“It’s coming. Who?” The female Celestial God of Yueyao Ancient Land asked indifferently, “Among us Celestial God giants, who can make us unable to escape!”

The other Celestial Saints all looked calm and profound, appearing unperturbed, as if nothing in the world could stir their emotions.

Because they were confident they could suppress everything.

The Ninth Ancestor of the Great Buddha Temple pointed at Zhang Ji’s clone on the platform and said, word by word, “It’s this guy’s true form that’s coming, the real calamity!”

Inside the Demon Suppression Tower, the atmosphere changed abruptly, and silence reigned.

None of the Celestial Gods spoke, but after a moment, they all grinned, their eyes flashing with baleful and cold light.

The Celestial God giant of the Sun God Temple said, “After waiting for so many years, he finally comes… what a waste!”

“In the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, the strongest is only the Celestial God Realm. No matter how strong this guy’s true form is, it’s still the Celestial God Realm. We are all Celestial Gods, so what do we have to fear?”

His tone was very tough, but if you looked closely, his fingers were trembling in his sleeves.

Obviously, he was already panicking inside, but he was habitually putting on a brave face.

The Ninth Ancestor of the Great Buddha Temple said coldly, “Then how did our Eighth Ancestor die? Celestial Gods can also fall. The Eighth Ancestor is an example.”

The Celestial God giants’ eyes flickered.

This was indeed the truth.

The Ninth Ancestor’s earlier sorrowful expression didn’t seem fake. Their perception had also seen the situation in the Elysium Hall, where a group of old monks from the Great Buddha Temple were chanting the Sutra of Rebirth in the Western Pure Land, a scripture for mourning the dead.

The female Celestial God of Yueyao Ancient Land frowned and said, “The opponent can kill your Great Buddha Temple’s Eighth Ancestor, and the Eighth Ancestor didn’t even have a chance to escape. This is a bit illogical!”

As soon as she said this, the Celestial Gods all nodded.

“Yes, as we all know, Celestial God Realm experts can enter and exit the River of Time. Even if they haven’t comprehended the power of time and space, they come and go without a trace. It’s extremely difficult to kill each other.”

“Over the years, the Celestial God Realm experts of the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas have occasionally fought and skirmished, but we’ve only heard of people getting injured, never of anyone falling.”

“The biggest tragedy was still the Evil God Rebellion back then, when Wu Zu and a group of Celestial God Realm experts died in battle, but the Evil God came from the Mountain and Sea World and mastered the laws and techniques of the Mountain and Sea World, so that’s another matter.”

They analyzed the current situation of the Celestial God Realm in the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas.

The Ninth Ancestor of the Great Buddha Temple coldly interjected, “That monster is not a native creature of the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, but an outsider, with an evil and strange aura, no less than the Evil God of the past.”

There was one more thing he didn’t say.

These people mistakenly thought that their Great Buddha Temple’s Eighth Ancestor was in the early stage of the Celestial God Realm, but they didn’t know that the Eighth Ancestor came from the Great Buddha Temple’s main camp in the Mountain and Sea World.

A powerful existence in the middle stage of the Celestial God Realm.

Although there was only a small difference of one minor realm from the early stage of the Celestial God Realm, the difference in strength was unimaginable, as he cultivated the laws and techniques of the Mountain and Sea World.

However, such a powerful Eighth Ancestor still died, and even his divine soul didn’t escape. The more the Ninth Ancestor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.

“The opponent is at least a mid-stage Celestial God Realm creature, perhaps also from the Mountain and Sea World!” the Ninth Ancestor roared in his heart, terrified. The other party could swallow the Eighth Ancestor in one bite, so swallowing him, an early-stage Celestial God Realm expert, shouldn’t take a second bite!

Seeing that the Celestial God Realm giants beside him still looked calm and composed, with a confident expression on their faces as if they were in control of everything, the Ninth Ancestor felt helpless and cursed them inwardly as arrogant and stupid fools.

However, he didn’t notice that,

These Celestial God giants seemed calm and collected, but their pupils were shrinking one by one, and their toes were also trembling involuntarily.

Obviously, they were already extremely terrified inside, but they still had to pretend on the surface.

After all, they were Celestial God Realm giants, and they couldn’t let others laugh at them.

“No, this monk can’t blindly be arrogant with these guys. This monk has to save himself!”

The Ninth Ancestor thought to himself, and looked up at Zhang Ji’s clone suppressed on the stone platform in front of him, “This guy is a hot potato. He can’t stay in the Great Buddha Temple anymore.”

Immediately, he spoke, “Fellow Daoists, I don’t want the Undying Skill anymore. You can take this little guy away and discuss how to deal with him!”

The Celestial God Realm giants were all stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood the Ninth Ancestor’s thoughts, and they all smiled.

The female Celestial God of Yueyao Ancient Land was the first to say, “What I cultivate is the Emotionless Dao of Yueyao Ancient Land. The Undying Skill is of little significance to me. I don’t need it either.”

After saying that, she got up and took a step, disappearing from the Demon Suppression Tower.

The Celestial God giant of the Sun God Temple followed and said, “The Demon Suppression Tower is the leading pagoda holy land in Yunshan World, suppressing all the evil in the world. Of course, this guy has to stay in the Demon Suppression Tower!”

After speaking, he smiled slightly and left the Demon Suppression Tower in a carefree manner.

Xuantian Holy Land, and the Celestial God Realm giants of the other major sects also successively said they didn’t want it, avoiding Zhang Ji’s clone on the stone platform like a venomous snake, and each left in a hurry.

Compared to the Undying Skill, life was more important.

In an instant.

In the deepest part of the Demon Suppression Tower, only the Ninth Ancestor of the Great Buddha Temple was left, a Celestial God Realm expert.

His expression changed for a while, with anger and helplessness. Looking at Zhang Ji’s clone on the stone platform, he hated him so much that his teeth itched.

More than three hundred years ago, he coveted the Undying Skill and suppressed this guy here. He even secretly applied to the Great Buddha Temple’s main camp in the Mountain and Sea World to transfer the Eighth Ancestor over, wanting to obtain the Undying Skill by any means necessary when the time came.

The Undying Skill had other secrets in the Mountain and Sea World, involving a great deal.

But unexpectedly,

The Eighth Ancestor wasn’t even ready when he fell.

And he fell at the hands of this guy’s true form.

“Damn it, I should have suggested that the Eighth Ancestor take this guy back to the Mountain and Sea World directly.”

The Ninth Ancestor cursed in a low voice, without the image of a generation of eminent monks, the Heavenly Buddha Arhat.

On the stone platform, Zhang Ji’s clone witnessed this scene and grinned, “Old monk, undo the seal for me. When my true form descends, I will intercede on your behalf and ask him to spare your life.”

The Ninth Ancestor sneered, “Give up on that idea. I would rather die than betray the Great Buddha Temple.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

But as he walked to the steps, he moved his lips slightly and transmitted a voice into Zhang Ji's ear: "Tonight at midnight, a great earthquake will occur at the Great Buddha Temple. The earthquake will be of high magnitude with intense shaking. At that time, the seals on the Demon Suppression Tower will be震开, creating a crack..."

The voice disappeared.

On the stone platform, a look of eager anticipation appeared in Zhang Ji’s clone’s eyes. Escape would come tonight.

As expected.

At midnight that night, a massive earthquake suddenly erupted across the entire Western Continent. Rivers flowed backward, mountains and rivers split, and valleys disappeared to become vast abysses. Many ancient cities spanning millennia collapsed, and countless buildings turned to ruins.

In a single night, countless living beings perished.

Countless people howled amidst the ruins and raging fires, kowtowing tearfully towards Buddha Karma Mountain, begging the bodhisattvas to manifest and the Buddha to protect them.

However, they did not know.

This was the method of the Great Buddha Temple they revered, carried out personally by the Ninth Ancestor, the most profound Heavenly Buddha Arhat.

Chapter 2

As the major earthquake erupted, Buddha Karma Mountain suffered a strong impact as well. Fortunately, the entire mountain was protected by Buddhist Dharma restrictions and grand formations, otherwise Buddha Karma Mountain would have also collapsed.

But even so,

The Demon Suppression Tower, which had stood safely for countless years, tilted, and the seals cracked as a result, releasing countless fierce, evil, and great demons that had been suppressed for many years, their malevolent auras soaring.

“Hahaha, this old one has finally come out! Kill, bald donkeys, your lives are mine!”

“Hehe, what a grand earthquake! Once in ten thousand years! This is the will of Heaven! Heaven is letting Chen Beixuan escape!”

“Fresh air, vast land, and the invincible me. Ah, freedom!”

Looking out, the once solemn and dignified Demon Suppression Tower was now filled with billowing black air and surging fiendishness, evil energies permeating all directions.

Dense crowds of Great Buddhas all around were roaring in suppression, their Buddhist Dharma emitting golden light, and ultimate Dao Buddhist weapons shrouded the sky, radiating terrifying ultimate Dao divine might.

“Demonic fiends, do not even think about escaping! Suppress!”

A golden wooden bowl overturned, its ultimate Dao divine might blanketing the sky and covering the earth. The void instantly extinguished, and boundless Buddhist Karma flames surged and raged.

An old monk wearing a kasaya ablaze with Buddhist fire strode through the air.

That kasaya was actually an ultimate Dao Buddhist weapon, allowing his aura to become supremely powerful. Raising his hand and flipping his palm, a golden Great Sun Tathagata Palm, tens of thousands of meters large, descended like a mountain.

*Boom*

Buddhist light illuminated everything, purifying all evil.

In the distance, near the exit of the mountain, several Great Buddhas sat in lotus position, refining a platform while twirling prayer beads and chanting golden Buddhist scripture words from their mouths.

The demons and fiendish entities below who wanted to leave covered their ears and screamed, rolling on the ground in agony and howling.

This was an extremely shocking scene.

The Great Buddha Temple had used its ultimate Dao divine weapons.

After all, it was the leading Buddhist sect in the Western Continent of Yunshan World, with unimaginable foundations and no shortage of killing weapons.

Instantly.

Miserable screams filled the air.

Countless demons and fiends were refined and killed. The surviving giant fiends and great demons fled in terror. Perhaps they were very strong in the past, but after being suppressed for so many years, they were no match for the ultimate Dao Buddhist weapons at all.

They had finally encountered a major earthquake that even cracked the seals of the Demon Suppression Tower, allowing them to escape, but they were still unable to flee and leave. How despairing was that!

“Quick, go invite that senior from the deepest level of the Demon Suppression Tower!”

A demon head exuding demonic energy roared anxiously. He was clearly very powerful, having been suppressed for who knows how many years, yet he forcefully resisted the ultimate Dao Buddhist weapon above his head.

However, even he could not hold on any longer.

Nearby, other great demons and fiendish entities heard his voice and were instantly awakened.

“That’s right! More than three hundred years ago, a big shot was newly suppressed in the deepest part of the Demon Suppression Tower. It’s suspected that he’s a senior of our demon race! The strong ones from the Southern Wilderness demon race even came to rescue him, though they failed. But this senior is definitely extraordinary!”

“Quick, go invite this senior! Ask him, the old senior, to lead us out of this encirclement and escape to freedom!”

The demon hordes, great demons, and fiendish entities roared, rushing into the deepest part of the Demon Suppression Tower.

But at this moment.

A gust of foul wind roared as it shot out of the Demon Suppression Tower. A massive snake shadow rose into the sky, swallowing the ultimate Dao Buddhist weapon wooden bowl that was enveloping the sky. The snake's tail swept, and the Great Buddhas in the void screamed as they fell in all directions.

“Roar——”

The fierce roar shook the heavens and the earth.

The demons and fiendish entities below saw this scene and roared with excitement and fervor.

“That senior has made a move! Brothers, kill! Follow the footsteps of the senior, don't stop!”

Instantly.

Demonic energy, baleful energy, and evil energy converged into an iron torrent-like force, charging towards the mountain gate together.

In the void, although Zhang Ji was only a clone of his true form, he still possessed extraordinary power, forcefully contending against the might of the ultimate Dao Buddhist weapon.

The spiritual power of the Tiger Aspect Spiritual Platform was released outwards, and the divine souls of the Great Buddhas sitting on the golden lotus platforms in the void at the mountain gate suffered heavy damage, each of them spilling blood in the void.

And within Buddha Karma Mountain.

Chaos also suddenly arose. Several old monks who usually looked kind and benevolent suddenly launched attacks, revealing their ferocious appearances. They were actually fierce great demons and fiendish entities.

They did not know how long they had been lurking, all for the sake of rescuing their ancestors or relatives suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Now, seeing that escape was imminent, they immediately erupted.

And outside Buddha Karma Mountain, fierce roars also rang out. Clearly, there were powerful individuals receiving them, and tonight, they had all made their move.

The Great Buddha Temple was in complete chaos.

Many Great Buddhas were calling out to the Ninth Ancestor, but the Ninth Ancestor did not respond. They watched helplessly as the mountain gate formation of Buddha Karma Mountain was blasted open by the massive snake shadow in the void, and countless fierce fiends and great demons fled.

"Chaos, chaos! Yunshan World is in chaos! We are all sinners! We have failed the Buddha! We have failed the main camp in the Mountain and Sea World!"

A group of old monks were crying in grief, and some were brandishing ultimate Dao Buddhist weapons, chasing after them with red eyes.

Yunshan World, the Western Continent, was in great turmoil.

Yueyao Ancient Land.

In the deepest part of the Celestial God Palace, the female Celestial God sensed the changes in the Western Continent and also saw the changes in Buddha Karma Mountain and the Demon Suppression Tower. A sneer appeared in her eyes.

"That old bald donkey, the Ninth Ancestor, is truly cunning. He deliberately released that monster's clone, wanting to curry favor and beg for a way out?!"

Her face was full of contempt.

After pondering for a moment, she immediately transmitted her voice, "From today onwards, this deity will be in seclusion and will not see any guests."

After saying that, she hurriedly packed up her valuable treasures, leaving behind a clone in the secret chamber for seclusion, while her true form quietly escaped and disappeared.

Sun God Temple.

In the deepest part of the Great Sun Palace, a sun floated, radiating the powerful aura of the Celestial God Realm. Outside the palace, many experts and disciples of the Sun God Temple looked on with awe and worship.

Because this round of great sun was the guardian deity of their Sun God Temple, the Sun Celestial God, the giant ancestor who had suppressed several eras.

However, if you looked closely, the sun floating in the Great Sun Palace was only in form, without any divine charm.

Clearly, this Sun Celestial God was long gone, and who knew where he had escaped to.

In Yunshan World, Xuantian Holy Land, and even the other major sects and ancient lands, it was the same.

The Celestial God Realm giants had all quietly disappeared. They were cunning and ruthless, and after years of cultivation, their hearts were like cold ice. When they sensed that a great calamity was approaching, they left on their own to avoid disaster, not caring about their sect or their disciples and grandchildren.

Some late-stage Divine Power Realm old-timers or some divination masters detected clues, and immediately, they also hurriedly packed their bags, bringing their families and leaving to seek refuge.

For a time.

In Yunshan World, undercurrents surged.

But in the Origin Continent, the Southern Wilderness was filled with cheers and excitement. Many demon race forces were holding banquets to celebrate.

Because news had come from Yunshan World that the Western Continent had encountered a major earthquake, the likes of which had not been seen in ten thousand years, and the seals of the Demon Suppression Tower of the Great Buddha Temple had even been cracked, and many demon race great powers and seniors had escaped and were returning to the Southern Wilderness.

"Hahaha, this is a great joyous event for our demon race!"

"I heard that Senior Nan E has also escaped. He was suppressed for five thousand years, and was once a late-stage Divine Power Realm expert."

"And Senior Tengshe of the Celestial Snake Race also escaped! That's a half-step Celestial God! A supreme expert who calmly retreated after taking a blow from a Celestial God Realm expert from Xuantian Holy Land back then! The Celestial Snake Race is probably going to restore its former glory."

Many demon race creatures in the Southern Wilderness were discussing.

"Everyone, aren't you missing a ruthless character? That demon race senior who was suppressed three hundred years ago has also escaped. I heard that it was him who led the others to kill their way out of the Great Buddha Temple."

"Yes, yes, I've heard about this too. That demon race senior is really strong! He forcefully contended against ultimate Dao Buddhist weapons and defeated the Great Buddhas guarding the mountain gate."

"Our demon race has finally seen hope for rise."

The major demon race forces in the Southern Wilderness were all anticipating this, and at the same time, they sent out various groups to receive their respective escaped ancestors returning.

In just a few days, several notorious experts returned to the Southern Wilderness. Several declining races and forces in the Southern Wilderness suddenly rose, annexing all around and consolidating resources.

As for the Myriad Demon Gate, which had betrayed the demon race three hundred years ago, it was now facing liquidation.

The wealth they had accumulated made all the demon race forces jealous. A great battle broke out, and the Myriad Demon Gate suffered heavy casualties. The resources they had plundered in the past were divided up.

But to the demon race's regret, the master of the Myriad Demon Gate, that dragon turtle, and two vice masters, one a divine dragon and one an armadillo, had all escaped long ago.

They had also taken away most of the resources of the Myriad Demon Gate.

The demon ancestor experts who had set up encirclements and formations caught nothing, and they stomped their feet in hatred, issuing bounties to hunt them down. But they heard that they had all gone to the Chaotic Star Sea.
