Chapter 818: Wreaking Collapse from Within the Ten Thousand Buddha Realms

To dismantle from within, one must first possess the strength to temporarily tear apart the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

The scale of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array was simply too vast; even after Sun Wukong detonated four million Pure Heaven Divine Pearls, it suffered not the slightest damage.

Seeing this, Saint Zhunti could not help but turn to Luo Fu, his face once again wearing a look of sorrow.

"Using the power of the Ten Thousand Buddha Realms to crush an opponent is hardly honorable, but the Journey to the West is of paramount importance to the Wufu Sect—we act out of necessity. I beg your understanding, friend."

As if certain of victory, Saint Zhunti once again resumed his usual humility and hypocrisy.

Originally, Saint Zhunti had feared Luo Fu's hidden move; now that Luo Fu had unleashed it and still failed to harm the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, Saint Zhunti could not help but exhale in relief.

Yet, to Saint Zhunti's surprise, even though Luo Fu's hidden move had failed, Luo Fu showed not the slightest panic—his face even wore a smile.

"Saint Zhunti, you rejoice too soon. Watch closely—my hidden move has not yet ended."

Hearing Luo Fu's words, Saint Zhunti inexplicably felt a premonition of dread.

The next instant, Saint Zhunti's premonition came true.

Those believers who had been reconverted suddenly regained their awareness—for no discernible reason.

Worse still, every one of these believers began turning black.

The only thing unchanged was that they still knelt in prayer.

But their prayers were no longer praises of the Western Two Saints—they had become curses against the Western Two Saints.

Vast quantities of curse energy began to spread throughout the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

Any believer touched by the curse energy also turned black, becoming curse-bearers themselves.

In response, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array reacted swiftly—limitless Buddha light flooded every corner, seeking to crush the curse energy.

Worse still, the Nine-Petal Jin Lian was stirred into motion, its golden barrier beginning to contract.

Around those Buddha Realms fully corrupted by curse energy, golden barriers also appeared, sealing the curse energy entirely within.

Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array's actions achieved not the slightest effect.

For the curse energy began spreading through the Buddha light to other Buddha Realms within the array.

The Buddha light, which filled every corner of the array, did not merely suppress the curse energy—it had become its medium of transmission.

Though vast amounts of curse energy were indeed annihilated by the Buddha light, many still traveled along the Buddha light, appearing in one Buddha Realm after another.

These curse energies, once within the Buddha Realms, spread through them at an unimaginable speed, like ink dropped into a clear pool.

Within moments, one Buddha Realm after another began to fall.

As these Buddha Realms fell, the accumulated curse energy within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array grew ever greater.

Limitless Buddha light began to boil and burn, desperately trying to annihilate the curse energy.

Buddha light was inherently hostile to curse energy; under its crushing force, vast quantities of curse energy were erased.

But the Buddha light only destroyed the curse energy—it did not eliminate the believers who produced it.

As long as the fallen believers remained, the curse energy would continue to arise endlessly.

The Western Two Saints realized this, and vast quantities of Buddha light transformed into conversion mantras, surging toward the fallen believers.

At once, countless Dao patterns emerged across every Buddha Realm.

These Dao patterns interlinked, forming a colossal conversion array.

The Conversion Array was the Western Two Saints' signature technique.

Without the Dao of Conversion, the Western Two Saints could never have expanded Buddhism to its current scale.

Thus, as the foundation of Buddhism, every one of the ten thousand Buddha Realms within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array was inscribed with Conversion Dao patterns.

At the mere thought of the Western Two Saints, the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Array could transform into a colossal Conversion Array.

With this Conversion Array, Buddhism's expansion rate would accelerate manyfold.

Under normal circumstances, the Western Two Saints would never deploy a Conversion Array of such scale in public.

A Conversion Array formed from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, once targeted, could convert even a Pre-Saint.

If such a Conversion Array were made public, it would surely provoke resistance from all beings of the Three Realms.

But faced with the curse energy now within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, the Western Two Saints could no longer afford caution.

Merely shielding themselves with the Nine-Petal Jin Lian's barrier, the Western Two Saints activated the Conversion Array without hesitation.

For the Western Two Saints now understood just how dangerous the curse energy was.
