Chapter 252: Li Jin Becomes a Treacherous Ruler

The supreme might of the Great Sun Holy Buddha, having strengthened the world barrier, was naturally enough to press her down to kneel.

The giant sun rose slowly, the heavens turned, directly changing night into day.

The Regent Prince still tried to struggle up, but the supreme Buddha's might, accompanied by faint Buddhist chants, was something no one could withstand.

Even though she was a former Holy Buddha, before the rules and before the doctrine, she could only submit to the Supreme God.

Of course.

Above the Western Demon Sea.

Chi Mo, Jin Wu, Tai Jin and other gods all felt an unparalleled pressure.

Even though this pressure was not aimed at them but at the Dao Court, it was still enough to make them suffocate.

'So strong!'

This was the first time the gods and immortals of the Dao Court had come this close to face the Great Sun Holy Buddha, and they all felt suffocated.

The key was that the Holy Buddha's true form had not even appeared, yet it was already this overbearing……

But the one who suffered most was still the Regent Prince.

Previously, when Di Jin became a Buddha, she was not in the holy hall and had never worshipped.

Now, no matter how unwilling she was, rules and instinct left her unable to avoid kneeling.

Moreover, this kneeling lasted ten days! Exactly ten days.

No matter who pleaded, she could not rise.

Several times she almost couldn't bear it, yet she still endured stubbornly.

Shen Qingli? She had already left seclusion.

She first sent out a thread of awareness, detecting nothing abnormal.

But this was even stranger; all around was dead silent?

"It couldn't be a trap waiting for me to come out, could it?"

Shen Qingli was a bit worried, but the agreed ten days had passed; if she didn't go out now, the two realms might directly trigger a god war instead of a tentative immortal war.

"Let Xiao Ying go out first." Jiu Li proposed.

Jiu Ying flew into a rage, "Fatty! You're going too far!"

"What did you call me?" Jiu Li cracked his knuckles.

"Just you go out." Shen Qingli brought Jiu Ying over.

Jiu Ying immediately burst into tears, "I'll die!"

"No, you're not nine-headed? You definitely have nine lives; as long as you're not completely dead, I can save you."

"No! I'm not a nine‑tailed fox—" Before she could finish, Jiu Ying was thrown out.

Terrified, it hastily shrank back, wishing to retreat into its egg! A good dog's master, it was so obedient yet used as bait for a trap.

But it's fine!

"Master, come out."

Shen Qingli hugged Jiu Li and walked out of the space.

Jiu Ying clung tightly to her leg, "I see no one, let's hurry!"

Shen Qingli didn't leave, she watched the hall doors close again before her.

"A Li, you don't mean to charge in, do you?" Jiu Li's eyes widened, "That demon leader—"

"Xiao Ying, go open the door."

"Why me?"

"You're in the middle; respect your elders and love the young."

"No, I'm not the younger brother?"

Jiu Ying grumbled but still went to open the door, unable to refuse.

As soon as the hall doors opened, the Regent Prince, still kneeling before the world barrier, immediately sensed it.

"The little thief is indeed here!"

The Regent Prince could no longer endure; he spat blood on the spot, his aura instantly wilting.

The Government Court followers gathered here all burst into wails, "Regent Prince!"

"Holy Buddha! You still won't pardon the Regent Prince? You, you're just eliminating dissent!"

Some followers couldn't hold back their anger and retorted, and were instantly struck down by heavenly golden lightning into ashes.

Jialuo Na walked out with a cold face, "Holy Buddha's judgment—dissenters! Struck by thunder and lightning."

Yet thousands of followers already cried out in unison; seeing this, Di Er's expression grew dark, and if this continued, the Religious Court would truly split in two.

Moreover, the gods of the Dao Court watched from the side, tiger‑eyed, wondering what the Holy Buddha was really thinking.

Obviously, she was helping her sister steal the home.

At this moment, Shen Qingli had also entered that evil stone hall.

"Holy shit!"

Jiu Li let out a native expletive, summing up all emotions.

It never expected that the hell A Li spoke of was really hell, damn it!

Shen Qingli's gaze, however, did not fall on those evil murals but rose to the vaulted ceiling.

Strange——

The vision she had seen that day—was it already gone?

"A Li?"

Shen Qingli activated the Dark Meridian, and the power of dark matter surged forth.

However, the vaulted dome remained unchanged.

Jiu Li noticed the clue, "A Li, activate that scale on your chest."

"A scale?" Shen Qingli still didn't know she had this on her chest.

Jiu Li quickly explained, and then she covered her chest with her hand, "Here."

"Exactly, exactly, exactly~" Jiu Li recalled the feeling from that day, "Pretty close."

Shen Qingli calmed her mind, carefully sensed and activated, but there was nothing?

"What's going on?" Jiu Li didn't understand.

It thought for a moment, then let out a "huh" sound.

"Ah! Big brother! What's wrong with you? Whose child is this!"

"Get lost!"

Jiu Li kicked away that ridiculous Jiu Ying, and handed the clump of black energy he had spat out to Shen Qingli.

"Those black vines?"

"Mm."

Jiu Li nodded.

"Not fully digested, it's been sealed all along."

"Try to see if you can activate it. Need to spread it quickly; I always feel a chill on top of my head."

Shen Qingli nodded, no more nonsense, and in an instant that clump of black energy— at her chest, the black scale flickered into view.

At that moment, atop the vaulted dome, a strange mural appeared.

"Ah this,"

Jiu Li pointed at the heavens!

"Those aren't the green-headed turtles, are they!"

Shen Qingli looked at the four directions of the Immortal Map: Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, White Tiger.

Among them, the Vermilion Bird's position was her mother, but rather dim, not as bright as the other three.

On the Black Tortoise's position stood a male-female pair; the male she knew was Shaoguan Wu, and the female was indeed not Zhao Yue's appearance! But she indeed resembled Su Chacha.

No wonder, no wonder when they were at the Biyu Sect, no one thought Su Chacha was Zhao Yue's daughter, after all mother and daughter really don't resemble each other! Now it makes sense, everything has a trace to follow.

These realizations came in an instant.

Shen Qingli's goal was not comprehension, but to take the "origin" of the Three Divine Emperors.

She guessed that the reason she couldn't awaken the Three Divine Emperors' divine power was because they were still sealed on this vaulted dome.

But as soon as she activated this mural, the Regent Prince went mad!

"Today, even if it means death! I, the king, will never submit again; I will not acknowledge anything I have not done."

The Regent Prince wept blood and lamented; he seemed about to self-destruct, utterly fierce.

All the followers in the court were filled with righteous indignation, however——

"The person is right in your court."

A faint Sanskrit chant rang out, and the majesty of the Great Sun Holy Buddha also dissipated.

Almost at the same moment, the Regent Prince immediately returned!

"Speak of delay! It's swift!"

"Give it to me, return to your place!"

Shen Qingli activated the divine source of the Three Spirit Divine Gods.

Within the nine meridians, the power of the God-Demon Transformation flowed abundantly.

Within the Twenty-Four Star Mansions' meridians, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise faintly lit up.

On the vaulted dome, the east, west, and north three spirits in dark green instantly cracked.

Three strands of pure divine radiance descended, entwining toward Shen Qingli and entering her divine meridians.

But just then——

"Little thief, die!"

The madly rushing-back Regent Prince slapped a palm toward her!

In the ferocious terrifying palm wind, there were ghostly wails and wolf howls, plus a chilling killing aura.

The murals of the whole stone cavern seemed to come alive, turning into a hellish demon that devoured Shen Qingli!

Shen Qingli, radiant with the three spirits' divine splendor, lifted her head; in her brilliant pupils was reflected the ferociously attacking Regent Prince.
