Lingshan is a legendary Buddhist holy site and the sacred place of the Buddha.
This mountain range is characterized by its undulating peaks, swirling clouds and mist, auspicious light from the heavens, and clouds of good fortune. Colorful clouds float in the mountains, divine light permeates the air, and exotic flowers and rare herbs adorn the landscape. Even a sacred site could not surpass this.
A gentle breeze wafts through the mountains, carrying the fragrance of flowers and the scent of earth, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
The sacred mountain contains an extremely rich spiritual energy, seemingly inexhaustible.
Its abundance of spiritual energy is so great that even in the vast and boundless primordial world, it can probably be considered one of the most outstanding blessed lands and immortal mountains...
The sounds of battle outside the mountain echoed through the sky, and all the rare birds and beasts inside the sacred mountain trembled in fear. In millions of years, when had they ever witnessed anything like this?
Since Mount Ling was established in the primordial wilderness, and Buddha opened the Great Thunderclap Temple, no one has ever come to attack it.
This Styx Ancestor has certainly set a precedent, and he's also chosen a good time...
The Tathagata, leading a large entourage of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Bodhisattvas, arrived outside Mount Ling in a grand procession.
The Styx Ancestor, along with his disciples including Brahma, came forward to greet them, cackling wickedly from afar: "Buddha, you little brat! You've finally decided to show yourself!"
"Styx! You have quite the audacity to bring people here to disturb the tranquility of my sacred mountain!" Buddha shouted back.
The Styx Ancestor narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and said disdainfully, "Today, I will not only ruin the tranquility of your Spirit Mountain, but I will also ensure the complete extermination of everyone on your Spirit Mountain, leaving not a single blade of grass behind!"
Having said that, he was too lazy to engage in any more verbal sparring with Buddha, and waved his hand, ordering, "My children, charge! Today, let us, your patriarch, flatten Mount Ling!"
"Our Ancestor is mighty! He has crushed Mount Ling!"
"Our Ancestor is mighty! He has crushed Mount Ling!"
"..."
The Asura warriors were filled with excitement and cheered loudly in unison.
The Styx Ancestor was very satisfied with the imposing manner of his disciples and grand-disciples.
Over the years, the Buddhist sect, relying on the presence of two saints, has consistently bullied him and the entire Asura race.
Not to mention that they have been forcibly converting their own Asura clan, the Daoist Zhunti has repeatedly entered the Blood Sea to beat him up, making him lose face.
Now that a great calamity has arisen, it is the time to settle karmic debts and vie for the Primordial Dao Fruit.
Even this coward who had been suppressed for many years could no longer hold back.
Moreover, once they make a move, they're going to do something truly earth-shattering.
This time, the Styx Ancestor spared no expense, gathering all the elite forces of the Asura clan, which surged towards Mount Ling like a raging torrent.
These Asura warriors were all battle-hardened and incredibly brave, with expressions like evil demons and celestial monsters.
Today, hundreds of millions of Asura warriors densely surround and encircle Mount Ling, completely sealing off the entire mountain, so that not even a fly can escape.
They wielded all sorts of weapons, exuding a fierce killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.
The malevolent energy condensed into a thick layer of demonic clouds, covering billions of miles of land and sky.
Thunder roared in the clouds, ghosts wailed and gods howled, and the entire sacred mountain appeared incredibly small under the shroud of dark clouds...
Now that the Asura army has launched an attack, the Buddhist sect will naturally not sit idly by and wait for its demise.
Countless Buddhist disciples emerged from Mount Ling and charged towards the Asura warriors.
Meanwhile, the Styx Ancestor had already approached the Buddha.
"Styx, why are you doing this? This calamity has nothing to do with you," sighed the Buddha.
"Enough with the nonsense. If the Ancestor doesn't take action soon, won't the Primordial Dao Fruit be out of your reach?" Ancestor Styx sneered.
"Hmm, Ancestor, you are ruthless. Just for your own selfish reasons, you are going to implicate the entire Asura clan?" Buddha Tathagata shook his head and sighed.
"Hmph, enough nonsense. Even if you, Tathagata, utter lotus flowers today, you will still not escape death."
After Styx Ancestor finished speaking, he leaped up and suddenly pounced on the Buddha, wielding the Yuan Tu A Bi sword with both hands to slash at the Buddha.
Faced with two extremely sharp sword lights, Tathagata raised his hand and pointed, a golden light falling from his fingertip, which transformed in the wind and instantly became a huge thousand-petaled golden lotus.
Two sword lights struck the golden lotus, which trembled violently, then spun around, easily deflecting the attack.
Upon seeing this, the Styx Ancestor immediately unleashed dozens of sword strikes around Tathagata in one go.
The Buddha merely summoned his sixteen-foot-tall golden body, standing motionless in the eight winds, with a lotus flower swaying around him.
The Styx Ancestor's dozen or so swords failed to harm him in the slightest; they were all easily dissolved by the lotus.
Upon seeing this, the Styx Ancestor cursed inwardly.
This plague-ridden junior, after so many years, has become so troublesome.
It seems that he was able to secure his position as the master of Mount Ling and unify Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism through his own abilities.
It wasn't entirely due to the influence of the sage...
A thought flashed through the mind of the Styx Ancestor, and the twelve-petaled red lotus emanating a mysterious aura beneath his feet floated out lightly.
Then, it burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire Ling Mountain in a crimson hue, like blood.
Countless bright red lotus flames, as vivid as blood, erupted forth, instantly coalescing into a raging sea of fire that swept towards the Tathagata with earth-shattering force.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, a hint of solemnity finally appeared on Tathagata's usually calm face.
It should be known that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is one of the most mysterious and unpredictable true fires in the world.
Its power is extremely astonishing. Anyone below the level of a saint, as long as they are burdened with karmic debts, cannot escape the fate of being burned by the true fire.
Moreover, the heavier the karmic burden a person carries, the more fiercely and intensely the red lotus karmic fire will burn.
Even those peerless experts who have reached the Great Luo Dao Lord realm or possess earth-shattering divine powers would find it difficult to escape unscathed if they were to accidentally come into contact with even the slightest bit of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, let alone gain any advantage from it.
However, Tathagata was not an ordinary great supernatural being. In terms of true strength, apart from the saints, there were probably few who could surpass him in the entire prehistoric world.
Faced with the surging flames, Tathagata immediately raised his hand and scattered a ball of divine light of merit.
This divine light is of the highest purity and is filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.
It rippled out silently, like spring water.
It immediately encountered the boundless red lotus karmic fire, and the two began to clash and erode each other relentlessly...
On the other side, Ran Deng and the others had also found their own opponents.
The Great Sun Buddha confronted the Great Brahma.
One was the son of the demon emperor Jun, who was born extraordinary and transformed all his demonic powers into boundless Buddhist magic.
He is one of the exemplary figures who transformed from demons into Buddhists and attained the highest Buddhist enlightenment.
Brahma was a disciple carefully cultivated by the Styx Ancestor, and he had also severed one of his three incarnations, achieving the realm of a great supernatural being.
His supernatural powers and techniques were truly passed down from the Styx Ancestor.
The two met and were truly evenly matched, their battle raging from the ground to the heavens, unleashing their supernatural powers and magical treasures in a fierce and evenly matched contest...
