Chapter 483

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Luo Fu had never been overly concerned with what degree the scripture-seeking team could achieve.

The reason he expended power to enhance the strength of the scripture-seeking team.

The main purpose was to interact with the members of the Myriad Realms Chat Group, and incidentally, to satisfy his own dark humor.

Compared to winning the wager, satisfying his dark humor made Luo Fu feel even happier.

Under Luo Fu's observation, the scripture-seeking team began to rapidly break through the eighty-one tribulations arranged by Buddhism.

What puzzled many great beings was that, ever since the Yellow Wind Monster, every monster the scripture-seeking team encountered seemed to have gone mad.

Based on the combat power displayed by the scripture-seeking team, the subsequent plot of the Journey to the West should have been the team rapidly arriving at the next tribulation, then sweeping it away with the force of a thunderbolt, and then continuing to the next.

But the reality was that the monsters responsible for each tribulation acted as if they were crazy, actually ignoring the gap in strength and taking the initiative to attack Sun Wukong and the others.

These monsters mostly only had the strength of the mid-to-late Da Luo Golden Immortal realm; even with innate spiritual treasures, they had at most the strength of the peak Da Luo Golden Immortal realm, and they couldn't even beat Tang Seng and the Little White Dragon, let alone Sun Wukong.

"Consecutive Normal Punches!"

"Heavenly Gang Battle Qi!"

"Destructive Dragon Breath!"

"Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna All Buddhas, Prajna Ba Ma Hum!"

"Eat my old Sun's staff!"

Facing the monsters that took the initiative to attack them, the scripture-seeking team did not hold back, each of them unleashing their strongest combat power and resolving these monsters at the fastest speed.

Occupying Zhu Bajie was Feipeng.

Feipeng and Zhu Bajie, to a certain extent, had great similarities. Therefore, Luo Fu chose General Feipeng to replace Zhu Bajie.

Occupying Sha Wujing was the One-Punch Man, Saitama.

Like Tang Seng, the reason for choosing Saitama was also because of Luo Fu's dark humor.

Therefore, when imprinting moves for Sha Wujing, Luo Fu also chose Saitama's signature moves, the Normal Punch and the Consecutive Normal Punches.

The One-Punch Sha Wujing was also extremely contrasting.

Feipeng and Saitama both belonged to the category of battle maniacs. And in their own worlds, they basically could not find opponents.

Therefore, facing the monsters that took the initiative to attack, the two of them fought the most crazily, even more crazily than Sun Wukong.

The vast majority of the monsters died at their hands.

With the scripture-seeking team's rapid advance, plus the monsters of the eighty-one tribulations taking the initiative to throw their lives away, the scripture-seeking team passed dozens of tribulations almost without spending much effort.

Except for the few monsters in the Golden-Winged Great Peng tribulation that did not die at the hands of the scripture-seeking team, the monsters encountered in the other dozens of tribulations all died at the hands of the scripture-seeking team.

The scripture-seeking team ran wildly all the way, which could be described as stirring up a bloody storm.

As for the reason why the Golden-Winged Great Peng did not die, one was because his speed was fast enough.

The speed of the Golden-Winged Great Peng could definitely be called number one among Da Luo Golden Immortals.

Even if the scripture-seeking team could defeat the Golden-Winged Great Peng, as long as the Golden-Winged Great Peng wanted to run, it would be very difficult for the scripture-seeking team to catch up to him.

Besides this reason, it was also because the Golden-Winged Great Peng had a significant connection with Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng was currently staying in Luo Fu's Chaos Pearl, and out of respect for Yuan Feng, Luo Fu specifically had the scripture-seeking team hold back against the Golden-Winged Great Peng, who had a connection to her.

After resolving the many monsters, the scripture-seeking team finally arrived at the Western Continent of Hezhou.

Arriving at the Western Continent of Hezhou meant that it was not far from storming Lingshan.

Having stormed to the Western Continent of Hezhou so easily, Sun Wukong could not help but be incomparably excited; his entire body was involuntarily filled with fighting spirit, and he took the lead, walking at the very front.

······

"You Buddhists are truly as cruel as ever!"

Witnessing the scripture-seeking team's journey, Luo Fu also saw through the plans of the two Western Saints.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist must be mistaken, right? The cruel ones should be you, Fellow Daoist, and the scripture-seeking team under you. This poor monk also did not expect the scripture-seeking team to be so cruel."

Although those monsters did indeed take the initiative to throw their lives away against the scripture-seeking team because of Buddhism's methods.

But the Ancient Buddha Dipankara obviously could not admit it.

The two Western Saints intended to make Luo Fu and the scripture-seeking team take the blame; in this matter, Buddhism naturally could not leave any traces behind.

"Hehe, truly shameless. It is clearly you Buddhists who wanted to sacrifice these monsters to purify the demonic energy of the Western Continent of Hezhou. If it weren't for you Buddhists, at least half of these monsters would not have died."

Luo Fu gave a cold laugh and stated Buddhism's plan without any hesitation.

Yes, the reason the two Western Saints sacrificed these monsters was to purify the demonic energy of the Western Continent of Hezhou.

The Journey to the West was not simply about seeking the true scriptures.

The path taken by the scripture-seeking team was a great earth dragon vein of the Earth Immortal World.

This great earth dragon vein was originally connected to the Western Continent of Hezhou.

But due to the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, this great earth dragon vein had also been significantly affected; the part connected to the Western Continent of Hezhou had broken and fractured in many places, and it had also been partially eroded by demonic energy.

The caves occupied by the many monsters were the nodes where the earth veins were fractured or eroded.

One of the purposes of these monsters occupying these caves was to use their fortune to repair the fractured great earth dragon vein and purify the demonic energy within it.

Repairing the dragon vein and purifying the demonic energy were both deeds that benefited Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, occupying these nodes allowed one to obtain merit.

This was also the reason why many great beings sent their mounts down to the mortal world one after another; they wanted to share some merit from the Journey to the West.

The Journey to the West involved too much, and Buddhism gained too much benefit.

Although Buddhism was now the number one force in the Three Realms, Buddhism was still far from being able to dominate the Three Realms alone.

If the many forces of the Three Realms joined hands, Buddhism would be far from being an opponent.

Therefore, the two Western Saints had to distribute a portion of the merit to the many great beings of the Three Realms.

This was also the reason why almost none of the monsters in the eighty-one tribulations were killed.

Most of the monsters were sent down by great beings to farm merit, and almost every one of them had a great being behind them.

With a backer, how could they allow the scripture-seeking team to kill them at will?

Due to Luo Fu's appearance, this matter had changed.

The merit of repairing the great earth dragon vein was, for the two Western Saints, only minor merit; they actually did not care about it.

What the two Western Saints truly cared about was the demonic energy.

How to remove the demonic energy to the greatest extent was what the two Western Saints were most concerned about.

As long as they could remove all the demonic energy, the two Western Saints could obtain the great merit of repairing the Western Continent of Hezhou.

To digest the demonic energy, the most direct way was to have someone first attract the demonic energy to a certain person, and then kill them.
