A master of comedy!

For monks who truly practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures, their greatest wish is probably to achieve perfect merit and attain enlightenment.

The Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, the sacred site of Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, was undoubtedly the greatest temptation for these monks who worshipped Bhaisajyaguru Buddha both in life and in death.

Gazing at that pure world radiating Buddhist light, seemingly containing boundless beauty, even the previously most indignant statue of Weituo was momentarily lost in thought.

When the thing you've been pursuing your whole life suddenly appears before your eyes, the shock is indescribable.

But in the distance, dark clouds loomed overhead, wind and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

Amidst the raging torrent, a gigantic and terrifying snake shadow loomed in and out of sight, each flick of its tail unleashing a torrent of turbulent waves.

That once quiet and peaceful village, like a paradise, along with Ge'an City at the foot of the mountain, and even the more distant riverside towns, will all be swallowed up by this torrent and become sacrifices to the dragon that runs through the water.

Now, a difficult choice lies before everyone.

Should one choose the "perfect completion of merit" that is within reach, or stay in the mortal world and risk everything to stop the dragon one more time?
……

"After enduring so many days, I finally decided to come out."

The moment the dragon appeared, Zhou Sheng's eyes suddenly became exceptionally bright, blazing like the sun, and brimming with an undisguised fighting spirit.

Instead of showing fear, he even revealed an excited smile.

The dragon-like creature within him seemed to sense some kind of threat, emitting a clear dragon roar that disturbed the swirling rain.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, so naturally two true dragons cannot be accommodated on the same mountain either.

Zhou Sheng had long been eager to see whose water control was superior and who was the true darling of the ocean.

boom!
The flash flood quickly smashed through layers of obstacles, and the dikes that the villagers had painstakingly built seemed as fragile as paper.

"Run!!"

"Help!"

"It's over, it's over..."

As the villagers watched the raging torrent of water rushing towards them, a hint of despair crept into their eyes.

In fact, a few days earlier, Zhou Sheng had advised them to leave the village and flee, but the rain was not too heavy at the time, and they preferred to build dikes rather than leave their ancestral home.

But now they deeply regret it.

Just then, a figure walked towards the flood, his bare upper body like the most perfect marble sculpture, every inch of his muscle exuding strength and beauty.

It was that outsider whom Xiao Guo Yang called a god!
In an instant, hope flashed in the eyes of many people.

Over the past few days, although Zhou Sheng did not deliberately use his supernatural powers, having opened the secrets of his physical body and broken through to the fifth level, the power he displayed with just a few gestures had already astonished the villagers.

Zhou Sheng strode away, his eyes gleaming with a deep blue light, like a bottomless ocean with dragons and fish swimming in the distance.

That was the manifestation of Chiwen's water control supernatural power being pushed to its limit.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand, and the Yazi Divine Power transformed into a blade, but it was not the Broken Precept Blade that he had just devoured, but a twelve-pronged Sky-Supporting Treasure Fork.

This is the weapon of the Yellow Demon God from the Yellow Springs of the Underworld. It has a certain degree of water control ability and is also a powerful tool for hunting ferocious beasts in the water.

Zhou Sheng raised the treasure fork high, facing the roaring, turbid waves, his tongue wide open, and his voice booming like thunder.

"Certainly!!!"

The fork slammed down, attempting to single-handedly withstand the overwhelming floodwaters. Its tiny figure seemed like an ant before the giant waves.

It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—it's a classic case of futile resistance.

But the next moment, a scene that shocked all the villagers appeared.

With a single strike, the mighty, unstoppable floodwaters actually stopped, as if they had crashed into an invisible giant wall. Ants had stopped the flood.

Boom!

What rang out was not thunder, but a muffled sound as the earth cracked open.

Starting from Zhou Sheng's feet, jagged cracks spread outwards, even causing the accumulated rainwater on the ground to seep into them quickly.

His face was flushed, as if he were holding his breath, and the veins on his arms were bulging, his muscles like coiled dragons, as if he were supporting a mountain that was about to collapse.

With the twelve-pronged fork supporting the sky as the boundary, the unstoppable torrent could no longer advance.

Even more alarming, as the floodwaters were blocked and accumulated, a huge figure could be vaguely seen in the murky water.

As if sensing the gaze of the crowd, a white-scaled neck, about ten feet long, suddenly rose from the turbid current.

Its head resembled a giant python with a single horn on its forehead, and its two blood-red eyes were as large as red dippers, but the pupils were two vertical cracks, pulsating with greedy and bloodthirsty light.

"A dragon, it's a dragon!"

"No, it's a dragon stirring up water! We... we'll all be eaten!"

"It...it looks like...the White Snake General?"

"Help!!"

The moment they saw the true form of the dragon, many villagers almost collapsed. When faced with such a colossal creature that was tens of meters long, the fear etched into their very life instincts was instantly activated.

The reason it hasn't completely collapsed is purely due to the courage brought by that godlike man.

The dragon's fierce eyes reflected Zhou Sheng's figure, and it sensed a dangerous aura emanating from this man.

But more than anything, it's longing.

They yearn to devour it, hoping to achieve an elevation and transformation in the essence of life.

A mysterious intuition told it that swallowing this man would bring immense benefits, perhaps even comparable to transforming into a dragon through water.

Zhou Sheng glared at it angrily, bracing himself against the mountain torrent while giving it a mocking smile, slowly uttering a few words through gritted teeth.

"Want to eat me? Don't break your teeth!"

The dragon sensed the provocation and instantly flew into a rage. Its reverse scales under its jaw bristled like a hundred steel knives stuck upside down, and every gap in its scales spewed out the smell of rusty blood. Its body, as thick as a water vat, stirred in the yellow soup, causing the treasure fork in Zhou Sheng's hand to creak.

This is a water dragon. Once it succeeds, it will be equivalent to entering the tribulation realm, which is commonly known as a true dragon.

Boom!

The dragon horn on its forehead emitted a strange light, which caused the lightning in the sky to shine brightly, and actually summoned several bolts of lightning to strike down on Zhou Sheng.

Once a snake demon develops the appearance of a dragon and grows dragon horns, it can summon wind and rain, and even control lightning, making it one of the most ferocious among all demons.

Boom! Boom!
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a chopstick, struck Zhou Sheng, producing a crisp metallic clang. His skin had turned bronze, as if he were wearing an indestructible bronze armor.

The lightning flashed across his body, yet he remained unharmed.

Zhou Sheng even used the Taoist method of cultivating thunder energy to draw a large amount of thunder energy from these bolts of lightning to replenish his depleted magical power.

"Zhou Family Troupe, listen to my command! We can't wait for those monks, let's move!"

After a brief struggle to test each other's strength, Zhou Sheng suddenly raised his eyes, which seemed to be burning with fierce flames. His imposing aura was so strong that he was not at a disadvantage even when facing the dragon.

"We ourselves...slay the dragon!" (End of Chapter)
