Chapter 1 Quelling the Demons

The mountains shook, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. At this moment, almost all the mountain peaks had become barren.

The giant wooden demon, hundreds of feet tall and interwoven with countless tree roots and vines, let out a roar that was hard to distinguish between male and female.

Wrath!

Mu Laolao was furious in his heart.

Anyone who was suddenly attacked and almost lost their life in one move would not be in a good mood.

Not to mention a wood demon like him, born in the Netherworld and raised in Yin煞?

In these three days, he had been continuing to gather power at all times, even at the cost of destroying the trees on the mountain in exchange for temporary strength.

"What a monster!"

Dexing's expression changed.

The wood spirit energy between these mountains had almost all been gathered by the old demon. At this moment, this old demon was more than ten times stronger than before.

But he knew that such power could not last long. It was like a child wielding a sledgehammer, and there would even be severe backlash afterward.

As long as this period of time passed, this wood demon would undoubtedly die!

Almost in an instant, Dexing's vigilance had been raised to the highest level. The wide monk's robe suddenly bulged, and Buddha's light burst forth:

"Om Mani Padme Hum..."

Boom!

Giant hands woven from thousands of vines crashed down with countless essences of heaven and earth:

"Om your bald head!"

Hundreds of arms and thousands of hands moved together, and countless tree roots and vines danced in the night sky, almost covering the sky and the sun!

Terrifying!

How terrifying was such a scene?

"I..."

Before the Fox Daoist could utter a word, he had already been thrown hundreds of feet away along with the golden Buddha power that had been blasted away by a slap, and crashed heavily into the mountains.

Even with his demon beast physique, he was almost knocked unconscious.

But he didn't have time to think about it. He looked up.

In the flickering golden light in mid-air, an incense burner fell suddenly, growing larger in the wind, and met the palm strike.

A deafening roar erupted as the two collided.

Amidst the rolling air waves, the old monk Dexing pulled out a hundred-foot-long air current and also crashed into the forest.

He was directly slapped from the sky onto the ground. After landing, the momentum did not diminish, and he pulled out a long gully in the forest. His whole body almost smashed into the ground!

In the next instant,

Countless large hands composed of vines and roots hammered the ground like a storm.

A real storm!

The Fox Daoist retreated madly for thousands of feet, watching from afar as the wood demon leveled the mountain peaks, smashed them to pieces, and made the earth "thump", his mind swaying, and he was unspeakably horrified.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart. If he had betrayed Mu Laolao before, he would have been hammered to death alive in this desolate mountain!

The faces of the several monks in Jiao Yuan Temple were all pale, and they were all stunned by the scene that looked like a natural disaster.

This, this wood demon was terrifying to this extent.

How did the abbot severely injure it before?

Not only Dexing and the other monks, but also Pei Yuanhua and Jia An, who were watching this battle through various means in An'nuo County's City God Temple and Gushan Taoist Temple outside Qinghe County, were all shocked.

Of course, they knew that this wood demon was related to the Netherworld. It was said that it was sent to the human world by a big figure in the Netherworld, but they never expected that the wood demon itself could be so powerful.

That Dexing was no ordinary person. He was a direct descendant of the Ruyi Monk, cultivated the Subduing Demon Seal, one of the nine seals of the Tathagata. His natal achievement was already close to entering the Dao, and he was a great master.

He was also one of the most outstanding among the third-generation disciples of the Ruyi Temple.

And he was hammered into the ground just like that?

"This wood demon..."

In the City God's Mansion, Pei Yuanhua's face suddenly sank.

This was not a good thing for him. If the Ruyi Temple failed this time, what face would he have to stand in An'nuo County or even Liang Prefecture?

Even with the strong support of the state City God Gong Liang Shen, there was no way to persuade Tianyi Zhenren.

If this errand was screwed up, it would be very bad.

"Good! Good! Good!"

In stark contrast, Jia An felt extremely happy.

He didn't expect this wood demon to make a comeback, but this situation was naturally extremely beneficial to him.

If this Dexing was hammered to death here, then the Ruyi Temple's plan would be aborted before it could succeed.

If you can't even handle a state, a prefecture, or a county, how can your Ruyi Monk have the face to compete with the Sect Leader?

The two Daoists beside him also understood this truth, and their hearts were filled with joy.

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of the roar was like a storm.

The extremely distant Mountain God Temple was completely turned into powder by the spreading waves. Li Sa stood on the side in a panic, looking at the monster that was hammering the ground not far away, his legs were trembling with fear, and his heart was beating like a drum.

"No, not good!"

Under the fear, Li Sa suddenly felt his heart explode.

The miserable screams of wild animals in the forest rose one after another. Countless wild animals were frightened and fled frantically.

He was the first to bear the brunt.

He wanted to run, but then he remembered what the immortal had said before: "No, brother's life-saving herbs..."

He looked around and saw a gully in the distance. He gritted his teeth and drilled into it.

Praying that he wouldn't be trampled to death, praying that the herbs wouldn't be trampled to death...

On a distant mountain peak, An Qisheng stood tall, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

Cultivating through the nine gates and the nine heavens also includes demons, ghosts, and devils.

Although there were slight differences, the gap was not too big. This wood demon was also at the fourth realm of cultivation, equivalent to the Natal realm. However, this wood demon's accumulation was too deep, and it had communicated with the earth's veins and the grass and trees of the mountains for several days.

The power that erupted at this moment had exceeded the limit of the Natal realm!

Entering the Dao, one could move a hundred miles. Such power was already the power of entering the Dao.

Taking another step forward, killing thousands of miles with a flick of a finger, that would be the realm of a True Person.

The wood demon hammered the ground more and more urgently, and the roar that came out was like thunder rolling, terrifying to the extreme.

An Qisheng watched this scene quietly, but he had no intention of intervening at all.

For him, demons and ghosts were not good things, and neither were these monks. Their life and death had nothing to do with him.

However, listening to the beast roars rising and falling around him, he couldn't help but frown. When the beast tide rose, it would be very harmful.

"Go."

He released the yellow dog in his arms.

The yellow dog naturally understood his intention. The moment it jumped out of his arms, it had already grown larger in the wind. In an instant, it had transformed into a large dog with a shoulder height of seven feet and fur as thick as a lion's mane.

No one who saw it would think that it was the yellow dog from before.

"Awoo!!"

The yellow dog jumped onto the top of the mountain and raised its head to let out a long and lasting roar at the moonless and gloomy night sky.

After many days of washing, An Qisheng had completely changed the yellow dog's bones and bones, and it had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The bloodline had already undergone some unpredictable transformation.

This roar echoed far away in the mountains, even the wood demon's hammering sound, which was louder than the other, could not completely cover it.

Then, roars rose and fell one after another.

Wolves howled, tigers roared, birds chirped, and all kinds of wild animals also roared in response.

Awoo~

The yellow dog jumped down and ran into the forest, roaring from time to time to regulate the animal herds.

Its movements were extremely fast, and the wind flowed with its steps. It soon disappeared into the night.

An Qisheng glanced at it, and his eyes fell on the wood demon, which was hundreds of feet tall and taller than a mountain.

The wood demon's own realm could not control such a level of heaven and earth spiritual energy, and it was already at the end of its strength.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Ghosts howled in the night:

"Bald donkey, why aren't you dead yet?!"

Thousands of arms danced, like thousands of dragons and snakes dancing wildly in the air. The wood demon let out a shrill and miserable roar.

Gathering the essence of mountains and rivers, plundering the essence of grass and trees, the pain he had to endure was no less than that of Dexing, and even much stronger.

The giant wood demon roared and hammered the earth, and the earth wriggled like waves. The old monk Dexing fled madly, and the earth shrew was beaten so badly that he dared not show his head.

But no matter how superb his earth escape technique was, in this wood demon's home field, under such crazy hammering, it was impossible to completely avoid it.

He didn't know how many of the bones in his body were broken, and blood flowed from all seven orifices.

"How is this possible? How can this wood demon be so terrifying?"

Dexing couldn't calm down. The pain of his internal organs trembling violently reminded him that if this continued, his body would be destroyed.

All the cultivators in the world knew the importance of the physical body, and the Ruyi Temple entered the Dao with the physical body, so how could they not understand this truth.

Bang!

Finally, he could no longer bear it. He suddenly broke out of the earth, changed his fingers in many ways, and roared with thunderous anger, regardless of the blood gushing from his mouth:

"Great威天龙, 世尊如来, Prajna巴麻空!" (Dawei Tianlong, Shizun Rulai, Prajna Ba Ma Kong)

The thirteen syllables were spat out from his mouth like tangible objects, and submerged into the alchemic furnace that jumped out of his brow.

He was also desperate!

In just thirteen characters, each one contained the Buddha power he had cultivated for a year. Once he spat it out, his thirteen years of hard work would be destroyed!

His realm had almost fallen below his Natal realm!

But such a great price was not without effect.

In the next instant, the incense burner had already soared into the sky, stirring up the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the mountains, growing larger in the wind, turning into an acre in size, swallowing and spitting out terrifying golden light, pulling a long air current, and breaking off countless vines, roots, and wooden palms,

And smashed towards the wood demon's head.

"Bald donkey, go to hell!"

Endless pain filled his heart, and Mu Laolao was as crazy as he could be. At this time, seeing the alchemic furnace smashing towards his head like a mountain, he didn't even have the slightest thought of protecting himself.

Hundreds of arms and thousands of hands struck down together. No matter what the power was, just the stirred up air had blown countless tree branches into the sky.

"Not good! This wood demon wants to die with me!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the aura on Dexing's body had dropped to the lowest level. Seeing thousands of arms strike down, he couldn't help but split his eyes:

"A wood demon, just a wood demon..."

A nameless fire rose in his heart. He only felt that the City God and Jia An were uneasy and kind, deliberately concealing such information. For a time, he couldn't wait to kill them.

"Not good! Evil Qi enters the heart!"

In an instant, Dexing came back to his senses. Seeing this strike hammer down, he finally resigned himself to his fate and took out a wooden pendant from his arms and crushed it.

Rumble!

Just as Dexing crushed the pendant.

The sky suddenly became bright, and countless golden lights burst out. Woven between the vertical and horizontal lines, a huge face with majesty and filling half the sky was outlined.

That face was extremely noble, and the moment it appeared, bursts of Zen chants were born, and then, the heaven and earth spiritual energy moved with it, turning into golden lotuses and drifting down.

For a time, the night turned into a Buddhist country.

That face was like a true Buddha, sacred and inviolable, and its majesty could not be looked at directly.

The Buddha's face looked down on the mountains and opened his mouth indifferently:

"Monster! How dare you!"

With a sound of reprimand that was neither high nor low, thousands of thunder snakes wreaked havoc above the dome, making earth-shattering movements.

This movement was so huge.

An'nuo County, which was three hundred miles away, was buzzing and vibrating. Countless people were awakened from their dreams, only to feel a strange depression in their hearts, as if a great disaster was about to happen.

"Ruyi Monk!"

"Ruyi Monk!"

Seeing this face, Jia An and Pei Yuanhua in An'nuo County and Qingshui County felt their scalps explode, and a sense of panic arose in their hearts.

Of course, they knew who the owner of this face was.

Ruyi Monk.

This was the only great master of the Ruyi Temple for thousands of years who had attained the golden body.

The Buddha's golden body was equivalent to the Taoist's Nascent Soul. This Ruyi Monk was a top expert in the world, a great figure who could truly contend with Tianyi Zhenren and even compete for the position of national teacher.

Kaka Kaka~

The moment the Buddha's face appeared, the wood demon in the forest was struck by lightning. Its huge body could no longer move, and even under this reprimand, its entire body had begun to disintegrate.

Large pieces of roots and vines fell off.

With a sound of reprimand, he was about to die!

Everyone who saw this scene was chilled to the bone, only to feel their minds trembling. Jia An closed the Xuanguang technique at the first moment. The Nascent Soul True Person had great magical powers, and a single glance could kill him.

Pei Yuanhua also dared not look again, but just as he was about to close the incense mirror, his face suddenly froze.

He saw a sword.

An ordinary sword with no supernatural power.
