Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Who are they really fighting against?

"Kill!"

All sorts of screams and roars continuously resounded across this battlefield, as bodies kept falling.

But no one dared to retreat, for at some unknown time, a compassionate godly shadow had descended behind them, it was the Red Lotus Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva coldly watched Ji Jingqiu rampage through the crowd, waiting for a chance to strike, while looking at the White Lotus behind Ji Jingqiu with eyes full of caution and jealousy.

Why, after killing so many, does he remain so pure?

How can there be such a reason!

On the battlefield, suddenly someone pointed at Ji Jingqiu, crystalline like jade, hard as Vajra, leaving a blood hole in his chest, penetrating through!

Ji Jingqiu did not retreat but advanced instead, sacrificing for the opportunity, he seized the Heavenly Person hiding in the dark, and with his punched fists, he encompassed the heavens and earth in an instant, making everything seem to halt momentarily.

After the brief halt, blood exploded, Ji Jingqiu's expression remained cold, bathed in blood, he continued forward.

By this point in the battle, even someone as skilled as him couldn't avoid accumulating numerous wounds, yet his momentum continued to rise ceaselessly.

At this stage, every strike caused the heavens and earth to change color, nothing dared to obstruct.

As he delved deeper, this bloody battlefield became littered with white bones, corpses everywhere, creating a bleak and cruel tapestry of life.

As he killed to the last,

under the backdrop of martial artists fleeing wildly like tides, Ji Jingqiu slowly approached the deity standing between heaven and earth.

The Red Lotus Bodhisattva spoke with a chilling tone, smiling with teeth bared, a tense atmosphere filled the heavens and earth.

"Young man, do you wish to suppress demons?"

"Who is the demon?!"

Bang!

The Bodhisattva struck forcefully, and with a single palm, the surrounding void broke apart, forcibly opening up a realm world, with Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water cycling around, not just a virtual realm but a real breath of all things newly born, evolving into a scene of opening heaven!

Ji Jingqiu remained indifferent.

Even faced with a pseudo-god at the level of a Heavenly King Master giving their all!

He could choose to escape at this moment, using the Formless Heavenly Demon Technique's Escape Skill, even a Heavenly King Master couldn't catch him, then wait until he breaks into the Seven Realms before returning for revenge.

But he was unwilling.

What needed to escape shouldn't be him.

At this moment.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to see a blurry figure.

In some distant unknown void, that figure turned its back on all living beings, standing majestically, strolling like a Divine, yet leaving behind a lonely, cold, and desolate silhouette...

That was what he had seen during his unexpected encounter in the Spirit Ocean with the shadow of Marshal He!

The will etched on the two Ten Thousand Ancient Blades in the Inner World buzzed and hummed at this moment.

He seemed to merge with that figure, in a trance, seeing unfinished ambitions, missed people, unrecallable matters...

Leaving only the vast endless horizon.

No joy of victory, nor the bitter sadness of loss.

Only "emptiness".

Empty to all.

All laws are void!

He finally truly "read" the Mental Realm of Marshal He back then.

Yet he wished he hadn't.

Ji Jingqiu now, just like Marshal He once was, stood at the center of heaven and earth, looking up to the sky, roaring loudly, wielding a blade to slice down!

This slash stretched across heaven and earth, with the blade light blazing fiercely, displaying full dominance, causing wind, clouds, and sun and moon to lose their color!

He exerted all his strength, with The Beginning of One Element linking the Dharma Realm, overhead suspended without blood-stained White Lotus petals withering, integrating into his body, yet still could not rival the full force of a Heavenly King Master!

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's heart was serene like a calm lake, without a ripple, he forgot death, forgot danger, focusing solely on the longsword manifested by the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade in his hands, burning with fighting spirit.

Life is a series of subtractions.

The path under his feet, walked, day by day diminishing.

The people he encountered, met, face by face lessening.

He had known these things long before.

But this time, he was still caught off guard, this suddenness made him feel a long-lost fear.

At that moment, the blade light began to dim, cracks slowly appeared on the longsword.

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, just as he was about to fight desperately.

A figure with a human head and a snake's body appeared behind him.

Under the rain of blood, the deity with a human head and snake's body slowly lowered the hand covering its face, revealing a pair of eyes flowing with rich gold light, pure divine in nature.

The God's countenance was dignified and indifferent, ancient and eerie.

...

...

Deep Red Laboratory.

"Boss! Boss! Hel's depth index is rising! Damn, this is skyrocketing! Skyrocketing! It's already far surpassing the Summoning Law! Someone is forcibly awakening Hel!!!"

Researcher A sprinted like he was racing against time, until he saw the boss in communication with someone, without considering who was on the other end.

Dr. Chen raised a finger to his lips, indicating silence.

"Are you sure this is the intent of the Divine Lords? Alright, I understand, the laboratory will cooperate, but the Divine Weapon on Marshal He's side is beyond our control."

"Hmm... I understand."

After hanging up, Dr. Chen calmly said:

"The Four Directions God has ordered, don't meddle too much."

Researcher A was shocked, "Are you sure? That's Hel's true form?!"

Dr. Chen replied blandly, "The Four Directions God conveyed it this way, perhaps this is within their expectations as well."

...

Four Directions God Temple.

White-clothed Priest Xue Xuandao furrowed his brows, seeking instructions from the Divine Lords:

"Divine Lords, Hel's true form shows signs of approaching awakening, are we sure not to intervene? Or is this within your predictions as well?"
