Hu Le and Tongtian Jiaozhu joined forces to wipe out the Styx Ancestor and many experts under his leadership of the Asura Cult in one fell swoop, which can be said to have completed a perfect cleanup operation.
Meanwhile, in Bianliang City on the other side, the fierce battle within the Lotus Bodhi Formation was gradually coming to an end.
The disciples of the three religions all entered the fray and engaged in fierce fighting, each suffering varying degrees of injury or death.
Among them, the Eight Immortals of the Human Sect suffered more than half of their losses, and the Shu Mountain lineage suffered even more heavy casualties.
As for the Chan Sect, not only did the third and fourth generation disciples perish, but even important figures such as Huanglong Zhenren, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and Lingbao Dafashi, who were direct disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, were killed by Buddhist disciples and demon saints. In the end, their true spirits were directly sent to the Investiture of the Gods.
In contrast, the Buddhist side also suffered extremely heavy losses, with many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats losing their lives in this fierce battle.
Judging from the number of disciples who died, it was even several times more than the total number of disciples who perished in the Ren and Chan sects combined.
However, despite losing so many disciples, Buddhism remains incredibly powerful overall.
Even after suffering such enormous losses, their remaining strength still far surpasses that of the two religions.
After all, Buddhism has a profound foundation and formidable strength, and these losses will not be a fatal blow to their overall power.
Therefore, the remaining strength of Buddhism still dwarfs that of the other two religions.
After a fierce battle among the disciples, the moment finally arrived when several sect leaders and saints personally intervened.
Within the Lotus Bodhi Formation, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun joined forces to fight against Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa.
As the disciples of the three religions and the remaining demons withdrew from the formation, only the five sect leaders and saints remained, engaged in a fierce battle.
On this vast and boundless pure land, Bodhi trees stand tall, golden lotuses bloom on the ground, and auspicious light and auspicious energy linger in the forest.
The Buddha's light flowed freely within the golden lotus and spread across the ground, permeating the entire formation.
Above the great formation, several colorful auspicious clouds hung high.
On one of the auspicious clouds, a magnificent and exquisite pagoda of heaven and earth stood tall. This pagoda swayed slightly, cascading down a powerful and majestic stream of dark yellow energy like a waterfall.
Another auspicious cloud resembled rippling water, radiating five-colored light. Above it hung ten thousand golden lamps, their rays falling down like dripping water from the eaves.
It goes without saying who these two auspicious clouds belong to.
Opposite to these two auspicious clouds, three more auspicious clouds hung.
They floated side by side in the air, like three majestic mountains, exuding a breathtaking aura.
The auspicious cloud on the left resembled a wisp of ethereal light, radiating endless cloud brilliance.
Amidst the clouds and light, a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers can be faintly seen.
As the clouds and water washed over it, the treasure map slowly unfolded, radiating clusters of mysterious light full of vitality and creation.
These mysterious lights are like enigmatic talismans, containing endless mysteries of heaven and earth.
Above the map of mountains and rivers, hangs a perfectly round red embroidered ball.
This red hydrangea is blood-red all over, crystal clear, and radiates a dazzling light.
It spins rapidly, each rotation shooting out countless dazzling red rays of light, like ten thousand sharp arrows, shooting straight into the stars in the sky.
Without a doubt, this auspicious cloud belongs to the goddess Nuwa.
Of these three auspicious clouds, the one in the middle is the most special, as if it were formed by the convergence of endless golden light of merit.
The serene Buddha light flowed above the auspicious clouds, like a golden mist slowly spreading out in the void.
Within this Buddha's light, three crystal-clear relics hang, rising and falling continuously as the light washes over them, displaying endless changes and mysteries.
Without a doubt, this unique auspicious cloud belongs to the Sage Who Guides.
His presence filled the entire formation with a sacred aura, as if he were the ruler of this world.
As for the last auspicious cloud, it was released by the Sage Zhunti.
Above this auspicious cloud hangs a majestic golden statue.
This deity has twenty-four heads and eighteen arms, each holding a different treasure, such as necklaces, parasols, flower baskets, golden bows, and vases.
These treasures shone with dazzling light and exuded a powerful aura, captivating all who beheld them.
This golden statue, with its solemn and dignified expression, is formed from the condensation of all concentration and wisdom, representing the supreme path of strife in Buddhism...
At the beginning, the five auspicious clouds hovered in mid-air, separated by a certain distance, presenting a tense and confrontational situation.
However, after the disciples stepped out of the formation, these auspicious clouds seemed to sense their master's intentions and began to stir restlessly as they moved.
Immediately afterwards, clusters of auspicious clouds seemed to be propelled by an invisible force, rapidly rushing towards the opponent.
In an instant, countless dazzling lights splashed out, like a magnificent fireworks display.
The entire Lotus Bodhi Array resonated with the violent impact, causing the entire void to tremble.
At this moment, the five sages found themselves in the center of the formation, engaging in a breathtaking battle of magic.
They each used their strengths and employed all their skills in an attempt to defeat their opponent.
However, because the formation was set up so perfectly and flawlessly, no residual energy could leak out of the formation despite the extremely fierce battle.
All forces were suppressed by the powerful might of Bodhi and Golden Lotus, keeping the fierce battle confined within the formation and preventing it from affecting the surrounding environment.
Just then, a dazzling five-colored light flashed, and a pure white golden bridge slowly rose from the formation.
This golden bridge hangs in the void, its five-colored rays illuminating the thirty-three heavens, directly connecting the past, present, and future.
Everyone understood immediately; it turned out that Laozi had already unleashed his creation treasure—the Taiji Diagram.
At this moment, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had stepped onto the golden bridge side by side and stood at the highest point of the bridge, surrounded by innate divine light, which stopped the flow of time and space.
Immediately, from its high vantage point, it unleashed several massive bolts of lightning that seemed to split the heavens and earth.
A deafening roar resounded as divine lightning suddenly exploded within the formation, its power astonishing, blasting countless Bodhi trees and golden lotuses into dust.
However, even though these Bodhi trees and golden lotuses were destroyed by divine lightning, as long as the Buddha's light in the formation still exists and the two holy leaders are not killed, these Bodhi trees and golden lotuses will continue to emerge from the ground, seemingly endless.
They seem to possess a tenacious vitality; no matter how much damage they suffer, they will regrow and continue to maintain the operation of the formation...
