Chapter 99

Precisely because of this, in just a short period of time, Fomen's power had been constantly expanding until now.

As long as after this Journey to the West Great Calamity, Fomen's strength would likely surpass the other two major forces.

Leaving these aside, Great Emperor Zhenwu on Mount Huaguo already had a bad feeling in his heart after feeling this terrifying demonic power.

The demonic power Sun Wukong stimulated was left behind by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, a top Quasi-Saint.

In this heaven and earth, there might be many demons, but the power of the demonic path.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was a big shot who understood the power of the demonic path only second to Luohou.

So even if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva only left behind a portion of his power, it was enough for Sun Wukong to release the strength of a Quasi-Saint.

Of course, if Sun Wukong's own strength was only Golden Immortal or Taiyi, he would find it very difficult to master such power.

But Sun Wukong's current strength was Da Luo Golden Immortal, and he was an outstanding one among Da Luo Golden Immortals.

This allowed him to briefly master Quasi-Saint power.

"Sun Wukong, you have a connection with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Great Emperor Zhenwu said in a deep voice.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, a Fomen Bodhisattva who entered the demonic path, was a Quasi-Saint powerhouse; even if Great Emperor Zhenwu was called the number one Da Luo, he might be able to contend slightly with some cultivators who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

But contending with Ksitigarbha was completely impossible.

Of course, Sun Wukong was not Ksitigarbha; he only inherited a portion of Ksitigarbha's power.

But this was enough to surpass those who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

Even if the use of this power could not last for a long time, it was extremely dangerous for him, Zhenwu.

"Connection with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong, shrouded in demonic energy, had an inexplicable smile. "Old man Zhenwu, you don't need to worry about that."

"Now, let me see if you can block my attack."

Sun Wukong didn't talk nonsense and turned into a black light, charging toward Great Emperor Zhenwu.

Sun Wukong understood that stimulating Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's power could briefly cause his strength to surge, but this also had a time limit.

It was impossible for him to use this Quasi-Saint power forever.

On one hand, because this was not Sun Wukong's own power, there would always be a day when it was exhausted.

On the other hand, using Quasi-Saint power also required Sun Wukong's own body to bear it.

Fortunately, the current Sun Wukong was already a Da Luo powerhouse, and coupled with stimulating the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline, this gave his body enough bearing capacity.

So there was no need to worry too much about the body not being able to bear it.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary Da Luo, directly using Quasi-Saint power would also be very dangerous.

"Boom..."

The astonishing demonic energy was raging, and heaven and earth suddenly fell into pitch black; this was completely like the end of the world.

Vaguely, blood-red light was mixed in the black light.

This was the power generated by the fusion of demonic energy and the Chaos Demon Ape's blood-evil aura.

Under this terrifying power, heaven and earth seemed to be collapsing.

The heavenly soldiers who were far away from this battlefield fell from the sky one after another like dumplings.

This was just the influence produced by the aftermath of the power.

"Quasi-Saint power," Yang Jian's expression was ugly. "Sun Wukong actually has a connection with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

If Ksitigarbha was still a member of Fomen, he certainly wouldn't do such a thing, but Ksitigarbha betrayed Fomen and even attacked Lingshan back then.

This made Ksitigarbha's choice a mystery.

"Is this a Quasi-Saint?" Nezha muttered to himself. "Such powerful strength, just the aura of the power makes me feel like I'm about to fall into the demonic path."

"Ksitigarbha." Guanyin frowned.

Could it be that Sun Wukong was related to the Fomen Great Calamity, which was why Ksitigarbha intervened?

This was what Guanyin was thinking at the moment.

If it were one-on-one, he, Guanyin, was not as good as the current Ksitigarbha.

Originally, the strength of the two might have been on par, but after Ksitigarbha entered the demonic path, his strength had an incremental increase.

Within Fomen, not many people could suppress Ksitigarbha.

"Guanyin, could Ksitigarbha be on Mount Huaguo?" Manjushri Bodhisattva said with some fear.

Now there were only Guanyin and him here; wanting to deal with Ksitigarbha seemed to be beyond their reach.

Back then, he, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Guanyin—the three of them—couldn't deal with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

As for that Long-Eared Dingguang Buddha next to them.

Well, he was directly forgotten by Ksitigarbha, Guanyin, and the others.

The long-eared one, who was merely at the Da Luo Golden Immortal level, couldn't deal with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Manjushri, don't worry." Guanyin's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head. "Even if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is here, we don't need to worry too much; back then, facing the Buddha, although Ksitigarbha escaped, he was also seriously injured, and that's not something that can be recovered in a short time."

The stronger the strength, if one is injured, the longer the time needed to recover, and the more genius treasures needed.

This was also the reason why Guanyin believed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's injuries could not be recovered in the short term.

If he, Guanyin, were afraid of the injured Ksitigarbha, that would be a joke.

After all, he, Guanyin, was also one of the top big shots in Fomen.

If he were afraid of the heavily injured Ksitigarbha, he would be unworthy of being a Fomen big shot.

"Hmm, that's right." Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded; he also thought of this point.

Back then, although Ksitigarbha escaped from the Buddha, he also paid a great price.

After all, as the Buddha, Tathagata was a truly top Quasi-Saint powerhouse; even those veteran Quasi-Saint powerhouses had many fears regarding this Fomen Buddha.

That was also the case.

Mount Huaguo.

The boundless demonic energy was raging in this heaven and earth, as if it were about to plunge this world into a demonic heaven and earth.

This was the demonic power belonging to the Quasi-Saint level.

After the Demon Ancestor Luohou fell, there had been no demonic power for countless years; only now could it be said to have truly appeared.

Before, those demons were just simply called demon cultivators; regarding the demonic path, they hadn't touched it at all.

Now, Sun Wukong, with the help of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's demonic power, could be said to have once again displayed the power of the demonic path before the world.

The gazes of some Quasi-Saint big shots in the entire Journey to the West world were also attracted.

The aura radiated by the Quasi-Saint power was enough to be easily perceived by the powerhouses of this world.

After all, Quasi-Saints were already the truly top powerhouses in this world.

It was like this in the past Primordial era, and it was even more so in the current Journey to the West era.

Normally, the entire Journey to the West Great Calamity was mostly limited to Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals; even the scripture-seeking team hadn't encountered many Da Luo Golden Immortals.

Let alone Quasi-Saint powerhouses beyond Da Luo.

Perhaps in original history, like Bodhi Patriarch, Zhenyuanzi, etc., were Quasi-Saint powerhouses, but to say they used their own Quasi-Saint power, there was almost none.

That could only be considered a kind of acting.

"Old man Zhenwu, using this power, I had no choice, but for myself, and for the entire Mount Huaguo, I must do so." Sun Wukong released monstrous demonic energy and baleful aura.

The demonic energy and the Chaos Demon Ape's aura were constantly merging.

At this moment, the two diametrically opposite forces actually had a strange fusion; of course, this fusion was still somewhat forced.

If it were another point in time, or another person, it would likely be very difficult to do this.
