"That’s right, the aura of that evil entity has also disappeared!"
One of the white-browed old monks stepped forward, gazed deeply at Xue An, then folded his hands in a respectful gesture toward him.
"Amitabha, may I ask who you are, benefactor? And what happened here?"
Xue An looked at these somewhat dogmatic monks and couldn’t help but shake his head.
"My name is Xue An. The evil entity here was just eradicated by me."
Xue An?
The monks looked at each other, none of them had heard this name before.
But that did not hinder their shock.
"What did you say? This evil entity has already been vanquished by you?" The white-browed old monk was astounded.
Xue An nodded with a smile.
Meanwhile,
The gigantic Buddha statue in the sky had already turned away, and darkness shrouded the earth.
Among the group of monks, a monk slowly stepped forward, pressing his palms together, "Brothers, I will take my leave first."
With that, he showed a resolute expression and was about to fly toward the distant iron pillar.
This had been their routine for years.
Ever since the evil creatures began causing chaos under the cover of night a century ago, every evening a monk would reinforce the iron pillar with their virtue to suppress the darkness.
The price was that without exception, all these monks lost their lives.
This is also the reason why the once flourishing Core Pure Land now has only a few monks left.
Because most monks have already sacrificed themselves.
At this moment, following the prearranged order, this monk was about to fly toward that iron pillar.
But Xue An suddenly blocked his way.
"Wait!"
The monk was slightly stunned, "Benefactor, what do you mean? Please step aside, or else if those evil entities topple the iron pillar, the whole world will collapse."
"And you’re just going to continue like this? Once you’re all gone, what will happen next?" Xue An coldly retorted.
The monks lowered their heads in silence. The white-browed old monk couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Benefactor, we also know this is not a long-term solution. But if we don’t do this, these evil entities will soon completely pollute this Pure Land, and by then, it will indeed be too late to turn back!"
"So even if we must sacrifice all of us, we must hold this piece of Pure Land." The old monk said resolutely.
The other monks, though silent, also pressed their palms together, their expressions firm and determined.
Looking at these monks, Xue An also couldn’t help but feel some admiration.
It cannot be denied that these people have indeed become quite rigid in their practice of Buddhism, but no matter what, their spirit of self-sacrifice is still moving.
No one can criticize such a group of people.
So he sighed lightly, "Alright, there’s no need to continue like this in the future. If this continues, within a year, even if this Pure Land isn’t polluted, its heritage will be cut off."
"Then what about these evil entities...?"
Xue An waved his hand, looking down at the ground starting to crack open, and said calmly, "I have a way to fundamentally resolve all of this!"
The monks were all shocked, and the white-browed old monk was even more urgent, "What way?"
Xue An lifted his head and smiled at them, "This method requires all of you to help me with no reservations, it might even damage your cultivation level. Are you willing?"
As soon as the words fell, the monks did not hesitate at all and nodded in unison.
What a joke.
They were willing to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs; minor damage to their cultivation is nothing compared to solving these evil entities.
Xue An looked down at the vast Demon City, saying softly, "The root of everything lies with the object underground, so as long as it is destroyed or suppressed, everything will be resolved."
"And what you need to do is lend all your Buddhist cultivation to me."
Meanwhile,
The Golden Wheel in Xue An’s mind shone even brighter, and a pristine Red Lotus appeared under his feet.
He pointed a finger at the ground, saying calmly, "Open!"
Boom!
At a word, the ground of the Demon City split open to both sides instantly.
More astonishing was that throughout the entire process, not a single creature was harmed.
Even an ant remained unharmed.
The ground revealed a deep, bottomless pit, and instantly, a violent black aura surged out, transforming into all kinds of eerie and terrifying evil entities, rushing at Xue An and the others with ferocity.
Xue An remained expressionless, lifting a hand and extending a finger to tap in the void before him.
Clap!
With a light sound, the void rippled like the surface of water, surging toward the oncoming evil entities.
As it approached, the shallow ripples had transformed into a colossal torrent, instantly destroying the first wave of attack from these evil entities.
But these entities, born of malice, were formless and immaterial. Though destroyed, they quickly reformed, charging once more.
Xue An lowered his eyes, the light on his face growing ever more pure, his black hair glowing like obsidian.
Then Xue An slowly said, "All dharmas, no self, no person, no sentient beings, no life span!"
"Thus is Vajra!"
At his words, behind Xue An, a colossal Buddha phantom suddenly appeared.
This Buddha statue stood millions of feet high, its demeanor as imposing as the Heavenly Emperor, eyes wide open, face manifesting rage.
The white-browed old monk looked up at this apparition, murmuring almost in a groan, "Vajra’s Furious Gaze! This is Vajra Lion’s Roar!"
