Chapter 316: Sword Slaying Buddha
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the expressionless woman in black in front of him, whose appearance was so beautiful that it was beyond words, lowered his eyes and sighed.
"Amitabha, I am honored to meet you, the Emperor of Earth, who is the God of Heaven and Earth."
'laugh……'
When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was speaking, layers of black-gold Buddha light were lingering around him, resisting the mother energy of the earth that seemed to be everywhere.
If not for this, he would not have had time to speak in front of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi.
Because it was obvious that the emperor in front of him didn't want to have any communication with him at all.
The black-gold Buddha's light was annihilated layer by layer, and the originally generous and tolerant mother energy of the earth now carried an indescribable aggressiveness.
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji's eyes were extremely cold and without any emotion. Even when facing the greeting from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he did not react at all.
This means that he is not going to give the other party any face at all.
Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are both persons with great supernatural powers, but there is obviously a huge gap between them.
However, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji did not rush to take action, but just quietly stalemate with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
No, rather than a stalemate, it would be more accurate to say that it was Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi who suppressed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
In front of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, who is temporarily free of any pressure and does not need to bear any heavy karma, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is obviously not enough.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression became more and more sad, but there was a look of perseverance in his eyes, just like a stubborn reef on the sea, resisting the impact of endless waves.
The black-gold Buddha light and the mother energy of the earth were entangled and confronting each other in mid-air. The latter had complete suppression on the former, which resulted in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva having no time to take care of other things. If he dared to be distracted even a little, he would immediately face the ruthless suppression of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji.
If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were the only one here, he could persist for a very long time.
But the problem is that this is Cuiyun Palace, and there are many ghosts, gods and Buddhists belonging to Cuiyun Palace.
And these ghosts, gods and Buddhists are being gradually strangled by the soldiers of Fengdu.
"Fengdu God! Rise!"
General Jiuyuan Shatong had taken up the extremely heavy Fengdu battle flag at some point, and the dark and gloomy Fengdu gods and demons emerged from the flag.
Under the blessing of Fengdu gods and demons, all the ghosts and gods belonging to Fengdu were covered with an extremely dark evil spirit.
His combat power increased by almost 30%.
What’s even more deadly is that within the coverage area of Fengdu’s evil spirits, cultivators who do not belong to Fengdu are completely suppressed.
Even the perfect aura of a Golden Immortal would be eroded by the evil spirits of Fengdu, resulting in cracks at the causal level.
The greatest reliance of the Golden Immortal is his own perfection. Without this characteristic, it would not be difficult to kill the Golden Immortal.
Even the Taiyi Golden Immortal, who had pushed perfection to a more complete level and was above the Golden Immortal, was greatly weakened by the erosion of the Fengdu Demon.
As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, it is only a matter of time before the gods of Fengdu strangle Cuiyun Palace.
However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the leader of Cuiyun Palace, was powerless to do anything about it and didn't even have the time to take another look.
Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi's suppression was comprehensive and left no loopholes.
Therefore, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could only watch as everyone in Cuiyun Palace was liquidated.
No, this is not a reckoning, but a war without distinction of right or wrong.
"Emperor, are you going to declare war on Buddhism?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke with difficulty, not because his emotions were fluctuating, a great Buddha would not be so lacking in concentration, but because he was under the suppression of the Mother Qi of the Earth, it was very difficult for him to speak.
What he said was very serious. Although he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hou Tu, if he really declared war on Buddhism, the consequences would be something Hou Tu would not be able to bear.
However, in response to this question from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji quickly responded.
It was also the first time she spoke to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Yes, a declaration of war."
These four cold words made Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva open his eyes wide.
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji acknowledged it!
God have mercy on me. When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this, he was more of an accusation and didn't expect to get a response at all.
But I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it.
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji is not only going to wage war against Cuiyun Palace, but is also going to declare war on Buddhism!
how can that be!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was in disbelief at first, but then he was shocked.
Because he suddenly remembered that what Hou Tu Huang Di Ji was mobilizing now was not the power and soldiers that belonged to her to rule over all the lands, but the power and soldiers of Fengdu!
As one of the Four Imperial Lords, how could he not establish his own government and power? How could he not have his own forces?
However, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji did not move, but instead mobilized Fengdu!
There is a lot to say here.
Not only Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, Fengdu also wants to declare war on Buddhism!
Behind Fengdu, there is not only the Emperor of Fengdu, but also...
Emperor Ziwei!
The leader of the Four Emperors, the Deputy Lord of Heaven, and one of the most powerful beings in the Three Realms!
The Emperor of Ziwei, the Emperor of Hou Tu, and the Emperor of Fengdu, three beings at the level of the Four Imperial Gods, reached a consensus and decided to declare war on Buddhism!
After coming to such a conclusion so easily, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt completely horrified.
No matter how high the Buddha's cultivation and state of mind are, his heart will be disturbed by this news.
'boom! ’
With his mind in great confusion, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Buddha light also began to fluctuate. The Buddha light, which was originally at a disadvantage, was now unstable, and it was even difficult for it to fight against Hou Tu Huang Di Ji.
Of course, the Earth Emperor would not miss such an opportunity, and the Mother Qi of the Earth quietly increased its strength.
‘Buzz! ! ! ’
The black-gold Buddha light collided violently with the mother energy of the earth, and the waves it emitted made all the ghosts and gods present stop.
Only a few Taiyi Golden Immortals at the peak of their powers, such as General Jiuyuan Shatong, could still barely move in this kind of fluctuation.
Even this is still thanks to the blessing of the gods of Fengdu.
So General Jiuyuan Shatong began to kill people.
Originally, there were two Taiyi Golden Immortal Buddhist cultivators in Cuiyun Palace, who were the left and right attendants of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. With their best efforts, they were barely able to stop General Jiuyuan Evil Boy.
But now, under the influence of that wave, these two great Buddhist masters at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm were beheaded by General Jiuyuan Evil Boy almost in the blink of an eye!
Under the influence of the Fengdu gods, the Taiyi Golden Immortal, who was already unable to remain perfect, was not difficult to kill.
As the disturbances subsided, the originally magnificent Cuiyun Palace completely turned into a battlefield of killing.
The smell of blood and ghosts was spreading wantonly. The ghosts and gods of Fengdu walked silently in Cuiyun Palace, groping every corner, looking for any fish that might have escaped the net.
Cuiyun Palace was completely wiped out.
No, to be precise, Cuiyun Palace, except for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, was completely wiped out.
It looks simple, but it is actually very difficult.
If Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi had not completely suppressed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, leaving the Buddha no chance to communicate, it would have been almost impossible to destroy Cuiyun Palace.
Perhaps the Emperor of Fengdu can also do it, but it won't be so easy. The sealing ability of the Mother Qi of the Earth is too strong.
Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi took a look at the battlefield below, then looked away. This result was not surprising and was completely within the plan.
If this could not be done, the ghosts and gods in Fengdu would have been suppressed by Cuiyun Palace long ago.
The Four Great Emperors all have their own troops, and among these, the Fengdu troops, which were supposed to be vassals of the Ziwei troops, are the most ferocious and evil.
Maybe not the best fighter, but definitely the most ruthless.
Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi understood this point deeply.
Now that the Fengdu ghosts and gods have won a great victory, the only thing left is...
Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi's gaze fell on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva again.
This most unique being among the Eight Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, who could be regarded as a great supernatural being of the Buddha, was being firmly suppressed at this moment. It could even be said that he had no power to fight back.
But it is almost impossible to kill a person with great supernatural powers.
Even Hou Tu, the emperor of the earth, can only suppress, ban or seriously injure.
But no matter which one it is, it is meaningless to the great master. The ban will be lifted sooner or later, and the recovery of injuries only takes time.
And time has no meaning to those with great supernatural powers.
Even if Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi "killed" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the conventional sense, and even destroyed the other party's cause and effect, as long as the other party is still a great supernatural being, then as long as there is still one person in the three realms calling the name of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he will be able to transcend time and cause and effect and come back again.
Those with great supernatural powers will not survive unless they endure countless calamities. This is the consensus of the three realms and no one can break it.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva obviously knew this, so when facing the suppression from Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, he did not do anything unnecessary.
Failure is inevitable, but it is just failure. For those with great supernatural powers, as long as they do not completely perish, everything else is acceptable.
As I said, time has no meaning to those with great supernatural powers.
And ninety-nine percent of things in this world can be restored or disappear under the influence of time.
But Hou Tu Huang Di Ji seemed to not understand this point. The Mother Earth Qi was madly spreading, reducing the power, status, and even cause and effect of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from every angle of time and space.
“It’s a futile effort.”
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression had returned to calm, and his aura was decreasing madly, almost falling below the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva remained calm.
As long as he is still Ksitigarbha, as long as he is still a person with great supernatural powers, everything else is just a trivial matter.
Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi did not respond, but continued with his actions.
It was as if she didn't know that this was a futile effort.
As time passed, the Mother Earth's Qi was still as majestic and aggressive as ever, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Qi was further declining.
He couldn't even maintain the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal and fell to the Golden Immortal realm.
This is already the limit. The Golden Immortals and the practitioners below them are on completely different levels. This is the law of nature.
The Golden Immortal already has a hint of charm that will last forever. Even if it is just a hint of charm given by the Heavenly Dao, it is not something that others can interfere with.
In other words, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi was at most temporary, suppressing and destroying Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Qi and strength to the Golden Immortal realm.
That's it.
No matter how much more there is, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji cannot do it.
This is totally meaningless.
At this moment, not only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was confused, but also General Jiuyuan Shatong who was watching the battle on the side was confused.
Even he could be killed by the current Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the blink of an eye.
But that does not mean killing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but rather helping him escape.
As for the reason, I have already mentioned it just now.
Those who have great supernatural powers will not survive unless they endure countless kalpas.
Apart from this, there is no way to kill a person with great supernatural powers.
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji looked at the extremely weak Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and waved his black sleeves.
General Jiuyuan Shatong only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses the next moment, there was no trace of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of him.
"Fengdu troops, clean up the battlefield, don't leave any trace!"
General Jiuyuan Shatong did not think too much about it. It was not his place to interfere with the Emperor's actions. He just needed to do his own job.
…………
Time goes forward a little bit.
The northernmost part of Fengdu City.
Under the tombstone engraved with "Tomb of Jiang Xuanying".
The small mound of grave was bulging slightly, as if something was about to emerge from underneath.
The agitation started out weak, then became intense and frequent, and eventually...
'boom! ’
A large piece of the underworld was blown away, and a huge, pitch-black coffin board was mixed in the flying underworld. It was thrown into the air, then drew a clear parabola and fell to the ground.
The original grave mound was replaced by a large pit.
The next moment, a hand appeared at the edge of the pit. The hand grabbed the edge of the coffin lid and stood up from the coffin.
Jiang Lin was naked, looking down at his hands thoughtfully.
“Is this the Golden Immortal Realm?”
He closed his eyes and looked inward. The magic power that was originally almost liquid and spread throughout the meridians of his body was now completely concentrated in his dantian.
The magic power has been condensed to the extreme. It is no longer in a liquid state, but a completely liquid state.
Like a lead pump, it flows within the Dantian.
Jiang Lin's mind moved, and the magic power that had been deposited in his dantian spread throughout his meridians almost instantly.
He closed his eyes and quietly felt the great power of the Golden Immortal that belonged to him.
"Now, it would be effortless for me to beat the previous ten."
Jiang Lin muttered to himself, roughly assessing his current strength.
The changes are not only in the Dantian and the physical body, but more in the Yuanshen.
However, just as Jiang Lin closed his eyes and prepared to see the changes in his soul, he looked towards the front not far away as if he sensed something.
There was originally nothing there, but when Jiang Lin looked over, there was a figure.
No, two.
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, dressed in a gorgeous black dress, stood there quietly, with her left hand suspended in the air. Streams of mother earth energy were flowing under her left hand like a cocoon.
Jiang Lin didn't even dare to look at the Mother Earth Qi of this level for any longer, for fear that he would be assimilated if he looked any longer.
And in the cocoon condensed by the mother energy of the earth, there was a blurry shadow, which Jiang Lin could not see clearly no matter what.
"Emperor."
Jiang Lin immediately condensed his magic power, covering himself and hiding his body.
Then, he bowed with some doubt and asked, "What are you doing?"
"This is one of the people behind the Hungry Ghost Realm incident."
Hou Tu Huang Di Ji pointed to the Mother Earth Qi cocoon in his hand and said softly: "You come to kill him, but after killing him, there will be a lot of trouble. If you don't do it, there will be no problem."
"The choice is yours."
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, but then he blinked and asked, "Emperor, are you sure I can kill this man?"
He put emphasis on the word 'kill'.
Although we don't know who is in the hands of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, since he is one of the masterminds behind the hungry ghost incident, it proves at least two points.
First, this is an extremely powerful being, far beyond Jiang Lin’s imagination.
Second, it is definitely related to Buddhism.
I think this is also the trouble that Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi mentioned.
But Jiang Lin didn't care about this. He just stared at Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, waiting for the answer he wanted.
Then the Earth Emperor nodded slightly.
'Zheng! '
The next moment, Jiang Lin took action almost without hesitation.
The Corpse Dog Flying Sword turned into a beam of sword light and pierced straight through the cocoon of the Mother Qi of the Earth.
