Chapter 179: True Monarch Dies, Great Benefit to Heaven

t is located north of the City Lord's Mansion, not too far from it, near Aoki Avenue.Geographically speaking, going from Fang's clan land to Zhang's clan land and then to the Department of Criminal J...Whew whew whew~

There is a hurricane between heaven and earth.

This mighty wind is vast and boundless, its roar echoing for ten thousand miles. It reaches up to the heavens and sweeps down upon earth and stone.

From the foot of the mountain to its peak, it rolled like a giant scroll, uprooting ancient trees and shattering massive boulders. It struck fear into the hearts of enemies and decimated their ranks. Even Long Chan Ridge, shrouded in mist and clouds, was forced to reveal its true face.

It was only under Cao Jie's manipulation that Jiang Wang truly understood what military formation tactics were, and deeply comprehended the meaning of "gathering crowds into an array."

Cao Jie's army, drawing its manpower from various factions and sects, couldn't be described as harmonious. Although all warriors who came to the Myriad Realms to fight had undergone some military training, the battle formations of the Yanggu, Jueming Island, or Diaohuai Lou were not overlapping.

Ca Cao was able to transform the decrepit into the miraculous, and the chaotic into order. He forcibly integrated the disparate and disorganized military formations into a unified whole. Like assembling a puppet from its parts, he achieved a grand unification of his forces.

The Three Thousand Li Dragon Zen Ridge is a perilous place. It's home to fortified watchtowers with weapons protruding from their teeth and terrifying monsters dozens of meters tall. Poisonous vines, pools of malignant moss, devilish beehives... danger lurks everywhere.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But under Cao Jie's command, the human army merely advanced in a straight line. Like an unfeeling and relentless boulder, it simply pressed forward relentlessly.

More than a hurricane that reaches the heavens and earth More than arrows raining down like a canopy of the sky Boom, boom, boom!

That grand world, where thunder rolled, was pierced by a blood-stained battle flag. Even the mighty Dragon King Tai Yong, had to retreat again, abandoning his defenses.

The war flags fluttered in the wind, casting a bright glow across the mountains.

The flag Yuejie oversees, the Yangzi Flag, is the last banner of the Great Day Empire.

The once-mighty empire that ruled the Eastern territories, now only a last glimmer of its glory remains, fluttering on today's Long Zen Ridge.

Men of today still wear the armor of the sun, their iron lances demonstrating the sharpness of their edges. The military might of the past seems almost tangible.

"I will not retreat one step! Whoever stands in my way shall die!" Yue Jie marched up the mountain, his spear held high: "The Dragon Zen Ridge spans three thousand miles; today, we march for three thousand miles!"

Jiang Wang was amidst the battlefield, part of the human tide, ready to engulf the eternally enduring Gao Ling.

My heart was empty, devoid of all else. I only felt the vastness, only perceived the killing. As a warrior, one among countless others, the only thing to do at this moment was to follow Cao Jie's clear and precise orders, rushing to every appropriate position.

Five Taoist Immortals attacked Longchen Ridge, what a concept The formation was like paper paste, and the majestic mountain was like a mud pellet.

What copper walls and ironclad gates!

Cao Jie held complete control of the army, his generals pressing forward like a surging sea, leaving no room for even a sliver of weakness. Although it was an assault on mountains and gates, a situation where there should have been some back-and-forth, it seemed more like crushing gnats or ants.

On Long Zen Ridge, there was only the great prison lord Zhong Xi who could stand toe-to-toe with him on the battlefield.

But there were also Yuejie, Zhu Sui, Yu Liyang, and Peng Chongjian, four True Lords of the Dao who personally served as blades and arrows, all under Cao Jie's command. Relying only on the two Imperial Masters, Xiyang and Taeyong, how could they possibly hold out Which line of defense could withstand such an assault

Yue Jie said today's army advance of three thousand miles wasn't just boasting. The human army charging into battle hasn't retreated once!

From the Evil Soul Hive to the Meditation Cave, it took less than half a cup of tea.

This grotto is a famous meditation site among the Sea Race. It ranks third among the twelve Pure Lands of Longchan Ridge. There are means here to eliminate hidden killing intent.

But the flickering candlelight was merely a prelude—the ambushers in the inner room hadn't emerged yet, and the battle hadn't begun. The sound of Buddhist chants had only just started echoing... the candles within the white paper lanterns were already blazing throughout this cave, consuming everything in the inner chamber.

What kind of tricks the Lian Hai clan were hiding inside, they didn't even have time to see.

The vast Saha World has been operating for countless years. Dragon Zen Ridge is even more so the holy land in the hearts of countless sea races.

When the people of Can invaded, their power was unstoppable.

Peach blossoms line the path up the mountain, reaching all the way to Taiping Mountain where it meets Long Zen Ridge.

It cannot be said that the defense on Long Zen Ling was not strong, nor can it be said that Zhong Xi was not skilled at defense, nor can it be said that the Hai Clan warriors were not tenacious. Even Xi Yang and Tai Yong, they too fought with all their might, leading the charge against the flood.

But the disparity in power between the human and sea races here in the Saha Dragon Realm is indeed vast. It's a crushing dominance across all fronts, from high-tier combat strength to military might. And with renowned generals like Cao Jie leading the charge! Whenever a slight advantage appears on the battlefield, Cao Jie can maintain it until the very end. Let alone such a significant advantage and wealth at their disposal now.

A distinguished family, with talented prodigies and elite soldiers, possessing everything imaginable. The battle strength derived from the Dao can even produce two more powerful figures!

He didn't bother with any tactical formations or maneuvers against Chong Xi. There was no advancing and retreating, no intricate strategies involved – just a brutal, relentless onslaught of martial art techniques that swept across the battlefield like a tidal wave.

The military formation tactics weren't cleaned properly, so True Lord came again to clean them up. He turned Dragon Zen Ridge into Bald Dragon Mountain!

That's how it got pushed up like that.

The crowd surged like the sea, and flags were actually a jumble.

>

But every banner, is a banner of the human race. It stands proudly and unflinchingly, and it rises higher with each hoist!

Longzen Ridge is vast and formidable, always high and unreachable. It has never been conquered by humans.

It is not a simple mountain range, but the core of the Saha World and a refuge for many sea races, holding great significance. There are twelve pure lands within it, such as the Meditation Cave, etc. There are also eighteen hells, such as the Evil Moss Pond, etc. There are mountain-鎮金剛 and protective ridge伽藍....

But it was all in vain.

The Saha World is almost a world unto itself, and even now many sea races within it are still struggling. But the human race has killed to this domain's absolute vital point.

The human army marched relentlessly, their advance unstoppable even as they scaled mountains and ridges. Their speed only increased with every step.

>

When the flag bearing Yue Jie's personal seal, finally planted before Tianfo Temple, the heart of Long Zen Ling, it meant that this war to subjugate the Saha Dragon Realm had reached its final stage.

At least that is the case in the Saha world.

>

Tianfo Temple, while called a temple, is actually not made of brick and stone. It is a vibrant, tens of thousands of zhang tall tree. The hollowed trunk has been carved into living quarters, and the bark is adorned with Buddha sculptures while the leaves are all bodhi.

There was a serene atmosphere under the tree, but now it has been tainted by bloodshed.

The three peak Sea Clan powerhouses, the Great Prison Emperor Zhong Xi, the Red Eyebrow Emperor Xi Yang, and the Dragon Clan Emperor Tai Yong, were all injured. They stood side by side before the Heavenly Buddha Temple, their gazes sweeping over the fluttering banners, watching waves of human warriors surge towards them.

Streams spread far and wide, finally converging into such a vast sea.

They had exhausted all means, done everything in their power, to complete the preparations laid out over countless years on Long Zen Ridge, and they had killed off every single soldier stationed there. At last, they were left with nothing they could do.

Even the Great Prison Emperor Zhong Xi was on the brink of death, and the Red Eyebrow Emperor Xi Yang had escaped from the gates of hell several times! Even Tai Yong, the strongest among the three emperors, wasn't spared—his Dao Rule world was shattered.

They have all seen the path to ruin, and they remain here. It is a shame for this battle, and a hatred for the sea people!

Zhu Cui, Yu Liyang, and Peng Chongjian walked to Yue Jie's side and calmly watched the three Sea Clan emperors.

Cao Jie, with his broken limbs and missing arms, also walked out of the battlefield and stood among the four true monarchs.

At this time, it is only necessary to prevent a desperate struggle, and incur less cost. With five enemies against three, there is no need to expend more lives of our soldiers.

If one takes the strong of the Way as their arrowheads, then those who comprehend truth and manifest their divinity will naturally step forward to fight.

> Dong Wanggu Du E Zuo Shi Ji Ke Ni, who was nearly killed and is still recovering from his injuries, along with Qin Zheng, who had come back from Die Hai Lou to recuperate after being injured, and Chong Guang and Yang Feng, who came from the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Qing Fu Yan Qing Shang Feng Chen, Chen Zhi Tao, Fu Yan Qing...

Of course, this also includes Jiang Wang, and Zhu Biqiong who is always by Jiang Wang's side... As well as Zhuo Qingru, who, wherever Jiang Wang and Zhu Biqiong are, will stand nearby with ears pricked up.

Seeing that Jiang Wang was walking towards Yu Liyang, her ears perked up even higher.

"Tianfo Temple" Jiang Wang walked behind Yu Liyang, his face pale but resolute, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He once studied at the Jiayue Academy, where he learned about Buddhist scriptures such as the "Bodhisattva's Record of the Buddha's Words". The academy emphasized rigorous Chan Buddhist practice and profound understanding of Buddhist teachings. He was particularly skilled in studying the "Notes on Bodhi" by the respected Buddhist master Xirunian, and his lectures were highly praised for their excellence.

He thus had some impression of these two characters, "Tianfo."

In the *Perfection of Wisdom in Meditation Sutra*, it mentions that there were disciples of the Buddha who were regarded as "Heavenly Buddhas"! However, for some reason, their names have not been widely transmitted later. Unlike other disciples of the Buddha, they didn't establish their own lineages or transmit teachings throughout the ages.

> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Such a glorious title of Buddha, in the end, vanished into oblivion.

Of course, the history of romance is always fleeting like smoke. What kind of heroes and what kind of endings, are not surprising.

It's inevitable to have associations when encountering a temple named "Dragon Zen Ridge" in this very place.

"Curious" Yu Liyang seemed to completely understand Jiang Wang's thoughts, gazing ahead at Tianfo Temple, and said with a light tone, "Tianfo is the Dragon Buddha."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Heavenly Buddha is the Dragon Buddha!

The most spiritually gifted disciple personally taught by the Buddha, known as the "Heavenly Buddha" and shrouded in mystery, could it be the Dragon Buddha from ancient times

The Dragon Buddha who inspired countless dragons to convert to Buddhism The Buddha who followed the World-Honored One and helped humanity win the War between Humans and Dragons

In the Xiangkong Temple's Dragon Subduing Monastery, "Buddha's Palm Subduing Dragon" still stands today as a memorial to this glorious history.

The name "Kalyana Buddha" is indeed a great achievement for the human race, but for that defeated and exiled group, it is an unforgivable sin!

So-called "Dragon Buddhas" should be traitors of the dragon race, hated by the dragon clan to the bone. How could they build a temple here and commemorate them!

This makes no sense at all.

What kind of person was Ke Yu Liyang Since he gave an answer in public, he naturally wouldn't be wrong. So does that mean there are some hidden truths about the historical period of ancient times

For example, the Dragon Buddha summoning countless dragons was not an act of rebellion, nor was it to help the human race Is it possible that when the Dragon Buddha took on the title of Buddha, he bestowed upon a large number of Dharma Protectors (Heavenly Dragons), not out of leaning towards the human race, but rather because...the Buddhist sect leaned towards the dragon clan

In other words, as a disciple of the Buddha, the Dragon Buddha inherited the Buddha's path! This can also explain the cause of the sandalwood tree with dragon breath!

According to Chen Zhitao, a long time ago, Longxi sandalwood was the most precious kind of incense and had great benefits for Buddhist monks. This seems to corroborate the close relationship between dragons and Buddhism during that period. However, nowadays, every wisp of miasma emitted by Longxi sandalwood is a deadly poison specifically targeting Buddhist monks. The deeper one's understanding of Buddhist teachings, the more difficult it becomes to resist the poison.

Who can understand the Buddha so well and yet hate him so much

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

If it is indeed as Jiang Wang speculated, only the Dragon Buddha!

Dragons and humans once had a close relationship, even co-ruling the world. Though about the latter, humans now deny it.

But in the traces of history, Jiang Wang had already glimpsed it.

It was precisely because the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan had once been so close that the Dragon Clan venerated the World Honored One, achieving the status of "Heavenly Buddha." Back then, it seemed like a time of great harmony, with masters showing kindness and disciples expressing filial piety, all within a united brotherhood. However, as time passed, conflicts arose between the races.

And thinking deeper... could the Buddha have accepted the Heavenly Buddha back then to set up a strategy for the future Dragon War

Thus calculated, worthy of the hands of a world-honored one!

After his journey to the Demon Realm, learning about ancient secrets and viewing human history from another perspective, Jiang Wang had long since learned to corroborate information and explore the truth.

Yu Liyang's words, "Heaven Buddha is Dragon Buddha," made him think deeply. The mists of history were constantly blowing away, and the true nature of the world was becoming clearer!

And if the Heavenly Buddha is also the Dragon Buddha, then the Heavenly Buddha Temple before us, the Dragon Zen Ridge beneath our feet, and even the entire Saha Dragon Realm, may hold even greater significance. That's why Qi Xiao and Cao Jie, as the core human military leaders, would place such high stakes on this location!

But these were only in Jiang Wang's heart. He remained silent and said no more.

Cao Jie and the other powerful cultivators were obviously familiar with Tiansfo Temple. When Yu Liyang said "Tiansfo is also the Dragon Buddha," they didn't react any differently.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Perhaps they already understood it back then.

"My lords, the outcome of today's battle is decided. Why persist in futile actions—" Cao began to speak, but then abruptly bit his teeth together!

For at this very moment, he already sensed a mighty tremor rippling throughout the entire Illusory Realm. A Path-Derivative perished!

All powerful energy is dissipated, returning to the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The control over the Way has been released, like a caged bird returning to nature. The physical body of the Dao disintegrates, yet it fills the void in heaven.

This is what is recorded in "Chao Cangwu", "When the True Lord dies, it is of great benefit to Heaven!"

No matter if a peak-level expert dies in the mortal realm or at the bottom of the sea, they can create a temporary blessed land. With special methods bolstering them, they are often able to last for a longer period of time.

So why is it said that the Heavenly Demon's Self-Established Heaven Demon Altar can help the demon clan open up a new heaven In essence, it is powerful cultivators of the Dao who use their lifetime of cultivation to return to heaven and earth, nurturing their clan.

>

The Heavenly Demon Altar is the greatest creation that can best bring out the value of self-destruction through transformation.

In the chaotic realm of mi-world, the death of a derthway can bring about the greatest change: it provides immense support to mi-world, allowing it to give birth to brand new realms!

It's not like a human camp or the Huangtai Realm, where the Myriad Realms are gradually transformed into the embodiment of a certain race's rules. Instead, it is about regenerating realms outside of existing ones.

That is to say, in fact, it expanded the range of the miasma realm. The miasma realm feeds on corpses and grows stronger!

Who is this fallen True Monarch Indeed, there's no need to ask any further...

"Jiang Wang," Cao Jie's voice came out from between his teeth, dropping down. He had gone as fast as he could! As quickly as he could! But the Hai Clan had also given it their all.

>

Zhuy sui, Yu Li yang, Peng Chongjian, Yue jie, all remained silent. The divine light of the Zhenren Chongguang dimmed, and Zhenren Qin zhen's face paled.

Jiang Wang pressed his hand against his long sword and looked up, puzzled: "General, what is your order"

"There are some places you can never find again." Cao Jie only said this sentence, then fell silent. The one-armed and scarred warrior, the first to charge at the Sea Tribe Emperor.

Why all the words!

Either kill the three emperors in front of me right now, raze Tianfo Temple to the ground, and crush Long Zenling.

Either wait for more Sea Clan Emperors to arrive and support them, letting the East Sea Dragon Palace be sacrificed in vain! He Cao Jie would absolutely not allow it!

>ee Swords that could unexpectedly cause some threat, he would have already been captured by Dragon Face.But as the dragon becomes familiar with the Meteor Flame and Jiang Wang's swordsmanship, it will...
