Chapter 773: The Sound of the Bell Breaks the Diamond Realm
In the Western Regions, in a holy place dedicated to Buddha and the devil, the palace is decorated with seven treasures, and butter lamps emit a dim glow, making the surrounding agate, crystal, pearls and colored glass reflect colorful rays of light, which is extremely gorgeous.

But there was great silence in the palaces.

This is not an easy task, as there are a large number of monks in the holy land, some number over ten thousand, and some number four to five thousand.

Many beginners in the practice not only cannot use their magical powers to travel between places, but also have to constantly resist the bewitching voices coming from the Six Desires Gilded Sutra Pillars, the Seven Emotions and Seven Treasures Silver Bottles, the Worldly Rage Bone Ornaments, and the Thousand Souls Wish Tower, which appear to be decorations in various parts of the palace.

According to the predecessors, if you cannot remain calm under such temptation, you are not worthy of practicing magic. If you disturb the peace of this place, you deserve to die.

Only when they transform the six desires around them into purity and the seven emotions into emptiness, can they be considered to have entered the gate.

As for the reason.

This is a holy place in the Buddhist kingdom and should be solemn and sacred. All believers should do their best to maintain its solemnity.

If this cannot be done, the many masters under the Buddha and Demon thrones do not mind using the lives of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people to protect it.

It is also under this kind of special oppression that enormous vows and thoughts are constantly flowing in these holy places. Countless gilded scriptures emerge in the void from time to time, turning the entire holy land into a pure land on earth. At the same time, it plunders all the vitality, vows, and vitality around it, and gathers them on some monks in the center of the holy land.

Most of them were skinny, with deeply sunken facial features, and within their brass-like flesh were wisps of diamond light, revealing their extraordinary cultivation.

Suddenly, a ray of glazed Buddha light fell from the void.

The monk on the central lotus throne leaped forward, quickly and silently landing in front of the lotus throne, performing the prostration ceremony.

The other monks also quickly came down and followed suit.

The glazed light turned into a Buddhist seal on the lotus seat. The monk bowed in worship before stepping forward to take it.

The surrounding Dharma guardian monks bowed and congratulated the monk in the center: "The Holy Buddha has issued a decree, which should be a sign of great prosperity for our sect. May I ask, Master, what instructions does the Holy Buddha have?"

A little golden light appeared in the eyes of the sect leader Pokara, and the Buddha seal merged into his brow. He saw the envy in the eyes of the monks around him, but he didn't care. He said indifferently: "The Holy Buddha hopes that we will go to the East to explore some of the mysteries. For this purpose, he specially bestowed the glass Buddha light. Is there anyone willing to go?"

The guardian monks looked at each other after hearing this, and finally a skinny old monk spoke up: "Now that the Holy Buddha has come to the world, the Central Plains, the Eastern Land, the Southern Border, and the Northern Wilderness should hear the Holy Buddha's Sanskrit voice. However, many demon kings in the Central Plains are now in control, and it is said that a free god (Chu Tai) has appeared in the Eastern Land. If we can't subdue him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."

Another monk retorted, "It is our duty to subdue the heretics. The Demon King of the Central Plains is difficult to deal with, the King of Demons in the Southern Border is terrifying, and the Northern Wilderness is a mixed bag. Only the Eastern Land is the most suitable. If we can subdue the Lord of Freedom, not only will we be able to add a Dharma protector with infinite magical powers to the Taoist tradition, but our Buddhist practice will also be able to benefit. This is the gift of the Holy Buddha."

Upon hearing this, Pogara above couldn't help but reveal a smile. As one of the few Western Buddhist practitioners who had practiced hard in the human world for many years and was promoted to the third rank with the coming of Buddha and Demon, he was the most devout believer in Buddha and Demon.

At this moment, he was even more confident after receiving the Glazed Buddha Light. He looked in the direction of the Snow Mountain Sect and Du'egongsema and said, "I knew earlier that there were two outsiders practicing in our territory who were related to the Eastern Land Self-Master. I will take this opportunity to use their identities to find out more."

As he spoke, Bhagara opened his mouth and recited scriptures. Obscure Sanskrit sounds came out of his mouth, and infinite Buddha light emerged from behind his head. As his thoughts changed, it turned into a Buddha light that descended from the sky and enveloped the Snow Mountain Sect and Duogongsema.

The Snow Mountain Sect had already made preparations to evacuate when problems arose in the Western Regions, and had repaired many of the earth veins early on.

After realizing something was wrong, he immediately took out his treasure and activated the formation. Endless clear light surged, auspicious clouds and auspicious air rolled, and layers of protection enveloped the void.

In comparison, the defense of the Duogonsema tribe is even more miserable.

In the early years, the Duogonsema tribe wanted to leave and move closer to the Snow Mountain Sect.

But the Snow Mountain Sect was also in a difficult situation, so they arranged them to another place, disrupted the destiny and confused the aura. They never thought that they were targeted so early.

Faced with the falling Buddha's light, Duogonsema could only pray to Shao Siming and Jinguang Tiannv as he did in the past.

Chu Tai, who was thousands of miles away, felt Duongunsema's wish and couldn't help but look over.

True Lord Qingshi, who had not yet left, said, "Just go ahead and do it. If the Buddha or the demon bullies the weak, I will handle it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai immediately expressed his gratitude, and then with the help of Du'egongsema's power of will, he first contacted the Snow Mountain Sect, and then took out a golden bell hammer in the shape of a Ruyi, and gently knocked on the Donghuang Bell.

At this time, Bhagara, who was casting a spell from a distance, had already felt that the Duogonsema tribe was falling. The smile on his face became even wider, and the Sanskrit chanting from his mouth was also filled with a bit of joy. In the murals around the palace, many celestial maidens appeared, holding musical instruments and surrounding them. Golden light was flowing, which was quite magnificent.

At the moment when success was about to come, a bell rang out, and the golden light shattered in an instant, and the Sanskrit sound disappeared. Bhakara's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly used Buddhism to suppress it, but it was no use.

He let out a mournful howl, and infinite lapis lazuli Buddha light burst out from his body. Then his flesh and blood expanded, and many strange visions appeared before his eyes.

His hands changed into a secret hand seal, and he shouted, "Everyone, help me quickly!"

The skinny monks nearby stood up one after another and came to Bhakara. Buddha's light appeared on their bodies and spread out layer by layer.

Countless Buddhist scriptures and mantras form petals after petals, forming the shape of a huge mandala flower, which rotates slowly like a treasure wheel or a mandala. Countless scenes and worlds are vaguely visible inside. The phantoms of many guardian gods emerge, waving their magic tools, deriving more petals, forming one perfect cycle similar to the mandala flower after another, and constructing one changing circle after another.

At the same time, throughout the holy land, the infinite accumulated vows and thoughts were also activated. Countless Sanskrit words and infinite Zen chants emerged and echoed in the void. Countless monks and nuns appeared and chanted scriptures at the same time, interweaving together to stimulate the vows, which expanded outward based on the cycle constructed by the monks to form a pure land.

Lotus flowers bloomed in the Pure Land. Many Vajras, celestial beings, garudas, arhats, and even the shadows of Bodhisattvas appeared one by one, surrounding Bhagala, forming a perfect protection and trying to suppress the changes.

"Vajra Mandala barrier?"

Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly. A similar method had been performed once before during the great catastrophe by the Goddess of Pure Light with the help of the power of many Buddhist monks. This method was able to gather the power of many monks and was infinitely mysterious.

However, it was broken by the monks from Fanjing Mountain using the power of Buddha and demon.

Seeing this scene now, Chu Tai couldn't help but sneer, and swung the bell hammer in his hand again, tapping the Donghuang Bell lightly. "Using the power gained by fooling sentient beings to build the Vajra barrier, you really don't know how to live or die."

Many Dao Fruit fragments emerged one by one and fell into the barrier with the sound of the bell.

The sound of the bell is peculiar, carrying with it a sense of mystery of enlightenment, awakening, and guidance, while at the same time it contains a hint of the secret of twisting cause and effect and the light of the universe.

As the sound of the bell echoed in the barrier, the originally peaceful and stable wish power inside suddenly reversed and turned into wisps of dark and ominous aura.

In an instant, many Buddha statues, pagodas, silver bottles, bone ornaments, and stupas in the holy land shattered one by one, and a dark and ominous aura continued to seep out from inside.

These auras all reveal an aura of stubbornness, obsession, blind following, as well as a despair and resentment after the faith is shattered.

Once these forces emerged, the originally extremely solid and unshakable Vajra Barrier immediately began to shake violently like an earthquake.

Many monks were shocked and angry for a moment. Before they could react, they saw the mandala shattered, the seven treasures dissipated, and the wishes in countless Buddha lights backfired.

These backlashes swept in all directions, turning into miserable and gloomy winds that made the earth look like the underworld.

There was also endless sin surging around many monks, causing their seven emotions to become confused, their six desires to rise, and their five senses to become misplaced.

The Buddha's light around his body dimmed and disappeared, and the Vajra Dharma in his bones and blood became like a worm-eaten thing, becoming riddled with holes.

Afterwards, countless flames like red lotus bloomed, igniting the flesh and blood of all the monks, turning the entire holy land into a sea of ​​fire.

Only on the body of the Bhagala, there was still a faint lapis lazuli Buddha light still persisting. No matter how strong the wind from the outside world was or how hot the flames were, it could not affect it in the slightest.

The Buddha and the demon felt the changes in this place and their faces suddenly turned ashen.

Everything that Pogara experienced at this moment was just like the time when he fought with Junmo. Although he thought that his cultivation was far superior to Junmo's, he was also exposed by the other party, which led to flaws in Buddhism and then tore apart part of his Tao fruit, causing errors and omissions in the Tao fruit that was originally almost perfect.

Seeing it again at this moment, he couldn't help but have some distracting thoughts in his mind, and as soon as his thoughts came to his mind, infinite rays of light intertwined above the Western Regions in an instant. Bits of his mental power turned into blooming lotus flowers, scattering in the void, and quickly occupied two-thirds of the Western Regions.

The mental power surges in these golden lotuses scattered in the air, driving the lotuses to rotate. One rotation is a pure land, and two rotations is another world. In these pure lands and worlds, there are the phantoms of many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

When the resentment of sentient beings falls into it, it is immediately carried by the golden lotus, transformed into phantoms, and sinks into the bliss of the Pure Land. The resentment dissipates and the power of vows returns.

Qingshi Zhenjun, who was watching this scene from afar, chuckled and said, "It seems that the Buddha Demon still has some ability. He found his mistakes from the past and wanted to make up for them. It's a pity that it is still just an illusion."

Hearing this, Chu Tai instantly understood what Zhenjun meant and struck the Donghuang Bell for the third time.

At the same time, the Kunlun Sacred Mountain shook, and ripples also appeared on the body of Qingshi Zhenjun beside Chu Tai, which covered the sound of the Donghuang Bell.

But Chu Tai could feel that this ripple had no power and was more like a disguise.

The sound of bells spread, the lotus flowers withered one by one, the pure land and the world were destroyed one by one, the owners of those wishes woke up again, and even more terrifying resentment surged, which affected the power of Buddha and demons a little.

Blooming red lotuses of karmic fire appeared at his fingertips, taking root in his flesh and blood, trying to devour his essence.

The Buddha Demon raised his head, looked towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain, and said coldly: "Qing Shi, do you want to fight me?"

"You are really interesting, you think you can fight me if you recover a little bit of your Dao Fruit. As long as you are willing to come to Kunlun, I dare to use you to fill Qilin Cliff."

The voice of True Lord Qingshi came from Kunlun Mountain. At the same time, the True Lord beside Chu Tai explained to Chu Tai: "Your treasure bell can break some of the Buddha's Dharma, but it has not been completely unsealed and cannot hurt his origin. It can only be used for self-defense and cannot be used to compete with him. If you really encounter it in the future, immediately offer the talisman that Yuli gave you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai immediately understood the key point in the True Lord's words: "Will the Buddha and the devil use their power to bully the weak?"

"Didn't he want to take away Jun Mo's Dao Fruit at the beginning?"

True Lord Qingshi replied and turned his head suddenly. Chu Tai also listened attentively.

While he was communicating with True Lord Qingshi, Buddha Demon and True Lord Qingshi were also arguing outside.

No one knew what the Buddha and the demon were talking about, but the angry True Lord Qingshi sacrificed a treasure to directly erase the sound, so that Chu Tai could not hear anything at all.

Then a precious seal flew out from Kunlun Mountain and fell down suddenly, shaking the golden body of the Buddha and Demon. At the same time, a sharp edge emerged from the East China Sea, and before the Buddha and Demon could react, one of their arms was cut off.

The angry Buddha Demon cursed a few more times, but Chu Tai still couldn't hear the specific content.

But with the help of the power of the Donghuang Bell, Chu Tai, who was barely able to see the scene of their confrontation, discovered that True Lord Qingshi and True Lord Yuli were three times more ruthless. At the same time, the blood that had originally vaguely gathered also receded in the first time.

Looking at the True Lord with a somewhat gloomy expression, Chu Tai closed his mouth very consciously and had no intention of asking any questions.

Only after the power of the Buddha and the devil was driven out of Shenzhou by the two True Lords did True Lord Qingshi stop his actions, and the incarnation that stayed beside Chu Tai turned around and said to him: "This guy will not appear in the Western Regions again in the short term, but you have to be careful. His power is strange, and no one knows when he will secretly erode the people around you. Especially with the rise of the Divine Way, some of his Dao Fruit power may also be restored."

Hearing this, Chu Tai was a little curious and asked, "May I ask, Master Zhenjun, what exactly is the Dao Fruit of the Buddha Demon?"

"Although it's a little strange, the root of Buddha Demon is still Buddhism, but it's very extreme and not orthodox. Secondly, his Dao Fruit also involves a lot of content about faith and vows, which is very deceptive and has the ability to sense. Once you know more about it, you will be sensed by it. So before the second level, it's best not to delve into the Dao Fruit of Buddha Demon."
