CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 504, BAI JIN BRIBES THE HEAVENLY DAO.

Ao Qin suddenly opened his dragon eyes and bellowed furiously, "How dare you!"

Nine-Headed Beast calmly said, "I dared to intrude into the West Sea Dragon Palace, is there anything I wouldn’t dare to do?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly interjected, "Good believer, do not act rashly. As long as you do not destroy this Divine Pearl, I guarantee you and your wife’s safety in the name of Buddhism."

Unperturbed, Nine-Headed Beast sneered inwardly, thinking, this woman and Ao Qin are in cahoots. If I believed you, I wouldn’t even know how I died.

Standing amidst the ruins, Gold Star Taibai, leaning on his sword, solemnly said, "Under the name of the Heavenly Court, I guarantee that as long as you and your wife do not break the Heavenly Rules, the Heavenly Court will ensure your safety."

Wansheng Princess turned her head to look at the Nine-Headed Beast and exclaimed excitedly, "Jiu Lang!"

Without hesitation, the Nine-Headed Beast threw the Divine Pearl in his hand, spouting a stream of green demon fire from his mouth. The Divine Pearl emitted a faint light within the flames, changing from white to red, as the sound of cracking echoed, and then—bang—the Divine Pearl shattered completely.

Within the Sea Eye of the West Sea, the Qi Fortune Divine Dragon collapsed instantly, and the West Sea’s Qi Fortune began to flow ceaselessly towards the East Sea, South Sea, and North Sea.

...

Within the Heavenly Court, Bai Jin was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He had thought that after so much had happened, the Nine-Headed Beast’s forcible wedding in the West Sea would not occur. Unexpectedly, the Nine-Headed Beast still brazenly made his move, even destroying the King’s Divine Pearl. Truly, legends can’t always be trusted!

Bai Jin looked towards Duo Bao Tathagata and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Duobao, it seems your plan wasn’t as reliable as you thought! The Qi Fortune of the West Sea Dragon Clan has also dissipated."

The smile on Duo Bao Tathagata’s face became stiff for a moment. Where did this freakish nine-headed bird come from? First Bai Jin, then Kong Xuan, then Golden Peng, and now this nine-headed freak. Am I cursed by birds? There’s not a single good one among them.

Duo Bao Tathagata regained his composure and said, "Junior brother, my goal has been achieved. The Qi Fortune of the Four Seas has been severed. The West Sea can now return west. As for the little Qi Fortune that was lost, Buddhism does not care. Buddhism is on the rise."

Bai Jin’s eyes flickered, sensing an opportunity. He might as well make an effort now. At that moment, his Primordial Spirit communicated with the Heavenly Dao.

A profound and indescribable aura of the Heavenly Dao descended.

Duo Bao Tathagata suddenly frowned, looking up in shock, "This aura is the ’Dao’. Bai Jin, what have you done?"

"I apologize if I startled Senior Brother, I just accidentally communicated with the Heavenly Dao."

Communicated with the Heavenly Dao? Any Quasi-Saint or above can communicate with the Heavenly Dao, but a slight mistake could lead to assimilation by the Heavenly Dao. Only a few of the strongest Quasi-Saints and those protected by the Qi Fortune of a Great Sect, such as the Great Sect Leader himself, Masters of Xuandu and Guang Chengzi, can assuredly withdraw from the Heavenly Dao.

Duo Bao Tathagata exclaimed, "Communicating with the Heavenly Dao, do you no longer wish to live?" However, he felt a surge of delight inside – had Bai Jin been driven to desperation and lost his mind?

Bai Jin revealed a brilliant smile, "Thanks for your concern, Senior Brother. I have plenty of merit! The Heavenly Dao and I have a good relationship."

Duobao’s face grew stiff, and he felt suddenly disinclined to speak. Yet, he still asked with gravity, "Why communicate with the Heavenly Dao? What have you done?"

"I did nothing, it was just an accident."

The pervasive aura of the Great Dao above the Bird’s Nest vanished, and Bai Jin felt a pang of regret. He had just burnt a substantial amount of Gift Merit Money for the Heavenly Dao. After accepting a gift, it’s time to get to work!

Duo Bao Tathagata felt a wave of unease. Communicate with the Heavenly Dao by accident? Are you trying to deceive Buddha here? But he had no way of knowing what exactly Bai Jin had done.

...

In the West Sea, the West Sea Dragon King lying weak amidst the ruins, with a flash of determination in his eyes, suddenly burst out. His massive dragon body parted the waters, plunging into the Sea Eye. Opening his huge maw, he devoured all the Qi Fortune of the West Sea into his body. Glowing with golden light, he appeared as if forged from pure light, shining brilliantly.

"Roar~" A golden Qi Fortune Divine Dragon burst forth from the Sea Eye and—boom—directly soared above the sea surface. The immense dragon body roved through the skies of the West Sea, radiating splendidly.

The East Sea Dragon King swung his tail, sending Ao Han tumbling away, then raised his head to look at the Qi Fortune Divine Dragon, shockingly exclaiming, "Qi Fortune Divine Beast, Ao Qin, you’ve actually consumed Qi Fortune. Are you trying to cut off your own Dao path? Aren’t you afraid of being enslaved by Qi Fortune?"

Ao Qin shouted angrily, "All of you forced me into this!"

"Why must you obstruct me?" Ao Qin, like a dragon wrought from golden light, moved in an instant, appearing before Aoguang, and pressed down with one claw.

This claw, although right before his eyes, gave Aoguang the sensation that the entire West Sea was enveloped by it, with time and space sealed, and heaven and earth congealed, leaving no escape.

Panic flashed in Aoguang’s eyes as he let out a dragon’s roar, and with a sonorous chant, invisible sound waves transformed into countless invisible divine dragons that rushed toward Ao Qin in front of him, the Dragon Clan’s great divine skill Breathing into Soldiers!

With a bang, the massive golden claw effortlessly pierced through the sound wave dragons and pressed on Aoguang’s dragon head, with a muffled, colossal thud, Aoguang immediately plunged headfirst down, smashing into the depths of the West Sea with a thunderous crash.

Far away, the two battlefields also ceased fighting, rapidly distancing themselves as they watched the golden divine dragon with alarm. Ao Qin was swallowing the West Sea’s Qi Fortune—just what level had his strength reached?

Ao Qin’s dragon form stretched out, vanishing in an instant, only to appear before the South Sea Dragon King in the next moment.

The South Sea Dragon King’s face twitched as he rapidly shrank and fled towards the deep sea below, laughing to himself. If the mighty elder brother from the East Sea couldn’t win, there was even less hope for him; only a fool would clash with Ao Qin head-on.

The radiant golden dragon still casually slapped down with its paw, and with a bang, the entire West Sea suddenly dropped by three feet, with a thunderous boom, a hole the size of a bowl appeared on the sea’s surface, seemingly bottomless.

The figure of the golden dragon flashed again, appearing in front of the North Sea Dragon King.

The North Sea Dragon King angrily shouted, "Ao Qin, what exactly do you want to do?"

"All this is for the future of the Dragon Clan," a grand voice rang out beside the ears of the North Sea Dragon King.

Subsequently, a flash of golden light passed by him, and the North Sea Dragon King also crashed into the West Sea with a thunderous roar.

Ao Qin’s glittering figure roamed above the West Sea, with streaks of flowing light traversing his body, projecting sacredness and extraordinary presence, such that even divine beings could not help but wish to prostrate themselves before him.

Ao Han and several other dragons turned to Ao Qin, sighing with emotion. The West Sea Dragon King was truly decisive! Swallowing the West Sea’s Qi Fortune could lead to a mishap resulting in assimilation by the Qi Fortune, becoming a Qi Fortune Divine Beast and losing freedom forever. Even if one managed to separate from the Qi Fortune without damage to the Dao Foundation, making further progress would be extremely difficult.

...

Inside the Heavenly Court Bird Nest, Duo Bao Tathagata spoke with a gentle expression, "Junior brother Bai Jin, you see? This is what a transparent scheme is—a straightforward and crushing demeanor. This is the great momentum, where the end was predetermined from the beginning, and no matter how they struggle, it is unchangeable."

Bai Jin praised, "Brother, you’re awesome!

Why don’t you take a look at the situation below?"

The Three Sea Dragon Kings have been suppressed, your Treasure Money retains Guanyin Bodhisattva’s attention, the overall situation is set; what more could happen?

Duo Bao Tathagata looked down, his eyes suddenly widening as he stood up in a moment of fluster.

In the East Sea, Golden Light Dragon King plunged into the seabed, suppressing Gold Star Taibai, and then turned to kill Tu Shan Xiyu.

Guanyin Bodhisattva’s eyes suddenly widened. Others may not know her origins, but she was aware—during the Spring and Autumn Period, among the Hundred Schools spreading teachings, she had followed Master Puti and had indeed met Laozi and this fox demon.

Guanyin Bodhisattva urgently called out, "Ao Qin, stop!"

Ao Qin’s golden figure paused midair, turning his head towards Guanyin Bodhisattva, a grand voice resonating, "Guanyin, you want to stop me?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was anxious inside—how to speak now? Should she say she’s Laozi’s wife? Laozi would surely tear me apart.

Guanyin could only say tactfully, "She is from the Qingqiu Fox Clan and has a close relationship with Tu Shan Nu Jiao. We must not offend her!"

Ao Lie stood up from the ruins, drenched in blood, roaring furiously, "Father, I want them dead. All of them.

Today, due to them, our West Sea’s reputation is tarnished; your Dragon Ball shattered, and I’ve been humiliated by this adulterous couple. I want none of today’s enemies to live."

He pointed sharply at Wansheng Princess and the Nine-Headed Beast, declaring venomously, "I want their souls to scatter and never to transcend."
