The entire Buddhist community was in panic.
In the battle of the Western Liang Kingdom of Women, the Buddhist sect suffered heavy casualties and was severely damaged.
Vajrabhairava and Buddha of the Golden Army died, Lord Brahma was seriously injured, and half of Indra's army was lost.
Tathagata was seriously injured in the battle with Lin Han, and many other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were killed by Sun Wukong, Yinglong and others.
The Jade Emperor issued an order to start clearing out Buddhists within the jurisdiction of the Three Realms and launching a campaign to destroy Buddhism without showing any mercy.
Except for Xiniuhezhou, all the Buddhist temples in Beijuluzhou and Dongshengshenzhou were cleared out, using the same methods as when Lin Han destroyed Buddhism.
