Chapter 366 Tang Sanzang: This time, I won! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)
Rumbling--

A thunderous roar erupted, and a streak of fire descended from the horizon, crashing down upon the towering structure of the Little Thunderclap Temple. The powerful impact spread in all directions, causing the magnificent ancient temple, built by Huang Mei at great expense, to crumble in the blink of an eye.

Before long, the seemingly endless wind and snow from Little Western Paradise swept in, instantly dispersing the smoke and dust, revealing the chaotic ruins inside, and the two figures, one kneeling and one lying down.

"call--"

Erlang Shen took a heavy breath and struggled to his feet. As he did so, he pulled the three-pointed double-edged sword from the chest of the lifeless Thunder God, spraying out a large amount of crimson-gold blood in the process.

Clearly, in the end, Yang Jian, the God of War of Heaven, emerged victorious in the battle between the two three-eyed beings.

However, Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun is ultimately the highest god of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court. His strength and supernatural powers are extraordinary. Even someone as strong as Yang Jian would have to go all out to defeat him. And if he wanted to kill him, he would naturally have to pay a huge price.

Feeling his almost depleted magical power and the stinging, tingling pain from his wounds, Yang Jian sighed helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, he looked up at the sky, and his third eye between his eyebrows opened slightly. Flames and blood light could be vaguely seen surging in the void, and his expression changed.

"Nezha is doing alright. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun seems to be holding back and hasn't gone all out. He can barely hold on with his lotus root body. But compared to Doumu Yuanjun, the Bull Demon King is ultimately lacking in resources. If this continues, his life may be in danger."

With that thought in mind, Yang Jian took a deep breath and began frantically gathering the spiritual energy of the surrounding world in an attempt to recover some of his magical power. But just then, a legion of heavenly soldiers who were fighting against the demon army suddenly discovered him.

"kill!!"

Seemingly sensing that Yang Jian was not in a good state, the leading celestial general sent a small squad of celestial soldiers to attack, his voice filled with a frenzied, fearless madness.

"Humph!"

Yang Jian's expression darkened. When the group of heavenly soldiers approached, he raised his three-pointed double-edged sword and spun it in mid-air. Hundreds of empty helmets rolled to the ground, and many heavenly soldiers and generals crumbled into dust amidst screams and wails.

However, Yang Jian's presence was too strong, especially after they discovered that he was in a weak state. More and more heavenly soldiers and officials came to take the head of this traitor so that they could return to the Heavenly Court to claim credit.

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

The barking of dogs rang out, and the black celestial hound flew down from the sky. With a single breath, it swallowed over a hundred celestial soldiers, then leaped to Yang Jian's side to protect its master.

"Haha! I never thought that the mighty God of War of the Heavenly Court would be in such a sorry state. It is truly the heavens' help that I deserve to make such a great contribution!"

Amidst a burst of laughter, a beam of black light descended from the sky, revealing a handsome young man in a black robe, holding a strange weapon that resembled a sword but wasn't quite one, striding towards Yang Jian.

This person is An Yao Luo Hou, one of the Nine Luminaries. Although he is not ranked high among the Nine Luminaries, he is extremely ruthless in both strength and temperament. He is a rare deity in the Heavenly Court who is known for his evil.

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, preparing to draw upon his newly recovered magical power to fight against it.

Just then, the body of the Dark Rahu suddenly trembled, the expression on its face froze, and then it slowly disappeared, standing there as if it had lost its soul.

The next second, to Yang Jian's bewildered gaze, his entire body shattered and collapsed like sand, turning into dust. Only a wisp of spiritual light shot into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the heavenly soldiers and generals who were constantly attacking from all sides were in a similar situation. In that instant, they all lost their souls, leaving only empty armor, and fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"How is this going?"

Yang Jian muttered to himself, then, as if remembering something, looked up at the sky again in surprise, recalling the shout he had heard not long ago. "That monkey... has it succeeded?"

……

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

Tang Sanzang stood on the ruins of Black Mountain, which had been mostly sheared away, his hands hanging limply at his sides. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth onto the ground, where it sprouted into beautiful red spider lilies, exuding an eerie beauty.

On his opposite side, the three thousand Buddhas were also severely injured or killed, their golden bodies shattered, their Buddha light dimmed, and they looked as if they could pass away at any moment.

The vast majority of them were smashed to pieces by his own fists, while a small portion was the work of Buddha.

That's right, it's not just Maitreya, there are other traitors in Buddhism as well.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Lingji Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha... Nearly one-third of the powerful Buddhist figures defected during the battle just now, attacking their Buddhas.

Among these people, some, like Tang Sanzang, had long been aware of the problems within Buddhism and were unwilling to continue to sink into depravity. Therefore, they secretly contacted Tang Sanzang, hoping to deliver a severe blow to Tathagata at a crucial moment.

Another group resembles Huang Mei, who is greedy and wants to replace Buddha to obtain more incense offerings and spiritual resources. That's why they took this opportunity to help Tang Sanzang.

However, regardless of their motives, they ultimately failed.

It was only because the Tathagata had already seen through their thoughts and prepared countermeasures that he easily suppressed these backstabbing Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, while absorbing their spiritual energy to strengthen himself, and then using it to deal with Tang Sanzang, the reincarnation of his former second disciple.

"Amitabha……"

The golden Buddha, an incarnation of the Tathagata, sat cross-legged in the void, exuding boundless domineering power and supreme strength, his face revealing both suffering and boundless compassion.

The World Honored One stretched across the void, boundless and limitless. At this moment, there was nothing else in the world but him, the only one.

He looked down at the figure that was clearly on its last legs but refused to fall, and said calmly, "Tang Sanzang, you have lost again this time."

"Lose? Heh..."

Tang Sanzang let out a low laugh, his bloodshot eyes looking at Tathagata, his vision already beginning to blur, but his voice carried a mocking tone.

"Buddha, you are wrong."

"This time... I won!"

Upon hearing this, the golden Buddha suddenly opened its eyes, as if it had sensed something. Its gaze passed through the Great Thunderclap Temple and reached the Thirty-Third Heaven, where it saw Wu Xian striking the Taiji Diagram with his staff.

The pure white light tore through his vision and bombarded his mind and consciousness through his divine sense.

With a snap, the golden paint peeled off the Buddha's body, and a crack extended down from between the Buddha's eyebrows, shattering the Buddha's suffering face.

Moreover, as the gold paint peeled off, half of Buddha's face began to distort, with some bluish fleshy bumps and jagged scales growing out, making it look like it wasn't a human face at all.
