#1972 - The devil's way taints the Buddha's heart
When gods fight, mortals suffer. Tang Sanzang, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but be moved and once again chanted a Buddhist prayer.
"Amitabha!"
"Master, what's the use of you chanting Buddhist prayers? Isn't this disaster caused by the Buddha himself?"
Pigsy muttered softly. Tang Sanzang's face turned gloomy, and he wanted to lecture Pigsy, but he didn't know what to say and could only sigh.
As for Sun Wukong and Sha Monk, although they didn't speak, they gave Pigsy a supportive look.
"Is it impossible for the people of Extinguish-the-Law Kingdom to escape this calamity?"
The king cried out in anguish, looking up to the sky, but although there were countless immortals and Buddhas in the sky, none could answer him.
This peaceful scene didn't last long. The battle of beliefs between the two sides was evenly matched, and the ensuing battle of slaughter was inevitable.
Poison Dragon, Demon Mirage, Centipede of a Hundred Poisons, Sky-Supporting Giant Crab, Nine-Headed Spirit Insect... these were all great demons and giant devils of the world.
As for the demonic soldiers, they outnumbered the Buddhist monks by three or four times. In the confrontation between the two sides, no one could predict the outcome.
Standing at the forefront were Manjusri and Samantabhadra, along with the Black-Robed and White-Eyebrowed Dharma Protectors of the Demonic Path.
"Demonic old monsters, today is your death date!"
Manjusri Bodhisattva shouted angrily at the Black-Robed and White-Eyebrowed pair, with an awe-inspiring appearance.
"If we're talking about age, you're probably not younger than us, are you? You people of the Buddhist realm just love to randomly label people. It's truly a laughingstock to the world."
The Black-Robed Dharma Protector laughed and retorted to Manjusri Bodhisattva, but it was true. Although the Black-Robed and White-Eyebrowed pair looked like old men, they were really not as old as Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
"Evil demons like to quibble. Don't waste your breath on them!"
Samantabhadra rolled his eyes at Manjusri, signaling him that if his words weren't sharp, he shouldn't waste his breath.
Manjusri and Samantabhadra attacked simultaneously, casting hand seals at the Black-Robed and White-Eyebrowed Dharma Protectors.
"Profound Spirit Chaos."
The Black-Robed and White-Eyebrowed Dharma Protectors immediately cast their spells as well. Under their combined efforts, a turbid energy of black and white appeared, shattering the hand seals of Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
Seeing the power of the Black-Robed and White-Eyebrowed pair's spells, Manjusri and Samantabhadra immediately chanted silently, and Buddhist six-syllable mantras emerged, forming a suppression against the turbid energy.
Poison Dragon, Demon Mirage, Sky-Supporting Giant Crab, etc., were already standing with the Eighteen Arhats. Although the Eighteen Arhats were strong, these great demons and giant devils also had their own innate divine abilities.
"Although the Western Paradise has dispatched all its elites, the Demonic Path also has a large number of people. It's difficult to tell the outcome for the time being."
Chu Hao had been paying attention to the battle. Although the initial battle of beliefs was grand in scale, the current melee between the two sides was even more bloody and violent.
Moreover, according to Chu Hao's observation, with such fighting between the two sides, it was feared that neither side could do anything to the other in a short period of time.
Of course, this was only in the present. Whether it was the Buddhist or the Demonic Path, both had their own methods and trump cards.
Moreover, Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha, as the leading figures of both sides, had not yet taken action. This was only the beginning.
This battle between Buddhism and Demons, although it took place in the air, the battle of spells changed the situation, and the emergence of divine powers brought meteor fire and rain.
Any divine power that fell on the ground would shake the earth and mountains. Even the impact of the air waves was not something that the mortal body could withstand.
The number of mortals who died on the ground was hundreds or thousands of times greater than the number of Buddhist monks and demonic soldiers who died in the sky.
Almost the entire Extinguish-the-Law Kingdom was affected by the fighting in the sky. Flesh and blood flew on the ground, and wails echoed everywhere.
"This cannot continue like this."
Maitreya Buddha shook his head as he watched the mortals dying on the ground.
If such fighting continued, it was feared that before a result was determined in the sky, the entire Extinguish-the-Law Kingdom would become a dead land.
"Heaven and earth are chaotic without a master, and the Way of Heaven is unkind, leading to lifelong sorrow. Use your Buddhist eyes to look at the world, is this your compassion?"
"In the land of Mount Meru, mortals suffer. At the feet of the Buddha, all living beings wail. Where is your Buddhist heart?"
"Have you ever established a heart for the heaven and earth? Have you ever established a life for all living beings? Isn't your cultivation in vain?"
Maitreya Buddha's voice was loud enough for all the Buddhas and demons in the sky to hear. His questions struck directly at the heart.
"Using the Demonic Path to disrupt their Buddhist heart, what a brilliant method."
Hearing this voice, Chu Hao couldn't help but change his expression and praised.
What is cultivation? It is the cultivation of one's original heart. The Demonic Path is the demonic heart, the Buddhist school is the Buddhist heart, and the Taoist school is naturally the Taoist heart.
It can be said that all cultivation, divine powers, and spells are based on this original heart. If the original heart is disturbed, then the cultivation will be shaken, and the divine powers and spells will be greatly reduced.
Maitreya Buddha's move was to use the Demonic Path to disrupt the Buddhist heart, and the current situation was extremely favorable.
The Buddhist heart emphasizes compassion, saving people from suffering, and eliminating disasters, while at present, a large number of mortals are dying, and all living beings are like being in hell.
How can the Buddhist hearts of those Buddhist monks not be affected, including great divine power users such as Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and the Eighteen Arhats? Their Buddhist hearts will be shaken.
As a result, the strength of the Buddhist army will definitely be greatly reduced. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but this weakening would naturally lead to the other side's growth.
"Despicable, actually disrupting my Buddhist heart!"
Seeing this scene, Dipankara Buddha could no longer sit still.
However, Maitreya Buddha's move was very clever, and even he had no way to stop it. He could only offer a hand seal and attack Maitreya Buddha.
He attempted to stop Maitreya Buddha's demonic path of corrupting the Buddhist heart with a forceful attack.
However, although this move did force Maitreya Buddha to respond to the attack and stop speaking, the situation had already changed.
Once the Buddhist heart was disrupted, unless Tathagata Buddha immediately arrived and gave them a lecture to brainwash them, it would not be possible to recover in a short period of time.
The Buddhist army had already begun to be defeated, and some slippery disciples and monks had even begun to secretly flee, and the scene appeared very chaotic.
It must be known that a defeat is like a landslide. If this continued, the Buddhist army would soon collapse, which made Dipankara Buddha feel anxious.
"Kill the Buddhas and quickly end the battle!"
Maitreya Buddha used this demonic path to corrupt the Buddhist heart in order to quickly defeat the Buddhist army, so that Extinguish-the-Law Kingdom would not be reduced to a wasteland.
With Maitreya Buddha's order, the demonic army attacked even more fiercely, and the Buddhist monks began to retreat. Some slippery disciples and monks even began to secretly flee, and the scene appeared very chaotic.
