Wearing a thick hemp robe, with a mixture of cyan and speckles of black True Yuan swirling around his body, and golden runes occasionally surfacing, Jiang Jili quietly flew out from the bottom of the sea.

He looked at Li Qingming and the others trapped by the Great Formation, excitedly maneuvered his Seal Technique, and bellowed: "Activate the formation!"

"Buzz~~~"

A stream of black energy surged out from the khaki-colored small flag that served as the Array Core, enveloping everything within ten miles with black energy.

With a cruel smile, Jiang Jili nonchalantly extended his right index finger and gently pointed towards the sea water in front of him, and shouted lowly: "By decree, in the name of my father, Emperor Jiang, I summon the All Heavens Holy Ghost Immortals of Pangu's Great Thousand World. If not now, when will the gods and ghosts of Zhou Tian's Various Realms appear?"

The index finger that Jiang Jili flicked became semi-transparent in an instant, swelled to about a foot in length in a blink, and became as thick as a baby's arm, with countless dazzling Tao Runes drifting out from it.

"Boom!"

The sea area in front of Jiang Jili rolled violently, and the pitch-black sky actually split open, revealing an immense black hole appearing in the sea area, with haunting wails and howls of spirits echoing from within.

"Spiritual and ghostly beings, begone!" A gleam flashed in Jiang Jili's eyes as he pressed his finger toward the Great Formation below.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed between Heaven and Earth, the great sound causing the distant seabed mountains to disappear into nothingness. More and more terrifying roars emerged from the depths of the black hole, and eight columns of water, made from the black mud and the Sea of the Death God, burst forth into the sky in an Eight Diagrams formation, protecting the black hole all around.

"Um~~~"

Within the Complete Heaven God and Ghost Kill Array, the sea around everyone suddenly shattered, and the water was instantly drained. Hundreds of disheveled Evil Ghosts, spewing black saliva, emerged from the shattered sea, clawing and swooping towards everyone.

"Amitabha Buddha, even a grain of rice can emit brilliance!" Shakyamuni, looking at the ferociously howling Evil Spirits around him, scoffed coldly, stirring up the Buddha Power within him. His voice rang out like the Yellow Bell, resonating through Heaven and Earth: "Namo Amitabha, Duotaga Duoye, Duodiye Ta, Amilituo Po..."

Rings of golden Buddha Seals floated out from Shakyamuni's mouth, the golden Buddha Power filled with the auspicious Supreme Yang Power, casting Shakyamuni in a sanctified light.

"Sizzle..."

A series of grating noises sounded as the Evil Ghosts—upon mere contact with the rings of golden Buddha Power—began to emit plumes of white smoke from their bodies, losing their ghostly qi which could not be restored, dissipating into the sea.

This was the Buddhist Sect's Rebirth Mantra, which possessed an unimaginable restraining effect on Evil Souls and ghosts. It dissipates ghostly qi, restores the soul's clarity, allowing it to be reborn through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Before long, the Evil Ghosts had lost all their black qi, reverting to their transparent forms. The expressions on their faces gradually became serene, without a trace of ferocity.

Finally, Shakyamuni raised his hand, lightly tapped the sea area in front of him, and said, "The Six Paths are open; Heaven and Earth cycle! Six Paths of Reincarnation, emerge!"

"Buzz!"

A golden portal appeared in the sea area, with six bridges spanning different realms directly laid upon the portal. However, everyone could only see the long bridges and could not discern where each of these six bridges truly led.

"Amitabha Buddha, the arising and cessation of connections is all due to one's own karma! Go forth, each depending on their fate!" Shakyamuni sighed lightly and recited "Namo Amitabha Buddha", then, with a sweep of his large sleeve, sent the tens to hundreds of millions of purified souls into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Li Qingming had been an observer from beginning to end. Now, seeing that Shakyamuni had completed all this, he finally spoke up: "Fellow Daoist truly embodies compassion!"

Shakyamuni's lips revealed a sincere smile as he said, "Amitabha Buddha! Shakyamuni has lived as a human for two lifetimes, and this might well be Master Li's only genuine praise for Shakyamuni!"

"Ha ha ha..." Li Qingming laughed loudly for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and shouted to Jiang Jili outside the array: "What kind of rubbish is this Jiang Jili! Is this all your Complete Heaven God and Ghost Kill Array can do? Now that these Evil Souls have been fully converted, what tricks do you have left? Bring them all out!"

Looking at the empty interior of the formation, Jiang Jili's face turned red with frustration, and he roared angrily: "Don't be insolent! Circulation Divine Mountain, Divine Magnetic Primordial, rise!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The Void trembled, and the remains of the mountainous ruins that had been reduced to ash in the distance suddenly began to shake violently.

"Humming!"

After a moment, a mountain range resembling a sleeping dragon rose from the ground, shooting up tens of thousands of feet into the air, and was dragged by Jiang Jili over to surround the outside of the Complete Heaven God and Ghost Kill Array.

An endless stream of earth energy filled the air in an instant, and immeasurable Earth Rules Power focused on this dragon-shaped mountain range as the center, crazily spewing into the Complete Heaven God and Ghost Kill Array, turning into a visible Spiritual Energy Storm, wreaking havoc around.

"What is this? Hiss... Such potent Earth Rules Power! What on earth is Jiang Jili trying to do?" Li Qingming frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Jili, who continued to perform and change Seal Techniques above, gradually began to look weary. Gritting his teeth, he took out a handful of Spirit Pills from his storage space and swallowed them all in one gulp.

Surging energy flowed down his throat into his body, and soon a powerful surge of True Essence Power once again wafted from him.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Jili stretched out both hands, and a terrifying suction force suddenly emanated from his body.

He was like a small black hole, instantly draining all the Spiritual Energy within a ten-mile radius of the sea area, and Jiang Jili funneled the huge energy directly into the Complete Heaven God and Ghost Kill Array.

"Boom!"

Everyone inside the array felt a burst of violent energy rush in, followed by a sudden heaviness in their bodies as the heavy Earth Rules Power transformed into sharp little knives, beginning to erode everyone's bodies from the outside.

"What kind of broken formation is this? It's all gods, ghosts, and Earth knives... Huh, it's actually capable of leaving a white mark on my body, quite impressive!" Long Xuhu cursed, his burly body quickly adapting to this immensely heavy gravity.

"That's the extent of your skill!" Li Qingming looked up at Jiang Jili who wore a trace of ferocity on his face, with a corner of his mouth curled in a deranged smile, and softly chastised.

Then, he waved his hand grandly, and an invisible energy spread out, instantly drawing all the Earth Rules Power-shaped knives in the array to him, forming a fist-sized, earthy-yellow sphere.

"Whoosh!"

Li Qingming threw the sphere in his hand fiercely towards Jiang Jili in the watery region outside the array and sighed, "You can taste your own bitter fruit!"
