Chapter 1569 The Black Scale Saint Ancestor
Bone Realm.
Located in the eastern part of Guri Continent, further east is the boundless ocean.
The White Buddha City in the Withered Bones Territory is one of the few large cities belonging to the Buddhist sect in the Withered Bones Territory. It is also the only way for all Buddhist monks in the Golden Light Territory to enter and exit the Gusun Continent.
Xiao Lin spent thousands of first-level immortal spirit stones to get the qualification to use this cross-domain teleportation array and teleport to the White Buddha City.
As soon as he entered the White Buddha City, Xiao Lin saw countless ethnic groups in the city. These people had no power and were just ordinary mortals. Although they were of different races, they had one thing in common, that is, they all had sallow complexions and thin skin. They were so skinny that they seemed to be skeletons wrapped in a skin.
Especially on both sides of the wide street, many people were kneeling on the ground, clasping their hands and muttering something.
When Xiao Lin saw this scene, he also showed a puzzled expression. The Spirit Realm Continent is vast and boundless. Although there are many mortals, they are rich in material. After all, immortal cultivators do not need food, so Xiao Lin can hardly be seen in the Holy Moon Continent. Ordinary mortals who cannot afford to eat, no matter what race they are.
But here, Xiao Lin actually saw such a scene, which really puzzled Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was walking on the street, watching the people coming and going. From time to time, some Buddhist monks would hurriedly pass by with their heads lowered on the street. Their figures were like a dream. With one step, they would often be dozens of feet tall. distance.
These Buddhist monks all have considerable Buddhist and Taoist cultivation, but their eyes have never glanced at the hungry people on both sides of the street, and there is not even the slightest pity in their eyes.
Xiao Lin also noticed that there were not only Buddhist monks in the city, but also a few immortal monks and even demonic monks who were all wrapped in black robes. In addition, there were also various types of monks from various races. .
This also made Xiao Lin slightly relieved. Originally, he was worried that if all the Buddhist monks in this White Buddha City were, he would be too conspicuous as an immortal cultivator, and once he was noticed, it would not be a good thing. .
"Huh?" After walking in the city for half an hour, Xiao Lin discovered a strange phenomenon. Among the beggar-like crowds on both sides of the street, many demonic monks began to appear.
These demonic monks, dressed in ragged clothes and with frightened expressions on their faces, seemed to be no better than those skinny ordinary mortals.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel strange, so he came to the roadside and asked a demon monk in his thirties who looked relatively good: "What is the reason for this fellow Taoist to let you go?" You came to this White Buddha City to take refuge? Aren’t the Buddhist ways and the demonic ways incompatible with each other?”
When the demonic monk heard this, he also had a surprised expression on his face: "Is it possible that my fellow Taoist came to this White Buddha City from other places and doesn't know the current situation in the Withered Bone Realm?"
Seeing Xiao Lin nodding, the man also sighed and started talking.
It turns out that the south of the Withered Bones Domain is still an area controlled by the Demonic Domain. The demonic forces, headed by the [Demon Soul Sect], control dozens of large and small demonic sects and compete with the White Buddha Temple. The two major forces are hostile to each other. It has been tens of thousands of years. Recently, because the demonic monks have begun to shrink, the Buddhist sect has also suspended the spread of faith, so the Buddha and the demons in the Withered Bones Region have been at peace for thousands of years.
Until more than ten years ago, all this suddenly changed. The Demon Soul Sect originally sacrificed 81 Demon Soul Flags, which were the most precious treasure of the Demonic Way and the foundation of the Demon Soul Sect. Every Demon Soul Flag was collected. Hundreds of millions of souls have been sacrificed. Once they are sacrificed, dark clouds will cover the sky and the sun will be covered. Ghosts will cry and gods howl. According to legend, even Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Four Fruitions will be unable to resist. Under these endless demonic souls, the golden body will dissipate and both body and soul will be destroyed. .
Baifo Temple also knows that with its own strength, even if it goes out in full force, the most it will do is fight with the Demon Soul Sect and both sides will lose, but it will not be able to truly eliminate this demon sect that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
As for the Demon Soul Sect, although it has eighty-one Demon Soul Flags, it also knows that the Buddha Sect is powerful. Not to mention that the White Buddha Temple is one of the top 100 upper monasteries, with countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in it. To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the Demon Soul Sect is The Soul Sect can destroy the White Buddha Temple, and it will be rebuilt again under the call of the Buddha from the Mahabodhi Temple. Moreover, if it attracts the siege of several upper temples, the Demon Soul Sect will only be destroyed.
Once the demon soul is destroyed, it cannot make a comeback. After all, the demon sect is not monolithic like the Buddhist sect, but operates independently. Otherwise, with the overall strength of the demon sect, it is impossible to be overwhelmed by the Buddhist sect.
But one day more than ten years ago, the Demon Soul Sect suddenly announced that the original sect leader had died suddenly. The new sect leader claimed to be the Holy Ancestor of Wulin. The eighty-one Demon Soul Flags were originally controlled by the eight elders of the Demon Soul Sect and the sect leader, each holding nine banners. After the Holy Ancestor of Wu Lin took charge of the Demon Soul Sect, he not only re-sacrifice the nine demon soul flags left by the original sect master, but also killed countless creatures for this purpose, even the demon monks, making the nine The power of the magic soul flag is doubled.
Then he recalled several elders who were in charge of the Demonic Soul Banner and tried to take back the Demonic Soul Banner.
The Demon Soul Banner was originally the sacred weapon of the Demon Soul Sect. The reason why there are eight elders and sect masters in charge is precisely because of its powerful power. Once the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners are combined into one, they can arrange the five Demon Soul Banners. The prison formation turns an area into a forest and a demonic realm, killing all living creatures.
Even the demonic monks who brutally kill people dare not use this kind of heaven-defying magic formation lightly. After all, the killing is too heavy and no one can bear the karma caused by it.
But this Holy Ancestor of the Black Scales seems to have no regard for karma and kills as he pleases. After countless years of sacrifice, the number of souls in each of the eighty-one demon soul flags is close to hundreds of millions. , but the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin seems to be still not enough. The eighty-one demon soul flags in his hands were not only re-sacrificially made with new materials, but even the souls in them were forcibly added by tens of millions. many.
You must know that these tens of millions of spirits are all demon cultivators who have practiced demonic techniques. Of course, there are also many Buddhist monks who have cultivated the soul. I heard that they have been in charge of the Demon Soul Sect for a short period of time. In the past ten years, several cities controlled by Buddhist and Taoist monks were slaughtered, and countless Buddhist and Taoist monks were killed. For this reason, they even alarmed the three Mahavatars of the White Buddha Temple.
These three Great Sun Bodhisattvas are all powerful Buddhists with compassion for heaven and earth, and all have great aspirations to save all sentient beings. Therefore, the three of them went to the Demon Soul Sect to try to persuade the Holy Ancestor of Wu Lin to put down his desire to kill. , and at the same time transcend the souls of the dead.
Unfortunately, after these three Great Sun Bodhisattvas went to the Demon Soul Sect, there was no news and disappeared without a trace.
This shocked the entire White Buddha Temple. The fighting power of the Great Sun Bodhisattva was even greater than that of the Mahayana monks. The three Great Sun Bodhisattvas, even the Holy Ancestor, could not kill three of them at the same time.
But the three people disappeared silently in the Demon Soul Sect. The most important thing is that the Yuan Buddha lamps left by the three Great Sun Bodhisattvas in the White Buddha Temple were all extinguished. In other words, these three people had perished physically and mentally. , even the Buddhist golden body soul has not escaped.
This shocked the three Great Sun Buddhas who had been meditating in Baifo Temple, and they quickly informed the Mahabodhi Temple of the matter through secret methods.
The loss of three Mahavira Bodhisattvas all at once has almost never happened in the history of Buddhism. The three Mahavira Buddhas did not dare to act rashly. Although the Mahayana Buddhas and Mahanatha Bodhisattvas have different paths of cultivation, they have magical powers. But they are almost the same. Since the Demon Soul Sect can kill three Mahavadhisattvas at once, then it is naturally possible to kill three of them.
Therefore, before the Mahabodhi Temple issued the decree, the White Buddha Temple closed the Buddhist gates tightly and at the same time opened a large formation to protect the temple. Even the disciples in the temple who were traveling abroad were called back.
White Buddha City is only a thousand miles away from White Buddha Temple. Most of the skinny mortals and monks Xiao Lin saw had fled from the Demon Dao area. Many of them were even lucky enough to escape the killings of the Demon Soul Banner and save their lives. , entering Baifo City is also to seek shelter.
What shocked Xiao Lin was that the Holy Ancestor of the Black Scales had only snatched thirty-six demon soul flags, but had not actually gathered the eighty-one demon soul flags, nor had he arranged them. The legendary and extremely terrifying Five Hell Formation of the Demonic Heaven turned a radius of 100,000 miles into a hell of darkness.
Xiao Lin never thought that in the Lonely Sun Continent, the Demonic Way would be so prosperous. Not only did it occupy nearly half of the entire continent, but now there was a giant of the Demonic Way like the Demon Soul Sect.
Moreover, through this person, Xiao Lin also learned that there are three major demon sects in the Demon Realm, and they are the most powerful. Each controls several areas. The Demon Soul Sect is not the three major demon sects, but is just one of the first-class demon sects under the three major demon sects. Just a sect.
In the past, even the White Buddha Temple might not have paid much attention to it, but the terrifying power it displayed now made even the Great Sun Buddhas of the White Buddha Temple fearful.
After Xiao Lin heard this, he secretly thought something was wrong.
Since the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin had killed the three Great Sun Bodhisattva, he had formed a deadly feud with the Buddha Sect. Based on Xiao Lin's understanding of the Buddha Sect's vengeful character, the Buddha Sect would never let it go.
Since the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin dared to kill the three Great Sun Bodhisattva, he was naturally a master who was not afraid of trouble. Maybe after he obtained all the Demonic Soul Flags, he would directly kill the White Buddha Temple.
Isn't it true that I am in danger in this White Buddha City?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin planned to leave the White Buddha Temple immediately. His purpose was not to get involved in the war between Buddha and demons, but to find a way to enter the Mahabodhi Temple and obtain the complete practice of Vajra Meditation.
Just when Xiao Lin was about to leave White Buddha City, he saw a huge pressure suddenly coming from the void. The pressure shook the entire White Buddha City, and then dark clouds gathered from the void above their heads, and then rotated. Then, it surged in all directions.
The dark clouds that suddenly appeared were not just one group, but groups of dark clouds surged out from the distance and turned into whirlpools, covering the entire sky in an instant.
Baifo City suddenly fell into pitch-black darkness from the clear sky just now.
Frightened cries suddenly sounded around Xiao Lin, and the entire city began to become chaotic.
Within the dark clouds, there were bursts of howling ghosts and miserable sounds. Endless figures could be vaguely seen moving through the dark clouds, and huge faces would appear from time to time in the huge magic clouds. .
Xiao Lin has also done some research on the method of sacrificing the Demonic Soul Banner, and even studied it specifically when he was in the mortal world. However, after he ascended to the spiritual world, he had already given up all the demonic cultivation techniques, and I never continued to understand the sacrifices.
But he knew that these huge faces that emerged were actually the demon god in the demon soul flag. The countless spirits in the demon soul banner were all dominated by the demon god and became the avatar of the demon god. Every soul represented the demon god. Only by killing all the souls in the Demon Soul Banner can the Demon God's ability to be reborn be eliminated and be truly killed.
However, each rod of this demon soul flag contains hundreds of millions of souls, which is equivalent to the demon god having hundreds of millions more lives, which is equivalent to immortality.
The power of the Demonic Soul Banner also depends on the number of demons in it. As the person holding the Demonic Soul Banner has a higher realm and greater magical power, the demonic gods it sacrifices will also be more powerful, and the demonic gods will also have more demons. Feeding the spirit and blood of the owner of the soul flag, in order to achieve a mind-to-heart connection with the owner, and achieve the state of being able to command like an arm.
Among the demons, there are many demonic sects that worship and refine the demonic soul banners, and most of them use it through inheritance as the treasure of the demonic sects. The main reason is that the demonic soul banners, as they swallow more souls, , the higher the spirit realm, the greater the power of the demon soul flag.
Moreover, the methods of sacrificial refining of the Demonic Soul Banner are also varied, and the differences are not small. They are all methods passed down from the real demon world.
At this moment, Baifo City has long been suppressed by the dark demonic energy. Endless spirits are flying over the city, so densely packed that it makes people's scalp numb.
Xiao Lin was also horrified. This posture was obviously planning to massacre the city. Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He originally planned to leave quickly and didn't want to become cannon fodder. After all, he was a step too slow. Now he can only take one step at a time.
Above the void, as circles of demonic clouds turned into huge whirlpools, a man in black robes emerged from the whirlpools. His body and face were all wrapped in black robes, so these black robes could not be seen clearly. The person's appearance and age.
But beside these men in black robes, there stood a demon soul flag that reached into the sky and the earth, surrounded by black energy, and countless spirits wandered around, making bursts of roaring sounds.
Xiao Lin glanced around and saw that there were eight such men in black robes. He immediately understood that these eight people should be the eight elders of the Demon Soul Sect. Even if they were not, they should be the Black Scale Saint. The flag bearer was chosen by the ancestors.
As for the true master, Holy Ancestor Wulin, he has not appeared yet.
"Amitabha"
Just when everyone in the White Buddha City was in a state of confusion, a loud Buddha's name, like a bell, vibrated in the void, and the rolling dark clouds immediately dispersed in all directions.
Xiao Lin also saw a huge Buddha rising into the sky in the north of White Buddha City, thousands of miles away, with a height of a hundred feet. The golden light on his body was like substance, dispersing large areas of evil energy.
With an expression of compassion on his face, the Buddha slowly raised his head, and his eyes shot out two golden beams of light, which penetrated the endless demonic energy, shot into the demonic cloud, and disappeared without a trace.
"Master Wulin, do you really want to start a war with our Buddha Sect?" ()
