Chapter 270 : The Fanatical and Inverted Order
Chapter 270: The Fanatical and Inverted Order
With the Buddhist Sect taking the lead, the believers of the Western Spirit Domain, whether cultivators or mortals, completely stood against those Evil Souls.
After all, in their eyes, the Buddhist Sect was heaven itself, and they worshipped the Buddha.
Moreover, neither the cultivators nor the mortals realized that, as these emotions continued to ferment, the entire Western Spirit Domain seemed to be shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
“The Buddha is about to descend.”
“Exterminate evil and eliminate wickedness.”
One fanatical group after another continuously formed throughout the Western Spirit Domain. Especially the mortals, who picked up hoes, whatever weapons they could find, and all kinds of frenzied methods to relentlessly strike at those Evil Souls.
Such as black dog blood, incense that had been offered before Buddha statues, talismans...
All kinds of methods were continuously employed, yet the Evil Souls searching for the Evil Demons completely ignored them, because they clearly understood Li Tianwei's methods.
If they attacked these mortals, they would definitely suffer unbearable consequences.
The Northern Spirit Domain was a perfect example, so these Evil Souls simply did not dare to attack them and could only choose to leave.
Thus, scenes like this could be witnessed throughout the Western Spirit Domain.
A phantom radiating supreme yin and supreme evil appeared on the streets, and countless people immediately attacked it together. All kinds of filthy things, and anything they believed could deal with ghosts, were constantly hurled at it.
Since most of the Evil Souls controlled by the Sun–Moon Banner had once been cultivators, although they had experienced being suppressed by Li Tianwei in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, in their eyes, they had merely lost to Li Tianwei.
They were still lofty cultivators.
Being treated that way by Li Tianwei was one thing, but now they were being treated like this by mere mortals. How could they possibly endure it?
Unfortunately, restricted by Li Tianwei's orders, they could only glare viciously at these ignorant fools before leaving helplessly.
Thus, under the mortals' relentless bombardment, it seemed as though the Evil Souls had suffered some terrifying blow and fled in panic.
“It ran away! This stuff really works! My son's childhood urine, ox tears—even these willow branches work!”
The mortals became increasingly excited and fanatical.
Invisible to all, a strange emotion and consciousness continued to expand and spread.
There were even signs that it would spread throughout the entire Western Spirit Domain.
Black dog blood suppressed evil.
Consecrated magical artifacts protected homes.
They could ward off wandering ghosts and vengeful spirits.
Some even claimed that the Buddha was about to descend, and it was only through His blessing that those Evil Souls had nowhere left to hide.
The Buddhist Sect continuously expanded its influence through these methods.
From top to bottom, the entire Western Spirit Domain had completely fallen into a bizarre state.
This strange conflict and opposition constantly targeted those Evil Souls.
As these emotions continued to brew, the Evil Souls were obstructed by mortals and intercepted by cultivators, greatly reducing their ability to fight the Evil Demons.
Everything unfolded exactly as the Tianshu Demon Lord had planned and arranged.
He even looked forward more and more to the moment when he had completely deceived the entire Western Spirit Domain.
When that time came, everything would come to an end.
Even the Tianshu Demon Lord had not expected things to proceed so smoothly.
The main reason was that those Evil Souls were simply too sinister.
Compared to the Evil Demons hidden among the cultivators.
“Your power will become my opportunity to replace the Dao in the Western Spirit Domain.”
“Too sinister.”
“Unlike me.”
After thinking this, the Tianshu Demon Lord slowly sat down cross-legged. His originally grotesque, bloodshot, bizarre figure gradually became shrouded in a hazy veil.
At the same time, faint Buddhist light overflowed, while lotus flowers floated and revolved around him.
Brilliant radiance shimmered as heavenly splendor descended. Countless ribbons intertwined, forming a solemn and majestic figure.
Merely standing in midair caused everything else in the world to lose its brilliance.
The Heavenly Dao cried out, as though at this moment he had become the faith upon which all living beings placed their hopes.
Formless and invisible, yet capable of taking on whatever appearance one imagined or prayed for.
The divine has no fixed form.
“Excellent, excellent...”
The Tianshu Demon Lord chanted slowly.
His Buddhist voice echoed throughout the land, and the ideological foundation of the entire Western Spirit Domain seemed to be continuously tipping over.
At the same time, the people of the Western Spirit Domain became even more fanatical, completely regarding the Evil Souls controlled by the Sun–Moon Banner as supreme evil.
The Sun–Moon Banner, faithfully following Li Tianwei's orders, sensed the continuous destruction of the Evil Souls, the countless methods used by those bald monks, and the nearly ignorant obstruction of countless mortals.
It was utterly exasperated.
“These mortals, you damned fools! I'm trying to save you!”
“Those are the Evil Demons, you idiots!”
The Sun–Moon Banner continuously cursed as it watched the mortals and cultivators who had been completely manipulated and turned into mere tools.
Even so, the Sun–Moon Banner dared not stop. Instead, it turned its gaze toward Li Tianwei below.
At this moment, Li Tianwei still maintained his posture of looking up at the sky.
The Sun–Moon Banner had no idea why Li Tianwei had remained in that posture the entire time.
In any case, he had maintained it for a very long time.
The Sun–Moon Banner did not dare ask and simply continued carrying out Li Tianwei's orders.
Meanwhile, inside Li Tianwei's consciousness, the System was completely dumbfounded.
Had it not sensed that Li Tianwei's consciousness still existed, it would have thought Li Tianwei had fallen into a trap laid by the Evil Demons.
He had actually stood there motionless, staring at the sky for so long.
【Host, Host, what's wrong with you?】
The System finally could not help asking.
It had tried communicating with him for a long time, yet still received no reply from Li Tianwei.
At this point, it had already begun to panic.
【Host, Host, are you alright? Hurry and wake up! Could the Evil Demons have used some kind of method?】
【You're a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the born protagonist! It's impossible for anything to happen to you.】
At this point, the System could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly shouted.
“Be quiet. You're very noisy, you know?”
Since the System no longer babbled like before, constantly mentioning False Spiritual Roots, Li Tianwei had stopped blocking its voice.
After all, the System also had the freedom to speak.
He could not keep muting it forever.
Of course, whether it chose to speak was another matter.
【Host, you're awake!】
Seeing Li Tianwei respond, the System finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“I wasn't sleeping. Naturally, I've been awake the whole time.”
Li Tianwei answered calmly.
【Then what happened?】
The System still could not suppress its curiosity and asked.
“Nothing.”
“I was merely analyzing what I saw.”
Li Tianwei gazed toward the sky, where the Heavenly Eye had previously been.
“It's rare to encounter something that requires me to think seriously.”
The reason Li Tianwei had remained motionless was very simple.
It was because of the Heavenly Eye that had disappeared earlier.
To everyone else, it was merely a Heavenly Eye.
But in Li Tianwei's eyes, it was an entirely new kind of power.
And this completely new power seemed capable of overturning everything.
Thus, Li Tianwei began to learn.
And his method of learning was simply to keep staring at it.
