Xitian, Daleiyin Temple.

Analu came to Tathagata and said: "Buddha, heaven has sent troops again."

Tathagata shook his head, feeling very helpless to Heaven, and said, "Who did you send this time?"

"There are 800,000 more heavenly soldiers than last time. In addition, Erlang God Yang Jian and his Meishan brothers and 1,200 grass-headed gods have been dispatched."

Tathagata opened his eyes and said: "Yang Jian will not be the opponent of the dragon demon. This time, the heaven will be defeated."

The strong men in the entire heaven can actually be roughly divided into several levels.

The top level is those powerful people born at the beginning of the world, such as Sanqing, Buddha Mother, etc.

The next worst thing is those who were born at the same time, but their talents and circumstances were not good, and they were slightly inferior to the powerful beings such as Sanqing and Buddha Mother.

However, all of the above have basically gone to the outer chaos and don't care much anymore, so they can basically be ignored.

Then there are the principals among the four major forces of Buddha, Taoism, Heavenly Court, and scattered cultivators, such as the Taoist Heavenly Lord, the Buddhist Ancient Buddha, and the Heavenly Emperor.

Followed by the veteran gods of the major forces, Taoist Jade Ding Zhenren and Taiyi Zhenren, and Buddhist Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Third, there are the weak ones among the old immortals, such as Lei Zu. The strong ones among the new immortals, such as Yang Jian.

Sun Wukong's strength is equal to that of Yang Jian, which means that his true strength can only be regarded as the fifth level in the entire heaven.

But don’t think that it’s the fifth level’s turn to be weak.

From the beginning of heaven to the present, there are countless immortals who have attained immortality. Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, one was born thousands of years ago, and the other was born only a few hundred years ago, but they can surpass countless immortals who have attained enlightenment for tens of thousands of years, or even dozens of years.

The immortal who has been around for thousands of years has reached the fifth level, which shows his talent.

Think about Lei Zu, a long-established immortal in heaven. Isn't it because of insufficient talent and lack of opportunities that he can only be ranked at the fifth level now?

However, judging from the current performance, the Dragon Demon is even more terrifying.

Regardless of whether it was Master Jiugong or the Bull Demon King, their strength should be considered at the fifth level, but they were easily crushed by the Dragon Demon, and Lei Zu was killed by several moves.

This level of strength may have reached the fourth level, which is comparable to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he is also considered strong at this level.

"What is the intention of Heavenly Court to act like this? What is the plan of the person behind the scenes?"

Tathagata is worried about the way.

Strong men at the fourth level are important backbones even among ancient forces such as Buddhism and Taoism.

Compare Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva’s status in Buddhism.

But such a strong man was sent to the lower world, and his plans were huge.

Analuddha said: "World Honored One, perhaps this is a trick to boil the frog in warm water to destroy my Buddhist faith."

"Oh? Tell me what you think."

"Yes. Since the Dragon Demon Lower Realm, it has been wildly expanding its power in Shituoling. Except for the eight cities within the scope of Shituoling itself, it has only conquered humans in other areas, but Qiu Qiu has not committed any crimes.

From my perspective, this move should paralyze the Buddhists and make us think that they don’t care about my Buddhist beliefs in Xiniu Hezhou. But as the power of Shituoling continues to expand, its reputation is getting bigger and bigger, even if they don’t take the initiative to deal with it.

With my Buddhist faith, ordinary people will convert to demons out of fear.

Poaching a frog in such warm water may be the real killer move against my Buddhist faith."

The Buddha shook his head after hearing this and said: "Your guess is wrong. Those who would change their faith because of this kind of thing in the first place can only be regarded as light believers. For me, Buddhism, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Secondly, the root of Buddhist belief lies in the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of our Buddhism. Even if we change today, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the lower realms will also be changed in the future. It is not worth mentioning.

However, one thing you said is right, that is, the other party really wants to attack my Buddhist beliefs.

Now, the humans under the huge power of Shituoling live in fear of demons. In the future, after Heaven defeats Shituoling and these humans escape from fear, it is very likely that they will transform their faith from Buddhism to

Heaven."

"Ah? But World Honored One, now that the court has been defeated repeatedly, can we still gain faith in this way?"

The Tathagata said: "So what if we are defeated repeatedly? As long as we win in the end and destroy the dragon demon, no one will remember the countless defeats before the victory, but only this one victory. Moreover, the more defeats there are, the worse the human race will be."

The more desperate you are, the more magnificent the hope it brings in the end."

Analu hurriedly said: "Heaven actually has such an idea? World Honored One, what should we do?"

"Don't be anxious, Buddhism will never be destroyed, faith will never die, and a temporary change of faith is nothing more than a small matter. The real big thing is... behind Heavenly Court's move, does it mean that they are going to war with my Buddhist sect?"

In the past, when Buddhism and Taoism competed, Taoism slightly won, but not by much. After Buddhism retreated, both sides have maintained a state of restraint.

Now directly snatching faith is tantamount to tearing one's face apart.

Although on the surface, there is nothing wrong with Heavenly Court’s approach.

But how can we just look at the surface of things in heaven?

If Taoism and Heaven really want to go to war, Buddhism has the best preparation.

Moreover, Heavenly Court's plan must also be destroyed and cannot be allowed to succeed.

The problem is that although Heavenly Court does not follow martial ethics when doing this, it does comply with the rules on the surface.

If Buddhism wants to cause trouble, it must comply with the rules on the surface. It is impossible to go directly to the world and break the ancient covenant.

Tathagata thought for a while and quickly came up with a plan.

"Analu, where did the golden cicada go on its westward journey?"

Human world, lion and camel ridge.

boom!

The violent air waves swept all around, and the criss-crossing power made the six Meishan brothers dare not approach. They could only watch from a distance and use magic to support Yang Jian.

The six Meishan brothers are the Fourth Lieutenant Kang, Zhang Yao, Li, and the Second General Guo Shenzhijian. The six of them and Erlang Shen are sworn brothers. Together, they are known as the Seven Sages of Meishan.

The Seven Monsters of Meishan, a group of monsters that appeared in The Romance of the Gods, are not the same group as the Seven Saints of Meishan, and may not even be counted as Lianxiang.

Because many ancient place names are repeated, it is very common for two mountains to be called Meishan.

These six brothers followed Yang Jian around. Not to mention their magical powers, they also had sufficient training resources. Especially with Yang Jian's guidance, any one of them on their own was no less inferior to a general like the Giant Spirit God.

However, this kind of strength cannot interfere with Zhou Ming and Erlang Shen's battlefield at all.

In the battlefield, Yang Jian was dressed in silver armor and looked majestic. His heavenly eyes flashed on his forehead, and his three-pointed and two-edged spear danced like the wind.

Zhou Ming transformed into a half-dragon, wearing scale armor, holding a sword in one hand and a diamond seal in the other, and engaged in the purest close combat martial arts showdown with Yang Jian.

Although this was the case, the two of them showed no defense at all, and every move they made was purely offensive, extremely ruthless.

If you fight in this way, you will probably be slashed dozens of times in an instant, no matter how hard it is for both sides.

However, Yang Jian practiced eight or nine mysterious skills, and his muscles and bones were indestructible.

Although Zhou Ming does not have this indestructible body, he is covered in scales to form a defense, so he is naturally not weak. He has also formed a diamond seal to cover his whole body, making him invulnerable to weapons, water and fire.

In a short period of time, the two fought for hundreds of rounds, but neither could do anything to the other.

The third eye on Yang Jian's forehead flashed. Although he did not turn his head, he could already see the entire battlefield in all directions.

As for the soldiers, the demon army in Shituoling was suppressed by 1.6 million heavenly soldiers and generals.

Many middle-level and high-level monsters are no match for the many gods and generals in Heaven.

But in terms of top combat power, Shituoling still has the Bull Demon King and Jiugong Zhenren.

Among them, Master Jiugong has already faced off against the resurrected Lei Zu.

Jiugong Zhenren's speed is unparalleled, Lei Zu's Jade Sky Divine Thunder is infinitely powerful, and the fight between the two sides is inseparable.

But another top-notch combat power, the Bull Demon King, was invincible on the battlefield and had no opponent. He relied on his own fighting power to stop countless divine generals and heavenly soldiers, so that the Shituoling side would not collapse quickly.

Seeing this, Yang Jian smiled unconsciously.

This wave, the heavens have the upper hand!

Little did they know that at the same time, Zhou Ming also showed the same smile.

The wind got stronger and stronger at some point.

There is already a lot of wind in the sky. The two sides are fighting, and they are both practitioners. Spells are constantly being cast, and any powerful spell will bring up strong winds.

Therefore, neither of the warring parties felt anything wrong with the strong wind blowing around them.

But on the battlefield, there were countless divine generals and heavenly soldiers, and someone noticed this, and that was the God of Wind who was responsible for blowing the wind in the Ministry of Thunder.

He was responsible for blowing the wind when the mine department was making thunder, and he knew the wind best. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now that the wind was getting stronger, he felt that something was wrong.

Such wind force is definitely not normal.

At this moment, Lei Zu was fighting with Master Jiugong, so Fengshen reported the matter to Li Jing.

Li Jing was responsible for commanding the entire army and taking charge of the battle situation. He didn't pay attention at first, but after being reminded by the God of Wind, he immediately discovered that the strong wind blowing on the battlefield was getting stronger and stronger.

The most important thing is that these strong winds are blowing against their heavenly soldiers and generals, and have already had some impact on those heavenly soldiers and generals.

It's just that these effects are very slight, so no one has reported it yet, and no heavenly soldiers will be unable to fight due to this level of wind, so Li Jing didn't notice it.

"This strong wind is so strange, it must be the conspiracy of the demon! God of Wind, do you have any way to stop it?"

Feng Shen said: "Marshal, please forgive me, the little god is weak and far inferior to that dragon demon. I really can't find the source of this wind."
