A Red Lotus Emerges from a Sea of Bitterness

Chapter 223 A Red Lotus Emerges from a Sea of Bitterness

Back in Poison Dragon Town, Ao Peng had been eyeing the Bitter Sea Dragon Subduing Formation. He obtained a finger bone from a Naga princess, which contained the true meaning of the formation. In addition, he received the Buddha-Demon Seal inheritance from the Dragon Tree Bodhisattva. Now, Ao Peng was about to use the tens of thousands of demonic thoughts before him to create his own Bitter Sea.

The Xuanming Sea of Life and Death is the source of all waters. If we trace it back to its essence, it can even be considered the initial form after the creation of a world, making it perfectly suited for evolving into the Sea of Bitterness.

[With the help of the 'Naga Finger Bone' and the 'Buddha-Demon Seal,' you have comprehended the second chapter of the Profound Netherworld Life and Death Sea, the Boundless Sea of Suffering. All attributes +0.2.]

Streams of incense smoke fell from Ao Peng's spiritual platform, into the boundless sea of suffering, making the sea of suffering before him appear even more real.

It takes 100,000 incense sticks to condense the second chapter pattern. Ao Peng protected more than 5,000 people in Taodu Mountain for half a year. Apart from the cost of suppressing the ghosts, he also obtained millions of pure incense sticks, so he could afford to give 100,000 incense sticks.

The sea of bitterness was murky, and no matter where these demonic remnants ran, as long as they touched the seawater, it was as if there were hands beneath the deep water dragging their demonic thoughts into the sea.

Once you are dragged into the sea of suffering, no matter how powerful you are, you will only be condemned to eternal damnation!

On the contrary, the Heavenly Venerables and Bodhisattvas manifested by the twelve Taoist Palace Lanterns, standing above the Sea of Bitterness, are able to avoid being affected by it because of their very existence. So they are like fish in water at this moment. They only need to wave their magical weapons to throw the demons into the Sea of Bitterness. No matter how much resurrection they have, as long as they are drowning in the Sea of Bitterness, they will find it difficult to escape their calamity!

As one demon after another was cast into the sea of suffering to be refined.

The pure Qi of Subduing Demon Geng Metal continuously merged into Ao Peng's body. In the outside world, as the pure white Qi of Subduing Demon Geng Metal flowed in, the scattered white Qi spread, and then more and more, slowly dyeing the armor pure white.

[You are absorbing the ancient demonic thoughts and the subduing demonic Geng metal energy. Your Taiyin Three Corpses Refining True Talisman proficiency +1000.]

As his proficiency increased by two thousand, Ao Peng's understanding of the [Taiyin Three Corpses Refining True Talisman] became increasingly profound.

Ordinary practitioners cultivate the Taiyin Refinement Method by nurturing pure Taiyin Qi from the shed flesh of corpses. Ao Peng's [Taiyin Three Corpses Refining True Record] not only cultivates his own path but also cultivates external paths.

As the most powerful demon among demons, the more demons he subdues and integrates into his own body, the more corrupt he becomes, and the purer the world becomes.

As demonic thoughts entered Ao Peng's sea of suffering, his body began to swell from the inside out.

The demons trapped in the sea of suffering also realized this. While struggling in the sea of suffering, they shouted, "This Taoist priest is greedy! He doesn't even have the cultivation of one kalpa, yet he dares to try to accommodate so many of us! Even if this sea of suffering can bear it, he himself cannot!"

The demonic thoughts drowning in the sea of suffering looked up at Ao Peng, who was guarded by twelve Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Venerables on the spiritual platform. "Little Taoist, no matter how clever you are, you have been ruined by your greed. There are a hundred thousand demonic thoughts here. How can your little sea of suffering contain them?"

Ao Peng's face was ashen. He cast a spell again, so that the twelve palace lanterns would no longer knock the demonic thoughts into the sea of suffering, but instead would prevent the demonic thoughts from entering his mind.

"Although I haven't yet successfully cultivated this sea of suffering, it's enough to refine you all."

Ao Peng's actions further convinced the surrounding demonic thoughts that this Taoist priest could not suppress them all. So, one by one, the demonic thoughts used their supernatural powers to shout loudly in the sea of suffering, "Everyone, come in quickly! As long as we burst this Taoist priest's sea of suffering, after all his inheritances have been transformed into demons, we can all escape from this mountain of soldiers!"

Ao Peng's body continued to expand on the mountain of soldiers, and the vast sea of suffering spread outward from the inside, even manifesting a layer of illusion in the outside world.

The sea of suffering was filled with demons, but they were not panicked at this time. Instead, they began to call on their friends and companions. Ao Peng, the Taoist, also realized the danger and used twelve palace lanterns to isolate the sea of suffering.

However, this could not slow down the trend of Ao Peng's body cracking open. The shouts of demons came from inside, and the yin and yang blood vessels he had woven with Kundalini fire and corpse energy seemed to be out of control. Like a series of mad pythons, they not only did not stop absorbing the demonic thoughts outside, but instead plunged deeper into the Bing Mountain, constantly drawing in the demonic thoughts inside.

Seeing this scene, the demonic thoughts that had been lingering in front of him were now filled with greed and rushed into Ao Peng's body.

Even if they cannot seize Ao Peng's body, as long as they can burst Ao Peng's body from the inside, the numerous inherited merits scattered by Ao Peng will become nourishment for the demons present.

Even if this Taoist priest possessed extraordinary supernatural powers, he ultimately failed because of his own greed!

On his mind's eye, Ao Peng remained silent, but inwardly he was already overjoyed. If this pit hadn't been dug deep enough, how could he have caught so many fish?

If he were to act as bait, drawing out tens of thousands of demonic thoughts would be the limit. He would need these demonic thoughts, who had been swept into the sea of suffering, to become the wronged ghosts in order to capture even more demonic thoughts in this mountain of soldiers.

When the 100,000 demonic thoughts surged into the sea of suffering, even the inner landscape of the twelve chapters began to show invisible cracks because it only had two chapters of patterns.

"Gentlemen, just a little closer! This Taoist's spiritual platform is about to crack!"

On his spiritual platform, Ao Peng saw that the net was almost closed. He didn't want his Xuanming Sea of Life and Death to split open directly, so he revealed a red lotus in his hand.

Then it was thrown into the sea of suffering. The red lotus opened with eighteen petals, and wisps of deep red karmic fire emanated from the first petal, manifesting a boundless hell of fire.

This fiery hell fell into the sea of suffering, but instead of colliding with it, the two became one, like water and fire giving birth to each other.

Ao Peng sat upright on the spiritual platform, pointing to the lotus flower below, "Open."

The fiery lotus petals opened, forming an Avici Hell. Xiao Hun Dun, the master of the Xuanming Sea of Life and Death, flapped his wings and flew down from Ao Peng's spiritual platform, transforming the light of the moon into a whip, which he forcefully struck the many demonic thoughts that were drowning in the sea of suffering.

These demonic thoughts groaned in pain, but what terrified them even more was that the whip, carrying the guiding function of [Taiyin Tongyou], struck the sea of bitterness, guiding the path of the underworld, causing the waves of the sea of bitterness to surge and continuously flow into the red lotus.

At the same time, more incense sticks fell from Ao Peng's hands and merged into the [Avici Red Lotus Temple], mobilizing the rules of the eighteen levels of hell that were already taking shape, and constructing another sea of suffering above the fiery hell.

The void opened up, and the second petal of the red lotus was dark in color. Although it was only the size of a palm, there was another world inside, like a vast ocean connected with the suffering of the mortal world. It was endless. No matter if you are a peerless demon or a god or Buddha in the heavens, as long as you do not transcend, you will be swept up by the waves of the sea of suffering and be forever trapped in it.
