In the Xuanhuang Realm, the incense and sacred roads that had lost their popularity since the connection between heaven and earth was cut off were now trembling.
All the creatures belonging to the Shinto religion can feel the sound of a huge bell coming from the origin of the Shinto religion, as if the magnificent sound from ancient times resounds in the minds of all Shinto creatures.
The resonance of the great way in the dark converged into a word full of majesty at this moment.
"I will be the Great Emperor of Fengdu!"
In an instant, auspicious signs descended from the nine heavens, and the Tao principles beneath the earth resonated and turned into golden lotuses that were about to bloom. The entire world seemed to be celebrating the birth of a Shinto emperor.
However, as soon as those myriad auspicious visions left Fengdu City, they were completely wiped out by the incomplete rules of the outside world.
The heaven and earth seemed to be separated by the city of Fengdu. Inside the city, there was a strange vision of the Shinto emperor descending to the world, while outside the city, there was still a dead and silent scene of the underworld.
This scene was naturally noticed by Shen Yuan.
The resonance of the origin of incense and Shintoism celebrates the birth of the Shinto Emperor. This is a vision that comes from the origin of incense and Shintoism and is not limited by heaven and earth.
However, the auspicious sign that fell from that sky was originally an external rule that the Heavenly Court had proactively engraved into the rules of all realms in order to please the emperors. Naturally, it was suppressed by the broken rules of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Moreover, family members know their own business. Shen Yuan understands very well that the city of Fengdu cannot support a true Shinto emperor, and his own realm is far from that of an emperor.
Even with the layout he had laid out thousands of years ago and the help of his magical powers to exorcise gods, he could only rely on the origin of incense and gods and the Fengdu Emperor Seal within the territory of Fengdu City to barely display his incomplete status as an emperor.
But even so, the incomplete status of emperor is enough for Shen Yuan.
If there really were a complete emperor, Shen Yuan would not be qualified to control it.
The more restrictions and the more incomplete it is, the easier it will be for Shen Yuan to control the status of the emperor.
As the resonance of the gods spread throughout the heaven and earth, the name of Emperor Fengdu caused an uproar in the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Especially in the Daxia realm, almost all Shinto creatures turned their eyes towards the direction of Luoshan County, Taizhou.
Although they did not know what kind of person this Fengdu Emperor was, in today's Xuanhuang Realm, an unfamiliar Shinto Emperor was enough to subvert the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Of course, only the Shinto creatures received the news first, and it was not enough for the news to spread to the hands of the major forces in Daxia immediately.
These influences seem insignificant to the current Fengdu City.
Feeling the strange phenomena of heaven and earth around him and bathing in the rosy glow, even King Qin Guang could feel that the consumption of his physical body was recovering rapidly.
However, this state did not make him show the slightest joy, instead his expression became even uglier.
You have to know that he had just used the Imperial Order of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, which he regarded as his greatest reliance, to modify the rules of this world in order to resist the emperor in front of him.
In his original plan, this would not only keep the unknown emperor out, but also prevent him from interfering in the invasion of the Xuanhuang Realm.
It can even go a step further and use the rules of Hou Tu's imperial decree to erode the Xuanhuang Realm, preventing the Great Xia court and even the Dongtian Paradise from intervening in the first place.
However, this seemingly perfect plan was forced to end with the person in front of him declaring the title of Emperor Fengdu.
With the name of Fengdu, there is no more orthodox ruler of the underworld in the world. Even Hou Tu Yuling recognizes the other party's title of the emperor and no longer forcibly expel him according to the rules.
At this point, even the rules have acknowledged that the struggle between the two sides is an internal struggle within the underworld.
But such a result was unacceptable to King Qin Guang, who had paid a huge price.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Those majestic golden eyes were now bloodshot, and his face was filled with anger and ferocity.
"The Emperor of Fengdu? Fengdu City is just a city built to divide the underworld. How can a city that is only ten thousand years old and a world of underworld support the status of a Shinto emperor?
You must have used some means to deceive Hou Tu Yu Ling!"
The words spoken by King Qin Guang in anger, to some extent, were a guess at the truth.
The underworld and Fengdu are indeed not qualified to give birth to the Shinto emperor.
If it weren't for the fact that I had planned across thousands of years ago, and if it weren't for the fact that I had the ability to drive away gods and the throne of Mount Tai to assist me, even if I had the ability to reach the sky, I would not be able to take away the incomplete title of the King of Fengdu.
But Shen Yuan certainly would not tell King Qin Guang the cause and effect of this.
He just stared quietly at the ferocious-looking King Qin Guang, tapping lightly on the armrest of the Taishan throne with his index finger.
“Kneel down!”
The words were gentle, but the power of the decree to exorcise gods contained therein was elevated to an unimaginable level under the blessing of the status of the King of Fengdu.
The ancient bell transformed from billions of ghosts and gods exploded in an instant. Under the suppression of infinite willpower, King Qin Guang's knees were broken and his body smashed into the ground.
Dark blood continued to flow out of his body, and the Head of the Ten Hells looked more miserable than ever before.
The suppression of the Shinto rank of the underworld god was far beyond everyone's imagination. Even though his body had already crossed the realm of great celestial immortal, King Qin Guang still had no room for resistance.
He tried hard to raise his head and glare at the emperor's chariot, but the cold scolding voice sounded again.
"presumptuous!"
“Bang!”
King Qin Guang's head seemed to be pressed down by an invisible giant hand and smashed into the ground.
The fate of King Qin Guang made the other four Yamas behind him feel terrified.
What they borrowed were the physical bodies of the Ten Yin Marshals. Even if the physical bodies were seriously injured, as long as the soul was not involved, it would not have any impact on them.
Having said that, for a high and mighty King Yama, the mental insult is far greater than the physical harm.
"Fengdu! Do you really want to fight to the death with us?"
The roar of King Qin Guang was heard from the earth. His powerful body, which was at the peak of the Return to Void realm, shook the earth and caused the entire Fengdu city to sway. It seemed that it would break free from the suppression of the Shinto rank at any time.
However, every time the earth shook a little, the power of the billions of ghosts and gods sleeping in Fengdu City would quietly merge into Fengdu City, strengthening the suppression of King Qin Guang.
The more you struggle, the stronger the suppressing force becomes.
If it were his original body's extraordinary cultivation, perhaps he could ignore the influence of his divine rank, but he was simply unable to do so with the help of Yin Shuai's body.
Inside the Emperor's chariot, Shen Yuan just chuckled and said slowly:
“The fish dies, but the net remains intact.”
"Okay! You forced me to do it!" A desperate roar came from King Qin Guang's mouth.
Suddenly, the breath of the body that was suppressed deep into the earth dropped sharply, and the invisible oppression that originally belonged to the position of King Yama in the soul suddenly dissipated quietly like smoke and dust.
King Qin Guang began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the body of the Sun God was also drying up, eventually turning into a skinny old man with gray hair. King Qin Guang was indeed in a state of weakness, but Shen Yuan could clearly feel that the suppression of his divine rank on King Qin Guang was rapidly fading.
That old body was gradually getting rid of the suppression from the status of Emperor Fengdu and gradually crawling out of the deep pit.
Shen Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately realized what King Qin Guang had done.
Destroy your own Shinto!
Shen Yuan's greatest suppression of King Qin Guang came from his Shinto rank. In this case, King Qin Guang chose to forcibly cut off this part of his soul's Shinto cultivation and status, retaining only the most basic ghost cultivation.
Although he could not be completely exempted from the suppression of the status of Emperor Fengdu, the lack of the restraint of the Shinto rank was enough for King Qin Guang to exert some of his power.
Of course, doing so can certainly get rid of most of Shen Yuan's influence, but the price to pay is also extremely terrifying.
King Qin Guang achieved a breakthrough to become a great celestial being through the Shinto practice of incense and offerings. The Shinto practice was his most important foundation, and if he cut off his Shinto practice, it would damage the origin of his soul.
The aging he presents is not just the aging of the body, but also the aging of the soul.
"Self-destroying the divine path? Although this is only part of your divine soul, it will affect your true body after the divine soul returns to its place. Aren't you afraid of falling from the position of the Lord of Hell?"
King Qin Guang's face, which had become extremely old, was now filled with hatred, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth:
"I told you, you are forcing me to fight to the death!"
As he spoke, King Qin Guang's old body seemed to break free from the invisible shackles of Shintoism and rushed towards the imperial chariot with big strides.
Now that the relationship has been completely broken, King Qin Guang no longer cares about the so-called rules of heaven.
For him, this road has reached a dead end, and the only option now is to use the advantage of his cultivation to kill the opponent here.
Just as he was about to approach the imperial chariot, a quiet and secluded path from the underworld broke through the space and blocked the imperial chariot. The two ghost generals, Black and White Impermanence, waved the soul-scattering sticks in their hands, and in an instant, millions of evil spirits cried and howled in unison, which was breathtaking.
“Get lost!”
King Qin Guang was furious, and the law of the cycle of life and death was revealed under his dry palm. With one blow, he shattered the small path to the underworld, and the Black and White Impermanence was directly smashed into the depths of the underworld.
At this time, the Bull-Headed Yin Shuai had already moved.
The body of the deity appeared again, but this time it did not take the form of a giant incense god but instead maintained a three-meter-tall golden body.
Countless incense sticks around him surrendered to him, as if they had been melted into a giant golden statue to welcome King Qin Guang.
"Little handsome Yin, how dare you stop me?"
King Qin Guang took a big step forward. In an instant, everything in the space where the Bull Head was located kept shrinking, while the right foot with the cloud pattern kept expanding in the Bull Head's sight. The originally tall Bull Head Yin Shuai was like an ant under the cloud pattern foot.
When he stepped down with his right foot, the space shattered and the ant-sized bull head seemed to be crushed together with it.
King Qin Guang continued to move forward without even the intention of taking a look, and at this moment he suddenly felt a powerful force on his right foot that held him back.
The bull's head, which had turned into the size of an ant, actually managed to withstand the blow. Although the god's golden body was covered with cracks, it was full of energy. The powerful force inherited in the blood of the bull clan suddenly erupted at this moment.
King Qin Guang's physical body was exhausted and he was not good at fighting with force. At this moment, he was forced to retreat several steps by the Ox-Headed Yin Marshal, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed in an instant.
At the same time, the Black and White Impermanence who were banished to the underworld returned again. The shackles in their hands spread from the void and locked King Qin Guang tightly. The soul-scattering stick once again caused the evil ghosts to howl.
The Leopard-tailed Yin Shuai, who had been watching coldly from the side, finally took action at this moment. His body, shaped like a leopard monster, escaped into the space. The next moment, his sharp claws tore through the space and fell towards King Qin Guang's neck with bloodthirsty murderous intent.
The Qi around King Qin Guang transformed into an erupting Netherworld chaos. As the Dao rules collided, the bodies of the three Yin Marshals were torn apart and fell to the ground, but they quickly recovered under the gathering of massive Yin Qi.
At this time, the Bull-Headed Yin Shuai had also broken free from the suppression of space, revealed his true form and once again faced King Qin Guang.
The Ten Great Yin Marshals are naturally able to restrain ghosts. King Qin Guang, who is the only one with ghost cultivation, is naturally restrained. In addition, the will of Fengdu is vaguely suppressing him, so King Qin Guang can hardly exert even 30% of his strength.
The Ten Yin Marshals are favored by the will of Fengdu. As long as they cannot be killed with one blow, even the most serious injuries can be recovered in an instant.
Burning with rage, King Qin Guang roared angrily:
"If I had not cut off my own Shinto, even if I had to bear the pressure of heaven and earth and hold up the Shinto with one hand, I could still easily suppress you ants!"
Even Shen Yuan in the imperial chariot had to admit that there was truth in what King Qin Guang said. The scene in which King Qin Guang suppressed the four Yin Marshals single-handedly was still very impressive to him.
However, this moment is different from before. With the strength of one side increasing while the other decreases, the four Yin Marshals are able to entangle King Qin Guang together.
After the Ox-Head Incense Golden Statue was shattered once again, King Qin Guang finally began to panic.
He looked coldly at the four Yamas who were still being suppressed by the Shinto in the back, and said sternly:
"This is your only chance, what are you waiting for?"
The four Yamas looked at each other, still hesitant in their hearts.
King Qin Guang and Emperor Fengdu had a complete falling out and chose to deify themselves, but the four of them were not completely hostile to Emperor Fengdu, and there seemed to be room for negotiation.
It is not a good choice to rashly offend a Shinto emperor.
King Qin Guang's cold words rang out again at this moment:
"Don't forget, your real bodies are still in the underworld!"
The four Yamas trembled, King Qin Guang's words were already a naked threat.
If they do not take action, King Qin Guang will definitely settle accounts with them even if they return to the underworld.
When the four Yamas came to this thought, they gritted their teeth and cut off their divine cultivation. Four thick ghost auras rushed straight into the sky and almost covered the entire Luoshan County.
Seeing this scene, King Qin Guang smiled slightly and looked towards the imperial chariot provocatively.
"Four Yin Shuai can stop me, but what if four Yan Luo are added?"
Inside the imperial chariot, Shen Yuan gently stroked the Fengdu seal with his hand, without any panic on his face.
He looked at the four Yin Marshals outside the imperial chariot, and the two envoys of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory who were holding on to their bodies, and then the indifferent and noble voice echoed in Fengdu City.
"The underworld is out of order, Yama is unjust, causing suffering to the living in the world of the living.
Today, I will establish the Six Heavens of Luofeng to suppress evil spirits and punish Yama Luo!"
