The Mysterious Empress's remains, though lacking consciousness, possessed a certain instinct.
Her power was far too immense.
Now, with the heavenly dao staff missing, the entire sealing Formation had become unstable.
Even though Buddha Son Wenhui had brought out the Dongling Temple's supreme treasure, the Wheel-Turning Scripture Cylinder, to suppress it, he could not completely stabilize the entire Formation.
Blood-colored mist surged, and terrifying energy slammed against the sealing Formation time and time again.
The entire Formation was tottering on the brink of collapse.
Blood-colored energy was leaking out, and even Buddha Son Wenhui's expression changed, as he sensed a kind of terrifying power that induced corruption.
If the Mysterious Empress's remains were to break the Seal, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the same time, the many Blood Clan creatures within the Demon Suppression Domain sensed a certain aura, which caused them to fall into a frenzy, their power becoming even more terrifying.
Just at this critical, hair-trigger moment.
A figure bathed in Buddha Power tore through the Void Realm and descended upon this place.
"Buddha Saint..." Buddha Son Wenhui's eyes trembled.
The person who arrived was none other than the Lotus Buddha Saint.
The Lotus Buddha Saint did not speak.
His figure was somewhat hunched and thin, but his skin shimmered with a faint golden hue, as if it had been plated with a layer of gold leaf.
This was a type of Buddhist golden body.
The Lotus Buddha Saint formed a lotus Seal with his hands, and even within his pupils, it seemed as if lotus flowers were blooming.
His entire being was like a golden Buddha, carrying boundless Buddha Power as he suppressed the sealing Formation.
All of the terrifying energy that had been leaking out was blocked by the Lotus Buddha Saint.
However, the Lotus Buddha Saint would also be eroded by this power.
"Buddha Saint!" Buddha Son Wenhui's expression shifted.
It was rumored that ancient Buddhas would feed tigers with their own bodies and hawks with their own flesh.
Now, the Lotus Buddha Saint was also using his own body to suppress the sealing Formation.
"Wenhui, I will suppress this place; you must find the Mysterious Empress's Reincarnation and convert her," the Lotus Buddha Saint said calmly.
Guarding the Demon Suppression Domain was the mission of Dongling Temple.
Naturally, the Lotus Buddha Saint could not allow the Mysterious Empress's remains to break the Seal.
Buddha Son Wenhui sighed inwardly.
The Lotus Buddha Saint was preparing to sacrifice himself.
Although his cultivation in the Buddhist Dao was profound, he could not withstand being eroded day after day like this.
But Buddha Son Wenhui could not dwell on it.
If the Lotus Buddha Saint did not do this, and the Mysterious Empress's remains broke the Seal, it would lead to an even greater disaster.
The Blood Clan creatures would also undergo a greater transformation, thereby causing incalculable changes.
"Brother Chen, let us go," Buddha Son Wenhui said.
Chen Xuan frowned secretly.
Now, things were a bit troublesome for him.
Although Buddha Son Wenhui did not say anything, clearly, Chen Xuan was a suspect.
And he could not confess to Buddha Son Wenhui, which was very frustrating.
Most importantly, he hadn't gained a single thing; one could say he was shouldering the blame for the Black Calamity—a total scapegoat.
"The person who plotted against me must pay the price," Chen Xuan swore inwardly.
Subsequently, Chen Xuan and Buddha Son Wenhui left the Dead Sea eye.
Following that, the Blood Clan temporarily retreated.
Having come out of the Dead Sea eye earlier, Jun Xiaoyao strolled casually through the Demon Suppression Domain.
Seeing the Blood Clan retreat, Jun Xiaoyao knew in his heart that this Blood Clan operation was primarily instigated by Jia Xin.
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan had colluded with the Blood Clan, and Jia Xin had been plotting for his Chaos blood.
Otherwise, if the Blood Clan had truly intended to launch a full-scale attack, figures at the level of a Blood Clan True Ancestor would definitely have appeared.
Such figures would not be easy to deal with.
Clearly, the Blood Clan also believed that the time for a full-scale offensive had not yet arrived.
"However, I didn't expect the Lotus Buddha Saint to take action," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
Just a moment ago, he had sensed an extremely powerful aura fleeing into the Dead Sea eye.
It was presumably the abbot of Dongling Temple, the Lotus Buddha Saint.
In fact, Jun Xiaoyao did not mind the Mysterious Empress's remains breaking the Seal.
He even hoped to see the Mysterious Empress revive.
Because only then could he truly figure out what had actually happened back then.
And currently, the accounts in the Origin Universe regarding the Mysterious Empress betraying the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor were merely recorded through oral tradition.
But history and truth can be altered.
That is the nature of the victor being the king and the loser being the bandit.
As long as one ultimately achieves victory, no matter how dishonorable the means, one can be molded into a towering, righteous figure for future generations.
"In that case, back then, besides that Mysterious Empress, the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor had another Disciple."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
He had been in the Origin Universe for quite a while now.
Plus, being in the academy, he was well-informed about all sorts of news.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao had a general understanding of some matters concerning the Origin Universe.
Of course, this was just a random flash of inspiration for Jun Xiaoyao; he couldn't really deduce anything concrete.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly; for now, he could watch a good show.
After all, with even the Lotus Buddha Saint dragged into this, the incident of the lost heavenly dao staff would surely stir up quite a storm.
But this had nothing to do with Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, there was still the scapegoat, Chen Xuan.
Afterwards, once the Blood Clan creatures retreated.
The personnel and factions from the Origin Universe side gradually gathered together.
However, compared to when they first arrived, the number of people had decreased significantly.
This was not just due to the loss of many hands in the battle against the Blood Clan.
There were also some Cultivators who had been eroded and corrupted, or bitten by the Blood Clan, falling to the Blood Clan's side.
This was also the strength of the Blood Clan—the ability to constantly assimilate other living beings and expand the Blood Clan's population.
Jun Xiaoyao returned to his group.
Xia Guihua, Ji Mingshuang, Princess Hongxiu, and others were all there.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly; he knew they would not have any problems.
But what caused a strange look to appear in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes was...
The way Xia Guihua looked at him carried a hint of unease and trepidation, but it was only fleeting.
Jun Xiaoyao suppressed the questions in his heart, revealing nothing, and stepped forward to smile calmly: "It is good that you are all unharmed."
On the other side, some Cultivators expressed fury.
It was the people from the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty.
"How could the Crown Prince have fallen!"
The news of Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan's fall spread, immediately shocking many people.
Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan was a Quasi-Emperor level Prodigy; logically, on a battlefield like this, he should not have fallen.
Moreover, he should have possessed protective measures bestowed by Great Emperor Qin Xiao, making it impossible for him to fall easily.
"What is going on? Could it be a plot by the Blood Clan?" many people exclaimed in surprise.
On this side, Xia Guihua's beautiful eyes suddenly looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
She was very intelligent and immediately understood.
Jun Xiaoyao just smiled slightly and said nothing.
This could also be considered Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan courting his own death.
If he had not actively colluded with the Blood Clan to plot against Jun Xiaoyao.
Perhaps he could have lived a few more days.
Jun Xiaoyao was not worried that Great Emperor Qin Xiao would retaliate against him.
Great Emperor Qin Xiao should be afraid now, afraid of how the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace would settle the score once this matter was exposed.
Not to mention anything else, just The Two Elders of Mountain and Sea who had come to invite Jun Xiaoyao earlier were enough to make Great Emperor Qin Xiao suffer.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao did not care at all; killing a Sacred Dynasty's Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan was like crushing an ant, not worth him taking to heart.
