Chapter 286 Earth God Vajra, Heavenly Spirit Dream Body
Fire rained down from the sky, and flames engulfed the important town of Brahma.
The extraordinary bodhisattva avatar, on which the Qiang ethnic group's divine general placed his hopes, was destroyed. Not to mention extinguishing the fire and saving people, even these deities themselves could not save themselves.
"Run away!"
Even He Luo and Chi Long, who had the upper hand, were terrified in an instant and abandoned their two divine general mechs, fleeing to the left and right respectively.
It should be understood that the Bodhisattva of Supreme Victory only came in an avatar, while they came in person to help in the battle. They cannot be defeated here!
"Still trying to run?"
The Thousand Transformations Ancestor, piloting the Celestial Mech, gave chase and quickly disappeared into the night.
The Sun Goddess stood in mid-air, her gaze fixed on the center of the important town.
However, atop the nine pagodas, a golden statue gradually took shape, and judging from its appearance, it was none other than the Venerable Victorious Observation, who had attained Buddhahood on either side of Brahma.
This person was the founder of Brahma, the person most valued by Brahma, who became a great being before Brahma himself, and who guided Brahma on the path to sainthood. He is known as the Buddha of the past.
"Thirty thousand Brahma soldiers are summoned in unison, ensuring the safety of this pure land. Non-action leads to the creation of all phenomena, and the arising of dependent origination and emptiness leads to self-conquest!"
The golden statue was about three zhang tall, with a square face and large ears. It sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, chanting scriptures. The flames that burned around its body gathered like the ocean merging into a vast river, converging towards the halo behind the golden statue's head.
"Want to put out the fire? Did you even ask me?"
With a flap of her wings, the Sun Goddess unleashed boundless solar fire that descended upon the Buddha statue at Sheng Guan Temple, causing the rapidly waning flames to reignite.
This action does not directly amplify the fire, but rather blocks the channel through which the image of the Victorious Buddha absorbs the flames, thus avoiding any connection to human karma.
Upon seeing this, the Buddha of Victory sat in the lotus position, with his right hand hanging down in front of his knee, palm facing inward.
"Form the earth-touching mudra to subdue all demons!"
In an instant, boundless earth energy rose from the ground, gradually condensing into a colossal earth god nearly a thousand feet tall behind the three-zhang-tall statue of the Victorious Buddha.
Ordinary demons would surely be intimidated by this enormous god, but the Sun Goddess showed no fear whatsoever.
Not to mention that she was born from the Fusang Divine Tree, a celestial treasure spiritual root, her past life as the Lesser Yin Divine Lord also gave her a sufficiently strong Dao heart.
"What is a demon? When the Brahma soldiers wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, we tried to stop them, but you treated us as demons?"
The Brahma religion has an agreement with the Heavenly Court that the Brahma gods are not allowed to enter the Central Plains, but this does not affect the travel of the Brahma people.
Previously, Brahmins mostly came to the Central Plains to preach. After Brahma joined the Heavenly Court, some Brahma gods obtained positions in the Heavenly Court. As if they had a powerful backer, Brahmins began to preach recklessly, which led to the destruction of Brahma by the Human Emperor.
Many people say that the Human Emperor's suppression of Buddhism was a good thing, but his inaction lies in the fact that after suppressing Buddhism, he confiscated a large amount of property and did not severely punish the powerful and wealthy who colluded with Buddhism, which is why the people were full of complaints.
Therefore, the starting point for the Brahma soldiers' rebellion was very problematic. In addition, many of the Brahma soldiers were Brahma people living at the foot of Mount Ling, which made them able to be called invaders!
The birth of the Sun Goddess to aid Li Hui's troops demonstrates her righteousness in resisting foreign enemies.
On the contrary, the act of the Buddha's image assisting the victorious Brahma army is an evil act that only cares about its own interests!
"The light of the sun and moon shines upon the earth, and the spirits of the past and present converge!"
The Sun Goddess stared directly at the colossal Earth God behind the Buddha of Victory and questioned:
"Now that the Brahmanical religion has invaded, how can you aid the Brahmanical army?"
The earth deity summoned by the Buddha's image is formed from the accumulated power of countless living beings in this basin over millions of years. If the earth deity helps the Brahma soldiers without distinguishing between good and evil, then it is aiding and abetting evil without distinguishing between friend and foe!
"Wow—"
Looking down at the massive earth god behind the Buddha, Sheng Guan saw that nearly half of the 30,000 Brahma soldiers were not from the Central Plains, and many of them were wicked.
Clearly, in order to invade China, the Brahma Cult deliberately incorporated the most heinous criminals into its army, euphemistically calling it "meritorious service in killing the enemy" to cleanse their sins. "Om!"
Before the earth god could dissolve itself, the lotus platform beneath the feet of the Buddha suddenly rose from the ground.
"Lotus blossoms emerge from the earth, their veins penetrate the mud. Greed, anger, and ignorance are worldly desires, while precepts, concentration, and wisdom are the roots of the Pure Land."
In an instant, countless rays of Buddha light pierced through the roots of the lotus platform and entered the massive earth god's body. Some transformed into young novice monks, some into sorrowful monks, some into angry Dharma protectors, and some into abbots dressed in fine clothes...
In an instant, the earth god statue connected with the Buddha's light and the believers of this pure land. Its body, which was about to dissipate, solidified again and radiated rolling Buddha's light, as if a Vajra Arhat from the Brahma tradition had personally arrived.
"As expected of the Brahma sect!" The Sun Goddess couldn't help but be on high alert.
Brahma was a disciple of the Buddha Sheng Guan, which opened up the path of salvation. Unexpectedly, the Buddha Sheng Guan's supernatural powers were even more bizarre, and could even be described as forcibly "seizing" a body!
Most importantly, the Earth God is a test that cultivators must face when they merge with the Dao and establish their own realm. They are called quasi-great powers, or at least top-tier divine lords.
The Sun Goddess was transformed from a wisp of Zhang Xiaolian's true spirit. With the help of the flying fire meteor and her noble bloodline, she possessed the powerful combat strength of a divine lord in the form of a divine general, but she was no match for the Vajra Arhat transformed from the Earth God.
As for Zhang Xiaolian's still-developing path of exploration, it was fine for dealing with the incarnation of the Supreme Bodhisattva, but it was quite difficult to deal with the incarnation of the Great Powerful Buddha, not to mention that the other party had also borrowed the power of the Pure Land.
Seeing the angry eyes of the Vajra Arhat transformed from the Earth God, Zhang Xiaolian couldn't help but look up into the depths of the night sky.
It was late at night, and the bright moon hung in the sky like a round plate. The white clouds under the moon parted, as if a fairy was descending from the sky.
"The sun and moon shine in the sky, yet the heart is like a dream; the transformation between illusion and reality is clear; the yin and yang and the four elements are infinitely changeable; I can transform into three bodies and roam freely!"
With a soft chant, the Moon Fairy transformed into a clear moon and descended to the mountaintop, while the Sun Goddess radiated countless rays of light like a golden sun. At the intersection of fantasy and reality, the light of the sun and moon gradually condensed into a sky-covering divine image.
Ordinary people vaguely sensed that the distance between heaven and earth was narrowing, spiritual cultivators mistook it for a change in the color of heaven and earth, and only the immortals and gods who were paying attention to this place knew what this scene meant.
A cultivator who wishes to attain enlightenment will successively encounter three trials: the trials of the human god, the earth god, and the heaven god.
To become a god or a mortal, one needs to reach a certain level of cultivation. To merge with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, one must be at least at the level of a God-King or an Immortal-King.
The Earth God is formed from the accumulated essence of the earth throughout history. It is said that when a certain Buddha attained enlightenment, he was disturbed by evil spirits. The Buddha used the Earth Touch Mudra to activate the power of the Earth God and subdue countless evil spirits.
The celestial deities, also known as celestial spirits, are the mysterious entities of a region of heaven and earth, and can also be referred to as avatars of the celestial way.
It was not surprising that the Buddha could summon the Earth God in his incarnation, but what was unexpected was that this Sun Goddess could actually condense a celestial spirit incarnation.
"The battle between the Earth God and the Heavenly Spirit is probably the most exciting fight since the Dragon Struggle began!"
Since the Dragon War began, the most powerful duel has only reached the level of a God General, but this battle has already touched the level of a Quasi-Great Power.
"The Sun Goddess appeared out of nowhere and was so compatible with an existence who had mastered the Dao of the Bright Moon. The power of the sun and moon merging together to form the Heavenly Spirit is truly unprecedented!"
Many immortals and gods were greatly surprised, feeling that their horizons had broadened.
"Not only the Sun Goddess and the Moon Fairy, but also a trailblazer who has mastered the Way of Dreams. The three are probably not separate individuals, but rather a single entity!"
The one who spoke was none other than the Immortal Lord of Li Huo. This person was no less capable than an ordinary great power, and his eyesight was sharp. He immediately saw through Zhang Xiaolian's ability to transform into three bodies.
She has three forms: the first is the Sun Goddess, the second is the Moon Fairy, and the third is the illusory dream form.
The Bright Moon Fairy is Zhang Xiaolian's Dao Fruit from her previous life, the Sun Goddess is the manifestation of the Heavenly Treasure Spiritual Root, the Fusang Divine Tree, and the Illusory Dream Body is the result of Zhang Xiaolian's continuous cultivation based on the legacy of her previous life. Only when these three are combined can Zhang Xiaolian reach her strongest state! (End of Chapter)
