#2216 - Once again, both sides suffered
Since the Demon Clan launched their attack, the entire Spirit Mountain had become a purgatory, a battlefield of carnage. Amidst the chaotic fighting, countless Buddhas were killed, and numerous Demon Clan soldiers also perished.
The entire Spirit Mountain transformed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with a thick, bloody aura permeating the air for thousands of miles.
The Demon Clan came seeking revenge, deploying all their forces to besiege Spirit Mountain. The Buddha Tathagata and many other prominent figures of the Western Heaven were imprisoned by the Heavenly Court.
Relying solely on Dipankara Buddha to maintain the overall situation, it was naturally difficult to resist the Demon Clan's offensive.
After this period of intense battle, the Western Heaven suffered heavy casualties, and even Dipankara Buddha was injured under the siege of Maitreya Buddha and the Ten Demon Kings.
If this formation had not existed, I'm afraid that before the Buddha Tathagata and the others could arrive, the Western Heaven would have been completely annihilated.
The protective grand formation set up by the Buddha Tathagata was indeed powerful. Maitreya Buddha and the Ten Demon Kings led numerous elite Demon Clan experts in attacking for more than ten days, but they were unable to break through the formation.
"Dipankara, you villain, do you dare to come out and fight me?"
"Why have you people of the Western Heaven become tortoises hiding in their shells?"
"You self-righteous bald donkeys only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong."
Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Clan members attacked the formation while hurling insults at the Western Heaven.
The formation did not block sound, and the Demon Clan's repeated insults were heard clearly by Dipankara Buddha and the Buddhas of the Western Heaven.
"Damn it!"
Although Dipankara was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he dared not go out.
Even if he was fully healed, he would only be evenly matched with Maitreya Buddha at best. Facing the numerous experts of the Demon Clan, he simply could not win.
Dipankara could suppress his anger and act like a tortoise, but that did not mean that everyone in the Western Heaven could endure the insults.
"These wicked demons are truly going too far!"
"I'm going to fight them!"
"Wicked demons, you shall not be arrogant!"
Some of the Buddhas of the Western Heaven, enraged by the insults, furiously charged out to fight the Demon Clan.
However, once they left the formation, they would face the siege of numerous Demon Clan experts, and in an instant, they would be destroyed both in body and spirit.
"No one is allowed to go out! Wait for the Buddha Tathagata to return!"
Dipankara gritted his teeth and issued the order. The Western Heaven had lost 60% of its elite Buddhas in this battle, and he could not allow the remaining Buddhas to die in vain.
"Wait for the Buddha Tathagata? The Buddha Tathagata will not return!"
"In a few more days, we will be able to break through the formation and surely annihilate all of you bald donkeys of the Western Heaven!"
"From now on, Spirit Mountain will be our Demon Clan's headquarters!"
The Demon Clan members laughed wildly as they heard Dipankara Buddha's words.
But at this moment, a furious voice suddenly came from the distance.
"Demonic fiends, how dare you invade my Spirit Mountain? You are truly courting death!"
Hearing this voice, the Demon Clan members couldn't help but be stunned, and their eyes filled with horror.
"He actually came back?"
"Not good, the situation is not good."
"Prepare to retreat."
The Demon Clan members reacted and spoke one after another.
On the side of the Western Heaven, Dipankara Buddha and the numerous Buddhas were immediately invigorated and their faces lit up with joy upon hearing this voice.
"It's the Buddha! The Buddha is back!"
"That's great! We are saved!"
"Fortunately, the Buddha returned in time."
The people of the Western Heaven shouted one after another, their eyes filled with reverence.
In the blink of an eye, the Buddha Tathagata had quickly approached with Guanyin and the others.
"Damn Demon Clan!"
The Buddha Tathagata could naturally see the corpses piled all over Spirit Mountain, the numerous Buddhas who had been killed, and the entire Spirit Mountain looking unrecognizable.
This made the Buddha Tathagata's heart extremely furious, and coupled with the grievances he had suffered in the Heavenly Court, they all erupted at this moment.
"Demon Clan, I will deliver you all!"
The Buddha Tathagata unleashed his divine power, and his giant Buddha hand, like a sky-covering canopy, slammed down.
This palm struck into the Demon Clan army, and instantly nearly one hundred thousand Demon Clan soldiers were reduced to ashes by the Buddha Tathagata's palm.
"Kill the demonic fiends!"
"Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
"Avenge our fallen brothers!"
Guanyin and the others also took action one after another, launching a massacre among the Demon Clan.
The injured Dipankara also perked up at this time, leading the numerous Buddhas to charge out of the formation and attack the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan was naturally caught off guard by the sudden return of the Buddha Tathagata and the others. The Buddha Tathagata alone could influence the entire battle.
Not to mention Guanyin and twenty or thirty other elite figures of the Western Heaven, these people were enough to instantly turn the tide for the Western Heaven.
Faced with the Buddha Tathagata's anger and the Western Heaven's vengeful fury, the Demon Clan naturally could not withstand it and could only begin to retreat.
"Experts, stop them! The others retreat!"
"Retreat quickly, do not engage in prolonged battles!"
"Withdraw from the Spirit Mountain range!"
Maitreya Buddha led the Demon Clan experts to try to block them, but the Buddha Tathagata was already enraged and his battle power soared.
Even Maitreya Buddha and the Ten Demon Kings were no match for the Buddha Tathagata at this time. At this moment, no one in the Three Realms could敌[dí] = enemy, match the Buddha Tathagata.
Demon Clan experts also died one after another in the hands of the Buddha Tathagata and the Western Heaven's big shots, not to mention those ordinary Demon Clan soldiers.
"Disperse and retreat!"
Maitreya Buddha saw that it was really difficult to resist, so he had to issue the order to disperse and retreat.
Dispersing and retreating could allow a portion of the Demon Clan to escape, but at the same time, it also left the Demon Clan without any defensive power.
Under the pursuit of the Buddha Tathagata and the Western Heaven, the Demon Clan army suffered heavy casualties, and even Maitreya Buddha felt heartbroken.
However, the Western Heaven did not gain any advantage either. The Western Heaven had also suffered heavy losses before. The land of Spirit Mountain was almost covered with corpses and stained red with blood.
The original Land of Ultimate Bliss of the Western Heaven was now full of violence and bloodshed, and even the Buddhas of the Western Heaven couldn't help but feel a little nauseous and fearful when they saw this scene.
This battle actually had no winner. The Demon Clan suffered heavy losses, and the Western Heaven also suffered countless casualties. The strength of both sides was reduced by nearly 40% to 50%, creating another lose-lose situation.
All of this was naturally designed by Chu Hao. The Heavenly Court became the biggest winner. Until now, whether it was the Western Heaven or the Demon Clan, their strength had a certain gap with the Heavenly Court.
"Quickly clean up Spirit Mountain, we still have matters in the Tianzhu Kingdom to deal with."
The Buddha Tathagata instructed Guanyin and the others. Spirit Mountain was important to them, but in the Buddha Tathagata's view, the Tianzhu Kingdom was equally important, and he could not lose the Tianzhu Kingdom.
