I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

But the description on this page is completely different from that of demons and monsters.

[Divine Position - Judge Lu]

[Description: One of the eighteen judges of the Yama's Palace, a third-tier deity. Killing him grants eight thousand years of cultivation or offsets an equivalent amount of divine punishment.]

[Cultivation Level: 8000/80000]

[Powers: Exile, Rebirth, Sanction]

In other words, by killing this one god, you no longer need to kill demons and monsters to overcome tribulations; you can directly break through to the next stage.

This is a tribulation to be overcome.

As judges of the same rank, the other party's strength is far inferior to that of Judge Cui, isn't it? Although his displayed cultivation seems to be higher than Judge Cui's, it's only one-tenth of his level, while Judge Cui's is one-hundredth.

Lin Yi wasn't surprised; the difference between even the highest-ranking officials was so significant!

Perhaps it's because Judge Lu is relatively inexperienced!

After a brief exchange with his opponent, Lin Yi immediately stepped back a few paces to create distance.

One judge Lu is enough to give him trouble, not to mention the Moonlight Buddha.

Although the Moonlight Buddha's hands are now fractured, he may not necessarily be without fighting power. The current situation is even more dire than before.

Unlike the pretentious Judge Cui, Judge Lu was ruthless and taciturn. After rescuing the Moonlight Buddha, he launched a fierce offensive against Lin Yi.

His weapon was a judge's pen, the tip of which was just a bristle. Lin Yi didn't pay attention and it scratched him, but blood immediately gushed out.

Fortunately, his wound healed quickly, and he recovered in just a few breaths.

This surprised Judge Lu.

The flesh wounded by his judge's pen will be eroded by his power, constantly breaking apart and never healing until death.

This person was able to eliminate his power so quickly; he was truly remarkable.

So he became even more aggressive, and Lin Yi didn't dare to rely on his defense to directly block the opponent's weapon. He took the Demon-Slaying Sword and started fighting with him.

Lin Yi has lost five hundred years of cultivation, but the fight seems evenly matched.

This is also because they only fight with weapons, relying solely on strength and speed.

Speed ​​includes both attack speed and reaction speed, and Lin Yi excels in both. In addition, with dynamic vision, although Lu Pan's attack was fast, he could not escape Lin Yi's capture.

In terms of strength, Lin Yi was even stronger, so it's not surprising that the two fought to a standstill.

Seeing that Lin Yi was already locked in combat with Judge Lu, the Moonlight Buddha naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

He is injured and unable to engage in close combat, but he still possesses a special ability.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

The six-syllable mantra of Buddhism was uttered one by one, and the sound transformed into golden characters, suppressing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was already struggling to face Lu Pan alone, and with the added attack from the Moonlight Buddha, he was powerless to dodge and could only let the Six-Syllable Mantra strike him.

Suddenly, it felt as if he was carrying six mountains on his back, and his movements became noticeably slower.

Judge Lu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He took the judge's pen and pointed it at Lin Yi's brow.

His pen might be impenetrable to defense; if it were to poke at him, it could potentially pierce a hole in his forehead.

Lin Yi's eyes turned cold. In this critical moment, he showed no panic. Instead, the six-syllable mantra of the Moonlight Buddha just now appeared in his mind.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

Lin Yi roared out the six sounds with the sound of a tiger's roar, the sound like thunder, and the waves that could be seen with the naked eye rushed forward, causing Lu Pan to retreat repeatedly.

At the same time, Lin Yi felt a burning sensation between his eyebrows, which was the location of his third eye.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Yi's long period of cultivation that it had matured, and coupled with the serious threat it had suffered this time, it had a stress response. Lin Yi felt that his mind was completely absorbed by this eye.

He had repelled Lu Pan and was about to launch an attack, but now he could only clutch his temples in pain.

In that instant when he tilted his head, a golden pattern suddenly split open between his brows, and a deep, mysterious vertical eye opened.

As Lin Yi opened his eyes, he felt all his vital energy being drained away by that one eye. He lost his sight in both eyes, leaving only that one eye able to see.

And the Moon-White Light Buddha was within his field of vision.

Lin Yi looked at him and saw the Moonlight Buddha age and decay at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pile of bones, which turned into sand when blown by the wind...

Chapter 364 Fellow Daoist, Shall We Rebel Together?

Lin Yi's third eye only lasted for three seconds, but the fear it instilled was something that could never be erased for a lifetime.

The victim had turned to ashes, and the eyewitness, Judge Lu, looked terrified.

As a deity, he couldn't discern what kind of power it was; it resembled a wicked secret technique for extracting vital energy, yet it wasn't entirely like that.

As Lu Pan watched Lin Yi's eyes slowly close between his brows, a chill ran down his spine.

He didn't know what it was, but he was certain it wasn't something that could exist in the human world.

In other words, is this person also a reincarnation of some deity?

If that's the case, then there's a lot of trouble ahead.

For someone so young to possess such cultivation and such extraordinary abilities, they must have a very powerful background. Since he has offended such a being, he will likely have a difficult time living in peace in the future.

Fortunately, Lu Pan realized that Lin Yi's supernatural power was definitely not something he could fully control. At this moment, he was only able to stay upright by supporting himself with the Demon-Slaying Sword, and his eyes were still tightly closed.

Is this the consequence of overusing secret techniques?

Lu Pan hardened his heart. Since he had already offended him to death, he had no choice but to send him on his way.

Let's cultivate again in the next life, if you have a next life!

At this moment, Lin Yi had no power to resist. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes and would probably be blind for a short time. He could hear the wind whistling as Lu Pan attacked. He could only hastily raise his sword to parry.

But at this moment, he was completely powerless, and the defense he had set up was entirely due to the power released by the sword spirit of the Demon-Slaying Sword, which barely blocked the tip of the Judge's Pen. However, the strange force was transmitted to Lin Yi through the Demon-Slaying Sword.

It was a chilling, bone-deep cold that seeped into Lin Yi's heart, following the veins in his hand.

With this attack, Lu Pan was certain that Lin Yi was now at his last gasp and had no ability to resist.

He picked up his pen and began to sketch words in the air.

As the shape of the character "歹" (dǎi, meaning bad) took shape, he drew a stroke, and Lin Yi finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, the character for "death" is only one stroke away from being completed.

The magic of the gods is naturally different from that of mortals. Once this one word was written, it landed on Lin Yi's head. No matter how powerful Lin Yi's cultivation was, his soul would have to go to the underworld with him.

The place they were in was a pseudo-eighteenth level of hell, which barely allowed Judge Lu to use some of his powers.

He declared Lin Yi dead!

But just as he was about to finish the last stroke, his brush suddenly stopped moving.

"The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!"

A loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire pseudo-hell. With this voice, the illusion of hell shattered layer by layer, and they returned to their room in the inn.

The difference was that there was another person in the room, none other than Chen Nan, the governor of Hanzhong.

Judge Lu's face immediately turned ugly.

What incredible luck! How could a great scholar suddenly appear in this godforsaken place!

The gods of the underworld least want to face Confucian sages.

Buddhism speaks of reincarnation, while Taoism speaks of tranquility and non-action. Both have a close yet ambiguous relationship with ghosts and spirits.

The only Confucian idea is benevolence.

What is benevolence?

Putting people first is the essence of benevolence.

While both Buddhism and Taoism practice spiritual cultivation, Confucianism also cultivates Qi. Buddhism and Taoism cultivate spiritual Qi, while Confucianism cultivates human Qi, which they also call righteous Qi.

The Confucian principle of self-cultivation is actually about cultivating the mind; all righteousness originates from one's own heart.

As for the Six Arts of Confucianism, they are merely auxiliary means of cultivating the mind.

The great Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty incorporated the concepts of Taoism into Confucianism, so that modern Confucianism not only understands the way of humanity but also the way of heaven, which can be considered a strengthening.

Confucianists did not disbelieve in ghosts and spirits, but their attitude was to respect them while keeping them at a distance. Confucianism was also the most prominent school of thought in the world at the time, and it had the closest ties with the imperial court.

Therefore, standing before Lu Pan was not just a great Confucian scholar, but also a nation, and behind the nation was the human race, and behind the human race was the Way of Heaven.

Such intricate connections and tight interrelationships.

Humans are like this; each individual may not be particularly powerful, but when their fates are intertwined, even ghosts and gods must keep their distance.

Upon seeing Chen Nan appear, Lu Pan knew that things would be difficult today. If Chen Nan intervened, he wouldn't be able to kill Lin Yi with his current meager cultivation level.

However, having formed a grudge against such a deity of unknown origin, and facing retaliation in the future, he himself might be doomed.

After much deliberation, he decided to talk to Chen Nan.

"Does Your Excellency truly intend to interfere in the feud between him and me?"

"So what?"

Chen Nan thought he was about to face a fierce battle, but Lin Yi took down all the powerful enemies by himself. He fought three against one and killed two of them. How fierce was that?

With only one left, Chen Nan naturally couldn't let his team fall behind.

If the remaining opponent is the Moonlight Buddha, the outcome is uncertain, but facing an opponent like Lu Pan who exudes the aura of a Yin spirit, Chen Nan feels that he can win without lifting a finger.

If he can't handle this, then he's truly wasted his time reading books.

"If you insist on doing so, I will settle this karmic debt with you after your soul returns to the underworld a hundred years from now."

Judge Lu's words were full of threats.

Confucian practitioners cultivate their vital energy but not their physical life. They progress in cultivation the fastest, but their lifespan does not increase significantly. Although they live longer than ordinary people, they usually live to be between one hundred and two hundred years old.

No matter how illustrious you were in life, after death, your soul will return to the underworld and be judged by the judge.

"Life is what I desire, and righteousness is also what I desire. If I cannot have both, I will give up life for righteousness."

As Chen Nan expressed his feelings, his righteous spirit surged.
