Chapter 158: Death upon becoming a saint, the first saint taken away by the Great Dao!
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, many of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in my Western Buddhist sect are disciples of your Jiejiao. It would be fine if you didn't help them, but you actually want to stop us from taking action?"

Taoist Jie Yin frowned and looked at Master Tong Tian, ​​his eyes full of confusion.

He didn't understand.

Isn’t this Master Tongtian a person who is extremely protective of his own people?
Why did he have to watch his disciples of the Jiejiao being destroyed in the catastrophe this time?
"Hmph~ This time, all practitioners below the level of Saints will face this world-destroying catastrophe. It's a catastrophe, it's fate, everything depends on fate, no one can stop it, including you and me..."

Tongtian Sect Master's tone was still cold.

In fact, he really wants to go out and rescue all his disciples of Jiejiao.

But he can't do that.

Because he knew it very well.

This world-destroying catastrophe was driven by his master, Patriarch Hongjun.

If he intervened too much.

It will definitely attract the attention of Patriarch Hongjun.

His master had waited for countless epochs in order to be promoted to a Great Saint.

Now, he was only one step away from completing the holy position.

At this juncture.

He dared not do anything to go against his master's wishes.

He only hoped that after his master became a great saint, he could use his power of creation to restore those disciples of the Jiejiao who died in the catastrophe to their places.

……

at the same time.

Xitian Daleiyin Temple.

As a long blood-red rainbow passed by.

The gate of the temple was blown to pieces.

Followed by.

Chen Li's corpse rushed straight into the Great Leiyin Temple's palace, leaving corpses everywhere where it passed.

Those novice monks and arhats who came to stop him from entering the pure land of Buddhism.

He killed them all, leaving no one alive.

Even those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have reached the Daluo Heaven realm are the same.

The level of cultivation of the self-corpse is determined by the obsession of the person being beheaded.

Everything Chen Li has is due to his daughter.

This time he came to the Western Paradise to save his daughter.

So this obsession can be said to be very deep.

Almost no one can shake it.

therefore.

The cultivation level of this self-corpse is also extremely terrifying.

Although he does not have the appearance of a saint!

But it is not much inferior.

If I have to describe it in one word.

That is a half-step saint.

Stronger than a quasi-saint, but slightly inferior to a saint.

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian and others followed Chen Li and galloped all the way. All they saw on the road were bloody corpses.

It didn't take long.

Chen Li's corpse rushed to the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple in the West.

And this moment.

The Buddha Tathagata, who had been rescued by the two saints from the West, was resting with his eyes closed on the lotus platform.

Standing beside him were many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with profound knowledge of Buddhism.

Except for those who were killed by Chen Li before, almost all the others are here.

It seemed that the Buddha Tathagata had known that Chen Li would come.

After seeing Chen Li, he was not surprised at all. He just drooped his eyelids lightly and said in a deep voice: "Chen Li, put down the butcher knife, become a Buddha right now, and stop being stubborn." "Hehe~ If putting down the butcher knife is just for me to let go of my hatred for you Xitian Buddhist sect, then why should I put down this butcher knife?"

Although Chen Li is now in the form of a corpse, he also has the same thoughts as Chen Li.

In other words, he is now the incarnation of Chen Li walking in the world.

He raised his head and looked at Buddha Tathagata with red eyes.

Then he dodged and killed the opponent.

His figure approached Buddha like a ghost, and with every step he took, the void around him trembled.

"Today, the Western Heaven Buddhist Sect will not leave a single person alive..."

The voice was deep and cold, as if every word carried endless murderous intent.

The Buddha had a solemn expression on his face, his hands clasped together, and a faint golden light surrounded his body.

That was the Buddha's light protecting his body condensed from his profound Buddhist practice.

He knew very well that Chen Li's strength was extraordinary at this moment.

But as the Buddha, he would never retreat.

The battle between the two broke out instantly.

Chen Li suddenly opened his huge mouth, and an irresistible devouring force surged out of his mouth, trying to swallow the Buddha and everything around him into his stomach.

This power is so powerful that even the space is distorted in front of it, showing the terrifying power of the Sky-Swallowing Hound that devours all things.

However, Tathagata Buddha was not in a hurry. He chanted a Buddhist name, and Buddha's light shone brightly all over his body, forming a golden light curtain that blocked all of Chen Li's devouring power.

At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and a dazzling relic gradually condensed in the palm of his hand, emitting a warm and peaceful light.

"Chen Li, the sea of ​​suffering is endless. It is better to turn back before you can return to the shore. Although you are an ancient vicious beast, you still have the opportunity to turn to good."

The voice of Tathagata Buddha was gentle yet firm, as if it could wash away all sins.

But Chen Li would never listen to this.

He roared angrily, the black energy around him became stronger, and he launched another fierce attack.

This time, he not only used the strength of his physical body, but also integrated the power of his soul into it, making each strike contain destructive power.

Upon seeing this, Tathagata Buddha frowned, he knew that this battle was unavoidable, so he no longer held back his strength, and Buddha's light surged from his body, bringing the profound meaning of Buddhism to its extreme.

His figure flashed and instantly turned into thousands of Buddha shadows, surrounding Chen Li. Each Buddha shadow contained supreme Buddhist teachings, trying to convert this ferocious Sky-Swallowing Hound.

But Chen Li's hatred for the Western Heaven Buddhism has penetrated deep into his bones, and he is obsessed with it. How can he be converted so easily?

He let out a long roar towards the sky, and the black energy on his body instantly transformed into the phantoms of ferocious beasts with hideous faces, which engaged in fierce combat with the Buddha shadows.

The entire main hall suddenly fell into chaos.

However, just as the fierce battle reached its climax.

The Buddha Tathagata was suddenly shocked, and a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

In this life-and-death struggle, he unexpectedly touched upon the highest realm of Buddhism.

He has already accomplished perfect merit.

Now that the calamity has come, he has finally become a saint and has taken one step into the realm of sainthood.

But the moment he took this step.

A mysterious and powerful force suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped him completely.

The face of Tathagata Buddha turned extremely pale in an instant.

He was horrified to find that he was unable to resist this force!
"Is this... the power of the Great Dao?"

The Buddha was horrified.

He never expected that he would encounter such a terrible change just after becoming a saint.

As the mysterious force pulled him along, the figure of Tathagata Buddha gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the vast road. His body and soul disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

See this scene.

Everyone present widened their eyes, with expressions of horror on their faces.

At the moment when Buddha Tathagata became a saint, he was actually taken away by the Great Dao!

What exactly is going on?
