I saw Axue controlling the Dharma world, and suddenly with her five fingers clenched, the already shattered evil-destroying Buddhist sword Suzumaru Hengci broke through the air!

The five swords in the world that day were stained with Buddha's light, and the sword energy was like a rainbow as they stabbed towards Monk Zhiwu!

But to the outsiders at the foot of the mountain, it looked like the Wheel Saint King was holding a light blade and wielding a terrifying sword energy!

The sword energy was like the falling stars, shining together with the golden Dharma, illuminating the entire sky!

The Buddha Tathagata snorted coldly, and two giant palms emerged from the rolling black clouds, trying to suppress the sword light in their palms!

Then a thunderstorm tore the sky apart!

In the invisible void, the evil spirits roared and fought each other, just like the scene at the foot of the mountain where the coalition forces and the monk soldiers were fighting each other!

Half of the sky is covered with the sun as blazing as fire, while the other half is covered with dark clouds and violent storms!

Every time the two Dharma images collided, blazing flames, freezing snow, exploding lightning and thunder burst out in all directions!

The sky was cut into pieces by this supreme power, and a rumbling echo came from deep in the clouds. Burning meteorites fell, turning into a rain of fire that destroyed Mount Hiei!

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Axue laughed wildly, feeling extremely happy.

"Master Zhiwu! Even with the blessing of the Supreme Buddha's bones, your strength is not that great!"

"Traitor to Buddhism! Do you really think you can defeat this humble monk?!"

Monk Zhiwu's eyes burst into blood.

It seemed that the cost of using the Supreme Buddha Bone was too huge for an old man like him!

But how could this Zen Master, who protects the country, watch the entire Buddhism being destroyed by the demon before him? So Monk Zhiwu pressed his hands together and popped his eyes, roaring:

"Oh Buddha! Please take away everything I have! As long as you can kill this demon!!!"

Then the lotus under the seat of Tathagata's Dharma image bloomed, and the Buddha finally opened his eyes!

In an instant, the overwhelming pressure of the Dharma was like a landslide and a tsunami!

This gentle Buddha light finally took off all its disguises and could no longer make people feel peaceful. Instead, it brought an extremely overbearing fear!

Suddenly, a spot of gold appeared between Monk Zhiwu’s eyebrows!

Then the golden body spread rapidly, as if an invisible pen was drawing on the old monk's body!

In just a few breaths, this dying old monk actually became a Buddha in the flesh!

The Tathagata in the sky no longer cared about his manners and rushed towards the Wheel King!

The moment Tathagata's fist collided with the Wheel King's sword, the sky trembled!

Mount Hiei was shaken violently, and the sky was torn apart. Fire from the sky as big as boulders fell, burning all the coalition forces and monk soldiers on the ground to ashes. It fell into the clear springs in the mountains and dried up instantly!

In Mount Hiei beneath the clouds, sharp arrows tore through the air and stones flew by like locusts. The elite musketeers of the Echigo army, under the cover of swords and cavalry, launched volleys of fire, killing all the stubbornly resisting monks!

However, those monk soldiers knew no fear.

The golden bell and iron cloth shirt they cultivated through Buddhist practice seemed to have real magic power. They actually took on the swords and muskets with both hands and rushed towards the coalition forces to kill them!

"One step back, and you'll be in hell! One step forward, and you'll be in paradise!"

"Kill all these monks! Kill them all!!"

The soldiers and monks roared together, their blood seeping deep into the earth. If someone could look down from the perspective of a god, they would find a dazzling red spot growing bigger and bigger.

"Is the sky...going to fall down?"

Oda Nobunaga looked up at the battle in the sky. The two statues were still fighting each other, and the situation was even more difficult to resolve.

This is a battle never imagined.

At least this is the first time that such a huge mysterious phenomenon has appeared in Japan since the Heian period.

The people of Kyoto all saw the fight.

Even if they were not well versed in the mysteries, they could still see these two Dharma images of heaven and earth bombarding each other.

"Buddhas are fighting among themselves?"

"The Tathagata Buddha... is about to be defeated?"

"This country... this Yamato... what will become of it..."

On the other side, someone looked up at the strange scene and muttered to himself.

"...The sky that Nuwa patched up has flaws."

In Shimabara Flower Street, Mr. Guoxin quietly walked to the street, looked at the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth on Mount Hiei in the distance, and couldn't help but say in a daze.

"The two Dharma images triggered the ultimate clash of power between the storms of mental images, and the world is about to collapse..."

The Wheel King and Tathagata were fighting each other in the sky.

But in Enryakuji Temple, Axue and Monk Zhiwu were roaring and gasping at the top of their lungs.

"You little devil! You clearly don't have the Supreme Buddha's bones! You clearly aren't a reincarnation of Buddha! You're just a demon, why…"

Monk Zhiwu covered his chest and spit out blood, he roared in disbelief.

"Why are you so powerful?!"

Monk Zhiwu couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

He is a senior monk who has practiced Buddhism for decades!

He is a god who possesses the supreme Buddha bones!

Now Zhiwu has tried his best to fight Axue!

But why...

Why can't I defeat him even though I've risked everything?!

Why can't he defeat Uesugi Kenshin, who has no bloodline or inheritance?!

"Hehe...you want to kill me just out of righteous indignation?"

Axue had also fought to the point of exhaustion, and his body was covered in blood, but he still couldn't fall down!

“Then call upon the true God! The true Way of Heaven! Grant me, Uesugi Kenshin, the [Destined Death] I deserve!!”

The Shura, dressed in blood-stained clothes, brandished his sword and laughed wildly.

"Isn't there justice in the world? Doesn't evil inevitably lead to evil consequences?! Is there anything more satisfying than this?! You hold high the banner of justice and fight against the treacherous man Uesugi Kenshin, but since you can't win! That means you are not righteous!!"

In the center of Enryakuji Temple, which was already on fire, Axue raised her sword and delivered the final blow to Monk Zhiwu!

And above the sky, the Wheel of Reincarnation Holy King had his eyes wide open in anger, and the piercing light blade slashed towards the Tathagata Buddha, whose Buddha light had already faded!

"——You will die a miserable death! Uesugi Kenshin!"

Monk Zhiwu no longer had any strength to withstand this attack, and he let out a final roar before being nailed to the wall by Axue!

The hands of Tathagata Buddha that wanted to catch the sword light also crumbled into shattered golden light inch by inch.

Then the Dharma image completely collapsed!

Tathagata Buddha——

Cut in half!!!

………………

………………

“…Is this the Supreme Buddha Bone?”

In the raging fire, Axue used a Buddhist knife to pick out the spine of Monk Zhiwu, and indeed found the Buddha's bones embedded in it.

No wonder Monk Zhiwu has such extraordinary abilities. It all comes from this supreme Buddha bone.

As soon as Axue took the Buddha bone in her hand, she saw that the Buddha bone seemed to have a spirit and was about to penetrate into the skin of the Echigo Dragon!

"The Supreme Buddha Bone recognized me?"

However, Axue held the Supreme Buddha Bone tightly and pulled it away on the spot.

"Such an ominous object is actually worthy of being called the Supreme Buddha Bone. What a great irony..."

Even though this supreme Buddha bone possesses supreme power, Axue does not need its help at this moment.

So Axue put it away and planned to study it further later.

Now he is more concerned about...

Was this blood sacrifice ritual successful?

Now that Monk Zhiwu is dead, the entire Mount Hiei is under siege by the coalition forces, and it is time to launch a blood sacrifice.

He walked to the edge of the cliff, listened to the screams and cries at the foot of the mountain, and enjoyed the pleasure of dying just like that.

"...What on earth has this world got to do with me?"

Axue couldn't help but talk to herself.

"Brother, if you wake up and come to your senses and choose to kill me, and I am moved by your willingness to sacrifice my life for the greater good, will the tens of thousands of monks who died today agree? Will they chant sutras to help me attain salvation?"

"But anyway...I just wanted to see you."

After Axue waited for a while, Tsuchimikado Taisho finally came up the mountain.

The Yin-Yang Master's expression was serious. He took a deep breath and said, "Lord Jinghu's body has been brought up the mountain. We can now begin the life-extending method."

"let's start."

Axue looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

"In the flames of Enryaku-ji Temple, my brother was bathed in the blood of Buddhism and reborn from the flames. It always felt like déjà vu."

In my previous life, I was reborn from the ashes in the Linquan Temple which was surrounded by fire, wasn’t it?

………………

………………

Monk Zhiwu was killed in battle.

The monk soldiers of Mount Hiei were surrounded and killed.

All the monks were completely burned to ashes by the heavenly fire, leaving no one alive.

This is what later generations recorded as "Kenshin's Destruction of Buddhism."

At the end of the Warring States period in Japan, the Dragon of Echigo led his troops to Kyoto. When he encountered a Buddhist monk who accused him of being a demon king, he angrily destroyed the entire Buddhist sect!

From then on, the people were terrified and called this former Buddhist martial god the "Sixth Heaven Demon King".

What is even more terrifying is——

He used the entire Buddhist community as a sacrifice, and thus resurrected his former senior brother, Nagao Kagetora.

Ending: Good and Evil Balance

This is not a heroic story.

No one can be a hero.

But everyone is fighting.

Between heaven and earth, the scope of the struggle has been expanded.

To wash blood with blood—there are simply mountains of corpses.

On the ground, arrows shot by archers pierced through the gaps in the enemy's formation, and soldiers led by mounted generals advanced in formation, weapons in hand.

In front of the battle, the warriors who regarded each other as strong rivals announced their names loudly and clashed fiercely with their swords in the biting cold wind.

This is a scene of war.

The Warring States coalition led by Imagawa Yoshimoto launched the [Anti-Kenshin Encirclement] which has surrounded the entire Kyoto.

What a determined look in the eyes of Tōkaidō's number one archer.

His opponent is Kenshin Uesugi, the sixth-day demon king who destroyed Buddhism, and the Dragon of Echigo who possesses both the realm of Dharmakaya and the realm of Sword Saint!
