Chapter 456: Chapter 411, Wutian Appears
Jin Naluo’s body shimmered with illusory lotus petals that solidified into a huge White Lotus. As the White Lotus spun, all arrows shot at it were deflected and fell to the ground.
Ignoring everything around him, Jin Naluo looked up in grief and cried out, "Buddha, merciful and compassionate, I pray for the salvation of all beings, please save A Xiu. I will bear all the karma and sins alone."
From afar, the Great Elder shouted angrily, "Jin Naluo, do you still dare to resist?!"
"Please, Buddha, vanquish the demons!" The Great Elder brought his palms together and bowed towards Dahua Temple. Instantly, Dahua Temple radiated Buddha Light, a golden Buddha light sweeping across the sky, like a Golden Bridge.
With a loud "Bang," Jin Naluo bowed deeply in grief and cried, "I beg the Buddha, I beg for her life!"
Suddenly, the sky churned, the golden Buddha light paused in mid-air, and White Clouds gathered high above, forming a colossal white Buddha with bump-laden head, gazing down at all beings.
Jin Naluo abruptly looked up, ecstatically overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing and crying out, "Disciple pays homage to the Buddha!"
Below, the Great Elder’s eyes bulged with shock and panic. How could the Buddha of Small Mahayana Buddhism descend upon Yun Brahman’s location? Where is my Buddha?
A mighty voice from the Buddha’s Dharma Image resounded, "Jin Naluo, with great wisdom, courage, and virtue, you have spread the teachings in Yun Brahman. Can you complete your Merit and return to the Great Leiyin Temple?"
Jin Naluo looked up eagerly and cried, "Please, Buddha, bring A Xiu back to life!"
"Jin Naluo, good and evil both follow karma; you cannot force this!"
"Please, Buddha, bring A Xiu back to life!"
The White Cloud Buddha looked calmly at Jin Naluo, his powerful voice echoing Between Heaven and Earth, "Jin Naluo, cut off the seven emotions and six desires, treat all beings with equality, this is true love!"
Jin Naluo suddenly stood up, looking up and shouting, "Buddha, I don’t need such great love, I just want A Xiu to come back to life!"
"Jin Naluo’s heart dwells on worldly thoughts, the six roots impure, henceforth you are expelled from the Buddha Sect!" The White Cloud Buddha faded away, and the heaviness of Heaven and Earth revived.
Inside the Great Leiyin Temple, Duo Bao Tathagata sat in the main seat, with Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy, Ma Yuan Venerate King Buddha, and other Buddhas seated below.
All Buddhas looked towards the Buddha, their eyes filled with confusion. What did the Buddha mean by expelling Jin Naluo from the Buddha Sect?
Duo Bao Tathagata had no intention of explaining. Jin Naluo, as the last to cut off the Destiny of Mahayana Buddhism, truly could not be kept. His expulsion was necessary for the unity and completion of Buddhism.
Moreover, he served Zhunti Buddha Mother and would never fully devote to Small Mahayana Buddhism. Rather than keeping him around, it’s better to seize the opportunity to expel him.
...
Inside the Black Cloud Palace of the Demon Realm, the form of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou materialized in the main seat, stretching out his hand, a Black Lotus formed in his palm, its hum resonating.
Luo Hou laughed heartily and said, "Back when the Western fought against Hong Jun, the Black Lotus treasure was shattered, never reaching completion. Now, Black Lotus, you have finally appeared." With one palm strike, he merged the Black Lotus into the Space, disappearing without a trace.
Outside Yun Brahman City, two figures hid within the Space.
Daji anxiously watched the city, a sense of unease rising in her heart. Turning her head to glance at the side, she asked Bai Jin, "Holy Envoy, since you came to the Western, there’s been no movement, what exactly are you here for?"
Bai Jin sighed and said, "I am here to witness a legend and also to save someone."
Daji looked at Bai Jin with anticipation and said, "Holy Envoy, can you resolve this great karmic matter?"
Bai Jin shook his head and replied, "I could act without being known if I came to the Western region, but once I make a move, Buddhism will be alerted, and things will get even more complicated."
The Dharma Image of Buddha disappeared, the stagnant Buddha Light in the sky agitated once again, plunging downward, and bam- the Buddha Light, like a long spear, struck White Lotus, scattering rays of Buddha Light and cracking the White Lotus.
Jin Naluo gently placed A Xiu on the White Lotus, looked up at the sky, and suddenly laughed out loud without restraint, "Buddha! What a hypocritical Buddha, what a cold and desire-cutting Buddha.
I will not ferry her, I will ferry myself!"
In the void, Bai Jin’s eyes lit up, it was starting.
Jin Naluo’s bald head quickly grew dark hair that draped over his shoulders, his moon-white robe turned into a Black Robe, a spot of black appeared atop the White Lotus, spreading like ink quickly, swallowing the White Lotus and forming a dark Black Lotus, engulfing the continuous Buddha Light.
From afar, the Great Elder’s eyes suddenly widened in shock, what is this? Looking at the dark Black Lotus, a great fear surged within him.
Demon Clouds tumbled in the sky, covering the sun and the sky.
Jin Naluo walked step by step towards the sky, each step he took sprouted a Black Lotus, his long black hair fluttering, his chilling voice echoing between Heaven and Earth: "If the Buddha does not ferry me, I shall turn into a demon, and if I become a demon, what can Buddha do to me?"
Billowing Demonic Qi swirled, forming a vortex of Demonic Qi, pouring into Jin Naluo.
Below, the Great Elder and the numerous soldiers were all stirred up, unsettled.
In the void, Bai Jin’s eyes brightened, now was the time, and his figure vanished in a flash.
Shi Ji looked around, failing to spot Bai Jin, and anxiously watched outside, sighing - the concerns of the Empress have indeed come to pass, surely she would say I did not manage well!
High in the sky, Jin Naluo pressed his hand downwards, a black Demon Pillar rushed down from above, booming - the pillar of Demonic Qi exploded at Yun Brahman, like a surge of black floodwater, sweeping across the entire Yun Brahman, countless civilians screaming in the flood.
Jin Naluo swooped down from the sky, bending to pick up A Xiu and walking towards the distance, after the black Demonic Qi passed, there were no more disciples of Mahayana Buddhism in Yun Brahman.
...
Jin Naluo carrying A Xiu walked out of the city, came to a cliff, looked down at A Xiu, instinctively frowning - where did A Xiu’s Dagger go? When did it disappear? But it doesn’t matter anymore.
A coffin like Black Jade materialized in the void, the coffin opened revealing a space inside.
Jin Naluo carefully placed A Xiu into the space, slowly closed the coffin lid, and coldly said, "From today onwards, my benevolence will be sealed in the dark abyss, from this world onward there will be no Jin Naluo, only Black-Robed Wutian.
Buddhism, Tathagata, wait for me! One day I, Wutian, will return, and make you pay the price you deserve."
Jin Naluo shouldered the Black Coffin, beneath his feet a huge Black Lotus formed, the Black Lotus closed, and Wutian disappeared into the void along with it.
...
Inside the Great Leiyin Temple, all Buddhas were in an uproar, Jin Naluo had actually turned into a demon, all Buddha Bodhisattvas looked towards Buddha sitting in the principal seat.
The Buddha’s mighty voice arose: "In the infinite Hengsha World, all beings possess both good and evil. Those whose goodness outweighs their wickedness ascend to Buddhahood, and those whose wickedness outweighs their goodness fall into demonhood. Since Jin Naluo joined Buddhism, I observed his actions harboring great evil, yet could not bear to harm his life. I thus expelled him from Buddhism, hoping he would wander the world, and come to a profound realization. However, with just a moment’s deviation, he ultimately fell into the Demon Path."
