From the Valkyrie to the Endless

"Buddha of Infinite Life."

The majestic Buddhist chanting echoed in the sky above the imperial capital. The shadow of a golden Buddha appeared behind the old monk, nearly a thousand feet tall and with a strong aura.

In an instant, a heavy pressure like a mountain fell on the bodies of several gods and generals. They felt the extremely strong power of incense and vows from the old monk.

This old monk looked kind, but the aura he exuded gave them the feeling that he was even more terrifying than the Holy King of the Nine Netherworlds.

"What it is?"

"Has the Holy King appeared?"

"Is he a new general? Why is he bald?"

The sudden appearance of the golden Buddha above the sky caused countless discussions in the imperial capital.

There has never been any Buddhist or Taoist heritage on this planet. The appearance of the Golden Buddha is extremely unfamiliar to the world. People's first reaction is that it is a new god to fill the position of the Rain God.

"I'm Yunming, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist." The old monk held the Buddhist beads in his hand and bowed with one hand to greet him.

boom--

The sky and the earth suddenly darkened. The sky at noon darkened visibly. A dark figure over 2,000 feet tall appeared in the sky, looking down at the golden Buddha, and asked calmly:

"Why are you here?"

Hearing the word "Star", the eight generals who had been keeping their heads down in silence were all shocked.

This sentence is enough to show that the white-browed old monk in front of him is not from this planet, but a powerful alien who has crossed the starry sky.

The Guiyi Realm can barely cross the starry sky, but it is very dangerous. If you want to travel freely in the starry sky, only a True God-level strong man can do it, and it takes a very long time.

Generally speaking, traveling across a star field is done by teleporting spirit arrays, and the creatures have to rely on themselves to fly. Once their lifespan runs out, they may not be able to fly out of the star field they belong to.

The star field to which the star beneath their feet belongs no longer has any other stars for cultivation, so this old monk came from outside the field.

To be able to come here from outside the star field, this old monk's cultivation...

Several gods did not dare to think any more and kept their heads down in silence. The Holy King had revealed his Dharma body, which was an expression of his dissatisfaction. Perhaps today there might be a war that would affect the entire planet.

"My Buddhist sect wants to preach in this world. I am a preacher. I hope you can help me."

Yunming chanted the Buddha's name again in a calm tone.

"Your life span has ended, and you are hanging on by a ray of golden light from your merits. Does Buddhism have no one left? We sent you here to preach. Aren't you afraid that someone will take your relics?"

The Holy King Jiuyou stared at the old monk, trying to find some clues from his face.

To his disappointment, Yun Ming's eyes remained calm and gentle from beginning to end.

"I only ask for a small piece of land to build an ancient temple. I hope you can help me."

The phantom of the golden Buddha behind Yun Ming gradually dissipated, the whole person became silent, his back was hunched, and his aura weakened a lot, which undoubtedly showed his attitude.

Crossing the starry sky is a big burden for any cultivator. Just as Saint King Jiuyou said, his life span is coming to an end and he only has one breath left, and he is not far from death.

Even though his cultivation was already high enough to rival Acalanatha and he was a genuine god, he was now at the end of his rope.

"You humans are too greedy, wanting everything. Be careful of backlash."

Seeing Yun Ming lower his head, the Holy King dispersed his Dharma body, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression.

Among the six paths, only the human race is constantly trying to integrate the other five.

Buddhist incense, soldiers dismembering ghosts and immortals, half-demon bodies, magic soul refining, except for the holy spirits that were born and raised, which they cannot interfere with for the time being, the other four paths almost all have the shadow of the human race.

Among them, the ones that are most incompatible with Buddhism are undoubtedly the lineage of incense gods. They all rely on the incense and offerings of believers to survive, so it is normal for them to have disputes with each other.

Yun Ming shook his head without saying anything. After bowing, he stepped on the golden lotus and floated away.

He came here just to visit the strongest creature on this planet and say hello. If he didn't say anything, when the first Buddhist believer appeared, there would definitely be a fierce battle between him and Jiuyou. But now it can be avoided, and there is no need to commit murder in vain.

"Saint King, are you just going to let him preach like this?"

"The direction he was heading seemed to be the Southern Region."

After Yun Ming left, several gods looked up one after another, somewhat puzzled.

"He won't live long. After he dies, he can get a Buddhist Vajra body. Let him go."

The Nine Nether Saint King shook his head and said, "When he dies, the Buddhist lineage will be destroyed. It will be as if he has never been here. You all just keep an eye on him."

"promise."

Southern Region, Yunjing Prefecture, Haoyin City.

Amidst the white snow, Shen Qing sat cross-legged in the wilderness. Not far behind him, a raging fire was burning, and a shrine was gradually being burned down in the flames.

The god that was originally here had fallen at the entrance of the Snake Village. In order to prevent it from resurfacing, Shen Qing asked the people of the Snake Village to inquire for a while, and then find out where it was and wipe it out completely.

This deity is worshipped by people from several villages, with over a thousand followers, some of whom have some basic knowledge of spiritual practice.

However, this god obviously has no fanatical believers. No one is crazy enough to seek revenge on Shen Qing because of his death. They just quietly start looking for the next patron saint.

Shen Qing accepted all the suggestions and merged the people from these villages into the Snake Village and made them his believers.

After noticing the changes caused by killing the gods, Shen Qing injected all the incense and vows sealed in her own meridians into the sundial. As expected, she obtained a pure energy that could nourish her soul.

This sudden change undoubtedly completely changed Shen Qing's original plan. With the sundial, her physical body would never be her shortcoming. She originally wanted to find a secret book that focused on the soul, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

The sundial can isolate her from any impurities and pollution brought by the incense and vows, so that in the end, only pure energy will be left on her.

As long as the number of believers is large enough, the strength of her soul will have a qualitative leap.

At the same time, the growth of spiritual power will bring infinite benefits, and the speed of comprehending the spiritual patterns of heaven and earth will also be accelerated, saving a lot of time.

Shen Qing would certainly not let go of such a perfect opportunity. She has completely changed her plan. She wants to take advantage of the current chaos to attract more believers.

Even if she hides in the mountains to practice seclusion, she may not be able to protect herself. If she encounters a more powerful existence, she will still be very passive.

It is naturally better to hold the initiative in your own hands.

Not only this era, Shen Qing also has to consider the future. If she can have a more powerful cultivation before returning to the future this time, it will be of great help to her voice and safety in the present world.

For these reasons, Shen Qing has completely given up his plan of living in the mountains and watching the changes in the world.

Now, with only a thousand more believers, Shen Qing's soul strength has undergone fundamental changes, and even her cultivation has become faster. At this rate of progress, it won't be long before she can enter the late stage of Condensation Yuan and prepare to condense Gang Sha again.

After digesting the energy that continued to flow out of the sundial, Shen Qing slowly stood up and walked towards the direction of Haoyin City.

She didn't have the time to wait for those gods to come. Now chaos was raging, and gods from all sides were growing stronger and stronger, dividing up the legacy of the Rain God after his death. It would be better for her to take the initiative now.

If there is a place that knows the locations of nearby gods best, there is no other place except the City Lord's Mansion.

Just when he was twenty miles outside Haoyin City, Shen Qing sensed the surging vital energy between heaven and earth. The originally calm atmosphere between heaven and earth was all heading towards the direction of Haoyin City. This proved that creatures in the Gangsha Realm were fighting, and even mobilizing the vital energy of heaven and earth to fight.

Shen Qing did not retreat, but quickened his pace and headed towards Haoyin City.

Precisely because there were strong men fighting, she had to go and take a look at the situation. If Haoyin City was lost, she would have to consider her retreat.

…………

…………

The land outside the city is called the "wild land", where demons and monsters are rampant. The southern region today is completely different from what it used to be.

Above the boundless sky, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and the thick black clouds made it hard to breathe. Divine light and demonic energy blended together, surging in the void.

Two figures wrapped in positive magnetic and negative evil energy kept colliding in the sky, causing countless air explosions.

Shen Qing lay in a dense forest, looking at the two figures in the sky with his eyes slightly narrowed.

One of the two figures was Ji Yunxiao, the Lord of Haoyin City, and the other was a rare giant ferocious bird with cyan-gold feathers and lightning and fire wrapped around its body. When its wings spread, a storm followed it.

Ji Yunxiao was holding a three-foot-long green sword and clearly had the upper hand. Every time the sword collided with the wings of the ferocious bird, it would leave a sword mark on it.

In addition to the battlefield in the sky, a fierce fighting was also taking place in front of the city gate. At a glance, there were more than ten gods and their believers, numbering no less than tens of thousands.

Most of them are obscene and evil gods, rather than the righteous gods canonized by the imperial court. The origins of these evil gods are varied, including demons, monsters, and obsessions formed by overwhelming resentment. There are even living monks who have abandoned their physical bodies but retained their pure souls, living in clay bodies.

The remaining righteous gods also have ulterior motives. Most of them want to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit and see if they can win some believers for themselves.

Whether they were attacking or defending the city, they were all waiting for the outcome of the battle above their heads before deciding on their next move.

Although they seem to be fighting fiercely now, it is obvious that they are not using all the tricks they have kept, and the fight is mostly loud but with little results.

Shen Qing looked around the battlefield and suddenly realized something was wrong. She did not see Hong Shushan.

Hong Shushan is also a cultivator in the Gangsha realm. If he were present, he could completely influence the outcome of this battle.

After watching for a while and confirming that there were no gods or monsters in the Gangsha realm secretly lurking nearby, Shen Qing did not hesitate any longer and took decisive action.

The true energy condensed into a sword in his palm. The blade trembled violently, like a chainsaw, shaking with terrifying waves. Then a spiritual pattern emerged from the sword, and in an instant, flames rose from the blade.

This was the first time that Shen Qing used spiritual patterns in a battle, but he felt completely comfortable with it. This was the benefit of the sudden surge in spiritual power.

In a moment, Shen Qing, holding the fire knife, roamed the battlefield as if he was in an empty space. He easily killed more than twenty monsters and beheaded nine evil gods.

The energy of the sundial was replenished, and the soul was nourished once again.

The battle in the sky was soon decided. The black clouds were split apart by the sword light, and the boiling blood of the demon spilled onto the wasteland. A huge green-winged ferocious bird fell from the sky and crashed into the battlefield. Its chest and abdomen were torn open, and even its sharp claws under its belly were cut off.

But the vitality of monsters has always been strong. After suffering such a severe blow, it is still struggling, trying to flap its wings again.

Seeing this, Shen Qing hurriedly raised the fire knife in his hand and pierced its heart directly, then swung the knife again and directly chopped off its head.

A strong and refreshing air then surged into her body. The energy provided by this ferocious bird, which was almost a perfect evil force, was not small.

Seeing that the ferocious bird was dead, the gods who had been waiting and watching immediately took action. In less than half an incense stick of time, the battle was over. They then began to clean up the battlefield with incredibly high efficiency.

Ji Yunxiao walked down from the air, looked at the corpse of the ferocious bird, and didn't say much. He just raised his hand to call people to drag the corpse away for disposal.

This level of ferocious bird is full of treasures, so it is natural that it should be handed over to more people to deal with.

"City Lord, why is Hong Chengzheng not here?"

Shen Qing asked the doubts in his heart. At such a critical moment, as one of the commanding officers, his whereabouts were unknown, which was already a very serious crime.

"He went to Zidian Tianzong to seek help, hoping that perhaps a great cultivator would be able to spare some time to guard Haoyin City for a while."

Ji Yunxiao spoke in a bland tone. He did not have much good feelings towards the so-called great cultivators. Zidian Tianzong had many industries of its own, and now it was probably unable to take care of itself, and there was no way it would have the spare energy to help Haoyin City.

"I can only hold out for another ten days or half a month at most. I will also prepare to return to Middle-earth."

"So fast?"
