Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 552-562: The Curtain Falls Over the Sky

Emperor Xi of the Western Regions - Yang Guang.

If we're talking about who's the most incomprehensible person in the world, the young emperors of all dynasties could be considered one.

Ascending the throne as a child, interference in politics by the harem, and the proliferation of political factions... It can be said that this emperor experienced almost every difficult situation that a new emperor would face after ascending the throne.

Although the imperial edicts issued at the beginning had all passed through his hands, they were treated differently after he saw them.

In addition, before the Empress Dowager died, the new emperor did not have much power, and since he was young at the time, no one in the court listened to him.

Over time, Yang Guang began to put on an act of being a dissolute and incompetent playboy in front of outsiders.

This phenomenon continued until recently, when a bloody incident occurred in the imperial court.

Nearly a hundred ministers, along with hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids, were killed by the emperor on the same day.

I heard that at that time, the entire palace, inside and out, was covered in blood, with piles of heads and blood everywhere that could not be washed away.

The instigator of all this is the emperor before us, whom outsiders criticize as incompetent.

Human Immortal... or Great Luo Immortal?
None of those present could accurately assess Yang Guang's strength.

The Purple Dragon Qi surrounding the other party shielded them from all external perceptions, so even the likes of the Purple Maiden Goddess and the Evil Spirit True Lord could not discern anything from them.

However, the strength of the people behind Yang Guang was immediately apparent to them.

Throughout history, the officials in charge of astronomy included A Xiang, the chief priest of the Thunder God Temple; Xu Fu, the chief eunuch of the Lingtai Bureau; and Xiang Shaoqing, the director of the Night Watch Bureau.

However, three human immortals are clearly not enough for Evil Spirit True Lord and Zigu Goddess. Either Yang Guang's own strength is in no way inferior to the former, or he has someone else to rely on.

So no matter how you look at it, this suddenly appearing third party is not as easy to deal with as it seems.

The Evil Spirit Lord turned his head to look at the Goddess Zigu: "If we join forces to kill him, the distribution will still be the same. I want his body, you take his empire, and from now on, the Evil Spirit Army can also belong to you. What do you say?"

A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the Evil Spirit True Lord, and he made a suggestion to the Goddess Zigu, quite tempted.

If Yang Guang can stay here, the dynasty will inevitably be thrown into chaos. At that time, both of them will get what they want, which is a win-win situation.

However, Zigu Goddess merely glanced at the Evil Spirit True Lord, her face expressionless.

Just then, the space not far away rippled again, and a group of several figures slowly emerged from it.

The other party was dressed in different brocade Taoist robes and wore Taoist crowns, with an elegant and otherworldly demeanor.

The Evil Spirit True Lord frowned: "The Daoist sect?"

The Taoist school has nine lineages, one of which produces a human immortal. Most human immortals in the mortal world originate from this lineage.

However, the Taoist sect rarely concern itself with worldly dynasties, yet today there are five of them at the Taoist temple.

Zhang Daoling, as the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, possessed strength far exceeding that of ordinary immortals.

“It’s so lively!”

The head of the Shangqing sect, Li Xuanyi, was an old Taoist priest with a full head of white hair. He held a whisk in his hand and watched the scene before him with a smile on his face.

Yang Guang could not possibly be unfamiliar with them, and the other two need no further introduction; they were both very famous.

Strictly speaking, many Taoist temples and monasteries were destroyed by the evil spirit Zhenjun and Zigu Goddess.

At this moment, all the immortals from the nine branches of the Taoist sect have gathered together. If they unite, with the support of Taoist secret techniques, they are no less powerful than the great mortal gods.

The Evil Spirit True Lord chuckled coldly, abandoning his plan to join forces with the Purple Maiden Goddess to besiege Yang Guang.

"What are you doing, a bunch of old Taoist priests, not seeking enlightenment in your temples, but running around to our war-torn southwestern border region to cause trouble?"

"We have our own ideas, it's none of your business."

Zhang Wangzhi, the leader of Maoshan Sect, glanced at the Evil Spirit True Monarch, his tone utterly impolite.

The Evil Spirit Lord laughed heartily, surprisingly not angry: "Isn't what you cultivate about purity and non-action? To be detached from cause and effect?"

"Once you've landed here, you'll be entangled in the karma of this place. Can you, a bunch of insignificant immortals, bear that burden?"

"Whether you can bear it or not is not for you to decide. Mind your own business first," the Northern Sect leader said calmly.

The evil spirit clapped and laughed, "Good, good, good... You Taoists are indeed much more interesting than those bald monks."

In addition to Taoism, there were many Buddhist temples throughout history, but these temples retreated into the mountains and went into seclusion when they saw that chaos was about to break out.

They keep saying that Buddha saves all sentient beings, but when danger comes, they run away faster than anyone else.

Therefore, the Evil Spirit True Lord didn't have a good impression of those bald monks, but he did think highly of the Taoist sect.

At this moment, the four forces have gathered in Liangzhou, not for sightseeing, but because they have been drawn here by the battle in Liangzhou.

They each sat atop the mountain, their gazes piercing through layers of clouds and mist as they focused on the great battle raging in Liang City.

Yang Guang gazed at Lin Beixuan, who was fighting Dou Xingshen without being at a disadvantage, and said calmly, "That must be Lord Beiming. He looks quite young!"

"That Prince Liang is your uncle, don't you intend to help Liangzhou?"

"Why save him?" Yang Guang turned his head to look at the Evil Spirit True Lord: "From the moment he dared to defy the Emperor's decree and privately build an army, he was no longer my royal uncle."

"Even if Lord Beiming doesn't kill him, I won't let him go."

"I just didn't expect that Lord Jin of the Northern Underworld would act so quickly, reaching Liang City in just a few days." Yang Guang's breathing became slightly rapid as he said this.

From the moment Lin Beixuan launched his attack, Yang Guang received news that the enemy was going to attack Liangzhou. He originally thought that even if they were fast, it would take them at least a month to take Liangzhou, but he did not expect it to take less than ten days.

From Xushui City all the way to Liangchen, regardless of the distance in between, the fact that they conquered cities and seized territory every time was enough to shock people with the fighting power of the Beiming Army.

Such an army, combined with Lin Beixuan's personal martial prowess, is fully capable of threatening him.

Each of the four factions, with their own agendas, watched the battle in Liang City.

With a loud 'boom', the gates of Liangcheng were breached, and countless Northern Underworld soldiers poured into Liangcheng through the gates.

Upon seeing this, Yang Guang's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

He wasn't concerned about Yang Li's life or death, but Liangzhou ultimately belonged to the territories of past dynasties, and the fact that it had been forcibly seized by Lin Beixuan, an outsider, made him somewhat uncomfortable.

However, at that moment, a whooshing sound suddenly rang in Yang Guang's ears, and several of his personal immortals suddenly sprang up, trying to block the newcomer.

However, how could a mortal immortal stop a great mortal god? Ah Xiang and the old eunuch of the Lingtai Bureau were immediately sent flying by a wave of Zigu Goddess's hand. Only the head of the night watchman's office stood tall and stood expressionless behind Yang Guang, intending to use his body to block Zigu Goddess's attack for Yang Guang.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Guang pushed aside the head of the night watchman's office and stood within the range of Zi Gu's divine power.

He sneered, "I was just looking for a place to vent my anger, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"

As she spoke, the boundless purple aura around her transformed into a giant dragon that roared and flew out, colliding with the divine power of the Goddess Zigu.

As soon as he made his move, everyone immediately recognized Yang Guang's strength.

He wasn't the Great Luo Immortal one might imagine; he was merely a Human Immortal about to enter the Great Luo realm.

But at this moment, the aura emanating from Yang Guang was in no way inferior to that of the Goddess Zigu.

With the blessing of the Ziwei Dragon Qi, Yang Guang carries the fortune of each dynasty. Although the current dynasties have greatly weakened, as long as the dynasties still exist, he remains the monarch of a country. All evils retreat and all laws cannot invade him. Even a powerful goddess like Zigu is still affected by this rule.

Seeing the sudden attack from Zigu, the Evil Spirit True Lord laughed loudly: "You really were persuaded by me!"

The pale ghostly domain spread rapidly, and the power belonging to the Evil Spirit True Lord's domain instantly enveloped the entire space.

Strange, large hands appeared in the void, reaching out to grab Yang Guang and Zi Gu while they were fighting.

It was at this moment that Zhang Daoling and the others made their move.

Li Xuanyi, the head of the Shangqing Sect, angrily rebuked, "Do you really think my Daoist sect is just for show?"

Nine figures stood in peculiar positions, and a profound aura rose from their bodies, actually evolving into a sacrificial domain similar to that of a great deity.

Within this realm, thunder rumbled, sword shadows swirled, and yin and yang energies swirled, with talismans and Daoist scriptures appearing... as if the power of the gate had been combined together, instantly forming a grand Daoist array.

Unable to get involved, Ah Xiang and the others turned their attention to the two guardian deities brought by Zi Gu.

In an instant, countless forces converged and collided in this small Liangzhou area, and the falling snowflakes were blown away by the rising force before they could even fall.

Lin Beixuan turned his gaze towards the direction of the Evil Spirit True Monarch and the others, seemingly lost in thought.

"You dare to get distracted while fighting me?"

Dou Xingshen threw a punch, and the destruction of Liangcheng made his face extremely ugly. Starlight shone around him, and his power was more than twice as strong as before, so much so that Lin Beixuan no longer dared to take a punch head-on.

"I'm not going to waste any more time with you here!"

Lin Beixuan's gaze was icy, and endless calamity surged on the demonic sword, its overflowing power annihilating all matter around it.

In an instant, the curtain of the sky fell.

Beneath the setting sun, an enormous sword shadow descended upon Dou Xing Shen.

"Come on, come on!"

The Star God spoke three words in a row, and the divine power surging around him resembled a huge star radiating divine light.

The divine might was like a prison; the people around Liangcheng felt the sky suddenly darken, and the great city, inhabited by millions of people, began to tremble.

After entering the city, the Beiming army headed straight for the Liang Prince's residence.

The four guardian spirits had already cleared the way ahead, using illusions to disperse the crowds in the city, allowing them to return to their homes and lock their doors and windows.

As for those who continued to linger on the streets because they thought they had some skill, they ignored them, because no one could withstand the onslaught of the Northern Dark Army for more than a few breaths.

"Boom!"

The enormous sword shadow collided with the stars, as Lin Beixuan and the Star God had unleashed their divine power to the fullest extent.

[You made contact with and fought against the Star God, successfully obtaining the Fate Fragment - Qi Chong Dou Xie (3/3) from him]

A notification popped up in his mind, and Lin Beixuan felt it was about time. He then looked at a certain spot in the void beside him.

"You've been watching for so long, it's your turn!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a dragon's roar echoed out.

Upon hearing the sound, Dou Xingshen's expression changed. He looked in the direction from which the dragon's roar came, and saw a gigantic dragon of unknown size tearing through space.

With his arrival, a fierce wind howled across the battlefield, and fireballs rolled, instantly drying up the land that had been dampened by rain and snow.

"Kang Jinlong!"

Dou Xingshen's face twisted as he roared at the suddenly appearing Great Mortal God.

Although both are among the twenty-eight constellations of mortal gods, it does not mean that they have a good relationship.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions are divided into seven mansions of the Azure Dragon in the East, seven mansions of the Black Tortoise in the North, seven mansions of the White Tiger in the West, and seven mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the South.

The seven eastern constellations include Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, and Winnowing Basket.

These are the Horned Wood Dragon, the Neck Gold Dragon, the Root Earth Sable, the Room Sun Earth, the Heart Moon Fox, the Tail Fire Tiger, and the Winnowing Basket Water Leopard.

Kang Xingshen is a member of the Seven Mansions of the East, so he is naturally closer to the other mortal gods of the Seven Mansions of the East, but his relationship with Dou Xingshen, who comes from the Seven Mansions of the Northern Black Tortoise, is not so good.

Therefore, Kang Xingshen did not hesitate or hesitate at all when he attacked Dou Xingshen.

The Kang Su Canglong sacrificial altar descended from the sky, and the power of the Kang Xing God, along with Lin Beixuan's Azure Sky Sword Shadow, pressed down on the Dou Xing God.

Dou Xingshen was furious and shouted, "You actually helped an outsider to deal with me, a fellow Deity!"

Kang Xingshen showed no remorse whatsoever; he simply continued to strengthen his power.

He perched atop the demonic sword, each of his dragon claws gripping a pair of wind and fire orbs, making the sword even sharper, and began to penetrate the stars formed by the divine power of the Star God.

“My Eastern Seven Mansions and your Northern Seven Mansions don’t have much of a relationship. If you want to say this, say it to your Northern Mansion God.”

Kang Xingshen firmly sided with Lin Beixuan this time.

After spending some time with Lin Beixuan, he finally understood. As someone who knew a little about this grand scheme of things, Kang Xingshen had a vague idea of ​​what Lin Beixuan might represent.

The Heavenly Gang Venerable is helping the other side, the Yin Yang Mystic Official is helping the other side, the Spirit Pivot Great Sage is also helping the other side, and even the Guanghan Immortal Lord and the Illusion Heart Divine Lord are secretly paying attention to it.

The former God of the Stars failed to see this, so he was imprisoned in the Outer Heaven by the Heavenly Venerable for reflection.

Now that he has come to his senses, he naturally understands why the Great Sage Ling Shu and Venerable Tian Gang arranged for him to become Lin Beixuan's mount.

In order to mend the relationship between the two parties, he had to show his sincerity.

Sorry, bro!

Kang Xingshen thought to himself that his power had increased even more.

blah blah...

The vast star was finally pierced through by the shadow of the demonic sword, and the divine realm sacrificial ground of the Star God was shattered with a crash, along with his body, which was also pierced through by the sword.

As the strange phenomena in the world disappeared, Lin Beixuan's body returned to its original size. He slowly walked to the heavily injured Dou Xingshen and spoke indifferently.

"You call me a demon, but do you know why I came to Liangzhou?"

"As a deity, you should know about 'doors'!"

Upon hearing the word "door," Dou Xingshen's pupils contracted, and he looked up in astonishment.

Lin Beixuan continued, "A Divine Abyss Gate has appeared in Liangzhou. I originally wanted Yang Li to discuss with me how to deal with this gate, but he refused."

"Shenyuan!" Dou Xingshen's thoughts seemed to return to that earth-shattering battle hundreds of years ago.

He naturally knew what the Divine Abyss Gate represented; it was because of this gate that the Wall Star God and the Room Star God among the Seven Mansions of the North perished.

As he gradually realized what was going on, Dou Xingshen couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of Liang Wang's mansion.

"This idiot!"
