Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 590 Overturns the Identity of the Human Race's Protagonist! Unleashes a Cataclysmic Calamity in the Three Realms!
For the sixth prince, what sustained him was not the Buddhist ideals, but his unwavering determination to restore his kingdom.

If it weren't for his unwavering commitment to restoring his kingdom, he wouldn't have been able to persevere until joining Ruzhen Temple after Lion Camel Ridge had become a living hell.

It's important to understand that the fall of the Lion Camel Kingdom was not a simple matter that took only a few years.

Before Luofu entered the shared space, for a long time, the so-called Lion Camel Kingdom had already been occupied by the former Green-haired Lion Spirit, Yellow-tusked White Elephant, and Golden-winged Roc.

It can be said that the sixth prince's inner conviction from childhood to adulthood was to fulfill his dream of restoring the nation.

Even now, with the help of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's supernatural powers, he understands that the Lion Camel Kingdom's misfortune was entirely due to karma, but he still cannot give up.

In his heart, restoring the nation was the ultimate goal, and what he learned from Buddhism was merely for practical application.

The essential and the trivial cannot be reversed.

Otherwise, the result would be disastrous.

"Bodhisattva, please have mercy." The sixth prince bowed deeply and said, "This disciple wishes to cultivate good deeds and earnestly requests the guidance of the Bodhisattva."

As if he had anticipated the sixth prince's answer, Ksitigarbha sighed and said, "Foolish child, karma cannot be erased or changed within a single calamity. If you wish to revive a nation, you do not have the great courage to endure such a calamity."

"This disciple is willing," the Sixth Prince said almost without hesitation.

"I once made a great vow: I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty. Today I wish to start a calamity, a calamity to help the countless suffering souls in hell to cleanse their sins and be reborn in the human realm. Are you willing to do it?"

The sixth prince nodded directly and said, "This disciple is willing to do it."

With a nod and a smile, Ksitigarbha said, "Go."

Suddenly enlightened, as if he understood something, the Sixth Prince stood up and reached out. Although he was still in the state of a living soul and his physical body was still outside the gate of Ruzhen Temple, strangely, the Eagle Claw Hammer appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Having strode past Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Sixth Prince headed straight for the depths of the underworld.

A moment later, a deafening roar erupted from the underworld.

The next moment, countless souls screamed and wailed, cheered and jumped for joy.

world.

The sixth prince stumbled.

Many servants rushed forward.

The sixth prince, whose soul had returned from the underworld, said with a pale face, "I have secured an opportunity for the Lion Camel Kingdom to restore its glory. Are you all willing to follow me and revive our ancestral legacy?"

It's completely unclear what the Sixth Prince did in the underworld.

But these loyal servants still went without hesitation, saying in unison, "We swear to follow Your Highness to the death."

Inside Ruzhen Temple.

The commotion outside the mountain gate naturally did not escape Luo Fu's notice, and he even had complete control over everything that was happening in the underworld.

Luo Fu had no idea that the Sixth Prince's obsession with restoring his kingdom was so strong that he was even willing to risk everything for a gamble.

Luo Fu was well aware that from the moment the Sixth Prince started this calamity, his intermediate-level Dharma lineage had been drawn into the calamity.

Of course, the so-called ancestor of the Middle Vehicle Buddhism of Luofu is the supreme being of all Pratyekabuddhas, who attain the unsurpassed fruition of a Pratyekabuddha.

Even if a calamity were to befall him now, he would not personally get involved.

More importantly, Luofu's role is similar to that of the Buddha in the current Journey to the West.

But once a calamity is unleashed, even a sage cannot control it precisely.

Just like back then, when Haotian begged Zixiao Palace and all living beings were on the Investiture of the Gods list, how could Tongtian Jiaozhu have imagined that after the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, his once-prosperous Jie Sect, with its myriad immortals paying homage, would vanish in a short time with the fall of Shang and the rise of Zhou.

Even during the tribulations of the Journey to the West, the powerful beings of the heavens were still constantly scheming against each other.

The journey to the West is filled with eighty-one tribulations, many of which even the Buddha himself faced, forcing him to compromise.

Luofu is no exception.

Heaven knows how many powerful beings from the Three Realms will seize the opportunity to intervene in this calamity that erupts simultaneously with the Journey to the West.
The Buddhist and Taoist lineages, along with many powerful rogue cultivators from the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, certainly wouldn't mind betting on such a calamity, since calamities are incredibly profitable.

Even during the so-called "Gods' Tribulation," which was said to be a calamity that killed gods, a large number of cultivators ultimately gained a great deal of merit.

This calamity is both a tremendous crisis and an unprecedented opportunity.

Since the sixth prince has taken on the responsibility of instigating this calamity, his future is destined to end up like Jiang Ziya's.

They couldn't even compare to the westward-bound teams.

Of course, the Sixth Prince was also of the Ruzhen lineage, and there was also the deal he made with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva before.

The moment this ordeal is resolved, the sixth prince must take on his responsibilities.

He will become Ksitigarbha's assistant in liberating people from hell.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can attain Buddhahood by liberating beings from hell, but the sixth prince, even as an assistant, will ultimately not benefit much.

Who told the Sixth Prince to forcibly initiate this calamity?

Even if this calamity is an inevitable consequence of the workings of Heaven, those who lift the lid, regardless of their motives or even if they are acting in accordance with Heaven's will ultimately not have a good end.

Lion Camel Ridge.

After losing three kings, the 48,000 lesser demons couldn't have simply scattered. You must understand, the demons of Lion Camel Ridge are different from those of the past; they are a demon kingdom that has truly established a system.

The monsters encountered by the westward-bound team during their arduous journey were mostly just small fry who were mountain bandits.

Establishing a sound organizational system is definitely not something that can be built through unorthodox methods without any lineage.

Monsters that maintain even a semblance of order usually have powerful backers.

Without the three demon kings, the monsters of Lion Camel Ridge did not scatter; instead, eight more demon kings appeared.

Perhaps because they were no longer restrained, the 48,000 monsters, having formed gangs, grew stronger and stronger in a short period of time, even becoming the most powerful force in Xiniu Hezhou.

In terms of sheer power, it was comparable to the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land of Jambudvipa, one of the four great continents.

The difference is that the Tang Dynasty in the East was a true golden age for the human race, but Lion Camel Ridge has become a kingdom truly belonging to demons, a pure demon nation.

From the Lion Camel Kingdom, for an unknown distance, the entire area was permeated with demonic energy.

Strangely, this demonic aura was different from the usual aura of a mountain king; it actually exuded a sense of grandeur.

This means that the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom has become a force recognized by the Heavenly Dao, just as the Demon Heavenly Court was the orthodox power of the Three Realms during the Lich War.

The Lion Camel Demon Kingdom now appears to have a more orthodox air about it.

This is quite scary.

In the Three Realms, the human race is the true protagonist. The establishment of such a demon kingdom is simply challenging the sensitive area of ​​the human race.

After the Lich Wars, the human race became the protagonist of the universe, but the human race was no longer necessarily the protagonist of the universe. The reason is simple: during the Lich Wars, the Wu and Yao races were the true protagonists of the universe, while the human race was merely a newly created race by Nuwa.

In the vast and primordial world, the human race had no status whatsoever. Although created by sages, they were merely one of the sentient beings struggling to survive.

To some extent, the positioning of the protagonist of heaven and earth is like a bidding process driven by the general trend of heaven.

Heaven's justice is impartial and does not favor any particular race.

The human race was able to become the protagonist of heaven and earth because of the extraordinary ancestors who fought their way through hardships.

But this does not mean that no other race can replace humans.

Since the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Wu tribe has repeatedly tried to make a comeback. Chi You, who fought against the Yellow Emperor in the Battle of Zhuolu, was a typical example.

At present, the monsters of Lion Camel Ridge have raised their banners again, and are beginning to show signs of truly competing with the human race for the leading role in the world.

Even now, the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom can only be considered a newly emerging and weak force.

It was like the end of a dynasty.

Even if the world is in constant turmoil, as long as the legitimate dynasty still has the power to suppress it, anyone who dares to stand out will become a key target of the legitimate dynasty.

Unfortunately, the Lion Camel Kingdom has now become such a target that is about to be heavily attacked.

The moment the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom was officially established and began to exude that incredibly weak sense of grandeur.

In Xiniu Hezhou, countless small kingdoms couldn't help but look in the direction of the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom.

Ordinary small countries might just feel something is amiss, and a strong sense of crisis arises in their hearts regarding the direction of the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom.

However, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Continent and the Eastern Land of Jambudvipa, who created the Zhenguan era, was the first to feel the turmoil in the country.

It's important to know that in this world, Li Shimin's identity is far from simple.

His true identity is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor of the North Pole.

Ordinary beings may not know the identity of the Ziwei Emperor, but those who have experienced the Investiture of the Gods will understand that the Ziwei Emperor was also a human before he was listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

The appearance of the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom was absolutely unacceptable to Li Shimin, both in his past and present lives.

Feeling threatened, Li Shimin immediately summoned his ministers, including those from the Imperial Observatory.

Wei Zheng, who once dreamt of slaying a dragon, submitted a memorial to the Heavenly Court, and in just a short while, he gave Li Shimin an unbelievable message.

In Xiniu Hezhou, there are many demon races who attempt to overthrow the human race's status as the protagonist of the world and unleash a catastrophe in the Three Realms.

This news spread rapidly from the Tang Dynasty.

In a short period of time, with the Tang Dynasty in the eastern part of Jambudvipa as the core, countless human kingdoms, large and small, reached a consensus without prior agreement.

This Lion Camel Demon Kingdom absolutely cannot exist.

This is not a struggle for interests or power.

No benefit can compare to the continuation of a people.

This is a war that truly concerns the life and death of humanity; there is no room for compromise.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty of the East, there was the human god Wei Zheng, who even understood the situation of the great calamity of the Lich King back then.

From the perspective of the human race, the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom was not just an internal rebellion, but something even different from the Battle of Zhuolu between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor.

In the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You, though a great shaman, was of human blood, but the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom was a complete anomaly.

If the human race was able to rise against the tide during the Lich Wars, these so-called Lion Camel Demon Kingdoms might not be unable to do the same.

Humanity has only one attitude towards any being that might threaten its position as the dominant force in the world: kill without mercy.

In a short period of time, countless cultivators from the Three Realms joined the Tang Dynasty's ranks in the Eastern Lands.

With troops and provisions readily available, along with numerous kingdoms of varying sizes in Xiniu Hezhou, an incredibly large allied army was formed.

After its establishment, the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom seemed to be driven by the destiny of Heaven.

The Sixth Prince's trip to the Underworld brought countless powerful beings to the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom.

It should be understood that the true depths of the eighteen levels of hell are not only inhabited by the dead, but also by a large number of powerful beings with profound karmic burdens.

These beings, neither human nor ghost, who wreak havoc on the human world, were previously suppressed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the depths of the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld, so they naturally do not affect the Three Realms.

But as the sixth prince shattered the seal deep within hell.

Numerous divine souls, along with those ancient giants, escaped the suppression of the eighteen levels of hell, and the place they returned to in the human world was none other than the Lion Camel Kingdom.

On one side are demons, and on the other are the giants of the underworld and fierce ghosts and evil spirits that have been suppressed for countless years. The two sides can be said to have hit it off immediately.

This is why, in such a short time, the commotion caused by the Lion Camel Kingdom even shook the Great Tang Dynasty in the Southern Continent.

The monsters below the eighteenth level of hell are incredibly powerful. These monsters are a collection of almost all non-human beings, including demons, ghosts, monsters, and even some ancient witches. They have all rushed into the human world and joined the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom.

It can be said that in a short period of time, the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom has become a force of considerable importance in the human world.

Especially after the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom gained that majestic aura, it meant that they had received the favor of Heaven.

Luck is like a buff in some ways.

For ordinary people, when their luck is strong, turning misfortune into good fortune and disaster into auspiciousness is commonplace. For cultivators, as long as they are blessed with good fortune, they will not fail in alchemy or weapon crafting. Even in terms of cultivation, they can achieve success naturally and easily break through bottlenecks.

With the addition of powerful figures from the depths of hell, coupled with the increase in their luck, even the more than 48,000 minor demons who had previously sided with the Green-haired Lion Demon and the Yellow-toothed White Elephant saw their cultivation levels rise rapidly in a short period of time.

As the first to bear the brunt, Ruzhen Temple naturally became the first stumbling block and obstacle in front of the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom.

The commotion in the Lion Camel Kingdom even prompted the Great Tang Dynasty in the East to mobilize its troops, with countless cultivators joining the mortal army. A mighty and imposing force marched westward.

The monks of Ruzhen Temple could not possibly be unaware of this.

Within the main hall.

Luofu held aloft atop a lotus platform with red stamens and white lotus petals; disciples such as the Seven Emotions Bodhisattva, the Dragon-Headed Arhat, the Yellow-Toothed Arhat, and the Golden-Light Arhat stood on either side.

Even the many Pratyekabuddhas who had visited Ruzhen Temple once before and then returned to their respective homes as birds and beasts on Mount Nyima, gathered together at this moment.

Clearly, the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom is the beginning of a great calamity for humanity.

These Pratyekabuddhas would certainly not let such an opportunity pass them by.

“Buddha, the Lion Camel Demon Kingdom’s fate is sealed. We must not take it lightly. As Buddhist disciples, we should use swift and decisive means to slay the demons and eliminate evil.”

A Pratyekabuddha stepped forward and bowed to Luofu, saying...
