I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 462 The Vajra Realm? Blood Sea Purgatory!
Be careful in everything?

Chen Yuan followed quietly behind the two Bodhisattvas, Gu Ying and Ksitigarbha, as well as a large number of Arhats.

The Floating Monk... no, the current Floating Ancient Buddha is no longer the Buddhist disciple of the Dakong Temple in Kyoto Prefecture, but an ancient Buddha who obtained the Lingshan fruit position by means of the Twelve-Petaled Lotus Platform.

His words must have had a reason.

Even though Chen Yuan was naturally aloof and didn't easily trust others, he couldn't possibly ignore the words of the Ancient Buddha of Floating and Sinking.

What puzzled him was why the Ancient Buddha of Floating and Sinking had given him this reminder.

Someone wants to kill him?
Chen Yuan glanced at the three people beside him out of the corner of his eye: Zhou Guanwu, Tu Xingseng, and Yi Mu.

Although these three were his subordinates, their relationship with him was complicated.

It's true that Zhou Guanwu is his maternal uncle, but he is also the culprit who caused the decline of the Zhou family, the Marquis of Jingye. Their blood ties are practically nonexistent.

Tu Xingseng died at the hands of his second brother, Chen Yi, so naturally he had no good feelings towards him.

As for Yi Wood...

He was also a "general" like Sun Xushi, and is now a disciple of the ancient Buddha Mani Kassapa.

Although they are said to be fellow disciples from the same school and lineage, it would be more appropriate to describe them as "competitors."

Yi Mu has been coveting his sixth-rank lotus throne for quite some time.

So if we're talking about someone who wanted to kill him, Zhou Guanwu, Tu Xingseng, and Yi Mu are all possibilities.

After that...

Chen Yuan looked at the two Bodhisattvas, Gu Ying and Ksitigarbha, in front of him, as well as the six messengers behind them.

Gu Ying was previously sent to Tianyuan Continent to oversee the "Guiding the Floating and Sinking" matter, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he was defeated by Chen Yi, and it is possible that Chen Yi will take his anger out on him.

The others, like Yi Mu, were all members of the "Pure Heaven" who wanted to obtain the Lotus Platform—which is now the core of Mount Ling.

For example, the envoy Bintoro behind Gu Ying, who was holding a pagoda, was a Buddha at the eighth level of supernatural powers, who mainly cultivated the path of the physical body. His physical body was strong enough to withstand immortal artifacts.

Or perhaps Rahu, the messenger, is the son of an ancient eagle, and is said to be a born Buddhist like Fuchen, possessing a pure body of Buddhism.

He is the one whose feet never tread on the dust, yet lotuses still grow.

He was originally supposed to become one of the masters of the Lotus Platform of Mount Ling, but perhaps due to Mani Kasyapa's considerations, he was only allowed to follow the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva.

There is another Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is also a great being at the tenth level of supernatural powers.

The three messengers under his seat were in no way inferior to the messengers under the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva.

In comparison, Chen Yuan's strength was only on par with these six envoys, and he only managed to catch up by relying on the sixth-grade lotus platform and the Arhat fruit position.

In the past, his swordsmanship alone wouldn't have been enough to compete with these people for the Lotus Platform.

Now we can put up a fight.

In particular, during this trip to the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm, Chen Yuan not only gained a Spirit Mountain Fruit Position but also other opportunities.

This enabled him to make great progress in his practice of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra".

He has mastered the most difficult path to cultivation, the Human Path, to a high level. Once he achieves perfection, he will be able to cultivate the second path.

However, he does not yet have the incantation for the second path; he needs to wait until he has achieved success in cultivating the human path before seeking it from Mani Kasyapa.

"I am determined to obtain the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra!"

"Senior Sister Ling, I'm just as determined to win!"

As Chen Yuan pondered these thoughts, his mind remained completely still, like a stagnant pool of water.

He remained silently on guard in his heart—the monk Fuchen's reminder still bothered him somewhat.

No matter what, he had to find a way to survive.

It didn't take long.

The group made all the necessary preparations: elixirs, magical implements, array plates, and the Buddha's relics, unique to Mount Ling and imbued with the power of merit and vows.

Gu Ying glanced around and said coldly, "I believe you are all aware of the decree of the Great Master Mani Kasyapa, so I will not elaborate further."

"There is only one goal in this journey to the Vajra Realm: to deliver all living beings from suffering."

At this time, his face was no longer covered by the bronze mask of the past, but by a gilded mask.

A sparkling ruby ​​was also inlaid between his eyebrows, making him look more like a lama of the Wei Dynasty's esoteric Buddhism than a Buddhist bodhisattva practicing Mahayana Buddhism.

After he finished speaking, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Let us do as Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva said, and give it our all."

Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva glanced at him and continued, "This operation is the first since the appearance of Mount Ling. For the sake of Mount Ling and for our own sake, we cannot allow ourselves to make mistakes."

"If anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for performing a ritual to help them pass on."

When the two Bodhisattvas spoke, the other messengers, Arhats, and Buddhas naturally nodded in agreement, without any objection.

"set off!"

The next moment, Gu Ying led Chen Yuan and the others away from Mount Ling and used the Rainbow Light Swift Travel technique to land directly outside the Vajra Realm.

Chen Yuan looked around and saw that it was a domain located on the mountainside of Taizhou Mountain, near the top.

—Surrounded by jumbled rocks, some containing various metals, like byproducts of mineral veins, displaying colorful rust.

At the top of the jumbled rocks stands a stone tablet inscribed with ancient seal script:

"The Vajra sword cuts through the threads of afflictions; only by seeing through the illusion can one know that the blade is merely a mirage."

Chen Yuan glanced at it, and then heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva say, "Be careful, something's not right."

Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva turned his head to look at him, "What did you hear?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded slightly, his earlobes twitched twice, and said, "Indeed, as Mani Kassapa said, evil is rampant and resentment is overwhelming in the Vajra Realm."

“I heard some soulless tremors within it, unlike those of human beings, but rather… more like those of demons, or ghosts from the River Styx.”

Gu Ying's eyes flickered slightly as he looked around. After a moment of silence, he said, "If that's the case, it means we've come to the right place."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew out and landed directly on the stone tablet, stepping into the Vajra Realm.

Almost the instant his figure was about to disappear into the passage, a golden light appeared on his body.

Amidst the dazzling brilliance, one could faintly hear the voice of the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva, filled with fury: "How dare you!"

Seeing this situation, the three envoys who came with Gu Ying did not hesitate and flew straight over.

Several Arhats and Buddhas followed closely behind with their messengers.

Chen Yuan was a step behind, leading Zhou Guanwu and the others as they rode on their lotus platforms, following behind the many Arhats.

Yi Mu transmitted his voice, saying, "Everyone be prepared, something's not right."

Without turning his head, Zhou Guanwu transmitted his voice, "As the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva just said, just kill him."

The earth-walking monk shared the same idea.

Chen Yuan glanced at the three of them and transmitted his voice in a calm tone: "For the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva to be so enraged, the strength within the Vajra Realm must be far superior to ours."

"We don't need to be reckless later; we can simply follow behind the two Bodhisattvas."

Zhou Guanwu and the other two paused for a moment upon hearing this, then all agreed.

Even though the three of them did not have a good relationship with Chen Yuan, they were now in the Vajra Realm, and there were two Bodhisattvas by their side, so they could not show their disloyalty.

The next moment, the four of them entered the Vajra Realm by relying on the sixth-grade lotus platform.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yuan heard a roar in his ear.

It was like a mad, desperate roar coming from the abyss of hell, like the ghosts on the "Nether River," with absolutely no trace of intelligent life in the roar.

Only bloodlust.

A chilling, bloodthirsty killing intent swept over him, landing squarely on Chen Yuan's head.

Without thinking twice, Chen Yuan lightly stomped his foot, and the six-tiered lotus platform beneath him burst forth with dazzling golden light, instantly enveloping the four of them with immense Buddhist merit and vows.

The murderous intent and bloodlust were just kept out.

Chen Yuan stared intently, his eyes suddenly narrowing.

In this Vajra Realm, which was originally a place where many great Buddhist masters cultivated, not a trace of Buddhist merit and vow power remained.

There was no sign of life at all—the sky was like flowing blood, a deep crimson, reflecting the blood-red clouds.

The earth was lifeless; all the trees and flowers had withered.

In the dim light, blood-red rain was falling in a light drizzle.

It truly was like a living hell.

Chen Yuan wasn't the only one stunned. Zhou Guanwu, standing beside him, glanced around and exclaimed in surprise, "This is...this is the Vajra Realm?"

The earth-walking monk stared wide-eyed, his two dark arms raised and clasped together beneath his tattered robe, chanting "Amitabha."

"It is obvious that the Great Master Mani Kassapa was right. The Vajra Realm has deviated from Buddhism and has been completely transformed into a purgatory abyss."

Yi Mu wasn't too surprised. He glanced around and, seeing the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva and the others who had entered earlier, pointed to where they were and said:
"They're over there, fighting with some... wait, what are those monsters?"

"They don't look like demons, they look more like barbarians."

Chen Yuan also saw those strange creatures and pondered, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. No matter what they are, we must kill them."

This is actually a pointless statement.

But at this moment, it can also ease the minds of Zhou Guanwu and the others.

Without further hesitation, Chen Yuan manipulated the sixth-grade lotus platform and went straight forward to join Gu Ying and the other Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

Upon arriving here, he immediately noticed the strangeness of those odd creatures.

Yi Mu spoke first in surprise: "These monsters are actually immune to the power of merit and vows?"

The facts are as some people have seen.

Those strange creatures were shrouded in a bloody aura, each one tall and muscular, like barbarians.

However, their faces were blue and fanged, making them look very ferocious.

His actual strength was comparable to that of a powerful being at the fifth level of the Divine Realm.

During the battle, they charged forward one after another, and even though none of them were a match for the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva, they remained fearless.

Enveloped in a blood-red aura, he wielded weapons resembling Buddhist vajras in both hands, wielding them wantonly.

Whenever the ancient eagle unleashes its Buddhist merits and vows to unleash its supernatural powers, these strange creatures gather in twos and threes, holding hands to resist together.

Protected by the crimson aura emanating from them, they were able to distribute and transfer the divine powers, merits, and vows of the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva.

So much so that even when the Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva unleashed several supernatural powers, they had no effect.

At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva arrived and directly instructed the three messengers behind him:

"Separate them."

"I will follow the Bodhisattva's instructions."

Then three strong and powerful Buddhas stepped forward, each holding a pipa. As they played, they released golden light that filled the sky, which transformed into golden winds that blew downwards.

A man slammed his fists into the ground, and with a thunderous roar, several high stone walls rose from the withered and decaying earth, dividing the strange creatures into several areas.

Before the monsters could react, another Buddha, whose true form was a demon, spat out fine threads, weaving giant silver-white nets onto the earthen walls.

Each giant net can hold at most three strange creatures.

As the golden wind fell, more monsters were blown away.

This caused the supernatural powers unleashed by Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva and others to take effect, and one monster after another was killed.

Even Chen Yuan managed to kill dozens of monsters with his heavy sword.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not make a move. His gaze swept across the battlefield before him and landed on a giant mountain in the distance.

To be precise, it was inside the Vajra Temple on that mountain.

After observing for a moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gazed at Vajra Temple from afar and suddenly asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, benefactor?"

Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva glanced at him sideways, then scanned his surroundings.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard a soft laugh in his ear:
"My name is Rakshasa."

"He is the owner of this blood-soaked inferno."

"And who are you?"

Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva instantly located the person, frowned and said coldly, "My name is Ancient Eagle, and I am a Bodhisattva under Mani Kasyapa of Mount Ling."

"Buddha?"

"Bodhisattva of Mount Ling, ha! A bunch of thieves who stole the ancient secret realm of Mount Ling, how dare they call themselves Bodhisattvas?"

"Oh?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gazed at the young monk who had appeared outside the Vajra Temple and asked:

“You must also be a Buddhist, as you know that Mount Ling has been the abode of those who are proficient in Buddhism since ancient times.”

"And what's the point of talking about bandits?"

Then the man coldly said, "You slaughtered all the Asuras of my Blood Sea Purgatory and stole my Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture. How can you not be bandits?"

"you……"

"The former abbot of Jingang Temple?"

The Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva exchanged a glance, both looking at the young monk with some surprise.

"You, you actually fell into the demonic path?!"

"The devil's path?"

"Wrong, I have entered the Asura Path!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the young monk leaped into the air, a ferocious smile appearing on his handsome face.

"My lads, kill them, and we will be able to look down upon Mount Taizhou with pride!"

"Roar--"

Almost the instant he finished speaking, tens of thousands of monsters reappeared around Gu Ying and the others.

Or rather, Asura.

Most of them were tall, blue-faced, fanged Asuras, but there were also quite a few Asuras with three heads and six arms, whose power was even more terrifying.

Chen Yuan frowned as he examined the Asuras, muttering to himself, "Seventh Realm of Divine Power."

"Where did these Asuras come from, that they possess the power and might of hundreds of seventh-level supernatural abilities?"

It should be noted that there are only a few hundred beings above the seventh level of supernatural powers on Mount Ling.

There are so many here.

"Be careful."

Ksitigarbha also noticed the three-headed, six-armed Asuras and warned those around him:
"If things cannot be done, then you should hide behind me and Gu Ying."

Both of them were protected by nine-tiered lotus thrones and held magical treasures obtained from the ancient sacred mountain.

In addition, their cultivation levels were high, so they were not afraid of these Asuras.

However, after Chen Yuan and the others fought against those Asuras, they felt some pressure.

Besides being able to join forces to resist Buddhist supernatural powers, those Asuras could actually unleash even greater power when they worked together.

Three Asuras at the fifth level of supernatural powers can withstand a Buddha messenger at the seventh level of supernatural powers.

The three Asuras with three heads and six arms were able to contend with the messengers under the command of Gu Ying and Jizang.

After a fierce battle, Gu Ying's eyes turned cold. He turned his head, uttered a sentence, and then flashed to the outside of the Vajra Temple.

"No matter who you are, Mani Kasyapa has issued a decree that today you and this Vajra Realm will be liberated by all the Buddhas of Vulture Peak!"

The young monk glanced at him and sneered, "Then come and take my life."

"kill!"
