124: Demons rise, Buddhas disappear, the body of the Mingwang

“Though this array is vicious, it has its core. I shall see if your Devil Mouth can swallow my Mount Sumeru, or if my Buddha Kingdom can suppress your Void Realm!”

“Sumeru in a mustard seed, Buddha Kingdom, open!”

With his final, grand Buddha chant, the string of ebony prayer beads that had been floating suddenly disintegrated! They transformed into countless illusory relics burning with golden flames! These illusory relics were not an attack, but like stars, they instantly imprinted themselves in the Void Realm of the plaza according to some profound trajectory!

Om—!!!

A colossal, slightly illusory swastika Buddha Seal, centered on Great Master Ku Zhu, suddenly appeared on the plaza ground and rapidly expanded, instantly covering the entire altar!

Within the Buddha Seal, countless illusory Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats faintly emerged, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting shook heaven and earth! Although illusory, it genuinely created theprototype of a Buddha Kingdom Pure Land!

This illusory Buddha Kingdom, the gigantic Devil Mouth that devoured everything, and the Eight Vicious Beast Spirit Devouring Array below, formed the most direct and fierce confrontation!

Buddha light purification versus Devilish QiDevour!

Space stabilization versus Void Realm distortion!

Pure Land creation versus Blood Sacrifice Domain!

Three vastly different Domain powers, each containing a portion of the Law, fiercely collided, eroded, and annihilated each other in this confined space!

The entire plaza seemed to transform into a rag doll being violently torn apart, space was distorted to the extreme, light flickered erratically, and deafening roars were incessant! The eight Vicious Beast statues let out painful wails, their surface runes flickering violently as if they could shatter at any moment!

Great Master Ku Zhu stood in the center of the Buddha Kingdom, his body trembling slightly, and golden Buddha blood began to seep from his seven orifices, clearly indicating that maintaining this illusory Buddha Kingdom placed an immense burden on him. The gigantic Devil Mouth, formed by Garuda Remnant Soul, also continuously twisted, letting out angry roars, its devouring speed clearly suppressed by the Buddha Kingdom’s power.

For a time, it actually fell into a terrifying stalemate!

Everyone was utterly shocked by this battle of Dao far beyond their comprehension, even forgetting to breathe.

Lin Feng stared intently at the core of the Buddha-Devil clash, a tidal wave in his heart. He could see that Great Master Ku Zhu was fighting for his life, using some secret method, even burning his Origin, to forcefully sustain this Buddha Kingdom, but it clearly couldn't last. As for that Devil Head, he seemed to have been caught off guard by this sudden Buddha Kingdom Domain, but his Foundation was deep, and his Devilish Qi seemed endless…

If this continued, Great Master Ku Zhu would undoubtedly be defeated!

The confrontation between the illusory Buddha Kingdom and the Devouring Devil Mouth had reached a fever pitch!

The golden swastika Buddha Seal rotated with difficulty on the ground, and countless illusory Buddhas and Bodhisattvas chanted incessantly, striving to purify the pervasive Devilish Qi and stabilize the space that was on the verge of collapse.

However, the gigantic Devil Mouth, covering half the plaza, was like a connection to the Nine Nether Abyss, spewing out endless black Devilish Qi, frantically eroding and devouring the Buddha light. The vortex deep within the Devil Mouth spun faster and faster, its suction force sharply increasing, even beginning to tear at the Origin of the illusory Buddha Kingdom!

Great Master Ku Zhu, at the center of the Buddha Kingdom, trembled violently, like a candle in the wind. His face was ashen, and what seeped from his seven orifices was no longer golden blood, but blood mist with a faint golden glow! He had clearly reached the brink of exhaustion, relying solely on a firm belief to forcefully sustain himself.

The illusory golden lotus beneath his feet had already dimmed and shattered, and his gray monk robe was torn by an invisible force, revealing his gaunt chest, which still flickered with a faint Buddha light.

In contrast, the Devil Mouth formed by Garuda Remnant Soul, though its devouring speed was suppressed by the power of the Buddha Kingdom Pure Land, its momentum remained overwhelming, and its Devilish Qi seemed inexhaustible.

“Hehehehe… Little bald donkey! How much longer can your Buddha Kingdom… last?” The Devil Mouth let out Garuda Remnant Soul’s triumphant and cruel cackle, “This Venerable can feel that your Origin is rapidly burning! When your Buddha Power is exhausted, that will be the time for this Venerable to devour you and this false Buddha Kingdom together!”

Great Master Ku Zhu said nothing, only continued to chant, injecting his last strength into the Buddha Kingdom. But anyone could see that defeat was certain.

Lin Feng, mixed in the crowd, was anxious.

The Ming Wang Purgatory Skill operated at its peak, his powerful physique allowing him to barely stand firm amidst the terrifying aftershocks of the Domain confrontation, but he knew that once the monk fell, everyone present would instantly become nourishment for that Devil Head!

He had even secretly communicated with the Earth Movement Divine Ability fruit in his Sea of Consciousness, preparing for the worst-case scenario—even if he got lost deep within the earth, it was better than being devoured!

Just at this moment of despair, an extremely faint, yet incredibly clear sound transmission, like a thread, precisely entered Lin Feng’s ear:

“Lin Feng… Fellow Daoist…”

It was Great Master Ku Zhu’s voice! Full of exhaustion and urgency, yet carrying an unquestionable seriousness.

Lin Feng’s heart suddenly shook. He forcefully suppressed his surprise and listened intently, without showing any change in his expression.

“Time… is short… long story short…” Great Master Ku Zhu’s sound transmission was intermittent, clearly indicating that maintaining the transmission was also a huge burden for him, “This Devil… Garuda… his strength far exceeds what you and I have seen… Although he was sealed by Fellow Daoist Golden Phoenix, who turned her true spirit body into the Secret Realm’s Origin… with layers of restraints… his Devil Soul essence… with the help of that Heavenly Devil Evil Array… has probably recovered to… the Soul Transformation level… he is just being suppressed by the Secret Realm’s rules…”

Lin Feng gasped! Soul Transformation?! That was a terrifying existence far beyond Nascent Soul, enough to establish a sect and be revered as an ancestor! No wonder he was so terrifying!

“I… miscalculated… I did not expect the Evil Array he obtained through a transaction with a Heavenly Devil to be so strange… nor did I have the complete Legacy of the temple… relying solely on my own Cultivation and an old item… it is difficult to completely suppress him…”

Great Master Ku Zhu’s voice carried a hint of bitterness, then became incredibly solemn: “Now… there is only… a risky move!”

“I observe that Fellow Daoist… Cultivates the Ming Wang Purgatory Skill… and has achieved Foundation Establishment… with abundant Qi and blood… and even contains a trace of… a strange Dragon’s might… This Cultivation Technique… is one of our Buddhist Protectors’ Divine Abilities… Cultivate it to Nascent Soul Great Perfection… and you can condense the Bright King Dharma Appearance… with every move… you can summon the immense power of heaven and earth… possessing the might to subdue all external Daos…”

“On my person… there is a Bright King Dharma Appearance Talisman… given by my sect… it was condensed by a Junior Martial Uncle… who was about to pass away… exhausting his lifelong Cultivation… it contains the power of his single strike… comparable to the Early Stage of Soul Transformation… but activating this Talisman… requires a vast amount of extremely pure Yang and potent Qi and blood… especially… it needs… the heart’s essence blood… of someone who Cultivates the Ming Wang Purgatory Skill as anlead!”

“I need Fellow Daoist… at least ten drops of your heart’s essence blood! To help me… activate the Dharma Form Talisman!”

“This act… will greatly deplete Fellow Daoist… and may even… shake your Dao Foundation… But… this is the only… hope… to kill this Devil… and save the beings of this place!”

“I hope Fellow Daoist… decides quickly!”
