Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1007 With a stroke of the vermilion brush, the Buddha severed his palm.
First, those Bodhisattvas or Arhats who directly attacked perished under this blow.

Then, the aftershocks of this attack continued to spread throughout the Buddhist kingdom, turning those magnificent palaces and pagodas into ruins. At the same time, in accordance with the intentions of the divine lords who had made the attack, they took away the lives of those in the Buddhist kingdom with unparalleled 'precision'.

For every head lost in a human temple, there is a corresponding number of Buddhist disciples who have died in the Buddhist kingdom.

—Perhaps it was a devout monk who worshipped the Buddha statue at Congshan Temple and chanted scriptures day and night to accumulate merit for it.

Perhaps he was a disciple of a Bodhisattva who appeared in a dream to the mortal world and designated Congshan Temple as his sacred site;

Perhaps it is an Arhat whose earthly reincarnation was ordained at Congshan Temple, whose golden Buddha image is being nourished by incense offerings from the human world...

Regardless of their cultivation level or the strength of their background, the 'value' of those who died was the same.

Every person is worth a head!
All of this looked as if the divine rulers who had launched this attack and formed a united front were still using the power of this attack to look down upon the Buddhist kingdom and accurately control that power to kill the Buddhist disciples within the kingdom.

Almost at the same instant, in the Great Thunderclap Temple, the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who had also established their own Buddhist kingdoms also showed strange expressions on their faces.

At that very instant, almost every Buddhist kingdom suffered an attack from those murderers from the Arctic Exorcism Institute!

Those murderous bastards who stepped into the human world and cleansed those Buddhist temples launched an attack on that contact temple almost simultaneously, and then, following the temple's backup plan, remotely invaded that Buddhist kingdom...

Let alone the Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the Buddhist realm.

During this process, even several incarnations of the Great Buddha were directly annihilated by the killing embryo of the Arctic Exorcism Institute.

"How dare you, Arctic Exorcism Institute!" In the Great Thunder Temple, a Buddha with a golden-white face shouted angrily, and then struck out with a palm from afar towards the human world.

Inside the Great Thunderclap Temple, all the Buddhas had somber expressions.

Buddhist temples can be said to be found throughout the five continents—even in the Eastern Continent of Sheng Shenzhou, which is the foundation of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect and a paradise of immortals, there are some small temples.

When the evil spirits of the Arctic Exorcism Institute descended to the mortal realm, some Buddhists in the Buddhist community considered tacitly allowing some Buddhist temples to be destroyed by the Arctic Exorcism Institute, thus justifying their actions and ensuring that Buddhism still had some respect for the heavenly rules.

Before the deities of the Arctic Exorcism Institute made their move, the Buddha of Buddhism, and even other immortals and gods in the world, had some guesses about which Buddhist temple the murderers of the Arctic Exorcism Institute would target.

But no one expected that the murderous bastards from the Arctic Exorcism Institute would choose to act directly in the human realm of the Central Region, and would do so under the oppression of my humanity!

The Central Realm is the very center of heaven and earth, and also the place where the most intense struggles take place!

Under that strict human order, every gap in the human realm of the Central Region can be said to be occupied by different forces—and no matter what the force is, as soon as a gap appears, a new force will immediately fall and occupy that gap.

It is precisely because of this that one can imagine how intense the struggle between the various traditions of heaven and earth in the human realm of the Central Region is!

The slayers of the Arctic Exorcism Institute directly took action in the Central Region, sweeping away Buddhist temples. One can imagine how great the uproar that would be!

In order to complete the heads corresponding to the sins, the murderous embryos of the Arctic Exorcism Institute directly attacked the corresponding Buddhist kingdoms from afar.

One can only imagine how many temples, once standing in the world, have vanished without a trace!

The impact that had on Buddhism was immense!

It should be noted that in the past, although Buddhism had spread to the human world, its existence had never been recognized by the human emperor or by the aristocratic families... Buddhism had always been regarded as a heretical and unorthodox path.

Under such circumstances, every temple established by Buddhism in the human world can be said to have been the culmination of countless efforts and dedication from the Buddhist community.

It is these temples that constitute Buddhism's influence on the human world!

And now... those temples, which took countless efforts and energy to establish in this world, have vanished in an instant, reduced to ashes...

As for the situation on Earth, after this night, once the Buddhist temples turn to dust, the places where the temples were originally built will immediately be occupied by other sects...

For Buddhism, the destruction of temples and pagodas is a truly heart-wrenching loss compared to the Buddhist disciples who died in that instant!
It was a real, devastating loss that even Buddhism suffered!

If the benefits that Buddhism gained from converting those immortals and gods who violated the heavenly rules after Ao Bing went into seclusion could be quantified into a specific number... then the losses to Buddhism caused by the temples in the human world that Ao Bing destroyed when he purged and cleansed Buddhism would far exceed the benefits that Buddhism gained from protecting those sinful immortals and evil gods.

Not to mention, after tonight, when ordinary people discover that the temples they were worshipping at just a few days ago have vanished in an instant, how terrible their impression of Buddhism will be...

For Buddhism, such a loss has already had a certain impact on the flourishing of Buddhism!

The question is: what if ordinary people thought that Buddhism couldn't even protect their own temples?

Ordinary people in the human world believe that temples are places where filth and depravity reside.

When ordinary people in the human world mention Buddhism, they frown.

In such circumstances, how can Buddhism take root in the hearts of ordinary people?

How then can Buddhism flourish?
This is why, in the Great Thunderclap Temple, a Buddha, in a fit of rage, brazenly attacked the mortals of the Central Region.

Aside from the fact that his own Buddhist kingdom was indeed attacked, the losses suffered by the entire Buddhist community as a result were far too great.

In the human realm of the Central Region, there is indeed a flow and suppression of humanity.

But at this point, Buddhism had finally gained the approval of the Human Emperor... Although the human realm still suppressed Buddhism to some extent, the degree of suppression was not high.

Thus, when this Buddha made his move, although he was still sitting high in Xiniu Hezhou, his palm strike directly pierced through space, instantly covering the entire Central Region Human Realm within his palm—the starlight that bathed the bodies of those murderous villains in the Central Region Human Realm transformed into Buddhist light at this moment.

It is none other than the great Buddhist supernatural power—the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand!
This palm strike from afar was clearly intended to directly suppress all those murderous bastards from the Arctic Exorcism Institute who had fallen below the bounds of humanity into the Buddhist realm!
At the same time that Buddha made his move, Ao Bing, who was sitting on the Execution Platform high in the sky, also made his move.

He raised the vermilion brush in his hand.

The unparalleled killing intent and sharpness on the Execution Platform converged on the tip of the brush in that instant.

The starlight from the eastern and western poles also flows and gathers at the tip of the pen.

"The Arctic Exorcism Institute is carrying out punishment."

Those who obstruct will be punished the same way.

"Anyone who lays a hand on the Arctic Exorcism Institute will be punished even more severely."

Ao Bing spoke calmly, and the vermilion brush in his hand already touched the ground.

"The Great Luo is not bound by heavenly rules." The Buddha who made the move chuckled, his smile full of mockery.

So what if it's an Arctic exorcism center?

So what if they try to obstruct the Arctic Exorcism Institute?

He is Ronaldo!

The Great Luo transcends time and space—though it has not transcended heaven and earth, it has transcended the rules of heaven!
"Wrong!" Ao Bing's voice rang out. "It's not that the Great Luo is exempt from the Heavenly Rules."

"But rather, it is a Great Luo who has departed from the mortal realm, and is not subject to the Heavenly Rules!"

It is those Great Luo Immortals who sit upright in their own dojos, in the spacetime they themselves have distorted, who are not bound by the Heavenly Rules.

Once a Great Luo Immortal steps out of their own Daoist temple, once a Great Luo Immortal steps into this world, then naturally, they will be bound by the Heavenly Rules.

As soon as he finished speaking, the vermilion brush in Ao Bing's hand had already changed from a dot to a hook.

The hook of the hook.

As its brushstrokes swept across the heavens and earth, an incomparably terrifying sharpness also blossomed within those brushstrokes.

Its sharpness originated from the Execution Platform.

It originates from the sharpness of the Western White Tiger Guardian God.

Even the killing that symbolizes war.

All of this was revealed in the cold light stirred by the brushstrokes.

Throughout the entire world, all cultivators who witnessed that cold light—from the juniors who had just embarked on their cultivation journey to the Great Luo Immortals—felt a chill that penetrated to their very bones and souls!

In an instant, the cold light intersected with the Buddha's light.

The Buddha's light, which originally covered the entire Central Region and was all-pervasive, now showed countless 'gaps' in this cold light.

In an instant, it was already soaked in that cold light.

The scene of "entering the space between things with nothingness" then appeared in the perception of all practitioners.

Then, the Buddha's light that had enveloped the human realm in the Central Region split in two!
"what!"

"Chengtian, how dare you!"

As the Buddha's light split in two, a shrill, painful scream filled with disbelief and boundless resentment suddenly erupted from the Great Thunder Temple in Xiniu Hezhou.

Inside the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Buddha who had made the move looked at his forearm in utter horror—there was nothing there!

But the hand that had made the move was completely severed by the vermilion brush in Ao Bing's hand!
"Chengtian, how dare you do this!"

The Buddha shouted angrily, his voice filled with boundless resentment!

Because what was crossed out by that stroke was not just his outstretched hand.

And his Buddhist kingdom!

When that final stroke was made, as his hand was severed from his grasp, the Buddha he had created—the embodiment of the Buddha Kingdom within his palm—was also severed along with that hand!

In other words, the severed hand was not an ordinary injury.

It is a wound!

It is an injury directly engraved on his Dao Fruit!
With this stroke of the vermilion brush, the Buddha who made the move not only lost his own hand, but also the great supernatural being of the Buddha Kingdom within his palm.

The divine powers belonging to the Great Luo were stripped away—even for the Great Luo, this was an extremely unbelievable thing!

“The changes of the Yellow River,” said the Three Immortals Island. Lady Yunxiao raised her head, put down the half-embroidered cloud-patterned handkerchief, and her eyes shone with unfathomable light.

As the progenitor of the art of array formation, and as the one who ascended to the Great Luo realm and even directly achieved great supernatural powers through it, Lady Yunxiao clearly recognized the silhouette of the Nine Turns Yellow River Transformation revealed in the cold light drawn by Ao Bing.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was originally a peerless formation comprehended by Lady Yunxiao. It has the profound power to destroy a person's three flowers and five qi. Even if you have an innate spiritual treasure to protect you, if you accidentally fall into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, your cultivation will be destroyed and you will be reduced to a mortal body.

However, this power is only effective against those below the Great Luo level.

For Da Luo, the wonder of the Yellow River's nine bends is something that is almost impossible to find.

However, at this moment, Lady Yunxiao clearly saw that Ao Bing directly integrated the Nine Turns of the Yellow River transformation into the brushstrokes, directly severing the Buddha's palm and along with his supernatural powers.

"Chengtian has fully studied the wonders of the Yellow River's nine bends!"

Besides Lady Yunxiao, the Ten Heavenly Kings on Nine Dragons Island also sensed the change in their power from the downward stroke of the brush.

That's a variation of the Ten Deadly Formations!

"Has Fellow Daoist Chengtian comprehended the Ten Deadly Formations to this extent?"

Beyond the disciples of the Jie Sect, countless cultivators across the five continents and the underworld sensed this scene and comprehended some unparalleled killing power with that single stroke!
……

"You shouldn't ask me how I dare."

"The question should be: how dare you?"

Ao Bing's voice echoed from the Execution Platform directly into the Great Thunderclap Temple.

"When the Great Luo enters the mortal world, it means that he is bound by the rules of heaven."

"Although you sit high on Mount Ling, if one of your hands extends out of Mount Ling, then that hand that extends out of Mount Ling is naturally bound by the Heavenly Rules."

“You used this to attack the Arctic Exorcism Institute, so I will use this to cut off your hand.”

"What are you going to do about it!"

Ao Bing glanced at the vermilion brush in his hand and shook the brush tip with some disdain.

As the brushstrokes flowed, golden Buddha's blood seemed to fall—not onto the heavens and earth, but directly into the sea of ​​blood, where it stirred up waves.

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, those who had just committed acts of slaughter and destruction, the murderers from the Arctic Exorcism Institute, had already left the mortal realm and were heading in different directions towards the three major continents beyond Xiniuhezhou.

The Buddha's palm and Buddha's kingdom that they had just faced had no effect on them whatsoever—and in fact, that was indeed the case!

Beings at the level of the Great Luo are indeed terrifying.

But for these killers who have been active on battlefields outside the region for many years, who hasn't faced the Great Luo?
