As Chen Wuxin's recitation of the scriptures became more and more fluent,

The four jet-black chains that stretched across the void began to tremble violently. Tiny cracks spread across the surface of the black karmic chains like a spiderweb, emitting a faint cracking sound.

"Bang!!!"

A crisp snapping sound rang out, and a blinding black light shot out from the point where the first chain broke.

Then the second and third channels collapsed one after another, and black energy and golden light intertwined and collided in the air...

The high monk's body trembled slightly, and his seated posture gradually straightened.

When the fourth chain was about to break

An overwhelming pressure erupted from the high monk's body.

Chen Wuxin steadied himself with all his might and sent the last passage of scripture into the high monk's consciousness...

"Boom!" The last chain snapped, and the black fragments dissipated into the air like dust...

At this moment, the high monk's restraints were completely lifted, and his body shone with great Buddhist light, his aura spreading outwards like a tidal wave.

On that wrinkled face, his eyes shone brightly as he surveyed his surroundings.

"Amitabha..." The high monk clasped his hands together and bowed to Ye Ran and the others.

"Thank you for your help, benefactor. I am Long Mu, the leader of Mahayana Buddhism..."

"Shut up!!!" The high monk hadn't even finished speaking.

Ye Ran's longsword was already pressed against his neck.

The chilling light made his soul and body tremble and shake uncontrollably.

Looking at the sword held to his neck.

The high monk named Longmu had no doubt that the sword possessed the ability to slay spirits.

Ye Ran stared at Long Mu and said coldly:

"As the leader of Mahayana Buddhism, you can't even protect your own home, allowing a demon to take advantage of the situation, enter your domain, and become the supreme ruler. Do you even deserve to be called the leader?"

Hearing Ye Ran's words,

Before anyone else could react, the golden Buddha standing to the side was startled. He asked again, puzzled:

"You...how do you know everything...?"

Ye Ran didn't answer him; instead, she stared at the dragon peony in front of her.

Long Mu sighed as he listened to Ye Ran's words:

"It is my fault... In order to compete with Theravada Buddhism, I became greedy and, in a moment of confusion, chose to cooperate with the devil. As a result, I not only suffered the consequences myself, but also implicated the followers of Mahayana Buddhism..."

Ye Ran interrupted Long Mu, pointing to the golden Buddha on the ground that was still struggling to recover:

"I don't want to hear unnecessary words. Now, immediately disentangle it from Mahayana Buddhism!!"

Hearing Ye Ran's words, the golden Buddha looked at Long Mu and sternly rebuked him:

"Old man, you dare?! Have you forgotten what I can do?"

"bass!!!"

Jin Fo hadn't finished speaking yet.

A flash of cold light pierced the golden Buddha's mouth, shredding its tongue to dust.

However, the golden Buddha's regenerative abilities are terrifying.

Even on the verge of its own annihilation,

It can still stimulate the tongue to recover instantly...

"bass!!"

The cold light flashed again, and the golden Buddha's tongue regenerated once more, strangling him once more.

The golden Buddha was speechless for a long time.

"Untie it quickly!!" Ye Ran, who was controlling the golden Buddha to keep it silent, commanded Long Mu.

Longmu looked at the golden Buddha and sighed.

"Do you really think I'm a coward who fears your methods and is afraid of death...?"

Long Mu slowly closed his eyes, formed a lotus mudra with his hands, and suddenly emanated rings of golden light from his body as he silently chanted:

"The Great Way is formless, but faith leaves its mark. All things arise and cease due to causes and conditions; all illusions vanish into nothingness."

As he chanted,

Countless golden threads appeared in the void.

These silk threads, like a spider web, spread out in all directions, each connecting the hearts of countless believers in the distance with the golden Buddha before them.

The golden threads flowed with the power of faith, continuously converging towards the golden Buddha...

Upon seeing this, the golden Buddha's face contorted, and it struggled desperately.

However, since the source energy had not yet been restored, they could only watch helplessly as the golden threads were completely exposed...

"The five aggregates are all empty; form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

Longmu's voice became increasingly ethereal.

A faint purple-gold light began to emanate from his fingertips, the light like a sharp blade, slowly traveling along each golden thread.

Suddenly, thousands of deep, resonant chants echoed in the void.

In Sanskrit chants

Longmu witnessed the countless sins committed by believers who, guided by the Golden Buddha, had become demons in recent years...

Longmu witnessed again the scenes of Buddhist believers being exploited like human blood buns by the golden Buddha, their lives reaped at will...

In an instant, two streams of clear tears flowed down Longmu's face:

"All because of a single wrong thought on my part, this humble monk deserves to die a thousand deaths..."

In an instant, Long Mu clasped his hands together:

"Break!"

With a crisp sound like jade shattering, the golden threads broke, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the world.

With each broken thread, the golden Buddha's body trembled further, and its breath weakened a little more...

Longmu's hand seals kept changing.

As the chanting echoed, countless Sanskrit symbols appeared in the sky, twinkling like stars, before transforming into golden raindrops that fell upon the earth.

"Throughout the three thousand great worlds, cause and effect cycle endlessly. Now, I, Longmu, using the origin as my guide and sincerity as my witness, sever your false beliefs and restore the true nature of all beings..."

Long Mu clasped his hands together, his expression solemn:

"The cause and effect have been severed, faith has been restored, may all beings no longer be misled by illusions, and regain their true, clear selves..."

The golden Buddha's body began to tremble violently. As the last thread of faith was severed, it let out a shrill scream, and the golden light emanating from its body dimmed rapidly...

moment,

The golden light emanating from the golden Buddha began to fade.

An aura of evil and decay permeated the air.

The once sacred image of Buddha was distorted and deformed, and a black toad with a gold coin in its mouth suddenly appeared before everyone...

The toad's eyes were filled with panic.

He wanted to escape, but his severe injuries prevented him from controlling his body.

It could only wriggle its enormous body in a panic before everyone present.

The dignity and composure feigned by the Buddha vanished at this moment.

Only one evil entity, its true nature exposed, remains, exposed and with nowhere to hide under the watchful eyes of everyone...

"Tsk... I thought it would be something special, but it's just a disgusting toad..."

At that moment, everyone flew to the toad's side.

"The Fourth Demon God, Greed..." As the leader of the Superpowered Alliance, Wang Xianghe recognized the monster at a glance.

Looking at the greedy expression, he frowned and couldn't help but say:

"They say the Fourth Demon God's true form of greed can stop a child from crying, and it certainly lives up to its reputation... No wonder he has to wear a golden robe before daring to show his face..."
