Chapter 333: Taiyi Endures in Silence, Maitreya Responds with Domination!

Maitreya was stunned!

This guy Yaoshi... is a bit too overbearing.

You should know, Ji Meng is one of the Ten Great Demon Sages.

He was once one of the three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud Palace.

It can be said that when Ji Meng rose to fame, Maitreya and Yaoshi had not yet entered the Western Buddhist Gate.

The difference in seniority made Maitreya previously wary.

But upon reflection, this is only natural.

After all, with the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Four Ferocities Diagram—two top-tier spiritual treasures—in hand, even he possesses unprecedented boldness and vigor.

It can be said that he regards the Demon Race before him as ants, and that is not an exaggeration.

Thus, he allowed Yaoshi to proceed.

Moreover, Maitreya even nodded with a smile.

Now speaking of Ji Meng.

Hearing Yaoshi's words, and seeing their two fearless postures,

he was immediately enraged.

Ji Meng's face suddenly darkened.

"Hmph, ignorant brat!"

"Demon Race, hear my order—seize these two brats at once!"

Ji Meng wasted no words, issuing the command directly.

After all, we fear that Chen Ku might also be involved—never mind.

Are mere Maitreya and Yaoshi worth making the Demon Court wary?!

Before this, these two had no record of ancient arrogance and modern supremacy to speak of.

Instantly, countless Demon Race beings roared into action.

One after another, figures burst forth, charging to slaughter Maitreya and the other.

Seeing this, Maitreya paid no heed.

"Tch, mere ants!"

"Since you actively seek death, then I shall grant it."

It should be known that in later legends, Maitreya is said to be "smiling upon opening his mouth, laughing at all things, broad-minded enough to embrace heaven and earth."

But now, he is not the Future Buddha, merely a Buddhist disciple.

Furthermore, having witnessed his senior brother Chen Ku's formidable strength earlier,

thus, the present Maitreya is equally decisive and ruthless in slaughter, unmatched in ferocity.

He hesitated not, flipping his palm to directly unleash the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

Swish!

Swish!

The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler swung.

One after another, violent rending sounds echoed, deafening, piercing metal and splitting stone.

Behold, boundless brilliance swept forth, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths.

The void shattered inch by inch, utterly sinking.

And just beneath the divine might of this merit treasure,

instantly, only blood rain filled the sky, severed limbs flying.

Accompanied by the Demon Race beings' cries of misery, piercing and countless, making scalps tingle and hearts leap.

For ordinary Demon Race beings, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler is an unstoppable great slaughter weapon.

Even a mere leakage of its aura is enough to strangle countless Demon Race beings.

Slaughter!

This is nothing short of a one-sided massacre!

Under the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, nothing remains.

Even a Daluo Golden Immortal-level existence is but one chi each, shown no mercy.

This scene is indescribably overwhelming and supreme.

Ordinary Demon Race beings have their livers and gallbladders about to burst, their souls fleeing, already trembling and shrinking, daring not to oppose its edge.

Even the leader, Ji Meng, has his eyelids twitching incessantly, his face turning iron-blue.

"Damn it!"

"That Chen Ku actually lent the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler to these two?!"

Ji Meng let out a low cry of shock, fury unbound.

This undoubtedly proves that Maitreya and Yaoshi came here truly by Chen Ku's will.

For a time, Ji Meng's heart grew ever heavier.

If discussing personal strength, Ji Meng naturally could suppress Maitreya and Yaoshi.

But with the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, such a supreme treasure aiding them, it is no longer something he can hard-pressed against.

Furthermore, this matter involves Chen Ku, and it is absolutely not something Ji Meng can handle or settle.

His expression shifted for a long while, until he finally spoke in a deep voice:

"Hurry and report to the Demon Emperor, His Majesty Donghuang!"

"Say that Buddhist disciples have already attacked my Demon Court!"

He turned his head and instructed a demon race spirit beside him.

Upon hearing this, the latter was already terrified out of his wits and immediately went toward the direction where Di Jun and Taiyi were.

Not long after, at the highest point of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Boom!

Boom!

Two tyrannical auras that suppressed the heavens and earth, overwhelming all realms, suddenly surged upward.

Immediately after, two golden crow rainbow lights flashed into view, carrying two figures, gradually descending onto the scene.

Obviously, the news of the Buddhist sect attacking the demon court had also shocked Di Jun and Taiyi immensely, filled with astonishment and alarm.

The two had also long since ceased to care about so-called closed-door cultivation and contemplation of the Grand Primordial Dao.

They hurriedly descended onto the scene.

The two looked down from above, faces grim as water, eyes dark and gloomy as they gazed down upon Maitreya and Bhaishajya.

"Maitreya, Bhaishajya!"

"You Buddhist sect, earlier you slaughtered countless of my demon race."

"And now you still dare to come? Do you intend to exterminate my demon race completely?!"

Di Jun coldly shouted, his breath ragged with fury!

Or more accurately, he was stifled to the point of bursting!

On our demon race side, we had already suffered defeat and retreated in disarray.

And now the Buddhist sect still insists on harassing us without end?!

Excessive!

Truly excessive!

Although Di Jun appeared to be angrily scolding Maitreya and Bhaishajya,

while speaking, he was also furtively glancing with suspicion toward the direction behind them.

At the same time, his divine sense had already extended outward.

Otherwise!

Di Jun was guarding against Chen Ku, and even against Jieyin and Zhunti and others.

If they were to come here as well, it would absolutely be a catastrophe of heavenly destruction for the demon court.

Fortunately, after prolonged sensing, Di Jun detected no trace of Chen Ku and the others.

Only then did he gradually come to believe that today, it was truly only Maitreya and Bhaishajya who had come.

Meanwhile, Taiyi glared angrily, his golden-flame Dao robe fluttering loudly.

In his gaze fixed upon Maitreya and Bhaishajya, there was an unbearable, bone-chilling coldness, killing intent icy and fierce.

It seemed that in the next moment, Taiyi would be unable to restrain himself and would directly strike at Maitreya and Bhaishajya.

As for all this, Maitreya and Bhaishajya paid it no heed.

"Hehe......"

Maitreya gave a light chuckle, then stared boldly at Di Jun and Taiyi.

"Demon Emperor, Eastern Sovereign, why must you be so furious?!"

"We also have no need to make a move."

"We came today merely following the orders of Senior Brother Chen Ku."

"You only need to hand over the demon race spirit who discovered the secret of the Slaughter Witch Sword, and all will be well."

Maitreya's response could be described as light as clouds and wind.

While speaking, he glanced around at the many demon race spirits who had perished before him, and helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

That demeanor seemed to say, this is all the demon race bringing trouble upon themselves, and I am helpless to act otherwise.

Arrogant!

Wanton!

Merely Maitreya's expression and response like this made Di Jun and Taiyi's faces grow even uglier.

And upon hearing the content of Maitreya's words clearly, Di Jun's face turned ashen, his eyes blazing with fire!

The demon race spirit who discovered the secret of the Slaughter Witch Sword?!

Why has the Buddhist sect suddenly demanded this person?!

Di Jun and Taiyi could not comprehend it.

However, this also does not matter.

Know that this place is the territory of the demon court, and moreover, the supreme holy land of the demon race lineage.

For Maitreya and Bhaishajya to come so recklessly, even boldly, opening their mouths to demand people from us?!

Is this not outright face-slapping output, a great contempt for the demon court?!

Bullying people too... not... should say bullying the demon race too much.

"Maitreya, do you truly think my demon court is weak and bullyable?!"

Di Jun almost gritted his teeth, speaking thus in a cold voice.

Taiyi was even more violent, immediately shouting:

"Scoundrel!"

"Today I swear to suppress and kill you all here, to enhance the might of my demon court."

The words fell.

Immediately after, the auras of Di Jun and Taiyi surged heavenward, cosmic laws vast and mighty, gripping the soul, stirring up an unparalleled great terror.

In an instant, the ten great demon sages who had rushed over, as well as countless demon race beings, all had solemn expressions.

Is the great battle going to erupt again?!

Although the atmosphere in the field was tense and confrontational.

Even suppressed to the point of making it hard to breathe.

But Maitreya and Bhaishajya remained calm and composed, as steady as ever.

Bhaishajya let out a scoffing laugh, responding with utter disdain:

"Heh, do you want to make a move against us?!"

"Then by all means, give it a try."

"However, you should know that I and Senior Maitreya are both direct disciples of Master Zhunti."

"And at this moment, Senior Brother Chen Ku is surely observing this scene."

"If you have the guts to endure the wrath of a sage, then go ahead and strike."

Bhaishajya provoked wildly, as if fearing that Di Jun Taiyi would not make a move.

And Bhaishajya then shook his head, sighing:

"Alas... those who know the times are true heroes!"

"Just handing over a demon race member—is it really this difficult?!"

The two played off each other perfectly, completely displaying an air of fearless confidence.

On the other side.

Di Jun Taiyi, the ten great demon sages, and others had faces so cold they seemed almost able to drip water.

Infuriating!

Simply infuriating!

The ten great demon sages exchanged glances, unable to help whispering to each other.

"Damn it, truly two despicable lackeys relying on others' power."

"Hmph, I can't help but feel resentful, wishing to grind these two to bones and scatter their ashes."

"Indeed, they are disciples taught by that Western Sage, shameless and despicable."

Several people spoke thus in low voices, full of contempt.

In their eyes, Maitreya and Bhaishajya at this moment could be said to have fully displayed the act of "relying on others' might, like a fox borrowing the tiger's might."

Taiyi was even more enraged, even the Chaos Bell had already appeared on its own, rumbling nonstop, making people's souls tremble.

However, at this moment, Bai Ze, leading the ten great demon sages, still retained his due rationality.

He pondered for a moment, then immediately stepped forward, weighing his words as he spoke softly:

"Your Majesty Donghuang, do not act rashly!"

"The words of Maitreya and Bhaishajya, we cannot help but consider."

"Now, our final battle with the Wu and Yao is imminent."

"If, because of today's matter, we again provoke a sage-level existence to cause trouble for the demon court."

"Then......."

Bai Ze's words were not yet finished.

However, Di Jun Taiyi also understood his meaning.

It must be said, this consideration is also quite thorough.

Even if Maitreya and Bhaishajya exhausted their provocations, acting recklessly.

But the demon court side, "fearing to harm the vessel while attacking the rat," indeed could not act against these two.

Under sages, all are ants, no exception!

Therefore, even though Taiyi harbored heavenly rage and resentment in his heart.

But he could only suppress that heavenly killing intent, and in the end still did not act.

On the side, Di Jun also gradually came to his senses.

He coldly glanced at Maitreya and the other.

Then, he also instructed Bai Ze beside him, saying:

"Bai Ze, you go investigate first, to find out who first discovered the mystery of the Slaughter Wu Sword."

Obviously, although not explicitly stated, Di Jun also had no choice but to compromise.

He could only follow what Maitreya and Bhaishajya had said earlier, and go find that demon race being who discovered the secret of the Slaughter Wu Sword.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze bowed and accepted the command, turning and leaving.

The speed of the demon sages, indeed astonishing!

However, after just a moment, Bai Ze returned once again.

Yet, at this moment, his expression was somewhat strange.

"Reporting to Your Two Majesties..."

"According to other demon race beings, the one who first discovered the secret of the Slaughter Wu Sword was the fox demon clan."

"However, at this moment, all beings in that fox demon clan have already been slaughtered to the last, none survived."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun Taiyi's face froze.

"What? All killed?!"

"Who did it?!"

Di Jun immediately continued to ask in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's expression became even more strange.

"This... is something we of the Demon Race did internally!"

"According to legend... there were members of the Demon Race dissatisfied with the fox clan, and they believed that the fox clan's discovery of the Slaughter Witch Sword's secret instead brought endless karma and trouble."

"This is why... they dealt a lethal blow to the fox clan."

"Moreover, the number of fox clan lives slaughtered was excessive, and now it is beyond investigation."

Bai Ze's account having ended, everyone present was stunned.

Internal strife within the Demon Race?!

And, it just so happened that the fox clan, which had discovered the secret of the Slaughter Witch Sword, suffered misfortune, with not a single survivor?!

This damn......

Di Jun Taiyi remained silent.

However, Bai Ze immediately waved his hand.

Immediately, one fox clan corpse after another appeared, lying horizontally before everyone.

This can only be said to be the sole explanation Bai Ze has given.

In the arena, the members of the Demon Court remained silent.

Done intentionally?!

Or merely a coincidence?!

Even Di Jun Taiyi and the others found it hard to determine.

However, they clearly understood that such a result would be difficult to explain to Maitreya and Bhaiṣajyaguru.

Indeed!

Di Jun Taiyi had just formed this thought.

On the other side, Maitreya and Bhaiṣajyaguru had been observing this scene from beginning to end.

At this moment, Maitreya could not help but laugh.

"Heh... the fox demons were the first to discover it?!"

"And now, neither too early nor too late, they just happened to be silenced?!"

"The Demon Court truly put on a good show for us."

Maitreya's words were full of mockery and contempt.

Without a doubt, he naturally did not believe Bai Ze's explanation.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's eyebrows shot up, and he immediately spoke to refute:

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

"Hmph, why should we put on a show for you lot?!"

Even if we dare not strike down Maitreya and Bhaiṣajyaguru with lethal intent, Taiyi's arrogance remains.

In Taiyi's view, the idea that he personally staged a performance to deceive Maitreya and Bhaiṣajyaguru is utterly laughable.

To Taiyi, this claim is simply ridiculous to the extreme.

Di Jun then sank his face, and after a while, he spoke:

"You two have already seen it with your own eyes."

"What I can give you is only these corpses."

Di Jun's words also amounted to persuading Maitreya and Bhaiṣajyaguru.

At the same time, Di Jun's demeanor already indicated his desire for peace and reconciliation, unwilling to cause further trouble.

However, upon hearing Di Jun's words,

Maitreya did not hesitate, merely shaking his head calmly.

"This result...... is unacceptable!"
