Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

"Boom!"

Boundless Buddhist light bombarded in, forming a golden light curtain. The group of Buddhas that had just flown out of the "Great Thunderclap Temple" were instantly thrown into chaos. Many Vajras and Arhats were blown apart in mid-air before they could even understand what was happening!

"Acharya! Have you all gone mad?"

A Buddha from the "Great Thunder Temple" withstood several attacks, pointed at the person opposite him with an incredulous expression, and loudly questioned him.

"Hmph! Kumarajiva! You were once a disciple of the Western Paradise, look at what the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit has done to Buddhism! How many of my Buddhist disciples have perished in the demon realm? This is all because the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit is using others to do his dirty work, trying to eradicate the seeds of the Western Paradise! Aren't you repenting yet?"

Ajali sneered, his voice booming outwards!

"What? How could Acharya Buddha commit such a rebellion?"

Upon hearing this, the voice of the Buddha echoed throughout Mount Ling. Instantly, all the Buddhist disciples changed color. However, some disciples secretly memorized the Buddha's words, pondered them carefully, and seemed to find some truth in them...

"You're insane! You're all insane! You've actually committed treason! The two leaders will not let you get away with this!"

Kumarajiva was furious; he would not listen to the so-called complaints of the Acharyas and others.

"Hahaha! Kumarajiva, since you are so stubbornly deluded, don't blame this humble monk for being ruthless!"

Ajali shouted loudly, and according to the plan, he personally sealed off the surrounding area, cutting off the escape route of those stubborn elements in the "Great Thunder Temple".

Once the core of Buddhism is wiped out, the Great Thunderclap Temple will be without a leader, and even sages will be unable to intervene here. In the future, other Buddhist disciples can be subdued one by one, and Buddhism will be unified again in the hands of Buddhist disciples led by the Western Religion!

Ajali acted without hesitation, and ancient celestial dragons, each a thousand feet long, appeared behind them. These were the "Eight Legions," and a colossal "Pagoda" was summoned by these celestial dragons to suppress the entire Mount Ling!

At this moment, entering Ling Mountain is permitted, but leaving is not!

"You dragons are going to rebel?"

A arhat roared. This arhat had two long white eyebrows and was none other than the Long-Eyebrow Arhat. At this moment, the arhat's eyes were wide open like copper bells. As an arhat of the "Great Thunder Temple" and even the entire Buddhist sect, he had the responsibility to protect the teachings. He was furious when he saw these traitors.

"Hmph! What do you mean by rebellion? We, the 'Eight Legions,' obey the orders of the Buddha Wutian, slay the treacherous, support the new Buddha, and are wholeheartedly devoted to the future development of Buddhism. How can that be called rebellion?"

A colossal ancient dragon sneered. He was the first of the "Eight Legions of Heavenly Dragons," personally converted by Amitabha Buddha. His existence predates even some Buddhas of the "Western Religion."

This is one of the truly ancient relics of Buddhism.

The Sandalwood Buddha strongly supported Zen and Tantric Buddhism, allowing them to spread their teachings throughout the four continents, and even regarding these two lineages as representatives of Buddhism, which greatly displeased other sects.

Instigated by the Great Sage Moro, this celestial dragon finally made up its mind to rebel.

Of course, a major reason why he dared to rebel was that dozens of Buddhas had agreed to this matter, especially a powerful being like Bhaisajyaguru Buddha.

Among the elders of Western Buddhism, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha has a great influence and is comparable to Shakyamuni Buddha and Dipankara Buddha.

In terms of status, he may not be as high as the Three Buddhas (horizontal and vertical) or the central Buddha, Vairocana Buddha. In fact, in terms of influence, even Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha, cannot compare with him.

After all, Maitreya Buddha has suffered two major defeats and has already experienced reincarnation twice. Especially the second time, he lost one of his relics and is now wandering in the human world, acting foolishly. It is unlikely that he will ever fully recover.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon King was unwilling to say anything more. His dragon claw, as thick as a pillar supporting the sky, reached out and grabbed at the Long-Browed Arhat. The energy was concentrated in all directions, making the Long-Browed Arhat almost unable to breathe.

"Damn it! You've completely rebelled! You traitors!"

Kumarajiva was furious. With a flick of his sleeve, a fierce gust of wind swept out, meeting the attack head-on!

If he doesn't make a move, the Long-Browed Arhat has no chance to resist!

……

"Hehehe... The Buddhist sect is really interesting; they've actually started fighting amongst themselves."

Above Mount Ling, demonic clouds churned, demons danced wildly, and a demon lord let out a wild laugh.

"These days, profit comes first, and even Buddhist monks will stop at nothing to gain power."

Ding Yin chuckled. The current situation was good. According to the previous plan, the ascetic monks would open the array eye and let these demons in. Some old relics of the Great World of Samsara would then take the opportunity to launch an attack and destroy the "Great Thunder Temple".

The plan was put into action. With Kumarajiva's intervention, the great battle outside the Great Thunder Temple broke out. Monks, their eyes filled with malice, ruthlessly killed their former fellow practitioners!

"So Buddhism is just like everyone else, what's the difference between it and our demonic path?"

Watching the Buddhist disciples fall one by one into pools of blood, a demon with a string of skulls around his neck said disdainfully.

"Silence!"

Ding Yin raised a pair of red eyebrows, looked around, and said, "The Great Sage Moro wouldn't want to hear you talk like that..."

"Yes! I was being cheeky and said the wrong thing."

The man felt a chill run down his spine, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he quickly admitted his mistake.

Among their demonic forces, the Great Sage Moro is the most supreme name.

He was their sole overlord, even more intimidating than the Styx Ancestor. This deputy leader of the Asura Cult had used countless cruel methods to make these demons obedient and follow his orders.

"Ding Yin, what should we do? Just watch? Won't the Great Sage Moro be unhappy?"

The demon who had just misspoke asked cautiously, wanting to atone for his sins.

"No rush! Let's observe! As long as we ensure the complete annihilation of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the blood of Buddhism should naturally be shed by Buddhists. What would we do if we intervened? Wouldn't that offend the eminent Buddhist monks?"

Ding Yin had a cold smile on his lips. Over the years, he had made great progress, successfully severing one of his corpses and becoming a quasi-saint.

This is all thanks to the blessing of the Tao's influence, which diminishes evil and strengthens the righteous.

With the guidance of the Great Sage Moro, the strong support of the Asura Cult, and Ding Yin's cunning in constantly ambushing and refining experts from other forces, saving him countless years of arduous cultivation, he has achieved his current success.

Ding Yin is now considered one of the high-ranking members of the Asura Cult, and is also the leader of this operation. He is specifically responsible for assisting the elders of the Western Cult in completely eradicating the "Great Thunder Temple".

Apart from Ding Yin's group of demonic cultivators, the Great Sage Moro was very well prepared. Disciples of the Western Sect were on high alert throughout Xiniu Hezhou, ready to block any Buddhist masters who might come to support the "Great Thunderclap Temple".

It can be said that this time, taking advantage of the Buddhist community's emptiness, the Great Sage Moro completely gained the upper hand, catching the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, the Buddha of Great Sun, and the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra completely off guard.

The three leaders of Buddhism were on a campaign against the demon realm, completely unaware that their homeland was on the verge of destruction.

"To the Yellow Springs and the Azure Heaven!"

Ding Yin sneered, and the demons moved. Everyone unleashed a series of demonic divine powers, forming a huge River of the Underworld in the void.

The river blocked off the void, ensuring no one could escape, and then watched with great interest the scene of infighting within the Buddhist community.

Kumarajiva Buddha has already started a great battle with the King of the Heavenly Dragons. Both of them are experts among the Quasi-Saints, responsible for guarding the Buddhist sect's territory in the Three Realms. They have never fought in the Demon Realm, and both of them are at their peak. Once these two make a move, they go all out, and their momentum is extremely powerful. The two of them cannot care about the severe depletion of their magical power. Now, they want to completely kill each other and change the current situation.

Despite the Western Sect's sudden attack, the fact that most of the senior members of the Western Sect were reassigned due to the actions of the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, the Great Sun Buddha, and the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra meant that their rebellious forces were not strong.

This Heavenly Dragon King is already considered a top-tier existence.

"I've come to meet you!"

Acharya Buddha shouted and charged straight at Kumarajiva Buddha. Faced with the combined attack of the two masters, Kumarajiva Buddha's energy was consumed even faster. He was even injured by the two, and his strength was less than 80% of his peak.

"Die! Acharya, you damned traitor! Do you know what will happen on the front lines of the Demon Realm because of your actions? Neither the Buddha nor the two leaders will let you get away with this!"

When Kumarajiva saw this traitor, he was furious. His body trembled, and suddenly golden Buddhist light shot out from every pore of his body.

In an attempt to turn the tide, Kumarajiva began to fight desperately, burning his life essence and his true Buddha blood, which hissed and burned. In the blink of an eye, this true Buddha blood transformed into a golden pillar of energy.

Within this golden pillar of energy, specks of crimson were mixed in, which quickly condensed into a towering pillar. This towering pillar was a full 100,000 feet tall. The enormous towering pillar swept across and crashed down towards the Heavenly Dragon King, Acharya Buddha.

"kill!"

The Heavenly Dragon King and Acharya Buddha are both giants in Buddhism. They have cultivated to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, experienced countless hardships, and risked their lives countless times. Why would they be afraid of others risking their lives?

The two were not to be outdone, and they unleashed a powerful roar. Their bodies trembled, and they flew out of their Buddhist golden bodies, also going all out to kill Kumarajiva Buddha with powerful means!

"Boom!"

The three masters clashed once again.

The entire "Great Thunderclap Temple" shook violently. Ding Yin and the others' expressions changed drastically. The "Yellow Springs and Azure Heaven" they had set up actually stirred up huge waves, almost backfiring on them!

After the three masters unleashed their attack, they each retreated!

The King of the Heavenly Dragons and Acharya Buddha blushed, each letting out a loud shout. With a swift movement, they charged forward again, heading towards the pale-faced Kumarajiva Buddha!

The Heavenly Dragon King directly unleashed the Buddhist treasure, the "Floating Pagoda," going all out from the start and fully activating his magical power to fully revive the treasure!

Acharya Buddha also offered up a black bead, which was completely different from the Buddhist Dharma beads and had a strange aura. This bead was one of the magic treasures of the Great Sage Moro, the "Soul-Suppressing Bead".

This "Soul-Suppressing Pearl" was unleashed from Acharya Buddha's hand seal and blasted towards Kumarajiva Buddha!

Since everyone here is an old acquaintance, there's no need for any probing. The King of Heavenly Dragons only wants to end the battle quickly, so there's no need to hold back and fight a long, drawn-out battle!

"Boom!"

The "Pagoda" fell from mid-air, forming a boundless giant tower. In an instant, it tore apart the Buddha's light on Kumarajiva's body and shattered the pillar supporting the sky!

With a loud "boom," the "Soul-Suppressing Pearl" followed closely behind, flying into the body and exploding on Kumarajiva Buddha. This was the full force of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Its power was so great that even a late-stage Quasi-Saint would be severely injured and on the verge of death if struck by it!

In the blink of an eye, Kumarajiva's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless raindrops of blood and flesh.

In the center of the blood and flesh, a golden Buddha appeared, with twelve heads and twenty-four arms. The enormous Buddha sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, which was the original spiritual form of Kumarajiva Buddha.

Kumarajiva was, after all, a great master in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, whose Buddhist supernatural powers were extremely powerful, and he also had certain treasures protecting him. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Dragon King or Acharya Buddha were, they would have difficulty killing him in one go!

However, he was already in extremely dire straits at this point.

Its true form shattered, leaving only its physical body; it could be said that it was already one step away from annihilation.

"A golden opportunity! Eminent monks, Ding Yin will lend you a hand!"

In the void, Ding Yin saw this scene, his eyes lit up, he shouted, and his whole body transformed into a blood shadow, as fast as lightning, sweeping towards the Buddha Kumarajiva.

Whether it's the scattered flesh and blood around this Buddha, or the relics and the primordial spirit, these are all supreme treasures. How could "Blood Demon" Ding Yin possibly miss such a heaven-sent opportunity?

This is the best way to improve your cultivation!

"Eating" Kumarajiva Buddha will immediately boost one's cultivation level significantly!

"Ding Yin, what are you doing?"

Before Ding Yin could even devour the flesh and blood, the Heavenly Dragon King, Acharya Buddha, objected. Wasn't this bastard just here to pick up the bargains?

Kumarajiva Buddha, it was only after they paid a great price to shatter this person's golden body that this spoils of war belonged to them both. How could they possibly give it to Ding Yin, this evil demon?

Let alone the benefits brought by the fall of a Buddha of this level, even a weed by the roadside wouldn't be of any use to Ding Yin. This little devil, trying to snatch it from them, is courting death!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two beams of Buddhist light slammed into the rapidly approaching blood-red light!

"How hateful! King of the Heavenly Dragons, Acharya Buddha, we are allies! You relinquished the regret of Kumarajiva Buddha, and I owe you a favor, which I will repay later!"

Ding Yin was furious, but facing two Buddhist masters, he was no match for them, not even able to defeat one of them. Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and try to settle the matter peacefully. (End of Chapter)
