Chapter 556: A Fragment of Origin! The Shaking Six Paths of Reincarnation

Such a Luo Fu, wherever he appears, stirs up a storm.

To Sister Houtu, who seeks peace and quiet, Luo Fu is a great nuisance.

How could Sister Houtu possibly welcome such a nuisance's visit?

The reason she sent Xingtian to meet him was to have Xingtian find some excuse to simply send Luo Fu away.

But Sister Houtu never imagined Xingtian would be so reckless as to directly fight Luo Fu.

And he even fully revealed his identity and his Great Demon true body to Luo Fu.

This forced Sister Houtu to personally meet Luo Fu.

Luo Fu said nothing, but extended his right hand and lightly swept it, sealing off the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This time, Luo Fu used his full strength, ensuring that even the Heavenly Dao could not detect his conversation with Sister Houtu in the short term.

What he intended to tell Sister Houtu next involved secrets too shocking.

If leaked, Ancestor Hongjun would appear here the next instant.

Seeing Luo Fu's action, Sister Houtu's eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.

With her insight, she naturally recognized that Luo Fu had just sealed the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But Sister Houtu did not understand why Luo Fu was so cautious—why seal the Six Paths of Reincarnation just to speak.

Moreover, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was her domain.

Here, even a Saint could not peer in.

Luo Fu's action seemed utterly unnecessary.

Yet Sister Houtu did not stop him; she chose to let it be.

At the same time, her regard for Luo Fu rose another level.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation were formed from Houtu's body; in a sense, Sister Houtu herself was the true spirit born from Houtu.

When Luo Fu cast a spell upon the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it was as if he cast it upon Sister Houtu's own body.

The owner of a body naturally knows every change upon it.

Precisely because of this, Sister Houtu sensed the profundity of the technique Luo Fu had just used.

This time, what needed sealing was the Heavenly Dao's gaze.

Within the Three Realms, sealing the Heavenly Dao's gaze without triggering it was no simple matter.

Thus, Luo Fu had not held back—he had unleashed his full power.

With Luo Fu's realm, when he fully unleashed the profundity of the Great Dao, even a true Hunyuan powerhouse would feel ashamed in comparison.

Sister Houtu was not a Hunyuan powerhouse; she was only half a Hunyuan powerhouse.

Due to the vast gap in Great Dao comprehension, Sister Houtu could not understand Luo Fu's technique—she only sensed a faint profundity.

Yet even this faint profundity, in Sister Houtu's eyes, was no less than a Saint's technique.

Yes, a Saint's technique!

Luo Fu was not a Saint—this Sister Houtu could confirm with one hundred percent certainty.

Within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, no one could disguise their identity before her. She was very confident in this.

A non-Saint wielding a Saint's technique—she had never seen such a person before.

"Profound Great Dao comprehension, a terrifying physical body that crushes Xingtian head-on, the Nine Opening Heaven Forms, and just now—the Saint's technique—who exactly is this Luo Fu?"

Sister Houtu's doubts multiplied.

Though Luo Fu had appeared in the Three Realms for less than half a day, he had left too many mysteries.

Fortunately, Luo Fu did not let Sister Houtu's confusion linger.

After sealing the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Luo Fu did not explain.

Instead, he flipped his right hand and summoned two spheres—one earth-yellow, the other deep black.

Hearing is false; seeing is true. No explanation is as powerful as direct experience.

"The authority of the Six Paths of Reincarnation—why do you have a fragment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's origin? How is this possible? The origin of the Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot be lost."

The instant she saw the deep black sphere in Luo Fu's hand, Sister Houtu's face changed drastically, and she blurted out in disbelief.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Journey to the West World was formed from Houtu's former body.

Sister Houtu was intimately familiar with the origin aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The moment the black sphere coalesced, she recognized it as a fragment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's authority.

But this was impossible. The authority of the Six Paths of Reincarnation had always been fully in her hands, never once leaked.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation was the core of the Earth Dao; as the Earth Dao Saint and the creator of the Six Paths of Reincarnation,

Within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Sister Houtu was equivalent to Ancestor Hongjun, who had merged with the Dao.

But Sister Houtu had merged with the Earth Dao, while Ancestor Hongjun had merged with the Heavenly Dao—the Earth Dao's power was not as strong as the Heavenly Dao's.

Even so, the Earth Dao was one of the Three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Man—the supreme law of cosmic operation. Under the merged state of the Heavenly Dao, even a Saint could be suppressed by Sister Houtu.

Of course, only within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Only here in the Three Realms was the Earth Dao fully in control.

Outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, in other parts of the Underworld, Sister Houtu was equivalent to an Earth Dao Saint. Outside the Underworld, she was at most a half-step Saint.

The Earth Dao ultimately could not match the Heavenly Dao.

For other matters, Sister Houtu could not guarantee anything.

But regarding the authority of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she could guarantee with one hundred percent certainty that it had never been separated.

Yet the deep black bead in Luo Fu's hand was indeed formed from a fragment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's authority.

This, Sister Houtu could also confirm with one hundred percent certainty.

Boom—

For, the moment the deep black sphere appeared, the six colossal ten-thousand-zhang Xukongshi Gates behind Pingxin Niangniang suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

A powerful hunger for consumption emanated from the Xukongshi Gates.

This hunger targeted precisely the deep black sphere in Luo Fu's hand.

Faced with the uprising of the six Xukongshi Gates, Pingxin Niangniang was forced to divert part of her spirit to restrain them.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation concern the order of the Three Realms and must remain stable at all times; any tremor could cause chaos in the cycle of rebirth.

Maintaining the stable operation of the six Xukongshi Gates had already placed immense pressure on Pingxin Niangniang.

The Three Realms are still vast, and the number of sentient beings dwelling within them can only be counted in sands of the Ganges.

At every moment, countless beings die, and countless beings are born—each birth and death requires reincarnation.

All these beings' reincarnations rely entirely on the Six Paths of Reincarnation to function.

Every second, the volume of information the Six Paths of Reincarnation must process is terrifyingly unimaginable.

All of this requires Pingxin Niangniang to expend her spiritual energy to sustain.

Pingxin Niangniang's former self, Sister Houtu, was merely a Semi-Sage, not a Hunyuan Stronghold.
