Chapter 1008: Chapter 74: The Era of Great Conflict [Two in One]

This was the first time Evil Ksitigarbha truly felt fear, he had always considered the fearful thoughts of others as a wonderful experience, but only when it arose within himself did he understand its depth.

In the endless years past, he had devoured the spiritual energy of more than one world, leaving them desolate. As a demon from the Upper Realm, his favorite endeavor was to find the entrances to Skyroads in the lower realms, dive in, consume everything, and then leave. These lower realms were territories left by supreme beings after their fall, and devouring them would greatly elevate his own power.

Skyroads opened rarely, only likely when a cultivator attempted to transcend calamity and ascend. Otherwise, it was when someone in the lower realms summoned a Heavenly Demon, which he could use as an opportunity to descend. Of course, this was even rarer than ascension, as the spells to summon Heavenly Demons were not spread among the lower realms.

The summoning spells on the Far West Continent should have fallen to the lower realm along with Shenxu, only to later be found by chance. When Evil Ksitigarbha came to this place, he thought it was a great opportunity for himself.

Yet this place in the Mortal Realm presented him with numerous tribulations.

When he first landed, he sensed something was amiss. Normally, the cultivational limits of the lower realms should have been at the Seventh Realm, and his arrival should have been utterly overpowering. However, here cultivators of the Eighth Realm were commonplace, and there were Divine Artifacts in the world, so he could no longer behave recklessly as before. If it had only been the Eighth Realm, it might have been okay, as they still couldn’t contend with him. But after he sank the Far West Continent, a true Ninth Realm Godly being was born.

Actually, Evil Ksitigarbha was somewhat dumbfounded.

Is this truly a lower realm?

Why would such high-level cultivators emerge here, when the Ninth Realm in the upper realms is already a transcendent status?

Fortunately, the Nameless Ancient Buddha could not kill him, only managing to separate his soul from his body, suppressing them in the Yin and Yang Two Realms. This endless confinement might have been even more painful than death. But Evil Ksitigarbha endured, knowing the world was vast and as long as he lived, there would always be hope.

Sure enough, his hope eventually arrived.

Due to his own greed, Venerable Wanfa released Evil Ksitigarbha, hoping to enlist his help to assassinate the Demon God. He harbored thoughts of becoming godly with the powers of this realm, and Evil Ksitigarbha contemplated devouring the Mortal Realm, so they struck a deal easily.

But they both had their own hidden agendas. Once the Demon God was actually killed, the first thing Evil Ksitigarbha planned to do was to eliminate all the Limiters in this Mortal Realm to avoid the situation where someone suddenly ascended to godhood as before.

The Demon God was the weakest godly being in the history of the Mortal Realm, with its origin power so reduced it almost fell, attached to an underdeveloped Heaven Devouring Beast physical body, lacking any battle skills, with a fragile will...

The Heavenly Demon’s combat strength was nearly at the Ninth Realm, and logically, he should have been victorious.

But who could have expected that this little creature could boost its fighting power by drinking alcohol?

Three bowls just past the post, right?

Moreover, the Demon God’s sudden burst of fearless aggression truly shocked Evil Ksitigarbha. Even the old Nameless Ancient Buddha never had such a ferocious resolve, fighting with a do-or-die attitude!

This was a real threat of death.

The wheel of dark gold, mingled with Chaos, rose higher and higher over Shu Mountain, and no one could lend a helping hand. Either Tuntun’s origin would burn out first, or Evil Ksitigarbha’s Primordial Spirit would be completely devoured by the Demon God, leaving no third outcome.

After an indeterminate amount of time, when all the people of the Four Seas and Nine Continents had gathered around this sun, the outcome finally unfolded.

The black sun clanked violently from the middle and then exploded with a roar, and though it was thousands of feet high in the sky, the residual blast flattened the Shu Mountain Peaks on impact. After the recent rebuild following Penglai’s attack on the mountain, the newly restored gate of Shu Mountain was once again reduced to a valley...

Shu Mountain turned into Shu Basin.

Under the bright light, even those miles away couldn’t open their eyes, and only after a long while did the brilliance begin to fade.

Chu Liang hurriedly looked up and called out, "Tuntun!"

...

Evil Ksitigarbha’s Primordial Spirit and physical body were both gone, and a faint white figure fell through the air, which he caught in one move.

He saw Tuntun’s form turn into a phantom, with tiny golden specks flying upward, gradually dispersing. As the specks flurried like snow, her body became increasingly ethereal.

"The Demon God has ultimately lost," Baize landed beside him, checking Tuntun’s condition with a somber expression. "Her origin is too weak, it simply couldn’t withstand such depletion."

Indeed, Tuntun had been at a disadvantage. Her origin was higher quality than Evil Ksitigarbha’s, but hers was too weak. After countless reductions of the Demon God’s origin, it was still a long way from full recovery.

Although the fall of a Demon God could be a great boon for someone on the brink like her, given Tuntun had just fought on the side of Shu Mountain, she really couldn’t feel happy this time.

Moreover, it was uncertain when a new Ninth Realm might emerge, but the threat of Evil Ksitigarbha was already pressing.

However, the only piece of good news was that even if Evil Ksitigarbha survived, he must have been severely injured and would likely take a long time to recover. If he had any strength left, he would definitely choose to kill Baize, one of the Limiters present, first.

It just remains unknown how much time is left for humanity.

"Tuntun..." Chu Liang felt the weight in his palm growing lighter, unable to halt the slipping away of her life force, and even transferring spiritual power did not work.
