Instantly, the world shattered like glass into many pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the world seemed to spin around them, in an instant, Lin Fang and the Demon King were outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Buddhist followers were preparing to chase the Young Demon Tribe, two figures suddenly appeared before their eyes, it was Lin Fang and his companion, and the scene instantly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to Maitreya, uncertain of what had transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maitreya himself was taken aback; he had not expected Lin Fang and his companion to break through his Buddha Kingdom in Palm, which was a severe blow to his prestige. After all, having acted with the authority of a Future Buddha Ancestor, to fail to capture the two was a humiliation that, once spread, would make him the laughingstock of the Three Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed, and a nameless rage grew in his heart, as he prepared to make a move against Lin Fang and his companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\" a voice called from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man holding a Wooden Staff, his brow bulging with vigor, standing on a slowly descending white crane; it was none other than the Elder of the Southern Pole, the now Longevity Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buddha Ancestor from the East, the Primordial Heavenly Lord has invited you to the Supreme Pure Heaven’s Miro Palace to discuss the Primordial Dao Fruit,\" the Elder of the Southern Pole said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please tell the Taoist Master that this monk has urgent affairs and fears he cannot comply,\" Maitreya said softly, his face devoid of its usual smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Elder of the Southern Pole pressed on, grabbing Maitreya’s arm and saying, \"Buddha Ancestor from the East, why lower yourself for a few Little demons who don’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth? The profundity of the Primordial Dao Fruit is immense, and now that the Taoist Master is starting to preach, it’s a rare opportunity to listen to good doctrine. Why not come with me to listen? These folks can handle the rest here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder of the Southern Pole was relentless, pulling Maitreya Buddha toward the Supreme Pure Heaven without regard for Maitreya’s ashen face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two ascended to the Heavenly Court in this pull-and-tug manner, leaving the onlookers agape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One a Buddha, the other a renowned Immortal, and yet they exhibited such behavior—it was truly astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Maitreya holding the fort, King Niumo shook off his chains and laughed, \"What, are you still going to duke it out with me, old cow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Buddhist Sect glared in anger, their pride crushed in today’s confrontation. But they knew well that with King Niumo’s strength, continuing the battle would yield no result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they heard was a collective cold snort, as they sounded the retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the great battle came to an end. The battlefield within the vicinity of Zhilei Mountain was already a river of blood, with countless injured Little demons wailing incessantly in the pools of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides silently tidied up their decimated forces. This conflict had been costly for both parties, and now they urgently needed to return to lick their wounds and rebuild their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, peace was restored to Heaven and Earth, yet everyone knew that the Buddhist Sect would not let matters rest, and that they would return sooner or later to reclaim their honor, unless they left this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord!\" Hu Er and his companions, each bearing scars, fixed their intense gaze on King Niumo, hoping their leader would provide direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old cow remained silent, turned away, and headed straight back to his Cave Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this battle seemed a victory for him, it had also shattered the confidence in his heart. The vast chasm between him and Maitreya allowed him to see no hope of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere thought of Tathagata Buddha behind Maitreya sent shivers down his spine; he knew his defeat was already predetermined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he wished now was to return to his Cave Mansion and drown his sorrows in fine wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang looked upon the disarray with churning emotions. The battle had come quickly, and ended just as swiftly, yet was laden with deeper meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, the intervention of the Elder of the Southern Pole arrived at an opportune moment, though it greatly diminished the face of the Buddhist Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strife between Buddhism and Taoism revealed was chilling, and Maitreya’s retreat also suggested that the Buddhist Sect was still keen on avoiding a head-on clash with the Daoist Sect. After all, with the Three Pure Ones’ considerable strength and the multitude of adept masters in Daoism, an outright conflict would benefit no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, how long this concession would maintain peace was uncertain, for with the expansion of the Buddhist Sect, their ambition was also burning brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1310,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec127aa22d6a095722e7d60df14b7ceb4e145b9cec5d5b960561714175ee7b94","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-150","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-148",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
