Chapter 877: Gather Billions of Believers! Cleanse the Battlefield!

As a human, Luo Fu could not stand idly by and watch so many of his kind die before his eyes.

Shua!

With a casual sweep of his right hand, the three thousand Buddha Realms, along with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian, flew toward Luo Fu.

As they drew nearer, the immense three thousand Buddha Realms gradually shrank until they were no larger than a palm, settling into Luo Fu's hand.

A soft white light rose from Luo Fu's palm and sank into the three thousand Buddha Realms.

The rising white light was a purifying light.

Under its illumination, the billions of believers within the three thousand Buddha Realms quickly regained consciousness.

Seeing the believers' eyes regain color, Luo Fu's face flickered with a faint smile.

With a mere thought, he sent the three thousand Buddha Realms directly into the Chaos Pearl.

He then sent a mental message to Ancestor Minghe within the Chaos Pearl, instructing him to dispatch his Asuras to soothe the billions of believers within the three thousand Buddha Realms.

As for the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Nine-Petaled Jin Lian, Luo Fu casually collected them—he did not value these two primordial spiritual treasures, but since they were free gifts, why not take them?

Having finished this, Luo Fu manipulated the Chaos Pearl to sweep away all surrounding energies, erasing every trace that might reveal his true combat power.

Shua!

After clearing all residual energies, Luo Fu dispersed the Sword Dao Great Array that had enveloped the area.

Gazing at the boundless chaotic void, Luo Fu did not immediately head to the Journey to the West World; instead, he fell into thought.

"The Ten Thousand Buddha Array of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin is indeed clever—linking past, present, and future as one. I must admit, these two saints possess considerable insight."

Though he despised Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, Luo Fu still held great respect for the Ten Thousand Buddha Array.

Even he had drawn no small amount of inspiration from it.

His true spirit had already been severed from the time river of the Primordial World, making it far simpler to summon his past and future selves.

He could similarly emulate the Ten Thousand Buddha Array to form a Three Talents Array.

Past, present, and future united as one would greatly enhance his combat power.

For Luo Fu, who was about to face Ancestor Hongjun, any increase in combat power was critically important.

"With Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin already dead, all I need to do now is prevent Ancestor Hongjun from reviving them—this reversal of the Journey to the West will then be complete."

Thinking of this, Luo Fu felt a wave of relief.

This Journey to the West had gone remarkably smoothly so far.

Without drawing Ancestor Hongjun's attention, he had effortlessly slain Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

With their deaths, the Fomen will surely collapse, and the so-called Journey to the West calamity becomes a joke.

The Journey to the West calamity is far more than merely retrieving scriptures.

Those are merely surface appearances.

But no matter what hidden schemes lie beneath, if the Fomen falls, the Journey to the West calamity has failed.

For the Journey to the West calamity has one core element: the eastward spread of the Fomen.

If the Fomen is already destroyed, there can be no eastward spread of Buddhism.

As long as the Fomen is destroyed, the task of reversing the calamity is accomplished.

Successfully and effortlessly slaying Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin was, for Luo Fu, undoubtedly a cause for joy.

"Sun Wukong's fate has been utterly altered by me—yet unfortunately, I can only change the fate of Sun Wukong in this timeline."

Altering Sun Wukong's fate fulfilled a childhood wish of Luo Fu's; he was deeply satisfied with this.

But the moment he thought of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, his cheerfulness dimmed.

The Heavens and Myriad Worlds contain countless parallel timelines, and thus countless Sun Wukongs.

He could alter the fate of Sun Wukong in this timeline, but not the fate of Sun Wukongs in other timelines.

"If only there were versions of me in all these timelines—just as there are versions of Ancestor Hongjun in the parallel timelines of the Primordial World—if I existed in every other timeline, then I could change the fate of every Sun Wukong."

A thought arose in Luo Fu's mind.

"Wait—the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, other versions of me… this might not be impossible…"

Just as Luo Fu entertained this hope—that countless parallel timelines each contained a version of himself—a flash of inspiration suddenly pierced his mind.

Riding this inspiration, Luo Fu's ultimate comprehension began to spin wildly; information from the Primordial World, the Journey to the West World, and the Heavens and Myriad Worlds surged through his mind at blinding speed.

After a moment, a dawning clarity slowly rose in Luo Fu's heart.

"So this is where my path to Hunyuan lies!"

At this moment, all confusion vanished from Luo Fu's eyes.

After absorbing and refining countless primordial divine demons' remains, Luo Fu's accumulation had long since reached its limit.

Not even ordinary Celestial Dao-level cultivators could match the depth of his foundation.

Yet despite such immense accumulation, Luo Fu had not yet attained Hunyuan.

It was not that he could not—he simply chose not to.

He wished to forge a Hunyuan path unique to himself.

He named this path the Mythic Immortal Path.

Even when advancing to Great Luo Jinxian, Luo Fu had already begun forging his own path.

Ordinary cultivators, upon breaking through to Great Luo Jinxian, merely engrave their mastered laws into their Primordial Spirit to complete their transformation.

Luo Fu was different—he, upon breaking through to Great Luo Jinxian, reclaimed every trace of his true spirit's imprint that the Primordial World's time river had stripped away.

This step was normally required only when breaking through to Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian.

Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian differs from saints: saints exist by relying on the Celestial Dao, while Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian exist independently of the Celestial Dao. Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian already possess the ability to leave their world and explore the chaos.

In other words, after becoming a Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian, one and one's world become two separate entities—not a relationship of belonging.

To achieve this, one must first reclaim the true spirit imprints left behind in the world.

Only by achieving true spirit unity can one break through to become a Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian.

Achieving this is not easy.

Every person's true spirit imprint exists within the Changhe.

To achieve true spirit unity, one must retrieve one's own true spirit imprint from the Changhe.

Moreover, the world itself does not wish for anyone to escape its control, and will impose certain obstacles.

If attaining Dao comprehension beyond the Hunyuan layer is the first trial to becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian, then peeling away the true spirit imprint is the second trial—only with true spirit unity can one imprint the Dao and fully master a single Dao.

For a Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian, these are not easy feats, yet Luo Fu accomplished them effortlessly.
