A figure hundreds of feet tall, shrouded in black mist, with blood-red skin and two black horns, appeared.
This was the true form of the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire, a true demon!
"Ananda!!!"
The Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire roared, its body expanding, its aura growing more terrifying, attempting to resist Ananda Bodhisattva's giant hand.
However, Ananda Bodhisattva's giant hand did not pause in the slightest. It reached out for the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire. No matter how much it struggled, it was futile. It was caught by the giant hand.
"Ahhh! Ananda, why did you come? I am not reconciled!!!"
The Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire roared, its piercing voice echoing throughout the great snow mountain, triggering countless avalanches.
Some weaker individuals were even forced to spit blood and their auras weakened by the sound.
But as the giant hand tightened, the colossal body of the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire was compressed, its aura growing faint.
"You were originally a demon, but you were recognized by the Buddha's true scriptures, indicating a heart inclined towards Buddhism. Why do you persist in error?"
Ananda Bodhisattva asked unhurriedly, a hint of loss flashing across his face.
"Persist in error? Ananda, your Buddhist realm has suppressed our race for tens of thousands of years, and you still expect this seat to become a Buddha? Bullshit!!!"
The Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire cursed. At this moment, its body was shrinking, its aura completely dissipating. It had been sealed by Ananda Bodhisattva, powerless to resist.
"Ananda, don't think of sealing this seat! This seat would rather die than return to hell!!!"
As its strength continued to vanish, the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire panicked. It knew it wouldn't die, but it didn't want to be sealed again. That place was worse than death.
"Buddhist realm! Buddha! One day, our race will descend upon this world again, avenge our fallen brethren, and destroy everything!!!"
The Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire roared, and then its body exploded.
It had self-destructed!
The onlookers outside were already stunned, their faces filled with horror. Everything they had witnessed today was unbelievable, as if they were dreaming.
Li Xiaotian was no different. Was that giant a demon? Was it the true form of the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire?
The aura the other party had displayed made even him feel a sense of crisis. If Ananda Bodhisattva hadn't appeared today, wouldn't he have had to fight such a monster?
Of course, what shocked him even more was Ananda's strength. With a single move, he had forced the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire to self-destruct.
What kind of existence were demons? Were they related to the Demon Lord? Were they related to his Demonic Devouring Art?
Countless questions arose in Li Xiaotian's mind. At this moment, he thought of many things: the suppressed sea of blood, and the demons currently being suppressed.
Where did they come from? Why were they all suppressed and sealed? Since there was the power to suppress them, why didn't it eliminate them?
"Amitabha."
Seeing the Bodhisattva of Extreme Desire self-destruct, Ananda Bodhisattva shook his head, sighed slightly, and then stepped into the cavern.
Li Xiaotian quickly followed, as his wife and daughters were still inside.
The cavern was already surging with demonic energy, especially at the mouth of the abyss, where a demonic shadow was struggling fiercely, as if trying to break out.
But as Ananda Bodhisattva entered the cavern, the dense demonic energy instantly receded, and Buddha light illuminated the entire cavern.
"Ananda, is that you! Is Mo Teng'er dead?"
The black shadow trembled and stopped struggling. He knew he had missed his chance.
Ananda Bodhisattva did not reply. Instead, with a wave of his hand, four clusters of light appeared before him, precisely Ye Qingmei and the others.
They were all in a coma. Ye Qingmei and her daughter were better off, with only weak auras. However, Long Shiwu and An Mei were covered in black, on the verge of death, as if they could die at any moment.
"Amitabha."
Ananda Bodhisattva clasped his hands together. Four beams of Buddha light entered the bodies of the four respectively, and at the same time, he handed the four over to the Bodhisattva of Glazed Ware, who had entered the cavern with him.
"Take them out."
Ananda instructed.
"Yes, Bodhisattva."
Glazed Ware replied, leading the four away.
"Heh heh, Ananda, you are still the same, feigning compassion. It's just four ants, worthy of you wasting energy?"
The black shadow mocked.
Chants of scriptures began to sound. Ananda sat cross-legged above the abyss. He did not respond to the black shadow but began to reinforce the formation beneath the abyss.
"Hmph! Ananda, are you afraid? Afraid of being provoked by this seat, awakening the demonic nature within you? You don't even dare to respond to a single word from me?"
The black shadow snorted coldly, then continued to mock.
"An ancient demonic Buddha who killed countless beings, how have you become so cowardly! Don't your Buddhist cultivators advocate respecting your true heart? This seat knows you want to kill, you want to unleash the killing intent in your heart, you want to slaughter all living beings!"
"Impudent!"
Suddenly, Ananda let out a loud shout. The black shadow instantly dissipated, and at the same time, the aura around Ananda's body changed drastically. Cracks in space appeared around his body.
In a daze, the surroundings of Ananda seemed to have changed.
It was a battlefield, with mountains of corpses, and on top of the mountain was a monk in black.
"Heh heh, Ananda, you are still you. This seat can feel it, the world has changed. One day, our race will descend again, and then, you, Ananda, will abandon Buddhism and become a demon!"
A faint mockery came from the abyss.
But at this moment, Ananda had already recovered. The chanting grew louder and louder. Golden "卍" characters appeared out of thin air, converging towards the depths of the abyss.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian had just arrived at the entrance of the cavern and happened to meet Glazed Ware, who was bringing Ye Qingmei and the other three out.
"Qingmei! Tiantian!!"
Li Xiaotian's face changed dramatically upon seeing the state of the four.
"Benefactor Li, please do not worry. They were only invaded by demonic energy, but Bodhisattva Ananda has already driven back the demonic energy for them. They just need to rest for a while."
Glazed Ware said, glancing back at the same time, feeling a sense of emotion.
Who would have thought that a heavenly prodigy of the Buddhist realm, the Sect Master of the Blissful Buddhist Sect, was actually a demon.
Thinking of how he had wanted to investigate further before, he couldn't help but mock himself. Fortunately, Bodhisattva Ananda had arrived. Otherwise, with his strength, the extreme desire would have succeeded in its scheme, and he himself would likely have perished today.
"They had better be fine, otherwise, I don't mind starting a war again!"
Li Xiaotian said with a cold face, and at the same time, he felt relieved. Fortunately, everyone was fine.
"What exactly happened just now? The Sect Master of the Blissful Buddhist Sect is actually a demon?"
Li Xiaotian looked at Glazed Ware and asked. He had wanted to mock a bit, but considering that the Sect Master of one of the four great sects of the Buddhist realm was a demon, it was a disgrace to the Buddhist realm.
As an outsider, it was better not to provoke the other party at this time.
"Amitabha, Benefactor Li, this matter is a secret of my Buddhist realm. I hope Benefactor Li will not make things difficult for this seat."
Glazed Ware said, clasping his hands together.
To put it bluntly, he was unwilling to tell Li Xiaotian, an outsider.
"Hmph! Secret? After today, I'm afraid it's no longer a secret. You monks have immense courage to plot against the descendants of my Yue family, thinking my Yue family has no one?!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and then a figure appeared beside Li Xiaotian and Glazed Ware.
