Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 733 333 Moonlight Bodhisattva, Sun Palace Emperor
Shen Yuan gazed at the Moonlight Bodhisattva before him. Although there were no noticeable signs of strange corruption on the outside, Shen Yuan had clearly sensed the odd power contained within the Moonlight Bodhisattva's body.
That power originated from the same source as the twilight, yet held entirely different characteristics.
"All who attain the fruit of a Bodhisattva in Buddhism are eminent beings who have proven themselves as Eternal Golden Immortals.
Though the Moonlight Bodhisattva is far less revered within Buddhism than the four great Bodhisattvas, she remains one of the renowned great Bodhisattvas throughout the heavens.
Even such an entity, believed to be eternal, has been eroded by strangeness; the forces behind the Dusk Realm are deeper than I imagined!"
Ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan commanded Amaterasu to suppress the Eyes of Dusk, and the remnant strange twilight was not completely annihilated; part of it entered the yet-to-be conceived Moon God's fruit.
With most of the world's rules occupied by Amaterasu, along with the erosion of the strange twilight, the Moon God was unable to descend into the world for a long time, affording the Dusk Realm an opportunity.
Indeed, after noticing that the presence of the Moon God's fruit was concealed, Shen Yuan had already speculated about the state of the Moon God herself.
And from the information disclosed by the Judge of Life and Death before his death, Shen Yuan became even more certain that the Moon God's fruit had been tainted by the Dusk Realm.
After arriving at the Amaterasu Grand Shrine, Shen Yuan didn't immediately take action against the Moon God's fruit.
One reason was that he had just gone through a tough battle with the Judge of Life and Death, which had taken a toll on him; acting rashly would only startle the enemy.
The second reason was that Izanami had not yet shown her full capabilities, and with the state of the Moon God's fruit unknown, Shen Yuan might not have the advantage.
Therefore, Shen Yuan chose to wait for an opportunity to resolve the two troubles one by one.
Izanami's method of nurturing Susa-no-o was beyond Shen Yuan's expectations, but it did not deplete much of his energy, affording him ample opportunity to deal with the Moon God's fruit afterward.
It proved that Shen Yuan's choice to not act hastily was correct; behind the Moon God was the Moonlight Bodhisattva, an Eternal Golden Immortal. Acting rashly could have caused immense chaos.
After all, the Moonlight Bodhisattva was not like the Qinguang King, who was quite constrained by the two Great Divine Powers of Gods Purging and Unimpeded Netherworld; even a mere strand of will containing the Eternal True Intent of a Golden Immortal was enough trouble for Shen Yuan.
Thoughts raced through his mind, weighing the pros and cons between himself and the Moonlight Bodhisattva, but on the surface, Shen Yuan's expression remained perfectly calm.
"A great Bodhisattva from Buddhism stooping to steal the divine fruits of local deities in the lower realm, truly an eye-opener."
Facing Shen Yuan's ridicule, the Moonlight Bodhisattva's beautiful face remained serene.
"As innate deities who uphold the great momentum and power of order in the cosmos, even in the Upper World, they are rare treasures, with promise to advance to the realm of the Heavenly Immortal, igniting the desires and aspirations of many. I, too, am not immune from such covetousness.

However, my arrival in the Primal Chaos Realm is not for this Heavenly Immortal Seed."
Shen Yuan's gaze sharpened, "Since the Bodhisattva comes for something other than the seed, I am willing to offer it with both hands as long as you name your price.
But once this matter concludes, please return to the Upper World."
The Moonlight Bodhisattva smiled, her lovely visage radiating a sense of untold sanctity, yet the moonlight behind her grew colder and more desolate.
"My descent into the Primal Chaos was indeed for the Supreme Taoist."
"Absurd!"
Shen Yuan, with his right hand behind his back, said icily, "It seems the Moonlight Bodhisattva has no sincerity."
The Moonlight Bodhisattva shook her head gently:
"My words are without falsehood. If the Supreme Taoist is willing to leave the Primal Chaos Realm with me, I assure you the Supreme Taoist can attain the Eternal Realm in the future.
Even a glimpse of the Highest Heaven is within the realm of possibility."
"And what if I say no?"
There was a hint of menace in Shen Yuan's tone.
"Then the Supreme Taoist must forgive this humble monk's impoliteness."
As the Moonlight Bodhisattva's voice softly fell, the entire Amaterasu Grand Shrine became enveloped in the light of the moon.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan snorted coldly and with a slight flick of his sleeve, the three Great Demon Kings crouching on the ground were immediately teleported beyond the Sky High Plateau, while he allowed himself to be swallowed by the moonlight.
The Moonlight Bodhisattva appeared surprised: "To think the Supreme Taoist possesses such compassion, it seems the Thousand-Eyes Divine Monarch greatly misunderstands you."
"Compassion?" Shen Yuan's face revealed a strange smile.
"I simply do not wish for outsiders to see me at full strength."
Amid the endless silver brilliance, a radiant golden Great Sun slowly rose, shattering the infinite whiteness.
...
Outside the Sky High Plateau, amidst the battlefield of the gods.
All the Void Refining deities had been slaughtered by the three Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities, with Izanagi, in particular, showing signs of imminent defeat.
As Bull Head's punch, carrying the weight of Fengdu City, pierced through Izanagi's divine body, the war was declared over, and the deities of the Sky High Plateau faced their end.
Izanagi's ravaged body was clutched in Bull Head's grasp, and though he knew his fate, Izanagi did not focus on Bull Head in front of him; instead, he glared furiously at the tumultuous Sky High Plateau.
There he felt the dwindling life of Izanami, and despite his desperate striving, he faced utter defeat in the end.
"I cannot accept this!"
"I cannot accept this!"
Izanagi's eyes were wide with rage, and he let out a hoarse roar.
Just then, the sky above cracked open as three humanoid silhouettes appeared above the battlefield.
The sudden arrival of these powerful experts instantly grabbed the attention of the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities, and even Izanagi turned to look.
"The Three Great Demon Kings?"
As the voice of doubt had just arisen, the next moment, the disheveled Three Great Demon Kings roared at the gathered deities.
"Run! Hurry, run!"
