The dragon’s hum, the tiger’s roar, the phoenix’s cry, and the turtle’s bellow incessantly converge between Heaven and Earth, their power as the Four Great Holy Beasts countering the myriad Buddhist Magic Treasures.
The Four Great Holy Beasts act as the Primordial World’s first barrier of defense. As Guardians of the Primordial World, their power safeguards Heaven and Earth. Even if the Four Symbols Formation can only channel a sliver of the Four Symbols Divine Power, its mysterious and dreadful might is immense—these Buddhist Magic Treasures are hard-pressed to breakthrough.
In the midst of their anxiety, the Four Great Bodhisattvas suddenly heard the voice of The Buddha: "The Jie Sect is most adept at Array Formations. Even a common Four Symbols Array, in the hands of a Jie Sect Disciple, can evoke miraculous power from decay. Now, I shall impart to you the Breaking Formation Method."
All Four Great Bodhisattvas listened intently.
Moments later, the Four Great Bodhisattvas had understood. Typically, a Four Symbols Array has four Array Bases; to break the Array, you would need to destroy the four corners of the Array Formation simultaneously, obliterating the Array Bases. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel-fire.net
However, the Jie Sect’s Four Symbols Array is different. Although it also has four Array Bases which draw upon the power of the Four Symbols, the locations of these Array Bases are not fixed at the four corners. They can move freely. Merely attacking the corners is insufficient to break the Array. Instead, one must strike a hidden vital point, forcing out the location of the Array Bases, and only then can one break the Array.
Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately transmitted her voice: "Golden Light Buddha, Dragon Venerate King Buddha, Bright Buddha, Qingjing Buddha, you must immediately attack the central node of the Four Symbols Array Formation with all your might."
Golden Light Buddha’s heart stirred. Could it be that was the location of the Array’s vital point? Being from the Jie Sect himself, Golden Light Buddha also knew the peculiarity of the Jie Sect’s Four Symbols Array. It’s just that the vital point chosen by each Array Formation person differed, and the center node was the most predictable and most easily destroyed location. Why would they place the vital point there? It doesn’t make sense, or maybe they’re not that foolish!
Obeying the command, the four Daluo Buddhas caused ripples to spread in the surrounding void, instantly disappearing into the emptiness.
The Big Array turned, radiating Divine Light; the Great Buddhist Arrays also pressed forward, bringing forth the Golden Lotus Formation, the Arhat Formation, the Mandala Array, and the Bodhi Array. Four formidable Arrays converged, as numerous Buddhist Magic Treasures descended fiercely.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ As the Big Array clashed and Magic Treasures intersected, the Sky Vault cracked incessantly, entirely containing Yang Jian, Nezha, and the others. The Four Symbols Divine Formation operated at full capacity, barely holding off the frenzied onslaught from Buddhism.
In the midst of the battle, four beams of light suddenly descended in the central region of the Array Formation, instantly striking the heart of the Formation—Boom~ The Buddha Light spread across the Big Array, creating a separate domain of Array Formation that began to quiver, as runes flashed and flickered.
At the four gates, Yang Jiao and others had a bright cornerstone light beneath their feet, the light of runes circulating like liquid.
From afar atop a golden cloud, the Four Great Bodhisattvas all had peculiar expressions. It really was at the four gates—what’s the difference between this and the commonly known Four Symbols Divine Formation? How does it live up to the Jie Sect’s reputation? I even thought the Array Base was intricately concealed.
Boom~ Four Buddha Lights fell once more, the Big Array issued a rumble, and Yang Jiao and others saw their footlights grow even brighter.
Rumble~ As the Great Buddhist Array and numerous Magic Treasures took the opportunity to press down, even the Four Symbols Divine Power seemed insufficient; the Array became unstable, and runes began to collapse, on the verge of being broken.
Standing atop the White Tiger Position, Yang Jiao, with the wind blowing wildly, his hair flying and his robes billowing, shouted loudly: "Sacrifice the Array Base~"
The great Buddhist figures were all stunned. Had he gone mad? Or was he out of options? The Array Base is the foundation of a Big Array, the core that is usually well-protected and hidden—the very Origin of the Big Array. It’s always concealed, and yet, they want to expose the Array Base? Could it be that they wish to surrender?
Yang Jian, Ao Bing, and Nezha shouted in unison, "Sacrifice!"
The character for White Tiger emitted a bright light as a Blood Lotus slowly rose from beneath it, surrounded by four small swords circling in flight. The Tongtian Sect Master provided the Array Map, and Ping Xin Niangniang joined forces with Nuwa to refine it into the innate Exterminating Immortals and Slaying Gods Array.
Beneath the Vermilion Bird Formation where Yang Jian was situated, a massive seal arose, glorious and profound, carved with towering mountains on the top and the words "Fan Tian" on the bottom – it was the top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure Sky Flipping Seal personally refined by the Primordial Venerable.
Atop the Southern Vermilion Bird Position where Ao Bing was located, a vermilion feather arose above the words Vermilion Bird, ablaze with Liu Li flames. It was the Vermilion Bird Feather from the Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage, stealthily plucked by the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Girl.
In the Azure Dragon Position where Nezha stood, the words Azure Dragon shone with light, and from within them rose a long whip, which was casually plucked vine turned into a whip during Nuwa’s creation of humanity, later transformed into a whip through the acquisition of Merit.
The phantom images of the Four Great Holy Beasts – Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise – opened their mouths and spat out four Divine Artifacts, roaring as all Magic Treasures were uncontrollably blown away, their Spirit Light dispersing, with numerous Acquired Spiritual Treasures being directly shattered.
At the same moment, many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Spiritual Mountain spat blood in unison, their minds and spirits shaken.
Bang Bang Bang Bang – All four major Buddhist Arrays collapsed in an instant, and tens of thousands of Arhats bled and tumbled down from the Cloud Head, utterly powerless to resist.
Standing above the golden cloud, the surviving Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were all dumbfounded, faces filled with disbelief.
Manjusri Bodhisattva pointed at the Array, unbelievably saying, "This... is the Array Base stronger than the Array itself?"
Universal Virtue Bodhisattva also murmured, "With these four treasures as the Array Base, how can we not summon the power of the Four Saints?" How could those Sacred Beasts dare to not show face to the owners of these treasures? Among them is also the Vermilion Bird Feather; isn’t this blatant cheating? This is absolutely preposterous, preposterous indeed.
In the Heavenly Court Bird Nest, All Immortals all turned to look at Bai Jin.
Zhao Gongming remarked with emotion, "Brother, your move was truly ruthless! You didn’t give Buddhism any chance to resist."
Even Kong Xuan, Golden Peng, and the others all nodded in agreement. When did brother acquire the Vermilion Bird Feather without anyone knowing? And that Sky Flipping Seal, how did he get it? Wasn’t there talk that brother and Guang Chengzi weren’t on good terms?
Bai Jin sincerely said, "Yang Jiao came to borrow Magic Treasures from me, so I lent them to him. The rest of the treasures have nothing to do with me, and I was completely unaware."
"Ah~ Ah~ Brother, you made your move without even telling me. Wuuu~ You all made your moves, leaving me out."
Shi Ji looked at Bai Jin and said somberly, "I did not lend out any treasures either."
"Wuuu~ Sister, we are so pitiful, they didn’t include us in their fun," Gu Liang ran over to Shi Ji, hugging her arm pitifully.
Bai Jin immediately turned to Zhao Gongming and scolded, "How could you not include your sisters in your fun? This is completely outrageous! Gu Liang, don’t be sad. I’ll vent your frustration in a moment."
Zhao Gongming hurriedly explained, "Brother, we thought you..."
"Thought what? Stop making excuses; this time it’s your fault. You must courageously admit your mistakes."
Zhao Gongming and the others were speechless. Is it really okay for you to deflect the blame so openly and nobly?
The phantom images of the Four Great Holy Beasts circled in the sky, then flew back above the Array, hovering over the heads of Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing.
