Chapter 237 – The Boundless Buddha Heart Cleanses Inner Demons

Old Alchemist: “Old Taoist, you wish to save him? I insist on meddling!”

Hearing this, Old Taoist couldn’t help but change expression, immediately countering with a Kunlun forbidden technique.

Phantom God Hand!

In an instant, the balance between Ye Kuang and his inner demon was quietly broken. The two actually became allies in the blink of an eye, unexpectedly joining forces to resist fiercely.

“Damn you three old bastards!”

“You’re all utterly despicable, thinking I’m easy to bully? Break for me!”

Jade Void Creation Art!!

At that moment, the devouring forces of righteousness and evil complemented each other, unexpectedly and coincidentally evolving into a rotating Taiji symbol.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Old Alchemist: “Huh… What’s happening?”

Old Taoist: “I was about to ask you! Why are you butting in?”

Old Alchemist: “None of your business.”

Meanwhile, Old Artificer moved upon hearing the commotion, but soon detected a dangerous aura permeating the surroundings, startling him into a drastic change of expression.

“You’ve gone mad!”

“Enough talk! Lend us your strength quickly!”

“This kid is quite peculiar, stay back…”

But before he could finish, Old Taoist was clearly a beat too late.

Old Artificer’s hands had already grasped the arms of Old Taoist and Old Alchemist, then he couldn’t help but shudder violently, revealing an expression as if he’d seen a ghost.

Zzzzt zzzzt zzzzt!

While Ye Kuang and his inner demon joined forces, they unexpectedly discovered just how heaven-defying the Jade Void Creation Art truly was.

In that instant, not only were the Three Venerables firmly bound in place, but their Dantian Inner Worlds also inexplicably began to stir.

As these three massive Qi Seas erupted, they intertwined like coiling dragons, then swiftly converged into Ye Kuang’s Baihui point.

Once Old Artificer realized his Dantian Qi Sea was rapidly depleting, he couldn’t help but be terrified: “What in the world is going on?”

But after this question was asked, clearly no one present could provide a reasonable explanation.

For a moment, the frozen scene of the four figures appeared strangely eerie.

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Kuang had begun plundering and seizing, voraciously devouring the Three Venerables’ lifelong cultivation.

Three streams of energy suddenly emerged on his chest, swirling about, colliding with each other, before ultimately merging into one.

And there, precisely where the Taiji resided!

Bang bang bang!

Immediately followed by three consecutive thunderclaps, violent shockwaves erupted and swept through the air.

In an instant, the Three Venerables were all sent flying backward, their eyes unable to conceal their astonishment.

Because, in just a brief moment, each of them had been forcibly deprived of at least thirty percent of their cultivation!

Feeling his suddenly expanded Dantian Inner World, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but burst into mad laughter: “Hahaha… When the righteous grows a foot, the wicked grows ten! Heaven itself aids me!!”

It could be said that as his laughter grew increasingly maniacal, the faces of everyone present turned extremely grim.

Even the Three Venerables were no exception, their eyes flickering uncertainly, clearly still somewhat shaken.

In a realm unknown to all, Ye Kuang’s mind was already filled with curses. His true self and inner demon refused to yield to each other, fiercely contesting for control of the body.

“You really think I can’t handle you?!”

“Hahaha, if you have the ability, just try!”

“Hmph! You brought this upon yourself. I originally didn’t want to delve too deep, but now I’ll show you what I’m truly capable of!”

Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ!

“Ah! This is the true Buddhist chant? But what can it do to me!””Whether it’s futile or not, I do not wish to know. However, as the Buddhist teachings say: ‘Saving one life surpasses building a seven-story pagoda.’ Since you insist we are one, then bear witness to the compassion of my Buddha.” As he spoke, Ye Kuang suddenly pressed his palms together.

Instantly, faint Brahma Sounds began to clang and roar, thundering throughout his consciousness.

This was precisely the great wisdom of Buddhism!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The inner world is truly a mysterious realm, one that exists within all living beings.

At this moment, Ye Kuang’s inner world underwent earth-shattering changes as two figures abruptly materialized out of thin air!

One was a black-robed demonic shadow, hovering mid-air with demonic energy swirling densely around its form, coiling tightly about its body.

The other was a white-robed figure, possessing an immortal’s grace akin to an enlightened transcendent.

Now facing each other, they stood in stark opposition like fire and water!

Surprisingly, these two figures appeared ordinary at first glance yet shared identical features—both were Ye Kuang.

“This is what you call skill? Don’t make me laugh!”

“Is that so?”

No sooner had White-robed Ye Kuang spoken than he transformed into a manifested Buddha. Golden light radiated everywhere as thunderous echoes filled the sky.

“Compassionate is my Buddha. Amitabha.”

Black-robed Ye Kuang couldn’t help but feel shock at this sight.

Yet soon after, he too conjured a demonic form, directly challenging Buddha Ye Kuang!

“So what if you transform into a Buddha? I too have my demonic body’s empowerment. At worst, we perish together—you and I both destroyed!”

“All phenomena are illusory. If you see all phenomena as non-phenomena, you perceive the Tathagata.”

In that instant, Buddha Ye Kuang suddenly raised his head toward the heavens, like a devout Buddhist follower seeing through illusions and attaining sudden enlightenment.

Mid-air, golden light bloomed, dazzling to the eyes, and in the blink of an eye, a colossal golden Buddha manifested!

Majestic and solemn.

Buzz buzz buzz!

“The sea of suffering has no bounds, repent and the shore is at hand. Lay down your blade, and attain Buddhahood instantly.”

“Roar! Stop your mystical nonsense! You think you can purify this demon? Pure wishful thinking!!”

“Demon… what is a demon? Merely delusions born from worldly attachments. There are countless people in this world, but who has truly seen a real demon? Considering you’ve yet to create karmic obstacles, why not abandon your inner attachments and take refuge in my Buddha?”

Hearing this, Demonic Ye Kuang flew into a rage, instantly transforming into an endless black shroud that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.

Suddenly, piercing shrieks resounded across the realm, filled with extreme malice—as if woven from obsessions or a chaotic dance of demons—all surging toward the golden Buddha.

“A single flower embodies a world; a single leaf reveals the Bodhi. Originally there is nothing, where could dust arise?”

But then, the golden Buddha suddenly opened its mouth, generating Brahma Sounds that instantly cleansed the world.

As boundless golden light salvation spread across the Eight Desolations World, it shone in all directions like a crystal lamp.

And Demonic Ye Kuang was instantly forced back into his original form.

“Damnable scum…”

But before he could finish, the Golden Buddha Palm Mountain came crashing down upon him.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

In that moment, the once arrogant Demonic Ye Kuang, facing the golden Buddha’s overwhelming divine might, could hardly muster his strength.

The two were clearly not on the same level of existence!

“Release me! You damned scum…”

“Release me…”

“Release…”

“Me…”Only when the final lingering note gradually faded away did the scene leave behind only Buddha Ye Kuang, who remained with closed eyes, contemplating the profound teachings of Buddhism.
