Fried Salted Fish

Chapter 375 Dare to Commit Atrocities Before a Heavenly Devil

“Supreme Resentment! Execute!”

Of course, the god Mofushen was unwilling to sit idly by and await death! Even though the power Ji Xiang was displaying at this moment filled him with terror, he had to brace himself and face it head-on!

After all, this place was connected to the fate of the Divine Kingdom. Even if the opponent was a true immortal descending to the mortal realm, he could not completely kill these three supreme beings!

This was a kind of great curse technique, using powerful resentment to curse and kill the target they wanted to obliterate. This curse technique manifested as the power of words, possessing a kind of might where a single word could determine the fate of the world!

It was as if the moment he uttered these terrifying words, the target would surely be cursed to death!

Their souls would be torn apart, their primordial spirits would be tainted by the curse, and endless killing tribulations would fill their bodies in the form of resentment!

The ancient Celestial Demon Qi, the golden aura of Buddhism, and the azure aura of Taoism flew down like a sea of clouds, clashing with the power of this curse.

"Resentful spirits are indestructible, the Divine Kingdom is indestructible. From the ancient era of resentful spirit sacrifices, we have always existed. The entire Shinto tradition has been established by us, and even the existence of the Ghost God Path is closely related to us."

"You are definitely not sent by Emperor Jinmu to eliminate us!"

The injuries on the body of the Osaka god had already healed, and he also spoke unwilling to be outdone. At this time, the curse of resentment erupted by the god Mofushen carried the power of the netherworld to kill, emanating from the void, and had already arrived.

It intertwined with the divine might of the three Celestial deities of Demon, Buddha, and Tao, but after a moment, it was dragged out from the void. Only a patch of black gas was seen floating, carrying the power of filth. Those words were transformed into substantial characters, forcibly manifested in this world!

"How is this possible!"

The god Mofushen was greatly surprised to see the words become substantial and dragged out from the void.

The black gas surged, but in the blink of an eye, it was swept away by the Buddha's aura, devoured by the demon's aura, and extinguished by the Tao's aura. Thus, this menacing curse power, which attempted to contend with Ji Xiang, completely collapsed and dissipated after only a moment of stalemate with the divine might of the three deities. All traces of its existence were swallowed up by the three deities' divine aura!

The Osaka god and Emperor Chongde saw the great crisis at this moment. Seeing the divine aura of the three deities chasing after them, they dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately unleashed their immense magical powers!

Only to see a flash of mirror light, illuminating the dark world!

"Flesh and blood essence, all gather in my body!"

"The Fearful Forbidden Technique!"

The mirrors on Emperor Chongde's body swayed, and in an instant, the appearances of all living beings in this decaying world were reflected within!

Souls locked!

And then!

In an instant, the lives of all living beings in the mountains, forests, and decaying world were taken away!

"Come, return to where you should be!"

"Sublimate your hearts, souls, and flesh, and forge the continuation of the Divine Kingdom!"

Mirrors reflect people's souls and imprison their spirits. If other mirrors existed here, not having received the refinement of Emperor Chongde, then people's souls could not be gathered onto his body.

At this time, the Osaka god watched as thousands of souls were forcibly taken away. For a time, cries of sorrow were everywhere, and white bones filled the fields. Those people screamed in terror, but their souls uncontrollably left, and their bodies seemed to evaporate in an instant. Their flesh and blood disappeared without a trace, leaving only piles of bones to return to the earth.

"These bones are left to the Yellow Springs Kingdom, as carriers for the Yin soldiers."

"This flesh and blood essence will forge the supreme barrier of the Divine Kingdom, for our use."

Thousands of souls left their physical bodies, whether human, ghost, demon, or spirit. In an instant, they turned into skeletons, and even their flesh and blood were gone!

Those evaporated flesh and blood essence were also completely replenished into the bodies of the three great resentful spirits at this time!

"Our people are in the same world as us."

The god Mofushen narrowed his eyes on his dark face, smiling narrowly, like those terrifying ancient monsters in true mythology, revealing a satisfied and ferocious face after receiving sacrifices.

The two eyes of the Osaka god revealed a sad expression, accompanied by his miserable sighs, affecting the spirits of the world like a storm.

"Spirits, great spirits, the Divine Kingdom exists, the gods are immortal, and the spirits are also immortal."

This terrifying, shocking, and infuriating scene happened in an instant before Ji Xiang's eyes. It was not until Ji Xiang turned his gaze to those living people near Izumo Grand Shrine that he realized this.

It was not an illusion reflected in the mirror, but a truly large number of living people were killed. Even more than that, even those monsters, elves, and demons were stripped of their essential existence, and their souls and flesh were also plundered.

At this moment, all beings were equal, only the three starting gods of resentment stood in the world, and they declared that all that had died was like a dream, and they still existed, so all these souls of beings were with their resentful spirits.

"The resentment of living beings in the world will not disappear, even the years cannot erase it. It lives well, and can contribute the wishes of sacrifice to us, and when encountering an enemy like you, they become our food. This kind of unwilling death, carrying great hatred, will also return to us after death."

"No matter what, we will become stronger."

"This place is one with the Divine Kingdom. You can kill us once, twice, or even hundreds or thousands of times, but you will always run out of power."

The three great resentful spirit gods all let out rampant and gleeful laughter.

Only Ji Xiang's brow was already furrowed tightly.

Musashi and the old abbot were shocked and angry, but facing the starting gods of Shinto, they had no way to resist. They could only watch this level of fighting from afar, and could not get close at all, so as not to be affected and have their souls scattered.

Ji Xiang said unhappily: "Although I did not intend to save the people of this rotten world, after all, your country has become like this entirely through your own fault, but when you kill living people in front of me, even if I don't care, the Heavenly Dao cannot say it did not see it."

"You resentful spirit things, hateful monsters, you truly have monstrous courage to commit murder before the eyes of a Celestial Demon!"

Ji Xiang's tone began to turn angry!

It seemed that they did not take this Celestial Demon seriously at all!

In an instant, anger filled him, and the ancient Celestial Demon Qi erupted, eroding all the protective auras on the bodies of the three great resentful spirit gods!

"Ah! It's this aura again!"

The laughter came to an abrupt halt, and the terrifying faces that coexisted with ferocity and joy quickly turned to panic.

The screams broke through the sky. The three great resentful spirit gods were in disbelief! They had clearly devoured all the wishes and hatreds contributed by all living beings in the Divine Kingdom, and their strength had entered the depths of the Immortal Dao realm. How could they be easily broken through the defense of the protective resentful aura? This was a barrier formed by all the auras that existed on the bodies of all beings collected by them!

"Ama-no-Iwato, devour them!"

Emperor Chongde gave the order, and the huge grave mountain meat monster raised its head and swallowed the sky. Large swaths of the sky within the universe were eaten by it, and even the aura entered the bottomless cave, without seeing it feel the slightest discomfort!

Most of this world had entered darkness, but not far from Izumo Grand Shrine, the power of the scarlet divine banner still existed. Ama-no-Iwato could not get close to the scarlet divine banner. Seeing this scene, the three great resentful spirits immediately roused their magic power again, wanting to compete with Ji Xiang, while the Osaka god turned his gaze to the scarlet divine banner.

"That must be a divine artifact we have never seen before! Ama-no-Iwato devours everything, and the places in the world eaten by it will become a dark void. Its existence itself represents the yin side of the world, is the embodiment of obscurity, is the personification of fear and terror, is the Izumo giant monster that only appears in the Divine Kingdom. It cannot be defeated."

"But that scarlet divine banner can actually block its progress. Being able to block its progress means it can subdue it!"

The god Mofushen threw eight red spears in his hand, raised eight red shields, and blocked the attacks of the Ama-no-Habakiri and the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. In an instant, four shields shattered, but they quickly returned to their original state.

He also said to the Osaka god:

"That's right! What did this intruder call himself just now?"

"Celestial Demon?"

"What is that thing? Is it the kind of demon in Buddhism?"

The gods Mofushen and Osaka were both ancient resentful spirit gods. They resided in this Peach Blossom Spring world of Izumo, not knowing what dynasties there were, not knowing how many changes there had been. In the past, only one person who crossed the sea had broken in, but did not do anything to them. That was also the fleeting glimpse of the name Hakata no Ekisai appearing in this Peach Blossom Spring. They thought that the other side of the sea was a country called Tang.

And Buddhism was transmitted from that country.

So the demon also came with the Buddha, and those strange things that originally existed in the world, those that originally had no name or meaning, were given the titles of "demons" and the like.

"What a joke, a monster that crossed the sea actually wants to compete with us!"

"Having great power is not everything. Today, we must make him understand this!"

Although the god Mofushen shouted fiercely, he also understood that the other party's power was far above their three great resentful spirits, but what they relied on was their existence being together with the Divine Kingdom. As long as the Divine Kingdom was not destroyed, they would be immortal.

Emperor Chongde scolded: "Stop making meaningless verbal disputes. Wanting to grind to death such a guy who has stepped into the Immortal Dao realm is by no means an easy task. Having absorbed the flesh and blood essence, he can still hurt us. Even Ama-no-Iwato cannot swallow this red demonic sky. Osaka, if you have the ability, then quickly seize that scarlet divine banner!"

After saying that, he exchanged a glance with the god Mofushen. The two began to cast their spells, resentment curses, curses, assassinations, yin and yang rotations, divine Shinto clouds, all the means of ancient Shintoism were earth-shattering for a time, all coming out together, just to stop Ji Xiang!

"Since you are a Buddhist Celestial Demon, I also understand some Buddhist methods! Six Paths Painting!"

On Emperor Chongde's body, the mirrors swayed, and six mirrors manifested the scenes of the Six Paths. Among them, six kinds of ghost and monster phantoms floated, and a hellish world immediately wanted to tear Ji Xiang to pieces!

The god Mofushen also displayed ancient Shinto methods:

"Evil Exorcism Painting!"

Gods exorcise evil, and several tall resentful spirit black shadows appeared. The dark gods of ancient Shinto sacrifices appeared in the form of divine shadows, representing the meaning of "using terror to drive away terror", sacrificing to the "great terror".

This Evil Exorcism Painting actually blocked the ancient Celestial Demon Qi all at once!

But it only blocked it for a moment!

However, the god Mofushen was immortal. He actually sacrificed himself, and his huge resentful spirit body and the army of divine shadows that filled the sky formed a high wall, not allowing Ji Xiang to cross the front and take half a step!

The Osaka god pulled himself away and flew towards the location of the scarlet divine banner. Sensing that the demonic energy was about to obliterate him, the Osaka god suddenly appeared with flesh and blood lines on his body.

The resentful spirit body, in an instant, turned into the body of a living person, and the killing demon aura disappeared without a trace!

"Sure enough, this divine banner can invade our world, but it did not harm those ordinary mortals before. This divine banner only kills gods and demons, and does not harm ordinary people!"

"I will seize the divine banner with the body of an ordinary person!"

The Osaka god pinched a hand seal, and then cast a shocking spell!

"Human Gate Ghost Gate, Heaven and Earth Transfer!"

"Technique to Prohibit Ghost Gods and External Objects!"

A colorless space spread out, and everything in the world lost its color. Whether it was the scarlet ancient Celestial Demon Qi or the filthy black gas entangled around them, they all lost their brilliance in an instant. There was no black and white, only a transparent universe.

After this universe disappeared, the power of the Dharma was erased, and everything had to start again!

"This divine artifact is mine!"

The Osaka god was both surprised and delighted. Using the starting technique of ancient Shinto, the method handed down from Emperor Jinmu, he prohibited the flow of the power of the Dharma in this world, as if he had forcibly stopped the originally existing formation, and the machine that was in operation suddenly became stiff and paused. At this moment, the powerful power would disappear, the滔天的怒火 would turn into nothingness, and even the killing techniques would stop moving.

The sharp knives and swords would become unsharpened on both sides, and they not only stopped their violence, but could even further control their existence!

A sword that is wielded randomly is dangerous, but a sword that is placed still is safe!

The huge figure of the Osaka god grasped the equally huge scarlet divine banner.

And then!

The divine banner suddenly became bigger!

Ji Xiang, who was blocked outside the high wall of divine shadows, uttered a word in a cold tone:

"Receive!"

Rumble!

The scarlet divine banner received the order, and in an instant, it covered the sky and the earth. The dark sky and earth that had been swallowed by Ama-no-Iwato reappeared with light, but it was a scarlet halo, representing the anger of the ancient Celestial Demon!

The figure of the Osaka god instantly twisted!

He was like a pulled noodle, instantly dragged into the scarlet divine banner!

"Osaka!"

The god Mofushen saw this scene, his eyes were about to split, but the next moment, the scarlet divine banner suddenly rose from the ground and pressed towards him!

The anger that had filled his mind just now disappeared all at once. After a moment of calmness, what followed was a huge panic in his heart!

"It's gone!"

Gone, the traces of the existence of the Osaka god were gone, and the power about it in the world had dissipated!

Being killed repeatedly was not terrible.

What was terrible was being suddenly taken into that strange divine artifact, and even the traces of existence could not be felt!

"Escape!"

The god Mofushen suddenly lost the courage to fight to the end. Sometimes, the collapse came so suddenly!

But the divine banner grew larger and rose to the sky. In a trance, the god Mofushen was struck by the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. Suddenly, the wounds of worldly disputes were added to his body. One sword was like a thousand swords, splitting his resentful spirit body into hundreds of thousands of pieces!

On the other side, Emperor Chongde was also struck by the Ama-no-Habakiri!

Ji Xiang waved the Manjushri Green Sword, and with one blow, he eliminated the god Mofushen from beginning to end!

The fire of wisdom burned karma!

The eyes of the god Mofushen carried terror and disbelief.

Ji Xiang said lightly:

"The so-called Human Gate Ghost Gate, Heaven and Earth Transfer, the technique to prohibit ghost gods and external objects, is a method researched by Taoism during the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

"I am a Taoist Primordial Celestial Demon, and you use Taoist methods that are inferior to mine to control my divine powers?"

"You are courting death!"

The Buddha sword waved again.

The god Mofushen immediately vanished into thin air, and the huge resentment and flesh and blood essence all scattered into the Divine Kingdom, dissolving into nothingness. And Emperor Chongde discovered that, regardless of whether it was the Osaka god or the Mofushen, after they were killed at this moment, they did not revive!

"What's going on? They didn't recover. You can't possess such power. No one in this world can have such power!"

Emperor Chongde howled hysterically, unable to accept what was happening at this moment.

Ji Xiang explained: "The ancient Celestial Demon Qi has already destroyed your foundation, and Manjushri's Sword of Wisdom can destroy all evil dharmas."

"When the foundation is destroyed, the tall building collapses. Although there are rootless duckweeds drifting with the waves in this world, how can towering trees not have roots to rely on?"

After saying that, he pointed the sword at Emperor Chongde, and in an instant, the sword's edge had rubbed against the top of his head.

The fire of wisdom rose fiercely, burning extremely violently and joyfully!

"You are a Celestial Demon, but what is a Celestial Demon?"

Emperor Chongde was a little crazy, having lived for hundreds of years and never seen such a thing.

Ji Xiang said: "A Celestial Demon is the being that kills you."

"To control evil with evil, to stop killing with killing, to control demons with demons, this is the Celestial Demon!"
