Chapter 989: Alliances
Neither the Vairocana, nor the Three Noble Children, nor even the Daoists led by Sage Qingwei could slay Izanagi, but a Heavenly Tribulation did.
This time, Izanagi was truly dead.
The immediate effect was stark. Half his divine kingdom collapsed, which marked his second death. All that he left behind was a name. When memory of him faded from the world, that would be his third death—true obliteration.
As Izanagi’s divine kingdom collapsed, the Three Yin Beings withdrew through the yin-yang rift back into the Ghost Kingdom.
The Sakka carried Qi Xuansu and followed Sage Qingwei out. Later, this pinnacle of creation returned on its own. Though it did not have consciousness, it retained instincts befitting a manmade god.
The Great Tengu, Tamamo-no-Mae, and Princess Himiya Akiko immediately sensed the Sakka’s presence, feeling its awe-inspiring pressure, greater even than Sage Qingwei’s.
The Sakka was unlike any living being, so the Great Yokai of Fenglin did not realize that he was the legendary manmade god.
Instead, they concluded that another Daoist Immortal had arrived at a critical time.
That was why they dared not betray the alliance mid-battle. The Daoists sending only two Immortals into the field did not mean they had only two. They could always dispatch more reinforcements when necessary.
The Sakka’s very presence was proof of this. Someone stronger than Sage Qingwei had joined the fray.
Soon, they also noticed Sage Qingwei’s unusual condition.
The Sage Commander wielded three divine artifacts! In Daoist terms, that was three immortal objects.
