How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

At this moment, all three Buddhas of Wanfo Temple were seriously injured.

The three men stared at the five people opposite them with fear on their faces.

Lei Wanjun smirked, his spear crackling with lightning. "Your Wanfo Temple usually puts on a sanctimonious act, but it seems you're nothing special today."

The three Buddhas exchanged a glance, and, enduring their pain, clasped their hands together and began chanting incantations. In an instant, a colossal golden Buddha image appeared above the Wanfo Temple, attempting to block the five's attack.

However, Lei Wanjun and his group were not easily stopped. Lei Wanjun struck first, unleashing a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket that struck the golden Buddha statue, instantly covering it with cracks. Zhan Wuji and Li Cangming followed closely behind, their two terrifying attacks shattering the Buddha statue in an instant.

With their golden bodies shattered, the three Buddhas coughed up blood again, their eyes filled with despair.

Li Cangming said, "Stop delaying, let's attack together."

The five exchanged a glance, and five extremely powerful divine abilities descended simultaneously from different directions.

The three Buddhas, filled with despair as they watched the five terrifying supernatural powers approach, did not give up. At this critical moment, they simultaneously ignited their own vital essence.

Instantly, dazzling light erupted from the three, their auras surging dramatically. Each unleashed a secret technique, gathering the power unleashed from their burning essence to form a massive golden barrier. This barrier shone brilliantly, seemingly capable of withstanding any attack in the world.

The five attackers slammed into the golden barrier, unleashing a deafening roar that shook the entire Wanfo Temple violently. Cracks appeared on the golden barrier, spreading rapidly, and with a crisp sound, the barrier shattered completely.

The three Buddhas grew increasingly pale, on the verge of death, their robes soaked with blood. The burning of their very essence had caused them immense damage, and their lives were rapidly slipping away.

Witnessing this horrific battle, the monks in Wanfo Temple were all heartbroken.

"Abbot, let us out! Even if it means death, I'll tear a piece of their flesh off!"

"Yes, Abbot, let us out to fight them!"

"Amitabha! Shut up, all of you!" the abbot shouted. "Stay in the temple and don't go out to die in vain."

The three Buddhas who had fallen to the ground struggled to their feet and sat cross-legged. Suddenly, they revealed a smile, and their bodies began to swell up little by little. Then, the three of them instantly flew towards Lei Wanjun and his group of five.

Lei Wanjun chuckled dismissively: "Trying to self-destruct? That's interesting..."

The five attacked simultaneously again, striking the three Buddhas hard. Their bodies couldn't withstand such a powerful attack and instantly exploded.

The three great Buddhas of Wanfo Temple... have fallen.

Seeing the deaths of their three grandmasters, the hundreds of thousands of monks and disciples in Wanfo Temple all stared at Lei Wanjun and his group with resentment.

"Stop looking, it's your turn next," Lei Wanjun said.

Fazheng glanced at the protective array of Wanfo Temple and smiled slightly: "If the five of us work together to attack one of the array's key points, the array will naturally shatter."

Immediately, the five men, each wielding an imperial weapon, smashed it down on the same key point of the formation, causing the formation to collapse instantly.

The abbot clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and shouted, "We, the disciples of Wanfo Temple, would rather die than submit!" As soon as he finished speaking, he charged towards Lei Wanjun and his group, followed closely by hundreds of thousands of monks. The scene was like a surging torrent, with an astonishing momentum.

Lei Wanjun and the others exchanged glances and launched another joint attack. In an instant, various supernatural powers shone brightly, and screams echoed throughout the Wanfo Temple. Although the monks were valiant, their strength was far inferior to the five, and many fell.

The abbot of Wanfo Temple led three hundred eminent monks to form the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Ancestor Formation," and the sixteen-foot-tall golden body radiated countless rays of light. However, the pressure of the quasi-emperor level was as deep as the ocean, and the surface of the golden body was quickly covered with spider web-like cracks.

"Amitabha--"

The abbot chanted Buddhist mantras, channeling his life's cultivation into the great formation, and faced Zhan Wuji. Zhan Wuji, wielding an imperial weapon, fiercely slashed at the great formation, unleashing a massive blade of light.

With this single strike, the ancient Bodhi tree was cleaved in two, the thousand-year-old Zen room was reduced to dust, and even the stone Buddha that had been suppressed for eight hundred years in front of the temple gate was split in two.

The abbot and three hundred senior monks within the formation were unable to withstand the power of the sword light, and their bodies exploded one after another.

The abbot of Wanfo Temple... has passed away...

The remaining high monks and disciples of Wanfo Temple all chose to self-destruct, but they could not even get close to the five people.

After an incense stick had burned, the entire Wanfo Temple was reduced to ruins, with rivers of blood flowing, resembling a living hell.

Wanfo Temple, destroyed...

Lei Wanjun and his four companions remained expressionless as they swiftly gathered the resources of Wanfo Temple. When they arrived at the treasure vault, they all smiled; these powerful forces with deep foundations were indeed wealthy.

Within the Wanfa Sect of the Shengtian Mountains...

Lu Chen was lying in a rocking chair, and Hua Ruoxi was massaging his shoulders with an adoring expression. Today, Hua Ruoxi was specially dressed in a nurse's uniform. At first, she was blushing, but seeing that the sect leader liked it, she became more and more relaxed. Fortunately, Lu Chen was a Great Emperor with extremely strong self-control, otherwise he really might have been unable to restrain himself.

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, looked towards the mountain gate, and smiled, "They're back..."

A moment later, eight figures appeared before Lu Chen and knelt on one knee: "We pay our respects to the Sect Master."

"Get up, you've all worked hard this time," Lu Chen said.

"It's not hard work. I haven't had enough yet. I'll do it a few more times," Feng Jiuye replied.

"Sect Master, the Xiao family and the Heavenly Fiend Palace are so incredibly wealthy! Our rings are almost full! Hahaha..." Chu Feng said with a laugh.

"Well done. You eight, each of you can choose a few items that you like."

Upon hearing this, the group's faces lit up with excitement, and they quickly said, "Thank you for the reward, Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, we found something strange in the Xiao family's treasury, but I don't quite understand it," Chu Feng said.

Chu Feng immediately took out a box from his ring and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen opened the box, inside which was a token. He took it out and examined it carefully, discovering that the token's material was very special, unlike anything from the Xuanhuang Continent. The token's front was engraved with only the character "仙" (immortal).

"System, check what this token is."

[Ding, Host, this is an Ascension Token, forged from ordinary immortal materials. It is an Ascension Path created by certain forces in the Immortal Realm with great magical power. Quasi-Emperors or Great Emperors who possess this token can attempt to ascend to the Ascension Path. Although there are various opportunities on the Ascension Path, it is actually a conspiracy by certain forces in the Upper Realm to harvest the fortune of the Lower Realm.]

"System, why are these people in the Immortal Realm doing this?"

[Host, the resources of the Immortal Realm are also limited, and some forces do not want too many people to become immortals.]

"So this is how cruel the Immortal Realm is. When I get there, I will definitely wipe out these people," Lu Chen said.

[Host, you'd better do your best...]

"Leave the token with me for now. You can all go and rest. Prepare well for the sect competition in three days."

"Yes, Sect Master."

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully destroyed the Xiao family, the Heavenly Fiend Hall, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple. You have completed the mission and are rewarded with a super gift pack, which has been placed in your system space.]

The Wanfo Temple was finally destroyed, and Lu Chen was very satisfied. He had been paying close attention to the battle in the Western Regions.

Back on Earth, Lu Chen had always loathed Buddhism. Those monks sold tickets and incense at exorbitant prices, openly charging for services like consecration, blessings, and deliverance—it was blatant robbery! Yet people willingly opened their wallets, letting them take whatever they wanted; a few sweet words were all it took to turn someone into a sucker. There were also various high-ranking monks driving luxury cars, frequenting upscale hotels, and keeping mistresses.

In ancient times, Buddhist temples also enjoyed the privilege of being exempt from land tax and poll tax. During times of chaos, they would close their gates to avoid disaster, while during times of prosperity, they would come out with flattery and deceit. They always said that "Buddha is compassionate," but in reality, these monks were the ones who committed the most evil deeds. They could enjoy wealth and honor without doing anything.

Therefore, Lu Chen had no good feelings towards monks, and he felt no guilt whatsoever when he watched the five elders kill hundreds of thousands of Buddhist disciples.
