Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Upon seeing this Heavenly Grudge, Ao Peng realized for the first time the terrifying nature of this game.

Faced with this terrifying divine retribution, any resistance would be futile.

Let alone him, according to the system's prompts, even if a real god or Buddha came, they would have to give way.

Who would have thought that this thing was made by demons as weak as mice?

This is absolutely outrageous!

The instant the system notification appeared, countless umbilical cords in the Xuanming Dead Sea, like a swarm of snakes startled from mating, swiftly coiled around Ao Peng, the only living creature, from all directions, along the ground and the gray-black walls.

They sensed the blazing fire of humanity within Ao Peng's body, something they craved that could help them truly be born!

The moment Ao Peng saw Tian Yuan, he completely lost all ability to move.

However, Ao Peng still had a backup plan.

He first used his own yin and yang transformations to turn from life to death.

His skin instantly lost its color and turned pale. Strands of white, stiff hair rapidly grew and covered his skin. The moment the dark purple, extremely poisonous umbilical cord wrapped around Ao Peng, the white hair was quickly dyed black.

But at the same time, these umbilical cords stopped wrapping around!

Because Ao Peng was now a complete white zombie, one of the countless corpses in this mass grave!

The Heavenly Wraith in the Xuanming Dead Sea wanted to descend to earth using the body of a living person. Although it was extremely powerful, it was like an infant with only instincts and had no interest in corpses.

The umbilical cord, carrying an extremely terrifying and insidious poison, uncertainly wrapped around Ao Peng several more times. He couldn't understand how the extremely yang and powerful energy he had just sensed had suddenly transformed into something like his own—a dead corpse.

But no matter how much he explored the umbilical cord, he couldn't change the fact that Ao Peng was a resurrected corpse.

Once it was confirmed that this was indeed a corpse, the umbilical cord, carrying resentment and bitterness, slowly retreated.

The terrifying crisis has been averted.

The rat-faced man who brought Ao Peng looked at this scene in disbelief. Its remaining rationality could not understand why Ao Peng, a perfectly healthy person, had suddenly turned into a corpse.

However, the rat-faced man's lack of understanding does not mean that Ao Peng will let him go.

Ao Peng grabbed the rat-faced man who had brought him in, his smile icy cold. "I didn't expect to have a mishap with the female bodhisattva, but I almost had one with you, my little cutie."

He remembered a line from the strategy guide.

The "people" of the old land are untrustworthy because they are not human. Do not interpret their behavior according to the rules of the present world.

The rat-faced man repeatedly clasped his hands in surrender.

Ao Peng didn't kill the Rat-Faced Man immediately. He entered this place because of the Rat-Faced Man's talent and ability. If he wanted to get out, he would have to rely on the other party's Shadow Realm.

The moment the rat-faced man was grabbed by Ao Peng, all the rat-faced men in the shadows looked over. There were at least 100,000 rats here. Even if they were weak, each one could eat Ao Peng!

Ao Peng laughed, "Are you looking for revenge? Coming after me won't work. How about we pull off something big?"

He began to understand the logic behind these rat-faced men's behavior. As long as they helped them avenge themselves and destroy the entire Happy Town, they didn't care how many people were involved in the process, just like game players.

Ao Peng happens to be a gamer as well.

Upon hearing that Ao Peng was going to help them take revenge, the rat-faced man, though puzzled as to why Ao Peng had transformed into a dead man, was consumed by hatred and quickly nodded.

Ao Peng first put down the rat-faced man, then sat down in front of the Xuanming Dead Sea.

With the crisis over, he looked at the Xuanming Dead Sea again and immediately realized that this was an incredible opportunity for him!

Because this Xuanming Dead Sea gave him a feeling similar to the fire of the Yellow Emperor's ancestral temple!

Or perhaps this is the opposite of the fire at the Yellow Emperor's ancestral temple!

The fire in the Yellow Emperor's Ancestral Temple is the fire of human prosperity, while the Xuanming Dead Sea is the water of human decline!

However, this water is absolutely unusable by normal people.

But Ao Peng is not a normal person!

After careful consideration, Ao Peng had a bold idea: to transform himself from yin to yang.

The umbilical cord, which had originally receded, began to wriggle again under the influence of Ao Peng's yang energy. Although it was puzzled as to what was happening, it still followed its instincts and began to wrap around Ao Peng.

Although Ao Peng was still unable to move, he was well prepared. He began to transition from life to death while waiting for the right opportunity.

The moment the umbilical cord wrapped around him, he activated his supernatural power, "Minor Karma".

[You used "Minor Karma" on Tian Yuan, accumulating one instance of the same skill, "Mysterious Netherworld Lock."]

The umbilical cord that had just wrapped around Ao Peng felt again that it was wrapped around a dead body. However, the second time this happened, even though Tian Yuan was of low intelligence and only had instincts, he controlled the umbilical cord and tried to drag Ao Peng into the pool. Anyway, the pool was big enough to hold more than one corpse.

Ao Peng quickly offered his terms.

"Didn't you want to be born? I'll help you be born, and you'll let me go and give me the purest wisp of your original essence."

For Tianyuan, His greatest wish was to be born smoothly, and the conditions offered by Ao Peng hit His weak spot exactly.

So the umbilical cord that was trying to drag Ao Peng stopped.

It circled Ao Peng twice, seemingly trying to confirm his special status.

[Heaven's desire for birth outweighs everything else; He has accepted your conditions and is willing to offer you a small reward.]

The umbilical cord that was wrapped around Ao Peng suddenly pierced into Ao Peng's body like a poisonous thorn.

[Heaven's resentment is now bestowing upon you a portion of its karmic consequences.]

[The compatibility between your cultivation technique and the karmic fruit has been detected.]

[The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Plain Women, 50%, cannot be upgraded.]

[Attaining the title, 99% chance, can be upgraded.]

[Kundalini Meditation, 10%, cannot be upgraded.]

……

Among the cultivation techniques Ao Peng practiced, the skills of "Tao Feng" and "Liuhe Greatsword" had a compatibility of more than 50% with the Dao of the Netherworld, and both were within the scope of being upgradable.

However, Ao Peng's own "Tao Feng" skill had already reached its maximum level. At this point, upgrading the extraordinary "Tao Feng" skill might be more beneficial than the ordinary "Liu He Da Dao" skill. Therefore, Ao Peng decisively chose the "Tao Feng" skill.

[You channeled a portion of the karmic fruit into your Conquest skill, and your Conquest skill is undergoing a transformation.]

[Your skill "Declaration of Immortality" has been fused with the "Fruit of Misfortune," Declaration of Immortality (Mastery) → Verse of Attaining Immortality through Speech (Legendary, 1/5000).]

[Verse on the Fruition of Speech Karma]: You not only control your own karma, but also begin to interfere with the karma of others.

Speech karma is one of the three major karmic forces in Buddhism.

In Buddhism, karma itself is the fundamental force that drives the universe. Everything originates from karma and everything returns to karma. Unless one attains supreme enlightenment, all things are within karma and cannot transcend it.

You can seize upon the negative karma created by others' speech, leading to karmic consequences and manifesting retribution.
