Chapter 735: One Against Many

“You don’t wish for fighting and killing and wish to bring blessings to all life?” Qin Yun and company were surprised upon hearing that. These ancient Chaos Godfiends wanted to bring blessings to all life?

Zhurong looked at the mighty figures of the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts and chuckled. “If we were to really fight, war will spread throughout the Three Realms. Countless will die in the Three Realms, but if we were to have a ceasefire, the Three Realms will be at peace. This will only shower blessings onto the Three Realms.”

Queen Mother, Maitreya, Yang Jian, Guan Yin, Queen Mother, and company exchanged looks.

“You wish to negotiate a truce?” said Maitreya. “Can all of you promise not to slaughter the countless weak casually?”

“Tigers need to eat meat, cats need to eat rats. The law of the jungle is the Heavenly Dao!” Zhurong said. “We have longed attained a perfected Great Dao, making us the strongest beings in the Three Realms. It’s a joke if we were to be made equal to the weak, right?”

Maitreya smiled. “God King Zhurong, we are not requesting you be on equal standing with the weak. We just wish for you to pity the weak. Just one mouthful of yours, and millions of lives…”

“Any amount of meat a tiger eats is a lot more than what a human eats. Isn’t it normal that we Chaos Godfiend eat more?” Zhurong said. “There are countless lives in the Three Realms. The speed at which we eat isn’t as fast as they reproduce! What’s there to be afraid of? Letting their proliferation go unchecked would only add burden to the Three Realms. We might as well help by eating them. By doing so, we are lessening the burden of the Three Realms. We are helping the Three Realms by providing nothing but benefit.”

“Preposterous!”

Qin Yun bellowed coldly. “A world’s land is limited. The number of lives it can support is limited as well. They will not be able to reproduce without end! They will also work hard and cultivate, producing talent and cultivators! Even I, Qin Yun, started off as a mortal cultivator. As for all of you, by using the reason of law of the jungle, you devour with impunity. The Heavenly Dao has long made restricts that cultivators are forbidden from slaughtering mortals to stop you from such actions. But just because all of you are powerful, you continue to do evil, unafraid of Negative Karma Fire… The Heavenly Dao can’t stop you, but we will rid of you.”

“Haha, Sword Immortal Qin, you won’t be able to kill us,” said Zhurong with a laugh. “Back when you killed the Lord of the Yellowbeard World, you had went to a great deal of effort to ally with Hou Yi, right? With so many of us perfected Great Dao existences here, we will be much harder to kill than him.”

“Is that so?” Qin Yun’s eyes flashed coldly. “We can always give it a try.”

“Don’t be mad. If we were to really fight, it would bring disaster to the Three Realms,” said Zhurong with a laugh. “Why don’t you listen to our conditions?”

Qin Yun grunted.

By the side, Maitreya said, “God King Zhurong, why don’t you share your terms with us?”

Zhurong looked to his side and then at the mighty figures on Qin Yun’s side before smiling. “On our side, there’s me, Boxun, Torch Dragon, and the present lord of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, Blood Sea. Together we have four half-step Heavenly Dao realm existences. In terms of half-step Heavenly Dao realm existences, there are seven in the Three Realms at present. We have four on our side. Furthermore, we still have sixteen other perfected Great Dao existences…”

Qin Yun and company listened.

“In terms of half-step Heavenly Dao realm and perfected Great Dao existences… my side probably covers about half of the Three Realms,” Zhurong said with a smile. “In that case, we should occupy thirty of the dominions in the Three Realms. Isn’t that how it should be?”

“Occupy half?” Yang Jian sneered. “The Three Realms are now ruled by the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts. Are you implying we give up half of the dominions to you?”

“The present Three Realms isn’t fully ruled by you,” said Zhurong. “For instance, the Chaos Three Banes, the Seven Saints in the Universe, they are all lords of Great Worlds. They only permit your preaching in those worlds to give you Daoists and Buddhists face. But in fact, they are the lords of their Great Worlds. My present proposal of occupying half of the dominions is only reasonable.”

“Face?” Kong Xuan said in return, “It’s because they couldn’t stop it back when the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor were in the Three Realms.”

“They have already left the Three Realms,” said Zhurong. “I’m saying all this for all lives in the Three Realms. We have planned it out. The dominions in the Three Realms shall be split into half by both sides. That will remove the need for war! Furthermore, we can also promise that the number in lives in our dominions will not be less than eighty percent of your dominions. That way, you don’t have to worry that we will go overboard in our slaughtering.”

The reproduction of life was fast to begin with.

If they reined in their scourge on life, that would be sufficient.

In fact…

These Chaos Godfiends would still be very pleased if they came to an agreement with Qin Yun and company. After all, if Sword Immortal Qin allied with Hou Yi, it would leave them in extreme fear. They were also taking this chance now to face Qin Yun while Hou Yi wasn’t around. This bolstered their confidence.

“Let half the lives in the dominions of the Three Realms be lamb for your slaughter?” Qin Yun sneered. “That’s sure a nice dream of yours.”

“God King Zhurong, you haven’t changed despite being imprisoned by Goddess Nüwa for so long.” Guan Yin shook her head as well.

“It’s impossible for us to agree,” said Emperor Polestar as well.

“Impossible?”

Zhurong said, “Then, do you truly want to cause an even more intense Daoist-Fiend war?”

Boxun, Torch Dragon, and the other sixteen perfected Great Dao existences all looked at Qin Yun.

“That’s what I should be asking you,” said Qin Yun calmly. “Are you prepared to be killed like Patriarch Spirit Devouring and Elder Yellowbeard?”

Many of the ancient existences had slight changes in expression when they heard that.

This Sword Immortal Qin… was truly filled with killing intent.

“Zhurong.” The purple-robed Torch Dragon frowned. “Since words don’t work with them, let’s begin. Make the entire Three Realms become ours.”

“That’s reasonable. It’s better to kill them all,” said Boxun as his aura rose abruptly.

“Boom!!!”

The terrifying array that they had spared no expenses to set up erupted. Strange auras began to emanate as countless phantoms appeared.

There were endless delicacies and ambrosia, the best food and wine one could imagined, all sorts of beauties, unforgettable childhood loves, the ideal lovers they were infatuated with, the charming woman they would occasionally chance upon…

There were the difficulties of the cultivation path, the euphoria from obtaining a Dharmic formulation, the joy of slaying fiendish demons…

Money, jewelry, gems, natural treasures, Connate Numinous treasures… All sorts of precious treasures appeared.

The triggering of a mental demon to cause chaotic Dharmic powers. Enemies attacking, pushing them into perilous situations… All sorts of death approached, with survival being the only thought in the face of death.

Seated at the throne of an emperor, seeing countless people prostrate towards them. Becoming a patriarch of a sect, seeing countless cultivators prostrate before them. Whatever said became reality as the world bent before them. How much immense power was this?

The master who did his best to groom you, life-and-death brothers, parents at home, the running children and the wife who smiled at you while she continued weaving clothes.

“No! No—”

“Master.”

“I can’t accept it, I really can’t accept it. So what if I’ve become Buddha, so what if I gain eternal life?”

Invisible auras spread everywhere.

Instantly, Qin Yun and the many mighty figures were influenced, especially the ordinary mighty figures. Some were wailing, while others were in a frenzy, looking like they would lose themselves at any moment. Even perfected Great Dao existences felt the influence, but they did their best to resist it.

“Recite the Clear Minded Chant.” Guan Yin sat cross-legged and said. The Buddhist mighty figures who could maintain their clarity of mind immediately began chanting, but the ordinary mighty figures were unable to control themselves.

“Set.”

Qin Yun had the easiest time of those present.

When he experienced the final Itinerant Immortal tribulation, his Essence Soul had suffered immense torture before he experienced a qualitative change and gained the ability to split into 129,600 avatars. Now, he had the strongest Essence Soul in the Three Realms. The invisible aura’s influence on Qin Yun was minute with his Essence Soul’s resistance. It made Qin Yun recall his youth, Chen Shuang, his friends from his younger days, and his master, Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor, who had left the Three Realms…

Although these thoughts were evoked, Qin Yun’s Essence Soul remained calm and his strength was unaffected.

Upon seeing this scene, with a thought from Qin Yun, the might of the Misty Rain Array erupted.

“Hum—”

The array formation enveloped their surroundings, protecting the numerous mighty figures as it shielded them from the infiltration of that mysterious aura.

“It’s useless. An array formation can’t withstand my Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Dao.” Boxun laughed with extreme confidence.

But soon, his expression changed.

He saw the blurry Misty Rain Array envelop the area and, although the Seven Emotions and Six Desires aura was able to barely penetrate the Misty Rain Array, it was weakened to less than ten percent of its original strength. With so little of the aura penetrating, even the ordinary mighty figures began to open their eyes and return to normal.

“What a terrifying King of Myriad Fiends.”

“Boxun lives up to his name of being able to wreak havoc on the Buddhists with his powers alone. Many Buddhas fear him. He’s truly terrifying when he casts his Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Dao.”

The mighty figures who returned to normal felt a lingering fear.

Ordinary mighty figures were completely powerless against Boxun.

“This Boxun has long figured out the Six Desires Great Dao. It seems like you recently figured out the Seven Emotions Great Dao in recent years,” said Guan Yin seriously. “The combination of two perfected Great Dao forms the Dao of Seven Emotions and Six Desires… In terms of its might, it’s far stronger than what it was in the past. Even us perfected Great Dao existences can only use thirty to forty percent of our strength in front of him.”

“He was the leader of the fiends once upon a time, someone who fought Buddhist Ancestor Gautama for an extremely long period of time. After Gautama broke through, he entered dormancy and seldom takes action,” added Emperor Polestar. “With his qualifications, the Three Realms believed that he’s a half-step Heavenly Dao realm. Now, it’s as expected. Furthermore, he even figured out the Seven Emotions Great Dao which synergizes very well with the Six Desires Great Dao.”

“Your Misty Rain Array is actually able to fend off my Seven Emotions and Six Desires aura?” Boxun looked at Qin Yun in disbelief.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires aura was extremely mysterious.

Typical array formations and domains were unable to fend it off.

Boxun did not know that Qin Yun similarly had insight into two perfected Great Dao. The Great Dao of Yin and Yang and the Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man synergized well, and casting the Misty Rain Sword with the two combined only made the Misty Rain Array even more perfect!

“Why? Did you really think your Seven Emotions and Six Desires Dao is invincible?” Qin Yun scoffed.

“Hahaha…”

Boxun laughed. “As expected of Sword Immortal Qin. You do have some means up your sleeve. But now, all of you do not dare exit the Misty Rain Array, so how are you to fight us? Do you mighty figures dare to let your Dharmic powers go outside the Misty Rain Array? Once it touches my Seven Emotions and Six Desires aura, the strength will be greatly reduced, causing you to risk losing yourselves.”

The hundred plus mighty figures behind Qin Yun had slight changes in expression.

Each portion of Essence Soul Dharmic powers was a part of the Essence Soul. It would be a truly terrifying outcome for them once their Dharmic powers were tainted by the Seven Emotions and Six Desires auras.

“Sword Immortal Qin,” said Queen Mother. “This Boxun managed to influence the Buddhists by his powers alone back then. Now, he has become more powerful. Our mighty figures present… even those at the perfected Great Dao realm, would only have thirty to forty percent of our strength once our Dharmic powers touch the Seven Emotions and Six Desires aura. We won’t be able to help much.”

Qin Yun swept them with a gaze.

Previously, many of these mighty figures had all sorts of means, such as setting up arrays or trapping foes. Now, only a few could be of help.

“Qin Yun, you have no right to rule over the Three Realms just with the Misty Rain Array’s protection,” said Boxun with a laugh. “If you wish to defeat the enemy, you still need to rely on powerful offensive means. Feel free to attack us with all those mighty figures you have. If all of you combined can deal with me and defeat me, I’d be impressed.”

“Hahaha, Brother Boxun can deal with all you mighty figures alone. I doubt all of you can win.”

“You wish to rule over the Three Realms with that bit of strength? What a joke.”

With Boxun by their side, they were filled with confidence.
