Yinshan Record

Chapter 98 The Moment of Decision
The profound demonic thoughts are as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, covering everything above, below, and in all directions.

Six emerald green eyes floated above the yellow sky, layers of darkness piled upon each other, like a great sun, its dark light blazing, swallowing up the magnificent scenery of the yellow sky and the towering palaces, leaving only the shadowy figures.

Narayana, the most terrifying Lord of the End Times in this world, has quietly descended.

Wow, this is quite a big one.

Yu Lizi used a secret technique of the Xuanmen sect to purify his mind and eliminate all chaotic thoughts.

When facing a powerful demonic sect at the level of the Lord of the End of Dharma, any doubt, confusion, or vain thought in one's heart can become a tool for the opponent to attack one's mind and spirit, and the slightest carelessness will result in eternal damnation.

Despite Huang Tiandao's secret method of warding off demons, Yu Lizi's vital energy, like a floodgate opened, inevitably poured out towards the center of his six emerald eyes.

"How fortunate I am to have the mighty and fearless Heavenly Demon King descend to the mortal realm!"

The Demonic Sect originated from the Primordial Demon Lord and has its own laws and regulations. Within the sect, a first-rank expert has two titles: those who come from the extraterrestrial demon race are called the Lord of the End of Law, while those who come from beings within the realm are called the Free Demon.

The Lord of the End of Dharma and the Free and Unfettered Demon each have different titles.

In the unique language of the demonic sect, "Narayana" means "strong and powerful" or "indestructible". In this world, demonic cultivators respectfully call him "the mighty and fearless Heavenly Demon King".

His ferocity was renowned, and his infamy was widespread; every cultivator aspiring to immortality was familiar with him. This overlord of the extraterrestrial demon race had lingered in this place for an unknown period before finally seizing the opportune moment to strike.

The landscape of the Yellow Sky gradually evolved into clusters of darkness, with only the spiritual light at the positions of the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger resembling a flickering candle in the long night, swaying yet stubbornly undying.

"Fearless God, how does it feel to be a direct descendant of this sect?"

"Compared to those from back then, it's not bad at all. It's been a long time since I've tasted this good."

Beneath the vast sky, amidst layers of celestial energy, this place was not the ideal battlefield for the Lord of the End of Dharma, who led the Boundless Extraterrestrial Demons. However, his unparalleled cultivation alone rendered all of this meaningless.

"Hahahaha, I originally planned to offer Huang Tiandao's disciples and Shenxiao Dao's immortals as sacrifices to the fearless Heavenly Lord. Who knew that the Daoist sect would be so cowardly, only sending a few small fish and shrimp who have not yet achieved immortality to take the blame."

The Tathagata had been planning this for a long time, so how could he not have foreseen the possibility of various creditors blocking the road?
He had long ago secretly colluded with the Mighty and Fearless Heavenly Demon King, his greatest rival on his path of cultivation, and allowed this Lord of the End of Dharma to roam outside the void of this world, waiting for an inside-outside collaboration to present all his past deeds to the Heavenly Demon King.

The so-called thirteen locations, the remains in the Mysterious Mountain, and the division of demonic thoughts are all just illusions set up by the Green Lion.

It was a bit of a disappointment that Qing Shi only caught one fish, Yu Lizi, today.

With a flick of his whisk, Yu Lizi's star-shaped crown vanished, and a surge of primordial yellow energy erupted from behind his head.

The majestic palaces amidst the layers of yellow sky are precisely the manifestation of the foundation of the Yu Lizi Dao.

The so-called foundation of the Way is the most basic demonstration of a practitioner's cultivation, how well you have mastered the laws and regulations, and what your foundation of cultivation is, which you present to the world in a righteous and open manner.

In ancient times, there were no ranks in the cultivation world; evaluation was based on the foundation of one's cultivation.

You have three flowers gathered on your head, and I have five vital energies rising from my chest. Let's not talk about who's the eldest or second eldest; we're not that different.

Jingxing, Qingyun, Qinglian...

Amidst the primordial chaos, a three-tiered, exquisite pagoda appeared and disappeared.

The appearance of this pagoda brought peace to the earth, water, fire, and wind, and balanced yin and yang. Although the entire landscape of the Yellow Heaven was irreversibly turning into darkness, this exquisite pagoda was like a solitary lamp in the long night.

"Yu Lizi, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Huang Tiandao to send you support? Do you know that the countless followers under the Fearless Heavenly Lord are leading the Heavenly Demons to attack the various sects that you can hope to receive support from?"

The Azure Lion roared with delight as it ascended step by step onto its black lotus platform, reaching straight into the heavens.

Single layer, double layer, triple layer.

Yu Lizi struggled to maintain his position under the influence of demonic intent. With no one else to hinder Qing Shi from ascending to the outer realm of the Nine Heavens, the closer he got to the outer realm, the darker the demonic intent around him became.

"Alas, only after shattering mountains and rivers do I realize who I truly am!"

With a long roar, the Azure Lion had already reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm. One step forward would allow him to achieve the Heavenly Demon Path and roam freely beyond the realm.

Beneath the three-story exquisite pagoda, most of the lightning in Yu Lizi's eyes dissipated, leaving behind a deep, dark demonic intent that chilled the heavens.

"May I ask, senior, who reigns supreme atop the heavens—the former Azure Lion of the East Sea, or the puppet in Luo Yan's hand today?"

The blue lion remained silent, and the lotus platform continued to ascend.

"This has nothing to do with you. Take care of yourself."

He glanced pityingly at Huang Tiandao's retreating figure, then went straight into the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, only a hair's breadth away from the outer reaches of the Nine Heavens Domain. "Take care..."

Yu Lizi moved and bowed with both hands toward the six Yin Magic Eyes in the center of Huang Tian.

"The five desires and six senses all return to a single thought of spiritual emptiness. Free and unfettered, one becomes supreme in the three realms. I beseech the Demon Lord!"

Above the Yellow Heaven, between the vast demonic intent and the Yellow Heaven, in the direction of the Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the south, there were flashes of spiritual light at seven locations: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, and Chariot.

A dark, demonic fire, chilling the heavens and sealing away divine senses, was drawn from the south.

This demon lord's power and ferocity were no different from the fearless demon lord. The Tathagata, complete with a lion and a blue lotus, was burned by this demonic fire and then fell from the Nine Heavens.

Having been thwarted by Yu Lizi time and again, and now being pulled down at the crucial moment when success was within reach, even with the Buddha-like temperament of Shi Zi Qinglian, he was burning with anxiety and restless.

“Yu Lizi, I will surely corrupt you and make you my family, so that you will never be free.”

High in the sky, Yu Lizi, with the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda above his head, responded with a cold laugh.

"This is a genuine attack from the Fearless Demon Lord. If I were you, I would rather look inward and avoid becoming someone's puppet after you ascend to the outer realms, ending up with nothing."

Upon hearing this, Qing Shi was taken aback. He calmed his mind and slowly sensed the surroundings, only to discover that there were indeed traces of impurities in his Dao foundation.

These flaws and impurities have a hint of that old friend's flavor.

Narayana, the Lion-Lotus-Full Tathagata, sneered inwardly, thinking, "This one is truly the Demon Lord."

"Junior."

The Lord of the End of Dharma, who had been firmly seated in the central palace, finally emitted a trace of demonic thought.

Why sow discord?

Yu Lizi looked up at the sky above, where the Yellow Heaven Dao Foundation he had manifested had become the basis and springboard for the Lord of the End of Dharma to transform this world. That powerful demonic sect was using his methods to gradually evolve this heavenly domain toward the outer void.

That is also the environment in which the divine powers of a Lord of the End Times can be best displayed.

"I have some idea of ​​what the Demon Lord seeks."

Yu Lizi smiled and said, "If I may ask the Demon Lord a question, did this lion, who was willing to give up its Buddhist cultivation for the Demon Lord's reference, ask the original master in the Lingjiu Temple?"

Huang Tiandao laughed as he walked.

There's a saying I really like: "When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

Then twenty-eight beams of spiritual light shone brightly.

The surrounding void trembled.

Yu Lizi tossed the Xuan Gui in his hand into the air.

"please"

In the void, Xuan Gui transformed into a golden lotus.

An illusory image of an ancient Buddha appeared from the stamen of the golden lotus.

“Excellent, excellent, it has been a long time, Lion-Lotus Tathagata.”

"Amoghasiddhi Buddha!"

Amidst the flower's heart, an old monk, clad in a black robe and with a thick, bushy tuft of hair on his head, appeared somewhat sleazy, yet exuded an air of righteousness.

Behind him were seven halos of light, each a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. He held prayer beads in his hand, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.

This high-ranking Buddhist monk traversed the void and arrived from Lingjiu Temple.

A dragon's roar echoed across the sky, and a black dragon, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, meandered from the void.

On the dragon's head, a Taoist priest with the appearance of a young man gazed at the layers of demonic tide and uttered thunderous sounds.

"Narayana, my unworthy disciple is grateful for your care."
