emperor Jun had Fuxi inform Nüwa about this matter, to test her attitude. Nüwa possessed the fate of both the human and demon tribes, and under the support of their strong fate, she made rapid progress in her cultivation and moral integrity among all the saints. She also sensed the impending doom of the demon tribe and vaguely felt the calamity of the human tribe, which put her in a difficult position. Compared to the demon tribe, the witch tribe had the great merit of opening up the sky and the merit of Houtu's reincarnation. At present, they were already at an advantage in the battle between the two tribes. Therefore, it was necessary to enhance the combat power of the demon tribe and quickly eliminate the witch tribe in order to have a glimmer of hope for survival.

  Nüwa thought to herself, this calamity must be used to maximize her own benefits and also ensure the victory of the demon tribe. If the demon tribe could only kill hundreds of millions of humans to gain an advantage over the witch tribe, it would still be worth it. After all, there were now hundreds of billions of humans, already rivaling the number of demons and far surpassing that of the witches, making them the second-largest ethnic group in the vast expanse.

  However, Nüwa was also worried that if the witch and the demon fought, the witch would win or both would be injured, and the human race would take advantage of the situation to rise up. She couldn't allow the demon to slaughter the human race, but unfortunately, she only knew that there would be a great disaster, extremely ominous, but it was difficult to predict the exact outcome, which made her feel anxious.

  Di Jun made several probes, but Nüwa did not give any accurate answers. Di Jun knew that Nüwa was also hesitant, so he decided to take a risk and make the first move on a small scale to test the reaction of the other gods. Therefore, Di Jun sent out many small teams to secretly slaughter humans in the vast wilderness.

  Millions of people died, and the saints and witches all sensed it. The witches were cultivating a new ancestor witch at this time, namely the great witch Chiyou, who was selected from the Hou Tu tribe. Chiyou's cultivation was also among the top in the great witch, with extremely high talent, and after being chosen by several ancestor witches, he swallowed the essence of Pangu's blood. Emperor Jiang and other ancestor witches personally protected the law to help Chiyou refine the essence of blood.

  After spending hundreds of years, Chi You refined his essence and barely had the cultivation of a ancestral witch. However, two problems arose: Chi You was unable to activate the innate divine ability within Pangu's bloodline, and thus could not control the land's origin like Hou Tu did. This greatly affected Chi You's combat strength, to the point where it can be said that without his divine ability, Chi You wasn't even considered a ancestral witch.

  Moreover, what's even worse is that Chi You can indeed work with other ancestral witches to set up the Tian Shen Jie Da Array, but he cannot merge and summon the true body of Pangu in the end.

  These two points made the Ancestor Witch almost stunned, this is a big deal that will affect the final combat power of the Witch tribe, no Ancestor Witch dares to take it lightly, so the Ancestor Witch also knows that the Demon tribe is secretly slaughtering humans, but also has no energy to intervene.

  At the moment when Emperor Jiang was extremely anxious, he thought of a way. He remembered that the demon clan had once refined the Star Flag, relying on this to increase the power of the Big Dipper Array, and Emperor Jiang's heart moved, so he made this suggestion, and the other ancestors all cheered.

  However, there is trouble in front of the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe itself does not have a yuan god and cannot refine equipment like other cultivators. However, they also have their own secret technique for refining magical equipment, but the required materials are strange and difficult to find for the time being.

  Jiǔyīn was indeed a wise man of the Wu tribe. On this day, while patrolling the tribe, he suddenly discovered a black aura floating in the distance. Jiǔyīn's heart stirred greatly, and as he approached, he found that it was actually a vengeful spirit left behind by a human who had been killed.

  The demon tribe slaughtered the human tribe, taking away their souls, but they couldn't collect the resentment that humans discovered at the moment of death, so they wandered around and were discovered by Zhu Jiu Yin. This ancestor witch immediately found that it was the best material for refining the Doutian God Banner, and she was extremely excited.

  But little did they know that because of this, their tribe was almost destroyed and the Pangu bloodline was almost severed.
