Meanwhile, the Great Brahma King asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to make a "life-saving rope" out of Willow Branch, so that she could rescue him if he was no match for her.

Guanyin Bodhisattva felt somewhat disgusted with Great Brahma King and was unwilling to take the Willow Branch, so she said:

"Great Brahma King, there's no need for such trouble. If anything goes wrong, simply call upon me, and I will flick my Willow Branch branch, tearing through the void. Great Brahma King can reach out and grab it, and I will bring you back."

Upon hearing this, Great Brahma King was relieved, and then went to the city gate and called out:

"Blood Sea Old Monster, you have gathered demons to wreak havoc, how many sins have you committed? Come out and face your death! Let us fight this between the two of us, without involving others!"

Upon hearing this, the Little Demon in the city rushed up to report, saying, "Third Great King, a four-headed Great King has come outside the city and is insulting you, even saying that you should come out of the Great King to face your death!"

Upon hearing this, the Green Lion angrily exclaimed, "What kind of monk is this? How dare he insult the Great King! Third Great King, send me out to confront him!"

Ao Tu said, "Don't underestimate your opponent."

Golden-Winged Great Peng said, "The Third Great King, a monk with four heads, I've never heard of him when I was at Spirit Mountain. I wonder where this nobody came from. Let's teach him a lesson, Big Brother!"

Ao Tu said, "Very well, go then."

So the Green Lion, carrying his Steel Saber, led a group of Little Demon out of the city gate. Once outside the city, the Green Lion saw the Great Brahma King and felt that he looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize him.

If it were Golden-Winged Great Peng, who was always Tathagata the Buddha's side, he would recognize it.

However, the Green Lion is the Mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva and rarely meets Great Brahma King, so it doesn't remember his appearance. In addition, Great Brahma King had one head knocked off by the Peacock, and his original five heads and four arms became four heads and four arms, making it even more difficult for the Green Lion to recognize him.

The Green Lion said, "How dare you, monk, shout and curse here!"

The Great Brahma King, "Are you the Blood Sea Old Monster?"

The Green Lion said, "I am the Green Lion Great King under the Great King's command. Killing you doesn't even require the Great King's intervention!"

Upon hearing this, Great Brahma King guessed that it was Manjushri Bodhisattva's Mount. Not wanting to get entangled with it, he said, "I've come to find the Blood Sea Old Monster. Tell him to come out!"

The Green Lion asked, "Why did you call my Great King out?"

The Great Brahma King, "The Blood Sea Old Monster has been acting perversely and causing chaos in the Western Heaven. I summoned him to be eliminated!"

The Green Lion sneered, "Where there's wind, there are waves; where there's no tide, the water is calm. If you Western Heaven hadn't first made enemies with my Great King, Second Great King, and Third Great King, why would my three Great King have sworn brotherhood and occupied Spirit Mountain! If you want my Great King to come out, first get the Tathagata out!"

Upon hearing this, Great Brahma King was furious. Although the Tathagata Buddha wanted to Eastern Migration, which clashed with his own beliefs, the Buddha was Tathagata the World-Honored One. How dare this Green Lion insult the World-Honored One like this? Wasn't it a blatant disrespect for the entire Buddhist Sect?

Great Brahma King then opened his mouth and unleashed a bolt of lightning.

The Green Lion raised his sword to parry, but was instantly cleaved to the ground, his body charred and his skin torn open. Terrified, he realized the Dispersed Soul and Scattered Spirit was no nobody and cried out, "Great King, save me! Great King, save me!"

Great Brahma King opened his mouth and unleashed another bolt of lightning.

The Blood Sea King appeared just in time, grabbed the lightning bolt, and threw it to Great Brahma King.

Seeing this, the Green Lion quickly used all four limbs to escape back into the city.

Great Brahma King and the Blood Sea King were locked in battle.

Ao Tu came out out of curiosity to watch, but seeing that it was just this nobody again, he lost interest and was about to go back when he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva among the the Monks, so he stopped in his tracks.

Guanyin Bodhisattva also saw Ao Tu and slightly furrowed her brow at Ao Tu.

When Ao Tu saw this, he knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva had something to say, so he arranged for the Blood Sea Incarnation to kill Great Brahma King, so as to disperse the the Monks and make it easier to speak with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

On the other side, Great Brahma King was fiercely battling the Blood Sea King, wielding two treasures.

Like Mahakala Bodhisattva, he is a deity Attainment of the Dao in the Western Sacred River and possesses three treasures.

One of them was a Sacred Pot, possessing the power to purify all things, which Ao Tu brushed away with his Five-Colored Divine Light.

The other two treasures are Buddhist Prayer Beads that can manipulate the flow of time in Heavenly Realms of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and a Lotus Flower that can create things within the Heavenly Deities.

For this reason, Great Brahma King is the head of the Twenty Heavenly Deities in the Buddhist Sect.

At this moment, Great Brahma King held Buddhist Prayer Beads in one hand to control time and a Lotus Flower in the other to control Creation, attacking the Blood Sea King.

The Blood Sea King stood still, his Ancestral Shaman Bloodline overwhelming his enemy with sheer force, unaffected by either time or Creation.

The two fought for a hundred rounds in the blink of an eye. The Great Brahma King used over a hundred Supernatural Ability and felt exhausted; the Blood Sea King was hit a hundred times and felt some redness and swelling in his chest.

At that moment, the True Body sent a thought, instructing him to kill this person.

The Blood Sea King then took out the Soul-Scattering Gourd and spewed out a vast expanse of Blood Fiend and endless Red Sand. The vast Blood Fiend extinguished the scorching sun, and the endless Red Sand filled the sky with crimson. Flesh and blood turned to ash, and even the remnant souls were scattered after death.

The Great Brahma King used his Buddhist Prayer Beads to block, and in an instant, time in all the Heavenly Deities was shattered, turning all the universes under the Great Brahma King's control into the realm of Red Sand, where all living beings vanished.

Fear gripped the Great Brahma King, who then used the Lotus Flower to block the attack. The Blood Fiend swept through, destroying all Creation, and the Lotus Flower withered amidst the malevolent aura.

The Great Brahma King was so frightened that he lost all will to fight and hurriedly said:

"Bodhisattva, save me! Bodhisattva, save me!"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva took out Yang Willow Branch from her Jade-Cleansing Bottle, raised her hand and flicked it out. The Willow Branch tore through the void and fell in front of the Great Brahma King.

Great Brahma King was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but he missed and fell to the ground.

It turned out that a section of the Willow Branch had been broken off by Ao Tu earlier, so it was now missing a piece, which is why Great Brahma King was unable to grasp it.

The Red Sand swirled in, instantly riddling one of Great Brahma King's heads with countless holes; the Blood Fiend swirled in, turning another of Great Brahma King's heads into pus.

Great Brahma King's Divine Soul was damaged, he could not distinguish north from south, east from west, he could not use his hands and feet, he could not stand up, his vision went black, and he fainted.

The Blood Sea King, wielding the Soul-Scattering Gourd, continued to spew Red Sand, attempting to kill the Great Brahma King.

Upon seeing this, the the Monks scattered and fled.

Guanyin Bodhisattva this, Primordial Chaos Bodhisattva unfurled the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner. A fine banner. "In the beginning of chaos, the subtle principles of creation were formed, originating in the Li Palace, the source of Creation."

With a wave of the banner, the Red Sand Blood Fiend were obscured, and the Great Brahma King was rolled up and thrown to the the Monks.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "I will hold off the Demon Dragon; you all must leave quickly."

Upon hearing this, the the Monks bowed in gratitude to Guanyin Bodhisattva for her great compassion, and then carried the Great Brahma King away.

Ao Tu's eyes lit up when he saw the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner. Too lazy to chase after those nameless soldiers, he summoned the Golden Bushel of Primordial Unity, spun it in the air, and went to retrieve the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner.

Upon seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva loosened her grip, and the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner was taken away.

After obtaining the Treasure Banner, Ao Tu went to subdue Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a magpie and flew away, Ao Tu transformed into a crow and gave chase.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a nightingale and flew away, Ao Tu transformed into Owl and chased after her.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a carp and swam away, Ao Tu transformed into a black carp and chased after her.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a white rabbit and fled, while Ao Tu transformed into a lynx and gave chase.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into Dragonfly and flew away, while Ao Tu transformed into a butterfly and chased after her.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a fisherwoman, Ao Tu transformed into a scholar.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into the Pearl Maiden, Ao Tu transformed into a boatman.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a lotus-picking girl, Ao Tu transformed into a merchant.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a washerwoman, and Ao Tu became a scoundrel.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a woodcutter, Ao Tu became the mountain lord.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a farmer, Ao Tu became a landlord.

In the blink of an eye, the two made countless changes and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a peasant woman again, Ao Tu refused to transform with her and appeared in person, smiling, "Now that there is no one else around, what is it that you wish to tell me, Teacher?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva, however, seemed to have gotten used to it, picking up a hoe and digging in the Earthly Way, saying, "When will I have something to tell you!"

Ao Tu stepped forward, took the hoe and helped her hoe, and said with a smile:

"Teacher, you change your ways countless times, isn't it just to avoid being seen by others? Please tell me what you need to teach me!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "Do you know whose Treasure Banner it is?"

Ao Tu said, "I saw it by the Alchemy Furnace in the Tushita Palace. I think it was the Southern Earth-Leaving Flame-Light Banner of the Supreme Dao Ancestor!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and said, "You are truly audacious, daring to trespass into the Tushita Palace! Since you knew it belonged to the Supreme Dao Ancestor, how dare you still take it?"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "Didn't the Teacher deliver it to me?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at Ao Tu after hearing this, and then sat down on the ridge of the field.

Ao Tu then put down his hoe, sat down beside him, and asked with a smile, "What is it that requires such a great deal of effort from Teacher?"

Upon Guanyin Bodhisattva was so angry that she struck Ao Tu three times. Not satisfied, she struck him three more times and said:

"You Demon Dragon, usually so clever, what's wrong with you now? The Supreme Dao Ancestor has already lent the Treasure Banner to the Western Heaven, why don't you retreat? Do you insist on defying Heaven and courting your own death?"
