Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 589: Demon Beast

Shortly after everyone stepped into the passageway, the Hexagram Formation once again flowed with Buddhist runes, and this world channel closed once more.

"Isn't this supposed to be the Buddhist Pure Land? Why is the atmosphere around so turbid? It's as if we've arrived at the Abyssal Underworld."

Qinchuan and the others entered the passage, and were faced with an oncoming Demonic Qi. The air was shrouded with a black fog, completely different from what they had imagined.

Ji Huo'er asked curiously.

Third Elder's face turned ashen: "This is not right, what on earth has happened to this world? Why is it filled with such strong ghostly Qi?"

Qinchuan, with his Innate Pupils, had already investigated the situation within the channel. Eighty thousand years of closure had brought anomalies to this world—anything was within the realm of possibility.

Passing through the pitch-dark passage, everyone arrived within the inner world of Mount Ling.

"What... what happened here?" Even the always calm Third Elder was shocked by the scene around him, murmuring to himself.

They landed on a vast plain, where numerous grotesquely-shaped demon beasts roamed.

These demon creatures had massive bodies, some standing a thousand zhang tall, soaring into the clouds, and even the smallest were a hundred zhang high, looming in the sky.

There was also a colossal flying demon beast soaring with spread wings, its body so huge it blocked out the sky.

This was a Divine Level Seventh Rank Great Roc.

Third Elder distinctly remembered that eighty thousand years ago, this place was originally a Buddhist Law training ground, with majestic statues of Buddha Lords standing all around...

As the stars shifted and the passageway was closed for eighty thousand years, how had this place become a haven for demon beasts?

"Clang—"

The arrival of Qinchuan and the others alarmed the demon beasts of this world.

The Great Roc in the void was the first to discover them, emitting a loud and clear cry.

The Great Roc spread its wings and charged towards Qinchuan and the others, its iron-like talons flashing a ghostly and chilling light within the void.

If one were caught by the Great Roc, they would instantly be torn to pieces.

A hint of chill passed through Third Elder's eyes, and the Buddha's light shone brightly.

"Om!"

A syllable mantra spilled from his mouth, and the golden gleaming mantra pressed down from above the Great Roc's head.

As the Buddhist Runes surged with power, the imposingly approaching Great Roc was instantly suppressed and burst into bits of flesh.

After all, being a Spiritual Form of a Great Emperor, Third Elder's strength was not as strong as his main body, but dealing with a few Seventh Rank demon beasts was still not a problem.

Buddha's light radiated from Third Elder, his powerful aura intimidating the remaining demon beasts.

The massive demon beasts vigilantly observed Third Elder, and then, as if they had a mutual understanding, scattered and fled in different directions.

"Where do you think you're going!" Third Elder snorted coldly.

As a practitioner of Buddhism, suppressing demons and exorcising ghosts was his duty, showing no mercy.

"Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum."

The Six Syllable Mantra was uttered.

Suddenly, golden "卍" Rune characters surged out from him, filling this world with the essence of Buddhism and illuminating the dark and gloomy realm.

It was like a hint of dawn rising from the boundless darkness of Purgatory.

"Puff, puff, puff,"

The terrifying Buddhist Runes pressured from the void, and the demon beasts fleeing in all directions exploded into clouds of Blood Mist.

"It seems that this world has been occupied by demon beasts."

Qinchuan's Innate Pupils flickered with radiant light, looking into the distance.

This world was filled with countless streams of Demonic Qi as far as the eye could see.

Worry showed on Third Elder's face.

"No, I must hurry back to the Little Thunder Sound Temple to meet with my main body and understand what exactly has happened in this world."

After saying this, Lingxu's figure moved, tearing through space, and his entire being vanished into it, disappearing before everyone's eyes.

"We must also go to the Little Thunder Sound Temple!" Qinchuan's expression was grave as he looked into the distance. Having stepped into this small world, he once again sensed the remnant soul from the message he received on that day, which was indeed in the direction of the Little Thunder Sound Temple.

But just then, several swishing noises suddenly came from behind the group.

The Second Elder of the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect had arrived, followed by many Great Saints and Holy Cultivators.

"Eh, it seems that something unusual has happened in this Little Spirit Mountain?"

The Second Elder, upon entering, sensed the change immediately.

"The Pure Heart Formation within the Spirit Mountain's inner world is gone."

It was precisely because the Pure Heart Formation had been placed in the temple on that Little Spirit Mountain that they were unable to take action there.

At that moment, the Second Elder also saw Qinchuan and the others.

"Qin Li, stop right there!"

With a roar, the Second Elder's aura surged, and he took large strides to block Qinchuan and the rest.

"Who would have thought that the Pure Heart Formation would be absent inside the Little Spirit Mountain's inner world—haha, it's like heaven's helping me!"

The fact that the inner world of the Little Spirit Mountain was in such a state was beyond the Second Elder's expectations, and he laughed uncontrollably.

"Qin Li, you probably didn't expect this, did you? All your cunning schemes to hide within the Little Spirit Mountain, and yet cleverness has been outwitted by cleverness. No one could have foreseen such a drastic change occurring here."

The Second Elder's expression was icy cold, his face nearly freezing over as he spoke each word through gritted teeth.

"Now, let's see where you can hide!"

After speaking, the Second Elder turned to the many Great Saints and Holy Cultivators who had followed, and said loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, these people used treacherous tactics to kill our Flame Phoenix Holy Sect's Third Elder. Here, in the name of the Second Elder of the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect, I invite all of you to join me in suppressing these individuals. Afterward, my Flame Phoenix Holy Sect will surely show its gratitude."

Although the Second Elder was confident in his ability to suppress the five people, he was cautious by nature.

He was well aware that the Third Elder, who was at the early stage of a Supreme Saint, had been slain by an adversary at the late stage of a Great Saint with just a single Divine Skill.

He was certain that these few individuals had other means at their disposal. To avoid letting the night drag on with dreams, he invited the many cultivators who had come with him to take action together and suppress the few with the swiftness of thunder.

"Since the Second Elder requires it, Ye Feng will certainly lend a hand." A cultivator at the intermediate stage of a Great Saint stepped forward to stand with the Second Elder.

"I'm willing to help the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect capture these people!"

"I'm willing as well."

The remaining cultivators promptly stepped forward.

Just the Second Elder was enough to suppress the five people, and by choosing sides at this time, even if they couldn't gain benefits, they would at least earn the Second Elder's good opinion.

Without having to do anything, they could gain face—why not do it?

The many cultivators stepped forward one after another, surrounding Qinchuan and the others in the center, leaving no one out.

"Heh, so everyone has decided to confront this young master?"

Qinchuan swept his gaze over the crowd and said indifferently, "Does anyone wish to withdraw?"

"Withdraw now, and this young master may forgive and forget. Otherwise, don't blame this young master for being ruthless!"

"Idiot, what time do you think it is to still be playing the big bad wolf. You brat, can't you see the situation before you? You're about to lose your life."

A Great Saint at the early stage scoffed coldly.

"Very well, since no one's withdrawing, then I shall have to send you all off together," said Qinchuan impassively.

"Young Master, should I make a move?" Ye Xuanji stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"No need. We still need to make haste to the Little Thunder Sound Temple. While you could certainly suppress these rotten fish and shrimps, it would unavoidably waste time. Let me handle them quickly," Qinchuan said, picking at his ear and shaking his head.

The opposition didn't just have a cultivator at the intermediate stage of Supreme Saint but also several Great Saints and cultivators of the Holy Realm. If they formed a Great Formation, even a Supreme Saint at the late stage could be slain.
