Chapter 317: The City God Returns

Just when the battle in the imperial capital market was still deadlocked, civil and military officials had already gathered under the imperial city's altar.

On the steps of the altar, a full 3,650 city god furnaces were fully lit, and wisps of incense turned into green smoke rising into the sky. The magnificent golden temple became more and more solid under the supply of incense.

Emperor Xia wore an imperial robe with cloud patterns and golden dragons. The fate of humanity and the fate of the dynasty were intertwined on him, and his body was indescribably noble.

Although the fate of humanity and the fate of the dynasty suffered a heavy blow a few hours ago, it was still undeniable that Emperor Xia had half of the status of a human emperor.

As long as he sat on the throne of the emperor for one day, he would still be the master of the entire Great Xia and the eternal emperor of the Humane Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!"

Taichang Xu Yankuan stood by and said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia slowly withdrew his sight from the direction of the imperial capital market.

The battle in the imperial capital market had already caught his eye, and the stalemate between Zhou Kuang and Gong Buyu was beyond his expectation.

Xia Yunqiu's awakened status as the crown prince made him feel a little threatened.

But at the moment, he didn't have much energy to pay attention to the struggle in the imperial capital market.

When the imperial capital formation could not be used, the fighting power below the refining spirit could not affect the outcome of that struggle at all.

Although there were still a few people like Zhou Kuang in the palace, the imperial capital formation was already the limit to protect Zhou Kuang alone. If another alien in the refining spirit realm appeared, it would inevitably attract thunder tribulation and add variables.

Instead of trying to completely solve Gong Buyu and Xia Yunqiu, it would be better to complete the capital city god ceremony.

By then, the world's situation will be his own, and Gong Buyu can suppress it with a flip of his hand.

He looked at the huge altar in front of him, which was 95 feet high, connecting this world like a mountain.

Emperor Xia's robe fluttered, his left hand gently supported the sword of humanity on his waist, his right hand held the seal of the emperor, and he slowly took a step towards the altar in front of him.

"Boom!"

Instantly, the heaven and earth seemed to sense something, and a huge thunder tore through the sky and fell towards the imperial capital. Wherever the thunder light reached, countless evil spirits turned into ashes.

The luck of humanity gathered above the imperial capital, and the huge imperial capital formation rose from this ancient city, revealing a giant tripod phantom that easily blocked the thunder.

In the territory of Daxia, the statues of the city gods in various shapes in the city god temples suddenly trembled, and weak spirituality was born in them.

Although Emperor Xia was old, his steps were steady. In the few breaths of time when the thunder struck, he climbed up dozens of steps to a higher place.

Every time he stepped on a step, the incense in the city god furnace placed on it began to condense into a body, turning into a statue of a god wearing a robe and with a strange face.

The sky trembled, and thunder struck from the sky again, and was also swallowed by the treasure tripod transformed by the formation.

But this time the treasure tripod was far less relaxed than before. A ray of lightning escaped from the treasure tripod, and the pale thunder fell like a rain curtain and scattered all over the imperial capital.

"Hmph!"

Emperor Xia's footsteps suddenly paused, and he uttered a muffled groan.

But then he resumed his pace and continued to climb up.

As the thunder fell one after another, the fate of humanity, which had already been damaged, fell into turmoil again, and the thunder scattered into the imperial capital increased.

In front of the altar, the civil and military officials looked at the scene in front of them, and their eyes flashed with uncertainty.

In their view, Emperor Xia opened the Capital City God Grand Ceremony to confer the title of the world's city gods, which was a great trend to protect all human beings.

Although this move may not be rewarded by heaven and earth, it will not attract so many thunder disasters.

Of course, if it was just this matter, the civil and military officials would have doubts, but they would not show it.

After all, none of the officials present had ever experienced the Grand Ceremony of the City God of the Capital, and some of the information they knew was from records in ancient books, which might not be accurate.

However, the various things that Xia Yunqiu had led before exposed Emperor Xia's desire for the Grand Ceremony of the City God of the Capital, and had long planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of all officials.

Such an abnormal thunderstorm, coupled with Emperor Xia's willingness to cede the position of the City God to the underworld and local nobles, and to force the Grand Ceremony of the City God of the Capital, has already made the civil and military officials vaguely feel an ominous premonition.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Wen, the head of the Three Dukes, took a step forward and shouted loudly to Emperor Xia who was climbing up the altar:

"Your Majesty, there is a thunderstorm falling when the Grand Ceremony of the City God of the Capital is opened today. This is due to the will of heaven.

The will of heaven cannot be violated. Please temporarily stop the Grand Ceremony and make a decision after finding out the will of heaven!"

When Prime Minister Wen spoke, he immediately resonated with many civil and military officials who were worried in the court.

One by one, the officials stepped forward and gave a warning to Emperor Xia.

"Your Majesty, please stop the grand ceremony!"

"The thunderstorm has arrived, this is an ominous sign!"

"Your Majesty, please order an auspicious day!"

The civil and military officials themselves symbolize a crucial part of the dynasty's fortune. As the civil and military officials spoke in unison, the dynasty's fortune fell into turmoil in an instant.

Even if he was a humane emperor, he could not completely ignore the advice of the civil and military officials.

Emperor Xia's pace slowed down slightly. At this moment, he had already felt the pressure from the civil and military officials.

Turning around and looking behind him, Emperor Xia's eyes rose with an undisguised disgust.

Under normal circumstances, with his majesty as the emperor of Daxia for decades, even if the officials doubted him, they would not dare to stop him at this time.

But it was because of Xia Yunqiu's existence that he constantly hit his reputation, eroded his humane luck and control over the court.

Even if the tough guy, the Imperial Envoy, was taken down, it would not be possible to prevent the turmoil in the court and the will of the civil and military officials from shifting.

Originally, Emperor Xia did not take action against the civil and military officials just to preserve the fortune of the dynasty, but now that the arrow is on the string, he can no longer care about anything else.

With a wave of his sleeves, Emperor Xia said coldly:

"All those who speak out, suspend their duties and be detained in the Heavenly Prison to await their fate."

"Yes!"

Under the altar, many palace eunuchs standing in a book responded in unison, and they all burst out with cultivation above the level of transformation.

Originally, there were many practitioners among the civil and military officials, but facing more than ten eunuchs in the realm of transformation, they had no ability to resist and were taken down in an instant.

"What are you doing?"

"As the emperor of Daxia, you violate the will of humanity. You are simply unworthy of being the emperor of man!"

"Stupid monarch! Stupid monarch!"

The fortune of the dynasty was forcibly torn apart, like a crumbling building. Such a huge change naturally affected the imperial capital formation.

The shadow of the tripod that swallowed the thunder suddenly dimmed a few points at this moment, and the roar of the formation seemed to be about to collapse.

Emperor Xia ignored it and took another step to climb the altar.

As he stepped onto the last step, the 3,650 city god furnaces were all lit up, and Emperor Xia came to the incense burner at the top of the altar.

This incense burner was forged from bronze, and the rust on it seemed to have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. On the table next to it were three pillars of Mingshendao incense.

Emperor Xia looked at the sky and said loudly:

"I, as the emperor of mankind, will announce to the world and re-establish the positions of the city gods.

All the city gods will enjoy the incense and sacrifice of Daxia, and will never fall!"

As the voice fell, in the 3,650 city god temples in Daxia, the city god statues spiritually manifested as gods and appeared in the world.

Then a divine light rose above the temples of the various city gods, flying towards the imperial capital like a meteor, and converging towards the magnificent temple above the altar.

The true spirits of the various city gods entered the main temple, manifesting as golden statues, making the magnificent temple more solid, and huge incense domains began to spread through the temples.

Everyone suddenly looked up at the sky. The thunder tribulation that had originally fallen like rain was now weakening, and could not even shake the imperial capital formation whose foundation was damaged.

The more the incense domains of the various city gods spread, the weaker the thunder tribulation.

Between the towering mountains, the spreading incense domains of the various city gods seemed to have turned into another world different from the present world.

At this moment, Emperor Xia finally showed a satisfied smile.

The three pillars of Mingshen Dao incense in his hand ignited without fire, and wisps of green smoke rose into the temple. Emperor Xia reached out and inserted the three incense sticks into the bronze incense burner in front of him.

"The City God of the Capital has returned!"

There seemed to be a grand sound between heaven and earth. At this moment, the 3,650 City God spirits in the temple gathered together and transformed into a majestic god who took the main seat of the temple.

This god wore an imperial robe and a crown. At the moment he appeared, the incense and fire domain in the imperial capital spread out, instantly covering the land of Jingzhou.

The civil and military officials suppressed by the eunuchs looked at the god who was transformed by the gathering of 3,650 City God spirits in shock. Behind the glazed crown, his face was exactly the same as that of Emperor Xia.

"Impossible!"

"How could Emperor Xia become the City God of the Capital when he holds the title of the Emperor of Man?"

"Yin and Yang are reversed, and there is no distinction between humans and gods. This is not a god, but a great demon!"

The officials were shocked and angry, but they were powerless to stop it.

As the last piece of the incense and fire domain puzzle in Daxia was completed, the entire Daxia was shrouded in the incense and fire domain.

At this moment, Emperor Xia could no longer conceal his excitement. He opened his arms and laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha!"

"Even if there is a blessed land to stop us, what can we do? The appearance of the Fangcun Secret Realm is the help of heaven, and destiny is in my hands!"

While speaking, Emperor Xia looked towards the direction of the imperial capital market with a majestic gaze. Gong Buyu, holding the Taoist mirror, overwhelmed Zhou Kuang.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Xia at this moment, the battle of the True Spirit Refining Realm was like a fight between ants and was not worth mentioning.

Slowly raising his right hand, Emperor Xia was about to wipe out the remaining hidden danger.

But at this moment, a ray of sunlight suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, illuminating the world that had been in darkness for a long time.

Seven days later, the terrifying solar eclipse finally retreated.

Above the sky, the entrance to the black hole transformed by the Fangcun Secret Realm slowly shrank at this moment, and then a series of starlight streaked across the sky and fell into the imperial capital.

In the starlight that looked like a meteor shower, it was the many strong men who had participated in the Fangcun Secret Realm trial before.

"Just in time!"

Emperor Xia sneered, not afraid of the powerful spirit-refining aura in the stars.

With a wave of his hand, the entire imperial capital formation was operating under his will.

He had been unable to fully control the destiny of humanity, so he needed to rely on the many armies in the imperial capital to mobilize the imperial capital formation to suppress the strong.

But now the world's situation is all his own, and with the blessing of the incense and fire domains throughout Daxia, Emperor Xia can control the imperial capital formation by himself.

"Suppress!"

In the city god temple, the city god who gathered 3,650 city god spirits spoke, and the sound of the magnificent power of heaven resounded through the world.

All the cultivators who escaped from the square inch secret realm felt infinite pressure falling on them before they could breathe a sigh of relief.

"What is this?"

"Incense and fire domain?"

"How could Emperor Xia gather the incense and fire domain in such a short time? What did he do?"

The faces of many sect practitioners changed drastically, especially many refining gods who looked at the city god with extremely solemn expressions.

They experienced the Dao Mark disaster in the Fangcun Secret Realm, and the battle between the Supreme Daozi and the unknown strong man almost shattered the entire secret realm.

The earth-shaking battle lasted for several days. Even after it ended, the destruction caused to the secret realm was still difficult to recover. During this period, the rules of the secret realm collapsed and it was impossible to leave.

It was not until the Fangcun Secret Realm reenacted the creation of the world in the Dao Mark disaster, and the secret realm was rebuilt by the talisman to open up the sky and the chaos to evolve the earth, water, wind and fire, that the almost completely destroyed Fangcun Secret Realm was repaired.

Until a few breaths ago, the entrance to the Fangcun Secret Realm suddenly opened again.

After witnessing that battle, many cultivators did not expect to be the final winner of the secret realm. They knew very well that in front of such a force, even the refining gods were no different from ants.

All the practitioners chose to escape from the secret realm and return to the world, and the immortals of the cave heaven holy land were no exception.

Who would have thought that they would just get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den? The power of the city god and the suppression of the imperial capital formation made them feel the same threat as in the square inch secret realm.

"Damn it!"

"Do it, don't hold back!"

"Return to the sect, please let the ancestors decide!"

As they spoke, more than ten Yang God Dharma images rose to the sky, like giant gods standing tall and holding up the huge formation.

And in this process, what everyone did not expect was that the manifestation of these Yang God Dharma images did not attract the thunder tribulation of heaven and earth.

Before many cultivators understood the reason, the city god sitting in the center of the temple moved.

The city god, who was exactly the same as Emperor Xia, slowly raised his right hand, and the golden giant hand condensed by the city god's true spirit and incense will power descended with the incense domain as the medium.

The golden giant hand covered an area of ​​dozens of miles, easily covering the area where the monks of various sects had landed. Under the palm of the hand, it seemed as if the incense and fire domain of this world was suppressing itself.

Whether it was the magical secrets or the magic of spiritual treasures, they were all forcibly suppressed under the cover of this golden giant hand. Only more than ten Yang Shen Dharma images that looked like the rising sun could protect themselves.

However, the Yang Shen Dharma image was already at its limit to compete with the imperial capital formation. In addition, this golden giant hand was completely powerless to resist, and cracks began to appear on each Yang Shen Dharma image.

At this moment, at the entrance of the black hole that had shrunk to the extreme in the sky, a giant hand that seemed to be transformed by chaos stretched out from the square inch secret realm and met the golden giant hand that fell from the city god.

Wherever the chaotic giant hand reached, the light dimmed and the space collapsed. Even the incense and fire wishes were completely annihilated in the chaos.

The chaotic giant hand, which evolved the power of returning all things to the abyss, forcibly tore the incense and fire domain and smashed the golden giant hand.

"Impossible!"

Emperor Xia's eyes were filled with anger.

At the entrance of the black hole, a young man in white robes slowly stepped out of the secret realm, and the black hole disappeared in an instant.

In this world that has returned to light, only one person stood proudly.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock, and the same name echoed in their hearts.

The Supreme Taoist!

I recommend a very interesting fantasy novel.

Introduction: When Chen Wu, the master of national martial arts who failed to find the way and sat in Zhongnan, traveled to a world where martial arts flourished and planes intersected.

The flesh is no longer his shackles, and neither is his mind.

Chen Wu thought: "So the highest realm of hitting people like hanging a painting is the two-dimensional foil..."

"Is this the reason why you punched the entire star destroyer fleet into two dimensions?!
