Chapter 19: Hong Jun Fights Luohou
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Hundred years later, a riot broke out again in Blood Sea, which was smaller than the twice before. A great amount of energy penetrated from Sacred Island, even including the power of the Divine Law. On Sacred Island, Minghe was sitting on the Red Lotus of Fire, with the Magical Tao Mirror which was refined hundred years ago suspending in front.
After hundred years of Closed Door Meditation, Minghe had successfully stepped into the Realm of Sage-to-be. With his firm foundation, although he was only at the early stage of Sage-to-be, Minghe could be considered among the strongest in Untainted Land. As for the Law of Killing and the Law of Spiritual Beings, he had successfully achieved enlightenment by 30 percent.
Besides, Minghe had also been enlightened by another kind of the Divine Law, the Law of Blood, which was the Law of Origin of Blood Sea. Refining his body with the Law of Blood was the most suitable way for Minghe to return to Genesis on his road to Rakshasa. In this way, the quality of his blood lineage could be improved. Due to the Law of Origin of Blood Sea, although Minghe’s enlightenment was a little bit late, he could still reach 30 percent of that.
Coordinating with the Law of Blood and the Law of Spiritual Beings, Minghe had comprended another kind of Magic Skills, the Rebirth with Blood Drops. Originally, Minghe could reborn through his Clones of Blood God or Blood God Doppelgangers even if he was killed. However, compared with Minghe himself, the foundation of the Clones of Blood God and the Blood God Doppelgangers were too bad.
It was different now. One drop of blood was enough to allow him to be reborn. Even though he would be seriously injured, there was at least still hope to regain his previous glory. If Minghe kept some of his blood in Blood Sea, he could be reborn in the sea even if he was killed elsewhere.
Besides his cultivation breakthrough, Minghe also reorganized his exercise methods and officially named them the Mazinger Magic Skills. He had made up his mind to become Rakshasa. This time he had comprehended a few principles of Mazinger from the Spiritual Inheritance of Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, so he would not miss it.

Under the natural law, there would only be six Sages besides Hongjun. They were Three Pristine Ones, Goddess Nyuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi from the Foundation of the Great Way was a necessary condition to become a Sage of the Heavenly Way. Later, there would be another Hong Meng Immortal Qi. That unfortunate fool was Hongyun.
However, one needed to leave his Original Spirit with the Way of Heaven to become a Sage of the Heavenly Way. Although one would become immortal after becoming a Sage, there was still a shortcoming. If Untainted Land or the Way of Heaven was destroyed, one would die with it. This was not what Minghe wanted.
The rearranged Mazinger Magic Skill was a method for becoming Rakshasa. Minghe was not sure whether he was on the way to become Rakshasa, but the prediction of his Magical Tao Mirror told it was possible. There were too many obstacles in front of him, so he could only trust his Magical Tao Mirror and himself.
Looking at the Magical Tao Mirror, Minghe had a love-hate relationship with it. During the short hundred years, with the help of it, Minghe greatly improved. However, it also consumed 20 percent to 30 percent of his collection among the tens of thousands of years. This collection not only contained his own treasure, but also the others he stole from the storehouse of the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land. Although the 20 percent to 30 percent was low-grade treasure, the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin would also consider them precious.
Since all his low-grade treasures had nearly been consumed, Ming He needed to feed the mirror slightly higher-grade materials or even Spiritual Fruits. He was not too happy about doing so, as he knew he still had a long way to go before breaking into the Genesis. It was akin to marriage, where the path of spending had just begun.
A shudder cold ran through Minghe when he thought about this. But no pains, no gains. He saw a great boost in his power after breaking into the realm of Sage-to-be. Particularly, his clones and doppelgangers achieved a new realm, achieving 480 million Primordial Unity Golden Immortals and 49 Daluo Golden Immortals respectively. Coupled with his Blood River Formation, not even Honjun or Luohou could escape unscratched from him.
While Minghe was immersed in his thoughts, the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin were engaged in a fierce war against the Devil Tribe in the west of Untainted World. Out of the blue, a strike of Evil Spirit pierced the sky and filled the west with an ominous air. When a formation wrapped by four combative swords appeared on the battlefield, the three tribes made an immediate retreat.
By contrast, the Devil Tribe appeared untouched and even pursued the three tribes, forcing them out of the inner parts of the western territory. At the moment, the sword formation in the west attracted all the Evil Spirit in Untainted Land resulting from the Cultivation Tribulation. The entire western region was covered with Evil Spirit, enveloping it in the darkness that shadowed the heaven and earth.
In front of their armies, Zulong, Lord of Phoenix, and Forefather of Kylin all stood suspended in the air. Their expressions were grim as they stared at the sword formation that suddenly popped up in the west. Luohou, on his Level 12 Black Lotus of Destruction, sat at the center of the formation. Looking at them, he laughed. "Well? You all look shocked to see me."
He was right. The three of them were definitely shocked. They only made it to the Secondary Stage of the Sage-to-be thanks to the Luck of their tribes were bestowed with. However, Luohou’s cultivation was fathomless and his aura alone exerted so much pressure on them. It was definitely not the effect of him being someone of a lower realm, but the Peak Level of the Sage-to-be. Considering this possibility, they could not help being astounded.
Just as Luohou was about to speak, a rhyme descended from the sky: "On the nine clouds, I realized the real Tao. Outside of the Baraka, I’ll be respected as a master. Pangu turned into heaven and earth; two images turned into four. Talents are born in the Taoism, and Hongjun is one of the best." A golden bridge materialized in the sky. That was a Primordial Supreme Treasure of the highest grade, the Map of Taichi. And the man who was standing on the bridge was none other than Hongjun himself.
The three of them were once again shocked by Hongjun’s appearance. This was another master who was at the peak level of Sage-to-be. Had the world gone mad? They were the ones with the best cultivation in the war of the three tribes, but two masters with precious treasures suddenly showed up. Even at their full strength, they were unlikely to match up to those two.
Hongjun told them, "Fellow Taoists, the Cultivation Tribulation is the result of your three tribes. It plunged the creatures in Untainted Land into misery and suffering. Have you ever considered how you will pay off your Karma?" Countless creatures died in the war among the three tribes. The majority of the Karma fell on the tribes, and a smaller portion on Luohou.
The three listened to Hongjun and looked at their luck of their tribes. They were alarmed that their luck had been badly destroyed. Under the weight of an endless Karma, it was likely that their tribes would soon be extinct in Untainted Land. After a moment of silence, they came to a decision.
Zulong said, "I, Zulong, am steeped in sins. I hope to die for the sake of my offsprings. Our Dragon Tribe swears to guard Four Seas forever to atone for our sins." The Lord of Phoenix continued, "I, Lord of Phoenix, am steeped in sins. I hope to die for the sake of my offsprings. In order to atone for our sins, our Phoenix Tribe swears to guard Sempiternal Volcano." And finally, Forefather of Kylin said, "I, Forefather of Kylin, am steeped in sins. I hope to die for the sake of offsprings. In order to atone for our sins, our Kylin Tribe swears to guard Untainted Land."
After making their vows, the three destroyed their Original Spirits at once. The Way of Heaven felt the disintegration of their souls and descended endless merits, which then disappeared immediately, paying off the majority of their Karma. The armies of the three tribes then retreated, thus marking their exit from the stage of Untainted Land.
Luohou looked at Hongjun with a faint smile on his face. "Hongjun, did you really think you have the ability to fight me? I didn’t think you would force the three ancestors to destroy their Original Spirits. They were at Secondary Stage of Sages-to-be. With their help, wouldn’t you have more confidence in defeating me?"
Luohou then clapped his hands, looking like realization hit him. "Oh! So you’re worried they’ll get a piece of your merits. However..." His expression turned grim. "Hongjun, you’re too arrogant. We’re both at the peak level of the Sage-to-be. There’s no telling who will be the victor. Don’t be too confident. Let’s see if you can break out of my God-killing Sword Formation first."
Luohou’s voice had barely faded when the formation suspended in the western sky came alive. This formation was a Highest Grade God-killing Sword Formation strengthened with a Primordial Supreme Treasure. It could dominate the killing methods of the Way of Heaven. Its many mysterious changes exuded endless menacing intent and promised invincible dangers. When the formation was created by a Sage, It would take more no fewer than four Sages to destroy it.
Hongjun showed no expression facing the formation, as if it had nothing to do with him. He stood in place without speaking or avoiding, merely allowing the formation to swallow him. Luohou was stunned by his seeming obedience and suspected he must be up to something. When it came to Hongjun, Luohou dared not be careless. He immediately followed Hongjun into the formation and started controlling it.
