Earth Dragon Swings Its Tail!
The true Earth Dragon Swings Its Tail!
Boom!
In the outside world, the earthquake that had gradually calmed down suddenly ushered in another wave of peaks.
Crack!
The ground cracked and a huge crack even extended along the dragon's tail, tearing apart more than half of Shengjing City and reaching the city walls.
Bam!
Under everyone's stupefied gazes, this section of the city wall collapsed with a loud rumble. The heavens collapsed and the earth split apart, burying the defending army and revealing another huge gap.
Psst!
Immediately, twelve golden beams pierced into the Earth Dragon's body, causing it to roar in anger but could no longer move!
"Amitabha! The Earth Dragon is under control! As long as we hold on for another hour, the twelve Metal Men will be able to completely suppress the Earth Dragon's resistance and our mission will be accomplished! "
The old monk said loudly, "However, during this period, the heavenly punishment will come and the twelve Metal Men must not be moved!"
"An hour! An hour! "
Shang Jie murmured and suddenly shouted, "Ceng Guang!"
"Your Majesty!"
Behind him, a personal guard immediately bowed.
"Lead the palace guards and fight the enemy. Even if you die, you must hold on for an hour!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The general's expression was firm as he led the elite troops to meet their deaths.
These were the elite guards of the Imperial City, and they were Shang Jie's final trump card. Even though they could not reverse the situation, Shang Jie was still very assured that they could defend the city for an hour by relying on the streets and alleys, and even the broken walls of the Imperial City.
…
Outside the city, Ji Yi looked at the huge gap in the city wall and the moat that automatically filled up. He was even more dumbfounded. However, he still had some luck and recovered moments later. He shouted loudly, "The heavenly fate is on my side! Hurry and attack! "
Now that the obstruction was gone, attacking the city was almost a smooth path!
"The heavenly fate is on my side! The heavenly fate is on my side! "
Compared to the heavy casualties of the defending troops, Ji Yi's camp seemed to have been deliberately avoided by the earthquake. The impact was smaller and only half of the vanguard was killed. Seeing this, morale was raised to the limit and they surged towards the gap under the leadership of the squad and battalion commanders.
The defending troops had suffered heavy casualties in the previous earthquake. Now that they saw this scene, they were even more dispirited and no longer had the will to fight. They all knelt and abandoned their weapons. "We surrender! We surrender! "
Previously, in order to forge the Golden Men, Shang Jie had to pay a heavy tax, which had already caused the entire world to rebel.
Now that they saw a living miracle, how could the mortals still have the heart to resist? They all knelt down and surrendered.
"The Martial King is majestic and heroic. With this on top of that, he is blessed by the heavens!"
"Although we are generals of the Shang Dynasty, how would we dare to go against the will of the heavens?"
A few generals of the Shang Dynasty also led their elite troops and directly surrendered. "Pass down my order. We do not dare to defy the will of the heavens. We will change our banner and surrender to King Wu. We will welcome King Wu's army into the city and ask to be the vanguard!"
In such a situation, there were really too many people who would switch sides.
Usually, even if the city was breached, the subsequent street battles would take a long time. There were even cases of heavy casualties and being pushed out by the defenders.
But now that the defending army had changed sides, it was easy. Everything was in order, and the resistance they encountered was next to nothing.
This was fate. Previously, Great Shang used the city walls to maintain their morale.
However, now that he had lost his support and was deterred by the earthquake, the Shang Emperor did not have much luck left. He could not suppress it and immediately rebelled.
In an instant, the army had reached the Imperial City, and there was even no lack of Zhou Generals who wanted to capture Shang Jie as a tribute!
"Hmph! Betraying your master! "
Above the Imperial City, Ceng Guang looked at the smoke in the city, his expression as dark as water. He shouted loudly, "The Shang Dynasty has nurtured its army for a thousand years. Today is the day to protect the country. Two and three sons, repair the city walls. The rest, follow me!"
Not only did the earthquake collapse the city walls, but even Shengjing City was in chaos.
At this time, Ji Yi did not have any thoughts of fighting in the streets or subduing the entire city. The only goal of King Wu's army was to take down the Imperial City! To destroy the Twelve Metal Men!
"General …"
Looking at the black mass of heads below, a palace guard hesitated. "Why don't we … escape?"
Poof!
Before he could finish speaking, a bloody light appeared. A head flew up and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Those who dare to say surrender and escape, this is an example!"
Ceng Guang held the three-foot long sword that was stained with blood and looked around. None of the soldiers dared to look him in the eye.
However, he did not realize that a few lieutenants behind him looked at each other with a bad light in their eyes …
…
"Oh no!"
Outside the city, Yu Qing I calculated with his fingers and his expression changed. "Fan Men hid the secrets of the heavens and purposely brought it forward by an hour!"
"The Earth Dragon has been suppressed and there is not much time left before the final refinement … Even if the army is unstoppable, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
Wu Ming retracted his gaze and said solemnly, "The only thing we can do now is to let King Wu ascend quickly and ask for the heavens' blessing to completely take away the remaining energy of the Shang Dynasty!"
"We have to do that!"
Time was of the essence. Even if Ji Yi wanted to play a game of 'hundreds of officials persuading him to give in three times and accept three times', it was completely too late.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Altar was already prepared and the robes were prepared. Ji Yi immediately changed into a large fur crown and prepared three sacrificial items. He then went up the altar to worship the heavens under the escort of a group of officials and generals.
"Minister! Minister of the Mountains and Rivers, Ji Yi announces to the heavens that the Shang Dynasty is tyrannical … Punish the sins of the heavens … Today, the dynasty shall be named 'Zhou'! "
Ji Yi read the sacrificial words solemnly. This was the first time he was announcing it to the world as the Emperor, but it was quite majestic.
Originally, this hasty worship to the heavens would not only be ineffective, it might even be a sin against the heavens.
However, Daoist Yu Qing seemed to be prepared. Even though it was rushed, the various rituals and offerings were perfect. The heavens also gave him face.
Boom!
Just as Ji Yi burned the sacrificial words and offered the offerings, the sky shook and a scarlet glow appeared. It formed a majestic cloud and emitted a five-colored mysterious light that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Auspicious sign! It's a huge auspicious sign! "
"The Emperor is indeed the True Dragon and Son of Heaven! The Mandate of the Heavens! "
"Long live the Emperor!"
…
The civil and military officials below all bowed solemnly. Wu Ming hid in a corner and opened his Heavenly Eye, but he saw more things.
After Ji Yi became the Emperor, almost half of the world's luck surged over. It changed from black to white, from white to red, from white to gold, and then spat out green in the middle. It was lush and green, forming a five-colored crown that suppressed the heavens.
Roar roar!
A streak of purple energy appeared and charged into the sky. Within it was a red dragon. It added the last bit of charm and directly became the True Dragon!
The Heavenly Pillar had been erected!
From then on, the Dazhou Pillar was the true Mandate of the Heavens. Due to this, the last bit of Great Shang's luck dissipated.
"Damn … The Heavens really gave me face!"
Wu Ming was speechless as he watched from the side, "We haven't even fought half the world and they already submitted? They even contributed luck. This is even more vicious than the Great Sorcerer Liu Xiu! The true Son of the Heavens! "
However, he knew that if Ji Yi took down Shengjing, a small portion of the world would indeed be settled.
However, this happened before the news spread. The Heavens and Earth seemed to have cheated.
One could only say that the Twelve Metal Men of Great Shang were not tolerated by the Heavens and Earth.
…
"Mandate of the Heavens? Luck? "
Shang Jie, who was within the palace, felt a huge pain in his heart. It was as if he had lost something extremely important.
Sssii!
After the Dazhou Heavenly Pillar was erected, the last bit of luck that covered the Great Shang also dissipated.
The Fish Scale Cloud surged and purple lightning danced. Suddenly, it turned into eighty-one bolts of Thunder that tore through the void and descended. It was even more powerful than before!
"The Heavens and Earth have changed? So quickly? "
The expression of the old monk in the center changed as well. "Not good!"
Rumble!
The Thunder descended and landed on the Blood Curtain of Ten Thousand Monks. The shocking power swept out and tore through everything.
Not only that, but the destructive power was also transmitted to the bodies of the Children of Brahma.
Within the formation, the corpses of the monks who were sitting cross-legged suddenly turned into dust as if they had been struck by lightning.
Lightning flashed and a mark of lightning appeared on the old monk's body!
"Imperial Tutor?"
Lightning continued to descend and land on the bodies of the Twelve Metal Men. Shang Jie's expression changed.
"This old monk has suffered the wrath of Heaven and is about to be destroyed!"
The old monk sat down cross-legged, his face ruddy as if he was recovering from the final radiance of the setting sun. "Your Majesty, please do not grieve. You must not use the bodies of the Twelve Metal Men. Otherwise, everything will be for naught …
"This old monk will disperse the Golden Body Sarira to assist Junior Brother and pray for the Great Brahma God to descend and save us from this chaos!
"Amitabha, what joy is there in life? What is there in death? Sacrificing one's life for the sake of Brahma! "
The old monk recited as he suddenly sat down cross-legged.
Weng weng!
A speck of dust appeared on his shoulder and then the mark of lightning expanded, covering his entire body. His entire person was reduced to dust that drifted away with the wind.
The old monk's Buddhist arts were profound and he had been conferred the title of Imperial Tutor. His Arhat Golden Body had long been completed. Even if he reincarnated, his golden body would be indestructible. He could even become a Dao Immortal and be conferred the title of Brahma God after death.
But now, under the wrath of Heaven, his body and soul were destroyed without a trace!
There was only a ray of Buddhist light that seemed to have turned into a rainbow bridge that pierced through the air and arrived at another place in an instant.
"Amitabha, Senior Brother, please go ahead first. This old monk will follow soon!"
The last of the three holy monks knelt before the Great Brahma God statue. His seven orifices looked like they were about to bleed.
At this moment, the Buddhist light pierced through the air and pounced on him. His entire body began to burn.
Traces of golden power of will turned into Sanskrit characters that surrounded the Brahma God statue and slowly entered it.
"It's done!"
Even though he was being roasted by the flames, the holy monk's expression did not change. He kowtowed and said, "The child of Brahma respectfully invites the Revered One to descend!"
Boom!
A circle of benevolent and vast power descended with great and boundless light. The Great Brahma God statue shook and opened a pair of merciful eyes.
"Welcome, Revered One!"
The holy monk's face was filled with fanaticism and devotion. He suddenly bowed again and said, "This disciple shall depart!"
His spirit and soul were completely destroyed in the flames.
The Revered One's golden eyes moved, but there was no mercy.
With his body and soul destroyed, he could not even go to the Pure Land. How could he be saved?
The world was vast. Even the Revered One, Brahma, was not omniscient!
