Chapter 305 The Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of My Hand Slays the Inner Demon
Yuwen Tai's body was like a piece of rotten wood being torn apart, instantly splitting in two. His flesh and bones were extremely fragile in the face of the extreme sharpness, and he exploded with a bang.

Just then, a jet-black, strange stone, about the size of an egg, suddenly appeared from the shattered chest.

It is perfectly round, so deep that it seems to devour all light, and its surface is covered with thick, ink-like, constantly twisting and changing patterns.

A terrifying demonic aura, a hundred times more concentrated and purer than that emanating from Yuwen Tai before, erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia, sweeping across the entire shattered palace.

This demonic energy carried the most primal, twisted evil will. The mere aura it emitted caused Ye Chen, who was fighting a bloody battle in the distance, to stagger and almost lose his composure. It also caused the Buddhist light surrounding the holy monk Huineng to flicker violently, like a candle in the wind.

"This is the moment!"

An unprecedentedly resolute light erupted in the eyes of the Holy Monk Huineng; he had been waiting for this moment when his true form would be revealed! He formed a mudra with his hands, and the Sanskrit chants from his mouth were as loud as a great bell, reverberating through the void.

The holy Buddhist light that had accumulated to its peak no longer emanated outwards to protect the body, but instead transformed into a pure and dazzling golden torrent, which struck the floating black stone with perfect precision!

"Om-!"

The torrent of Buddha's light was not an attack, but rather an instantaneous formation around the strange rock that was incredibly complex and composed of countless golden Sanskrit characters.

Each Sanskrit inscription contains the immense power of the Great Sun Demon Art to purify all evil, layer upon layer, like a golden cage, tightly imprisoning the true form of the inner demon within.

"Chichichi..."

A violent corrosion sound was heard.

The Buddha's light and demonic energy clashed violently, their golden and black colors intertwining and annihilating each other.

The golden magic circle shone brightly, attempting to completely purify and seal the demonic stone.

However, the demonic nature contained within the inner demon is far too vast and boundless, like an endless sea of ​​filth.

“Monk, I’ve already told you, your Great Sun Demon Art is not powerful enough.”

Amidst the surging demonic energy, a disdainful voice emanated from the inner demon.

immediately,

An even more terrifying demonic energy surged forth, and the Buddha's light was eroded, blackened, and melted away at a visible speed, like snow meeting the blazing sun, quickly dimming.

Yuwen Tai's body, which had been split open, instantly closed up.

The face of the holy monk Huineng instantly turned as pale as paper.

"Humph!"

Gu Mo snorted coldly, took a step forward, and casually struck out with his palm. This palm strike did not seem to have much power.

But in that instant,

Wherever the palm strike reached, the space collapsed inch by inch.

Yuwen Tai's remaining body, along with the surrounding demonic energy, bricks, and even the distorted air, were completely reduced to the finest dust by this palm strike, utterly wiped out by the violent power.

Only the black magic stone, which was tightly bound by the golden magic array, remained in place, trembling violently in the aftershocks of Gu Mo's palm strike.

but,

It trembled only slightly.

This demonic stone, which appears to be a stone, is actually just a manifestation of its form. Its true existence is a substance beyond ascension, a materialization of primordial energy, just like the ancestral fire left behind after the Fire Qilin was killed.

This kind of existence cannot be destroyed, it can only be sealed away.

"Amitabha!" The Holy Monk Huineng said calmly, "Hero Gu, this is the true form of the inner demon. I have suppressed this thing at Feilai Temple for thirty years. Even the Great Sun Demon Art cannot destroy it, only purify it!"

Gu Mo said, "But it seems that purification is not an option now."

The holy monk Huineng put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

With a low shout, filled with boundless compassion and a sense of sacrifice, he transformed into a streak of light burning with golden Buddhist flames, instantly traversing space and swallowing the black demonic stone enveloped in the Buddhist light array whole!
Gu Mo was startled.

At this moment,

The emaciated body of the holy monk Huineng suddenly swelled up, as if countless black pythons were writhing and colliding wildly beneath his skin!
He channeled his inner energy, and a magnificent burst of Buddhist light appeared.

The inner demon said calmly, "Monk, you didn't have to die, but you insisted on courting death. You couldn't seal me away in thirty years, but you think you can seal me away by eating me? What is your physical body anyway..."

The holy monk Huineng completely ignored the inner demons, sat cross-legged on the ground, and in that instant, the surging golden Buddhist light suddenly disappeared, instantly turning into a violent and disgusting demonic aura.

This demonic energy is not an external invasion, and it is different from the demonic energy of desire in one's heart.

This is a demonic aura carrying an aura of destruction.

The more sacred the Buddha's light of the Holy Monk Huineng was before, the more filthy this demonic energy is now; the more compassionate the Buddha's light was before, the more violent this demonic energy is now.

It instantly turned the tables, transforming into a black cage countless times stronger and more solid than the previous Buddha light array, and began to invade the stone that the demon's true form had become.

This is not purification, but rather using oneself as a furnace and the "demon" essence, which originates from the deeper layers of the Great Sun Demon Art and is now fully activated by the inner demon itself, as chains to carry out the most cruel homologous confinement!
This reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches surprised Gu Mo greatly.
Not only Gu Mo, but even the inner demon was very surprised. After all, the Buddhist light cultivated by the holy monk Huineng was so pure that it was unlike any power in the mortal world. Who would have thought that such a holy monk would have such a demonic nature hidden in his body, a demonic nature so strong that it could rival the inner demon's power?

The holy monk Huineng, his body radiating demonic energy, said in a deep voice: "Many years ago, I discovered that the power cultivated by the Great Sun Demon Art has two sides, positive and negative. I have mastered the most sacred Buddhist power in the world, which means that I will also become the most demonic demon in the world."

The reason I've had my disciples assist me in sealing the true form of the inner demon all these years is because I dare not exert my full strength, fearing that when my Buddha-light is exhausted, even if the inner demon is sealed, a second demon will be born.

Only now do I realize that I have been wrong all these years. My Great Sun Demon Art was created to seal the true form of the inner demon. That means that everything is created to seal the inner demon. Cultivating both Buddha and demon is the true path.

"It's a pity I awakened too late, but today, I ascend to immortality, suppressing my inner demons!"

At that moment,

A holy light of Buddha rose once again from the body of the holy monk Huineng, and he became a being of both Buddha and demon, existing simultaneously on one side.

Also at this moment,

A vast power of primordial spirit, where Buddha and demon coexisted, surged forth.
The energy of the Ascension Realm appeared.

The Holy Monk Huineng has broken through to the Ascension Realm!

It wasn't a secret technique that forced him to ascend; his cultivation level had truly reached that point!

"Roar--!"

A sharp shriek filled with resentment, anger, and a hint of surprise rang out.

It did not originate from Huineng's body, but from the void!

"Master Huineng, you are truly admirable!"

A black shadow, illusory and distorted, existing between reality and illusion, suddenly shot up from Huineng's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head!

Without hesitation, it tore through space, transforming into an extreme black line, and fled towards the heavens!

This is the mind's inner demons and consciousness.

It abandoned its original body, or rather, it realized that the power erupting from Huineng's body had temporarily trapped its original body, and it had to take this opportunity to escape this dangerous battlefield!

"Want to leave?!"

Gu Mo reacted with lightning speed. The instant his consciousness left his body, his figure vanished from the spot and reappeared high in the sky, teleporting after the black line. Space was easily penetrated in front of him like ripples on water.

However, just as he was about to catch up with the inner demon's consciousness, the dense demonic energy that had gathered from the entire Wutong City and even the wider region below, like a vast ocean, suddenly boiled over as if it had received an ultimate command!
"Boom--!"

The demonic energy that filled the sky stopped rising and instead began to sink and condense with the force of Mount Tai pressing down!
They transformed into billions of thick, pitch-black chains engraved with strange demonic patterns. Each chain contained terrifying power that could imprison space, corrupt the primordial spirit, and erode the physical body. Like a net covering the sky and the earth, they instantly sealed off all the space within a hundred feet of Gu Mo, densely packed and layered, strangling and entangling him.

"That's all?"

Gu Mo snorted coldly, and was about to swing the Taixu Sword to cut off these annoying shackles.

But in the blink of an eye, another unexpected change occurred!
Without warning, a huge crack appeared in the void above Gu Mo's head!

A thin slab, about ten feet square, with extremely sharp edges and flowing with dark gold, emerged from the void.

When its full form was revealed, it turned out to be a scale.

The moment the scale appeared, Gu Mo felt a sudden tremor in his heart, because he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Immediately, he felt the immense dragon might emanating from the scales, causing the space to ripple, as if a blade of divine punishment was slashing out from within!

Its target was incredibly precise, aimed directly at Gu Mo, whose movements were slightly slowed by the demonic chains!
"Dragon scales?" Gu Mo exclaimed, sensing the aura emanating from the scales.

The inner demon transformed into a wisp of demonic energy and instantly covered the dragon scales, saying in a deep voice: "Gu Mo, my physical body has never been important to me. I have gathered so much demonic energy not to drive my physical body, but to kill you here!"
These are scales left behind when the Azure Dragon was slain. Although they don't possess the earth-shattering power of the Reverse Scale Blade, they are still capable of killing any living being, including you, a physical ascendant!

As the inner demon made its voice, shaking Gu Mo's mind, it also unleashed the collapse of the dragon scales, tearing a crack in the void.

That was an unparalleled killing power.

However, Gu Mo's eyes showed no fear, but rather a strange excitement and amusement. In an instant, the Dragon God Technique within his body was activated to its maximum!

"hold head high--!"

A majestic and sacred dragon roar that shook the heavens and the earth suddenly erupted!

"what is this?"

At this moment, the inner demon was terrified, for he felt an even more powerful dragon's might.

At this moment, Gu Mo's body underwent a rapid transformation in the dazzling white light. In the blink of an eye, a huge dragon, covered with dark and transparent dragon scales, with prominent horns, sharp five claws, and exuding endless majesty and immense power, stretched across the sky!
The enormous dragon eyes, like two burning golden suns, coldly watched the massive dragon-scale blade fall.

A colossal dragon claw shot out, seemingly slowly, yet faster than lightning, with unparalleled precision, grabbing at the dragon scale imbued with terrifying power. White light swirled around the claw, containing the supreme dragon might to suppress all heavens and control all scales!

"clang--!"

A deafening roar that shattered metal and split rocks, causing ripples to surge through space!

At this moment, the huge dragon scale fell into the dragon's claw, as easily as grasping an ordinary piece of tile!
No matter how much the dragon scales trembled and unleashed their space-cutting sharpness, they could not shake the dragon claws in the slightest.

"Using dragon scales to kill a dragon, Inner Demon, you are truly a genius!"

Gu Mo's icy voice came from the dragon's mouth.

If it were the previous Dragon God Technique, perhaps this Azure Dragon Scale could have had some effect on him. But now, with the Dragon God Technique enhanced by the War God Manual, Gu Mo has broken free from the previous situation of having only the spirit but no form, and has become a dragon with both form and spirit.

A mere dragon scale meant nothing to him.

The inner demon's consciousness retreated in that instant. Within the black mist, a human-like bewilderment appeared in those blood-red eyes, and then it cursed, "Master Chen, Master Qiu, you two lowly servants have harmed me!"

In that instant, the enormous dragon body swung violently, its claws gripping the dragon scale as if wielding a giant axe that could split the heavens, smashing it with ten times the power and speed of its arrival towards the dark shadow of the inner demon consciousness that was about to disappear into the void rift!
"You lowly slave, you've ruined me!"

The black shadow formed from the inner demon's consciousness emitted a terrifying shriek.

It had no idea that Gu Mo could transform into a dragon. It now hated Master Chen and Master Qiu intensely because, in heaven, one day was equivalent to one year on earth, and it couldn't possibly pay attention to earthly affairs, so it had no idea that Gu Mo could transform into a dragon.

Of course, even if it knew, it wouldn't care. After all, there are many martial arts techniques in the human world that can produce dragon-shaped energy, and those that combine mental illusion techniques are even more realistic.

However, it doesn't know that this is normal.
However, Master Chen and Master Qiu, who control the State of Chu, are in the human world and could not possibly be unaware of the truth. Some time ago, they suddenly contacted it and even kindly sent it dragon scales.

"Slut, slave!"

At this moment, the inner demon was certain that those two people were deliberately harming it.

It was filled with resentment.

However, there was no time to think further, because the dragon was breaking through the sky, and the inner demon hastily condensed the strongest demonic energy shield.

"boom--!!!!"

The dragon tore through space and arrived in an instant.

There was no stalemate, only utter and devastating destruction!

The shield formed by the demonic energy field shattered like paper. The dragon's might was vast, the power of the divine dragon surged, and the strength of the dragon claws was unleashed on the inner demon's consciousness without reservation!
"Pfft!"

A muffled thud, like tearing cloth, rang out. The incredibly condensed demonic consciousness, a dark shadow, was actually torn apart and shattered by this collision and claw strike! It transformed into countless fine black wisps, scattering in all directions like ink scattered by a gale!

"Ah—!! You lowly slave have ruined me!!"

The inner demon's consciousness emitted a painful and venomous shriek, a sound that seemed to come from the deepest hell, filled with endless hatred.

However, it was not completely destroyed. The scattered black energy sensed something in an instant and, like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically sank towards the ruins below, where the demonic energy was most concentrated. At the same time, the city's protective formation activated.

The inner demon took advantage of the demonic energy filling the city and instantly disappeared.

"Want to leave!"

Gu Mo snorted coldly, his dragon body swayed, and he swooped down, instantly transforming into human form and activating the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique.

An invisible yet vast and powerful domain force instantly expanded from him, enveloping the entire dilapidated imperial city!

This was the Demon Immortal Domain he had comprehended by combining the War God's Record with the ability to strengthen the Demon Seed in the Dao Heart. He was now unleashing it with all his might, turning the entire imperial city into a huge cage of spirit and energy.

Within the domain, the flow of demonic energy was greatly suppressed, the space was reinforced and sealed, and even the slightest fluctuations of demonic thought could not escape detection.

Gu Mo's vast divine sense, like a meticulously crafted net, instantly penetrated every corner of this ruin, frantically scanning and searching for every trace hidden after the collapse of the inner demon's divine sense.

……

Meanwhile, in a corner of the palace ruins.

Ye Chen leaned on his twin swords, breathing heavily. He was covered in blood, some from his enemies and some from his own.

The earth-shattering clashes between Gu Mo and his inner demon just now caused energy turbulence and spatial tremors, making even this "third strongest expert in Chu" feel like a small boat in a raging storm, barely managing to protect himself from the aftershocks.

"My goodness... When gods fight, mortals suffer... I'm exhausted and thirsty, I'm really no face as the third strongest expert in Chu..."

"Forget it, I can't afford to mess with them, I'll just avoid them!"

Ye Chen wiped the blood and sweat from his face, feeling his throat parched. He quickly slipped away, afraid that he might get caught up in it again.

He looked around and saw only ruins and corpses shrouded in demonic energy; he could not find a clean water source.

Suddenly, he spotted a relatively intact ancient well not far away.

"There's water!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he dragged his tired body over.

The wellhead was deep and dark, emanating a cool breeze.

He took off the leather water bag hanging from his waist and found that the water bag was broken.

Helpless, he found a half-broken wooden bucket by the well, tied it with a loose rope, and laboriously threw it down.

"Pfft!"

The bucket appears to have hit the water's surface.

Ye Chen cranked the wheel hard, pulling the bucket up. The bucket was heavy, and it seemed to hold quite a bit of water.

Ye Chen, panting, lifted the bucket to the edge of the well.

He couldn't wait to peek out, wanting to scoop up a handful of water to quench his thirst.

However, what he saw was not clear well water.

On the murky water in the bucket, a human head, swollen and white from being soaked, was clearly visible floating on the surface.

The head had its eyes closed and its face contorted, clearly indicating that it had been dead for some time.

Looking at the severed head, Ye Chen was speechless. He knew he couldn't drink the water from this well, and he immediately became furious. He said, "Brother, you've left me without water, so it's only fair that I kick your head like a ball, right?"

“Of course it makes sense,” the head said.

"Haha, you said it yourself, so don't blame me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen's face suddenly froze. He slowly withdrew his hand and looked at the head with difficulty.

Suddenly, the head's tightly closed eyes snapped open!
Those were a pair of empty, lifeless eyes, yet a strange black light flashed across them for a fleeting moment!

On the swollen, pale face, the corners of the mouth stretched upwards in an extremely stiff, inhuman way, revealing a chilling, inhuman smile.

Ye Chen felt as if his blood had frozen instantly, his scalp tingling! A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his stiff smile instantly turned into something more like a grimace, as he said in a sorrowful and desperate voice, "Why is it me again..."

At this moment,
The inner demon within the human head sensed Gu Mo's divine sense approaching and immediately withdrew from the head, surging towards Ye Chen.

In the next instant, a cold, evil, boundless, and infinitely demonic spiritual torrent, like the floodwaters of the Styx bursting its banks, surged violently towards Ye Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

then,

It suddenly sensed two strange "qi" emanating from above Ye Chen's head, pressing down on it like two mountains.

"What the hell is this?"

Even though nothing in the human world could touch it, these two wisps of "qi" crashed down like two mountains, causing the inner demons that had already been shattered by Gu Mo to be impacted once again, and were directly knocked out of Ye Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

And in that very instant

Gu Mo's divine sense swept over and instantly detected the inner demon.

"Om-!"

A sword cry that pierced the soul and tore apart heaven and earth suddenly rang out above the shattered imperial city, which was shrouded in the realm of demons and immortals!

A sword light, whose vastness and sharpness defied description, slashed down fiercely from the heavens!

That was not a simple sword aura, but a sword strike that condensed the ultimate power of Gu Mo's current physical ascension realm, infused with the unparalleled sharpness of the Tai Xu Sword, and further incorporated the War God's Record's understanding of the laws of space!
It wasn't a simple slash; it was more like the sky itself had cracked open, and a waterfall of light, purely formed from the will to destroy, poured down!

Where the sword light touched, space was no longer shattered, but directly "annihilated"! It was not cut apart, but completely erased from the level of existence by that unparalleled sword intent, leaving behind a deep, empty, pitch-black trajectory that seemed to lead to the end of the world, pointing directly to the core divine consciousness that the inner demon had just condensed and mixed in with the demonic energy!
"Roar--!!!"

The inner demon roared in shock and rage, its demonic shadow growing ever more intense.

The viscous demonic energy permeating the world, along with the dragon energy of the Northern Zhou dynasty's national destiny that had been distorted by inner demons for many years, and the negative thoughts of fear, despair, and violence hidden in the hearts of countless Northern Zhou people tainted by demonic energy, all boiled and converged like rivers flowing into the sea!
Furthermore, a profound and weighty "human power," carrying the faint thoughts of billions of living beings and the destiny of the nation, was forcibly extracted and ignited!
"Boom--!"

Endless demonic energy, mixed with the distorted national destiny and the will of all living beings, surged and converged violently like a boiling pot of oil! At the core of the inner demon's consciousness, an unimaginably vast, pitch-black Dharma image suddenly condensed and took shape!
This image stands tall and imposing, its face blurred, yet it carries the majesty of the Northern Zhou imperial family and the distorted faces of countless beings corrupted by demons.

It suddenly raised its palms upwards, its palms covered with demonic patterns, and a turbulent torrent of filth erupted from them. The torrent contained fragmented images of mountains and rivers, and the lingering resentment of all living beings, forming a huge pair of hands that were a mixture of national destiny, demonic energy, and human resentment!

"clang--"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, exploded!

The unparalleled sharpness of the Taixu Sword slashed fiercely into those giant hands.

The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the universe, and a shockwave of such magnitude swept across the land in an instant.

The imperial city, already reduced to ruins, was ravaged once more by the aftershocks of this collision, as if plowed by an invisible giant plow, with several meters of the ground being scraped away! The remaining city walls in the distance were silently reduced to dust!
Gu Mo's sword strike was actually stopped by his inner demon!
The two forces collided and annihilated each other, producing a tooth-grinding "hissing" corrosion sound. Golden-black energy turbulence splashed wildly, cutting the sky into pieces.

From within the demonic image came a hoarse, resentful roar, tinged with a hint of mad triumph:

"Gu Mo! I miscalculated today. I underestimated you and misplaced my trust in those two lowly servants! I may not be able to kill you! But—"

The demon's arms trembled violently under the pressure of the sword, cracks spreading across them, yet it held on desperately.

"You can forget about killing me completely."

"Countless people throughout the entire Northern Zhou Kingdom could be my clones! Can you slaughter every single person in this kingdom? Can you destroy this demonic kingdom, a culmination of national destiny and human resentment?!"

As the inner demon roared, the entire territory of Northern Zhou seemed to echo it!

"Woo-wu-wu-"

Above the sky, the wind and clouds change color.

Countless massive, jet-black demonic tornadoes rose from all over Northern Zhou, frantically converging towards the sky above Wutong City.

Each tornado carries with it countless distorted fragments of consciousness, shattered national destiny, and the power of humanity.

The convergence of demonic energy and human power is no longer merely energy; it has formed a vast, filthy, and distorted domain around the demonic entity.

Within the domain, countless miniature city phantoms were faintly visible, and countless numb or ferocious figures writhed and wailed within, exuding a nauseating aura of depravity. The sky was completely dyed dark red, like a huge, inverted blood-red demon bowl, enveloping Gu Mo within it!
The Demon Kingdom has descended.

Using one country as the source of evil and all living beings as fuel!
The inner demon's voice resounded throughout the entire demon kingdom: "This is—the Northern Zhou Demon Kingdom! Gu Mo, this is the demon kingdom I have prepared for you for more than a year. In the past seven hundred years, you are the only one who has made me take this so seriously, but even so, I still cannot kill you."

However, you still can't kill me. Let's put our feud behind us. Today we shake hands and make peace. I'll let you ascend to heaven, and in the future, we can still be colleagues in the celestial realm. What do you say?

Gu Mo's expression remained indifferent, but his eyes were as sharp as the rising sun, piercing through the layers of demonic aura. He said softly, "Inner demon, are you afraid?"

The inner demon said coldly, "What am I afraid of? What can I be afraid of in this mortal realm? In this mortal realm, I am immortal and indestructible. No one can kill me, and you are no exception. I just don't need to fight you anymore. Losing one of your primordial spirits won't affect me at all!"

Gu Mo said calmly, "What can't be killed is your original source qi, not you. You are just a demon in your heart. Strictly speaking, the original source qi is the original source qi, and the demon in your heart is the demon in your heart. The source qi can't kill you, but you are just the consciousness of the source qi. You will die!"

"How could you kill me in the Demon Kingdom!"

"Then let me try."

Gu Mo spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly pierced through the clamor of the demonic energy.

Before he finished speaking, Gu Mo did something that instantly stunned the inner demon—he released the Taixu Sword from his hand!
The Taixu Sword, possessing a spirit, let out a reluctant cry, yet still obediently hovered beside Gu Mo.

Then, Gu Mo slowly clasped his hands together and placed them in front of his chest.

An extremely simple action, yet containing profound enlightenment and great dignity!
"Om Mani Padme Hum"

The ancient, magnificent, and soul-cleansing six-syllable mantra did not come from Gu Mo's mouth, but seemed to resonate from the depths of the endless void, from the source of the river of time! This mantra instantly overwhelmed the wails in the demonic energy, like a great bell, resounding throughout the heavens and earth!
Gu Mo was enveloped in boundless golden light! It was no longer the pure and holy Buddhist light of the Holy Monk Huineng, but a dazzling golden light that encompassed all things, was fierce and unparalleled, and even had a faint sense of chaotic flow!
Within the golden light, phantom images of Buddhas appeared out of thin air! Some sat, some stood, some glared fiercely like Vajras, some smiled with flowers in hand, each with a different form, yet all possessed a dignified and solemn appearance, radiating a vast and mighty power to suppress all evil spirits in the heavens. They were densely packed, layer upon layer, instantly filling the entire void behind Gu Mo, as if Buddhas from all the heavens and myriad worlds were simultaneously manifesting and projecting at this moment!
This is an enhanced version of the Great King Kong's divine power.

"Om!"

As an even grander, more earth-shattering incantation resounded, a towering golden Buddha statue, far surpassing the previous image of the holy monk Huineng, suddenly materialized behind Gu Mo.

This golden body is as pure as crystal and gold, with a compassionate and solemn face, eyes that see through eternity, and golden swastika symbols flowing around it. Each symbol seems to contain the power of the birth and death of a small world!
The enormous golden Buddha statue slowly raised a golden palm that blotted out the sky!

This is an enhanced version of the Tathagata Palm.

In the next instant,

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky moved.
On the Buddha's palm, the lines were as clear as Mount Sumeru, and within the palm, the immeasurable Buddha Kingdom composed of countless Buddha phantoms was clearly reflected! Within the Buddha Kingdom, Bodhi trees stood tall, golden lotuses covered the ground, celestial dragons coiled, and chanting resounded like thunder!

This is fusion!

Gu Mo used the War God's Manual as the general outline to control all laws!
With the immeasurable power of the Great Vajra, countless forms of Buddhas manifest, laying the foundation for the Buddha-land!
Driven by the supreme mystery of the Tathagata Palm, it is endowed with the unparalleled power to destroy all evil!

Then, using the domain golden core condensed from the boundless returning to the origin as the core, he perfectly connected his own power with the laws of heaven and earth, forming an independent yet overwhelmingly realistic Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand!
Countless Buddhas, some forming mudras, some chanting sutras, some waving their palms, some glaring angrily... all their power and all their will were not fighting individually, but rather gathered into one in an incomparably profound way through the Tathagata's palm that covered the sky.

As the enormous Buddha's palm, bearing the immeasurable Buddha realm and carrying the vast power of all the Buddhas, slowly and irresistibly pressed down upon the filthy Northern Zhou Demon Kingdom below, upon the struggling demonic form, and upon the terrified inner demon at its core—

The entire Demon Kingdom cried out in anguish, overwhelmed state!
Space solidified and cracked inch by inch under the Buddha's palm.

The filthy demonic energy melted away rapidly, like snow being poured into boiling water.

The demon kingdom on the demonic image, which was formed from the nation's destiny and demonic power, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!
The core of the inner demon's consciousness, before that pure, vast, all-encompassing yet all-destroying boundless Buddha light, let out a final shriek filled with extreme terror and disbelief:

"What...what is this?!"

Gu Mo's clasped hands remained motionless, his indifferent voice like a divine pronouncement, echoing amidst the thunderous crash of the falling palms:

"The Kingdom of Buddha is in the palm of your hand."

A palm fell,
The demonic energy dissipated, and the inner demon roared in resentment, but was quickly purified and disappeared, completely annihilated.
