Chapter 159 The Power of Faith
At this moment, the whole world seemed to have quieted down. There was silence all around, and countless people's eyes were focused on the vision of the nine dragons pulling the coffin.
The Divine Knight looked at this scene, his fair face, as if chiseled by a knife, became extremely serious, and his aura was restrained to the extreme. The dragon spear had returned to his palm at some point, and he stabbed lightly towards the "giant coffin", with a transcendent meaning of returning to nature.
This shot may seem plain, but it is in harmony with the Tao. It seems as if it is blessed by thousands of laws when it is swung, leaving people with no way to avoid it and they can only choose to confront it head-on.
In stark contrast, Chai Xin's aura suddenly rose, as if he was an ancient killing god, with overwhelming domineering aura rising into the sky, complementing the picture of nine dragons pulling the coffin, forming a harmonious whole.
"kill!"
As he shouted, the "huge bronze coffin" transformed by the Xuanhuang Seal finally fell down and slammed onto the tip of the Dragon Spear.
"Om..."
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a faint humming sound that spread throughout the world.
However, everyone felt as if their hearts were hit by a huge hammer, trembling violently, and their blood vessels could not help but swell. Many people with weaker cultivation or weaker wills had fainted and completely lost consciousness.
Da Yin Xisheng.
This is an intense collision that has reached an extreme. The frequency of vibration exceeds the limit that the human ear can receive, triggering resonance in their internal organs and even blood vessels and tendons, thus causing this phenomenon.
If it weren't just the aftermath of a battle, few of the people present would have been able to survive the attack from the two of them.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, a slight cough sounded in the silent world, sounding particularly harsh.
The Divine Knight put his fist in front of his mouth, but a few traces of blood still appeared.
Obviously, he was injured in the collision just now.
The picture of nine dragons pulling the coffin had long disappeared. Chai Xin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the other party quietly. After a long time, he slowly turned around and left only one sentence.
"You lost."
Then, he stepped on the void and wanted to leave.
The Divine Knight looked gloomy, but seemed somewhat relieved. He stared at the blood between his fingers and was stunned for a moment before suddenly revealing a faint smile: "I lost..."
Then, his expression froze completely, the vitality in his body quickly dissipated, and he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
"boom!"
Finally, he fell into the dust and was unable to get up again.
"Woooo..."
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the peaceful little world, and there was even a faint whimpering sound in the wind, as if the heaven and earth were weeping, bidding farewell to this peerless genius from the West.
"The Divine Knight... has fallen!"
"Even the strongest man is no match for the Demon of Middle-earth. Is the end of the world coming?"
"Your Majesty was invited to Northern Europe, otherwise he would definitely be able to eliminate this demon..."
Countless people were crying. They felt deep despair. This demon from the East was too powerful. Walking in the holy city in the West was like strolling in his own back garden. No one could stop him.
Even if some people hated him to the core, they did not dare to scold him loudly and could only whisper.
"Your Majesty has ordered that this demon must be kept here and not allowed to take away the Golden Cloth and the Spear of Destiny!"
Suddenly, an old voice shook the heaven and earth, and in an instant it echoed throughout the holy city.
At the same time, countless palaces, buildings, and mountains in the holy city suddenly emitted infinite divine light, reaching into the sky, and finally condensed into one place, forming a hexagram array with a diameter of more than hundreds of miles!
The fifty holy mountains and the twelve divine palaces were all bursting with an earth-shaking aura, as if thousands of rays of light were ringing at the same time. The pure white holy light enveloped the heaven and earth, and bathing in it made people feel as if they had returned to the arms of the legendary God, warm and peaceful.
Everyone's pessimism was calmed down, and soon they regained their faith. They all knelt on the ground, turned into the most devout saints, and prayed in unison.
The sound was small at first, but soon it became louder, like the divine sound of the Great Dao, penetrating the nine heavens and ten earths.
The laws condensed by Chai Xin were about to open a space crack, but were defeated by the sacred energy emitted by the hexagram array and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"This... is an ancient formation formed by the power of faith?"
Looking at this ancient city that seemed to have been completely renovated, Chai Xin looked solemn for the first time.
This is a powerful formation that combines both offense and defense. If there is a King of Zhan Dao at the center of the formation, and with the assistance of twelve powerful monks, it will be enough to withstand the attack of the saint.
If we go one step further, with thirteen Kings of the Way of Slaying working together, we can even kill a saint!
It is precisely because of the existence of this formation that this holy city in the West has never been conquered and is even revered by believers as the city of God that will never fall.
"The power of faith accumulated over thousands of years is indeed extremely terrifying! For believers and those in power, these beliefs are a panacea, but for a 'heretic' like me, they are a deadly poison."
The golden vertical eye between Chai Xin's eyebrows reappeared, flashing dazzling light, and quickly saw through the reality of all this.
The power of faith is similar to divine power. In essence, it has no distinction between good and evil, or good and bad. However, once it is controlled by a person, it will naturally develop different attributes.
It’s like divine power has both the power to nourish the body and the ability to kill enemies, and how to use it all lies in the mind.
"Fortunately, the people in the main formation are not here, otherwise we would have to fight to the death."
The divine eye between Chai Xin's eyebrows shot out golden light, and he discovered that above the Twelve Temples in the city, there were twelve pure white light balls, like little suns, extremely dazzling.
Among these twelve light balls, there were twelve figures standing there. Each of them had the cultivation base of the second level of the Immortal Stage, and was comparable to a holy lord in the Big Dipper Star Region!
In this Dharma-Ending Age, the fact that the West still has so many powerful beings is already enough to astonish the world.
Of course, this is also related to the way they practice.
Under normal circumstances, entering the Xiantai secret realm on Earth is almost as difficult as trying to cut through the Dao in the Big Dipper star field.
However, there is a shortcut, which is to rely on the power of faith.
The power of faith can help people practice, heal injuries and diseases, and even prolong their lifespan, as long as there are no injuries caused by the Great Dao.
With the help of the power of faith, the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks or surviving natural disasters will be greatly reduced.
Of course, the guy who broke through with the help of external forces cannot be compared with the one who cultivated step by step by himself.
For example, the twelve second-level immortals in front of us, although their cultivation is not inferior to the masters of the major holy places in the Beidou Star Region, if they really compete in combat power, without any external help, they will definitely not be the opponents of the holy masters.
Moreover, this is based on the premise that the major saints practiced the great emperor's scriptures. Just like the god that Chai Xin killed in a flash before, he was obviously at the peak of the way of slashing, but when compared with his combat power, he was not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the god knight.
In fact, because the Divine Knight was injured when he was Slashing the Dao, his cultivation level always remained at the initial stage of Slashing the Dao, and it was impossible to make any progress at all!
This is also the reason why the alien sage prohibited the Divine Knight from practicing with the power of faith. He did not want to waste his amazing talent and the cup of divine blood that was mixed with countless elixirs.
But then again, in today's Earth, a place of the last days where nothing is known, it is good enough to be able to practice, and being able to break through is an unparalleled blessing. Who would care about whether one's combat power is strong or not, or whether the shadow will affect future development?
Even many ancient sects in the East, which were as powerful as holy places in ancient times, now find it difficult to find the existence of one or two secret fairylands.
If they had a way to get a massive amount of power of faith, they would surely not refuse.
It's just a pity that Huang-Lao philosophy emphasizes tranquility and inaction, and the law of nature; it is not as good as some Western things that are extremely good at inciting and misleading people.
They always promote the end of the world, or else they judge and then bring out a savior...
In comparison, it is naturally difficult to gather believers. Even if some wonderful methods are finally passed on, most of them require people to practice hard on themselves. It is extremely difficult to discover so-called fanatical believers, and the power of faith obtained is even more of a drop in the bucket.
However, for a person like Chai Xin, the power of faith, although it can be considered a treasure, is not very attractive.
After all, it was of limited use to him.
First of all, you certainly cannot use it to improve your cultivation, that would be self-destructive; secondly, you cannot and do not need to use it to help overcome tribulations. For Chai Xin, every tribulation is an experience, a process of rebirth, and a rare opportunity.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the power of faith is completely useless to Chai Xin. At least it can be used to refine magical weapons.
With the blessing of the power of faith, the power of the Xuanhuang Seal and the Dragon Pattern Spear will definitely be taken to a higher level.
Furthermore, if I establish my own power in the future, even if I cannot use them, there will always be many people in the sect who can be of use.
Thinking of this, Chai Xin's eyes lit up instantly.
Looking at the power of faith that is as vast as the ocean, even someone as knowledgeable as him couldn't help but be moved.
This kind of thing is too rare. In an environment where spiritual practice is prevalent outside the domain, it is extremely difficult to preach, because everyone understands what the so-called "immortals and gods" are.
Therefore, even the ancient stars of life where powerful people such as Beidou and Yuhua were born find it difficult to find such a huge amount of power of faith!
Think about the great Buddha Amitabha back then. He could only gather so many believers and faith in the Western Desert, where the population was the most sparse and the land was the most barren in Beidou. You can imagine how difficult it is to preach overseas.
Just as the earth's technology develops, collecting the power of faith is actually becoming more and more difficult.
Not only are there fewer people who believe in so-called gods, but as people's knowledge grows, their hearts become more complicated. Even if they have faith, it is difficult for it to be as pure as that of the ancients.
"You guys took the initiative to remind me of this. I hadn't thought of attacking the power of faith..."
Chai Xin gave up the idea of returning, took a light step forward, and immediately disappeared from the spot.
Upon seeing this scene, the twelve powerful monks who were controlling the hexagram formation were immediately horrified. They dared not accumulate strength any more and burst out with all their skills.
"We must stop him. His Majesty has just sent a message saying that he already knows the situation here and is rushing back as soon as possible. By then, the formation will be intact and it will be easy to kill him, a guy who has not yet been killed!"
"Kill this yellow-skinned kid. We can't let him continue to grow!"
"If our great Western religion can't even handle a little Eastern devil like this, then those guys in Northern Europe and South America will definitely laugh at us to death if the news gets out."
Naturally, these people had extraordinary vision, and they could tell Chai Xin's real age, which was only in his thirties. He could indeed be called a "little kid" among the practitioners.
Even the so-called "younger" generation of many sects are much older than Chai Xin, Ye Fan and others.
It was precisely because of Chai Xin's youth that these people were even more reluctant to let him go. With such strength at such a young age, if he was given another hundred years, how could other forces survive?
The talent and strength shown by Chai Xin have made these old guys in the West deeply fearful. Even if he is really willing to put down the Golden Cloth and the Spear of Destiny, those people will never let him go.
What's more, the two sides can be regarded as sworn enemies.
"Where did that kid go? How could he hide under the coverage of the hexagram array...ah!"
A figure shrouded in pure white holy light was wondering where Chai Xin had gone, but was horrified to find that a purple fist had pierced through his chest from his back and emerged!
He turned his head slowly, and an incredible look appeared in his big blue eyes, which then quickly dimmed.
"They are both on the second level of Xiantai, and they are indeed far inferior to the royal families of Yuhua Divine Dynasty."
Chai Xin threw the corpse away casually, and there was not even a trace of blood on his fist, which was obviously covered by divine power.
"The Sixth Bishop!"
"Damn it! This yellow-skinned kid killed the Sixth Bishop!"
"Don't panic, use all your strength to activate the hexagram formation!"
Of the twelve people who were setting up the formation, one was missing, and the brilliance of the hexagram formation had visibly faded a lot.
Chai Xin's steps were slow, but his figure disappeared again. Every time he appeared again, a scream would be heard.
In just a dozen breaths, more than half of the twelve bishops had fallen.
None of these powerful beings could survive even one round at the hands of Chai Xin. This is the tragedy of relying too much on external forces.
His strength is far inferior to that of the cultivators of the same level who rely on their own practice!
Even with the blessing of ancient magic array and infinite power of faith, it still cannot make up for the huge gap.
After all, Chai Xin is an existence that can suppress even the best in the way of killing, such as Prince Yuhua!
Although he did take some shortcuts that day, the strength of Prince Yuhua, even if it was weakened, is definitely not comparable to these inferior powerful beings.
"This yellow-skinned kid from the East is simply a devil!"
"Why hasn't His Majesty arrived yet? I can't hold on any longer..."
More than half of the people who set up the formation have been killed. How can the formation be maintained?
The huge hexagram disappeared completely, and the entire holy city became gloomy. The faces of the remaining bishops were pale, and they had lost the determination to continue fighting.
