Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.
"Could this guy be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied"—this is the great vow made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Lu Li had seen this phrase many times in Journey to the West, but he never expected that this monk would also make the same grand vow.
But no matter how you look at him, this guy doesn't seem like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at all.
Just as Lu Li was wondering, Meng Po's lips twitched and she shouted angrily, "You audacious bald monk, how dare you slander my Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
Lu Li was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.
"What? The underworld already has Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"Who is this guy???"
Lu Li suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This monk is not Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but the aura emanating from him is definitely at the level of seeing the heavens!
"Ahem... I have worshipped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva since I was a child. What? Is that not allowed?" the monk asked calmly.
"presumptuous!"
Meng Po immediately made a move, but the monk easily blocked it with a single palm strike.
"You're also from the Realm of Gazing at Heaven?" Meng Po asked, somewhat taken aback.
"Amitabha, this humble monk really does not want to take action. Please, Meng Po, let me go to the underworld."
"You can go to the underworld if you kill me; otherwise, I'll eat you!"
Meng Po spoke coldly, and a powerful aura surged from her body once again. In that instant, the surrounding Yellow Springs Road trembled, as if it were about to collapse.
At this moment, Meng Po actually returned to her original appearance.
She transformed into an enormous snake, coiled on the ground, its tongue flicking incessantly, its eyes as cold as frost.
"So Meng Po was actually a snake demon!"
"Amitabha, since that's the case, then this humble monk will have to offend you." After saying this, the monk exuded a powerful aura and confronted Meng Po.
"You're asking for it!"
Enraged, Meng Po opened her blood-red maw and lunged at the monk.
The monk clasped his hands together and chanted, "Golden Bell Shield!"
After saying this, a large golden bell appeared around the monk, enveloping him. Meng Po's attacks landed on the bell, but they couldn't budge it at all.
"snort!"
Meng Po snorted coldly, and with another mouth, she spewed out a ball of flame, shooting it towards the monk.
The flames were incredibly fast, reaching the monk's side in the blink of an eye.
However, the monk suddenly vanished from the spot the next moment.
When he reappeared, he was behind Meng Po, pointing a finger at her head.
"Bang!"
Meng Po felt dizzy from the finger poke, and her snake tail thrashed violently.
However, at that moment, the monk touched Meng Po's seven-inch spot with his other finger, and Meng Po immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire body flying away like a kite with a broken string.
"That's amazing!"
After Meng Po got up from the ground, she looked at the big monk standing in the distance and showed a deep sense of fear.
She hadn't expected the monk to be so powerful; she was no match for him at all.
"What exactly do you want to do in the underworld?" Meng Po asked.
"By the command of the Buddha Tathagata, I shall meet with the Earth Goddess Houtu," the monk said.
Meng Po was taken aback upon hearing this. "Following the Buddha's instructions?"
"Our Underworld and your Mount Ling have always kept to themselves. You have trespassed into our Underworld. Do you want to start a war?" Meng Po asked coldly.
The monk smiled and said, "Meng Po, you have misunderstood me. I have come here only to see Houtu Niangniang."
After a moment of silence, she said coldly, "Does the Goddess Houtu think you can just see her whenever you want? If you don't leave, you're declaring war on my Underworld!"
"Boom!"
Then, Meng Po made her move again, unleashing waves of violent energy that plowed deep trenches dozens of meters into the ground.
"Amitabha!"
The monk clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras. Then, a layer of golden light appeared on his arms. The golden light grew more and more intense, and finally, it condensed into a huge golden hand, which suddenly grabbed at Meng Po.
Upon seeing this, Meng Po's expression changed slightly, and a cloud of black mist immediately emerged from her body, from which came a series of miserable screams.
The next moment, the black mist swallowed the golden hand, and Meng Po was already in its grasp.
"ah!!!!"
The next moment, Meng Po let out a shrill scream, which instantly spread throughout the entire Yellow Springs, causing all the ghosts to wail.
Then, six figures appeared in the sky.
"Who dares to trespass into the underworld?"
The leader had a fierce and menacing appearance, with flowing red hair and a menacing aura.
He is the Lord of the Fifth Court of the Underworld, Yama, the King of Hell.
His strength has reached the peak of Martial Venerable, and he is only one step away from stepping into the Realm of Peeping at the Heavens.
"He's from the Western Realm, from Mount Ling! Quickly, kill him!" Meng Po screamed frantically.
The Western Realm, Mount Ling. It is the pinnacle of Buddhism, its foundation no less than that of the Underworld, and perhaps even stronger.
Upon hearing Meng Po's shout, a murderous glint flashed in Yama's eyes: "Make your move!"
Apart from Yama, the other five are all palace masters of the underworld.
They are the Fourth Palace Master, King Wuguan; the Sixth Palace Master, King Biancheng; the Seventh Palace Master, King Taishan; the Eighth Palace Master, King Dushi; and the Ninth Palace Master, King Pingdeng.
Lu Li also realized that they were all Martial Venerable experts!
Six of the Ten Kings of Hell have arrived, and all of them are genuine Martial Venerable experts. The foundation of this Underworld is indeed terrifying!
However, the monk was not afraid.
He flashed and appeared in front of the palace masters of the underworld. With a flick of his right fist, he threw a punch that whistled through the air and smashed fiercely towards King Yama.
"Um?!"
King Yama raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, clearly not expecting the monk to dare to take the initiative to attack.
"boom!"
Yama's body traced a straight path in the void, colliding with the monk's fist.
The collision of their bodies produced a loud bang, and ripples of energy spread outwards, causing the surrounding yellow sand to ripple.
"How powerful!" Yama was secretly surprised, but his expression remained largely unchanged, only his eyes turned somewhat cold as he looked at the monk.
Yama narrowed his eyes, his figure suddenly became blurry, and he disappeared from the spot.
The six Kings of Hell attacked together, shouting loudly, "Decree of Hell!"
"Buzz~"
Six talismans appeared out of thin air above the monk's head. The talismans were light blue in color and covered with inscriptions. The interwoven runes exuded an ancient and weathered aura.
This is the Yama Decree of the Ten Kings of Hell. It has little effect on the physical body, but it is extremely effective in restraining the soul.
Even if you are a powerful expert at the Heavenly Realm, you will still have an absolute suppressive effect.
With a wave of their hands, the six temple masters sent out six talismans that flew towards the monk's head, instantly enveloping him.
"town!"
The six Yama Kings shouted in unison, and the six talismans emitted a buzzing sound, with runes lighting up one after another.
The monk felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his head, making it hard for him to breathe and even make it difficult to breathe.
"Vajra Subdues Demons!"
