Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jiufeng left Dalin Temple. He had gained quite a lot here. He wiped out a demon’s den and filled in the missing parts of the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait. His next step was to find more demon’s den and demonic creatures.

Lin Jiufeng set his sights on the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was located in the West Lake of Jiangnan Road. It was the most famous scenic spot in the Jiangnan area.

The West Lake was a scenic spot that one had to visit if they were in the Jiangnan area.

But in the recent decade or so, West Lake has become quiet.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower appeared from the depths of the West Lake.

At that time, their appearance was regarded as a miracle and many people worshipped them.

But with the appearance of the demonic creatures near the tower, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower gradually began to change.

It became somewhat demonic in nature.

Some tourists had even personally witnessed a huge poisonous python coiling around the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower under the cover of the night.

The python flicked its tongue and its pupils were cold as it stared at the land of Jiangnan.

Some people also saw terrifying demonic creatures roaring at the bottom of the West Lake.

There were also demonic creatures rampaging and roaring at night.

It was horrifying just to hear their screams and shrieks.

The people of Jiangnan Road had become so scared of living so close to those creatures that they no longer dared to approach Jiangnan Road.

In recent years, West Lake has become extremely cold and quiet.

Lin Jiufeng heard all of these from Monk Qingyun.

After leaving Dalin Temple, he went straight to the West Lake and saw the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

In the middle of the pristine West Lake stood a huge Buddhist pagoda.

Counting the floors carefully, the pagoda had 18 levels to it.

The exterior of this Buddhist pagoda looked sublime and divine.

At first impression, even Lin Jiufeng felt that the tower was a very orthodox and ancient Buddhist sect.

Let alone the common people.

There were many Buddhist believers in the Jiangnan area, which was why the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was able to cause such a stir.

“What a magnificent Buddhist pagoda…”

The white cat laid on Lin Jiufeng’s shoulder and praised gently.

“Let’s observe them for the night.”

Lin Jiufeng was in no hurry to go in. He sat in a pavilion by the West Lake.

It was still daytime, so the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower looked relatively normal.

He wanted to see if any special changes would happen on the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower at night.

The white cat had no objections.

She quietly waited for the night with Lin Jiufeng.

The night came and a grand curtain fell.

The entire West Lake was silent, not even the sound of insects could be heard.

It was so quiet that Lin Jiufeng could clearly hear the white cat’s heartbeat.

Lin Jiufeng’s entire being became one with the night. He was at the Boundless Realm, so his connection with heaven and the earth was even more profound.

In his eyes, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had swept away the holiness and grandeur that it displayed during the day.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower in the dark became demonic and terrifying.

The Buddha statues, arhats, and Bodhisattvas carved on the Buddhist pagoda constantly changed shapes in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

Asuras, yaksha, evil spirits.

There were demonic creatures running amok in the pagoda, and there were terrifying existences struggling with all their might.

The entire pagoda was on the verge of collapse.

“Look at the water!” The white cat covered her eyes, revealing only a small gap.

Lin Jiufeng lowered his head to take a look. In the lake, a huge black python wrapped its body around a portion of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower that was beneath the water.

Poison Python!

It was the poisonous python that Monk Qingyun had mentioned.

Lin Jiufeng also noticed that its tail was suppressed under the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

It was why it continuously entangled the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, wanting to bring it down with it so that it could escape.

After watching for so long, Lin Jiufeng discovered a strange phenomenon.

Where were the monks from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower?

He only saw demonic creatures running amok, but none of the powerhouses from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

Night fell.

In the wee hours, Lin Jiufeng continued to observe.

A line of words suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower?]

Lin Jiufeng nodded. “Sign in!”

He wanted to see what he could receive from signing-in in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower that was home to both Buddhists and demons.

[Sign-In successful. Received Buddha Demon Golden Body!]

A powerful secret manual instantly appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind.

The Buddha Demon Golden Body was a golden body made from the fusion of Buddha and demons. True Qi continuously gathered in Lin Jiufeng’s body as he began to practice the cultivation technique.

With a cracking sound, he began to forge his own Buddha Demon Golden Body.

‘The original intention of the Buddha Demon Golden Body is to combine the scripture meaning of [Buddha] with the principle of [Demon]. They will become inseparable parts, achieving a perfect fusion before turning into an invincible golden body.’ Lin Jiufeng murmured in his heart.

A thousand feet tall golden body silently appeared behind him.

In the dark night, the thousand feet tall golden body looked extremely huge.

Its figure that flickered with golden light attracted the attention of the demonic creatures. Each of them stopped fighting against the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower and stared at Lin Jiufeng’s thousand feet tall golden body.

Shuash!

The poisonous python under the water immediately crawled out of the surface. Its body wrapped around the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower as it straightened its head. Its cold vertical pupils stared at the thousand feet golden body as it let out a deafening roar.

Roar!!!

At this moment, the waters of the West Lake surged and roared.

Wild winds howled in the night. The countless demonic creatures went crazy as they rushed out of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower one by one. The scene of them rushing out was mind-numbing, to say the least.

They wanted to devour Lin Jiufeng…

The golden body he possessed made the demonic creatures go completely mad.

The monks who had disappeared from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower all this time also appeared.

They stood on the highest floor and watched with cold sinister eyes.

“Is he a contemporary Buddhist powerhouse?” A thin old monk coldly observed.

“We have already fed the poisonous python till it recovered its strength…”

“Moreover, the seal of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower is about to be opened. When the million-strong demonic creatures come out and sweep across the world to construct a demonic kingdom in the mortal realm, you will be able to live forever…”

The monk beside him complimented.

“I have believed in Buddha for three thousand years. I have worshiped Buddha for three thousand years. Buddha had always been a sacred existence in my heart. But I didn’t expect that I, who believed in Buddha so much, wouldn’t be able to enter Paradise…”

“Instead, I have to suffer from illness and pain.”

“Buddha couldn’t save me…”

“He enjoyed my incense for three thousand years.”

“Now, I want to take them all back,” the old monk murmured softly.

He was the current abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, Monk Shengyun.

Without him, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower wouldn’t have become like this.

His indulgence gave the demonic creatures a chance to grow.

He reached an agreement with the demonic creatures.

The demonic creatures would help him get rid of his illness and let him live forever.

He was already very old.

It was at this moment that he finally understood the meaning of the words ‘the old demon becomes the Buddha, the old Buddha becomes the demon’.

“After killing this Buddhist powerhouse and then dealing with that old monk who suppressed the Buddhist pagoda, this group of demonic creatures shall come into being. When that happens, the entire world will despair.” Monk Shengyun licked his lips excitedly.

He felt that even though he was being a bad person for the first time, he was quite qualified in being one.

He regarded Lin Jiufeng—who had condensed the Buddha Demon Golden Bod—as a senior monk of one of the Buddhist sects.

Thus, at this moment, millions of demonic creatures rushed over to him, wanting to kill Lin Jiufeng in a frenzy.

Lin Jiufeng, who was sitting upright in the pavilion, suddenly opened his eyes.

The thousand feet golden body also opened its eyes.

Lin Jiufeng reached out and slapped down.

The thousand feet golden body also reached out and slapped down.

Rumble!

The impact was earth-shattering.

Countless demonic creatures that rushed up exploded into meat pastes without exception.

They were unable to resist the golden body’s slap at all.

The terrifying aspect of the Buddha Demon Golden Body was simply indescribable.

Lin Jiufeng stood up.

He then walked towards the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower with a cold look.

Dong dong dong!

The thousand feet golden body also stepped in the air as it walked towards the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

These demonic creatures deserved to be exterminated!

Inside the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, Monk Shengyun’s eyes widened like copper bells. Especially when he saw the thousand feet golden body walking towards the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, he directly turned around and slipped away.

Monk Shengyun had read a book written by a villain.

It described how to be an excellent villain.

The first sentence was that villains had to know how to read the situation.

If the situation was bad, they had to leave in time.

As long as there was life, there was hope.
