Chapter 325: The Gate to the Underworld
The gate to the underworld is about ten feet high and five feet wide.
Its lower part is rectangular, and its upper part is in the shape of an arc, with something that looks like a roulette wheel embedded in the center.
Its overall tone is gray, with an evil beast guarding the gate to the underworld on each side. It looks like a dog but not a dog, and like a cow but not a cow. It is difficult to describe specifically which animal it is most similar to. It seems more like a mixture of the characteristics of multiple animals.
The tightly closed door was engraved with intricate and delicate patterns, but at the moment they were blurry and difficult to see clearly.
The gate to the underworld appeared behind Qingxuandeng, taking back the remaining dark death energy in Qingxuandeng's body and helping Qingxuandeng take the final step between life and death.
The first step for a dead creature to be reborn is to get rid of the dark and dead energy produced by death in his body. The second step is to awaken consciousness, and the third step is to merge with the present world and live a second life.
Pinggong Qianye guessed that after the death of Qingxuande, he once tried to use the help of the gate to the underworld to transcend life and death, but he was not completely successful. Instead, he was divided into two parts, and it was not until today that he was fully integrated.
The gate to the underworld is not omnipotent, but it can indeed communicate between life and death.
And that was the ability he needed.
If there really is a world of the dead where the souls of the dead linger and wander around, then once it is opened, it may be possible to summon back the souls that have not yet been reincarnated through the use of necromancy.
Reincarnation... This term is not accurate. Although the gate to the underworld really exists and can bring Qingxuande back to life, it is different from reincarnation.
Moreover, Qingxuande's resurrection does not constitute reincarnation.
She is still the same person, but she has lost her past memories and is starting over like a blank sheet of paper.
To be more precise, the Qingxuande of the past was never completely dead.
She was only split into two parts when she suffered an irreparable blow, and has only been fully restored today.
Legends cannot be fully trusted. For the Onmyoji Abe Haruaki, Aoandon can only fall, but what the actual situation is, only the parties involved know.
“He is looking here again!”
When the gate to the underworld gradually appeared, the Snow Goddess stared into the distance with a wary expression, and her prying gaze became more and more naked.
He was looking at this place greedily at the moment, and the Vajra Mandala on the periphery did not block His sight.
Pinggong Chiye just nodded, signaling the Snow Girl to take good care of the Qingxuande, while he would deal with the malicious person in the distance.
The Vajra Realm Mandala is still there, and Vairocana Tathagata has also appeared, enough to block the prying eyes.
"receive!"
The terrifying magical power in Pinggong Qianye's body flowed with a rumbling sound, pulling the Buddha fire inside the entire Vajra Realm Mandala and merging it into the Vairocana Tathagata.
The raging Buddha fire within the Vajra Realm Mandala faded away, leaving only a more majestic, wrathful Vairocana Tathagata standing across the sky.
Vairocana Tathagata opened his eyes and looked into the distance, like two beams of light, dispelling the prying gaze.
"Oh no! The gate to the underworld is about to open!"
At this moment, the gate to the underworld behind Qing Xingdeng trembled slightly and opened a crack slightly.
The breath of the world of death is emanating from within!
The Snow Girl manipulated the flying snow, turning it into ice, in an attempt to seal the gate to the underworld which had already opened a small hole.
But the ice only lasted for a few seconds before melting into black ash.
Seeing that her own ice could not prevent the gate to the underworld from opening, the Snow Girl revealed her most primitive form as a monster.
His body expanded rapidly, becoming more than three meters tall, his entire body was snow-white, his eyes were azure blue, and he looked like a giant ice sculpture, with his long hair frozen into icicles.
Even an 8-foot-tall Hachishaku-sama would have to hold his head high and look up in front of her.
There was a strong wind beneath her feet, a field of ice and snow behind her, and whistling snow above her head.
The entire Mount Fuji began to tremble as the Snow Girl revealed her true form. All the ice and snow around it gathered together, like an extremely dark blue glacier.
Under the control of the Snow Girl, the glacier stuck tightly to the gap of the gate to the underworld, and at the same time completely froze the entire gate to the underworld.
Qingxuandeng, who was fusing his two bodies, had his clothes, long hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. covered with a layer of silver frost. In the distance, the dark clouds smelled the breath of death from the opening of the gate to the underworld and began to spread from the top of the mountain.
There were roars of thunder in the sky and the sky suddenly darkened, as if warning the world that something unacceptable to the world was being born.
The wind, the black wind, howled and raged, and the air was filled with the smell of death.
There is great terror between life and death.
When the gate to the underworld, which symbolizes the world of death, appears, it will attract the most terrifying demons.
Pinggong Qianye saw it very clearly. The black cloud rolling in from the sky was actually a bunch of demons. The black gale was also a demon. There were also many demons coming quietly along with the flying snow.
The Vairocana Tathagata, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, just made a wisdom fist seal with his hands and punched out, and all the demons in the sky were scattered.
Along with the incoming black clouds, a huge hole was also pierced through.
The real danger lies in the distance.
When Vairocana Tathagata formed the fist seal of wisdom, the terrifying existence hiding in the darkness finally made a move.
He actually controlled a gust of wind through the air, sweeping across the ground and shaking out many of the formation's eye stones that Pinggong Qianye had buried in the ground.
The figure of Vairocana Tathagata dimmed in an instant.
Outside the ice lake, everyone who saw this change also figured out how to break the formation.
They took advantage of the fact that the light of Vairocana Tathagata was dim and unable to protect, and stepped forward, using various means to dig the ground, dug out the stones that represented the center of the formation, and shattered them.
"stop!"
When Akechi Mitsuhide and others saw this, they rushed forward to stop it, but just a few of them were unable to stop so many people present.
The stones representing the core of the formation were shattered one after another, and the figure of Vairocana Tathagata in the void became dimmer and dimmer. His right hand passed over his shoulder and stretched to his back, as if he was drawing out a sword to subdue demons.
He exerted his last bit of strength and slashed down at the black clouds that were regrouping in the sky.
The golden sword light streaked across the black cloud, splitting it in two.
At the same time, the demons hiding in the black clouds were also divided into two.
Their corpses kept falling from the separating black clouds, like a heavy black rain.
"Ugh."
The Rain Girl sighed as she watched this scene. She spun the red paper umbrella in her hand and took in the bodies of the demons.
For her, so many demon bodies are her spiritual nourishment. Once refined, her cultivation will be accelerated.
Demons can devour each other.
The path of cultivation she took was not as pure as that of the Snow Girl, but bloody and dark.
At the same time as her, there were also some powerful hidden demons.
They did not have the courage to be an enemy of Master Liansheng, but they had the courage to collect corpses, and it was very courageous.
Some demons even set their sights on the Rain Girl, who was closer to Mount Fuji and received more corpses of demons.
Yu Nu looked around coldly, murderous intent rising in her heart.
Now that the gate to the underworld has appeared, let there be more killing and death!
"Master Liansheng!"
"There is also the great monster Qingxuande!"
"The gate to the underworld has also appeared!"
On the other side, the people who broke through the Vajra Realm Mandala finally arrived at the lake.
