Chapter 521: Chapter 449: The Power to Annihilate the Expounding Teachings Sect

Above Jambudvipa, the Black Lotus blocked the Chaos Pearl and also obstructed the Pangu Banner.

Wu Tian, facing Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, still found himself somewhat inferior.

However, with the Supreme Treasure Black Lotus in his hands, Yuanshi Celestial Venerable was temporarily unable to deal with Wu Tian.

Successfully stalling Yuanshi Celestial Venerable left the other Quasi-Saints in trouble.

Saint Taiqing and Wang Yang were nowhere to be found, as the Leader of the Tongtian Sect returned with the Slaying Immortals Sword Array, causing many Quasi-Saints to hesitate before its sharpness.

Moreover, there was Sun Wukong, who had left the battlefield, Yaochi who arrived with Wu Tian, and the Jade Emperor, who was observing the scene; it could be said that in terms of the number of Quasi-Saints, Buddhism and the Expounding Teachings Sect had utterly lost.

"Yaochi, how dare you collude with the Demon Clan!"

Zhun Ti of Buddhism, seeing Yaochi arriving with Wu Tian and recalling the few Quasi-Saints in the Demon Realm that managed to overtake Mount Meru, realized there must have been external help.

Now with Yaochi’s arrival, who helped Wu Tian was self-evident.

Besides feeling furious, Zhun Ti was also frightened.

He had never expected two people from the Celestial Court to side with Wu Tian or that they would first seize Mount Meru, taking for themselves the Pool of Merit there.

"Zhun Ti, the Great Calamity of the Three Realms isn’t for Buddhism to dictate alone. Since it’s called the Great Calamity of the Three Realms, how could I, Haotian Yaochi, not step forward?"

The Jade Emperor was completely unconcerned by Zhun Ti’s words.

All of these people would stop at nothing for their own gain.

Since he could no longer rely on Buddhism to solidify his position, he had to rely on himself.

Besides, when all the Saints discussed and decided on the Great Calamity of the Three Realms, they hadn’t consulted him at all.

After all, he was a disciple of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and now the master of the Three Realms.

How could he not be furious that such a matter as the Great Calamity of the Three Realms was decided without his consultation?

"Haotian, your collaboration with the Demon Realm will doom you eternally!"

Zhun Ti, finding himself increasingly outmatched, could only try to strike at Haotian verbally.

Especially since Haotian was not alone nearby. Even though Zhun Ti was a Saint, currently with only one Quasi-Saint Incarnation, he indeed was outmatched.

"Fellow Daoist, help me confine him for a moment!"

Haotian said to Nuwa.

Although Nuwa did not understand what Haotian intended to do, she nodded, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers unfolded, covering the sky and darkening the sun.

The might emanating from it chilled one’s heart.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers was also a Supreme Treasure. As its scroll spread out, once someone was enveloped by it, not even a Saint could easily escape.

However, according to Haotian’s request, the main goal this time was to confine Zhun Ti.

Thus, the treasure light in the Map circulated, and the mountains and rivers moved on their own within the painting, dropping tens of thousands of golden lights upon Zhun Ti.

For a moment, Zhun Ti indeed could not move an inch.

This was the unique might of a Supreme Treasure; not even the power of the Great Dao could break through.

He could only rely on the circulation of his own mana, resisting with great difficulty.

"Take him!"

Haotian formed a seal with his hands and then waved mightily.

A beam from the Haotian Mirror shone upon Zhun Ti, intending to collect him into the mirror just as it had the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng.

"Reverse!"

Zhun Ti was a Saint after all. Although trapped and unable to move, just as the beam was about to hit him, space shifted, and he exchanged places with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva nearby.

It was like instantaneous movement, with Samantabhadra appearing in Zhun Ti’s place and Zhun Ti completely swapping positions with him, coolly engaging Xingtian in combat.

Samantabhadra, who had just been activating magical treasures, was startled and unprepared, and the beam from the Haotian Mirror already shot upon him.

With no resistance, he was taken in.

"He escaped so quickly!"

Haotian said bitterly.

Though his Haotian Mirror could confine Quasi-Saints inside, it wasn’t invincible.

Having already taken three Quasi-Saints into it, if he thought about collecting more Quasi-Saints, he feared the Haotian Mirror might not hold up.

This was precisely why he was so irate at failing to capture Zhun Ti.

Aside from Wu Tian, no one harbored greater hatred for the Saints than Haotian.

Because it was the Saints who controlled the Celestial Court, turning him into a puppet of the court, even disregarding him.

For the ambitious Haotian God, this was utterly unacceptable.

But now, Buddhism was no longer a force to be reckoned with.

With three Quasi-Saints taken by the Haotian Mirror, only Zhun Ti, Jieyin, and Guanyin remained.

Among these more than twenty Quasi-Saints, Buddhism’s strength was undoubtedly the weakest.

"Haotian, Buddhism and you are irreconcilable!"

As Jieyin defended, he said to Haotian.

But on the other side, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect, sneering, had already come killing, making Jieyin dare not be careless.

Once Buddhism, with ten Quasi-Saints in its glory, had fallen to now only three struggling to persist.

Buddhism, once glorious, had completely deteriorated.

Wu Tian was very pleased with this situation.

Because the weaker Buddhism’s power, the lesser the force Tathagata could borrow when he returned thirty-three years later,

by then, Buddhism would have completely become a thing of the past, having nothing more to do with them.

"Buddhism, do you still have the nerve to call yourselves Buddhists?"

Wang Yang, returning from above, just heard Jieyin shout this phrase, scoffed at Jieyin, and without making a move, stood in the void and spoke.

"Buddhism claims to be for all beings, but do beings still believe in you now? The Pool of Merit is already destroyed, and both Great Luo and Taiyi Golden Immortals have fallen entirely."

"With only a few Quasi-Saints left, do you still think of yourselves as Buddhism? I’m afraid even the new Buddhism established by Xuanzang
