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

"Oh no! We have to help Lü Dongbin!"

The first one to get anxious was He Xiangu, who stepped forward and spoke to Confucius with a look of unease.

"Indeed! Fellow Daoist Lü is no match for that traitor Puxian!"

Tieguai Li and the others also realized what was happening and said repeatedly.

At this moment, the group of experts from the Human Sect were all shocked.

No one expected that after the decline of Buddhism, a master of this caliber would still emerge.

Jiang Ziya, standing to the side, was also secretly amazed; Samantabhadra was an old acquaintance of his.

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, he remained unassuming and inconspicuous.

They are nowhere near as famous as Guang Chengzi or Taiyi Zhenren.

Now, Guang Chengzi is useless, and Taiyi Zhenren has just escaped his tribulation, ranking last among the twelve Golden Immortals in terms of cultivation.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was on the verge of having all three of his bodies severed.

This performance was far beyond his expectations.

This must be the one who has developed the best among that batch of disciples of the Chan Sect back then, right?

At this moment, on the battlefield, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva completely dominated the situation with overwhelming power.

Even a reincarnated great figure like Lu Dongbin, the Eastern Emperor, could only struggle desperately.

One wrong move and millions of years of cultivation could be destroyed in an instant.

"Very well! I will personally take action!"

Confucius was equally shocked. At this moment, he could not send others to their deaths. Apart from him, no one was a match for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!

"stop!"

Having made up his mind, Confucius flew out of the "Two Elements Dust Array," let out a loud shout, and rushed straight towards Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva remained motionless, not even getting up, when a golden light shot up from behind his head.

A golden Buddha statue walked towards Confucius!

At this moment, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva released his benevolent body, which actually fought against two top-level supernatural beings at the same time!

Such dominance boosted the morale of everyone in the Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance.

The Buddhist disciples who followed the Sandalwood Merit Buddha cheered and celebrated.

Everyone recites scriptures and chants Buddha's name, praising Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Haha! Confucius, you young man, when I attained enlightenment, you had not yet entered the Dao. I never imagined that you would become the leader of the Human Religion."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's golden Buddha body is completely different from the real person. It is arrogant and domineering, with wide and sweeping moves. The "Wu Hook Double Swords" in his hands fly around, and he actually blocked Confucius in terms of martial arts.

"Hmph! There is a sequence to learning, and those who attain enlightenment come first."

Confucius gave a cold shout, his long sword held horizontally, and at the same time a pagoda rose from above his head, which was the "Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda".

"Hahaha! Is this your idea of ​​'prioritizing the accomplished'? It's more like 'prioritizing the sacred and the divine'!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's benevolent body laughed loudly. He was not in a hurry, but simply stopped Confucius, not seeking merit, but only seeking to avoid mistakes.

"Fellow Daoist, I've come to your aid!"

Unable to break through after a long siege, Confucius was slightly disappointed. Two beams of light flashed from his body, and his good and evil corpses flew out. The three bodies merged together and jointly attacked the good corpse of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

The benevolent corpse of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva chanted a Buddha's name and suddenly manifested a "six-zhang golden body". Various Buddhist implements were waved on his eighteen arms, especially the "Vajra" and "Vajra Bell", which were Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's most precious treasures.

This move actually managed to withstand Confucius's siege.

"Fellow Daoist, I've come to your aid!"

Left with no other choice, Zhuangzi let out a loud shout and flew out of the formation as well.

"Even if your sect has a large number of people, it will be difficult to defeat this poor monk."

Suddenly, a Taoist appeared; it was the evil corpse of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, dressed as a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, and was none other than the former Samantabhadra Immortal.

As soon as the Taoist appeared, he used the "Tai Chi Divine Talisman" to form Yin and Yang energies to protect himself. With a flick of his wrist, the "Rainbow Lock" flew out with a "whoosh" sound, ready to capture Zhuangzi!

This scene left both immortals speechless with astonishment.

Is this still the number three figure in Buddhism that they consider to be?

One man fights against three late-stage Quasi-Saint level experts from the Human Sect!

Such majesty has not been seen in the primordial world for countless years.

The last invincible person was the Chaos Dao Lord!

Now, Daojun has attained enlightenment.

Is it really possible for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to attain enlightenment?

"Lü Dongbin, a life for a life! You are doomed today, why don't you submit to the law immediately?"

Ignoring the battles in the other two locations, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva remained atop the "Three Golden Lotuses," his wisdom sword omnipresent, casually slashing and killing, leaving Lü Dongbin in a sorry state.

"Fellow Daoist, please help me quickly!"

With a loud shout, Lü Dongbin unleashed his good and evil corpses. At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else and was about to use the power of his clones to attack Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

With the arrival of the two reinforcements, Lü Dongbin felt more at ease and shouted, "Whether we can kill this humble Taoist today depends on the Bodhisattva's methods!"

"Buddha, let's join the fight! That cult is shameless, using numbers to bully the few. Do they think our Buddhist sect is without anyone?"

The Lion Buddha, the Famous Buddha, the Radiant Buddha, and others who came with the Sandalwood Merit Buddha all stepped forward and asked for help.

The few who had attained the status of quasi-saints in Buddhism, grieving the death of the White Elephant King, saw the awe-inspiring power of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and realized that their side had a great advantage. They also spoke up, saying, "Buddha, please allow us to assist Samantabhadra Bodhisattva."

"You all must intervene and stop Confucius and Mencius!"

The Buddhist community was filled with fervor, but the Buddha, unable to grant the merit of the sandalwood offering, could only nod in agreement.

"kill!"

Six quasi-saints from the Buddhist sect emerged and charged toward Confucius and Zhuangzi!

As for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, no one went to help him. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva already had a huge advantage. If they went, they would not only be unable to help, but would even distract the Bodhisattva.

"Nine stars aligned!"

Upon seeing this, Hou Yi's expression hardened, and the "Sun-Shooting Divine Bow" flew out. With a "whoosh," he drew the bowstring taut, and nine "Heaven-Shaking Arrows" flew out of the quiver.

"Whoosh!!!"

Nine arrows in quick succession, at an extreme speed.

All the arrows were aimed at Lü Dongbin's benevolent corpse, Emperor Donghua, and his malevolent corpse, True Man Chunyang.

"Oh no! My life is over!"

The two clones were visibly shaken. Hou Yi's archery was unparalleled; those nine arrows were too fast to be stopped.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

When Samantabhadra Bodhisattva saw that Lü Dongbin was about to intervene, his wisdom sword split into three, instantly killing the three men.

Having no other option, Lü Dongbin drew his sword to stop him.

The good and evil corpses had just blocked a few arrows when they were cut in half by the Wisdom Sword!

"puff!"

With his two clones killed, Lü Dongbin spat out a mouthful of blood, swayed, and almost fell to the ground.

"Send my fellow Daoist on his journey to reincarnation!"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva remained unmoved, and with a slash of his wisdom sword, aimed straight at Lü Dongbin's brow.

"Oh no! The Tai Chi diagram, go!"

Confucius was greatly alarmed, never expecting the situation to have deteriorated to this extent.

The "Tai Chi diagram" flew out from his sleeve, shattering the void in an instant and arriving above Lü Dongbin's head.

Strands of chaotic primordial energy descended.

The sword of wisdom struck it, but was bounced back.

"withdraw!"

Confucius shouted, and Lü Dongbin and Zhuangzi gathered together and began to retreat.

"Get them!"

Within the "Two Elements Dust Array," the remaining experts of the Human Sect shouted and activated the array, causing it to move towards them.

"Alas! I never imagined I would almost die at the hands of a junior I didn't even think much of!"

They fought and retreated simultaneously, and both the good and evil corpses died tragically, a loss that still pains Lü Dongbin deeply.

The loss this time was too great. Two clones perished, and it's likely they won't be able to cultivate back to their former state within a great eon.

"Chase!"

Seeing that there was an opportunity to gain an advantage, Hou Yi and Shiva exchanged a smile and led the Wu tribe and demons out to fight their way out.

"Let's do it too!"

Helpless, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha gave an order, and the remaining Buddhists followed him out.

"what……"

With a scream, Zhuangzi's good corpse, the True Man of Nanhua, was caught off guard and pursued, his body instantly torn to pieces.

At this moment, Confucius, Zhuangzi, and Lü Dongbin could no longer care about anything else and fled back to the "Two Elements Dust Array" for their lives.

"Boom!"

Meanwhile, the Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance relentlessly pursued them, launching a terrifying attack together.

In the void, there were supernatural powers, immortal techniques, spells, and laws everywhere, and the void itself became violent.

The "Two Elements Dust Array" trembled continuously from the explosion, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure.

"Initiate the 'Heaven-Destroying Demon Formation'!"

Shiva's voice resounded, and a group of demonic experts understood. They immediately joined together to form a great formation, and the combined power of their forces suddenly increased.

Once the "Heaven-Destroying Demon Array" was successfully set up, it immediately brought with it eerie winds and ghostly howls. Waves of demonic energy surged into the sky, turning the entire void into a demonic kingdom.

"Boom!"

Beams of demonic light shot out from the formation, heading towards the "Two Elements Dust Formation".

Countless low-level immortals within the formation were struck by demonic energy, causing them to go into qi deviation and self-destruct.

This chaotic situation caused heavy losses to the Ren Sect. Some disciples were caught off guard and tragically killed by those around them.

This scene filled the remaining disciples of the Human Sect with fear.

"Let's retreat!"

Zhuangzi looked at Confucius with a sorrowful expression and said helplessly.

"Sigh! I didn't expect the combined power of the Witch, Buddha, and Demon to be so formidable! Let's retreat!"

Confucius had no choice but to bring out the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda" and the "Taiji Diagram" and integrate them into the formation to strengthen its defensive capabilities, thus blocking the combined attack of the three parties.

"Forget it! Don't chase after them!"

After fighting for a while, seeing that he really couldn't defeat the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda" and the "Taiji Diagram", Hou Yi could only reluctantly announce a retreat.

Although the Human Sect was not completely annihilated, the fact that two of their top-tier powerful cultivators were seriously injured and that tens of thousands of low-level immortals and cultivators died tragically is already an extremely brilliant achievement.

Meanwhile, the Qin Empire's army swept through the enemy lines like a whirlwind, and like the immortals of the alliance, once again drove the Tang Empire's army thousands of miles away.

Unable to find a way to heal their wounds, they could only set up camp at the "Western Region Pass," two thousand miles away.

The Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance was not in a hurry to catch up. They waited for the army to rest before continuing their advance.

The battle in Dongsheng Shenzhou was so fierce that even Chaos Daojun was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Bodhisattva Samantabhadra could have reached this point.

If he had not attained enlightenment, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had reached this point, Chaos Dao Lord would surely have been determined to kill him, just as he had done to Shakyamuni Buddha.

At this time, having attained enlightenment for many years and surpassed many established saints in cultivation, he naturally no longer cared whether Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's cultivation had improved.

Even if one severs the three corpses and becomes a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal, so what?

Wouldn't it be easy to kill him?

This Chaos Dao Lord still possesses a certain level of confidence.

He focused more on his Daoist partner. Over the years, Fairy Yunxiao had made great progress in comprehending the "Primordial Purple Qi".

With the second corpse having completed its cultivation, the third corpse also began to have thoughts.

This is what Chaos Daoist values ​​most: if his Daoist partner becomes the seventh Primordial Boundless Saint in the prehistoric world, then the strength of the Jie Sect will be unprecedented.

Even if other forces unite, they cannot shake the foundation of the Jie Sect.

On the continent of Dongsheng, the Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance has gained the upper hand, and the situation is developing in their favor.

Soon, the news reached Jambudvipa.

The Yuan Empire, which was originally at a disadvantage, was given a shot of adrenaline, and its morale soared again.

The Dragon Clan and the Tantric Sect stabilized the situation, and reinforcements from the Ghost Clan from the Nine Netherworlds also joined in.

At this point, the Dragon Clan dared not settle old scores with the Ghost Clan, and could only swallow their pride and choose to fight against the Intercepting Sect together.

A large-scale war is unlikely to break out.

In the last great battle, the abilities of Yuan Hong, the Six-Eared Macaque, Sun Wukong, and Wuzhiqi terrified the allied forces. The important figures valued their lives and naturally did not want to fight a decisive battle with the Jie Sect.

Small-scale harassment by the Ghost Clan and the Demonic Sect has become the mainstream strategy.

Many vengeful spirits and demons were released by these turtle clans and demonic sects and entered various parts of the Ming Empire.

For a time, tens of thousands of ghosts and monsters relentlessly harassed every corner of the empire, causing great suffering to many people.

During the day, it is the world of humans. In some places, people dare not go out at night, and ghosts are wandering the streets.

This situation greatly depleted the strength of the Ming Empire.

This greatly displeased Zhu Yuanzhang, who summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Ji submitted a memorial stating, "These ghosts have never attained enlightenment and harm those who cannot cultivate the Dao. It would be better if Your Majesty issued an edict to recruit cultivators from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks to enter the Empire and, by prefecture and county, exterminate these ghosts one by one."

"Your words are reasonable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Liu Bowen's advice, but in the following three years, the rampant ghosts were not only not contained, but also affected more ordinary people.

Ordinary vengeful ghosts are nothing more than cannon fodder among the ghost race.

These vengeful ghosts are as numerous as you want. Kill one batch, and the ghost race will release two more. How could a cultivator possibly keep up?

These Qi cultivators who came for the rewards from the human emperors were mostly at the Refining Essence into Qi or Refining Qi into Spirit realms. They didn't have much cultivation to begin with. After each attack, they needed to rest for a while, which was far less efficient than the Ghost Clan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious about this and severely reprimanded Liu Bowen.

At this time, Liu Bowen's wife died. Coupled with setbacks in his career and the grief of losing his wife, Liu Bowen was disheartened and requested to resign and return to his hometown. (End of Chapter)
