Buddha furrowed his brow and spoke, his expression quite displeased.

During this period, Mount Ling had been plagued with continual problems, draining the spirits of these Buddhists.

In addition, the leakage of Marx’s powers was a torment to their minds, making them increasingly irritable and agitated.

Hearing the chaotic noise outside, they naturally erupted in anger.

Fortunately, after Maitreya’s reminder, they knew that Marx’s powers were influencing Mount Ling recently, so they could still suppress the rage in their hearts and avoid doing anything improper.

"Fellow Buddhists, monsters are rampantly slaughtering believers within my area of Mount Ling," said one.

At these words, all the Buddhists’ faces changed. This was an affront right at their doorstep.

They knew these believers were the foundation of the Buddhist Sect; each one treasured. Now, for them to be wantonly slaughtered was utterly outrageous.

"From where did these audacious monsters come, to dare affront the Buddhist Sect itself?" someone asked in a grave voice.

"We don’t know, these monsters just sprang up from nowhere. We had never heard of them before, and all of a sudden, they attacked us. Moreover, they are spread out everywhere, and we are somewhat understaffed."

This was also a consequence of the situation in the Eastern Land, because the most robust segment of young disciples had all died in the Eastern Land, which made Mount Ling’s manpower appear quite insufficient.

There was a severe lack of middle-tier strength, and it seemed the opposition had seized this rare opportunity for a multi-pronged attack, targeting the insufficient manpower of the Buddhist Sect.

None of these Buddhists were fools; they instantly realized that although it was the monsters attacking, eight or nine times out of ten, this was orchestrated by the Heavenly Court.

"Well, indeed a clever tactic, they were ambushing us right here," someone said through gritted teeth.

Now, only the monsters were making overt moves, and they certainly wouldn’t own up to it, while they themselves had no choice but to go out and confront these monsters attacking them, lest the believers and the lower echelon suffer grievously, potentially devastating the Buddhist Sect completely.

The various Buddhas left Mount Ling once more, and the shining Buddha’s Light immediately enveloped Mount Ling, dyeing it a golden yellow.

However, this time, everyone on Mount Ling wore a solemn expression.

Over the periods, the actions of the various Buddhas somewhat shook the lives of those residing on Mount Ling, especially when they were previously trapped in the Eastern Land and had struggled significantly to return, causing widespread panic.

Now, just as people were finally settling down, the recent besiegement unsettled them again.

"Amitabha Buddha, when did our Buddhist Sect face such frequent disasters?"

"Ever since Buddha transcended, we’ve been as if plunged into an abyss, could it be that the great catastrophe of the Buddhist Sect is approaching?"

There was much discussion among the people; they felt that recently, the Buddhist Sect had been plagued with troubles, with the previous extermination of Buddhism in the Eastern Land, and now the attack by the Demon Clan.

"Now that the Buddhas have taken action, those demons will surely be subdued. We should remain calm at the temple gates and chant scriptures in support of the various Buddhas."

Under someone’s organization, countless disciples of the Buddhist Sect gathered at Mount Ling, chanting scriptures. The grand chanting sound began to echo around Mount Ling, the voices soaring to the skies and rendering Mount Ling even more majestic and sacred.

This scene spread in all directions and was immediately seen by countless monsters attacking Mount Ling.

However, these monsters had bloodshot eyes and showed no fear as they howled and charged toward Mount Ling, slaughtering every living creature in their path, which was incredibly cruel.

Behind these countless monsters were many people clad in black robes, each hiding their faces within their robes, making it impossible to recognize them.

One of them lifted his head and saw Mount Ling surrounded by chanting sounds and sighed, "After all, it is the Buddhist Sect, its foundation still intact, even in such circumstances, it still possesses such will."

"Unfortunately, you have already fallen into my trap, and this time you are definitely going to lose."

After saying this, he traced a mysterious path with his hands in the air, and an inexplicable power followed this mystical connection, enhancing the strength of the rampaging monsters by several degrees.

When the Buddhas arrived at the front lines and saw the brutal and bloody scene, the Buddhists living on the Xiniu Continent, who had been protected by the Buddhist Sect since childhood, had never seen such ferocity.

Now they were laying in pools of blood, continuously wailing, their limbs severed everywhere. Even the experienced Buddhas were shocked by the cruel and bloody scene before them.

"Monster, how dare you!" a Buddha instantly revealed his Buddhist Golden Body and angrily attacked the monsters.

These disciples were the base of the Buddhist Sect, and cultivating a devout Buddhist disciple took countless years, as they provided a continuous stream of the Power of Faith and supported the practice of the Buddhist Sect’s disciples.

Otherwise, what would the vast amount of disciples in Mount Ling eat or wear?

These despicable monsters were trying to sever the Buddhist Sect’s foundation.

His roar marked the beginning of a great battle, and the enraged Buddhas began to attack the monsters.

Each of them possessed vast divine skills, and their strikes immediately wreaked havoc among the monsters, with the monsters’ screams echoing throughout the Buddha Land.

However, the attack of the Buddhas did not scare the monsters; instead, it seemed to provoke their ferocity, as they fearlessly launched attacks.

"Something is wrong with these monsters!" Someone soon noticed the anomaly; it seemed like the monsters had been mentally controlled, transformed into mindless killing machines.

"Amitabha Buddha, good, good, those who are destined enter my Buddhist Sect!" a Buddha showed a giant Dharma Body, his body shining with Buddha’s Light, his voice booming through the sky, carrying a mysterious power.

This was the Buddhist Sect’s Way of Enlightenment, seeking to enlighten these mind-lost monsters into becoming disciples of the Sect.

"Yet another Way of Enlightenment, since I knew you had this technique, how could I not be prepared?" the man in the black robe chuckled softly as he watched the battle unfold.

The sound that penetrated the ears of the mind-lost monsters seemed to activate something, causing these monsters to choose to self-destruct immediately.

A horrifying power instantly swept the surroundings, and the self-destruction of countless monsters gave rise to a giant mushroom cloud above the land of Xiniu Continent, the terrifying and destructive force sweeping in all directions.

This was the killing move prepared by the man in the black robe; he had planted a seed in the hearts of these monsters early on, making them choose to self-destruct upon hearing the Way of Enlightenment.

Countless Buddhas were overwhelmed by this terrifying power, and the terrifying dust cloud obscured heaven and earth.

After a while, as the dust settled, the various Buddhas revealed their true forms, now completely lacking their prior composure, covered in fresh blood, some even severely mutilated by the incredible force of the explosion.
