From the end of the world

Chapter 619 The Two Late Arrivals

I came to Fa Zheng's battlefield and witnessed the end of the battle.

Above the city that had turned into ruins, Fa Zheng's icy magic power radiated out, freezing the great demon Dizang's defensive barrier into ice cubes, which were then shattered into pieces and turned into snowflakes all over the sky.

In a split second, the human divine weapon in the form of a spear pierced through the head of the Great Demon Ksitigarbha. The Great Demon Ksitigarbha was fifty meters tall, and the wound made by the silver-white spear looked so tiny. With this tiny wound as the center, the ice instantly spread and wrapped around the whole body of the Great Demon Ksitigarbha, and then shattered like the ice just now. The body of the Great Demon Ksitigarbha also entered the end of being shattered, and melted into the air along with the snowflakes in the sky.

I wanted to intervene midway, but it seems I missed the chance.

And the remaining great demon Yu Lei is naturally no match for Fa Zheng, who possesses the divine weapon of humanity.

Because of the large number of casualties in this battle, the Humane Divine Weapon gave Fa Zheng a high bonus. If he was on par with me before, he is now even stronger than me. However, in terms of how fast the battle ends, Fa Zheng is obviously slower than me. Although it was also because of the previous injury caused by the Great Demon Kirin, it was more because of the nature of the battle between the two sides.

The Great Demon Kirin and I are both attacking, so it is easier to decide the winner. Fa Zheng is a rare balanced attacker and defender. Even at this moment, his attack power is weaker than mine, but his defense power is much higher than mine. The damage caused by the Great Demon Kirin's attack is not very painful. And the Great Demon Dizang just now is probably the only one among all the Great Demons who specializes in defense. In this way, the battle will inevitably become delayed.

From another perspective, the battle situation on Fa Zheng's side was even less suspenseful. Fa Zheng's fighting style was clear at a glance, and he was the type that played steadily and cautiously. If there was still a chance of failure on my side, Fa Zheng's side was sure to win. Rather than calling it a battle, it was more like an engineering operation. Everything was under control.

But his expression didn't look like he was sure to win. His face was filled with gritting teeth and rage, which made him look like a loser.

The demon Yu Lei charged at Fa Zheng as if he didn't know what death was. Fa Zheng flashed and appeared right behind the enemy. A huge hole appeared on the demon Yu Lei's chest, and the ice wrapped around his whole body, then turned into countless powder snow and dissipated.

Fa Zheng turned his back to me and put down his spear without saying a word.

If he hadn't used the power of the true spirit to kill him, the demon would still be summoned again by Naraku Gospel in the future. Fa Zheng must have known this. But since he wanted to kill it himself, I didn't remind him. If he wants to kill it, then kill it. Just let him vent his anger. Anyway, I didn't have time to intervene and remind the most troublesome demon Dizang. If he kills the demon Yu Lei now, it's just a bonus. At worst, I will have to fight against those two demons in the future.

"...Zhuang Cheng, you're here."

As if Fa Zheng sensed my approach, he greeted me in a dull tone without even turning his head, while looking down at the ruins of the devastated city.

After a few seconds, he turned around and said expressionlessly: "You seem to have mentioned before that you have the power of the true spirit, so you can completely kill the big demon...right?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and two fist-sized ice crystals appeared in his hand, each sealing a ball of black gas.

"I have captured the last of the souls of these two great demons," he said. "If it was the Great Impermanence, it would have been completely dead by now. However, I briefly analyzed the nature of their existence during the battle. They are strange creatures like a moving natural disaster. Rather than being a life, they are more like a collection of some kind of power.

"Although there is no hope of them recovering in a short time, they are not completely dead yet. You will deal the final blow to them."

It turns out that he wasn't so crazy as to forget about it.

I did as he said and sent out flames to evaporate and destroy the souls inside the ice crystal belt, completely eliminating the great demon Ksitigarbha and the great demon Yulei.

“I didn’t expect that even the Great Impermanence Ksitigarbha would appear in the form of a great demon,” I said.

In fact, I did hear about the existence of the Great Demon Ksitigarbha from No. 7, but I found it a little unbelievable when I heard about its existence.

The Great Impermanence Ksitigarbha is the prototype of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism. Like Mingzhu, Ksitigarbha once made a contract with Naraku's will. He vowed to live a life dedicated to saving all living beings in the future. The saying about Ksitigarbha in the common sense world, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty," comes from this ambition. As long as Ksitigarbha keeps fulfilling this oath, Naraku's will will continue to give him strength.

This is actually similar to the humane magic weapon held by Fa Zheng, and the condition for the great devil to appear is that "the prototype human has the desire to destroy the world." It is hard to imagine that Ksitigarbha, who has made such a great wish, actually has the urge to destroy the world.

However, the Great Demon Jizo summoned by the Gospel of Naraku obviously did not inherit the great vows of Jizo of the Great Impermanence. Even if he did inherit them, it would probably be useless. The Great Demon is a weird creature that exists to slaughter all mankind, and it will not be recognized by the will of Naraku in the first place. Such perverse behavior will probably be regarded as breaking the precepts, and then punished by the will of Naraku, which will weaken it further.

I had explained to Fa Zheng the conditions for the great demon to appear last time, so he immediately understood what I meant.

"There's nothing strange about it. People who want to save all living beings will always face the darkest part of people's hearts. Maybe Ksitigarbha in the past would occasionally have some unknown thoughts." Fa Zheng said, "Besides, even if we put this aside, it's not strange that Great Impermanence himself wants to destroy the world. To be honest, I also have that kind of crazy idea from time to time."

The second half of his words sounded nonsensical, but I quickly understood what he meant.

As the saying goes, "When you have a sharp weapon, you will be murderous." Or, in more popular terms, "When you have a hammer, everyone looks like a nail." For the Great Impermanence, the surface world is too fragile, especially the civilized world where humans gather. If he moves a little, he will destroy everything around him. Even just existing here will cause the law of heaven and earth, affecting the order of nature and society.

Even if you live in the wilderness that seems far away from human habitation, you will feel constrained, because the scope of influence you can have when you are serious is so huge that even living in such a place cannot help but cause damage to the civilized world. The more you don't want this to happen, the more you have to put on countless heavy shackles for yourself.

How unfree it is, even breathing freely is impossible, stretching one's limbs is a taboo. A light breath, or a slight touch, and the civilized world will be shattered and destroyed. The endless ruins in front of us are a vivid description of the consequences of the gods' unbridled activities on earth.

Fa Zheng stared at the desolate scenery in a trance. Suddenly, he froze for a moment, and then showed a very surprised expression.

"…What's going on?" he said in disbelief.

Hearing this, I immediately followed his gaze and looked ahead, but I didn't notice any changes. It was still exactly the same as before, and the surrounding scenery had not changed. What on earth was Fa Zheng thinking?

I was just about to ask, but after all, Fa Zheng reminded me, I reacted before I could ask.

——The great demons’ magic of heaven and earth has not disappeared.

The Law of Heaven and Earth is like the depression formed by a lead ball thrown on a bed. Wherever the lead ball moves, the depression will move there, and if it is taken away, the depression will disappear. Therefore, it stands to reason that as long as the Great Impermanence who unfolded the Law of Heaven and Earth is killed, its Law of Heaven and Earth will automatically disappear between heaven and earth. The Law of Heaven and Earth of the Great Demon should also follow the same principle.

However, the doomsday space-time around us has not receded. Time and space are still in a state of chaos, and even continue to deepen the chaos. According to this trend, I am afraid that the momentum of the doomsday space-time spreading to the outside world has not stopped yet, and the real world will soon be completely covered by the colors of the doomsday era.

At this time, a figure dressed in white and carrying a long sword suddenly appeared not far away. It was the Great Wuchang Jian Feixian.

"Jian Feixian...where did you go just now?" Fa Zheng asked coldly.

The other party should have come to support us as soon as we started the battle with the three demons, but for some reason they delayed until now. Such neglect is really unacceptable. If Jian Feixian does not give a sufficient reason, Fa Zheng will probably not let him go easily.

Faced with the hidden anger of his good friend Fa Zheng, Jian Feixian simply shrugged his shoulders without uttering a word of defense.

Just as Fa Zheng was about to explode, an old voice came from the side slowly: "Don't blame Jian Feixian, I was the one who intercepted him before."

We looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a gray Taoist robe, appearing in this place.

"Master Gua, what is going on? What's the point of you intercepting him?" Fa Zheng asked with a frown, "No... the most important thing right now is not this. We must hurry up and stop the spread of this Fa Tian Xiang Di, otherwise the world will be destroyed..."

"Don't worry about this..." Gua Tianshi said leisurely, "While you were fighting the three-headed demon, Jian Feixian and I had temporarily contained this dangerous Fa Tian Xiang Land from the outside."
