Chapter 1026: Chapter 829 What Is There To Fear_2

Li Xuan temporarily put away the "Tianji Dihe Yin-Yang Knife", and instead, with his own Dragon Qi and Divine Power, he manipulated the power of the "Book of Jinque" and pointed at the Changsheng Emperor of the South from afar.

"Heavenly Law! Those who violate the decrees of heaven must be captured and brought to justice!"

The Changsheng Emperor of the South suddenly froze in place, feeling not only her limbs and body bound by a force, but all her Zhenyuan Mana, and even every bit of her flesh, were shackled and entrapped layer upon layer.

Moreover, all the laws related to bondage exerted outside her body, every Rule of Extreme Heaven, had their power greatly enhanced.

Like the "Huntian Chain" controlled by Fu Youde, the shackles it possessed had their sealing power strengthened to levels close to the power of Holy Heaven.

The pupils of the Changsheng Emperor of the South constricted slightly, revealing a hint of wariness deep in her eyes.

The "Book of Jinque," which gathered nearly half of the essence of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Human, was an existence with strength close to the "Tai Chi Diagram" and the "Pangu Banner," even superior to the Three Books.

It was precisely this item, combined with the "First Emperor’s Seal," that prevented them, the Emperors of the Heavens, from stepping into the mortal realm for thousands of years.

Fortunately, the "Book of Jinque" had not been fully unsealed at this time, and its power was still limited.

Changsheng Emperor of the South let out a cold laugh, beginning to shatter the power of the Heavenly Law with the Power of Thunder.

The so-called "Thunderbolt" is not just lightning; it is the fundamental divine Qi of heaven, earth, and the human body. It is an incarnation of the Tao, capable of mediating creation, reversing Yin and Yang, and transforming endlessly, therefore, it is the foremost among the myriad Taoist laws, the supreme of all forces.

Thus, even the Heavenly Law of the Holy Heaven level finds it difficult to bind it.

Changsheng Emperor of the South estimated that she was only about thirty li from Xi’an City, and she believed that her strength would be enough to allow her a safe escape.

But just then, her expression changed slightly.

Because a jade hand suddenly forcibly penetrated her chest and abdomen.

It was none other than Dasiming, whom she held in her hand, with no light in his eyes, no focus at all.

"Heavenly Law, bind!"

In coordination with the "Book of Jinque," he used the force of the Heavenly Law to bind the Changsheng Emperor of the South’s Mana, Yuan Qi, Rule, flesh, True Spirit, and even her "Liangyi Zaohua Diagram."

"You?"

The Changsheng Emperor of the South’s eyes widened in fury, staring in disbelief at Dasiming.

She could not fathom any reason for the master of the Jinque Palace to betray her and assist Li Xuan.

But she soon realized something, her complexion turning pale.

"Rule of Taichu?"

Clearly, someone had tampered with the very fundament of Dasiming’s True Spirit, yet left Dasiming himself completely unaware.

And in that moment, the two beams of golden-purple light struck again.

But now, with the Changsheng Emperor of the South’s Taiji dual energies in chaos, her body was pierced once more, leaving two more holes.

This time, however, the Changsheng Emperor of the South could not dissolve them with the methods of Thunder and Yin and Yang.

The golden-purple lights then precisely blasted open her third eye and the back of her head, severely damaging the true spirit of the Changsheng Emperor of the South.

Following soon after were the enveloping "Liuhe Zhuxian Sword Diagram," which directly captured both the true spirit and the body of the Changsheng Emperor of the South.

Li Xuan’s Haotian Seal and the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron pressed down afterward, sealing and locking her in place.

At this moment, with the power of Buddhism at his disposal, it would be easy for him to kill the Changsheng Emperor of the South.

But Li Xuan had great use for the Changsheng Emperor’s flesh and true spirit, intending to refine her slowly within the "Liuhe Zhuxian Sword Diagram."

It was not until now that Dasiming regained a trace of consciousness.

Her complexion immediately turned pale as paper, devoid of any color, while her eyes looked at Li Xuan, full of confusion and bewilderment.

"The battle at Podi Mountain?"

She could not understand why she would act against the Changsheng Emperor of the South or how Li Xuan had managed to interfere with her Yuanling.

The only event Dasiming could suspect was the battle at Podi Mountain in MoBei.

But Dasiming found that there were huge gaps in her memory, still unaware of what had happened then.

Li Xuan’s lips curved slightly upward: "After the Princess has received the punishment of the Heavenly Law, it won’t be too late for me to explain to you."

At this moment, his Dragon Qi surged again, responding to the "Book of Jinque" from afar.

Li Xuan’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Since the thirteenth year of Jingtai, Your Highness the Princess has repeatedly violated the Heavenly Law and committed offenses against the Heavenly Decrees, even going so far as to seal the Book of Jinque to evade punishment. She is, in essence, a law enforcer breaking the law, acting willfully on the strength of her position, heavily laden with sin. What qualifications does she still have to supervise Heaven and Earth or to oversee the gods?"

Heavenly Law! Strip!

In that instant, he forcibly stripped away the divine duties and authority over the ’Book of Jinque’ that were bestowed upon Dasiming.

A look of boundless anguish instantly crossed Dasiming’s face.

"How dare you?" Dasiming’s eyes widened in furious disbelief, staring at Li Xuan intently, "Are you not afraid that it will end up with us perishing together, both loss and gain scorched?"

Li Xuan couldn’t help but let out a wry smile, "Perishing together? Is Dasiming referring to the contingency you and the Changsheng Emperor of the South planted within Xi’an City? Those twenty-three Annihilation Cores indeed have the power to obliterate millions of civilians and the army of The Court in Xi’an City in an instant, and to use their lives as a toll to further open the Yuanfeng passage, allowing the true body of the Changsheng Emperor of the South to descend to this world."

He reached out his hand and summoned a splendidly golden book directly from Dasiming’s chest, grasping it in his hand.

This object was one of the copies of the Book of Jinque. The moment Li Xuan took hold of it, he felt his control over ’Heavenly Law’ and ’Cause and Effect’ further strengthen.

At the same time, Li Xuan shook his head slightly, "But knowing this, how could I be unprepared? What do I have to fear now?"

With the Book of Jinque and the Qianqiu Brush in his possession, he no longer feared any Emperor, even in the Outer Void.

Not even the Fighting Buddha, reputed for unparalleled aggression, nor the Changsheng Emperor of the South, known for unparalleled defense—

Meanwhile, in the Outer Taixu, in the Pure and Majestic World,

Avalokitesvara, with a face as serene as the full moon and a dignified presence, sat on the Liantai, unable to suppress a long, deep sigh.

"What a formidable Xuanhuang! Worthy of being the greatest variable in this realm, truly remarkable."

Below her Liantai sat boys and girls dressed as disciples.

The boy was Shancai Tongzi, said to be one of the five hundred sons of the wealthy lord of the city of Fu. Treasures naturally sprung forth at his birth, hence his name ’Shancai.’

The girl was the princess of the Sahajara Dragon King, known as the Dragon Maiden.

The Sahajara Dragon King descended from Shendu, but the dragons of Shendu and those of the Central Plains were not the same. They were called ’Naga’—creatures with the bodies of snakes and human heads, possessing strength equal to that of dragons.

At this moment, the Dragon Maiden spoke with a complex expression, "Actually, had we given our all just now, we might have had a chance."

The Xuanhuang Emperor not only advocated Destroying Buddha but also played the entirety of Buddhism like a clapping game.

In the end, they had no choice but to follow the will of the Xuanhuang Emperor, which left the Dragon Maiden feeling frustrated and unable to vent her feelings.

Shancai Tongzi, however, saw things more positively, "Junior sister speaks amiss. The Xuanhuang Emperor prepared thoroughly, with layers of contingencies in place. Even if we fought, we could only repulse him and would have to pay too great a price. Why bother?"

"You might feel aggrieved, junior sister, but we, having been expelled from the territory of Shendu and the Six Desire Heavens, cannot return home. That is the true hardship."

He thought that the Xuanhuang Emperor’s move to Destroy Buddha, though it had swept away the face of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, was fundamentally harmless to them, perhaps even beneficial.

What they sought was not the wealth of believers but the incense of faith and vows.

Hence, there is a fundamental conflict between the Buddhas and the bhiksus in the mortal realm, yet they must rely on their power.

Therefore, this might not be such a bad thing—

Avalokitesvara also smiled and shook her head, "We who practice spirituality must not be blinded by ignorance or anger to see the root of all."

Deep within her heart, she harbored a hint of anticipation.

Just now, if there had been even a thirty percent chance that the Changsheng Emperor of the South and Randeng Buddha’s True Spirits could escape the mortal realm, Avalokitesvara wouldn’t have taken the verbal agreement they’d made with Li Xuan before the New Year seriously.

However, the prowess and strength Li Xuan displayed today gave Avalokitesvara a glimpse of opportunity.

"What is the root of all?"

Shancai Tongzi playfully explained to the Dragon Maiden, "The root is that both the present Buddha and the Future Buddha desire to use the power of this Emperor to return to Shendu and even contend with the Heavenly Lord in the Western Region."

"Not so,"

Avalokitesvara shook her head slightly, "Maitreya Buddha sees into the future, and among all the Buddhas, Maitreya is the most determined to cooperate with Li Xuan. If we cannot comprehend his will, I fear a division in our Buddhism is imminent."

"The Future Buddha?"

The Dragon Maiden pondered, "But what about Randeng Buddha? Having lost his True Spirit twice in three years, his cultivation might fall from the Buddha’s office. How shall we explain it to him?"

Just then, she saw a fiery figure, burning with anger, bursting into the Pure and Majestic World.
