Inside the main hall of Fengdu.
On its large seat, a huge, bizarre, fleshy monster sat cross-legged.
"Haha...They've finally arrived?"
However, I didn't expect another special individual to enter. His bloodline and physique are exceptionally powerful. If I could devour him, I might be able to complete the next step of my plan ahead of schedule.
The voice of the colossal flesh-and-blood creature echoed within the hall.
“If all of you go out, you will surely bring that brat to me... Then I will truly turn this secret realm into the underworld.”
"At that time, we will all be gods of the underworld, and mortals will be like food for us. This remote place outside will be just a pasture for my underworld!"
From beneath the enormous, bloated monster of flesh came a maniacal laugh.
Its voice seemed to carry throughout the entire secret realm.
Meanwhile, the many ghosts inside the hall were also letting out maniacal laughter.
...
"They're here!"
Li Ming's eyes flashed as he gazed at the distant Fengdu Palace.
The demon indeed became aware of their presence. With a series of eerie, maniacal laughs, as if summoned by him, numerous evil spirits, ghosts, and demons began to gather and riot.
The billowing, gloomy aura blotted out the sun, and the chilling atmosphere could freeze ordinary people instantly.
"Ghostly and demonic energy filled the air; this demon has gone mad."
The monk Xuan Kong clasped his hands together, expressing his shock and anger.
After rescuing the big black dog, the dog actually came in handy, helping Li Ming find the Cuiyun Palace, the location of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and meet up with the monks of Lingxuan Temple.
During his conversations with him, Li Ming also learned a lot of extremely secretive inside information.
Back then, a remnant of the primordial spirit of Wu Xuan, the founder of Lingxuan Temple, transformed into Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the secret realm. He wanted to use Buddhism to eliminate this demon. Unexpectedly, the demon's innate divine abilities were too strange. It did not resist at the first moment, but silently thought of a way to break the deadlock.
As time passed, even Wu Xuan's primordial spirit was worn away by the years and gradually lost its spirituality, while the demons still retained a wisp of obsession and even used external trial participants to gradually revive themselves.
Over the years, demons have attempted to completely seize control of this secret realm, refine the central Fengdu Palace, and make themselves the rulers of the realm.
If they succeed in taking control of the secret realm, their cultivation will quickly return to its peak, or even advance further.
Following the instructions of the token, they arrived at the location of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, only to find that the main hall had been destroyed and emptied by demons, leaving only a pile of ruins.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue that was originally located there has been hidden somewhere.
In the end, they could only rely on the relics of their ancestor to awaken his remaining obsession.
However... that obsession didn't have enough power to act. After explaining these cause-and-effect relationships, it simply said that it could only wait for the right opportunity, and then it disappeared without a trace. Now it's once again in a stalemate.
The monks of Lingxuan Temple were also at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Seeing the horde of demons approaching, a sense of despair arose in their hearts.
Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself:
"If we go all out this time, I wonder how many Yin spirits we can harvest, and our cultivation level will increase significantly."
These ghosts and demons that came to his door might have been difficult for an ordinary martial artist at the Divine Power Realm, but for him, they were undoubtedly excellent tonics delivered to his door.
"My lord, I've suddenly caught a bit of a cold, but... I can still cheer you on."
The big black dog caught a glimpse of the pitch-black waves and was terrified by the sight of the raging demons and ghosts filling the sky.
It was just a pitiful, weak, and helpless dog. It had never seen such a scene before. Sending it to fight the enemy was just sending it to its death.
Or perhaps, let those ignorant ghosts on the other side taste dog meat?
"You dog demon, don't you dare undermine morale!"
Xuan Kong already disliked the aura emanating from this large black dog, and seeing him still cowering there, he suddenly shouted:
"Since we brothers and I chose to enter this place, we were prepared to perish in the demon cave. Now that the demons are attacking, we cannot retreat."
“Junior Brother Xuan Kong is right. Now that we’re here, there’s no way we’re leaving…”
The monks quickly echoed their agreement, for at such a time, it was crucial not to shake the morale of the troops.
The big black dog secretly sneered.
Even if you want to leave, you need to have a way to leave, right?
However, it naturally dared not show any outward expression and could only hide on Li Ming's body, pretending to be a dead dog.
"Please don't be impatient, everyone. That demon is powerful and difficult to deal with, but..."
Li Ming's voice was crystal clear as he secretly used the true intent of the Immovable King to suppress the panic of everyone present.
"We don't need to be afraid. These demons are muddle-headed and lack intelligence. We just need to work together to resist them... And if those demons appear, our ancestor will certainly not stand idly by."
Li Ming's words were naturally intended to appease people's hearts. He himself did not know what Master Wuxuan was thinking.
However, since the Sweeper Monk and the others let them in, they must have been confident in their abilities.
The Buddhists like to use cryptic language and play the riddle game, never giving a clear explanation, but they certainly won't let the demon's lair be destroyed so easily.
Once you understand this, you can confidently go all out.
"Good! We'll set up a Buddhist formation; these demons and monsters are nothing to fear!"
Everyone rallied their spirits and stopped hesitating.
Suddenly, a strong, chilling aura appeared above their heads, carrying a sinister killing intent.
"They're here!"
A glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes as he looked up and saw the four ghosts approaching, which startled him.
What the hell are these things?!
These four creatures, perhaps influenced by demons, were not human-shaped, but rather varied in form and all had completely black skin. Their faces, however, were barely recognizable as human features.
However, it is extremely ugly, and if an ordinary person looks at it for too long, it will inevitably affect their mind.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita Emptiness!"
Upon seeing the monster approaching, the five monks of Lingxuan Temple did not hesitate and instantly formed a large formation, unleashing their combined attack technique.
A golden light flashed, and a golden dragon soared into the sky from the center of the five people.
It took the combined strength of five people to barely unleash the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Dharma Form.
However, its power is naturally quite exaggerated. Subduing demons, eliminating monsters, and eradicating evil spirits are all easy for it. It is the nemesis of these demons.
If a Martial Saint achieves perfect cultivation, he can unleash the Eight Heavenly Dragons, sweeping away all obstacles and becoming invincible.
Without hesitation, Li Ming clenched his fists, his body surging like an angry dragon, his bones trembling, and he emitted a roar like a tiger, leopard, or dragon, his terrifying blood and qi propelling his body forward.
The fist fell like a falling star!
Hundreds of evil spirits and demons in the distance were instantly blasted into dust!
