My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 801: Heavenly Soul

Mustard Seed Space is a treasure of Buddhism with unimaginable power, but only Buddhist can wield it!

When Zhou Qi thought of this, the horror in his eyes faded away, replaced by surging killing intent.

“The Mustard Seed Space that cannot be used is no different from a mere stone. Yet you dare to come before me with such an item. You are truly ignorant of your own life and death!” As his words fell, countless ghostly hands emerged within a radius of ten feet under his feet, binding Qin Feng firmly like chains, leaving only his right hand holding the Mustard Seed Space.

At the same time, Zhou Qi’s expression turned fierce. With his left hand raised to the sky, the countless souls of the Netherworld screamed and condensed into a mass, forming a hundred-zhang-long black Blade of Slaughter that fiercely descended towards Qin Feng.

“Die for me!” 

Buzz! 

At the moment the killing blade fell, the Mustard Seed Space suddenly burst with dazzling golden light, accompanied by clear Buddhist chants.

The ghostly hands binding Qin Feng instantly disintegrated upon touching the golden Buddhist light, emitting white smoke. And the terrifying hundred-zhang-long Blade of Slaughter collapsed the moment the Buddhist chants sounded with piercing screams echoing incessantly!

“No, this can’t be!” Zhou Qi’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was very familiar with the sound of this Buddha’s voice. It was the voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

Just then, golden light radiated from Qin Feng’s body, and in an instant, a golden shadow appeared above his head, and that was none other than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

It turned out that when Zhou Qi sealed off the Cuiyun Palace and attempted to kill Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the latter had sensed Qin Feng and the others outside the mountain.

Using his own Dharma and merits, he not only saved the lost souls but also sent a wisp of his soul into Qin Feng’s Mustard Seed Space, hence the current scene!

“Zhou Qi, in the boundless sea of suffering, turn back while you still can.” The illusion of Ksitigarbha clasped his hands together, his voice filled with Buddhist chants, trying to convince the other party to stop making mistakes.

However, Zhou Qi had long gone mad; how could he repent now?

“You damned bald donkey, after you have been transformed into a stone sculpture and sealed, you still want to oppose me? The shattering of the Three Realms is inevitable. You’re the one who’s deluded and plunging into the sea of suffering, and you still want to convince me to turn back?” 

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed, “The cycle of cause and effect is all predetermined.”

“Predetermined? I refuse to believe it!” Zhou Qi roared as a surging Netherworld Qi appeared in his left palm, turning into a black and monstrous ghost fire.

He thrust his left palm forward violently, and the ghostly fire, like a collapsing mountain, seemed to want to destroy Qin Feng along with the illusion of Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head, and the Buddhist light turned into a golden bell, protecting Qin Feng within. No matter how fierce the ghostly fire was, it couldn’t harm Qin Feng inside the golden bell even a bit.

As things came to this point, Ksitigarbha understood that the moment the other party chose to betray the Netherworld, there was no turning back.

But these souls trapped in the killing prison should not be buried with him. 

Ksitigarbha’s illusion closed his eyes slightly, and behind the illusion, the golden light of the swastika seal emerged. The dazzling Buddhist light dispersed the black mist in the killing prison and fell onto the souls.

The expected painful wails did not appear. Instead, the terrifying and ferocious faces of those souls gradually returned to their original appearance after being enveloped by the Buddhist light.

They were originally tortured undead souls who could not be reincarnated. They became what they are now only because of the baptism of resentment in the killing prison.

Now that the resentment was dissipated, they naturally returned to their original selves.

“The laws of heaven and earth in the Netherworld have not been restored, and you still cannot reincarnate. But I believe, this young benefactor will one day restore the order of the Three Realms and reopen the path of reincarnation. Before that, you can enter the Mustard Seed Space. When the Netherworld is rebuilt, the benefactor will naturally release you.” 

Qin Feng’s amber eyes showed a hint of astonishment. Even in his current state of calmness, he couldn’t help but scoff, wondering if the master was promising these souls something unrealistic?

Countless souls shed tears and bowed in gratitude, “Thank you, Master, thank you, young benefactor, we are willing to wait.” 

As the words fell, the souls turned into torrents and poured into the Mustard Seed Space until they disappeared.

And the killing prison also began to disintegrate. It was a Domain built on the foundation of these souls. With the departure of the souls, the Domain naturally ceased to exist.

The illusion of Ksitigarbha gradually faded away. He was a wisp of soul separated from his original self and couldn’t exist for long. Now that the souls in the killing prison had found temporary refuge, a weight lifted from his heart.

However, before completely dissipating, he needed to lend Qin Feng another helping hand. With a flick of his finger, the Buddhist light shone towards Zhou Qi’s right arm.

The right hand that had been pierced by the golden light earlier was once again in pain, as if ants were gnawing at it, distorting Zhou Qi’s face with ferocity.

The power of the Buddhist seal manifested, conflicting with the sinister object attached to Zhou Qi’s right arm. The flesh began to squirm and expand, instantly bursting open the sleeve.

…Boom! 

A terrifying wave of energy swept around, shocking everyone. Just when the Killing Prison – The Myriad Ghosts Gather—had just been set up, it collapsed in the blink of an eye?

“What… what’s going on?” The ghost soldiers and generals swallowed saliva, unaware of what had happened.

Zhang Heng said in a deep voice, “The flow of time inside the killing prison is different from the outside world. What seems like an instant to us may be hundreds or thousands of years inside. And the disappearance of the killing prison can only mean two possibilities—one, that boy used his own strength to break the killing prison. Two… he has been erased by the killing prison with his soul imprisoned in endless time and space…” 

Zhao Wenhao’s expression became incredibly grave upon hearing this.

But just then, someone exclaimed, “Look, what’s that?!” 

As the black mist dissipated, everyone saw a giant hand made of flesh and blood protruding.

It was clearly the appearance of an indestructible monster! 

However, as the people of the Netherworld looked towards the source of the giant hand, they were all shocked beyond measure, because the giant hand was actually growing on the body of Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi!

“How… how is this possible?!”

“The Central Ghost Emperor actually betrayed the Netherworld and joined those indestructible monsters?”

“Southern Ghost Emperor Qin, he’s truly been wronged.” 

The people of the Netherworld were unable to accept this fact for a while, feeling a heavy pressure in their chests.

You should know that during the time when the Ghost Lord was reborn, Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi was their pillar…

“Is that really so?”  Zhao Wenhe closed his eyes with a complicated expression. Although he had long suspected, seeing it with his own eyes still made it difficult to accept this fact.

Beside him, Zhang Heng also furrowed his brows, eventually sighing deeply. Seeing this scene, Shentu stood dumbfounded in mid-air.

“No, it’s impossible. Lord Zhou Qi was supposed to lead us in revitalizing the Netherworld. How could… how could he betray us…” 

Glancing at Shentu’s lost expression, Zhang Heng secretly thought, ‘So he’s been kept in the dark all this time and he was just a pawn in Zhou Qi’s hands. But considering it, among the Ghost Emperors who have persisted until now, he, after all, holds Zhou Qi in the highest regard.’ 

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng couldn’t help but smile bitterly, reminiscing about how, under Lord Zhou’s teachings, he himself had gradually grown into a Ghost Emperor.

It’s a pity that thousands of years was too long, and everything has changed too much… 

Boom! 

The ferocious giant hand suddenly slapped down, causing the earth to tremble.

However, in the face of Qin Feng’s divination, such moves were utterly meaningless. 

Seeing that he was completely exposed, Zhou Qi didn’t bother to conceal anymore. His old face was filled with blue veins, and his blood-red eyes made people shudder. 

“Boy, I know this power doesn’t belong to you. You must have paid a great price to reach your current state. How long can you withstand this power with your current body?” 

Qin Feng didn’t respond, but a gentle voice echoed in his mind, “He’s right. In the Netherworld, without the moonlight shining, my Dao power is suppressed. I won’t be able to protect you for much longer. Moreover, He has already left your body and gone to the Immortal Realm. The power left in your Divine Sea is limited.” 

The ‘He’ mentioned by the white deer naturally referred to Xuan Yi.

“You can maintain this form for at most the time it takes to burn an incense stick.” Qin Feng understood and frowned slightly.

Naturally, he could use his remaining strength to unleash Divine Might and deal with the completely transformed Zhou Qi before him.

However, the forces behind the opponent had not yet appeared, and he was worried about unexpected circumstances. 

After all, last night, he had borrowed the power of the Dao of Heavenly Mandate to peer into the future, but in that future, there was always a veil obscuring his vision, preventing him from seeing the final fate of his father and the Netherworld… 

While he was pondering, Zhou Qi suddenly made a move, and his ferocious giant hand thrust out with astonishing power.

But Qin Feng frowned because his divination didn’t foresee the opponent’s attack. This giant hand wasn’t coming towards him but…

“Father!” Qin Feng suddenly turned around. The weak Father Qin was still stunned in the air, watching helplessly as the powerful attack came.

Zhou Qi’s eyes were bloodshot, “There’s still a chance. As long as we can take him to the Golden Bowl, when that person breaks free from the seal, we can still retrieve what’s inside him!” 

Just then, the sky above the entire Netherworld suddenly darkened.

The seal at the Golden Bowl, eroded over the years, was already on the brink of collapse. With Zhou Qi’s instigation, it finally shattered at this moment!

Countless monsters broke free of their restraints and rushed toward the Netherworld, including a transparent giant figure. It stretched lazily, then turned its head in the direction of the Netherworld Pillar. But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from its original location.

When it reappeared, it had merged directly into Zhou Qi’s ferocious giant hand! 

Boom! 

Just the pressure emanating from the phantom alone crushed countless weak ghost soldiers!

If Zhao Wenhao and others hadn’t reacted in time and dispersed the domain to resist, countless people in the Netherworld would have died. Their brows furrowed as they looked at the newcomer and their eyes widened in shock.

Only Zhou Qi looked extremely excited.

“Heavenly Soul… My lord.”
