Chapter 914

Seeing the Buddha-Demon Golden Body revealed by the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, Ancestor Minghe sneered and mocked aloud.

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha gave no response to Ancestor Minghe's mockery; instead, his eyes turned red as he stared at the Blood Spirits surrounding him, and a savage killing intent began to rise around him.

The Buddha-Demon unified Golden Body had never been revealed by the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

He was one of the highest-ranking Bodhisattvas in Buddhism; if he revealed the Buddha-Demon Golden Body, it would surely ignite a massive uproar throughout the Three Realms.

But under these current circumstances, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha could no longer care about such things.

Buddhism was on the verge of annihilation; compared to Buddhism's reputation, what mattered most was how to survive.

As long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about lacking firewood.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin would surely be resurrected sooner or later.

As long as the two Saints were resurrected, Buddhism would have a day of renewed rise.

All he needed to do was live until that day.

As long as Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin were resurrected, whether he was Buddha or Demon, he would still be Buddhism's Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

·······

Just as the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha revealed his Buddha-Demon unified Golden Body.

In Sun Wukong's hand, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, like a pillar holding up the sky, once again rained down upon the Mountain Protecting Array of Bombarding Lingshan like a storm.

In just a few breaths, Sun Wukong had violently struck the Mountain Protecting Array over ten thousand times.

Crack!

Boom—

Under the furious assault of the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the already crumbling Mountain Protecting Array finally gave way and exploded apart.

After the Mountain Protecting Array was shattered, the chaotic Bombarding Lingshan reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Swipe!

At that moment, countless spatial ripples suddenly erupted around Bombarding Lingshan, and several figures appeared abruptly near the mountain.

Among these figures, three were the most prominent.

One group was entirely clad in armor, appearing majestic and formidable; their leader was wreathed in Lei Ting, as if he were the embodiment of thunder.

This force was clearly the Heavenly Court's Celestial Soldiers and Generals, with their leader being the Zhengshen of the Thunder Department—Yuanshi Tianzun Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong had originally been a disciple of the Jie Sect.

But due to Saint Tongtian being confined in the Purple Cloud Palace, the Jie Sect had remained fragmented, its situation far worse than that of the Chan Sect.

Thus, Wen Zhong was among the few disciples of a Saint whom the Jade Emperor could mobilize.

Under these circumstances, sending Wen Zhong to intervene was undoubtedly most appropriate.

With Wen Zhong's status, even if he appeared at Bombarding Lingshan under the Jade Emperor's orders, people would inevitably associate him with his underlying patron, Saint Tongtian.

Having been suppressed by the Six Saints for so long, the Jade Emperor had long grown accustomed to exercising caution whenever anything involved a Saint.

Although Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin had perished, they would surely be resurrected one day.

The Jade Emperor did not wish for Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin to resurrect and directly attack the Heavenly Court.

The second group each carried an aura of mystery; their leader rode a Bai Hu and held a cane, an old Daoist Priest.

This man was Nanji Xianweng, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Clearly, he represented the Chan Sect.

Although Master Yuanshi had personally intervened to resolve his karmic ties with Buddhism, it did not mean the Chan Sect would not participate in the plundering of Buddhism's legacy.

A Saint was a Saint; the Chan Sect was the Chan Sect.

Many of Buddhism's assets were beneath Master Yuanshi's interest, yet many disciples of the Chan Sect coveted them.

For Master Yuanshi, recapturing his few traitorous direct disciples mattered more than anything.

But for the Chan Sect, plundering Buddhism's assets mattered more.

Cultivation required resources, and Buddhism's remaining assets contained vast cultivation resources.

Of course, Nanji Xianweng's presence here was tacitly permitted by Master Yuanshi.

Master Yuanshi merely had no interest in plundering Buddhism; it did not mean he would not do it.

Buddhism's legacy lay right there; better to let it benefit himself than others.

The third group was the demonic race, led by a Qing Luan.

The Qing Luan had revealed her demonic form.

Though she was of the demonic race, her entire being radiated a light, ethereal aura with little brutality.
