Chapter 581: Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation

"Ten Thousand Poison Demon King, they're here, aren't you leaving?"

"The Great Qi Dynasty's Black Dragon Guard is fully mobilized, and also Qi Mingyu, a Golden Core Strong One; although you and I are not afraid of them, the number of Condensed Core practitioners has increased, making it hard for us to deal with them."

"How about we retreat first, then slowly find a way into Wangdu, and start dismantling it from within?"

The plague beast Mu Longhao wants to flee; there are so many Black Dragon Guard, all Condensed Core‑level Strong Ones, these people are the foundation of the Great Qi Dynasty; many died before, and now there are still quite a few.

If we could devour those people, how great, but alas, our lives are precious.

If we truly clash head‑on with those people, Mu Longhao can't endure it and might even risk a fall.

When the number of Condensed Cores reaches a certain amount, and with some Formation reinforcement, the power they can unleash is extremely strong, especially for a foundation‑rich dynasty like the Great Qi Dynasty; battle formations are fundamental, and once Condensed Core Strong Ones set up a battle Formation, the two of them truly have no return.

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King sneers: "What are you afraid of? I'm here, you needn't worry."

"Mu Longhao, your courage is too small; this won't do. As a True Realm Strong One—oh, right, you're not that now, you lack Golden Core power either."

Indeed, the plague beast Mu Longhao's strength hasn't recovered; it's only at the peak of Internal Core, not Golden Core.

The strength is a bit lacking; facing so many people is truly… deadly.

However, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King doesn't care about that.

"Ten Thousand Poison Demon King, watch your tone, hum." Mu Longhao got angry; even though his strength is weakened, given time he can recover.

Golden Core is just basic; if you swallow those Condensed Core cultivators, not only Golden Core but even True Realm could be possible.

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King quickly apologizes: "Ah ha ha, my humble mistake, you needn't mind, my inadvertent error, you won't mind, will you?"

Mu Longhao rolled his eyes at the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King; the two bickering, they saw the dense Black Dragon Guard approaching, the killing aura arrived before the people.

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu landed immediately, standing before them, without acting right away.

He stared around, always feeling something was off.

Behind him, Jing Yuheng and others fell behind; the White Wolf Deputy Hall Master and the Azure Dragon Deputy Hall Master fixed their gaze on where the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King stood. A demon‑subduing staff was planted on the ground, and a strange feeling rippled around. The Azure Dragon Deputy Hall Master whispered, "Master, be careful, there seems to be a Formation ahead."

"Formation?"

The Azure Dragon Deputy Hall Master said seriously, "Indeed, it's the aura of some Formation, very dangerous."

"I suspect it's a Formation from the old Ten Thousand Buddha Temple; once entered, we may be transformed."

"This demon has obtained the true transmission of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, not to be underestimated."

The White Wolf Deputy Hall Master stared at the staff, saying, "Master, that is the demon‑subduing staff from the old Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, a top‑grade Spiritual Artifact, with great power and imbued with strong demon‑subduing force."

"Who would have thought such a weapon, controlled by the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King, is truly laughable."

A venerable Buddhist treasure, falling into the demon king's hands, became his weapon.

"Isn't this mockery?"

The inheritance of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, in the end, will be inherited by a demon king; truly laughable.

"Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation."

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu uttered it haltingly, recognizing the Formation before him; that demon‑subduing staff began to enlarge, becoming a massive pillar, ten meters tall.

A layer of Buddha light blossomed on the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King's body, soaring skyward.

The Buddha light spread; beneath the hidden ground around, several demon‑subduing staffs rose up from the earth.

The huge pillars rose, surrounding them.

These pillars had long been buried underground; the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King spread his arms, Buddha light enveloped them, and on each pillar, as if a Buddha appeared, chanting began.

At the top of each pillar, a carved golden Buddha emerged, as if alive, beginning to chant.

The chanting echoed, and everyone's complexion turned grim.

They were surrounded.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation rose, encircling them, and aiming to surround Wangdu as well.

Above Wangdu, the Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon roared, shattering the Buddha light.

Qi Ruohua crossed his arms, controlling the Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon, resisting the Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation.

"Hum, trying to transform the entire Wangdu is a fool's dream."

"Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon, blast it for me."

"Roar."

The Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon roared, baring fangs and claws, intending to tear the entire Formation apart.

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King laughed, "Mu Longhao, master, I leave it to you."

Mu Longhao didn't want to fight that Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon; it was courting death.

Qi Ruohua took control of the Great Qi Dynasty and the Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon; when she hastily succeeded the throne, she couldn't master it, but some tactics of the previous generation Qihuang allowed her to obtain it; shielding Wangdu is no issue, but below the True Realm she cannot break through.

Although the Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon has weakened a lot, it remains the Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon, an unstoppable existence.

There is also Qi Ruohua, and within Wangdu, other Strong Ones are hidden.

He doesn't want to go.

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King laughed, "If you don't go, then you'll have to stay and deal with them."

Two choices, you decide.

Either duel the Fortune‑bearing Golden Dragon, resisting Qi Ruohua's attack.

Or fight the hundreds of elite Condensed Core cultivators before you, plus two Golden Core‑level Strong Ones, and two peak Internal Core Strong Ones.

Many Condensed Core masters, exuding killing aura, all emerged from piles of corpses.

None of these people are easy to handle.

Even with Formation suppression, it's still… very dangerous.

"You…"

Mu Longhao finally understood he'd been plotted against; now he can't run away, the Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation has not only trapped the opponent but also him; he must either fight or stay within the Formation and be forcibly transformed.

He wants to run, but he can't get away.

"Mu Longhao, benefactor, please make your choice."

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King clasped his hands, wearing a benevolent expression."

"Seeing that face, Mu Longhao couldn't help but feel angry, but he knew that at this moment, doing anything was useless."

"\"Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, this debt—I will settle it with you later. \""

"\"Hahaha, we'll talk about it then. \""

"Mu Longhao shot up into the sky, facing the Fortune Golden Dragon, as well as Qi Ruohua behind him."

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King walked straight out, knowing that Mu Longhao would make that choice."

"The Subduing Demon Pestle vibrated, suppressing the entire formation; the Black Dragon Guards attacking the formation were all blocked."

"\"Benefactors, why not take refuge in the Buddha and cultivate the Buddhist Dharma together? The position of Buddha and Arhats will soon be within reach. \""

"Jing Yuheng said gloomily: \"Hmph, Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, you're courting death. \""

"Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu said coldly: \"Mighty Demon King, you actually ended up becoming a Buddhist practitioner—truly laughable. \""

"\"Refining people into Buddhas, using people as food—you've taken the wrong path, Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King. \""

"Buddhist Dharma is not cultivated this way."

"His path is clearly wrong."

"Upon hearing this, the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King laughed loudly: \"Hahaha. \""

"\"Qi Mingyu, you are a smart person; whether it's Buddhist Dharma or demonic arts, as long as it can increase cultivation and strength, I will use it. \""

"\"And you, Fifth Prince, are you truly willing to spend your whole life like this? \""

"\"To spend a lifetime suppressed by a woman, without freedom. \""
