Chapter 490: Heaven Punishment Axe

Deep valleys, bones everywhere—

In a desolate universe with only gray death Qi and no life, a huge lion head first poked out from the boiling ocean, and then exclaimed in horror.

The rumbling sound echoed between heaven and earth, causing a huge amount of seawater to roll and slap in all directions.

The one who made the sound was a nine-headed lion, with a huge body, like a divine mountain in the sky, straight with the sky!

When he stood on the sea, the whole ocean seemed to make a sound that it couldn't bear, and suddenly the gloomy wind was dark, and people couldn't be seen!

"You didn't die in the Return Ruins? You are still alive?"

After the nine-headed lion was surprised, a fierce look suddenly surfaced on his face. On his sturdy demon body that was stronger than the roots of the earth, a deep thunder mark spread from his brow to his neck, looking quite shocking.

Although the nine-headed lion was a strange demon of heaven and earth who had achieved the Great Dao, with incredible means such as billions of incarnations, void creation, and rebirth from a drop of blood, he still couldn't get rid of the thunder mark on his face.

In order not to damage his prestige in ordinary times, he could only use secret methods to cover it up, so as not to attract ridicule from fellow Daoists.

This was Donggaozi's deliberate handiwork to punish the nine-headed lion for his evil deeds of devouring heaven and earth and swallowing all living things back then.

And if it weren't for the nine-headed lion also having heavenly merits, and once being a minister of the Dao Court, with a few good friends in the court to protect him.

I'm afraid it wouldn't just be a punishment, but he would be directly struck by heavenly thunder, and even the nine-headed lion's primordial spirit would be taken back to the Tiangang Yinghua Mansion to be punished, never to be freed again!

Wuxiang Heaven, Jisheng Palace.

In a flawless jade palace, a group of red-clothed Daoists looked at the direction of the Buddhist country together, and a look of pondering surfaced on their faces at the same time.

There were twelve such Daoists, each with the same face, and even their expressions and movements were exactly the same.

It seemed to be transformed by the same person, but the Qi mechanism on their bodies was completely different, with a world of difference.

The strong ones could easily pick stars and take the sun, as if a stomp could crush the land continent under their feet.

The weak ones were no different from mortals, with decaying Qi and blood, and damaged muscles and bones, as if they would fall with a blow of wind.

"I knew back then that Donggaozi faked his death to escape, but I have always been troubled by not finding solid evidence."

An red-clothed Daoist said softly:

"The immortal who harmed me to such a situation, how could he die in the Return Ruins for no reason, perishing together with the Shaoyuan remnants who were already severely injured?"

"Today, the country of the Jingcang Bianji Buddha was broken, and that Great Vajra Barrier was also destroyed. Everything is clear."

"Borrowing the news of this old Buddha's death, I finally deduced Donggaozi's life and death. Thinking that there is still a day to take revenge personally, the main body is also difficult to hide the joy."

Another red-clothed Daoist intervened: "I think Donggaozi's situation at the moment may not be very good?"

"What do you mean?"

"He faked his death to escape since ancient times, and has always been seamless, even we haven't found any flaws. But why, after he killed the Jingcang Bianji Buddha, did he not clean up the mess?"

The red-clothed Daoist shook his head:

"If he had used magic to do some cover-up, it is said that the Jingcang Bianji Buddha would not even be able to send out the news of his death. Even if it was sent out, it would never involve Donggaozi."

"Looking at it now, after that battle, Donggaozi may have encountered another change, and it happened in the Buddhist country... Otherwise, with his calculations, I'm afraid it wouldn't have led to today's events!"

Once this sentence was said, the atmosphere in the Jade Palace suddenly tightened, and all was silent, with no one speaking.

"Then what about us?"

After a long time, a red-clothed Daoist asked tentatively.

"Wait first. Donggaozi originally cultivated the Yin Virtue Great Dao, but now he wants to prove a higher realm with the Virtue Great Dao. The most anxious people at the moment are not us old enemies of Donggaozi, but those who also walk the Virtue Great Dao."

"Suddenly there is such a strong hand as Donggaozi to compete with them, the mood of these people must be very wonderful."

The red-clothed Daoist in the middle smiled slowly, and at the end, he was a bit emotional, clapping his hands:

"The Virtue Great Dao is good. Even Donggaozi wants to achieve a higher realm with Virtue. That old senior who holds the Virtue Great Dao is worthy of being a famous kind person, moral and old."

"How tolerant is the old senior to the younger generation of fellow Daoists?"

"Compared with those Dao masters, this person's benevolent heart is truly touching and respectable!"

Ranluo Gongshou Heaven, on a bright and vast island, a tall Daoist with a long beard and golden eyes stood with the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen in the cloudy sky.

In front of the two, there was a bright white sun, clearly reflecting the scene in the Buddhist country.

And after listening to the long-bearded Daoist explain the ins and outs, the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen also frowned slightly, with a bit of surprise on his face.

Because some young juniors in the clan were suddenly killed back then, and there were several of his own blood descendants among them, he had dealt with this Buddhist country personally.

It was just that this Buddhist country was firm and difficult to destroy and extremely good at hiding and escaping. The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen, who had not achieved the Dao for long, only hit the Buddhist country a few times with heavy hands, and then watched it dive into the vast Taixu again, disappearing in an instant.

Because of the Great Vajra Barrier, although he had dealt with it, the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen at that time did not think that there was such an immortal and Buddhist secret hidden in the Buddhist country!

Looking at it now...

"Donggaozi, Virtue... The Xuanji Tianzun is also a great supernatural being who proves Virtue. I don't know what plans you have at the moment?" The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen sorted out his mood and looked at the long-bearded Daoist in front, asking.

The long-bearded Daoist withdrew his gaze from the white sun, smiled slightly, and asked back:

"Should I capture that Yuchen talent who cultivated the Taiyi Qing Shen Lei with a Jin Dan body and threaten him? Or should I go directly to Yuchen and force Donggaozi to show up and fight me?"

"Neither is advisable, Xuanji Tianzun must not do it."

The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen shook his head slightly.

"That's right, wait first. Let's see who will be the first to jump out, and we will just watch the show."

The long-bearded Daoist's eyes were deep, and he suddenly looked outside the sky, smiling playfully:

"Walking the Virtue Great Dao together, among our generation, Jiao Mingzhu is the most unscrupulous, and his notoriety is the worst."

"Look at today's events, why hasn't he come out?"

Netherworld, Xiaquan.

A strong man sitting in the depths of Xiaquan clenched his fists slightly, and his blood Qi was suddenly released, filling the void.

Countless demon ghosts and yin gods in Xiaquan were rushed by the blood Qi, and they couldn't even make a scream, and suddenly their souls flew away.

"Donggaozi still has a thunder card... The old friends of the past still have a day to meet, and now they have become fellow Daoists. It is truly a joy that makes people happy?"

The strong man laughed and stood up slowly.

Wind and rain are coming, the tribulation fire is moving.

Since the Great Vajra Barrier was broken, the news of the Jingcang Bianji Buddha's death could no longer be concealed, causing the Virtue Great Dao to have an abnormality.

Anyone with ability could not ignore this scene, and they all cast their attention one after another.

For this situation, the old monk who personally sacrificed the Buddhist country to exchange for blessings had long expected it.

He knew that once the Buddhist country was destroyed, the news of his Buddha's death would definitely be difficult to conceal.

But even if he didn't attack the Buddhist country, in the situation where no external force intervened, at most another hundred years, the Buddhist country would eventually be ruined and could not be saved.

So rather than letting it be damaged in vain, it is better to make the best use of it and help yourself one last time!

"Fortunately, I was decisive and withdrew in time. Even if the thunder card wants to send a message to the outside world after the Buddhist country collapses, I'm afraid it's too late."

The old monk thought to himself.

Every time the Seven-Treasure Divine Wheel behind his head turned, his figure blurred by a point. In the end, it was half hazy, appearing and disappearing in the boundless void. Every time he took a step, he could cross layers of heaven and earth.

"I don't know how many years have passed, has anyone in Baoya Temple achieved the Buddha fruit position? Although the Buddha has passed away, if a Buddha can stand up to support the door, then—"

Just as the old monk was letting his imagination run wild, a low laugh suddenly rang in his ears, as if someone was following behind him.

The old monk's heart tightened, and his hair stood on end.

And before he could urge his supernatural powers, the low laugh rang out again, saying:

"Coincidentally, I bumped into a big fortune this time. Monk, since your old master is dead, why not come and follow me?"

"I am also a great enlightened one of the Buddhist sect. Recognize me as the master, and I will definitely not disgrace your identity as a Zen treasure."

"Is it the Demon Buddha of Dasui Temple or the one from Luodi Temple?"

The old monk's scalp was numb.

After the laughter fell, the old monk felt a great suction coming from behind, pulling his figure firmly and pulling him backward little by little.

The old monk naturally did not want to wait for death, and hurriedly turned the divine wheel behind his head to resist with all his strength.

But the strength of the two sides was quite different. After a while, when the monk could no longer support it, he suddenly felt a familiar Qi mechanism approaching here.

With a flash of inspiration, the old monk's eyes lit up and he shouted:

"Buddha, save me!"

In an instant, a leisurely Zen chant rang out in the air. The old monk felt as if he was floating in the clouds and mist to the sky. The restraint on his body suddenly lightened, and he hurriedly took the opportunity to use all his strength and finally rushed out.

"Xuanji Tianzun is also stingy, not even willing to give me this little benefit? Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore."

The person who took action in the dark was not surprised when he saw this, just smiled, and disappeared in an instant.

"Namo Amitabha."

After this Buddha name was announced, the old monk, who was still in shock, felt the light in front of him shine brightly.

When he blinked and looked again, an immeasurable solemn ancient Buddha appeared in the Great Bright Cloud. The Great Brightness was afraid of being no less than a million miles, vast and mighty, capable of illuminating the ten directions of the world!

It is called the Pure and Clean Light, the Wisdom Sun breaks all darkness, can subdue disaster wind and fire, and illuminates the world!

At this time, in the Great Bright Cloud, there were many Bodhisattvas, Ming Kings, Dharma Protectors, Heavenly Dragons, Yakshas, and Garudas serving the Great Buddha on both sides, with upright appearances and solemn majesty.

The old monk saw two familiar faces of Baoya Temple among them, and before he could suppress the surprise in his heart, his gaze suddenly fell on a six-foot-tall browless man.

The moment he made eye contact with the browless man, the old monk felt as if he had been hit hard behind his head, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Huaiyuan, why are you—"

He wanted to ask what the situation of Baoya Temple was now, and why Huaiyuan and the others came here together.

But before the words came out, Huaiyuan shook his head slightly, abruptly interrupting the old monk's doubt.

"..."

Seeing this, the old monk already had the answer in his heart.

After so many years, Baoya Temple was probably already dead in name only, and even Huaiyuan followed by the side of Cixian Guang Buddha, which was the greatest proof.

He sighed secretly, and finally chose to turn into a stone lamp, also floating towards the boundless Great Bright Cloud above his head.

"Parting in a hurry back then, seeing again, it is this situation. Although there was a vague prediction, it is still..."

Cixian Guang Buddha urged his Heavenly Eye, he looked at the Buddhist country, also shook his head, sighed, and silently recited a scripture.

Many living beings in the Great Bright Cloud also sighed, either putting their hands together or bowing their heads, among which the monks of Baoya Temple had a look of sadness on their faces, true and sincere.

At this time, Cixian Guang Buddha's gaze paused slightly on Chen Hang.

However, before he could speak, Huaiyuan, who was standing by, suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply:

"My temple's Buddha unfortunately perished at the hands of Yuchen's Donggaozi. Once this news spread, it made us like infants losing their parents, miserable and panicked. The disciple boldly speaks, please Cixian Guang Buddha look at the past friendship and stand up for us!"

Hearing this, the old monk's heart froze. He seemed to want to dissuade, but saw that the monks of Baoya Temple on his side were all echoing.

The words the old monk wanted to say could only be awkwardly stuck in his throat, neither up nor down.

At this moment, not only were all the living beings in the Great Bright Cloud holding their breath and waiting, hoping for Cixian Guang Buddha's final answer.

Even great supernatural beings like the nine-headed lion and the red-clothed Daoist cast their eyes here one after another, wanting to see how Cixian Guang Buddha would respond.

Because of his service in the Thunder Department and his own temperament, as early as the ancient era, Donggaozi had already offended a group of enemies.

Coupled with the fact that Donggaozi's secret walk of the Virtue Great Dao was exposed, those who cultivated the Virtue Great Dao were also wary of Donggaozi, not wanting to have another one to compete with them in the future.

Therefore, the situation at the moment could be described as a mountain of reeds, just lacking a spark to be thrown in, and it would burn completely!

"Can this old Buddha really stand up for Jingcang Bianji Buddha?"

Looking through the white sun, seeing Cixian Guang Buddha in the Great Bright Cloud pondering without words.

In Ranluo Gongshou Heaven, the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen asked the long-bearded Daoist.

"If the old Buddha were really a temperament willing to stand up, he would have died in that True Palace in the Boundless Light Heaven back then. How could he have lost the expectations of the crowd?"

"To tell the truth, I think this scene today is just thunder and little rain. So what if Donggaozi is alive? So what if he changed to Virtue? Can these people still fight to the Xiaoming Great Marsh and force Donggaozi to come out and die?"

"Do you really think the Yuchen immortals are decorations, and the alliance signed by the Eight Sects and Six Schools is a joke?"

The long-bearded Daoist looked at Cixian Guang Buddha, with a slight cold sarcasm on his face.

He explained to the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen on the side:

"The reason why it became such a formation is just because it happened to meet the opportunity, wanting to create some momentum and force Yuchen to give up some benefits. As for how much profit is given, I think there is still something to say."

The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen was thoughtful, and the long-bearded Daoist continued, this time the voice was a bit inexplicable:

"And Yuchen's power is great, just looking at the younger disciples can tell. Cultivating the Taiyi Qing Shen Lei at the Jin Dan stage?"

"Such a jade tree, why is it born in someone else's courtyard? Compared with this person, my group of disciples have become difficult-to-carve rotten wood!"

The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen followed the long-bearded Daoist's gaze and saw that the latter's gaze was falling on Chen Hang, as if he felt sorry that this person was not his own.

He shook his head and joked:

"The Xuanji Tianzun said earlier that everyone wanted to create some momentum to force Yuchen to give up profits. Since that's the case, we don't need Yuchen to give up any benefits. On the contrary, we can add some back to Yuchen..."

The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen pointed at Chen Hang:

"How about exchanging this for him to join my Ranluo Gongshou Heaven?"

Hearing the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen's joke, the long-bearded Daoist also laughed:

"Don't make fun of me. Although I also walk the Virtue Great Dao, I don't want to offend Donggaozi too much. Where does the matter of forcing Yuchen to give up profits come from? Besides, such a disciple, and—"

Before he finished speaking, the long-bearded Daoist's face suddenly changed, and he stopped his mouth abruptly.

The Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen did not understand at first.

But shifting his gaze to the white sun, he soon understood, his expression shocked.

There was thunder and lightning, wind and rain, and vast light rose from nowhere, sweeping through the universe!

In an instant, the present heaven and earth seemed to be forcefully split into a huge gap, and an ancient stone axe rumbled and appeared from it. A power that was unimaginable climbed to the extreme in an instant. Even separated by the boundless void, it made the white sun in front of the Life-Respect Shouzun Moshen flicker, as if it was pressed and couldn't breathe!

"Heaven Punishment Axe... Great Manifestation, long time no see, you are still so fierce."

In Zhengxu Heaven, someone sighed with emotion.

"Heaven Punishment Axe? When was this thing repaired?"

A iron-blooded flag in Zhenwu Mountain fluttered, supporting the sky and the earth, and crashed through the clouds in an instant.

At the same time, in various heavens and earth, several strong Qi mechanisms also emerged.

If Donggaozi's news only attracted the attention of many people.

Then when this stone axe appeared, it almost made everyone look sideways!

"Heaven Punishment Axe?!"

In the Jisheng Palace of Wuxiang Heaven, almost at the same time the stone axe appeared, the twelve red-clothed Daoists changed their expressions sharply, and without thinking, clapped their hands, causing the Jade Palace to rise into the sky, and then hide in the depths of Jisheng Palace.

And following the movement of the red-clothed Daoist, the stone axe also made a thunderous sound that shook the world and slashed forward!

Cixian Guang Buddha did not speak, just flew up, and after hard-matching the stone axe five times with his palm, he fell back into the Great Bright Cloud.

"Truly a sharp weapon!"

Cixian Guang Buddha recited a Buddha name, did not stop, turned the Great Bright Cloud under his body, and returned to the Boundless Light Heaven.

After a few breaths, in that desolate universe, the nine-headed lion's body was almost chopped in half by the suddenly appearing stone axe.

This forced the nine-headed lion to imitate the method of breaking the tail to survive, and escaped outside the universe in time, so as not to be more embarrassed.

After severely injuring the nine-headed lion, the thunder axe did not suddenly escape, but slowly circled, its deterrent meaning self-evident.

Only after a small half-stick of incense did it slowly sink into the dark void.

Following the complete disappearance of the thunder axe, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and one after another withdrew their gazes and restrained their Qi mechanisms.

A dispute that might have been caused by Donggaozi was thus quietly eliminated, and no more waves could be stirred up...

"So fierce, what a treasure!"

In Douyu Heaven, the Kongkong Daoist, who had already stood up, sat down slowly again.

He dispersed the seal in his hand, his gaze fell on Chen Hang from afar, and he sighed:

"You have truly joined a good sect!" ===== CHAPTER 491 =====
