I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

The 108 top monks, who were already prepared, immediately took their positions and formed a neat array. Their auras were connected, their power surged, and all their strength was absorbed by the great array, converging into a phantom of an Arhat several meters tall, with golden light shining all over his body, standing between heaven and earth!

The illusory Arhat had indifferent eyes and a body that was as if it had been forged from molten iron, making it indestructible. With a punch, the wind from the punch was like thunder, which forcefully smashed the Great Ape King away. The giant ape spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and fell heavily into the sea!

"kill!"

In just one breath, the Great Ape King leaped out of the sea, soaking wet and with blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew even more bloodshot and ferocious!

With a swift grab, he condensed tens of thousands of tons of seawater into a giant ball, which he slammed down on the illusory figure of the Arhat. At the same time, the Ruyi Cudgel in his hand grew hundreds of meters in length, transforming into a giant pillar as thick as a water bucket, and crashed down with the force of Mount Tai!

boom!

A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the illusory Arhat. He threw a punch, and the boundless golden light shattered the giant seawater mass. Then, with his bare hands, he went straight to meet the Ruyi Cudgel!

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out, and the Great Ape King was once again violently thrown back, crashing heavily into the sea, instantly staining the water red with his blood.

It took him seven or eight breaths before he burst out of the sea again, staggering, covered in blood, his golden hair dull and showing signs of exhaustion. But his eyes still burned with overwhelming fighting spirit, showing no sign of surrender!

"Let's do it!"

Yuan Kong wanted to use words to coerce him further, but seeing his defiant eyes, he swallowed all his words.

This monkey will never fall unless it bleeds out its last drop of blood!

Even though Yuan Kong was full of scheming, he couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration at this moment. But this admiration only strengthened his determination to bring the Great Ape King into the Buddhist sect!

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he ordered again, "Go all out and suppress this beast!"

Twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls lit up simultaneously, and a dazzling white light connected them, converging into a world-destroying power that swept towards the Great Ape King.

Hundreds of cultivators threw out their magical artifacts, unleashing their strongest attacks, with the sky filled with Buddhist light and bone-chilling baleful energy;

The illusory image of the Arhat also made another move, his punch containing the power of heaven and earth, crushing down!

Even the sea behind them was infected by this terrifying atmosphere, roaring and surging with towering waves, as if it wanted to devour this world!

The Great Ape King, wielding his Ruyi Jingu Bang, stood proudly in the void, his fangs bared and his face ferocious. Even though he was covered in wounds and exhausted to the point of collapse, he still charged forward fiercely!

But in the end, he could not withstand the attack from three sides. The white light of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl struck his chest first, and the enormous force sent him flying!

He mustered his last strength and plunged the Ruyi Jingu Bang deep into the seabed rock, gripping the staff tightly with both hands to barely maintain his balance. But the phantom of the Arhat's fist came one after another, with a series of cracking sounds. Most of his bones were broken, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out teeth and blood!

Finally, the strongest attack from hundreds of monks came crashing down like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering the Great Ape King's defenses!

Even with his indestructible body, he could not withstand such a severe injury. He was once again blasted into the sea, and a giant wave swept in, completely engulfing him.

All the Buddhist monks stopped their attacks and waited patiently.

For a good dozen breaths, the sea remained calm, and the Great Ape King never appeared again.

"Thank goodness, we've finally captured this beast!"

Yuan Kong breathed a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face. No one expected that besieging a giant ape king at its last gasp would be so difficult. This monkey had turned the tables several times, killing and injuring many cultivators. To unleash such power from its exhausted body was simply monstrous!

Zhihong personally dived into the sea, and soon emerged dragging the Great Ape King, covered in blood and barely breathing.

The giant ape was covered in blood, its golden fur completely lost its shine, its bones were broken, and it could not move. It only had a faint breath left, but its eyes were still defiant and stared at Yuan Kong and the others!

Zhi Hong felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze and instinctively looked away, turning to Yuan Kong: "Senior Brother, this beast is severely injured. What should we do with it?"

Yuan Kong looked down upon the Great Ape King with the gaze of someone looking down upon ants, his tone resolute: "Forcefully convert him! Such a powerful being must not be wasted!"

Immediately, a monk stepped forward, draped a Buddhist robe over the Great Ape King, forcibly helped him up, pressed him to kneel on the ground, and made him appear as if he were devoutly converting to Buddhism.

Yuan Kong was extremely satisfied with this scene. From now on, this monkey with overwhelming combat power would belong to the Buddhist sect!

He took out a gleaming golden hoop, a smug smile on his face, and slowly walked towards the Great Ape King: "From this day forward, you are no longer the Great Ape King of the Demon Clan, but a Buddhist practitioner. I will accept you as my disciple and bestow upon you the Dharma name—Wutong! Your conversion to Buddhism is your destiny; you will surely attain enlightenment in the future!"

The golden headband was slowly placed on the Great Ape King's head. The power of the Buddhist treasure spread instantly, and the violent aura in his eyes suddenly dissipated. He slowly closed his eyes, put his hands together, and all his ferocity vanished, becoming gentle and completely different from his previous rage.

"Wutong, put on the cassock and let your master see it!"

Yuan Kong burst into laughter, and all the Buddhist cultivators cheered along with him, their hearts filled with the joy of success.

Even if it offends the underworld, it's worth it to defeat the Great Ape King!

They were secretly pleased, thinking that with the addition of the Great Ape King, a top-tier combatant, the prestige of Buddhism would surely rise to a new level.

The Great Ape King reached out and grabbed the Buddhist robe on his body, about to put it on, as if he had already willingly become a puppet of Buddhism.

At this critical moment, a furious roar that shook his very soul suddenly exploded in his ears!

"You are not some enlightened being! You are the supreme Great Ape King of the Monkey King Island demon race!"

"With a single sweep of my staff, I traverse heaven and earth, free and unrestrained, a demon in my own right!"

"You dared to gamble with the City God, dared to fight to the death with Asuras, you were born unruly, how could you allow your memories to be tampered with! Wake up!!!"

The last two words struck him like thunder, roaring wildly in his mind and shaking the heavens and earth!

Click!

The golden headband that imprisoned his mind shattered inch by inch under this roar, turning into flying debris!

"I am not enlightened!"

"I am the Great Ape King!"

"How can I give up like this!"

He suddenly looked up, his fierce aura soaring to the sky. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his body bursting up, and he slammed his head hard into Yuan Kong's chest!

This scene shocked everyone!

In everyone's eyes, the Great Ape King had already been converted and was a sure thing for the Buddhist sect. Who could have imagined that a peerless master would secretly intervene, breaking the seal with a roar and causing the Great Ape King to fully awaken!

Yuan Kong was caught completely off guard and felt as if an ancient divine mountain had struck his chest!

A terrifying force erupted, shattering his bones instantly, and he was violently thrown away like a kite with a broken string!

"You...you..."

Yuan Kong coughed up blood, pointed at the Great Ape King, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

Why did it suddenly break free of control when it had already been completely converted?

"Shameless Buddhist sect, how dare they resort to such underhanded tactics!"

Zhong Jiu was furious. He had originally planned to settle scores with the Buddhist sect later and let them know the price of killing someone by using the underworld as a weapon.

But now, the Great Ape King was exhausted and injured while helping the Underworld, and the Buddhist sect took advantage of his weakness to almost become a puppet. He absolutely cannot tolerate this!

Zhong Jiu's body surged with murderous aura, and he was about to make a move to wipe out all the Buddhist cultivators and eradicate the five Buddhist sects as before!

Just then, the Great Ape King's voice suddenly entered my ears: "Lord City God, there's no need to take action. Spare their lives! Once I recover, I'll personally storm their mountain gate and avenge myself!"

A raging fire burned within the Great Ape King's chest!

Since his birth on Monkey King Island, he has never hated a group of people so much. He will never forget these hypocritical Buddhists!

Zhong Jiu pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Very well, since you've spoken, these people will be yours to kill personally!"

He had already made up his mind that the five sects of Buddhism would surely be destroyed!

The monkey, burdened by such obsession, personally pays for its blood debt. This will not hinder its cultivation; on the contrary, it will allow it to break through its current realm and advance further.

Since the Buddhist sect dared to use him to destroy the Taoist sect, then he would make the five sects of Buddhism the whetstone for the Great Ape King to ascend to the top!

With a wave of his sleeve, Zhong Jiu swept up the Great Ape King and his Ruyi Cudgel, sending them flying straight out of the formation!

Upon seeing this, Zhihong was terrified and screamed, "Quick! Stop him!"

The Buddhist monks immediately activated the formation, and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls spun wildly, converging with divine light, attempting to block their path.

"act recklessly!"

A cold sneer echoed through the void, resounding throughout heaven and earth.

The next moment, a colossal divine seal, comparable to a city, descended from the sky, its power overwhelming for eternity, and the four large characters "Star Sand City God" on the bottom of the seal shone brightly!

"It's the City God of Xingsha!"

Zhihong's face was ashen, and his body went limp.

All the Buddhist monks were shocked and terrified. This wicked star had actually come in person and was even trying to protect the Great Ape King!

With the City God of Xingsha backing him up, who in the world can touch this monkey?

Despair instantly overwhelmed everyone!
