Legend of the Great Sage

d, she was going to die.

“Don’t cry, senior sister!” Li Qingshan wiped away her tears for her and said proudly, “We still haven’t lost this battle!”

A bloody path paved from sacrifices spanned from the battlefield right beneath to Black Cloud city, leading into the Demon domain in the distance.

The Upraised Light abbot currently stood on the path with all the disciples of the Pure Land sect.
The battle cries from the battlefield were deafening like it was right beside them, and it was impossible to ignore “Taowu’s” colossal figure too.

He glanced over in worry before sitting down on the spot and placing down his wooden fish.
The disciples all sat around him, beginning to chant.

Rings of golden light unfurled as they began to purify this land.

Their mission was to intercept this path of sacrifice, and the battlefield would no longer belong to the Demon domain.
The Demon Sovereigns would lose their geographic advantage, and the situation would change drastically or even be reversed.

However, this was nowhere near that simple.
The war had already gone on for far, far too long.
Both sides were more than familiar with the tactics that they could use.
How could the demonfolk not prepare a countermeasure for such an obvious opening?

Before the purifying light could shine for very long, a demonfolk army completely composed of cavalry arrived boldly.
There were ten thousand of them, all riding vicious demonic beasts, charging towards the Upraised Light abbot under a Demon King’s lead.

The Demon King swung his halberd, and the monster condensed from army qi lunged over.
“Die, bald ass!”

From above, the group of several hundred monks basically seemed like a futile effort to stop ten thousand demonfolk cavalry.

The Upraised Light abbot became solemn and struck the wooden fish violently.
He paused after each strike, stressing each word, “Na- Mo- A- Mi- Tā- Bha!”

A great buddha of golden light rose up behind him, shining with a halo.

With each word he uttered and each striking of the wooden fish, the monster of army qi sustained heavy damage.
After the six words, it immediately collapsed.

The frenzied demonfolk became confused as pain and regret filled them.
They clutched their heads and cast aside their weapons.
The demonic beasts directly collapsed on the ground and began whimpering.
The Demon King swayed around as well, like he was drunk.

The great buddha gently picked up the Demon King like plucking a flower, crushing him to pieces.

The monks cheered.
Even when they were in the Demon domain, the Upraised Light abbot did not fear these armies that were not led by Demon Sovereigns.
Demon Emperors could still pose some threat, but Demon Kings were basically just coming here to die.
However, he became even sterner than before.

A second demonfolk army followed close behind, also led by a Demon King with only ten thousand demonfolk.
They ushered the previous demonfolk forward, killing them immediately if they refused to move.

The demonfolk rushed over chaotically.
In order to protect the abbot, the warrior monks were forced to kill, and the demonic land that had just been purified slightly was corrupted again.

The great buddha killed the second Demon King, and the demonfolk army began to halt and waver again when the third army arrived, swallowing the monks led by the Upraised Light abbot.

They posed no threat, but with just three measly Demon Kings and thirty thousand demonfolk, they had completely disrupted the Upraised Light abbot’s plan, keeping a monk who had attained two fruits of buddhism busy.

At this moment, he also saw how the Xuanwu Army God and Scorching Fire Army God had been defeated one after another by “Taowu” in the distance.
Meanwhile, they were still stuck in the demonfolk army, unable to break free no matter what they did.

“Abbot, what do we do?”

We are Hosted Nov3l, find us on g00gle.

The Upraised Light abbot sighed.
Watching as the demonfolk surged over, all sinking into the wicked path with their stubbornness, he felt anger rise up within him.
He spat out the six-worded mantra, “Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ!”

A wrathful expresion flashed across the buddha’s face, and it transformed angrily.
The golden clothes receded, rippling with muscle as its skin darkened.
Like a fiend, its expression became terrifying and vicious, even more than the demonfolk.
Wielding a golden sword with the flames of karma burning behind it, it unleashed its great fury, transforming into a wisdom king.

With a leap, it entered the demonfolk army, kicking off a massacre!

It annihilated all demons, killing them until blood flowed and corpses covered the ground, but it still did not stop.

With the wisdom king paving a path, the Upraised Light abbot stood up and approached the battlefield.
“Follow me to rebirth in paradise!”

The monks brought their palms together and said, “Rebirth in paradise, returning to the pure land forever.”

The Upraised Light abbot’s ear twitched.
He heard the strange sound of a bell, piercing the noisy battlefield like a silver thread.

Wisps of pale-white flames spread over from the direction of the Demon domain.
As soon as it made contact with the demonfolk corpses, it was like fire encountering oil, burning away even more vigorously.
Even the “sacrifices” buried in the ground and the demonic blood that seeped into the ground were set alight.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a great fire, burning towards the demonfolk.

They were incinerated in the flames.
There was no pain on their faces, and they instead smiled away in joy and peace.
It was an extremely eerie sight, like the ones going to paradise were not the monks but them.

In the raging flames, the Upraised Light abbot widened his eyes in disbelief.
“The Samādhi Flames of White Bone!” Perhaps because he had been illuminated by the fire, he was pale in the face.

“The White Bone Bodhisattva?”
