Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 447: Chapter 201 Half-Step Boundary-Opening Treasure_2

The deities of the heavens, the multifold beings of the human realm, and the hells of the Ghost Path—these three realms seemed to form a delicate tapestry that encompassed all worlds and all phenomena, allowing the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda to complete that crucial transformation.

Feeling the rhythm within, Shen Yuan’s pupils trembled slightly as he murmured,

“Ten thousand years ago, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda was valued by Great Divine Immortal Minghao precisely because it had the potential to transform into a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure.

Great Divine Immortal Minghao, a disciple of Dongji Qinghua Palace and Taiyi Salvation Exalted One, was also a grand-disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Although he was a Major Heavenly Immortal, his revered status far surpassed that of the 10th Hall Yama.

The fact that the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda was regarded highly by Great Divine Immortal Minghao is proof enough of its extraordinariness.”

“The era of Spirit Energy Exhaustion was fatal for any Immortal Artifact, as even the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword was almost worn away by the Spirit Energy depletion.

Only the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, with the massive consumption of Primal Chaos Energy, could link to the earth’s meridians to establish the Netherworld territory and divide its inner space into the 18 Levels of Hell to imprison the numerous evil spirits.

Deeply bound with the entire Netherworld, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda leveraged the vast influence of the Netherworld not only to resist the bulk of the impact from the Spirit Energy Exhaustion era but to also undergo destruction and then stand anew, completing the evolution into a synthesis of gods, ghosts, and humans—achieving that crucial transformation.

At this moment, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda had already acquired the status of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure!”

Upon this thought, Shen Yuan could no longer maintain his composure.

Having the status of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure was nearly indistinguishable from possessing a true Boundary-opening Treasure.

With its status uncompromised, the Primal Chaos Energy and the treasure pagoda’s spirit essence that had been consumed only required the revival of the grand Primal Chaos Realm to be easily restored.

Merely possessing the potential of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure was enough to incite the disciples of Exalted Ones to descend and vie for it, let alone a genuine Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure?

This kind of divine treasure would inevitably spark a scramble among many Golden Immortals, and even some Exalted Ones and Emperors might make a move in secret.

After all, not every Exalted One or Emperor possessed a real Boundary-opening Treasure.

Especially for Divinity Path Emperors, most of the Boundary-opening Treasures they owned relied on Divinity Path rules to unleash their power.

Yet the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda had evolved from an Immortal Artifact, possessing the potential to become a true Boundary-opening Treasure, enough to provoke action from Divinity Path Emperors.

As for so-called Netherworld Treasures, very few indeed reach the level of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure. For example, the Karmic Mirror also relies on Netherworld Divinity Path rules to exert the power of a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure.

The Karmic Mirror, away from the Netherworld Divinity Path rules and requiring the burning of Yama’s Spirit Soul to wield the powers of accusation and conviction, highlights the limitations of such Divine Treasures.

Shen Yuan’s right hand hovered under the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, with Netherworld rules guarding around this treasure pagoda.

For the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, humanity, ghosts, and deities formed its fundamental Great Path; the so-called Netherworld rules were merely an external evolution.

“Suppress!”

A soft Imperial Edict emerged from Shen Yuan’s lips, and that majestic treasure pagoda emitted a dark radiance, pressing down towards the firmament above, overwhelming the Karmic Mirror that reflects the karma of all beings.

Theoretically speaking, every creature in the world has karma, and even the true Buddhas who have shaped their golden bodies through eighty-one great tribulations still bear the troubles of karma.

Karma and virtue are not unified; towering virtue cannot simply erase the impact of karma—unless it is consumed by the karma fire, karma will only increase, not decrease.

Because of this, the Karmic Mirror can reflect all beings and restrain all kinds of creatures.

But there is one thing that the Karmic Mirror cannot restrain, and that is the possession of great virtue itself.

The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda is not a living being; it evolved the 18 Levels of Hell to suppress the Netherworld for ten thousand years, cleansing countless evil spirits and lost souls of their sins, accumulating enough virtue to transform into a Virtuous Treasure.

This kind of Virtuous Treasure is beyond the scope of the Karmic Mirror’s reflection; the Karmic Mirror cannot provoke the Karma Fire to convict it.

On the contrary, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, holding the advantage of the Netherworld rules and its fundamental status as a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure, could crush the Karmic Mirror that depended on the burning of Yama’s Spirit Soul for its restored power.

Like the thunderous roar of creation, the sound exploded over the entire territory of Tai Province, and the Karmic Mirror that overshadowed the sun and reflected all creatures shattered under this strike.

The form of the White Robed Emperor, about to solidify within the Karmic Mirror, dissipated, and the Nameless Karma Fire that covered the entirety of Luoshan County was extinguished as well.

“Crack!”

In the hands of Qinguang King, a clear crack appeared on the black and white Karmic Mirror.

The shattering of the Karmic Mirror above the firmament directly damaged the mirror’s entity.

“Damn it!!!”

The Qinguang King’s eyes were nearly splitting with anger as he gripped the Karmic Mirror.

If the Karmic Mirror had been within the kingdom of Hell, its divinity and authority intertwined with the entire might of Hell, it could have suppressed the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda by leveraging Hell’s power, even if restrained.

But now, because the Karmic Mirror came from another realm and was suppressed by the Primal Chaos Realm, it lost its home-advantage against the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda and was naturally suppressed by the Virtuous Treasure, ultimately suffering damage to its very essence under the impact of these combined conditions.

Inside Fengdu City, without the suppression of the Nameless Karma Fire, powerful ghostly presences began to reawaken.

None of these supernatural beings could compare to Qinguang King; even the strongest among them, Bull Head, was inferior to Qinguang King.

Yet the multitude of supernatural beings was sufficient to influence the Netherworld rules. United, they could easily overwhelm Qinguang King, who was left only with Ghost Path cultivation.

The dim firmament cracked apart, the earth trembled and collapsed. Having undergone the burning of the Nameless Karma Fire, even the ghosts who previously feared Qinguang King’s name now held nothing back.
