Chapter 902: Sealed by the Heavenly Dao! Bombarding the Bombarding Lingshan Grand Array!

The Human Dao of the Primordial World had long been sealed off by the Heavenly Dao; even if one slaughtered countless living beings, it would not provoke any reaction from the Human Dao.

As a result, Wan Ling undoubtedly became the best kindling.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin pushed this point to the extreme, almost able to squeeze out every last bit of value from their believers.

The Western Continent of Cattle-Gift was already barren beyond compare, its earth-vein Qi shattered and chaotic; under normal circumstances, even if a Saint personally took action, it would be very difficult to lay out a decent mountain-protecting grand array.

Using believers as the power source to construct a mountain-protecting grand array was the substitute method the two Western Saints came up with.

Under normal circumstances, human effort could hardly resist the might of Heaven and Earth.

A grand array laid with believers as its root could hardly compare to one laid with the power of earth veins.

Yet in the hands of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, this point became an exception.

For Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, who were adept in the Dao of Salvation, as long as they were willing to expend effort, the number of believers they could save was nothing short of astronomical.

With such a vast foundation of believers, the mountain-protecting grand array they laid out was in no way inferior to one laid with the aid of earth-vein Qi.

More importantly, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin could squeeze out every last bit of value from their believers.

An ordinary believer, without cultivating, could possess extremely limited strength.

But if this mundane believer was willing to burn their flesh, soul, true spirit, and even past and future, the strength they could erupt with would be extremely powerful, even many times stronger than an ordinary cultivator.

Every Wan Ling, no matter how weak, harbored a certain potential within.

Especially within the true spirit, the hidden potential was even more considerable.

A true spirit was no ordinary thing; unless one was especially adept in the Dao of Creation, even a Quasi-Saint powerhouse could not create a true spirit.

Something even a Quasi-Saint could not create—how could it be summed up as mundane?

The Heavenly Dao is utterly impartial.

For every Wan Ling, from the moment of their birth, the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon them a share of potential.

If this potential could all be brought out, even a mundane person would have the chance to defy the heavens and change their fate.

However, most mundane folk, throughout their entire lives, could never bring out this share of potential.

Most mundane folk could only carry this potential with them as they continued the cycle of reincarnation.

It is worth mentioning that the potential hidden within the soul and true spirit is also one of the foundations that allows mundane lives to reincarnate.

If a mundane being truly exhausted this potential entirely and received no replenishment, that being would have its soul scattered, with no further possibility of reincarnation.

Of course, having one's soul scattered does not mean complete disappearance.

Even for a mundane being, its true spirit was very difficult to obliterate.

Even if the soul scattered, fragments of the true spirit would still remain.

With the passage of time, who could say there wouldn't come a day when it would be reborn anew.

If one regarded the true spirit as a being in itself, then that being's life was extraordinarily long.

Precisely because of this, every true spirit possessed extremely valuable potential.

What Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin burned when they used believers as kindling was precisely this potential.

They burned this potential utterly and completely.

Not only that, even the traces of the true spirit's existence—past, present, and future—were all sacrificed and burned together.

Once a believer used as kindling was burned dry, they would vanish completely from Heaven and Earth, without the slightest trace of their existence remaining.

This was the cruelty of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

They truly squeezed the value of their believers to the absolute limit, not sparing even the tiniest bit.

Precisely because of this method of exploitation, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin could, by burning believers, push the might of their mountain-protecting grand array to the extreme—far surpassing the mountain-protecting grand arrays of all other powers in the Three Realms.

If Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had not now perished, the mountain-protecting grand array of Bombarding Lingshan could be considered the most powerful mountain-protecting grand array in the Three Realms; unless a Saint took action, it simply could not be broken.

The current mountain-protecting grand array relies entirely on the accumulated incense and wish-power gathered previously to sustain itself; its might is not even one percent of its full strength.

It is only natural that it cannot withstand Sun Wukong's attacks.

Seeing Sun Wukong break through to the Quasi-Saint layer, transform into a thousand-zhang fierce ape, and bombard Bombarding Lingshan like a berserker, a trace of gratification flashed in Luo Fu's eyes.

Through his cultivation, Sun Wukong had truly begun to develop his own potential—more majestic and domineering than the Great Sage Equal to Heaven he had imagined in his previous life.

As the mountain-protecting grand array was about to be blasted open, Luo Fu's mind stirred, and he contacted Ancestor Minghe and Pingxin Niangniang.

Carving up the Liangdefu Sect was a feast for all the great powers of the Three Realms—how could Sun Wukong be allowed to bear the brunt of it alone?

Upon receiving Luo Fu's command, Ancestor Minghe and Pingxin Niangniang did not hesitate in the slightest and both chose to obey.

Whoosh!

The boundless Blood Sea began to boil, and large numbers of Asuras, under Ancestor Minghe's command, began to move.

One group of Asuras, together with the leading Asura King, headed toward the Western Continent of Cattle-Gift.

The other group of Asuras, led by Ancestor Minghe, entered Gai Jiuyou's Underworld.

Apart from Bombarding Lingshan, Gai Jiuyou's Underworld also had large numbers of Buddhist believers stationed there.

With the fall of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin and the chaos at Bombarding Lingshan, the Buddhist outpost in Gai Jiuyou's Underworld leapt up to replace Bombarding Lingshan as the strongest Buddhist outpost.

This was because within Gai Jiuyou's Underworld there was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The great supernatural beings left to guard Bombarding Lingshan had either been captured or had already fled.

Of the entire Liangdefu Sect, perhaps only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva remained as a great supernatural being.

Moreover, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was no weakling.

To have earned the trust of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin and be stationed in Gai Jiuyou's Underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's strength and methods were surely formidable.

Setting aside methods for the moment, in terms of strength, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was at least at the peak of Quasi-Saint.

Gai Jiuyou's Underworld was nothing like the Earth Immortal World or the Thirty-Three Heavens, which were so peaceful.

Because of Ancestor Hongjun's prohibition, and because of the Investiture of the Gods Wushuyuan Society, great supernatural beings rarely erupted into conflict within the Earth Immortal World or the Thirty-Three Heavens.

After the development of countless Wushuyuan Society, the interests of the Earth Immortal World and the Thirty-Three Heavens had mostly been divided up, and there was no need for large-scale conflicts to break out.

The Gai Jiuyou Underworld is different.

For any faction, the Gai Jiuyou Underworld is of great importance.

First, the Gai Jiuyou Underworld is the place of reincarnation.

The authority over reincarnation is something nearly all major factions desire to control.

Although major conflicts rarely occur across the Three Realms, minor conflicts frequently arise.

Each conflict may lead to casualties within one's own faction.

If one can control the reincarnation authority, then members of one's own faction, so long as their true spirit is preserved, may gain the possibility of reincarnation.
