The Beimang Ghost Ancestor arrived as scheduled, but his attack was not directed at the Yin-Yang Dharma King. Instead, his Sword Qi swept across the sky, aiming at the Virtuous Deed Tathagata.
Wherever the Dark Nether Sword Qi reached, Ghost Cry. The Beimang Ghost Ancestor made a fierce move, which Virtuous Deed Tathagata could not underestimate.
This old ghost, Su Che looked at the person in front of him, and he was clearly the middle-aged scholar he had met outside Guobei County.
The unpredictable nature of the situation reminded Su Che of solving permutation and combination problems back in the day.
How did the Beimang Ghost Ancestor, who was eyeing the Yin-Yang Realm with covetous intent, suddenly become an ally of the Yin-Yang Dharma King?
The rapid changes in the situation gave Su Che a sudden feeling that the king's flag was changing hands all over the city.
The sword light was sharp and filled with boundless resentment. Behind the Beimang Ghost Ancestor, four long white bone banners appeared, inscribed with the four characters "birth, old age, sickness, and death".
" Shande, you Non-Self match for my Three Tai Hell Swords. Go and summon Faming, or you will surely die under my Four Absolutes Banners. Your Buddhist School speak of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness. Do not let your hard-earned Buddhahood turn into nothingness."
The Virtuous Deed Tathagata revealed a golden bowl in his hand. He chanted incantations, and the Buddha Light behind him shone like the sea, sealing off the Sword Qi of the Ghost Ancestor, which was accompanied by a ghostly howl.
The Hungry Ghost Path has not yet been fully established, and it will still take time to completely replace the original laws of this Yin-Yang Realm. According to the rules of the Mysterious Capital Palace, the Virtuous Deed Tathagata only suppress his own cultivation and confront the Beimang Ghost Ancestor.
He could sense that the eyes of the Earth Immortal of the Mysterious Capital Palace were fixed on this spot. Even if there was a tacit understanding between the two sides, if he crossed the line, Mysterious Capital Palace would definitely punish him severely as a warning to others.
In contrast, the Beimang Ghost Ancestor seemed to have no worries at all. He used his fingers as swords and guided the Tai Hell Sword Qi. Although the famous Three Tai Hell Swords had not yet been fully unleashed, he launched attack after attack, Virtuous Deed Tathagata no choice but to parry.
not good.
Su Che suddenly realized something and whispered to Bai Hejiao beside him.
"Madam Bai, is there any way to send me and my men out of this Yin-Yang Dharma Domain?"
"You're rather slow to realize things," replied the Dragon Girl Yun Luo this time. "Don't worry, you'll naturally have a chance to leave this Yin-Yang Dharma Domain later."
" Young Master Su, rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will protect you."
Bai Hejiao smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a myriad of charms as she stared at Su Che.
The feelings between them had grown so intensely and rapidly that Su Che suddenly remembered exactly what he had done to wrong the Little Fox.
Oh right, I promised to reply to her using that " Two Hearts Know " phrase, but then I got busy and forgot.
Su Che quickly grasped the ins and outs of the matter, as if reviewing a series of images on a fast track.
He had come to the Yin-Yang Realm to investigate the Golden Book Assembly that day, and he had met two people outside the shed in Guobei County.
One is the mysterious middle-aged scholar, Old Man Withered Cloud, and the other is the ghost messenger Tai Gongchong, who comes out to search for female entertainers.
These two men, one an incarnation of the Beimang Ghost Ancestor and the other the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei himself, are they really just coincidences that such cunning Old Fox would appear in the same shed?
Absolutely not.
Therefore, it was not by chance that I "accidentally" traveled with these two top figures in this world; rather, I "accidentally" stumbled into their meeting place where they were conspiring and discussing matters.
These two old ghosts had long ago reached an understanding in the Yin-Yang Realm.
But now, one of them is about to throw a punch at the Yin-Yang Dharma King, while the other uses his ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi to block the Yin-Yang Dharma King's greatest opponent, the Ancient Buddha from the Western Land.
Isn't it strange that they hold such diametrically opposed positions?
Adding to the mystery of Bai Hejiao beside him, Su Che absolutely did not believe that he was particularly charming. If he were truly charming, his predecessor would not have gone so far as to sexually assault the wife of a Ministry of War official.
Wouldn't it be better to be a witch and seductress hunter, eliminating evil and upholding justice every day, and persuading people to reform?
The Plain Maiden Cult and the Qiantang Dragon Clan —are there still secrets hidden within?
So something else is bound to happen next.
"Why is the Ghost Ancestor pressing us so hard? Is the Ghost Ancestor perhaps waiting for the fellow Daoists of the Mysterious Capital Palace to make a move?"
The Virtuous Deed Tathagata raised his golden bowl high, absorbing all the surging Sword Qi of the Beimang Ghost Ancestor. Under his Buddha Light, the Hungry Ghost in the Yin-Yang Realm gradually took shape, and the Buddhist Chant in the sky became clearer.
"Namo Buddha. Does the Dharma King know of the Ghost Ancestor's methods of manipulating events so drastically?"
With a single chant of the Buddha's name, the sixteen-foot- Golden Body of the Dharma Radiance Tathagata Brightness manifested. He held Jade Purifying Vase, and a Mani Jewel was atop his ushnisha (cranial protuberance).
Two of the three Ancient Buddha who suppressed the Hungry Ghost Path Buddhist School, and the entire Yin-Yang Realm seemed to be connected with the Hungry Ghost Path in an instant. With the body of Mùlián as the anchor, countless Hungry Ghost surged in through this passage.
With each surge of Hungry Ghost, the Buddhist Chant in the Yin-Yang Realm intensified. They ran like wild beasts, devouring any inhabitants of the Yin-Yang Realm they encountered without question, treating them as their own food.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Realm had become a battlefield. Lord Linghu, the Mighty Ghost King, Lü Zhengmao, except for Situ Tu who was nowhere to be seen, were all ghost generals leading their subordinates in a fierce battle against the surging Hungry Ghost.
" Ghost Ancestor, the conversion of the Yin-Yang Realm to Buddhism is a foregone conclusion, why struggle to maintain it?"
Dharma Radiance Tathagata appeared, his Buddha Light merged with that of Virtuous Deed Tathagata, pointing directly into the depths of the main hall.
Amidst this vast expanse of Buddha Light, the Yin-Yang Dharma King diligently strives to maintain the clarity of his mind.
The Yin-Yang Dharma King knew all too well that if Buddhist School only sought the Yin-Yang Realm, that would be fine, but if they set their sights on the Six Heavens Yin Instrument and the remains of their former fellow Daoists...
They must know.
So be it.
A grand plan spanning ten thousand years, a tragedy spanning a thousand years, ultimately amounted to nothing.
It was time to see his former master again. The Yin-Yang Dharma King sighed softly in his heart, but how could he answer that person from back then when he met those bright eyes again?
"I have fulfilled my mission?" Perhaps all I can say is a sense of shame.
With a long roar, the Yin-Yang Dharma King unleashed a burst of flames from his Azure Origin Umbrella, a testament to his accumulated Law Power, his understanding of the Principle of heaven and earth, and his mastery of the Yin-Yang Realm.
At this moment, he still seemed to be the supreme Dharma King who ruled the Yin-Yang Realm, whose prestige could not be shaken even by the two Ancient Buddha.
"When I left, the willows were swaying gently. Now I return, the rain and snow are falling heavily."
Perhaps this is the end for me.
"Good apprentice."
The Beimang Ghost Ancestor was wielding his sword to cleave the clouds, suddenly shouted out inexplicably.
His right hand was loosely gripping what appeared to be a sword hilt, while his left hand formed a sword-wielding gesture.
"I will personally demonstrate this Tai Hell Avici Sword to you, Zuo Lengchan. Take a good look. When you travel the world in the future, do not disgrace the reputation of my Ghost Ancestor Palace."
The Beimang Ghost Ancestor turned around and wielded his sword, unleashing layers of Sword Qi that pierced through the clouds.
"I possess a sword that asks not for Karmic Cause and Effect, but only for annihilation. I beseech the Dharma Radiance Tathagata a look."
The Sword Qi was dark and the sword intent was overwhelming. The Beimang Ghost Ancestor slowly swung his sword. Although he had no sword in his hand, everyone felt the sharpness of his sword.
Unstoppable.
This was an extremely sorrowful sword strike, imbued with the pain of countless dead souls. It contained their regret, their sorrow, and their memories.
These are times that will never return.
This sword strike seemed to have reached the end of everything; heaven and earth, the sun and moon, everything shattered like an illusion under this sword strike. The sword of the Beimang Ghost Ancestor had reached its end.
At the end of the Tai Hell Avici Sword, there is only desolation.
Dharma Radiance Tathagata; the spot where the Beimang Ghost Ancestor fell was precisely the Yin-Yang Dharma Domain Realm itself.
Dharma Radiance Tathagata raised his pure vase high, using his sixteen-foot Golden Body to block the Ghost Ancestor's sword. He actually used his Dharma body to directly withstand the Ghost Ancestor's sword strike at its most powerful point.
Layer by layer, it crumbled.
Countless wounds appeared on the body of Dharma Radiance Tathagata, and purple-gold blood plasma spread out, like a blood mist.
His eyes were vacant, yet Immovability; only sorrow filled his gaze.
" Qiantang, when will we get another chance?"
Yuwen Rui, who had been observing the changes from the side, suddenly roared. The aura of the Northern Wei national teacher rose higher and higher, his figure as steady as a mountain, and his hands showed the Yin-Yang transformations, holding the key to thunder.
This is the Sea-Splitting Thunder Hammer.
With a single punch, the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei had already reached the pinnacle of power exerted by the Immortal True Person. The target of his punch was the Yin-Yang Dharma Domain Realm itself.
With a roar from Yuwen Rui, a tremendous force slammed down from outside the Yin-Yang Realm. The two of them blasted a gaping hole in the sky above the Yin-Yang Realm, and countless crimson-gold scales on the enormous dragon claw tore a brilliant wound through the sky.
This is the Dragon Lord of Qiantang Dragon Lord of Qiantang.
The mystery in Su Che's heart finally had an answer.
The Beimang Ghost Ancestor, Yuwen Rui, and the Dragon Lord of Qiantang all share the same goal: to destroy this Yin-Yang Dharma Domain.
A gap was torn open in the sky, and the earth trembled incessantly.
A dragon's roar did not originate from outside the Yin-Yang Realm, but rather came from beneath the earth within the Yin-Yang Realm.
It seems that some long-dormant power has finally awakened, eager to break free from its shackles and reclaim its former freedom.
This Yin-Yang Realm, finally eroded by the Hungry Ghost Path and attacked internally by six Immortal True Person, lost its original order and inevitably headed towards collapse.
"Your Majesty, the Yin-Yang Realm is about to shatter, and countless ghosts will be scattered throughout the human world. This will be a great calamity, and you and I will commit boundless evil deeds."
The voice of Dharma Radiance Tathagata rang out.
His voice now carried a hint of age that shouldn't have come from him.
"If the Dharma King is willing to help me, and with our combined strength we can rebuild this world, I swear by my own attainment of Buddhahood that I will ensure your eternal Longevity Realm, and that you will have a place of venerable Dharma King in the Spirit Coffin Temple."
"Namo Buddha, may I, Shande, also make this great vow."
The two Ancient Buddha statues in the Buddhist School are most aware of the changes involved.
The three— Yuwen Rui, the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei; Dragon Lord of Qiantang; and Beimang Ghost Ancestor— all made their moves directly upon the Yin- Yin-Yang Realm Yin-Yang Dharma Domain, causing the foundational elements within it to weaken.
If we cannot join forces with the Yin-Yang Dharma King in time, the Buddhist School may be in vain.
The Yin-Yang Realm is the foundation upon which Buddhist School stands in the Central Land. If the Yin-Yang Realm ceases to exist, how can it gain a foothold before the Mysterious Capital Palace?
That's enough for now.
A voice that Su Che knew all too well sighed softly beside Su Che.
Ancient attire, a desolate bronze mask— Zhongyuan reappears beside Su Che once more.
This time, he once again opened his sleeve, his target being the grand hall behind the Yin-Yang Dharma King.
Let's go.
Layers of eerie light surged like a giant wave as Zhongyuan ascended through the air, taking the Yin-Yang Dharma King and the palace behind him into his sleeve.
"If you want the world to move, then make it move even faster."
Zhongyuan looked up at the sky and whispered.
As the palace was gone, the tremors between the Yin-Yang Realm intensified.
Dharma Radiance Tathagata chanted the Buddha's name, five halos appeared behind him, each containing three Ancient Buddha sitting cross-legged.
As layers of Law Power rippled, a bone-chilling wind burst forth from the gap where the palace had vanished.
A massive Dragon Spirit, whipping up layers of icy winds, soared out from the gap beneath the main hall.
Let's go.
Bai Hejiao whispered something in Su Che's ear.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
