I work as an editor at Marvel.

Having been beaten down for so long, the Giant Spirit finally had a chance to fight back, and naturally he wouldn't let it go.

He grabbed Pudu Cihang's tail with his backhand, pulled it back forcefully, and swung it up into the air. After spinning twice in the air, he sat down on it with a thud.

The moment he sat down, Lin Zhengying, who shared the same vision as the Giant Spirit God, noticed that on the back of Pudu Cihang, several sections of the body's shell seemed to have been crushed, and the cracks had not yet been repaired.

I've found you!

Pudu Cihang twisted his body, his eyes shooting out two beams of light, activating the protective magic array around Lin Zhengying.

Chapter 405 There is always a chance in the dark

Layer upon layer of runes bloomed around Lam Ching-ying under the stimulation of the Universal Salvation Mantra, one circle after another, coloring half the sky.

"So that's what you were thinking. How dare you!" Halfway up the mountain, the Black Mountain Demon glanced at the distant light and said coldly to Zhao Li in front of him.

Facing the increasingly powerful Black Mountain Demon, Zhao Li sensed the fluctuations emanating from Lin Zhengying's back hand. He lightly covered half of his face with his right hand and pulled it down.

Pieces of plaster-like debris peeled off Zhao Li's face, revealing a face that was not at all human, resembling a demon. A chilling ghostly aura emanated from the right half of his body, forming a huge black ghostly shadow behind him.

"You're not getting through today, I'm telling you."

Zhao Li's voice seemed to have two parts, echoing on the left and right of Black Mountain. As the sound waves swept across, the miscellaneous soldiers summoned by the Black Mountain Demon's decree were instantly terrified.

"Half-human, half-ghost?" Black Mountain chuckled. He had killed countless humans and ghosts, so why would he be afraid of this?

Zhao Li didn't refute, but launched a direct attack, not allowing Black Mountain enough time to interfere with Lin Zhengying's actions.

Besides, half-human, half-ghost? Zhao Li couldn't be happier that Heishan really thought so.

Seeing Zhao Li's menacing approach, Hei Shan pressed down with his right hand, and a mountain formed from yin energy crashed down, pressing down on Zhao Li's head.

Just then, golden rays of light burst forth from the left side of Zhao Li's body. The Buddhist light easily pierced through the pure Yin energy and disrupted the energy network of the entire area.

Upon seeing this unknown situation, Black Mountain took a step back. The body beneath his feet surged continuously, and several huge black walls rose from the ground, directly enveloping Zhao Li.

boom!

Feeling the vibrations coming from the wall, Black Mountain breathed a sigh of relief. This strength was far inferior to that of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. He had been a little worried earlier. If this guy had half the strength of Sun Wukong, and since his own body was being used to suppress it and he couldn't use it on a large scale, things could have become very troublesome. Now that he knew it was just a big bug, things were much easier.

While Heishan was pondering, Zhao Li had already broken through the wall. Behind him, the originally eerie black shadow sat cross-legged on a golden lotus flower, like a Buddha. However, the form of the shadow did not follow the thirty-two marks and eighty minor marks of a Buddha. It was simply the shape of Zhao Li sitting cross-legged.

Looking at the phantom and Zhao Li, who was now fully revealed, Heishan was a little surprised. There were very few things in history that could be combined with ghosts, humans, and Buddhas. This was the first time he had seen all three combined, and it was indeed somewhat miraculous.

Just as Zhao Li and Heishan were about to clash head-on, Xie Bi'an and his two companions did not disappoint Lin Zhengying and Zhao Li. Following the compass, they finally arrived at the foot of Heishan Mountain.

"Shifang! Where are you going?!"

Master Taixu was taken aback. That familiar name, that familiar voice...

Taixu slowly turned his head, and sure enough, it was the monk Baiyun who called out to him. The already decayed monk Baiyun held a broken golden bowl in one hand and leaned on half a cane made from his spine in the other.

Looking at Baiyun like this, Master Taixu closed his eyes. Heishan's sins were heinous, and his hands were capable of reincarnation. He was simply reckless and wanton. He could imagine the whole process of how his master's remnant soul was transformed into this by Heishan after purifying the tree demon and entering the underworld.

"Amitabha." Taixu chanted a Buddhist prayer, then slammed his right hand heavily onto the golden Buddha, activating it. He then handed the golden Buddha to Xie Bi'an and turned to face Zen Master Baiyun.

The meaning is quite simple: you continue on your way, and he will stop the corrupted Zen Master Baiyun in front of you.

"Well, it seems I can't walk any further." Zhuge Wolong, who had only taken two steps, suddenly stopped. Immediately afterward, the sound of their marching in unison rang in their ears.

In the blink of an eye, a majestic army emerged from the light mist. Zhuge Wolong glanced at them and recognized them all as familiar faces. The army consisted mostly of soldiers who had sacrificed their lives in the Heavenly Wolf Army of the human realm.

Oh...

Zhuge Wolong sneered. It was only because Fu Tianchou had completely disappeared into the sky while he was in the capital that the army in front of them might have had an extra commander.

"Kid, you'd better hurry up and leave, lest someone else shows up again." Zhuge Wolong flicked his sleeve across his feather fan, leaving a portion of his battle spirit within it, then handed it to Xie Bi'an and said to him.

At the foot of Black Mountain, which is probably the original place of reincarnation in the underworld, Black Mountain has now occupied it, and the place of reincarnation has become the last line of defense against the enemy.

Zhuge Wolong came to see the Tianlang Army, and Master Taixu came to see Zen Master Baiyun. It was only because Xie Bi'an was still young and his experiences in this world were relatively simple, otherwise his close friends, relatives, or enemies in this world would have emerged.

Following Zhuge Wolong's instructions, Xie Bi'an, clutching the three treasures, ran blindfolded in the direction indicated by the compass.

Perhaps it was a glimmer of hope from the unseen forces, or perhaps it was the final effort of the natural order and the human way in this world, but Xie Bi'an is now playing a crucial role that no one expected.

This was also a detail that the Black Mountain Demon overlooked. When those who have reached a certain level of strength approach the point of reincarnation, it will inevitably trigger the point of reincarnation to fight itself. The weak simply cannot withstand the yin energy and resentment around the point of reincarnation. If they come and go for a while, it is not uncommon for them to go insane or even be assimilated instantly.

However, none of these problems were a problem for Xie Bi'an. His strength was neither high nor low, and his experiences were neither good nor bad. With the attraction of Zhuge Wolong and Master Taixu, the defense mechanism of reincarnation ignored him. As for Yin Qi and resentment, Xie Bi'an's name alone was enough to ensure his survival.

After venturing further in, Xie Bi'an could no longer distinguish front from back, left from right. The space here was chaotic, and he could only rely on the compass to navigate. He would go whichever way the compass pointed.

When the compass could no longer point and started spinning like a windmill in place.

Xie Bi'an then stopped, put the compass he was carrying aside, and arranged the feather fan of Zhuge Wolong and the golden Buddha of Master Taixu in his hands.

Take a deep breath; success or failure hinges on this moment!

Xie Bi'an activated his battle spirit, sending it through his right arm into the feather fan. Sensing the invasion of the alien battle spirit, the battle spirit separated from Zhuge Wolong within the feather fan automatically counterattacked, instantly expelling Xie Bi'an's battle spirit before spreading outwards and being directly captured and absorbed by the already activated golden Buddha.

Under the influence of the battle spirit, the golden Buddha began to undergo the same changes as in Lanruo Temple, and a monkey-shaped Buddha statue gradually took shape.

Chapter 406 The Victorious Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong! (New Book - Spiritual Qi Revival: I'm Bound to a Little Broken Ball)

At the foot of Black Mountain, Zhuge Wolong commanded the army he had created while occasionally glancing in the direction where Xie Bi'an had disappeared.

The Sirius Army, created by reincarnation, is immortal and indestructible. Coupled with the energy originally stored in the underworld as a reserve force, the number of enemies in front of Zhuge Wolong has remained unchanged since their appearance, and he is about to be overwhelmed.

Master Taixu's current situation is somewhat similar to that of Zhuge Wolong. Although after experiencing the trial in the imperial city, the awakened Master Taixu can be said to have crushed his original master, Zen Master Baiyun, in terms of combat power, no matter what, he has not yet reached the point of being able to interfere with reincarnation and liberate Baiyun. In the end, it still turned into a war of attrition.

The two people before reincarnation were in bad shape, and Lin Zhengying, who was a little further away, was also in bad shape.

Although seven-tenths of the power that Pudu Cihang had accumulated by stealing the dynasty's fortune had dissipated, his strength, accumulated over so many years, was still considerable. Coupled with his enormous body, which was full of deadly weapons, Lin Zhengying, who was not good at close combat, could only struggle to defend himself and exchange minor injuries for time.

Even this was achieved after Lam Ching-ying discovered Pudu Cihang's wounds and frequently targeted him with attacks.

Although the situation is not good, the three of them can hold on for a while longer. The real trouble is halfway up the mountain, where Zhao Li is fighting against the Black Mountain Demon.

With a snap, a large foot stomped down from the air, pinning Zhao Li to the ground, and then spun him around several times.

When he was lifted up again, Zhao Li was lying on the ground, half-dead, his energy flickering like a candle flame in the cold night wind, about to go out at any moment.

Seeing Zhao Li like this, the Black Mountain Demon did not let his guard down. Zhao Li had performed the same trick twice before, and he had even managed to outwit him the first two times, otherwise the battle should have ended long ago.

"You, go!" Black Mountain commanded the little devils surrounding him.

Under the threat of Black Mountain, the little ghost dared not disobey and floated forward little by little until it reached Zhao Li's side. Then it discovered that it had not been shattered into pieces by the mixed energy. The energy that had peeled off and separated from Zhao Li seemed to be just for show.

The surprised little devil stared intently at Zhao Li, who was lying motionless on the ground, and then gave him a hard blow, but still received no counterattack.

At this moment, all the ghosts and monsters around them started to move, and like a grand celebration, they pounced on Zhao Li one after another.

At this moment, Heishan finally breathed a sigh of relief. These cockroaches were really annoying; even after fighting them for a long time, he couldn't be sure if they were all dead or not.

The space around Black Mountain trembled. He was preparing to bypass reincarnation and grind those little bugs who dared to cause trouble under his nose to dust!

The teleportation only takes a split second, but just as the spatial exchange was about to take place, a skeletal hand reached out from the horde of demons and slammed its fist into the ground. The Buddhist power stirred up the entire space, directly interrupting Black Mountain's teleportation.

Zhao Li met the still-standing Black Mountain's gaze for a moment, then smiled mockingly. He had been waiting for this moment. He was exhausted and could no longer hold Black Mountain back, but he could still cause trouble at the crucial moment. He had endured the humiliation of the brat and pretended to be dead, all for this moment.

I've been to the underworld, I've offended the King of Hell, and I've even kidnapped people from the Shu Mountain sect at its peak. Compared to them, who are you? If I say you can't leave, then you can't leave!

Zhao Li's eyes seemed to be uttering a final, harsh threat to Heishan.

It's pretty much confirmed in Montenegro that this guy is finished, but given the precedent, he won't be able to leave without being utterly destroyed.

A funeral procession for the dead!

A vortex of yin energy began to swirl above Black Mountain's right hand, pulling in all the wandering souls and ghosts nearby, who let out mournful howls.

They delayed things by a few seconds, which was a huge profit.

Zhao Li closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of the final moment.

"Hey! You fiend, let go of my hand!"

With a roar, the entire Black Mountain began to tremble, its body rising little by little as if being supported by something.

In the land of suppression, with the fusion and transformation of the Golden Buddha and the Battle Spirit, Sun Wukong's power rose sharply. The Battle Spirit was something he spread throughout the world through humanity before he was suppressed by Black Mountain. The Battle Buddha was formed, and the Fighting God Buddha emerged.

Realizing the situation was collapsing faster than expected, Black Mountain no longer cared about the half-dead Zhao Li. He pressed his right hand to the ground, and the entire Black Mountain shrank, becoming more solid. With its smaller size, the prisons might have loopholes, but Black Mountain couldn't care less about that now.

At the foot of Black Mountain, the Golden Cudgel continued to grow longer, pushing upwards towards the center of Black Mountain, while Sun Wukong's hands were clasped behind his back over a crack above his head.

The Dharma body is the form of heaven and earth, the body outside the body...

Sun Wukong used one of his seventy-two transformations after another, his gaping monkey mouth letting out a terrifying roar, and his hands gripping the crack exerting force to both sides.

"Ahhhh!"

With a cracking sound, the crack continued to spread upwards, from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the top.

"Even the Five Finger Mountain can't suppress me, how dare you, this wretched mountain, presume to do so!"

A golden light shot upwards along the crack, and the crack closed much faster than the golden light could keep up. In the blink of an eye, a Buddha's shadow appeared in the dark underworld.

"Take this!!"

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong, having escaped his predicament, swung his staff down, instantly splitting the rocks, and the Black Mountain Demon beneath the staff vanished without a trace.

"Great Sage!" Lam Ching-ying exclaimed with a hint of surprise.

With a flick of his head, Sun Wukong unleashed two beams of golden light from his eyes, which transformed into golden needles that pinned Pudu Cihang, who was attempting to escape, to the ground. No matter how Pudu Cihang twisted his body, he could not budge the golden needles that were as thin as hair.

"Take the men and leave first." Sun Wukong waved his hand, and Zhao Li fell into Lin Zhengying's hands. Xie Bi'an and the other two also appeared behind Lin Zhengying in an instant.

“Monkey, when we first met, I treated you with great courtesy, and even though we were on the enemy's side, I never took your life.”

As soon as Lin Zhengying set off, the entire Black Mountain suddenly began to buzz, and the voice of the Black Mountain Demon echoed throughout the entire underworld.

"You want to, but do you have the ability?" Sun Wukong slowly spun his golden cudgel, his eyes fixed on the trembling Black Mountain below.

"Monkey, today I'm giving you one last chance. Cooperate with me, and the human world will be yours, and the underworld will be mine."

"Stop spouting nonsense! I, Old Sun, never negotiate with guys like you!"

"Monkey, you'd better think this through. If the sky collapses, the earth caves in, all living beings are killed, and the cycle of reincarnation is shattered, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Not much skill, but a master at shifting blame." Sun Wukong said, glancing at Lin Zhengying and the others as they left the underworld. "But don't you know how big the trouble I, Old Sun, have caused in the past is? Do you think I'm afraid of someone like you?!"

"Alright, enough nonsense, take this!"

Before the Black Mountain Demon could say anything more, a giant club stretching over a hundred kilometers long crashed down.
