Chapter 411: Chapter 368, Pitiable Buddhism

Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian snorted coldly and said, "Lord of Demon Tribulation? Nothing but a mere demon!"

The demon roared furiously and charged toward Hao Tian, shouting, "Stop flaunting your status as the Heavenly Emperor in front of me!

Right now, I’ll show you the prowess of this demon. Do you really think a mere big array can shield out my Heavenly Demon Clan?!

Hao Tian, I will bring chaos to your Three Realms, making them a living hell. I will be the new Master of the Three Realms, with the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of all beings in my hands."

The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Image’s gaze turned icy as he said, "By all means, try!" He extended his hand and pressed it towards the massive demon head.

A purple-golden palm seal appeared, covering the void, with palm lines clear and distinct as if they were great rivers.

Underneath the palm seal, the enormous demon head exploded with a bang, countless Heavenly Demons wailing as they turned into black smoke and gradually faded away to nothing.

The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Image also faded away, leaving only the Heaven and Earth Net Formation to separate the Endless Void from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Within the Zining Palace of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor sat in the main seat, muttering to himself, "Kui Gang? What is his origin? Why does he seem so familiar to me!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Haotian Mirror flew out, within it landscapes flowing. It quickly locked onto a cultivator seated in meditation in the Cave Mansion.

The Cave Mansion was sealed by layers of arrays, and an old man dressed in a gray hemp garment sat cross-legged on a stone bed, meditating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy gathered, and the old man’s aura burst forth explosively, breaking through from the True Immortal Realm into the Profound Immortal Realm. Before the old man could even rejoice, strands of Demonic Qi began to seep out from the surrounding space, merging into the old man’s body.

Immediately, his body trembled, his face alternately contorting ferociously and then flushing red, as his Demonic Qi surged like flames.

The old man’s eyes snapped open, bloodshot, and he let out a crazed cackle saying, "This body now belongs to me!" Behind him, a black hole formed and sucked the old man into it.

...

Inside the Zining Palace of the Heavenly Court, Hao Tian said gravely, "How is this possible? How could there still be Heavenly Demons circumventing the Heaven and Earth Net Formation?"

Moments later, Gold Star Taibai hurried into the palace, bowed, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Demon turmoil has happened again. This time the afflicted Immortal Gods did not go on a killing spree but have all fled into the Heavenly Demon Realm."

The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian spoke calmly, "I am already aware!"

Gold Star Taibai hesitated before continuing, "Your Majesty, after the Heaven and Earth Net Formation was established, the Buddhist Disciples left the Spiritual Mountain, proclaiming that simply by reciting Buddhist Scriptures constantly, one can fend off the Heavenly Demons. Now many cultivators are heading to the West to obtain Buddhist Scriptures."

Hao Tian snorted and said, "When the Demon Tribulation descended, they closed their doors tight. Thinking that I had fended off the Demon Tribulation, they now openly welcome everyone again, promoting Buddhist Scriptures. How could such behavior last?

Taibai, Bai Jin has already returned, you go and invite him."

"Yes!" Gold Star Taibai bowed and hastened out.

...

The Earth Immortal Realm encountered the Demon Tribulation once again, leaving countless Immortal Gods fearing for themselves.

In a beautiful mountain peak, a group of Immortal Gods gathered to discuss the dharma gate to cope with the Demon Tribulation.

A woman in red said with concern, "The Demon Tribulation has happened again. My fellow Daoist Xuan Xiaozi has also been taken advantage of by the Heavenly Demons and has fallen into the Demon Path."

An old man in green holding a walking stick shook his head and said, "My fellow Daoist An Tu has also fallen into the Demon Path, even going on a killing spree and slaughtering many. With a heavy heart, I had to kill him."

A black-clad swordsman said gravely, "Are we doomed to step into the Demon Path as well?"

The lady in red said sadly, "Once you break through, the Heavenly Demons attack. If that’s the case, better to just cripple our cultivation! What future is there left to speak of for the Primordial World?!"

A big man spoke in a deep voice: "I have heard that the Western Buddhist Scriptures can restrain the Heavenly Demons; why don’t we go to the West to seek the True Scripture?"

The mountaintop fell silent immediately.

A red-clothed woman said doubtfully: "Can the Buddhist Scriptures truly withstand the Heavenly Demons?"

"Many Immortal Gods have already gone to the West, it must be true!"

An elderly man in green clothes said helplessly: "We have no other choice but to try, let’s go, we’ll all go seek the True Scripture."

"Let’s go!"

"If they don’t give it to us, we’ll snatch it!"

...

Swarms of Immortal Gods flew towards the West, crossing the skies of the Primordial World, making the West suddenly a gathering place for Immortal Gods.

Atop the towering Spiritual Mountain, Buddha Light shone widely, Sanskrit chanted, and at the very summit of the highest Spiritual Mountain sat a Buddhist Temple, within which Randeng Buddha sat upon the Lotus Platform, with Guanyin, Manjusri, Universal Virtue Bodhisattva and others standing to the left, and Mile, Mahasthamaprapta, Pharmacist and others sitting to the right.

Guanyin said with a smile: "The Buddha has great wisdom, great resolve, and great decision-making ability. By simply spreading a rumor, many gods from the East have been gathered. Such a tactic truly earns the reverence of all gods."

Manjusri Bodhisattva said with a smile: "Buddhism will prosper and flourish under the Buddha’s leadership."

Universal Virtue Bodhisattva looked towards Mile and others, saying with a smile: "How could the Buddha Mother be wrong? Some of the Buddha Bodhisattvas should also feel at ease now."

On the main seat, Randeng smiled, his vast voice echoed within the Buddha Tower: "The Buddha Mother said, our Buddhism is to prosper for a Calamity. It is not just my sole effort."

On the other side, Mile and others remained silent. Buddhism at this moment was indeed prospering due to Randeng’s words; there was nothing to argue about!

Boom~ Suddenly the area near the Spiritual Mountain began to shake, with the flow of energy in turmoil.

Randeng and other Bodhisattvas all turned their heads to look outside, where thick Demonic Qi near the Spiritual Mountain kept rising. Hundreds of Devilish Cultivators burst into laughter as they soared into the sky, engaging in a great battle with the converging Immortal Gods. For a moment, Immortal Techniques, Buddhist Law, Magic Treasures crisscrossed through the sky, Cultivators shouting angrily, Demon Immortals shrieking, the battle shattering mountain and river, fracturing the earth.

Randeng cried out in alarm: "This is bad!"

Mile suddenly laughed and exclaimed: "The Buddha wished to rise during the Demon Tribulation but underestimated the might of the Demon Tribulation. Now that Immortal Gods have gathered, and Heavenly Demons follow closely, not only did this not cause our West to thrive greatly, the Immortal and Demon War has brought chaos to the West, an unwise decision indeed!"

Mahasthamaprapta shook his head and lamented: "Ah~ Buddha, you have made a miscalculation. The Immortal and Demon War has shattered mountains and Earth Veins, causing damage to the foundations of our Buddhism, who shall bear the recompense for such karma?"

Pharmacist also helplessly said: "If it were so easy to flourish Buddhism, our Buddhism would have already prospered greatly."

The three of them shook their heads, their faces full of helplessness as they vanished within the Buddha Light.

Randeng, Guanyin, Mahasthamaprapta, their faces all looked troubled.

Guanyin looked towards the main seat and said: "Buddha!"

The magnificent voice of Randeng filled the space: "I underestimated the Demon Tribulation; even the Heaven and Earth Net Formation couldn’t hold back.

Guanyin, Manjusri, Universal Virtue, lead three hundred Buddhas, go to exterminate the demons and promote Buddhism!"

Guanyin, Manjusri, Universal Virtue Bodhisattva brought their hands together and bowed their heads, responding: "Yes!" They stepped upon the Golden Lotus and floated towards the outside.

As all Three Realms plunged into panic, Bai Jin also stepped out from the Bird’s Nest, having made some plans.

Just as he stepped out of the Bird’s Nest, he encountered Gold Star Taibai who had come to ask for assistance.

Gold Star Taibai quickly bowed and said: "Emperor, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
