Chapter 520: Another Large Number of Demonic Incarnations Acquired
"Amitabha."

Boundless Buddhist light filled the small area, leaving only blinding daylight. Five indescribably majestic figures could be faintly seen sitting cross-legged within, some chanting scriptures, others holding alms bowls...

They were the Five Saints of Buddhism, and the aura they emitted caused the Buddha's light to ripple and surge, giving rise to countless strange phenomena that vanished and disappeared, making them extremely mysterious.

"The extraterrestrial demons have broken free, and Kong Xuan was unable to stop them."

Upon hearing this, the sages opened their eyes one after another and scanned the outer perimeter of Lion Camel Ridge. They showed no anger, as if it were expected.

Yang He was sealing off the patrolling mountain demons when he belatedly looked up.

Unconsciously, his gaze met that of the Five Sages of Buddhism. After a cold laugh, he continued with his own busy work.

A sage has already spoken up: "Medicine Buddha, when will the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field of the extraterrestrial demons be broken?"

"Seventy-two days."

"As expected of the extraterrestrial demon, its dojo is almost self-contained. After refining the Mother-Child River and the Abortion Spring, it is close to transforming into the Great Thousand World. Even we cannot break through its dojo in a short time."

As they spoke, the central Buddha light dissipated slightly, and the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field came into view.

The temple is surrounded by sages. It may seem to be only the size of a palm, but it actually contains countless mountains and rivers, and an endless sea of ​​Buddhas is constantly enveloping the temple.

The roots of the Myriad Transformations Tree must take hold at the bottom of the temple, constantly absorbing the Buddha's light emitted by the sage.

Saints are not incapable of forcibly breaking through the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field; it's just that they covet the Dao Field, so they choose to refine it little by little through strategic planning.

"Although he is a demon from beyond the realm, the Daoist temple he established is truly a masterpiece of creation, capturing the ultimate in heaven and earth, yet it defies all moral norms."

"After all, it is about recreating the Heavenly Dao, something even we cannot do."

When the words "Heavenly Dao" were mentioned, rustling sounds came from within the Five Saints' bodies, and numerous tentacle-like shadows extended outward from the soles of their feet, seemingly the out-of-control Heavenly Dao spiritual roots.

“Amitabha, look at that strange Taoist temple in the center.”

Another saint spoke up, his tone neither joyful nor sorrowful, yet he described it in detail, as if examining a painting: "The Taoist temple is built with flesh and blood as bricks and vengeful spirits as tiles, forming a self-contained cycle, which secretly conforms to the distorted flesh and blood heavenly way, endlessly regenerating yet eternally dead and silent, which is truly unheard of."

"And there's Qianyuan Mountain, which was originally just the Daoist temple of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Taiyi Zhenren."

The pot-bellied sage's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at a place in the temple where yin energy soared into the sky. "The mountain is translucent, but it is not made of metal or stone. It is formed by the condensation of endless yin energy, which extends deep into the dark underworld."

He paused for a few moments and continued, "This kind of reversal of yin and yang is close to the Dao."

"Great kindness."

A sage's figure stretched out his right arm, making a sticky sound, and cast his gaze toward a range of mountains shrouded in dark clouds all year round.

"That mountain range is even more bizarre, with its own natural energy cycle that continuously breeds demons. It seems that all the foul air gathers here. Ordinary immortals and Buddhas who enter will be assimilated and corrupted in an instant, turning into monsters that only know how to kill."

"However, the mountain range is only in its initial stage. We will need to work together to move the Yin veins of the Three Realms. Otherwise, it will take at least tens of millions of years to take shape."

The pot-bellied sage approached and examined the magnificent town halfway up Qianyuan Mountain. Black mist swirled within, and the various buildings were unlike anything in the present world.

"The Ten Absolute Cities are a unique system of forbidden techniques. We can refine the mountain range according to the methods of this city."

Even saints couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field. Even a thousand years ago, when immortals and Buddhas housed the Dao Field within their bodies, it would have been impossible to refine such a large number of celestial palaces.

However, the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field was perfectly integrated, and the Cave Heaven Immortal Court did not suffer any backlash.

The Medicine Buddha repeated, "Seventy-two days later, this place will be cleansed of its impurities and demonic nature, and will be incorporated into the supreme pure land of Buddhism to help us cope with the calamity of returning to nothingness."

Where is Yang He?

"Even if he breaks free from his restraints, it's just like jumping from a small cage into a large one. Don't forget, the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dojo is now Lion Camel Ridge."

The five saints all spoke of Yang He with a degree of disdain, especially after discovering that the latter had banned the patrolling demons simply because the flesh and blood of demons contained countless remnants of souls—a woman's compassion.

"Great kindness."

The Buddha's light intensified once more, and the five saints disappeared again into the endless Buddha's light.

.........

After several days of silence, beams of Buddhist light appeared around Lion Camel Ridge, and Buddhas appeared one after another.

The deaths of the five hundred Arhats led them to choose to descend ahead of schedule.

The Thirty Buddhas and Four Saha Worlds are all deities worshipped by ordinary people in temples, yet they are now on high alert outside Lion Camel Ridge, clearly aware of the current situation.

But they dared not retreat, even though they had to face Immaculate Buddha, one of the Seven Sages of Buddhism.

Even though the Buddhas had not received instructions from the sages, they knew that even if they could not defeat Yang He, they dared not be negligent. This also shows that in the eyes of the sages, everything was insignificant.

The importance of the Saha world is not even a fraction as great as that of Yang He.

boom.

"The Buddha said that the Immaculate Buddha's departure from the Pure Land was due to the transformation of an extraterrestrial demon!"

The Saha world is headed by Amoghasiddhi Buddha, and the other three Saha worlds are the newly enthroned Ratnasambhava Buddha, Akshobhya Buddha, and Samyaksambuddha Buddha.

Their expressions were more solemn than ever before.

Especially Ratnasambhava.

When Baosheng Buddha first came into contact with Yang He, the latter's cultivation level was only at the Golden Immortal level.

Not long ago, he received a blessing from Shakyamuni and made further progress. He thought he could overpower Yang He, but Yang He had already become a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

"Closing technique!!!"

Amoghasiddhi Buddha shouted loudly, and vast Buddha light surged forth from all directions.

Each Buddha took their designated position, forming hand seals and chanting mantras. Sanskrit characters spread from the soles of their feet, quickly weaving into a massive magic array.

The chanting of sutras resounded loudly, and the Buddha's light seemed to solidify into a tangible form

Amoghasiddhi Buddha breathed a sigh of relief. Unless Yang He could reach the Quasi-Saint level, it would be unrealistic to break the formation in a short time with four Saha beings comparable to Hunyuan Golden Immortals guarding it.

He opened his palm-shaped eye and scanned the outer perimeter of Lion Camel Ridge.

"Where is Kong Xuan's body? And what is Yang He's current condition?"

After a brief silence, Baosheng Buddha responded, "Kong Xuan's aura is still present, but unfortunately his whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps he has been possessed by... an extraterrestrial demon. However, the Arhat's corpse is exposed."

Amoghasiddhi Buddha frowned, and the Arhat's body was outside Lion Camel Ridge.

There was a gap between the eyebrows of the corpse, indicating that Yang He had stripped it of its spiritual power, and the Buddhist treasures it possessed had never been used, thus squeezing out most of their value.

In addition, the seventeen patrolling demons were all sealed up underground nearby, which was definitely a countermeasure taken by Yang He, but the reason for it is unknown.

"Amitabha Buddha, we cannot panic. Let's wait a bit; delaying is always better than nothing..."

suddenly.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The ground trembled incessantly, initially slightly, but quickly became clearly audible. Small-scale collapses occurred in the mountains within a hundred miles, causing dust to billow everywhere.

"What's that noise? Could it be the work of extraterrestrial demons?!"

“The extraterrestrial demons can be killed by everyone.”

The Buddhas looked toward the source of the commotion with astonishment and doubt. Under the dim glow of the setting sun, an endless tide surged forth, and even the Buddha's light dimmed in its wake.

Those are... hordes of demons!

The number of demons was too great to count, and they came in all sorts of strange shapes, from wild beasts running on the ground to birds flying in the air.

Even more than a dozen exceptionally large demon kings could be vaguely seen, like moving mountains!

All the demon kings had already attained immortality and enlightenment. Amoghasiddhi Buddha could sense that there were two demon kings who were comparable to Golden Immortals.

Amoghasiddhi Buddha had a premonition that the demons were brought by Yang He.

The purpose is unknown, but it is by no means simple.

Ratnasambhava Buddha took the initiative to say, "Should we send out a Buddha to suppress the demons?"

"We cannot act rashly."

Amoghasiddhi Buddha shook his head and said, "The demons pose no threat to us for the time being, and I don't believe Yang He can break the formation in such a short time." They could see that most of the demons had already lost their minds.

The Demon King barely stopped and watched from a distance as the Lion Camel Ridge was shrouded in thick fog. He then signaled the demons to attack the magic array.

Bang bang bang.

A series of impacts rang out, mixed with the sound of bones shattering.

Apart from the Demon King, the demons were all mortals. How could they withstand the magic array set up by the four Hunyuan Golden Immortals (Saha)? They were as vulnerable as tofu hitting a stone.

The sticky, foul-smelling minced meat was splashed out, but the Buddha's light was not affected at all; on the contrary, it seemed to become even more vigorous because of the nourishment from the filth.

The demons that roamed the mountains and plains showed no fear upon seeing their own kind reduced to a bloody mess; instead, they became even more excited and frenzied!
Demons and monsters scrambled to devour the corpse.

The demon that devoured the flesh and bones of its own kind swelled up, its misaligned and proliferating bones pierced its skin, its muscles became deformed and bulging, saliva flowed from its mouth, and reason was completely extinguished in its eyes.

Their cultivation is increasing, although not as much as cannibalism for spiritual practice. However, as long as it is flesh and blood, it can promote their cultivation. But the price is that they become monsters that eat raw meat and drink blood.

The demons kept falling into the trap of being like moths to a flame, only to become nourishment for their own kind.

Ratnasambhava's chest heaved, unable to conceal the tension in his heart.

He looked around, trying to find Yang He's whereabouts, since the demons' suicide attack on the magic array must have been intentional.

"Yang He..."

Ratnasambhava seemed unaware that a faint luster flashed across the surface of the prayer beads at the waist of the Buddha beside him.

Yang He transformed into demonic energy and attached it to the Buddhist beads, observing thoughtfully from the sidelines.

"I never expected that using talismans to involve demons in the story would result in a horde of demons attacking Lion Camel Ridge. Interesting. There's no need for deliberate planning."

Yang He is already a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and his every move can have a large-scale impact.

Perhaps the seclusion caused the surrounding yin energy to intensify, which could invisibly change the fate of a large number of demons and obtain tens of thousands of demon seals.

Yang He needed to select some demons to become permanent characters, so he simply used the Buddhas as a means of selection.

"If all goes well, we should be able to create more than a dozen demon kings."

Yang He is not confident in dealing with the four Saha beings. He thinks that the demon is not the Yellow-Eyebrowed King, and it would be very difficult to use his two supernatural powers. Moreover, the Buddhas have come prepared, so waiting for an opportunity to act is the best strategy.

He also realized that every demon king possesses a dojo.

The demons' dojos are conceived from the erosion of the body and soul by the aura of the Void, and are very likely caused by the dojos separated from the immortals and Buddhas and discarded in the Void.

Such training grounds are usually quite simple, but for Yang He, the number of cave heavens and immortal courts he can add is also a way to accumulate trump cards.

Even if Buddhist saints are far inferior to the Three Pure Ones, they are not people one can confront directly.

Only deep integration offers a glimmer of hope; even the backlash from merging dozens of characters into one could, at worst, allow us to reclaim the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Arena.

"Let's add fuel to the fire."

Yang He sneered and used the thirty percent of demonic energy hidden within the Arhat's corpse.

The demon's ability to conceal itself is even greater than that of the Ghost True Lord. Demonic energy is part of the body and soul, and can be controlled from thousands of miles away.

A demonic aura erupted.

The Arhat's corpse immediately showed signs of transforming into a demon, and then, driven by the demonic energy, it willingly sank into the group of demons to become nourishment.

Akshobhya Buddha's expression was stern, and he had discerned some of the underlying meaning.

Isn't Yang He raising demons?

The four Saha beings exchanged glances, still unable to understand the meaning of raising demons; no matter how they estimated it, it was impossible for them to be threatened.

While the Buddhas hesitated, Yang He seized the opportunity to spread demonic energy through the Arhat corpses.

Even the Demon King was no exception; at least half of the Arhats' corpses fell into their bellies.

Yang He, unaware of the oriole behind, took the opportunity to summon the control panel.

[Should a permanent character, the Toad Demon, be generated?]

[Should a permanent character, "Mountain Tiger Demon," be generated?]

[Should a permanent character, the Green Ox Demon, be created?]

Yang He used up three permanent character slots, and the Demon King became a permanent character. At the same time, the Demon Dojos (Jinmu Mountain, Luoyue Pool, and Qingqiu Ridge) were merged into the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dojo.

The three-headed demon king was stunned for a moment, and was already vaguely under Yang He's control, with its cultivation level rising wildly at a visible speed.

The permanent character will soon reach the same level as the true body, but Yang He did not reveal any flaws.

Boom! ! !
The Buddha light array trembled slightly.

The three-headed demon king crashed to his death on the outskirts of Lion Camel Ridge, and his bones and flesh served as nourishment for many demons who were close to becoming immortals.

Ratnasambhava Buddha vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he was powerless to influence Amoghasiddhi Buddha.

The speed at which hordes of demons were dying was also accelerating.

In a short while, only fifteen of the densely packed demons remained, all of them demon kings who had survived by raising Gu poison to the end, each exceeding one hundred meters in size.

The power of the Buddha Light Formation also increased by more than 100%.

The Demon King barely reached the level of a True Immortal, and in the eyes of the Buddhas, he was not even as good as an Arhat.

Four Saha beings sat on the outskirts of Lion Camel Ridge, facing the southeast, northwest, and southwest, bathed in Buddhist light. Buildings turned to ashes as they searched for Yang He's whereabouts.

As expected, the Buddhist beads attached to Yang He will be exposed sooner or later.

"hey-hey."

[Should a permanent character, the Corpse Wolf Demon, be generated?]

[Should a permanent character, the Centipede Demon, be generated?]

[Should I generate a permanent character, the Golden Serpent Demon?]

[Should I generate a permanent character, <Red Feather Demon>?]

.........

The fifteen demon kings' cultivation levels increased.

"not good!!!"

Ratnasambhava's expression changed drastically. He immediately gathered his Buddha light, and eighteen long arms, like spider limbs, extended outwards, which was his Dharma form.

Yang He glanced at the Buddhas, then gestured for the demon kings to transform and crash into the magic array.

The demon kings were scattered and their divine senses were roughly controlled, making it difficult to control them as they pleased. However, they still had no problem unleashing their demonic energy in a concentrated burst.

Boom! ! !
The magic circle collapsed instantly.

The four Saha beings coughed up blood and were sent flying backwards. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fared even worse, with countless heads exploding.

"Walk!!!"

Before they could escape, the demonic aura had already wiped out all life.

The area around Lion Camel Ridge was littered with corpses.

Yang He rummaged through the corpse for a while, then took out a purple-gold bowl containing spatial energy, and directly took the corpse along with the patrolling demon.

After finishing, he came to the only remaining banyan tree on the outskirts of Lion Camel Ridge. The tree hole at the root was deep and boundless, and it was here that he went deep into Lion Camel Ridge.

[Consume 1000 points of Insight to select a character for deep fusion?]

The moment Yang He threw himself into the tree hole, he summoned the control panel but did not rush to confirm.
