Chapter 1103 - 130: Vajra Realm? Blood Sea Purgatory!
As soon as the words were spoken, his figure drifted away, landing directly on the stone stele, stepping into the Vajra Realm.
Almost at the instant his figure was about to vanish into the passage, a golden radiance appeared around him.
Amidst the dazzling brilliance, the faintly angered voice of Gu Ying Bodhisattva could be heard: "What audacity!"
Seeing the situation, the three envoys following Gu Ying hesitated no longer and flew straight over.
The Arhat Buddhas, along with their envoys, followed closely behind.
Chen Yuan lagged a step, leading Zhou Guanwu and others on a Lotus Platform, following behind the numerous Arhats.
Yimu transmitted a message: "Be ready; something feels off."
Zhou Guanwu, without turning his head, replied via sound transmission: "Gu Ying Bodhisattva already said it earlier, just kill them."
Earth Monk shared the same thought with him.
Chen Yuan glanced at the three of them and transmitted calmly: "For Gu Ying Bodhisattva to be so enraged, the power within the Vajra Realm must far exceed ours."
"We shouldn't rush, just follow behind the two Bodhisattvas."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Guanwu and the others paused, then agreed.
Even though their relationship with Chen Yuan wasn't good, they couldn't afford disloyalty now, with the Vajra Realm and two Bodhisattvas by their side.
In the next moment, the four entered the Vajra Realm with the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform.
As soon as they entered, Chen Yuan heard a roar beside his ear.
It was like a roar of madness and despair from the depths of the Purgatory, comparable to the ghosts on the "Netherworld River," without any trace of intelligent life.
Only bloodthirst.
Moreover, a cold and bloodthirsty murderous intent rushed toward Chen Yuan's head.
Without thinking further, Chen Yuan stomped gently, and the Lotus Platform beneath erupted with radiant golden light, instantly enveloping the four of them in the vast merit and will power of the Buddhist sect.
The murderous bloodthirst was blocked outside.
Chen Yuan fixed his gaze, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
The Vajra Realm, originally a place for numerous great Buddhist cultivators, was now devoid of any Buddhist merit and willpower.
There was no trace of life—
The sky flowed like blood, a crimson expanse intermingling with the blood-colored clouds.
The land was devoid of life; the trees, flowers, and grass were all withered.
Under the dim light, red rain like blood drizzled down.
Indeed, it seemed like a human purgatory.
Not only was Chen Yuan stunned, but Zhou Guanwu, scanning his surroundings, exclaimed in surprise: "Is this... the Vajra Realm?"
Earth Monk, eyes wide, raised two dark arms under his worn Kasaya, clasping his hands together, reciting "Amitabha."
"It's clear Mani Jiaye was right, the Vajra Realm has deviated from the Buddhist path, becoming a purgatorial abyss."
Yimu wasn't too surprised, scanning around, seeing Gu Ying Bodhisattva and others ahead, pointing towards them:
"They're there, engaging with some... huh, what kind of creatures are those?"
"They don't look like demons; they resemble the Barbarian Clan."
Chen Yuan naturally also saw those strange creatures, pondering: "Now isn't the time to discuss, regardless of what they are, we must kill them."
This was essentially nonsense.
Yet at the moment, it could ease the minds of Zhou Guanwu and the others.
Subsequently, Chen Yuan no longer hesitated, maneuvering the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform, heading directly to join Gu Ying and other Bodhisattvas, Buddhas.
Upon arrival, he sensed the strangeness of those peculiar creatures.
Yimu, ahead of him, opened his mouth in astonishment: "These monsters actually aren't afraid of merit and will power?"
The truth was as they saw.
The strange creatures, enveloped in a bloody aura, were tall and muscular, resembling the Barbarian Clan.
Yet their faces were blue with fangs, extremely ferocious.
Their power was comparable to that of a great master in the Five Divine Power Realms.
In battle, they charged fearlessly, even though they couldn't withstand Gu Ying Bodhisattva, knowing no fear.
Enshrouded by the bloody aura, they wielded weapons similar to Buddhist Vajra Pestles, swinging them freely.
Whenever Gu Ying utilized Buddhist merit and will power to demonstrate divine skills, these strange beings would gather in small groups, holding hands to resist together.
Relying on the layer of blood-red aura shielding them, they managed to disperse and transfer Gu Ying Bodhisattva's divine skill and merit and will power.
As a result, Gu Ying Bodhisattva's continuous divine skills didn't achieve the expected effect.
At that moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva arrived, directly instructing the three envoys behind him:
"Separate them."
"As you command, Bodhisattva."
Then, three robust Buddhas advanced, each holding a Pipa, plucking it to release golden light, transforming into golden winds that blew downward.
A man struck the ground with both fists, and with a rumble, he raised several towering stone walls from the withered and decayed earth, dividing those bizarre creatures into several sections.
Without waiting for those monsters to react, another figure, a Buddha whose true form was a demon, spat out fine threads from his mouth, weaving vast silver-white nets across those earthen walls.
Each giant net could hold no more than three strange creatures.
And as the golden wind descended, more of the monsters were scattered.
Thus, the divine skills wielded by Gu Ying Bodhisattva and others took effect, slaughtering one monster after another.
Even Chen Yuan, wielding a heavy saber, managed to slay dozens of monsters.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not join the battle, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield before settling on a distant giant mountain.
To be precise, it was upon the Vajra Temple on that mountain.
After a moment of observation, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gazed intently at the Vajra Temple and suddenly asked, "May I know how the benefactor is addressed?"
Gu Ying Bodhisattva turned his head slightly to glance at him, then scanned the surroundings.
Just as he was about to speak, a light chuckle sounded in his ear:
"My name is Rakshasa."
"Owner of this Blood Sea Purgatory."
"And who might you be?"
Gu Ying Bodhisattva immediately located the speaker's position and coldly said with a frown, "I am Gu Ying, a Bodhisattva under Spirit Mountain Mani Jiaye."
"Bodhisattva?"
"Spirit Mountain Bodhisattvas, ha, a band of thieves who have stolen the secret realm of the Ancient Spirit Mountain, how dare you call yourselves Bodhisattvas?"
"Oh?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the young monk who appeared outside the Vajra Temple and asked:
"You, too, should be of the Buddhist sect, do you not know that Spirit Mountain has always been the abode of those proficient in Buddhist law since ancient times?"
"How then can you speak of thieves?"
The man coldly replied, "You have slaughtered the Asuras of my Blood Sea Purgatory and stolen my Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture, are you not thieves?"
"You..."
"The old abbot of Vajra Temple?"
Gu Ying Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva exchanged glances, looking at the young monk with some surprise.
"You, you've actually fallen into the Demon Path!?"
"Demon Path?"
"Wrong, what I've entered is the Asura Path!"
No sooner had he spoken than the young monk flew into the air, a sinister smile emerging on his handsome face.
"Boys, kill them, and we will stand proudly over Taizhou Mountain!"
"Roar——"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, over ten thousand monsters appeared around Gu Ying and the others once more.
Or rather, Asuras.
Most of them were tall with azure faces and tusks, but there were also quite a few with three heads and six arms, looking even more terrifying.
Chen Yuan frowned as he scrutinized those Asuras, muttering to himself, "Seventh Realm of Divine Power."
"How did these Asuras come to be, possessing the power of several hundred with the Seventh Realm of Divine Power?"
Understand that, as of now, only about several hundred beings on Spirit Mountain possess power beyond the Seventh Realm of Divine Power.
Yet here, there were this many.
"Be careful."
Ksitigarbha also noticed the three-headed six-armed Asuras, cautioning those around him:
"If things become untenable, take shelter behind Gu Ying and me."
Both Bodhisattvas were protected by a Ninth Grade Lotus Platform and held magic treasures obtained from the legacy of the Ancient Spirit Mountain.
Additionally, their cultivation was profound, making them unafraid of these Asuras.
However, after Chen Yuan and the others engaged with the Asuras, they began to feel some pressure.
Not only could the Asuras join forces to resist Buddhist divine powers, but they could also deliver even greater might when cooperating.
Three Asuras of the Fifth Realm of Divine Power could stand against a Buddha's Messenger of the Seventh Realm.
Three three-headed six-armed Asuras could also contend with the envoys under Gu Ying and Ksitigarbha.
After a round of fierce battle, Gu Ying, with a cold gleam in his eyes, tossed out a remark and swiftly moved outside the Vajra Temple.
"No matter who you are, Mani Jiaye has decreed that today you and the Vajra Realm are to be transcended by all Buddhas of Spirit Mountain!"
The young monk glanced at him and sneered, "Then come and take my life."
"Kill!"
