NOVPUBAt this moment, Ye Ling fully manifested the aura of a Hongchen Immortal. In that instant, it was as if heaven and earth resonated, and deities descended.
Wuwa, standing not far away, was completely stunned. The man before her became unfamiliar in a blink of an eye, and even looking at him felt like looking at the heavens themselves, so majestic and solemn, inviolable.
At that moment, the eyes of the drought demon in front of him became completely bloodshot, and terrifying flames began to surge over its body, turning its eyeballs into red flames.
"Death! Death!"
The drought demon muttered in a low growl, but Ye Ling's expression changed immediately, thinking to himself that it was not good, this creature was about to breakthrough!
"Wuwa, I must go first. Otherwise, something terrible will happen!"
As soon as Ye Ling's words ended, he swept his palm, and a dazzling golden light completely enveloped the drought demon. In the next moment, both he and the drought demon's figures vanished.
As for Wuwa, she looked at the empty pavilion outside, tears involuntarily falling. She understood all too well that with Ye Ling's departure, perhaps they would never meet again in this lifetime.
In the Netherworld, King Senluo was working within the city when suddenly his expression changed dramatically, hearing an intense roar echoing from the sky, deafening.
Whoosh, a figure flickered, and in the next second, he appeared in the high sky outside Senluo City, only to see Ye Ling radiant with divine brilliance, followed by a drought demon roaring furiously behind him.
"Ye Ling! You've actually become an immortal! This is the aura of an immortal, impossible, how did you become an immortal so quickly?"
"What is this thing? A drought demon?! Damn, and it's about to become an immortal too!"
Even someone as powerful as King Senluo was filled with disbelief. One should know that creatures like the drought demon are extremely rare, especially after a breakthrough, they became akin to a bèng- a truly unique existence in the Demon Realm.
There are not many bèng in the whole world, and the strongest one resides under Buddha Tathagata, now shaking the heavens with the formidable strength of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor.
"Stop talking like that; I'm about to lose control of this creature. Help me take him to Bodhisattva's dojo quickly!"
Ye Ling shouted urgently, and King Senluo beside him nodded swiftly. The drought demon, under Ye Ling's control, emitted the aura of a heavenly demon, teetering on the edge of a breakthrough.
The moment it broke through, even Ye Ling would not be able to control it. The only one Ye Ling could think of to subdue this creature now was Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.
Immortal power surged, completely different from the eerie ambiance of the Netherworld. Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's arrival was filled with a profound aura.
The Buddhist chants boomed, and one after another, resplendent golden lotuses spontaneously appeared in mid-air, then slowly faded, fading and then appearing again, incredibly fantastical.
However, the moment Ye Ling and King Senluo brought the drought demon to Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's dojo, the originally sacred and mystical scene completely collapsed.
In its place were billowing grievances and deathly auras, which could influence any strong being below that of an Earth Immortal, almost instantly destroying the mental state of all Divine Infant Realm strong beings.
Hum, the drought demon's arms suddenly swelled, and in the next moment, two beams of bloodlike light burst forth from its eyes, shooting straight into the sky.
And at this moment, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, slowly approaching on Buddha's light, pointed with a single finger, and a wisp of Buddha light directly enveloped the wildly furious drought demon.
The originally ferocious and brutal drought demon suddenly calmed down, but before a second had passed, its arms were once again trying to lift up, its face fierce and teeth bared.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha."
Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha proclaimed a sacred Buddhist chant, and in the next moment, golden rain began to fall within the precincts of his sanctuary. As the rain touched the body of the Huan Ba, the once violently struggling creature grew calm.
Its eyes slowly closed, and a layer of rainbow divine light appeared on the surface of the Huan Ba's body. Then, as if encased in a cocoon, it was completely enveloped.
"The Bodhisattva truly possesses masterful skills. Transformed under the power of Bodhisattva's divine skills, perhaps this creature will become the world's first unique Golden-Furred Arhat. However, it's uncertain whether it will directly transform into one."
Ye Ling said with a slight smile, knowing Huan Ba belonged to the ghostly and Yin entities, while Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha was one of the many saints of Buddhism. Under his divine power, the Huan Ba was breaking through and, doing so in Ksitigarbha's sanctuary, the benefits it received were almost unimaginable.
"Nine Tribulations friend, you have indeed great skills. You've even reached the heights of a Hongchen Immortal. This old monk admires you."
Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha said with a slow smile. King Senluo, standing nearby, seeing that the two intended to chat, discreetly withdrew. Yet, in his heart, he was filled with immense surprise.
He was fully aware of his own daughter's deep affection for Ye Ling. Now that Ye Ling was alive and had become a Hongchen Immortal, it was merely a matter of time before he would become an Immortal Emperor again, given his strong foundation.
Thinking this, he felt reassured about his daughter's choice. She was indeed King Senluo's daughter, possessing exceptional judgment that was stronger than most.
"Friend, this Huan Ba is an abnormal breed born from your karma. May I ask what your decision is regarding this creature?"
Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, with his profound vision, immediately recognized the uniqueness of the situation. Ye Ling, on the other hand, shook his head: "Who knows? Let's first see if it's willing to follow me."
"If it does not wish to, I implore the Bodhisattva to help and send this creature to the Demon Realm. It absolutely must not remain in the secular world."
If that creature were to escape into the secular world, it would become a major disaster. Not to mention Ye Ling, no one would be able to subdue it then, resulting in a catastrophic blow to the entire world.
Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha nodded, "I wonder when you will return to the Immortal Realm. I believe your return might shock quite a few old fellows there."
After speaking, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha burst into hearty laughter. All the powerful leaders of the Immortal Realm knew of Ye Ling's demise; yet, if he were to reappear there now, all those giants would be filled with fear and dread. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Even those who have designs on the Nine Tribulations Territory would feel nervous. Even if Ye Ling's power was not what it once was, he remained the spiritual leader of the Nine Tribulations Territory.
And most importantly, the several wives of the Nine Tribulations Territory were also not to be trifled with.
It's a common saying in the Immortal Realm, isn't it? The wives of the Nine Tribulations Territory are its divine beasts, deterring the whole Immortal Realm - even Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha himself does not dare provoke them.
"Let's first deal with the matters of the secular world."
Ye Ling waved his hand dismissively, and Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha nodded. With a single wave of his hand, a tea table appeared between Ye Ling and himself, floating in mid-air.
With another wave of his hand, two cups of steaming tea appeared on the table, sending threads of enticing fragrance wafting through the air. Ye Ling's spirits were lifted, and he nearly lost his composure.
"Bodhisattva, could this be the renowned Nine Nether Tea from the Nine Nether Hell?!"
Ye Ling asked, visibly shaken.
