Chapter 839: Disaster
Above the Eastern Buddhist Kingdom.
Lu Yi sat cross-legged under the sky, with more than ten thousand bright lights behind him, like a bunch of extremely gorgeous peacock tail feathers blooming behind him. In the bright light, there were mountains and rivers, Zen temples, infinite holy lands, and infinite majesty.
Large groups of strange gods and demons with auras above one calamity and below a hundred calamities shuttled in and out of the bright light like a school of sardines. They used their great magic power and supernatural powers to move mountains and fill the sea, directly moving the mountains and rivers of the Eastern Buddhist Kingdom and taking them up to the sky, and sending countless people on them directly into the holy land of the Buddhist Kingdom in the bright light.
Countless people watched themselves rising into the air along with the earth below, flying towards the glorious and magnificent sacred Buddhist kingdom in the sky. Their devotion and enthusiasm for Lu Yi suddenly soared by several levels.
Endless faith and power surged in. The quantity and quality were like a hundred thousand burning suns that were extremely compressed and directly filled into Lu Yi's body, making him feel a little bloated.
Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh that the Buddhist teachings passed down by the old monk were a bit unorthodox, but really useful.
In the 'great wisdom' derived from the 'method of liberation' taught by the old monk Hongchen, there is the old monk Hongchen preaching in various heavenly realms. After his teachings are accepted by countless living beings, he directly triggers world-destroying disasters in those heavenly realms. Then, when countless living beings are in the midst of a catastrophe, he suddenly appears as a savior.
Slay demons and save the people, turn the tide, and restore peace and tranquility to the world.
As a result, countless creatures worshipped him and their faith and worship directly soared to an incredible level. They offered immeasurable faith and willpower, which directly helped the old monk Hongchen to rapidly improve his cultivation. In a very short period of time, he possessed unfathomable power that ordinary chaotic creatures might not be able to possess even after hundreds or thousands of great calamities!
At this moment, Lu Yi inadvertently also embarked on this path.
Of course, Lu Fu could hold his head high and say that he was not as shameless as the old monk Hongchen - that old guy created the world-destroying disaster himself, and then came out to save the people... What Lu Fu was facing now was a real disaster of the collapse of heaven and earth. This disaster had nothing to do with him, but was brought about by the Thirty-Three-Year Cicada and the Nine Lotus Alliance.
Over there, the Thirty-Three Years Cicada and the Nine Lotus Alliance had already started a fierce battle.
The Thirty-Three Years Cicada relied on his huge body, unfathomable strength, and extremely strong talent, and was like a heavily armored battle fortress, suspended in the air, allowing hundreds of "allies" of the Nine Lotus League to bombard him.
All kinds of magical powers, secret methods, and strange spiritual treasures poured down on the thirty-three-year-old cicada like a rainstorm. On the surface of the thirty-three-year-old cicada's body, layers of cicada shells with slightly different shapes and colors overlapped, turning into a light tower with a diameter of 100,000 miles, protecting his body at the core.
The twelve long membranous wings transformed into countless sharp crescent blade arcs, which kept slashing down with a shrill sound of splitting the air. On each blade arc, there was the surging of earth, water, fire and wind, the lingering light of Buddha and immortals, the rising of demonic spirits, and the surging of various evil witchcraft and poisonous gases...
This thirty-three-year-old cicada has experienced countless calamities in his life, reincarnated time and time again, and survived many near-death experiences. He also has no idea how many wonderful life journeys he has experienced, how many strange magical powers he has learned, and how many different great traditions he has mastered.
His body is so huge and his power is incredible.
Every time the sword arc was slashed down, the strange creatures of the Nine Lotus Alliance would howl like ghosts and wolves. If they were slightly touched, either their bodies would be blown back millions of miles, or their protective spells would be blown to pieces, or all kinds of magical treasures and secret weapons would be broken and damaged, or even sent flying into the sky .
The powerful and strange magic attacks of earth, water, fire, wind and other elements on the blade arc are extremely powerful.
From time to time, members of the Jiulian League rushed back to the Jiulian Treasure Boat with roars, sat cross-legged on the bow deck, and hurriedly took various elixirs to heal their wounds and save their lives, and even chopped off a large piece of body tissue to isolate themselves from the constant erosion of certain evil energies and terrible poisonous gases.
At first glance, the Thirty-Three Years Cicada did have the advantage. The Nine Lotus Alliance, which had been so aggressive and had made a very stylish appearance before, and seemed extremely mysterious, powerful and tyrannical, now seemed a bit weak.
As the two sides fought, the world was shaken, the sky collapsed, the earth was torn and sunken, the poisonous fire underground turned into giant volcanoes that roared and erupted, and black and red fire pillars rushed up tens of thousands and millions of miles into the sky, turning into mushroom clouds that slowly bloomed in the extremely high sky.
The smoke and the turbulent flow of mana in the sky collided violently, splashing countless lightning bolts like crazy dragons across the void, almost tearing the entire sky apart. Such a terrifying scene made the people of the Eastern Buddhist Kingdom who were constantly entering the "Red Dust Heaven" to escape more and more fearful and pious... At the same time, it also caused a lot of trouble for the creatures of the Nine Lotus Alliance.
From time to time, several creatures of the Jiulian League were hit by the electric dragons, and electric sparks exploded all over their bodies. They were twitching slightly and their reaction speed was a little slow, so they were chopped hard by hundreds of consecutive sword arcs, which directly broke their bones and tore their tendons. Their bodies exploded and they fell like meteorites, spitting out blood and struggling back to the Jiulian Treasure Boat for temporary shelter.
Lu Yi looked at the chaotic battle group with a smile.
The Jiulian Alliance hadn't really made any effort yet, and Lu Yi could see that - the thirty-six white-bone gods and demons of Monk Pudu hadn't moved yet. Around those thirty-six white-bone gods and demons, there were some strange creatures with weird shapes, basically without human form. They gathered together, and no one knew what they were doing.
This white-bone demon was the 'medicine inducer' that Monk Pudu used to locate the thirty-three-year cicada's body through the connection of cause and effect. He was also the biggest driving force behind Monk Pudu's bringing in the Nine Lotus League to hunt the thirty-three-year cicada.
Lu Yi didn't believe that these bone gods and demons would not move, and they really took action.
And the Thirty-Three Years Cicada, up to now, has only been relying on its huge body and tyrannical strength to play the "game"... Lu Yi could sense that the Thirty-Three Years Cicada was also planning something, and he had no intention of really fighting to the death.
So, Lu Yi just watched from the sidelines.
As he thought before, he hoped that both groups would suffer heavy losses.
The cicada's flesh and blood shell of the thirty-three-year-old cicada is also recorded in the "Liberation Method". It is indeed an excellent spiritual material for forging various defensive equipment. There are not many better materials in the chaos.
And these strange creatures of the Nine Lotus Alliance...
Not to mention how valuable they are in themselves, just the fact that Mother Yaohua's calamity-bringing technique comes from the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat makes Lu Yi very interested in knowing what the Nine Lotus Alliance is planning and what they want to do.
Time passes by little by little.
All the citizens of the Eastern Buddhist Kingdom, even their chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and even the willow trees, bayberry trees, loquats, peaches, apricots, etc. in front of and behind their houses, were all moved into the Red Dust World and came under the protection of Lu Yi.
Hongchentian was created by the old monk Hongchen after spending countless great calamities to refine it. It has extremely strong defenses, and uses countless gods and demons that are a bit "out of scope" for Lu Yi today as the hub of the formation, setting up an extremely powerful forbidden formation.
Even if Lu Yi dies, the Red Dust World will remain intact.
After stuffing all these people, including the inexplicably excited Ah Hu and others, into the Red Dust Heaven, and stuffing the caracal and the green snake in as well, Lu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly sat in the void, admiring the battle between the Thirty-Three Years Cicada and the Nine Lotus Alliance.
As the many creatures of the Nine Lotus Alliance continued to attack, the Thirty-Three Years Cicada had obviously expended a lot of energy.
The light shields that protected his body were broken layer by layer, and various attacks gradually fell on his body. Although his body was extremely large and powerful, the principle of water dripping through a stone was still useful at this moment. As countless attacks continued to fall, the Thirty-Three Years Cicada gradually cried out in pain. Compared with his huge abdomen, his slightly more delicate mouthparts also kept spurting out chaotic blood plasma like spring water.
Afterwards, the thirty-six bone gods and demons finally moved.
The strange chanting of the monk Pudu resounded through the sky, and the strange creatures surrounding these white-bone gods and demons all used secret methods to bless them. The size of these white-bone gods and demons began to expand rapidly. Under the urging of the secret spell and the blessing of the secret method, the white-bone gods and demons expanded to a height of thousands of miles, about the same size as the thirty-three-year-old cicada.
In the hands of the Skeleton Demon, strange bone weapons condensed and emerged, carrying monstrous evil fire, and fiercely chopped down at the Thirty-Three Years Cicada.
There were loud noises one after another, and wisps of pale white bone Buddha flames filled with a dead and empty aura flowed through the cracks on the body of the thirty-three-year cicada, drilling deep into his body. On the body of the thirty-three-year cicada, patches of pale white spots continued to appear, with dark purple lines inside that flickered rapidly, emitting a chilling and evil aura .
The thirty-three-year-old cicada let out a shrill howl. This white-boned demon was apparently restraining him.
No one knew what kind of fate and luck this monk Pudu had. These white bone gods and demons of his had forced Thirty-three Years Cicada into a state of embarrassment. Where his body was burned by the white bone Buddha flames, his physical defense power was rapidly declining. With a light blow from the besieged Nine Lotus League members, his shell suddenly cracked, revealing a large piece of crystal clear flesh and blood inside.
This went on for a long time. The Thirty-Three Years Cicada had been beaten all over with cracks of all sizes, and blood and flesh spurted out of its body like a fountain.
Monk Pudu laughed triumphantly: "My fellow Taoists, does my junior brother's body still impress you? It has not been refined yet, but it can withstand our joint attack for such a long time... If it is integrated into the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat, you can imagine how much the defense can be improved."
All the members of the Nine Lotus Alliance praised the move and attacked more fanatically and ruthlessly.
The thirty-three-year-old cicada finally couldn't bear it anymore. He let out a mournful cry and said in a hoarse voice: "In that case, what does it matter if I give it to you? But it's not that easy... Daoist friend Fahai, I will give you this useless body of mine and the cicada shells left over from my previous tribulation!"
Along with his roar, there was a loud bang, and the head of the Thirty-Three-Year Cicada exploded. A wisp of spiritual energy flew into the sky and disappeared in a flash.
His huge body and the twenty-three layers of cicada shells that he had once been were shrunk to a radius of a thousand miles, shining with a hazy and strange light. It flashed in front of Lu Yi and plunged directly into the layers of the mortal world that unfolded behind him.
As soon as these cicada shells and the bodies of the thirty-three-year-old cicadas touched the Red Dust Heaven, they melted away on their own like mercury pouring out of the ground, and merged into the Red Dust Heaven with extremely smoothness.
Lu Yi could clearly feel that the main structure of Hongchentian had indeed been strengthened.
His face suddenly turned dark.
From all directions, those belonging to the Nine Lotus Alliance have quietly surrounded them.
