Chapter 763: Blood Buddha Scripture
Years ago, before her identity was revealed, Xin Ru Nun intended to use E Shengfan as a "dark pawn." When the time was ripe, he would suddenly strike, delivering a fatal blow to Shi Feiyang, or at least severely wounding him, preparing for her future plan to "Buddha Transform" the world.
Unfortunately, Shi Feiyang obtained the Yuanyun Ball before her attack, uncovering the clue in advance. E Shengfan sought her help, forcing her to "extract" E Shengfan from the Demon God Scripture.
She pulled E Shengfan and the believers in the book to Jiuhua Mountain, realizing that the connection between E Shengfan and the Demon Scripture would inevitably be reclaimed by Shi Feiyang.
Coincidentally, E Shengfan sought her help, so she offered him a suggestion: to vow for rebirth into the Demonic Destruction Treasure Record.
The Demonic Destruction Treasure Record is a proper Buddhist Scripture, crafted by Absolute Venerable with immense effort. If E Shengfan vowed towards Buddhism, settled within it, and declared a Great Vow in line with the Absolute Venerable's will, aiming to cleanse all demons worldwide, he might indeed sever his ties with the Demon God Scripture, leaving Shi Feiyang helpless against him.
But alas, E Shengfan couldn't achieve this.
Xin Ru Nun knew he couldn't, predicting he would eventually be reclaimed by Shi Feiyang. After calculating the related karma entanglements, she made alternative arrangements.
The Demonic Destruction Treasure Record was sealed by Absolute Venerable in the cliff in front of Dragon Elephant Temple at Yitian Cliff in Sichuan. Later, it fell into Xie Ying and Xie Lin's hands, and eventually into Xin Ru Nun's possession.
Xin Ru reforged the scripture, sealing it within the mountain wall of West Kunlun. Shortly after Shi Feiyang reclaimed E Shengfan, following the Blood Demon Scripture, the seal outside the scripture exploded, and it flew straight to the Immortal City, targeting Princess of Stone God.
Xin Ru advised Princess of Stone God: Shi Feiyang will inevitably fuse the Evil Book from Blood God Scripture and Demon God Scripture in the future, and use the newly created Blood Demon Scripture to control Princess of Stone God. Not only will she be captured, but even Deng Yin, who cultivated the Blood Demon Body, will also be restrained and killed.
The only way to break this is to find a way to fuse the Demonic Destruction Treasure Record with the Good Volume from Blood God Scripture. Princess of Stone God will continue to be the Sovereign Demon God, forming a Blood Buddha Scripture, using Buddha Law to control demons. Although this does not guarantee victory, it can prevent being restrained and might even gain an upper hand.
Xin Ru is not kindly helping Princess of Stone God and Deng Yin; they are not allies. It is purely out of shared interests.
Because they have a common enemy, strong and cunning, they are forced to help each other, thereby helping themselves.
Princess of Stone God, aware of the various drawbacks of this method, still feels compelled to practice it!
Shi Feiyang uses the Blood Demon Scripture at Jiuhua Mountain to collect Xin Ru's followers, dividing her million believers and absorbing those connected to the Demon Scripture, even those previously unrelated.
Ordinary followers are lightly captured by the Blood Demon Divine Light emitted from the Demon Scripture and instantly absorbed.
Only Pan Du, Guang Hui, Guang Ming, Zhu Youmu, and Xie Shan still fiercely battle on.
Besides them, there are the four elder demons sent by Deng Yin and the Blood God's son.
Hundreds of Blood God's sons are humanoid blood shadows, swarming around, flashing like shrimp and lightning, overwhelming the eyes. Ordinary Independent Immortals can't withstand them, and an Earth Immortal facing one must have a corresponding refining magic treasure; otherwise, quickly retreating is the only option.
Shi Feiyang releases the Red Flower Princess and E Shengfan, with the Red Flower Princess, in the sky, raining down numerous blood-colored demon flowers in rotating flight. Each flower chasing down a blood shadow, seemingly slow yet swift, once catching up, stamping on the blood shadow's head, forming a Blood Demon Talisman, capturing them back into the Demon Scripture.
E Shengfan, on the other hand, employs simple brute force, releasing demon on the left and Buddha on the right, launching a massacre, smashing all blood shadows to bits. Before they can reassemble into human forms, he opens his mouth to inhale, swallowing them whole, and after sweeping away all blood shadows, returning to the scriptures, Shi Feiyang then forces him to expel the consumed blood shadows.
All blood shadows are swept clean. Shi Feiyang approaches Red Corpse God Monarch, using seven Purple and Blue Sword Rainbows to suppress his Red Corpse Seven Evil Incarnations: "Fellow Daoist, long time no see."
Red Corpse God Monarch clearly unwilling to duel with him, shakes his body, retracting all the Seven Evil Incarnations.
Shi Feiyang says: "Fellow Daoist, don't go down the same path with Ah Yin!"
Red Corpse God Monarch doesn't actually agree with Deng Yin's approach. He values loyalty too much, willing to suffer losses to help his brother: "The path he's taking may not necessarily be a dead-end."
Seeing him stubborn, Shi Feiyang laughs: "Without me, his path may not necessarily be dark, perhaps even red, but with me, it will certainly be dark! He has a cold and arrogant nature, yet you prioritize being righteous, you two are not of the same ilk. Continue mingling with him, disaster is imminent!"
Red Corpse God Monarch responds solemnly: "That's not necessarily true!"
He considered himself indebted to Shi Feiyang. Years ago, Shi Feiyang helped him resolve the drawbacks of the Red Corpse Seven Evil Incarnations, assisted him in Gathering Soul and Refining Form, and even gifted him Heavenly Blue Divine Sand to suppress his Heart Demon. He was a great benefactor on his cultivation path, and he was unwilling to oppose his benefactor, so he decided to return to the Star Constellations Sea. After all, they had come to Jiuhua Mountain merely to assist, and this was Xin Ru Nun's domain.
After saying that, he whistled and bid farewell to Shi Feiyang, then transformed into a red blood mist, flying westward through the void.
Hearing his signal, the Jiulei God Monarch and Sha Shentong also cast spells to leave, yet the elder Shi Pi did not depart, as he was being surrounded and attacked by four experts.
His initial adversary was Leng Yun Fairy Yu Wa. Yu Wa had a grudge against him and had confronted him aggressively from the start.
Yu Wa was no match for elder Shi Pi and quickly fell into a disadvantage. Fortunately, Shi Feiyang brought many people along, including Shaoyang God Monarch and Xian Kong Patriarch, who came to assist.
Shaoyang God Monarch wildly unleashed the Bing Fire Divine Thunder, while Xian Kong Patriarch wielded the Magnetic Cold Flame. One cold, one hot, resembling a towering volcano and an icy peak in the sky, elder Shi Pi used the Five Mountains Divine Peaks to defend himself, shattering the ice and fire mountains several times. At this moment, Zhen Yue God Monarch also joined the fray.
Zhen Yue God Monarch's spells and Magical Treasure were the nemesis of the Five Mountains Divine Peaks, shattering one of the peaks right upon arrival. Fortunately, this Demon Treasure contained the Universe, each hosting an Asura Demon, allowing it to regroup after being shattered. Reforged by the Shura Blood Flame and elder Shi Pi's efforts, it swiftly reassembled and reformed.
But being besieged by four people, elder Shi Pi fell into a disadvantage, managing only to defend, unable to counterattack.
The four attackers were aware that he still had the Blood Lotus Calyx, the Twelve Divine Demons, and the Heavenly and Ten Earths Secret Demon God Thunder. Hence, they dared not press too tightly, merely encircling him.
At this moment, as the Red Corpse God Monarch and the others successively retreated to the Star Constellations Sea, elder Shi Pi remained surrounded and unable to leave.
Deng Bagu and others had already collected eight Shariputra and offered them before Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang smiled: "Hasn't Xin Ru Nun returned yet? If she doesn't return soon, I'll just break her Fetus Burial Array!"
He accepted the eight Shariputras, then took out two Secret Demon Divine Shuttles, forming a seal with both hands, binding them together with mana.
The eight Shariputras arranged themselves into a circle in the air, resembling an Eight Diagrams symbol, with the two Secret Demon Divine Shuttles inside, connected end to end like a Tai Chi Diagram without the fish eyes.
As he continued infusing mana, the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram spun rapidly, faster and faster, and as it spun, the fish eyes of the Yin-Yang fish within started to spontaneously form!
Shi Feiyang gently pressed down with his hands, and the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram continued spinning, descending from the clouds, directly plunging into the blood hole on the ground.
The moment it entered, far away on Baihua Mountain, Xin Ru Nun instantly sensed it, and was taken aback.
The Fetus Burial Array, appearing Buddhist yet Demonic inside, was her unique creation based on the highest spells of both Buddhist and Demon sects, unmatched in the world. At most, someone might consider removing the eight Shariputras on the outside, breaking the superficial Buddha Formation, but that held little significance. On the contrary, those Shariputras would eventually transform into Demon Embryos, acting against those who held them.
She could never have imagined that Shi Feiyang would see through her array and could find the true method to break it!
This method was unknown to her beforehand, but she instantly sensed that if untouched, it would surely break her Demon Formation!
The Fetus Burial Array was the foundation of the Great Ru Pure Land, and once broken, the Buddha Transformation of Great Ru Pure Land would become nothing but a pipe dream, truly becoming an Illusion Realm.
Xin Ru dared not delay further, immediately abandoning her opponents Fen Tuo and You Tan, rushing back to Jiuhua Mountain.
A flash of golden light, the Hundred Feet Golden Body "Xin Ru Buddha" appeared above Jiuhua Mountain, as Zhu Youmu and the others found themselves at the end of their ropes. The unexpected arrival of their pillar gave them a boost to counterattack.
Xin Ru fixated on Shi Feiyang, raised her hand, and released vast Buddha Light. Within the Buddha Light appeared various Buddha Avatars, attacking simultaneously, forcing Huo Wuhai, Deng Bagu, Shaoyang God Monarch, Xian Kong Patriarch, and others away, then summoning Zhu Youmu and other followers to her side, connecting the Buddha Light into one mass, forming a mountain of light, suffused with exotic fragrance, embodying the scene of a Buddha's descent.
Elder Shi Pi, having escaped the predicament, was about to leave back to the Star Constellations Sea when Xin Ru called out to him: "Fellow Daoist, you were once ranked alongside me among the Cosmic Six Strange. Now, having traveled a great distance from the Star Constellations Sea to aid us, please trouble yourself a bit longer, and after I've repelled this group of nuisances, I'll properly thank you."
Elder Shi Pi remained, as Xin Ru observed E Shengfan had perished, she positioned elder Shi Pi in E Shengfan's former location, then addressed Shi Feiyang: "You wretched beast, I haven't gone to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to trouble you, yet you dare come to Jiuhua Mountain to provoke me."
Shi Feiyang smiled and said: "You pride yourself as 'Xin Ru Buddha,' yet your 'Evil Mouth' is unrestrained. In the cultivation of Buddhist Law, you are no better than a mere mortal. You deliberately incited the Sovereign Demon God in my book to ambush me, yet claim you haven't troubled me?"
