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

"Demon Guanyin!!! You're trying to harm me!!! I'll kill you—!!!"

This horrifying scene plunged the entire Water and Land Assembly into a deathly silence, which was then followed by an even greater panic!
"A demon...a demon! The Venerable Xuanzang has truly become a demon!"

“Oh my God!
This is the most carefully selected monastic order in the entire realm! How could it be a demon?!

"His strength... is terrifying! I feel like even a thousand of me wouldn't be enough for him to slap!"

"The Demonic Monk Xuanzang! Run!"
This kind of monster kills without hesitation; if we don't run now, we're dead!

The cultivators in the distance were terrified, some even collapsing to the ground due to their weak legs.

Many people have completely lost the courage to watch the battle and want to turn around and flee this place of trouble.

Fortunately, the well-trained Tang soldiers, under the command of their generals, though equally terrified, quickly organized a defensive line and protected the civilians as they evacuated in an orderly manner.

The cultivators and monks who had traveled from afar couldn't care less about watching the spectacle; survival was their top priority. They all used their own methods to retreat hastily, fearing they would be affected by the demon Chen Xuanzang, who was hovering in the air and exuding a murderous aura—didn't they see that even Guanyin Bodhisattva was slapped away by him?!
The Western Arhats and Buddhas disguised as mortals were initially terrified by Chen Xuanzang's sudden and terrifying transformation and power, and instinctively wanted to run away with the crowd.

But at that moment, one of the higher-ranking golden Arhats gritted his teeth and shouted sharply.

"Everyone! This is the time for us to serve the Western Paradise and our Buddha! We must not allow this demon to defile the Dharma and harm the Bodhisattva! Reveal your true forms and follow me to stop him!"

This loud shout was like a sudden awakening, instantly bringing the panicked Arhats and Buddhas back to their senses! Indeed, if they fled now, how could they explain themselves to the Buddha? The Bodhisattva was still watching!
"For the Western Paradise!"

"Protect the Bodhisattva! Subdue the demonic obstacles!"

"Revealed!"

In an instant, beams of brilliant Buddhist light shone through the crowd! Monks, lay Buddhists, and even some soldiers maintaining order, who had previously appeared ordinary, had their robes torn, revealing the true forms of Arhats, Vajras, and Dharma Protectors, some majestic, some compassionate, and some solemn!

They were surrounded by Buddhist light and held various magical artifacts. Although their eyes still showed fear of the overwhelming demonic energy, they still charged towards the demonic monk Xuanzang, who was suspended in mid-air and whose demonic energy was surging, with a series of angry roars!

In the distance, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, watched the astonishing scene of the Buddha and demons fighting, and then glanced at Lin Zhu beside him, who was calmly eating melon seeds. He was completely convinced and admired him to the point of prostration!
he thought to himself.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! The way the Prison God manipulates people's mentality is simply divine! Without making a sound, he made those bald monks from the Western Paradise fight each other to the death!"

When he saw those people who were disguised as mortals reveal their true forms as Arhats and Buddhas, he was first shocked, and then a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

"Good heavens! How dare you plant so many pawns right under my nose! Even the eminent monk I appointed is surrounded by your people! This is truly outrageous!"

He secretly hardened his heart, his hatred for Xiniu Hezhou and even the entire Western Heaven reached its peak, and he had already begun to plan how to get revenge in the future.

However, with Lin Zhu, this "big shot," sitting next to him, the Tang King was not worried at all, and even found the play particularly entertaining.

He followed Lin Zhu's example, pulling out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and cracking them open with relish, completely like a detached spectator.

What should have been a grand Buddhist ceremony has now been completely distorted. What should have been a solemn and dignified place filled with the sounds of chanting has now become a battlefield of fierce infighting between the Buddhas and Arhats and the demon-possessed Chen Xuanzang! Buddhist light and demonic energy clashed and intertwined, and roars and screams filled the air, creating utter chaos.

As for Chen Xuanzang, the culprit, his strength increased unimaginably after consuming the [Mortal Berserk Pill]!
The trace of true spirit that originally belonged to Jin Chanzi within his body was completely suppressed and corrupted by the overwhelming demonic energy, and his anger and killing intent erupted like a volcano, uncontrollable!

"Guanyin!!! You despicable and shameless demon!!"

Chen Xuanzang hovered in mid-air, his demonic energy burning and roaring like black flames. He clenched his fist, and the demonic energy gathered on his fist almost solidified, emitting destructive fluctuations.

His eyes were filled with blood and tears as he stared intently at Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had just regained her footing in the distance. His voice was hoarse, like the roar of a demon.

"You betrayed me! You ruined my glory, destroyed my future, and even humiliated me in front of the world! This is an irreconcilable feud! I will not be satisfied until I tear you to pieces!!"

At this moment, he was convinced that Guanyin Bodhisattva had harmed him with a tampered robe, and all his resentment had a specific target to vent.

Just then, the group of Arhats and Buddhas who had revealed their true forms rushed up and surrounded him.

The leader, a Buddha with an exceptionally large head, suppressed his fear and loudly chanted Buddhist mantras, attempting to intimidate others with his imposing presence.

"Amitabha! Demon, cease your rampage! Fellow practitioners, set up the great demon-subduing formation! May the Buddha Ksitigarbha bless you with the Dharma—Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Buddha Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita!"

At his command, all the Arhats and Buddhas activated their magical power, and rays of Buddhist light connected to form a mysterious array pattern. A "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon" formed from pure Buddhist power, with ferocious scales and claws and exuding a mighty dragon aura, roared out from the center of the array, opened its huge mouth, and was about to devour Chen Xuanzang, who was at the center of the demonic energy!

However, at this moment, with the blessing of the Berserk Pill, Chen Xuanzang's strength was already infinitely close to the realm of a half-step Quasi-Saint! And most of the Arhats and Buddhas who rushed up were only at the level of Celestial Immortal or True Immortal, with the strongest being only at the early stage of Golden Immortal. How could they be his opponent at this moment?
"The mantis is using his arms as a chariot, and he is overestimating his own abilities!"

A faint light flashed on the demonic mark on Chen Xuanzang's face. Facing the imposing Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, he didn't even use any fancy supernatural powers. He simply and forcefully slammed his fist, which was filled with overwhelming demonic energy, forward!
"Roar--!!!"

Wherever the fist passed, space itself seemed to distort!

The seemingly mighty and incomparable Great Heavenly Dragon, upon contact with this simple and unadorned demonic fist, was like ice and snow under the sun, unable to even utter a decent cry, before crumbling inch by inch, turning into fragments of golden Buddhist light scattered across the sky!
The terrifying force of the fist continued unabated, like an invisible ripple of death, instantly sweeping over the group of Arhats and Buddhas who were in formation!

"Do not!!"

"My golden body!!"

"Buddha, save me..."

The terrified screams abruptly stopped!

Under the watchful eyes of King Tang and Lin Zhu, the indestructible golden bodies and bodhisattva bodies of those arhats and Buddhas, which were said to be indestructible, were instantly covered with cracks like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer under the violent force of the fist. Then, they collapsed and disintegrated one after another with a series of "bangs"!

Their physical bodies, their primordial spirits, and even the bit of true spirit they had cultivated for many years were completely crushed and annihilated by the purest and most domineering physical force under this punch!
So-called high-level deliverance often only requires the simplest physical methods. These Buddhas and Arhats, who toiled and lurked for years for the Western Paradise, were thus completely annihilated, leaving not a trace behind!

"hiss--!"

The Tang emperor gasped in astonishment upon seeing this, unable to contain his amazement.

"This Chen Xuanzang... after swallowing that elixir, he became so incredibly powerful?!"

Lin Zhu nodded in deep agreement and commented.

"Yes, this medicine is really effective."

Suddenly, the Tang King thought of something, looked at Lin Zhu with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice.

"Great Lord, as the God of Law Enforcement and Prisons of the Three Realms, in charge of the Heavenly Laws of Punishment, now that... this demon is committing atrocities, won't you step in to subdue the demon?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu slowly cracked open another melon seed and spoke righteously and solemnly.

“Brother Tang Wang, you don’t understand the law. Look, it was clearly those bald men who struck first. Our Master Xuanzang was only forced to retaliate. What crime did he commit? We law enforcers must adhere to procedural justice.”

Emperor Tang.

"..."

As the two were talking, the situation on the field changed again.

After killing dozens of elite Western Heaven warriors with a single punch, Chen Xuanzang stepped on the golden blood and broken Buddha bones scattered on the ground, his demonic aura surging even more fiercely, like a world-destroying Asura emerging from a sea of ​​blood and abyss of demons.

He walked step by step through the air, approaching Guanyin Bodhisattva, whose face was pale and whose eyes showed panic.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was truly panicked at this moment!
She suppressed the internal injuries from being punched away, raised the willow branch in her hand, and tried to explain with a slightly trembling voice.

"Xuanzang! Calm down! Let me explain! I don't want to harm you, I'm here to help you!"

That robe…

"Shut up! You devil! Stop using your sweet talk!"

Chen Xuanzang's face was contorted with rage, and he wouldn't listen to any explanation. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind—to kill the "culprit" who had destroyed everything for him!
He stomped his foot suddenly, the void beneath his feet exploded, and his figure blurred instantly. Almost at the same time, he crossed the distance between the two like a ghost and appeared in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
The fist, wreathed in destructive demonic energy and carrying all his resentment and madness, slammed down fiercely towards Guanyin Bodhisattva's exquisitely beautiful face, a mixture of compassion and terror!
"Die!!!"

As if completely possessed, Chen Xuanzang unleashed a punch, and the boundless demonic energy condensed into a ferocious, roaring, ten-thousand-foot-long demonic dragon. Wherever it passed, waves of energy swept to both sides like a tidal wave, tearing the remaining buildings of Huasheng Temple to shreds and blowing them away like paper!
Faced with this earth-shattering demonic fist, Guanyin Bodhisattva's slender figure appeared so small and helpless.

Her face paled in shock. In her panic, she could only frantically pour all her magical power into the pure glass bottle in her hand. At the same time, she gripped the willow branch and swung it with all her might, scattering a crystal-clear, translucent white spiritual energy film filled with countless Sanskrit runes, in an attempt to block this fatal blow.

"boom--!!!"

The demonic fist slammed hard onto that seemingly thin membrane of spiritual energy!

Guanyin Bodhisattva felt an indescribable, terrifying force coming towards her, as if the entire Buzhou Mountain had crashed onto her defenses!
Intense pain instantly spread throughout her body, and she felt as if her Bodhisattva body was about to fall apart under this force!

Terrified, he desperately drew upon his magical power to maintain the crumbling protective shield while frantically sending out distress signals towards the western sacred mountain with his divine sense.

However, the demonic energy contained in Chen Xuanzang's punch was too violent and savage. Under the frenzied impact and devouring of the demonic dragon, the bright white protective membrane made a "crack" sound, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web!
"Do not--!!!"

Sensing that the protective shield was about to completely collapse, Guanyin Bodhisattva let out a desperate scream.

The next moment, under the crushing force of the overwhelming demonic energy, the defense she had painstakingly erected crumbled like a fragile bubble.

With a "bang," it was completely blasted apart, turning into countless scattered white specks of light!

With the complete shattering of the protective shield, Guanyin Bodhisattva was fully exposed to Chen Xuanzang's ferocious and incomparable demonic fist!

She had no time to make any effective dodge or defense; she could only watch helplessly as the fist, wreathed in an aura of destruction, rapidly enlarged in her terrified, widened pupils!
"Bang!!!"

A loud thud so dull it made your teeth ache!
Chen Xuanzang's fist, filled with boundless resentment and demonic energy, landed squarely on Guanyin Bodhisattva's dignified, compassionate, and beautiful face!
"Ugh—!"

Even with Guanyin Bodhisattva's cultivation and physical body at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, when she was caught off guard and directly took this violent attack that was infinitely close to that of a half-step Quasi-Saint, she couldn't help but let out a painful groan!

She was like a kite with a broken string, slammed hard into the ground by the force, carving a deep trench into the already messy square. She finally managed to stop her momentum and collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state, feeling as if stars were flashing before her eyes and half of her cheek was burning with pain, as if her bones were about to crack.

However, this is just the beginning!
Having succeeded in his attack, Chen Xuanzang's tyranny and murderous intent surged like a burst dam, completely overwhelming his last shred of reason!
He didn't give Guanyin Bodhisattva any chance to catch her breath. His figure approached again like a ghost, and before Guanyin Bodhisattva could fully get up, he actually straddled her!

This posture... is extremely indecent and full of insults!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuanzang, like a brute fighting in the marketplace or a mad boxer in a mortal ring, swung his fists, which were enveloped in pure demonic energy, and without regard for anything else, punched! And punched again! He fiercely smashed the face of Guanyin Bodhisattva beneath him, which was once compassionate and solemn but was now filled with pain and fear!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every punch landed with a thud, like the beating of a drum! Each punch was accompanied by a subtle "creak" as bones could no longer bear the weight, and a hissing sound as demonic energy eroded the Buddha's body! The pitch-black demonic flames and the shattered golden Buddha light intertwined and splashed, the scene was both extremely violent and extremely eerie!

"No...stop hitting!"

"Stop! Xuanzang! Stop right now!"

“Ugh… it hurts…”

When has Guanyin Bodhisattva ever suffered such humiliation and beating?
She struggled desperately, her hands futilely trying to block the rain of heavy punches, her mouth uttering pleading and rebukes filled with pain and terror. (End of Chapter)
