Chapter 566: Cleansing the Buddha Domain
"The one who will take your life."
The Demon God Sword appeared, demonic qi surged, triggering heavenly thunder to suppress the Buddha statue.
The elder’s body trembled, and the Buddha statue behind him continued to crack, seemingly unable to withstand the suppression of the demonic qi.
"Impossible, I have suppressed all the demons in the world, never been defeated. There can be no demon I cannot suppress. Prajna Buddha Palm!"
As the words fell, the sky radiated with Buddha’s light, and a giant palm descended from the heavens.
Chen Lan merely raised the Demon God Sword and with one strike, sliced the giant palm in two.
"Old man, become my food."
In an instant, Chen Lan flashed in front of the elder. The elder didn’t even react before being grabbed by the head with a large hand.
As the Devouring Demon God Technique was activated, infinite demonic qi engulfed the elder, refining him completely in an instant!
"The taste of Buddha is still so unpalatable."
Chen Lan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. This Buddha Domain had been corrupted by the Evil Race.
On the surface, these Buddhists seemed at odds with the Evil Race, but in reality, those powerful beings controlling the Buddha Domain had all become subordinates of the Evil Race, following their orders.
They ought to have Buddha in their hearts, filled with compassion, only then could they exhibit the full power of the Buddhist Dao.
This old man was easily killed because he couldn’t unleash the full power of the Buddhist Dao in his heart. His heart’s Buddha had long been tainted, so how could he exhibit all his strength?
Since the Buddha Domain believed in the Evil Race, then this Buddha should also be cleansed.
Chen Lan didn’t plan to go to the Demon Realm yet, he would first clean up the Buddha Domain.
...
Buddha Domain, Celestial Reason Temple.
"Blood Demon General, here is some fine tea I prepared for you, please try it."
On a floor cushion, a tall member of the Evil Race sat, while in front of him knelt a monk dressed in a kasaya, holding a cup of tea in both hands, respectfully handing it to the Evil Race.
Beside them, dozens of Buddhists of all ages sat, watching the Evil Race with fearful eyes.
"Drink your damn tea, where is my woman!" The Evil Race smashed the tea cup aside with a slap, then fiercely grabbed the monk by the throat, shouting angrily.
"Please calm down, my lord, your sacrificial offering is currently being bathed and cleansed, she will be brought to you shortly!"
"Useless, hurry up!" The Evil Race threw him aside, hitting the wall heavily.
He turned to the other Buddhists and asked, "Where are your offerings?"
Upon hearing this, they were all terrified and spoke up quickly.
"My lord, they are on their way, they will be delivered soon, please be patient."
"Yes, they are being bathed, I have already sent word for them to hurry, they won’t disappoint you."
"Don’t be angry, my lord, we wouldn’t deceive you, they are coming right away."
They were all extremely fearful, kowtowing as they spoke.
The so-called offerings were actually women, women from the Buddha Domain.
And they had to be cleansed with Buddha water, with Buddhist scripts inscribed on their bodies, consuming medicinal soups cooked with Buddha water or Buddha fruits grown on Buddha Mountain for years, so their bodies contained the power of the Buddha Dao.
The Blood Demon General loved the Buddha Dao intensely, especially these women from the Buddha Domain. For hundreds of thousands of years, he had been demanding offerings from the people of the Buddha Domain, causing his Buddha Dao to flourish greatly, now surpassing many from the Buddha Realm in power.
It’s ironic and absurd, a foreign member of the Evil Race having a stronger Buddha Dao than those of the Buddha Domain.
Suddenly, the Blood Demon General raised his head sharply, and the other Buddhists did the same in shock, looking outside.
"Such terrifying aura, who could it be?" The Blood Demon General frowned, as an extremely terrifying aura from outside caused his heart to tremble.
He dashed outside and saw a sky filled with thick clouds, red Cang Lei streaking across the sky, reflecting the world in a strange and terrifying light.
Suddenly, he squinted, looking into the distance. A figure was approaching, surrounded by endless black mist, like a Demon God emerging from hell, intimidatingly powerful!
"Who is there, state your name!" The Blood Demon General shouted angrily.
"Just someone here to clean up trash, not worth mentioning." Chen Lan replied casually, summoning the Demon God Sword, looking at the Blood Demon General and the Buddhists, and shook his head, "Each of you claims to pursue the Buddha Dao, yet you are tainted with evil qi, are you even worthy of being called Buddhists?"
As he spoke, the Buddhists on site trembled in body and mind, some bowed their heads in silence, while others began to curse.
"Arrogant to the extreme, who are you? Seeing the evil qi all over you, you are surely not from the Buddha Domain. Today, I will kill you, this rude brat, on behalf of the Blood Demon General!"
In an instant, a monk charged at him, erupting with Dao Ancestor aura, calling the wind and rain, ice and fire blasting around.
"Afraid to use the Buddhist Dao?" Chen Lan sneered; their Buddhist Dao had long been weakened, so they didn’t dare to use it, what a joke indeed.
It’s laughable that someone from the Buddha Domain wouldn’t dare to use the Buddhist Dao to exorcise demons.
Hearing this, the monk gritted his teeth and did not retort. He indeed didn’t dare to use the Buddhist Dao because his Dao heart had already collapsed.
His Buddhist Dao had collapsed the moment he pledged allegiance to the Evil Race, becoming a mere dog of the Evil Race, merely a surface-level Buddhist with a heart of a demon beast.
No matter how glorious it looked on the outside, kneeling in front of the Evil Race was just as pathetic.
As the divine techniques approached, Chen Lan destroyed them with one sword, reducing the divine techniques to ashes instantly. He grabbed the monk’s neck, eyes showing pity, "As a Buddhist, bending your knee to the Evil Race, although pitiable, it’s also despicable."
"You don’t understand, it’s not by choice, it’s a forced decision for survival!" The monk roared.
If not for survival, who would willingly become a slave to the Evil Race!
"Ha, in those days, did we the Demon Emperor ever succumb like you do, did our Demon Race army ever lower themselves like you? Even in death, we stand tall!"
Bang!
Chen Lan exerted his strength furiously, shattering him and swallowing him whole, soaring his Buddhist Dao power.
Seeing how easily Chen Lan obliterated a Dao Ancestor, the others were shocked, retreating in fear, even the Blood Demon General was shaken.
It was so effortless; who exactly was this person, and why is the aura so familiar!
"This aura, it’s just like that of the Demon Race of old, could it be demonic qi?!" An old monk exclaimed in terror.
He was one who survived since the great war, not a stranger to demonic qi. Chen Lan’s moves reminded him!
Hearing the old monk’s words, the others showed expressions of terror; demonic qi, could it be that the Demon Race has returned?!
"Demonic qi, given your actions, are you the Demon Slayer?!" The Blood Demon General asked in horror.
A year ago, they invaded Blue Star, only to be defeated and retreat. The Celestial Emperor instructed them not to attack again, but to delve into countermeasures against the Demon Slayer.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Slayer came to them, arriving at the Celestial Domain, right at his territory!
This is bad, even the Bloodthirsty Venerable couldn’t defeat the Demon Slayer, what could I possibly do?
This battle is unwinnable, I must escape!
"I am the Celestial Domain Demon Emperor, here to cleanse the Buddha Domain!"
