Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2153 - Xitian has the upper hand

Those demons active in the Western Heaven were, of course, driven from the North Sea under Chu Hao's design.

Naturally, Tathagata could see this as well, but there was nothing he could do about it, because he couldn't blame Chu Hao.

Chu Hao was subduing demons and eliminating evil; as for where those demons fled to, that was not Chu Hao's responsibility.

"It's Chu Hao again!"

Just as Chu Hao said, the Tathagata Buddha was now really having a headache.

Tens of thousands of demons wreaking havoc in the Western Heaven was no small matter, directly threatening the Western Heaven's rule over its territories.

At this time, the main force of the Western Heaven was still engaged in a great battle with the Demon Clan in Jinping Prefecture, and the Western Heaven simply had no manpower to spare.

It would naturally be no problem for the Tathagata Buddha to personally eliminate the demons, but those demons had come to the Western Heaven and spread out, and relying solely on the Tathagata Buddha, he would be exhausted and unable to control the situation in a short time.

Although the Western Heaven still had many disciples and monks, the strength of those demons was formidable, and ordinary disciples and monks would basically be offering themselves as sacrifices.

"Buddha, how should we handle this situation?"

His subordinate asked the Tathagata Buddha.

"You may withdraw for now, and let me think carefully."

The Tathagata Buddha was also very conflicted, whether it was more important to deal with the Demon Clan in Jinping Prefecture or to deal with these tens of thousands of demons; he was somewhat unable to make up his mind.

Meanwhile, in Jinping Prefecture, the battle between the Western Heaven and the Demon Clan had already entered its fifth day.

The great battle of these five days was extremely fierce, and the Western Heaven had already lost half of its manpower.

The Demon Clan's side was naturally not doing any better, and the manpower lost had also exceeded half.

The ground in Jinping Prefecture was covered with the corpses of Buddhas and Demon Clan soldiers; this was the most tragic battle between the Demon Clan and the Western Heaven.

However, neither side retreated in the slightest; having already paid such a sacrifice, how could they easily stop the war without determining a victor?

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara was still fighting with Maitreya Buddha; after fighting each other for five days, their mana had already been severely depleted.

"Dipankara, you might as well use your orthodox divine power again, and make a desperate gamble."

Maitreya Buddha sneered and taunted the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

"Hmph, dealing with you doesn't require a desperate gamble, take this!"

In fact, how could the Ancient Buddha Dipankara be willing to do so, but that ultimate move could not be used casually.

The cultivation loss caused by the last use had not yet fully recovered, and if he forced himself to use it again, the consequences would be very serious.

Maitreya Buddha also saw this, which is why he taunted him, making the Ancient Buddha Dipankara even more angry and disrupting his state of mind.

However, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara was, after all, an old and cunning fellow who had lived for more than a million years, and would not be easily fooled.

The two of them had not determined who was superior, but the situation had already begun to tilt towards one side.

The key to the problem lay in the battle between the Western Heaven's big shots and the Demon Clan's bosses, and there was a reason for this.

The Demon Clan's bosses were actually not weaker than the Western Heaven's big shots, but the Demon Clan had a weakness, which was that they fought on their own, and the degree of cooperation between them was relatively poor.

The Western Heaven's big shots were different; after all, they were a formal Buddhist organization, and there were many people like the Eighteen Arhats who were good at combined attack techniques and group battle formations.

It was because of this difference that the Western Heaven's big shots gained the upper hand, forming a kind of suppression on the Demon Clan's main combat power.

This main combat power was a crucial link in the battle; the Demon Clan's bosses were defeated one after another, which immediately brought an important impact to the Demon Clan's side.

Avalokiteśvara and others took the opportunity to launch a massacre against the Demon Clan's camp; how could ordinary Demon Clan soldiers be their opponents?

"Charge over and break their formation!"

Avalokiteśvara took the lead, leading the Western Heaven's main combat power, and charged into the Demon Clan's camp.

For a time, the Demon Clan's camp was thrown into great chaos, and this chaos caused a chain reaction.

The Western Heaven's Buddha army took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and the Demon Clan's camp began to collapse across the board.

The so-called defeat is like a landslide; the Demon Clan showed a weak situation, affecting the morale of all the Demon Clan people.

The Demon Clan's side began to rout, and as a result, they could not stop the Western Heaven's Buddha army from charging and killing.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples watched this battle, and after watching it for five consecutive days, there was finally going to be a result.

"The Western Heaven is going to win."

Tang Sanzang saw that the Western Heaven had gained the upper hand and the Demon Clan had begun to rout, and could not help but feel a little disappointed.

In fact, for them, they were more inclined towards the Demon Clan than the Western Heaven.

"Even if the Western Heaven wins, it will only be a pyrrhic victory."

Sun Wukong didn't care, and besides, in the current situation, the Western Heaven's losses were already not small.

However, with the overall collapse of the Demon Clan, Avalokiteśvara and other main combat forces of the Western Heaven also set their sights on Maitreya Buddha.

"To catch the bandits, first catch the king; if we clean up Maitreya Buddha first, the Demon Clan will be completely defeated."

Avalokiteśvara said to the Western Heaven's big shots.

Immediately, they went to Maitreya Buddha together with Mañjuśrī, Samantabhadra, the Eighteen Arhats, and others.

Maitreya Buddha and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara had already done their best in their duel, and when they saw Avalokiteśvara and others arriving, they could not help but secretly lament their misfortune.

"Maitreya Buddha, how long can you hold on?"

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara was also very excited to see his reinforcements arriving.

Although Avalokiteśvara and others were relatively weaker than Maitreya Buddha and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, they were numerous and were also a strong boost.

As long as the Ancient Buddha Dipankara had their help, it would naturally not be too difficult to defeat Maitreya Buddha in a short time.

"Attack."

Avalokiteśvara and others occupied their positions, surrounded Maitreya Buddha in the middle, and launched an attack at the same time.

Maitreya Buddha immediately distracted himself to deal with them, but the Ancient Buddha Dipankara also launched a fierce attack at this time.

Faced with such a situation, Maitreya Buddha could only retreat and dodge; with such a retreat, Avalokiteśvara and others took the opportunity to gather with the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

"Attack together, he will definitely not be able to resist."

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara shouted to Avalokiteśvara.

"Bullying the few with the many, you Western Heaven are so shameless, I will fight you!"

Maitreya Buddha gritted his teeth and said, he knew that he could not be defeated; if he retreated, the Demon Clan would be completely defeated, and there would be no room for reversal.

However, Maitreya Buddha himself was not sure of being able to withstand the combined attack of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and Avalokiteśvara, and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Seeing the combined attack of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and Avalokiteśvara coming towards him, Maitreya Buddha used all his strength to launch a divine power to resist.

However, it was obvious that the momentum and strength of the two sides had already tilted significantly, and Maitreya Buddha's move did not resist and was broken through by the other side.

The momentum of the attack was slightly reduced, but it still rushed towards Maitreya Buddha; Maitreya Buddha was unable to dodge and took a hit.

Immediately, a mouthful of blood spurted out, indicating that his body had been injured.
