The Ancestor of All Demons

Xie Shan used the Heart Lamp activated by Xin Ru's secret method, unable to harm the body but capable of attacking the heart, assaulting the soul and consciousness. The Master of Patience had deep entanglements with him, so the damage was doubled when hit.

Seeing that her lifelong cultivation of Formless Buddha Light was penetrated by a single strike from that lamp flower, she was instantly horrified.

It wasn't because the lamp flower was powerful, but because she realized the flaw in her own character!

As she saw the Xie family sisters attacking together, she felt pained and knew she couldn't continue like this. Otherwise, she would end up explaining herself here and die at the hands of this father-daughter trio!

In just a moment, everyone on the Buddhist side encountered danger one after another.

Master You Tan knew that a decision had to be made; she also knew what Shi Feiyang was worried about and had to give him a guarantee on the spot.

So she transmitted to Shi Feiyang: "The Evil Demon invades the Righteous Skill; True Master Shi, do not remain a bystander. If this demon is not eliminated, this world will not be at peace. Please offer assistance, and in the future, all Buddhist disciples in the world will remember the grace of your protection. When the day comes for the Buddhist Law to turn again, a fated disciple of the Three Jewels will come to retrieve the two treasures from your hands..."

She directly made the decision to promise the Seven Treasures Golden Banner and the Conch Leaf Talisman to Shi Feiyang.

But since these items were, after all, sacred treasures of the Buddhist sect, she did not have the right to give them away, only saying they would be kept with Shi Feiyang until a Buddhist person could come to retrieve them from him in the future.

As for how long this future might be and whether the Buddhist disciple who comes to retrieve the treasures would be considered fated, this would be left to fate, perhaps decided by heaven or by Shi Feiyang, she no longer cared!

In the Shushan World, there were many top experts in the Buddhist sect, but the one who had the most connections with this world's people was Master You Tan. She participated in almost everything, unlike Zun Sheng and Tian Meng who had very shallow connections, Fen Tuo was more involved but still couldn't compare to Master You Tan.

Master You Tan was considered the leader of the Buddhist sect's exoteric school in this world. Speaking publicly like this essentially settled the matter; her words would be like laws, with many causal changes involved.

Of course, she also stated the reason in her words—Shi Feiyang had shown grace to the Buddhist disciples of this world, and future generations of Buddhist disciples could still say he was a Great Protector of the Buddhist sect, wielding two unparalleled magical treasures of Buddhism... without being disgraced.

At this time, Shi Feiyang seemed to be waiting on Jiuhua Mountain, chatting casually with his disciples, but he was actually continually casting spells, knowing the Buddhist sect would certainly seek his aid and that he would ultimately have to face the ferocious "Xin Ru Buddha."

After Master You Tan finished speaking, he remained focused, continuously casting spells.

Another cup of tea's time passed before he said, "Fellow Buddhist Daoists can temporarily rest and watch the battle on the surrounding Floating Divine Peaks; leave the Xin Ru Demon to me!"

Only then did Master You Tan breathe a sigh of relief, immediately abandoning Xin Ru's true form and forcibly went to rescue Zen Master Wu Ming.

"Where do you think you're going, demon witch!" Xin Ru's true form wielded the Great Prajna Demon-Slaying Sword, striking towards Master You Tan. In the empty strike, dozens of thousand-zhang golden sword arcs split the sky into several parts, attempting to destroy Master You Tan.

Shi Feiyang struck from behind at this time, launching with Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

The tips of his two fingers flowed with purple, blue, red, white, and various colored light energies, arching upward, connecting to the Nine Heavens Divine Gang, drawing the Purple Cloud Thunder, Qingxiao Thunder, Jade Xiao Thunder, Shenxiao Thunder, etc., as his finger pointed, mad thunder descended from the skies, with tens of thousands of thunders striking at once.

A total of 36,000 thunders of various colors descended from different layers of the sky, striking fiercely towards Xin Ru's true form.

Seeing the power, Xin Ru hastily activated the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, releasing layer upon layer of Bright Clouds above. The numerous Bright Clouds overlapped to form a canopy-like cloud layer, the center shining blindingly, coating the surrounding heaven and earth with a golden hue.

The 36,000 thunders were merely the first strike, with Shenxiao Thunder divided into nine types, each with 4,000, each a different color, falling alternately. The intervals were extremely quick, rotating 360 times within a single breath to correspond with the number of Circulations, massive accumulation of thunder light, the heat gathered without dispersing, drilling down madly, piercing through most of the Bright Clouds.

In great haste, Xin Ru spat golden light, rapidly rotating the Seven Treasures Golden Banner.

With eight other hands, she operated the Holy Wheel of Conviction and Catastrophic Rotation, which vibrated to unleash thousands of golden wheels, wildly slicing through the four great elements, fracturing space, whistling and slicing towards Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang summoned Suiren's Drill, exhaling Immortal Energy, transforming it into thousands, each drill targeting the center of a Holy Wheel, drilling fiercely.

With cracking explosions, the Holy Wheels were shattered, bursting into clusters of five-colored radiance!

Their duel became increasingly intense, quickly forcing Xin Ru's eight arms to abandon Master Fen Tuo, turning back to deal fully with Shi Feiyang.

They both used the most powerful spells that could shatter mountains and split earth. Xin Ru then utilized the Great Confession of All Buddhas in Ten Directions and Three Lifetimes, revealing myriad Buddhas amidst layered Buddha Light to jointly attack Shi Feiyang. Shi Feiyang countered with the Pre-Postnatal Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder Net, capturing these Buddhas in a net, blasting them to pieces! Shi Feiyang retaliated with the Circulation Light Disc while Xin Ru defended with the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, coordinating with the Demon Slaying Sword to counterattack.

In this duel, outsiders could hardly intervene, and their big moves each covered thousands of miles in range. The detonated energy frequently warped space, even experts like Master You Tan and Zhu Youmu would feel uncomfortable getting too close. If not for the eight Floating Divine Peaks array protecting them, the light and heat emanating outward would have caused catastrophic destruction to the surroundings!

Even so, the eight Divine Peaks continued to tremble under the impact, rumbling loudly, while the nine Immortals above them concentrated fully, exerting all their strength to maintain control.

Xin Ru gave her utmost effort. Seeing that Shi Feiyang could not be defeated, she let out a long cry, summoning the six Avatars of Fury to encircle Shi Feiyang.

Suddenly, Shi Feiyang laughed and said, "I've been waiting for this moment!" as he pointed towards the Asura Divine Demon.

Among the six paths of beings, the Asura Path is the fiercest and most powerful. In legends, Asuras often assault the Heavenly Palace, causing rivers of blood, forcing the celestials to pray to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas for protection.

Even among Xin Ru's six Avatars, the Asura Divine Demon was the strongest and the most "wrathful," formed by condensing all the wrath and anger accumulated by Xin Ru from deviating from sects to the Buddhist path and then returning to outsider paths. Whenever dueling with others, it was always at the forefront.

The Asura Divine Demon, full of rage, was ready to charge at Shi Feiyang at all costs. Seeing Shi Feiyang point directly at him, he thought Shi Feiyang would shoot Purple and Blue Sword Qi or some potent Spell, so he hurriedly used Karma Fire Demon Light to protect himself. Little did he know, Shi Feiyang did not launch anything. The change occurred within, not externally.

With a resounding explosion, the entire body of the Asura Divine Demon burst from inside out, with the enormous Dharma Body, over a hundred feet tall, split in half at the chest!

A golden light surged from within him, with eight glittering Shariputras on the outside and a rapidly spinning Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram inside, on which Li Ning was sitting deeply in zen.

The Asura Divine Demon had previously swallowed him whole. Li Ning was determined not to fight back with Buddhist Law, remaining in zen, unmoving and unwavering, entering an almost selfless state.

At that time, Xin Ru had no chance to deal with him and emerged from the underground to battle everyone.

It wasn't until now that Shi Feiyang caused him to explode.

Though the Asura Avatar was torn in two, its vast body still would not die. The upper half roared angrily, reaching out to grab.

Shi Feiyang made signs in the air, pointing again, causing the Yin Yang fish eyes to shoot out flames, one black and one white.

The Yin Yang fish was refined from two Secret Demon Divine Shuttles combined. When the Demon Shuttle is activated, it also needs to spin rapidly and be sent into the sky, absorbing the sun, moon, and stars. The higher it goes and faster it spins, the greater the attraction.

Under Shi Feiyang's improvement, they had a unique effect. The two combined and absorbed each other, and when the rotation reached a certain level, the Void Evil Fire inside would separate into one Yang Fire and one Yin Fire. Since it was True Yang born from Yin's end and True Yin born from Yang's end, the power was several times stronger than the original Void Evil Fire.

The Yang Fire shot down, hitting the lower half of the Asura Divine Demon's body, while the Yin Fire shot up, hitting the upper half.

As soon as they made contact, they burned intensely.

The Asura Divine Demon let out a howl of pain and roared in sheer fury.

The six Avatars of Fury were all connected to Xin Ru's life, and as they exploded and burned, Xin Ru felt pain as if her limbs were being severed from herself.

Losing even one of these six Avatars would leave the Six Paths incomplete and reduce their power significantly.

She hastily cast a Spell to extinguish the flames, but she could not do so. Shi Feiyang continued his aggressive attacks, and in the blink of an eye, the Asura Divine Demon Avatar was entirely burned to ashes.

At this moment, Xin Ru attempted to reclaim the Avatar formed by her divided Primordial Spirit after its destruction.

Suddenly, the Eight Diagrams under Li Ning's seat shone brightly, with one Shariputra sparkling, forcibly absorbing and sealing the Primordial Spirit within it.

Xin Ru, in rage and shock, glared at Li Ning and the Tai Chi Bagua Formation. She had thought it could only destroy her Great Ru Pure Land, but never expected it had these capabilities.

Shi Feiyang destroyed one of her Avatars, then advanced the Tai Chi Bagua Formation to deal with the other Avatars.

Xin Ru used the Conch Leaf Talisman and Seven Treasures Golden Banner to fend off the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Circulation Light Disc from the sky, relying on other treasures, but none could counter the Yin Yang Void Evil Fire.

The Secret Demon Divine Shuttle, empowered by the Heavenly Stars, is the most powerful Nuclear Weapon-level Magic Treasure in this world. One can obliterate ten thousand miles around and leave nothing growing for at least a hundred years!

When two are activated together, the resultant power is overwhelming. Xin Ru could not suppress it with any other treasure and instead had her Poison Dragon Pearl burned and refined away by the Yin Yang Void Evil Fire.

Shi Feiyang then revealed the Top Three Flowers, releasing a hundred and eighty thousand Purple and Blue Divine Flames, transforming into a celestial expanse of purple and blue stars, striking towards Xin Ru. As she focused all her strength on dealing with it, he rotated the Tai Chi Bagua Plate above Xin Ru's Human Path Avatar, the Purple Robed Taoist, forcibly absorbing it. During the rotation, the Yin Yang Void Evil Fire enveloped it, instantly refining it to ashes, and this divided Primordial Spirit was also absorbed into the Shariputra.
