Chapter 312: Enemy of Buddha

Maitreya Buddha did not answer; his whole person stiffened on the lotus pedestal, as if nailed by something.

He sensed that in the dark, within the Fomen's luck river, which was as vast as the sea, a portion had suddenly been polluted by something.

That thing was ancient, violent, and carried an aura that annihilated all things.

That was the luck of the Demon Dao!

Maitreya Buddha suddenly remembered what the thing he sensed was, and stood up abruptly.

"Impossible..." Maitreya's voice was filled with disbelief.

Since Demon Ancestor Luo Hou fell long ago, there had been no True Demons in the Three Realms, and the luck of the Demon Dao had dissipated completely during the immeasurable kalpa; this was a fixed conclusion between heaven and earth.

How could the luck of the Demon Dao suddenly emerge?

"World Honored One!" The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng, seeing Maitreya lose his composure, asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the hall all changed color; they had never seen Maitreya Buddha lose his composure like this.

Maitreya Buddha did not answer Ran Deng's question.

He made a decision; he had to calculate what had happened.

Maitreya Buddha formed seals with both hands, his cultivation at the peak of the Semi-Sage level pouring out without reservation.

He not only channeled his own cultivation but also drew upon the Fomen's luck of Lingshan.

That was the vast luck power gathered by the devout offerings of thousands of believers.

Maitreya, as the contemporary World Honored One of the Fomen, had the right to mobilize it.

"World Honored One, do not be reckless!" The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng's complexion changed drastically, reaching out to stop him.

But it was already too late.

Maitreya Buddha's calculation had already begun.

At this moment, Maitreya's mind was entirely focused on the calculation; the heavenly secrets after the descent of the kalpa were already turbid, but at this moment, with the help of the Fomen's luck, he still saw some things.

He saw that in the Fomen's luck river, there was a gray storm that had just been born.

At the center of the storm, a dark golden light was expanding crazily.

That was the newly born luck of the Demon Dao, just born, yet already possessing the momentum to swallow the heavens.

Maitreya Buddha channeled his divine ability, wanting to see clearly why that luck of the Demon Dao was born.

But just as he approached that demonic cloud, the next moment, the laws of the Heavenly Dao descended.

That was not a divine ability cast by anyone, but the operation of the Heavenly Dao itself.

All things grow and restrain each other; the Buddha Dao is Yang, and the Demon Dao is Yin.

When the luck of the Demon Dao descends to the world again, the laws of the Heavenly Dao will automatically provide it with initial protection until the newly born luck of the Demon Dao gradually stabilizes.

This was the most primitive rule between heaven and earth.

Maitreya Buddha realized at this moment what a huge mistake he had made.

He should not have used the Fomen's luck to touch the newly born luck of the Demon Dao at this time.

This was equivalent to opening the door and letting a robber into the house.

"Boom!"

The gray storm exploded.

The luck of the Demon Dao, with the protection of the Heavenly Dao laws, poured back crazily along the channel established when Maitreya Buddha calculated!

That power was not aimed at Maitreya Buddha, but at the Fomen's luck of Lingshan connected behind him.

Maitreya's complexion changed drastically; he naturally could not let that luck of the Demon Dao pollute the Fomen's luck.

He channeled his cultivation with all his might, wanting to block the sweeping luck of the Demon Dao with his own power.

But at this time, the newly born luck of the Demon Dao had the protection of the Heavenly Dao, and even someone as strong as Maitreya could not resist it.

Maitreya Buddha let out a miserable scream.

Two streams of golden Buddha blood flowed from his eyes, streaming down his face.

His massive body fell straight from the nine-grade lotus pedestal, crashing heavily onto the golden brick floor of the great hall.

At the same time, outside the Great Lei Yinsi, in the Merit Pool of Lingshan, several more golden lotuses withered and fell, and the Fomen's luck was swallowed by that luck of the Demon Dao once again.

The entire Great Lei Yinsi hall was in dead silence.

The numerous Bodhisattvas, Jin Gang, and Luo Hans were all dumbfounded; they still didn't know what had happened even at this point.

Why would the World Honored One of the Fomen, Maitreya Buddha at the peak of the Semi-Sage level, inexplicably get injured and fall from the lotus pedestal?

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng flashed and caught the falling Maitreya.

Maitreya Buddha's aura was extremely withered, his complexion ashen, golden blood continuously spilling from the corners of his mouth.

In order to protect the Fomen's luck from being polluted, he had been injured at the source by the backlash of that luck of the Demon Dao.

Even worse, his forced protection had not been very effective, and the Fomen's luck of Lingshan had still been damaged due to his reckless move.

"World Honored One!" Ran Deng supported Maitreya and asked hurriedly, "What did you sense!"

Maitreya Buddha's hands gripped Ran Deng's arm tightly; he panted for several breaths before speaking:

"True Demon..."

"A True Demon has descended to the world." Maitreya Buddha looked into Ran Deng's eyes, his complexion incomparably solemn. "A great enemy of the Fomen has appeared."

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng's pupils shrank upon hearing Maitreya's words.

"Are you certain?"

"I saw the newly born luck of the Demon Dao with my own eyes." Maitreya Buddha closed his eyes, his voice carrying bitterness. "That luck was just born, but it is growing extremely fast. The Heavenly Dao is protecting it. Buddha Ran Deng, the inheritance of the ancient Demon Sect has not been cut off."

The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng was silent for several breaths, and after supporting Maitreya back to sit on the lotus pedestal, he turned to look at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the hall.

"Pass down the order: Lingshan is to enter a state of alert; all disciples of the Fomen are to be vigilant against the invasion of external enemies."

Ran Deng, the Future Buddha who held the reins of the Fomen, began to actively take over the affairs of the Fomen after Maitreya was injured, arranging deployments.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas pressed their palms together and exited the hall one after another, arranging various matters according to Ran Deng's instructions. ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
