Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 228 Immovable King, Wrathful Vajra (Two Chapters Combined)

The war came extremely suddenly
When this nine-tailed celestial fox, who was still in seclusion and whose strength had only recovered by half, discovered...

When the sudden aura that appeared within a hundred miles of his Demon King's palace made the situation irreversible.

Even among the few extraordinary demons who survived the Demon Extermination Campaign of the Demon Kingdom five hundred years ago.

Another extraordinary third-rank demon was crushed into bone fragments and blood foam the instant this vast aura was revealed to the world.

But in the next instant, a large patch of flowing scarlet blood plasma seemed to possess sentience, burning with a sky full of blood energy, and instantly disappearing hundreds of miles away.

Rumble!
The river of blood roared forth and, in a very short time, coalesced into the form of a great demon.

"Bald monk, how dare you invade the borders of my Demon Kingdom!"

His voice was full of energy, but his breathing was declining, much weaker than usual.

Although the cultivation methods of the demon race are very similar to those of martial artists, they also possess extremely powerful bodies.

However, it is still somewhat inferior to the truly indestructible body of a third-rank martial artist.

After all, their cultivation is about uncovering the innate supernatural abilities hidden deep within their bloodline.

While innate supernatural abilities can certainly allow them to progress rapidly, they don't have to go through as many disasters as martial artists.

However, almost no demon race member has been able to break free from the constraints of their bloodline and comprehend something of their own.

Martial artists, on the other hand, have personally tempered almost every inch of their flesh and bone throughout their cultivation journey.

Furthermore... at the fourth rank, they need to comprehend their own "intention"!
One is constantly digging into the framework of their ancestors' bloodline, while the other is constantly writing on a blank sheet of paper.

It's hard to say who is superior or inferior, but a martial artist who can cultivate to this level will generally have a stronger combat power than a demon of the same level due to their understanding of various concepts.

At the same time, it was here that the distinction between the martial arts system and the demon race system was formally established!

The great demon of the third rank of the extraordinary realm before them, although it also displayed extremely vigorous vitality, was clearly weaker than a martial artist of the same realm.

"The remnants of the Demon Kingdom... I need your help in my cultivation!"

Rumble!
At the source of the thunderous roar, the golden hand that covered the sky suddenly vanished, transforming into a supreme being draped in a dark gold kasaya, with seven layers of Buddhist wheels floating behind his head and his feet resting on a blazing nine-tiered red lotus!
“Garuda tree…”

Upon seeing this person, even the great demon's voice trembled slightly.

The Bodhisattva of the Horned Tree slowly opened his eyes, which had been as dull as withered wood, and the chains of cause and effect that wrapped around his body began to light up.
"Very good... You still remember me. Are you willing to join my Buddhist sect? I will guide you to become a guardian beast of the mountain!"

Most bodhisattvas in Buddhist sects are compassionate, and even when they want to eliminate their enemies, their methods are not too ruthless.

As the second most ruthless killer in Buddhism, the Bodhisattva Kogala's fearsome reputation is truly terrifying.

Five hundred years ago, during the Jiazi Demon Extermination Campaign, the corpses of the demons he annihilated were piled up and could form a mountain range!
He is ranked only below Asura Arhat, who sleeps all day, inherits part of the bloodline of the Asura King, and is the king of the Asura tribe of Buddhism.

"You killed my father and left his body exposed for a hundred years. Now you want to humiliate me? Don't even think about it!"

This great demon roared to the sky, its roar shaking the universe.

The sorrow contained within is almost suffocatingly heavy.

The Bodhisattva Garouso closed her eyes again, without even looking directly at him, and simply murmured softly,

"Oh...you're that old ox's son? He resisted so fiercely, just to send you away, didn't he? I never expected to run into him again today..."

"Since you are so stubborn, then let me reunite you and your son!"

In fact, after demons join the Buddhist sect, they can not only transform themselves but also gain a deep-rooted foundation.

They can even cosplay as powerful demons who aid and abet evil, repeatedly wreaking havoc in areas where faith is weak.

They only pretended to be defeated after some steadfast believers chanted scriptures daily and summoned the Vajra.

This deepens believers' faith in Buddhism and helps Buddhism control its followers.

In this process, even if they accidentally devour tens of thousands of casual believers, no one will hold them accountable.

To paraphrase a certain Bodhisattva: Without the contrast of suffering, how could ignorant people know the preciousness of Mount Ling?

Of course, this move also led some monks who had seen through everything to go deep into the mountains and become ascetic monks who traveled between heaven and earth.

My entire life has been dedicated to self-cultivation and self-salvation...

The moment the Bodhisattva Gara Tree uttered those words, a similarly vast aura slowly rose from the other side of the palace of the Myriad Demon Clan Kingdom, a hundred miles away.

Between the two of them, the towering Arhat Du'e, with a vertical eye resembling a sash between his brows, arrived accompanied by several Vajra.

Clearly, in order to destroy the Demon Kingdom, the force we have mobilized this time exceeds more than half of their powerful warriors!
They came with the determination to annihilate the Demon Kingdom!
"You... you!"

The great demon laughed in anger, and three more auras rose from the ground.

Each aura represents a demon race extraordinary individual who survived the Jiazi Demon Extermination Tribulation but, due to various trivial matters, failed to gather on Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and participate in the grand gathering to join Buddhism, thus miraculously escaping extermination!
"I never imagined that in that battle back then, even though I was exhausted, I still managed to miss you beasts!"

The Bodhisattva of the Gara Tree has a solemn and dignified appearance, but the dark golden vajra he holds in his hand has already turned blood red.

Like an endless sunset, it painted almost the entire sky crimson.

It was so eerie that it drove people crazy.

Sensing the presence of these four powerful demons, each comparable to a third-rank martial artist, the Gara Tree Bodhisattva didn't even raise her eyes. She simply gazed indifferently into the depths of the palace and said calmly,

"You wicked creature who has colluded with the Goddess of Ten Thousand Demons! Now that things have come to this, why don't you show yourself?"

Compared to this one and only nine-tailed celestial fox remaining in the world, these four extraordinary demons are merely extras.

After all... his mother was a top-tier first-grade nine-tailed celestial fox, and his father was a half-step Martial God!
She... truly has the potential to reach the top tier!
The Buddhist community cannot allow her to live in the world.

Rumble!
The moment the sound faded, the magnificent palace collapsed with a deafening roar, its nine enormous, furry tails rising like pillars supporting the sky and earth.

At the end of the nine tails were two long, slender legs that resembled giant white pythons.

The owner of the thigh wore a pure white fox fur coat around his waist. The moment his face was revealed to the world, countless Buddhist soldiers who had reached the highest ranks were instantly stirred up.

This only remaining nine-tailed celestial fox in the world, in those instants without ever using the slightest bit of its power.

With her unparalleled beauty and the alluring power bestowed upon her by heaven, she had already stirred up an entire Buddhist army.

Moreover, those who were bewitched by him were not only novice monks and martial monks of low cultivation level, but even mid-to-high-level dharma masters and Zen masters were shaken in that instant.

"You old bald monk... it seems you're really courting death!"

The owner of the voice was extremely lazy, seemingly not taking the menacing Buddhist army seriously at all.

However, despite her outward appearance, she had already cursed Leon Lai countless times in her heart.

After all, since joining the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, Li Ming has spent most of his time within a hundred miles of its core. Only in the last few months, in order to handle the many affairs of the Great Xia Kingdom that Li Ming established, has he left this place and gone to the land bordering the Great Feng and the Buddhist sect.

But it was precisely at this moment that the group of bald monks from the Buddhist sect arrived at the gate.

The time frame was so short that even the Demon Kingdom had not yet relocated the human race from other spheres of influence.

Furthermore, before the conflict between Dawn and Buddhism could escalate, or even before the news of Dawn becoming the ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom could be spread...

The timing of this group of bald monks showing up is just too coincidental!

The coincidences were so numerous that they gave her a real headache.

The kind and benevolent expression on the face of the Gara tree finally transformed into a wrathful, Vajra-like gaze.

"Since you're unwilling to commit suicide, it seems I'll have to do it myself!"

Rumble!
The sound was like a divine mountain, and the moment it fell into the void, two golden arms, as tall as divine mountains supporting the sky, slowly emerged from the depths of the slowly cracking earth.

Bo! Ruo! Ba! Ma! Hong...

Amidst the resounding chants of Buddhist hymns, a statue of Acala, standing nine thousand nine hundred feet tall with seven layers of Buddhist wheels floating behind him, slowly climbed out...

"Come!"

The stunningly beautiful enchantress, draped in a white fox fur, also roared angrily.

Rumble!
In an instant, the sky shook and the earth trembled; the sky collapsed and the earth caved in...

This colossal city, which took hundreds of years to restore to its former glory as one-hundredth of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, eventually sank and crumbled under the battle of two First-Rank Venerables.

"kill!"

On the earth, countless monks clashed with the demon race.

The Arhat who had been saved from peril faced two powerful demons of the third rank alone.

On the battlefield, almost everyone can find their opponent, but the white-clad, handsome Bodhisattva of Lapis Lazuli always hovers quietly at the end of the sky.

His face showed compassion and reluctance, yet he calmly looked at everything happening on the earth.

As the fastest speed in the world, under certain conditions, even the highest grade may not be able to capture it.

He... was the last trump card of Buddhism in this battle.

When they strike, it's with overwhelming force; seizing the crucial moment of this battle, they are determined to completely shape the course of the conflict...

……

In a palace tens of thousands of miles away, Li Ming sat on a blue stone cushion, his thoughts drifting to the Myriad Paths Diagram of the Heavens.

"Burn your Dao power... to refine this scroll of the Witch Clan's technique for me..."

The southern border region also borders the sphere of influence of the Wu tribe.

With the help of spies from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, he easily obtained some basic techniques from the Witch Clan.

Even before this, he had already refined and practiced some of the techniques of the Gu clan.

The more he cultivated himself, the more he used the Diagram of Myriad Paths of the Heavens to deduce the truth.

The more they discovered, the more they realized that, in the end, there were only two systems in this world: the martial arts system and the Heavenly Dao system outside of the martial arts system.

Of course, some systems also share characteristics with martial arts practitioners.

But as dawn peels back the layers, it also reveals the differences between them and the true martial arts system!

Generally, the Dao that is similar to the martial arts system is mostly the superior source of that system. In order to break through, it is an attempt to refer to the Five Martial Arts System.

But in the end, the deduction proved powerless to make up for it.

For example, the martial monk system within Buddhism...

Although he can be said to be equivalent to a martial artist of the same level, he is more like a supplement to the Zen meditation system than a complete path.

With the addition of seemingly endless resources, Dawn's understanding of the various systems in this generation has also undergone a qualitative breakthrough.

It's not just about pushing one's martial arts realm to the peak of the third rank.

Similarly, the realm of its Heavenly Dao system was also pushed to the third grade level!
Moreover... the Heavenly Dao system he deduced is very different from the martial arts system he cultivated. It is derived from all the Daoist systems in the world, yet it is different from them!
Wow!
As his cultivation level increased, another wisp of the bloodline of the Ancient Sacred Body merged into his body in this life.

A multitude of emotions welled up within him as he slowly raised his eyes.
"I'm about to enter the second rank..."

Suddenly, he stood up straight, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, looking towards the depths of the southern border.
"It's the aura of those monks... It seems... she's in trouble. No wonder her cultivation level is a level higher than I knew..."

With that abruptly appearing aura, Dawn, relying on her powerful willpower, deduced everything in an instant.

At this time, the ruler of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, that nine-tailed celestial fox, was indeed at the first-grade realm.

However, during this sudden attack by the Buddhist sect, he used some kind of escape method, sacrificing his cultivation level to escape.

This is why, decades later, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's cultivation level was still only second rank, instead of the first rank it is now.

Everything... then makes sense.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Li Ming's mind, and the heavy door abruptly opened.

boom!
The aloof young woman, who was about to push open the door, stumbled in, her eyes filled with worry and anger.

"Your Majesty, my Demon King's Palace is currently besieged by the Buddhist forces. I implore Your Majesty to come to our aid..."

"I know everything you've said. Don't worry! I won't abandon my allies."

Before Ye Ji could finish speaking, Dawn had already made her decision.

Although the benefits bestowed upon him by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons contained many hidden dangers.

However, this does not diminish the sincerity of the Demon Kingdom towards Dawn, nor the assistance it has provided to Dawn.

If he were to collect all those cultivation manuals by himself, it would likely be quite difficult.

However, with the help of the Demon Kingdom, he hardly had to lift a finger to solve most of the problems.

Li Ming has always been one to repay kindness and avenge wrongs.

Especially now, the battlefield is filled with people who have been kind to him and those who have wronged him.

"Coincidentally... I also find those domineering bald monks a bit displeasing to the eye!"
