Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 177: Four Extremes Fangzun and the Remains of the Demon God

Bai Jing did not choose to undergo the tribulation in the sea of blood. There were Asuras and countless souls in the sea of blood. If he underwent the tribulation in the sea of blood, innocent people would surely be affected, and the consequences would be serious.

So Bai Jing took a step forward and brought the four-legged tripod to a remote place in the west where there were few people and few living creatures.

The heavenly calamity came almost instantly. Under the endless black clouds and in the rolling spiritual energy, Bai Jing looked up at the black clouds in the sky with interest.

"Boom~" Electric snakes danced wildly in the sky, and the calamity clouds began to shrink rapidly. The calamity clouds covering an area of one million miles brought in boundless spiritual energy, and combined with the mighty power of heaven, the true appearance of the heavenly calamity was revealed!
Even a saint dare not ignore the power of this heavenly calamity.

The two saints and the saint's disciples who had just returned to the Western Church were all frightened by this sudden heavenly calamity. The terrifying power of heaven made everyone in the Western Church, except the two saints, tremble in fear.

Countless creatures on the western land also prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

Bai Jing looked up at the calamity clouds above. At first, Bai Jing thought that a heavenly calamity was about to fall, but what Bai Jing did not expect was that an eye of heavenly punishment suddenly appeared in the calamity clouds.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment is the embodiment of the will of Heaven. After He took a look at Bai Jing and the four-legged tripod, the calamity clouds in the sky began to shrink. In the blink of an eye, they were condensed from a million miles to less than a hundred miles.

The coverage area has become smaller, and what will surely follow is a crazy thickening. Bai Jing looked at the abnormality of the calamity cloud with great interest. He didn't know how the calamity cloud would evolve, but he really wanted to see what it would look like in the end.

A few hours later, golden lights suddenly appeared between the originally dark and gloomy sky and earth; the layers of calamity clouds above slowly rotated, turning the layers of pitch-black calamity clouds from black to gold.

Soon, a golden light appeared in the sky, illuminating the western land! When the golden light disappeared, the calamity cloud shrank again, and this time, it turned into its final form - a tall tower wrapped in clouds and mist suddenly appeared!
The tower is divided into 33 floors, with high and pointed eaves. Each window shows a spirit, including beasts, sacred birds, and all spirits in the world! There is also a mysterious and yellow air flowing on the tower, and the Taiqing Dao rhyme is permeated in it.

"The Mysterious Heaven and Earth Exquisite Tower! Interesting, it is actually using the acquired merit treasure to test the acquired merit treasure?"

"Boom!" As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, the tower in the sky began to circle faster and faster, and the thunder was deafening, which indicated that the heavenly calamity was about to fall!

Bai Jing looked up and saw that the tower was like a vortex collapsing inwards. Lightning spots flashed continuously inside it, as if it was going to swallow up the four-legged square tripod directly.

Inside the pagoda, in the vortex, forty-nine lightning spots suddenly appeared, and one of them suddenly went out.

"Crack~" A thin black lightning appeared in the middle of the vortex. The lightning was only as thick as a thumb. It crossed the sky and landed slowly on the four-legged square tripod.

"Dang~" A deafening collision sound was heard, and the seemingly inconspicuous lightning actually left a black mark as thick as a thumb on the four-legged square tripod.

Bai Jing's pupils shrank. There was something special about this thunder tribulation!

Today's four-legged square tripod is a treasure of acquired merit, and its defensive power is extremely terrifying. Even a saint could hardly leave any mark on it with a blow, but this thunder tribulation did it.

At the moment the thunderbolt struck, fire lotuses appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth, accompanied by groups of blue-black winds.

"Nanming Lihuo and Xuwu Bifeng? They are here so soon."

While Bai Jing was talking, the fire lotus began to release a blazing flame to burn the four-legged square tripod. The wind group also continuously blew out a thin wind, leaving indelible marks on the square tripod.

The thunder tribulation above was not idle either, and the remaining forty-eight lightning spots were extinguished one after another.

The falling thunder became thicker little by little. When the 20th thunder fell, the thunder was able to cover the entire four-legged square tripod.

The four-legged square tripod began to tremble and even cracked under the destruction of the three forces of thunder, fire, and wind.

However, every time cracks appear, merits will flow out from the four-legged square tripod to repair the cracks, and the hardness of the four-legged square tripod will increase as a result.

Soon there were only nine lightning spots left, and dark ice and thick rocks appeared between heaven and earth.

Now the power of earth, fire, water and wind are gathered together, plus the power of the heavenly calamity. If the power of the four-legged square tripod is not activated, it will be difficult to resist.

So Bai Jing had an idea and injected huge amount of magic power into the four-legged square tripod.

The four-legged square tripod suddenly emitted a black and white divine light. The entire tripod was like a god awakened from its slumber, bursting out with astonishing power.

The four-legged square tripod crashed into the heavenly tribulation. Provoked by the four-legged square tripod, the heavenly tribulation simply combined the power of the remaining nine lightning spots into one.

The next second, a dark lightning as thick as a baby's fist but containing endless destructive power struck the four-legged square tripod.

The black and white divine light around the four-legged square tripod immediately condensed into a layer of light film. The earth, fire, water and wind on the four legs re-enacted the heaven and earth, merging with the power of the small world inside the tripod to jointly support the light.

The thunder did not make any sound when it fell on the light film, but large areas of space were annihilated where the two collided. A slight overflow of power turned tens of thousands of miles of land into ashes.

Bai Jing naturally would not let his power leak out. He directly took action to freeze the earth, fire, water and wind around him.

The two fought for about a quarter of an hour, and finally the four-legged square tripod broke through the thunder and crashed into the Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower transformed by the calamity cloud.

At this time, the power in the Linglong Tower had been exhausted, and the four-legged square tripod instantly defeated the Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower that was transformed by the calamity cloud.

As the sun shone on the earth again, the catastrophe of the four-legged square tripod was finally averted.

Having survived the heavenly tribulation, this treasure of acquired merit and virtue naturally gained the recognition of heaven and earth, and four innate divine characters immediately appeared on the tripod: "Four Extremes Square Honored."

This is the name bestowed on this treasure by the ancient world.

Bai Jing was also quite satisfied with the name. With a thought, the Four Poles Square Zun flew back to his hand. After being baptized by the thunder tribulation, the Four Poles Square Zun's defense was further improved. With this treasure in hand, Bai Jing could also be invincible like the Saint Taiqing.

No one below the Heavenly Dao Realm can break through Bai Jing's defense.

Bai Jing nodded with satisfaction and transferred all the contents in the Yuanyang Ding into the Siji Fangzun.

Then Bai Jing took a step back into the sea of blood. When his disciples saw Bai Jing coming back, they immediately went to greet him.

"Master, has your treasure been refined?" Bixiao was the first to ask.

"Of course it's done!" Bai Jing said as he flipped his right hand, and the palm-sized Four Poles Square Zun appeared in his hand.

"Is this the defensive acquired merit treasure? It feels very heavy to me!" Gui Ling commented.

"Master, what is the name of this tripod?" Yu Ding asked.

"After it passed the tribulation, the ancient world gave it the name Siji Fangzun." Bai Jing replied with a smile.

"Master, does Siji Fangzun have any other abilities besides defense?" Qiong Xiao asked.

"As the name suggests, as long as the Four Poles Fangzun is injected with magic power, it can transform into the four poles to support the heaven and earth or suppress the internal fire, water and wind of the four poles."

The disciples were filled with envy when they heard this. Except Xuanyu, Bai Jing's first six direct disciples had all practiced the art of refining weapons. They naturally knew how difficult it was to refine a treasure of acquired merit.

"Xuanyu."

"Disciple is here." Hearing Bai Jing calling him, Xuan Yu quickly bowed in response.

"Your senior brothers and sisters have all been gifted with top-grade innate spiritual treasures or innate rare treasures by your master. Since you have become my disciple, I will not favor one over the other. I will give you this Yuanyang Ding to use as a protective shield!

The Yuanyang Ding is formed from the essence of the innate Wu Earth. Wu means "luxuriant", just like the entire earth with lush vegetation and blooming flowers. This is the Yang Earth. All things are born from it and all things enter it.

Therefore, the Yuanyang Ding possesses the power of Wu Earth. It can nourish all things inside the Ding and isolate attacks from outside the Ding, making it immune to all kinds of attacks.

This tripod was the spiritual treasure most commonly used by my master before he achieved enlightenment. It was also the first spiritual treasure obtained by my master besides the companion spiritual treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

There is also a wooden spirit bead inside the tripod that my master took from the Treasure Dividing Cliff, which makes the Yuanyang Tripod's ability to nourish all things even better. It will be of great use to you."

Xuanyu happily took the Yuanyang Ding and thanked Bai Jing repeatedly.

At this point, Bai Jing's seven true disciples all had magical treasures to protect them.

The eldest disciple Kong Xuan has the five-needle pine, one of the ten spiritual roots; the second disciple Yu Ding has the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Wuxu Dingkun Sword; the third disciple Gui Ling has the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Xuanyuan Control Water Flag; the fourth disciple Yunxiao has the Hunyuan Golden Bowl exchanged from Tongtian; the fifth disciple Qiongxiao has the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Yinyang Lihuo Fan; the sixth disciple Bixiao has the innate exotic treasure Luobao Money; the seventh disciple Xuanyu has the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Yuanyang Ding.

These seven people are enough to pass down his own Taoist tradition, and Bai Jing will not accept any new disciples in the future.

"Daoyou Bai Jing really opened my eyes today! You were able to refine a treasure of acquired merit. Your achievements in the way of refining are definitely better than my second brother's." Tongtian praised. "Daoyou Tongtian, you are too kind. I was able to refine a treasure of acquired merit mainly because of my huge merit, which has little to do with the way of refining."

"You are too modest, fellow Daoist."

Bai Jing smiled and didn't dwell on this question any more. He changed the subject and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, your disciples must have gained a lot this time. They must have been able to obtain a few more heavenly god positions, right?"

Tongtian nodded and said, "Among my four major disciples, Jinling and Gongming already have a connection with the Heavenly Court. They have also obtained the status of the Four Heavenly Emperors. As for the remaining Duobao and Wudang, they have no connection with the Heavenly Court. Duobao still helps me deal with some matters of Jiejiao, so I don't plan to send Duobao to the Heaven. As for Wudang, she is not really interested in becoming a god in the Heavenly Court, so I can't force her.

As for the remaining six people, although Wuyunxian and Jinhooxian also have no chance to go to heaven, I have discussed it with them before, and they are all willing to go to heaven and become gods.

Lü Yue, Luo Xuan, Qin Wan, and the Golden Light Holy Mother are already predestined to be with the Heavenly Court. They will go to Heaven with the Dark Cloud Fairy and the Golden Hoop Fairy later. "

Bai Jing nodded and thought, "In the original novel of Investiture of the Gods, Wu Dang Shengmu and Jin Hoop Immortal were the few great men of Jiejiao who survived, Duobao became Duobao Tathagata, and the remaining seven were all on the Investiture of the Gods List. Now that they have ascended to heaven ahead of time, they should be considered to have escaped a disaster!

Especially since Jin Ling and Zhao Gongming hold the position of Four Imperial Gods, even if they are involved in the Conferred God Tribulation later, I am afraid no one would dare to kill them.

The Four Imperial Gods are so respected that even a saint would have to think twice before taking action. If a saint is not careful, he may fall from grace."

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, thank you for being willing to give the location of the array's center to my Jie Religion. I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation." After saying this, Tongtian bowed to Bai Jing, then turned around and left the sea of blood with the Jie Religion disciples.

"Master, I have to go back to the human race. I still have some things to deal with before I step down as the leader of the human race." Xuanyu walked over and said.

"Then go! Remember to come back as soon as possible! I still have some magical skills of our sect to teach you."

"Yes, Master." After saying that, Xuanyu bowed to Bai Jing and then led the elite of the human race back to Shouyang Mountain together with the three ancestors of the human race.

Once the Jie Religion and the human race left, only Bai Jing and his direct disciples, and Chang Xi, the elder of the Holy Lotus Religion, were left above the sea of blood.

"Chang Xi, take them back to Yingzhou Fairy Island first! After you go back, tell A Bao and Hua Hua to choose two iron-eating beasts, one male and one female, to send to the underworld."

"Yes, the leader." Chang Xi responded.

After Bai Jing's disciples bowed to him, they flew away with Chang Xi.

After watching everyone leave, Bai Jing shouted, "Where is the Styx?"

Hearing Bai Jing's call, the sea of blood surged and the Styx flew out from the sea of blood.

"The Styx has seen the saint."

"No need to be so polite. I promised you before that as long as the Asura clan does not interfere in this matter, I will give you a good fortune. I will give you this thing!" After saying that, Bai Jing raised his hand and a piece of blood-red jade appeared in Minghe's hand.

As soon as Minghe held the jade, he felt the huge bloody energy contained in it.

"This thing is condensed from the essence and blood of the Chaos beasts I killed when I was traveling in the Chaos. Most of these Chaos beasts have no consciousness. After the essence and blood gather together, it will condense into the purest blood evil energy. This blood evil energy should be of some benefit to you."

Minghe took the jade and there was a glimmer of heat in his eyes. This thing was indeed very useful to him and could help him comprehend the Way of Killing.

"Thank you for the gift, Saint."

Bai Jing waved his hand, indicating that Minghe could leave.

Minghe bowed to Bai Jing and flew back to the sea of blood.

Then Bai Jing took a step forward and came to the Three Lives Stone in the underworld.

"Bai Jing, you are finally here!" Empress Pingxin said excitedly.

"Do you know I'm coming?"

"I know! You still owe me the Iron-Eating Beast! I'll definitely come and give it to you."

Bai Jing shook his head upon hearing this and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but I'm not here to send you an iron-eating beast."

"Aren't you here to send away the iron-eating beast? Then what are you here for?" asked Empress Pingxin.

Bai Jing smiled and pointed, and half of the corpse appeared next to the San Sheng Stone.

Although this corpse is only half, it looks somewhat similar to the innate Taoist body. It has arms and legs, and should also have a head. However, this corpse does not have a head. However, some detailed features on the body are completely different. It looks like a monster that has not fully transformed.

"What kind of monster's corpse is this?" asked Empress Pingxin.

"The Chaos Demon."

“Chaos Demon God! Are you saying that “He” is the Chaos Demon God who was killed by the Father God?”

"Correct."

"What kind of demon is he?" Empress Pingxin asked curiously after looking at the corpse.

"It's time."

"Time! How did you get it?"

"When I was comprehending the Great Dao of Time in the chaos, I activated the long river of time and found this half body in the long river of time."

"Is it possible that the Time Demon is still alive?" asked Empress Pingxin.

“It’s impossible. I checked and the Time Demon God has indeed fallen. He originally wanted to use the long river of time to avoid the attack of the Great God Pangu, but he didn’t expect that the axe mark of the Great God Pangu has transcended time, space, cause and effect, and fate.

There was no difference between him hiding in the long river of time and standing in chaos. When the great god Pangu chopped down his axe, he fell with it.

However, due to the existence of the long river of time, half of his body has been preserved."

"So that's how it is. Then why did you bring this half of your body back?" asked Empress Pingxin.

"Of course, it's to help Zhu Jiuyin. With this half of his body, Zhu Jiuyin should be able to comprehend the avenue of time more quickly and reach perfection."

"Do you want my second brother to refine it?" asked Empress Pingxin.

Bai Jing shook his head: "No need to refine it. Refining or swallowing it directly is dangerous. What if the Time Demon God leaves behind some backup plan?

My idea is to use the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to cleanse this half of the body, and then I will refine it into a spiritual treasure and give it to Zhu Jiuyin."

Empress Pingxin's eyes lit up when she heard this. What Bai Jing said was indeed a good idea. Even if the Time Demon had any backup plan, he would certainly not be able to use it under the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

So Empress Pingxin directly summoned the Six Paths of Reincarnation and threw this half of her body into the cycle of reincarnation.

Empress Pingxin manipulated the power of reincarnation to wash this half of her body repeatedly for a hundred years.

During this period, Chang Xi sent two iron-eating beasts.

These two iron-eating beasts are not one of the original 37 iron-eating beasts, but newly born iron-eating beasts after the iron-eating beast clan migrated to Yingzhou Fairy Island.

Due to the abundance of food, four newborns have been born to the iron-eating beast tribe, one male and three females.

The iron-eating beasts had no interest in raising children. They had maternal love but not much. These four cubs were kicked out of the house by their mother just when they turned 100 years old. After consulting the iron-eating beasts, Chang Xi sent two of them to the underworld.

Empress Pingxin couldn't let go of the iron-eating beasts. She personally bathed them, fed them, and spent several months thinking about a name for them.

The male one is called Wu Bao, which means the treasure of the Wu clan, and the female one is called Xin Yi, which means that the witch has been fond of the iron-eating beast for a long time.

With these two little guys around, Empress Pingxin hasn't cared about the affairs of the underworld for a long time. Usually, apart from staring at the half of her body that has been washed by the power of reincarnation, she plays with the two little iron beasts, seeming to be enjoying herself so much that she doesn't want to leave.
