Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad - Chapter 480: The Power of Mu Gong, the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm

Although Emperor Donghua is not the former King of the East, his destiny as the Emperor of Heaven no longer exists.

However, the power of the Emperor has not diminished in the slightest. He is still the leader of the Taoist male immortals, dominating the yang and warm energy, and ruling over the three islands and ten continents.

In heaven and on earth, in the three realms and in all directions, any man who achieves immortality must pay homage to Emperor Donghua and be under his jurisdiction.

I still remember that in the early Han Dynasty, there was a song sung by children: "Wearing a green skirt, entering the gate of heaven, bowing to the Golden Mother, and worshipping the Wooden Father."

……

Emperor Donghua, also known as Mu Gong, holds the authority over all the wood spirits in the world and is extremely majestic.

The origin of its name is recorded in ancient scriptures:"Donghua was created by the Emperor with the true energy of Donghua. He governs the East Pole and resides on the top of Donghua. He controls the energy of the Eastern Shaoyang, creates and transforms all things, and blesses all directions."

"The Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Eastern Heavens, commanding all the saints and the master of all living things. His power and virtue are limitless!"

Later, the Jade Emperor came to the throne and the Emperor of Donghua took a back seat, but he was still the leader of the male immortals in Taoism, and his status and prestige were unmatched in Taoism.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person.

It can be said that in the west of the Three Realms, Tathagata Buddha is the most respected.

In the east of the Three Realms, the most respected person is Emperor Donghua.

……

As his poem praises:"The blue sea and the green spirit give rise to purple air, and all the trees pay homage to the Lord of the East!"

"His holy title is the Great Emperor Donghua, the first immortal family member in the mist and clouds!"

The power of Emperor Donghua can be seen from this.

Emperor Donghua looked calm, without the slightest fear in his eyes, as if he regarded the palm strike as a tiny bit of wind.

On his forehead, the "Mugong" divine pattern suddenly appeared, shining brightly.

The Wood Virtue Qi around him surged and gathered into a huge Wood Virtue vortex. In the vortex, the Wood Virtue Qi swirled wildly, as if countless wood spirits were singing and dancing together, celebrating the supreme majesty of the Wood Lord.

"The immortal tree of the ancient times, help me gain power!"

The Xiantian Fusang tree, with its blazing flames, is as powerful as the sun; the Xiantian laurel tree, with its branches and leaves spread out, is cool and clear under the moonlight; the Xiantian Renshui peach tree, with its branches full of fruits, is full of vitality; the ginseng fruit tree, with its twisted branches and numerous fruits; the Xiantian gourd vine, is winding and agile, like a snake...

The phantoms of these primordial spiritual roots all exude an ancient and vast aura, as if they had traveled through the ancient times to participate in this shocking battle!

"The seal of Mu Gong covers the whole world!"

Emperor Donghua let out a low shout and pushed out with one palm. Thousands of wood spiritual roots from the prehistoric world surged out from his palm like surging rivers, mighty and unstoppable.

The innate gourd vine was like a spirit snake coming out of a cave, winding upwards and wrapping around the Tathagata's palm. The vines bound it tightly in an attempt to limit its power.

The Xiantian Renshui Peach Tree stood firmly behind the Emperor, its branches and leaves swaying like a green barrier, providing him with a continuous supply of wood spirit power.

……

"Mugong Cangling Palm" and "Rulai Palm" confront each other head-on.

……

When Emperor Donghua saw this scene, his expression remained unchanged, but he secretly used the supreme secret method in the "Dong Yi Kurong Jing" - the method of "the withering and flourishing of sick trees".

But the shadows of the innate spiritual roots that were entangled with the Tathagata's Palm turned from lush and verdant to withered and decayed in the blink of an eye.

The "sick wood energy" spreads like a plague, wreaking havoc without restraint, triggering the dual terrifying power of "vitality extraction and decay and collapse", mercilessly corroding the Tathagata's Palm.

Above the palm print, the Buddha's light is mottled, just like an ancient painting that has been ruthlessly eroded by time, crumbling and in danger.

But in a blink of an eye.

The Tathagata Palm was actually corroded by the power of the sick wood and was riddled with holes. Cracks appeared on the edge of the palm print, and the golden light became dim, as if it would completely dissipate in this fight at any time.

However, is the Buddha Tathagata no ordinary person?

I saw that the Tathagata's palm was revived under the blessing of the mantra, and it shook off the power of the sick wood, as if it was "reborn from Nirvana", and it once again radiated bright golden light, and its Buddha's power was even greater than before.

Subsequently.

The Tathagata Buddha performed another magical trick - the "Golden Summit Buddha Lamp".

I saw golden Buddha lamps emerging from the void, the flames swaying gracefully, emitting hot and pure Buddha fire, gradually burning away the surrounding wood virtue energy.

The Buddha's light contained endless compassion and majesty, which made the wood virtue power of Emperor Donghua seem to be suppressed under the illumination of this Buddha's light, as if all living things were bowing down to him under the protection of the Buddha's light.

Buddha Tathagata took advantage of this momentum and slapped out with his palm.

For a while.

Wherever the palm print of Tathagata's Palm reached, the innate hibiscus tree, the innate laurel tree... were all crushed and turned into points of light that dissipated in the air.

All things in the world experience birth and death, prosperity and decline, in a cycle that repeats itself, each following its own path.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Donghua was not afraid. Instead, he used the method of "reviving a dead tree into spring" to counter the supreme majesty of the Buddha with the vitality of the wood.

Wood represents vitality, this is true.

In an instant.

The tender green branches and leaves grow out again, and each leaf sparkles with crystal light and is full of vitality.

The innate laurel tree, the innate Renshui peach tree, the ginseng fruit tree, the innate fusang tree... countless prehistoric innate wood spiritual roots all responded to the call of Emperor Donghua and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Tathagata Palm.

The power of the green wood spirit was like surging waves, one after another, attacking the golden Buddha light, trying to devour it.

For a moment, the golden Buddha light and the green wood spirit light intertwined and entangled, the light was dazzling, the air waves rolled, and the sky and the earth changed color.

When Tathagata Buddha saw that Emperor Donghua was resisting with strange methods, his expression remained solemn and compassionate. He slowly formed seals with his hands, and the Buddha's power around his body suddenly surged wildly like a surging tide.

For a moment, the world was turned upside down, the sun and the moon lost their luster, and the mountains and rivers shook violently.

The entire world was trembling under the pull of this vast Buddhist power, as if a doomsday catastrophe was about to befall.

Everything in heaven and on earth, in all the worlds, was affected, and all living beings felt terrified.

The mountains and rivers seemed to come to life and began to move and change in a thrilling manner.

Mount Xumi, Mount Wutai, Mount Emei, Mount Putuo, Mount Jiuhua... one mountain after another rises from the ground and stands majestically.

Tongtian River, Liusha River, Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huai River... the big rivers are rushing endlessly and majestically.

These mountains and rivers will eventually be like rivers flowing into the sea, and will be drawn into the broad and boundless palm of Tathagata Buddha and transformed into his supreme power.

I saw the overwhelming invisible force, carrying the heavy weight of the mountains and rivers, crushing towards Emperor Donghua.

Wherever the Tathagata Palm passed, space was distorted. This was the Tathagata Palm - "Buddha Moves Mountains and Rivers"!This palm strike, seemingly light and ordinary, actually contains a lot of hidden power, and contains the majestic weight of the mountains and rivers in the sky. It is an unparalleled magical skill that can break all laws with one force.

As the saying goes:"No matter how subtle your Taoism is, I can control the universe with my own strength!"

The Buddha vowed to completely suppress Emperor Donghua in order to demonstrate the supreme majesty of Buddhism.

"All the heavens and worlds are conceived from this, I will transform all the heavens with the blue lotus!"

When Emperor Donghua saw the Tathagata Palm coming at him with the power to collapse the sky and split the earth, a thirty-sixth-grade Chaos Green Lotus suddenly blossomed under his feet.

The petals of the Chaos Green Lotus spread out layer by layer, and each lotus leaf is like a giant shield, indestructible, and contains a small chaotic world inside.

The lotus leaf flickered with a chaotic aura, containing the innate Yi Wood Law that Pangu created when he created the world. The power of the laws were intertwined like silk threads, forming an indestructible line of defense.

The Chaos Lotus petals sway gently, containing the original power of the beginning of Chaos.

In an instant.

"Boom!"

“Boom!

Within the void, the phantom images of mountains and rivers and the chaotic small world clashed with each other, collapsed and reunited, with a deafening roar, as if it were a sign of the collapse of heaven and earth.

The vast energy fluctuations, like a strong wind and heavy rain, spread in all directions.

Wherever it passed, stars fell like meteors, crashing to the earth.

……

Now, Emperor Donghua and Buddha Tathagata are fighting, and the heaven is shaking violently. Fire bricks, blue tiles, alchemy furnaces, cushions and other objects are falling like raindrops.

Such changes have rewritten so much of the landforms of the Lower Realm, causing the mountains and rivers to change their appearance and the seas to undergo tremendous changes.

……

At this moment.

A thrilling contest unfolded in this chaotic world.

The power of Tathagata Buddha is like a surging river, endless and full of infinite compassion and majesty.

The wood spirit power of Emperor Donghua is like a lush forest, full of vitality and infinite. It contains an unyielding will and tenacious vitality, as solid as a rock and as tough as a reed.

at the same time.

In the vortex, the energy of wood virtue spun and condensed wildly, and then turned into extremely sharp Oriental Yi Wood swords.

The sword light was sharp and cold, and it shot towards the Buddha like a torrential rain, unstoppable.

Each sword contains the sharpness and vitality of Eastern Yi Wood, and seems to be able to penetrate everything.

This is the "Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Stars Sword Formation" formed by Emperor Donghua activating the innate wood virtue and gathering the spiritual energy of the Eastern Yi wood.

The rest of the sword shadows surrounded him, transforming into a sky full of sword light, piercing through the clouds of thirty-three days and piercing straight into the center of the Buddha's brow.

Wherever the sword light passed, the stars dissipated and turned into dust.

When Tathagata Buddha saw this scene, he looked calm and composed, not alarmed. His moves suddenly changed, and he displayed the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Buddha" of Tathagata's Palm!What is "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Buddha"?

It is:

The last move of the Tathagata Palm is "Ten thousand Buddhas pay homage to the Tathagata, and the Tathagata destroys the devil!"

But the Buddha's light around Tathagata Buddha became brighter and brighter again, shining brightly and reaching into the sky.

In the void behind him, countless figures of Buddhas slowly emerged.

There is the past Buddha Dipankara, who is profound in wisdom; there is the future Buddha Maitreya, who is smiling; there is Avalokitesvara, who holds a pure bottle and a willow tree, and is compassionate and sympathetic to the suffering of all living beings; there is Manjusri, who is extremely wise and holds a sword of wisdom, which can cut off all troubles and ignorance in the world; there are also the Eighteen Arhats, each with their own magical powers, some with angry eyes, some with solemn appearances, majestic and extraordinary momentum...

These Buddhas were either sitting cross-legged on lotus pedestals, or standing proudly, or reciting scriptures, or meditating with their eyes closed. They all exuded a solemn and compassionate aura, as if all the Buddhas from the Western Paradise had descended here to work together to subdue Emperor Donghua.

For a while.

Countless golden Buddha palms surged out from the Buddha's hands, covering the sky like a golden meteor shower, carrying the majestic and vast Buddha power, and collided fiercely with the Eastern Blue Dragon Seven Stars Sword Formation.

The golden Buddha's palm and the green sword light intertwined with each other, making a series of metal collision-like sounds and sparks flying.

The wooden swords were smashed apart by the golden Buddha's palm, turning into green light and disappearing into nothingness.

However, new wooden swords continued to emerge from the sword formation and continued to attack the Buddha like locusts, without retreating.

The confrontation between the Eastern Taoist Emperor and the Western Lingshan Buddha is becoming more and more intense.

A few moves were exchanged, and it was over in a flash.

He used a move called "The Buddha from Heaven has descended to the world, and the Buddha's Dharma is boundless."

In an instant, the body of Tathagata Buddha expanded rapidly and became extremely huge in an instant, reaching the top of the thirty-three heavens, causing the clouds to tremble; reaching the bottom of the eighteen layers of hell, causing the underworld to panic, as if he was a giant Buddha who stood upright, eternal and emitting golden light.

At the same time, the magical power of Buddha Tathagata also skyrocketed.

"Emperor, the sea of ​​suffering is endless, it is better to turn back."

The Buddha's power was like a surging, boundless ocean, rushing towards Emperor Donghua's "Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Stars Sword Formation" with an overwhelming force.

Exactly: "The Buddha's teachings are boundless!"

The Buddha's power was boundless. Wherever it went, the sword of Mude was shattered and turned into dust, which dissipated between heaven and earth.

The light of the sword formation also dimmed a little, no longer as sharp as before.

At the same time, the eyes of Tathagata Buddha shone brightly, like two blazing Buddha suns. The Buddha light around him was even brighter than before, illuminating the entire chaotic world with golden light.

The Tathagata Buddha formed seals with his hands and suddenly threw out his magic weapon, the "Golden Bowl". He looked at Emperor Donghua with a compassionate look on his face and said with a smile:

"Amitabha, Emperor, I see that you and my Buddha have a connection."

"You have practiced for countless years, but you are still caught up in this conflict. Why don't you go to my Western Paradise and become a Donghua Bodhisattva?"

As he spoke, the golden bowl quickly enlarged in the void, like a towering golden mountain, covering the sky and blocking the sun, and bringing with it a strong sense of oppression.

Immediately afterwards, the golden bowl transformed into a peaceful pure land of the Western Paradise.

The Western Pure Land is a place where reality and illusion coexist, with palaces and pavilions arranged in an orderly manner and magnificent.

Thousands of Buddhist soldiers gathered together, wearing golden robes, holding magical instruments, and looking majestic.

It is exactly – “Buddha’s Kingdom in the Palm”!The Buddha's kingdom appeared in the palm of his hand, as if to forcibly drag Emperor Donghua into this small world of Western Paradise, allowing him to let go of his obsession and convert to Buddhism.
