Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiese said, “Lady Yun, they’re dead. Their souls are no longer your concern. Someone will punish them for their sins. I can’t give it to you.”

Yun Yiyi asked, “How so?”

Jiese replied, “The eighteenth level of Hell.”

“I had more faith in punishing them myself! Are you going to give the souls to me?”

Jiese did not reply.

There was a dark glint in her eyes. She was vividly cold towards Jiese. In the end, she scoffed and was about to leave.

Jiese stopped her. He said, “Lady Yun, it’s time to let go since your enemy’s already defeated!”

Yun Yiyi looked lost. She appeared to be misguided. Then, she went cold again. She said tragically, “How am I supposed to let go? Who can understand my pain? The world hurt me, I want everyone to feel the same pain, too!”

“Stop it. Ask yourself, will that make you happy?”

Jiese looked at Yun Yiyi. They were like two people standing on two huge mountaintops with white clouds floating around. They stared at each other.

“Myself?” Yun Yiyi looked at Jiese with an ironic gaze. “I killed so many people, including Buddhists. Before they died, they still waited for the Buddha to save them. Did the Buddha come? Faith is just a foolish trick, it can’t save anyone!”

Jiese chanted Buddhist scriptures silently. “But faith can save itself. I beg of you, stop the killing. Just stop it. Okay?”

Yun Yiyi looked at Jiese. She was slightly out of it.

Jiese slowly walked forward and reached out. He looked at Yun Yiyi and said, “I can still marry you. Give me that Lotus Leaf as a dowry?”

Yun Yiyi started to breathe fast. Her first reaction was joyous. She dazedly handed over the Lotus Leaf to Jiese.

The Lotus Leaf had already turned black. It shined in an evil light.

Just when Jiese was about to receive the Lotus Leaf, it started to shine brightly with jet-black light. A cold and cruel voice could be heard from within it, “Want me? Dream on!”

That Lotus Leaf melted into her palm. Then, a jet-black arm suddenly grew out from the back of Yun Yiyi like a venomous snake. Jiese was not ready for that attack and the arm pierced through his chest. He flew away like a cannonball!

“This Buddha’s something else. He can even force me to attack him!”

Yun Yiyi was speaking but it did not sound like her. Her voice was mixed with an unknown voice. It sounded extremely creepy.

The Lotus Leaf multiplied underneath her feet. Black Lotus flowers slowly bloomed and held her up.

She started to emit an extremely creepy and terrifying aura. She levitated over to Jiese.

Jiese at that moment had crashed into a wall. His chest had a wound as huge as the mouth of a bowl. Blood flowed out like crazy.

Many souls inside him found an opening in his wound. They opened their mouths wide and howled tragically. They were ready to exit.

However, they could only make it out halfway through. The rest of their forms were tightly locked inside Jiese.

“Oh? Not dead yet?”

‘Yun Yiyi’ looked at Jiese mysteriously. “Then, you shall be the fertilizer of the Black Lotus.”

She waved and the Black Lotus instantly shined with a dark light. It attacked Jiese.

Just when the black light was about to touch Jiese, a golden light slowly appeared and formed a shield.

The golden light was not intense. On the contrary, it was very subtle.

It easily blocked out the black light.

Gold and black were natural enemies in color. They were completely different and could not be mixed together.

The souls were sucked back into Jiese. His wound healed itself but instead of flesh, it was with golden paint.

Jiese reopened his eyes. He looked at that Black Lotus. Her body was as light as a feather. She was levitating. “Is that... The... Destructive Black Lotus?”

Yuecha had already told Jiese all about the ‘Journey to the West’ stories. He was familiar with it, too. Therefore, Jiese was able to recognize it at first glance.

“Yo, you’re quite knowledgeable.”

Yun Yiyi grinned. “This Immortal Item was born with the realm, and it’s an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure which can destroy realms. Lord Demon Lawless used this lotus to destroy Buddhism that year. And now, Lord Demon God has given it to me!”

Jiese asked in a low voice, “Who are you?”

“I’m the new Lord Demon!” Lord Demon’s voice echoed. It was cruel and cold.

Jiese said, “This is between us, come out from her body.”

Lord Demon laughed out loud. “Haha, why should I? Come on, come on, this is your lover. Are you going to attack her?”

“Amitabha.”

Jiese did the Namaste gesture and shined brightly. His majestic golden light shined and spread. There was a golden halo ring behind him!

Suddenly, Buddhist light took over the realm. It looked like a golden egg from afar.

The intensity of the Buddhist light made Lord Demon unhappy. The Lord Demon waved and spun the Destructive Black Lotus. Demonic flames appeared, forming a long black dragon!

Black and the gold were having a stand-off!

“How... How’s this possible?!”

Lord Demon had wide eyes. She was in disbelief.

The Lord Demon did not expect that the puny monk could withstand the power of the Destructive Black Lotus.

It was...impossible!

She asked, “What kind of treasure do you have on you?!”

Jiese did not reply. He slowly raised his arm. Buddhist light poured out and formed a huge dragon. “Heavenly Dragon!”

Roar!

The golden dragon was too huge. Its dragon head covered the sun in the sky. It was as big as a village. It opened its mouth and devoured the Lord Demon!

From afar, it looked like a huge dragon chewing a ball of black smoke!

The Lord Demon became serious. She raised her arm and said, “Black Demonic Dragon!”

Roar!

Another huge dragon also soared to the sky. It was made from black smoke with the lotus spinning around it. It was entangled with the golden dragon!

Kaboom!

At that moment, the realm flashed!

Nothing was visible for thousands of miles!

Everyone looked up and saw the symphony of gold and black light in the sky. They heard rumbles coming from afar. It was a rare and odd sight to behold!

The Buddhist light and demonic energy became sky pillars. It looked extremely terrifying in the air, even the Above Immortal Realm sensed that.

Buzz!

A big golden door slowly appeared out of thin air. Then, it opened and revealed a holy light!

The Heavenly Gates were opened!

Soon, the golden door frame started to split apart, revealing a crack. Then, the crack grew larger. The Heavenly Gates did not appear for long. It shattered like a mirror along with a ‘clang’.

At that moment, some sort of block in the realm was suddenly lifted. The bridge to Immortality was completely connected to the Immortal Realm. The limitations of the Absolute Era were shattered. Immortal Qi started to pour in.

“Amitabha.” Jiese levitated. His whole body was covered in gold. He placed his hands together to do the Namaste gesture. The Buddhist lights around him were like flashlights. It kept flickering, utterly sparkly and shiny. “Since you won’t come out, I shall beat you until you come out!”

Boom!

The sculpture of the golden Buddha in his embrace slowly melted into Jiese. It was endlessly powerful. Buddhist hymns could be heard out of nowhere.

An enormous figure of the golden Buddha appeared behind him. Jiese was sitting crossed-legged but he looked holy with his Namaste gesture. People would stop on sight. They might even worship him.

Buzz.

The aura of the place started to become chaotic.

Jiese sat on the chest of the giant Buddha while chanting something. The giant Buddha slowly raised his palm.

The palm was way too huge. It covered the sky and attacked the Lord Demon!

“Jiese, would you really attack me?” This time, it was purely the voice of Yun Yiyi. She sounded pitiful like a beggar.

However, Jiese ignored it. The palm went toward the Lord Demon.

“Nice one, monk! You would even kill your wife!”

‘Yun Yiyi’ squinted. The Destructive Black Lotus spun like crazy. The Lotus Leaf expanded and closed in. It wrapped her up. Waves of dark energy turned into countless huge snakes. It attacked the Buddha’s Hand!

The Buddha Hand landed and demolished the black snakes. It was like a huge mountain crashing into a black lotus!

Boom!

The horrifying explosion turned everything into dust. The high mountain underneath their feet did not stand a chance. It was wiped out before it could crumble. The surrounding mountains were the same.

The forest was also gone. The earth cracked and crumbled. A horrifying bottomless pit was formed!

The smoke and dust faded. The scary phenomenon also vanished. Two bodies laid on the ground next to the bottomless pit.

One of them wore red clothes. The other one had a shiny bald head.

Cough!

Jiese had a lifeless gaze. His shawl was completely torn. He stood up with all his might and walked towards Yun Yiyi.

He fell over and crawled toward her, inch by inch.

Yun Yiyi weakly laid on the ground. She silently looked at Jiese. Tears were streaming out from her eyes. They were both done with fighting.

Yun Yiyi smiled palely. “Monk, it turns out you can be sweet sometimes.”

Jiese laid with Yun Yiyi. “It’s all over now.”

“Yeah, over. It’s so unfair.” Yun Yiyi said in a low voice, “I was wrong.”

Jiese slowly raised his arm. A few howling ghosts appeared on his palm.

“Didn’t you want to see what happened to those people who hurt your family? I will make my body a living hell and let them suffer in the eighteenth level of Hell!” Jiese looked down. “Why...would I think it’s fair to begin with?”

“Are you still a monk, then?”

“I think therefore I am.”

“That’s it. That’s quite nice.”

“Yeah... Quite nice.”

Their conversation gradually faded into silence.

A black figure and a white figure slowly appeared in the bottomless pit.

They were wearing high hats with mourning staffs in their hands. Their hands were slightly trembling. They moved forward.

“Black, how about you go first? I’ll be at the back to cover you.”

“Lies! Why don’t you go instead?” Black and White Impermanence bickered. “Who fought here exactly? Are they really dead or pretending to be dead?!”

“Sigh, it’s so hard to be an Oni!”

The two of them anxiously peeked their heads out from the bottomless pit. They did so with a lot of courage.

They glanced nervously and noticed the two bodies.

“No way, they did this?”

White Impermanence gulped. He floated over slowly and gradually became shocked. “This... This is... The monk’s body has a huge amount of souls. He trained his body to be a container of souls?!”

“How’s this possible? How are we supposed to do our jobs?” Black Impermanence was also stunned. Then, he widened his eyes as if he remembered something. He exclaimed, “A bald monk, a lady in red. White! Do you remember what the expert told us to do?”

“Oh yeah, the expert told us to take notice of a bald monk and a lady in red. He wants us to pay attention to their situation, this is clearly important to him!” White Impermanence was enlightened. “That’s them alright!”

“Let’s go, be careful. Take them back to the Underworld.”

...

At the Demon Realm.

“Oof!”

The Lord Demon on the throne suddenly jolted and groaned.

His pupils were like copper coins in his widened eyes. He had bloodshot eyes. He looked shocked, more so discontent. A small stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“How is this possible? How is this possible?!”

He was enraged as if he went through the most horrifying incident. His body trembled as his aura weakened like crazy. He was going to die soon!

“How can someone so powerful exist? Who is it exactly? He used a small monk helper and was able to kill me in an impossible way? Even the Destructive Black Lotus can’t stop him, who is he exactly?!

“I haven’t shown up yet, and I’m about to die? That’s too cruel!

“Lord Demon God, save me. This is so unfair!”

Lord Demon slowly rested in peace.

Amon and Backo were guarding the door. They looked utterly calm, they might even be a little bit happy.

Ever since the countless failures, they have already lost their confidence. They did not dare to go to the horrifying Immortal Realm ever again. All they wanted to do was to peacefully stay at the Demon Realm. It was nice to spend their time casually.

Hence, they ended up being guards.

Suddenly, they frowned at the same time and looked at each other. They sensed the confusion in the eyes of each other.

“What’s going on? Did the aura of the Lord Demon suddenly vanish?”

“I feel it too. The Lord Demon seems to be very aggravated. Then, all of a sudden, nothing.”

They looked at the door. They had no idea what happened.

Amon felt slightly puzzled. “The Lord Demon said he was going to cause havoc in the Immortal Realm with the Destructive Black Lotus. He ordered us to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb him. Nothing’s going to happen to him, right?”

Backo gently stepped closer. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. “Lord Demon, are you alright?”

Silence.

Knock knock!

He knocked harder.

“Lord Demon, are you in there?”

Still no response.

Creak.

Backo and Amon carefully pushed the door open together. They immediately saw Lord Demon sitting on the throne. They were scared senseless. They fell to the floor.

However, Lord Demon did not scold them. That was unexpected. The Lord Demon stared ahead lifelessly with his coin-like eyes. He seemed to be frozen in place.

Backo gulped. “Lord... Lord Demon?”

They looked up and realized the Lord Demon was bleeding from his mouth!

They hurriedly stepped forward to inspect.

They were instantly mind blown after the inspection. They went blank and completely lost their ability to think.

They stopped breathing and functioning. They fell backward, almost scared to death.

“This... This... This... The Lord Demon’s dead?”

“The Immortal Realm! It must be the doings of the people in the Immortal Realm. Too scary. They can kill while being in their own territories. Boohoo, are they going to spare us a path to live?”
