"Dharmakaya, so this is Dharmakaya, ahahaha!"
Just then, Chen Ren's gaze became unexpectedly clear, as if he could see through the thick fog, and he instantly locked onto Lin Feng's current location.
"Hostile mode? A fight to the death? Hahaha, I'll show you what a fight to the death really means!!!"
Amidst the laughter, a tall, illusory figure appeared behind Chen Ren. The figure radiated Buddhist light, wore a kasaya, and revealed half of its thick shoulder and chest.
"The Dharmakaya of the Tathagata: The Tathagata's Dharmakaya, which eliminates the afflictions of all sentient beings, is inherently pure and naturally pure, possessing an absolutely pure and eternally unchanging nature."
Chen Ren's body began to change, and a golden, furious flame swept over his flesh, making him look like an angry Buddha breathing fire.
"Wrathful Sambhogakaya: By taking the Dharmakaya as the cause, one cultivates the wrathful Buddha-fruit and attains the wrathful Sambhogakaya, which is characterized by wrath.
"Hongling!"
Lin Feng cried out urgently in his heart.
"Gui Ke!"
A surge of soul power rapidly searched for them through the link of the Spirit Essence Technique.
"Kid, where's your ghost? Why isn't it coming out to help you?" Chen Ren noticed Lin Feng's predicament. Flames billowed beneath his feet, and with a wave of his hands, the distance of dozens of meters between them seemed to pass like a gust of wind as he struck Lin Feng's chest: "The mist of the Intermediate Yin Realm is like the gates of hell in the underworld. That little ghost can forget about coming out again... Hahahaha!"
As Chen Ren's avatar approached, he laughed wildly, raised his head-sized arm, and struck out with a palm strike that transformed into a fiery red blade that flew toward Lin Feng's face.
With a palm strike and a sword strike, one above and one below, Lin Feng's aura was instantly locked in place.
In the midst of the crisis, a laser beam unexpectedly pierced through the thick fog, aiming at Chen Ren's position and giving Lin Feng a chance to catch his breath.
With his palm strike deflecting the blade, Lin Feng retreated several steps, increasing the distance between himself and his opponent.
At this moment, Si Zang's voice rang out through the hole pierced by the laser in the mist: "Whatever, I can't see anything, so if you're tough enough, you can be a little more careful!"
The thick fog gathered, swallowing Si Zang's voice. Before Si Zang's remaining voice could dissipate, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with yellow light, his body shrouded in demonic shadows, and he swung his demonic blade.
"Drink!" Chen Ren stomped his feet repeatedly, and a dragon's roar followed his movements, piercing through his clothes and rising to appear on the Dharma body behind him: "Blazing Sun Blade!"
The roar of a dragon echoed in the fire, and a flash of sword light surged wildly as Chen Ren and his Dharma body simultaneously swung their arms.
"clang!!!"
The demonic shadows surged like raging waves, while the blade's edge fell like a blazing sun. The moment they collided, they dispersed some of the thick fog.
The shattered blade light burst forth in the mist, vaguely revealing Mao Xiaofang and Lin Jiu on the mountaintop, protecting a group of villagers as they confronted the sorcerer monk; the swirling demonic power grazed Yi Mei as she regained consciousness, but was instantly swallowed by the thick fog.
As the fog gathered again, Chen Ren drew a tiger-head steel knife with countless white hairs flying off its hilt.
The blade trembled slightly, emitting soft murmurs, which were also swallowed by the thick fog.
The yellow light in Lin Feng's eyes deepened. He swallowed the potion and transformed it into new demonic power. The demonic power surged within him, firmly pinning the mad, scorching demonic shadow above his head to his body.
Soon, layers of thick fog engulfed his figure, and only two beams of yellow light could be faintly seen shining through the white mist.
Just as the thick fog fell into a deathly silence, a whooshing sound rose out of nowhere, weaving around the yellow light and stirring up the layers of fog.
Boom boom boom!!!
The fog swirled wildly, gathering and dispersing like a tightly twisted rope, pulling the entire fog down and slamming it heavily onto the ground.
"Drink!!!" Chen Ren's angry roar exploded, and the sounds of dragon's roar and tiger's howl appeared in the thick fog, with two giant beasts biting into a black demonic shadow.
Seven violently twisting eyes suddenly appeared on the demonic shadow beneath the dragon and tiger, staring at the giant beast. They intertwined with evil light, tearing through the thick fog and fiercely raising a black light that shot into the sky.
boom!
Behind Chen Ren, his Dharma body blazed with fire, and several fiery red blades flew out from his palms, suppressing Lin Feng's attack.
"Hehehe..." A series of cold laughs came from his mouth, his tone suddenly changed, and he spat out a transparent arrow of internal energy.
Lin Feng heard the sound of something shooting rapidly approaching. The rib spikes that emerged from the demonic blade in his hand expanded the blade, blocking the attack in front of him.
Boom!!!
The shockwave shot out, and the thick fog was finally dispelled. Lin Feng's clothes were torn, and Chen Ren's breathing was slightly rapid. The difference in their abilities was now clear.
At this moment, the flames on Chen Ren's body became even brighter, and the Dharma body behind him emitted a red light from each side, clearing out the evil power and demonic energy that had invaded his body.
"Five Thunder Gods, ride the clouds and join my form, by the power of the law!" As the fog gathered again, the voice of the One-Eyebrowed Taoist entered Lin Feng's ears. Before he could see clearly, the sound of drums rang out from the top of the fog.
Amidst the drumbeats, Chen Ren's face turned extremely gloomy, but within a few seconds, the sound of a shaman chanting emerged from the thick fog.
"Be careful, he's about to summon an evil god!"
Mao Xiaofang shouted out in the surging fog, but an evil incantation had already swirled and spread above the fog, turning the entire fog black with dense incantations.
As the thick fog swirled, the black incantations rose higher and higher, eventually erecting a colossal, eight-armed black Buddha Mother figure with legs crossed.
"Mahakala"
"Moo!"
They couldn't hear whose voice it was, nor could they see the Buddha Mother's face. They only felt that something terrifying was watching them from the sky with a gaze as thick as a black sun.
"Brothers, brothers!" Lin Feng's ears twitched, and the voices of Gui Ke and Hong Linggui echoed in his mind: "Finally out... What a close call..."
What happened to you?
“Two strange spirits are relentlessly chasing me, demanding I recite Buddhist scriptures.” As Gui Ke spoke, she saw the Buddha Mother appear above the thick fog before her and trembled as she said, “This is… an evil god?”
"Yes, Great Black Buddha Mother," Lin Feng replied, his figure already retreating. The vast fog gathered above the sorcerer's head, no longer obstructing their view.
Mao Xiaofang, Lin Jiu, and a group of surviving villagers all took the opportunity to run over.
Looking around, Chen Ren stood not far from the sorcerer, and on the other side stood Old Master Ren, whose chest was covered with incantations. Old Master Ren had a strange array drawn on his chest and was holding several transparent heads in his hands.
At this moment, the sorcerer placed the backs of his hands together, his fingers spreading downwards like layers of lotus flowers, corresponding to the gesture of the Heavenly Buddha Mother, and pressed down a huge cloud-like palm towards the One-Eyebrow Taoist who was summoning the Thunder Gods.
"All generals of the Thunder Department, heed my command! Nine Heavens Subduing Demon Divine Thunder!"
Boom! Nine deep war drumbeats resounded from the sky, the clouds in the sky darkened instantly, and streaks of lightning followed the drumbeats, swirling across the heavens and transforming into a long spear, pointing directly at the arm of the Great Black Buddha Mother.
"Eastern wind and thunder, southern fire and thunder, western mountain and thunder, northern water and thunder, central earth and thunder, heed my command!" The five command flags behind the One-Eyebrowed Taoist rose high in the wind, and five enormous phantoms faintly appeared.
"Tsk tsk, it's starting, it's starting. The Five Divine Generals aren't showing themselves, it's the Five Thunder Emperors directly." Si Zang wiped the sweat from his brow and retreated a good distance, still worried: "Great Black Buddha Mother, intermediate state Dharma body... amazing, Buddhist tricks are really good at taking shortcuts."
The power of the Five Directions Divine Thunder was beyond their ability to resist; even a mere scratch would shatter their souls.
"Drink!!" It was as if countless golden-armored generals appeared between heaven and earth, beating drums and looking down at the Great Black Buddha Mother from high above, shouting along with the five command flags behind the One-Eyebrow Taoist.
"Slay the demons!"
The drumbeats suddenly became rapid, like thunder shaking the heavens and clouds, disrupting the peace between heaven and earth, and exuding endless killing intent.
Boom boom boom!
The thunder and drumbeats in the dark clouds had merged into one, and the five divine thunderbolts converged from all directions. In an instant, the flashing lightning exploded behind the clouds, creating a terrifying thundercloud phenomenon that illuminated the sky for miles around.
"kill!!!"
As the One-Eyebrowed Taoist's finger fell, the thunderous sound transformed into a chilling killing intent that pierced through everyone's hearts, crashing straight down from the heavens onto the head of the Great Black Buddha Mother.
The sorcerer below seemed to have gone mad, his fingers folding uncontrollably into a chilling lotus flower.
The face of the Great Black Buddha Mother, hidden in the clouds, finally appeared, like an endless passage crawling with insect holes of varying sizes, extending into the unfathomable depths of darkness.
"Evil!"
Lin Jiu roared, and the people around looked over and discovered several villagers who had been controlled at some unknown time. A peaceful-looking intermediate being flew out of their bodies, fell into the hands of Old Master Ren, had its head cut off, and was thrown to the sorcerer monk, where it transformed into the power of the Great Black Buddha Mother.
"Evil, truly evil! He uses the intermediate state to convert souls with wisdom, and then seizes their original Dharma bodies to feed the Great Black Buddha Mother..." Si Zang clicked his tongue: "But this guy is also amazing. With just this one move, he managed to elicit a bit of divine pressure from the Great Black Buddha Mother."
"Lin Jiu!"
Si Zang then called out, took out a wooden ruler from his robes, and tossed it to the other man: "Here, the Nine-Turn Thunder Strike Heavenly Ruler, go help him quickly!"
The Tianpeng Ruler is made of lightning-struck jujube wood. It has four edges and six sides, and is engraved with the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the sun and moon, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the seven stars of the Northern Dipper, and the name of Marshal Tianpeng. It can be used to borrow the divine power of Tianpeng to drive away evil and avoid disaster.
hiss!
Lin Jiu gasped, immediately recalling the top-grade magical artifacts that Mao Xiaofang had been holding earlier.
At this moment, Mao Xiaofang also stood beside Yi Mei. With the blessing of the Five Directions Thunder Department, the axe in his hand was directly dyed with a layer of dazzling lightning.
"I haven't learned the Heavenly General's Mantra..."
Lin Jiu felt a slight pang of regret when suddenly a sound pierced his ears from the heavens above.
"Tianpeng, Tianpeng, Jiuyuan Shatong, Wuding Dusi, Gao Diao Beiweng... Siming Pohai, Tianyou Milei, Shendao Yishang, Wangui Zikui, Hurry, Hurry, as the Northern Emperor Mingwei Kou Cilu Ling."
The voice compelled Lin Jiu to read it aloud involuntarily. The next moment, a figure with three heads and six arms appeared behind him, wielding an axe, bow and arrow, sword, bell, halberd, and rope. The figure was fifty feet tall, dressed in black, with a black crown and golden armor.
"The Patriarch, the Supreme Father of the Nine Heavens, the General Manager of the Five Directions, the Supreme General of the Left Wall of the North Pole, the Grand Marshal Tianpeng, whose honorific title is Tianpeng Yuzhen Shouyuan Zhenjun, leads 360,000 divine soldiers, assists the Jade Emperor above, governs the Brahma Realm below, and oversees the springs and abysses below, and organizes the Yuanhuang."
Lin Jiu's eyes flashed with divine light as he raised the Heavenly Ruler and stood beside Mao Xiaofang and Yi Mei.
"Slay the demons!!!"
The three rode side by side, their feet treading the heavenly steps, the wind and clouds following them like shadows. The magical weapons in their hands reached straight to the heavens, unleashing bolts of lightning that cleaved through the netherworld, slashing down upon the Great Black Buddha Mother.
