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

"kill!"

When Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang reunited, Chonglou, holding a golden halberd, looked at Tathagata and swung the halberd like a war horn.

The golden light emanated from it, and even the Buddha's expression changed slightly.

This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, specifically designed to counter the golden body. Even his six-zhang golden body wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on. Is Chonglou able to break through its defenses? The previous Kui Niu Drum is a case in point.

As Chonglou launched his first attack at Tathagata, the three top demons and the nine demon kings simultaneously pounced on the Buddhas of the heavens.

Even the newly emerged demons were infected by the atmosphere and rushed towards the group of nuns.

The Green Lion and the White Elephant each faced off against Manjushri and Samantabhadra, while the Golden-Winged Roc provided cover.

Just now, with the sound of the Kui Niu beating its drum, the strength of the Green Lion and White Elephant was greatly reduced. Individually, they were no match for Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Therefore, the Golden-Winged Roc was responsible for maneuvering and maintaining balance.

The nine demons, their eyes bloodshot, charged toward Ananda, Kasyapa, the Buddhas, and the eighteen Arhats like ferocious tigers devouring their prey.

In an instant, the battlefield became clear, and roars of fury echoed throughout the heavens.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

At this moment, the Buddha's palm rose up and struck Chonglou, whose spear was as long as a dragon.

Knowing the strength of Tathagata Chonglou, he was not someone who could be killed with a single, casual strike.

With his profound skills reaching the sixth level, he possessed a body comparable to that of an ancient great shaman. Coupled with the Primordial Golden Armor, his defense was off the charts, making him several times stronger than Sun Wukong's indestructible body. Moreover, he also wielded a primordial divine halberd.

The golden halberd pierced through the Buddha's palm with its extremely sharp golden spear light, and then headed towards the Buddha's sixteen-foot golden body.

Faced with the threat of the divine halberd's sharp edge, Tathagata immediately smashed out his golden alms bowl.

when!

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the golden halberd withstood the suppression of the golden bowl, its potential to pierce through it subtly.

Chonglou's unparalleled profound skills are unlike those of the Six-Eared Macaque, who has just broken through and is only capable of fighting. Coupled with the supreme sharpness of the Innate Divine Halberd, he can even threaten the golden body of Tathagata, let alone a golden alms bowl.

Even Buddha himself raised an eyebrow when he noticed this scene.

Unexpectedly, the Innate Divine Halberd was so powerful; the golden light it emitted seemed capable of piercing even his golden bowl.

Immediately, a golden light shot out from his hand, blessing the golden bowl in the form of a swastika.

If you lack magical treasures, you can make up for it with your cultivation.

In an instant, the golden alms bowl shone with a brilliant light, blocking the sharp edge of the divine halberd.

At the same time, he increased his magical power, intending to suppress Chonglou directly and eliminate future troubles with a cultivation level surpassing that of a Great Luo Immortal.

"Break this seat!"

With a burst of golden light, the golden bowl was forcibly shaken open by Chonglou, and at the same time, a beam of golden light shot towards Tathagata.

puff!

Even though the divine power of the innate divine halberd had been largely dissipated, the sharpness of it still grazed the golden body of Tathagata, leaving a wound that healed instantly.

Although this did not cause any harm to the Buddha, the fact that the golden body was pierced by the sharp edge was witnessed by everyone.

Chapter 162 The Demons' Defeat and the Demise of Chonglou?

"how is this possible?"

The Buddha's six-zhang golden body is one of the most supreme golden bodies in the Three Realms.

The Buddha's golden body, which was originally impervious to all laws and indestructible, was now broken by the innate divine halberd. The shock it brought to all the Buddhas in the heavens was unimaginable. This was a simplified version of the God-Slaying Spear.

However, Chonglou frowned, his eyes flashing like lightning as he looked at the breach in the defense that had been breached in an instant.

Just now, everyone intuitively felt that he had broken through the Buddha's sixteen-foot golden body, but they did not notice at all that after the golden body was broken, there was no leakage of aura.

It may seem like a breach, but it's actually a futile effort.

"As expected, this divine halberd is ultimately not of a high enough grade!"

The Innate Divine Halberd is a top-grade spiritual treasure with thirty-three layers of innate prohibition. Although it is a top-level spiritual treasure in the Great Luo realm, it is still far inferior to the magic treasures of the sect leader level, not to mention the legendary innate supreme treasure - the God-Slaying Spear.

The golden bowl in the Buddha's hand, though a top-grade spiritual treasure, is an acquired treasure.

Just as Sun Wukong could use his life-saving hair to make a hole in the bottom of the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, he could not break through the defense of the Crimson Gold Gourd.

If it were the God-Slaying Spear, that single strike would have severely damaged Tathagata's vital energy, or even caused his demise.

"What a magnificent innate divine halberd!"

This divine halberd was born from the same source as Sun Wukong, and it is a blessing to have chosen a venerable one as its master.

Even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens couldn't help but show envy when they looked at the 937 Heavenly Divine Halberd.

Moreover, this divine halberd was actually related to Sun Wukong. Apart from Sun Wukong, who already knew about it, everyone else showed surprise.

"The Divine Halberd chose its master because it was born for me."

Not only do Sun Wukong and the goddess Nuwa have a karmic connection, but I also have a good karmic relationship with her in the mortal realm. This is a gift from the sages, and the Buddha's attempt to sow discord is futile!

Did you have a good relationship with the goddess Nuwa?

Upon hearing this, all the gods and Buddhas immediately abandoned their desire to seize the treasure.

The cause and effect of a sage is not something that can be easily calculated.

"Buddha, we both know the outcome of this battle."

Since I have granted your Buddhist path your blessing, you too cannot escape the calamity that awaits you. Today I cannot harm you, but next time may be different.”

"Namo Amitabha!"

When Tathagata looked at the divine halberd, his eyes also revealed a look of fear.

He understood the hidden meaning behind Chonglou: in the future, it wouldn't just be the fall of a catastrophe, but also the increasing power of the innate divine halberd, which would eventually evolve to a certain degree and harm him.

The Innate Divine Halberd is of a certain grade; it only possesses sharpness but lacks the Heavenly Fiend Qi and Chaos Qi of the God-Slaying Spear, therefore it cannot harm him.

But Buddha never doubted Zhang Xiaoshan's trump card. He had reached such a level with just one incarnation of Chonglou. His future achievements were unimaginable.

"Monster, take this from my old Sun Wukong's staff!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong, wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical needle), faced off against the Golden-Winged Roc, one of the three great demons.

Only the Green Lion and the White Elephant remained to face the Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Although the two demons had transformed into a three-headed lion and a leather-armored dragon-elephant, they were ultimately not at the Great Luo level. Moreover, the drumming of the Kui Niu had broken their evil aura, greatly weakening the two demons.

Without the Golden-Winged Roc's intervention, the two demons quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

The same was true for Sun Wukong. He originally thought that his strength was about the same as that of the Golden-Winged Roc, but the Golden-Winged Roc, with the help of the Nine Netherworld Demonic Qi, completed the sixth transformation of his profound skill, greatly increasing his strength.

With a swift and sharp silver spear, he quickly gained the upper hand.

With one man swinging his staff to defend, and the other thrusting his spear like a dragon, Sun Wukong was quickly outpaced by the Golden-Winged Roc and had his spear pressed against his chest.

If it weren't for Sun Wukong's indestructible body, this spear would have been enough to pierce through him, killing him instantly.

Even so, the monkey was still thrown hundreds of feet away.

Upon seeing this, Pigsy and Sandy immediately raised their troops to meet the Golden-Winged Roc.

However, the two were too weak. Before the monkey could come to their aid, the three of them joined forces and the two senior brothers were hit by a single shot and sent flying hundreds of feet away.

Seeing this, the three brothers also looked at the Golden-Winged Roc with solemnity, for the Golden-Winged Roc's strength far exceeded their imagination.

The gods and demons of the heavens couldn't help but look at the Golden-Winged Roc, who had fought against three heroes single-handedly. They were surprised that even after the Kui Niu beat the drum and the Yuan Qi was greatly injured, the Golden-Winged Roc's strength was still so formidable, and even Sun Wukong was no match for it.

"Big brother! Second brother!"

Suddenly, the Golden-Winged Roc glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the three-headed lion and the leather-armored dragon-elephant were being suppressed by Manjushri and Samantabhadra, their bodies turning into dust.

As for the primordial spirit?

A stream of Netherworldly malevolent energy was sealed in the depths of the Netherworld by the two Bodhisattvas.

Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Roc knew that the situation was hopeless, so it revealed its true form as a Golden-Winged Roc eagle.

The black eagle flapped its wings, and a fierce wind raged.

Even Sun Wukong and his two brothers, along with all the gods and Buddhas, felt the sky darken and the earth go dark, their eyes glazed over and their heads spinning. The wind was even more domineering and powerful than the Samadhi Divine Wind, and they couldn't even maintain their balance in the gale.

When he came to his senses, the roc soared ninety thousand miles, and with a few flaps of its wings, it covered a distance of 108,000 miles, far exceeding the distance of Sun Wukong's somersault, and disappeared into the vast sky.

After all, given the speed of the Golden-Winged Roc, even Buddha couldn't stop it from leaving if it wanted to.

Moreover, given the identity of the Golden-Winged Roc, Manjushri and Samantabhadra, who were free to act, and Lingji Bodhisattva, who possessed the Wind-Fixing Pearl, did not stop it. They allowed the Golden-Winged Roc to leave the battlefield, leaving only the other nine demons to await the judgment of the gods and Buddhas.

The fate of the nine demons is predictable.

With their hands freed, Manjushri and Samantabhadra, along with the fierce-looking Sun Wukong, sealed the nine demons either like the Green Lion and the White Elephant in the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, or had them seized by Sun Wukong and killed with a single blow.

In the end, only Chonglou stood among the ten thousand Buddhas, calmly facing the Tathagata, without the slightest awareness of a loser.

"Buddha, we will meet again in a thousand years!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chonglou was not surprised at all.

After all, the rise of the West was the inevitable trend of Heaven, and he was merely a stumbling block on the journey to the West.

The opportunity he sought was a thousand years later, so failure was to be expected.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, may the Venerable One rest in peace!"

Amidst the awe of the gods and Buddhas, Chonglou's figure slowly dissipated into the world like golden sand.

"Amitabha!"

The Buddhas of the heavens also sensed that something was very wrong, as they had clearly heard the conversation between Chonglou and Tathagata.

A thousand years later, Chonglou returns once again.

At that time, it might not be a simple calamity, but a great calamity affecting all the heavens.

"Buddha, has the Jade Frontier War God truly perished like this?"

Sun Wukong looked at the center, which had vanished without a trace, and couldn't understand why the Jade Emperor was so fierce.

You don't understand!

This calamity is not a killing calamity orchestrated by the God of War of Jade Frontier, but merely uses the killing and warfare of the Buddhas to propel the great calamities of the heavens.

A thousand years later, the God of War of Jade Frontier will once again return to the Three Realms, ruling them with the power of the Seventh Transformation of Profound Technique.

Hiss...

Not only Sun Wukong, but even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were startled upon hearing this.

Little did they know that all of this was merely a scheme by the God of War of Jade Frontier; the real calamity was yet to come.

Sevenfold Mystic Technique?

Sun Wukong realized that he was only at the fifth level of his profound skill, and even the Golden-Winged Roc was no match for him in a hundred moves. If Chonglou were to break through his realm again, he feared he would be no match for Chonglou in three moves.

Chapter 163 A Flower Blooms, a Twelfth-Rank Great Luo Golden Immortal

The fall of the God of War Chonglou was also the first time that Buddhism had flexed its muscles in such a glorious way.

Even disregarding the powerful figures in Buddhism such as Guanyin of the South China Sea, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who sits in the netherworld, and Dipankara Buddha, the profound strength that Buddhism has revealed this time is enough to make all the gods and demons in the heavens wary.

One super-strong expert, two Great Luo Bodhisattvas, at least nine top-tier experts at the Golden Immortal level, including Ananda, Kasyapa, Subduing Dragon and Tiger, and Lingji Bodhisattva...

Such terrifying resources are probably only something that the Heavenly Court and the Taoist sect can rival the Buddhist sect.

As for the future? Who knows?

After the battle at Lion Camel Ridge, although the journey westward was fraught with hardship, there were no more demons or monsters that defied the heavens.

After the westward journey ended, Buddhism flourished.

···

"My path is complete!"

The Great Luo Heaven, the Tushita Palace.

At this moment, in the silent Great Luo Heaven, a chuunibyou-esque remark spread throughout the entire Tushita Palace.

After the rise of Buddhism, Zhang Xiaoshan, who was in seclusion, finally achieved perfect harmony of the five elements and the convergence of the three flowers at the top of his head.

With his primordial spirit auspiciously gathered at the top, the five elements were perfectly balanced, and the three flowers naturally converged at the top without any bottleneck. However, the potential of the three flowers next depends on Zhang Xiaoshan's aptitude and foundation.
