Chapter 825: Chapter 421 The Method to Kill Hongjun

All these people were being monitored by the Mirage Dragon within the magic treasures they received from the Black Mirror. Indeed, the Mirage Dragon didn’t control them but merely used the magic treasures to monitor their every action and thought.

Since they weren’t controlled, the Heavenly Court couldn’t spot anything unusual about these people unless they specifically searched for it.

As a result, the Mirage Dragon gained a substantial amount of intelligence, which was then passed on to the Black Mirror Army. With this information, the Black Mirror Army targeted and encircled the Heavenly Court’s troops.

In a short time, the Heavenly Court’s army suffered heavy losses.

However, after destroying those magic treasures, the Heavenly Court finally began to regain some ground.

Yet the vast expanse of the starscape had already fallen into the hands of the Black Mirror by eighty percent.

The Black Mirror Army, like a plague of locusts, possessed and assimilated every living being in its path...

At the same time, nearly one-third of the Earthly Immortal Realm had been occupied by the Black Mirror, and the remaining two-thirds were engulfed in warfare, with the Black Mirror hunting down every major secret realm.

Under the leadership of the owners’ Black Avatars, all the Guardian Arrays of these secret realms were rendered ineffective. Targeted one after another, numerous secret realms fell...

It could be said that, in the course of a year, the whole world had been ignited by the flames of war.

Creatures between heaven and earth suffered, and countless spirits cried in injustice...

The Netherworld too was invaded, but with the Nether River Patriarch, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, and several Ancestor Witches holding the fort, the cycle of karma and reincarnation was still maintained for the time being. However, it had become extremely hard for incoming spirits to enter the Netherworld, they were usually hunted on the Road to the Netherworld... forcing Xuanming to oversee the Ghost Gate, unable to leave even half a step.

Qin Shou looked at the handfuls of information in his hand, his eyes filled with a desperate struggle.

Seeing this, Chang’e sighed, rubbed Qin Shou’s temples, and said, "Who gave this to you? Didn’t the Heavenly Court stop sending messages this way a year ago?"

Qin Shou said, "I don’t know, messages keep flying in every day."

Chang’e said, "This..."

Meanwhile, atop that great tree of the Black Mirror!

Wu stood at the treetop, with Nvwa, Amitabha, and Zhunti Daoist standing below him!

Of course, these three were Black Avatars, not their true selves.

Zhunti Daoist said, "Master, we are short-handed for a war against them."

Amitabha said, "Indeed, after Pangu created the world, his energy, vitality, and spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, who were born Saints. They never had to kill three corpses, and we don’t have their Black Avatars on our side. As for Lady Houtu, she originated from the blood and flesh essence of Pangu’s physical body and was one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches to begin with. The Ancestor Witches cultivate without pursuing the Heavenly Dao, they don’t kill the three corpses, nor do they cut off evil thoughts, so when she later transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation to purify all living beings, our Black Mirror didn’t have any information about her. Now that she has become a Saint, it is even less likely that her Black Avatar would appear here."

Nvwa said, "Those who became Saints later cannot escape their three corpses calamity, but what a pity that these people either became Saints innately or didn’t practice overcoming the tribulation of the three corpses. Sigh... The Black Mirror is fundamentally flawed, life can’t attain sainthood here, otherwise we wouldn’t be missing so many Saints. Although we three have gained strength closer to them with our teacher’s help. But a Saint remains a Saint, indestructible in the realm of Saints, and even if we can suppress, we can’t kill them."

Wu said with a faint smile, "That’s why we have been inside the Black Mirror for so many years, not venturing out. However, the result of my command years ago to you to ambush the Haotian Heavenly Court and obliterate the Haotian Realm in one night has finally borne fruit."

The Black Nvwa, puzzled, said, "Master, I never understood why the destruction of a mere Haotian Heavenly Court should matter much?"

Wu nodded and said, "The Haotian Heavenly Court and the Haotian Realm may not matter much, but it was a good reminder. A reminder to Hongjun that we’re still here! So many years have passed, and Hongjun is finally ready to act against us."

"What?!" Black Zhunti Daoist jumped in fright and said, "He made his move?"

Wu nodded and said, "That’s right, the world believes that it was our Black Mirror Army who invaded the Righteous Realm first. In truth, we were merely fighting a battle with our backs to the wall!"

Everyone had a look of shock on their faces, looking at Wu in disbelief.

Wu said, "This is the cause that led to the destruction of the Haotian Heavenly Court and the Haotian Realm all those years ago; it is the fruit borne of those actions!"

Black Amitabha Buddha said, "Master, you knew this was an inevitable outcome, didn’t you? Then why?"

Wu said, "I, like Hongjun, am an avatar of the Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao is most merciless; it doesn’t care whether it is the dark side or the light side that controls Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t favor him too much. I can’t kill him, and he can’t annihilate me!

But we both want to annihilate each other.

Haotian was just a catalyst, which could allow us to seize the initiative, so I went ahead and did it.

I used this example to show him that I could cause him some trouble and force him to think of ways to deal with me.

As the saying goes, whoever ties the bell on the tiger must take it off. In his quest to destroy me, he would inevitably need to delve into the Heavenly Dao to find a way to do it.

But for years he didn’t dare, for if he did, I would have destroyed his world!

Although he could rebuild order, it’s like a child’s painstakingly built sandcastle. Although it’s worthless, and one wouldn’t care if they left, he surely wouldn’t want it destroyed while he was playing with it.

So to make the best of both worlds, he came up with a way to use the power of the Heavenly Dao, the remnants of the Demon and Witch Clans, to revive a group of people who should have been dead.

He also enlightened Houtu, allowing her to enter the Nether River and gather the last trace of Pangu’s bloodline, thereby becoming a Saint through the merits added to her physical body.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches joined to become Pangu, and among the Saints, no one could match him in physical prowess—plus the saintly bloodline of Houtu. Such a Pangu was even more powerful than the real Pangu! It can be said to be the most formidable physical body among the Saints.

Moreover, if Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi join forces, they possess nearly the power of Saints as well.

All these people together, and the three of you meddling in there, would likely end up pinned to the ground, unable to move. They can’t kill you, but they can certainly trap you.

This is the trap he has set!

Out of concern for my own dignity, I couldn’t possibly go and destroy the world in person, and you can’t do it either, so naturally, he is now at ease searching for a way to kill me within the Heavenly Dao."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped sharply, with cold sweat dripping down from their foreheads.

Black Amitabha Buddha said, "Master, then how shall we break this situation?"

Black Nuwa said, "Master, since you are so composed, surely you must already have a way to break this situation, right?"

Black Zhunti said, "I am slow-witted, Master, please enlighten me."

Wu nodded and said, "Of course, I have! Hongjun is very arrogant. He never thought of annihilating me in the past but kept me as his adversary for amusement. Little did he know, over these years I have been searching within the Heavenly Dao for a way to kill him! By the time he starts looking for a way to kill me, I had already found the means to kill him!"
