Chapter 1128: Chapter 1122: Karma Dao and Truth Staff
As the first descendant of the Primordial Phoenix Ancestor, Xihuang, the second phoenix of the Ancient Primordial era, was an entity that survived numerous calamities and possessed an incredibly proud nature!
In the past, the Phoenix Clan dominated the skies for a cosmic era, contending with the Dragon Clan and Qilin for supremacy over heaven and earth, roaming the Primordial World, and as the second strongest of the Phoenix Clan, Xihuang battled across the heavens and the earth, traversing the four corners.
However, after the initial calamity of the Dragon-Han era, with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans narrowly avoiding the shattering of the Primordial World, their heavy losses led to losing their status as the main characters of the world and retreating from the power struggles in the Primordial World, thereafter resting and recuperating, silently witnessing the rise of various factions.
Shedding the mentality likened to that of an onlooker, and having witnessed multiple great calamities from an outsider’s perspective, her knowledge naturally expanded, and once extremely proud, Xihuang became more composed; when the Primordial Phoenix Ancestor secluded for cultivation, it was usually Xihuang who would assume the role of overseeing the Heavenly Phoenix Realm.
Yet, no matter how calm her nature, it could not suppress her inherently proud nature; upon seeing the Nightmare Witch King, whom she thought had fallen at her hands, reappear, she immediately felt a loss of face and harbored some anger in her heart.
Thus, she directly sent out the Heavenly Phoenix Treasure Mirror, intending to rely on this infinitely wondrous Innate Treasure to completely refine the Nightmare Witch King.
The Heavenly Phoenix Realm is one of the treasures safeguarding the fortune of the Phoenix Clan, its power not only great but also infinitely wondrous, and with Xihuang’s Dao Cultivation to activate it, naturally, it was beyond the Nightmare Witch King to withstand.
However, this Witch King, after all, was a Creation strong expert, not one to be easily slain, resisting stoutly for a while before being forcibly refined by Xihuang, venting her anger.
Originally thinking this old witch should be dead now, unexpectedly, a Truth Nightmare Wizard, involved in besieging Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan nearby, suddenly shrieked, transforming into the appearance of the Nightmare Witch King!
“Kekekeke…”
The Nightmare Witch King continuously emitted a strange laughter, waving and casting eerie nightmare scenes, twisting laws, attempting not only to bewilder the mind and spirits of several Creation Ancestors but also casting spells on the Immortal Golden Immortals and Eternal Great Powers following them!
She knew her current state was not good and found it hard to gain any advantage in front of these Creation Ancestors, moreover now, even with the resurrection aiding her subordinate nightmare wizards, her already severe injuries worsened, her state far from before, thus she targeted killing several immortals and eternals while entangling these Creation Ancestors as much as possible.
Even if unable to inflict heavy damage on Biluo, she intended to make them suffer some losses!
Only this further provoked Xihuang’s anger but also clued her into the Witch King’s resurrection method.
Previously thinking the old witch used some unknown method to escape his flames, now seeing the Nightmare Witch King resurrect before his eyes, if he still discovered nothing then, Xihuang would indeed dishonor her standing as a peak strong expert of the Phoenix Clan!
“Hmph, rebirth through borrowing bodies, could it be you have sown the seeds of the Dao among all your wizards?”
Xihuang coldly sneered, “Employing such demon path techniques stealthily is excusable, yet you dare to use them openly before me, do you truly think I cannot deal with you?”
Before the words fell completely, the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror in Xihuang’s hand flowed with radiant light, transforming into a myriad of colors.
He prepared to launch a mighty attack to severely injure the Nightmare Witch King while seizing the opportunity to infiltrate Mirror Light into the soul origin of the Lord of Nightmare.
If successful, from now on, the Mirror Light of the Heavenly Phoenix Realm would always lurk within the soul origin of the Nightmare Witch King, each resurrection attempt resulting in death by the Mirror Light; if the Mirror Light remained unextinguished, the Nightmare Witch King’s revival would remain impossible.
Xihuang could even use the Heavenly Phoenix Realm anytime to sense the whereabouts of the Nightmare Witch King’s soul origin, and if suppressed and imprisoned, then completely annihilating the Nightmare Wizard lineage meant the Nightmare Witch King would have no chance of resurrection.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Mituom Buddha walked over, lotuses blooming beneath his steps, under the endless Buddha Light.
Seeing the struggling Nightmare Witch King forced to barely support herself, he shook his head, sighing: “Relying on your own Dao seeds to cultivate Nightmare Wizards, such demon path methods being practiced in the world, even forming a system, suggests that the Wizard World does not truly belong to the Order Camp!
Hmph, if allowed to continue, even were the Wizard World not breached by us this time, you would eventually bring ruin upon yourselves!
Such practices are tantamount to turning the clan’s juniors into nourishment, mere puppets under your control, allowing them to grow as they will in normal times yet unable to truly mature due to harboring your Dao imprint within.
This undertaking may grant you endless rebirth opportunities, but it comes at the cost of severing the juniors’ cultivation path; the stronger your Nightmare Wizard branch grows, the weaker the Wizard Clan’s potential becomes, until other Wizard Kings discover and emulate this technique, creating similar witchcraft, dooming the Wizard World.”
Mituom Buddha evidently held such demon path techniques in disdain.
In the Original Star Domain, the myriad demon clans of the Heavenly Demon Great World had long perfected countless demon path techniques, and although the Nightmare Witch King’s method appeared formidable, counted among the strongest survival means in this Star Domain, in the Heavenly Demon Great World it was but one amongst many directions for demon path cultivation.
In the Heavenly Demon Realm, there exist strong individuals whose methods are a thousand times more sinister!
Any world within the Original Star Domain will inevitably have dealt with the demon path.
And Buddhism, known as the archenemy of the demon path!
For the two sides have been at odds forever, with even their cultivation techniques standing in stark contrast.
If the demon path specializes in finding cultivators’ weaknesses, constantly striking against them, then the Buddhist Law was practically born to counter the demon path, frequently converting some strong demon into protectors of the Buddha Sect!
Having battled with the Demon Clan from the Heavenly Demon Realm, Xihuang was not unfamiliar with the Nightmare Witch King’s resurrection methods, nor incapable of contending with them.
However, as the foremost power of the Biluo Buddha Sect, Mituom Buddha possesses a technique that can directly counteract such methods.
Thus, Mituom Buddha approached with hands clasped: “Daoist Friend Xihuang, why not let me handle this Nightmare Witch King!”
Xihuang glanced at Mituom Buddha, hesitating slightly, but knowing that in this regard the other was indeed more adept, so she withdrew the Heavenly Phoenix Realm: “In that case, I leave it to you, Buddha!”
“You’re too kind, Daoist Friend!”
Mituom Buddha radiated boundless Buddha Light, illuminating the entire space with brilliance, and the Nightmare Witchcraft unleashed by the Nightmare Witch King began to dissolve upon contact with the Buddha Light.
Although supported by her powerful Principle Power, it hadn’t completely disappeared yet, it was clearly struggling.
And as soon as Mituom Buddha started chanting the Buddhist Scripture, the minds of All Immortals previously entangled in Nightmare Witchcraft became clear, completely breaking free from its influence.
But that wasn’t all, Mituom Buddha waved a hand, deploying the Five-Finger Divine Mountain, the most suppressive among the forty-eight Supreme Divine Powers of Buddhism, to suppress the Nightmare Witch King.
The Nightmare Witch King shrieked, her form shuddered, and endless nightmare scenes surfaced around her. Simultaneously, a grotesque and terrifying Lord of Nightmare suddenly appeared, attempting to break through the Five-Finger Divine Mountain.
Boom…
The illusory Lord of Nightmare couldn’t withstand for a moment before being directly blasted apart by the Five-Finger Divine Mountain, revealing the Nightmare Witch King below.
Subsequently, Mituom Buddha pressed on, and within moments, the Nightmare Witch King’s form was shattered again.
It’s not that Mituom Buddha was much stronger than the Nightmare Witch King, but the latter was repeatedly injured, unable to restore her power to peak state upon each revival. On the contrary, resurrection depleted her Origin, and the original body she used to reincarnate wasn’t strong enough, limiting her post-rebirth strength, requiring time to recuperate to truly recover. In this state, she was naturally no match.
Just as the Nightmare Witch King planned to repeat her old tricks, continuing to reincarnate through other bodies, she suddenly sensed an impending crisis surging in her mind.
Immediately, a massive power of Karma surged through the premonition, binding her Origin Spiritual Light tightly, making escape impossible.
Even a strand of her Origin Spiritual Light hidden within the Nightmare Dao, along with all the Nightmare Seeds inside the Nightmare Wizards, were entangled by the Karma Threads, forming an invisible net spanning the Wizard World, leaving her nowhere to escape!
Whether she intended to reincarnate nearby with the help of a Nightmare Wizard in the Heart of the World space, or through the abundant Nightmare Wizards outside, it was impossible. Her Origin Spiritual Light couldn’t escape Mituom Buddha’s Karma Threads wherever she fled!
Moreover, Mituom Buddha went on to utterly destroy all the Nightmare Seeds first through the Karma Threads, not killing all the Nightmare Wizards, but rendering them foundationless, their strength immensely reduced, leaving them with a tenth of their power!
Ultimately, after Mituom Buddha employed Supreme Dharma to forcibly refine the Nightmare Seeds inside all Nightmare Wizards, the Nightmare Witch King could only meet the fate of death and Dao elimination!
Blaming herself for being too arrogant, relying on her powerful resurrection methods, she dared to display it right in front of the Biluo Camp’s strong experts, directly exposing her greatest trump card; isn’t this courting death?
While Mituom Buddha was utterly refining the Nightmare Witch King, the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan at the other side also forced the Wisdom Wizard King into a dead end!
With numerous powerful figures from Biluo arriving, naturally, a large number of Golden Immortals and Eternals surrounded and slaughtered the Wizards, allowing the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan to solely focus on the Wisdom Wizard King instead of dealing with hundreds of Truth Wizards.
Even though the Wisdom Wizard King wielded the Truth Wand, no matter how powerful this Witch Artifact was, it was impossible to contend against the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan with just this item!
Thus, this Wisdom Wizard King was eventually slain on the spot by the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan.
The Truth Wand lost control, immediately tearing through the Void attempting to escape.
No sufficiently powerful Wizard was present to control it, and sensing the danger here, the Truth Wand instinctively sought to flee to avoid falling into enemy hands.
“Trying to escape?”
The Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan waved his horsetail whisk, countless threads swiftly and firmly entwined around the Truth Wand.
The Truth Wand struggled repeatedly, yet couldn’t contend with the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan’s Boundless Magical Power, being continuously dragged closer to him.
But after all, this is the foremost Witch Artifact of the Wizard World, esteemed as a treasure even in the Cultivation World, and not an entity easily subdued.
The Truth Wand suddenly expanded, becoming hundreds of feet thick and tens of thousands of feet high, then quickly shrank back to the size of a normal Witch Wand. It repeated this transformation, and, taking advantage of the horsetail whisk exposing a slight gap, it broke free.
However, during its transformation, the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan already saw through its tricks. In terms of wisdom, how could a mere Witch Artifact compare to an Ancient Great Power Ancestor who has lived countless years like the Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan!
Thus, just as the Truth Wand thought it had gained freedom, it suddenly realized it had intruded into a peculiar world, where Yin and Yang were revolving, and a black and a white fish constantly whirled around it…
“What a treasure!”
The Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan reached out a hand, taking the Truth Wand trapped within the Yin Yang Map, scrutinizing it for a moment, couldn’t help but smile: “My mentor has a pole used as a staff, I intended to emulate this but never found a suitable treasure. Now, with the Truth Wand in my hand, it’s truly fitting to make a staff!”
