Chapter 212
Guangyang was violently shaken.
All the capable people in Guangyang have turned their attention to this place.
Even those other eighth-rank officials who were indifferent to the matter felt a strong sense of pressure.
The top forces of those powerful Aristocratic Clan and families all used their methods to look in this direction.
Actually, someone had already looked over here, because the Mountain and Water Formation is not something that can be activated casually.
But what's even more terrifying than the activation of the Mountain and Water Grand Array is...
The entire Mountain and Water Formation was broken, and a strong earthquake occurred throughout Guangyang. Thousands of Mountain and Water Gods connected to the formation died instantly, and many more suffered severe injuries.
Such a grand ceremony was forcibly shattered by one person.
The Rat King's pupils constricted! It trembled all over and shrank back to its original form, becoming a rat ball, and hid in the ground.
Fifth rank! That's... Chanzhi's master?!
Holy crap! How did I end up here?!
How can we fight like this?
The Rat King hid, but no one paid him any attention.
After the mountain and water formation collapsed, the black hand slowly dissipated.
Then, suddenly, space twisted, as if someone were tearing and crumpling a piece of transparent plastic, causing the light to become distorted.
Amidst this distortion, a dark-skinned monk with an air of righteousness appeared.
He had dark skin, wore a string of skull prayer beads around his neck, and wore a tall hat, but had a kind and benevolent face, with a faint aura of Buddha's light emanating from him.
He shielded the Chanzhi with one hand, gently surveying the surroundings. "Who was it that almost ruined my disciple's Dao Path?"
He doesn't have any intimidating presence when he speaks.
However, a sense of despair enveloped everything.
The White Rhinoceros Army, including Lie Kedi had fought fiercely and was heavily injured, all wore expressions of despair.
A sense of powerlessness pervaded everyone.
Except for Shen Shuibi, she tilted her head.
But the next second, a gaunt old man dressed in burlap clothes suddenly appeared in front of the monk.
Then he slapped the monk across the face.
Snap!
A crisp sound.
Everyone was stunned.
The soldiers of the White Rhinoceros Army were collectively stunned.
The rat Rat King in the Rat Soil Tomb opened his mouth wide.
Wang Baiyan stopped in her tracks, which were preparing to flee.
He had arrived long ago, but did not show himself. He hid to the side with his men to observe the situation. When he saw a fifth-rank official appear, he immediately ran away, but the slap made him stop.
Wang Baiyan's eyes bulged out.
Zhang Lan, who had just withdrawn from the battlefield and rested for a while before immediately throwing himself back into the fray to fight alongside the White Rhinoceros Army, showed little reaction and continued to swing his sword. He was clearly in a frenzy and no longer paid attention to the outside world.
Besides Shen Shuibi.
Only Shen Shuibi, who provided technical assistance to the White Rhinoceros Army's many Law Treasure outside the battlefield, was not surprised.
Because she knew it was over.
Sometimes, bullying the weak can lead to death.
The dark-skinned demon monk who suddenly appeared was slapped across the face, the sound ringing out crisply.
Even he himself was somewhat taken aback and didn't react for a moment.
But after all, it's only a fifth-rank official.
He immediately came to his senses, but instead of retaliating, he stared intently at the other person. "Who are you?"
The suddenly appearing, gaunt old man merely stared at him coldly. "I've sacrificed thirty percent of my cultivation to give back to heaven and earth, so that this land may return to normal."
"Once you've done all this, you can leave."
The dark-skinned monk first became serious and carefully examined the old man.
Then, he suddenly sneered, "You are only a fifth-rank official, so you are being presumptuous to say such things."
Having been slapped before, he was worried that the person was some powerful figure, so he dared not make any rash moves.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the other party was also a fifth-rank official.
Both are of the fifth rank, and I am also a legitimate successor of the Black Heaven lineage. How dare this person be so presumptuous?
Seriously, I've been looked down upon.
The dark-skinned monk raised his hand, and suddenly, a Law Palace descended upon the site.
This is his Law Treasure.
This grand hall is resplendent in gold and jade, adorned with seven treasures, and draped with silk banners and canopies. An image stands in a chariot, with two bodhisattvas serving as attendants to the heavenly beings. All the figures are sculpted from gold and silver and hang in the void.
It is 60 li long and 30 li wide, with four solemn treasures, a flat base, and a canopy that blocks out the sun.
Its steps are paved with seven layers of precious bricks, and its Law Palace has 84,000 pillars, including gold pillars and silver railings, silver pillars and gold railings, as well as glazed and crystal railings.
Surrounding the hall are four railings, all made of four precious materials, and four steps, also made of four precious materials. Law Palace are eighty-four thousand precious pavilions, the gold pavilions with silver doors and windows, the silver pavilions with gold doors and windows, and the crystal and glazed tile doors as well.
Golden pavilions and silver beds, silver pavilions and golden beds, winding and soft, woven with gold threads, covering the seat, the palace is bright, dazzling people's eyes, as bright as the sun, no one present can look at it.
As the main hall descended, everyone around immediately realized that this was no longer a battle they could intervene in, and everyone who could move was desperately retreating.
But nobody paid them any attention.
The dark-skinned monk's Law Palace had 84,000 doors, all wide open!
Countless things emerge from it.
But then I saw:
Eighty-four thousand elephants, with strong men riding on them, their muscles bulging, their movements shaking the earth.
Eighty-four thousand horses, riding powerful steeds, were ridden by martial artists who displayed their might and power.
Eighty-four thousand chariots, all traveling in golden-wheeled chariots, with archers of golden eyes riding in them, aiming at the surroundings.
Eighty-four thousand divine pearls illuminated the surroundings, dispelling all impurities and protecting against Technique Method.
Eighty-four thousand beautiful maidens, virtuous and kind, attend to him, healing his injuries with skillful hands and benevolent hearts.
Eighty-four thousand lay Buddhists expounded the Dharma, propagated the true fruit, and chanted the name of the temple master.
Then, the main hall opened, Buddha's light.
There were also four thousand Nagas, four thousand Golden-winged Bird, four thousand evil beings, seven thousand great trees, and eight thousand great hells.
Then appeared a host of Yaksa, Yaksa wielding a trident, who surged forth in a frenzy.
Then, from the void a forest of demons and monsters arose, teeming with mosquitoes, horseflies, flies, lice, snakes, centipedes, bees, maggots, and many other poisonous insects, which gathered into a black cloud that covered the sky and the earth.
Then, the surrounding space was immediately sealed off.
The dark-skinned monk was reciting scriptures:
"There are four gates in all directions, and all the alleys and lanes are all the same."
"The prison walls were made of iron, and covered with iron nets."
"If iron is used as the base, flames will naturally emerge."
"For the most serious crimes, remain steadfast and unmoved."
"They fall into the great hell of howling, where the torment is indescribable."
After reciting the sutra, he reached out to invite the gaunt old man. "Benefactor, this humble monk has prepared hell for you, waiting for you to savor it."
The earth was transformed into a purgatory, and the Law Palace that had just been there floated in the air, suppressing everything. Those martial artists, strongmen, jade maidens, Nagas, and Golden-winged Bird were at least eighth-rank, and there were even quite a few seventh-rank ones!
This army alone, powered by such a Law Treasure, could easily sweep away the entire Hundred Forests Kingdom.
This is just a Law Treasure.
As a fifth-rank official, he didn't even have to take action himself.
After all, this is the world now, and the Heavenly Dao of the world does not allow fifth-rank officials to fight each other, otherwise the scope of the impact would not be countable in hundreds of miles.
It's likely that the entire country will be ravaged, with billions of casualties, and the whole of the Hundred Forests Kingdom reduced to ashes.
Almost everyone present was stunned.
To defeat the seventh-rank Chanzhi, they had already exhausted all means and made countless sacrifices.
But the dark-skinned monk in front of them, with a wave of his hand, summoned thousands of seventh-rank monks.
This gap... is chilling.
It's simply indescribable.
The old man not far away glanced at the dark-skinned monk.
The monk, brimming with confidence, summoned the Law Palace and then sat upon the Law Palace.
There was a large cart in the Law Palace, with a white canopy, and golden bells, various fragrant flowers, jeweled banners and canopies hanging on the four sides of the canopy.
The feast was exquisite, and there were various kinds of music and entertainment. The seat had four legs made of pure blue glass.
Behind each seat was a bed adorned with seven jewels, and lamp trees made of seven jewels, with various precious jewels serving as lamplight, and exquisite celestial flowers covering the ground. Heavenly Maiden devoutly offered sacrifices and served them.
He sat there, a slight sneer on his lips, quietly waiting for his opponent's reaction.
He is very confident.
This Law Palace was personally bestowed by the Sacred King of the Wheel.
In the past, he served the Chakravartin Sacred King and received his favor. At that time, the Chakravartin Sacred King led 84,000 people to the Buddha to seek to become monks.
Those 84,000 people all attained the Dao Fruit Arhats, achieving the fifth grade of enlightenment.
As one of them, he is the only one from the Black Heaven lineage.
Out of compassion, the Sacred King of Reincarnation bestowed upon him Law Treasure to protect his Dao Path.
Living in the Dharma Hall eliminates greed, eliminates anger, and eliminates ignorance. This means. "Those who are tainted will not be tainted, those who are evil will not be evil, and those who are stupid will not be stupid." ' (: hui, meaning angry.)
Later, when the Chakravartin Sacred King fought against the King Balananda Dragon, he joined the war for the Chakravartin Sacred King.
Midway through the battle, the King Balananda Dragon wrapped his body around Mount Sumeru seven times, then uprooted Mount Sumeru and threw it away. He was in the mountain at the time, and immediately summoned his Law Palace to defend it.
Mount Sumeru was thrown out of the 62,000 worlds, and he was attached to it, traveling through the 62,000 worlds. When he landed, the aftershocks shook a billion stars. Although the Law Palace was severely damaged, he was unharmed, which shows his quality.
At this moment, the Law Palace descended, like Sea God falling, enough to suppress most situations.
Although the others didn't know its origins, they could still see how terrifying this thing was.
Almost everyone looked at the old man who had slapped them with fear, hoping he could withstand it.
Even if nobody actually knows him.
Of course, it's 'almost everyone'.
There is one exception.
Shen Shuibi wasn't afraid at all.
She could see the current situation at a glance.
She even had time to sit down and begin to sense the energy emanating from the surrounding area due to the battle.
These are all purified and refined qi, which are very helpful for her to repair her body.
As for that dark-skinned monk...
From the moment he summoned his Law Treasure but didn't attack, instead swaggering around on the sidelines, he was already a dead man.
There's no need to look at it anymore.
On the other side, the old man waited quietly for the Law Palace to descend completely.
They waited quietly and calmly for the other person to finish preparing.
Then, suddenly.
The dark-skinned monk tilted his head to the side and quietly passed away.
The power of the Law Palace immediately diminished, and then the old man reached out and caught it, turning it into the size of an egg. The strongmen, maidens, archers, and warriors inside were also taken in.
The old man muttered, "All that fancy stuff... Has he never been to Baiyue before? Just like a simpleton."
Then, he put away the Law Palace: "This Law Palace is not bad. It can be considered a top-grade one among the fifth-grade ones. This trip was not in vain."
The reason for saying this is that the dark-skinned monk was rather careless.
This is Baiyue.
It is the outer boundary of Wushen Mountain. Even though it borders other places, it is actually under the direct jurisdiction of the Shaman Path.
What are the characteristics of Shaman Path?
Shaman are known for their cunning, numerous methods, countless Technique Method, and difficulty in defending against them.
Is it because this Law Treasure is too powerful, having shielded him from too many risks, that it has made him lose his mind?
Coming all the way to Baiyue, and acting so arrogantly towards a diviner...
Baffling.
The diviner excels at two things.
The first is divination.
Secondly, it's Curse...
Could he really think that by not taking any precautions and relying solely on that Law Treasure, he can block his own Curse?
When he slapped himself, did he think it was to vent his anger?
You're an idiot...
That slap was an 'insult'.
Therefore, when rites and music are abandoned and heretical music arises, this is the root of danger, decay, and humiliation. As it is said, 'If one is trapped where there is no real problem, one's reputation will surely be disgraced. If one relies on what is not rightfully one's own, one's life will be in danger. When one is both disgraced and in danger, death is imminent.'
An ancient saying goes, "The way to kill a scholar is to humiliate him."
He was both humiliated and in danger; his death was imminent.
This is Curse.
Without a sound, just one wrong move, and that dark-skinned monk, a dignified fifth-rank official, died without ever knowing why.
The danger and eeriness of Shaman are evident.
Throughout the world, Shaman are notoriously terrifying, and once a Shaman appears, they are always the first targets to be dealt with.
Because Shaman are generally not very good at direct combat, but they are absolutely good at killing you when you least expect it.
Whether it's a Gu worm or Curse, those Shaman are skilled at diplomatic communication and those who divine the future are skilled at analysis, planning, and scheming; both are the type who like to kill people behind their backs.
Wushen Mountain is undoubtedly the most secretive place in the entire world, Shaman are also the people who love to hide things the most.
Even Li Qi was like that.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Qi had also become the type who liked to secretly cause trouble behind people's backs and betray them.
Whether in Guangyang or Clear Mist City, he always moved around behind the scenes, connecting with all sides, and ultimately achieving his goal.
This old man is similar.
For the old man, if the dark-skinned monk appeared and attacked without saying a word, it might cause some trouble and make it difficult for him to defend himself.
But that's impossible.
This is the world.
A fifth-rank official absolutely cannot go all out here, otherwise they will surely Heavenly Punishment.
With the strength of a fifth-rank official, the two of them could easily wreak havoc on an entire country in a battle, with the number of dead often reaching billions.
It should be understood that when a fifth-rank expert fights in the outer realms, the aftershocks can shatter several unlucky small worlds. Even if the world becomes more stable, it cannot stop a fifth-rank expert.
Therefore, the old man was certain that the other party would not launch a fierce attack right away.
Even if his surprise attack was blocked, he had prepared four other plans, at least three different Curse, to ensure that the Curse could attach to the opponent.
In other words, as long as you don't run away as soon as you come out, or directly use all your strength to suppress the Shaman.
Therefore, the death of this dark-skinned monk was already predetermined.
Shen Shuibi was well aware of this, so she didn't waste any time and chose to sit down and wait.
As for the others...
They're just random people; don't worry about them.
Wushen Mountain has already sent a fifth-rank official; that's all over now.
The gaunt old man was well aware of this as well.
He reached out and grabbed, but the pagoda in Guangyang City shattered, and Li Qi's body was grabbed and pulled over.
Even the divided consciousnesses merged together quickly and landed in the center of the battlefield.
At the same time, Bo Yue was also drawn by the same force, flying from thousands of miles away at an extremely fast speed.
Although it was very fast, it was not bumpy at all, as if the acceleration was canceled out by something.
After Bo Yue and Li Qi stood there in a disheveled state, the gaunt old man respectfully bowed to them in front of countless people.
Then, he said very seriously, "I am Le Ya, greetings to Young Master Yue and Young Master Li Qi. I am half a step late, please forgive me."
