Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 185 The Four Monkeys Gather

Meanwhile, their battle attracted the attention of powerful figures from all sides. The Mountain and River Map did not block the divine senses of the crowd, allowing everyone to easily witness the battle.

"Infinite Light!" Before Liu Er could make a move, Duo Bao suddenly uttered a faint Buddhist chant.

As soon as the Buddhist chant arose, the entire primordial Three Realms within the Mountain and River Map seemed to calm down, becoming peaceful and serene, the tranquility lasting endlessly.

Golden rays of Buddhist light surrounded Duobao, making him appear even more sacred and solemn. As soon as the Buddhist chant ended, a faint golden light slowly spread towards Liu Er.

Like ripples on a lake stirred by a gentle breeze, very faint and very slow. But this is just an illusion.

In reality, this ray of Buddha's light was spreading wildly at an incredible speed, reaching Liu Er in an instant.

However, it only reached Liu Er's face before Liu Er swung his golden cudgel and smashed it down.

"Boom!"

In an instant, it went from silent to audible, or rather, a violent explosion, as if it were the Big Bang.

That instant of extreme stillness turning into extreme motion.

At this moment, it can be clearly seen that the ripples formed by the golden Buddha light were broken in two and flew past Liu Er.

Liu Er did not stop. With a swift movement, he gripped the golden cudgel and was already above Duo Bao's head.

Then it was smashed hard.

Another blow!

"Hey! Amitabha! Om Mani Padme Hum!!!" Upon seeing this, Duobao suddenly roared, each word like thunder.

What he uttered was the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism that he practiced. Each syllable contained immense supernatural power and magical strength, shaking the entire primordial world as if it were about to shatter.

When Liu Er swung his staff down, he felt an immense resistance being encountered with the golden cudgel in his hand.

It was blocked six times in total, each time more severely than the last.

After he broke through the six-syllable mantra one by one, the power of the golden cudgel was completely worn away.

At this critical moment, Duobao took the initiative and reached out his right hand to grab Liu Er.

As soon as he stretched out his palm, the surrounding void began to change dramatically, sometimes contracting and sometimes expanding. Countless profound and mysterious Buddhist lights swirled around his hand and slowly reached out towards Liu Er.

However, what Duobao used was a great Buddhist supernatural power called the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand.

Within his palm, a dazzling golden light seemed to have materialized, with the light swirling, golden clouds filling the sky, and Buddhist chants echoing. Various strange phenomena and wondrous sights appeared, with countless lotus platforms connecting heaven and earth.

On each of those lotus pedestals, it seemed as if a Buddha was seated, reciting scriptures and expounding the Dharma. Below the Buddhas, there were even more Bodhisattvas, Vajras, Dharma Protectors, Bhikkhus, and so on.

In the Buddhist kingdom, there are countless temples and groves of Bodhi and Saha trees, an endless sight that is truly terrifying and astonishing.

This signifies that Duobao's understanding of Buddhism has reached an unimaginable level.

However, Liu Er remained fearless in the face of Duo Bao's move. He simply chuckled and with a flick of his body, countless monkeys appeared.

Moreover, each monkey held a golden cudgel in its hand, and with a roar, they smashed the golden cudgel in their hands with all their might.

The moment Duobao's Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand was enveloped, it was shattered into pieces.

Not only that, after destroying the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand, countless monkeys did not stop, but continued to bombard Duobao.

Countless golden cudgels came crashing down.

Duobao's expression changed, and he dared not hold back any longer. He used the Buddhist method, employing all three methods simultaneously.

Which three?

The three paths of interception, humanity, and Buddhism!

However, in addition to the Buddha's light, two other lights appeared on Duobao's body: the Shangqing Immortal Light and the Taiqing Immortal Light.

At the same time, Duobao suddenly let out a loud shout, and another nine-story octagonal Duobao Pagoda appeared above his head.

This pagoda of many treasures is actually the body of many treasures.

However, after Duobao attained enlightenment, he returned it to its original state, and the Duobao Pagoda could then be used as a magic weapon.

Duobao suddenly raised the pagoda to block the countless golden cudgels that came crashing down from all directions.

"BOOM!!"

Another deafening roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth crumbling, followed by countless golden cudgels slamming into the Pagoda of Many Treasures. However, the pagoda only trembled slightly, without breaking or even cracking.

Firstly, the pagoda is sturdy enough, and secondly, it contains countless treasures.

Some of these treasures are innate, but many more are acquired, stored within the pagoda to enhance its power.

At this moment, however, it managed to block the Six-Eared Man's violent attack.

Liu Er did not stop. When his first attack failed, he launched a series of attacks, striking thousands of times in just a moment.

But Duobao wasn't one to just take the beating without fighting back; he unleashed the true teachings and supernatural powers of the three religions.

Liu Er was unable to withstand the attack, and countless of his incarnations were shattered.

They had no choice but to merge their countless incarnations into one, and the two of them fought a fierce battle across the three realms, leaving them in ruins.

It was indeed an earth-shattering battle.

However, just as Duobao was gaining the upper hand, Liu Er suddenly used his staff to block Duobao and shouted, "Wait!"

Upon hearing this, Duobao stopped and asked, "What do you have to say?"

"You used all the methods of the three religions, going all out, but you only bullied my mere clone. That's a bit unfair."

Liu Er laughed and said, "Wait a moment while my other three avatars arrive."

Upon hearing this, Duobao's expression changed, but he stopped attacking and waited quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, three more streaks of light flew in from outside the map of mountains and rivers, revealing their forms.

But they were three very different monkeys.

It resembled a macaque, with golden fur all over its body, and most remarkably, it had six ears.

This is the original form of the Six-Eared Macaque.

A monkey with a body resembling a baboon and black and white fur was actually a red-bottomed macaque, an incarnation of Liu Er, who was created during the time of Yu the Great's flood control efforts.

Another one is the third incarnation that Liu Er obtained during the Investiture of the Gods, and one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys, named the Long-Armed Ape. Its characteristics are that it is much more robust in appearance, with very long arms, and it looks like it has great strength.

At this moment, the four incarnations of Liu Er gathered together: the Six-Eared Macaque, the Red-Bottomed Macaque, the Long-Armed Ape, and the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

The four mischievous monkeys have finally come together.

An indescribable feeling suddenly surged into Duobao's heart, and not only Duobao, but all the other powerful figures watching the battle also had the same feeling.

It was as if the heavens and earth had shattered and returned to chaos, or as if the universe had been reenacted, with earth, water, fire, and wind surging together. The scene of the great god Pangu creating the world seemed to reappear before everyone's eyes.

In that vast chaos, there was a gigantic demonic ape, roaring with its head raised, its ferocious power seemingly rushing towards us across countless ages.

The reason why the four mischievous monkeys have all these special characteristics is precisely because of their extraordinary origins.

It was a powerful demonic ape that was born in the chaos, and was killed by the god Pangu during the great calamity of creation.

However, the original source did not perish. When it was thrown into the primordial world, it differentiated into the four great divine monkeys: the Six-Eared Macaque, the Red-Bottomed Macaque, the Long-Armed Ape, and the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Although these four monkeys were born at different times, they are all of the same origin.
