Chapter 489 Lakshmi, the Mule King
"My lord."
Tian Gong Dao Man concealed all his aura, not even daring to use his divine sense, and only used his mouth to ask questions.
Evil gods are all top-level spiritual masters, because divine thought is their essence.
Even if Tiangong Daoman were a nine-star martial artist, he would never dare to show off his skills in front of the evil god.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a projection."
Bai Ze spoke without any hesitation, observing the subtle, eerie aura emanating from the creature.
He dared to speak even when a true evil god descended, let alone a mere projection.
Not all evil gods are as powerful as the Great Freedom. The reason they are called "gods" is because they all wear the disguise of gods from Earth's mythology and absorb the power of faith, even devouring divine souls.
In reality, most evil gods are only equivalent to the level of a Heavenly Gate Warrior.
If we measure evil gods by martial arts realm, none of these spirit beings could possibly cross the Heavenly Barrier of Physical Body, because they simply do not possess a physical body.
Only a very few evil gods, such as the Great Freedom, can be so powerful as to rival or even surpass the power of gods, despite having no physical form.
The name "God's Enemy" is meant to be used in response to this kind of evil god.
As Bai Ze spoke, he had already surveyed the auras of all the evil gods.
The one with the most prominent aura is undoubtedly the Rudraksha, praised by today's most handsome guy.
Its form was above the flames, intertwined with lightning, forming a shape that was both real and illusory, while the other evil gods were just a bunch of abstract shadows.
Rudra is a violent and stormy god in Sanskrit mythology, and one of the prototypes of Shiva, the three principal gods of Sanskrit.
Shiva also has other manifestations such as Mahakala and Shiva.
That's right, it's the Great Freedom Heaven.
When Shiva first came into contact with Earth, the divine identity he chose was Shiva, one of the three principal deities of Sanskrit and Indian Buddhism, and he used this identity to quickly spread his faith.
Then Shiva stopped pretending, began to tear off his disguise, and evolved from Shiva to Shiva, which is the sixth heaven of the Desire Realm and the head of the Buddhist demons.
In a single night, he caused all his followers to fall into depravity, single-handedly initiating the path to the destruction of the Buddhist kingdom, and subsequently orchestrating events such as the blood sacrifice of four hundred million and the eastward invasion of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult.
Rudra, as one of the archetypes of Shiva, is closely related to Shiva from a mythological perspective.
Furthermore, Bai Ze also noticed some familiar traces in Rudra's projection.
Qu Jingxuan's Hundred Forms of Gods and Demons... and even traces of his strongest form, the Great Black Heaven Form.
Bai Ze read Qu Jingxuan's memories and was extremely familiar with his techniques, including his supernatural abilities.
Qu Jingxuan intends to use Daheitian as his foundation and has the ambition to evolve into an evil god.
He even simulated his escape route.
If he has to accept the blood of the Great Freedom Demon in the future, then he can use the Great Freedom to evolve his own Great Black Heaven.
His "Hundred Forms of Gods and Demons" also draws inspiration from the Great Freedom Dharma Body. The two share commonalities in both their mythological connections and their techniques.
However, it now appears that Qu Jingxuan has unknowingly become a guinea pig.
The "hundred forms of gods and demons" have now truly become the forms of evil gods, and have been used on Rudra.
"The evil god Rudra has very likely already descended," Bai Ze guessed to himself.
It is estimated that Qu Jingxuan's understanding of martial arts, as well as his research on martial arts and faith, were obtained by Kosh'e and used to create containers for evil gods.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Ze was able to see some familiar traces of the Great Black Heaven's appearance.
Are these evil gods gathered here just to find a vessel?
Bai Ze carefully observed the shadows of those evil gods.
At this point, Raven One and Raven Two were also forced to move closer to the campfire.
They certainly couldn't be followers of evil gods, so they too had to be sacrificed at this moment.
Dark Raven One secretly channeled his inner energy, gathering strength and preparing to fight to the death at any moment.
As for seeking help from Bai Ze and Tian Gong Dao Man...
The mark of loyalty made it impossible for him to overstep his bounds in the slightest.
But at that moment, a divine thought entered Dark Raven One's mind.
"Practice this technique."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dark Raven One realized that his true energy was circulating spontaneously, as if it had a self-awareness. The potential within his flesh and bones was explosively squeezed out as the technique was activated.
"Follow my orders."
The voice in his mind commanded him, causing him to suddenly unleash a surging wave of energy.
"Get out of here!"
Dark Raven One suddenly roared and swung his hand, unleashing a burst of energy that knocked over the evil god's followers who had surrounded him.
At the same time, his pupils slowly widened, and like a wild beast, he swept his gaze around with a ferocious look.
"I am a member of the Order of Immortality," Dark Raven Number One shouted, obeying orders.
That overwhelming aura carried a wild vitality, but its essence was the exploitation of one's own flesh and blood. His eyes, like those of a wild beast, held a bloodthirsty ruthlessness.
"Bat Blood Technique?"
The head of the Tia Market, the cultist engulfed in flames, stared at him, meeting Dark Raven One's eyes before glancing to the side. "You've even planted spies? Does this mean you don't trust us?"
The sound reached a tent not far away, drawing out a group of figures wearing hooded white robes.
The symbol "∞" embroidered in gold thread on the pure white robe is proof that it belongs to the Order of Immortality.
Koschae has never been known for its ethical practices in the field of biology.
He once combined martial arts and some genetic technology with Western vampire legends to create a technique for artificially creating "vampires," which caused quite a stir in the Western Union and Shinra.
Especially in the Shinra Empire, a place where bloodline martial arts are prevalent.
The "Bat Blood Technique" can strengthen one's own bloodline by absorbing the blood of others, without needing to consume the bloodline potions supplied by the nobles of the Divine Luo Empire, and can thus improve one's skills.
Its allure to the people of the Holy Luo Empire is comparable to that of the Sacred Heart Sect's cultivation techniques in the Eastern Xia.
This also garnered Kosh'e a significant amount of attention, and the level of hatred he attracted in the Holy Roman Empire was no less than that in the Eastern Xia.
The white-robed man at the head of the group was also somewhat surprised and uncertain when he heard the question.
He pulled down his hood, revealing a face of Asian descent, around thirty years old.
"We don't..."
Just as the man was about to explain, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Obey me."
In an instant, a change occurred in consciousness that others could not perceive.
The man in white was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh dear, I never imagined I was an undercover agent.
Stealing people from the mouths of evil gods might be noticed by them, but there's no such concern about stealing members of the Cult of Immortality.
Who told your pope not to be a real evil god?
Bai Ze made Dark Raven One circulate its cultivation technique so that these evil god believers would find members of the Eternal Life Cult for him.
Then, upon meeting, they immediately used mind control.
"Just a little bit of preparation, better safe than sorry."
The man in white robes replied fluently in Sanskrit and Sanskrit: "Your sects are renowned, so of course we have to have some backup plans."
The people behind the man in white robes were also wary and vigilant about their surroundings.
These followers of evil gods are mentally deranged and insane; it's only right to take some precautions.
and-
Our Eternal Life Order consists of highly educated elites, and we are not like you bumpkins from India.
Those who can infiltrate the Cult of Immortality are at least at the level of publishing papers in academic journals. The higher-ups of the cult are all researchers of "The Theory of Immortal Evolution," and setting aside their character and morality, they are all elders in the field of biology.
They have their reasons for looking down on cult members.
We are researchers, unlike you superstitious cultists.
Although, in essence, the Cult of Immortality is also a cult, and a very sinister one at that.
As he spoke, the man in white robes gestured for Dark Raven Number One and the other two to come over.
Raj, the manager of Tia Market, realized that this place was not even bothering to hide its true nature and was about to get angry when flames suddenly exploded.
Those forced to approach the campfire seized the opportunity during the standoff to decisively fight back.
But before they could unleash their power, the phantom image that appeared on the campfire suddenly solidified.
Boom!
A thunderclap exploded in mid-air, and a colossal figure appeared.
Its crimson body was covered in animal skins, its neck was bluish, and it exuded a bloody aura—it was Rudra.
Lou Tuoluo grabbed with his large hand, his illusory palm sweeping across a group of people, directly bringing out clumps of grayish-white souls and throwing them into the gaping maw of blood.
The other shadows of evil gods also made their moves.
If they were only followers of the evil god, even if they faced a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, they would still have a sliver of hope. But now that the evil god's projection has appeared, they have absolutely no chance of resistance.
One of the evil god's shadows, after devouring the living soul, faintly revealed a ferocious and malevolent appearance.
It was a deep blue-green body, wearing a five-skull crown, with orange-red hair standing up like burning flames. It had three eyes, a large mouth like a basin, revealing ferocious long teeth, and was clearly a female demon.
He wore a rosary of human bones around his neck, a human skin on his upper body, a tiger skin on his lower body, held a Vajra bone staff in his right hand, and a bowl of human skulls filled with blood in his left hand. He rode a yellow mule.
She is undoubtedly the strongest among these shadows of evil gods, and the one closest to their descent.
As soon as her form appeared, a group of followers of the evil god immediately put on monk's robes and knelt down.
"The deities of Tantric Buddhism?" Upon seeing this, Bai Ze recalled the information about the deities of Tantric Buddhism.
The human bone club, the human bone rosary, and the five-marrow skull crown were all too obvious features, allowing Bai Ze to pinpoint its location almost immediately.
Although most of the deities and Buddhas in Esoteric Buddhism and even Buddhism as a whole evolved from Sanskrit and Indian mythology, they possess different characteristics due to their respective cultural differences.
Evil gods have no borders, but their followers do.
When their faith power is absorbed by the evil god, the evil god will gravitate towards their faith.
The characteristics exhibited by this evil deity indicate that most of her followers come from Tantric Buddhism, specifically from the Tantric Buddhism of the Eastern Xia Western Sea Autonomous Region.
"How could such a powerful evil god have been nurtured within Dongxia?" This thought popped into Bai Ze's mind.
Thinking this, he had the white-robed figure he controlled ask, "What kind of deity is this? It's so ferocious."
"Judging from her appearance, she should resemble the fierce form of the esoteric Buddhist goddess Palden Lhamo."
A white-robed figure nearby, seeing this, replied, "Look at the mule she's riding. If you see eyes on either side of its rump, then it's definitely her. Palden Lhamo is also known as the Mule Queen, and her mule can fly through the three realms. However, in Tantric Buddhism, Palden Lhamo is a benevolent deity; her fierce appearance is for punishing evildoers. The human skin on her body is that of her own son, representing the principle of sacrificing family for the greater good. The human bone club in her right hand is for dealing with Asura demons, and the human skull bowl in her left hand symbolizes happiness."
"The absorption of the belief in benevolent gods still cannot change the nature of evil gods. This may open up a new research topic."
The man in the white robe marveled.
"Come on," another man in white robes interjected. "What kind of benevolent deity carries human bone prayer beads and a human bone club, and even considers a bowl of human skulls filled with fresh blood as a symbol of happiness? With that kind of image, who wouldn't think it's an evil god?"
"Perhaps it is precisely because of this impression that benevolent gods have become evil gods," the first white-robed man to speak pondered.
"That makes sense, we could start a research project on that."
"Should we secretly capture a few believers and search their memories? Should we cut open their brains to take a look? I've discovered before that the brain structures of believers in different evil gods exhibit different mutations."
"That won't do. They were all summoned by the Pope. If you want to arrest them, wait until after the fact."
The other men in white robes also chimed in.
Clearly, the members of the Immortal Cult had little moral sense; as they chatted, they began plotting human experiments.
From their conversation, it can be learned that these evil gods were summoned by Kosh'e and were not familiar to the members of the Order of Immortality.
So, Koschae was indeed here.
Bai Ze's eyes gleamed, but he couldn't tell if this Kosh'e was his true form or an avatar.
If it's an avatar, then we can handle it.
If it's the original body, then the only option is to call for reinforcements.
Ideally, we could summon Ursus's nemesis.
The premise is that Vladimir can get there in time.
Bai Ze had previously inquired about Vladimir's whereabouts, lest he return one day and compare information with that Grand Duke of Winter, discovering the true nature of the blond-haired man.
The reason we were having such a great time talking about it was because Bai Ze resonated with the brilliance of Ursus and was recognized by Vladimir's divine will. Now you're telling me it's all fake?
I'm going to fight you, you naturally evil blond brat!
I learned from Catherine that Vladimir was collecting radiance at the celestial pole of the Mountain and Sea Realm to use for Catherine's future breakthrough.
Even at God's speed, it's estimated that they won't be able to get back in a short time.
We could also make use of the Eastern Xia military.
Bai Ze hadn't forgotten that he still needed to keep the conflict between Dongxia and the Shenluo Empire under control and prevent it from escalating.
Even if Bai Ze didn't intervene, Dongxia wouldn't initiate a war. Dongxia is currently rife with internal strife, on the verge of collapse; it has no inclination to wage war externally.
But some people are causing trouble.
Given his ego, it's impossible for him not to resort to some underhanded tactics.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze immediately used the "Words Follow Law" technique to create a fake fluctuation and send a message to the Baxia base in Dongxia.
