demise.

Specifically, it can be divided into "internal Zen" and "external Zen".

"Internal abdication" refers to an emperor relinquishing the throne to someone of the same surname, while "external abdication" refers to an emperor abdicating the throne to someone of a different surname.

Within the shattered blessed land, Jiang He separated the fate and destiny of the Nanzhao imperial throne, and a golden dragon roared out and poured into the Demon Lord's body.

If it were an external ceremony, such a ritual would require the approval of heaven and earth. However, Jiang Shendao and Jiang He are of the same clan and surname in a certain sense, so "private exchange" is sufficient and perfectly natural.

The moment he ascended the throne.

Demon Lord Jiang Shendao began to unite with the Dao of Nanzhao Prefecture.

At this moment, the Great Dao City was under the watchful eyes of heaven and earth. Countless gazes, some subtle, some filled with awe, and some with envy, were cast upon it. What shocked all those who had attained the Dao and merged with the Dao was that two people were simultaneously attempting to break through to the fifteenth realm, and they were even heading straight for the perfection of the fifteenth realm.

"Ordinary fifteenth realm beings might have some hope of fighting if all parties in the human world cooperated, but a patriarch-level being is already invincible."

"Whoever takes the first step wins."

In the blessed land of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon Lord arrived high in the sky, his spirit and energy rising. He looked down at Lu Mingyan and said:

"I am grateful to the Sect Master for taking action to stop Dijiang. Firstly, I have lost the rise of the demon race, and as the number one human, the Sect Master will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt. Secondly, I have prepared a generous gift: the sun and moon of the seventy-two blessed lands in the mortal realm. After my advancement, they will all belong to the Sect Master, as witnessed by my rank."

To swear an oath to a position of authority, the consequence of breaking it is the loss of favor, the extent of which depends on the circumstances and the level of the person to whom the oath was made.

Lu Zhenhuang and Lu Mingyan, one tall and one short, turned back to look at Jiang He with lingering reluctance, as if parting with an unparalleled delicacy.

"I agreed."

boom!
Two figures materialized into the sun and moon, reaching the clouds above and sweeping across the earth below. Two streams of light, one gold and one silver, intertwined and burst forth from the sky. The core blessed land of the Yin clan exploded directly, and an abyss rushed out towards the Dijiang River, thousands of miles away, with unstoppable power.

High in the sky, Dijiang was much stronger than before, and upon seeing this, he merely gave a cold smile.

The Heavenly Gang Fruit Position [Turning Rivers and Stirring Seas] in his hand was activated.

This path to enlightenment seems to lean towards rivers and seas, but in terms of specialization, it is far inferior to pushing mountains and filling seas. Its essence lies in "reversal" and "disorder." The path to enlightenment is [difficult to be like water], and its effect is "turning against each other."

Wow!
The sun and moon split apart.

Lu Zhenhuang suddenly turned around and unleashed a Bright Moon spell. Dozens of silver moon wheels, resembling mountains, flew out and shredded the surrounding mountains and forests. Strands of moonlight flowed with extreme sharpness, turning the golden sun into dust.

The next moment, the countless points of light reassembled, and Lu Mingyan manifested a blazing sun that eclipsed the heavens, cooking Lu Zhenhuang to death on the spot. The two fought back and forth, giving their all, all for the sake of that one true self. Failure would be tantamount to annihilation, which was far more important than anything else.

Seeing that the Grand Dao Sect Master was of no use.

Demon Lord Jiang Shendao showed no surprise.

A tiny dragon flew out from his sleeve; it was only the size of a palm, yet it possessed a unique majesty.

“Brother, back in the blessed land of the gods, I obtained the true name of the last true dragon in the human world—the Holy Dragon. I suspect that Dijiang stole the Great Master’s position as a Great Immortal Soldier.”

Jiang He stood out from the air. Zhuang Ya did not yet have the realm to contain the name of [True Dragon], but he could, achieving the title of "Undying Divine Lord of the Battle Pivot," which, according to the judgment of the Nine Provinces, would undoubtedly be the Dao Integration.

In an instant, the name of the True Dragon was imprinted on Jiang He's chest. The whole process was incredibly smooth, and the True Dragon showed no sign of resistance. Jiang He's eyes were black and white, and the Candle Dragon bloodline perfectly accommodated it.

Demon Lord Jiang Shendao couldn't help but sigh. He had indeed prepared some methods to deal with Dijiang, but no matter how unexpected they were, none of them were as useful as his cousin. Only when they actually fought did he truly appreciate the value of a top-tier support.

Just the blink of an eye.

A thousand miles away, Dijiang's rising cultivation level came to an abrupt halt.

The eight-headed Dao-merging demon in the human realm needs five true names to ensure the "majority".

When the White Emperor and his wife transformed into righteous gods, the Buddha and the evil spirit abandoned the Heavenly Turtle, and the five great demons of the human world merged with the Dao, he only needed three true names to attempt to advance.

But now, the Great Demon of the Dao, the True Dragon, has been born.

The number of Great Demons who have attained the Dao in the human realm has increased to six. To ensure the "majority," it is necessary to master four of their true names.

Therefore, Dijiang's promotion was interrupted at this moment, but his eyes remained arrogant, showing no sign of panic.

"Demon Lord, is this all you've got?"

A fierce wind swept outwards, igniting a raging storm, and the world seemed to darken for a moment.

A series of spatial turbulence surged from Dijiang's body. Then, he struck his forehead with a palm, committing suicide or killing the part of himself that belonged to Dijiang.

From then on, the great demon Emperor Jiang was no more in the human world.

Having lost his true name [Dijiang], he was forced to reveal his original form.

Lu Zhenhuang and Lu Mingyan, who were engaged in battle, couldn't help but glance sideways. Even the Demon Lord himself was somewhat surprised. He really didn't expect that Dijiang would reduce the number of great demons in the human world back to five through suicide.

But the next moment, the Demon Lord was dumbfounded.

[Dijiang] charged towards Jiang He with his true name. In terms of spatial authority, there was no one in the entire Kyushu world who could surpass him, so his favor was inevitable.

[Hint: Your spatial authority has been upgraded to the sub-mythical level]
Dijiang: "..."

No, buddy?
"Keep playing," Jiang He said approvingly.

He couldn't make a move right now because the world was still after him, but he did get a good meal from the two of them. The two Dao-Merging True Names would normally require a tremendous amount of effort to obtain.

"Once I advance to level fifteen, you'll be the first person I kill."

Dijiang glared at Jiang He with hatred, choosing to accept the true name of the [Heavenly Turtle] that the Buddha and the evil spirit had separated. The other party's existence had disrupted his rhythm and prematurely exposed a key backup plan. Even if it was no longer Dijiang, the [Demon] could still devour the true name, provided that there was no such strong attraction.

He really didn't want to lose his spatial authority.

The next moment, Dijiang charged towards the fifteenth realm of perfection once again.

"Demon Lord, how was this move?" At the same time, the boundless sea outside Zhongzhou churned endlessly.

Despite losing its true name, the preparations made beforehand did not affect the fact that the vast Northwest Demon Continent began to move. Under the power of space and the edict of the token, the Northwest Demon Continent moved south and entered the Thunderstorm Forbidden Zone at an unbelievable speed.

The Western Huangzhou, located in the western part of Kyushu, has now disappeared. The vacancy has drawn the Northwest Demon State to come, hoping to make up for the loss. However, the problem is that the original site of the Western Huangzhou is now filled with thunderstorms that have enraged the entire Kyushu world.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Throughout the Central Plains, the deafening roar of endless thunder destroying the Northwest Demon State could be heard. In a remote corner of the mountains, the great demon in black robes sighed softly and sat there, perishing. Di Jiang had ruthlessly destroyed an entire state; no one knew how long he had been planning this beforehand.

Thus, the Demon Lord now controls four continents.

The intensity of the confrontation between Lu Mingyan and Lu Zhenhuang has significantly decreased. The Demon Lord is about to be defeated, and they must leave first to avoid being punished by Dijiang.

"You are incredibly audacious."

In the blessed land of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon Lord looked up at the sky. The sea of ​​clouds was dark, and the power of world correction was about to descend.

"No madness, no life!"

Dijiang, with a resolute expression, raised the token of the Heavenly Lord with one hand.

Golden rays of light vanished from the token. The ancient celestial ruler and the evil god from beyond the realm perished together, and the immense merit of protecting the world was largely consumed at this moment.

Dijiang stopped, and was about to turn around and mock him, but he found that the Demon Lord was still advancing and had not failed because of the destruction of the Northwest Demon State. His expression became suspicious.

"What did you do?!"

Demon Lord Jiang Shendao laughed and said, "Like you, of the nine provinces under heaven, I need to unite with the majority, that is, five provinces."

"Wu Yang destroyed Xihuang Prefecture before, leaving eight prefectures in the world. You then destroyed the Northwest Demon Prefecture, reducing it to seven prefectures. In this way, I only need four to achieve the Dao. I admit you put in a lot of effort, but it is undeniable that it was useless."

Dijiang chuckled for a long time, then said listlessly, "Is it the darkest place under the lamp?"

“Indeed.” Demon Lord Jiang Shendao said seriously, “You may not have thought of this, but I couldn’t gamble, so in the end I used the darkest place under the lamp.”

As they spoke, both of them vaguely glimpsed the scenery of the fifteenth realm, which was far superior to that of the fourteenth realm in the human world.

Suddenly, Dijiang unleashed his divine power [Turning Rivers and Seas].

—[Difficult to be like water], turned against each other.

Demon Lord Jiang Shendao shuddered, as if an invisible string had snapped. His various Dao Integration clones lost control one by one. At the critical moment, he had already activated [Darkness Under the Lamp] for a final gamble. [Stand at Attention Without Shadow] had long since replaced [Wandering God Controlling Qi] as his Heavenly Gang position. Moreover, when Emperor Jiang first activated his position to attack the Great Dao Sect Master, he was already on guard against "turning against him".

[Darkness Under the Lamp] allowed each clone to temporarily forget about escaping control, but only for a moment.

Whoosh whoosh!
The three Great Continents Hearts burst forth from the shadows, merging into the Demon Lord's body as he ascended to the heavens. However, the thoughts of Mo Pao, Zong Zheng, Changsun, and others surged in his mind, causing his face to alternate between pale and flushed. He had to devote a great deal of energy to regaining control of himself.

Seeing that the Demon Lord was about to fail, Jiang He raised a white light in his palm, which was the destiny and fate of him to devour Xihuang Prefecture.

boom!
The white light instantly struck Dijiang.

"You little bastard, what have you done!"

Dijiang's expression changed as a familiar feeling arose.

"I suppose you're just kidding," Jiang He said calmly.

Boom boom boom!
Nine judgments descended upon the world of Kyushu, and the sword of correction shot forth.

Dijiang could only raise the token and exhaust his merits, but three corrective swords still pierced his heart, throat, and abdomen. Although not fatal, they were still serious injuries.

Emperor Jiang, the Demon Lord, suffered damage almost simultaneously.

Suddenly, more than a dozen dazzling rainbow lights rose into the sky, heading straight for the Heavenly Court.

I already support the six righteous gods of Dijiang: water, fire, thunder, plague, battle, and blessing.

They reached an agreement and prepared to advance to the fifteenth realm. The Lotus Monk, the Lord of Nine Hells, and the Buddha's Evil Thoughts.

Zongzheng and Changsun, seeking revenge.

Dijiang no longer targets the Great Demon Queen, but instead sides with the Heavenly Dog and Tai Sui, who are on the side of the demon race.

Thirteen powerful Dao-level beings ascended to heaven together, surrounding the Buddha and the evil spirit in the center. The person holding the evil spirit held a book, which was none other than the Great Master's high-ranking immortal soldier.

At that moment, the Demon Lord's pupils constricted slightly.

Dijiang, the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, secretly connected with all the Dao-Merging beings in the world. The thirteen Dao-Merging beings were enough to render any plan a mere pipe dream. This was absolute power.

"The Great Master's attainment is [Returning Heaven and Reversing the Sun]. The Great Immortal Soldier should still have the power to strike again and recreate the past scene."

The Demon Lord said with utmost seriousness, "Dijiang and the others are determined to fight in Douzhou. When the three patriarchs of the three religions and the four evil ones go to war, the Master's words will become law—Buddha unites with the five states."

“Buddha and evil spirits are still Buddha. Once the old rules reappear, he will unite with the five continents, but I have no large continent to unite with. Undoubtedly, I will suffer the most complete defeat.”

"This is the worst-case scenario, and it's the deal I just discussed with you. These great immortal weapons in the hands of Dao-Merging cultivators... Jiang Wuyang?"

The Demon Lord was startled. Jiang Wuyang was no longer around. He was too nervous to notice.

……

Beyond the heavens, in a void with only a few twinkling stars, Jiang He appeared in the ancient heavenly court, where thirteen Dao Integration Realm experts were attacking.

"Ah."

As if hearing the Demon Lord's voice, Jiang He casually said:

"I have reached the heavens beyond the heavens, so go all out."
