Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1143 - 408: Heavenly King Fifth Layer, When in Rome

Kill Chao Ge?

Upon hearing the heartfelt voices of All Saints along the way, Ji Jingqiu felt complex emotions, indescribable.

He indeed guessed right, the ultimate target of this Heaven and Earth killing tribulation was not someone else, but Chao Ge, who single-handedly caused all this.

Besides, Wuzhou had previously wondered where the True Saints of this realm had gone. As it looks now, could they all have perished in this great tribulation? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This left Ji Jingqiu bewildered.

Chao Ge suddenly failed in transcendence; what kind of great tribulation did it provoke, causing so many True Saints to be unable even to escape?

Neither Wuzhou nor Hel could answer this question for him, and even Sword Light, upon hearing his doubt, merely flickered, providing no answer.

"There might still be survivors, though you wouldn't know if there were, at least they would have escaped to the Sea of Realms." Hel unexpectedly said, "You should focus on the present, with All Saints using their remaining spiritual light of the Innate essence, resisting the myriad negative emotions mixed within the Heaven and Earth killing tribulation. You have to seize the opportunity."

The spiritual light of All Saints seemed to fall from infinite heights, shining deep into Ji Jingqiu's spirit.

Just as he didn't know what to use to receive it, the newborn yet extremely tender Wisdom Light quietly appeared.

Feeling the emergence of this strand of Wisdom Light, Ji Jingqiu was even more shocked than feeling All Saints' intention to kill Chao Ge.

He had long had various conjectures about the origin of Wisdom Light, but no matter which one, it should correspond to his "homeland," yet now it interferes from outside the realm.

This already surpassed its position, akin to one Tao overstepping its bounds!

Ji Jingqiu's mind surged with emotions.

Perhaps since he opened up the world, choosing to send Wisdom Light to humanity, to the Nether Sea, the newborn Wisdom Light had already transcended its original positional shackles?

No matter if the speculation is correct or not.

Ji Jingqiu hesitated not for a moment, for with the assistance of All Saints, various negative emotions from the killing tribulation were also boiling.

These mixed feelings of evil, chaos, slaughter, and annihilation, felt cold and burning, as if pushing him towards madness.

Ji Jingqiu adeptly illuminated the Wisdom Light, attracting All Saints' spiritual light to descend, diminishing and countering the negative persona from the killing tribulation.

Subsequently, the Wisdom Light instead illuminated the hearts of All Saints, allowing them, standing on either side of the Time River like maintaining its entirety, to raise their heads as if witnessing something unbelievable.

Ji Jingqiu could no longer care about these.

He could feel that Wisdom Light was also undergoing further transformation.

This finally enabled him to suppress the various negative emotions of the killing tribulation, the latter seemed to quiet down like a calm sea.

This scene made Ji Jingqiu as if dreaming back before opening the world, once again allowing the Wisdom Light to shine into the hearts of all beings, slightly soothing the rampant killing tribulation.

He seized the opportunity, achieving it in one go, using One Qi to Three Pure Ones to cut out the last clone, from obscurity to clarity.

The man stepping out from Innate Qi didn't have the reasons of four Divine Lords nor the Supreme True Buddha, surprisingly bore Ji Jingqiu's face, just slightly matured, with a weathered appearance, and tired eyes, just like him in middle age.

On him, a peculiar aura swirled.

Ji Jingqiu felt that it surprisingly had a faintly similar sense of demise as the Death Demon.

It is the destruction of realms, the end of epochs, the disintegration of Tao, the annihilation and silent annihilation of all things.

"There's actually no killing intent?" Wuzhou suddenly spoke, "Is this clone centered on Wisdom Light?"

Ji Jingqiu also noticed the peculiarity.

This clone bearing the negativity of the killing tribulation lacked the core of endless killing intent from the tribulation's origin.

Ji Jingqiu nodded in mutual acknowledgment with the clone, the three bodies cut by One Qi to Three Pure Ones were not merely clones but more like summoning himself from a certain timeline.

"Born from the killing tribulation, perhaps call it Miesheng Taoist, how about it?"

Ji Jingqiu bowed.

Miesheng Taoist returned the salute: "As per Taoist Friend's words."

"Taoist Friend has no overwhelming killing intent, could something unusual have occurred?" Ji Jingqiu carefully observed Miesheng, asking.

Miesheng Taoist's eyes were pitch black, like the boundless universe without starlight.

"It is no longer important."

"I will temporarily oversee this place, bearing the negativity of the killing tribulation for Taoist Friend, quietly waiting for Taoist Friend to return after severing the tribulation's fruit."

"Before departure, I gift Brother only this phrase—"

"Kill to protect life, sever karma not people."

Ji Jingqiu deeply looked at his third clone.

He and the clone ultimately were separate in form yet united in heart, instantly understanding each other's meaning.

Though the process had its twists, Wuzhou's suggestion was finally completed.

"I trouble Taoist Friend."

Ji Jingqiu bowed, while feeling the repulsion of the Time River.

Before parting, he turned back the last time, seeing Miesheng voluntarily walking into the Time River, letting the years wash over him.

"Unexpectedly, something did happen, yet it was not the 'Supreme Heavenly Demon' I expected."

Ji Jingqiu heard inside the Inner Realm, Wuzhou's intense regret.

Now he could roughly guess Wuzhou wanted to see was a true Supreme Heavenly Demon bearing the Heaven and Earth killing tribulation, stemming from him, Ji Jingqiu, and also born from this realm's endless life forms.

He descended aboard a leaf-like Void Boat, walking out from the Time River, returning to the stars.

At the moment of return, Ji Jingqiu no longer suppressed the favor of the killing tribulation.

He could faintly feel Miesheng's presence, helping him restrain the invisible negativity from the killing tribulation.

And the empowerment from the killing tribulation, at this moment exploded without reservation, the invisible realm's bottleneck was forcibly pried open by a vast boundless Dao Power!

"Is this the empowerment from the killing tribulation's favor? Indeed terrifying, and this is only a quarter, even in this realm already broken, unable to uphold completely…"
