A Bodhisattva spoke.
"Is Buddha really a coward? He always sends you lackeys to show yourselves while he hides to the side, too afraid to show himself?"
Li Yao said calmly.
"You slander the Buddha and spout wild words; let this humble monk experience your supernatural powers firsthand!"
Among the many Buddhas in the Buddhist community, a gaunt-looking Buddha stepped forward, staring menacingly at Li Yao and shouting.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Buddha threw out a magic-subduing staff, which transformed into a golden beam of light and smashed down on Li Yao's head.
Buzz!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the magic staff crashing down on him.
He neither dodged nor evaded, holding the Overlord Spear in his right hand without moving an inch, but instead unleashed a powerful punch with his left fist.
boom!
The magic staff collided with Li Yao's left fist, creating a burst of light.
Li Yao, however, remained completely still, demonstrating the incredible strength of his physical body.
"What a terrifying body!"
When the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saw that Li Yao had actually managed to withstand the magic staff with his bare fist and was completely unharmed, they all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"It's only polite to retaliate, so you'll have to take a hit from me too!"
Li Yao's left fist had already been thrown out, smashing towards the Buddha in front of him.
"careful!"
The other Buddhas' expressions changed, and they immediately spoke up to remind that Buddha.
The Buddha reacted quickly; his robe billowed, expanding rapidly like a balloon to completely envelop his body.
Boom!
Li Yao's fist struck the Buddha's robe, causing it to dent instantly.
A sound like tearing cloth rang out!
The robe shattered instantly, and before the Buddha could even scream, he turned into a cloud of blood mist and died on the spot.
"How dare you!"
The other Buddhas were furious when they saw Li Yao kill one of their Buddhas right in front of them.
The next moment, dozens of Buddhist masters attacked Li Yao, trying to join forces to suppress him.
In an instant, the Buddha's light shone everywhere.
All sorts of Buddhist artifacts and supernatural powers emerged one after another, all rushing towards Li Yao.
A hint of seriousness flashed in Li Yao's eyes.
These Buddhas are different from the eighteen Arhats we just heard about.
They are all top-tier experts, so they should not be underestimated.
However, even when faced with such a powerful lineup, Li Yao showed no fear whatsoever.
On the contrary, it only fueled his burning fighting spirit.
He reached out and swiped his ring through the air, and four sword lights suddenly flew out.
These four sword lights are none other than the four treasured swords: the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Slaying Sword, the Immortal Trapping Sword, and the Immortal Annihilation Sword.
Immediately afterwards, he used the four swords to quickly set up a formation.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly narrowed her eyes: "The Immortal Slaughtering Formation???!!!"
The other Buddhas were stunned, and their attacks suddenly stopped.
The four swords, including the Immortal Execution Sword, shone brightly, their sword energy crisscrossing and their killing intent chilling, surrounding all the Buddhas.
Li Yao chanted the incantation and activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, sword energy crisscrossed, and killing intent surged.
The formation immediately descended into chaos.
The wind rose and the clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Countless sword beams emanated from the four precious swords, including the Immortal Execution Sword, and continuously shone and expanded outwards.
They eventually converged, forming a dazzling, enormous halo of light above the formation.
Crackle...
Streaks of purple lightning flashed continuously from the giant halo, a truly terrifying sight.
"!!!"
All the Buddhas trapped inside the formation were terrified.
Chapter 767 Defeating the Buddha
The Guanyin in this world is somewhat similar to the Guanyin in the Investiture of the Gods world in terms of origin and experience.
He was originally Cihang Daoren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals under the Chan Sect. Later, he converted from Taoism to Buddhism, entered the Western Paradise, and became Guanyin Bodhisattva.
As a former disciple of the Chan Sect, Guanyin naturally recognized the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
However, He discovered that the Immortal Slaughtering Formation set up by Li Yao was quite different from the Immortal Slaughtering Formation set up by Tongtian.
Moreover, Li Yao's Immortal Slaughtering Formation is far more powerful than Tongtian's Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
This greatly surprised Him.
Rumble...
Above the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, there was a huge, incomparably dazzling halo.
Countless purple beams of light appeared on the halo, refracting downwards and striking down directly at all the Buddhas trapped within the formation.
All the Buddhas were utterly astonished.
They all unleashed their respective magical artifacts to defend against the purple lightning attack.
These Buddhas were all powerful figures from the Western Paradise, and their magical artifacts were naturally extraordinary.
In an instant, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation was filled with flashes of light and soaring killing intent, disrupting the entire void.
The Bodhisattvas, including Guanyin, who were outside the Zhuxian Formation, all felt the powerful residual magic energy emanating from within the formation.
Their expressions immediately changed drastically, and they all retreated backward, using Buddhist techniques to resist the power of the remaining magical energy.
They were even more shocked by the terrifying battle scene within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
Such an earth-shattering battle is probably a once-in-a-millennium event.
boom!
A loud bang.
Millions of rays of light, even more dazzling than the sun, burst forth.
Centered on the formation, an explosive force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth was unleashed, spreading in all directions.
The entire Five Finger Mountain was leveled by several meters, its power was terrifying!
The Bodhisattvas, including Guanyin, were also forced to take many steps back by the powerful impact.
"ah……"
One after another, figures flew out of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, and screams of agony filled the air.
Many weaker Buddhas were torn to shreds by the powerful force, their very souls unable to escape and vanishing into nothingness.
"stop!"
A grand and compassionate voice resounded, like the morning bell and evening drum.
Seeing the heavy casualties among the Buddhist masters, Buddha finally could no longer sit idly by.
"Heh heh, you've finally shown yourself!"
Li Yao chuckled and looked in the direction of the sound.
Then, streaks of Buddhist light flashed across the sky, and a colossal golden Buddha appeared in mid-air, with a robust body, a full face and broad nose, and his right shoulder exposed.
"You...you are...Buddha?"
Chen Xuanzang looked up at the golden Buddha statue in the sky and was stunned.
Because this golden statue of Buddha looks remarkably similar to his master.
Could his fat master be the Buddha?
"Buddha!"
Upon seeing the Tathagata appear, all the Buddhas felt reassured.
However, the way they looked at Li Yao was tinged with fear, especially the four swords hovering around him.
They were just trapped in the Immortal Slaughtering Formation composed of these four precious swords, and within the formation, they were almost defenseless.
“Benefactor, my Lingshan has no enmity with you, why do you want to start a massacre?”
The Buddha's expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful. He sat cross-legged in the void, with rays of Buddhist light flashing from his body, forming a halo around him like the sun.
There was no enmity between us before!
"However, you people from Mount Ling have provoked me first today!"
"Do you think I'll just let you Spirit Mountain bully me like this?"
Li Yao smiled gently.
"Although that demon monkey is deeply sinful, he can still be reformed."
"Besides, all living beings are equal. Now that you have subdued that demon monkey, why must you kill him?"
