Chapter 516: Buddha Nature is Neither Good nor Bad
Lin Sanren, Mu Xiaoxiao and the others were all experienced practitioners who were accustomed to the dangers of storms and waves. They had already reacted without Xu Yuanchang's reminder.

The Buddha, who originally suppressed the devil, may have lost his true nature.

They colluded with the devil to set up this trap and took great pains to lure them here. They had no good intentions.

In a state of desperation, they scattered like birds and beasts, each using their own best tricks to escape into the distance.

No one cared about the life and death of Wurong and Xuanyin who fell into the hands of the Buddha's phantom. Facing the tenth-level demon and the Buddha, everyone was in danger and just wanted to escape from the danger with their lives.

Some people secretly resented the two old monks for lying to them and luring them here, causing them so much harm.

"My fellow donors, since we are here, please stay and help me to completely subdue the demon Gu Luo."

The Buddha's shadow swallowed the relics and the wooden fish in one gulp, emitting a booming Buddhist sound.

A ray of white light spread out three thousand miles away in an instant.

Accompanied by the devil's wanton laughter.

"Little guys, none of you can escape. Help me merge with the old monk Nanshu."

"Hehehe, Buddha and devil are one and the same, there is no difference between them, your merits are immeasurable."

The void storm that had subsided previously became violent again, and a huge vortex reflux area formed within a range of three thousand miles. The Buddha and the devil joined forces to set traps, determined to keep the monks and demon cultivators who were lured here.

A dark golden light suddenly appeared and hit Xu Yuanchang from behind as he was struggling to walk.

"Bang", the figure and the green light dissipated into the void.

Ye Changmeng, who was flying nearby, made a move. An exquisite pagoda flew out, emitting mysterious light curtains to block the second dark golden light that followed. With a loud "bang", the eight-story pagoda shattered into countless colorful lights, splashing into the void, and instantly blooming like fireworks.

Xu Yuanchang appeared in the air with a pale face. If Lao Ye had not rescued him in time, he would have almost thrown away the bronze tablet to protect himself.

Even though they were three or four hundred miles away, the Buddha's attack was a killing move, and there were torrents of water sweeping everywhere.

There was no way he could use the breeze to cast the phantom and escape.

Mu Xiaoxiao then threw out a bright pearl, which instantly transformed into overlapping talisman lights and shadows, gathering and dispersing like swimming fish and changing like stars, dissolving the third and fourth dark golden lights that were attacking Junior Brother Xu at the same time.

Her experience and strength far surpassed the newly promoted Ye Changmeng. She controlled Mingzhu with ease and protected Xu Yuanchang.

Buddha's attack was dispersed, otherwise she wouldn't have been so relaxed.

Xu Yuan was overjoyed. With Mu Xiaoxiao's help, he finally had nothing to worry about. He shouted, "Don't break free from my golden light."

He immediately made a gesture to activate the Fantasy Fairy Ring, and a three-dimensional golden rune fell. He wrapped the golden light around Lao Ye and Mu Xiaoxiao, who were several miles away, and shouted, "Come here, quickly!"

Mu Xiaoxiao and Ye Changmeng immediately rushed to Xu Yuanchang's side. Both of them were quick-witted people and guessed Xu Yuanchang's intention.

The golden light tightened and shuttled into the sky.

The Buddha's shadow chanted a Buddhist name, and his fingers made a seal that turned into bony claws.

Heading towards the golden light group that was escaping into the distance, it was extremely mysterious.

The violent void suddenly became quiet.

Xu Yuanchang felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart and threw the three new strands of original energy onto the platform of creation. The magic power and original power in his body rushed to the Fantasy Fairy Ring. At the moment of life and death, he felt that he had mastered the magical effects of the Fantasy Fairy Ring a little more and quickly tightened the ball of golden light.

Only by shrinking the protective area can one withstand the combined attack of the Buddha and the devil.

Green annual rings appeared on the surface of the golden light, rotating violently in circles.

Ye Changmeng and Mu Xiaoxiao's bodies shrank and became flatter. They were in the golden light and saw the Buddha cast a spell and realized that danger was about to come.

"Throw out the pearl and block it!"

Xu Yuanchang controlled the golden light to move in a subtle arc and suddenly shouted.

Mu Xiaoxiao did not hesitate or feel distressed at all. The pearl she had cultivated for thousands of years flew out of the golden light ball. Before the connection was cut off, she shouted softly: "Transform into a shield!"

Countless lights and runes burst out, transforming into a strange overlapping and elongated shield formation.

"Bang bang bang", the spear shadows entwined with dark gold and black took shape and were unstoppable. In the blink of an eye, they pierced through the shield array runes, and a series of explosions shook the void.

"Puff", the spear shadow, which had been consumed by more than half, pierced into the ball of golden light.

With the huge force impacting, golden light instantly flew out hundreds of miles away. Xu Yuanchang, who had been prepared, withstood the influence of weightlessness and accurately stabbed the strange spear head with the stick sword in his hand.

"Bang", the spear shadow dissipated, and the golden light immediately got rid of the huge pulling suction force.

The divine light of creation and red fire filled the small space, burning away the ferocious evil spirit.

Xu Yuanchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, with the help of Mu Xiaoxiao, he was out of danger and finally escaped from the attacks of Buddha and demon.

As for the rest of us, we can only wish for the best.

In the small space, the three of them were silent and no one said much.

Practicing is difficult, and there are thorns and traps at every step.

Lin Sanren, Xuan Xiao and others watched helplessly as the ball of golden light escaped from the attack of the Buddha's phantom with only the loss of one precious pearl. They could only smile bitterly in their hearts.

If I had known this earlier, I would have gotten closer to that guy and taken advantage of his good luck.

"You two should run away separately, the farther the better."

"Fight that bastard."

"Buddha and devil are in different worlds, Senior Nanshu, please wake up quickly."

"Think of a solution quickly, or else we will be defeated one by one by the devil."

Having lost all the advantages of time and place, everyone was like a pile of scattered sand, each acting on their own and not daring to unite to resist.

The people who were struggling hard in the vortex reflux area made various noises.

Some people have been blown up by the continuous attacks of the Buddha's phantom, and thousands of years of cultivation have been destroyed. The situation is critical. The Buddha attacks the weak in an orderly manner, and the white Buddha light spreads out in circles, making the sticky pressure within a range of 3,000 miles gradually heavier, trapping the panicked people.

High in the sky, suddenly, disaster clouds formed rapidly.

Monk Wu Rong knew that he was doomed, and his cultivation was restricted. He took advantage of the opportunity when the Buddha's shadow was distracted by the golden light to complete the Buddha's secret mantra, communicate with heaven and earth, and bring about the great calamity of ascension.

At the critical moment of life and death, he decided to follow the example of Jia Shusheng and use heavenly thunder to deal with the Buddha who had fallen into the devil's way.

Doing something knowing that it is impossible is a feeling of deep helplessness.

"Nanshu monk, are you going to ruin our cooperation out of kindness?"

Gu Luo's complaining voice was heard in the air.

"Puff", a bone spur flashed by at an incredibly fast speed, instantly exploding Wurong and Xuanyin's bodies and absorbing the two splashed blood mists and souls without leaving a drop behind.

The calamity clouds rolled in and the power of heaven gathered, but the great calamity did not dissipate just because the target disappeared.

Gu Luo stared at the sky with his one eye, and suddenly understood what was going on. He roared like thunder: "Nan Shu, you deliberately induced Monk Wu Rong to bring about the heavenly calamity! You are not affected by the 'evil thoughts'. You want to use me to hone your skills and become a golden body arhat? Don't even think about it!"

Countless bone claws waved, launching an explosive attack towards the thousand-foot-tall Buddha shadow.

The Buddha stretched out thousands of arms, countering each move and dissolving the techniques that he had mastered by heart.

There are waves of Buddhist chants rising and falling, forming a reverberating sound in the void.

Seeing that the scholar, Lin Sanren, Xiong Youzhao and others were overjoyed, the Buddha and the devil were fighting each other, and the internal strife brought about a great heavenly calamity. They hurriedly fled to a distant place.

With two loud bangs, Fairy Xiyue and Xia Kuzhi were blown up by the dark golden light, and the blood mist in the sky disappeared instantly.

"elder sister!"

"Kuwei!"

Fairy Nanzhi and Lin Sanren cried out in grief.

"Boom", the thunder poured down like a flood, instantly submerging the Buddha's shadow and the one-eyed demon.

The sticky pressure that had trapped everyone was relieved, and under the power of heaven and earth, the void storm went from being chaotic to orderly, flowing continuously according to certain rules.

Lin Sanren cursed in his heart as he swam downstream, quickly getting away from the dangerous torrent and looking for a way to return.

Others displayed their magical powers, or went away from the tribulation area in groups of three or four.

Although he escaped the attacks of the Buddha and the demon, it was still unknown whether he could escape safely.

The scholar looked back and saw that the heavenly calamity two thousand miles away was becoming more and more intense. Monk Nanshu joined forces with the devil and killed many ninth-level masters in order to seize the monks' essence, blood, and souls.

Just as the ninth-order Buddha regards the eighth-order Buddha as ants, the tenth-order Buddha regards the ninth-order Buddhas as just slightly larger ants. There is a huge difference between immortals and mortals, and the merits and rules of the upper realm cannot restrain those who want to become immortals or Buddhas.

Buddha nature is like the devil, good and evil are hard to predict.

He saw that Monk Nanshu seemed to be gaining a slight advantage in the battle with the devil.

Alas, none of them are good people, and he is still worried about his own safety.

"Nanshu, you can't defeat me even with the help of the heavenly thunder. Stop it. Fighting further will only hurt both of you. There is no point."

The demon was at a disadvantage, and his voice echoed amid the thunder.

"Gu Luo, did you enjoy devouring those two monks?"

The Buddhist sound is so magnificent that it drowns out the thunder in the sky.

The demon suddenly felt something was wrong. Despite all his precautions, he still fell into the Buddha's trap. There were spots of Buddha's light flashing inside his body, and the lightning struck his body like millions of red-hot needles piercing his body. The demonic energy was weakened layer by layer.

"The Buddha said: All Tathagatas have their origins in the perfect illumination of pure awareness, and only by permanently eliminating ignorance can they attain Buddhahood."

The shadow of Buddha under the great calamity chanted scriptures and gradually solidified and shrank.

Golden light flows from inside to outside, and Buddha nature is like a thick liquid.

"Nanshu, don't be so proud. I am immortal in the upper realm. I will sleep for a few thousand years at most."

The demon was no longer able to resist the endless thunder and shouted.

The Buddhist sound roared, shaking the void.

"My merits and virtues are complete. I will take you to the fairyland and I will not leave you behind."

"I will explode my demonic body rather than go to the Immortal Realm..."

"Gu Luo, this is a different time now. You can't do anything about it. The thunder is penetrating, and you can't self-destruct for the time being."

The voice of the Buddha is the same as always, without any change.

"..."

The golden light traveled through the void and finally landed on the familiar rocky ground.

Ye Changmeng and Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the seven magnificent planets hanging high in the sky, and they immediately recognized them as the seven realms of the upper realm.

After a long silence, Mu Xiaoxiao asked bitterly, "Does your master have any other instructions?"

Although he escaped, he felt bad when he thought that Lao Lin, Xia Kuzhi and others might die. The devil was about to escape, but the world was so big that there was nowhere to hide.

She was a little confused for a moment.

Xu Yuanchang shook his head: "Really not. I suspect that the big event that Master mentioned is not a demonic disaster, because the time doesn't match."
