"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing obeyed the order.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi was constantly observing the movements of the troops on both sides with his Heaven's Eye …
Deep in the valley, Yan Xiu put down the star bell and announced to Jin Man and the others, "Attack immediately according to the plan. No delays!"
As soon as he said this, True Sovereign Fire and the others were energized. Some of them even started to stretch their arms.
Soon, the troops charged into the starry sky, rushing towards the spiritual mountain at full speed …
On the spiritual mountain, among the mountains behind the Great Thunderclap Monastery, a lone black peak stood out from the rest of the mountains. The mountain was filled with holes like a beehive, countless holes. Surrounding the black mountain was a forest of pagodas. Inside each pagoda, there was a monk sitting cross-legged, facing the black peak outside the window.
Every monk was sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed and their palms together, chanting. From the top of each pagoda, black gas was continuously emitted, drifting towards the towering black mountain peak in the middle. Looking from the sky, it looked like thousands of threads of longing, with an indescribable and majestic aura.
The black mountain had stood here for a very, very long time. Since the first day it stood here, the one hundred thousand monks in the surrounding one hundred thousand pagodas had always been here. Day and night, the chanting of scriptures had never stopped. It could be said to be the most pious place in the entire Spirited Mountain.
A group of people flew over, with the head disciple of the Buddhist Master, Jin Luo, personally leading five hundred thousand Buddhist disciples here.
These five hundred thousand disciples and the one hundred thousand disciples in the pagodas were the reason why the chanting never stopped.
Jin Luo personally organized and brought five hundred thousand disciples here. It was clear how much importance he placed on this matter.
"Amitabha!" Jin Luo faced the lone black peak and chanted. Then, he slowly opened his arms and floated into the air, embracing the heaven and earth.
The five hundred thousand pagodas disciples immediately scattered in all directions, descending from the sky and sitting cross-legged under the pagodas. They closed their eyes and chanted.
The chanting gradually grew louder and louder, giving off a mysterious feeling of summoning the heaven and earth. If an ordinary person were to barge in, they would probably be lost in the chanting.
In the forest of one hundred thousand pagodas, the black aura drifting from the top of each pagoda became thicker.
On the black peak, the countless holes gradually emitted a faint golden light.
At this moment, a disciple beside Jin Luo hurriedly reported, "Great Buddha, hundreds of millions of people have appeared in outer space, and they're charging over here!"
Jin Luo's eyes, which were fixed on the black solitary peak, suddenly moved, and his gaze became cold as he said, "Stop, those who trespass into the Spiritual Mountain will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" The disciple put his palms together and quickly transmitted the message through the Star Bell.
In the starry sky, billions of monk soldiers emerged from the planet where Spirited Mountain was located. They arranged themselves in a formation, and countless Dharma Breaking Bows were ready for battle.
This was a forbidden area of Buddhism. If someone trespassed, they would naturally be discovered before they could even get close.
As long as Yan Xiu and the others weren't blind, they would naturally see the army intercepting them.
Yun Aotian bellowed, "The enemy has so many Dharma Destruction Bows, but how many do we have? We can't force our way through, let's wait for reinforcements! "
Yan Xiu said darkly, "We can't wait any longer. We must seize the Yao-Sealing Pagoda at all costs. This is His Majesty's decree!"
Mu Fanjun asked, "Are you sure the reinforcements will arrive?"
Yan Xiu said, "Soon, they'll be here soon. Commander-in-chief of the Right Long Xin is coming with two hundred million soldiers."
Mu Fanjun said, "Since our goal is not to defeat the enemy, but to seize the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, then there's no need to talk about tactics. The army will spread out and everyone will go their own way. With over a hundred million soldiers scattered, the enemy's Dharma Destruction Bows won't be able to unleash their full power. Let's just focus on seizing the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and leave the rest to the reinforcements. What do you all think?"
Yin Erlang gave Mu Fanjun a thumbs up. "That's a good idea, old woman!"
Mu Fanjun immediately glared at him, as if asking, Who are you calling an old woman?
"That's right!" The others nodded in agreement.
Yan Xiu looked around and asked for everyone's opinion. He didn't have much experience in leading an army into battle, and many of the people present were old generals.
Jin Man also nodded in agreement. "It's a good idea, but we have to be fast. We have to strike before the enemy can react and adjust their formation in time. We can't afford to delay. Otherwise, once the enemy realizes what's going on, they will immediately retreat to the target and defend it to the death. That will become a siege, and it'll be troublesome."
Yan Xiu said, "Alright, then let's do it this way. Let's go!"
In an instant, the silhouettes spread out, and billions of soldiers from the Purgatory appeared. They formed a great formation and rushed toward the enemy.
"Kill!" Following the orders from the various divisions of the Six Dao, the army suddenly fell into disarray. They scattered like a net and rushed in all directions.
The people of the Ten Elements Palace didn't all come out. Li Hua, Wen Huanzhen, and the Fire Lord exchanged glances and nodded, then collectively rushed in one direction.
The commander of the monk soldiers, one of the protectors of the Buddhist Lord, was called Lan Mu. He was already prepared to fight against the enemy. Who would have thought that the Purgatory army would scatter and run around like sheep? Lan Mu was instantly dumbfounded.
When the two armies faced each other, he had never seen such a way of fighting.
It wasn't just a normal way of scattering. They scattered in all directions, and there was no order of priority. There were people running everywhere, avoiding the main force on this side. One didn't even know which side to block.
The Buddhist Generals on the left and right were also a little confused. They all looked back at Lan Mu as if asking, how do we fight?
Lan Mu quickly reacted. The enemy didn't want to fight you at all. Their main goal was to reach the Demon Subduing Pagoda, and they didn't care about the cost.
"Shoot! Find a target and shoot! "Lan Mu roared.
Bang, bang, bang! Countless streaks of light shot everywhere like scattered fireworks.
The scene was chaotic and extremely cruel.
Jin Man, who was rushing over with Yan Xiu, waved her shield to block the incoming arrows. Bang! Jin Man's arm only shook violently. With her cultivation and strength, a single Meteor Arrow couldn't hurt her in the slightest.
However, those with weaker cultivations were so shaken that they vomited blood.
Some were lucky. None of the meteor arrows were aimed at them. Others were unlucky. One person was targeted by hundreds of meteor arrows, and his life was forever ended in this part of the starry sky.
This kind of aimless shooting couldn't stop the people rushing in all directions. Lan Mu was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He pointed left and right, up and down, yelling, "Stop! Stop … "
Very soon, the army that was blocking the way was thrown into chaos. They attacked from all directions to obstruct the way.
They couldn't not take the initiative to attack. If they didn't play with you, they would scatter and run around you. If you didn't scatter and take the initiative to intercept them, they would run away.
Even so, many people had already bypassed the intercepting army and broke through the air barrier below.
Pa! Lan Mu suddenly slapped his forehead, looking annoyed. With a wave of his arm, he quickly led a group of people to retreat, retreating directly to the target that the enemy might be going to.
He really wanted to order the entire army to retreat, but it was already too late. Countless people from both sides were fighting chaotically. If he ordered the army to retreat chaotically now, it would become a one-sided chase. Once the army was defeated like a landslide, it would be the end of them.
Li Hua and the others of Ten Elements Palace were very powerful. Those who had come to intercept them were also unlucky. They couldn't stop them at all. The group broke through the obstacles and headed straight for their target.
Yan Xiu's aura suddenly changed. His white hair fluttered in the wind, and his sharp black fingernails grew longer. His entire body was shrouded in eerie ghostly qi, giving Jin Man and the others a fright. What made Jin Man and the others' hair stand on end was that any enemy who tried to obstruct them would be no match for his ghostly figure. Yan Xiu's claws could cut through armor like tofu. He didn't need to use any weapons at all. His hands were incomparably nimble weapons.
The group quickly killed their way toward Spirit Mountain.
Amidst the chaotic battle, Yun Ruoshuang, who already had some womanly elegance, had a different kind of charm. She and her husband Chu Yuan were surrounded by dozens of people. Between the two of them was a young and beautiful girl who looked somewhat similar to Yun Ruoshuang. She was their daughter.
The family of three fought with all their might. The husband and wife's main focus was on protecting their daughter. The two of them didn't want their daughter to go into battle, but the Purgatory army had come out in full force. This was the Yun Family's tradition. They wouldn't let anyone who could go into battle escape. Their daughter was no exception.
Floating above the pagoda forest, Jin Luo learned that there was trouble outside and angrily said, "Idiot! Don't you know how to retreat and defend? "
But it had already happened, and there was no point in regretting it.
He raised his head to look at the indistinct figures in the sky, then looked down at the countless holes in the black mountain peak. Golden light gradually appeared in the eyes. The formation was about to be activated, and he couldn't let it go to waste. He put his palms together and chanted loudly, "Amitabha! All dharma is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, and a shadow, like dew or lightning. You should observe as such, seal your six senses, and be like an immovable vajra! "
The six hundred thousand disciples of the pagoda forest below flipped their palms and formed seals, casting spells to completely seal their six senses. They wouldn't be affected by any external objects and devoutly chanted.
At this moment, even if the heavens were to rumble with thunder and lightning, it wouldn't matter to them.
In the sky, a group of people charged and fought their way down. More than a hundred thousand people from the Ten Elements Palace all appeared. Lan Mu led a million men to block them, but the strength of the hundred thousand people from the Ten Elements Palace was too strong. Coupled with the fact that the other party was charging down at all costs, it was hard for the million men he led to block them.
Wu Chang, Fire Lord, and Yin Erlang, who were in the midst of killing, looked anxious when they saw the golden light spitting out from the innumerable holes in the black solitary peak below them. They suddenly joined hands to break out of the encirclement and rushed down together with all their might.
Jin Luo suddenly raised his head and put his palms together. With a flick of his sleeves, his figure turned into a series of afterimages and instantly rushed to the center of the three. He spun his body and launched a series of palm shadows in all directions.
The three old monsters worked together to besiege him, but they vomited blood under the surging palm shadows. The three of them spat out a mouthful of blood and were sent flying back at the same time.
A figure descended from the sky like a celestial being. Li Hua shot down like a meteor and pointed down with a finger. With a sharp whistling sound, a silver splendor burst forth from the tip of his finger and shot straight at Jin Luo.
