Chu Hao flipped the middle finger and closed his eyes, waiting for death.
But the moment of death was delayed.
Chu Hao was getting impatient, his face flushed red as he said:
"Are you going to kill me or not? Stop dawdling! Don't be such a tease!"
However, Chu Hao saw that everyone present was staring blankly behind him.
Even a supreme powerhouse like the Netherworld Ancestor opened his eyes wide, his expression extremely solemn.
Not to mention those weaker than the Netherworld Ancestor, who were trembling, even the Quasi-Saints were no exception.
Chu Hao felt that these people were acting strange. Was there anything interesting behind him?
Chu Hao turned his head.
And then he was stunned.
A woman with a very strange appearance, yet possessing a wild beauty, stood behind Chu Hao, looking at him coldly.
Human body with a snake tail, seven hands on her back, two hands in front of her chest, holding Teng Snake in both hands…
Two words instantly popped into Chu Hao's mind.
"Houtu!"
At this moment, even Chu Hao himself was dumbfounded.
So, the reason he could survive was because of the protection of Saint Houtu!
No wonder even World Honored Ksitigarbha couldn't break through.
This was one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Primordial World, the only one who survived, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Witch Clan!
It is said that after the end of the Lich War, eleven of the Twelve Ancestral Witches died tragically, leaving only Houtu alone.
Houtu believed that the Lich War had caused the suffering of countless living beings in the Primordial World, and countless wronged souls had emerged, so she could not shirk her responsibility. Therefore, she transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, establishing the Six Paths, so that all wandering souls would have a place to go.
However, she could only forever guard the side of the Six Paths, protecting the cycle of reincarnation.
According to true strength, she was actually the strongest combat power in the Three Realms and Six Paths, without exception.
Because she was a saint!
A true saint who achieved enlightenment through the great merit of the Heavenly Dao!
However, because she needed to guard the cycle of reincarnation and could never step out of the Underworld, Houtu only slumbered beside the Six Paths, not interfering in worldly affairs, no matter how the Three Realms contended.
Otherwise, as the only saint in the Three Realms who could move, controlling the world would be a matter of moments.
Such a legendary existence was now appearing beside Chu Hao, and even helping Chu Hao block the killing tribulation?!
Chu Hao was dumbfounded. What virtues and abilities did he possess to be personally protected by this one?
Could it be because of my good looks?
"Why did the Saint save me?" Chu Hao asked tentatively.
Houtu didn't look at Chu Hao much. The saint's mind was like the bright moon in the sky, unreachable and unfathomable.
Houtu stared at World Honored Ksitigarbha, her eyes filled with complex meaning.
"Ksitigarbha, you should guard the Five Turbid Viles Worlds, be loyal and dutiful. Why are you stirring up disputes?"
"Could it be that you want to go against the heavens?"
Houtu's words seemed to have deeper meaning.
But Chu Hao couldn't understand a single word. These saints spoke mysteriously, not like enlightened people at all.
World Honored Ksitigarbha was expressionless, but slowly retracted his hand.
With a saint present, World Honored Ksitigarbha dared not be presumptuous, no matter how arrogant he was.
Moreover, World Honored Ksitigarbha also knew that Saint Houtu had already noticed his purpose.
To stop now was the best outcome.
