Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 406 Seeing the Buddha
The dazzling sword light seemed to fall from the sky, turning into streaks of silk, or like pieces of starry silk spread out.

Any evil creatures from outside the world that were touched by this sword energy were destroyed in an instant and completely annihilated.

However, even so, it only temporarily stopped the evil creatures from outside the world from spreading the deadly gray fog outside the sacred mountain.

Even for Jiang Lin, it would not be possible to completely eradicate the evil creatures from outside the entire Lingshan Mountain in a short period of time.

Yes, for Jiang Lin, killing these evil creatures from outside the world is no different from stepping on ants, but if he faces tens of thousands of ants, Jiang Lin will also be in trouble.

That's pretty much it for now.

There are so many evil creatures from outside the world lurking in Lingshan that they are capable of corroding and infecting all the Buddhist monks in Lingshan.

"Amitabha!"

"Who offends the Lingshan territory?"

"Crazy man!"

Shouts of rebuke rang out from within Lingshan.

A Buddhist monk flew out from Lingshan Mountain and headed straight towards the madman who was killing people on Lingshan Mountain.

Brilliant Buddha light condensed in his palm, and the true meaning of Vajra Glass spread, transforming into a huge golden wheel, ready to suppress the madman.

This is in the eyes of the monks.

But in the eyes of Jiang Lin and others, what suddenly rushed out was a monster covered with densely packed black tentacles, which brought people an extremely terrifying and mentally polluting evil creature as it walked and flew.

This evil creature exuded a strange black aura, and countless tentacles were wriggling and twisting in a disorderly manner, giving off a series of piercing and shrill, but completely inaudible sound waves.

"Blessings and blessings are immeasurable."

Jiang Lin sighed and handed over the Seven Star Sword in his hand.

The sword's tip was as bright as a rainbow, piercing through the monk's head and also killing the evil creature from outside the world on his body.

Jiang Lin did not wield the sword casually, but truly used his magic power.

Because if not, it would be impossible to destroy the evil creatures from outside the world on the monk's body.

At the moment of his death, a moment of clarity seemed to flash across the monk's eyes, which were completely covered by countless thin tentacles.

But he only had time to give Jiang Lin a grateful and apologetic look before his emotion completely extinguished.

Jiang Lin nodded slightly, not caring whether the monk could see it or not.

At the same time, his expression became much more serious.

Lingshan was not destroyed and then occupied by evil creatures from outside the world, but was completely infected and controlled.

In other words, those monks on Lingshan Mountain did not completely disappear, but were possessed by evil creatures from outside the world.

The evil creature from outside the world deliberately left the body of the person it was possessing intact, and replaced its insides with itself.

This means that even if Jiang Lin wants to kill such an evil creature from another world, he has to break through the physical defense of the person it is host to first.

It sounds easy, but don’t forget that it’s not just the monks who are staying at Lingshan.

There are also Vajra, Arhat, even Bodhisattva, and even Buddha!
With Jiang Lin's current level of cultivation, the simple physical defense of the Arhats and even some Bodhisattvas will not cause any trouble to Jiang Lin.

But if it comes to the level of Buddha, it is not that simple.

And, just because it won't cause any trouble doesn't mean it won't take any effort.

This is fundamentally different from easily killing evil creatures from outside the world.

Jiang Lin would also feel tired. He is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal now, not a person with great supernatural powers.

How many bhikkhus, how many arhats, and how many Buddhas are there on this sacred mountain of Buddhism?
"Ah……"

Jiang Lin sneered, and visible anger rippled from his eyes.

No matter what, Buddhism is still the orthodox way in the Three Realms. Even if there are a few bad apples, it will not spoil the whole barrel.

Even with these few pieces of rat shit, it is still unclear whether they are caused by evil spirits from outside the world.

With the destruction of Lingshan, most of the foundation of Buddhism was cut off, and how innocent were those monks and Buddhists who died there?

Even after death, they will be exploited by these evil creatures from outside the world, their bodies will be defiled, and they will be forced to become accomplices in causing chaos in the three realms.

Just now, the monk was seeking liberation in his last moments of life.

Buddhist monks who have such thoughts are definitely not the only ones on Lingshan Mountain.

"In that case, I will set you free."

Jiang Lin muttered to himself.

Take a step forward.

I don't know when, dozens of monks have rushed out, each of them has countless tentacles covering their bodies.

Jiang Lin said nothing, but just held the sword horizontally and slashed.

'Zheng! ! '

The sword light vibrated, destroying the boundless evil spirit and also rippling with murderous power as vast as the sea.

Dozens of elite monks at the Golden Immortal level, who were comparable to ordinary Arhats in Buddhism, had their heads chopped off by this sword.

Jiang Lin's footsteps hardly stopped, but he kept heading towards the Great Leiyin Temple on Lingshan Mountain.

"Ugh!!!"

Amidst the sharp, shrill howls that did not sound like human voices, or rather, the horrifying sounds produced by the countless tentacles twisting, wriggling and beating the air violently.

A total of eight tentacle groups, larger than the previous monks, rushed out from Lingshan.

"The Eight Vajra of Buddhism..."

Jiang Lin only took a glance and saw the essence of the world covered and eroded by the evil creatures from outside the world.

These are the Eight Vajras of Buddhism, the guardian deities of Buddhism who guard the Leiyin Gate for Tathagata Buddha.

Each of them is at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Even though he can only be considered as the lowest rank among the Taiyi Golden Immortals, one can already see the profound Buddhist foundation.

But now, this foundation has become food for the evil creatures from outside the world.

Jiang Lin looked at the Eight Vajra rushing over, and without hesitation, he stepped forward, and the sword light burst out again.

First he was the Golden Immortal Bhikkhu Monk, and then he was the Taiyi Golden Immortal Vajra.

It seems that the evil creature from outside the world is preparing to use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire to consume Jiang Lin completely.

But in fact, these evil creatures from outside the world do not have this wisdom. Faced with Jiang Lin, their natural enemy, they have no choice to escape under certain commands rooted deep in their existence.

With their road to desperation, these evil creatures from other worlds are instead aroused to become ferocious, as the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over the wall.

Of course, they wished they could pour out all the eroded Buddha's existence and drown Jiang Lin directly.

The reason why he didn't do so was because the great sages of the human race behind Jiang Lin were not just for show.

Every Buddha controlled by evil creatures from outside the world who wanted to get close to Jiang Lin and crush him to death was stopped by the human sages.

Although for people other than Jiang Lin, even those with great supernatural powers would find it very difficult to deal with evil creatures from outside the world.

In particular, these evil creatures from outside the world are not only powerful themselves, but they are also controlling the bodies of people at the level of great supernatural powers.

However, although it is tricky, it is not impossible to contend with. It is not a big problem to just delay it.

But there is still a problem. There are at least twenty Buddhas who have been completely eroded and infected in Lingshan, but there are not so many human sages present.

But that's not a problem.

‘Buzz! ! ’

After Jiang Lin killed the Eight Vajra, he sensed some familiar aura.

He looked back and saw the Four Heavenly Masters, the Four Saints of the North Pole, and several great masters from heaven who Jiang Lin had never met, coming together. Except for the Great Marshal Tianpeng who showed up to lead the team, the other seven big guys also faced off against a Buddha as soon as they appeared.

"Xuanying, do your thing and don't worry about anything else."

The voice of Marshal Tianpeng sounded in Jiang Lin's ears.

Jiang Lin nodded silently, vibrated the Seven Star Sword in his hand, and walked towards the Leiyin Gate.

'Ugh! !'

Two larger groups of tentacles rushed towards Jiang Lin.

The moment he saw the two tentacles, Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then an even stronger anger rose in his heart.

There is a bit of sadness in it.

The aura of these two tentacles is at the upper level even among the Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Especially the bigger one, its aura is even enough to rival that of the top Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Such Taiyi Golden Immortals are rare even in the entire Three Realms.

Jiang Lin could see through the dense tentacles and the existence that was being swallowed and controlled.

But it is precisely because I can see through it that I feel angry and sad.

"Blessings and blessings are immeasurable."

Jiang Lin sighed lightly, but the strength of the Seven Star Sword in his hand was reduced by three points.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal, who is controlled by evil creatures from outside the world, is an even more difficult existence for others.

But for Jiang Lin, this is an extremely obvious flaw.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal who was swallowed lost his magic power and the blessing of cause and effect, and was left with only a physical body.

As for the evil creatures from outside the world, they are just ants to Jiang Lin.

Under the unequal and completely unreasonable restraint, Jiang Lin gradually destroyed the evil creatures from outside the bodies of the two Taiyi Golden Immortals.

As time passed, Marshal Tianpeng, who was patrolling in the distance, also noticed something was wrong and frowned deeply.

Even a top-notch Taiyi Golden Immortal should not be able to hold on for so long facing Jiang Lin at this moment.

But Jiang Lin seemed to be restrained, trying his best to destroy the evil creatures from other worlds on his body without hurting himself.

What’s the point of doing this?
Even if Jiang Lin accurately peeled off and killed the evil creature from outside the world on his body, he would still die. There was no other possibility...

"I just want these two to die as human beings."

Jiang Lin seemed to have heard the thoughts of Marshal Tianpeng. While accurately killing the evil creatures from outside the realm, he spoke softly: "The former generals of the Heavenly Court should not have died without dignity."

Marshal Tianpeng was suddenly stunned when he heard this.

At this time, the smaller of the two Taiyi Golden Immortals covered by tentacles had all their tentacles chopped off, and its true form was briefly exposed. Its eyes, which were originally covered by countless dense tentacles, also regained a brief moment of clarity.

He was a sturdy man with a thick beard who was mostly a monk. His face looked honest, but also revealed his determination.

He seemed to understand the current situation and knew that he would not live long. He just smiled gratefully at Jiang Lin.

Then, as if he had made a decision, he looked towards Marshal Tianpeng in the distance.

As Marshal Tianpeng was moved, the sturdy man slowly bowed and saluted.

"I am Lingxiao's Curtain-Lifting General, holding a sharp weapon in front of the Emperor to serve the Jade Emperor..."

In a trance, Marshal Tianpeng saw the burly man who never took off his armor or put away his sword even in front of the Great Lord of Heaven.

What the other person said when they first met was so consistent with the almost inaudible mumbling of the man now, who was like a candle in the wind.

He is Juanlian! He is Huaguang!

Marshal Tianpeng's eyes suddenly trembled.

Since this is a roller blind, the other one...

At the same time, Jiang Lin also destroyed the evil creature from outside the world on the body of another Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Then, Jiang Lin put down his hands, stopped his sword, and watched quietly.

Look at the figure with a wide belly and a huge pig head.

The figure was a little confused at first, but immediately raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.

Marshal Tianpeng appeared beside Jiang Lin at some point, staring at the fat figure closely.

Even though he has changed beyond all recognition, even though he has been reincarnated, how can Marshal Tianpeng forget the disciple whom he named "Tianpeng", the one he was most proud of, and the one who was like his own son...

"Master..."

The figure opened his mouth widely, laughing in a somewhat heartless manner.

"I am an incompetent disciple. I was embarrassed by that evil creature..."

He spoke intermittently, and the flame of life that was already a last ray of light became increasingly weak.

"It's not you who is incompetent, it's the teacher."

Marshal Tianpeng closed his eyes, with tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

However, the next moment, the Grand Marshal suppressed all his emotions and weakness, and just shouted: "Where is the leader of the thirty-six generals of Tianpeng Mansion!"

"I, the Supreme Lord Tianpeng, am here on orders."

The figure answered almost instinctively.

Marshal Tianpeng did not open his eyes, but waved his hand and turned around. The scarlet cloak fell off and slowly fell on the shoulders of the figure.

"Xuanying, send him off with your sword."

Marshal Tianpeng returned to where he should be, monitoring the Buddha who had never appeared in Lingshan.

Only one voice remained in Jiang Lin's ears.

"Whether you are Juanlian or my disciple, we are all warriors. If a warrior dies, he should die in battle!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin did not hesitate but raised the seven-foot green peak in his hand.

"only."

Jiang Lin responded and walked towards the dying Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, no, it was General Juanlian and Tianpeng Zhenjun.

"I am a general who walks under the seat of Ziwei in the North Pole of the Heavenly Court. I am a third-rank martial arts officer of the Divine Sky Jade Pivot. I am following the order of Tianpeng and am here to escort you two with my weapons."

'Zheng! ! '

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword flashed, the sword tip was bright, and the sharp sword light slashed across two necks, bringing the final relief to the two former gods in heaven.

After doing all this, Jiang Lin did not look back, but just looked at the Leiyin portal that was right in front of him.

The gate was wide open, and pavilions and towers could be vaguely seen, as well as the countless Dharma seats of the past. It seemed that one could also see the Tathagata Buddha sitting high on the lotus pedestal.

You can see the five hundred arhats, the eight great bodhisattvas, and the various Buddhas, each sitting in meditation and listening to the Buddha’s teachings.

The Buddhist Ullambana Festival is sure to be a grand spectacle.

But now, there is nothing left, except for the lotus pedestal stained and entangled by tentacles.

Jiang Lin walked slowly into the Great Leiyin Temple.

Not all lotus pedestals are empty.

There are three Dharma seats, and the Buddha is sitting upright.

The status of these three Dharma Buddhas is second only to that of the Tathagata.

One of them was the Lord of the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Medicine Buddha, whom Jiang Lin had seen before.

As for the other two, one is old and haggard, the other has a big belly. They are the two Buddhas of the past and future.

It’s just that the conditions of these two Buddhas are very bad. Like Amitabha Buddha, they are burning their own relics, but it is not for them to resist the invasion of evil things from outside the world.

But...

The Buddha of the Future and the Buddha of the Past have been infected by the dark and dirty tentacles. Only their hearts are still clear and shining with Buddha's light. The Buddha's light extends out a band of light and falls on the middle, which belongs to the position of Medicine Buddha.

"Little friend, you are here."

Medicine Buddha opened his eyes as if sensing something, smiled and nodded to Jiang Lin, saying, "My friend is indeed smart. You guessed the general idea as soon as Jiang Long showed up."

"Emperor Ziwei and you knew it earlier than me."

Jiang Lin spoke softly.

"Yes, I know, Ziwei knows, Dipankara and Maitreya know."

Medicine Buddha smiled bitterly and said, "But it was too late. By the time we found out, it was already too late for us all."

"The power outside the world is too obscure and too huge."

"Even if it is Daozu, he can only try his best to weaken the power of Buddhism before the explosion, so as to delay and weaken the power of the explosion of the power from outside the world."

"The Buddha is no longer the Buddha, but the three of us cannot see through it, especially Dipankara and Maitreya, who trust the Buddha unconditionally."

"In the end, they were powerless to save the situation. The last thing they could do was to use themselves as fuel to maintain my existence as much as possible."

"And I, carrying the great power of the past and the future, combined with the power of many Buddhas burning their life relics, will temporarily suppress the Buddha."

Medicine Buddha pointed at himself, and then pointed at the two Buddhas of the past and future.

"It is ironic that the Buddha, who knows the past and sees through the future, cannot see the present clearly."

Medicine Buddha’s smile became more bitter.

Jiang Lin frowned and asked, "When did it start? Why was Tathagata Buddha so easily corrupted?"

This is the question that Jiang Lin is most confused about.

"I don't know. No one knows..."

There was confusion in the eyes of Medicine Buddha.

Then he suddenly became firm.

"My friend, we cannot give you all the answers, but I have seen some things under the blessing of the great power of the past and the future."

"Now, I am about to die. After I die, the seal will completely collapse, and you will face the corrupted Buddha."

It was only then that Jiang Lin discovered that the Medicine Buddha, who seemed to be full of energy, had already been overdrawn. The three Buddhas of the Three Ages in Buddhism were burning everything they had at the same time. When the changes began, they had already suppressed the Tathagata Buddha who had long been exhausted.

"We sent Guanyin away. As the former teacher of the Seven Buddhas, she will be the most suitable guide for the new Buddhism."

The voice of Medicine Buddha was already extremely faint and was about to burn out.

"My dear friend, please just treat it as an old man's shameless trick and let go of your grudge with Guanyin, okay?"

Jiang Lin nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked: "What did you see?"

"I saw……"

Medicine Buddha's expression became dazed, mixed with a hint of horror.

"Great Heavenly Lord."

"He is not changing his calamity, nor has he disappeared. Instead, he is in a bloody battle, fighting again and again... I can see that the Great Celestial Venerable is burning up his blood and energy, using up all his magic power, and using all his might to resist another existence..."

Jiang Lin frowned deeply and asked anxiously, "Is the Great Celestial Venerable in a bloody battle? Where is he fighting? Who can be the opponent of the Great Celestial Venerable?"

The words of Medicine Buddha are too horrifying. Who could force the Great Heavenly Venerable to this extent?

Facing Jiang Lin's questioning, Medicine Buddha's expression became more confused and puzzled, and the horror and puzzlement mixed in his expression became more and more intense, almost visible to the naked eye.

After a brief silence, Medicine Buddha spoke, his voice sharp and piercing.

"I can't see the place, but I can see his opponent. His opponent...his opponent is another great celestial master!"

"The Great Celestial Master who created countless evil creatures from other realms!"

'boom! ! ! ’

As soon as the words fell, Medicine Buddha, the Buddhas of the Past and the Future began to burn violently!
It was like a last glimmer of light, or like the last moment, using its remaining body to burn as much as possible the being who had been suppressed by them and had usurped the throne of the Buddha!

'laugh! ! '

Endless pitch-black sticky tentacles erupted from under the three lotus pedestals. An existence named Tathagata Buddha broke the blockade of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss as the three Buddhas burned out, crossed the power of the past and the future, and appeared on the lotus pedestal belonging to Tathagata Buddha.

Looking down on everything, also looking down on Jiang Lin.

The Tathagata Buddha looked at Jiang Lin.

"Since you have seen the World Honored One, why don't you worship him?"

The Tathagata Buddha was wearing a cassock made of countless twisted and entangled tentacles, and each of the tentacle had countless complicated and disgusting twisting marks.

Inside this extremely blasphemous robe, a group of tentacles with a vague human shape was holding up the robe.

Jiang Lin could only see a pair of eyes, a pair of scarlet, somewhat blurry eyes, without any emotion, only endless dead silence.

It said, "Since you have seen the Blessed One, why don't you bow down to him?"

Then Jiang Lin let his hair down and held the sword in his hand. The sword light rose up and penetrated the clouds in the sky!

"Thank you for the paralysis."
