Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1081 - 656: Buddha Demon

"Such a good opportunity, and the major forces are just staying idle, not offering assistance. To take advantage of the situation to attack the Demon Abyss would be a good move; are they really ready to overlook the big picture for the sake of minor profits?"

"..."

The crowd discussed fervently, leading to market fluctuations; the Tao Point price tag, which had just stabilized, began to bounce up and down again.

Meanwhile, in the Territory World.

"Amitabha!"

At the sound of a Buddhist chant, monk soldiers surged out from the White Tiger Seven Cities into the Western Demon Domain.

Old Man Shipi was at the forefront, leading a million Dharma Protector Asura forces like a sharp blade, piercing into the Demon Realm.

Compared to the past, his appearance had changed significantly. He was no longer the emaciated old man in black dressed like a zombie, but a majestic and authoritative robust middle-aged man. His ominous Demon Blade and Demon Armor had transformed into the Vow Blade Golden Armor, appearing like a Great Protector of Buddhism.

Well before ten thousand years had passed, Ksitigarbha had converted him with Buddhist Law, turning this master of the Asura Demon Palace into the Buddhist Dharma Protector Asura King.

The Asura forces were one of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Tribes of Buddhism, the divine protectors of the Buddhist faith, specializing in battle and fights.

From this, one could see that the myriad paths of the great Dao ultimately converged, with the Demon Path having its Asura and Buddhism having its Asura too, seemingly a bridge between Buddhism and demons, yet in reality, two sides of the same coin.

Just like the Yin Yang Life and Death, good and evil, black and white, they all start from the same point and converge to the same end, differing only in direction and development along the way.

Thus, a Buddha can enter demonhood, and a demon can achieve Buddhahood, it all depends on whose Dao and Dharma is higher, deeper, stronger, and greater.

There's no need to elaborate on Ksitigarbha's cultivation in Buddhist Law; even a Demon Spirit Hero like Shipi was converted and took refuge in just a hundred years. Jiu Panpo and others even earlier, and over ten thousand years as Xu Yang waged war on the Demon Abyss, the Ksitigarbha Netherworld Palace has continuously grown, now a colossal entity.

If it weren't for this, Xu Yang would not have entrusted it with independence and initiate an assault on the Demon Realm at this moment.

Inside the Sky-reaching Tower, there was always a saying, "Black reflects tenfold strength, cleansing reduces seven parts of might." Heroes and troops from the Demon Abyss, after being converted to the Sky-reaching Tower, generally suffer a loss in strength and might even fall in Corresponding Rank and Rank due to the energy consumption of the conversion process.

But Ksitigarbha was an exception. His profound Buddhist cultivation meant that the heroes of the Demon Abyss who were converted by him would not degrade in Rank, but instead, they would improve due to "great enlightenment, transforming demons into Buddha."

Therefore, the current strength of this "King

Shipi" exceeds that of the old man Shipi from before, placing him among the upper echelon of Immortal Spirit Heroes.

Leading with the Vow Blade, King Shipi, at the head of a million Dharma Protector Asuras, charged into the Western Demon Domain.

The Demon Realm was prepared for this, having constructed solid fortifications, set up layers of Formation, and assembled thousands of Demon Soldiers ready for battle.

"Asuras?"

"Hmph!!!"

Within the Demon City, a Demon Spirit Hero, decked out in splendid armor and wielding a Vow Blade, sneered at the sight of King Shipi and the million Dharma Protector Asuras. He activated the Formation, reinforcing the city's defenses, causing various defense structures to thunderously spring to action, while countless Demon Soldiers cast spells, preparing to annihilate the invaders.

As previously mentioned, linked territories give both parties a home ground advantage, making attacks disadvantageous for either side.

The situation was no exception now; relying on the power of the Demon Realm, the Demon Spirit Hero was full of confidence, intent on striking a heavy blow against the invading King Shipi and the Dharma Protector Asuras.

But unexpectedly...

"Ha!!!"

King Shipi bellowed, radiating a dazzling golden light as his form swelled rapidly, turning into a colossal being in the blink of an eye, resembling a protective Heavenly God wielding a Vow Blade. With one slash, followed by the united action of a million Dharma Protector Asuras, brilliant Buddhist light tore through the dark clouds and mist, striking straight at the great array of the Demon City.

"What is that?"

"Law of Heaven and Earth?"

"No, that's not right!!!"

From within the Demon City, that Demon Spirit Hero's pupils constricted, a sudden thrill of terror seizing his heart. But bound by duty, he dared not abandon the city and flee, only mimicking the action by unfolding the Heavenly Demon's Dharma Aspect, combining the Demon City's Formation with the power of thousands of Demon Soldiers to counter this blade.

The result, however...

"Boom!!!"

A loud bang shook heaven and earth, and the great array of the Demon City shattered in response. High walls a thousand zhang tall were severed by the brilliant Buddhist light, opening a huge gap, leaving countless Demon Soldiers dead or wounded.

Within the ruined Demon City, the Demon Spirit Hero was pale, holding a broken weapon in one hand and pressing his chest with the other, yet he was unable to contain the massive gash from leaking. The conflicting energies of Buddha and demon within him caused his Demon Blood to spray, exacerbating his injuries.
