Chapter 487

"Blazing Glaze, Sattva Enters Nirvana!"

"All spirits gather, the spirit platform is sealed!"

Faming Law Seals with his hands, and a golden lotus flower appeared in front of him. Under the blessing of the Seven Buddhas Sin-Eradicating Demon-Subduing Formation, his Buddhist Power increased several times over, and he prepared to meet the attack.

Even though the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King was suppressed by the formation, his Foundation was still superior. With a palm strike, endless waves of flames burned the golden lotus and broke through the thick Buddhist radiance. Accompanied by rolling heat waves, his scorching palm reached towards Faming's head.

"Nine Suns Return to One, the Great Sun Soars into the Firmament!"

Fazhao promptly thrust his palm horizontally, unleashing a dazzling light that filled the sky and earth, like the rising sun, scorching hot. With the same attribute, he dispelled the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King's fiery energy, withstood the powerful palm strike, and stood firmly in place.

Faming Fazhao fellow disciples who entered the sect on the same day. They regarded each other as close friends and rivals in cultivation. Having walked together for fifty years, they had long since developed a tacit understanding. One of them practiced the "Shi Moon Dharma Scripture" and the other practiced the "Chan Sun Martial Scripture". When their martial arts were combined, their power could be multiplied.

The two joined forces to fight against the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, preventing him from harming his companions. Xilai seized the opportunity to attack, solemnly raising one hand to his chest, surrounded by a bright golden glow that radiated a radiant light.

"The Tathagata Great Compassion Palm!"

The imposing Buddha figure stood tall and majestic, its grand form embodying the subjugation of demons. A massive palm descended upon him, and the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King raised his hand to catch it, but he could not withstand the force and was forced back half a step, marking his first retreat since the start of the battle.

The other four monks pressed their advantage, unleashing a barrage of Buddhist School. With the support of the formation, each of them possessed cultivation surpassing that of ordinary Grandmaster. Even the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King could not ignore them and was forced to struggle to keep up. Meanwhile, the three monks, Faming, Fazhao, Xilai, took the opportunity to rest, gather their strength, and prepare for an even stronger attack.

The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King channeled his inner energy, unleashing powerful currents from every acupoint, cascading like a celestial river, forcefully repelling the four attacking monks. He then exhaled and said, "Fanan, I saved your life years ago and even kept the secret of your Faye in the death of the previous abbot, allowing you to successfully succeed as the abbot of the Repentance Hall. Where is your gratitude?"

By revealing the identity of the inside man at this crucial moment, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King had two intentions. If Fanan to betray him on the spot, that would be fine. But if he was not, the other monks would become suspicious upon hearing of his crimes. Even if they didn't fight each other on the spot, they would at least be on guard. The Seven Buddhas Sin-Eradicating Demon-Subduing Formation required the cooperation of the seven people to achieve its full effect. Once a rift developed and their tacit understanding was lost, the power of the formation would plummet, and he would be able to take the opportunity to escape.

However, after the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King revealed such a shocking secret, the seven monks remained calm and unaffected. The Seven Buddhas Sin-Eradicating Demon-Subduing Formation continued to work, with lotus flowers blooming everywhere, dispelling the Power of Anomalies.

"Oh? It seems you've made preparations."

Realizing the situation had changed unexpectedly, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King's heart sank. He knew something must have gone wrong. At that moment, Faming Fazhao unleashed their palms simultaneously, their Buddhist energy surging and cleansing the Anomalies body. He caught the attack with his palm, and although he didn't stumble back even a step, the ground beneath his feet cracked and a pit appeared.

At the same time, Xilai absorbed the vital energy, his Glazed Pure Body absorbing the Buddhist energy within the formation as if unrestricted, completely breaking through the limits of his own Cultivation Body, infinitely approaching the level of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King. Behind him, the Glazed Medicine Master Light Tathagata appeared, his hands Law Seals towards the sky, his fingers condensing a bright white light, with lightning flashing.

"Lightning Tribulation Finger!"

The Commentary on the Commentary on the Medicine Buddha Sutra states: Countless eons ago, when the five defilements and obstacles of this Saha world were as heavy as mine, a Buddha appeared in the world, named "Lightning Tathagata," and taught the three vehicles to sentient beings.

Pure Buddhist Power condensed at his fingertips and shot out like thunder. Fazhao Faming, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King had no time to extricate himself. So, a vertical eye appeared between his eyebrows and shot out Depleting Divine Light.

The divine light, which stripped away life and annihilated spiritual energy, shone on the Buddha's finger. Although it successfully reduced the Buddha's essence, the Primal Qi of this finger was highly condensed, as if it had solidified into a diamond. One layer was peeled off, but another layer appeared. In the end, only 20% of the energy was absorbed by the Depleting Divine Light. The remaining 80% of the power slammed into the chest of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, instantly piercing through his back and bringing out a spray of blood, which gushed out like a spring.

Fazhao, Faming each struck out with their palms again, hitting the Spirit King in the chest, knocking him back and inflicting new injuries.

"Great fingering!"

The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King retreated several steps, feeling the Buddhist energy raging within his body, preventing his physical body from recovering, and lightning flashing, paralyzing his Cultivation Body.

Xilai waved the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "This finger was created specifically to break your Depleting Divine Light."

The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King turned his gaze to Fanan, Fanan eyes remained calm as he said, "Before setting off, I informed the abbot and my fellow disciples of this matter, frankly admitting my sins from back then. I was blinded by greed and failed to resist temptation, leading me to commit an irreparable mistake—but how can one mistake be repeated! I do not seek forgiveness, but only a chance to atone for my past transgressions. If I am alive to return today, I will commit suicide at the grave of my senior brother Faye, to atone for even a fraction of my past sins."

The other five monks of the Fa generation said in unison, "Excellent, excellent! The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore."

Upon hearing this, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King burst into laughter. "Very well! You used a spy to learn of my actions, cooperated with the Azure Mysterious Corpse King to wait for me to come to you, set up the Double Buddha Formation, and at the same time removed my pawns. It seems you really went to great lengths to kill me here. In that case, you must have found my granddaughter, right?"

The seven monks did not answer, but they knew perfectly well that there was no need to hide this matter, and in the end they would have to ask Hongdou to deliver the final blow.

Then, within the Buddhist formation, a giant golden lotus slowly bloomed, and Hongdou, dressed in a white black robe, stepped out. Her Formless Dharma Robe could protect her from harm within the Buddhist formation.

The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King looked at Hongdou and said, "My own granddaughter, blood is thicker than water. Are you going to raise a butcher's knife against your own blood relative because of the deceitful words of a group of outsiders?"

Hongdou met his gaze calmly without flinching, saying, "In your eyes, Grandpa, all I see is a scene of Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood. The world you depict is not a peaceful one. I hate this way of painting. Grandpa, can you put down your paintbrush? I don't like the color of blood."

"Ha, one general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. My path will be paved with Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood. No one can stop me. My granddaughter, it seems you're determined to aid Buddha in his evil ways!"

After laughing, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King looked at the seven monks again. "You've even gathered the last fragment. It's truly a perfect scheme. But can a good scheme really have a good outcome?"

The seven monks remained silent, each gathering their inner energy and activating their power, working in conjunction with the Seven Buddhas Sin-Eradicating Demon-Subduing Formation to continuously enhance their Cultivation Body, disregarding the limits of their physical bodies. At this stage, their convictions were beyond the reach of words, and even if Yama himself were before them, they would not hesitate for a moment.

"The Blazing Glaze, and the Buddha enters Nirvana!"

"Nine Suns Return to One, Formless Tathagata!"

The four monks poured all their cultivation into Faming Fazhao, helping them activate the supreme technique of Glazed Temple. Instantly, brilliant golden light emanated from their bodies, and the two Buddhas, the sun and the moon, stood side by side, illuminating the palace as if it were daytime. Even the Seven Stars Palace could not block the dazzling and extremely bright Buddha light. Even from a hundred miles away, a pure and holy light could be seen soaring into the sky.

"Brahma Finger to the South of Heaven!"

The Xilai Journey Finger Technique is based on the same principle as the previous Lightning Tribulation Finger Technique, but with a different move. It is designed to secretly observe the Spirit King's weaknesses, seize the initiative, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and create an advantage for the upcoming ultimate move duel.

Outside the Seven Buddhas Sin-Eradicating Demon-Subduing Formation, the Azure Mysterious Corpse King had finished gathering his power. With a wave of his hands, a raging torrent of evil waves rose into the sky, working in conjunction with the seven monks to completely seal off the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King's retreat.

"Heavenly Nether Blazing Splendor!"

Hongdou, standing to the side, was completely focused, simultaneously activating the power she inherited from her mother, waiting for the opportune moment to deliver the final blow.

Outside the Arhat Demon-Subduing Formation, even though the monsters couldn't see the battle inside, the dense primordial Primal Qi, almost like a liquid sea with undulating waves, and the holy pillar of Buddha light that seemed to pierce the clouds, made it clear even to a blind man that the most intense battle must be taking place inside the formation.

"Countless Demonic Calamities Deliver the Tathagata!"

Si Ming raised the Glazed Precept-Breaking Saber high, its Blood Sha Qi condensing into a giant blade. It seemed as if he was desperate and about to use all his strength to break through the Arhat Demon-Subduing Formation and rescue the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, but in reality, he was preparing to deliver the final blow at any moment.

At the same time, he circulated the Asura Divine Power and the Vajra Demon-Subduing Power within his body, intending to force the two powers to merge in case of an emergency, even if it meant inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.

Within the Buddhist formation, four powerful attacks were upon him, and the chance of resurrection from a blood relative had been severed. The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King faced an unprecedented peril, but he remained calm and composed, maintaining his kingly demeanor. He gathered endless evil energy in his palm, accumulating sins into a pillar, breaking through the suppression of the Buddhist formation, transforming into a pitch-black demonic shadow, standing tall between heaven and earth, confronting the Sun and Moon Buddhas, and not at a disadvantage.

"All deeds accumulate sin, and the Karmic Fire Burns the World!"

The evil energy transformed into a torrent of fire, spreading in all directions with unstoppable ferocity, leaving only charred ashes in its wake, devoid of any life. The pure, holy golden lotus descended from the sky; an extreme conflict was about to erupt, and a sudden change occurred—
