Chapter 385: Manifestation of the Earth Dao, Houtu Enters Reincarnation

On the peak of the nameless mountain, Su Chen and Sun Wukong stood side by side.

The wild wind howled, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became incomparably sluggish.

Above the firmament, the clear cloud sea was rapidly eroded by a thick layer of blood-colored resentment.

Across the entire Primordial land, countless wandering ghosts let out shrill shrieks.

These sounds pierced directly into the spirit and soul.

Golden light flickered in Sun Wukong's eyes as he also looked toward the direction of the Blood Sea.

"Little brother, what is wrong with this world? It makes me feel restless."

"Ancestral Sorcerer Houtu is going to complete the Earth Dao."

Su Chen explained briefly, saying no more.

He stood in his green robes, facing the wind.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

He felt the origin of the Earth Dao trembling violently.

The place of extreme Yin in the Primordial, the boundless Blood Sea that had been silent for eternity, was now churning.

The entire Netherworld Blood Sea had blood waves towering to the sky, with a fishy wind blowing in their faces.

A pungent, fishy smell filled every inch of space.

Countless broken wandering souls struggled in the blood water.

They bit each other, letting out desperate wails.

A gentle yellow figure stepped into this dead zone.

It was none other than the Ancestral Sorcerer Houtu.

She looked quietly at the billions of broken souls struggling below.

The confusion and struggle that had once been in her eyes were gone, replaced by great compassion and pity.

Deep in the Blood Sea, the blood water surged.

Ancestor Friend Ming He, dressed in red robes, floated to the surface.

He held the Yuantu and Abi swords, looking at Houtu with wary eyes.

He did not understand why this Ancestral Sorcerer had come to the Blood Sea alone.

But he did not speak to stop her.

The aura on Houtu at this moment was too compassionate, making it impossible for anyone to harbor any murderous intent.

"Life has a place of origin; death has a path of return."

Houtu murmured softly.

Su Chen's words from that night flashed through her mind.

This was not betrayal; this was leaving the final hope for the Sorcerer Clan.

Houtu raised her head, looking up at the firmament obscured by blood color.

The earth-yellow light around her body erupted violently.

The light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the entire Netherworld Blood Sea.

Immediately following, Houtu's body began to grow infinitely tall.

The true body of the Ancestral Sorcerer of Earth manifested.

Human body with a snake tail, seven hands on the back, two hands in front of the chest, holding two snakes in her hands.

Her massive body stood between heaven and earth.

She radiated an aura as heavy as the Primordial land itself.

The wandering souls in the Blood Sea felt this aura.

They stopped struggling one after another, looking up at this magnificent Dharma image.

Houtu took a deep breath.

Her voice, at this moment, possessed the blessing of the supreme origin of the Earth Dao.

The voice penetrated down to the Nine Netherworlds, reached up to the Thirty-Three Heavens, and spread throughout the entire Primordial world.

It sounded in the minds of every living being in the Primordial.

"Heavenly Dao above."

"Today, there is Like Pangu's descendant Houtu, who feels for the Primordial beings having no place for their spirits to rest after death, with resentment soaring to the sky."

"I am willing to abandon my Ancestral Sorcerer true body, to transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, to complete the Earth Dao."

"May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

As the words fell, the Primordial shook.

Houtu's incomparably massive Ancestral Sorcerer true body began to disintegrate inch by inch.

Her flesh and blood peeled away, turning into the purest origin of Earth.

Her bones shattered, merging into the Netherworld earth.

Her Law of Earth intertwined with the origin of the Earth Dao, spinning crazily above the Blood Sea.

Six incomparably deep, massive whirlpools emitting endless suction slowly took shape.

These were the Six Paths of Reincarnation: the Hell Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, the Animal Path, the Asura Path, the Human Path, and the Heaven Path.

With the appearance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, blood rain poured down between heaven and earth.

All things grieved together; the sound of the wind was mixed with sobbing, plants drooped, and rivers stopped flowing.

Mount Buzhou, Like Pangu Hall.

Eleven terrifying auras soared into the sky, tearing the firmament apart.

"Little sister!"

Di Jiang manifested his true body, his faceless head roaring toward the sky.

The Law of Space went completely out of control, and the void within a radius of dozens of miles collapsed instantly.

Countless spatial fragments cut through the rocks around Like Pangu Hall.

The flames around Zhurong turned pure black; he threw a punch, instantly melting a mountain peak tens of thousands of miles away into magma.

Gonggong's eyes turned blood-red, roaring toward the sky, causing the waters of the Four Seas to churn violently, raising ten-thousand-zhang waves.

The other Ancestral Sorcerers also erupted with earth-shattering auras.

The grief-stricken roars of the eleven Ancestral Sorcerers shook the entire Primordial.

They felt the complete dissipation of Houtu's bloodline.

The Sorcerer Clan has no Primordial Spirit; once the Ancestral Sorcerer true body disintegrates, it is complete annihilation.

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Heavenly Dao produced a response.

A huge gap split open in the firmament.

Boundless golden clouds of Profound Yellow merit rolled out.

The golden clouds were incomparably heavy, radiating a sacred and inviolable pressure.

The magnitude of this merit even exceeded the merit from when Nüwa created humans.

The golden clouds of merit condensed into a pillar of light reaching the sky, falling straight into the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The filth of the Netherworld Blood Sea was instantly purified by more than half; Friend Ming He was terrified, hurriedly casting his divine abilities to take the remaining Blood Sea far away from the Netherworld.

The Heavenly Dao merit descended, with seventy percent merging into the six massive whirlpools, stabilizing the Six Paths of Reincarnation and completing the Earth Dao laws.

The remaining thirty percent of the merit gathered in mid-air.

Houtu, who should have had her spirit and soul destroyed, was nourished by this massive merit and re-condensed a Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit solidified, turning into a beautiful woman dressed in Profound Yellow palace attire.

Her brows and eyes still held Houtu's gentleness, but she now possessed a sacred and inviolable majesty.

From this point on, there was no more Ancestral Sorcerer Houtu in the Primordial, only the Netherworld's Lady Pingxin.

Lady Pingxin stood above the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Her gaze fell, and her red lips moved slightly.

"Reincarnation, activate."

The six massive whirlpools slowly rotated, and the billions of broken souls struggling in the Blood Sea felt the call of their destination.

They turned into specks of spiritual light, casting themselves into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Across the Primordial land, countless living beings felt peace in the depths of their souls.

Whether they were Demon Clan, Human Clan, or Primordial exotic beasts.

They all faced the direction of the Netherworld, kneeling on both knees.

"Lady, have mercy!"

The vast sound of worship resounded throughout the Three Realms.

On the peak of the nameless mountain, Su Chen watched the blood rain falling from the sky and the golden light of merit filling the heavens.

He straightened his green robes, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply toward the direction of the Netherworld.

As a bystander, Su Chen had witnessed the most tragic and magnificent scene in this mythology.

He had changed a minor trend; the time for Houtu to transform into reincarnation was earlier than the original trajectory.

This bow was in honor of Houtu's selfless love and the vastness of the Great Dao.

Su Chen felt a sudden realization, stood straight, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his dantian.

Within his dantian, the Hunyuan Jin Dan vibrated violently, and the power of Yin/Yang and the Five Elements became more harmonious and free than ever before.

Witnessing the establishment of reincarnation had greatly sublimated his state of mind.

He saw the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao's operation.

The Dao patterns on the Jin Dan became increasingly clear, and he had found his direction for the future.

The barrier of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm showed a trace of loosening.

He only needed one opportunity to break through all the Dao patterns on the Jin Dan, penetrate the Hunyuan, and step into the Taiyi realm.

Sun Wukong stood to the side, putting away his usual casualness, his expression solemn.

"Little brother, Ancestral Sorcerer Houtu, she..." Sun Wukong's voice was somewhat sad.

"Monkey brother, do not be sad; she is still here," Su Chen opened his eyes. "She has just changed the way she protects the Sorcerer Clan."

Su Chen turned his head and looked toward the direction of Mount Buzhou.

The roars of the eleven Ancestral Sorcerers had subsided.

Su Chen frowned slightly; Houtu had transformed into reincarnation, and the Earth Dao was complete.

But the Sorcerer Clan had lost an Ancestral Sorcerer, and the Twelve Capital Divine Array was missing a link.

If the Demon Clan were to act, this was undoubtedly the best time.

Thirty-Three Heavens, Demon Emperor Hall.

Di Jun had sensed it as soon as there was movement in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

He stood up abruptly, staring fixedly at the direction of the Netherworld.

When he witnessed Houtu transforming into reincarnation, his expression was complex.

At this time, Eastern Emperor Taiyi walked into the hall with the Chaos Bell hanging above his head.

"Big brother, Houtu has fallen!"

There was irrepressible ecstasy in Taiyi's voice.

"The Twelve Capital Divine Array has broken on its own."

"This is Heaven helping our Demon Clan! Big brother, give the order to send out the troops!"

Di Jun, however, shook his head slightly, rejecting Eastern Emperor Taiyi's proposal.

"No, Houtu has just transformed into reincarnation and is revered by all living beings in the Primordial. If our Demon Clan sends out troops now, we will only be spurned by all living beings." ===== CHAPTER 386 =====
