Chapter 16

"Ksitigarbha, you are quite good," Guanyin said with a calm expression. "It's just that your strength has only just entered the Quasi-Saint level. During your time in the underworld, do you think your strength can surpass ours?"

"So, turn back now."

As soon as the words fell, a jade hand covering the sky appeared above the void.

Tathagata Palm.

That is one of the great supernatural powers of the Buddhist sect.

At this moment, Guanyin erupted with true power.

"Demon Dao, Heavenly Demon Kingdom."

Ksitigarbha threw a punch, and the vast demonic energy shook the universe, and the law power of heaven and earth was also quickly worn away.

One could see the jade hand of Guanyin in the void also being quickly eroded.

"Is this the power of the Demon Dao?" Guanyin took a deep breath. "I cannot hold back. Manjushri, Samantabhadra, let's attack together."

"Good..." The three looked at each other.

Since Ksitigarbha had fallen into the demonic path, even if Guanyin and the others killed him, the Buddha Tathagata would have nothing to say.

"Jade Purity Saint Law... Jade Purity Divine Thunder."

Guanyin shouted in a low voice, and rays of terrifying lightning power instantly appeared in heaven and earth.

That was the Jade Purity Divine Thunder that could destroy heaven and earth.

As one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun, the Jade Purity Saint Law he taught to the Twelve Golden Immortals back then was not something that the techniques of the two Western Saints could compare to.

That was a Saint's method formed by Yuanshi Tianzun combining Hongjun's preaching and some power inherited as Pangu's primordial spirit. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====

"Jade Purity Divine Thunder."

Manjushri and Samantabhadra saw Guanyin attack, and they did the same.

As the former Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, they still had some understanding of each other's strength.

More importantly, these few people were all Quasi-Saint powerhouses.

Although, compared to Ksitigarbha, the time they had stepped into the Quasi-Saint level was not too long.

After all, during the Investiture of the Gods, most of the Twelve Golden Immortals were only at the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After joining the Buddhist sect, relying on the merit and fortune obtained from the Buddhist sect, they were able to break through to Quasi-Saint.

But no matter what, compared to Ksitigarbha, the harvest they obtained in the Buddhist sect was greater.

Otherwise, why would they leave such a good Chan Sect and insist on coming to the Buddhist sect? That would not make sense.

For Guanyin, Manjushri, and others, the title of Buddhist Buddha had no driving force to attract them; improving strength was their original driving force.

Becoming a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, or even having the opportunity to attain the Hunyuan and become a Saint.

Perhaps, the Buddha Tathagata, the former senior brother of the Jie Sect, Duobao Daoren, should have had such thoughts to some extent.

Of course, back then the Jie Sect was defeated, and Duobao became the Western Tathagata; to some extent, it was a last resort.

This is the general trend of heaven and earth.

The three Jade Purity Divine Thunders combined, and the demonic energy released by Ksitigarbha also made a hissing sound, unable to withstand the destruction of the divine thunder's light.

"Ksitigarbha, with this strike, this seat will send you back to the underworld to enter reincarnation," Guanyin said domineeringly.

At this time, Guanyin no longer had the compassionate appearance from before.

As a powerhouse of the Chan Sect back then, the number of living beings who died at his hands was unknown.

A compassionate heart was just a facade Guanyin gave to humanity.

"Jade Purity Divine Thunder." Ksitigarbha's eyes were solemn.

It could be said that this strike from Guanyin and the others was enough to severely injure an ordinary Quasi-Saint powerhouse.

After all, that was the combined strike of three Quasi-Saints.

Even as Ksitigarbha, he needed to go all out to deal with the other party's attack.

"Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, what is this? As Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect, you don't use the techniques of the Buddhist sect, but actually use the techniques of the Daoist sect. Are you still Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect?" Ksitigarbha sneered.

"Ksitigarbha, the laws of the heavens all lead to the same destination. The techniques of the Daoist sect only allow me to study the Buddhist dharma more thoroughly," Guanyin said lightly. "So, Ksitigarbha, this seat will properly convert you."

"Thunder falls..."

I saw the Jade Purity Divine Thunder above the firmament turn into a silver light that split the world and fell down.

The demonic energy on Ksitigarbha's body was directly destroyed.

"Demon Dao, Power of the Heavens' Gods and Demons."

At the same time, the Heart of the Demon on Ksitigarbha's body was operating violently, and his body was constantly expanding.

There were countless strange scales densely covering his body.

Between heaven and earth, a terrifying demonic body appeared here.

"Demonic fire destroys the world..."

That god and demon, covering the sky and the sun, stretched out its massive giant hand, and pitch-black flames rippled out, shrouding tens of thousands of miles in pitch-black firelight.

That was power enough to destroy the world.

"Boom..."

The Jade Purity Divine Thunder and the demonic fire collided violently.

Heaven and earth rippled, and the earth appeared with huge cracks.

The entire Lingshan was shrouded in this terrifying power, and the Arhats and Bodhisattvas on Lingshan all had expressions of horror.

What kind of terrifying power is this?

Huoyun Cave.

The place where the three human emperors reside.

It can be said that the three emperors are the last power of the human race, the last trump card.

And the three emperors are respectively called the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, the Earthly Emperor Shennong, and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Heavenly Emperor Fuxi was one of the big shots of the Demon Race back then; after the war between the Wu and Demon races, he reincarnated into the human race and became the Heavenly Emperor.

Shennong and Xuanyuan were both members of the human race; under the shroud of the human race's great fortune, they both cultivated to become Quasi-Saint powerhouses.

Afterward, they all guarded Huoyun Cave, protecting the human race.

"A great battle has broken out on Lingshan." Human Emperor Xuanyuan frowned and looked at Xiniu Hezhou, where the Great Lei Yinsi was located.

"Yes, that person who was emanating Demon Dao aura is on Lingshan," Shennong said slowly.

"If possible, that Demon Dao person would be best to defeat Lingshan and properly step on those Buddhist sect members," Human Emperor Xuanyuan's gaze shifted.

Regarding the Buddhist sect members, Xuanyuan was very unhappy.

After all, within the human race, the Buddhist sect's preaching is now very frequent, and most of the entire human world believes in the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the Buddhist sect.

What "saving all living beings"—to Xuanyuan, that was a joke.

This is the Buddhist sect's way of controlling human faith.

But sometimes, as a Quasi-Saint, Xuanyuan could not do anything.

Because the strength of the Buddhist sect was too strong.

And the strength of humanity was too weak; they could only serve as the last bottom line and the last trump card of the human race.

"Xuanyuan, we all understand this point, but although that Demon Dao powerhouse is strong, the Great Lei Yinsi has Tathagata, the Buddha Tathagata," Fuxi shook his head. "He is no longer inferior to those old-school Quasi-Saint powerhouses."

Old-school Quasi-Saint powerhouses.

That is like the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, the Styx Ancestor of the Nether Sea of Blood, Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, and so on.

Buddha Tathagata can also be considered one of their members.

"Tathagata, worthy of being the former senior disciple of the Jie Sect." Shennong also sighed.

When will the fate of humanity be in their own hands, rather than placed on the so-called gods and Buddhas?

Will this day come?

Shennong and the other three emperors, they did not know.

Deep within the Heavenly Court, in the courtyard of a palace.

Haotian sat leisurely on a stone chair, with a mirror filled with countless law powers floating in mid-air.

That is the Haotian Mirror, Haotian's magic treasure for attaining the Dao.

It can be said that as this treasure possessed by Haotian, it can allow Haotian to watch everything in the Three Realms.

Naturally, in some places, shrouded by the power of Quasi-Saints, Haotian would not be too presumptuous.

But now, he was very interested. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
