Chapter 398 Distortion Ascension
The sky is bright.
The orange-red morning glow filled the sky.
The front of the Zhenhun Hall was already crowded with people who came to watch the ceremony.
Only a road about three cars wide in the center was left, leading directly to the river not far in front of the Zhenhundian.
There are already cruise ships participating in the celebration waiting there.
Normally, no unauthorized intruders are allowed around the Hall of Souls.
There will be an exception only on the day of the grand ceremony, so the people of Fengdu are particularly enthusiastic. They hold various celebration props in their hands and sing the popular songs in Fengdu City in unison, as if they are calling for something.
Boom~
The bell rang suddenly.
A golden beam of light rises straight into the sky from the center of the Soul-Zhenling Hall.
In an instant, the entire sky above Fengdu City was shrouded in this light curtain, even the morning glow changed color, and the cheers of the people grew louder.
Boom~
The second bell rings.
Light golden petals began to fall from the sky, not only limited to the small area on the Zhenhun Palace, but also covering the entire Fengdu City!
In fact, they are not real objects and will dissipate without a trace before landing.
But even so, in the morning light, the petals are flying all over the sky, shining with golden light, and there are also ethereal fairy sounds that echo the songs.
Such magical means still brought the atmosphere of the scene to a higher level.
Boom!!!
The third bell tolled, especially long and loud.
The cheers of the people reached their climax at this time, and the doors of the Hall of Souls were opened to both sides.
The first thing that appeared inside the door was a majestic and beautiful beast that was completely made by steam machinery technology and was about five meters tall. It had a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and a unicorn foot. It was the seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld.
Divine beast, listen carefully.
With steam blowing out from his nostrils and festive red silk hanging from his ears, Tingting stepped out of the threshold. Various armors and flags symbolizing the underworld were draped around his torso. He shook his head and greeted the cheers from nearly ten thousand people in front of the door.
Di Ting kept walking towards the cruise ship parked in the river, and what appeared behind it was a statue of Yama carried on a float. Different from the one enshrined in the Zhenhun Hall, the image in front of him was a little less solemn.
, a bit more heroic, and his posture is no longer sitting upright, but standing and looking into the distance.
Immediately following, a group of Hades believers and a large number of tools needed for processions and rituals appeared in the Hall of Soul Resurrection.
Even though it had been attacked by Shintoists not long ago, the Zhenhun Hall was still showing its heyday at this time. As for these manpower, they were temporarily deployed from temples all over Fengdu City.
There is no way, the road in front of Zhenhun Hall is the opening of the grand festival. It only happens once a year, and there is no way to do it again.
If it cannot cover everything, let alone the people of Fengdu who will not buy it, the accountability of the Three Law Divisions and Hades will be enough for these people to drink a pot.
Fortunately, this year's festival started off well, as can be seen from the enthusiastic response from the public.
The crowd moved with the parade led by Di Ting, cheering all the way, and soon arrived at the boarding point by the river.
The weight of Titing, which is made of all metal, is not light. The Fengdu government also made corresponding modifications to the ship that carried it. After boarding the ship, Titing was at the front, and there were twelve people on the middle and rear decks of the same ship.
The lifts are opened one after another.
The twelve zodiac bronze statues that have been decorated in advance rise from it, rising and falling, and swaying from side to side with Ting Ting's movements.
"Play music! Let's sail!"
When the teams from the Zhenhun Hall started to board the boat one after another, the statue of Yama was successfully erected on the deck of the extraordinarily exquisitely decorated cruise ship in the center. Someone immediately stood on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, several cruise ships with pavilions and pavilions on the decks suddenly became a temporary stage. Stationed on it, theater troupes and orchestras that had been rehearsing for a long time came on stage one after another, performing their own specialties.
The river in Fengdu City is not too wide, and the multi-layer corridors and docks built on both sides make it easy for people who cannot get on the boat to move along with the parade fleet.
The speed of the fleet itself will also slow down to ensure that the public can clearly see the program on the deck.
The light golden petals in the sky are still falling, with no intention of stopping. What is even more surprising is that these petals will disappear immediately when they fall on the ground, but when they enter the water, they bloom into blooming flowers.
This is obviously a program prepared by Hades in advance. Judging from the current situation, the effect is outstanding.
It's a pity that these programs are still reserved for ordinary people after all.
At this time, in Fengdu City, the battle had begun, and preparations for both sides were in full swing.
As the judge has the largest number of combatants and is the most elite, the atmosphere is particularly tense.
"The celebration started smoothly. The cruise ship team is traveling according to the original route. If nothing goes wrong, it will disembark at Beichen Pier in half an hour and enter the street parade stage. The information sent back by the previous messenger is undoubtedly accurate."
In front of the sand table, several analysts looked at the miniature fleet model. Someone raised his hand and pointed to the Wangxiang Terrace, and then moved all the way to the river along the side street, and then said,
"The Shinto people want to hold a banquet to consecrate the gods before the action. Their action target is undoubtedly the end point of the parade, which is the Wangxiang Terrace. We can appropriately gather the forces scattered everywhere and consolidate them into
Give them a head-on blow with your fist!"
In the battle with the Shinto people, the Three Law Divisions plus Hades undoubtedly had the upper hand. After all, Yan Jing had informed them in advance that the Sealing Domain Gate had been intact so far, rather than being damaged as expected by the Shinto people.
It's just that the emergence of the alien space disrupted their plan, forcing Sanfasi to adapt to circumstances and find ways to break through this alien space and completely destroy this last lair of the Shinto people.
Of course, whether this ultimate goal can be achieved has little to do with how many people gather around Wangxiang Terrace. It also depends on the effect of the ceremony in the trial chamber.
"How is the progress of positioning in different spaces?"
In the secret room, Sicheng Zhongxiang, who was judging the case, looked at the ritual array that was still operating at high speed, frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Let me tell you, sir, the exact spatial coordinates have not yet been located. There seems to be interference from some kind of force on the periphery of that different space. With our current strength, it is difficult to force a breakthrough. Maybe we can do it with the help of the power of Hades, but in that case.
"
Commander Xu, who was responsible for setting up the ceremonial array, hesitated in his words.
"Forcibly breaking through will inevitably attract the attention of the Shinto people. No, we have to think of other ways."
Although Commander Xu did not speak clearly, Zhong Xiang still understood what he meant.
Again, what they want to do is to eradicate the root cause rather than alert the enemy.
As Zhong Xiang, he had already learned from Hades that the alien space of the Shintoists was expanded from the Contemplation of the Ascension to the Mysterious Realm in the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra". It belongs to the territory of evil spirits and has no influence on the outside world.
Defense is bullshit.
The problem lies in this.
"So what do we do?"
"Keep the operation of the ritual circle, and at the same time recruit a group of elites from the Sanfa Division. Since the Shinto people are going to make a big festival, they can't stay in that turtle shell all the time. They will inevitably leave the different space at some point. At that time
This is our chance to seize the opportunity.”
After thinking for a short time, Zhong Xiang came up with another idea.
You must know that the power of Hades is indeed powerful, and it is not difficult to destroy a space. However, if you plan to completely destroy a different space where there is a high possibility of the existence of the true body of an extraterrestrial demon, it cannot be achieved by just a few attacks from the outside world. You must first
Destroy the core of the alien space, or the extraterrestrial demons within it.
The city of Fengdu was rejoicing, and the three ministers were solemn.
There is another scene in the spiritual world.
Complete madness.
"The great cause is about to be accomplished. I hereby wish that all of you will be promoted to immortality and live as long as this world!"
Erlang Shen gathered the wine bottles and shouted to the immortals in Yaochi with a smile on his face,
"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
Beside him, the main members of the Shinto sect were sipping their drinks and chatting and laughing occasionally, while in front of him, dozens of monsters that had completely lost their human form were running rampant among the Yaochi.
They overturned the table, lay on the ground and ate the fruit residue. Still not satisfied, they madly pounced on the white crane fairy dancing nearby, tore it into pieces, and swallowed it with blood.
The White Crane Fairy was also eaten, and the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the Yaochi became their new targets.
In this magnificent and beautiful fairyland, a scene more disgusting than the eighteen levels of hell is taking place, and it is this scene that obviously makes the core members of the Shinto community quite satisfied.
Yan Jing sat behind the desk, leaning back and crossing his legs on the desk. He seemed to be watching the scene in front of him, but in fact his eyes had turned to the huge peach tree behind him.
This fairy plant, full of fruit and full of vitality, changed its appearance at some point.
The green leaves withered, the branches twisted into long and twisted tentacles, and a large number of indistinguishable human and animal faces gradually grew on the tree trunks. Several protruding sarcomas bulged in the middle part, and they were crawling.
Those "flat peaches" even grew into monsters.
If you take a closer look, you will find that they are no different from the "immortals" in Yaochi. Not only are they lifelike, but they are also making bursts of hungry screams, as if they are eager to get something.
Seeing that the situation was going smoothly according to his plan, Erlang Shen put aside the wine glass with satisfaction, raised his hand to hold it in vain, and shouted,
"I, the True Monarch Erlang of Guanjiangkou, under the orders of His Majesty the Supreme Lord, went out to conquer the underworld in Fengdu. The great cause is about to be accomplished. All the fellow Taoists have received the great grace of Heaven and held a banquet to consecrate the gods in the fairyland of Yaochi. Now that the auspicious time has come, I respectfully invite you.
Heavenly Lord, give me the list of gods!"
The voice fell.
I saw a gray-black light flashing past Erlangshen's head.
A scroll carrying majestic energy came through the air and fell directly into his hand.
In an instant, the wine and food on the table in the Yaochi disappeared without a trace, and the place where Erlang Shen stood rose up from the ground, becoming a small platform with several flags placed diagonally around it, and it was covered with paintings that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Obscure scriptures.
"Feng Taishang Shengwei Tianzun's order, the barefoot man stepped forward to listen to the order!"
When the fat man heard the sound, he rushed forward and fell to his knees.
"You are so honored to confer a barefoot man the title of Barefoot Immortal!"
Unfolding the list of gods in his hand, Erlang God opened his eyes in front of his forehead, as if this was the only way to see the words on the list clearly.
He muttered something serious, and the monster who was named the "Barefoot Immortal" trembled with excitement.
Yan Jing, who had no choice but to stand aside because he had no place, almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene. He felt that the group of fallen angel believers in front of him had really been completely messed up by the evil spirits and could not be more deceived.
In fact, as long as you use your brain a little, you can realize that if there is such a thing as the Conferred Gods List, then the person holding it now will definitely not be Erlangshen. This guy is not qualified to hold the Conferred Gods List at all.
Of course, the monsters who have now been completely manipulated by the Shintoists will obviously not have any objections to this.
Almost at the same time as he received the imperial seal, a corresponding fruit fell from the "Peach Tree". This time, no reminder was needed. The "Barefoot Immortal" had already rushed up like a vicious dog and grabbed it before it landed.
Put it in your mouth and swallow it in two or three mouthfuls.
Yan Jing carefully observed the changes of the Barefoot Immortal after eating the fruit, and soon noticed its legs.
No, to be precise, it should be that the feet begin to expand significantly.
Some dark veins cover it, and something seems to be brewing inside.
The three star kings that followed, the Thunder God and the Lightning Girl, were in a similar situation after eating the fruit. Their own distortion characteristics all showed further changes without exception.
From this, Yan Jing speculated that the list of gods might not be worthy of its name, but it did have a beneficial effect on these monsters deformed by fallen angel believers, allowing them to eat fruits that looked very weird.
Not only that, while these dozens of gods were uniformly deformed, they began to be guided by the evil energy in their bodies. They gathered around the unrecognizable peach tree, allowing the wrinkled roots to penetrate into their bodies.
Obviously, this is the final step in becoming a god. They will completely abandon their human identity and become "transcendental and holy".
Yan Jing finally realized at this stage where the power the Shintoists really relied on, and locked his eyes on the peach tree in front of him. If he hadn't considered that there were a large number of core members of the Shintoists gathered around him, Yan Jing would have activated [Dongxu] and
【Double Pupil】, check the situation under it.
Intuition told Yan Jing that whether it was the Yao Pond or the peach tree, they were all disguised by the extraterrestrial demon lurking in the spiritual world. Its true body was hidden somewhere, watching the development of external events.
What happened next quickly verified Yan Jing's speculation.
Chapter completed!
