All Heavens: Starting with Panlong's Transcendence, Devouring All Heavens

Chapter 151 Ghost City

"You fiend, you dare to play dumb in front of me!" Lynn shouted coldly, looking at the majestic Pudu Cihang.

Without further ado, he wielded the Xuanyuan Sword, transforming into a gust of wind as he slashed directly at Pudu Cihang.

Upon seeing Lynn charging towards them, Pudu Cihang suddenly shouted, "How dare you!"

Golden rays of light flew out from his body and coiled around Lynn. At the same time, he began to chant the "Life-Taking Chant," attempting to bewitch Lynn with a sonic attack.

But Lynn was a ten-thousand-year-old corpse. His golden light struck Lynn's body, but even the scales on his body were completely unharmed!

His deadly chants had absolutely no effect on Lynn!

Seeing this, Pudu Cihang's eyes flashed with surprise, but he was not too flustered. Instead, he looked at Lin En coldly. Then, his figure disappeared and a hundred-meter-tall golden Buddha image appeared in the air!

The profound chanting sound emanated from the mouth of this golden statue, instantly spreading in all directions.

Below, countless devout men and women knelt down in reverence, shouting loudly, "Buddha has manifested His power!"

The enormous golden statue of the Buddha spoke slightly, and a heart-stirring Buddhist chant resounded: "Excellent! Excellent! Benefactor, your murderous intent is too great. Why not lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"

Lynn smiled and said, "Your appearance really does resemble that of Buddha. It seems you do indeed have some connection to Buddha!"

He thought of the Buddhist monk "Master Baiyun" who appeared in the third movie, who looked exactly like this Pudu Cihang. Perhaps they were the same person, or had a very close relationship.

Lin En wasn't surprised that the centipede demon Pudu Cihang had connections to Buddhism. Those high-ranking monks in Buddhism, seemingly pure and indifferent, were actually all yearning for fame and fortune. Even on such a crucial matter as the pilgrimage of the Tang Monk, Ananda and Kasyapa, as disciples of the Buddha, disregarded the greater good and sought personal gain!

Moreover, the closer you get to Mount Ling, the more demons and monsters you'll encounter! And most of these demons and monsters are related to Buddhism.

So, what's so strange about this centipede demon having a connection with Buddhism?

However, expecting him to stop is absolutely impossible!

He agreed, but the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand would never agree!

"Whoosh!"

Lynn swung his sword at the centipede demon's illusory Buddha form, determined to slay the demon!

"Hmph! Stubborn fool! Let me convert you, you monster!" The golden Buddha spoke, his voice like thunder. Then he clasped his hands together, and boundless golden light shone from between his palms, intending to melt Lynn into nothingness!

"That's all?" Lynn sneered, easily scattering the golden light with a swing of his sword.

Then, a sword strike as magnificent as moonlight slashed down on the head of this Dharma image.

"Click! Click!~~"

The sound of shattering rang out continuously. The Tathagata image of Pudu Cihang shattered and peeled away like porcelain, revealing the ferocious thousand-legged centipede demon body inside the golden shell.

The majestic golden body of the Buddha, and the ferocious centipede demon with its giant teeth!

The changes before and after created a huge contrast!

The believers below were terrified. Was the one they worshipped day and night actually a demon?

"You've ruined my golden body, you're asking for death!" A voice like a baby's cry came from the centipede demon's mouth. It seemed he was about to unleash his strongest attack, but the next second, he turned and ran away!

He was a great demon who had lived for millennia, possessing wisdom even surpassing that of ordinary humans. Even his ethereal form was destroyed by Lynn's single sword strike; how could he not know that he was no match for Lynn, and if the fight continued, his life would likely be in danger!

"Escape?" Lynn's huge golden wings flapped slightly, and he transformed into a gentle breeze to chase after it.

When his figure reappeared, he was already on the back of the hundred-foot centipede demon.

"brush!"

With a simple horizontal slash, he easily cut the centipede demon in half. The centipede demon's shell, which was much harder than steel, was as vulnerable as clay under Lynn's Xuanyuan Sword.

Blood and internal organs cascaded down like a waterfall. Even after being cut in half at the waist, the centipede demon was still alive, demonstrating the powerful vitality of this thousand-year-old monster.

"Ugh~~"

The lower half of the centipede demon's body stiffened and fell, while the upper half of its body roared and continued to fly into the distance.

Foul-smelling blood kept gushing from his wound, like acid rain. Any plants touched by the blood withered, and any humans who were drenched in it collapsed in agony!

……

"Trying to escape! What a waste of your efforts!"

When the centipede demon was uninjured, Lynn could easily catch up with it. Now that it was injured, Lynn thought its speed was like that of a tortoise crawling!

Using his Wind Release technique, he leaped forward swiftly and with a single sword strike, cleaved the centipede demon's hideous head into pieces, completely killing it!

Add 1 point to the source point.

Lynn didn't even look at it, and without hesitation added the source points to his realm.

His cultivation level has reached the Golden-Winged Moon Corpse (63/100).

Looking down at the temple, Lynn said indifferently, "Destroy all these little demons!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless golden rays, like raindrops, burst forth from the Xuanyuan Sword in Lynn's hand, quickly covering the temple below. Those disciples and followers of Pudu Cihang, disguised as humans, were instantly exposed under the golden light, revealing their true forms, and then convulsed and died directly under the golden light.

……

Upon seeing this, the high-ranking officials and nobles burning incense below erupted in uproar: "The Imperial Preceptor is a demon in disguise, and all his disciples and followers are demons!"

Then someone else shouted, "This man who killed the demon and saved us is the real god! We should worship him!"

"Yes, gods have boundless power. If we worship this god, he will surely bless us with great wealth, high office, and immortality!"

……

Lynn heard the frenzied shouts of the believers below and shook his head in disbelief. Ignoring the kneeling and pleading of the fanatics, he vanished!

……

At the very moment Lynn slew the centipede demon, within a golden Buddhist palace where flowers bloomed from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the ground, an old monk with a white beard, who looked seven or eight parts like the centipede demon, suddenly opened his eyes!

He sighed softly, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow: "One of my avatars has been slain. What a pity, a thousand years of painstaking effort, all destroyed in an instant!"

"Who did this?" The old monk closed his eyes and began to calculate with his fingers. After a moment, he opened his eyes in surprise: "Strange, I can't figure it out. Did someone conceal the secrets of heaven for him, or is he carrying a treasure that disrupts the secrets of heaven?"

Lynn's true form is a zombie, born outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements. Moreover, when he killed the centipede demon, he was holding the Xuanyuan Sword, which was the sword of the Human Emperor and the supreme treasure of the human race to suppress destiny!

With both sides working together, it's no surprise that the old monk couldn't figure out Lynn's background. "The Journey to the West is about to begin! This concerns the great prosperity of Buddhism, and at this crucial juncture, such a thing has happened!" The old monk's expression was grave. "I should go see the World-Honored One and ask him to make a decision!"

Immediately, a lotus flower rose from beneath the old monk, carrying him away into the distance, and soon they arrived at a solemn temple.

Inside this precious temple, Bodhisattvas and Arhats lined up on both sides, Guanyin and Jinchan stood before the steps, and Ananda and Kasyapa served before the throne. At the highest seat sat the Buddha, a monk as imposing as a mountain!

As soon as the old monk entered the temple, he put his hands together in prayer: "World Honored One!"

"Oh?" The Buddha above looked at him, seemingly seeing through his intentions in an instant, and smiled as he spoke: "Bodhisattva has come to see me, is there some change in the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

The old monk nodded: "I can't hide it from the World Honored One. The sutra-retrieving body I sent to the mortal realm was destroyed, but I can't figure out its origins!"

"Can't figure out its origin?" A look of surprise flashed in Tathagata's eyes. Then he also started to calculate. After all, he was one of the most outstanding people in this world. After some calculation, even though Lynn was a zombie and the Emperor's Sword was disrupting the heavenly secrets, he still managed to figure out some things.

After a moment, the Buddha smiled and said, "The thing that destroyed your Dharma body was neither human, nor demon, nor immortal, nor monster! Now that your Dharma body is destroyed, the journey to the West cannot be delayed!"

"Let Jin Chan and Da Shi handle this matter!"

"We will obey the Buddha's decree!" Guanyin and Jinchan were overjoyed.

"Neither human, nor demon, nor immortal, nor devil?" The old monk frowned, but ultimately simply nodded: "I will obey the Buddha's decree!"

……

Late at night, in a large city in Liaodong. The moonlight shines down, and the air is very quiet. The residents, who have worked hard all day, are all asleep. Only the sound of the night watchman's clapper can be heard from time to time.

Suddenly, a large patch of dark clouds obscured the moon in the sky, and then all sorts of strange and bizarre ghosts began to emerge from the ground around the city.

Countless evil spirits, densely packed and covering the mountains and plains, all stared greedily at the towering city wall in the distance.

There, there is delicious food, the taste of a stranger!

"Boom!"

From the center of the demons, a completely black mountain emerged, its surface shimmering with the face of the Black Mountain Demon. He gazed at the distant city, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, and commanded the demons, "Go! The people of this city are my offering to you!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

……

Excited shouts rang out one after another, and then these strange and grotesque demons surged towards the city like a flood, climbing up the city walls and entering the city.

The first to suffer were the soldiers defending the city, who fell one after another, their souls and flesh devoured by the evil spirits.

In their struggle for the souls and flesh of these soldiers, the demons even fought amongst themselves. But soon, their gaze turned to the city, where there was even more delicious food!

The demons bared their fangs and claws as they pounced on the city, and in an instant, screams and the sound of bones being chewed echoed throughout the city.

Overnight, the entire city was wiped out, turning it into a living hell! A ghost town!

The pitch-black mountain peak floated above the city. On the smooth side of one of the peaks, the Black Mountain Demon's gaze was fixed on the pass, carrying a hint of provocation!

……

After killing the centipede demon, Lynn prepared to kill the Black Mountain Demon. However, the Black Mountain Demon was in the underworld, and he didn't know how to get there.

But soon, he had an idea: "Yan Chixia should know how to get to the underworld. In the original movie, he took Ning Caichen to the underworld to retrieve Xiaoqian's urn. Let's go ask him!"

"call out!"

Under the moonlight, a gentle breeze blew by, and Lynn disappeared from sight. It was the supernatural power "Wind Release"!

Soon, Lynn found Yan Chixia and Zhi Qiu Yiye. By this time, A-Qiang and Kongxu Gongzi had already left, but two other elderly men in flowing immortal robes were with them.

To be precise, it was two elderly men sitting cross-legged, while the two of them stood respectfully to the side!

Upon seeing Lynn appear, the older man with the goatee said with a bitter face, "Do you know how terrible the trouble you've gotten yourself into!"

Another elderly man with white hair and a youthful face said calmly, "You've come at the right time, please have a seat!"

Their words, however, carried a subtle hint of accusation!

Lynn looked at Yan Chixia and Zhi Qiu Yiye with a puzzled expression, as if asking, "Who are these two old guys?"

Seeing Lynn's confusion, Yan Chixia quickly explained, "These two are senior figures of our Xuanmen sect, namely Celestial Master Xu and Celestial Master Wang! They came specifically regarding the Black Mountain Demon."

"What a coincidence! I've also come to find you about the Black Mountain Demon!" Lynn nodded slightly. "I just went to the capital and killed that centipede demon who impersonated Buddha. I'm on my way to the underworld to slay the Black Mountain Demon! I came to you hoping you could tell me how to enter the underworld!"

"You killed that centipede demon?" Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man named Wang Tianshi's face immediately turned ugly. "Do you know that the centipede demon was actually the incarnation of a great Buddhist bodhisattva! Its life and death were even related to the great struggle between Buddhism and Taoism! You ruined the Taoism's plan; do you know what a grave crime you have committed!"

"Hmm?" Lynn looked at Master Wang: "If we don't kill him, are we just going to let him poison the lives of the people and bring disaster to the world?"

"How can the common people compare to the struggle for the orthodox lineage!" Master Xu said with a bitter face, "Who taught you, boy? Didn't your master tell you the most important thing in the world before you left the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia opened his mouth, wanting to tell the two Celestial Masters that what stood before them was not some rising star of the Xuanmen sect, but a 'Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse King'! However, fearing a fight would break out, he ultimately remained silent.

"You! You! What does it matter if a few people die in the fall of dynasties! Mortals are like weeds; they can't be burned out by wildfires. The spring breeze blows, and they grow back in droves." Master Wang then lectured Lin En: "The most important thing is not to let Buddhism spread its scriptures to the East and ruin the fortune of my Xuanmen!"

"Alas! We've gone off on a tangent!" Master Xu's face grew even more bitter. "Do you know that the Black Mountain Demon has left the underworld? Because you killed one of his ghost generals, he used the excuse of breaking the contract and led his ghost generals and soldiers into the mortal realm. At this moment, Liaodong Dragon City has been transformed into a ghostly realm! All living beings have perished!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Lynn's eyes: "The Black Mountain Demon! He's wreaking havoc on the human world?"
