Bodhi Temple on Pure Land Mountain.
Two hours had passed since large swathes of golden light entered Bodhi Temple from the north and east, and it was now afternoon. The weather had been fine in the morning, but by this time, dark clouds had filled the sky, turning it into a gloomy day.
Suddenly, streaks of golden light flew from Bodhi Temple into the sky, quickly merging together to illuminate the dense dark clouds.
The large swath of golden light streaked across the sky and flew together toward the southwest of Yuanzhou.

Over the past decade, Lang Yuan, Yu Ke, and Ji Jue each acquired an ancient demonic artifact. Lang Yuan's was the Demonic Vine Whip, crafted from the very first vine that grew in the Nine Nether Demon Realm, conquered by Chi You, at the dawn of time. Growing in the Demon Realm, the vine absorbed immense amounts of demonic energy, malevolent energy, and resentment from its seedling stage. After millions of years, a demon god under Chi You uprooted the vine and refined it for nearly a hundred years, reducing its length from over a thousand feet to a mere ten feet, thus creating this long whip. Besides its exceptional toughness, the Demonic Vine Whip also inflicts a massive amount of malevolent energy upon those struck by its blade, disturbing their will.
The demonic artifact Yu Ke obtained was the Asura Seal, a pitch-black seal no bigger than an adult's fist. The top four sides of the seal were each carved with a hideous, glaring Asura face, each with a different expression, its fangs and jaws wide open, and its eyes glowing with two scarlet points. At the bottom of the seal were several lines of small characters, ancient in style and numerous strokes, clearly not modern writing. These characters were a demonic incantation from ancient times. When activated by the incantation, the Asura Seal could grow to the size of a small mountain. At that time, the incantation at the bottom of the seal would emit a brilliant demonic light, which could imprison the enemy's body, crushing them into dust by the mountain-sized Asura Seal.
The magical weapon Ji Jue obtained was still an axe, but unlike his previous giant axe, this ancient magical weapon was called the Demon God Axe. The jet-black Demon God Axe was forged entirely from a rare piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron. The handle alone was half a zhang long, and the axe blade was half a person's height, with the widest part of the two blades being three chi wide. The weight of this enormous Demon God Axe was already astonishing, not to mention that after Ji Jue infused it with magical power and chopped down with all his might, it was likely that a single blow could shatter a high mountain; its attack power was truly astonishing.
At this moment, under Li Molin's command, the two humans and one demon unleashed their respective demonic weapons. Even though their cultivation levels were lower and they could not use the full power of their demonic weapons, the mere 30% of their power was enough to make Shi Chan somewhat unable to defend himself.
A long whip, as agile as a serpent, lashed out horizontally, causing the Buddhist artifacts to shake and be swept aside. Immediately afterward, a sharp wolf fang shot straight towards Shi Chan's brow.
Shi Chan frowned and quickly dodged, but before he could regain his footing, a gigantic axe with astonishing power came crashing down. Looking at the axe blade, heavy enough to split mountains and cleave the earth, Shi Chan couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. He felt that even with his Seven Treasures Robe protecting him, the axe could still cleave him in two. Instinctively, he retreated hastily, avoiding the axe's attack. But at that moment, a vague, ethereal force bound his body. His vision darkened, and he looked up in horror to see a gigantic seal, over ten feet long and wide, crashing down upon him.
Shi Chan subconsciously struggled in a faint light, but the light was extremely captivating, and Shi Chan could not break free no matter what he did.
The enormous seal spun rapidly, about to smash into Shi Chan's head, but Shi Chan was completely bound and unable to dodge. Perhaps sensing the danger to Shi Chan, his seven-jeweled kasaya suddenly shone brightly with golden light. The kasaya trembled violently within a faint black light, and then, with a loud "boom," the light emitted by the seal shattered into pieces. Shi Chan was freed and hurriedly flew away, far away from the area covered by the seal.
At that moment, the seal crashed to the ground with a loud thud, sinking deep into the ground by about a foot, creating cracks in the surrounding area and raising a cloud of dust.
The moment Shi Chan's feet touched the ground, a series of sharp blades, no more than a foot long and as thick as needles, suddenly rushed towards him. The large swath of blood-red blades, carrying a bloodthirsty aura, pounced on him and arrived in the blink of an eye.
Shi Chan was greatly alarmed. He waved his hand forward, and the seven-jeweled kasaya slipped off his body, swiftly unfurling to meet the massive barrage of sharp energy. The kasaya collided with the barrage, unleashing a burst of golden light that instantly dissolved all the crimson energy.
Just then, Shi Chan suddenly heard an extremely faint whooshing sound coming from behind him, and along with that whooshing sound, a cold light was about to hit him. Shi Chan wanted to recall the Seven Treasures Kasaya, but it was already too late.
A long, dark green whip flew over like a serpent and suddenly bound Shi Chan tightly.
Only then did the Seven Treasures Kasaya fly over. Shi Chan sighed softly, and the kasaya disappeared instantly after being draped over his body, leaving only a faint golden light around him.
Ji Jue carried a giant axe on his shoulder, Yu Ke put away the seal, and Lang Yuan held one end of the demonic vine whip, the other end of which was firmly bound to Shi Chan. The two humans and one demon stood in a circle around Shi Chan, and after stopping, they all turned their gazes to Li Molin.
A flash of blood-red light appeared in Li Molin's hand, and the Blood Fiend Trident vanished silently.
He clapped his hands leisurely, looked around at Lang Yuan, Yu Ke, and Ji Jue, and said with a wicked smile, "I suddenly thought of a treasure."
Yu Ke looked puzzled and asked, "What treasure, young master?"
Li Molin extended his right hand, and the storage bracelet on his wrist flashed with a green light, and a bead the size of an infant's fist quietly appeared in his hand.
The bead was entirely black, yet faintly transparent. Upon closer inspection, it appeared as if the inside of the bead contained its own world. Beneath a chaotic cloud of mist, millions of soldiers were engaged in fierce combat on the ground, their blood splattering and occasionally reflecting a crimson hue onto the inside of the bead. Faint shouts of battle could even be heard, proving that this scene was not an illusion.
The moment the bead appeared, it immediately emitted a dense killing intent, making everyone present uneasy. Their vision turned red, as if they had suddenly been placed on a battlefield and were about to be forced into a fight.
