Chapter 131: The Battle of Lüjia Mountain (End) Seeking Subscription
Just as Lei Hao's eyes widened and stared fixedly at the fist that was charging towards him, a sudden change occurred.
A massive seven-colored light pillar suddenly descended from the sky, tightly wrapping around the giant fist. At the same time, a majestic voice as cold as a thousand-year-old ice without any emotions echoed in the nine heavens: "The Great Luo Golden Immortal prohibits fighting on the earthly realm. If there is a next time, death!" This voice simultaneously resounded in every corner of the three realms, shocking all the top masters once again.
Innumerable experts turned their heads towards the direction of the South Sea, and muttered to themselves: "It's going to change...".
After this majestic voice fell, the colorful light pillar also disappeared without leaving any trace, as if it had never appeared before.
But the giant fist hesitated for a moment, and then slowly retreated back into the black hole.
Lei Hao stared in shock as the large hand slowly retreated, and for half a day he couldn't figure out what had just happened. But he knew that after making a round trip through the Ghost Gate, he was back again.
"Old Seven." The Demon King's loud roar awakened Lei Hao, who was somewhat dazed.
Lei Hao turned to face the Jiaomo Wang with a smile, a feeling of surviving a disaster lingering in his heart. Just now, he really thought that this time was undoubtedly going to be fatal!
Guanyin, however, had cast aside the Dragon King and suddenly appeared on the surface of the South Sea, stretching out her hand to catch the falling Samantabhadra. At this moment, Guanyin's eyes were dull and her face, normally as white as jade, was deathly pale like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. Her eyes gazed at Samantabhadra's lifeless face, and she reached out to cover the wound on his chest that continued to bleed golden blood, as if stopping the bleeding would bring him back to life. Her expression looked bewildered.
After the big hand stirred up a commotion, all the powerful beings of Ling Shan, experts and various demon kings lost their will to fight. They had all guessed that the terrifying big hand just now was none other than the hand of the Buddha, the master of Ling Shan!
So they all looked at Guanyin, and in their hearts, who knows what they were thinking!
"Didn't we agree to become immortals together? Didn't we promise to live until the end of the three realms? After so many years of hardships, we've finally made it this far, and just as we're about to succeed, Manjusri suddenly disappeared, and now you're gone too?" Guanyin said dejectedly, hugging Samantabhadra tightly. The azure seawater continuously washed over Guanyin's feet as an endless sorrowful aura slowly emanated from her body. Some of the earthly immortals who were present couldn't help but be affected by this sorrowful aura and burst into tears.
But Guanyin did not shed a tear, but his face looked as if the whole world had lost its meaning, and nothing seemed to matter to him anymore.
For a long time, only the tinkling sound remained. Suddenly, the tinkling sound on Guanyin's body disappeared quickly, and a burst of golden Buddha light also poured out from his body frantically. Even the halo of merit behind his head was disappearing rapidly.
All the powerful ones in Ling Mountain were shocked and pale, King Tushita hastily opened his mouth to shout: "Guanyin Bodhisattva must not be impulsive, everything will wait until returning to Ling Mountain, the World Honored One will have a public verdict!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva turned her head to look at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with a wooden expression, saying: "Manjusri and Samantabhadra are no longer here, what's the point of me going back to Mount Ling alone?"
After finishing speaking, several sounds of shattering porcelain came from Guanyin's body, and a ancient bronze-colored bead emitting soft light rose from the top of Guanyin's head. That was Guanyin's sarira! The next moment, the sarira suddenly shot out countless golden lights like a blazing sun, making both Simha and Jiaomang feel extremely uncomfortable, retreating continuously.
After the fragrance of incense wafted away, the golden light that shot out from Shariputra's body slowly faded, revealing Guanyin in the center of the golden light. At this time, Guanyin was no longer dressed as a Buddhist monk with a white kasaya and crystal beads wrapped around her body, but instead wore a simple and elegant blue Taoist robe, with a Taoist hairstyle on her head.
At this time, after the collapse of the statues of Guanyin Buddha and Manjushri Buddha in all temples in the three realms, they also collapsed like rotten wood, without a hint of spirituality. For a moment, all monks in the three realms were in a state of panic, as if the end of the world had come. Many monks in the Guanyin Chan Temple chose to sacrifice themselves for their faith. Guanyin raised her head and looked at the people above with an expressionless face, saying softly: "From now on, there will be no more Bodhisattva Guanyin in the world, only a ordinary nameless Taoist."
"After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Manjushri: 'Seventh brother, I'll send you back home.' With that, he carried the body of Samantabhadra in his arms, step by step, walking towards the south to Mount Sumeru."
The three great Bodhisattvas who shook the three realms ended up like this: two died and one retired!
Lei Hao looked at the departing figure of Guan Yin with a sense of confusion, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He thought about how he and his two brothers had supported each other since the ancient times, but still ended up like this. He wondered if after many years, his own brothers would also end up like Guan Yin's three brothers - some dead, some hidden.
Lei Hao's grip on Tulong's hand tightened in waves, his eyes filled with a firm and determined gaze.
"Ksitigarbha, now that everyone has left, are you going to fight or not?" Niu Mo Wang said with a playful tone towards Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The Earth Store Bodhisattva ignored the Bull Demon King, turned his head to look at Lei Hao, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his head and said in a low voice: "Return to Ling Mountain."
All the Bodhisattvas and Ming Wang originally came to assist Guanyin, now that even Guanyin has left, they naturally wouldn't have any objections. As for Jintuo, although he was unwilling, since even Puxian Bodhisattva had fallen, he didn't dare to fight again. So he just gave a fierce glance at Jiaomowang and Leihao, turned around and followed the great powers of Ling Shan flying towards Ling Shan.
The Ling Shan army left, and the various demon kings also secretly let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. This battle was too dangerous.
Lei Hao first used the violent thunder source to exchange a move with Pu Xian, and was injured by the terrifying big hand's fist. He could barely hold on, but he gritted his teeth and persisted just so as not to show weakness in front of the Ling Shan army.
At this time, the Ling Shan army retreated, and Lei Hao's heart relaxed. He could no longer hold on, his body softened, and he quickly fell to the ground.
The Monkey King transformed into a black light and appeared beside Lei Hao, grasping his arm tightly and laughing: "Old Seventh, how's it going? Can you still hold on?"
Lei Hao forced a smile and said: "Little brother is fine, no need for Fifth Brother to worry."
The Monkey King patted Lei Hao's shoulder and said, "Our own brother, still so polite!"
Lei Hao foolishly smiled and repeatedly said wrong things.
The Bull Demon King flew over and carefully measured it up and down before saying, "Today, thanks to Old Seventh's battle with Puxian, otherwise, today's victory or defeat would still be uncertain."
Lei Hao said: "Thanks to all the brothers who tied up the other masters, I had the chance to kill Pu Xian!" At this time, Lei Hao's heart suddenly understood something.
As far as he knew from his previous life, after Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, among the seven saints, except for the Bull Demon King, none of the others had appeared, not even to take a look at Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain.
As far as Lei Hao knew, none of the six brothers were heartless and unrighteous people. Given their strength in dominating the border and their fearless and lawless personalities, it was unlikely that they would be intimidated by the power of Heaven's Court and Ling Mountain that was visible on the surface.
Combined with the previous period of time, the dens of Jiaomo Wang, Shiqi Wang, Mi Houwang and Qisheng Dasheng were attacked simultaneously. If it weren't for Old Seventh's killing of Manjusri to save Jiaomo Wang in the beginning and his killing of Samantabhadra to determine the outcome in the end, none of them would have been able to escape alive except for Niuyanwang who had a powerful backer to protect him.
This can also explain why the majestic and heroic Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Bull Demon King, would become that abandoned wife and child, unambitious Bull Demon King. Why did Red Boy not even know his father had several sworn brothers? Why among the seven great sages who shook the three realms, only Bull Demon King appeared in Journey to the West, while the other great sages left no trace at all.
It turned out that after Sun Wukong's great chaos in Heaven, these four great saints all fell.
Lei Hao finally let out a sigh of relief after figuring everything out, but then he felt another wave of doubt in his heart.
Now he, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who shouldn't belong in this world, killed Nezha and killed Manjusri.
Killing Pu Xian, these three great masters, changed the fate of the Seven Saints and should have disrupted the trajectory of the Heavenly Way. Why is he still alive and well now?
Why didn't those legendary saints who knew everything with just a snap of their fingers take action to eliminate this anomaly?
Lei Hao secretly calculated for a while before feeling that the waters of the three realms were indeed too deep. Even with his current strength, which far surpassed that of an ordinary Taiyi True Immortal, he was still like a confused and ignorant child, unable to see clearly the world in front of him.
"Lao Qi, what are you thinking about?" Jiaomo Wang asked, seeing Lei Hao frowning and remaining silent for a long time.
Lei Hao threw open the tangled thoughts in his mind, raised his head and smiled: "Nothing, just thinking about when we brothers will go see Lao Ba. He's alone under the Five Elements Mountain, I'm afraid he's a bit lonely."
The Bull Demon King slapped his forehead and said, "It was my brother's negligence. In the past few decades, we only met once every several dozen years, and I didn't feel that time was long, but I neglected that he is now suffering punishment."
The Monkey King was delighted to hear that and said, "Choosing a day is not as good as seizing the day. Anyway, the Southern Ocean is not far from the South Jambu Continent. Let's go take a look at that monkey."
The crowd of brothers finished speaking and, with great enthusiasm, turned their heads to the south and flew towards Mount Sumeru in the Jambudvipa continent. The few brothers' speed was swift, and soon they saw from afar the faintly visible Five-Colored Light emanating from the Five Elements Mountain.
