Chapter 597 - Eyes of Reincarnation (1/2)

Ninth Nether Buddha looked at Lady Zhaoxuan and said, “You are unable to pay for his sins. You are already dead and your karma with him is over. When he falls, you can reincarnate and will no longer be attached to him.”

Hum—

A bell’s sound suddenly rang out, sounding throughout the entire Netherworld.

The rolling black clouds above opened up, and traces of golden light shined down.

Ren Niming stepped forwards and said, “Ninth Nether Buddha, since you’ve decided to act against us, can you at least tell us what is going on?”

Ninth Nether Buddha looked at him and said, “That Zhaoxuan you spoke of was a pawn that I sent so that Zhou Xuanji would know that Zhaoxuan was still alive. This way, I could also lure you out. With the way you do things, you would definitely use this opportunity to seek out Zhou Xuanji and bring him to the Netherworld.”

Ren Niming narrowed his eyes, his expression dark.

Everyone else looked up at the traces of golden light, and they felt a sense of danger.

Hearing that Zhou Xuanji had come because of her, Lady Zhaoxuan felt immensely guilty, and she sat paralyzed on the ground as if she had lost her soul.

Zhou Xuanji did not have time to comfort her. He looked up at Ninth Nether Buddha and asked, “Were you ordered to do this by destiny?”

He was very curious why Ninth Nether Buddha would target him.

“Destiny is just a concept; your existence has let me see what could happen in the future,” Ninth Nether Buddha replied calmly. He raised his left hand and prepared to attack.

The scene of the Netherworld around them suddenly changed, and it was replaced by a black void.

Ninth Nether Buddha knew that a big battle was about to unfold, so he released a barrier to separate them from the Netherworld to avoid the Netherworld from being damaged.

Ren Niming looked at Zhou Xuanji and said, “Looks like it was not as deep as we thought. Even if we can’t permanently kill him as long as the Netherworld exists, each time he dies, he will become weaker.”

A strange smile appeared on his face.

Ninth Nether Buddha narrowed his eyes. Under his gaze, Zhou Xuanji took out hundreds of swords and unleashed Sword Sect Immortal Ghost Weep, and he stepped into the sky.

Looking at Zhou Xuanji, Lady Zhaoxuan instinctively wanted to stop him. However, sensing Zhou Xuanji’s powerful aura, she could not manage to say anything.

“Is he already this powerful…”

Lady Zhaoxuan’s gaze became hazy as she sank into her thoughts.

How long had passed in the world of the living?

Ninth Nether Buddha asked, “Just who are you?”

He was unable to divine Zhou Xuanji’s roots.

There were not any records of him in the Netherworld either.

This boy seemed to have just appeared out of thin air, and he had become so powerful that all worlds shook before him in a matter of just a few hundred years.

Zhou Xuanji gave a slight smile before using the Primordial Chaos Sword Shadow.

Ten billion sword shadows appeared in the air, looking incredibly dense and filling up all space, their tips pointing towards Ninth Nether Buddha.

“This…” Lady Zhaoxuan’s eyes widened, a look of delight on her face.

It was the first time she had seen such a divine ability.

She suddenly realised why Ninth Nether Buddha would personally act.

Swish! Swish! Swish…

The ten billion sword shadows flew towards Ninth Nether Buddha simultaneously, shaking the air. They looked like an ocean of countless meteors, sweeping out.

“Amitabha!” Ninth Nether Buddha said as golden Buddhist runes appeared around him, quickly spinning, which formed a massive golden barrier that defended against the Primordial Chaos Sword Shadows.

Explosions sounded out, and brilliant light lit up the surrounding space.

Ninth Nether Buddha slightly frowned; he found that he had underestimated Zhou Xuanji.

What powerful magic energy!

And that sword!

His gaze locked onto the Thunderclap Sword. It was definitely a Heavenly Saint level treasure.

Could it be that there was a Heavenly Saint supporting Zhou Xuanji?

At that moment, Zhou Xuanji stood on a river of swords and shot at him.

Ninth Nether Buddha’s forehead suddenly split open as a red eye appeared. Countless ghosts flew out, and they howled as they flew at Zhou Xuanji.
