Chapter 1070: Ksitigarbha

Underworld.

Paladin leader—Sith sniffed the air: "I smell the scent of undead... If we cannot leave as soon as possible, we will soon encounter that pack of winter wights!"

Winter wights!

These are Legendary creatures that even dragons dare not contend with!

Their strength may be even greater than that of an adult dragon!

Of course, if it were only one winter wight, Sith would not be afraid in the slightest.

Not only because he himself is a Legendary paladin approaching the limits of the Material Plane, but also because his adventurer party is full of hidden talents.

Not only is there a Legendary-level elven moon-singer, but also a Legendary barbarian warrior, a grand Arcanist, and finally, a holy cleric!

With such a configuration, they might even be able to kill their way back and forth through the Abyss.

But unfortunately, what is pursuing this adventurer party is not one winter wight, but a whole pack!

Heaven knows why there are so many Legendary monsters in the Underworld!

Aaron casually sliced open a portal: "Enter this gateway, and you can head to the Material Plane..."

A series of mechanical sounds rang out.

"Commencing collection of Divine Kingdom data!"

A 'Floating City' is a grand Arcanist's war fortress, even possessing its own internal weave and a powerful energy core!

"Explorer-class golem launched!"

Finally, it landed upon the Divine Kingdom!

And today, this scene seems destined to repeat!

"Task received! Commencing analysis..."

Anthony's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "That deity's Divine Barrier is too powerful; the information my Floating City can collect is quite limited... However, I can confirm the other party has not participated in the Astral Plane war!"

"Tower Spirit, connect me to the Floating City!"

"Therefore, we must try! Anthony, immediately utilize the Floating City's Tower Spirit to collect intelligence on the deity in that Divine Kingdom!"

Seeing the Secret Teachings monks, the first reaction is to attack!

—War Domain!

At the same time, a crimson warhammer also appeared in her hand, with sharp metal spikes on the edges of the hammer.

Sith drew the holy sword at his waist, his eyes brightening: "These Secret Teachings gods are ultimately just outsiders; they have yet to accumulate a sufficiently deep foundation... The number of petitioners and God's Messengers is not high!"

—Saint form!

Deities are high and unreachable to any mortal being!

His previous arduous cultivation, obtaining the favor of the Lord of Radiance, being bestowed with an Artifact... everything, absolutely everything, was for this day, for this moment!

"Evil God!"

Diamond golems patrolled within, like the most loyal guards.

Amidst countless golden lotuses sat the massive true body of a deity!

"Information interference operation initiated!"

Encountering such a situation, it is very easy for the tragedy of ants biting an elephant to death to occur!

The next moment, she looked toward Aaron, her eyes carrying a dangerous light.

The Legendary moon-singer's expression instantly turned desperate: "Could it be within the realm of that 【Greater Divine Power】 outsider death god?"

"Flight golems preparing..."

Listalin nodded, not asking anything, simply putting away her giant hammer and preparing to leave.

He roared, and toward 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva', he swung a sword with all his might: "Evil-Breaking Slash!!"

Anthony nodded solemnly.

A layer of hazy light descended, enveloping this adventurer party.

"At the same time, notify the Father of Oaks; I hope the other party can provide us with support... It would be best if that Evil God's avatar is right on the battlefield!"

There, golden lotus flowers bloomed one after another, carrying a sense of great peace and great stillness.

Aaron looked up, only to see a crack torn in the gray sky, and a massive 'Floating City' teleported in!

A look of surprise appeared on Sith's face.

Bang!

The massive Divine Kingdom was instantly torn at one corner.

Sith looked at the two lines of secret text—'Patient and immovable as the earth, deep and secret in meditation as a hidden storehouse'—and muttered to himself: "Not very easy to deal with..."

"Besides that, there are only some 'secret texts' inscribed on the buildings... I have also done some research into this type of script; you know, Arcanists are always fond of all kinds of knowledge..."

Golden light erupted from Aaron's eyes, and a terrifying pressure burst forth from his body!

Anthony projected a scene.

Sith's lips were pressed tightly together; after a long silence, he finally spoke: "For this operation, the Mind Flayer Empire of the Astral Plane and the Northlands are all fully supporting us, launching a war... Even the Father of Oaks and the four Elemental Lords have been dispatched!"

"Do not waste your effort, watch me."

Boom!

Furthermore, many have a blood feud with the Secret Teachings and could not possibly retreat.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

Beneath His lotus throne, monsters resembling mastiffs were coiled, their two fat ears drooping to the ground, their eyes blood-red, their claws constantly digging at the ground, emitting roars.

Sith stroked the Artifact longsword in his hand.

Subsequently, he carved out a path leading to the true body of 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva'!

That was a golden lotus hall; on the two red pillars in front of the door, golden secret texts were inscribed, winding like snakes, carrying a strange charm.

Although this deity was somewhat unfamiliar, for the Crystal Wall System Coalition at this moment, any native god capable of opposing the Secret Teachings gods was an ally!

But the Secret Teachings gods had only just ruled the world for a short time, after all, and had not yet accumulated such a vast amount of foundation!

This was the opportunity!

As long as these 'Di Ting Divine Hounds' were killed, this 【Medium Divine Power】 would have no choice but to engage them in hand-to-hand combat!

"Woof woof!"

Anthony pressed a specially made communication gem in his hand.

Their adventurer squad, with the help of the Arcanist's Floating City, teleported directly into the center of the Divine Kingdom.

"What?"

The next moment, she opened her eyes, her pupils filled with scarlet blood and fire.

"A deity of the Earth and Wisdom Divine Duty?"

He gripped the Artifact longsword in his hand, suddenly struck by an epiphany.

Xisi cast his gaze toward the only Arcanist in the group!

Anthony nodded with a grave expression and waved his hand to cast an Arcane Art!

——Mass Invisibility!

Aaron's current attire—a Secret Teachings monk's robe, holding a strange lute, plus the identity of a 'Buddha Son'—was indeed very easy to cause misunderstandings.

Anthony roared.

The barbarian warrior was strong!

A Legend-level barbarian was even more powerful, especially when activating Legend Berserk!

This was a very important frontline combat force!

"Everyone, I think I have discovered the Chosen of the 'Weave Goddess'..."

Even in Saint form, it was like this!

Listalin saw the strange monk before her instantly transform into a golden giant, with a powerful Divine Barrier spread across his body surface!

"It is a native deity... descending into the Underworld in Saint form!"

Then, a massive beam of energy was fired directly from the Floating City, tearing the firmament!

"I will open the path!"

At the very center of the Floating City, a light blinked: "Executing master's order!"

"Damn Evil God, you cannot enslave my will!"

"Star Fall!"

As the incarnation slashed out by 'Vipasyin Buddha' to suppress the Underworld, 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva' was absolutely the most capable fighter among all 【Medium Divine Power】 deities!

However, he had no time to worry about this adventurer squad right now.

"I am the 'God of Stories', entrusted by the 'Father of Oaks' to come and rescue you!"

Thanks to the help of the Arcanist, the Legend barbarian, and the Elf Moon-Chanter, Xisi finally managed to reach the true body of that 【Medium Divine Power】!

"Good opportunity!"

Perhaps...

——Legend Berserk!

He instantly transformed into a cyan giant and, with a casual wave of his palm, sent several Di Ting Divine Hounds flying.

A truly smart person would not drag their teammates down at a critical moment!

Hearing this, the Holy Priest and the Elf Moon-Chanter wore faces full of gravity.

Anthony stepped out first and held his staff high: "Golem Legion—deploy!"

The Elf Moon-Chanter took out a silver longbow, its bowstring seemingly carrying the radiance of the Moon.

"Xisi!"

Even so, for them to break into the Divine Kingdom of a 【Greater Divine Power】 to save someone was still like a fever dream!

"No!"

The Legend professionals present all knew that the Secret Teachings were the enemy of all races in the Crystal Wall System!

The terrifying War Domain expanded, and a scarlet flag emerged behind her: "I... I am the Chosen of the War Lord, Scarlet Flag—Listalin!"

The entire Underworld was trembling!

She understood in an instant and lowered her arrogant head: "Please forgive my Arrogance!"

The Floating City, like a flying Gangtiebaolei, crashed in savagely...

A large space suddenly cleared in front!

"That is the Blasphemous Tongue..." the Holy Priest said with a grave expression: "If you don't activate 'Legend Berserk', with your strength, it is indeed very difficult to resist... I will continue to cast 'Holy Blessing' for you!"

When first entering the Underworld, that Elf Moon-Chanter had even marveled a little at the tranquility of the Underworld.

Countless pieces of information were aggregated and analyzed by the Floating City... and finally, the conclusion was delivered to Anthony.

When the Lord of the Corpse Forest had secretly empowered him before, he had simultaneously granted him the 'permission' to enter and exit the Underworld freely!

Letting Listalin go was merely a trivial matter.

"Mortal, do not challenge my patience!"

"It can be said that there is no better opportunity than now... and everyone knows that if we cannot resurrect the Weave Goddess and start the decisive battle, our win rate will decrease as time passes!"

Underworld.

At this time, the Legend barbarian in the team said with a bitter face: "Ever since entering the Underworld, that sound of Nirvana or whatever has been echoing in my ears, getting louder and louder... even having a Psychic Amulet prepared in advance hasn't been of any use!"

Then, a giant Mythallar emerged, sealing the inside and outside of the Divine Kingdom!

"Hurry! Even though the 'God-Slaying Mythallar' has been activated, facing the attack of a 【Greater Divine Power】 Death God... it can only hold for 300 seconds at most!"

However, just as she was about to step into the portal.

Countless strangely shaped mastiffs were pierced by sharp arrows one after another, falling to the ground and howling.

Anthony shouted frantically: "If my Floating City suffers any damage this time, you must pay for it all!"

Although this young Chosen of War did not know the identity of Buddha Son Aaron, she clearly already had some psychological trauma.

In the Ancient era, there were Great Arcanists who directly teleported their Floating City into the kingdom of a certain deity and took down the deity's true form!

"Die!"

"Tower Spirit, execute Plan 328 for breaching the Divine Kingdom!"

……

"Anthony?"

The Legend barbarian saw the cannon fodder being cleared and finally let out a roar, the muscles on his body bulging one by one.

Xisi quickly made a decision.

Generally, within the Divine Kingdoms of those old-school deities, the accumulated souls of believers have reached a terrifying level, with Legend creatures counted by the dozen, and there might even be Demigod creatures!

Xisi cleared the path in front, and the few of them narrowly brushed past a large group of winter ghosts.

Anthony's expression was a mix of laughter and tears: "If it were that God of Death, I would have suggested everyone go back long ago; we would have no chance at all... but that place is a Divine Kingdom of a 【Medium Divine Power】, which is where the 'Bodhisattva' in the faith of the heretics resides, so I am still a bit hesitant... Invading the Divine Kingdom of a 【Medium Divine Power】 is also not an easy task; it requires me to summon the Floating City to descend and strike directly... If I do that, the influence and fluctuations caused will be too great. We must complete the rescue mission in the shortest possible time, otherwise, everyone will stay in the Underworld and become undead..."

Then, she shot an arrow toward the sky!

A bright Moon rose, and countless rays of Light converged into star arrows, crashing down as if it were a rain of Light!

Artifact—Bow of Artemis!

"Where is he?"

"Divine Barrier being cracked!"

"In other words, everything must be completed within 300 seconds! Then retreat immediately!"

If Aaron were here, he would naturally tell Xisi that it is indeed not easy to deal with.

"Xisi... my head hurts a little!"

Although the entire Material Plane was supporting them for this operation, on average, everyone had a set of Legend equipment, and there were even Artifacts and legacy weapons!

And outside the Underworld plane, a massive Floating City had fully activated its concealment and evasion mode, orbiting the Underworld like a satellite.

The monster crawling under the lotus throne saw the intruders and immediately let out a howl, pouncing over.

Statues of Demons flew out from the Floating City like escort planes, and immediately after, brilliant Magic light lit up on his staff!

Legend Spell—Summon Four Elemental Legions!

In the blink of an eye, powerful Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water elementals arrived on the battlefield, among which were even mixed in Legend-level Elders!

Countless Demons and the elemental army merged, turning into a vast ocean, drowning the Di Ting divine dogs one by one...

The mechanical voice of the Tower Spirit came from the core of the Floating City.

Although the Underworld had long been sealed by Vipasyin Buddha, Aaron was clearly an anomaly.

"According to my research, the meaning of these two lines of text is—'He is as quiet as the earth, his wisdom is unfathomable'!"

At this moment, the Great Arcanist Anthony suddenly spoke.

Although they were confident in surrounding and killing a Saint who had fallen into the Material Plane, this was completely different from breaking into a Divine Kingdom and forcibly killing a deity's true form at full strength!

"Anything else?"

Bang!

The +3 Lute smashed down, hitting the young Chosen's forehead squarely!

The young girl, who was murmuring scriptures, went 'duang' and fell down.

Now, however, there was only sighing and regret.

Hmm...

The next moment, Anthony pointed ahead: "There is a Divine Kingdom located within the Underworld... The Chosen of the Weave Goddess is trapped inside the Divine Kingdom."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still sat cross-legged on the golden lotus, only with his hands pressed together.

In the void, there was suddenly the sound of Sanskrit chanting, resounding all around:

"If hell is not empty, I vow not to become a Buddha!"

Still very busy, really sorry, I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning as well, hmm, striving to resume normal updates the day after tomorrow.
