Chapter 368: Chapter 88: Mokka Jia Ye Descends!
This Buddhist chant not only echoed throughout County City in Fengzhou, but also resonated through the entire Da Qi, rapidly spreading far and wide.
In an instant, in ces like Bei Zhou, the Great Wilderness Prairie, Southern Jin, the Barren God Mountains, the Eastern Sea, and many other barely trodden, unknowablends, this Buddhist chant could be heard.
Boundless Buddha light illuminated the whole world, and the fundamental dao of heaven and earth began to show signs of distortion and change, as if a new grand dao was forcefully inserting itself into existence.
The true descent of Mokkal Jia Ye had truly begun!
At the same time, atop the twelve pirs of light, numerous golden swastika characters appeared, flickering on and off, dazzlingly bright, grinding and drawing out the primordial spirits and power of the Celestial Men trapped within as a sacrifice.
The primordial spirit of Yan Shouyi, materialized into a towering giant, immediately stretched out a hand and turned his finger into a de that shed towards the twelve pirs of light, attempting to rescue the twelve Celestial Men imprisoned inside.
Yet the moment he made his move, the light formation that had transformed into a human shape also acted, lifting a hand and pointing at the towering giant, which instantly set off ripples that spread out.
The void in this region had already copsed into nothingness during the previous battle, but as the ripples spread,yers uponyers of space were imagined into existence, piling up before the towering giant.
This interposed an endless, insurmountable distance between the de of Yan Shouyi’s materialized primordial spirit and the twelve pirs of light, making his strike unable to reach the pirs.<div>
Ordinarily, with the might of Yan Shouyi’s primordial spirit, such a strike could instantaneously withstand distances of millions of miles, and attacking tens of millions of miles away would be easily achievable.
But now, the distance between him and the pirs of light seemed like countless light-years, an expanse that could never be crossed, no matter what.
Consequently, the twin eyes of Yan Shouyi’s primordial spirit suddenly zed with radiance, and the Tai Chi Diagram at his back rotated rapidly once again, as an enormous surge of light made up of Yin Yang Qi rushed forward, violently breaking into the endless void that had been imagined in front of him.
Soon thereafter, the forces of Yin and Yang intertwined and fused together, forming a primordial chaos upon the foundation of the imagined void, establishing a true material existence and starting to disintegrate the imagined space from within.
“Reality” began to devour “illusion.”
In the blink of an eye, the boundless distance of that imaginary void, like a “dam,” was breached by the true “tidal wave” of Yin Yang Qi, and Yan Shouyi’s de finally made contact with the nearest pir of light.
However, the moment he touched the pir, the countless swastika characters upon it immediately converged, forming a massive swastika character and unfolding a golden light barrier that blocked Yan Shouyi from advancing.
In the next moment, though, a Giant Sword capable of dividing Yin from Yang and separating primordial chaos from the rest of existence descended, easily destroying one swastika character after another, reducing them back into numerous small swastika characters.
At the same time, all twelve pirs of light developed dense cracks, and through these fissures, different daoist principles shone from within the Celestial Men, impacting the pirs, as they were about to free themselves.
“Child’s y!” The human-shaped light formation scoffed coldly, while turning to “look” towards the twelve pirs of light.
Yet with just that “look,” the various daoist principles ceased their release and quickly retracted back into the pirs, seemingly forced back in by an overwhelming, invisible might.
It seemed as if the “gaze” of the human-shaped light formation controlled these daoist principles,pelling them to retreat.
Yan Shouyi’s rescue attempt, and the struggles of the twelve Celestial Men, thus ended in vain,pletely ineffective.
Hiss!
Within County City of Fengzhou, countless Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath, their gazes towards the sky filled with shock and a numbing awe.
These were Celestial Men! Thirteen Celestial Menbined forces and yet could not ovee a single “nce” from this human-shaped light formation?
Far too strong!
It was a power so unimaginable, so incredible.
The might and divine skills wielded by this Tao Lord who had cultivated the Dream-Weaving dao seed, had surpassed any limits achievable by Celestial Men, and those below the realm of Celestial Men, Martial Artists, couldn’t evenprehend how such power was possible.
Terror such as this!
Yet just at this moment, He Mengqiu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face as she smiled, “The opportunity has arrived! Mister Zhou, there’s no need for you to take action. I have already discussed the perfect timing to strike with your senior brother and the other Celestial Men.”
“What?” Zhou Heng eximed in astonishment upon hearing this.
In fact, he too had been looking for the right moment to intervene.
After all, although he now possessed a number of powerful methods, if no one restrained the mysterious Tao Lord, even if he carried them out, they might fail and additionally alert the enemy.
What he didn’t expect was that He Mengqiu seemed to have already conspired in secret with Yan Shouyi and many other Celestial Men… However, how did she manage it? To pull off such a feat right under the nose of the Tao Lord.
A doubt surfaced in Zhou Heng’s mind.
At this thought, he suddenly remembered back in Fengzhou County City, when dealing with Yu Long the Loose Immortal, He Mengqiu seemed to have used a simr method. She created a dream realm out of thin air to connect everyone’s consciousness, discussing the battle strategy without anyone else being the wiser.
It seemed that He Mengqiu was employing the same old tricks.
Of course, on a higher level, there must have been a significant improvement, perhaps with the aid of some powerful Divine Artifact; otherwise, it would not have been possible to deceive the Tao Lord who had mastered the Dream Weaving Tao Seeds.
However, Zhou Heng did not delve into this too deeply, as his curiosity was only mild.
At this time, his attention was still focused on two things: striking down this Dream Weaving Tao Lord and thwarting the descent of Moksha Jia Ye.
Zhou Heng nced at He Mengqiu, who had be ethereal, as if she had sunk into a dreamscape, then looked up at the sky and thought to himself, “If your opportunity has arrived, then mine can’t be far off.”
What he needed was for someone to hold back the Dream Weaving Tao Lord, preventing his escape.
Whoosh!
Just then, a giant curtain of light suddenly descended from the chaotic firmament above, like a silver-white light veil, falling upon Yan Shouyi, who had transformed into a giant that propped up the sky.@@novelbin@@
Immediately, with a sh of light, the silver-white veil turned into a cloak, draping over the colossal giant.
At the same time, a profound and obscure aura that seemed to exist at the border between reality and illusion spread out, seemingly affecting the Laws of the universe, modifying some of them.
These modifications, to those below the level of Celestial Men, might as well not exist; they had no perception of them whatsoever.
But the moment the cloak solidified, the humanoid ball of light trembled violently.
And then, the light around him shattered into countless fragments, copsing like a pile of sand poured out.
Within the blink of an eye, the external glow around this Dream Weaving Tao Lord was gone, and his true appearance was revealed to the countless onlookers.
This was a monk who looked no older than twenty, with lips red and teeth white, as delicate as a woman. He was dressed in a monk’s robe as pristine as snow, fingering Buddha Beads, with Buddha light enveloping his entire being.
Suddenly, there was silence between heaven and earth.
Some recognized the identity of this young monk and cried out in shock.
“It is, it is actually Yu Xinzi! The legendary first disciple of the Dream Saint!”
“After the Dream Saint’s passing, Yu Xinzi disappeared without a trace, and only portraits of him remained; he has actually be a Tao Lord!”
“As the Dream Saint’s chief disciple, why would Yu Xinzi summon an Evil God?”
Many learned people were filled with shock and doubt, even starting to question whether they were experiencing an illusion.
“`
After all, in many legends, this chief disciple of the Dream Saint was born with a heart ofpassion and always behaved kindly towards others, never harming any sentient beings, just like a living Buddha.
However, the current Yuxinzi’s face bore no trace of benevolence, but was instead filled with gloom and fury, as if he were a corrupted demon, his entire being exuding a negative and extremely oppressive aura.
The cloak that had just appeared hadn’tunched an attack against him, yet its mere materialization had altered the very Tao of this void, injuring him severely in an instant.
It was a unique divine weapon that did not require the user’s cultivation realm, and it was particrly effective against the Dream-weaving Tao kind.
“Yuchen Lian Dao Sha! The personal treasure of our master, it really was given to you, Junior Sister!” Yuxinzi roared in rage, his Taoist power boiling over to the point where heaven and earth trembled, mountains and rivers a thousand miles away shook, and great rivers and oceans boiled!
If one stood in the void outside of this world at this time, they could even see the Xuanhuang Qi wrapping this world roiling violently, as if it were being stirred by an immense force.
At the same time, the barriers previously set by Ziwei Zuoyuan and Ziwei Youyuan through Ziwei Heavenly Forbiddance instantly shattered.
An endless amount of Taoist power was released from Yuxinzi, instantly enveloping millions of miles of Da Qi’s territory.
He wanted to turn the entire Da Qi into a fantasy, into an illusionary existence!
But at that moment, the Tai Chi Diagram behind Yan Shouyi began to spin rapidly again, and the Yin Yang Qi manifested.
With the power of “Yuchen Lian Dao Sha,” the solid Yin Yang true intent seemed to be the fundamental basis for the existence of myriadws, myriad paths, myriad affairs, and myriad things, and it quickly spread, forcing back the dream realm powers the novice monk had spread.
Under the cover of such “real” power, the might of the dream realm powers used by Yuxinzi was greatly reduced, but after all, he was a Tao Lord. Even though he had suffered severe injuries and was restrained by a unique divine weapon, he was still not at a disadvantage!
The surging Taoist power was torrential, attempting to suppress Yan Shouyi’s counterattack, but with the Tai Chi Force on Yan Shouyi’s side amplified by “Yuchen Lian Dao Sha,” it also held great might.
The two were evenly matched and thus at a deadlock.
For Zhou Heng, this should have been an excellent opportunity to make a move.
However, above that sky, Moksha Jia Ye was still descending; the chant of Zen Buddhism continued to echo through the universe, and the Buddha light still shone on the human world, growingrger and brighter!
The celestial aura within the twelve pirs of light also began to flicker, clearly having been drained of much power and close to failing to hold.
In such a situation, even if they managed to crack these pirs of light again, they would not be able to use their Taoist power to strike at the restraints and attempt escape as before.
“Stubborn in the face of defeat, obstinately ignorant, what use is there in stopping me, even if you manage it?! Hahaha!” Yuxinziughed heartily, loudly dering, “Just wait for Jia Ye to descend, and I shall use it to break through the Tao kind and realize the Tao fruit, bing a Divine First Rank!”
“Hmmph!” Yan Shouyi snorted coldly, raising his hand to wield the Pure Sky True Sun Sword again,unching an attack at Yuxinzi, but this still could only further suppress him, unable to crush himpletely.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly resonated through heaven and earth, and a Buddha light rose from the south out of nowhere.
Immediately after, myriad golden lotuses bloomed, paving a path of golden light across the sky, as a monk with a rather plump figure andpassionate face approached from the south, walking on air.
“Monk Du Hong! The Second Rank Taoist master from Jia Ye Temple of Southern Jin!”
“Why has hee here? Could it be that Yuxinzi called for his assistance? But why would such a Tao Lord level existence take action?”
“Isn’t Yuxinzi also making a move? I want to know why there is no Divine First Rank from Pure Yang Pce to stop this?”
“What on earth is going on, what has happened?”
The celestial beings from all over Da Qimunicated with each other using their divine sense, all in utter amazement.
“`
After the Heavenly Forbiddance of Ziwei had been broken, they all became aware of the situation in Fengzhou and intended to help, but upon seeing the unrivaled might of the figure known as Yu Xinzi, they hesitated… and could only watch from a distance, looking for an opportunity.
When Yan Shouyi saw Monk Du Hong approaching, his expression immediately turned as somber as water, and he was extremely cautious. He had shed with Monk Du Hong’s incarnation in Yuzhou and knew well the old monk’s formidable strength and unfathomable skill in the Tao.
He Mengqiu, who had originally been controlling the “Jade Dust Refining Tao Screen” from the shadows, was also greatly shocked. Seeing Monk Du Hong suddenly appearing in the sky, she couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked.
With a Yu Xinzi already forcing everyone to their limits, adding Monk Du Hong to the mix meant there was not the slightest hope left.
However, after Monk Du Hong arrived above the skies of Fengzhou County City, he did not strike at Yan Shouyi. Instead, he brought his hands together in prayer, bowed slightly to the twelve beams of light, opened his mouth wide, and took a fierce breath.
In an instant, the twelve rays of Buddha’s light that seemed to descend from an infinite height, along with countless “卍” characters, were engulfed like dust in a storm, streaming into Monk Du Hong’s mouth and swallowed into his belly.
The twelve Celestial Men, who had been trapped and restricted by these pirs of light, were finally freed, but it was clear that they were all very weak, with the aura of their Taoist energy greatly diminished.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present.
Even Yu Xinzi showed a face full of astonishment, disbelievingly staring at Monk Du Hong, and shouted angrily, “Do you know who you are preventing from descending? This is your founding ancestor, did you cast down a projection especially to do this?”
“Bullshit ancestor!” Monk Du Hong suddenly sneered and, at the same time, raised his fist, throwing a punch that seemed tock any divine anomaly or even a trace of light.
Boom!
This punchnded squarely on Yu Xinzi’s face, devoid of any shyws, just the purest form of strength, instantly deforming Yu Xinzi’s iparably handsome face.
He wasn’t the real Monk Du Hong, just a projection, summoned by Zhou Heng using a “Monk Du Hong Incarnation Projection Card”.
“Impudence!”
But at this moment, a clear shout came through, and the movements of Monk Du Hong’s projection immediately stalled, unable to move.
Everyone looked up in shock.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure of Buddha had condensed in the sky above. He sat upon a lotus dais, hands holding a fresh flower and a smile on his face, exuding an aura of sanctity.
It was Mokgalyayana!
The legendary disciple of Buddha!
He had descended!
Once the descent of the Evil God began, the Evil God would indeed descend; the only differencey in the extent of the power that came through!
Mokgalyayana had finally arrived, at least partially!
Such an oue made all the Celestial Men and Great Grandmasters feel a chill to their very core, as though their bodies had gonepletely stiff and frigid.
What are we to do?
Will the world have to contend with a new Evil God?
At this time, behind Fengzhou County City, Zhou Heng stood solemnly with his palm outstretched.
In the center of his palm,
there spun a small, exquisite golden seal, radiating light.
