Chapter 223: The Netherworld Opens! Hongjun: These Ancestral Witches Don't Play by the Rules!

Upon hearing the voice of Houtu spreading across the four corners of the Great Desolation, all living beings were filled with curiosity.

They did not understand at all what this so-called Reincarnation was.

However, this voice was solemn and sacred, as if it contained some kind of indescribable power, causing all living beings to feel an unprecedented shock.

It also made all living beings feel that something of great importance was about to happen! At the same time, the various forces and powerful figures of the Great Desolation naturally heard this voice as well.

They could not help but look at each other, a trace of astonishment appearing in their eyes.

On Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West sighed softly and said, "I never expected that Lu Yun would open the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Great Desolation so quickly. Such courage is truly astonishing."

After she returned, she had actually guessed that if Houtu truly opened the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Great Desolation would inevitably undergo a drastic change! It might even alarm Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, upon second thought, she suddenly felt: this is also good. If Lu Yun could withstand this matter, it would prove that her previous choice to join the Human Race was correct.

If Lu Yun could not withstand it... then he would likely have no chance to launch the great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, and the agreement between her and Lu Yun would naturally be void.

At Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuanzi, who was beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree, also wore a look of astonishment at this moment.

Zhenyuanzi muttered to himself, "Opening Reincarnation... this is something even the Saints have never thought of! I never expected that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would actually come up with such a magnificent feat?"

He could not help but take out the Earth Book to investigate the Nether Blood Sea.

As a result, upon looking, he discovered that Lu Yun and Nuwa were actually in the Nether Blood Sea at this moment, and were right by Houtu's side.

Zhenyuanzi's heart could not help but stir: Could it be that Lu Yun is also involved in this matter?

He considered it for a moment and suddenly made a decision: "This is a grand event for the Great Desolation; I cannot miss it!"

Thus, he set off immediately, heading in the direction of the Nether Blood Sea.

At the same time, the gazes of other powerful figures across the Great Desolation could not help but turn involuntarily toward the direction of the Nether Blood Sea, their hearts filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Even Di Jun, who was in seclusion cultivating on the Sun Star, was alarmed by this sudden voice.

He opened his eyes abruptly, a trace of shock and suspicion flashing through them: "Six Paths of Reincarnation? What on earth is this Houtu playing at?"

Di Jun muttered to himself, his brows locked in a frown.

He felt uneasy in his heart and truly could no longer calm his mind to continue his seclusion, so he could only temporarily set the matter aside, leave his place of seclusion, and prepare to go out and ask Taiyi and the others what had happened.

Di Jun quickly arrived at the Sun Star Palace. Although he was anxious, he still maintained the dignity of an emperor on his face.

Upon entering the Sun Star Palace, he saw that Taiyi, Baize, and the other Ten Great Demon Sages were already gathered together; it was clear they had also heard Houtu's voice and were discussing the matter.

Seeing Di Jun arrive, Baize and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Taiyi, however, looked ashamed and said, "Big Brother, Taiyi is incompetent, still letting people disturb your seclusion."

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Di Jun waved his hand lightly and then asked directly: "Regarding what Houtu said about opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation, do you know the details?"

Taiyi said in a deep voice, "Big Brother, we have also just learned of this matter, and the specific situation is not yet clear. But this matter is of great importance; if the Twelve Ancestral Witches truly open the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Nether Blood Sea, it will be a massive transformation for the entire Great Desolation."

Baize also added, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the life and death of all living beings in the Great Desolation, and we of the Demon Race cannot remain aloof. We must closely monitor the movements of the Nether Blood Sea and be ready with a response at any time."

Di Jun agreed with this very much, and immediately sat down on his throne, observing the situation in the Nether Blood Sea with the others via a Treasure Mirror.

When he saw that Lu Yun and Nuwa were also present, he became even more certain that this matter was definitely not simple! Fortunately, he had not been negligent, otherwise, he would not even know what might have happened!...

In the Nether Blood Sea.

Lu Yun, Nuwa, and the others naturally sensed that countless gazes from the Great Desolation were converging toward them at this moment.

However, they did not care.

After all, there was nothing shameful about this matter; in fact, they were eager for more people to witness it together.

Everyone's gazes were focused on Houtu.

Under the gaze of all, Houtu had already made preparations, and at this moment, she suddenly lifted her hand gently, and a purple lotus flower appeared in the palm of her hand.

In Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun widened his eyes abruptly: "Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus! How is this possible?!"

He naturally knew that this object was the key to opening the Netherworld, but he never expected that Houtu would actually find this item.

In this way, she could now directly open the Netherworld, open the Six Paths of Reincarnation within the Netherworld, and even revive the Earthly Dao! Wouldn't all his previous schemes as Hongjun be rendered futile?! "No!"

"I absolutely cannot let this happen!"

Hongjun stood up all at once, intending to set off for the Nether Blood Sea.

However, his movements quickly froze.

Because the movements of Houtu and the others were simply too fast!

It was as if they had practiced it countless times in advance; the moment Houtu took out the Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus, the other Ancestral Witches all acted together, coordinating with Houtu to completely unleash its power.

Consequently, the seal of the Netherworld was broken in an instant!

"This matter was definitely premeditated!"

Hongjun suddenly thought of how Houtu and the other Ancestral Witches had been taken away by Lu Yun for a long time, and concluded that this matter definitely had something to do with Lu Yun.

For a moment, Hongjun was so angry he gnashed his teeth, his heart filled with extreme fury, but at this moment he could only watch helplessly as the Netherworld was unsealed.

Above the Nether Blood Sea.

As the seal of the Netherworld was broken, a terrifying power erupted from within, shooting straight into the clouds.

"Boom—"

The entire Sea of Blood began to boil, as if something was about to break out of the sea.

"What happened?"

All the Asura Race were startled by this sudden commotion and became filled with panic and unease.

Fortunately, they soon heard the voice of Minghe Laozu: "Calm down!" For a moment, they all hurriedly shut their mouths, though their gazes all curiously looked toward the source of the vibration.

Minghe Laozu likewise looked toward that side with curiosity.

He had survived in this Nether Blood Sea for countless years, yet he had never discovered that such a secret was hidden within the Nether Blood Sea.

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, Houtu held the Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus and stood above the Sea of Blood, a resolute expression appearing on her face. She took a deep breath, then suddenly threw the purple lotus in her hand into the Sea of Blood.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire Sea of Blood seemed to be blown open, and a massive vortex rose from within, leading straight to the sky.

Inside the vortex, black aura and purple light intertwined, forming a strange and mysterious power.

"Netherworld, open!"

Houtu let out a loud shout; her voice seemed to traverse time and space, spreading throughout the entire Great Desolation. As her voice fell, a huge crack suddenly split open within the massive vortex, resembling a colossal portal.

Everyone who was watching this place was shocked to discover that behind that portal was clearly a unique space.

It was dark and deep, as if leading to an endless abyss, yet mysterious light could be faintly seen flickering within.

Just as the crowd was curiously observing, countless souls above the Nether Blood Sea suddenly seemed to have received some kind of summons, flocking toward that portal one after another.

Furthermore, even the wandering ghosts from other parts of the Primordial Land were rapidly gathering toward the Nether Blood Sea!

Seeing this scene, the crowd became even more curious about this so-called Netherworld.

Afterward, they saw Houtu lead Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches as they suddenly rushed into the Netherworld.

Lu Yun, Nuwa, and Minghe naturally followed closely behind.

The probing gazes from various parties in the outside world also followed them into the Netherworld.

Inside the Netherworld, the scene was vastly different from the outside world. It was dim and lightless here, with thick Nether aura permeating the surroundings, as if even the air were filled with heaviness and oppression. In this vast and boundless space, countless souls could be faintly seen wandering; they were either sad or happy, angry or sorrowful, each carrying the memories and emotions from their lives.

Upon entering, Houtu and Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches dispersed, each finding a suitable position, preparing to begin their grand undertaking.

Houtu flew directly toward the center of the Netherworld; that was the most mysterious and core place of the entire Netherworld, and also the place where the Nether aura was most dense.

When Houtu arrived at the center of the Netherworld, she took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus, closed her eyes, and began to communicate with the Reincarnation Great Dao Law within her body.

"Hum!"

As her magic power surged, a powerful aura emanated from her body, gradually merging with the core of the Netherworld.

Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from Houtu's body, shooting straight into the clouds, illuminating the entire Netherworld.

Under the illumination of this light, the crowd saw Houtu's figure gradually merge with the core of the Netherworld, as if she had become a part of the Netherworld.

Immediately following, a powerful law force was released from Houtu's body, beginning to weave complex patterns within the Netherworld.

These patterns emitted mysterious light, gradually condensing into six huge halos, representing the Heavenly Dao, Humanity, Asura Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao, respectively.

This was the Six Paths of Reincarnation! With the opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the entire Netherworld seemed to be injected with new life, beginning to operate according to the order of Reincarnation.

Countless wandering souls began to be attracted into these six halos, entering different reincarnations according to the Karma and causality of their past lives.

Minghe Laozu stood at the edge of the Netherworld, witnessing the entire process of the opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the shock in his heart beyond words.

As the master of the Nether Blood Sea, he had never imagined that such an earth-shattering secret was hidden beneath this sea of blood. At this moment, he saw countless souls flowing through the Six Paths of Reincarnation and felt that vast and mysterious power of Reincarnation.

He turned his head to look at Lu Yun, his eyes filled with admiration and curiosity. He had not expected that Lu Yun could actually facilitate such a grand undertaking; this boldness and wisdom made him have to admire him.

At the same time, he no longer doubted what Lu Yun had said previously. After all, according to the current situation, Houtu was about to obtain massive merit; even if it were just piled up with merit, it could allow her to become a Saint! From this, it could be seen that Lu Yun's promise to let him prove the Dao and become a Saint was likely not just empty talk! Thinking of this, Minghe Laozu's mood became even more excited.

The members of the Transmigration Chat Group also witnessed this historic moment through Lu Yun's live stream.

Yun Yao: "So shocking! Even though I had already witnessed it once in Big Brother Lu Yun's Qiankun World, it still feels very shocking!"

Jiang Ye: "Indeed, Big Brother Lu Yun has once again proven his extraordinary nature! He has not only brought an opportunity for the rise of the Human Race but also brought the possibility of change to the entire Great Desolation!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Big Brother Lu Yun is truly awesome; no matter what suggestions we give him, he can actually pull them off!"

Ming Xi: "That's right, I am looking forward to Big Brother Lu Yun's future achievements even more now!"

Qiu Wanli: "What about Hongjun? I thought he would jump out to stop it, who knew he wouldn't even appear!"

Lin Chen: "Is there a possibility that Hongjun didn't have time to stop it?"

Lei Hong: "Haha, well said! The movements of Houtu and the others just now were simply caught people off guard!"

Fang Xu: "Hongjun: These Ancestral Witches don't follow the martial code, actually coming to ambush an old man like me!"

You Fang: "Pfft! Big Brother Fang's words are too funny, I can even picture it!"

Lin Yan: "It's just a pity that we couldn't see it with our own eyes!"

Qin Ling: "Rest assured, Hongjun definitely won't sit idly by; I estimate he will appear very soon!"

At the same time, the Great Desolation heaven and earth also felt this powerful fluctuation of power.

In the sky, the originally calm and waveless Chaos Qi began to churn, as if responding to the changes in the Netherworld. On the earth, mountains and rivers also seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, beginning to undergo subtle changes.

All living beings in the outside world witnessed all of this, and none were not shocked.

They knew that the opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was not just a change to the Netherworld, but a major transformation for the entire Great Desolation heaven and earth.

From now on, the living beings of the Great Desolation would possess more perfect rules of life and death reincarnation, and their fates would also undergo huge changes because of this.

Some living beings felt joy, because from then on, even if they died, as long as their souls remained, they would have a chance at reincarnation and rebirth.

There were also living beings who felt anger, because to them, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was also a shackle upon them! This shackle required them to reach at least the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to transcend! This was undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing for many powerful living beings.

Especially for the Demon Race, they were already mortal enemies with the Wu Clan, and now their fates were to be governed by the Wu Clan; the discomfort in their hearts could be imagined.
