Demon Prince

Faced with the situation where Canghou the 'human world' and the puppets were being destroyed countless times, Li Qi knew that he had reached a point where he had no other choice.

As a member of the Five Aggregates Demon lineage, the opponent inexplicably displayed the power of 'human desires,' which is clearly not part of the Five Aggregates Demon lineage.

There must be something fishy about this.

Fortunately, Li Qi had read enough books and also had a good understanding of Human Path.

He attended classes at the Imperial Academy and received Imperial Academy Jijiu from the Academy's Chancellor, so his understanding of Human Path was quite profound.

A person who Reason Way may not understand the Human Path as well as he does. It should be known that the Human Path is one of the foundations of Li Qi's Way.

Having multiple Dao Path running in parallel has the disadvantage of being prone to self-destruction at any time, and the Dao Path may be cut off at any time.

However, the advantage is that there are many methods available, and coupled with Li Qi's extensive reading, he has knowledge far exceeding his own level.

Li Qi decisively performed the ritual, and then, risking that Shen Shuibi's protective amulet might be completely burned, he immediately began sending a message!

He had to respond with a typical Human Path approach, so he quoted the words of the Imperial Academy Jijiu, a third-rank official. "Preserve Heavenly Principle and extinguish human desires! This can break the deadlock!"

After saying that, he immediately prepared to cut off the sacrificial ceremony to avoid being affected by the aftermath.

However, before Li Qi could make a move, he suddenly discovered that... the talisman was not moving.

In other words, no aftershocks were transmitted.

Was Canghou stepping in to cover for him? Did he have something to say to him?

So Li Qi continued the sacrificial ceremony, frowning as he said, "Senior, there's no need to shield me. It would be a waste of your energy at a time like this, and it would be detrimental to the battle."

However, Cang Canghou responded, "Don't worry, he's also protecting something, and he's communicating with others. That person... is also weak, but I suspect it's similar to the background I know him to—"

"You mean he also has someone similar to me behind him?" Li Qi interrupted Canghou's words and gave a concise summary.

"Almost. We're both currently trapped. I'll try to break this deadlock as you suggested. Young Master, you take the lead. Otherwise... the enemy will probably know my background by now," Canghou said immediately.

He had already addressed Li Qi as "Young Master" because he realized that this matter was probably not so simple. The young man in front of him had a background far beyond his imagination, and knew even more secrets than he, a fourth-rank official.

The Heavenly Demonic Dao Charm... someone who can casually take out something like that... and the sacrificial ceremony just now, which included many fourth-grade treasures, is enough to show how extraordinary the other party is.

Furthermore, the person behind Moloyan at this moment must also be an equal...

This is enough to show that being dragged into the underworld was not a whim, but rather a premeditated act by someone who had seized the opportunity.

Behind this might lie a struggle between several Dao Lineage!

Having figured this out, Canghou didn't hesitate at all and immediately began to use the Human Path methods that Li Qi had suggested to start constructing the Technique Method from scratch.

Because Li Qi was not qualified to instruct them on specific operations; the operational intensity of a fourth-rank officer was far greater than that of Li Qi.

Li Qi could only use the little knowledge he had gleaned from high-ranking individuals by leveraging his status to teach these fourth-rank officials, as a reminder that this was also a viable option.

In this way, a fourth-ranked person can create the corresponding Technique Method based on this reminder.

With the six words "Preserve the Heavenly Principle, extinguish human desires" from the Imperial Academy Jijiu, the corresponding Technique Method immediately took shape.

The principles of Heavenly Principle and human desires are in constant flux. Where there are principles of Heavenly Principle, there is harmony between Celestial Person and humanity; where there are human desires, there is no Heavenly Principle.

This idea essentially places the Heavenly Principle in opposition to human desires. For every bit of human desire, a bit of the Heavenly Principle are extinguished; for every bit of the principles of Heavenly Principle, a bit of human desire is overcome. Only when human desires run rampant will the Heavenly Principle be destroyed.

The moment the "human heart" stirs, it becomes "human desire." Once human desire arises, demonic thoughts arise, and one embarks on a perilous path, losing virtue and destroying oneself, with the ruin of the country and family imminent.

Human desires manifest internally as lust and externally as sensual indulgence, as well as a fondness for fine wine and music, and the construction of grand buildings and ornate walls—all stemming from this.

When the Heavenly Principle prevail, human desires perish; when human desires prevail, the Heavenly Principle decline. Therefore, "Preserve the Heavenly Principle and eliminate human desires." Thus, the principles of Heavenly Principle and human desires must be separated. The current state of affairs in the 'human world' is incorrect.

With the guidance of the Dao, the corresponding Technique Method immediately take shape.

But then we saw that the principles of Heavenly Principle and human desires immediately separated. The principles that were previously intertwined were now separated like water and oil!

However, Moloyan also immediately took action.

Almost simultaneously, Moloyan unleashed a new Technique Method, based on a different set of principles, and it was an extremely advanced demonic technique.

Li Qi immediately began to perceive through the connections constructed by the sacrificial ceremony.

As expected, it was the work of the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon believes that all things in the world share one heart, which is his own heart. He is the heart of Heaven, and also the heart of man.

Therefore, the will of Heaven is the will of the people, and the principles of Heavenly Principle are the principles of humanity. So why distinguish between the Heavenly Principle and human desires? They are one and the same.

With such demonic means appearing, Cang Hou, who had just tried to break Canghou, was once again firmly bound. The principles of Heavenly Principle and humanity are inherently one, and their bond became even stronger from the root, making them inseparable.

With their principles aligned in this way, neither side could take any further action.

"I do not understand the laws of the Heavenly Demon, please tell me the next step, young master." Canghou did not act rashly, but maintained her independence and sent a message to Li Qi.

Li Qi didn't dare to speak directly.

If they take one step forward, they will both be buried here.

He immediately began to use all his knowledge, all his memories, and the secrets he had collected to make judgments.

His brain began to overheat, and the external world that supported his thinking gradually became overloaded.

A wealth of knowledge flowed through his mind, while True Knowledge Dao Charm was also gathering intelligence on the other side.

Several seconds later, Li Qi's outer world was completely overloaded. His thinking speed had exceeded the limit he could bear, and his brain was almost cooked.

However, the answer soon became clear.

Li Qi immediately said, "Senior Canghou, please lend me a hand! Share some of your cultivation with me to protect my soul!"

Canghou didn't know what Li Qi was going to do, but he also knew that mutual trust was needed to get through this difficult time. So without asking, he directly drew out a portion of his power from the life-or-death struggle and sent it to Li Qi to protect him.

Dividing one's strength amidst the entanglement of the fourth-rank official is tantamount to revealing a weakness. Doing such a thing truly demonstrates an extreme level of trust in Li Qi.

Upon receiving this offer of protection, Li Qi rushed into the room without hesitation and appeared in front of Monk Jingmo in a few flashes.

Monk Jingmo was a true Buddha Child.

At this moment, like everyone else on the ship, he was bewitched by the Five Aggregates Demon energy of the Devil Lord Moloyan and lost his five senses.

Of the entire ship, only Li Qi managed to break free from the Five Aggregates Demon Qi using his own strength; no one else could do it. This was thanks to Li Qi's previous experience with the Five Aggregates Demonic Blood.

Li Qi rushed up to the Monk Jingmo and, taking advantage of his vulnerability, began to strip away his Buddhist aura without hesitation using Curse.

You are Buddha Child! You must possess protective energy personally transmitted from the Buddha or your master!

Therefore, Li Qi directly and forcibly stripped away the Qi from the other party and used it for his own purposes!

Normally, it would encounter fierce resistance, making it impossible to do this.

But at this moment, the Five Aggregates Demon Energy is still present, and the Five Senses are absent Monk Jingmo might not even be able to sense what is happening to him. Li Qi is taking advantage of the situation, which greatly reduces the difficulty.

However, Li Qi was prepared to be attacked by the Monk Jingmo's physical instincts, which is why he asked Canghou to protect him, so as not to be killed here by the Buddhist energy rebound.

Li Qi carefully used the incantation to steal the Buddhist energy and began to strip it away.

However, to Li Qi's surprise, the theft went very smoothly, with almost no resistance.

It's like...

It seems that Monk Jingmo is actively cooperating?

Li Qi didn't have time to think about those things. He stripped away the Buddhist energy as quickly as possible, and in just a few dozen seconds, he had a wisp of intact Buddhist energy in his hand.

The aura of Buddha is pale green, emanating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, completely devoid of any aggression, seemingly only conveying a sense of pure protection and comfort.

This is the Buddha-aura of Pure Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata, Medicine King Buddha...

The separation went incredibly smoothly.

However, this was a good thing. Li Qi didn't think about anything else. He immediately sat down cross-legged, put his hands together, and gathered Buddhist energy in his palms.

Then, he began to chant the incantation aloud:

"I now recite this mantra, proclaiming the Buddha's Edict. All beings, relying on the Tathagata's Tathagata's Power, upon hearing and reciting this mantra, should join their palms in reverence and bow in worship. I vow, by the Buddha's might, that each of you may come to protect me, never to be separated from me in my daily life, whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. Furthermore, I solemnly subdue all your followers and relatives. Demons, listen attentively:"

Based on a wisp of Buddhist energy from a first-class master, and combined with Li Qi's understanding of both the demonic path and Buddhism, Li Qi chanted Buddhist Incantation, using the Buddhist energy of the Medicine King Buddha as a catalyst to draw forth the Buddha's Crown Light!

The so-called Buddha's Crown Light refers to the halo of light above the head of Buddha Great Sun Tathagata Vairocana Buddha.

This circle of light possesses incredible power, capable of dispelling all darkness and accomplishing all merits.

Another characteristic of the Buddha's Crown Light is that as long as one chants Buddhist Scriptures, one can receive help and receive the Buddha's protection.

Buddhist Scriptures say, "A thousand-petaled jeweled lotus emerged from the light. There was a Tathagata, who sat in the jeweled flower, with ten rays of light of a hundred jewels emanating from his head."

"The light is everywhere, its density is like ten Ganges sand. Vajrapani holds up a mountain and a pestle, and is everywhere in the void. The masses look up to him, filled with awe and love, and pray for the Buddha's compassion and protection."

The crowd looked up in awe, filled with both fear and love, and prayed for the Buddha's mercy and protection.

If you are willing to understand Buddhist Scriptures, contemplate Buddhist Scriptures, and chant the name of the Buddha, you can attract some power.

In other words... to align oneself with Buddhism, to align oneself with the overall direction of the Dao Path.

Normally, the Buddha's Crown Light shines upon all the heavens and the myriad realms, and the power it can attract is limited. But at this moment, with the Buddha's energy of the Medicine King Buddha as a catalyst, the power attracted is enough to dispel the supernatural Divine Ability of the Devil Lord Moloyan!

Moreover, it only uses the Buddha's energy of Medicine King Buddha as a guide, without directly consuming this wisp of Buddha's energy. It can be returned to Monk Jingmo afterward, so that the person's protective treasure is not used up privately.

Li Qi continued chanting the Buddhist Incantation. After saying, "Listen carefully," the real big event was about to begin.

But then a Dharma image appeared behind him, and the entire Dharma image began to transform into the Buddhist mind method, and eight arms began to grow. He sat cross-legged, wearing a Wei-style topknot, and his eight hands formed the Dharma Realm Mudra, with the left hand below and the right hand above, and the two thumbs touching.

The Law Seals is complete, the Buddha's energy is the foundation; now we chant the Buddhist Incantation again. Listen attentively:

"All Vajra Lords, lead all beings to the Three Jewels, cure all grievances and harms, dispel all illnesses and difficulties, and bring forth joy. With the billions of bodies and billions of hands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, subdue all powerful ghosts and spirits. Relying on this Great Bright Heart Mantra of the Gathering of Light at the Crown of the Buddha, they shall not enter my bounded realm!"

As he spoke, the Buddhist energy suddenly burst forth with power!

Subdue all powerful demons and spirits, and prevent them from entering my bounded realm!

In the center of the battlefield thousands of miles away, Canghou trembled as he sensed the Buddhist aura, an aura of the first rank!

Li Qi did not directly send him to deal with the Devil Lord Moloyan. He knew that even with the support of a first-grade Qi, it would still be a dead end for him to take action.

Therefore, Li Qi was merely performing magic!

But Canghou quickly sat Heavenly Principle -legged, and the same aura as Li Qi immediately appeared around him.

When the Dharma Realm Seal appeared, Li Qi's Dharma teachings gave him ample learning opportunities, and he also began chanting Buddhist Incantation!

As he unleashed his power, the next level of the Buddhist Incantation began to emerge. He recited it more fluently than Li Qi. Guided by the Buddhist energy, Canghou accepted these Technique Method without hesitation.

The Reason Way do not concern themselves with means, so they can naturally use Buddhist Incantation!

Canghou is a fourth-rank official. He can finish reciting Buddhist Incantation that Li Qi could not, and he can withstand the shocks that Li Qi could not bear.

With Li Qi's teachings as a starting point, coupled with the guidance of Buddhist energy and the Buddha's Crown Light, he, as a fourth-rank official, immediately knew how to continue!

Heavenly Principle principles transformed into Buddhist Principle, and Technique Method transformed into Buddhist teachings. The figure Canghou radiated golden light, and a solemn, resounding voice echoed:

"The twelve-yojana boundary ground is used to imprison all evil demons, evil spirits, and god kings, preventing them from entering and causing harm. By this incantation, all evil spirits and gods are bound!"

"Subdue all the great demon generals who wield power, all the mighty demons and spirits, and universally crush all evil demons and spirits—"

The resounding chanting of Buddhist hymns echoed throughout the tranquil world!

"Subdue, subdue, subdue, subdue! Destroy, destroy, destroy! Destroy, destroy! Calamity vanishes, auspiciousness is achieved."

"I command all beings in heaven and on earth to eradicate all evil and gather away misfortune."

"To liberate all beings, to fulfill my vow, to have no obstacles, and to have all my wishes fulfilled."

"Forgive my sins, and I beseech the World Honored One to rely on divine power to grant all sentient beings constant protection!"

The Canghou loudly chanted a mantra!

The power of the incantation gradually rose.

These Buddhist Incantation are made in the face of the Buddha's Crown Light, representing a great vow. They are used to invoke the power of the World Honored One's crown radiance through the power of the mantra.

When a fourth-rank official personally did this, the power he unleashed directly neutralized all of Moloyan's power.

It should be noted that Buddhism has always been the greatest and strongest enemy of the demonic path, and the Heavenly Demon and Buddha are adversaries who have been entangled since ancient times.

Although the Heavenly Demon usually loses, the fact that he is still alive after losing proves a lot.

As the Buddha's Crown Light descended, Moloyan panicked; he couldn't handle it!

He shouted loudly, "Ao Guangxiao! Hurry up over there! And Demon Prince, please continue to lend me a hand! Perform your magic for me and break this stalemate!"

Along with the title of 'Demon Prince', similar performance styles to Li Qi also suddenly appeared in the sky!
