I Became a Witch and Started an Industrial Revolution

The Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord looked at Li Tianwei through that projection and spoke matter-of-factly.

Seeing that the Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord did not believe it, the Evil Visage Demon Lord became intrigued. At that moment, it even began to understand why the Crimson Demon had fallen into the hands of this unknown fellow.

The Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord and the Crimson Demon were simply far too arrogant.

However, the Evil Visage Demon Lord did not think there was anything wrong with that. If not for the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Dao of the cultivation world, the Four Demon Lords could have devoured the entire cultivation world within a very short time.

But they could not make their actions too obvious.

After all, the Immortal World was still watching from above.

”Are you certain you want to test him? When the time comes, don’t ask us to save you.”

The Evil Visage Demon Lord sized up the Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord from head to toe, its words carrying a hint of provocation.

”Hmph. Do you think I’m like that Crimson Demon? Knowing full well that this world has restrictions, yet personally descending into battle.”

”What I’m better at is deception. I won’t even need to act personally. I’ll make the entire Western Spirit Domain attack him as one. By the time I personally step in, he won’t pose much of a threat.”

The Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord replied calmly.

As its words fell,

the bizarre Heavenly Eye hanging in the sky slowly closed.

Li Tianwei, who had been staring directly at that giant eye, also seemed to realize something and casually muttered,

”So, you’re finally going to make your move?”

His tone remained exceptionally calm, without the slightest ripple in the face of the Evil Demons’ threat.

Beside Li Tianwei, the banner of the Sun and Moon Banner fluttered violently in the wind.

Compared to Li Tianwei’s relaxed demeanor, the Sun and Moon Wheel, which was controlling the Soul Banner and commanding so many Evil Souls, was already on the verge of collapse.

Before taking control of the Soul Banner, the Sun and Moon Wheel had always thought that Li Tianwei’s control over the Evil Souls inside the banner was effortless. Even back in the Demonic Sect’s territory, it had only been able to command so many Evil Souls because it had received Li Tianwei’s support.

Now, although Li Tianwei had refined and strengthened it, the number of Evil Souls inside the Soul Banner had multiplied countless times over.

Moreover, the Evil Souls were far from advancing smoothly throughout the Western Spirit Domain. There was a reason the Evil Demons had been able to wreak havoc across the entire cultivation world—they possessed overwhelming strength themselves.

It could be said that every so often, the Sun and Moon Wheel received notifications that Evil Souls had been destroyed.

At that very moment, the rate at which the Evil Souls were being annihilated was steadily increasing.

”What’s going on? Aren’t we supposed to be eliminating the Evil Demons? Why are they interfering? What are those bald monks trying to do?”

The Sun and Moon Wheel processed the information being transmitted back by the Evil Souls.

It quickly understood why such a massive number of Evil Souls had been lost in such a short time.

The monks from the various temples throughout the Western Spirit Domain had joined the battle.

Moreover, those monks were extremely purposeful.

They paid no attention whatsoever to what the Evil Souls were actually doing.

The moment they encountered one, they immediately unleashed a barrage of Evil-suppressing and Demon-expelling techniques.

It had to be said that when it came to exorcising and destroying Evil Souls, the monks of the Western Spirit Domain truly possessed exceptional methods.

A set of Buddhist incantations, coupled with sacred Buddhist treasures,

completely suppressed every Evil Soul.

After the Great Lotus Temple received the Buddha’s decree,

countless monks poured out in full force.

At that moment, the Great Lotus Temple established contact with the other Buddhist forces, launching a domain-wide campaign throughout the Western Spirit Domain to eradicate what they believed to be the true culprit behind the appearance of Buddha-Demon manifestations.

Countless cultivators surged forth.

The foundation of the Buddhist Sect was truly terrifying.

Apart from the countless temples and monasteries belonging to the Buddhist Sect,

even the other Three Great Holy Lands maintained close ties with them.

Tribulation Transcension cultivators, Integration Realm cultivators, Out-of-Body Realm cultivators—

countless experts rushed toward every corner of the domain, intercepting the Evil Souls controlled by the Soul Banner.

”From dust to dust, from earth to earth. I’ll send you to meet the Buddha.”

”Namo Amitabha.”

Several monks wielded Buddhist staffs as their prayer beads swept through the air, followed by several great Buddhist incantations.

Before long, over half of the Evil Souls standing before those monks had already been destroyed.

Scenes like this unfolded every moment throughout the Western Spirit Domain.

At the same time,

within the Great Lotus Temple of the Buddhist Sect,

the golden Dharma Body standing at its center became increasingly solemn and majestic.

The Buddhist Light surrounding it also grew increasingly profound.

The monks below, dressed in magnificent kasayas, could not help but raise their heads to look toward the golden Buddha statue.

”Namo Amitabha. Excellent... excellent.”

”The Buddha’s decree was indeed correct. Those Evil Souls truly are the chief culprits behind the fall of the Western Spirit Domain.”

”Our believers are out there exterminating evil and eliminating demons. The Buddha’s Light is becoming ever purer. It won’t be long before we can communicate with the Immortal World once again.”

The Abbot of the Great Lotus Temple clasped his palms together while gazing at the increasingly brilliant Buddhist Light and quietly spoke.

The surrounding monks likewise joined their palms together and nodded.

”Excellent... excellent. Those Evil Souls have already gone to the Western Paradise.”

Just as the monks were celebrating,

the towering golden Buddha statue suddenly trembled slightly.

At the same time,

countless Dharma Runes emerged.

The golden Buddha seated upon the lotus platform seemed to have gained sentience.

Within its lowered eyes, a faint glimmer of light appeared.

The moment the Abbot of the Great Lotus Temple witnessed this,

his hands trembled slightly, while his eyes became filled with excitement.

”A message has arrived.”

”A message has arrived from the Upper Realm.”

As his voice trembled with excitement,

countless Dharma Runes emerged before transforming into countless swastika symbols, continuously revolving before assembling into a decree suspended in midair.

”All evils descend upon the world. Supreme evil has arrived. The foremost priority is to eliminate demons. Within this realm exists a great evil...”

The decree manifested in the air,

and every monk throughout the Great Lotus Temple heard Sanskrit chants echoing beside their ears.

”Amitabha.”

”Eliminate demons... eradicate evil...”

”Excellent... excellent...”

Upon hearing those words,

countless monks could not help clasping their palms together, while others continuously rolled the prayer beads in their hands.

The renewed Buddhist Light and this new decree only strengthened the monks’ belief that their connection with the Upper Realm was about to be restored.

”Go forth and eliminate evil, everyone.”

Following the Abbot’s command,

the surrounding monks all nodded.

Meanwhile,

in a place they could never observe,

the Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord watched the entire scene with cold eyes,

as though mocking their ignorance.

”Next... it’s time for the other places.”

”You shall become the supreme evil of all living beings.”

”And I... shall become the Buddha descending into the mortal world.”

The Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord silently thought.

It was not like that foolish Crimson Demon.

Nor was it like the timid Evil Visage Demon Lord, who lacked the courage to act.

It had taken the name Heavenly Pivot because everything was meant to revolve around it.

Whether through deception,

temptation,

control,

or weaving illusory consciousness to lure others into obsession—

as long as the objective was achieved,

nothing else mattered.

”I don’t care what kind of existence you are.”

”Once you fall under my deception, you’ll become the enemy of the entire Western Spirit Domain.”

The Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord looked through the invisible barrier toward the Western Spirit Domain as this thought crossed its mind.

After the Great Lotus Temple entered the battlefield,

the Evil Souls that had originally been tirelessly exterminating the Evil Demons had now been completely branded as the greatest evil and supreme wickedness.

Compared to the Evil Demons hiding deep within human bodies, the aura of the Evil Souls was simply far too sinister.

Ordinary cultivators could not distinguish the Evil Demons.

To them, the Evil Souls controlled by the Sun and Moon Banner appeared to be indiscriminately slaughtering and massacring people.

If they were not evil,

then what was?

For a time,

under the organization of the Buddhist Sect,

all of the cultivators throughout the Western Spirit Domain had completely identified the Evil Souls controlled by the Sun and Moon Banner as the true Evil Demons.
