Chapter 624 Breaking Free from the Dream
Deng Zhen was dressed in purple and holding a small golden seal in his palm. This was the official seal of the Great Xia Chief Justice. The bright yellow national destiny rose into the sky and turned into a mythical beast with a tiger body and dragon claws. The beast was named Bi’an and loved litigation.

The power that erupted from Deng Zhen’s body was like the entire heaven and earth. Not only did it completely dissipate the karma fire in the hall, but it also suffocated a group of third-grade people.

However, Deng Zhenquan’s own condition was not good. His face, like a halo, was sometimes dignified and solemn, and sometimes twisted and painful, as if there was another person hidden in his body.

The reason why the Confucian Five Qualities “An Min” can replace the will of Heaven with one’s own heart is that it relies on the will of the people to divide the heaven and the earth, forming a small world that is beneficial to itself, and even allows its own will to directly influence the rules of the small world.

But the Fourth Yama Palace is not under Deng Zhenquan’s jurisdiction, it is the territory of Mianlong. Originally, even if Deng Zhenquan reached the realm of second-grade “merit”, he would never be able to use the method of pacifying the people here.

But the Fourth Yama Palace has another special feature. It is not only under the rule of the Sleeping Dragon Ghost Emperor, but also the burial place of Emperor Gaozong of Great Xia. The emperor of a country also carries with him the incomparably heavy power of national destiny after his death, so the emperor’s burial place can even affect the rise and fall of the country.

Back then, the Li family of Great Xia spent a lot of effort to find the Ten Yama Palaces and buried ten generations of emperors there. After hundreds of years of evolution, the power of national destiny from Emperor Gaozong has eroded the Fourth Yama Palace. Therefore, the Sleeping Dragon Ghost Emperor wanted to use this dream opportunity to curb this erosion.

Deng Zhenquan grasped this point. He used the official seal of the Chief Censor as a medium. As long as it was the territory of Daxia, he could use methods to pacify the people. Naturally, the same was true in the emperor’s burial place.

However, the price of using the method of pacifying the people this time is very high. Generally speaking, when Confucianists use the method of pacifying the people, although the erosion of the will of heaven and earth will damage their own humanity, as long as they carefully grasp the opportunity, the chaotic will of heaven and earth will wash away like a tide, and as long as they are not completely swallowed up, they can go ashore directly.

But now the national destiny that Deng Zhenquan borrowed came directly from Emperor Gaozong, and at the same time Emperor Gaozong also turned into a drought demon that was not tolerated by heaven and earth.

At this moment, it seemed as if a “person” squeezed directly into Deng Zhenquan’s mind. This was the will of Hanba, and this will kept urging him to release the seal of Hanba and let it out.

When the gods including the God of Evil saw Deng Zhenquan’s condition at this time, they immediately understood what was going on with their wisdom.

The evil god said in a voice that was almost inaudible, “You are really crazy!”

Deng Zhenquan took the risk to forcibly accommodate the will of heaven and earth here, and his purpose must be to prevent them from releasing Hanba.

But there was something wrong with Deng Zhenquan’s move!
Because of the integration of Hanba’s will, Deng Zhenquan, who is only a third-rank official, must have his rationality severely eroded. In fact, Deng Zhenquan has already released Hanba, and he is the ‘key’!
In order to stop himself and others from releasing the Hanba, Deng Zhenquan released the Hanba first.

This was indeed beyond the expectations of the Shintoists, so the evil god said that Deng Zhenquan was really crazy.

Deng Zhenquan ignored him. He was just barely maintaining his sanity at the moment and was unable to think of any more problems. He raised his hand, and the next moment dark red karmic fire burst out from under the feet of the gods, turning the Yin De Lotus in the hands of the Abandoned Corpse God into ashes. At the same time, the pillar in front of them closed instantly, and could no longer lead to the other end.

At this time, Deng Zhenquan was almost able to crush the third-grade. The evil god’s eyes were solemn. Even if they joined forces to resist, they could probably only delay the time for dozens of breaths. However, Deng Zhenquan’s actions helped him make up his mind.

At the moment when the flames of hell were about to fall upon him, the God of Nightmare announced in a solemn and majestic voice, “I am the master of nightmares.”

The evil god began to exert his power, but the target was not Deng Zhenquan, but himself!
Beside him, the Corpse Forsaken God took out a bone dagger from his waist and stabbed it fiercely into the heart of the Evil God. The Evil God did not block it and let the bone dagger pierce his heart.

When they were first dragged into this place, the Evil God had reminded the other gods that the only way to deal with a force that they could not resist in a dream was to wake up. This was a dream after all, and as long as they could wake up from the dream, they would be safe. But it was not easy to wake up from a dream that was affected by so many first-class powers, and even the Evil God was not completely sure.

But now facing the invincible Deng Zhenquan, this is the only way.

The dagger of the Abandoned Corpse God was forged from a third-grade Yellow Spring Snake Fish. The dagger contained the absolute power of death. The moment it pierced the heart of the Evil God, the Evil God’s body quickly turned gray and began to collapse, just like a monk touched by the Demon Emperor Naraku.

This is the evil god actively absorbing the power of death and seeking death!
At the moment when the evil god was about to die, the corpse god used his authority to bless him, “Death is the rebirth of the soul.”

Life and death are originally a cyclical process. The authority of the Emperor of Life and Death includes two levels of life and death. As a subordinate god of the Emperor of Life and Death, the authority of the God of Corpse Abandonment naturally contains this power. Just like His name, His duty is to help souls escape from their decaying bodies, separate the essence, energy and spirit, and thus allow the soul to return to the three elements of heaven, earth and man.

At this time, the Evil God, whose body was rapidly disintegrating, was like a drowning person. He used his own authority of [Nightmare] to transform the Corpse Abandoned God’s attempt to kill him into a nightmare, and then struggled violently to escape from this nightmare.

The last blessing from the Abandoned Corpse God is like a rope thrown from the other side. This side is death and nightmare, while the other side is reality and rebirth!
Deng Zhenquan’s face was twisted and solemn. He stretched out his hand, and the power of the dream suddenly slapped the evil god, but he could only kill the evil god more thoroughly, but could not save him.

From Li Jianhu’s perspective, dreams and reality are two sides of the same coin. At this moment, the Evil God is desperately swimming upwards through death, jumping out of the dream world. Deng Zhenquan’s power is like hands growing out of the dream, trying to catch the Evil God back into the dream and plunge him into endless death.

Unfortunately, life and death are relative. Under the blessing of the Taoist tradition of the Emperor of Life and Death, the God of Evil held on to the life in his hands tightly, and then while His body disappeared in the dream, it also emerged little by little in reality.

Seeing that the evil spirit was about to break free from the dream, Li Jianhu said to Qin Jiangxue beside him, “Give me the thing that can awaken the second-grade Qing Emperor!”

Qin Jiangxue didn’t have time to think about it and directly threw a scroll to Li Jianhu. The moment Li Jianhu grabbed the scroll, he began to break free from this dream.

In the deep and silent hall, the God of Evil staggered suddenly. He first breathed violently, and his trunk even made a sound like convulsions. He had been in and out of dreams so many times, and this time was the most difficult to escape from!
Fortunately, the final result was as He wished, and He successfully escaped from the dream!
Then the Evil God carefully looked at the surrounding environment. There was no boundless fire of karma here, nor the righteous spirit of Deng Zhenquan that almost covered everything. There were still eighty-one pillars, but many of them still had traces of fire, thunder and other powers.

Even though these forces have passed thousands of years, they still seem to be embedded into the rules of this world and will not dissipate at all.

These are the traces left behind by the sub-saints and saints after the battle in the war that year!
The Evil God thought so in his heart, and at the same time, he looked at a bone pillar beside him. This place could lead to another space, which was the real core of the Fourth Yama Palace. He only needed to enter it and awaken the drought demon to complete the task.

But just as the palm of the evil god was about to touch the bone pillar, another voice suddenly came from his side, “Go straight in, aren’t you afraid of being killed by the drought demon inside?”

“who!”

The Evil God suddenly turned his head in shock, and then he saw Li Jianhu appear beside him, “How did you get out?”

Li Jianhu raised his foot and took a step forward, “Just walk out like this.”
