The demon monk in the second dimension

Drops of blood splattered on the face of the Great Peacock King, still warm, as if he were a real Azure Dragon.

After repelling one divine dragon, eight other divine dragons remained, eyeing the Great Peacock King with predatory intent, and simultaneously launched an attack.

A dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a hazy gray mist, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

It was a vast expanse of divine lightning, densely packed like a torrential downpour, forming a net of heaven and earth.

A divine dragon swung its tail with all its might, and bolts of lightning appeared in the void, as if it were the wrath of the Thunder God.

Nine divine dragons and the Great Peacock King were locked in a fierce battle, their laws and light intertwining, and holy blood splattering everywhere. The sight sent chills down the spines of the saints below, yet they remained glued to the screen.

Surrounded by dragons, the Great Peacock King used the "Fight" and "All" secret techniques, supplemented by the Buddhist Six-Syllable Mantra, to unleash the Great King Fist once again!

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

When these six words are combined, they radiate dazzling Buddhist light.

Her peacock demon form rose from behind the Great Peacock King, towering over a thousand feet high.

"Niao Ao!"

The enormous peacock demon eagle soared through the sky, its two divine claws locked in a fierce battle with nine divine dragons.

One after another, the great stars were destroyed in the tribulation of lightning, leaving the starry sky deathly silent.

It's not just Mount Sumeru. Many in the universe are watching to see who is about to advance to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

In the end, the Great Peacock King paid a heavy price to tear the nine dragons apart.

She swallowed all the essence of these divine dragons and some kind of highly condensed lightning tribulation liquid.

At this moment, the white monk's robes of the Great Peacock King were tattered, and he had bled several times during the battle. Even his chest had been pierced, leaving a large, bloody hole.

She used the secret technique of the character "者" that Xia Zhi had taught her, and her injuries recovered.

But the tribulation of lightning is not over yet!

It seems that the lightning tribulation became even more furious because the Great Peacock King had devoured nine divine dragons!

It suddenly grew larger, and then nine more white tigers rushed out from the sea of ​​thunder.

These nine white tigers, like fierce tigers descending the mountain, immediately launched a fatal attack on the Great Peacock King!

"Roar!"

Nine white tigers exhaled Geng metal energy from their mouths, and the nine streams of Geng metal energy merged into one, becoming incredibly huge. They rushed towards the Great Peacock King, intending to pierce through her body and shatter her in the cold starry sky.

A great sage recognized the heavenly tribulation and said in a trembling voice.

"It's the Ninefold Four Symbols Divine Thunder Tribulation! You have to fight against nine Azure Dragons, nine White Tigers, nine Vermilion Birds, and nine Black Tortoises in succession to survive!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in an uproar.

"The Four Symbols Thunder Tribulation? So that means only a quarter of it has passed?"

"To fight thirty-six of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts? I'm afraid I couldn't defeat even one!"

"My God! This tribulation lightning is clearly designed to prevent anyone from surviving!"

Some people say that while the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation that ordinary Great Sages go through is terrifying, it's not this exaggerated.

"It would be good if there were two or three beasts composed of lightning, otherwise it would completely cut off the path to quasi-emperor for the vast majority of Great Saints."

The reason why the Great Peacock King encountered the Ninefold Four Symbols Divine Tribulation was that she herself was a different kind of five-colored peacock demon god, possessing terrifying innate supernatural powers and extraordinary combat strength.

Secondly, it was because she had learned the teachings of the Buddha of the Southern Pure World.

The summer solstice marks the second Buddhist emperor to overthrow Amitabha Buddha's attainment of enlightenment. Gaining acceptance for new teachings from this world is always more difficult than accepting old ones.

Faced with the energy of Geng metal, the Great Peacock King made an unexpected move.

She threw out her golden crown, shattering the quasi-emperor artifact passed down through the Peacock Clan.

boom!

The massive explosion was accompanied by a cloud of chaotic energy that obscured the surroundings, making everything blurry.

The Buddha on the golden crown was torn apart, but at the same time, it also burst forth with extremely dazzling Buddha light.

"Roar!"

The nine-headed white tiger howled in agony as it was subjected to an extremely violent impact, forcing even a quasi-emperor to retreat.

Amidst the chaotic explosion of Buddha's light, four of them perished on the spot, and the remaining five were also severely injured.

The Great Peacock King seized the opportunity to rush in and fought fiercely, killing the white tigers.

However, she also suffered severe trauma.

Upon seeing this, a Great Sage from beyond the realm asked in confusion.

"If one can survive the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, the loss of a Quasi-Emperor artifact is insignificant; it can be reforged. But the Great Peacock King can first use the power of the Golden Crown to overcome the tribulation, and then take a risky gamble at the end. Why destroy it now?"

As a fellow avian being, the Great Sage of Blood Phoenix Mountain also frowned slightly.

"Perhaps the Great Peacock King has his own ideas."

Xia Zhi knew that the reason why the Great Peacock King wanted to shatter the golden crown early was that he planned to use the lightning tribulation to temper his body.

The demon race is known for its physical strength, let alone a different kind of being like her, who has the courage to destroy and rebuild.

Secondly, she did not want to rely too much on this quasi-emperor weapon and affect her own path, so she planned to forge a quasi-emperor weapon that belonged to her personally.

Following the White Tiger, nine Vermilion Birds, their wings fluttering and their bodies crimson, flew out of the Thunder Pool, crying out.

Their bodies were engulfed in the Southern Bright Fire, a terrifying flame capable of incinerating even the Great Sage, causing the surrounding temperature to rise instantly.

Nine Vermilion Birds gathered together, as if the ten suns of ancient times had reappeared, ready to burn and banish everything!

The Great Peacock King faced the nine Vermilion Birds head-on, yet showed no fear whatsoever.

She held her long neck high, becoming even more proud.

Five-colored divine light appeared behind the Great Peacock King, transforming into a gigantic demonic form, and he charged into the flock of Vermilion Birds.

Under the terrifying Southern Bright Fire and the overwhelming lightning tribulation, the body of the Great Peacock King was split several times before being reassembled.

But in the process, her demonic body was also tempered and forged, becoming even harder and stronger.

The nine-headed Vermilion Bird was killed by the Great Peacock King and died with a mournful cry.

Finally, the nine-headed Xuanwu emerged from the Thunder Pool.

Having fought twenty-seven opponents of equal strength in succession, the Great Peacock King had gone mad with battle.

She didn't even wait for the nine Xuanwu to emerge from the Thunder Pool before rushing into it, intending to smash them along with the Thunder Pool.

It seemed that even the lightning tribulation had never encountered such an arrogant cultivator, and it was momentarily stunned.

Then, the raging thunder in the Thunder Pool became even more intense!

In the deep purple Thunder Pool, the Peacock Demon God and the Black Tortoises were engaged in an extremely fierce battle.

Her claws, wings, and even her head were torn off, and her blood was splattered on the starry sky.

This fierce battle lasted for several days.

When the last Xuanwu in the Thunder Pool was also destroyed, the Thunder Tribulation suddenly disappeared, just as it had suddenly appeared in the first place.

Chapter 399 The Grand Gathering of All Races

In the cold and dark depths of the universe, the mangled body of a thousand-foot peacock lies helplessly on its back in the starry sky.

Following the pull of gravity in the universe, she landed on an asteroid, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The body of this demon god seemed lifeless, its form still and motionless, as quiet as a corpse.

This quasi-emperor tribulation thrilled many people, leaving them sweating profusely.

Putting aside the issue of stance, many of the Great Sages felt a sense of shared sorrow over the death of their comrades, revealing expressions of worry.

However, most of them are probably overthinking it—more than 90% of the Great Sages don't have the aptitude to break through to Quasi-Emperor.

Some people looked at Xia Zhi and noticed that his expression was neither happy nor sad, but his gaze never left the starry sky.

Nearly three hours later, the body of the Great Peacock King finally trembled.

She barely recovered some of her magic power, and with a sweep of the five-colored divine light from her tail feathers, she cleansed her body.

Then, the Great Peacock King laboriously flew back to the Big Dipper, landed in front of the Summer Solstice, and respectfully said.

"Homage to the Buddha of the Southern Heaven, the King of Evil! Thanks to the Buddha's wondrous Dharma, your disciple has been fortunate enough to successfully transcend this tribulation."

"good."

Xia Zhi nodded, shedding her enormous Buddha form and returning to a normal human size.

With a wave of his right hand, the black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns flew out of the Buddhist kingdom and landed in front of the Great Peacock King.

"Kong Miaoyin, you are intelligent, virtuous, and persevering. I hereby appoint you as the Great Peacock King Protector to suppress evil spirits and safeguard my path. This artifact is for your protection."

"Your disciple will humbly obey the Buddha's decree!"

The Great Peacock King Kong Miaoyin regained his human form, put his hands together in prayer, bowed to the Summer Solstice, and put away the large cauldron.

The other sages looked at this supreme imperial weapon.

"A black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns?"

"So the Yao Guang Holy Land was destroyed by the Holy Body before it became a Buddha!"

Some people immediately guessed.

"It's possible that the Ruthless lineage had a grudge against the Buddha. This lineage wants to devour the world to replenish itself, hunting down all kinds of physiques, and this isn't the first time they've offended the Great Emperor."

The stronger one's physique, the more likely one is to reach greater heights. For example, Ji Haoyue's Divine King Physique and the ancient emperor's bloodline as a son of an ancient emperor—aren't they treasures of their families?

The Ruthless Ones lineage targets the treasures of these forces, both large and small.

Therefore, the longer they cultivate, the more forces they offend.

To this day, the Ruthless lineage is universally reviled in Beidou. Any reappearance of the Ruthless lineage will be met with a united attack, with no end in sight until it is annihilated.

After Kong Miaoyin put away the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, many great saints and sages congratulated her.

Ye Fan and others were among them.

They formed a small group and whispered among themselves.

"It seems the Buddha didn't intend to reveal that it's still possible to attain the status of a Great Emperor?"

The Golden-Winged Roc Saint King said to Ye Fan with some excitement.

"This is your chance, brother! Since the Buddha has proven that a Holy Body can also attain enlightenment, then you can completely surpass him and become a Great Emperor! A Great Emperor with two Holy Bodies in one lifetime—this is unprecedented!"

Amidst the flattery of his underlings, Ye Fan nodded outwardly, but inwardly rolled his eyes.

Great Accomplished Holy Body my foot!

The Buddha was not an enlightened being who attained the Great Perfection of the Holy Body!

Ye Fan strongly suspected that the Buddha Venerable was actually some ancient emperor who had just emerged to seize the Dao and Fruit of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, donned a disguise to strengthen himself, and prepared to conquer the path to immortality.

The Buddha should have already attained enlightenment and didn't occupy a position, which is why it is said that he can still attain enlightenment now.

Meanwhile, many supreme beings in the forbidden zone of life also had solemn expressions.

With the path to immortality about to open, the appearance of such a formidable and competitive Buddha has made them feel quite troubled.

Within the Primordial Ancient Mine, a Supreme Being proposed.

"Should we eliminate him? On the path to immortality, we must strive for the highest level of spiritual advancement to contend with him, or we will suffer a great loss."

However, some supreme beings disagreed.

"He is a Buddhist emperor who achieved enlightenment by shattering the path of Amitabha Buddha. He also possesses a fully accomplished holy body and his methods are unpredictable. He might force us to undergo extreme sublimation to fight against him. The path to immortality is about to open, and I don't want to waste my energy."

In addition, the Supreme One said.

"The Immortal Path is about to open. The reason for the disappearance of the other four forbidden zones of life has not yet been discovered. Let's not create any unnecessary complications."

So, even the Supreme Being who had spoken at the beginning fell silent.

……

Because of the sermons given on the summer solstice, almost all the sages of the Big Dipper came to Mount Sumeru.
