Chapter 186 Northern Emperor Eliminating Demons

The name of the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, appeared in the Prince of Lu's eyes, and a chill immediately rushed out from the top of his head!

"The Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, is transformed from the Xuan Yuan dual energies, governs the thirty-two heavens, and manages the registers of all the heavens. Even the Heavenly Emperor must bow his head, and all the myriad gods of the world must come to pay respects. All ghosts and thousands of gods tremble in fear...."

"This Prince has such great prestige that I can actually cause this one to descend!"

The master of all the Heavenly Demon Kings descended personally, bringing with him the five Great Heavenly Demons. This was definitely not just because the Black Heavenly Demon King's demon trial had failed!

At this moment, within the Demon King's Dharma Realm, waves of floating Li radiance emerged from the dark void. The first to appear were four gilded characters, blooming with billions of rays of light in the dim Demon King's Dharma Realm!

*Da Mo Hei Lü* (Grand Demon Black Laws)!

This was the divine law practiced by the Demon Kings, and it could not be learned by ordinary cultivators. Furthermore, most of it consisted of laws and regulations. Only with the body of the thirty-eight thousand Heavenly Demons could one glimpse the lesser paths from within the laws, and then cultivate towards becoming a Demon King.

However, since ancient times, almost no one had cultivated to become a Demon King. The Five Heavens and Eight Emperors, the Three Heavens and Six Caves Demon Kings were all innate, their divine positions predetermined. Acquired Heavenly Demons almost never achieved Demon King status!

At this moment, beneath the Black Laws, the floating Li radiance gradually coalesced into words!

"Since you have registered your name in the Heavenly Court, and your name is on the Immortal Rank, you must not chant Buddhist scriptures or demonic teachings, nor must you propagate false and inauspicious texts! Paying respects to释 (Shì, Buddhist) monks, venerating gods and praying to ghosts, inciting the common people, causing the four classes of people in the country to lose their livelihoods, and being deluded by wicked winds is forbidden. Those who violate this decree shall be stripped of their duties and have their names removed by the Heavenly Emperor's decree. After death, they shall enter Fengdu and fall into the role of a *chang* ghost, forever losing their human form!"

The Prince of Lu was shocked: "Northern Emperor's Black Laws? But I am not a cultivator of the Northern Emperor's arts, so why..."

Rumble!

Suddenly, thunder rumbled, and the stars in the dim demon realm revolved. Two more words appeared beneath the Great Demon Black Laws, namely "Heavenly Laws"!

The Prince of Lu was struck dumb, instantly understanding everything!

If a problem arose during the demon trial, it would attract the attention of the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator. The current situation was governed by the "Great Demon Black Laws" rather than the "Northern Emperor's Black Laws"!

The Northern Emperor's Black Laws were aimed at cultivators who studied the Northern Emperor's techniques.

And the Great Demon Black Laws were only aimed at those who cheated during the demon trial!

The Prince of Lu dared not speak. At this moment, the three great forces of heaven and earth that had been protecting him had disappeared. How could he dare to face the test of the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator? He turned a black pill in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp. In an instant, the light of the Fire Bodhi (fire-attribute enlightenment) blazed on his body!

The power of the Vajra Exorcist appeared from the void!

"The Fire Bodhi, which I had originally suppressed, I thought I could abandon it forever. I never expected that at this dangerous moment, I would have to rely on the curse of the Vajra Exorcist to escape!"

The Prince of Lu's internal organs were burned by flames, but he dared not use the thousand forms of nature to resolve this pain. At this moment, he screamed and wailed. And the curse of the Vajra Exorcist was to interfere with the Prince of Lu's ascension to immortality. But now, not only was there no hope of ascension, but he also had to face the test of the ancestor of all demons. The Prince of Lu naturally had no choice but to lift the suppression of the Fire Bodhi, using this self-destructive method to escape the Demon King's Dharma Realm!

"The art of poisoning that was inflicted upon me has now become my lifesaver! Being poisoned by the power of the Vajra Exorcist only means that I cannot become an immortal. I only need to eat pills made from the hearts of young boys to maintain a good state. But if I am captured by the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, I will truly fall into Fengdu and be transformed into a *chang* ghost!"

The Black Heavenly Demon King's Dharma Realm was violently torn apart by the power of the Vajra Exorcist!

The blazing Buddhist fire released by the Fire Bodhi illuminated three thousand worlds, able to transform the filthy earth into pure land. This fire of wisdom was the source of power for the Buddhist artifact Samadhi Fire Wheel, and the root of the Mani Fire that burns away filth!

"For the endless ones, like a lion looking back, gaze upon this!"

"Supreme Nirvana......ah!"

In order to escape as quickly as possible, the Prince of Lu even chanted the supreme mantra of the Vajra Exorcist, and the result was naturally a scream. His whole body was enveloped in the fire of wisdom, and even his almost-immortal body could not resist. In almost an instant, his skin and flesh turned charred black, and he was about to escape from this dark world!

However, the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, would not let the Prince of Lu leave so easily!

Rumble rumble rumble!

The divine tablets of the Five Heavenly Demon Kings moved. The Azure Heavenly Demon King descended a piece of Dharma Realm, and the Prince of Lu saw his heart being taken away by the Azure Heavenly Demon King, and his seven emotions were drawn out. The power of the fire of wisdom was immediately reduced, and even the gap that had been burned through the Dharma Realm gradually shrunk!

Following closely, the Black Heavenly Demon King shook his divine tablet, and the power of the six desires also left that heart.

The burning fuel for the wisdom fire and Buddhist fire was precisely the seven emotions and six desires in the human heart, all kinds of love and hate, resentment and aversion, arrogance and irritability. Many emotions mixed together, turning into the fuel of wisdom. Therefore, the purer a person's mind, the less likely they were to be ignited by the fire of wisdom. The more complex a person's mind, the more easily they were to be burned by the fire of wisdom!

The Yellow Heavenly Demon King shook, and the Prince of Lu suddenly developed all kinds of diseases, incurable by medicine or stone. The root of the disease sprouted in his heart, and the Prince of Lu's body, form, spirit, and soul all trembled violently, almost separating from each other!

The Yellow Heavenly Demon King, who sends diseases, demonic obstacles, and arts of poisoning!

The White Heavenly Demon King shook, and countless ghostly hands suddenly stretched out from the heart, pulling the Prince of Lu tightly into the Dharma Realm.

The White Heavenly Demon King, who sends thoughts of greedy love and awakens the intention of longing!

The Prince of Lu wanted to resist, but suddenly discovered that he could not even muster the thought of resisting or escaping. A huge sense of negativity and laziness swept over him, and he saw the last Great Demon King shaking his divine tablet!

The Red Heavenly Demon King, who exhausts people's energy and spirit, making them manic, lazy, and indolent, until they sink into Fengdu and are never reborn!

Finally, it was the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator!

The gates of the Ghost City of Fengdu rose from the ground within the Demon King's Dharma Realm. The Prince of Lu was burdened by the heavy and vast power of vows. At this moment, his form was transforming from a human into a *chang* ghost. His limbs became slender, his body became thin and gaunt, and the mask of a *chang* ghost gradually appeared on his face. He was losing his form and spirit, and transforming into a new form!

But at this critical moment, the Prince of Lu shouted out!

"The White Heavenly Venerate!"

"The Great Thunderous Sound, chant the Spirit-Sweeping Demon Chapter, and with a single thought, constantly break all demonic grievances!"

A powerful force descended immediately when the Prince of Lu finished reciting the holy name, and after a brief moment of stagnation, it modified the reality here!

The *chang* ghost form and spirit on the Prince of Lu dissolved, transforming back into human form, and disappeared from the Demon King's Dharma Realm in an instant!

The Prime Sovereign sensed the state of his proxy and used the holy name to carry out a brief intervention. The Heavenly Heart Realm reversed cause and effect, changing the result of the Prince of Lu's failure in the demon trial in the Demon King's Dharma Realm into the original cause.

It was because he came to the Demon King's Dharma Realm for the trial that he failed.

Therefore, now that the trial was over, the Prince of Lu naturally should not be in the Demon King's Dharma Realm. Therefore, he disappeared instantly and fell back to the human world!

In terms of level, the Prime Sovereign was not comparable to the Vajra Exorcist and other Four Great Heavenly Hearts. He could not achieve such earth-shattering means as entering the world to do one thing with a single thought, but he was still an expert in the Lesser Vehicle of the Heavenly Heart Realm. It was possible for him to reverse cause and effect in the Dharma Realm and save his proxy.

What's more, as the master of the Netherworld, the Prime Sovereign naturally had a sense when the gates of the Fengdu Dharma Realm were opened. Even though Fengdu was not under his jurisdiction, he could still use the Fengdu Dharma Realm to transmit a portion of his power.

The Dharma Realm was empty, and the Ghost Gate of Fengdu closed with a bang.

The Five Great Heavenly Demon Kings were furious at the same time.

The divine tablet of the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, also emitted a vast sound of thunder!

This was complete anger!

And from then on, the Prince of Lu would be marked by the Demon Kings!

This was the same situation as Ji Xiang being marked by the Jade Emperor back then. In the future, as long as the Prince of Lu underwent a demon trial, he would definitely face the terrifying scene of three Demon Kings descending at the same time!

In the Great Floating Li Earth, Ji Xiang saw all of this. The sudden change had just occurred in an instant, as if the Prince of Lu had never existed in the Demon King's Dharma Realm from the beginning.

"The Prime Sovereign has taken action. That holy name was exactly what Wu Baoyi once recited."

The scene that had just occurred appeared in the Inner Vision Divine Tablet.

[Reversing Cause and Effect: The seventeenth level of cultivation, a heaven-defying method possessed only by those in the Heavenly Heart Realm, capable of reversing the original order in which things occur, thereby reversing the current result.]

[Heavenly Heart Holy Name: People who are specially noticed by those in the Heavenly Heart Realm are called proxies. When they recite the holy name, they can attract the attention of those in the Heavenly Heart Realm, thereby using their bodies to exert a portion of the power of the Heavenly Heart Realm. It cannot be used to directly launch magical attacks, but it can be used to perform means similar to reversing cause and effect. It can only be used once for a period of time, the specific time depending on the cultivation state of the Heavenly Heart Realm itself.]

[Prime Sovereign (Master of the Underworld, Great Ruler of the Divine Path): Lesser Vehicle of the Heavenly Heart Realm, comprehending the Great Luo Dao Fruit. He can perform a reversal of cause and effect on his proxy once every three months.]

[He controls the Underworld Dharma Realm, the Netherworld Dharma Realm, the Spirit City Dharma Realm, and the Yin Mountain Dharma Realm (half, the remaining half taken by Biyou Palace). The masters of the Dharma Realms have disappeared. The master of the Underworld Dharma Realm, the Big Dipper Lord, King Wu of Zhou; the master of the Netherworld Dharma Realm, the Ten Kings of Hell (three halls destroyed); the master of the Spirit City Dharma Realm, Celestial Master Zhong Kui; the master of the Yin Mountain Dharma Realm, the Old Ancestor of Yin Mountain.]

[The Buddhist Wisdom Dharma Realm is in his hands, causing the master of the Dharma Realm to disappear. The master of the Dharma Realm, Bodhisattva Manjusri.]

[The Buddhist Six Paths Dharma Realm is in his hands, causing the master of the Dharma Realm to disappear. The master of the Dharma Realm, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.]

[Gu 踙[The twenty-four Fengdu Hells, the lower eight hells under the mountains, are the Immeasurable Hell, the Supreme Truth Hell, the Mysterious Capital Hell, the Forty-nine Hells, the Heavenly One Northern Hell, the River Earl Silent, the Kalpa Hell, and the Woman Truth Hell. The masters of the hells have disappeared. The master of the hells, the Goddess of the Moon.]

[The thirty-six Dao Female Azure Hells are all in his hands, causing the masters of the hells to disappear. The master of the hells, Heavenly Law Female Azure.]

[The eighteen levels of Mount Tai Hell, the lower nine levels are all in his hands, causing the masters of the hells to disappear. The master of the hells, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak.]

[He also controls the Manifest Determination Extreme Wind Heavenly Emperor Dharma Realm, the Emperor Shi Huang Filial Mang Heavenly Emperor Dharma Realm, and the Upper Exploration Ruan Le Heavenly Emperor Dharma Realm among the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors, respectively governing the registers of good souls in the world, the sins of the Nine Nether Long Night, and the transformation of immortals.]

[As well as the Three Halls of Hell (Lai He Heavenly Venerate, Heavenly Luo King, Guang Yao Longevity Saint Heavenly Venerate).]

[If one can find the divine tablet of the "Nine Nether Sins-Extricating Heavenly Venerate (Netherworld Master)" in the hells, one can take back the leadership of all the hells!]

This vast amount of Dharma Realm control made Ji Xiang a little frightened.

In this way, although it was only a fleeting glimpse, almost half of the Yin world was in his hands. He deserved to be called the Master of the Underworld!

"However, no matter how strong he is, the Heavenly Heart cannot enter the world!"

"The means of reversing cause and effect has already been used!"

Ji Xiang sneered, and the Chandala Black Finger in his hand flew out of the Floating Li Earth, pointing directly at the Prince of Lu!

.......

"Ugh!"

The Prince of Lu wailed and returned to the human world from the Demon King's Dharma Realm. He was burned by the Buddhist fire of wisdom and almost lost his life. Yao, his advisor, and "Ji Xiang" were both shocked to see the Prince of Lu's condition!

"How did Your Highness get into this state!"

"Did he fail to ascend to immortality! How is this possible? Could it be that the Christ's method was useless, the millions of vows did not play a role, or the Cloud of Merit was not as powerful as expected?"

Yao, his advisor, looked terrified and quickly took out a pill. The Prince of Lu swallowed it all in one gulp, and the Buddhist fire of wisdom behind him gradually subsided. However, the Prince of Lu's flesh and blood were all burned and charred, and he was in great pain, emitting a low groan:

"I don't know what happened. There were missionaries, or some other people, using the vows of all the people to suddenly invade the demon trial... That was the Christ's method, exactly the same as my usage!"

"The demon trial was interrupted, so... the demon trial failed! My cheating seemed to have been discovered, and the Five Great Heavenly Demons descended at the same time, and even the Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, came down!"

Yao, his advisor's, face could be described as horrified at this moment!

"The Northern Emperor, the Great Demon Eliminator, descended?!"

"I have never heard of such a thing!"

Black blood flowed straight from the Prince of Lu's mouth, and he could not cover it: "Not only have you never heard of it, but you cannot find such a thing even by searching through ancient books! If it were not for the Buddhist fire of the Vajra Exorcist, and the Heavenly Heart power of Prime Sovereign, I would probably have died on the road to ascension."

"Flying to immortality failed... cough cough... cough! Ugh!"

As the Prince of Lu spoke, he suddenly could not suppress his internal injuries, and a mouthful of pus and blood spurted out from his seven orifices. He almost collapsed from the clouds and turned into a pile of flesh. Barely supporting himself, it seemed that Qin Nvxiu noticed the Prince of Lu's condition. If the aura of an immortal did not appear, then he naturally failed!

"Cough! Northern Extremity True Man, please lend a helping hand!"

The Prince of Lu felt that Ji Xiang was a trustworthy person. That female immortal looked over here, obviously with murderous intent. He did not know how long Yi Xing Monk and the others could hold on, but defeating her was definitely impossible, so he could only let Ji Xiang, this crippled immortal, take action!

A crippled immortal was still an immortal!

"Ah, then I, poor Daoist, will take action."

Ji Xiang took a few steps forward.

His index finger stretched out and suddenly turned black, resting on the Prince of Lu's shoulder.

The Prince of Lu was the first to discover this blackened finger!

He roared loudly and suddenly rose up violently. At this moment, because he had returned to the human world, the vows of the millions of people in Yingtian Prefecture gathered again!

"Impossible....!"

The Prince of Lu tried to use the Christ's method to block it, but in the next moment, his Dao heart regressed!

"This is not ordinary poisoning."

"If the Dao heart regresses, even an immortal will turn into a banished immortal."

The Prince of Lu suddenly felt the vast vows whistling. The originally docile vows of millions of people were now like raging tigers and angry dragons, as terrifying as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami!

If the Dao heart regressed, it would break, and the vows would naturally lose their place to be carried. How could a person with a broken heart have vows!

And how vast were the vows of millions of living beings!

"Not good, not good! Do not sacrifice to me again!"

Ji Xiang's hand was cut off by the Prince of Lu, but the Prince of Lu was also vomiting blood, and smoke and dust spurted out from his seven orifices. He fell from the clouds and landed on the banks of the Qinhuai River!

And Yao, his advisor, launched a fierce attack on Ji Xiang, but in the next moment, Ji Xiang's body twisted and turned into a black, faceless thing!

Yao, his advisor, was suddenly terrified:

"What are you!"

The black Shadow God naturally did not respond, but gradually faded away, returning to Ji Xiang's body. Following closely, the Yingtian Thirty-six Guards were mobilized. Although the Prince of Lu was impacted by millions of vows and almost lost his soul, he still had at least a portion of vows that he could control. Now that many demons had been killed, he could only mobilize the Yingtian Thirty-six Guards to rescue himself!

He had to leave Yingtian Prefecture immediately!

Moreover, as long as he survived, he would search every mountain and sea and capture that bastard Ji Xiang!

"Go, take this Prince to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum!"

Now, only the tomb of Ming Taizu (the Hongwu Emperor) was a forbidden place for immortals and the safest place!

However, the soldiers and cultivators of the Thirty-six Guards suddenly encountered obstacles from unknown individuals in various places on the streets.

A great cultivator of the Southern Right Golden Guard was stunned as he looked at the "army" that appeared before him!

Buzz!

Incense and fire condensed and coalesced into form. There were workshops selling statues of gods on this road. At this moment, many small statues holding jumped onto the street. These small statues all held long sabers, had red faces, long beards, and wore green hats.

This was a workshop, a handicraft assembly line workshop.

The small statues turned three circles on the ground and immediately changed form!

Ji Xiang had traveled all over Yingtian Prefecture and deployed many of his own "army". These statues were all shaped by Ji Xiang, given form and spirit, and empowered with incense and fire. With the help of the Art of Driving Gods, they could be driven and dispatched.

Dozens of Shadow Soldiers transformed into Ji Xiang's appearance, like relay stations for the Art of Driving Gods, expanding the range of the Art of Driving Gods to the entire Yingtian Prefecture.

At this moment, what appeared in front of the many soldiers of the Southern Right Golden Guard were eight hundred Green Dragon Crescent Blades!

Emitting a buzzing tremor!

"I never thought in my life...."

"That I could see eight hundred Guan Yu!"

On this street.

The statues of Guan Yu sold the best.
