The Buddha sighed softly, a sound that seemed to transcend endless time and space, carrying deep regret and compassion.

He slowly raised his hand, and a dazzling Buddhist light shone from it.

In an instant, the Buddha's light flashed across the sky like lightning, instantly condensing into an incomparably sharp sword.

The sword light shot out at an astonishing speed, piercing straight through his body.

Under the light of Buddha, the body of the Old Ancestor Tonghai trembled slightly, but a relieved and liberated smile appeared on his face.

As the Buddha's light continued to shine upon him, the primordial spirit of the Tonghai Patriarch gradually detached from his physical body, transforming into a dazzling radiance. This radiance, like the rising sun, was warm and bright, and began to continuously nourish the entire ocean.

Wherever the light reached, the oppressive aura of the Guixu Beasts that had permeated the sea was quickly cleared and purified.

The seawater regained its clear blue color, fish swam happily, seaweed swayed gently, and the corals on the seabed shone with a dazzling array of colors.

The once lifeless sea has now burst forth with vitality, as if it has ushered in a grand revival.

However, the price behind this beautiful scene was the complete disappearance of the Tonghai Ancestor.

The Buddha clasped his hands together and softly murmured, "Amitabha, well done, well done!" At the same time, a huge beam of Buddha light suddenly rose behind his head.

This ray of Buddha's light was like a golden sun, radiating boundless peace and compassion.

It resonated with the light that Tonghai Laozu transformed into, together stabilizing the results of Tonghai Laozu's giving back to the sea.

As one of the world's top experts, Ancestor Tonghai was able to give back to the world with his last bit of power, which undoubtedly fulfilled his due responsibility.

His actions not only shocked Buddha, but also made everyone present feel a great spirit of selfless dedication.

A surge of hatred for those evil gods welled up in Tathagata's heart.

It is precisely because of the rampage of these evil beings that countless lives have been lost, and that powerful figures like the Tonghai Ancestor, who are driven by a sense of righteousness, have had to pay such a heavy price.

In this mysterious and terrifying world of the Ruins, it is like the end of the universe, where endless darkness and chaos intertwine.

Suddenly, Cthulhu, which had been dormant for a long time, was once again shaken by some unknown force, and its huge, mountain-like body began to slowly undulate.

Countless thick, slimy tentacles, like wildly dancing pythons, swung wildly in the air, stirring up gusts of horrifying, pungent winds.

Each tentacle was covered with a dense array of suckers and barbs, gleaming with an eerie light that sent chills down one's spine.

At the same time, pairs of enormous eyes slowly opened, like lanterns burning with raging flames, radiating a captivating light.

These eyes easily pierced through countless layers of spatial barriers, like invisible swords, directly targeting this land of ruins.

As a Void Beast, Cthulhu possesses the innate ability to see through the world.

Except for a very few extremely powerful worlds that can rival it, all other worlds weaker than it are powerless before it.

However, at that very moment, in another world, the Buddha was immersed in his reflections on all things in the world.

In an instant, the Buddha felt a chill rise up his spine, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

A nameless fear gripped his heart as he keenly sensed an unusual gaze being cast from the distant void.

Out of instinct, the Buddha subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction from which the gaze came.

With just one glance, the Buddha saw those eyes that he would never forget.

Those eyes contained endless chaos and madness, like a vortex of insanity and evil, ready to devour any life that dared to look directly at them.

Just then, the solemn warning that the Old Ancestor Tonghai had once given him suddenly echoed in the Buddha's mind: "Never make eye contact with that Beast of Return to Nothingness!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The aura of the Guixu Beast surged forth like a tidal wave along that gaze, instantly enveloping the Buddha.

The Buddha's expression was solemn, and he dared not be careless in the slightest, because he knew that the Ancestor Tonghai was one of the most famous and powerful beings in this world, possessing the terrifying cultivation of a peak Golden Immortal, just like himself.

You should know that even the Tonghai Ancestor, whose strength was comparable to his own, had been completely infected by that strange power. He really couldn't be sure whether he could escape safely in such a dangerous situation.

In an instant, the Buddha's light, deep within the Buddha's mind, surged forth like a tidal wave, dazzling and brilliant.

Immediately afterwards, the present Buddhahood, representing the fruits of his cultivation, slowly appeared above his head, emanating a powerful aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

At the same time, the illusory figures of three thousand Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats suddenly appeared in the void.

They were either solemn and dignified or compassionate and peaceful, and their bodies shone with endless Buddhist light.

The boundless Buddhist light, like a torrent, rushed straight towards the cold and merciless gaze of the Guixu Beast.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth between the two sides, as if it were about to tear the entire world apart.

As the Buddha's light and the gazes of the Guixu Beast clashed fiercely, countless Buddhas began to chant mysterious and ancient scriptures in low voices.

The chanting of Buddhist scriptures was like heavenly music, resounding throughout the vast ocean, calming even the waves wherever its sound passed.

Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, the originally azure sky was gradually dyed into a magnificent golden yellow, like a beautiful painting unfolding before the world.

However, the Guixu Beast is, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal level being. Even though its power was weakened after passing through layers of space, it is still not to be underestimated.

At this moment, the Guixu Beast, sensing the Buddha's tenacious resistance, trembled violently once more, releasing an even more powerful evil force, determined to completely corrupt the bald monk before it.

The Buddha frowned, and the Buddhist power within his body was released once more, while his own inner essence was also mobilized.

Seeing the current situation, he was going to have to fight desperately. The Buddhist power within his body transformed into a great river that surged through his body.

The phantom images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats transformed into relics surrounding the Tathagata's body.

In the end, Tathagata withstood the attack, and the Guixu Beast failed to assimilate it.

By preserving the achievements of the Tonghai Ancestor, I can at least give myself an explanation.

With the feedback from the Ancestor of Tonghai, this place regained a bit of vitality.
