Chapter 956: The Retribution of the Dark Deeds, the Devil Is Unleashed

Buddhism retreated again and again, and collapsed again and again.

The complete collapse of the mortal battlefield even led to the destruction of many Bodhisattvas.

Moreover...

The lineage of Buddha and Demon cultivation is extremely susceptible to the influence of the Demonic Path. They only resisted a little, and then they were possessed by the Demonic Path in batches, and turned against each other and killed all their former brothers and sisters.

This even included many great Bodhisattvas.

Just by listening to the demonic sound, the great Bodhisattvas fell, just like before...

The Demonic Path has penetrated too deeply into Buddhism. Each of these monks is the focus of the demonic thoughts. Almost no one has not been visited by the Heavenly Demon.

Yes, the Heavenly Demon actually came to see each monk. He did not do too much to seduce them, but just told them some things, that's all, and perhaps no one noticed.

But now, all the hidden chess pieces that these Heavenly Demons had played have exploded at this moment.

However, it is not a complete defeat.

The dragon king Upananda wrapped his body around Mount Sumeru seven times, led countless dragon soldiers in the sea, all armed with spears, bows and arrows, swords, heavily covered with precious armor, and well-equipped, fought against the demon army to death, and the dragons finally won and drove the demon army out of the sea.

The great gods and the lords of the gods all fought with the demon army, and each suffered casualties.

The venerable Maudgalyayana walked in the open air, defeating demons along the way. Then, once the demon king transformed into a thin shape and entered Maudgalyayana's stomach. Then, Maudgalyayana thought: "My stomach is heavy now, just like eating beans. I would rather enter the image of meditation and observe my stomach with the image of meditation."

Then he put away his robes and bowl, washed his hands and feet, sealed his body, and stood in the same place, making the demon army follow him closely.

The Buddhist disciples also displayed their magical powers, first went to the wilderness to perform eighteen transformations, sitting, lying, walking, and coming out of water and fire, with infinite changes.

But... at the same time, the demon prince also joined the battle.

Among the ten Buddha disciples of the Buddha, Maudgalyayana was the most powerful and used his body as a seal, while the other nine joined forces to fight against the prince of demons.

However, the prince of demons in front of him looked particularly strange.

According to the Buddha, the prince of demons no longer remembered his own name.

He didn't even know how to fight.

All around the prince of demons were impermanent, desireless, renounced, and extinguished, as if they were suffering the retribution of black karma.

The so-called "retribution of black karma" is that life and death are long and boundless, and sentient beings are bound by love and affection, and they cycle through life and death, dying here and being reborn there, without end.

It's like an iron city, one yojana in length and width, one yojana in height, filled with mustard seeds, with no empty space. If you take a mustard seed in a hundred years, the iron city will be completely taken out, and then it will be a kalpa, and this will be repeated countless kotis of nayutas hundreds of thousands of times.

He has memories beyond the limit, which almost destroyed his personality. He doesn't know what the Demon Prince is, nor what the battle between Buddha and Demon is. He just appears and kills, just following his instinct.

But no one can compete with him.

The Demon Prince is only a fourth-grade one. Normally, any third-grade one can kill him.

The fact is not much different. The Demon Prince cannot defeat other third-grade ones except the Buddhist sect. In actual battles, the same is true. The third-grade reinforcements from other places can easily defeat the Demon Prince.

But... even the third-grade Great Bodhisattvas can't compete with him.

All the Buddhas were defeated.

I don't know why...

But the Demon Prince seems to have a natural restraint on the Buddhist practice method, and the degree of restraint has reached a terrifying level, so that the third-grade Great Bodhisattvas are not opponents in front of the Demon Prince.

The Great Bodhisattvas can trace back to the Demon Prince's past and present lives, but no matter which time point he is in, he is entangled with deep demonic thoughts, so that the Bodhisattvas can't do anything at all.

Only a very small part of the life of the Demon Prince is free of those evil thoughts, not even one in a million billion, just a tiny bit outside of his infinite calamity life.

The life that truly belongs to the ‘Demon Prince’ is as rare as an atom in all the matter in the entire universe.

He has been in endless calamities for so long that it is a foolish dream to find such a little life in the endless cycle of time. The calculation power of the third rank cannot calculate it at all.

The long torture that the Demon Prince experienced has turned him into a hedgehog. If you try to trace back his life, you will have to taste the ‘retribution of endless black karma’ with the Demon Prince.

A Bodhisattva tried to do so, but was eventually entangled by the demonic thoughts of the Heavenly Demon and retreated helplessly, and had no way to start.

Anyone who tries to interfere with the life of the Demon Prince can feel the horror of it.

There is a big stone mountain, one yojana in length and width, and one yojana in height. Someone with a long robe and big sleeves comes here for a hundred years and brushes it, and the stone mountain is wiped out, which is a calamity.

Therefore, the kalpa of the prince of demons is long and boundless, which cannot be described in one kalpa or a hundred kalpas.

Life and death are long, immeasurable and boundless.

All living beings, affected by ignorance, wander in the cycle of life and death.

There is no escape, death here and rebirth there, endless.

Even the third level cannot bear this level of recollection, and the great bodhisattvas will be infected by the demonic thoughts brought by this infinite reincarnation. If they do not retreat, their minds will collapse in it and fall into the same situation as the prince of demons.

In the endless reincarnation, there are countless worries, sorrows, sufferings and troubles.

If old age comes, there is no youth, the appearance is broken, and the limbs gradually weaken.

If illness comes, in the prime of life, there is no strength, and life is shortened.

If death comes, the life root is cut off, love and affection are separated, and the five aggregates are scattered.

The suffering in it is beyond words.

The Prince of Demons is like a zombie. He is a human-shaped demonic thought transmitter. His mind stores an entire hell. He has a super special attack on all Buddhist practitioners, so that no Buddhist practitioner can stop him.

The Central Posahava world seems to be filled with endless demonic thoughts.

The three most magnificent worlds of Buddhism...

The Western Paradise Pure Land, the Central Posahava world, and the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli World, one of which was actually polluted by the "mere Prince of Demons".

It's as if... the demon cultivated him for this purpose.

So, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took action.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with his magical powers and great vows, can save all hells.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a great cause and condition in Jambuvipa. If we talk about the benefits of seeing and hearing for all sentient beings, we can't finish talking about it in hundreds and thousands of kalpas. He spreads this sutra with his magical power, so that sentient beings in the Saha world can enjoy eternal happiness for hundreds and thousands of kalpas.

Thus, the Demon Prince was finally suppressed, and the countless evil thoughts he had experienced were also digested by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which also temporarily made Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lose the ability to interfere with other things.

A mere Demon Prince actually restrained Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! A second-grade!

It is hard to imagine that if an ordinary third-grade had to bear the memory of the Demon Prince, he would have collapsed long ago, but the Demon Prince is still alive, which is simply unbelievable.

Even many great Bodhisattvas can't figure out why the Demon Prince is still alive?

This level of torture has wiped out the personality, and every bit of memory is deeply engraved with despair and terror. Not to mention mortals, even Bodhisattvas can't bear it.

But the Demon Prince ate it all. In addition to losing self-awareness, he even retained the instinct to fight, so that he could be used as a bomb like a biological weapon of evil thoughts. He was directly thrown into the Buddha Kingdom by the Demon Dao. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva personally took action to suppress all the evil thoughts in it.

In this level of war, if the Buddha does not take action again, the Buddhist sect will be injured.

Obviously, the Demonic Path and the Human Path have been planning for this moment for a long time, and the decision to destroy Buddhism is definitely not made in one or two days.

Even...

Is it true that the former rebels were severely damaged by the Human Path because of the Heavenly Demon? Are the Human Path and the Demon Path really so bad?

All this is confusing, and it is impossible to tell at this point.

But the war is still going on.

And Wu Xian at this time... actually chose to stop.

The Five Aggregates Demon Lineage and the Wu Dao did not continue to interfere with the Human Path and the Death Demon Lineage, while the Five Aggregates Demon Lineage joined the attack on Buddhism.

At this time, the Wu Dao chose to stand by and watch.

I don’t know what the Wu Gods are thinking, but this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the situation of Buddhism.

The Tathagata still did not make a move.

Of all the First-grade Buddhas in Buddhism, he was the only one who did not make a move.

Dipankara Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and Medicine Master Liuli Light King Buddha were all suppressed by the First-grade Buddhas of the Human Path and the Demon Path.

It shouldn't have been like this, because the human side had to deal with the witches and the real dragons, and it was impossible to draw out such a huge force to destroy Buddhism.

However, the real dragons and witches stopped at this time, as if they were deliberately urging the destruction of Buddhism.

But... all the monks, bodhisattvas and arhats still believed in one thing.

As long as the Buddha took action, everything would be solved.

After all... this was a great existence that suppressed the four demons alone.

Everyone in the world said that the Demon Prince, Li Qi, Zhang Zong and others were geniuses.

Because they all subconsciously ignored those great beings who had already achieved enlightenment, and forgot how brilliant they were when they were young, and how terrifying their talents were.

In the past, when the Buddha Tathagata achieved enlightenment, he faced the interception of the first-grade demon in the posture of the second grade, but the final result was that the demon was defeated.

Suppressing the four demons with one person's power.

The four demons, the death demon, the five aggregates demon, the trouble demon, and the demon of heaven, attacked together, and the infinite demon king besieged, but the victory and defeat were decided in that instant.

None of the four demons are the opponent of the Buddha.

As long as the Buddha takes action, everything will be fine. The current offensive will never be able to take down Buddhism.

From the novice monks to the great bodhisattvas, they all think so.

Therefore, the monks who have not been possessed by demons are still holding on, insisting on facing the siege of both humans and demons, as well as the betrayal of their fellow disciples around them.

However, more and more high-level Buddhist monks can no longer hold on.

Until the main timeline advances another 2,500 years.

That day, the Venerable Mahakasyapa, the Venerable Bhakkula, the Venerable Upananda, and other great monks trembled and even could not hold themselves back. Their hearts were turbid and confused, and they shouted loudly, giving rise to all kinds of distress.

Then, six billion bhikkhunis, great arhats, and all the afflictions subdued their roots. In an instant, their hair stood up and blood appeared all over their bodies.

The Buddhist front collapsed again.

All this was because the last of the four demons, the affliction demon, appeared.

And there was no one in Buddhism who could deal with it.

The demon of death confronts Amitabha Buddha in the Pure Land of Bliss in the West. The Pure Land of Bliss is where the dead go. If the dead in the cycle of reincarnation are sincere, they will be rescued here.

Therefore, the demon of death comes to send these lives that should have died long ago to die.

The demon of the five aggregates has polluted the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli in the East. The Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli can bring happiness to all living beings in this world. It is to let all living beings live in happiness and without suffering in this life. However, the arrival of the demon of the five aggregates distorts this happiness.

Medicine Buddha has closed the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli.

Rendan Buddha had some strength left, but he was facing the Emperor of Man holding the Emperor of Man’s Sword. The Supreme was not joking, and the words ‘destroy Buddha’ were never spoken lightly. Without the interference of witches and sorcerers, Rendan Buddha had no ability to interfere with the outside world.

Maitreya Buddha faced the Three Lords of Humanity, but the Three Lords did not take action, because in addition to suppressing him, they were also guarding against the possible attacks of the True Dragon and witches and sorcerers.

But Maitreya Buddha had no chance against three alone.

So, after the entrance of the trouble demon, no one of the first rank could spare enough experience to resist.

Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Sunlight Bodhisattva, Moonlight Bodhisattva, the six strongest great Bodhisattvas took action and tried to resist.

The ending is self-evident. Facing the first rank, even the six top second rank Bodhisattvas could not be the opponent.

Perhaps if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is only one step away from the first rank, can join forces, the outcome will be different...

However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva must suppress the Demon Prince, otherwise the demonic thoughts carried by the Demon Prince will pollute the Central Possa World.

The demon army is roaring!

The fruits are already bright and plump, just waiting to be picked.

The power of the trouble demon has eroded the wheel of Dharma.

The earth, fire, wind and water have been annihilated.

The turbulent demons have begun to enjoy it fanatically and greedily. They devour the demonic thoughts of all living beings. The demonic thoughts generated by the heavenly people in the Buddhist heavens are extremely delicious, and the new demons born from this are even more eager to join in.

Proliferation, reproduction, thoughts continue to grow, the demonic thoughts will multiply thousands of times in just a blink of an eye, and then rejoin the battle.

Defeat is a foregone conclusion.

On countless timelines, on countless world lines, countless people have made countless attempts and efforts, but the final result is all led to "destruction".

The possibilities have been concluded.

No matter what they do, no matter what they do, the future is already determined. No matter which road they choose, turn left, turn right, hide underground, fly into the sky, or even go back in reverse, it will only lead to the same destination.

The heavens fell.

Countless people who lost their minds and feared people have given up.

Countless monks panicked, because until now, the Tathagata has no intention of appearing.

But there are still those who preach the Dharma and those who continue to righteousness, Brahma, Sakyamuni, and the four kings who protect the world, each of them continues to subdue demons for their own "path", and continues to protect themselves and the Dharma.

They have seen the destruction that is destined ahead, but in any case, it is not a reason to give up.

If they die, they should die on the road of protecting the Dharma and practicing the Dharma, rather than sitting and waiting to die.

But the ending will not change.

In the sixth thousand years since the beginning of the war, after the choice of the endless timeline——

The final and largest Buddhist heaven... the formless realm was declared destroyed.

The heavens are noisy.

The wild laughter of the demons resounded in every corner of the universe.
