Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

The three great masters of the Western Sect turned pale, and Manjushri's sword of wisdom clattered to the ground; the members of the Jie Sect were both surprised and delighted, and Bixiao even covered her mouth in excitement.

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha sighed, and the string of his rosary snapped, scattering 108 Bodhi seeds all over the ground.

"Amitabha Buddha, oh, calamity!"

Lin Zhu sheathed his precious sword, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield like lightning.

The Western Arhats bowed their heads, not daring to meet his gaze; the disciples of the Jie Sect stood tall, their eyes filled with reverence.

Suddenly, Lin Zhu's gaze sharpened, locking onto a figure that was quietly retreating. With long ears that reached his shoulders and a lewd face, it was none other than Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, who had betrayed the Jie Sect and joined the Western Sect!

"Long-eared Immortal of Fixed Light".

Lin Zhu's voice wasn't loud, but it made the man tremble.

Are you ready to die?

Dingguang Huanxi Buddha forced himself to remain calm and chuckled dryly, "Fellow Daoist Linlin is joking. This humble monk is now a follower of the Western Sect."

The golden body of Dipankara Buddha trembled slightly in the void, and the joy bells held on his eighteen arms made irregular, crisp sounds.

He felt a sense of absurdity he had never experienced in billions of years. He, a dignified veteran of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, was being stared at with chills down his spine by a junior who had just been promoted.

"Buddha of Joy, why is your bell shaking?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang stood on a blue lotus, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lin has scared you out of your wits?"

"nonsense!"

Dipankara Buddha suppressed his fear and roared simultaneously with all twenty-four heads, his voice echoing and reverberating beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

He clasped his eighteen arms together in a sudden gesture, trying to calm himself, only to find that golden sweat was seeping from his palms.

Lin Zhu came stepping through the air, and with each step he took, a blood-red lotus bloomed beneath his feet.

His newly broken realm was not yet fully stable, and the surging magical power within his body was rushing through his meridians like a burst dam.

The Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword hummed in his hand, and three thousand Great Dao runes appeared on its blade.

"Old bald monk."

Lin Zhu grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"I'll borrow your head to sharpen my new knife."

Before the words were finished, the void suddenly distorted.

The twenty-four heads of the Buddha of Dipankara changed color simultaneously, and a golden crack suddenly appeared in the compassionate face at the very center. This was a sign that the Buddha's mind was unstable.

He hurriedly formed hand seals with his eighteen arms, but was slashed backward by a blood-red blade of light in the very first move.

"How can it be?!"

Dipankara Buddha was horrified.

His billions of years of cultivation couldn't withstand a casual strike from the opponent, which completely defied the laws of nature.

Liu Man, watching from afar, had a gleam in her eyes and covered her red lips with her slender hand.

"Sister, look! Young Master Lin even split the Joyful Zen Light of the Joyful Buddha!"

The blood-red ribbon wrapped around her waist moved without wind, clearly indicating her overwhelming excitement.

Su Lengyu was engaged in a fierce battle with the Vajra Banner Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva when she heard this and looked away, almost dropping her Avici Sword.

As the bamboo blade flashed, three of the Buddhist lamps of Dingguang Huanxi, which were said to never go out, went dark.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, watch out behind you!"

Su Lengyu suddenly gave a stern warning.

Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, the Vajra-Clad Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva released his vajra pestle, which flew straight at Lin Zhu's heart.

The six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" ignited golden karmic fire on the pestle's body, causing the void to collapse wherever it passed.

Lin Zhu didn't even turn his head, and slashed out with his sword.

The moment the blade and pestle clashed, the entire underworld trembled violently.

The blood-red Dao patterns on the Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword suddenly came to life, transforming into three thousand crimson dragons that bound the Vajra Pestle.

"Crack."

The most precious treasure of Western religion was brutally torn to pieces!
"evil creature!"

The Vajra Banner Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes are wide open in anger, and his thousand-armed form appears and disappears behind him.

"You dare to destroy my Buddhist artifacts so soon after entering the Great Luo realm? Aren't you afraid that Heaven will punish your soul?"

Lin Zhu flicked the golden Buddha blood off his knife and sneered, "A bald monk like you dare to talk about the Dao of Heaven?"

He pointed the tip of his knife directly at the brow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Once I've killed this old lecherous Buddha, you'll be next."

These words were extremely arrogant, yet they sent a jolt through the hearts of all the powerful figures present.

The Holy Mother of Wudang unconsciously stirred the chaos with her whisk, while the Zhuxian Formation Diagram hidden in the sleeve of Daoist Duobao was slightly hot. They both saw in this junior the shadow of the Tongtian Sect Master who once broke through all laws with a single sword.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dipankara Buddha stabilized his body and recited the Joyful Meditation Sutra in twenty-four verses at the same time.

Countless mandalas bloomed in the void, and naked celestial maidens emerged from their stamens, playing various musical instruments and producing decadent music.

This is his signature move, "The Dance of the Heavenly Demon of Bliss," which has caused countless Great Luo Golden Immortals to lose their Dao hearts.

"Little tricks."

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Lin Zhu's eyes.

He neither dodged nor avoided the demonic illusion, allowing it to invade his sea of ​​consciousness, while the treasured sword in his hand suddenly disappeared.

In the next instant, all eighteen arms of the Buddha of Dipankara were severed at the wrists simultaneously! Golden blood poured down like a torrential downpour.

It turned out that Lin Zhu had transformed the Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword into the void and directly struck the causal line.

"what"

Twenty-four people simultaneously let out screams.

Dipankara Buddha finally panicked. The central Buddha head hurriedly chanted the six-syllable mantra in an attempt to escape, only to find that the surrounding space-time had been completely sealed off.

Lin Zhu's figure suddenly appeared above his thousand-foot golden body, and he gently stepped down with his right foot.

What seemed like a casual step caused all twenty-four heads of the Buddha of Joyful Light to explode simultaneously! Golden skull fragments shot out like meteors, shattering several distant death stars.

"stop!"

The Vajra Banner Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could no longer sit still.

His Thousand Hands Dharma Image became completely solid, with a vertical eye opening in the palm of each hand.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Paramita Emptiness!"

As the mantra was recited, the Dharma body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva swelled to a thousand feet.

His robes transformed into golden flames, and 108 skull prayer beads flew up, forming a swastika pattern in the air.

The most terrifying thing was that his chest suddenly split open, revealing a huge mouth full of sharp teeth.

"It's a manifestation of the hungry ghost realm!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang cried out in alarm.

"That old bald monk is going to fight to the death!"

Lin Zhu burst into laughter, the sound of which shook the surrounding stars.

The immortal-slaying and god-slaying sword in his hand suddenly disintegrated, transforming into 99,000 blood-red scales that covered his entire body, forming a ferocious suit of armor.

A third eye split open between his brows, and within it swirled a chaotic vortex.

"Well done!"

Instead of retreating, Lin Zhu advanced, throwing a punch at the gaping maw of a hungry ghost in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's chest.

Wherever the fist passed, it left behind black cracks in the void that would never heal.

"boom"

The shockwave from the collision of the two forces swept across the three realms.

The evil spirits of the eighteen levels of hell wailed in unison, the Lingxiao Palace in the ninth heaven shook violently, and even the Zixiao Palace, located thirty-three heavens away, saw a few wisps of dust fall.

When the smoke cleared, the spectators gasped in shock.

Lin Zhu's armor was half shattered, but he had one hand stuck in the giant mouth of the hungry ghost Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The Vajra Banner, which was said to be indestructible, was broken in two by another hand!

"This this."

Liu Man was so excited that she was incoherent, her snow-white chest heaving.

"Sister, look! Young Master Lin has smashed the Buddha's eating utensils!"

Su Lengyu forgot to continue her attack, her lips slightly parted.

She clearly saw that Lin Zhu's fingertips were wrapped with the legendary Primordial Purple Qi, the chaotic origin that even saints dared not easily touch.

The thousand-armed form of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly froze, and a scream that was not human-like came from the giant mouth in front of his chest.

"The power of primordial chaos?! Who exactly are you?" Before he could finish speaking, his entire Dharma form was covered in cracks, like glass.

Lin Zhu withdrew his arm and casually flicked away the golden Buddha blood that had stained it.

He turned to look at the terrified remains of the Buddha of Bliss, his eyes flashing with even more intense bloodlust.

"It's time to finish."

The Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Blade had somehow reformed, and complete inscriptions of the Great Dao of Power appeared on its blade.

Lin Zhu raised his sword overhead, a simple movement like a woodcutter chopping wood, yet it sent a shiver down the spines of all the spectators. This strike had already touched the forbidden zone of the Heavenly Dao!

"No"

The remnant soul of the Buddha of Delight and Joy let out a desperate wail.

"I am willing to relinquish the Joyful Zen."

The blade flashed, and the sound abruptly ceased.

Over a billion years of cultivation transformed into a shower of golden rain. Lin Zhu stood in the golden rain, and his shattered armor began to repair itself.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Vajra Banner Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly detonated 30% of his Thousand-Armed Dharma Form, using the recoil to tear through the void and escape.

Before leaving, his venomous voice echoed in the underworld.

"Lin Zhu! The Western Sect will fight you to the death!"

Lin Zhu curled her lip in disdain and turned to look at the dumbfounded Styx twins.

"Are the two young ladies alright?"

As if waking from a dream, Liu Man suddenly rushed over and hugged Lin Zhu's arm.

"Young Master Lin is amazing! That old bald monk's blood on your eyelashes looks as beautiful as gold dust!"

Su Lengyu remained relatively reserved, but couldn't help but whisper, "Fellow Daoist Lin, was the method you just used the legendary one of proving the Dao through force?"

The members of the Jie Sect watching from afar exchanged bewildered glances.

Daoist Duobao calculated with his fingers, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Not good! The two Western Saints have already sensed it."

"boom"

Above the River Styx, a golden Buddhist light collided violently with azure immortal energy, and the shockwave sent blood waves stretching for hundreds of miles into the sky.

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha stands on a twelve-petaled golden lotus, holding a Vajra banner, his face solemn yet filled with disbelief.

"How could a mere newly promoted Grand Luo warrior fight me to such an extent?"

The voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was like a resounding bell, causing the space to tremble slightly.

Lin Zhu's blue robe fluttered in the wind, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Bodhisattva, you are mistaken. On the path of cultivation, those who attain enlightenment come first."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand slightly, and a sharp sword aura shot out, heading straight for Ksitigarbha's brow.

"Insanity!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva roared, and the Vajra Banner grew taller in the wind, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall giant peak that blocked his way.

The sword energy collided with the treasure banner, producing a deafening metallic clang.

At the peak of the distant Blood Wave, two stunningly beautiful women stood side by side.

Liu Man, dressed in a fiery red dress, clapped her hands excitedly.

"Young Master Lin is truly formidable! That old bald monk, who always flaunts his power, has finally met his match today!"

Su Lengyu was dressed in white, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

"He was promoted to the Great Luo realm only three days ago, yet he was able to suppress Ksitigarbha, who has been famous for several kalpas. I have truly wasted all these years."

In the center of the battlefield, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression gradually darkened.

He originally thought that defeating this newly crowned Ronaldo would be a piece of cake, but after more than a hundred rounds, he found himself gradually losing ground.

"It seems we have no choice but to get serious."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly formed a mudra, and the Vajra Banner radiated boundless Buddha light.

"Vajra Subdues Demons, Suppress!"

The precious banner transformed into a golden stream of light, carrying the power to suppress all ages as it pressed down on the bamboo forest.

This strike was enough to annihilate an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal!
"Ha, comparing magic weapons?"

Lin Zhu remained calm and made a sweeping motion in the air with his right hand.

"Then let the Bodhisattva broaden his horizons."

In an instant, seven dazzling rays of light flew out from his sleeves, intertwining in mid-air to form a magnificent galaxy.

"That is... the Golden Exquisite Pagoda of the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

Bixiao, who was watching from a distance, cried out in surprise.

"Isn't this the treasure that our eldest master keeps in the cave?"

Yunxiao's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Not only that! Look at that crimson longsword, it's the Demon Emperor's Sword! The legendary sword of the Demon Emperor Jun!"

The seven magical treasures each displayed their unique abilities. The Golden Exquisite Pagoda unleashed countless streams of mysterious yellow energy, steadily resisting the suppression of the Vajra Banner; the Demon Emperor Sword transformed into a crimson rainbow, aiming straight for Ksitigarbha's throat; the Xuanyuan Sword emitted a sword cry like a dragon's roar, its sword energy traversing three thousand miles; and the Auspicious Cloud Golden Lamp sprinkled down specks of golden light, illuminating the battlefield as if it were daytime.
What is most terrifying is that when that jet-black longsword, which can slay immortals and gods, is drawn, even the blood waves of the Styx River freeze!

"How can it be?!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression changed, and he hurriedly summoned back the Vajra Banner to protect himself.

"How do you possess so many innate spiritual treasures?!"

Lin Zhu stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by seven treasures like stars around the moon.

"It's not too late for the Bodhisattva to admit defeat now."

"presumptuous!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was so angry that he laughed instead.

"I'd like to see how many supreme treasures you can activate at the same time!"

Before the words were even finished, a seven-colored ray of light suddenly flashed from the Seven Treasures Tree. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt a sudden lightness in his hand, and the Vajra Banner was deflected by three inches! In that split second, the Immortal-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword was already at his chest!

"puff"

With a flash of light, a hole the size of a bowl was pierced through the chest of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Even more terrifying, the black mist swirling around the wound was actually corroding his golden body!

"This belongs to... Ancestor Styx."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva staggered backward, his face showing fear for the first time.

Lin Zhu gave him no chance to catch his breath, and the Xuanyuan Sword and the Demon Emperor Sword struck down at the same time.

One sword was aimed at the physical body, and the other at the primordial spirit; the combination was seamless.

"Oh!"

The physical body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and even the Vajra Banner dimmed and fell.

The onlookers gasped in astonishment. The mighty Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been utterly destroyed by a junior?
"wrong!"

Suddenly, the Holy Mother of Wudang spoke.

"Look!"

Golden light flashed within the blood mist, and the figure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rapidly reformed, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye!

"Amitabha."

The reborn Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva puts his hands together in prayer.

"Benefactor Lin, your methods are excellent, what a pity."

Lin Zhu squinted.

"So that's how it is. The Bodhisattva has been entangled with the Styx River for many years and has already comprehended part of the secret of the Blood Sea Rebirth."

He suddenly sneered.

"However, how many times can you be reborn?"

Having said that, the seven magical treasures unleashed their power simultaneously! The Golden Exquisite Pagoda suppressed space, the Crimson Cloud Gourd spewed out a sky full of red sand to trap Ksitigarbha, the Immortal Slaying Blade was used to slay true spirits, and the Demon Emperor Sword burned the primordial spirit. Seven completely different but complementary attacks poured down like a storm!

"what"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva let out a shrill scream, and his physical body collapsed once again.

But this time, the restructuring process was noticeably slower.

Liu Man was captivated by what she saw.

"Young Master Lin's 'magic weapon strategy' is truly domineering! With seven supreme treasures taking turns to attack, even the most powerful person would find it difficult to withstand!"

Su Lengyu, however, seemed thoughtful: "His seemingly casual activation of each magical artifact is actually incredibly precise in timing and angle. This control is what makes him truly terrifying." (End of Chapter)
