The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 496: Concealing the truth and overcoming difficulties

The atmosphere on the Yellow Springs Mountain had become extremely tense. As Tianzun took action, many people looked at the Painted Skin Master as if they were looking at a dead person.

Some people gloat over other people's misfortune, while others worry and sympathize with others.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a minute, my Lord!"

The voice was deep and majestic, and even under the terrifying aura of the Heavenly Venerable, it still could not conceal its domineering nature.

In an instant, Tianzun's outstretched hand paused slightly, and the Zen spirit on Mount Yamabu dissipated with the wind. Tianzun's eyes under the mask showed a ripple, as if he was somewhat interested.

All the Heavenly Stems showed surprise.

Because of this sentence, the one who saved the life of the Painted Skin Master was not the Two-Faced Buddha or the Tiger King who were on good terms with him, but Yama Luo who had always been at odds with the Painted Skin Master.

At this moment, Zhang Jiuyang, who played the role of Painted Skin, finally breathed a sigh of relief and got a moment's respite, only to be surprised to find that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He also knew the art of reversing cause and effect, but after just a quick fight, he could feel that Tianzun's attainments in this art had far exceeded his imagination.

It was even better than when he killed the abbot of Baiyun Temple before.

It is estimated that after obtaining the Huashou Sect, Tianzun's strength has been further enhanced, at least his Buddhist magical powers have been greatly improved.

Just now, he only felt that the cause and effect around him were dissipating one by one, as if he was being erased from this world. If it was a moment later, he would really disappear completely.

Tianzun lowered his eyes to look at Yan Luo and said calmly: "I want to kill the Painted Skin Master, what do you think?"

In an instant, Lao Qi and others secretly conveyed messages to Yan Luo, asking him not to meddle in other people's business, and not to contradict Tianzun.

However, Yan Luo snorted coldly, staring at the Painted Skin Master with his red eyes full of hostility, and there was a hint of hatred in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

"Tianzun, this thief and I have an irreconcilable feud. At the beginning, he slandered me as a spy and tried to kill me many times. Later, I let him go because we were both Huangquan Tiangan. I never thought that he would be the thief crying "Catch the thief!"

Yan Luo left the throne, clasped his fists and saluted to the Heavenly Lord, saying: "Please allow me to kill this thief with my own hands and present his head to the Heavenly Lord!!"

Hearing this, Lao Qi and others breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone knows, Yan Luo and the Painted Skin Master have been sworn enemies for a long time and have been holding grudges against each other. Now that there is an opportunity to take revenge, Yan Luo naturally does not want to let it go.

Tianzun looked at Yama quietly for a long time and then smiled faintly.

"allow."

"Thank you, Heavenly Lord!"

"Yan Luo, you are seeking revenge for your personal gain! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The Painted Skin Master played by Zhang Jiuyang immediately threatened, but it was difficult to hide his weak and timid look. However, he saw a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If he could take the opportunity to change back into Yan Luo's identity during the battle with Yan Luo, and add the finishing touches to the Painted Skin Master in the painting, allowing him to die in his place, he could then use someone else's trick to deceive the world.

It’s a pity that although the idea is beautiful, there is a huge obstacle to its realization, and that is Tianzun.

Zhang Jiuyang's painting skills are good enough to make the fake look real, and his current cultivation level is no longer what it used to be. Whether it's Yue Shen or Xuan Su, he is confident that he can keep them secret.

But as long as the Heavenly Lord is watching, he will never be able to hide it, without any chance of luck.

But this was the only solution Zhang Jiuyang could think of in the desperate situation. If it weren't for this solution, he would probably have died at the hands of Tianzun.

Boom!

Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Luo took action instantly, as decisively and ruthlessly as ever, without the slightest hesitation.

Raging flames shot up into the sky and rolled towards the Painted Skin Master like a long dragon, while a brilliant golden light radiated from his body.

Normally speaking, the strength of the person in the painting is only 30% of Zhang Jiuyang's, but with his unreserved mana support, Yan Luo has now exerted the strength of the sixth realm. His momentum is so great that no one would suspect that such a powerful figure could be a fake.

Because a large amount of magic power was allocated to Yan Luo, Zhang Jiuyang's own strength was greatly reduced. In addition, he could not use his best magical powers, so he was naturally defeated.

"Old Nine is still as fierce as ever, but why is Painted Skin Master so weak today?"

Lao Qi loved fighting the most and had sparred with the Painted Skin Master in the past. But now he was very surprised to see the Painted Skin Master being beaten so badly in a short period of time that he had no power to fight back.

The others also noticed this strange thing.

At this moment, the Painted Skin Master seemed to want to display some magical power, and brilliant light burst out from his body, but he vomited a mouthful of blood and his breath instantly weakened.

"Amitabha, the Painted Skin Master secretly participated in my Black Sky Plan and fought with Yama Luo, and was severely injured by him. Now it seems that the injury has not healed yet."

The two-faced Buddha stepped forward and explained, which resolved everyone's doubts.

At the same time, everyone also understood why things had developed to this point, and the Two-Faced Buddha, who was on good terms with the Painted Skin Master, refused to say a word of pleading.

It seems that the Two-Faced Buddha also holds a grudge. For some interests, the Painted Skin Master probably sold the Black Sky Plan to Jing Ye Si, which caused the Two-Faced Buddha's Black Sky Plan to suffer a heavy blow.

Just like that, after less than thirty rounds of fighting, the Painted Skin Master was covered in blood, coughing up blood, and his skin was burnt.

In order to prevent others from discovering his flaws, Zhang Jiuyang really tried his best. Although he was said to be drowning, it was actually no different from a real fight.

However, he had never experienced such a frustrating battle before. He had great magical powers, but he had to lend them to his "opponent" to fight him, and he couldn't even use his best magical powers.

His injuries were getting worse and worse. If he continued to fight like this, he would probably die here.

Zhang Jiuyang once again felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart. His mind was racing, but he could not think of any better solution.

Do we really have to try our best and replace the prince with a cat under the nose of the Lord of Heaven?

After forty rounds, Zhang Jiuyang felt that half of his body was almost shattered, and blood kept gushing out from his seven orifices.

There is no other way. If I continue like this, there will be only one outcome, and that is to be beaten to death by the Yama that I drew!
Instead of dying in such a miserable way, it is better to give it a try!
After making a decision, Zhang Jiuyang immediately turned around and flew towards Huangquan, falling into the icy cold water of Huangquan.

The water of the Yellow Spring is mysterious and contains an extremely yin energy. There is also some kind of red-haired monster lurking under the water, which can provide a certain isolation effect.

But Zhang Jiuyang knew that this alone was not enough, he had to muddy the waters before he could fish.

"Where to run!"

Yan Luo roared angrily, and then rushed into the underworld without hesitation. Boom! !
A moment later, shocking sounds of fighting were heard again from the bottom of the water. The entire Yellow Spring became turbulent, as if there were two giant beasts fighting under the water, causing countless huge waves.

Countless corpses of the red-haired monsters drifted with the waves, densely covering the surface of the river.

Everyone used their magical powers and paid close attention to the underwater battle. At this moment, the Two-Faced Buddha took a deep breath and prepared to speak to Tianzun as ordered by his master in order to attract Tianzun's attention.

Because Zhang Jiuyang was about to prepare to replace the original with the fake, he had to find a way to involve Tianzun.

But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, something strange happened.

A vast force suddenly descended on Mount Yamafu. Clouds and winds surged above the Yellow Springs. A gigantic eye condensed among the three colors of black, white and gray.

Indifferent, vicissitudes, full of lifelessness, and indifferent to everything.

"The underworld is in order and will not be destroyed by you."

After saying that, a terrifying giant hand appeared in the sky, holding the Six Paths of Reincarnation in its palm, and smashed down towards Mount Yamafu.

In an instant, even the Huangquan Heavenly Stems who had reached the sixth realm of cultivation felt humble and insignificant under the attack from the Lord of the Mansion.

Like ants under the control of gods.

The Lord of the Underworld, the Lord of the Underworld!
Huangquan has always been the territory of the Lord of the Underworld. Mount Yamafu is located on the edge of the underworld. It is a special area where Yin and Yang meet. Logically, it should also be under the jurisdiction of the Lord of the Underworld.

But it seemed that Tianzun had already made an agreement with the Lord of the Mansion to make this place his own, but now, the Lord of the Mansion suddenly appeared and took action brazenly, breaking that agreement.

Facing this mysterious and abnormal Lord who has dominated the underworld for who knows how many years, even the Heavenly Lord must concentrate fully and not dare to be careless in the slightest.

He once again used the spell of reversing cause and effect, but this time it was not directed at Zhang Jiuyang, but at the Lord of the Mansion's giant hand holding up the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Boom!

In the sky, the giant hand that seemed like a god began to disintegrate and gradually turned into nothingness, but the phantom of the six paths of reincarnation in its palm remained condensed and did not disperse.

The six realms of reincarnation and lifelong cause and effect are too great to be cut off or disturbed. They last forever and have no end.

Tianzun snorted coldly, and a golden light flashed on his body. It was unknown what magical power he used, but he actually broke through the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The entire underworld seemed to shake violently, as if the ground was cracking.

The Lord of the Mansion stopped attacking and just stared at Tianzun with his cold eyes. Although Tianzun broke the opponent's spell, he did not continue to attack. A crack appeared on his Jia throne at some point.

After a fight, they were evenly matched.

"Master, are you going to break the agreement between us?"

Facing the legendary Lord of the Underworld, who had lived for countless years and had existed since ancient times, Tianzun was not afraid at all and took the initiative to question him.

The Lord's voice echoed from all directions, as if it was the echo of the whole world.

"Tianzun, you were the first to break the agreement."

"I can give you Mount Yanfu, but you cannot disrupt the order of my underworld. However, your men have caused such a big commotion. This will not happen again."

Tianzun's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the pupil that slowly dissipated in the sky, but in the end he said nothing.

Among the ten celestial stems, Taiyin, who had been quiet all the time, smiled faintly.

"Disciple, I will only help you this once, and you're wasting it here. Is it worth it?"

The Lord's voice sounded in Taiyin's heart, and compared to the indifference just now, it seemed to have a hint of human emotion.

The current Taiyin is Yousheng, and Yousheng is not only the deity in charge of childbirth in the underworld, but also the disciple of the Lord of the Underworld.

When he became his disciple, the Lord of the Mansion promised to protect him once, but there was only this one chance.

Yousheng did not answer this question, but just smiled quietly and said silently: "Thank you, Master."

The Lord of the Underworld came to her aid, and this opportunity was extremely precious, but she did not regret doing so at all, because a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring.

What's more, Taoist Zhang saved her life and enlightened her.

Wow!

Water splashed in the Yellow Spring, and a figure flew out. In the faint smoke, one could see a black iron ghost face under a black robe and a pair of red pupils full of hostility.

Pfft!
A head with its eyes open was thrown in front of everyone. The mask was cracked and half of the face was covered in blood, but one could still see the sinisterness and resentment in the eyes.

In an instant, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

No matter what, the Painted Skin Master was someone they had known for many years and had considerable influence in the underworld. He could be considered a hero of his generation, but he died so miserably in the end.

They looked at the majestic figure surrounded by flames. Wisps of water vapor rose up, making the red pupils look even more mysterious and terrifying.

Although the Painted Skin Master's old injuries had not yet healed, he was killed in less than fifty rounds. Such strength was already the first tier under Tianzun among the Ten Heavenly Stems of Huangquan.

Even the usually arrogant tiger showed a trace of fear and regret in his eyes.

I hated myself for jumping out too early and offending Yan Luo. It seems I have to find a way to get closer to him in the future.

The seventh brother looked proud of it and admired Yan Luo even more.

"Report to the Heavenly Lord, here is the spy's head. This is the Yellow Springs Order of the Painted Skin Master. I also hand it over to the Heavenly Lord to take it away!"

When facing the Heavenly Lord, Yama's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, respectful but not flattering, and he struck the right balance.

He took out a token that glowed with a faint golden light. On the front was a pattern that looked like the gates of hell, and on the back was an ancient seal character "辛".

It is the eighth Yellow Springs Token!
A scorching gaze came over, Zhang Jiuyang looked sideways and found it was Zhuge Yu. The other party's eyes had never left the Huangquan Order in his hand.

Whoever obtains the Yellow Spring Order can replace the Painted Skin Master and become one of the Ten Heavenly Stems.

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. It seemed that Zhuge Yu knew something, so he was eager for the Yellow Spring Order.
