All heavens, let's begin with the Divine Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power!

Chapter 145 A world that eats people, demons wreak havoc on the land!

"Miss Duan, Miss Duan is Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Chen Xuanzang seemed to be both crying and laughing, banging his head on the ground. He didn't care at all that the three hundred children's songs he had been flipping through were now forming mysterious scriptures.

"Foolish child, you still won't wake up."

Guanyin Bodhisattva's hands are clasped together, radiating a serene Buddhist light, yet there is a hint of eeriness about it.

"Miss Duan." Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu were also surprised. They had participated in the water demon's mischief, subdued the fish demon, and even joined forces to subdue the pig demon. They had a good relationship with Miss Duan and never imagined that she was actually a Buddhist master.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is a renowned and powerful being in the main world, and her story has been told in mythology for a long time.

“In Buddhism, there are manifestation bodies, incarnation bodies, and reward bodies, so perhaps this is an incarnation of one from all the heavens and myriad realms,” they speculated.

"To save the world, we need Sun Wukong to repent. He will travel to the Western Paradise with Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Chen Xuanzang to obtain the true scriptures and make up for the shortcomings in people's hearts."

“This benefactor, you have ruined my Buddha’s grand plan.” Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped her hands together, appearing even more holy, and then changed the subject, “However, benefactor, you are quite wise and could replace Sun Wukong to go to the Western Paradise and obtain the true scriptures.”

"Me, Sun Wukong?"

Yang An sneered, activating his Eye of the Brow, and immediately noticed something was wrong with the Guanyin Bodhisattva.

boom!
"You audacious demon, how dare you feign ignorance before me!"

He suddenly struck out with his palm, his large, white hand, as white as divine jade, radiating holy light and surrounded by sacred chants. Like a devastating force, Guanyin Bodhisattva shattered instantly, replaced by a monster with a thousand arms and a thousand heads, nine heads, each with a different expression—joy, sorrow, or anger—blood tears streaming from its eyes, a bloody and mangled mess.

Everything before was a disguise.

"The Bodhisattva has turned into a demon?!" Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu shuddered, a chill suddenly running down their spines.

Xuanzang stopped crying and looked at the strange and disgusting monster in the sky, his heart trembling.

Is this Miss Duan?!

The Empty Prince coughed up blood, struggled to get up, and seemed to suddenly realize something. He kept repeating, "Yes, five thousand years ago, Xuanzang returned from his pilgrimage to the West and said that there was no Buddha on Mount Ling. He then passed away. After that, the Heavenly Court collapsed, demons wreaked havoc on the earth, all living beings became demons, and humans struggled in pain. The people of all countries suffered unspeakably!"

"I remember now, five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong, the king of demon kings, fought against the Buddha and was struck down from Mount Ling by a single palm and imprisoned here!"

"How did we get here?" Tian Canjiao and the King of Beasts were also awakened, their memories confused. They were elite human demon hunters and should not have been in this desolate wilderness investigating this so-called King of Demons.

Who dares to let Sun Wukong out?

Something's wrong with this world!
Five thousand years ago, Journey to the West ended. According to real-world history, the Demon Lord attacked the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court collapsed, demons wreaked havoc on the earth, and all living beings became demons!

Five hundred years ago, another demon king, Sun Wukong, appeared. His journey to the Western Paradise was not to obtain scriptures, but to reenact the dark myth!

The nations were not destroyed, not because the demons were merciful. They fed humans, kept them in a mild environment, and thought that as before, they tasted even better.

The closer one gets to the sacred mountain, the more demons and monsters appear. Lion Camel Ridge has slaughtered countless people, using flesh and blood as a chopping board, yet it bears a resemblance to a Buddhist Pure Land.

The shocking truth shattered Chen Xuanzang's psychological defenses, and he knelt on the ground, wailing loudly.

"Darkness will end, and light will come!" But Yang An remained calm, his voice loud and clear, his divine words resounding in everyone's ears, "The Lord's judgment is omnipresent; the fallen evil will surely face final judgment... True redemption will arrive!"

His Lord's Eye opened, and a dazzling, pure light, the most mysterious in the universe, carrying the will of the supreme Lord above all gods, shot out.

This ray of light, carrying irresistible divine power, seemed to be a judgment that pierced through the past, present, and future, a judgment from the gods, and in an instant, it pierced through this evil bodhisattva.

"what!"

This demonic bodhisattva, possessing the power of a Dharma body, burst into flames, ignited by the celestial fire, becoming a torch, its shrill screams echoing across the sky.

In no time, it turned to ashes and disappeared completely from the world.

"What exactly is going on?"

Chen Xuanzang was distressed and confused. Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu quickly went to Yang An's side. In this situation, only Yang An could give them a sense of security.

“It’s very simple. You’ve always been raised by your master.” Yang An said calmly. Whether the real Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is like this is unknown, but this world is clearly different.

“There are countless fragments of cosmic light in the real world, and what I see before me is the history of the demons wreaking havoc on the land.” Jiang Zhiwei said softly. The ancient dark myths were being reenacted. No wonder she had felt strange ever since she came to this world.

The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's mission—to survive for seven days—is a massive trap.

At first, there was no problem, but later, with the birth of the Demon King Sun Wukong, even if they uncovered the truth sooner, it might still be extremely dangerous. There might already be powerful demons lurking around the surrounding villages.

“They haven’t even seen the Human Emperor born yet,” Ruan Yushu whispered, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and relief as she looked at Yang An. “But it seems they have finally found the Human Emperor Sword Master.”

Perhaps this is also the good fortune of this world.

The fragments of the universe share similar histories, continuing events from the real world. The name "Demon Buddha" is terrifying.

Can the 'Human Emperor' of this world really change the status quo? Not necessarily!
"Thank you for your help, senior." The three, Void Prince, Heavenly Crippled Foot, and Beast King, expressed their gratitude. Yang An waved his hand, and their injuries were fully healed.

He then picked up the booklet, "Three Hundred Children's Songs," which, when rearranged, resembled the Tathagata's Palm. However, upon closer inspection, it was actually "The Tathagata's Reversed Palm," confirming it was left behind by the Demon Buddha. But why was Chen Xuanzang being kept?
Based on the memories of Sun Wukong, the King of Demon Kings, the Dark Flesh and Blood Bodhisattva, and the history of the real world, Yang An deduced some of the truth.

Jin Chanzi was one of the many backup plans left by the Buddha, so it is not surprising that the demon Buddha Ananda would make some underhanded moves.

If the 'Dark Journey to the West' is used to lure Chen Xuanzang into the demonic path and have him practice the Tathagata Palm in reverse, it will bring countless benefits to Chen Xuanzang in breaking free from the seal. It could even go further and be used to scheme against the two saints of Buddhism.

This change was not caused by Yang An's arrival in this realm, but rather something that could have happened in any of the heavens in the previous life.

"Nothing to say, kill!"

Yang An swept his divine sense across the area, and a fish demon and a pig spirit howled in agony as they turned into blood mist in mid-air.

Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie are just names; they are not their actual forms. In fact, the real Zhu Bajie is already dead!
The history of the real world is bloody and cruel.

Those who lacked the strength perished long ago due to the machinations of fate.

The fact that these two demons can form a Journey to the West team with Sun Wukong, the king of demon kings, in this world has nothing to do with strength; it's just that these two demons are the most powerful within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

"The sky darkens and the earth is engulfed in demonic aura; I will restore order to the world!"

The Emperor Sword in Yang An's hand hummed softly, and its light soared into the sky. Countless demons hidden among the crowd and in the wild died instantly, and the common people around him screamed in terror.

But Yang An waved his hand and showered down holy light. The faint light descended from the sky, and wherever it passed, the wounded were healed and their hearts were soothed. Even the elderly who were nearing the end of their lives had their white hair turn black.

"May the immortals bestow blessings! May the immortals bestow blessings!"

Countless people spontaneously bowed to the sky, overjoyed.

They were lucky; this place was targeted by the Demon Buddha, so not many demons were causing trouble, maintaining a semblance of stability.

In far beyond, there are countless kingdoms, almost all of which have been occupied by demons. Some have even given up on maintaining a semblance of peace, treating humans like pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.

In the real world, the same history of demons wreaking havoc on the land unfolds.

That is why the Emperor was so angry and his will was unbreakable, because he had seen the same scene before.

"They deserve to die!" Yang An's expression was icy, and a surge of anger rose within him.

He never hides his likes and dislikes, and acts as he pleases. Now that he is angry, he will let the fire in his heart be extinguished.

Kill, kill, kill until you create a bright and clear world, kill until he is satisfied, kill until he is happy!
Yang An grabbed everyone, tore through the void, and appeared in the court of Emperor Taizong of Tang, a prosperous dynasty.

The Empty Void Prince came from there and was a famous sword cultivator of the time.

Tiancanjiao and Baishouwang came from a more remote human country. Under the twilight of the Tang Dynasty, they were protected and survived. They were among the few who knew the truth but struggled to resist the demonic calamity.

Whether they truly had the strength to resist or the demon race was intentionally condoning it remains unknown.

Perhaps the truth is cruel.

At least in this realm, when Yang An arrived, he did not sense the existence of the human avatar at all.

The so-called celestial beings and gods, and the ten thousand Buddhas of Mount Ling, are all man-eating demons.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" Countless experts were present in the imperial court.

"An immortal from beyond the realm has descended; we must not offend him!" Li Shimin waved his hand, dismissing them, and looked at Yang An and his group with burning eyes.

In this realm, Li Shimin is a martial arts master at the peak of the Outer Realm, and with the blessing of the power of all living beings, his strength is comparable to that of a half-step Dharma Body. The last reserves of the human race are almost all in the Tang Dynasty.

If we're talking about who the 'Emperor of Humanity' is in this world, then it can only be him!
"I've seen this immortal!" Li Shimin's eyes gleamed, revealing the information, "I've already seen everything outside of Five Finger Mountain, what else can I do!"

In Journey to the West, he was taken to the underworld and frightened. If this were in the real world, it would probably be very cruel, and he might be replaced by some demon sitting on the throne and eating people.

"Cooperate with me, launch a large-scale army, and reclaim the lost territory. That will be enough!"

With a flick of his finger, Yang An gifted the other party numerous martial arts classics and secret formations. At the same time, he vanished with Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu.

"Senior! Senior!" Chen Xuanzang seemed to have been in a dream before he came back to his senses. His face was full of excitement. "Please take me with you and let's slay the demons together! I don't want to convert them anymore. I'll tell them three hundred nursery rhymes. I want to kill them. I want to kill them all."

"allow!"

A streak of light fell from the sky and landed on Chen Xuanzang's forehead. The Buddha's reversed palm was reversed again by Yang An, who then imparted the true path to him.

"From this day forward, I will bury Tang Sanzang!" Xuanzang clasped his hands together, his eyes revealing endless killing intent, as he buried the countless evil gods and demons.

"It is good that you have such a heart!" Li Shimin grasped his hand, exuding a dignified aura. "You have inherited the legacy of your predecessors and are a person of destiny. Let us work together to restore order to the world!"

Li Shimin immediately recognized Tang Sanzang as his sworn brother.

Meanwhile, the Empty Prince, the Crippled Leg, and the King of Beasts were also granted various positions, and the entire Tang Dynasty machine immediately sprang into action.
