Chapter 958: Chapter 958 The Great Tribulation Arrives

"Kṣitigarbha, from mythology!"

"Identity: Bodhisattva!"

"Cultivation: Complete Daluo Beginning Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: The Original Vows Sutra! Buddhist scriptures!"

"Divine Power: Compassionate Salvation! Single Mind with Dual Aspects! Vajra Six Paths!"

"Treasure: Six Realms Treasure Pearl!"

"Loyalty: 90 (Out of 100)!"

A loyalty of ninety pleased Qin Jun greatly.

Kṣitigarbha, who would not achieve Buddhahood until the Hells were empty, had not yet reached his limit, and could become even stronger.

With Kṣitigarbha present, the Netherworld was certain to fall into Qin Jun’s hands. The strongest Nether Emperor hadn’t even reached the mid-stage of the Daluo Beginning Immortal Realm, even with the power of the Netherworld at his disposal.

Thinking thus, Qin Jun’s mood brightened, and he said to Patriarch Bodhi with a smile, "I’ll leave this fellow in your care to educate for a while."

Nangong Yifeng was filled with shame and rage but was unable to express his anger toward Qin Jun.

It was as if any thoughts or actions against Qin Jun were out of his control.

"No problem," Patriarch Bodhi agreed readily, his curiosity about the Ancient Immortal Realm prompting him to learn more from Nangong Yifeng.

It wasn’t long before Patriarch Bodhi took Nangong Yifeng away.

Having subdued a warrior who had entered the realm of the sage and summoned a Kṣitigarbha at the complete Daluo Beginning Immortal Realm, Qin Jun was in high spirits and began to drink lightly in the pavilion.

Approximately the time it took an incense stick to burn later, Bai Ze entered the Imperial Garden led by the pipa.

"Your Majesty, this servant has failed, letting the Nether Emperor escape," Bai Ze said, bowing and cupping his hands. Qin Jun waved his hand, unconcerned, "It was intentional to let him escape."

"Why?" asked Bai Ze, puzzled.

Qin Jun laughed teasingly, "Rather than killing him outright, it’s better to gradually destroy his psychological defenses, letting him see destruction drawing closer to himself."

With these words, Bai Ze was enlightened and felt sympathy for the Nether Emperor.

She knew all too well how strong the Great Qin Celestial Court was now, sweeping through the Xuandang Great World was not a problem, as long as the Ancient Immortal Realm didn’t interfere.

"Speaking of which, since when have you become my beloved consort?"

Qin Jun looked at Bai Ze’s pretty face and teased, "I’ve already triumphed over Donghuang Taiyi under my feet."

Bai Ze’s cheeks reddened, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes, uncertain of how to respond.

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed quickly.

The domains under the Great Qin Celestial Court’s control had broken through the number of seventy-five. Thus, during this time, all under heaven discussed the various deities of the Great Qin Celestial Court; Xing Tian had long been renowned, with Sun Wukong, Perfected Person Taiyi, Taoist Heavenly Venerable, Xiang Yu, Hou Yi, and other deities rising one after another.

At the same time, the Anti-Qin Alliance officially declared war on the Great Qin Celestial Court.

Once this news spread, all under heaven was shocked because among the Nine Emperors of the world, five had joined the Anti-Qin Alliance, including the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, Yan Emperor, Nether Emperor, Master of the Sword, and Martial General Ding.

Suddenly, more and more forces joined the Anti-Qin Alliance, continuously reinforcing the front lines with new troops. An unprecedented super war started.

"My heavens, is this the Great Tribulation? Hundreds of domains in chaos!"

"Great Qin Celestial Court is in danger!"

"Nonsense! Who can withstand the Great Qin Celestial Court now? They have too many top fighters, each capable of taking on a domain by themselves."

"The key is that the Demon Emperor hasn’t made a move, who can fight Patriarch Bodhi?"

"And there’s that mysterious Kong Xuan... an invincible existence in all under heaven..."

"Tsk, tsk, the Nine Emperors have just been established, and already they are waging civil war?"

Hundreds of domains were discussing this matter, causing the atmosphere in the Xuandang Great World to become incredibly tense.

When the news reached the Great Qin Heavenly Court, it also caused shock waves throughout seventy-five domains, but fortunately, having witnessed the might of the Great Qin powerhouses, they did not panic.

In order to consolidate the stability of each domain, the Great Qin Heavenly Court started promoting the imperial examination to select talents from various domains, while also distributing resources to gain favor with the people.

The external wars, however, did not stop, and troops were recruited every day. The seventy-five domains offered an exceptionally vast military force.

The name of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin had already become a target for countless people. Now that he had become the first emperor under heaven, when he made a high call, there were countless supporters willing to join the army.

Facing the unprecedentedly powerful Anti-Qin Alliance, the military force of the Great Qin Heavenly Court also surged. Using the Xuandang Great World as a chessboard, they began the game.

Future generations named this period the Chaotic Era of the Heavenly Court.

...

Underworld.

Beneath the dim sky, the endless land was covered with countless Netherworld Soldiers, looking like a black torrent sweeping in from the end of the earth.

Qin Jun, wearing a Nine Dragon Supreme Emperor’s Robe, sat in his sedan chair with his right leg raised, leaning his arm on his knee in a carefree posture, his gaze directed toward the horizon, where the silhouette of an imposing ghost city could be seen through the mist.

"Your Majesty, ahead lies the Nether Emperor City," Zhong Kui said to Qin Jun as he flew in the sky beside him. On the other side followed another figure—it was Kṣitigarbha, riding on Diting, wearing a kasaya, and looking slightly plump, but emitting an aura that commanded respect.

The Underworld was like another Xuandang Great World, with a Nether Emperor in charge of the Underworld of each domain, and the Nether Emperor of the Netherworld like the lord of the world, supreme above all.

Under the development of King of Hell, Zhong Kui, Black and White Impermanence, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the Netherworld Palace had already become a major force in the Underworld. Now with Kṣitigarbha joining, the Netherworld Palace had become even stronger.

This time, Qin Jun personally descended to lead troops to conquer the lands of the Netherworld.

"Once this Nether Emperor City falls, will we be far from the Netherworld?" Qin Jun asked, holding a jade bottle in his left hand. Under the control of his magic power, pills continuously flew out of the bottle and into his mouth.

Men who ate pills like snacks, utterly devoid of conscience like him, were not many.

"This is the Nether Emperor City that is closest to the Netherworld," Zhong Kui replied.

With the King of Hell stationed at the Netherworld Palace, Zhong Kui and Kṣitigarbha accompanying Qin Jun and leading millions of Netherworld Soldiers, wherever they passed, ghosts scattered.

"Roar——"

A terrifying roar that made one’s scalp tingle echoed from the sky, and sure enough, it was Qiongqi.

With it joining, Qin Jun had brought two supremely powerful beings who had perfected their Daluo Beginning Immortal Realm cultivation—making it difficult for the Nether Emperor to survive.

"Amitabha, the Underworld of this world lacks a well-established reincarnation order, leaving many wronged souls unable to reincarnate," Kṣitigarbha lamented while riding on Diting, causing Qin Jun to chuckle, seeing that this guy really seemed born for the hellish cycles of reincarnation.

"The Underworld will be left to you and the King of Hell to control in the future," Qin Jun said with a laugh, promising directly.

In mythology, there were not many more powerful than Kṣitigarbha, and there were not many with more experience either, so Qin Jun felt very assured entrusting the Underworld to them.

Kṣitigarbha smiled and said nothing in response, as his heart was with the common people. He did not place much importance on power.

"Halt! What forces dare to disturb the Nether Emperor City!" a voice thundered like a clap of thunder, causing millions of Netherworld Soldiers to be dazed for a moment.

"Netherworld Palace!" Zhong Kui shouted back defiantly, rendering the opponent silent with just three words.

The Netherworld Palace of today was like the Great Qin Heavenly Court above, an emerging power that dominated the scene. If it weren’t for the Nether Emperor of the Netherworld keeping an eye on the world above, they would have eradicated the Netherworld Palace long ago.
