Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Filled with doubt and anticipation, Jun Wuxie ascended to the highest point of the stone steps.

At that moment, the entire magnificent and solemn Mahavira Hall appeared before him.

The hall was majestic and imposing, permeated with a strong Buddhist aura, and filled with ancient charm. It was unknown how many years it had stood, but one could feel the aura of time that had settled upon it.

The doors of the hall were open, revealing a spacious Buddhist hall. The first thing that caught the eye was a ten-zhang-tall golden Buddha statue, seated with one hand resting on its knee and the other raised in front of its chest.

The Buddha statue's face was full of compassion, its eyes seemingly gazing at all living beings, desiring to alleviate their suffering.

In front of the solemn and compassionate Buddha statue, many figures were seated in meditation, all of them monks, divided into two groups on the left and right.

The monks on the left glowed with golden light, all sitting cross-legged on the ground, their hands clasped together, their eyes open, gazing straight ahead.

A mysterious power seemed to be gathering within them, constantly releasing outwards.

At the very front of these monks, there was a golden futon, upon which sat an aged old monk, his beard and eyebrows all white, his face pale, and his lips lacking color.

The rest of the monks were all in a state of silence. Jun Wuxie couldn't even sense the slightest life fluctuation from them.

"It seems they have already passed away…"

Jun Wuxie sighed inwardly. He was certain that the monks on the left were high-ranking monks of the Ancient Buddha Sect, cultivating authentic Buddhism, truly compassionate and dedicated to saving all living beings.

Opposite them was a group of monks exuding an aura of evil.

These monks were also sitting neatly, but except for the old monk sitting in the front, the rest all had their eyes closed, their heads drooping, having died many years ago.

Their faces were very ferocious. Even in death, they still bared their fangs, and their black fingernails were very long, making them look terrifying.

Beneath these corrupted Demon Buddha Sect monks was a golden Buddhist array, drawing them all into the array.

Along the edges of the array, countless demon-subduing scriptures were evolving, each one a golden Buddhist seal, constantly jumping and floating in the air.

The masters of the Ancient Buddha Sect had already passed away, but they were still releasing a mysterious power, seemingly maintaining that Buddhist array.

At this moment, two gazes simultaneously turned towards him.

From within the Buddhist hall in front, the leaders of the Buddhist and Demonic factions simultaneously turned their heads.

The old monk of the Ancient Buddha Sect had a kind gaze, his face showing a look of relief, even a sense of liberation.

In contrast, the eyes of the old monk of the Demon Buddha Sect instantly turned blood-red and violent, and two sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, as he let out a low roar towards Jun Wuxie.

"Boy, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why must you interfere? Do you know what consequences interfering in such a matter will bring you! This seat advises you to leave in time and not invite disaster upon yourself. Know that all causes and effects in the world are predetermined. If you sow a cause here today, you will surely reap an unbearable fruit in the future!"

The leader of the Demon Buddha Sect issued a warning in a cold voice.

He and the leader of the Ancient Buddha Sect were not dead, they were still two living people, unlike the other high-ranking monks seated behind them.

"Master speaks with reason, causes and effects in the world are predetermined, sowing causes results in consequences, and causes and effects cycle."

Jun Wuxie said as he stepped towards the Buddhist hall of the Mahavira Hall, "Therefore, today, I wish to form a good cause, seeking a good result."

"Boy, you will regret it. Only destruction awaits you!"

The Demon Buddha old monk's face was ferocious, and he raised his hand to launch a palm strike.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie's foot just stepped into the hall.

The scene before his eyes instantly underwent earth-shattering changes.

At the same time, a black Buddha hand, like a black demonic mountain, pressed down.

Clang!

The Buddha hand was blocked by the golden bell on his body, erupting with deafening chimes, and golden light radiated everywhere.

Jun Wuxie was not affected in the slightest within the golden bell.

He looked around, and all he could see was vastness.

The moment he entered here, the scene was no longer the hall, but a vast world.

The Buddha statue was still clearly visible, sitting at the end of the world, towering into the starry sky, incomparably tall and solemn, its entire body radiating golden light, illuminating the world.

The two factions of monks were still seated on the ground in a state of confrontation, but the distance between the two sides had been greatly increased.

This was a vast land, surrounded by many Buddhist pagodas.

The pagodas were not tall, only about ten meters high, but there were many of them, one every certain distance.

"Amitabha."

The leader of the Ancient Buddha Sect proclaimed a loud Buddhist chant, revealing a kind smile to Jun Wuxie, "Little benefactor, this old monk has been waiting for you for a very, very long time."

"Waiting for me?"

Jun Wuxie was somewhat astonished, "Master, why do you say that?"

"Amitabha, this old monk did not explain clearly, and the little benefactor misunderstood this old monk's meaning. This old monk is saying that he has finally waited for someone who can change the outcome. Who that person is is not important, what is important is that they can come here alive."

"With the master's Golden Bell Shield, coming here alive should not be difficult."

"No, it is very difficult. First, one must withstand the Demon Buddha's 'Salvation Sutra', then cope with the Thirty-Six Vajra Protectors' 'Kasaya Cage Formation', and finally withstand the Demon Buddha's strike, otherwise even the Golden Bell Shield will not be in time."

"That's true."

Jun Wuxie came to the old monk's side and, seeing his pale face, knew that his condition was very bad, so he said, "Master, I wonder what I need to do to help you?"

He knew that the two leaders were fighting against each other, but he could not see exactly how they were fighting with his current realm.

"We have trapped these corrupted Demon Buddha Sect people in the Demon Subduing Array. Over the long years, although we have outlasted the others, we ourselves have almost been completely exhausted. As the little benefactor can see, now only this old monk and the Demon Buddha leader remain. This old monk wants to eliminate this demon but cannot, because a wisp of demonic evil essence is always condensed within his body and will not dissipate. If that demonic evil essence can be dissipated, this old monk can eliminate him!"

"Hahaha, Demon Subduing Leader, you are daydreaming. What will you use to dissipate this seat's demonic evil essence? Do you want this kid to do it, relying on his weak Saint King realm?"

The Demon Buddha leader sneered repeatedly, his voice particularly grating, "We have fought here from the end of the ancient era until now, for millions of years, and you have not been able to do anything to me. Today, with this Saint King realm ant, you want to change the situation, it's simply laughable!"

"Amitabha, Sutra Speaker, you and I were originally believers of Buddha. Although we are from different Buddhist sects, we have lived in peace. But you should not have submitted to darkness and slaughtered the common people of your own universe! As a Supreme Saint Buddha, you actually willingly become a slave and degenerate! You think that because the demonic evil essence condensed within your body will not dissipate, this old monk cannot do anything to you. Over these long years, this old monk has indeed been unable to do anything to you, but today, the Buddha is touched and wants to take you away, guiding this little benefactor to come here!"

"Demon Subduing Leader, don't try to scare this seat. This seat wants to see what abilities you have and how you will use this little ant to deal with this seat!"

The Demon Buddha old monk's face was full of sneers.

Jun Wuxie listened to their conversation, but he was somewhat shocked in his heart.

He had long known that the realms of these two were definitely very high, and he had thought they were Saint Ancestor's Extreme Heavenly Realm Perfected, but he had not expected that they were actually two Supreme beings.

In the world, there were still quite a few Saint Ancestor realm experts under the entire starry sky, after all, the terrifying base number of cultivators was there.

But there were very few Saint Realm Supremes. Even if there were dozens of Saint Ancestor realm experts, it was unlikely that one of them would become a Supreme.

"So they are Supremes among Saints. No wonder that previous strike consumed my essence, energy, and spirit so fiercely…"

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, and he was also very fortunate in his heart that this Demon Buddha old monk had been trapped here for too long, millions of years, and was still confronting the Demon Subduing Leader, he had already become extremely weak, the energy within his body had almost been completely consumed, and his soul power must also have been greatly damaged.

Otherwise, even Linglong Senior Sister would not be able to withstand the 'Salvation Sutra' he chanted.

"Amitabha, this old monk naturally has the means to subdue and kill you!"

At this moment, the Demon Subduing Leader revealed a very strong killing intent. Although he was compassionate, he hated the corrupted Demon Buddha Sect to the bone, and he had a firm determination to kill them.

"Little benefactor, this matter requires your assistance."

"Master, please speak, what do I need to do?"

The Demon Subduing Leader did not answer. Every inch of skin on his body was glowing, and Buddhist scriptures appeared on every inch of his flesh, densely packed.

A strong Buddhist aura permeated the air, and the golden light illuminated the entire world.

Behind him, a huge Buddha shadow evolved in the high sky, as if the Buddha himself had manifested.

The Demon Subduing Leader pointed his fingers in the air and inscribed, and golden blood oozed from his fingertips, using blood to inscribe the Demon Subduing Heart Burning Mantra!

"Demon Subduing Heart Burning Mantra!"

The Demon Buddha old monk's face instantly changed when he saw such a Buddhist mantra, and he exclaimed, "You, in this state, are actually forcibly using the Demon Subduing Heart Burning Mantra, do you want to perish together with this seat? You are dreaming, this seat will not die, but you will be exhausted! You want this kid to inject the Demon Subduing Heart Burning Mantra into this seat's body, relying on him? Not to mention a Saint King, even a Hegemon Saint cannot get close to this seat!"

The Demon Subduing Leader ignored the Demon Buddha old monk's clamor.

After inscribing the Demon Subduing Heart Burning Mantra, his face was no longer pale, but instead ruddy, and his eyes were also more radiant and brighter, but Jun Wuxie knew that this was just a final burst of glory.

The Demon Subduing Leader waved his fingers, and the Demon Subduing Heart Burning Mantra flew to Jun Wuxie, "Little benefactor, this old monk needs you to inject this talisman into his body. As long as you can stick this talisman on any part of his body, the talisman will naturally drill into his body. However, this will be very dangerous, but there is no other way to eliminate him, I hope the little benefactor will not refuse for the sake of the common people of the world!"

Jun Wuxie could not help but fall silent upon hearing this.

At this moment, the Devil Buddha Old Monk sneered, "Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons, I think you're senile. Even if a Saint King has that mysterious barrier that can temporarily withstand my attacks, if he wants to stick the talisman on me, his hand must extend out of the domain barrier. I only need to fill myself with energy. How can he succeed? And you, who are overdrawing your life and origin, how long can you last after writing this Demon Subduing Heart Burning Curse Talisman?"

The Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons ignored him, only looking expectantly at Jun Wuxie, "Little Benefactor, are you willing to risk trying? If Little Benefactor is willing to help this old monk eliminate the demon, this old monk is willing to impart to you my Buddhist supreme divine ability, the [Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill], and also give you all the remaining origin essence in my body!"

"Thank you, Master. I wonder if Master knows the Scripture of Salvation?"

Jun Wuxie didn't expect that before he could even speak, the Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons would offer to teach him the [Indestructible Diamond Body Divine Skill].

After all, he is not a Buddhist, and the inheritance of Buddhist divine abilities is very strict, and they are basically not taught to outsiders.

"Scripture of Salvation?" The Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons looked at him with some surprise, "Little Benefactor, you want to cultivate the Devil Buddha Sect's Scripture of Salvation? This scripture cannot truly save people, it is actually…"

Jun Wuxie interrupted the Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons, "Actually, it brainwashes people, plants will, controls thoughts, and forces conversion."

"Since Little Benefactor knows, why…"

"Master, you are a Supreme Saint Buddha, you should be very clear in your heart. The efficacy of the Scripture of Salvation is not important. What is important is how the person who cultivates it uses it."

"Amitabha, it's not that this old monk is attached to appearances, but how can this old monk be sure that Little Benefactor will not misuse the Scripture of Salvation in the future, so…"

"Master, it's best not to say words of refusal so easily. A powerhouse of the Supreme Saint Realm always keeps their word. It's hard to change what's said, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Master."

Jun Wuxie said, looking at the Buddhist mantra in the air, "After all, I am also a person who knows how to refuse. Now that I am helping Master at the risk of my life, I always have to ask for some benefits. It's just a divine ability of the Devil Buddha Sect. Master is of the Ancient Buddha Sect, and since you know the Scripture of Salvation, you must have cultivated it. Why can Master cultivate it, but I can't?"

"Amitabha, Little Benefactor, this old monk is different from you."

"How are we different? Buddha said that all beings are equal. Does Master think the Buddha was wrong?"

"Amitabha, good, good!" The Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons put his hands together, stared at Jun Wuxie for a long time, then sighed and said, "Perhaps this old monk has thought too much. Since Little Benefactor can come here and help this old monk, it means that Little Benefactor has a deep Buddhist affinity with this old monk. A person with Buddhist affinity must be a compassionate person with good intentions."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

This was the first time a Buddhist monk had said that he was a compassionate person. The person who said this was also a Supreme Saint Buddha, that is, a powerhouse of the Supreme Saint Realm.

He really wanted to say that his hands were stained with endless blood and that he had slaughtered countless living beings in the billions.

"So, Master agrees?"

"Amitabha, this old monk agrees with Little Benefactor. As long as Little Benefactor can help this old monk eliminate this demon, then this old monk will impart the complete [Indestructible Diamond Divine Skill] and [Scripture of Salvation] to Little Benefactor. This old monk swears in the name of the Buddha that I will never go back on my word."

The Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons not only agreed, but actually took the initiative to swear an oath.

This made Jun Wuxie realize that the Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons couldn't wait any longer. He was probably unable to hold on due to his physical condition.

"Thank you, Master!"

Jun Wuxie, having received the promise, no longer said anything and immediately put away the Buddhist mantra and strode towards the Devil Buddha Old Monk.

In fact, even if the Chief Disciple of Subduing Demons had not agreed to impart the Scripture of Salvation, Jun Wuxie would not have refused to help him.

"Ant, do you think you can get close to me?"

The Devil Buddha Old Monk pointed forward with his fingers together, and the fingers flashing with black energy struck the golden bell, making it ring loudly. Although he said he was not afraid, his actions betrayed his inner unease and fear.

The golden bell was fine at first, but as he got closer and closer to the Devil Buddha Old Monk, and when he stepped into the Demon Subduing Formation, the power of the black fingers suddenly increased sharply.

With a clang, the bell body trembled violently, and several cracks quickly appeared on it.
