Chapter 912

Even if someone truly possessed the same methods as Luo Fu.

To convert the current Ancestor Minghe, another problem must be faced: Luo Fu's will.

Ancestor Minghe has already been converted by Luo Fu; to convert him again, one must vie for dominance with Luo Fu, and thus confront Luo Fu's will directly.

Even with the strength realm of the Earth Store Bodhisattva, even if he could bypass the blood sea's origin, he could never oppose Luo Fu's will.

Ziziziz~~~~

The Sanskrit chants penetrated the Blood God Child's body, but not only did they have no effect, they provoked resistance from the blood sea's origin—pure blood sea power surged within the Blood God Child and corroded all the Sanskrit chants to nothing.

Seeing this, the Earth Store Bodhisattva's eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment.

Chanting the Earth Store Sutra to convert the Blood God Child was merely a desperate, last-ditch attempt by the Earth Store Bodhisattva.

Deep inside, the Earth Store Bodhisattva had never held much hope for it.

If the Blood Sea Array were so easily broken, Ancestor Minghe could never have resisted the Saints.

Although the Earth Store Sutra had no effect on the Blood God Child, the Earth Store Bodhisattva did not stop chanting—he shifted his focus from the Blood God Child to the believers and evil spirits within his Buddha Land.

Vast amounts of Sanskrit chants merged into the Buddha Land.

Boom!

The next moment, the entire Buddha Land suddenly burst into violent flames.

Not only the Buddha Land, but even the believers and evil spirits within it burned as well.

This burning was not the kind where Buddha light manifested as fire—it was true burning.

The Buddha Land had truly been corrupted by the Blood Sea Array; with the Earth Store Bodhisattva's methods, he could not stop it.

If this continued, the Buddha Land would eventually be entirely corroded.

Better to risk everything—turn the entire Buddha Land into kindling, perhaps enough to shatter the Blood Sea Array.

Using believers as kindling was not something only Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin did—it was practiced by all of the Wufu Sect.

This was the final resort of every Wufu disciple.

"Again this trick—using believers as kindling. All of the Wufu Sect should die."

Seeing the Earth Store Bodhisattva unhesitatingly ignite all his believers, Ancestor Minghe's eyes flickered with a shadow of revulsion.

He had been completely converted by Luo Fu, his body infused with Luo Fu's will.

Thus, upon seeing the Earth Store Bodhisattva's actions, Ancestor Minghe inexplicably felt a surge of aversion.

This is the horror of being forcibly converted into a believer: all converted believers become extensions of the converter's will, utterly losing their selves.

Forced conversion and voluntary devotion are two entirely different concepts.

The former are mere puppets; the latter retain free will and may choose whether to continue their faith.

Hua la!

The waters of the blood sea began to churn violently, surging in vast quantities into the Buddha Land, attempting to drown it entirely and rescue the believers within.

Unfortunately, the speed of the blood sea's spread could not match the speed of the believers' self-immolation.

Shua!

At that moment, a dark black radiance suddenly appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the Blood Sea Array and illuminating the Buddha Land.

The believers touched by the dark light lost all devotion in their eyes, their faces now serene.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

A wave of cosmic law, as if ruling the entirety of Gai Jiuyou, surged forth—instantly, all the believers turned to smoke and vanished from the Buddha Land.

Immediately after, all the evil spirits did the same—freed from torment, their faces serene, then dissolving into smoke and disappearing.

In Gai Jiuyou, only one law can cause countless souls to turn to smoke in an instant: the Law of Reincarnation.

The root of Gai Jiuyou is the Dao of Reincarnation.

The Dao of Reincarnation naturally governs the entirety of Gai Jiuyou.

"So indeed, you have allied. I never expected that Pingxin Niangniang, who has always remained detached from worldly affairs, would one day join forces with Ancestor Minghe. Has the Wu Clan prepared to reemerge and replace the Wufu Sect's position?"

At the sight of the dark black radiance, the Earth Store Bodhisattva's pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with unprecedented confusion.

As the dominant force of the Wufu Sect in the underworld, the Earth Store Bodhisattva controlled many reincarnation quotas.

He had encountered fluctuations of the Dao of Reincarnation more than once, so he recognized at a glance that the force removing all his believers and evil spirits was the Dao of Reincarnation.

Pingxin Niangniang allying with Ancestor Minghe was no trivial matter.

Especially with Pingxin Niangniang herself acting—it was the first time in Wushuyuan Society.

The Earth Store Bodhisattva knew well that his battle with Ancestor Minghe had drawn the attention of all forces in the Three Realms.

Precisely because of this, he had spoken those words earlier, deliberately linking Ancestor Minghe and Pingxin Niangniang's alliance to Pingxin Niangniang's underlying Wu Clan.

The Wu Clan had once ruled Gai Jiuyou; if they truly intended to reemerge, it would inevitably affect the interests of all forces in the Three Realms within Gai Jiuyou.

Although the Earth Store Bodhisattva had no evidence, under these circumstances, for the Wufu Sect, the muddier the waters, the better.

Only then could the attention of the Three Realms' major forces be diverted as much as possible away from the Wufu Sect.

Unfortunately, the Earth Store Bodhisattva's intent had not succeeded—at least not yet.

After he mentioned the Wu Clan, the major forces of the Three Realms did not shift their gaze any further.

It must be said that the Wufu Sect had expanded far too much in recent years, seizing far too many interests.

Compared to the possible reemergence of the Wu Clan, the major forces of the Three Realms seemed more concerned with how to divide up the Wufu Sect's power.

Seeing that his words had drawn no attention, the Earth Store Bodhisattva's heart sank once more to the bottom.

Of course, what truly plunged the Earth Store Bodhisattva into despair was his clear perception that, just now, a familiar aura had descended upon the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

The owner of that aura was someone the Earth Store Bodhisattva knew very well: his old rival, Yuanshi Tianzun.

While Ancestor Minghe was besieging him, Yuanshi Tianzun had seized control of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Clearly, the major forces of the Three Realms had reached a tacit understanding on how to divide the Wufu Sect's strength.
