On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

The demons from all directions marched in a mighty procession toward Mount Ling.

The West sent envoys to offer amnesty, promising the demon race freedom and resources.

Princess Iron Fan sneered, "Freedom? Resources? How will you repay me for the lives of my father and the entire Rakshasa clan?!"

"Yes! Blood for blood!"

"What about the grudges of my deceased fellow disciples in the Jie Sect?!"

"The blood debt owed by Lingshan must be repaid with blood!"

The demons were enraged and remained unmoved.

Because each of their clans has a blood feud with Mount Ling!

On Mount Ling, Arhats and Vajras lined up in formation.

The leader, Arhat Subduing Dragon, sneered: "A bunch of arrogant and ignorant demons, how dare they attack Mount Ling?"

"Form ranks!"

The eighteen Arhats formed the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, their Buddhist light soaring into the sky, directly crushing the demon army.

However, at this very moment—

boom!

An aura of terrifying power erupted from the demon race's camp!

Su Bai's body shone brightly, and the phantom of the Lotus Lantern appeared above his head!

"Man and light become one!"

In an instant, the power of the Lotus Lantern completely merged with Su Bai's dragon body, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire Mount Ling!

"What...what kind of power is this?!" The Arhat Subduing Dragon's expression changed drastically.

Su Bai transformed into a golden-red streak of light and instantly rushed into the Arhat Formation!

"break!"

With a single claw thrust, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation shattered instantly!

puff!

The Arhat who subdues dragons was the first to be hit, his chest was pierced by a claw, his golden body was shattered, and his primordial spirit was scattered!

"Brother Jianglong!"

"How is this possible?! How could he possess such strength?!"

The eighteen Arhats were utterly horrified. This was someone who could contend with a Quasi-Saint, yet he was defeated in a single blow.

The immortals and gods were dumbfounded.

"This combat power... is terrifying!" Venus exclaimed.

"Man and lamp as one..." A glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. "The Lotus Lantern was originally an ancient treasure, and now that it has completely merged with Su Bai, its combat power is probably approaching that of a Quasi-Saint!"

On the Western side, Buddha's face turned completely dark.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said in a trembling voice, "Buddha, if the battle power in this prediction comes true..."

"It's impossible for him to be reincarnated!" Buddha said resolutely. "This future must never come true!"

After killing the Dragon-Subduing Arhat with a single claw strike, Su Bai's momentum remained undiminished, and he charged directly into the group of Arhats!

"die!"

With another claw strike, the Tiger-Taming Arhat was torn in two!

"Die again!"

With a flash of golden light, the golden body of the Long-Browed Arhat was shattered, and his primordial spirit was burned to ashes by the divine fire of the Lotus Lantern!

"Impossible! Impossible!"

The Arhats were terrified and retreated frantically.

But Su Bai's speed was too fast. In the state of man and lamp becoming one, his combat power had reached a terrifying level!

puff!puff!puff!

Three more muffled thuds sounded, and three more Arhats fell!

In a short time, seven of the eighteen Arhats have fallen!

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The remaining Arhats, no longer caring about their reputation, fled frantically towards the Great Thunder Temple.

But would Su Bai let them go?

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

The divine light of the Lotus Lantern transformed into a canopy, enveloping the entire Mount Ling!

"Today, Mount Ling will pay for this blood debt!"

With a long roar, Su Bai's dragon body soared through the air, directly rushing into the depths of the Great Thunderclap Temple!

Rumble!

Buddhist temples along the way were destroyed, and countless Buddhas looked on in horror at this god of death.

Stop him!

Several Buddhas joined forces to form an array, attempting to stop Su Bai.

Su Bai, who can merge with the lamp, possesses terrifying combat power.

With a single claw thrust, the great formation shattered!

With another palm strike, the golden bodies of the three Buddhas shattered, and they perished on the spot!

"Damn it! How can this monstrous dragon be so powerful?!"

"Quickly, invite the Bodhisattva! Quickly, invite the Buddha!"

Lingshan was in complete chaos.

Behind Su Bai, the demons from all directions also charged forward, fighting against the guardian Vajra of the West.

Princess Iron Fan even unleashed her Banana Leaf Fan, and the Samadhi True Fire swept across Mount Ling, burning one Buddhist temple after another to ashes!

"Father! People of the clan! Can you see? Your daughter has avenged you!" Princess Iron Fan cried, tears streaming down her face, but her banana leaf fan continued to move without stopping.

Lingxiao Palace

The gods and immortals were utterly shocked.

"Lingshan... has been beaten like this?" Master Taiyi murmured.

"Most of the eighteen Arhats have perished, and even several of the Buddhas have died..." Nezha swallowed.

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily: "Good! Good! This is the consequence of not repaying debts!"

The Golden Spirit Mother also revealed a relieved smile: "Jiao'er..."

But the next moment, the scene changed.

Deep within the Great Thunderclap Temple, four terrifying auras rose up!

Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Ksitigarbha!

The Four Great Bodhisattvas appeared together!

"You wicked dragon! Cease your rampage!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva held a willow branch and with a flick of her wrist, a shower of sweet rain fell from the sky, which actually suppressed the divine light of the Lotus Lantern!

Manjushri Bodhisattva offered up a seven-jeweled golden lotus, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva released a white elephant, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva even summoned the phantom of the six realms of reincarnation!

The four Bodhisattvas joined forces, their power was overwhelming!

Su Bai's expression was solemn, but he didn't back down: "You've come at the perfect time!"

boom!

An epic battle has broken out!

Su Bai fought against four opponents single-handedly, pushing the power of his combined man and lamp to its limit, and engaged in a fierce battle with the four Bodhisattvas!

However, the four Bodhisattvas were all quasi-saint level beings, and when they joined forces, Su Bai gradually lost ground.

At that very moment—

"Namo Amitabha Buddha..."

The Buddha has appeared!

Golden Buddhist light enveloped the entire sacred mountain, and the terrifying pressure made everyone breathless.

"Evil dragon, your sins are grave today; you shall be condemned to eternal reincarnation!"

When the Buddha pressed down with his palm, the entire world seemed to be encompassed by that palm!

"Oh no!" Su Bai's expression changed drastically.

The combined power of the Four Great Bodhisattvas and the Tathagata has exceeded the limits of what he can withstand!

It seemed that Su Bai was about to be suppressed—

"stop!"

Princess Iron Fan rushed forward, frantically activating her banana leaf fan, unleashing a surge of Samadhi True Fire to block Su Bai's path!

boom!

When the Buddha's palm collided with the Samadhi Fire, Princess Iron Fan coughed up blood and was sent flying backward!

"Iron Fan!" Su Bai caught her; both of them were already seriously injured.

"Cough cough... Husband..." Princess Iron Fan gave a bitter laugh, "We... are probably going to die here..."

Su Bai gripped her hand tightly, a resolute glint in his eyes.

The two exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony.

"Red Boy!"

Su Bai and Princess Iron Fan simultaneously used their last bit of magic to lift Red Boy up from their arms!

The divine light of the Lotus Lantern enveloped Red Boy, and at the same time, all of their life's cultivation was poured into it!

"Child...live on...ave...abuse us..."

Princess Iron Fan, with tears streaming down her face, took one last look at Red Boy, then gritted her teeth and activated her banana leaf fan, breaking through Buddha's blockade.

Whoosh!

Red Boy was sent away from the Western Paradise battlefield and disappeared into the horizon.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Buddha wanted to give chase.

But Su Bai and Princess Iron Fan burned their last breaths, unleashing their final attack!

Rumble!

The horrific explosion leveled half of Lingshan!

When the smoke and dust cleared, Su Bai and Princess Iron Fan had already perished, leaving behind only two mangled corpses.

On the ruins of Lingshan

The Buddha stood amidst the ruins, his face extremely somber.

The four great bodhisattvas were not much better off. Guanyin's willow branch was broken, Manjushri's golden lotus was shattered into three petals, Samantabhadra's white elephant was seriously injured, and Ksitigarbha was even more exhausted.

The entire Lingshan Mountain was devastated.

Twelve of the eighteen Arhats perished, eight of the Buddhas perished, and countless Dharma protectors and Bodhisattvas were severely injured.

The Buddhist temple collapsed, and the earth's veins on Mount Ling were riddled with holes.

"Buddha...we...won, didn't we?" Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled bitterly.

"We won..." Buddha's smile was more like a grimace, "A Pyrrhic victory..."

The minds of the Buddhas of the West completely collapsed.

Yes, they won, but at a great cost!

With the West ravaged like this, how can we talk about a great resurgence? It would probably take thousands of years just to recover!

"And that Red Boy who escaped..." Bodhisattva Samantabhadra said worriedly, "He carries the Lotus Lantern and is blessed by the combined cultivation of two Quasi-Saints; he will surely become a great threat in the future!"

"Let's ignore him for now," Buddha waved his hand. "As long as the general trend of Journey to the West remains unchanged, the West will eventually prosper!"

He looked up at the sky, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Although the losses are heavy, as long as the journey to the West succeeds, the West will still prosper! At that time, all the losses can be made up!"

Upon hearing this, the Buddhas of the West gradually showed expressions of longing on their faces.

Yes, the Journey to the West phenomenon is unstoppable!

The West will surely prosper!

However, at that moment—

The scene changes again!

Time has passed, and hundreds of years have gone by.

In a cave near the Flaming Mountain, a figure sat cross-legged.

It's Red Boy!

Red Boy has grown up now, but his handsome face is filled with coldness.

A lotus lantern floated above his head, and demonic energy surged around him, his terrifying aura sweeping in all directions!

"Father...Mother..." Red Boy opened his eyes, a chilling killing intent flashing within them. "I have never forgotten your hatred!"

"The West...Vulture Peak...Buddha..."

"I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"

A monstrous surge of demonic energy rose into the sky, shaking the three realms!
