The Great Joy Buddha! (4K)

"You can't kill me! Otherwise you'll be in big trouble!"

The Venerable Formless was brutally beaten by Dugu Aotian, and he screamed repeatedly.

If he doesn't beg for mercy, he will be beaten to death by Dugu Aotian.

The usually aloof and dignified venerable one was brutally beaten by a stranger who practiced Devil Cultivation Method, a truly humiliating defeat.

"If you reveal your identity to the people of the White River Kingdom, I may spare your life."

"Okay, okay."

The Venerable Formless didn't care about saving face; compared to his own life, face was nothing.

Dugu Aotian stopped, Venerable Formless had no choice but to speak under Dugu Aotian's supervision, "That's right, I am Nan Tianba, who was Changliu Holy Land three million years ago."

Wow.

The believers of the White River Kingdom were in an uproar.

The revered figure they worshipped, who had squandered their entire fortune, turned out to be none other than the notorious thief Nan Tianba.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Some believers suffered a mental breakdown on the spot, nearly going insane.

"Tell me all the evil deeds you've committed over the years, or I won't let you go."

"Yes, yes."

"These young boys and girls are materials for my training, and the donated treasures will all be divided among us, with a large portion going to tribute... I'm just Xiuzhenzhe at the Immortal Emperor Realm, how could I possibly allow mortals to reincarnate and be reborn into a good family?"

The Venerable Formless had no choice but to tell the truth.

He deceived us!

Kill him!

Some of the believers, having regained their senses, became angry.

They gave away all their wealth and burned incense and made offerings day and night, hoping for blessings in the next life, only to find out from the beginning that it was all a scam.

"Get lost."

After the Venerable Formless confessed, Dugu Aotian let him leave.

Thank you.

Venerable Formless quickly transformed into a golden ray of light and fled the White River Kingdom.

"Aotian, why don't you kill him?"

Liu Yiyi was puzzled.

This doesn't seem like Dugu Aotian's style.

"The reason he's Changliu Holy Land and still dares to act recklessly in the White River Kingdom is most likely because he has powerful backers. In other words, he's not the real mastermind. I let him go so I could follow the trail. After suffering such a calamity, he'll definitely seek out his backers to protect himself. Let's go with him."

"I see."

"But before they leave, these people must die."

Dugu Aotian drew the High Antiquity Demon Soldier "Yuantu".

High Antiquity Demon Soldiers slashed across the ground with black lines, and the Guardian and holy messengers of the Land of Ultimate Bliss suffered cracks on their necks as heads rolled away.

The Blood Qi of these people was also absorbed by the Demon Soldiers and Dugu Aotian.

The believers were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, their faces turning pale.

Subsequently, Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi secretly followed Venerable Formless to continue investigating the person behind the scenes, leaving the others stunned.

"The direction in which Venerable Formless fled seems to be the territory of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

Liu Yiyi recognized the direction in which Venerable Formless had fled, and where it led.

"I had heard my master say long ago that Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is a den of iniquity and does unclean things in secret, and its atmosphere is far worse than other Buddhist Sect Holy Land like Sumeru Mountain. But as long as Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple doesn't cause trouble in the open, the other Holy Land won't touch it."

Dugu Aotian's expression was solemn.

The investigation into the Land of Ultimate Bliss led them to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng also developed a grudge against the Great Freedom Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Should we continue the investigation?

"If the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is the mastermind, and we find evidence in the White River Kingdom, even if we harm one or two Buddhas at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, they won't dare say anything."

Dugu Aotian harbored murderous intent.

The White River Kingdom has become a living Purgatory, and it's no exaggeration to say that the person behind it all deserved to be killed.

"Um."

Liu Yiyi followed Dugu Aotian and continued to track down the Venerable Formless.

Venerable Formless did not go directly to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, where there were countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats. If Venerable Formless had gone there, Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi would have had no choice but to give up.

Dugu Aotian is the son of the Demon Marshal, and based on this reason, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple can also kill him.

The Demon Venerable Wuxiang fled to a sacred mountain within the territory of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

"This place should be Yejia Mountain, the Dao Field of the Buddha of Great Joy Buddha."

As the Yaochi Saintess, Liu Yiyi is familiar with all the mountain ranges and Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land Immortal Realm.

The Buddhas of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple each have their Dao Field, and this Yejia Mountain is the Dao Field of the Great Joy Buddha.

So, the matter is clear— the Great Joy Buddha is Nan Tianba's backer, and most of the treasures and young boys and girls that Nan Tianba collects in the White River Kingdom are to be offered as tribute to Yejia Mountain.

"Aotian, this Great Joy Buddha is no simple man. This is his Dao Field, and he has many disciples. If we intrude here, we're probably no match for him."

Liu Yiyi was quite wary of the Great Joy Buddha at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Some of the Buddhas at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple are stronger than Lu Changsheng and Liu Mufeng; even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be a match for the Great Joy Buddha.

"I only regret that my skills are insufficient, otherwise I would have surely wiped out Yejia Mountain."

Dugu Aotian shook his head, knowing that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, and could only temporarily abandon the investigation into the White River Kingdom.

This time, however, the Great Joy Buddha abandoned the investigation, killed Nan Tianba, and erased all clues, so he had no reason to take action in the future.

"Yejia Mountain has committed these evil deeds, and despite his meticulous planning, there will surely be a loophole in his plans later."

Liu Yiyi could only comfort Dugu Aotian.

The two left Yejia Mountain and rested at an abandoned ancient temple along the way.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended, and the two people who were meditating immediately opened their eyes.

"Hahaha, don't think I don't know you deliberately let me go so you could follow the trail! I, Nan Tianba, escaped the pursuit of the Changliu Holy Land not because of my cultivation, but because of my intellect!"

Nan Tianba reappeared, this time full of vigor and high spirits.

He was brutally beaten by Dugu Aotian in front of the believers of the White River Kingdom, and he hated Dugu Aotian to the core. Finally, he could take revenge.

"Amitabha. You two have ruined my plans, and you think you can just leave so easily?"

Beside Nan Tianba, a lotus platform appeared, and a Buddha sat cross-legged on it, coldly scrutinizing Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi.

"So you're the Great Joy Buddha? You had Nan Tianba transform into the Venerable Formless to preach in the White River Kingdom, both to amass treasures and to gather the All Beings' Power of Faith. You even had Nan Tianba offer up young boys and girls for you to cultivate your Devil Cultivation Method. Am I right?"

Dugu Aotian exposed the hypocrisy of the Great Joy Buddha.

The Great Joy Buddha's face turned ashen. "What I cultivate is the Supreme Blissful Emptiness Dual Cultivation Great Dao; how could a mortal like you possibly comprehend it?"

"Pah! Pretentious nonsense, hypocritical."

Liu Yiyi stood on Dugu Aotian's side and also saw through the hypocritical nature of the Great Joy Buddha.

Every year, Nan Tianba would recruit young boys and girls in the White River Kingdom and offer them to the Great Joy Buddha. The Great Joy Buddha's cultivation was definitely not righteous, otherwise Nan Tianba wouldn't need to help him secretly.

Nan Tianba fanned the flames from the side, saying, "I think those two are courting death, daring to offend you. Please take action and eliminate them."

The Great Joy Buddha's gaze fell on Liu Yiyi, and the scrutinizing look made Liu Yiyi very uncomfortable. "Since you have ruined my plans, as compensation, this woman will stay and cultivate the Blissful Emptiness Dual Cultivation Divine Skill with me."

"I am the Yaochi Saintess, we of Yaochi have nothing to fear from your Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

"So you're from Yaochi."

The Great Joy Buddha's eyes sharpened.

Even Nan Tianba's pupils dilated in shock.

The Yaochi Holy Mother has always been protective of her own. When the previous Yaochi Saintess was kidnapped to the Demonic Fall, the Yaochi Holy Mother dared to Demonic Fall to rescue her beloved disciple.

If the Yaochi Holy Mother finds out that they have offended the Yaochi Saintess, she will definitely come knocking on their door.

"Aotian, let's go."

Liu Yiyi had no choice but to reveal her identity in order to leave smoothly.

"Wait. If you think you can leave like this, you are greatly underestimating this Buddha."

The Great Joy Buddha sneered.

Do you want to offend our Yaochi?

"If I capture both of you at the same time, how will Yaochi know that it was I who did it?"

The Great Joy Buddha spread out his right hand, and a string of Prayer Beads scattered. The golden prayer Buddhist Prayer Beads flew in all directions, forming a golden Dharma realm, trapping Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi within the Barrier.

"You've gone too far!"

Liu Yiyi never expected that the Great Joy Buddha would still dare to attack her after knowing she was the Yaochi Saintess.

"Within the Three Realms, the strong prey on the weak; nothing is impossible."

Once the Great Joy Buddha was determined to win over Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi, he had nothing left to worry about.

"Yiyi, I'll attack head-on later. You seize the opportunity to break the Barrier and escape back to Yaochi."

Dugu Aotian knew this hurdle would be difficult to overcome, but he could only do his best to hold off the Great Joy Buddha and allow Liu Yiyi to escape.

Liu Yiyi couldn't bear to leave. "But Aotian, if you stay, you'll die..."

"Rather than both of them suffering, it's better for one to escape and take revenge later. Hurry up and go."

Wielding the High Antiquity Demon Soldier "Yuantu," Dugu Aotian, without allowing Liu Yiyi any room for argument, single-handedly attacked the Great Joy Buddha.

"Nine Heaven-Slaying Swords!"

The Devil Qi of the Yuantu Demon Soldier surged, and with a sharp sword intent, it thrust towards the Great Joy Buddha.

"The Beginningless Bell Qi!"

The Great Joy Buddha formed a hand seal, and a golden bell protected him, making it impossible for Dugu Aotian's demonic Demon Sword to pierce through.

Dugu Aotian unleashed a series of sword strikes, but he was unable to break through the Great Joy Buddha's defenses.

The Devil Qi was suppressed by the Buddha Light, Dugu Aotian's Cultivation Method was not running smoothly.

"You are merely Immortal Emperor Realm, while I am Ninth-Grade God King. Furthermore, Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method counteract your Devil Qi. How can you possibly contend with me?"

The Great Joy Buddha easily suppressed Dugu Aotian.

His handprint changed, and he slapped towards Dugu Aotian.

"Nine Lion Seal!"

The mark transformed into a nine-headed lion, which pounced on Dugu Aotian.

Dugu Aotian drew his sword, attempting to dissolve the giant handprints one by one. One golden lion after another was broken, but he still couldn't stop them all, and was eventually struck by one of them.

"Puff."

Dugu Aotian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This palm strike contains Buddhist teachings and the power of the Cangsheng Yuan, thus restraining the Demon Sects Cultivation Method.

Dugu Aotian was already a whole realm weaker than his opponent, and was also countered by his opponent's Cultivation Method, putting his life in danger at any moment.

"Great Demon-Suppressing Palm!"

The Great Joy Buddha's attack came again, his palm transforming into a sky-covering, all-encompassing ruler, striking down at Dugu Aotian, intending to wipe out this troublesome fellow in one fell swoop.

Despite his best efforts, Dugu Aotian could not withstand the fall of the Emperor's Palm, and his body sank little by little.

"The Clouds Part, Moon Appears!"

Liu Yiyi, wielding her Immortal Sword, thrust it at the Great Joy Buddha from the side, thus relieving Dugu Aotian from his predicament.

"Great Vajra Finger!"

The powerful finger strike of the Great Joy Buddha deflected Liu Yiyi's Long Sword.

However, due to Liu Yiyi's intervention, Dugu Aotian successfully escaped before the fall of the kingdom.

"Yiyi, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Although Dugu Aotian escaped a calamity, Liu Yiyi did not leave. Instead, she chose to join forces with Dugu Aotian.

Liu Yiyi smiled resolutely, "What's the use of revenge if you die? It's better to live and die together. Even if we self-destruct together, we'll die without regret."

"Yiyi..."

There was a hint of tenderness in Dugu Aotian's eyes.

From this moment on, he resolved to protect this woman.

"Hmph, stubborn resistance. Wuxiang Divine Palm!"

The Great Joy Buddha unleashed his full power, his palm strikes continuous and relentless, each strike containing overwhelming force, capable of destroying everything in its path.

Even with Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi joining forces, they were still at a disadvantage.

"Iron Finger Chan Force!"

The Great Joy Buddha's finger force pierced through Dugu Aotian's demonic body multiple times.

Dugu Aotian's body was riddled with wounds.

Even though Dugu Aotian's Devil Qi could repair his demonic body, it could not withstand repeated severe injuries.

"Is self-destruction the only option?"

Dugu Aotian originally planned to severely injure the Great Joy Buddha by self-destructing, thereby breaking the Barrier and giving Liu Yiyi a chance to escape.

As a result, Liu Yiyi chose to stay. If she were to expose herself, Liu Yiyi would be affected as well.

"Let's do it together."

Liu Yiyi saw through Dugu Aotian 'Dugu Aotian thoughts and decided to die with him. Before their deaths, the two of them self-destructed, enough to kill the Great Joy Buddha.

"Hmm? Trying to self-destruct? That won't be that easy."

The Great Joy Buddha struck Liu Yiyi with another palm.

Liu Yiyi used her sword to control her inner energy, cleaving through the palm force of the Great Joy Buddha.

Bang!

The moment the palm force dissipated, the powder scattered.

"Not good!"

Liu Yiyi hadn't expected the Great Joy Buddha to use poison; she had already inhaled some of the powder.

Liu Yiyi's breathing quickened, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes gradually became hazy.

What did you do to Yiyi?

Dugu Aotian noticed that something was wrong with Liu Yiyi.

The Great Joy Buddha sneered, "This is Poison I specially prepared for virtuous women. Once poisoned, desire will overcome reason, and they will not even be able to commit suicide. They can only obediently cultivate the Supreme Bliss and Emptiness Dual-Cultivation Divine Skill with me."

I'm going to kill you!

Enraged, Dugu Aotian wielded the High Antiquity Demon Soldier Yuantu and attacked the Great Joy Buddha once more.

This time, Dugu Aotian poured all his True Qi into the Demon Sword.

The Yuantu Demon Sword trembled, becoming invincible.

Even the protective golden bell of the Great Joy Buddha was pierced with a gap, and the Demon Sword even came close to the Great Joy Buddha, only an inch away from the Great Joy Buddha's brow.

Sweat beaded on the forehead of the Great Joy Buddha; he was terrified.

Bang!

The Buddha Light from the Great Joy Buddha sent Dugu Aotian flying.

"Die!"

"Nine Lion Seal!"

The Great Joy Buddha's handprint, which had startled him, struck Dugu Aotian Dugu Aotian more, sending him flying Hundred Zhangs and crashing into the ancient temple.

"His aura has weakened to the extreme. Heh heh, to oppose the Great Joy Buddha, he's truly overestimating himself."

Nan Tianba watched the show from the sidelines, and seeing Dugu Aotian being crushed by the Great Joy Buddha, he was overjoyed that his great revenge had been achieved.

"Yiyi..."

Dugu Aotian lay amidst the ruins, his entire body wracked with pain, his Devil Qi depleted to its limit.

Darkness descended.

Dugu Aotian knew he absolutely could not fall at this moment.

Once he falls, Liu Yiyi will become a plaything for Great Joy Buddha Nan Tianba.

Dugu Aotian clenched his fist, piercing his palm with his fingernails, letting the pain keep him from losing his last shred of sanity.

He was unwilling to accept it.

Besides his mother, he now has someone else to protect.

To save people, he willingly fell into the endless Demonic Dao.

What Great Joy Buddha Nan Tianba didn't notice was that Dugu Aotian's pupils, as he gazed at the Firmament, gradually turned blood red, and his heart pounded faster...

"I'll teach you a Swordsmanship. You'd better memorize it. If you forget it, you'll be punished by not eating for three days."

The voice of Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian echoed in Dugu Aotian's mind.

In the courtyard, a little boy stood in a horse stance, watching his strict father teach him Swordsmanship, not daring to miss a single move.

"This Swordsmanship is called 'Destroy Heaven'."
