Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 502 - : Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus (Third Update!)

(PS: I proposed last night and it was a success, as you all understand, hehehe! First up, three chapters, the last one will be a bit late to write and upload!)

Netherworld ghost flame?

Nether River Ancestor’s eyes narrowed. “The netherworld ghost flame from the Sarcophagus Lamp? One of the Four Great Spirit Lamps, truly as legendary as its reputation!”

Feeling the intense chill from the netherworld ghost flame, Nether River Ancestor’s heart chilled, knowing it could not afford to be tainted by this ghost flame or it would be troublesome indeed!

“Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!”

With a thought, Nether River Ancestor summoned the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, standing upon it, enveloped in blazing karmic fire, which blocked the netherworld ghost flame released by the Sarcophagus Lamp.

Karmic fire? It’s the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!

The pupils of Ran Deng Buddha suddenly constricted, and his expression darkened. The Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, ranked alongside the Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus and the Twelve Grade World-Ending Black Lotus as part of the Twelve Grade Lotus Platforms.

The Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus originally belonged to the Guiding Daoist, but during the battle of Divine Enthronement, it was drained of its third grade by Mosquito Daoist, reducing it to the superior grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus. As for the Twelve Grade World-Ending Black Lotus, Sun Wukong had already seen it in the hands of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu.

The defensive power of the Twelve Grade Lotus Platforms was astonishing. Simply sitting upon one could defend against any attack, though, of course, this was all relative, depending on how the user’s cultivation strength could fully manifest the mighty power of the Twelve Grade Lotus Platform.

However, for the current Nether River Ancestor, it was already enough to fully unleash the power of the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!

“Damn it!”

Ran Deng Buddha clenched his teeth fiercely. His attacks were completely blocked by the Karmic Fire transformed from the merit power above the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, even the netherworld ghost flame couldn’t penetrate it, not harming Nether River Ancestor in the slightest.

“How could the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus end up in the hands of that old ghost Nether River? Damn it!”

Ran Deng Buddha’s heart was full of jealousy at this moment. Tathagata Buddha had received the Nine Grade Merit Golden Lotus from Amitabha, which was enough to make him envious. With the Nine Grade Merit Golden Lotus, Tathagata Buddha could gather the Power of Faith and obtain Heavenly Dao’s merit far surpassing others, thus reaching the peak of the Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint Realm in a few thousand years, and was about to break into the Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint Realm.

If the downgraded Nine Grade Merit Golden Lotus was so powerful, how could one not be envious of the even more heavenly Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, stemming from the same origin but a grade higher?

“Ran Deng bald donkey, had enough yet? Didn’t you say you wanted to show me some color? I’m waiting right here, where’s your color?”

Nether River Ancestor’s face was full of mockery, sneering at Ran Deng Buddha, “If you have no colors to show, then let me show you some color instead!”

As soon as his words fell, the remaining Karmic Fire on the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus suddenly blazed furiously, pushing aside the netherworld ghost flame, transforming into a fire dragon and charging toward Ran Deng Buddha.

“This is bad!”

Ran Deng Buddha was greatly horrified, realizing that the Nether Ghost Flame could burn the Soul’s True Spirit and had an extremely strong attachment ability. The Red Lotus Karma Fire was just as fierce—once contaminated, one would be endlessly entangled by Karma Power, and the Buddha Primordial Force painstakingly cultivated would quickly vanish under the power of karma. No one could bear it!

Retreat, he must retreat quickly!

With Buddha’s Light protecting his body, Ran Deng Buddha hastily retreated. The Sarcophagus Lamp floated in front of him, and the Nether Ghost Flame that originally surged out in attacks was now completely used for defense, forming a circle of flaming protective shields that enveloped Ran Deng Buddha, resisting the erosion from the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

“Nether River, this fellow, still had this trick up his sleeve!”

A gleam flashed in the eyes of Yama Heavenly Son who was watching from the sidelines. He had clashed with Nether River Ancestor many times and yet had never seen Nether River Ancestor use the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. This fellow had hidden it really deep!

“Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!”

A gleam flashed in Wukong’s eyes, “This must be something Nether River Ancestor acquired recently, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept it unused. I recall the first time we met, he was badly beaten by you, Yama Brother, and many of his Blood God Avatars were destroyed!”

With treasures at hand, no one would foolishly hide them and not use them, especially not a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. If Nether River Ancestor had possessed this treasure back then, he would have used it during his duel with Yama Heavenly Son and wouldn’t have been forced to use his Blood God Avatars to escape.

“Hmm, there’s some truth to that!”

Yama Heavenly Son thoughtfully nodded, “This Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus is indeed a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Perhaps previously, Nether River’s cultivation strength was insufficient to subdue it, which is why he didn’t bring it out?”

“Why bother with so much? With the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to assist him, Nether River Old Ghost won’t have any problems dealing with that Ran Deng baldy. Now, only the Donghua Emperor is left!”

Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen smacked his lips, he had once absorbed the essence of a Third Grade Merit Golden Lotus, significantly boosting his cultivation to the Quasi-Saint Realm. Seeing the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus now, it was impossible not to be tempted. However, Nether River Ancestor was different from the Guiding Daoist he encountered before, and the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus was different from the Merit Golden Lotus—it not only had astonishing defensive power, but the Karmic Fire Red Lotus formed was also extremely powerful in burning; Luo Wen did not want to take the risk.

“Why don’t you leave this Donghua Emperor to me, and I’ll see just how powerful the strongest amongst the Five Great Emperors of Heavenly Court really is!”

As Mosquito Daoist spoke, his figure moved and he charged towards the Donghua Emperor, swinging his long spear fiercely at the Emperor and shouted, “Donghua Emperor, come fight your grandpa Luo for three hundred rounds!”

The Donghua Emperor had initially not wanted to attack Wukong but was compelled by his duty and the Jade Emperor’s urging to make sporadic attacks. After Wukong was saved, he immediately stopped attacking and simply stood by quietly observing the situation, only for Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen to actively seek him out!

“Well met, let this emperor see what this exceptional creature from heaven and earth is capable of!”

The Donghua Emperor’s fondness was only towards Wukong alone, not holding any good impression of Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen, this notorious mosquito who was infamous during the Divine Enthronement battle for gruesomely draining the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother dry.

Donghua Emperor’s duty was to defend Heavenly Court from all sorts of encroachments. Now that Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen had brazenly come to cause trouble in Heavenly Court, challenging him directly, he would certainly not show weakness. With a cold snort, he swung his Immortal Sword and engaged in battle with the Mosquito Daoist.

The Donghua Emperor was also a Sword Immortal, with a level of comprehension and application of the Sword Dao that was surpassed only by Sect Hierarch Tongtian in the entire Three Realms. Once the battle commenced, sword qi crisscrossed wildly, countless sword lights enveloped Mosquito Daoist, launching a fierce assault.
