I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 405: The Buddha from the East, Buddhist reinforcements, and an unprecedentedly powerful enemy
Pyongyang City

The dark black horse cut through the night and stopped outside the temporary residence of the Shogun.

"..."

Under the awed gazes of his servants, Oda Nobunaga, dressed in black armor, dismounted from his horse and walked into the crowded hall alone.

"General, when you left, the Ming army had already entered Goryeo, and we suffered heavy losses."

"Your Majesty, the army of Hamgyong Province has completely collapsed and morale has dropped greatly."

"Please, General, lead the troops in person and kill all the enemies."

"The Koreans we recruited previously either fled or died. They cannot be trusted. We need more Yamato warriors!"

The family elders and generals who had been sighing suddenly became excited and surrounded Oda Nobunaga with a buzz of conversation.

"What a bunch of rubbish! Even Pyongyang hasn't been captured yet, what's the rush?"

Oda Nobunaga said coldly: "Military advisor Akechi Mitsuhide stays, everyone else withdraw."

"But……"

"Those who disobey the order will be beheaded in public!"

"…My Lord is wise!"

Everyone looked at each other and quickly retreated.

"Mitsuhide, tell me the details of the battle."

Oda Nobunaga sat in the main seat, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "I also want to know how useless these rubbish are."

"Your Majesty, the Shimazu clan encountered an army led by the Ming emperor... the emperor's grandfather, Zhu Houzhao, in person in the northern border of Heian-do."

"According to the replay, the Shimazu clan only held out for one day before their tens of thousands of troops collapsed."

"In this battle, Shimazu Yoshihisa was beheaded by Zhu Houzhao himself. Zhu Houzhao then ordered that no prisoners of war be taken. The Shimazu family was destroyed."

"In addition, the Ming army's equipment is excellent. It seems that they have armor and shields made of dragon scales, strong bows made of dragon tendons, and spears made of dragon bones..."

Akechi Mitsuhide unfolded the scroll in his hand, his expression solemn: "I suspect that the Ming court has sent experts to kill the legendary evil dragon of the North Sea."

"No doubt about it, it must be like this."

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand nonchalantly, "That evil dragon has the inheritance of my old friend. I didn't skin it alive out of consideration for our relationship. It's a bargain for the Heavenly Court."

"Ah? Heaven...Heaven?"

"It's just a nickname. It will be gone soon anyway. Don't worry about it."

"It's funny, that evil dragon was so stupid when he was alive, but I didn't expect that he could be of some use after he died."

Oda Nobunaga sneered and said, "As for the Shimazu family, they are full of useless people. If they die, they die. Don't worry about them."

"Your Majesty is right. Now, Mori Motonari is leading the elite of the Mori clan to fight against Zhu Houzhao. The two are at a stalemate for the time being."

Akechi Mitsuhide said as he read: "It is known that Tianjian Wuming, Juejian Mu Yingxiong and others are in Zhu Houzhao's army. Even Mori Motonari will not be able to easily gain military merit."

"Humph! What Heavenly Sword or Absolute Sword? It won't be long before they become a complete joke."

Oda Nobunaga snorted, "The enemy is right under our noses, and the Uesugi family stationed in the northern border of Hamgyong Province has also been annihilated?"

"Your Majesty, Uesugi Kenshin encountered the main force of Wushuang City."

"The exact situation of the battle is unknown, but it seems that after only a night attack, Uesugi Kenshin led his army to surrender to Wushuang City Lord Dugu Lian'er."

Akechi Mitsuhide hesitated and said, "It is said that a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky in the northern part of Hamgyong Province that night. It seemed to be a projection of an ancient strange beast."

"Ancient strange beast? Hahaha! That's not wrong."

Oda Nobunaga laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. You can't deal with it, but it won't last long."

"Yes! It is said that after the Uesugi family surrendered, they became the lackeys of the Ming army."

"Even Uesugi Kenshin led the Uesugi family's army to a stalemate with the Takeda family in Gyeonggi Province."

Akechi Mitsuhide took advantage of the situation and said, "I think that Uesugi Kenshin should be held accountable and executed, and then the Uesugi family should be completely expelled from the family."

Although the Warring States Period in Japan was a chaotic time that was extremely bloody and cruel, those who survived basically did not have much of a martial ethics.

Such vile acts as rebellion against superiors and backstabbing allies are part of the art of war.

But during a national war, surrendering to the foreign enemy and then immediately launching a massive counterattack was really too bad.

Akechi Mitsuhide felt that even with his own moral bottom line, he would have to seriously weigh the pros and cons for a few days before doing such an immoral thing.

As the only female daimyo, Uesugi Kenshin usually appears to have a very high moral character.

When it comes to the critical moment, he can be so decisive.

Therefore, this woman's cruelty and ruthlessness will also be one of the obstacles for him to dominate Japan in the future.

Never stay!

"Sure enough, she is such a foolish woman. She still has illusions about the final outcome."

"Ah? What did you say, my Lord?"

"Don't bother. If she encounters Uesugi Kenshin, someone will take action to rip her soul off and imprison her forever."

Oda Nobunaga smiled playfully: "After the catastrophe, there will be no Uesugi family in the world anymore, so there will be no need to punish them anymore."

"Yes!"

Akechi Mitsuhide was secretly pleased: "In addition, the demon army led by Date Masamune encountered the army of the Ming Dynasty Tianxiahui, and the outcome has not yet been determined."

"Hmm? Tianxiahui? I see..."

"Oh, Wu Wudi is fine, but the two life stars left by Nuwa are also among them, so he has a little luck."

"Unfortunately, if Nuwa came in person, there might be some changes..."

Oda Nobunaga pondered for a moment, then sneered, "Don't bother with those ants. How is Lin Xuan doing now?"

"Lin Xuan? Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Ah."

"According to the spy report, he has been in the army of Wushuang City for some time, but it seems that Wushuang City is led by the city lord Dugu Lian'er, and Lin Xuan is not in charge of specific military affairs."

"The monks of Honganji fought with Musangseong in Gangwon Province, but due to the unfavorable situation, they retreated to Gyeongsang Province, while the Musangseong army entered Hwanghae Province."

Akechi Mitsuhide said cautiously: "If their goal is Pyongyang, they can reach the city in two days at most. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Knowing that this is a catastrophe of the ages, do you dare to gamble everything on it?"

Oda Nobunaga smiled grimly: "It seems that old friends are also involved over there."

"what?"

"Gather the surrounding troops and station them in Pyongyang. Prepare the entire city for war. Lance will be in charge of defending the city."

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said, "Just get this done. You can't get involved in other things. You don't need to come over these two days."

"…I obey your orders!"

Akechi Mitsuhide suppressed his anger, bowed and left.

"Dongming's coming with such force this time may affect the general's plan."

A light laugh sounded, and Yixiu appeared in the entrance of the hall in a black robe. "Although I don't know the specific situation in the imperial city that day, I can feel that my Dharma body was destroyed by the Demon Lord."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

“Although I was helped by the great general, I was able to rebuild my Dharma body and reach a higher level of cultivation.”

"But this time, I have established a cause and effect with the Demon Lord, so I should have a fight with him."

A trace of hatred flashed in Yixiu's eyes: "General, do you want me to kill this woman?"

"Do you know who she is?"

"The young monk doesn't know."

"I don't think you deserve to know."

Oda Nobunaga sneered and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You are of some use after all. It would be a pity if you died."

"Thank you, General, for telling me..."

Ikkyu was silent for a moment and let out a breath: "If this humble monk cannot deal with it... then the Demon Lord should be like Lin Xuan, an Eastern True Immortal. General, are you confident that you can defeat the enemy with a small force this time?" Although Japan still has many hidden cards, there are also a lot of real monsters and demons.

But these things can only deal with the top warriors in the realm of heaven and human beings and the realm of human immortality at most.

When one becomes a true immortal, the situation changes completely.

"That Lin Xuan is a little weird. Even if I come, I may not be able to defeat them together."

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said: "You have not yet transcended, so just deal with the war situation in the human world. The Eastern Immortal will have others to deal with it."

"Ah? Is there a peerless master in this world who can rival an immortal?"

"Hahaha! You are a monk after all, can't you even understand the situation of your own Buddhist sect?"

Oda Nobunaga laughed and said, "Xiao Sanxiao, come out now."

"I have met the Demon Lord."

A strong wind blew past, and the air in the void was slightly distorted, revealing the outline of a human figure.

The moment its outline appeared, the immense power of heaven and earth gathered upon it like a hurricane.

The next moment, the ethereal human figure suddenly became colorful.

An old man with no wrinkles on his face and a beard as white as snow appeared in front of the two of them out of nowhere.

"You Buddhists just like to play tricks on others."

Oda Nobunaga sneered and said, "Ikkyu, say hello to your senior brother."

"Smile three times?"

Yixiu frowned and said, "You are also considered a Buddhist? Which lineage are you from?"

"Thousands of years ago, I was enlightened by my master and converted to Buddhism. Unfortunately, people in this world are ignorant and lack inspiration, so a master has never been born."

"Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, I have been taught by my master and have repeatedly entered the world to fulfill people's wishes, liberate people, and spread the master's faith."

"Unfortunately, I was always defeated by fate and failed many times."

Xiao San smiled and said, "This is a great catastrophe of a thousand years, and the world has changed drastically. I saw the Demon Lord destroying temples, killing monks and nuns, and burning scriptures and statues. This is exactly what my lineage is about, so I would like to thank the Demon Lord for his help."

"Your lineage?"

Yixiu's expression suddenly changed: "Tell me clearly, which lineage are you from?"

"The mud originates from the chaos, and the white lotus appears and the prosperity begins."

Xiao Sanxiao smiled and said, "Master Ikkyu is very wise, he must have known it all by heart."

"Although I know your master, I am not worthy of practicing that method."

Ikkyu's monk robe trembled a few times: "Is the Buddha Master you just mentioned ready to come to the world?"

"Hahaha! This old man is here just for this matter, so that the Demon Lord and the Master can meet and discuss important matters together."

Xiao Sanxiao laughed loudly and sat down cross-legged: "I am very happy to have the help of the Demon Lord and to meet the master of Tantric Buddhism. As fate would have it, I will ask you two for advice in the future when I return to the Western Paradise."

The next moment, blazing white flames burned on Xiao Sanxiao's body and soul, turning his body into dust.

The flames that no longer had any support turned into infinite Buddha light that gushed out and transformed into a huge white lotus.

"This this……"

Ikkyu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "This is a bit like the Manichean Master coming to the world."

"Hahaha! This Buddha of his is not very capable. Although this lineage claims to be Buddhist, it can't make up its own doctrine."

Oda Nobunaga sneered, "They can only plagiarize from Buddhism, Taoism, Manichaeanism and even Western religions. This is the most mysterious and inappropriate thing."

"Hahaha! I'm afraid it's inappropriate to speak ill of others in front of Master Shi, gossip about them behind their backs, and expose their strengths and weaknesses."

A laughter that shook the heavens and the earth rang out from the white lotus: "It would be fine on normal days, but this world is in the midst of a great catastrophe. If you continue to create evil karma, not only will you hurt me, but I'm afraid you will also suffer retribution and find it difficult to attain the Great Dao."

As soon as his words came out, the Dharma came true. Colorful clouds fell to the ground, and the ceiling was colorful. This world had already transformed into an apparently non-existent supreme Buddhist kingdom.

Infinite light gathered again, and a middle-aged monk with a big belly and a cloth bag on his back appeared on the white lotus.

The monk has a round head and short neck, ears hanging down to his shoulders, kind eyes, bare chest and belly, and sits cross-legged on a lotus with a grin on his face.

Be broad-minded and be able to tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; smile often and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world!

"This little monk has seen the Buddha from the East!"

Ikkyu was horrified and knelt in front of Maitreya Buddha, his body trembling.

"I have come here to respond to the disaster, so there is no need for courtesy."

Maitreya smiled and said, "Don't worry, little monk. Your Buddha will be here soon."

Ikkyu: “…”

"Hahaha! You, the laughing monk, have already achieved such a high level of cultivation before you even became a Buddha. No wonder I was unable to defeat Tathagata back then."

Oda Nobunaga sneered and said, "It would be fine if we only talk about your cultivation, but your Buddhist sect has so many people and so many magical weapons, each one is more bizarre than the other. It's really enviable."

"Amitabha, I haven't seen the Buddha for a while."

Maitreya calmly changed the subject: "I am a little surprised to hear that the donor has joined forces with the Great Sun Tathagata."

"What's so surprising? Everyone just takes what they need."

"As for you... the great catastrophe of the millennium is naturally the end of the Dharma era. It is your turn to descend into the world and take action to exterminate humanity."

Oda Nobunaga was a little puzzled: "By the way, you just said that you didn't see the Buddha. Isn't Mahavairocana your Buddha?"

"The Buddha has three bodies. Mahavairocana is the Dharmakaya Buddha of the World Honored One. This is the Buddha body formed by the condensation of the countless Buddhist principles of my teaching."

Maitreya smiled and said, "But the Buddha is the integration of three bodies into one, and he is also beyond the three bodies. There is still some difference between the two."

"Okay, don't tell me about your nonsense."

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said, "It's fine that the people in the Heavenly Palace don't know what's good for them, but you, the Dragon Girl of the Buddhist Sect, are also involved. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Amitabha! Although this dragon girl knows some Buddhist teachings, she can't be considered a Buddhist."

Maitreya thought for a moment and said, "But if the donor thinks that she is from the Buddhist sect, it's fine. Someone from our sect will take action to clean up the sect. That person has some karma with the Dragon Girl, and even the reincarnation space cannot interfere."

"That Dragon Girl is not that simple either. Who have you arranged to take action?"

"Greatly compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

"...Okay, if Mahavairocana comes, there won't be much of a problem with just the three of you."

Oda Nobunaga was silent for a moment: "Do you have anything to ask?"

"You can ignore the Dragon Girl, but there are still some masters in the Heavenly Palace."

"The dragon vein is very prosperous this time. I'm afraid it may even involve Emperor Xuanyuan. We should not underestimate it."

Maitreya looked towards the Central Plains, his expression slightly relieved: "But it doesn't matter, that person has repeatedly ruined our Buddhist affairs, and the cause and effect are deeply entangled. I should be able to find some help. How is the situation here, donor?"

"During the great catastrophe, I will personally take action to resist the power of humanity in this world."

Oda Nobunaga grinned and said, "According to the agreement, when the ruthless blade is cut, Amaterasu will also descend, so there will be no mistakes."

"Will Amaterasu come too?"

Maitreya thought for a moment and said, "Amitabha! I can't think of any reason for failure this time."

"Okay! You quickly gather the people. After we join forces to kill the immortals in heaven, we will destroy the human race here, and then great things will be accomplished."

Oda Nobunaga drew out his ruthless sword and said with a smile: "With ruthlessness in hand, destiny is on my side. Now I have the advantage, I will win this battle!"

"The donor complies with the will of heaven, and is naturally invincible in the world!"

Maitreya raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "I am willing to obey the orders of the donor and kill the robbery."

"..."

Ikkyu's eyes flickered and he fell silent.

It's quite good that you guys discussed it, but at least you should ask for my opinion.

If you really want to exterminate humanity...

what should I do?
Move to the Western Paradise with Xiao Sanxiao?
Ikkyu felt that this issue needed to be carefully considered.
