Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

"The methods were too ruthless."

These celestial beings outwardly lamented the passing of so many lives.

But in reality... they were all extremely excited!
This is such a wonderful surprise!

The three beings had taken advantage of the chaos in Xiniu Hezhou to kill the four Arhats.

Then, relying on his supreme treasure, he went head-to-head with the three great Bodhisattvas!

I thought this was the limit, but little did I know, the most amazing thing was yet to come!
The fourth greatest Bodhisattva in Buddhism committed suicide and turned the sacred land of Mount Ling into a hellish realm!
They created a dark forbidden zone directly in Xiniu Hezhou, connected to the underworld!
The surprises just keep coming one after another!
If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to catch the mastermind behind the scenes and use him for my own purposes later.

They couldn't help but clap and cheer, praising the mastermind behind the scenes for being so shrewd!

After this battle, the fortunes of Buddhism will surely decline significantly!

Not only will they lose all the good fortune they accumulated on their journey to the West, but they will also likely suffer significant losses!
But amidst the excitement...

They were also filled with deep apprehension.

"Who exactly is the mastermind behind this? How could they possibly mobilize a being like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"The Peach Banquet must be held ahead of schedule!"

"To find out who's behind this, I think we can start with those three figures. They must know a lot."

"That's right. During the great battle, the dark figure covered in demonic energy seemed to transform into a demonic ape, briefly revealing its true form. Perhaps we can find clues from it!"

"It is true that Buddhism is destined to prosper, but now, our Xuanmen also has the opportunity to rise!"

……

Leaving aside the dramatic changes in the area where the followers of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reside in Xiniu Hezhou, and also the excitement of the Heavenly Court.

Before Mount Ling, Ksitigarbha stands proudly!

Blood rivers flowed around, and rolling, scarlet waves surged, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split. Blood rain fell like a sea, as if to engulf this world!
Meanwhile, in the sacred mountain, the ancient Buddha Maitreya could no longer contain himself.

"Amitabha!"

"Ksitigarbha, you have fallen into the demonic path, turn back at once!"

The Buddhist chant was so powerful that it seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, causing the vast earth to tremble violently.

The Buddhist community has been angered, and now, Maitreya Buddha has finally taken action.

A beam of light rose from Mount Ling.

The dazzling Buddha light was like ten great suns rising at the same time, overwhelming the entire world!

Ksitigarbha's eyes were blazing with murderous intent!
The ancient Buddha of Buddhism was indeed incredibly powerful, surpassing all his previous opponents. Even before arriving, he was already filled with excitement!

If it were anyone else, those ten or so words, or even just one sentence, would have been enough to shatter their souls and destroy their bodies!
This is incredibly powerful; no wonder it is called the Ancient Buddha!

Reciting Buddhist chants can severely injure or even kill Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals!

"boom!!"

But Ksitigarbha showed no fear in the face of such pressure. He raised his head, his blood-red hair dancing like flames, and a sea of ​​blood surged around him, overwhelming everything, extremely domineering!
"Look back?"

"Go back and put your heads on your guillotines?!"

The voice just fell,

Boom!

He threw a punch straight at him!
The rolling sound waves actually struck the distant Maitreya Buddha, forcefully halting his progress!

Rivers and lakes stretching for hundreds of millions of miles are churning!
Ksitigarbha's aura was overwhelming, his blood-red robe fluttering in the wind, engraved with the image of countless demons, and his eyes radiated an invincible domineering aura!
"From this day forward, I shall be known as the Great Emperor Ksitigarbha Buddha, and shall have no further connection with Mount Ling. I shall be the Lord of the Dark Forbidden Land, the root of all chaos in the Western Lands!"

He roared angrily, his voice booming like a peerless demon king issuing a decree, his words becoming law and proclaiming it throughout the three realms!

Rumbling--

The Vajra Pestle enlarged in the air, instantly becoming a towering rod that reached the heavens and stood upright!
Under the watchful eyes of all beings in the Three Realms, the Buddha of Mount Ling looked down upon the scene below.

Ksitigarbha turned his head and glanced at the eastern horizon: "Under the guidance of my senior, today I have transformed myself into a forbidden zone and finally entered the realm of the Great Luo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Lingshan, his gaze as cold as ice.

Holding the imperial weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, with a few drops of scarlet blood stained its tip, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva swooped down with a loud bang, heading straight for Mount Ling!
His figure, brimming with demonic energy, unleashed a blood river stretching for billions of miles as he hurtled towards the distant sacred mountain!

"Then we shall do as you say, senior..."

"If I attain Buddhahood, there will be no demons in the world!"

"If I become a demon, what can Buddha do to me?"

"Vajra!"

"kill!!!"

On the golden vajra, four Buddha faces, one crying, one laughing, one angry, and one cursing, were clearly visible, with a few drops of shocking crimson blood on them!

In an instant, a power that shook the heavens and the earth spread out!
The eerie Buddhist light, carrying with it a sharp killing intent, a chilling demonic aura, and a sinister ghostly aura, had long since changed its appearance and was spreading wantonly throughout this world!

The Buddha's light surged and rolled like a raging wave, transforming into a blood-red Buddhist decree that, carrying with it overwhelming darkness, hurtled straight toward the distant sacred mountain!

Such power is simply too overwhelming!
At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was like a black sun hanging high in the sky, surrounded by a sea of ​​blood!
He was like an eternal, undying darkness, transcending everything, displaying the full form of Buddha, yet showing no trace of peace!
A frenzied killing intent permeated all directions, illuminating the darkness and completely changing the landscape!

"How dare you! Ksitigarbha!!"

"How dare you act so recklessly on Mount Ling!"

Just then, from within that dazzling Buddhist light, came a furious shout, filled with boundless killing intent, as well as endless Buddhist light and Zen sounds!

Maitreya Buddha has finally made his move!
A golden palm, withered and shriveled, almost skin and bones, yet dazzlingly bright, flowing beneath its skin is the most magnificent Buddha's blood.

It slammed forward slowly and heavily, instantly unleashing the overwhelming power of an ancient Buddha!
Between those palms and fingers, it seemed as if a Buddhist kingdom was born, with the sounds of chanting and hymns filling the air, the hymns of Prajna resounding, and the endless chanting of the Buddha's sutra echoing throughout!

Amidst the golden light and shimmering glass, a small sacred mountain could even be faintly seen!

This hand, though not large, just an ordinary size, seemed to control everything in this world!
The establishment of a Buddhist kingdom and the recitation of Buddhist scriptures is an utterly terrifying sight!

"Insolence? Who's being insolent!"

Ksitigarbha's voice was as loud as a bell, the blood river roared, his blood-red robe fluttered in the wind, and he stood proudly with extraordinary presence!

He showed no fear, clenched his fist, and met the withered yet peerless palm, instantly unleashing boundless blood-red demonic energy!
Boom!! A colossal, earth-shattering collision erupted!

The entire place, the whole world, was wailing and trembling!
The earth, which had been cracked due to the battle between the three Bodhisattvas and their three disciples, now completely collapsed and shattered!
Cracks appeared in the sky, spatial rifts shattered, and endless storms emerged!

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

Upon seeing this, the three Bodhisattvas hastily retreated, their faces grim as they looked at Ksitigarbha!

How did he advance to the Great Luo realm?
How could they be so assertive?

Who exactly is the mastermind behind all this?!
Previously, when there was great chaos in Xiniu Hezhou, they considered it a minor disturbance. Although they found it troublesome, they believed they could easily resolve it.

The deaths of the four Arhats enraged them. Even if the three possessed supreme treasures, they were confident they could defeat them; it would just take more time!
But now, they are completely unable to intervene!
"Leave this place!" Manjushri Bodhisattva commanded in a low voice, his expression full of resentment!
The battle between Ksitigarbha and Maitreya Buddha was far superior to any previous battle!

'Boom!!'

The endless mountains and rivers collapsed, and the distance swept by the waves was beyond anyone's imagination.

The two powerful figures, the most outstanding beings in Buddhism, unleashed a peerless attack that shook the entire Xiniu Hezhou!
At this moment, many mortals raised their heads and looked towards the direction of Mount Ling, their expressions filled with awe.

"Since the guidance of my senior, I am no longer afraid of anything."

Ksitigarbha remained unmoved, his blood-red robe fluttering in the wind, his demonic face contorted in a terrifying grimace, each strand of hair swaying like burning flames. He gazed ahead, his eyes growing ever more sharp and murderous.

Compassion has been lost!

"The Buddha-nature is gone!"

"If Buddhism no longer saves all sentient beings!"

"Then I will rebuild Buddhism in these three realms!"

Opposite, one golden lotus after another bloomed, and the holy and peaceful Buddhist light spread out.

The Buddhist fire burned brightly.

Amidst the chanting of sutras, the ancient Buddha Maitreya gradually revealed his form.

It was a gaunt figure, not tall, and skin and bones, but the aura emanating from him was surging to an unimaginable degree. His skin was crystal clear, and the blood flowing through his body emitted a golden light, almost turning into a solid gel.

He stood high above, looking down at the world.

Clearly, he was incredibly powerful, practically invincible. As one of the three great ancient Buddhas of Buddhism, Maitreya Buddha had a cold expression.

He fought with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva without suffering any harm. His Buddhist light and chanting spread throughout the heavens and the earth, carrying an immortal and eternal radiance.

He wore a cassock, old and worn, a pale gold color, which looked loose and oversized on his thin, bony body.

Upon seeing the ancient Buddha Maitreya, many deities in the Heavenly Court narrowed their eyes slightly!

Is this one of the three ancient Buddhas of Buddhism?

How many years has it been since he last appeared? How could this be? He clearly has such a strong life force, yet he is skin and bones, abnormally thin.

But without a doubt, everyone in the Heavenly Court sensed that this ancient Buddha was no ordinary being!
It's incredibly powerful; even during the ancient Investiture of the Gods, it would definitely be considered one of the best!

"The second level of the Great Luo Heaven, the Great Luo Mystic Immortal?" Ksitigarbha asked, his expression cold and solemn.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Ksitigarbha, you have fallen into the demonic path. If you turn back now, you still have a chance to live. Tell us who the mastermind is, or you will surely perish here today."

The ancient Maitreya Buddha high in the sky exudes an aura of timelessness.

His voice was calm, yet it carried an overbearing and unspeakable murderous intent. Unlike ordinary Buddhas who would constantly preach benevolence and righteousness, he calmly spoke of everything.

"You're not good enough, find someone else!"

Blood flowed, Ksitigarbha roared in anger, and his blood-red hair burned!
The Vajra Pestle hovered above his head, and his eyes were extremely terrifying, like two gleaming blood lamps, or more like the sun in boundless killing intent, capable of severing everything in heaven and earth!
"I'll ask you one more time, are you really going to go down this dark path? Tell me who's behind it all!" Maitreya Buddha asked, his eyes icy.

"How could your Buddhist sect be qualified to know about someone as extraordinary as our senior?" Ksitigarbha stood proudly, his long, blood-red hair billowing, his eyes piercing, exuding an aura of invincibility and supreme dominance!

"You've only just advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Do you even know the difference between a Great Luo Golden Immortal and a Great Luo Profound Immortal? The gap is insurmountable." Maitreya Buddha gradually lost his patience.

"You talk too much." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stared at him with icy eyes.

"Then I will convert you." Maitreya Buddha spoke, responding indifferently. In his pupils, light flowed, a sea of ​​Buddha energy surged, and golden rays were as sharp as the sun in the sky!
He was enveloped in a holy glow, which made him both peaceful and dignified, like an ancient Buddha descending to earth, exuding an unparalleled aura!

"clang!!"

However, the vajra above Ksitigarbha's head emitted a strange Buddhist light, carrying eerie and terrifying fluctuations that permeated all directions!

The next moment, the great battle began!
'Click!'

In the hand of Maitreya Buddha, a snow-white staff appeared, as clear as mutton fat jade, radiating a soft light.

Clearly, this was also an extremely powerful magic weapon. When it collided with the Vajra Pestle, sparks flew everywhere, causing a towering shockwave to erupt from that spot!

The collision between the two was far too intense. Those runes were invincible, cutting through the sky, shattering the earth, and causing everything around them to perish!
‘Boom! ’

Then, Maitreya Buddha opened his mouth and spat out a Buddhist mudra!
It was enormous, overwhelming, and pressed down on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The scene was terrifying. The Dharma seals, carrying the most powerful supernatural powers of Buddhism, were wrapped with the most terrifying Buddhist scripture and bombarded forward!

"Crash!!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with his Vajra pestle atop his head, showed no fear. Surrounded by a river of blood, he manifested all kinds of killing intent and demonic energy, and a large number of ghosts appeared, as if a hellish realm had emerged!
One after another, black and red ghostly figures soared into the sky, accompanied by howling eerie winds, protecting him below as he fought against Maitreya Buddha, showing no signs of weakness!

This shocked countless people!
What's happening here? !

Wasn't Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva just advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?

He was at the first level of the Great Luo Realm, yet he held his own against someone at the second level of the Great Luo Realm!
And it was facing Maitreya Buddha?

You should know that Maitreya Buddha was a disciple of those two legendary saints!
Long ago, during the most turbulent era of the primordial world, Maitreya Buddha had already become their disciple!
Although Maitreya Buddha did not participate in the Investiture of the Gods, no one dared to underestimate this ancient Buddha of Buddhism!
He had already reached the legendary second level of the Great Luo Realm countless years ago, and his foundation was extremely profound!
And now, what's going on here?!

"It's that Vajra pestle!"

In the distance, Manjushri Bodhisattva looked grim and explained the reason.

Not only Manjushri Bodhisattva, but the other two great Bodhisattvas also saw it!
That Vajra pestle was somewhat terrifying. When Maitreya Buddha's attack came down, the Vajra pestle shook and completely ignored all of Maitreya Buddha's Buddha light attacks!

An endless stream of eerie Buddhist light burst forth, sweeping it all away!

This forced Maitreya Buddha to defend himself!
It's the Vajra Pestle again!
It belongs to the mastermind behind this!
Above the Lingxiao Palace, the many gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court were utterly shocked!

This is so scary!

With the help of the mastermind behind the scenes, three Golden Immortals at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm can fight against Taiyi Peak cultivators without being defeated!
Now that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has received help, he can actually use his Vajra Pestle, a weapon at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, to fight against a Great Luo Profound Immortal?!
This was completely beyond their comprehension! (End of Chapter)
