Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1246: Chapter 538: Ping Xin’s Fury! (Part 2)

“The Heavenly Dao needs a fitting spokesperson to drive the evolution of the Primordial World, ensuring its continued development and ascension.”

“But unfortunately, though Hongjun won this contest, the Heavenly Dao’s choice was egregiously mistaken.”

“After Hongjun gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao and became the first Heavenly Dao Saint, he did not fulfill the responsibilities expected of a Saint, to promote the ascension of the Primordial World.”

“On the contrary, he allowed his desires to expand, trying to seize the fruits of Pangu God’s legacy in opening the Primordial to achieve his own transcendence, aiming for what is called the true realm of transcendence.”

Zhao Feng’s words carried a sense of coldness: “The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity are the carefully preserved rules left by Pangu God after he opened the Primordial, and they are key to the Primordial World’s ascension to a higher level.”

“As long as the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity can manifest and improve gradually, one day, the Primordial will surely surpass the Great Thousand World, ascending to a higher level.”

“But what about Hongjun?”

“To satisfy his desires, he, with the prestige of a Saint, tapped into the power of Heavenly Dao, gathered Qi Fortune from all beings, ate away at the foundation of Heavenly Dao, usurped the authority of Heavenly Dao, and even sought to control it, beginning the so-called ‘Great Momentum of Heavenly Dao’.”

The more Zhao Feng spoke, the more serious he became, and he clearly explained the essence of Heavenly Dao Hongjun: “This is why, after Hongjun achieved sainthood, the so-called Great Momentum of Heavenly Dao frequently emerged, and why the Witch Demon Tribulation burst forth.”

“Everything was orchestrated by him in the shadows, all meticulously planned conspiracies for realizing his ambitions.”

…

Zhao Feng slowly narrated from the origin of the Dragon and Phoenix clans’ battle to the outbreak of the Witch-Demon War, trying as best as he could to clarify each detail and every cause and effect, only to make Ping Xin fully understand the fundamental reason behind it all.

He wanted Ping Xin to know that those forces and catastrophes deemed as the rules of Heaven and Earth, irresistible forces by the populace, were actually not the intent of Heaven and Earth, but shackles forcefully imposed onto the Primordial World by Hongjun for his desires.”

Perhaps!

From Heaven and Earth’s perspective, when the number of living beings in the Primordial Heaven and Earth surged tremendously, frenziedly consuming the resources of Heaven and Earth, which led to the depletion of nature’s spiritual energy, Heaven and Earth would naturally initiate a self-protective mechanism.”

This mechanism might take the form of a cataclysm, eliminating those burdened by karma and causing great damage to Heaven and Earth, thus maintaining balance in Heaven and Earth.”

However!

The appearance of Hongjun disrupted this natural balance. He manipulated Heaven and Earth’s rules, turning the cataclysms into tools for his ambition.”

At this point.

Listening to Zhao Feng’s explanation, Ping Xin fell into prolonged silence. Her expression became extremely complex, showing shock at Zhao Feng’s revelation, while also pondering past events, weighing the truth of Zhao Feng’s words.”

“If, according to your theory, the so-called cataclysms, the so-called Great Momentum of Heavenly Dao, everything is orchestrated in secret by Hongjun?”

Ping Xin’s voice gradually became colder, carrying a biting chill.”

“Including the rise and fall of my Witch Clan—it is all his handiwork?”

In her words, there rose a flame of anger in Ping Xin’s eyes, the fury of being manipulated.”

“The appearance of cataclysms was originally a phenomenon generated by Heaven and Earth to balance itself.”

“After all, the countless beings in Heaven and Earth, numerous cultivators, greatly consume resources and spiritual energy.”

“When this consumption reaches a certain level, Heaven and Earth will open cataclysms to eliminate karma and restore balance.”

“Under normal circumstances, those doomed to face the cataclysm set by the Heavenly Dao should be those burdened by karma and disrupting the balance of Heaven and Earth, not specific clans or sects.”

Seeing that Ping Xin was already moved, Zhao Feng continued to explain: “However, under the manipulation of Heavenly Dao Hongjun, everything changed in taste.”

“He, to achieve his goals, set the so-called ‘Momentums’, designated certain clans, certain sects to fall into calamity, using cataclysms to achieve his purpose of controlling living beings of the Primordial.”

“This completely violates the original intent of Heaven and Earth, a rebellion against Heavenly Dao.”

“Or rather, he truly affected the Heavenly Dao, usurping the authority of Heavenly Dao.”

“Lady, surely you can understand this meaning,” Zhao Feng said solemnly.

Upon hearing this!

Ping Xin has thoroughly come to terms with the crux.”

In this moment, she could no longer maintain her usual calmness; her inner anger surged like a tidal wave, instantly breaking free.”

“So!”

Ping Xin’s voice turned extremely icy: “The death of my brother, the downfall and extinction of my Witch Clan—the true culprit behind all this is Hongjun?”

“Not the so-called Great Momentum of Heavenly Dao, not the natural cataclysm of Heaven and Earth?”

Ping Xin’s body trembled slightly, and the aura around her began to destabilize, a terrifying power surged from within her.”

In an instant!

Seemingly the heavens and earth trembled, this terrifying aura spread with great might throughout the entire Underworld.”

Starting from the place of Six Paths of Reincarnation, this aura of power surged like a massive tsunami, swiftly engulfing the entire underworld.”

At that moment!

Numerous souls in the Underworld let out mournful wails, sounds echoing endless pain and fear.”

The many Ghost Messengers in the Underworld, and those with divine positions within, were powerless before this sudden terrifying force of oppression.”

Whether Ghost Messengers, Judges, or even the Ten Halls Yama of the Underworld, all were instantaneously suppressed by this overpowering energy, unable to move as if pinned by an unseen mountain.”

Even Ksitigarbha, the strongest in the Underworld, could not escape.”

As a Mid Quasi-Saint powerhouse, Ksitigarbha seemed very small under the crushing force of this aura.”

He felt as if an invisible power shackled him, suppressing him completely unable to move an inch, as though any slight movement would lead to instant annihilation.”

“This… this is Lady’s aura of power!”

“This force is released from the place of Six Paths of Reincarnation!”

“What exactly is happening?”

“Why has Lady suddenly become so enraged?”

“For countless years, Lady has remained hidden in retreat, never showing such action, yet today, what is this about?”

“Could it be that the Underworld is about to witness an earth-shattering event?”

“…”

At this moment!

For the Ten Halls Yama and Ksitigarbha, they have fully fallen into chaos and confusion.”

In the depths of their memories, Lady Ping Xin always retreated among the Six Paths of Reincarnation, uninterested in world affairs. No matter what upheaval arose in the Underworld, she never emerged to intervene, seemingly completely isolated from the outside, immersed in her solitary insights.”

The divine beings in the Underworld had long gotten used to this calm state, seeing Lady Ping Xin as the foundation of the Underworld, holding her in reverence, yet never imagining she would show such intense reaction.”

They always harbored respect for Lady Ping Xin, carefully maintaining the order of the Underworld, never daring slack.”

In their hearts, Lady Ping Xin was the emblem of the Underworld, their cherished belief.”

However!

The sudden turn of events today left them shockingly terrified.”

They had never seen Lady Ping Xin so furious, this powerful aura of repression gave them a sense of unprecedented crisis.”

Lady Ping Xin was truly enraged, her anger sweeping across the whole Underworld.”

Or perhaps, the entire Underworld was none other than Lady Ping Xin herself, her emotions directly affecting everything in the Underworld.”

At this moment!

Ping Xin’s rage filled every corner of the Underworld with an oppressive and dreadful ambience, a sense of unease rapidly enveloped every Ghost Messenger, every Yama, even including Ksitigarbha.”

It seems.

If Ping Xin wishes, the entire Underworld could vanish accordingly.”
