The Demon-vanquishing Staff clashed with the Asura Saber.
The saber and the staff clashed!
In an instant, the heavens and earth lost their color. These two weapons had undoubtedly become the center of attention.
The shockwave was like an atomic bomb that could destroy the heavens and earth. Dust and gravel filled the sky and spread in all directions.
Thick and high smoke and dust swept across the sky like a sandstorm, almost connecting the sky and the earth, covering the sun and the sky. It swept across the entire Ninth Serenity Hell at a supersonic speed and quickly rolled toward the nearest city.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Everywhere it passed, the villages turned into ruins and were swept up into the sky.
Without the protection of the Yama's Seal, the people of the World of Spirits and Souls had long been sucked into the black hole and became a dead village. At this moment, even the last trace of the village's existence had been wiped clean.
The smoke and dust was invincible. Everything in its path was turned into nothingness. It slowly approached the nearest city.
The Cakravarti King floated in mid-air and held the Yama's Seal tightly. Rays of light fell and covered the huge Cakravarti City. It was like a huge protective shield that protected his city and his people.
The people in the city were still in shock. What they had seen and heard today was something that they had never expected in their lives.
They saw the black smoke and dust approaching from the horizon. One by one, they tried to escape but found that the protective shield of the Yama's Seal not only protected them but also restricted their movements.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not break out.
The Cakravarti King's face was extremely gloomy. He roared, "Stop! Don't be impatient. I'm here. What are you afraid of?"
After hearing the reprimand of the city lord, the people gave up on escaping. However, they could not remain calm. They knelt down and kowtowed to the Cakravarti King, begging for his protection.
The Cakravarti King continued to channel his powers as he gritted his teeth. He did not know what had caused this, but there was no doubt that something had happened in the Eighteen Levels of Hell that had caused this. He and his city had become the fish that had been caught in the crossfire.
Not only was it for his people, but it was also for himself. He had to face it head-on and not run.
If he ran away, his people would no longer exist. Then, as the King of Hell, he would be all alone. What was the point of that?
He took a deep breath and looked at the approaching smoke and dust. He secretly cheered himself on.
Finally …
The smoke and dust hit the protective shield.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom rang out, and the protective shield began to tremble violently, emitting creaking sounds.
The Cakravarti King's face turned pale in an instant. His arm that was holding onto the Yama's Seal trembled uncontrollably as his veins bulged.
He cried out sorrowfully in his heart. The ferocity of this attack was far beyond his expectations.
Kacha!
With a crisp sound, the light shield shattered into pieces. Smoke and dust swept across the towering city walls of Chakravarti City. The city walls collapsed and turned into ruins.
"Ahhh!"
Sharp screams sounded from within the city one after another. This smoke was fatal, everywhere it passed, all creatures were turned into nothingness, their souls scattered.
Groups of people from the Ghost Realm fled in all directions, trying to escape the pursuit. However, the speed of the smoke was much faster than them. It caught up to them in the blink of an eye, leaving them no place to hide.
High up in the sky, the Cakravarti King could only watch helplessly as countless of his people died.
This time, he was really going to be all alone.
Seeing that the smoke and dust was right in front of him, he subconsciously swung the Yama's Seal to counterattack. However, with a loud bang, the Yama's Seal cracked!
The Cakravarti King watched in disbelief as his magic treasure shattered into pieces.
This was a Heaven-grade magic treasure. How could it be so easily damaged?
Just that blow alone had not only broken through the light shield, it had also caused irreversible damage to the Yama's Seal.
Once he channeled his inner power into the Yama's Seal, it would die of old age.
Although the Cakravarti King was heartbroken, his rationality prevailed when he saw the smoke and dust coming towards him. He could no longer care about his people. He transformed into a ray of light and fled into the distance like a stray dog.
He flew tirelessly for a long time before he turned around to look behind him.
He could no longer see Chakravarti City. It was completely shrouded in smoke and dust. Not a single person had escaped.
Faced with the obstruction of this majestic city, the momentum of the smoke and dust gradually weakened. Finally, it dissipated as if it had never appeared. However, the razed Chakravarti City still showed traces of its existence.
The Cakravarti King stopped and looked at his city from afar. He wanted to cry but no tears came out.
Who did he offend? Why did he have to suffer such an unexpected calamity?
"Ah — —"
He looked up to the sky and let out a long howl. His voice was mixed with a myriad of emotions and reverberated throughout the world.
However, no one cared about his gains and losses. Everyone was attracted by the Eighteen Levels of Hell and the black hole in the sky.
After the black hole sucked Tang Zheng away, it did not stop. Instead, it became even more unscrupulous and started to absorb the ghosts in the world.
Some of the weaker Kings of Hell were struggling to hold on. They were on the verge of collapse and the protective shield seemed like it would break at any time.
In the World of Spirits and Souls, the cities of the Kings of Hell were far apart. Although everyone saw the smoke and dust in the sky, no one saw that Chakravarti City had been destroyed by the smoke and dust. Naturally, they could not feel the terrifying power of the smoke and dust.
Eighteen Levels of Hell.
Looking from afar, everything in the surroundings had collapsed. After the smoke and dust dissipated, only three figures were still standing on the ruins.
Dizang Of Goguryeo, the Lord of the Underworld and Asura were dozens of meters away from each other. They stood in a triangular formation and faced each other from afar.
The golden glow of the Demon-vanquishing Staff had dimmed significantly and the aura of the Asura Saber had also weakened.
The impact of the collision between the two parties was earth-shattering. This was something that even Dizang Of Goguryeo did not expect.
This was a battle between experts. Every single move could practically destroy the heavens and the earth.
This battle also caused another effect, and that was the complete disappearance of the vengeful spirits and malicious spirits in the Nine Serenities Hell. They were completely wiped out. This effect was even more immediate than when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had enlightened them. However, these spirits and spirits had their souls scattered, which was naturally more effective than when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had enlightened them.
Dizang Of Goguryeo felt that it was a pity. He had a compassionate heart, but he could not control everything.
The result today was a variable that was beyond his control.
"Vajra's Glare, Severe Warning? Haha, that's all there is to it. Dizang Of Goguryeo, you are a joke. Now that Asura and I are here, and we have the Netherworld Ghost Arts, who in the World of Spirits and Souls can stop us? Is it you? Can you do it? "The Lord of the Underworld laughed wildly and proudly.
The anger on Dizang Of Goguryeo's face gradually disappeared. It was replaced by grief. A pair of eyes full of pity looked in all directions. The Ninth Level of Hell had been destroyed. It had truly become a land of death. Other than the three of them, there was not even a single spirit left.
Dizang Of Goguryeo let out a long sigh. He put his palms together and recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra loudly. Scriptures flew out from his mouth and danced around him at high speed. They were like butterflies flying through flowers.
The Lord of the Underworld looked at this scene with disdain. He sneered and said, "You are about to die, and you are still trying to be mysterious. I want to see what other tricks you have."
Dizang Of Goguryeo finished reciting the entire Ksitigarbha Sutra. The scriptures no longer danced in the air. Instead, they landed on his body. His entire body was shining with golden light. All the scriptures intertwined and actually formed a kasaya. It was dazzling and looked dignified.
He sat down cross-legged. A huge Seven-Colored Prajna Lotus bloomed under him and lifted him up.
The Prajna Lotus bloomed slowly. One petal after another kept on blooming. When it reached the thirty-sixth petal, it did not stop. The petals continued to bloom rapidly as if there was no end to it.
The Lord of the Underworld was suddenly stunned. His expression changed slightly.
The Prajna Lotus that Dizang Of Goguryeo transformed into clearly only had thirty-six petals. How did it suddenly become so many petals? How many petals were there?
Forty, forty-one, forty-two … It was still blooming. Could it be that he had to reach the peak state of the Prajna Lotus when he had eighty-one petals?
No, how was this possible?
How could he do all this in such a short time? It was absolutely impossible!
"If hell is not empty, I swear I will not become a Buddha! If hell is empty, I will become a Buddha immediately! "
These words were like pearls. They were recited by Dizang Of Goguryeo and reverberated above the desolate ruins.
The Lord of the Underworld's divine soul trembled. He had never heard these words before.
This was because when Dizang Of Goguryeo swore this heavy oath, he had already been infected by the Yin Qi of the Nine Underworlds. He had sunk to the bottom of the eighteen levels of hell.
Now that he heard these words, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
He stared at Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva without blinking. Suddenly, he saw Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva put on the golden kasaya and bathed in the sacred golden light. The Vanquishing Devil Staff in his hand lit up with scriptures, and the Prajna Divine Lotus kept blooming its petals until it stopped at the fifty-sixth petal.
The power of the fifty-six petals Prajna Lotus was much stronger than when it only had thirty-six petals.
Every petal of the Prajna Lotus symbolized a calamity that the practitioner would encounter in the process of cultivation. From thirty-six petals to fifty-six petals, Dizang Of Goguryeo had experienced twenty calamities. These calamities were in the heart and not in the external form.
Therefore, these twenty tribulations were what he had experienced during this short exchange of blows.
Although the Prajna Lotus hadn't reached its peak state, it didn't affect Dizang Of Goguryeo from becoming a Buddha. With his cultivation and temperament, he had already met the conditions to become a Buddha. However, because he swore a heavy oath and hell wasn't empty, he couldn't break through this barrier.
Now, due to a freak combination of factors, the battle between Dizang Of Goguryeo and Asura affected a wide area. Everything in hell had disappeared, and hell had collapsed. Hell had become empty, so his oath was broken.
When hell was empty, he would become a Buddha on the spot.
Therefore, all of this happened naturally. There was no need for Dizang Of Goguryeo to make any preparations.
He recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra and turned it into a kasaya.
When the kasaya was attached to his body, he would become a Buddha on the spot!
Buddha was the final form of his divine power, so he had almost reached the peak of his cultivation.
However, he hadn't experienced enough calamities. The Prajna Lotus only had fifty-six petals, so he hadn't truly reached the peak of Buddha.
