Journey to the West: Starting with the True Lord of the Pure Land

An eerie atmosphere suddenly arose in the Golden Palace.

The lion-like monster was tricked by Xuan Ling with his mysterious transformation techniques, and his whereabouts were exposed. He was both surprised and annoyed.

Knowing that there was no way to resolve this peacefully, it immediately abandoned the young king's appearance, and with a flicker of its body, its demonic aura soared into the sky, revealing its true demonic form.

What a vicious demon! Do you know what it looks like? A poem testifies to it:

His eyes gleamed like copper bells, his mane was like a tangled mess of dark halberds. His thick skin was like armor, black and menacing, his sharp claws like hooks, carrying the chill of frost.

With its wide mouth and fangs, it has a menacing appearance; its powerful gait reveals its arrogance. Its ferocious form frightens all; this monster is called the Lion-Tiger Strong.

The lion-like monster revealed its demonic form, displaying its ferocious power, and with a low growl, it lunged at Xuan Ling.

However, he had nothing at hand and no suitable weapon.

Its eyes were like lightning. It swept around and caught sight of a palace general who had been swept away by the demonic wind and was lying on the ground beside a pillar. At his waist was a precious sword with a golden hilt and a jade scabbard.

The lion-like monster darted forward like lightning, reaching out with its claws to draw its sword. With a clang, a dragon's roar echoed, and the sword flashed like snow, casting a chilling light throughout the hall.

Holding a knife in its hand, it turned to face Xuan Ling and shouted sharply:

"This is outrageous! Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Before he finished speaking, Xuan Ling had already thrust out the Azure Thunder Halberd.

There were no fancy moves, just a straight thrust, the tip of the halberd flashing with lightning, silently cutting through the air, yet arriving first after being struck later, aiming straight for his face!

The lion-like monster felt a chilling killing intent strike first, enveloping its soul, making its mane stand on end and its heart pound like a deer's. It knew something was wrong!

In his haste, he dared not think too much and immediately let out a strange cry, forcefully slashing upwards with the precious sword in his hand.

The swords and halberds clashed in a mere instant.

The lion-like monster's expression changed drastically.

He was confident in his strength and wanted to strike hard to curb the arrogance of this dragon spirit.

Unexpectedly, as the weapons clashed, he felt an immense force, like a raging torrent or a collapsing mountain, surge through the halberd and pierce his right arm!

Half of his body instantly felt numb and sore, and the precious sword in his hand groaned as if it were about to slip from his grasp.

The bricks beneath his feet cracked and shattered, causing him to stagger backward involuntarily.

Xuan Ling held the halberd in one hand, his body motionless, only glancing at him indifferently:

"With such a height as that of an air force pilot."

Upon hearing this, the lion-like monster's face flushed red with shame and anger. Just as it was about to unleash its demonic power to retaliate, it saw Xuan Ling holding the halberd in one hand and flicking his wrist slightly.

The halberd hummed, and a faint blue light rose.

The next instant, the immense force emanating from the halberd blade suddenly surged, like raging waves, with boundless power.

The lion-like monster felt as if it had been struck head-on by a surging river; its protective demonic aura shattered like paper, and its chest felt suffocating.

"Wow!"

He let out a strange cry, lost his balance, and his burly demonic body shot backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the throne.

The dragon throne, made of fine gold and jade, exploded with a deafening roar, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Undeterred, it crashed straight into the thick, coiled dragon screen behind it.

"Boom!"

Smoke and dust filled the air, and bricks and stones collapsed.

The entire screen wall was smashed open, leaving a large hole, and the lion-like monster's figure disappeared into the dust behind it.

For a moment, all sound and breath ceased, except for the lingering echoes of falling dust and the slight trembling of the palace beams.

Amidst the smoke and ruins, the lion-like monster felt its muscles and bones go numb and its blood surge, causing it to cry out in agony.

He secretly resented the appearance of the dragon demon, for it was extremely fierce and its strength and supernatural powers were extraordinary.

Having listened to Buddhist scriptures at Mount Wutai for many years, how could an ordinary demon king be a match for them? Unexpectedly, they have run into a piece of Kun steel today, which is truly unlucky.

Besides feeling angry, I was also filled with regret. If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!

I regret leaving the tranquil Wutai Mountain to come to this mortal world and wield power. Now I've run into such a wicked star and have suffered this humiliation for no reason.

Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the palace.

The lion-like monster steeled its resolve, mustered its demonic energy, leaped from the rubble, drew its precious sword, frowned, glared, and roared:

"Hey! You dragon demon, stop your rampage! Take another bite!"

Knowing that it would be difficult to win by force, it took the initiative, took a deep breath, its mane bristled, and suddenly opened its mouth.

"roar!"

A deafening lion's roar erupted instantly, and violent demonic power swept outwards like a raging tide.

The lion-like monster, having long served before Manjushri Bodhisattva, has naturally acquired a unique destiny.

Manjushri Bodhisattva is a venerable being of great wisdom. The Lion's Roar Dharma is exceptionally powerful and has the ability to subdue heretics and awaken the ignorant.

Having spent a long time under the Bodhisattva's tutelage, the lion-like monster gradually learned a smattering of the supreme Lion's Roar technique. Thinking himself to be quite accomplished, he then cultivated it into supernatural powers.

When unleashed at this moment, it displays a truly magnificent spectacle.

Wherever it passed, carved beams and painted rafters groaned and crumbled, golden bricks and jade tiles flew off the ground, bricks and stones rained down, and dust covered the sky.

The roof of the enormous Golden Palace was completely blown off, allowing sunlight to stream down.

However, Xuan Ling's clothes fluttered in the wind, but his figure remained as still as an ancient pine tree and a rock.

The terrifying shockwave reached three feet in front of him, then dissipated quietly like a gentle breeze sweeping across a mountain.

Seeing that his supernatural powers had failed, the lion-like monster felt even more chilled.

Before it could make any further move, Xuan Ling had already taken a step forward.

This seemingly ordinary step is actually a technique of shrinking distances to an inch, covering several feet in an instant.

The Azure Thunder Halberd swung down, its chilling aura sealing off all directions even before the blade arrived.

The lion-like monster was catching its breath when it was caught off guard by the speed at which its opponent arrived.

Seeing the blue halberd coming again, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he dared not meet it again.

It let out a strange cry, disregarding the dough, and a demonic wind suddenly arose around it, enveloping it in rolling black clouds.

In a panic, he shot into the sky and fled for his life towards the horizon outside the palace!

Xuan Ling startled the lion-like monster with a single halberd strike, then stood with the halberd on his back, raising his eyes to look at the billowing demonic clouds that were fleeing in panic, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

That lion's roar just now carried a righteous and evil-dispelling intent, unlike ordinary demonic magic. It had some of the aura of the Buddhist lion's roar supernatural power, but we cannot draw a conclusion.

This lion monster does indeed have some real origins.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, his gaze turned cold.

If you dare to come here and abuse your power, even if the Heavenly Venerable or Bodhisattva comes to punish you, I will still have the right to do so.

Seeing the demonic cloud gradually receding into the distance, Xuan Ling leisurely rode the cloud into the sky.

Just as Xuan Ling reached mid-air, he heard a roar of shock and anger coming from the distant horizon:

"Where did this formation come from?"

Meanwhile, the lion-like monster was fleeing in panic when it saw that the capital of Aolai Kingdom was behind it and the vast blue waves in front of it were the boundless East Sea. Its heart calmed down a little.

Once you enter the East China Sea, with its vast waters and deep clouds, you'll have a chance to escape.

Unexpectedly, the moment the thought arose, a strange change occurred.

Suddenly, the once clear sky was filled with billowing clouds and mist.

A series of azure beams of light appeared and disappeared from the void, crisscrossing and connecting to form a vast net that covered the four corners of the world, quietly closing in and firmly enveloping the entire capital of Aolai.

Isolate the inside from the outside, seal off the void.

As the lion-like monster was flying away, it suddenly felt a blockage ahead, as if it had crashed into an iron wall, and the demonic clouds dissipated.

It looked around in horror, only to see a clear light like a curtain, reaching the sky above and connecting to the earth's veins below, turning this world into an invisible cage with no gaps to be found.

Looking further into the distance, the waves of the East China Sea are faintly visible, yet seem as if separated by an insurmountable chasm.

A chill ran through my bones.

When was this formation set up? It has no idea!
