Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Perhaps because the rebel army was about to attack the city, Danyang City appeared heavily guarded from afar. Atop the city walls stood a dense, dark column of Sui soldiers, while countless civilians lined up in a long queue below.

Under questioning by the guards, they were allowed into the city little by little. Judging from the situation, it seemed that Leon would have to wait until late morning to enter the city.

Therefore, Leon abandoned his intention to enter the city, turned around and bypassed Danyang City, continuing northward.

For several days in a row, Leon traveled during the day and stayed overnight in any villages he came across. If there were no people around, Leon would sleep in the wilderness.

As evening fell, a sudden downpour began from the gloomy sky. The rain was heavy and dense, and Leon found a valley nearby and took shelter there.

Using the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, Leon lit a fire nearby, bringing long-lost light to the cold cave.

The air gradually became moist, and the fragrance of grass and trees could be smelled. Although the rain came suddenly, it also went away very quickly.

Leon went straight out of the valley and walked to a secluded place. He said loudly, "Since you've been watching for so long, why don't you come out and meet me?"

For a long time, no one responded, only the mountain wind howled incessantly, as if mocking Leon for being foolish in this desolate place.

Leon sneered and continued, "You've come all this way and have been spying on me for so long. Are you some cowardly coward?"

That was a bit too much. If there were really anyone around, they probably would have jumped out long ago after being pointed at by Leon and scolded. But there wasn't a single person in sight.

"Heh, I never expected that the mighty Evil Emperor would be such a coward. What a disappointment."

Leon shook his head and turned to head back into the valley.

"blow,"

As if the wind was blowing, a figure suddenly appeared on a boulder about three zhang away from Leon.

This person has a unique and unusual appearance. His face is wide and long, and his high forehead and upturned chin give him a majestic appearance.

His eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all had a robust quality, as if carved from granite. His long eyes carried a mocking smile, revealing both his cynical nature and his arrogant arrogance that looked down on all living beings.

Standing tall and still at one end of the boulder, he exuded an air of dominance and self-assurance. His broad shoulders and thick scapulae accentuated the shape of his tight-fitting black suit, and his handsome face and physique complemented each other, giving him a unique and slightly sinister aura.

Upon seeing the newcomer appear, Leon narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and an aura emanating from him. He seemed to be on par with the Evil Emperor, who was subtly at a disadvantage.

The Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian maintained a calm expression on his face, but inwardly, a raging storm was brewing within him.

This was simply impossible. In his eyes, someone of Leon's level, even with his eyes closed, would only have a vague sense of things ten feet away.

But they probably won't be able to find him.

Little did they know, this was the hidden effect of Leon wearing the mask of philosophy. If Leon hadn't deliberately revealed his strength, no one would have been able to see through his true power, no matter how they guessed.

Moreover, Xiang Yutian, the Evil Emperor, could not sense even the slightest bit of powerful aura from Leon. The fact that he was hiding his strength truly shocked him.

"Kid, how did you find me?"

Xiang Yutian spoke up, and his voice carried a strange power that made Leon frown.

"I was just saying it casually, who knew you were actually hiding nearby."

After Leon finished speaking, he revealed a carefree and unrestrained smile.

"Oh?"

A slow smile appeared on Xiang Yutian's masculine face.

"It seems that I, an old man, have been out of the martial world for so long, have actually been fooled by such tricks."

The voice of the Evil Emperor towards Yu Tian had a bewitching effect. If it weren't for Leon, but someone else talking to him, their consciousness would have been controlled by him long ago.

However, he encountered Leon.

Chapter 256, The Evil Emperor's Relic, Jingnian Temple. (Third update, please update as desired)

"Hmph, he's just someone with the cultivation level to shatter the void, what's so special about that!"

Leon snorted coldly and sat down on a large rock with a grim expression.

Just now, he fought the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian to a draw. In the Tang Dynasty, Xiang Yutian was already the strongest person, possessing an exceptionally powerful Dao-Planting Heart Demon Technique, while his cultivation had already shattered the void.

If Leon hadn't worn the mask and relied on its added power, he probably wouldn't have been able to do much to him.

After a fierce battle, Xiang Yutian was frozen by Leon's Ice Dragon Slayer Magic, baked by the Flame-Flame Fruit, and even subjected to the Myriad Swords Formation of the Sword Flight Technique.

Leon, caught off guard, was struck by Xiang Yutian's palm. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Xiang Yutian used his movement technique to escape.

Leon did not give chase. Although he could kill Xiang Yutian, he would have to pay a price. Moreover, killing the strongest person in the Tang Dynasty world would cause huge changes!

……

Yang Gong's Treasure Trove.

Leon made his decision: he would use his points to exchange for temporary space magic in the God's Shop, travel through space directly to Yang Gong's Treasure Vault and Jingnian Temple, and directly plunder the remaining Evil Emperor's Relic and He Shi Bi.

Then they searched for Xiang Yutian, who was hiding, and killed him instantly!

How dare you fight me!

Leon spat out a mouthful of phlegm containing blood, his expression turning cold.

Exchange for temporary ultimate spatial magic, which can ignore any heavenly rules and break through spatial limitations, thereby reaching any place.

This single move cost Leon 300,000 points.

Ultimate spatial magic is extremely close to the laws of space. Perhaps for some reason, the laws cannot be exchanged, so Leon can only exchange for ultimate spatial magic.

"Hmph, wicked thoughts!"

Leon snorted coldly and successfully obtained the Evil Emperor's Relic from Yang Gong's Treasure Vault. However, the evil thoughts on it tried to invade Leon's mind but were dispelled by Leon's shock.

After obtaining the relic of the Evil Emperor, Leon looked up and gazed out of the Yang Gong Treasury, where he saw the Jingnian Zen Temple.

His figure then rippled like water before settling down and Leon vanished from the spot.

……

Jingnian Temple was located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang. Following the directions, it only took half a breath for Leon to see the magnificent temple located on the mountain.

"when!"

The melodious sound of bells echoed from the temple on the mountaintop.

Standing outside the temple gate, gazing at this Zen monastery that is almost too large.

Putting everything else aside, just looking from this distance, Leon could see that the entire temple had more than a hundred buildings, resembling a small city, which showed just how wealthy the Buddhist community was.

Leaping over the high wall, Leon cautiously arrived at the top of the tall building where the massive bell weighing a thousand pounds was placed, and surveyed the surrounding area.

The main buildings of Jingnian Temple are arranged in sequence along the central axis facing the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the temple, forming a complete and uniform scale.

Except for a bronze hall, all the buildings are covered with tricolor glazed tiles, which look brand new. It is unclear whether this is because the monks in the temple clean diligently or because the tiles are of such quality.

The peacock blue in the tricolor is particularly dazzling.

One can imagine the dazzling scene under the sunlight.

The bell tower from which the bell tolls is located between the Bronze Hall and another main hall, but the distance between them is quite different, with the former being farther away and the latter closer.

In front of the bronze hall is a vast platform square, hundreds of feet wide, built of white stone and surrounded by white stone railings.

In the center of White Stone Square stands a bronze statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, riding on the back of a golden lion. The statue is about two zhang tall, and there are also statues of the Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds, namely Bhaisajyaguru, Shakyamuni, and Amitabha, next to the niche.

The painted sculptures and gold ornaments are quite impressive, but they also seem a bit out of step with the usual practices of temples.

The other buildings are arranged in an orderly manner around the main hall on the axis, separated by trees and roads, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjushri Buddha shrine in White Stone Square. The burning sandalwood emitted a lot of fragrance, which filled the entire space and calmed people's minds, creating an atmosphere of otherworldliness.

The chanting came from the main hall, which was only about ten feet away behind the bronze hall. There was not a single person in the rest of the temple, creating an atmosphere of mystery that made people dare not act rashly.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Three clear chimes echoed from the main hall where evening prayers were being held. The chanting abruptly ceased, and the entire monastery fell silent, save for the chirping of insects, which gradually filled the hilltop and the space of the temple.

The moonlight, like water, illuminated the glazed tile roof with shimmering reflections, and the large trees lining the paths inside and outside the temple cast their shadows onto the road, adding to the mystique and mystery of the monastery.

The white stone-paved square, bathed in moonlight, appeared exceptionally smooth; anyone stepping on it would be clearly visible.

Squeak,

The temple was wide open, and led by four monks dressed in blue robes, more than two hundred monks lined up in more than ten rows in the open space between Manjushri Bodhisattva and the bell tower, facing the Bodhisattva's shrine.

Despite the large number of people, there was not a sound, not even a breath.

Then, two heavy bronze doors, each ten feet tall, opened automatically without any wind, and a tall, handsome monk leisurely stepped out of the bronze hall and stood at the top of the white stone steps leading to the hall.

This person looks so young and handsome that he doesn't look more than forty years old.

His figure was tall and slender, with a straight nose, and the curved shape of his upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip further enhanced his indescribable charm.

What makes people unforgettable at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make everyone feel unpredictable and yet dare not underestimate him.

Leon naturally knew that this was Liaokong, who had cultivated the "silent meditation" and was also the guardian of the He Shi Bi jade, whose cultivation was unfathomable.

However, the moment the door opened, Leon sensed a slight "fluctuation." The feeling was fleeting, but it was enough for him to determine the location of the He Shi Bi jade inside the bronze hall!

That's enough. Knowing the location of the He Shi Bi, Leon naturally wouldn't hesitate. Although the two hundred monks, plus the four Vajra Guardians, looked incredibly imposing, in Leon's eyes, they combined were no match for Liao Kong.

"Stop me?"

"Leon murmured softly," he said, raising his hand and pointing to a large group of monks ahead.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in his pitch-black eyes, like the sun, moon, stars, and rivers turning, filled with killing intent!
