Annihilation Jieyin

Clang!!

Before Zhunti and Jieyin had even reached Pangu Hall, its doors swung open.

The little prank of shutting Zhunti outside last time no longer had any meaning.

"Zhunti, weren't you beaten badly enough just now?"

"You really don't know when to quit, do you? You actually dared to come back!!"

"I wonder how many more acquired supreme treasures you have left to blow up?"

They saw Zhunti enter with a monk beside him, his face full of suffering.

Jieyin.

The other Sage of the West.

If Zhunti liked to keep the words, "Fellow Daoist, you have an affinity with the West," on his lips—

Then Jieyin was always chanting, "Amitabha."

"Benefactor, we two Western Saints have come. Please reconsider!!"

Jieyin spoke, and light surged around him.

Unlike Zhunti's Bodhi Light, Jieyin's was more like Jieyin Divine Light.

"Someone who forgot his roots just to become a Saint dares speak to the Witch Clan?"

In the Primordial World, one's origins mattered most.

Especially Yuanshi among the Three Pure Ones, who particularly looked down on the Western Two Saints.

Zhunti was still acceptable. He had been Primordial Geng Metal within the Western dragon veins.

Later, he attained the Dao beneath the Bodhi Tree.

But what about Jieyin?

He had originally been a lotus stamen from the Thirty-Six-Petaled Chaos Green Lotus.

On the day Pangu split Heaven and Earth, when the Thirty-Six-Petaled Chaos Green Lotus shattered, he absorbed a trace of its spirituality and entered the Primordial World, becoming the Primordial Spiritual Root Bitter Bamboo before eventually taking form.

At Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun bestowed the Twelfth-Grade Merit Golden Lotus upon him. To perfect his foundation, Jieyin left behind his original Primordial Bitter Bamboo under Zhunti's protection, merging his true spirit and Primordial Spirit into the Twelfth-Grade Merit Golden Lotus to cultivate anew. The Primordial Bitter Bamboo he left behind became the innate spiritual treasure Six Pure Roots Bamboo.

To thank Zhunti, he gave the Six Pure Roots Bamboo to him.

Later, Jieyin realized that under the Heavenly Dao, the twelve-grade lotus platform could not take form.

Thus, combining the Annihilation Great Dao with the merit of a Heavenly Dao Oath, he took form through three Merit Golden Lotus Seeds. The three seeds became three enormous sarira, so Jieyin could be considered a sarira that had taken form.

And the reason Dijiang dared curse Jieyin so openly was that he was narrow-minded.

It was one thing to abandon the Primordial Bitter Bamboo, but in the end, he had even lost that trace of Chaos Green Lotus spirituality.

Though he had become a Saint now, his face remained perpetually bitter.

"Shut up! Is a Saint's foundation something the likes of you can discuss?!"

The moment he heard his senior brother insulted, Zhunti immediately bristled.

There were two things in his faith.

The first was restoring the West.

The second was his senior brother, Jieyin.

Those two things were his reverse scales. Touch either one, and one would surely suffer his Saintly wrath.

"Zhunti, do you really think Pangu Hall has only this much power??"

As Dijiang spoke, Pangu Hall was like a colossal beast awakening from slumber.

An ancient, desolate power spread forth, and the entire space transformed into a battlefield.

It was a vast expanse of white, like space, yet not quite space.

"Senior Brother, be careful. This hall is rather strange!!"

Before coming here, Zhunti had already told Jieyin about how the Twelve Ancestor Witches could summon the Pangu Phantom.

But though Pangu Hall was mysterious, Zhunti had not paid it much attention at the time.

After all, all his focus had been on the Pangu Phantom. How could he have had the energy to worry about Pangu Hall?

"Kill!!"

The Twelve Ancestor Witches roared.

They all lunged forward, merging together like water.

After breaking through countless layers of air, the Pangu Phantom burst from the dust.

"Senior Brother, it's coming!!"

Zhunti knew how formidable the Pangu Phantom was.

So the moment he saw the Twelve Ancestor Witches act, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

The Eighteen-Handed, Twenty-Four-Headed Golden Body instantly enveloped him, and his shattered treasures re-formed.

Yet only three of them truly stood out.

They were the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, the Empowerment Vajra, and the Six Pure Roots Bamboo.

Zhunti had attained the Dao beneath the Bodhi Tree, eventually refining the object of his enlightenment into the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree.

The Empowerment Vajra had come from Treasure-Distributing Rock and could also be considered a gift from Hongjun.

As for the Six Pure Roots Bamboo, it had originally been Jieyin's true body before he gifted it to Zhunti.

With a Saint's full power, the vast golden radiance carried an indestructible force.

Bang!!!

But when the Pangu Phantom brought down its axe, Zhunti's golden body was forced back again and again.

Aside from the three great innate spiritual treasures, the other treasures could not hold on at all.

After a single blow, countless cracks had already appeared.

"It has become stronger—no, Pangu Hall is actually empowering the Pangu Phantom!!"

Zhunti's expression was filled with shock.

He had thought that during his last visit, he had already probed the Pangu Phantom's true capabilities.

Now that his senior brother Jieyin was with him, there should have been no problem.

But once they truly exchanged blows, he realized he had taken things too much for granted.

"Junior Brother, this hall can gather the power Pangu left scattered across the Primordial Wilderness. It is borrowing that power now!!"

Jieyin truly was a sarira transformed into human form.

He had studied the power of guidance quite deeply, and with a slight sense, he roughly understood Pangu Hall's ability.

"What?"

"Senior Brother, you aren't joking, are you??"

Zhunti stared at Jieyin in utter disbelief.

If Pangu Hall could draw in the power Pangu had left throughout the Primordial Wilderness, would it not be a miniature Pangu?

"This is no joking matter!!"

As Jieyin spoke, the suffering on his face became even more pronounced.

"Om, ma, ni, ba, mi, hum."

Shocked by Jieyin's words, Zhunti had no choice but to use the Six-Syllable Mantra to suppress his Dao heart.

"Annihilation Meditation Mat!!"

The six Saint seats before Purple Cloud Palace represented six seats.

The one assigned to Jieyin was the Annihilation Meditation Mat, which resembled his Annihilation Dao.

"Senior Brother, be careful! The meditation mat can't withstand this blow!!"

After Zhunti suffered a setback, Jieyin wanted to help.

But he actually used the meditation mat the moment he acted. Zhunti had already suffered from something similar before, and hurriedly tried to stop him.

Jieyin ignored him.

He was known as the leader of Mahayana Buddhism, yet what he cultivated was Annihilation Buddhist Law.

The meditation mat blossomed with endless Buddhist light.

This was Jieyin's Light, also known as Extinction Buddhist Light.

Rumble!!!

The phantom was temporarily blocked.

The sight left Zhunti dumbfounded.

He had also used the Ultimate Bliss Cushion to block it before, but it had not produced the slightest effect.

Yet Jieyin had succeeded now.

It seemed that Jieyin's Saint Realm was deeper than his own.

"As expected of the Extinction Law. Its power truly is formidable!!"

All three thousand laws could lead to the Great Dao.

But among the three thousand laws, some were stronger and some weaker.

The Extinction Law was one of the most outstanding among them.

"Amitabha, Benefactor, you have yielded!"

Jieyin wore his bitter expression.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a prayer bead shot straight toward the Pangu Phantom's chest.

"Heaven-Splitting!!"

The Pangu Phantom raised the phantom axe in its hand and cleaved at the prayer bead.

"Senior Brother!!"

The Annihilation Prayer Beads were one of Jieyin's protective treasures. Seeing one about to be shattered by the Heaven-Splitting Axe, Zhunti was greatly alarmed.

"Junior Brother, attack with everything you have!!"

Yet Jieyin showed no fear.

Screech.

The phantom axe struck the prayer bead, scattering countless sparks of law.

Within the prayer bead, a banner appeared.

The Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Banner!!!
