Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 407: The Battle between Buddhism and Taoism
Wuzhan left Buzhou Mountain, but saw dark thunder surging in the direction of Kunlun and strange lights flickering, so he hid his body and headed over.

On Mount Kunlun, the leaders of various Taoist sects followed the drawings, pushed away the thick snow, and split the stone walls. One after another, black golden steles that were hundreds of feet high were found in different locations.

There are nine black gold steles in total, as heavy as Mount Tai. They are named Cangtian, Mintian, Xuantian, Youtian, Lutian, Zhutian, Yantian and Yangtian. They were refined by Pangu using black gold and are called the Nine Pangu Stele.

Legend has it that Nuwa used the Nine Pangu Stele to seal Kunpeng, but unexpectedly he was sealed here. This must be related to Qin Moyao.

Linyazi of Huangshan, Wenjian of Kunlun, Zhang Di of Songshan, Feijian of Lushan, Xiang Yuanxing of Tianshan, Jingyu of Hengshan, Shaohua of Qingyushan, Xu Bai of Yuliushan and Leiyun of Changshan stood on the stone tablets respectively. All of them had passed the calamity and became immortals. Judging from the situation, they were going to take away Pangu's nine tablets.

Kunpeng seemed to sense the intentions of these people. The whole mountain began to shake, and snow avalanches appeared on many peaks, rumbling down and revealing protruding rocks.

If the seal is broken and Kunpeng appears, the world will surely be in chaos. Wuzhan has no idea why these people do this.

The Qilin carriage slowly stopped in mid-air, and Qin Moyao walked out with a cold face. Four disciples stood behind her. The Taoist disciples all knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, Saint!"

These people all knew that Qin Moyao was the reincarnation of Nuwa, and her status in the heavens was at its peak, on par with the Queen Mother of the West. Who would dare to disobey her?

Qin Moyao looked down at everyone and said, "Everyone, get up!"

Wen Jian stood up and said, "Saintess, we have found all nine Pangu tablets. We are just waiting for you to take action and unlock the seal."

Qin Moyao took the black ancient box from Jinghua's hand, came to the highest peak of Kunlun Mountain, opened the box, and immediately nine beams of light separated and shot towards the nine black gold tablets.

The black gold stele was pulled by the beam of light, and the runes on it appeared, shining.

"Boom..." A mountain in the distance collapsed with a loud bang, and a giant monster several thousand feet thick and as thick as a whale suddenly appeared. "Roar..." A low and shocking roar blew down several mountains, and the earth and rocks flew everywhere, leaving only the tiny black gold stele on the giant monster.

The entire Kunlun Mountains were shaking, snow was sliding off, and rocks were cracking. Everyone was shocked to see this scene. It was said that Kunpeng was so big that it was thousands of miles across. Now it seemed that the legend was true.

At this time, I saw golden light rising from the west. In a flash, dozens of golden lights appeared before my eyes. They were Buddhists from the West. A golden monk in the lead asked, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Moyao did not answer, but heard Fei Jian say: "Do we need to ask you what we do?"

The holy monk said: "This is an ancient giant beast. Once the seal is released, it will endanger all living things. Stop it quickly, otherwise, we will have no choice but to go to war."

Linyazi said: "So what if we start a war? Are we afraid of you bald donkeys in the West?"

Various Taoist sects stepped forward one after another and came into conflict with Western Buddhist disciples.

The holy monk said to Qin Moyao: "Saintess of Jiuzhou, this giant beast was sealed by Nuwa. Since you are the reincarnation of Nuwa, why do you want to unseal it?"

Qin Moyao said: "I just want to take back the Nine Stele. As for Kunpeng, it has nothing to do with me."

The holy monk said: "As a holy lady of Jiuzhou, you should be kind and compassionate. This is an act that takes away your reputation."

“Whatever you say, I will take these nine steles.” Qin Moyao said, and pulled the light beam. The runes on the black gold stele began to dim. ‘Boom…’ Another mountain fell in the distance, and the outline of a huge wing could be vaguely seen.

The holy monk no longer hesitated, "I'm sorry!" He waved his palm and a golden Buddha's handprint came towards Qin Moyao. The four disciples behind Qin Moyao attacked together to stop the holy monk.

Immediately afterwards, Taoism and Buddhism started fighting on Kunlun Mountain. Figures shuttled back and forth, golden sword shadows flew all over the sky, and the scene was extremely intense.

Qin Moyao ignored the fight and activated the ancient box to pull out the golden rune. At this time, a person appeared behind her. Qin Moyao smiled and said, "You finally show up!" Qin Moyao slowly turned around, and the person who came was Wuzhan.

Wuzhan looked at Qin Moyao and said, "Stop it now!"

Qin Moyao looked at him coldly, as if he were a stranger, "You shouldn't have shown up."

"Why are you doing this?"

Qin Moyao snorted, "You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. You have no right to ask me what I want to do. You have nothing to do here. Get out of here and don't let me see you again."

Wuzhan didn't expect Qin Moyao to say this, and said with a wry smile: "This is a matter of great importance, I can't let you act recklessly."

Qin Moyao glared at Wuzhan and said word by word: "This was all planned. You are the one who acted willfully. Get out of here now!" She drove Wuzhan away again, which was something Qin Moyao had never done before.

Seeing that Wuzhan still didn't move, he said coldly: "I beg you not to leave me, stay away from this dispute, you ruthlessly threw me away, and now you come to care about me again, why don't you get out, otherwise..."

"You've come just in time! Saint, just leave him to us." A voice came from the sky, interrupting what Qin Moyao was about to say.

Several figures descended from the sky, each with an ethereal aura and extraordinary bearing. They were the eight saints of the Taiqing Sect, Baji, Xukong, Taiyi, Ji Guang, and the Tianhua Sect, Hunjun, Caiyi, Biluo, and Zhilan.

Qin Moyao glared at Wuzhan, then turned to the eight saints and said, "You all came quickly enough."

Baji said, "This is because they were afraid that the Saint Girl would be disturbed and miss important things. As expected, she was discovered by the Buddhist sect."

"That's wrong. We promised that the affairs of the world will be left to their own devices, and none of our four religions can get involved. You didn't keep your promise and are bound to get involved in this war. Do you look down on us Buddhists?" As he spoke, eight more holy monks descended from the sky, namely Subhuti, Ananda, Kasyapa, Purna, Kasyapa, Rahula, and Prajna. Hunjun pointed to the ground and said, "These people are all ascetics from the earth, not from our three religions. How could we get involved? It's your people who interfered with their affairs, and we came here for this person." He turned and pointed to Wuzhai.

Subhuti said: "Release Kunpeng and attack the army of Magadha. This is your goal."

Wuzhan's words confirmed his guess, otherwise he would not have shown up to stop Qin Moyao. As soon as Kunpeng appeared and flapped his wings, a hurricane was raised in the desert. At that time, both the eight million troops of Magadha and the Qin cavalry were swept into the sky in an instant. No wonder the heaven did not care about Qin's westward expedition this time, it turned out that this was what they wanted, it was really dangerous.

Hunjun said: "The Pangu Nine Stele is a sacred artifact of our heaven. Taking it back has been planned for a long time. As for the army of Magadha, who made them choose to invade our land and spread Buddhism at this time?"

Even though Subhuti had a kind face, he was so angry that his eyes widened. "Since you insist on bringing disaster to the people, then my Buddhist sect will have no choice but to break the precepts and fall into the Avici Hell."

Hun Jun sneered and said, "Then let's stay here today and experience the Western Buddhism." He glanced at Wuzhan and said, "You're lucky today. I'll let you live a few more days!" As he said that, he flew above the clouds. The other seven saints also flew up, dispersed, and formed a battle formation.

The eight holy monks were not willing to be outdone, so they split up and chased after him. An unprecedented Buddhist-Taoist war began. Above the clouds, golden light and thunder were heard, magical instruments were flying, and the sky and earth changed color. Fortunately, there were no people around, otherwise people would have thought the sky was falling.

The eight saints have all reached the great perfection of the Hunyuan realm, their control over space has reached the extreme, and their soul power is as vast as the rivers.

The Eight Sages of the West are already invincible golden bodies, transcending the Five Elements. The Dharma domain has no effect on them, and their control over Buddhism is perfect. The real competition is actually the battle between soul power and Buddha's light.

Wuzhan did not leave because Qin Moyao was still trying to unlock the seal. The appearance of Kunpeng would surely bring a catastrophe to the human world. Wuzhan went on the expedition to protect the common people of China and defeat the army of Tuo State, not to massacre so many people and absorb their souls.

At this time, several more mountains collapsed. From afar, the other wing had already lifted off the ground, and Wuzhan reached out to grab Qin Moyao.

When Qin Moyao saw Wuzhan coming to grab the ancient box, she did not dodge. Instead, helplessness appeared in her eyes. She threw the ancient box directly to Wuzhan. Wuzhan took the ancient box, but his palm felt numb. He could not bear the huge weight, and the ancient box fell off and landed on the ground with a loud bang.

Qin Moyao said: "The Qiankun Box is connected to the Xuanjin Stele. It is a thousand times heavier than the Five Mountains. Without my secret method, even the immortals in the heavens cannot move it. You are lucky today. The eight saints came for you, but you didn't expect the Buddhists to help you and take the opportunity to escape."

Wuzhan knew that what Qin Moyao said was true, "Qin Moyao, why did you do this?"

"I've already said it. Since you've chosen to abandon me, I will get involved in this dispute and fight you to the end, making you regret it for the rest of your life."

"Qin Moyao, you hate me, not the people of this world."

Qin Moyao smiled calmly, "What use are the people of this world to me? Life and death have nothing to do with me. It is ridiculous that the reincarnation of Nirvana actually has pity on all living beings. You still care about the people of this world. When we are down and out, who will care about us?"

"Boom boom..." The entire ground of the Kunlun Mountains was shaken, the peaks shook violently, Kunpeng's head was raised high, towering into the clouds, "Roar..."

In heaven and on earth, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is still going on. The holy monk wants to stop Kunpeng from being unsealed, but he is held back by the holy immortal and the runes on the black gold stele begin to disappear.

Wuzhan saw this situation and knew that it was impossible for Qin Moyao to reveal the secret method even if he threatened her. He summoned his Soul Sword and slashed at the beam of light emitted from the Qiankun Box, but it was like drawing a knife to cut water, it was completely useless.

At this moment, nine golden lights flew from the western sky and hit the black gold stele. They were nine pieces of Sanskrit writing. Kunpeng's raised head was pressed heavily to the ground again, unable to move.

At the same time, a barrier rose up around the entire Kunlun Mountains, isolating it from the outside world.

"The Buddha actually took action."

A deep, rumbling voice came from the sky, and the person who spoke revealed a huge body, with purple light occupying half the sky. His face was majestic, and his aura was like a mountain, which made people feel awe. It was Taidou Immortal Venerable of Tianhua Sect.

Taidou moved his fingers slightly, shooting out nine rays of light, which burned the nine notes one by one. Kunpeng shook his body again, and the earth shook.

"This is a serious matter. I hope you will turn back."

Nine pieces of Sanskrit writing fell from the sky again, pressing Kunpeng down heavily again. The body that occupied the other half of the sky was revealed, with golden light radiating from his body, a swastika rotating on his chest, his wisdom bun clearly visible, and his face showing no sadness or joy. He looked down at all living beings, and his voice was equally deep and deep.

Seeing the Buddha and the Taoist Master appear, everyone in heaven and on earth stopped their actions and retreated to the sides, looking up. This was no longer something they could resolve.

"Wouldn't it be unbecoming for the Buddha to intervene in the affairs of the younger generation?"

"When the younger generation did something wrong, the Immortal Venerable did not notice. Where is the demeanor?"

"It seems that the Buddha will take care of it today."

"Amitabha, I hope the Immortal Venerable will stop here."

Taidou opened his palm downwards, and like a whirlpool of hurricane, it rolled towards Sanskrit, "What happened today cannot be changed."

Shakya stretched out his hand and dispersed the hurricane, "Amitabha, I am sorry for the offense."

Taidou saw Shakya attack again and smiled coldly, "If you take this blow from me, I will no longer interfere in this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge hand that covered the sky and the sun was seen falling slowly towards Shakyamuni with a whistling sound. It seemed slow, but it was incredibly fast, because this hand fell from the sky. The enormous pressure made everyone's blood boil and they could not stand up. Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
