Buddha Mountain, inside the Cui Yun Palace.

The Earth Store Bodhisattva on the lotus stone platform folded his hands and said “Amitabha Buddha”.

At his feet, the beast Shimeji straightened his body, showing his teeth, fierce look.

Not far in front of them, a silhouette was wrapped in ghostly gas could not see the real face, the breath emitted by its body is extremely ominous, just like those bizarre, immortal monsters.

A hoarse voice spat out from the black shadow: “This place has been sealed by the Ten Thousand Deadly Array that I have laid down with the thousands of dead souls in the Yellow Springs, and you are unable to utilize your Buddha Dharma and Dao, so why don’t you just tie your hands and surrender?”

When Shimei heard this, he roared, and golden light manifested from his mouth, shooting towards the black shadow.

Although this move was incredibly powerful, however, that black shadow just waved his right hand, and in the void, huge hands condensed from chunks of flesh appeared out of thin air, stopping the golden light with ease.

“You actually did turn back to those guys.” Shimei roared lowly.

“He who recognizes the time is a wise man.” The black shadow responded in a cold voice, then looked at Earth Store Bodhisattva and said again, “When you first came to this heaven and earth and made a grand wish that you would not become a Buddha until hell was empty, in fact, we have the same purpose as you.

When the three realms reopen and all things return to silence, the dead souls in this ghost realm will naturally cease to exist.

And now there is an opportunity before you, open the golden bowl seal and release the heavenly souls!”

Earth Store Bodhisattva did not respond, his eyes lowered, and his mouth murmured Buddhist sounds.

This result was clearly expected by the black shadow, he let out a cold laugh, “I know that you have the Vajra Life Protecting Avatar, even if you are unable to perform the Buddha Dharma and Dao, it would be difficult for me to take your life, but since I am here, I naturally have fully prepared myself.”

As the words fell, the black shadow made a move with his right hand, a ball of ghostly green light coalesced from his hand, in which uncountable dead souls struggled and wailed, and the sound of sorrowful sobbing was unceasing.

Earth Store Bodhisattva opened his eyes, his expression grave.

“It is said that Bodhisattvas are compassionate, if I were to overthrow these dead souls in the Yellow Springs in front of you, I wonder how you would feel?

It’s fine if you want me to let go of these dead souls, open the golden bowl seal and release the heavenly souls!”

The Heavenly Soul was one of the most powerful existences amongst the immortal monsters, able to ignore the laws of heaven and earth and exert terrifying might.

Back then, if it wasn’t for Earth Store Bodhisattva using his own Buddhism as the foundation and the power of the Great Grand Wish, he might not have been able to imprison it within the Golden Bowl.

If the Heavenly Soul was released, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But with countless dead souls in front of him, it was impossible for Earth Store Bodhisattva to turn a blind eye.

After all, overcoming these dead souls was originally His mission for coming to this ghost realm
“I don’t have that much time for you to consider.” The black shadow threatened, ghostly qi surging in his hands, and the shrill whistling of the dead souls became more and more ear-piercing.

Seeing this, Earth Store Bodhisattva’s eyes lowered as he spread his hands open, the Buddha seals manifesting around him.

A golden light shot out from his body and shot straight up into the clouds.

There was an accident in the plan, and the black shadow couldn’t help but say in shock, “Impossible, under the seal of the Ten Thousand Deadly Formation, how can you perform a Buddhist Dharma of such power?”

However, after being surprised for only a moment, the black shadow seemed to have realized something and his tone grew cold, “So that’s it, you want to kill your body for the sake of benevolence?
For the sake of these deceased souls that are nearly impossible to be transcended, letting your own dao voyage be destroyed, is this really worth it?”

Earth Store Bodhisattva smiled faintly, “There was once a monk who taught a poor monk a phrase.”

“What words?” The black shadow was curious.

“If I don’t enter hell, who will?”

As the words fell, the center of Earth Store Bodhisattva’s brow opened up and golden light dazzled, enveloping the entire Buddha Mountain.

The black shadow suddenly realized that the dead souls within the Yellow Spring in his hand began to be uncontrollable, surging out from the ghostly green mass of light, and then raging towards Earth Store Bodhisattva, and then disappearing into the latter’s body. Earth Store Bodhisattva was using himself as a container to hold these dead souls, using a hundred, thousand, ten thousand years to dissolve the anger and resentment in them, until the laws of the ghost world were perfected again, and the dead souls could step into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reborn!
“Shimeji, I’ve wronged you.” The Bodhisattva whispered as His body began to gradually petrify, and this was the price.

Shimeji shook his head, his body prostrated and lay down beside the Bodhisattva, its body also slowly began to petrify just like the Earth Store.

It was originally a spirit beast that had been enlightened by listening to the Buddha’s teachings of Earth Store Bodhisattva, and it could be said that it was both honored and harmed by Earth Store.

“Ridiculous!” The black shadow roared angrily, this was not the result he wanted, and he naturally could not accept it!

With a wave of his right hand, ghost qi surged, and the giant hand condensed from blood and flesh violently slapped at the petrified Earth Store Bodhisattva.

However, at the moment when the two were about to come into contact, at the center of the stone Buddha’s brow, a golden light was like a sharp arrow, and it actually shot straight through the giant hand.

The black shadow let out a heart-rending scream, but didn’t dare to stay in place, only because after the sharp arrow pierced through the giant hand, its might didn’t diminish, and it struck straight towards his chest.

Swish!
The black shadow vanished into the void and swept out of the Buddha Mountain.

Qin Feng and the others only saw a golden light chasing towards a cloud of black gas.

And there was a huge arm coalesced from a lump of flesh behind that black Qi!
“What’s that?!” Tu Bo said in a shocked voice.

Zhao Wenhe’s brows furrowed as he saw the bloody hole in the center of the giant arm’s palm, and the Buddha’s light lingered for a long time.

Meng Shuang looked unsightly, “Someone in the Ghost Realm once defected to an external enemy and possessed a bizarre magical ability, able to turn their own flesh and blood into something like a monster, exerting unimaginable power.”

In other words, that black shadow was the same!
Just as Zhao Wenhe and Meng Frost were speculating on who that black shadow actually was, the mid-air Qin Feng landed back next to the several people.

Before they could open their mouths to ask if the center of the formation had been found, Qin Feng hurriedly said, “Quickly back away, this mountain is going to collapse.”

As soon as the words fell, a loud boom came from his ears.

The Cui Yun Palace fell apart, the golden light was like scattered flower petals, and even the Buddha Mountain tumbled down.

And in the center of that convergence of golden light, Qin Feng and the others also saw the already petrified Earth Store Bodhisattva and Shimeon!

“How…” Meng Frost had a look of disbelief on his face.

She wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by Zhao Wenhe reaching out his hand.

“What are you stopping me for?” Meng Frost asked.

“There’s too much commotion here, and it’s bound to attract the attention of the rest of the people, so you take the person who broke into the realm and leave quickly, lest you be discovered.” Zhao Wenhe explained.

These words were unexpected by a few people, and Qin Feng asked, “You’re not arresting me?”

“Isn’t trying to pull me in exactly what you came here for?” Zhao Wenhe returned indifferently.

Meng Frost, who was on the side, asked, “So, you agree?”

“There’s no point in talking more now, we’ll talk about the specifics later.”

While speaking, Zhao Wenhe obviously senses something, his eyes steeply open, without saying a word his right palm opens up and violently pushes towards the front, the void trembles, Qin Feng’s few people fly backwards like a kite with broken strings, instantly disappearing into thin air.

And just a few breaths of effort later, a figure landed beside Zhao Wenhe and asked out loud, “Why are you here?”

The person who came was none other than Godly Tantra.
