Chapter 537 273: Orthodox Technique

"Execute!!!"

The Command Arrow fell, intending to decide the True Dragon's fate.

In the execution ground, on the execution platform, Song Yu, whose martial arts were abolished and acupoints sealed, his pupils contracted in horror, filled with insurmountable hatred.

He, a dignified True Dragon, was actually going to die because of this?

"How can it be like this, how can it be like this?"

"Who will save me, who will save me!"

"Ah!!!"

Song Yu roared in anger in his heart, but it was to no avail as he was forcibly pinned on the board, while the executioner behind took the Convict's Placard, raised the Ghost Head Saber, ready to end him.

Yet unexpectedly...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Rumble rumble rumble!"

At this moment, the heaven and earth suddenly changed, winds rose, clouds surged, lightning flashed, thunder roared.

"This..."

"What's going on?"

"It's heavenly punishment, it's heavenly punishment!"

"Rebels, your retribution has come!"

"Maltreating the Emperor, causing calamity to heaven and earth, finally incur heavenly punishment."

"Heaven has opened its eyes!"

"Everyone, be sure to save the Emperor and eliminate these evil demons and traitors!"

"Ah!!!"

The weather changed abruptly, thunders appeared suddenly, as if heaven and earth were furious, intending to punish humans.

This unusual phenomenon greatly boosted the morale of the people from the Three Religions and Hundred Schools, and several Confucian Martial Sect members and Buddhist Cultivators at the Third Realm had their cultivation soar, transforming Gang into Reality, transforming Qi into Yuan, breaking into the Fourth Realm.

It is indeed...

"True Dragon Celestial Mandate!"

"The final struggle!"

Seeing this situation, outside the execution ground, on various high buildings, many people's gazes were deep.

The Three Religions and Hundred Schools, despite putting all their efforts, wanting to fight to the death, but in the vast world there are still many Loose Cultivators who remain uninvolved, watching coldly from the sidelines.

Though being Loose Cultivators, many of them are profound in knowledge, understanding the fundamental secrets of the Divine Dao, the opportunity of the True Dragon Celestial Mandate, peering into the cause of the celestial changes at this moment.

It is precisely the exertion of Celestial Destiny, the True Dragon's self-rescue, the final struggle!

If in a mundane world, the concept of destiny is quite elusive, hard to trace, no place to depend on, and even harder to affect reality.

But this is not a mundane world, but a world of Ghosts and Gods driven by strong beliefs.

So-called Dragon Qi, to put it plainly, is a different kind of Divine Dao Rank.

The people of the world submit to the Monarch, respect his governing merits, fear his power over life and death, such beliefs condense to form Dragon Qi, similar to how deities absorb Incense Fire Will Power.

Although this Dragon Qi cannot perform various Divine Techniques like Divine Power, it can suppress myriad laws, enjoin titles and ranks, control life and death with a single thought, and can surpass the limits of heaven and earth, obtaining the might above Third Grade.

This is why the founding True Dragons of various dynasties were able to suppress all sides, making the world's Ghosts and Gods look up to them.

This Dragon Qi in essence is a Second Grade or even First Grade deity, possessing the highest rank in this world of human limitations, with the greatest power and authority, able to suppress the world, leaving none to defy.

Such Dragon Qi, once achieved, is nearly insolvable, only waiting for that founding True Dragon to ascend, using various methods to provoke popular resentment and karmic backlash, ultimately dissolving the old dragon, achieving the new dragon, and changing the dynasty.

This is the only conventional method to dissolve Dragon Qi.

But now this Great Zhou walks an unconventional path, intending to use Orthodox Technique to kill the True Dragon, even abolishing the imperial system that has stood for millennia.

How mad is this?

Now, even though Song Yu has killed and harmed lives, he hasn't completely lost virtue, and there's no great public resentment forming karmic force to backlash the True Dragon in the vast Nine States.

On the contrary, during the Great Zhou's flourishing age, with peace across the four seas, there's not only no karmic force but it's even on the rise, precisely when the True Dragon's momentum is at its peak, where all people of the realm, from all sides, respect his meritorious authority.

At this time, how could it be feasible to kill the True Dragon and abolish the imperial system in the name of Orthodox Technique?

Human nature is inherently selfish, even if this Orthodox Technique has reason and foresight, as long as it doesn't truly touch their personal interests, the majority won't be moved by it; after all, as long as the blade doesn't fall on themselves, they are content to let it be, indifferent to change.

This is human selfishness, besides there are also an ancient system.

Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Legalism have educated for millennia, the Emperor's authority deeply ingrained in hearts, with just the life of a mere maidservant and the so-called name of Orthodox Technique wanting to overturn it, that's impossible.

If the world's hearts were divided into ten parts, then at least seven parts are now with Song Yu, the True Dragon Emperor. Not to mention Daoism, Buddhism, and Legalism, even among the Three Religions and Hundred Schools, and the Northern Lands people, a considerable number in the Four Southern States cultivated by the Bright Spirit King are inclined towards the Emperor, unwilling to make a big deal out of something small.

This is still the result of a century's cultivation of new teachings and new laws in the Southern Lands, giving them some soil.

If not, the world's hearts, perhaps eighty or ninety percent would be with the Emperor, and only one part would support the so-called Orthodox Technique.

Thus, how mad is this move, a sword of Orthodox Law with thirty percent public support, how can it slay the True Dragon Emperor with seventy percent authority?

Anyone else, such an approach, is almost seeking death.

But He…

"Rumble rumble!"

The winds rose, clouds surged, lightning flashed, thunder roared, as if heaven and earth were furious, about to punish the world.

Seeing this, the people who had already fled far away, and the masses in the Northern Lands, all had wavering hearts, fear, and doubts.

Heaven and earth are furious, about to bring punishment to the world!

Is it to save and protect the Emperor?

Then the Orthodox Technique is wrong, noblemen are exempt from punishment, and the law does not apply to the Emperor, is this the righteous way of heaven and earth?

The Emperor should be supreme, should be above all the people?

Fear of heavenly might, dread of the old system!

Hearts waver, inclined towards the Emperor, aiding Dragon Qi.

Yet...

On the execution platform, the executioner, who is a Dharma-Protector Divine Soldier, appeared indifferent, unemotional, raising the Ghost Head Saber high, without a trace of wavering, striking directly towards Song Yu's head.

What True Dragon Emperor, what ancient system, they believe in none of it.
