In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

The peacock obtains the five elements, condenses the five elements into feathers, and transforms them into five-colored divine light.

The Great Roc tried to refine Yin and Yang, but failed to grasp the proper method. He simply fused the two energies into the Acquired Bottle, which became useless.

Therefore, these innate Yin and Yang energies are considered invaluable treasures for the Taiqing lineage.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan obtained the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle through such means; it was also his oversight.

However, this was not the most solemn thing for Tathagata. With his wise eyes, he looked into the depths of Lion Camel Ridge, where the Nine Nether Profound Yin Qi, like the Buzhou Abyss, lay dormant and ready to devour all the gods and Buddhas at any moment.

The Great Heavenly Profound Yin Formation!

Chi You set up this formation back then, almost defeating the Yellow Emperor. I never expected to see this great formation again today.

The reason for this was that Tathagata knew that Chonglou had seized upon the weaknesses of Lion Camel Ridge, using the resentment of countless humans as a trigger to set up this formation and deliver a devastating blow to the Buddhist sect.

"Namo Amitabha!"

When Tathagata looked towards Lion Camel Ridge, his fear was palpable.

While the two Venerable Ones Manjushri and Samantabhadra were puzzled, they also knew that the appearance of the Garuda meant that a battle between gods and demons was imminent.

"Your Excellency has truly mastered the art of recreating the Heavenly Profound Yin Formation from the ancient war between gods and demons!"

Xuan Yin Grand Formation?

Upon hearing this, all the gods and Buddhas showed expressions of shock, looking at Lion Camel Ridge in disbelief.

At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc swooped down and, with incredible speed, grabbed two Vajra warriors and threw them into Lion Camel Ridge.

In an instant, two streams of malevolent energy, like demonic claws from hell, devoured the two Vajra Arhats. This bizarre and domineering method caused even the gods and demons of the heavens to change color, looking incredulously into the depths of Lion Camel Ridge.

Those bizarre and terrifying methods of using malevolent energy were definitely not something the demons of Lion Camel Ridge could have set up.

All calamities have their causes and effects.

"I have set up the Nine Nether Profound Yin Array here, not for any other reason than to seek justice for the human race!"

A deep and domineering voice resounded throughout the three realms. No one saw the person emerge, but an overwhelming force had already permeated the nine heavens.

This domineering aura is something that even gods and demons of the three realms fear.

"Array up!"

Like a clarion call to war between gods and demons, the Dutian Xuanyin Grand Formation was activated, and the entire Lion Camel Ridge was instantly enveloped by a dense aura of malevolent energy.

"Big brother, second brother, do not resist, accept the infusion of the Nine Nether Profound Yin Qi."

The voice of the Golden-Winged Roc rang in the ears of the Green Lion and the White Elephant. Although they did not understand what was happening, at this moment, twelve terrifying forces of heaven and earth rose up from below within Lion Camel Ridge, two of which were heading straight for them.

The Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a beam of golden light and directly pierced into one of the pillars of malevolent energy.

Seeing this, the Green Lion and White Elephant understood that the Nine Nether Profound Yin Qi was harmful to Buddhism but beneficial to them. They then stopped resisting the Nine Nether Profound Yin Qi and allowed the two streams of Profound Yin Qi to merge into their bodies and fill their demon bodies.

In an instant, the three demons felt a continuous stream of Nine Netherworld Yin Qi surging into their bodies.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Golden-Winged Roc activated the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique to strengthen its foundation. At the same time, its profound skills broke through the first, second, and third revolutions... until it stopped at the peak of the fifth revolution. However, the Xuan Yin evil energy continued to be output.

Soon after, his aura surged and his demonic energy became overwhelming, allowing him to directly break through to the sixth level of the profound skill.

In contrast, the aura of the Green Lion and the White Elephant, which had already reached the level of top-tier demon kings, suddenly surged again.

The blue-faced lion, with its original red hair, now had two lion heads growing on either side that were exactly the same as the one in the center. The three lion heads roared to the sky, far exceeding its previous imposing presence.

The old elephant with yellow tusks, whose tusks had grown so much, suddenly had its skin turn keratinized, transforming into a bony armor-like body.

Moreover, its four hooves tread the sky, shaking the heavens and earth, possessing the power to destroy the world.

Such a tremendous change caused the 48,000 demons around them to sense the allure of the Nine Netherworld Profound Yin Qi, and they frantically surged toward the other nine Profound Yin Pillars.

This also caused inexplicable horror and fear among all Buddhists.

......... ... .......

The sudden surge in the aura of the three demons was no accident, but rather the result of the activation of the Nine Nether Profound Yin Qi.

Especially Buddha, watching the demons fighting each other, once the final nine demons are decided, they will at least be top-tier demons.

But should we just rush in and overwhelm the opponent?

Under the Xuan Yin Grand Formation, there are only two possible outcomes for the Buddhist experts who go up there: either they will be killed, or they will be corrupted by the Xuan Yin evil energy and fall into the demonic path.

This seemingly unsolvable situation even made Buddha look wary.

"Buddha, if this continues, I fear the demons will become too powerful to control!"

Do you even need to say that?

Tathagata glanced at Manjushri Bodhisattva, and he also wanted to suppress him with all his might.

However, Lion Camel Ridge is different from other places. It is filled with skeletons and bones. Otherwise, why would Chonglou set up the Xuan Yin Grand Array? It is to use the resentment and evil energy gathered here to draw in the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds.

Moreover, although these demons appear to have greatly increased their strength, they are actually subject to the backlash of evil energy. After death, they will all be transformed into nourishment for the Xuan Yin Grand Array, demonstrating their ruthless methods.

"Namo Amitabha!

Although this formation was broken back then, it required the Kui Niu to beat the drum to break the formation with sound.

Now, the Kui Niu has vanished from the Three Realms, and demons, having absorbed the energy of the Nine Netherworlds, have mutated and greatly increased in strength, posing a significant threat in the future.

"Kui Niu Drum?"

Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Kui Niu is an ancient mythical beast, and its tracks are difficult to tame. It has not appeared in the Three Realms for many years.

Most importantly, to find a weakness, one would need to forge the Kui Niu Drum, as killing is a major taboo in Buddhism.

Chapter 159 Demons Run Rampant, Tathagata's Palm

"The Kui Niu Drum most likely fell into the hands of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden back then."

Manjushri and Samantabhadra attained enlightenment in ancient times and knew some ancient secrets.

When the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, besides Hanba, Yinglong, Yubo, and Fengshi, the greatest contributor was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, who also brought the method to break the Xuan Yin Great Array.

The Buddhas of the heavens once again showed disappointment, for they knew clearly who their opponent was this time.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is the head of the female immortals under the Queen Mother of the West, a Great Luo Venerable, so she naturally knows all the causes and consequences, how could she help them?

"Bajie, go to Kunlun Mountain."

“Buddha, it’s not that I, Old Pig, want to be lazy, but the entrance to the Jade Pool in Kunlun Mountain is where the temple is located. Even if I, Old Pig, go to Kunlun Mountain, I still won’t be able to get past the temple.”

Buddha looked at the terrified Pigsy, casually sending a golden light into Pigsy's body, "Nine-Three-Seven," and instructed:

"I left a relic of ten thousand Buddhas within your body. The Buddha's light covers it, and all demons retreat."

Furthermore, this relic can conceal your aura, helping you pass through the temple and enter the Kunlun Jade Pool Immortal Realm. Moreover, in your previous life you were Marshal Tianpeng, the head of the Four Saints of the North Pole, holding a revered position in Taoism; the immortals of Kunlun will surely see you.”

"Yes, Buddha!"

Knowing he couldn't escape, Pigsy had no choice but to go to Kunlun Mountain alone to seek help.

In his previous life, Zhu Bajie was Marshal Tianpeng. He is not just a simple celestial deity, but one of the most important deities in Taoism. He is ranked alongside the Four Saints of the North Pole and the Thunder God, holding an extremely revered position.

Therefore, while the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden may disregard Buddhism and Sun Wukong, she will not disregard Zhu Bajie's (Pigsy's) incompetence.

While Pigsy went to request reinforcements, the Buddhas also looked at the myriad demons fighting each other, far exceeding forty-eight thousand, vying for the final nine positions.

Like raising poisonous insects, the nine demons who survived not only became incredibly powerful, but also more cruel and terrifying.

Thinking of this, all the Buddhas in the heavens couldn't help but request permission:

"Buddha, we humbly request that you go forth to vanquish the demon!"

The image of Zhu Bajie in their minds was too slovenly, and the Buddhas did not place any hope in him.

The Buddha shook his head and solemnly explained:

"The malevolent energy of the Xuan Yin Grand Formation is not as simple as you see it."

Back then, Chi You strengthened the leaders of the Jiuli tribe with Xuan Yin Sha Qi, making even mortals possess bronze heads and iron arms, capable of fighting gods and demons. Moreover, these demons employ methods akin to raising poisonous insects; each emerging demon is undoubtedly stronger than the Jiuli warriors of yesteryear, far beyond your capabilities to contend with.

Tathagata looked at the three great demons and the lesser demons vying for the Xuan Yin Sha Qi. In the past, even mortals could undergo transformation, let alone these demons before him.

Even the four Bodhisattvas at the Great Luo realm might not be a match for the three demons at this moment.

With the suppression of the evil energy within the Xuan Yin Grand Formation, even if he were to make a move, he might not be able to gain much advantage.

Moreover, Chonglou, the main force's leader, hasn't even shown up yet.

Only by breaking the great formation can there be a chance to defeat the demons; otherwise, going up there will only be suicide.

"Buddha, we are willing to go and test the formation!"

Several stubborn Buddhas, relying on their golden bodies and near-Great Luo Immortal cultivation, did not take the demons seriously.

Having said that, the three Buddhas rushed toward the location of the three great demons.

The Buddha's light shines everywhere, and the golden body is invincible.

Before this, the two demons, the Green Lion and the White Elephant, were no more than equal to him.

However, with their current demonized strength, coupled with the amplification from the Xuan Yin Grand Array, the three golden Buddhas are nothing more than easy prey to the three demons; it would be more appropriate for the four Bodhisattvas to take action.

Roar!

Suddenly, the three-headed demonic lion opened all three of its mouths at once. Before the three Buddhas who had entered the formation could even get close, they felt a terrifying suction force drawing them in.

This scene also caused the Buddha's expression to change slightly. He quickly formed a swastika seal, which transformed into a Buddhist mantra to suppress the great formation.

These are three Golden Immortal level experts, who are very likely to step into the Great Luo realm after the Great Xing Dynasty.

Testing the formation is out of the question; if it were used, the Buddhist sect couldn't afford such losses.

However, while Buddha wanted to save people, the Golden-Winged Roc did not want Buddha to save them.

Tweet!

With a high-pitched yet fierce cry, the colossal wings that blotted out the sky soared into the air and rushed toward the Vidyaraja Buddha Seal, who was attempting to suppress the great formation and save the three Buddhas.

This also caused the Buddhas of the heavens to turn ashen-faced.

It should be noted that the Golden-Winged Roc is the Buddha's maternal uncle, yet it has now turned against Buddhism, and against a Buddha at the Golden Immortal level.

Bang!

The Golden-Winged Roc, empowered by the Nine Yin Profound Netherworld Qi, pierced through the Buddha's '卍' syllable mantra like a sharp arrow.

The three Buddhas also could not escape being devoured, and unlike Sun Wukong, they were directly digested inside the demon lion's body, making Tathagata's expression extremely unpleasant.

It should be noted that these are three Buddhas with the potential to become Great Luo, the backbone of Buddhism.

I never expected to perish here.

"Delicious, hahaha... Is there any more?"

With the fall of the three Buddhas, the demon lion's power increased by three points, making the Buddhas even more fearful and hateful.

What? You want to take a big tonic?

Manjushri Bodhisattva's murderous aura flashed by in an instant, but he had raised a tiger only to have it turn into a threat, never expecting to be outmaneuvered by Zhang Xiaoshan.

Not only did they lose a decent mount, but they also managed to turn the tables. It seems that they will suffer even greater losses in order to subdue this demon.

The armored Xuanming Dragon Elephant stomped its foot, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to crack. The heavens and earth shook, and even the Buddhas within a thousand miles lost their footing and panicked.

Just then, the yellow-tusked elephant's trunk suddenly extended a thousand feet like a black dragon, and a suction force came from within it. Instantly, many nuns and arhats who had not had time to react were sucked into the formation by its trunk, and together with the three heads of the blue-faced lion, they were all swallowed into its mouth.

By the time Buddha tried to stop it, it was too late.

The loss of hundreds of Arhats, Vajras, and Bhikkhunis in one fell swoop is comparable to the loss of the three Buddhas just now, which has thoroughly enraged the Tathagata.

Therefore, the Tathagata no longer held back, and the golden Buddha 2.0 shone brightly, illuminating the three realms, and a powerful force suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths.

Om Mani Padme Hum!

Buddhist chants and Zen hymns resound, and all Buddhas pay homage.

Beneath the eight-zhang golden body, at this moment, Tathagata struck Lion Camel Ridge with a palm.

In an instant, billions of Buddha lights converged into a giant Buddha palm that blotted out the sky. Its divine might and ancient, boundless aura caused all beings in the three realms to look at the giant palm with awe.

The divine palm, brimming with destructive power, faintly reveals countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats chanting Buddhist scriptures throughout the heavens and earth. The surging power of their chanting transforms into a dazzling and boundless Buddhist light, suppressing the three thousand worlds.
