170: Chapter 166 Kunpeng Dies 7 Updates 170: Chapter 166 Kunpeng Dies 7 Updates As the body of Kunpeng was once again shattered.

The Primordial Demonic Qi transformed into a black light and disappeared.

Great Emperor Ziwei and the others sealed heaven and earth, but the Primordial Demonic Qi still managed to escape.

Kunpeng fell completely, its enormous body shattered to pieces, and its Primordial Spirit completely dissipated.

Dead.

The Kunpeng that had lived from Ancient Times to the present, had its life ended at this moment.

Great Emperor Ziwei’s gaze flickered as he said, “Just as the legends say, the Root of Immortality can be immortal, but it is also a source of disaster.

Everyone who truly refined the Root of Immortality has died, except for those six who are still alive.”

“It must have been the Primordial Demonic Qi that controlled Kunpeng, drawing upon the essence of Kunpeng’s being, and then using us to shed its shell and leave this place.

I suspect that the Root of Immortality has its own consciousness, and it might even be a living being in another sense.”

Longevity Great Emperor also spoke up, his gaze flickering; the matter of Kunpeng made him think of many things.

The others also felt some lament, the fall of the Ancient mighty Kunpeng was definitely one of the biggest events in the Three Realms.

They felt a sense of empathy.

No matter how powerful, how invincible you are, in the end, you can’t escape this calamity.

Since ancient times, have there been a shortage of fallen powerhouses?

Generations have passed.

Those who truly live eternally are but a few, not many at all.

The Four Heavenly Kings took action, imprisoning the Northern Continent so that the demonized living beings could not escape.

They looked anxiously at the demonized living beings.

Did they really have to kill them all?

These were millions of living beings, after all.

Even if they were demonized, they couldn’t just be killed like that; otherwise, they would certainly be subjected to censure.

What to do?

The Four Heavenly Kings exchanged looks, each seeing the helplessness in the others’ eyes.

“Is there any way to cleanse these Demonic Qi?”

Great Emperor Ziwei asked.

“I don’t have the means.”

Gou Chen Great Emperor shook his head, indicating his helplessness.

Lady Houtu also shook her head; she genuinely had no method.

Longevity Great Emperor thought for a moment, then said, “Let me try.”

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed a demonized being, then infused mana into that being’s body.

The next moment, Longevity Great Emperor casually threw the demonized being away.

“Pfft.”

The demonized being exploded in mid-air, turned into pieces of flesh.

The Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court all showed distressed expressions, now they truly had no solution.

“Wukong, do you have any good methods?”

Great Emperor Ziwei suddenly asked.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, “For this kind of thing, I think the people from the Buddhist Sect would be more skilled in handling it.

My suggestion is to invite Amitabha Buddha to try.”

The eyes of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court instantly brightened.

Great Emperor Ziwei immediately said, “Where is Taibai?”

An old servant hurried over, respectfully saying, “Gold Star Taibai pays respect to your majesty.”

A flash of light appeared in Great Emperor Ziwei’s hand, and a Decree emerged.

He handed it to Gold Star Taibai and said, “Go quickly to the Pure Land and invite Amitabha Buddha to come here, to resolve the issue of the Northern Continent.

If he resolves the problem here, I will appoint him as the Lord of the Buddhist Realm.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Gou Chen Great Emperor and the others changed slightly.

Great Emperor Ziwei was attracting Amitabha Buddha; if Amitabha Buddha truly became the Lord of the Buddhist Realm, with the support of the Buddhist Realm, the possibility of Great Emperor Ziwei becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate would become much greater.

Though they were aware that the Jade Emperor had not really died, just hiding in the shadows.

But that didn’t stop them from vying for the position of Great Heavenly Venerate.

“Yes.”

Gold Star Taibai hurriedly left.

Gou Chen Great Emperor’s gaze turned somewhat gloomy as he said indifferently, “Ziwei, the royal decree to appoint the Lord of the Buddhist Realm doesn’t seem like something you can decide.

Only the Great Heavenly Venerate has the qualification to issue such a decree.”

“Where is the Great Heavenly Venerate then?”

Great Emperor Ziwei retorted.

Gou Chen Great Emperor’s expression stiffened; he knew where the Jade Heavenly Venerate was, but he couldn’t reveal that.

After all, the Jade Emperor’s goal had not been achieved, and it was not yet time to expose him.

He suspiciously stared at Great Emperor Ziwei.

Could it be that he didn’t know the Great Heavenly Venerate was still alive?

But considering the relationship between Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei, Gou Chen Great Emperor couldn’t help but shake his head.

Sun Wukong would definitely have told Great Emperor Ziwei, who must be aware of it.

“That also goes against the rules of the Heavenly Court.”

Lady Houtu said indifferently.

After glancing at Lady Houtu, Great Emperor Ziwei smiled faintly and spoke, “Since the Jade Emperor has perished, as the foremost among the Four Heavenly Kings, I naturally assume the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate temporarily.

When a Great Heavenly Venerate arises in the Three Realms in the future, I certainly will not overstep my bounds.

However, in these extraordinary times, I ask for everyone’s understanding.

After all, I am doing this for the common people of the Northern Continent.

Would the three of you stand by and watch the countless living beings of this continent perish?”

Silenced by Great Emperor Ziwei’s speech, they were left speechless.

After all, Great Emperor Ziwei was not speaking nonsense; he had reason and evidence on his side.

Even if they wished to refute him, they found no grounds to do so.

Standing on the side of the common people and righteousness, unless the three of them were shameless, they really had no way to argue against him.

Sun Wukong gave Great Emperor Ziwei a thumbs up; the fellow performed well today.

Great Emperor Ziwei, with a slight smile, appeared somewhat smug.

Seeing the subtle exchange between the two, Gou Chen Great Emperor could not help but snort coldly.

However, neither Sun Wukong nor Great Emperor Ziwei paid him any attention; they were, after all, aiming to irk him.

Soon, Amitabha Buddha arrived with numerous Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

He, too, knew about the affairs of the Northern Continent but had not stepped forward.

The power of Kunpeng was formidable, and it had assimilated Primordial Demonic Qi.

He was not confident in his ability to suppress it.

Moreover, since the Northern Continent belonged to Great Emperor Ziwei and he wasn’t rushing, why should he?

When Gold Star Taibai proclaimed the edict, Amitabha Buddha knew his opportunity had arrived.

The Tathagata Buddha was recognized by the Heavenly Court as the Lord of the Buddhist Realm.

If Great Emperor Ziwei could similarly decree him as the Lord of the Buddhist Realm, then his position would be rightfully validated.

After receiving the decree, he gave it some thought before bringing his retinue.

“Greetings to the four majesties.”

Amitabha Buddha bowed.

Great Emperor Ziwei said indifferently, “Amitabha Buddha, there is a task for you now.

Are you confident you can complete it?”

“Your Majesty, please speak.”

Amitabha Buddha pressed his hands together in prayer.

Great Emperor Ziwei glanced down and spoke calmly, “The Northern Continent has suffered under Kunpeng, all living beings have turned demonic.

I hope the Buddhist Sect has a way to resolve the Demonic Qi.

Do you think you can achieve this?”

After looking at the demonized living beings, Amitabha Buddha laughed and said, “Your Majesty, rest assured, the Buddhist Sect has plenty of methods to resolve Demonic Qi.

Leave this matter to this old monk.”

“Wait a moment.”

Great Emperor Ziwei called out.

Amitabha Buddha stood still.

“There is one thing I must remind you of, you can resolve the Demonic Qi, but you must not convert these living beings into disciples of the Buddhist Sect.

Otherwise, we will certainly hold the Buddhist Sect accountable.”

This was a fundamental issue.

If these demonized living beings were all converted into disciples of the Buddhist Sect, it would be better to eradicate these beings instead.
