Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad - Chapter 478: Tathagata Buddha vs. Emperor Donghua

skyline.

At this moment, the wind and clouds were changing, and the sky seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Donghua had led the anti-heaven army and was approaching like a surging tide.

The Nantianmen area was already in chaos.

"Nantianmen..."

Emperor Donghua opened his eyes wide with anger, shouted loudly, and swung the Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand down fiercely.

In an instant.

A sword energy with great momentum, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, cut through the sky and instantly smashed the South Heaven Gate into pieces.

Large rocks flew out like meteors, and dust and smoke filled the sky, blocking out the sun.

The South Gate of Heaven is broken!"My lords, follow me and crush the southern sky, and strike straight into the spiritual sky, to seek freedom and ease, only now!"

Emperor Donghua raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly.

Subsequently.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Defy fate and change destiny, and live a carefree life!"

……

Wherever the sword flashed, blood splattered and screams were heard, as if it were purgatory.

Wherever the anti-heaven army went, the immortal energy was in chaos and the place was in ruins.

The originally solemn and majestic Heavenly Palace was now in ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, like an abandoned ruin.

For a while.

Those four heavenly kings used to guard the gate of heaven with all their majesty, but now they are nowhere to be seen, and no one knows where they have hidden themselves.

The gods on the Investiture of the Gods had different reactions.

Perhaps they were frightened by the power of Emperor Donghua; perhaps they were afraid of death and did not want to take risks; or perhaps they had other thoughts and each had their own calculations...

In short, at this critical moment, all the gods on the List of Gods chose to escape.

For a while.

Emperor Donghua was like a whirlwind in an empty space, and his momentum was unstoppable. Wherever he passed, the immortal soldiers and generals were defeated, and the battle went all the way to the Tongming Palace and outside the Lingxiao Palace.

At this moment, there was deathly silence outside the Tongming Palace, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The bodies of the heavenly soldiers and generals were lying all over the ground, some with their heads and bodies separated, some with broken limbs, and their blood dyed the ground red.

Wang Lingguan's head was hung high above the flag of Emperor Donghua as a sacrifice.

Above the Lingxiao Palace.

The atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

The Curtain-Rolling General is the last line of defense for the Jade Emperor. At this moment, he is holding the Demon-Subduing Staff and guarding the Jade Emperor.General Juanlian looked around with a firm gaze and vigilant attention. The immortal power in his body was surging faintly, and he was ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

On weekdays, they are mainly responsible for giving advice to the Jade Emperor and handling the civil affairs of the Heavenly Palace. Although they also possess magical powers, they are not good at fighting.

At this moment, their faces were solemn, and although their hearts were as nervous as a taut string, they still pretended to be calm and provided spiritual support to the Jade Emperor.

However, their slightly trembling hands betrayed the fear in their hearts.

After all, in this cruel power struggle, a new emperor appoints new ministers.

The Jade Emperor sat upright on the Lingxiao Palace, his face as gloomy as water, like a bottomless cold pond.

"Taibai Jinxing went to the West to ask Tathagata Buddha to protect him."

Zhang Tianshi pretended to be calm, but his voice was trembling slightly as he consoled her:

"According to the time, the Buddha from the West will be here soon."

at this time.

The golden-haired pug raised by the Jade Emperor heard the noisy sound outside the palace and rushed out from the Tongming Palace like a golden lightning.

This golden pug has fluffy and soft fur all over its body, just like a golden cloud. Its round eyes are lively and bright, revealing a clever and playful look.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

……

The golden-haired pug stared at Emperor Donghua, opened its mouth and bared its teeth, and the sound of barking continued in the ears. Although the sound was not loud, it was full of anger and warning.

Although this golden-haired pug did not have the powerful magical powers to move mountains and fill the sea, or call the wind and rain, it resolutely stood before the Jade Emperor at this critical moment of life and death.

It seemed as if its small body could protect its master from the powerful enemy that was attacking like a surging tide.

At certain critical moments, dogs are more reliable than humans.

Even a dog knows that when it eats the food provided by the king, it should be loyal to the king.

At the critical moment, you should support Yulong and die for him.

Compared with the famous and powerful Roaring Sky Dog, a fierce divine dog that can chase the wind and the moon, subdue demons and exorcise monsters, and make demons and monsters tremble in fear; and the guardian beast of Buddhism, Di Ting, a spiritual beast that can see through the good and evil in the world and distinguish right from wrong, the ability of this golden pug in front of him is really insignificant and extremely mediocre.

As a watchdog that has followed the Jade Emperor since he was on earth, this golden-haired pug has always been following him and is naturally loyal to him. He never backs down even when facing such a powerful enemy.

At this moment.

Although its small body was trembling slightly, it still stood stubbornly in front, guarding the unwavering loyalty in its heart in its own way.

The golden-haired pug's eyes reveal a fearless courage, as if to say:"You traitor, don't even think about harming my master!"

Emperor Donghua raised the Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand lightly, and the sword light flashed by, as fast as lightning.

With a "puff", the golden pug's head fell off, and blood splattered out like a fountain.

Those eyes, which were originally bright and lively, suddenly lost their luster, leaving only silence and emptiness.

The dog's barking stopped abruptly, and the area outside the Tongming Palace instantly fell into dead silence, with only the strong smell of blood filling the air.

"Donor, why do you want to kill and lose your compassionate heart?"

This Buddhist sound was like the sound of a huge bell, deafening, as if it had the power to pierce through clouds and split rocks, shaking people's minds and hearts. In a trance, it seemed as if the soul was being cleansed by this grand sound. Then, in the void.

A dazzling, auspicious, ninth-grade golden lotus of merit slowly blooms.

The golden lotus shone brilliantly, and each petal seemed to contain endless Buddhist mysteries, exuding a mysterious and peaceful aura. It was the treasure of Buddhism - the "Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus."

The place that was originally filled with death and fear was instantly shrouded in this peaceful Buddha light, adding a bit of tranquility and peace.

In front of the horrible corpse of the golden-haired pug, Tathagata Buddha appeared, a trace of compassion flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly and said:

“This is also a life.”

Monks are compassionate, and the Buddha’s heart is even more vast and compassionate.

What's more, Buddhism says: "All living beings are equal." Whether it is a human life or a dog's life, at the level of life, they are equal existences and deserve respect and compassion.

The Buddha waved his hand and took out some green lotus roots and lotus leaves.

The Tathagata Buddha was seen with "green lotus roots as bones and lotus leaves as clothes", his hands forming mysterious seals and chanting the "mantra for resurrection from the dead".

The mantra for bringing the dead back to life is like the lingering sound of Sanskrit, as if it came from ancient times. It contains endless magical power of Buddhism, which can penetrate the boundary between life and death and reverse the cycle of yin and yang.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged like a tide, and wherever the Buddha's light shone, the scattered body of the golden pug began to slowly gather together, and the dog's head and body seemed to be pulled together again by an invisible force.

I saw a flash of light on its body, and its original golden fur gradually faded away, and it turned into a bluish-white "lotus root dog".

This "lotus root dog" not only came back to life, but also radiated a faint Buddha light all over its body. It was very spiritual, and there was still a trace of fear in its eyes after surviving a disaster.

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

When the Buddha saw that the golden pug had come back to life, he clasped his hands together and showed a compassionate look on his face. That compassionate face was like a spring breeze, which made people feel awe.

He is truly worthy of being the compassionate Buddha.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

At this moment, outside the Lingxiao Palace, the clouds and mist were rolling like turbulent waves. The heavenly soldiers had already scattered like frightened birds, fleeing in all directions, leaving behind only a devastated scene. The broken walls were covered with blood and debris.

Emperor Donghua and Buddha Tathagata faced each other.

Emperor Donghua holds a "dragon head cane" in his hand, with an upright posture, silver hair like snow, but a face as clear as that of a teenager. Purple air lingers around him, and he is filled with murderous intent, like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath.

The Tathagata Buddha sits on the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit, his "six-foot-tall golden body" is majestic and solemn, and the Buddha's light shines in all directions like a vast ocean, like an unshakable mountain of the Buddhist kingdom, emitting endless peaceful light.

……

"Why did this little boy Tathagata suddenly appear here?"

In the void, above the black lotus of the primordial spirit, Demon Ancestor Wutan was shocked when he saw this situation.

He is none other than the "Demon Ancestor Wutian", the incarnation of the inner demon of Tathagata Buddha. At this moment, it is still in the development stage, only the form of the primordial spirit, and the physical body has not yet condensed.

But right now, the time is not right and he is not strong enough.

He knew very well that if he did not escape now, his life would be in danger when Buddha Tathagata came to help.

So, Demon Ancestor Wutan took advantage of the chaos and quietly used his magical powers to escape into the depths of the void and retreat.

Only a trace of demonic energy lingered there.

"magic……"

Buddha Tathagata seemed to sense something and glanced slightly in the direction where Wu Tian escaped.

However, at this moment, the matter of Emperor Donghua was obviously more urgent.

The Buddha withdrew his gaze and refocused on Emperor Donghua, and the Buddha's light around him became brighter and brighter.

In the brilliant Buddha light, Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together, lowered his eyes and sighed:

"The Emperor once controlled the yin and yang of the three realms and understood the will of heaven. Why would he go against heaven and fall into the mire?"

"You must know: the mind is originally pure, but if you move your mind with a single thought, you will fall into the dust of calamity."

"It's not too late for the Emperor to turn back now."

Emperor Donghua looked up and saw Tathagata Buddha suddenly appearing in front of Tongming Palace. He knew in his heart that this Tathagata Buddha must be the reinforcement sent by the Jade Emperor.

The predecessor of Tathagata Buddha was Duobao Taoist, who was a disciple of the leader of the Jiejiao Sect. Later, he defected to the Two Saints of the West and became the leader of the West.

But now, Tathagata Buddha is the helmsman of Lingshan in the West.

"Duobao."

"You used to be the eldest senior brother of Jiejiao. Now, most of the gods on this list of gods are your disciples of Jiejiao."

"What a pity that they are all trapped on the Conferred God List, unable to enjoy the freedom of the immortal path."

"How about you and I join forces to rescue them from the Conferred God List?"

"Amitabha……"

"All phenomena are like dreams and bubbles, which are fleeting. Past fantasies are not what we really want, but just a false obsession."

After saying this, the Buddha's light suddenly shone brightly on the Tathagata Buddha, shining like the sun in the sky, illuminating the world with peace. He clasped his hands together, looking solemn, and slowly spoke:

"Now, I have long since left the world of mortals. There is no more Taoist Duobao in the world, only the Tathagata Buddha in the West."

Jiejiao, Duobao Taoist, can you go back?Can not go back.

What he is sitting on now is the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit" of Buddhism, not the "Wind and Fire Cushion" of Taoism.

Naturally, the interests of Buddhism come first in everything.

Besides, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a soldier who doesn’t want to be the leader’s first disciple is not a good first disciple.

Who among those with great ambitions doesn’t want to go further?A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?

Be the first disciple or the leader?As the first disciple, one must respect the master in everything and be cautious; as the leader, one can control the fortune of the sect and live freely.

Is this a hard choice?Enjoying the good fortune of a religion, the path of cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds. Who can refuse such a temptation?As a human being, you always have to look forward.

He is now the leader of the Western Religion, so why should he retreat and become an inferior to others to become the chief disciple of the Jie Religion?Generally, poor people, who are penniless, hungry and poorly clothed, will think of rebelling against heaven, revolting to change their fate, and raise their arms and shout:

"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"

However, if they are already an extremely wealthy family, why would they rebel or sell their heads instead of enjoying their wealth and splendor?As for Tathagata, he is now the most wealthy and powerful family in the Three Realms, enjoying endless honor and power. Isn't it extremely foolish for him to engage in rebellion and sell his head?The risks and benefits are totally disproportionate.
