The Ancestor of All Demons

The internal spaces created by the Fetus Burial Array by Xin Ru are endlessly vast, yet they are voids without even a speck of dust.

Everyone drawn into the array is enveloped by the Demon Blood Membrane spawned within the void, turning into a Demon Embryo and subsequently growing into a Demon Infant.

Once the Demon Infant is "born," it enters into the true Great Ru Pure Land.

Shi Feiyang "broke through the walls" from the space of the Elder Shi Pi into the world of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader.

While the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader actively sought to be "born," he wouldn't be passively enveloped into a Demon Embryo like the Elder Shi Pi.

He intended to utilize the array to condense a flesh and blood body, then breach the world by force, invading the Great Ru Pure Land.

As Shi Feiyang arrived, he saw the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader spreading Mystic Yin Black Water, forming a boundless sea of a diameter of ten thousand miles.

Within the vast Black Sea, countless black lotuses blossomed, seemingly growing amidst an eternal night glacial river, surrounded by black frost and dense black evil.

In the surrounding void, continually emerging membranes were surprisingly vast, capable of enveloping the entire Black Sea.

When Shi Feiyang arrived, he witnessed the Black Sea of ten thousand mile diameter being enveloped by a membrane, resembling an insidious plastic bag filled with oil. The membrane had thickened significantly. Shi Feiyang's eyes flashed white, enabling him to see the black lotuses inside the Black Sea. As the membrane contracted towards the center, the circular Black Sea was being forced into an ovoid shape. Initially floating on the sea surface, the black lotuses began to contract inward, descending into the Black Sea.

Upon seeing this scene, Shi Feiyang promptly used the Heavenly Mirror to shine on the membrane, piercing it with Purple and Blue Sword Qi, and leaped inside.

Ordinary Flying Sword Magical Treasures couldn't damage this membrane. Even his most powerful tool for breaching, Suiren's Drill, couldn't affect the membrane here and would be wrapped by the newly formed membranes instead.

Only his Purple and Blue Sword Qi, with its attached Purple And Blue Divine Flames, could destroy the membrane formed by the heavy turbid energy.

Upon entering the Black Sea, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader sensed him immediately, yet took no action, lying in wait in the depths of the Black Sea, feigning ignorance.

Shi Feiyang, aware of his awareness, was unperturbed. He took out the collected Green Lotus, White Lotus, and also released the Red Lotus.

The Green Lotus positioned in the east, the Red Lotus in the south, the White Lotus in the north, and the Yellow Lotus in the center.

Sitting in the center, Shi Feiyang's true self had manifestations above the Green, White Lotuses, and now released another above the Red Lotus.

He then took out the True Water of Tianyi.

Mystic Yin True Water, transformed by the God of Geng Metal of the West, is water of the Acquired realm.

Tianyi True Water, taken by Tianyi Golden Mother from the symbol of "Tianyi giving birth to water," was the first creation after the world's opening, existing between the Innate and Acquired realms.

Both could transform into a lake with just a drop. Shi Feiyang directly took out three large bottles, pouring them all out and dividing into four parts beneath the five Lotus Platforms, merging with the Mystic Yin True Water.

After merging, the Mystic Yin True Water and Tianyi True Water formed a bridge from the Acquired to the Innate, their attributes undergoing an intrinsic transformation, beginning a reversal from Acquired back to the Innate.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader anticipated Shi Feiyang coming to collect his Black Lotus and to break the array of Xin Ru, lacking Tianyi True Water himself, intended to seize the Five Elements Lotus Platform, thus held off.

At this point, both of their interests were aligned, collaboratively casting a spell to root down the Lotus Platforms, the roots frenziedly absorbing the surrounding True Water, as the flowers and leaves rapidly grew.

The Green, Red, Yellow, White, and Black Lotuses not only grew massively in size, but also sprouted lotus roots underneath, rapidly thickening and lengthening, stretching over a hundred miles, the stems and leaves layer upon layer, blossoming into a sea of flowers…

The vast number and size of these flowers and leaves soon formed five "flower mountains," standing tall in the void, the black water beneath reduced by nearly a third.

Shi Feiyang and the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader combined efforts to help the Heavenly Jade Lotus absorb True Water and rapidly grow; they had a tacit mutual understanding, waiting for the final moment to compete for them.

Both believed they could ultimately achieve victory, becoming the owner of the Five Lotus Platforms.

Xin Ru Nun also noticed the situation but did not intervene, also waiting, believing she could ultimately seize the Five Jade Lotuses.

Of course, even if she wanted to intervene now, it wouldn't be easy. Outside, Master Fen Tuo and Master You Tan, along with the newly arrived Zen Master Kong Tuo and Zen Master Wu Ming, were attacking her together.

Zen Master Kong Tuo was the junior brother of Zen Master Bai Mei. Though his mana and divine skills couldn't compare to those of the high monks and nuns, he was still among the top ranks.

Zen Master Wu Ming, despite being Master Fen Tuo's junior, had been present in the world for too long and should have ascended long ago.

Zen Master Wu Ming's elder brother, Zen Master Du Zhi, had ascended to the Pure Land decades ago, leaving his Taoist ground, Upper Mountain Jingbo Temple, to Wu Ming, whose strength was no less than that of Kong Tuo or Master You Tan.

These two monks and two nuns were enough for Xin Ru Nun to contend with. Had it not been for the Seven Treasures Golden Banner and Conch Leaf Talisman, she would have been unable to hold her ground.

Master Chi Zhang did not meddle in the internal affairs of their Buddhist sect, leaving the monks and nuns to resolve them on their own. Instead, Master Chi Zhang assisted Jin Xunu and Li Yingqiong and others in dealing with Sha Shentong and his group, successfully seizing all the relics. Then, Master Chi Zhang instructed his nine followers to occupy nine mountain peaks respectively, utilizing the terrain to form an Immortal Array to counterattack Xin Ru's Fetus Burial Demon Formation.

This left Xin Ru unable to attend to everything at once, and she was in no position to manage Shi Feiyang and the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader.

At this point, she abandoned the pretense of being "Xin Ru Buddha" and ordered Zhu Youmu, E Shengfan, Xie Shan, A Ying, A Lin, Pan Du, Guang Ming, Guang Hui, Wei Fengniang, and Ji Fandu, among others, to join in a life-or-death battle against the enemy.

According to her "Xin Ru Buddha" doctrine, even if these people died, as long as they died protecting the sect, their primordial spirits could ultimately merge into the Great Ru Pure Land, reincarnating into a Buddha Country World paved with golden bricks and adorned with Seven Treasures.

In fact, she didn't care much for her subordinates. She dispatched the powerful Zhu Youmu, E Shengfan, and others to attack Jin Xunu and Li Yingqiong, disrupting their Immortal Array, while using over a million of worthless followers to deal with the two monks and two nuns.

Aren't you very capable? Don't you have limitless mana and immense divine skills? Go ahead, kill them all! Show your strength by slaughtering all these millions!

Sure enough, the two monks and two nuns couldn't go on a killing spree, finding themselves constrained when faced with Xin Ru's million followers.

They were fighting in the skies while Shi Feiyang fought within the array below.

He and the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader worked together, urging five lotuses to grow. During this process, he also took out many bottles of Five Elements Essence, transforming them into a sky full of Five Elements Essence Qi, supplying each lotus to let them absorb. Even the Black Lotus where the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader stood received the same treatment, filled with large amounts of Ren Water and Gui Water Essence.

The main issue was the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's limited resources, and while Shi Feiyang's three lotuses were thriving, his Black Lotus was somewhat stunted, now in need of proper replenishment.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's "Vast Ocean Territory" quickly contracted, the black water diminishing completely, absorbed entirely, leaving not a drop.

Previously, he had melded a vast amount of Mystic Yin Evil into the Mystic Yin True Water, the evil qi dissolving in water, intended for a counterattack against the Buddhas.

In his initial plan, it would have been ideal if the five lotus platforms could absorb all this evil qi together. However, lotuses emerge from mud without being tainted, only absorbing water. Not a trace of the evil and filth was absorbed, all filtered out, forming a vast expanse of black evil qi. Within it, countless Mystic Yin Demon Gods flew about, letting out ghostly wails and howls.

Shi Feiyang had occupied four lotus platforms, each with an avatar of himself atop. He wanted to seize the one occupied by the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, but as long as the sect leader was on the Black Lotus, he couldn't take it.

However, he still held the advantage. The central true body cast a spell, the Circulation Golden Talisman rotating, and from beneath the lotus platform arose a vast amount of yellow energy, transforming into a desert of yellow sand that attacked the northern Black Lotus using earth to overcome water.

The avatar on the eastern green lotus platform also cast a spell simultaneously, releasing nine streams of green essence, manifesting as billions of giant trees in the sky. The trees, with numerous vines, utilized water to nurture wood, joining with the Yellow Lotus to attack the Black Lotus.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, casting spells, called forth more Black Lotus blossoms surrounding the original, covering thousands of miles. Each Black Lotus was home to a Mystic Yin Demon God, who employed evil techniques to withstand attacks from the Yellow and Green Lotuses.

These five lotuses were formed entirely from the pure energy of the Nine Heavens, a bane to all impure and malicious entities. That's why the Princess of Stone God used the Green Lotus against the Blood God Scripture, and Patriarch Shi Pi used the Red Lotus against the Divine Demons of Heavens and Earth at will.

If it were the original Nine-Grade Lotus Platform, the power would have been limited. However, with these two enhancing and infusing it with so much True Water Essence Qi, it was close to evolving into a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform. Its power was multiplied, with those massive trees of green essence crashing down, shattering the Mystic Yin Demon Gods like paper. In an instant, even the Black Lotus underneath was smashed to bits!

The central expanse of yellow sand was even more formidable, earth being the nemesis of water, it raged like a gigantic sandstorm sweeping over the land. Layer by layer, it covered the Black Lotus, causing it to wither rapidly.

The Black Lotus fields conjured by the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader were quickly tattered, only the central Twelve-Grade Black Lotus remained lush and verdant. However, once the giant trees and yellow sand attacked together, this lotus platform would also find it hard to withstand damage.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader gave a sinister laugh, taking out a Magical Treasure, the Zhunti Golden Bowl, obtained years ago from the West Pole Sect alongside Mystic Yin True Water.

This golden bowl was not of this world but obtained over thousands of years by West Pole Sect predecessors from another realm's Zhunti Buddha.

With this treasure used to capture demons, even a Great Demon of two or three thousand years wouldn't escape once caught in the golden light it emitted; it would inevitably be sucked into the bowl.
