Since Shen Yuan knew that the secret of Emperor Xia seemed to be related to weirdness, why wouldn't he make arrangements in advance?
Among the many powers that Shen Yuan possesses, the one that is most able to restrain weirdness is not the destiny of humanity, but the tower spirit Ksitigarbha who sits in the eighteen levels of hell and suppresses weirdness for thousands of years.
Even that part that has penetrated deep into the true spirit and is so weird that even the six realms of reincarnation cannot clear it up can still be suppressed by Ksitigarbha in the endless hell.
Therefore, as early as when the underworld sent the second batch of ghosts and gods to descend on the imperial capital, Shen Yuan secretly used the decree of the Emperor of Fengdu to let Dizang secretly follow the ghosts and gods and sit in the imperial capital.
The seemingly crucial Leopard Tail Yin Shuai is just a cover, and Dizang is Shen Yuan’s real backup.
At the moment when Ksitigarbha appeared in the robe of precious light, a precious light of merit fell from the sky above the entire imperial capital, and a huge amount of golden merit was exposed behind Ksitigarbha and transformed into a huge Dharma wheel.
In the imperial capital, the old monk sent by the Hanging Temple widened his eyes in shock, looking at Ksitigarbha who appeared above the imperial capital in disbelief.
Taoism is prosperous in the Xuanhuang Realm, and the Buddhist heritage is far weaker than that of Taoism, especially after the cessation of communication between heaven and earth for ten thousand years, its decline speed is far greater than that of Taoism.
The Hanging Temple was not originally included in the list of the 72 blessed places, but as many sects declined and the blessed places became vacant, the Hanging Temple was able to be listed as one of the 72 blessed places because of its status as a Buddhist sect. There is still a golden arhat guarding the gate.
Buddhism teaches people how to cultivate merit, but even the knowledgeable old monk of the Hanging Temple has never seen a wheel of merit as huge as that of Ksitigarbha.
Even the golden arhat who guards the sect is far less capable than Ksitigarbha in terms of merit and virtue.
"Could it be that a certain Bodhisattva has come to the lower world?"
Before the old monk of the Hanging Temple could figure out the reason, Dizang strode directly into the realm of incense and fire.
For other practitioners, the strange aura is undoubtedly extremely poisonous. If they are not protected by humanitarian luck, they will be assimilated by the strange aura in an instant, and it is even worse for incense gods.
However, Ksitigarbha, who had now revealed his true form, ignored the chaotic and strange aura in the incense and fire realm, allowing the vast amount of strange aura to entangle his body. The strange creatures that looked like ghosts and gods instantly submerged him.
Emperor Xia, who was standing under the altar, looked a little surprised and doubtful when he saw Ksitigarbha appear. But after seeing that Ksitigarbha did not resist at all and was easily overwhelmed by the weirdness, the doubt in his eyes suddenly turned into sarcastic laughter.
"Idiot! The strangeness has invaded all realms, and countless emperors and celestial masters have perished under it. Even immortals and Buddhas dare not ignore it.
A mere monk who dares to be so arrogant deserves death!"
As he spoke, Emperor Xia looked at Shen Yuan with contempt.
"Is this your trump card? It seems to be nothing more than that."
Shen Yuan did not reply, but just stared quietly into the incense area.
He could clearly see that although Ksitigarbha was surrounded by strange creatures, he himself was not harmed at all. The strange aura that entangled his body could not erode Ksitigarbha's Dharma body at all.
In fact, this is completely expected. Although they are all weird, there are certain differences between them.
The strange part that invaded the Incense Realm came from the Eyes of Dusk. Shen Yuan had previously suppressed it with the power of the Conferred Sun God.
The mysterious nature that Dizang came into contact with was so transcendent that it could even avoid the scouring of the six realms of reincarnation. It took a thousand years of accumulation in a world to give birth to a wisp of breath.
Ksitigarbha's Dharma body suppressed the eighteen levels of hell for ten thousand years. It itself was eroded by the weirdness and merged with the weirdness. Finally, with the help of Shen Yuan, it further completed the transformation.
Under the suppression of his status, the weirdness from the Eyes of Dusk could not erode him at all.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of the intensity of the strange aura within the incense and fire realm, Dizang finally took action.
"town!"
As soon as the decree came out, the power of prison poured out from the projection of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower in his left hand.
As a force that has suppressed weirdness for thousands of years, the power of the Prison has a restraining effect on weirdness that even far exceeds the destiny of humanity. In a trance, it seems that there is a golden god residing in the netherworld overlooking the incense and magic realm.
A large amount of strange aura was forcibly dispersed by the power of the Prison. Those strange creatures that seemed like ghosts and gods crawled on the ground instinctively, their bodies trembling as they bowed down to Ksitigarbha.
In an instant, the originally chaotic incense and Dharma domain was cleared up.
"impossible!"
"How could this be possible?"
Emperor Xia roared, looking at Dizang who was walking among thousands of weird things with disbelief in his eyes.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, almost no one understands the nature of weirdness better than him.
That kind of power is different from spiritual energy and primordial qi, and does not exist in the heavens. Although it has no ability to attack, its strangeness is enough to terrify gods and Buddhas.
In particular, the strangeness's restraint on the power of incense and vows caused the collapse of the Shintoism throughout the heavens and the disintegration of all realms.
From the information he got from the Dusk Realm, he knew that the strong could suppress weirdness with their absolute strength and status.
But although the aura of Ksitigarbha is floating at the moment, it is only at the level of Great True Man Huanxu, which is not enough to suppress the weirdness with power and rules.
This shows that Dizang achieved such an effect entirely by relying on his own strength. It is also because of this that he knows how shocking the scene before him is.
Emperor Xia had not yet recovered from his shock, and the Eyes of Dusk in the Incense Realm could no longer remain calm.
The existence of Ksitigarbha has already made it feel strongly threatened.
The bright light of dusk enveloped the entire Incense Realm. The Incense Realm trembled at this moment, and the strange aura continued to hit Ksitigarbha like a wave.
Being in this turbulent realm, Ksitigarbha approached the setting sun step by step with a majestic look. Even though the waves were terrible, they could not shake Ksitigarbha at all.
A hint of urgency flashed in the Eyes of Dusk, and the outline of the sun that had been maintained completely dissipated, revealing a huge eyeball like a star that stretched across the sky.
The backup plan that the Dusk Realm had left in the foundation of the Incense Realm was triggered, and the entire Incense Realm was slowly collapsing in the midst of the turmoil.
"It is preparing to tear apart the incense and fire domain, allowing the weirdness to forcibly spread into the Xuanhuang Realm."
Shen Yuan immediately understood the intention of the Eyes of Dusk.
“Stop it!”
Dizang also realized the seriousness of the situation. He held up the projection of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda with both hands, and the outline of the eighteen levels of hell appeared, in an attempt to stabilize this area.
The movement of the realm gradually stabilized, but it seemed to have only lasted for a moment before being broken, and cracks appeared on the projection of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
The Incense and Fire Realm is based in Daxia and covers most of the territory of this universe. Even though most of the Incense and Fire Realm is ruled by no gods, its size is still far larger than the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and it cannot be suppressed by the projection of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower alone.
Shen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and the luck of humanity blessed himself. He waved his right hand lightly, tearing open a huge space channel.
Shen Yuan took a step forward and disappeared on the altar.
Upon seeing this, the uneasiness on Emperor Xia's face disappeared, and he laughed wildly:
"The savior and supreme Taoist you thought of was unable to save the situation and actually abandoned you and fled alone."
"If I still rule humanity and play along with the Twilight Realm, I can at least maintain peace for a hundred years.
It's a pity that you trusted the wrong person, which led to this situation. It was you who pushed the Xuanhuang Realm into the abyss!"
No one should have taken Emperor Xia's mocking words seriously, but the sudden departure of the Supreme Taoist did leave all the civil and military officials present in doubt.
Emperor Xia also noticed the officials' uneasiness and sneered, "If you release me and let me return to the throne of the emperor, there might be a glimmer of hope.
If you insist on following this rebellious girl and the Supreme Daoist, you will end up dead."
A sharp sword light flashed, and Emperor Xia's words came to an abrupt end.
The ice sword cut off his head, but the blood solidified in an instant due to the extreme cold, so the head did not fall off. Only a clear bloodstain on the neck could be vaguely seen.
With one sword strike, his soul was completely frozen by the cold weather at the end of the year, and even his true spirit was annihilated under the Taoist magic mirror.
Gong Buyu held a sword made of ice in his hand, and his cold voice slowly sounded at this moment.
"Noisy!"
Then, his cold eyes swept across all the civil and military officials present, and their originally floating thoughts froze in an instant.
Xia Yunqiu did not care about Emperor Xia's death, but looked at Gong Buyu cautiously and asked softly:
"Senior Sister Gong, what should we do next?"
"wait!"
With the help of humanity's destiny, Shen Yuan opened the space channel and returned to Fengdu City, Taizhou, across thousands of miles in one step.
As he stepped into Fengdu City again, Shen Yuan could clearly sense that his status as the Emperor of Fengdu was constantly reviving, and the two greatest magical powers of the Earthly Fiends, Tongyou and Qushen, had also reached their peak.
The status of Emperor Fengdu was revealed without reservation, and a majestic shadow of the emperor appeared in the city of Fengdu.
"It's the Emperor!"
"The Emperor is back!"
"Welcome to the Emperor!"
In Fengdu City, the remaining three ghosts of the Six Heavens of Luofeng who were in charge of the underworld appeared one after another and saluted Shen Yuan, who had manifested himself as the Emperor of Fengdu.
Shen Yuan, who was wearing the imperial robes and crown, did not speak, but looked upwards.
Even in Fengdu City, one can still see the incense-burning domain that covers the entire Daxia.
This incense domain is based on the Eyes of Dusk, which blocks the protection of the world by the will of heaven and earth, allowing the world to accommodate stronger people.
However, this incense and fire domain cannot be destroyed at will. Once the incense and fire domain collapses, the Eyes of Dusk and the weirdness within it will spread to the Xuanhuang Realm without reservation.
Even if a thunder calamity from heaven and earth comes at that time, it may not be able to completely eliminate all the strange pollution. At that time, the Xuanhuang Realm, which has been stable for ten thousand years, will suffer the same disaster as other realms.
His gaze traveled thousands of miles and looked at the battle in the imperial capital's incense and law domain. As the emperor of Shinto, Shen Yuan actually felt a little uneasy when his gaze came into contact with the terrifying and strange waves and the eyes of dusk.
“This strange aura can actually affect even the incomplete Shinto Emperor. If one sees the strangeness behind the Eyes of Dusk, it might have the ability to threaten the Shinto Emperor.
However, compared to the fact that the aura alone can easily corrode the City God, the high status of the Shinto Emperor still has certain advantages. "
“But the foundation of the incense and fire Shinto is ultimately in the gods at the bottom of the worlds. The spread of weirdness will inevitably lead to the collapse of the Shinto hierarchy.
Is this the source of Emperor Donghua's fall?"
He had a vague understanding in his mind, but Shen Yuan didn't have the opportunity to think about it carefully at the moment.
The will of the Emperor of Fengdu flowed, and the entire underworld trembled at this moment. Along with the roar of the earth, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, which turned into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, slowly rose from the depths of the earth.
This half-step world-opening treasure is filled with the breath of ancient times. The murals on it depict the three paths of gods, ghosts and humans, as if encompassing all things in the world.
Holding the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower in his right hand, Shen Yuan waved his hand towards the direction of the imperial capital.
"go!"
The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, carrying the will of Emperor Fengdu, broke through the boundary and descended into the incense and magic domain above the imperial capital.
The huge pagoda blocked out the sky and the sun, and the terrifying power of prison in the treasure of Half a Step to Opening the World poured down to suppress all the weirdness.
With the arrival of the real body, Ksitigarbha, who had been trying his best to stabilize the incense and Dharma domain, relaxed.
The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is a treasure that can open up a world half-step away. It has the ability to open up a world and suppressing a realm is a piece of cake.
Above the sky, the Eyes of Dusk, which was trying hard to tear apart the Incense Realm, suddenly felt that the space barrier was now more than a hundred times more stable than before. The Incense Realm that was about to collapse was now stable.
Dusk Eyes froze.
It has already landed its true body in the Xuanhuang Realm, and there is no possibility of it returning to the Dusk Realm.
The plan to tear apart the Incense Realm also failed with the arrival of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, and it was now in a dilemma.
But after just a few breaths, the Eyes of Dusk stabilized its emotions and looked at Ksitigarbha. It was as if some strange musical notes pieced together by the wriggling of some mollusk slowly sounded here.
"I am the foundation of the Incense and Fire Realm. Killing me is to actively destroy the Incense and Fire Realm. The only thing you can do is to seal me.
But even a powerful seal will eventually break, and I have plenty of time to wait for the day when I can return."
Ksitigarbha remained unmoved, but another majestic voice slowly sounded in the incense-burning Dharma realm.
"I think you probably won't be able to wait until that day."
At this moment, all the humanity of Daxia gathered on the tall figure in Fengdu City. The great trend of humanity, the order of the gods, and the origin of the underworld were all imposed on him, reaching an unprecedented peak.
Shen Yuan slowly stretched out his right hand, and the three original identities of man, ghost and god pried open this world.
The sky of the Xuanhuang Realm fell into darkness at this moment.
A dark color covered the sun, and the silence and gloom revealed by it seemed to turn the world into a dark place.
Then, a huge hand that was far beyond everyone's imagination slowly appeared under the inky sky.
The fingerprints on it are like mountains and ravines. One of his fingers can cover an entire state. When his five fingers are spread out, all the eighteen states of Daxia are covered in his hand.
Everyone was then horrified to find that the inky black sky that blocked out the sun was actually a corner of the giant hand's sleeve.
Five fingers fell, and the incense and fire domain that originally enveloped Daxia was completely grasped in the palm of this infinite hand.
In Fengdu City, the three gods of the Six Heavens of Luofeng suddenly realized that their divine power was growing wildly. Before they could understand the reason, they saw a huge hand holding up a realm and forcing it into the underworld.
Afterwards, the magnificent imperial decree returned to ** between heaven and earth.
"All the incense and fire areas are the land of the underworld!"
