Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Tianwai Village.

The elderly Zheng Lixin sat alone under the peach tree with his eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came, and peach blossoms fluttered down.

Immediately afterwards, the leaves turned yellow and the branches turned to ash...

Snapped!
The wooden chair beneath him shattered into pieces, and Zheng Lixin collapsed onto the dust, staring wide-eyed in astonishment!
Watching helplessly as the houses, thatched huts, paths, stone bridges, and lush greenery of the entire village vanished like a painting set ablaze, turning to ashes in an instant.

The wind swept by, and dust covered the sky.

A massive, bronze-colored wall, forming an arch, suddenly appeared in the surrounding space and time, towering thousands of feet high with its top invisible!
High in the heavens, a ray of golden light slanted down and enveloped him.

"This...this is..."

Zheng Lixin's face was ashen, his lips twitched repeatedly, and he futilely stretched out a withered old hand, trying to block the sunlight and brush away the dust.

But in the end...

It still couldn't fall.

In the blink of an eye, it rotted into bones and turned to dust!
“Ah, ahhhh…”

A little girl, her face full of anxiety, stumbled and rushed through the dust, unable to speak, but only managed to scoop up a handful of dirt!
And then, all we could do was watch helplessly as he vanished with the wind!
……

The Western Buddhist Kingdom, atop Mount Sumeru.

Above the rolling clouds, a golden light pierced through like a sword!
Where the light falls, golden lotuses bloom, just like the warmth of human life!
"Amitabha!"

Wu Jie clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. His tattered gold-threaded kasaya billowed in the wind as his emaciated figure fell to the ground, bowing down devoutly.

"Amitabha!"

Behind him, millions of Buddhists chanted in unison and prostrated themselves.

hum!
A loud bang suddenly came from inside the Great Ci'en Temple.

The large vat that was originally standing upright in the center suddenly shattered.

Fragments flew everywhere, but when they landed on the ground, they turned into agate and glass, shining brightly in the golden light!

"Amitabha!"

Qin Lin, who had been trapped there for so long, took a step out.

Wherever their feet landed, light shone forth.

One lotus blossom at every step, lotuses in full bloom.

He walked through the crowd of kneeling monks.

He walked all the way to the front of the hall and chanted loudly like a bell: "The Buddha is only me, everyone is inclined to good, so where does evil come from? The Buddha is only others, if each one is different, so where does evil come from? The Buddha is only one, billions of them are the same, so where does emptiness come from?"

The sounds of Buddhist chants, like the tolling of bells, filled the air.

Golden light shines everywhere, turning all thoughts to ashes.

A single thought leads to enlightenment, and in an instant one attains Buddhahood!
……

Xiangzhou, Zhongfu.

"Empress Zhong! Empress Lu! Come and see!"

A young maidservant rushed in, calling out as she hurried inside, "Your Highnesses, come and see! A golden light has appeared out of nowhere, illuminating the entire city and making all the flowers bloom beautifully! It's so lovely! Even a breath of it smells wonderful..."

The little maid was shouting and yelling all the way, but as soon as she stepped into the inner door, she was immediately startled.

Lady Zhong was dressed in tight clothes, and Lady Lu was fully armored, each carrying a sword and scabbling hurriedly outside.

Both women had furrowed brows and exuded murderous intent. In fact, flames were emanating from the clenched palms of Consort Zhong, and Consort Lu's broadsword was half-drawn from its sheath, as if they were eager to fight to the death!
"Your...Your Highnesses, this, this is..."

Although they had long known that one of the two empresses was fiercely opposed to evil and the other had a fiery temper, they had both been beaming with joy and never lost their temper since giving birth to the prince at the same time.

But what has happened now?
……

Beneath the Half-Faced Buddha in Liangzhou, within the Heavenly Palace in the far north, on the banks of the Nu River in Yunzhou…

The Three Saints Cave and Seventy-Two Prefectures, the Jade Lake of Golden Summit Mountain, the Jade Flower Steps of Jingzhou...

Golden light shines brightly over the vast land of China!
Whether it's the Gobi Desert in Victoria or the waves of the East China Sea, every inch of China shines with golden light!
Whether it's the skinny dogs of Liangzhou or the impoverished people of the far north, every living being in this world is subject to this great refuge!
What the world doesn't know is that above this dazzling golden light that spans tens of thousands of miles, raging clouds have already shattered the sky! If it weren't for the golden light, the world would probably be completely obliterated by now, with not a single breath remaining!
……

The Demon Kingdom of the South China Sea, the Island of Ten Thousand Demons.

The once majestic and imposing Wansheng Palace, which had stood tall for thousands of years and was either worshipped or terrified by countless demons, has long since turned into fine dust.

A gust of wind came, and the dust returned to dust, and the earth returned to earth, forming a huge little hill on the old site.

From a distance, it looks like a giant, towering tomb.

Above the grave, amidst countless bright and dazzling golden halos, stood a majestic figure in blue.

At this moment, Lin Ji's disheveled hair was flying wildly, each strand shimmering with golden light!

A blue robe flutters in the wind, billowing and swaying, a hundred rhythms rising from within the sleeves and beneath the robe!

Opposite him, behind that giant tomb, stood a solitary octagonal gray pavilion.

"what!"

The little boy, who had been soundly asleep leaning against a stone pillar with drool dripping down his face, suddenly opened his arms and stretched out a big, satisfied yawn.

"Lin Ji, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

The boy smiled slightly and stood up.

Wow...

As he stood up, the gray-tiled pavilion collapsed instantly, turning into dust!
The child put his hands behind his back and took a slow, deliberate step.

“My original surname was Zhang. My ancestors were nameless. They lived in obscurity in the wilderness. I fell in love with a fox and gave birth to my twin sons.”

The boy seemed to be casually reciting a song as he climbed higher and higher, ascending to the heavens.

Behind them, images of colorful clouds rolled out.

A man and a woman stood side by side, each holding a swaddled infant in their arms.

The man was tall and imposing, and the woman was alluring and beautiful, but a huge tail was hidden behind them, swaying.

“My elder brother is kind and compassionate. He traveled westward and became a monk.”

"Yes!"

The boy chuckled and said, "He not only became a monk, but also a great monk unlike any other in history. People call him—Buddha."

"Buddha?!"

Lin Ji was taken aback.

No wonder I saw the true form of the Buddha at the secret place of the mirage wall that day. Among the three words he gave me was: "I leave incense before the Buddha, my surname is Zhang!"
It was originally their family's surname!

Can……

Buddha Tathagata was one of the five sons of the Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan. If this child claims to be Tathagata's younger brother, then who is he?!
Just now, he released the power of the Ninth Realm, transforming it into universal golden light to desperately block the Qingqiu Grand Sacrifice.

At this moment, beams of light were rapidly returning, and in that instant, before the Nine Realms could recover, they were once again trapped in the Dao Domain.

What's even more astonishing is that this child was clearly in that demon fox domain just now, and after this battle of nine realms that was comparable to the destruction of the world, he was completely unharmed, and even managed to seize such a brief gap to trap me into the domain!

This!
What kind of realm must that be?!
What kind of scheming is this?!
"My heart is set on the Dao, my intention is to become strong. The masses are but straw dogs, yet I stand awe-inspiring in the heavens. My sword holds no form, my great law has no limit!"

The boy continued walking forward. By this time, he had grown taller and transformed into a young man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth. He was not exactly handsome, but he was certainly dignified.

Behind me, the floating clouds drifted with the wind, revealing another scene.

Sword beams flew wildly in all directions, and figures fell one after another. Corpses littered the fields and floated on the river.

"Back then, I had already broken free of my shackles and was on the verge of reaching the Ninth Realm. Hmm..."

The young man glanced at Lin Ji and said, "You are in a similar situation right now."

"Unexpectedly, that scoundrel Xuanyuan meddled in other people's business, accusing me of rebelling against the Heavenly Gang. Then... he destroyed my physical body and ruined my cultivation!"

"This is outrageous!" (End of Chapter)
