In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

This palm strike utterly terrified the three demons, including the Golden-Winged Roc, who never expected Tathagata's power to be so terrifying.

They had no doubt that the Buddha's palm could destroy Lion Camel Ridge.

Chapter 160 Kui Niu Beats the Drum, Breaking the Xuan Yin Formation

The clutches of the underworld!

As the mighty Buddha's palm descended, a voice, seemingly emanating from the depths of hell, transformed into endless resentment and malevolent energy... Within Lion Camel Ridge, a similar hand, composed of countless skulls, slowly lifted up its immense demonic power to meet the Buddha's palm.

The hand formed by countless skulls vaguely depicts countless humans being skinned, dismembered, fried, and cooked.

This scene also turned the faces of all the gods and Buddhas pale.

Even Buddha frowned, not expecting the three demons to commit such atrocities in the mortal realm. No wonder Chonglou plotted against Buddhism.

Given this cause and effect, it is perfectly justifiable for Chonglou to plot against Buddhism.

After all, they are from the orthodox Xuanmen sect, and the cultivators who ascended from the lower realm are pure human beings.

boom!

The moment the Buddha's palm clashed with the Demon's palm was like a shockwave from the Big Bang, sweeping across the entire Three Realms.

From the heavens above to the underworld below, ghosts wailed and gods howled, and all living beings suffered a great calamity.

This power, capable of destroying heaven and earth, not only brought unprecedented calamity to the four continents, but also spread endless malevolent energy throughout the four continents with the shockwave.

In the darkness, a mysterious and profound power of heaven and earth stabilized the turbulent Three Realms.

However, the consequences it triggered were not as easy to quell as a storm.

For a moment, all the gods and demons looked westward and couldn't help but show a mocking expression. They never expected that Buddhism would suffer such a big setback this time.

The attempt to establish authority with a single palm strike failed, instead completely precipitating a cataclysmic calamity in the Heavenly Dao, involving beings like the Dragon and Phoenix, the Lich King and the Jie Clan...

A catastrophe befell all living beings; even immortals and Buddhas could not escape it.

The karmic connection between Chonglou and Buddhism has become a calamity in the Heavenly Dao, and the two will inevitably clash in the future, namely, the battle between gods (Buddhas) and demons.

This battle is not about individuals, but about the rise of Tao and the decline of Demon, and the rise of Demon and the decline of Tao.

"Venerable Tathagata, you have passed!"

A voice came from inside Lion Camel Ridge; it was Chonglou.

Just now, the Buddha's angry palm strike was powerful enough to shatter the earth. If it had landed, the Western Continent of Hezhou would have been torn to pieces.

That's power that surpasses even the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

"Namo Amitabha!"

Hearing Chonglou's almost gloating rebuke, Tathagata couldn't help but chant Buddhist scriptures to suppress his own anger.

Since Chonglou plotted against Buddhism and set up the Dutian Xuanyin Grand Array, Tathagata had accumulated a certain amount of anger.

The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, three Buddhas of the Golden Immortal level, and then hundreds of Arhats, Vajras, and Bhikkhunis suffered successive losses. Even the kind-hearted Buddha was furious.

"Your Excellency has a clever plan!"

Tathagata looked towards the core of the formation deep within Lion Camel Ridge. This time, regardless of whether his Buddhist sect won or lost, it was a loss.

In the future, Chonglou will surely become a formidable enemy, not to mention that Chonglou is merely one of the three incarnations of Chunyangzi Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Excellent!"

The confrontation between gods and demons fell silent once again. At the same time, the gods and Buddhas realized that this calamity was not simple, and that even the three demons in front of them were not the final boss.

Time flowed slowly. Within the Xuan Yin Grand Array, the nine demons nurtured using the Gu-raising method each possessed ferocious faces and terrifying forms. Some had tiger heads and dragon tails, covered in scales; others had tortoise shells and bone spikes, dragon heads and terrifying claws; still others had nine heads and nine tails, with a thousand legs and hundreds of blades...

The ferocious and terrifying demon possesses at least the aura of a top-tier demon king.

Not to mention the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, even the gods and demons of the heavens, looking at the demons in the Xuan Yin Formation who were even more powerful and domineering than Chi You's eighty-one brothers back then, couldn't help but sigh at how ruthless Chonglou was.

Of the fifty thousand demons, only these nine remained; the flesh and blood of the others became nourishment for them.

This method is not only domineering but also clever; in the end, it is always the Westerners who die.

"Buddha, Buddha, Buddha..."

At this moment, Pigsy came panting from the east, carrying a large drum on his shoulders, his face full of excitement.

The seemingly ordinary, even somewhat primitive, drum is the Kui Niu Drum.

Pigsy never expected that his journey to West Kunlun would be so smooth. Upon arriving at the Jade Pool Scenic Area, he met the legendary Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and obtained the legendary Kui Niu Drum.

The journey to the west was the foundation for the great prosperity of the Heavenly Way and Buddhism.

Therefore, when Pigsy came to Kunlun for help, the Queen Mother of the West was not one to defy the heavens, and naturally granted his request.

Moreover, Chonglou set up this formation simply to seek justice for the human race.

At this point, Chonglou's goal had been achieved. It should be noted that even if the Kui Niu Drum broke the formation and the twelve demons were greatly weakened, there would still be at least three top-level demons and nine first-class demon kings, enough to fight against Buddhism.

"Namo Amitabha!"

Upon seeing the Kui Niu Drum that Pigsy had brought, all the Buddhas were overjoyed.

The Xuan Yin Grand Formation has finally been broken, and we can finally avenge our previous humiliation.

But when Tathagata looked at the nine demons who had already evolved, he realized that the bloody battle had only just begun.

Boom!

After setting up the Kui Niu Drum, Zhu Bajie immediately used all his strength to swing the Thunder Hammer and strike the drum.

In an instant, a thunderous roar, like a bolt from the blue, resounded throughout the three realms.

Boom! Boom...

As the drums thundered, lightning flashed and thunder roared over the area within a thousand miles, enveloping the sky above Lion Camel Ridge.

Within the Xuan Yin Grand Formation, amidst the supreme Yang thunder of the Kui Niu Drum, the Xuan Yin evil energy seemed to have encountered its nemesis. With each successive drumbeat, the domineering and fierce power of heavenly thunder condensed above Lion Camel Ridge, and the evil energy slowly dissipated into the world.

The Kui Niu Drum counters the Xuan Yin Grand Array through a natural supernatural power, using sound to defeat the enemy.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Thunder God also be able to break the Profound Yin Formation?

However, Chonglou didn't care about this at all.

　937 He was neither Chi You nor a demon, so the rolling thunder had no power to restrain him; at most, it only dispersed the bloodlust on the array flags.

Instead, Chonglou looked at the Kui Niu drum that Zhu Bajie was beating and threw out his divine halberd.

Although Chonglou disdained the Kui Niu Drum, the twelve demons had absorbed the Xuan Yin Sha Qi, and if the Kui Niu Drum continued to be played, it would inevitably affect the strength of the twelve demons.

Even now, apart from the Golden-Winged Roc, the Azure Lion and the White Elephant have fallen from their pedestals and returned to their strength as top-tier demon kings.

The nine great demons were the most affected. Their newly increased strength, before they could even wreak havoc, was once again halved, leaving them with less than the strength of a first-rate demon king.

Even so, this is still an extremely difficult opponent.

Bang!

The golden light burst forth, but the Buddhas were only concerned with the situation of the demons within the Xuan Yin Grand Array. By the time they saw the golden light pierce through the Kui Niu Drum, it was already too late.

Pigsy caught a glimpse of the golden light bursting forth. It was so fast that before he could react, the Kui Niu Drum exploded. He was also thrown several miles away by the shockwave of the explosion, staring in disbelief at the shattered and destroyed Kui Niu Drum.

This was a priceless treasure he had borrowed, and it was even borrowed from the Jade Pool Goddess. How could he just destroy it like this?

Just as Pigsy was feeling frustrated, a figure in golden armor, wielding a golden halberd, slowly walked out of Lion Camel Ridge.

Chapter 1061 The War Between Gods and Demons: The Divine Halberd Pierces the Golden Body

Jade Warrior God!

As the golden-armored war god emerged, all the gods and Buddhas of the heavens wore solemn expressions.

At this point, the Jade Frontier War God at the peak of the sixth level might not be worth the fear of those innate gods and demons, but once Chonglou steps into the seventh level, he will not be weak among the innate gods and demons.

Moreover, since the Great Tribulation is centered around Chonglou, the future potential of Chonglou is self-evident.

"Chonglou has met the Buddha."

"Venerable Chonglou!"

Face to face, even Buddha couldn't help but sigh in admiration, for Chonglou's aura was in no way inferior to that of the ancient great witch.

Moreover, Chonglou possesses the body of an ancient god and demon, making him most suitable for cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. Therefore, the enhancement effect of the profound technique is in no way inferior to the enhancement effect of the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc and the Six-Eared Macaque by the body of an ancient demon god.

The pupils of Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas also contracted.

This was also their first time seeing Chonglou, and even with their strength at the Great Luo realm, they still felt extremely threatened by him.

You should know that they were ancient immortals who attained enlightenment.

His magical power was profound, and his Taoist cultivation was superb; in terms of realm, he was no less than the great celestial beings of the heavens.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, we have met the Venerable One!"

This is out of respect for the strong, especially since Chonglou's identity is not that of an ordinary god.

"Chonglou greets the two Bodhisattvas!"

The harmonious atmosphere led the owners to believe it was a misunderstanding.

But none of the Buddhas in the heavens dared to be careless, for they knew that the great battle had only just begun and could erupt at any moment.

"The Venerable One is here, but where is Wukong?"

"Sun Wukong?"

Upon hearing Manjushri's question, Chonglou raised his hand, and a five-colored ray of light shone down on the body of the Golden-Winged Roc, illuminating the heavens.

Immediately, a crimson-gold rainbow light landed in Chonglou's hand; it was the Crimson-Gold Treasure Gourd.

At this moment, Chonglou pulled out the bottle stopper, and as the gourd shone with golden light, figures were thrown out of the gourd one after another.

Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, the White Dragon Horse, and hundreds of lesser demons

After coming out, Sun Wukong immediately wanted to get angry, but then he realized that the atmosphere was not right.

The opposing side is comprised of numerous powerful figures, including Buddha, Jade Emperor, Manjushri and Samantabhadra, and the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge...

Immediately, Sun Wukong noticed Tang Sanzang, who was sitting cross-legged chanting scriptures and praying devoutly, under the protection of the Four Duty Officers, the Five Directions Protectors, the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Eighteen Garan.

"Master!"

Sun Wukong, accompanied by Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon, arrived at Tang Sanzang's place, his face showing surprise and delight.

"Wukong? Bajie? Wujing? White Dragon Horse?"

When Tang Sanzang saw his four disciples return, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, still thinking that Sun Wukong and the others had been killed.

After all, this demon was too powerful. Even the Buddha's attack was blocked, and hundreds of Buddhas, Arhats, and Vajras suffered. It was extremely ferocious.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Thanks to the Bodhisattva's intervention, I was spared from disaster."

"Wukong, how are you all?"

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong and the others, who were all unharmed, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Master, rest assured, my junior brother Sha, the white dragon, and I were all taken into the gourd by the monster's treasure, and nothing else happened."

The Jade Frontier War God just released us, so the treasure must belong to him. I just don't know what the situation is like now. I never expected this monster to be related to the Jade Frontier War God.

"Brother Monkey, you don't know how dangerous it was on Lion Camel Ridge just now."

"If it weren't for me, Old Pig, borrowing the Kui Niu Drum from Kunlun Mountain and breaking their Xuan Yin Grand Formation, even the Buddha himself would be useless. Right now, we're in a stalemate, a great battle is imminent: the Jade Emperor is facing the Buddha, the three great demons are facing Manjushri Bodhisattva and two other Bodhisattvas, and a group of demons are facing off against all the Buddhas of the heavens."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up with golden light. He was just thinking about how to get revenge, but he didn't expect that the fight hadn't even started yet.

Moreover, this situation is 'evenly matched'.

"Monkey King, be careful!"

Pigsy was cunning; he could tell Sun Wukong's intentions just by looking at his expression.

Although he didn't understand why the Jade Emperor had released Sun Wukong, he knew that this battle was extremely dangerous. With such a powerful demon, a fight to the death would inevitably result in heavy casualties.

"Hmph, do you think I, Old Sun, am afraid of mere demons!"
