Tiger Vanguard went into battle but was struck head-on by a hammer, his skull split open.

The other demons, seeing this, were terrified and quickly retreated back into the great formation.

The White Bone Spirit grabbed Tiger Vanguard, intending to bring him back to the formation.

Taking advantage of the moment, a Horse-Head Arhat struck with a meteor hammer, hitting the White Bone Spirit White Bone Spirit and creating eighty-eight holes in her body. The White Bone Spirit's hand was broken and fell to the ground, thus losing Tiger Vanguard.

The demons quickly pulled the White Bone Spirit back.

Several Spider Demon spat out Silver Threads, which stuck to Tiger Vanguard Tiger Vanguard pulled him back. Then they tried to pull back the White Bone Spirit's fallen arm. Seeing this, the Horse-Head Arhat ran forward, bit off the White Bone Spirit's fallen arm, and ate it.

Ignoring the pain of her severed arm, the White Bone Spirit went to check on Tiger Vanguard's injuries, only to find that Tiger Vanguard had not uttered any last words and had been dead for some time.

Ao Tu already knew of Tiger Vanguard's death, as Tiger Vanguard's soul had been automatically collected into the Soul-Scattering Gourd.

The demons knelt and cried out, "Your Great King, those monks outside the formation are blocking our way and preventing us from leaving. Tiger Vanguard has been killed by them!"

Ao Tu was also saddened. He manipulated the Pangu Phantom, wielding Giant Axe, and attacked the Vishnu Bodhisattva and the others.

Amitabha Buddha blocked the way with Green Lotus.

Ao Tu attacked several times but could not break through the Green Lotus; instead, he severely depleted his own blood and energy. Vishnu Bodhisattva and the others had already taken the opportunity to escape back behind Amitabha Buddha and hide.

Upon seeing this, the demons all offered their own blood and energy to Ao Tu.

Ao Tu's malevolent Evil Qi intensified.

The demons had already sacrificed a great deal of their blood and energy; any further sacrifices would be like a drop in the ocean. Even in their anger and dire straits, they could not conjure up blood and energy out of thin air.

Ao Tu struck several more times with his axe, but still could not move Amitabha Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha's robes did not even sway from beginning to end.

The power of Sage is enough to inspire despair.

The demons had almost completely exhausted their life force; their bodies were shriveled, and their skin clung to their bones.

Ao Tu himself was the same; his skin was still attached to his bones, and his once handsome appearance had now turned into a terrifying skeleton.

The Pangu Phantom was panting heavily, kneeling on the ground.

Ao Tu looked at the panting Pangu statue, his expression constantly shifting.

Amitabha Buddha said, "The Buddha is a compassionate being and does not take advantage of others in their time of need. Please come with me back to the Western Heaven."

Ao Tu said, "Hand over those monks behind you before you say anything more."

Amitabha Buddha sighed, "Fellow Daoist, your insistence on your own way will only lead to your demise."

Ao Tu listened without a second thought, his gaze leaving the Pangu Phantom, turning to look at the Vishnu Bodhisattva of Universal Enlightenment and others behind Amitabha Buddha, and Earthly Way, word by word, "Old monk, I'll kill them first, then protect the demons as they retreat, and then I'll retreat."

When he uttered these words, Ao Tu exuded Evil Qi, causing the Vishnu Bodhisattva and the others to tremble with fear. They all knelt behind Amitabha Buddha, not daring to raise their heads.

Amitabha Buddha shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too angry."

Ao Tu ignored it and forcibly activated the Formation, consuming his own blood and bones, causing his body to become even more depleted.

Upon seeing this, the demons wept and said, "Great King, if you die, we will have no way to survive either. Please sacrifice our lives first!"

Some Demon wept and said, "Your Great King, as long as we live, we can always fight again. If we cannot win now, let us seek refuge with the Buddhist Sect!"

Ao Tu ignored both of these statements, and simply used all his own blood and essence to replenish the Formation.

At that moment, a hand reached out, and blood fell into Ao Tu's already shriveled mouth.

Ao Tu laughed and said, "Teacher, you don't really need to help me."

Because his skin and flesh were withered, Ao Tu's smile resembled that of a skeleton, making him extremely terrifying and ugly.

Blood dripped continuously from Guanyin Bodhisattva's warm palm. Each drop of blood had undergone countless eons of Great Calamity and was better than any Immortal Medicine of Golden Elixir.

Although Guanyin Bodhisattva has not outwardly entered the Great Luo, her divine body, cultivated over countless eons, has already surpassed that of ordinary Great Luo, and is in no way inferior to even the Tathagata Buddha.

Upon Vishnu Bodhisattva and others sternly rebuked them:

"Miaoshan, how dare you collude with the Demon Dragon!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said coldly, "I used my own body to convert Ao Tu. You are full of the five poisons, how can you understand my Buddhist Dharma?"

Amitabha Buddha praised, "Bodhisattva is truly a great benefactor of our Buddhist Sect!"

At this moment, two more streams of blood energy came from behind and merged into Ao Tu's body. Although they did not show themselves, Ao Tu knew that they were the blood energy of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Immediately afterwards, two more streams of blood energy quietly descended, the blood energy of Wukong and Bajie.

Ao Tu felt helpless.

After Tiger Vanguard's death, he was indeed furious, which caused a severe depletion of his vital energy.

But it was at that moment that he unexpectedly witnessed Pangu breathing heavily.

Previously, Ao Tu had used the power of Pangu to return to the beginning of Creation of Heaven and witness Pangu Creation of Heaven, thus severing the Good Corpse.

However, Ao Tu's cultivation level was too low at that time. Although he witnessed the great opportunity of Pangu Creation of Heaven, he failed to comprehend much of it.

At this moment, the Pangu Phantom, which reminded Ao Tu of the process of Pangu Creation of Heaven.

When the Great God Pangu Creation of Heaven, he suppressed the Three Thousand Great Daos with his own strength, and he was once exhausted and out of breath.

Ao Tu observed the changes that Creation of Heaven, and from these two observations, he comprehended a unique Opening Heaven Supernatural Ability.

Therefore, Ao Tu deliberately put himself in a state of exhaustion, in order to emulate the Great God Pangu and prepare to show Amitabha Buddha his skills.

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others then restored his depleted life force.

Ao Tu couldn't refuse her kindness, so he gently took her hand in his mouth and absorbed half of her vital energy.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face was slightly pale.

Ao Tu gently placed her hand down, stopping the bleeding, and said, "Teacher, it's alright, you don't need to worry about me anymore."

After saying this, he once again manipulated the great formation and attacked Amitabha Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha continued to conceal himself with the Green Lotus, Sarira emitted a sky full of White Rainbow, Axe Light could not penetrate.

After watching for a while, despair gradually crept into the eyes of the demons, who then knelt down on the ground.

Vishnu Bodhisattva and the others saw that the Demon Dragon could not break through Amitabha Buddha's Supernatural Ability, they were overjoyed and no longer afraid. They waited for the Demon Dragon to exhaust its strength before they all stepped forward and captured it.

In the blink of an eye, another 1,600 moves had passed. Ao Tu was exhausted once again, his vital energy depleted. Unable to maintain his human form, he transformed into a nine-foot-nine-inch-long, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and fell from the sky.

The Pangu Phantom also swayed precariously.

Vishnu Bodhisattva and the others saw this, they were overjoyed and rushed forward to capture the Demon Dragon.

Ao Tu was overjoyed when he saw this.

How similar this situation is!

In the past, the Three Thousand Great Daos also stepped forward when they saw that Pangu was exhausted, but were all cut down by the Great God Pangu and transformed into Laws that merged into the Heaven and Earth.

Ao Tu's eyes blazed with Evil Qi.

The Evil Qi in the eyes of the Pangu Phantom was equally intense.

The Twelve Divine Fiends Formation of the Twelve Capitals is inherently Baleful Qi Formation, and Ao Tu's evil deeds are perfectly timed.

Amitabha Buddha sensed the Evil Qi and, knowing the danger involved, reached out to stop the Vishnu Bodhisattva and the others from leaving.

These people are being consumed by Calamity Qi, and their deaths are imminent. But if they all die in this calamity, there will be no one to die in their place in the next one.
