The body of the blind old Taoist collapsed completely and turned into a mass of dim yellow mist that dissipated towards the incense and fire realm and quickly disappeared into the incense and fire realm.

But there was no joy on Shen Yuan's face. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the dim mist that appeared after the collapse of his physical body.

He could feel that the dim mist did not dissipate, but was actively integrated into the incense and fire realm.

During this process, the strange aura on the blind old Taoist priest did not disappear with his death. Instead, it began to grow rapidly after the dim mist merged into the incense field.

In the incense and fire realm, the dim yellow sun became increasingly dimmer. Originally just an illusion, the sun became more solid as the strange aura spread, like a real sun.

As the scene in front of him changed, Shen Yuan finally realized why the Dusk Realm wanted to help Emperor Xia establish the Incense Realm, and even went so far as to spend a huge price to provide cross-border assistance.

Because this area of ​​incense and worship has problems in itself!

To be more precise, the incense and magic that the Dusk Realm taught to Emperor Xia seemed to be based on Shintoism, but its core had long been eroded by the weirdness, thus turning into this incense and magic domain of dusk.

Shen Yuan's eyes swept across the dusk mist that seemed to have merged into the incense and fire realm. The strange aura in it was now using the power of incense and fire as a medium, crossing the space barrier and beginning to spread toward the incense and fire realm that covered the entire Daxia.

Almost in an instant, the strange aura spread so fast that it encompassed most of the areas corresponding to the imperial capital, and was still spreading to the outside world.

At the center of the incense and fire area, the City God seemed to sense the threat instinctively and took the initiative to retreat back into the temple.

The luck of humanity flows on the surface of the temple, temporarily protecting the City God from the erosion of the strange aura.

Shen Yuan frowned, the strange aura was eroding the power of incense and vows at a speed far beyond normal.

This reminded him of how the blind old Taoist had corroded the incense sword with just one glance, causing the incense power in it to completely collapse.

These two situations are enough to illustrate that the strange aura has an extraordinary inhibitory effect on the power of incense and vows.

“This is not good news.”

Shen Yuan was thinking in his heart, trying to mobilize the Qi of heaven and earth to try to stop the spreading strange aura.

At this moment, the strange aura had just exceeded the scope of the imperial capital, and the speed of its spread rapidly decreased.

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, carefully observing the changes before and after, and then immediately discovered the problem.

There is a lot of concentrated incense and prayer power in the incense and prayer area within the imperial capital, all of which come from the incense and sacrifices to the City God.

However, in areas outside the imperial capital, Shen Yuan could hardly see any traces of incense and prayers.

After a little thought, Shen Yuan suddenly understood.

"The power of incense and prayer comes from the faith of all people, which is inherently regional.

Although the incense and fire domain connects different cities, there are certain gaps in the wilderness between cities.

Unless the incense power is excessive and spreads to the outside world, or the gods subjectively mobilize it, the incense power will not spread to the wilderness in the middle. "

“The Incense and Fire Domain has just been established. Although it covers the entire Great Xia, the incense and fire power within it has not accumulated over time and is scarce.

In addition, many City Gods had just returned to their positions and their Dharma bodies had not yet been completed, and they had not ascended to the Incense and Fire Realm, so the entire Incense and Fire Realm was not truly connected together.

The strange aura spread to the boundary of the incense and vows, and without the medium for corrosion, it was difficult to continue to spread to the outside world. "

After figuring out the reason, Shen Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and slowly withdrew the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth that he had mobilized.

“Fortunately, the Incense Fire Domain has just been established and everything is not perfect, which prevents the spread of the strange aura.

If we wait for the Incense and Fire Realm to grow for several years, and the incense vows and incense gods fill the entire Incense and Fire Realm, it will only take a little bit of strange aura as a trigger to quickly erode the entire Incense and Fire Realm.

When the Incense Realm falls, the Twilight Realm can use it as a medium to invade the real world."

It was not until this moment that Shen Yuan truly understood the plan of the Dusk Realm.

"But since the strange aura has been spread in advance, is this really the only means the Twilight Realm has at its disposal?"

As the strange aura lost its medium of transmission and was locked within the imperial capital, the glow of the dim sun in the sky grew dimmer.

Bathed in the sun, there is no warmth, instead there is a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

The incense and prayer powers eroded by the strange aura began to gather towards the dim yellow sun. The dim yellow sun was like an invisible mouth swallowing up the polluted incense and prayer powers.

Shen Yuan instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and his soul controlled the sword, transforming it into a sword light that shot up into the sky and slashed towards the dim yellow sun.

However, this sword that gathered all the magical powers of the Earthly Demon Sword was actually completely ineffective. No matter where the sword light slashed, it could never capture any trace of the dim sun, as if it was not in this space.

Shen Yuan spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and the solidified space began to collapse inward, but he still could not catch sight of the dim sun.

It seemed not to exist in the incense and fire realm, and what appeared here was just an illusory projection.

As a large amount of polluted incense and vows were devoured, changes finally began to occur above the dim sun.

Against the gloomy dusk background, a distorted shadow outline suddenly appeared.

This twisted shadow was so huge that it almost occupied the entire evening sun, hanging high in the sky as if it was the center of the universe.

The constantly twisting body barely maintains the outline of a human shape, and every gesture seems to show that stars are falling and the world is ending.

The scene illuminated by the setting sun seemed to attract his attention. He slowly turned his body, and the distorted shadow, using the dim sun as a medium, cast a gaze towards the incense realm.

In an instant, the concentration of the strange aura in the incense field suddenly skyrocketed.

"not good!"

Shen Yuan took the initiative to withdraw from the incense domain and avoid the gaze of the distorted figure.

But although Shen Yuan was able to escape from the incense and fire domain, there was another party he found difficult to escape from, and that was the City God sitting in the temple.

Although the strange aura released by the blind old Taoist priest spread very quickly, it could not threaten the City God who was protected by the humanitarian luck.

At this moment, the twisted shadow above the dim sun was watching down, and as the concentration of the strange aura increased dramatically, the City God Temple, which was protected by the destiny of humanity, was also affected.

The light above the magnificent temple began to gradually dim, and the human destiny lingering around the temple was constantly eroded by the strange aura.

Shen Yuan could see that the destiny of humanity seemed to have a certain restraining effect on the strange aura, just as the humanity's most important weapon, the Jiuzhou Ding, which sealed off the Xuanhuang Realm, could prevent external erosion.

But even with the restraint of humanity, there were too many strange auras born under the gaze of the twisted shadow. The City God Temple was like a small boat on the ocean, which could be overturned by the waves at any time.

"Things are going a little wrong."

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression filled with solemnity.

Under the suppression of the magical power of driving away gods, the City God has become a god that Shen Yuan can command at will. His combat power at the level of Lianxu Zhenjun is of great significance to Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan does not want to give up such a powerful combat power.

In addition, the City God is also the core of the entire incense and fire domain, and the true master of the incense and fire domain.

Once the City God is eroded by the weirdness, he can control the incense and prayer power to spread to the outside world, which will greatly accelerate the erosion of the incense domain.

When the Xianghuo Dharma Realm falls, the next to suffer will surely be the Xuanhuang Realm.

"This is a battle of great principles, and it is no longer something that can be affected by simple cultivation strength.

Unless you are strong enough to break the medium of the Dusk Sun, no matter how strong you are, it will be useless."

After leaving the incense and fire realm, Shen Yuan turned his gaze and looked towards the tall altar in the imperial capital.

"The real breakthrough lies in the destiny of humanity!"

Shen Yuan's figure turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the altar. At this moment, the imperial city had already fallen into chaos.

As Emperor Xia committed atrocities and threw many ministers into prison, the situation in the Xia Dynasty had already fallen into turmoil.

Emperor Xia opened a passage between the two worlds, and extradited people from the Dusk World into Great Xia, using the destiny of humanity to conceal the secret for them.

With the deaths of the two True Lords of the Dusk Realm, the secret of heaven could no longer be concealed, and the extradition of people from the outside world into the Xuanhuang Realm laid a huge disaster for the Xuanhuang Realm.

The exposure of such behavior directly caused the humanitarian luck controlled by Emperor Xia to collapse by half, and even the fortune of the dynasty could not be stabilized.

The dynasty collapsed, humanity was dissipating, and because of his previous actions, Emperor Xia had lost the support of the people, and he was no longer qualified to be the emperor.

On the other hand, Xia Yunqiu, under the protection of Gong Buyu, killed the Blood and Flesh Shura, and in the name of Princess Tianxing, led a large number of soldiers who were dissatisfied with Emperor Xia into the imperial city, intending to question Emperor Xia's actions.

The two sides engaged in a chaotic battle in the imperial city. The flesh and blood Shuras in the palace had died long ago when they participated in the siege of Shen Yuan, and the remaining great monks who had reached the state of incarnation were simply unable to resist Gong Buyu who was holding a Taoist weapon.

In addition, the Human Emperor was disqualified and the destiny of humanity was dissipating. Xia Yunqiu opened the Heavenly Prison and released all the civil and military officials. He brought a large army and all the civil and military officials to the City God Altar to question Emperor Xia.

When Shen Yuan arrived, Xia Yunqiu had already led his troops to surround the altar.

"Emperor Xia has committed atrocities and colluded with the people of the Dusk Realm. For his own selfish interests, he has treated the people of Great Xia and the sentient beings of the Xuanhuang Realm as nothing, causing the Xuanhuang Realm to fall into a difficult situation.

How can such a traitor be qualified to be the emperor of Daxia?"

Xia Yunqiu, dressed in black and gold armor, stood at the front, looking heroic and majestic.

Beside her, Gong Buyu held a Taoist mirror in his hand for protection, his eyes fixed on several highly skilled palace eunuchs standing below the altar.

At this moment, Xia Yunqiu has taken control of the situation. The fire of humanity in her body is burning fiercely, and a large amount of humanitarian luck that escaped from Emperor Xia is also gathering towards her.

Although it is far from reaching the heyday of Emperor Xia, it has far exceeded the position of crown prince.

On the other hand, Emperor Xia, who was at the top of the altar, was the emperor of mankind, but his fortune in humanity was almost as bad as Xia Yunqiu's, and the fortune of the dynasty he controlled had already collapsed.

The majestic emperor seemed to have aged fifty years, and his straight back became hunched.

Those cloudy eyes swept over everyone present, and anger appeared on Emperor Xia's face.

"Good! Good! All the civil and military officials appointed by me personally have now chosen to join this rebellious girl."

Prime Minister Wen took the initiative to step forward and said righteously: "Your Majesty, are you still stubborn and unwilling to change your ways?"

The Imperial Envoy said bluntly: "Because of your selfishness, you have caused such great harm to Daxia and Xuanhuang Realm. How can you be qualified to sit firmly on the throne of the Human Emperor?"

The general sighed, "Your Majesty, please stop!"

The three highest-ranking officials have already expressed their opinions, and the attitudes of the rest of the civil and military officials in the court are self-evident.

Xia Di had a crazy look on his face, staring at Xia Yunqiu:

"Okay, okay, you win this round.

But don't think that you can win everything just by getting the support of these people.

How could the governors of the eighteen states, the local commanders, the envoys of the City God Office, and the envoys of the Imperial Observatory tolerate the existence of a usurper like you?

The entire Daxia is still my world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large teleportation talisman appeared in Emperor Xia's hand, and space distorted as if to teleport him and all his confidants out of the imperial capital.

At this moment, a hand reached into the distorted space and forcibly flattened it.

Then a figure in white clothes as white as snow appeared above the altar, looking down at Emperor Xia with an indifferent expression.

"Where do you want to go?"

Emperor Xia's expression froze for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and spoke word by word:

"Supreme Daoist!"

It was the person in front of him who made all his plans fail, and he even took the blame for plotting against someone from the Dusk Realm.

Now that the Great Teleportation Talisman was forcibly broken, his last way of retreat was cut off, which made his hatred for Shen Yuan reach an unprecedented level.

Shen Yuan didn't care about Emperor Xia's hostility at all. A disqualified Human Emperor was no longer qualified to be called the Human Emperor. He could be killed at will as soon as the succession of imperial power was completed.

But right now, Emperor Xia still has other uses.

Pointing to the dim yellow sun in the incense and fire realm, Shen Yuan said in a deep voice:

"Mobilize the destiny of humanity to seal off the sun in the incense and fire domain."

Emperor Xia was stunned, his eyes swept across the incense and fire realm, and as the one in charge of the destiny of humanity, he immediately realized the cause and effect.

A crazy smile appeared on his face, and there was a hint of joy in Emperor Xia's eyes:

"It is really ironic that a dignified Supreme Daoist would ask me for help."

Shen Yuan frowned, and the pressure of the Yang God suddenly fell on Emperor Xia. This respected emperor wanted to resist, but the huge pressure broke his legs and he fell to the ground.

“Ahhhh!”

A painful roar came from Emperor Xia's mouth, his eyes red as he said:

"You will suffer the consequences for humiliating a human emperor."

Shen Yuan looked indifferent: "I heard that a general manager of the palace, Daxia Prison, developed a method of interrogating practitioners and was praised. I wonder if you have tried this interrogation method yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia seemed to have thought of something, and the madness on his face suddenly turned pale.

There was still resentment in his expression, but at this moment he still replied honestly:

"My human luck is running out, and there is very little human luck left. The part protected by the City God Temple is already at its limit, and it is simply unable to block the dim sun."

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Xia Yunqiu and asked casually:

"If the throne of the Human Emperor changes, can we mobilize enough human luck to block it?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia sneered:

"How can the replacement of the Human Emperor be such a simple matter?

Although I have lost my qualifications, as long as I am in power for one day, I will be recognized by the general trend of humanity, and only I can mobilize the destiny of humanity.

Although that rebellious woman has bewitched people and gathered the fire of humanity, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight to inherit the great trend of humanity. Even if she ascends the throne, she will not be able to mobilize the destiny of humanity in a short period of time. "

After a slight pause, Emperor Xia continued:

"There is only one way to save the Incense Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm, and that is to consolidate my position as the Human Emperor and mobilize the destiny of humanity to seal off the Sun.

I can make a contract with you, making that rebellious girl the crown prince, and requiring you to voluntarily give up the throne within ten years.

By then, everything in Daxia will be under your control, and you can rest assured."

Listening to Emperor Xia's words, Shen Yuan opened the system page with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I think maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

On the artificial intelligence system page, the latest record page has a few large golden words written on it.
