Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1080: Chapter 655: Offense and Defense _2

The Immortal Path has three Tao Lineages: Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing; the Buddhist Path has the Tathagata, Bodhisattva, and Vidyaraja as its three origins; and within the Demon Path, there are also divisions.

According to the intelligence Xu Yang had gathered over the years, the Devil Race of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss revered the Four Great Heavenly Demons, namely the Great Freedom Heaven Demon, the Great Desire Color Heaven Demon, the Great Brahmanic Heavenly Demon, and the Great Brahma Heavenly Demon.

The Blood Sea Asura worshipped the Great Freedom Heaven Demon led by the Great Freedom Sky Demon King Bo Xun, featuring four Great Asura Kings and numerous Asura Kings, who ascended through killing, extremely fierce and evil.

Now, Xu Yang found himself in this towering Blood Sea, witnessing the monumental statues of four “Great Asura Kings.”

One of the statues had nine heads and countless arms, each arm clutching a bloody weapon, embodying war and slaughter—the War God among the Asura Kings, King Poya.

Another statue stood as tall as the heavens, comparable to the sun and the moon, roaring long and loud, causing the waters of the Blood Sea to boil furiously, with thunder stirring—this was the fierce god among the Asura Kings, King Lu Qiantuo.

Another statue, also fearsome and limitless, with a thousand eyes and arms and eight legs trampling the Blood Sea, seemed to spew blood flames from its eyes and mouth, desiring to burn everything. This was the malevolent god among the Asura Kings, King Vimana Chitra.

The last statue, though in its usual state, had a pair of massive arms covering the sky, blocking out the sunlight and moonlight, leaving only a blood-red baleful star visible—the strongest among the Great Asura Kings, King Ro Hout.

Beneath these four “Great Asura King Statues,” billions of Asuras lined up, resolutely entering the statues, transforming into beams of bloodlight that were absorbed.

With a glance from Heavenly Eye, Xu Yang obtained information.

Poya Statue

Building Order: Seventh Rank (Demon Spirit)

Building Type: Civilization Wonders.

Building Civilization: Great Freedom Heaven (Blood Sea Asura)

Building Troops: Asura General 0/1000, Poya Asura 0/100, Poya Asura General 0/10, Poya Asura King Guard 0/1.

Building Effect: Blood Sea Asura (can transform ordinary Asuras into Asura Generals and other special troops, elevating them to the highest rank; Asura troops and heroes have a high probability of resurrecting in the Blood Sea after death)

Building Special Skill: Great Asura King (taps the power of the Blood Sea, sacrifices the blood of Asuras, attracting the will of the Great Asura King “Poya” to descend, transforming this colossal statue into an avatar of the Great Asura King, engages in slaughter, and sacrifices to Boxun)

Building Introduction: Under the command of the Great Freedom Heaven Demon King, one of the four Great Asura Kings, “King Poya’s” statue can pollute the heavens and earth, amass the Blood Sea, breed the Asura race, and can also become the avatar of King Poya, possessing extremely terrifying power.

…

Demon Spirit building, Asura’s avatar.

Looking at the line under the Poya huge statue, Asuras sacrificing themselves, and various offerings and captives being thrown into it, Xu Yang didn’t even need to think to know what they were up to.

Great Freedom Sky Demon King Boxun, one of the Four Heavenly Demon Kings of the Demon Abyss and the Lord of the Desire Realm, was the prime culprit behind the invasion of the Mystic Yellow Realm long ago.

As the strongest among the Four Heavenly Demon Kings, it was said that Boxun hid at the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and had even merged with it, thus never appearing in person. Only his four “Great Asura Kings” and numerous Asura Kings acted on behalf of the Great Freedom Heaven Demon in the wars.

Poya was one of the four Great Asura Kings, reportedly holding the status of a Tenth Order “Earth Demon God,” with his Asura Kings being Ninth Tier Demon God Lords.

Though limited by the rules of the Sky-reaching Tower and Ten Thousand Demon Abyss, this Tenth Order Demon God couldn’t directly intervene in the battles of Seventh Rank Lords, but not being able to intervene directly didn’t mean he couldn’t intervene indirectly.

Now, the Asura race had constructed his Poya colossal statue as a Civilization Wonder under the “Great Freedom Heaven Civilization” of the Demon Abyss. When necessary, they could use blood sacrifices to summon the will of this Great Asura King, allowing his avatar to descend.

A Tenth Order Earth Demon God, the Great Asura King—such a being, even in avatar form, could unleash extremely terrifying power. Unless there’s an avatar of an equal-level Immortal God to resist, it would mean an absolute domination over other lords.

Ironically, there were four such wonders, four statues, meaning that when necessary, they could summon the avatars of four Great Asura Kings.

This showed the extent of the Demon Abyss’s commitment to the war; the four Seventh Rank Demon Spirit-level wonder structures were secondary—the more important aspect was the investment in various offerings. The greater the quantity and quality of offerings, the stronger the power of the Asura avatars and the longer they could sustain.

The Demon Abyss had invested heavily this time and would surely maximize the sacrifices to these four statues to summon the strongest Great Asura King avatars.

“Boom!!!”

Just as he settled his thoughts, an anomaly occurred in the Blood Sea; one of the giant statues, the Vimana Statue, suddenly turned, a thousand eyes looking up, all staring at the sky, emitting a beam of bloody demonic light.

“What’s going on?”

The assembled Demon Abyss Lords rushed over, seeing the demon light striking out and blood flames engulfing the sky, seeming to hide a Heavenly Eye, instantly provoking shock and rage.

“Is it those from the Human Clan?”

“How daring!”

“How dare they spy on our Blood Sea?”

The Demon Abyss Lords were shocked and enraged, the leading young Asura among them gazed sharply, “Send out the orders, accelerate the sacrifices, quickly summon the Kings’ avatars.”

“Yes!”

Hearing this, the demons dared not delay and immediately turned to leave.

For they too understood the significance behind this probing.

The battle to the death, the territories connected, neither side had the advantage of the home field as in days past, yet the enemy could still cast spells and infiltrate the Blood Sea for reconnaissance. Their strength was evidently superior, definitely surpassing these lords of the Demon Abyss.

The overall commander of this battle, Di Tian, the most brilliant star of the Asura clan over the past million years, who possessed the “True Blood of Bo Xun,” feared he had no advantage either.

With such a formidable enemy, who dared to be negligent?

The demons dispersed, each acting on their own, the Blood Sea surged mightily, hastening the Asura sacrifices.

In the Palace of Ten Thousand Dao, Xu Yang withdrew his Divine Power and then switched to the Admiring Eye of Heaven, peeking toward the other three directions.

Meanwhile, at the front lines, within White Tiger City…

“Bodhisattva!”

The Golden Robed Child approached, bowing deeply to Ksitigarbha, “Everything is ready.”

“Amitabha!”

Ksitigarbha joined his hands and softly chanted a Buddhist name, declaring, “The demon’s menace is fierce, not to be underestimated, let me investigate thoroughly.”

“Roar!”

As soon as the words ended, Diting beside him let out a low roar, aiding his master in activating the Divine Power.

Heaven View Earth Hear!

With Divine power in action, Heaven View Earth Hear instantly penetrated the boundaries, revealing… a Black Lotus!

In the void, the Black Lotus bloomed, the sound of Buddhist chanting drifted from within.

“Sea of suffering is boundless, turn back to the shore, sea of suffering is boundless, turn back to the shore…”

“Reincarnation endless, endless crossing, mother of Buddha’s compassion, compassion heart, Cihang Pu Du saving all beings…”

“Thus have I heard, thus have I seen, thus have I observed…”

“Amitabha Amitabha, Amitabha Amitabha…”

The Buddhist chanting sounded eerie, and within the Black Lotus, an Evil Buddha appeared, with no face, and belly as large as a drum.

No, not just one, not just one lotus, lotus after lotus bloomed, Evil Demon after Evil Demon appeared, several demon shadows sat upon the Black Lotus, suppressing it in that void, confronting Ksitigarbha’s Divine Power.

“Roar!!!”

With a fierce roar from Diting, Ksitigarbha remained impassive, sitting silently atop the lotus platform, reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Just then, in the void, thunder suddenly erupted, condensing into a Heavenly Eye, emitting a destructive light.

Combined Skill: Heaven View Earth Hear (The method of Dao and Buddha united, the skill of Heaven View Earth Hear, the Admiring Eye of Heaven and Ksitigarbha’s Diting unite, achieving the Great Dharma Mystical Powers of Dao and Buddha united)

“Boom!!!”

The combined skill, Great Dharma Mystical Powers, with the Heavenly Eye illuminating thunder, Diting issuing a furious roar, the power of Buddha and Dao fused together, instantly dispelling the illusions, wiping out the demonic shadows of Black Lotus, accompanied by several sorrowful wails.

“Ah!!!”

Outside White Tiger City, at a counterpart location, within a dark current, several Great Demons sat upon pitch-black lotus platforms, chanting Demon Scriptures, unaware that the Black Lotus beneath them explosively burst asunder, and turbulent currents rolled in the void, throwing them to the ground.

Several Great Demons fell and wailed sorrowfully, the surrounding Demon Abyss Lords hurriedly approached, seeing each of them bleeding from all orifices, all severely injured, but they couldn’t care less, continuously roaring.

“Quick, quick!”

“They’re coming!”

“Great Divine Power!”

“Prepare for battle!”

…

“Amitabha!”

Inside White Tiger City, Ksitigarbha sighed, speaking to Shi Pi and his followers below, “To the east, a boundless Blood Sea, Heavenly Demons incarnate are about to descend, with Heavenly Tiger Demons eyeing us from the south and north, we must hold our position, unable to join the battle; hence, the Venerable Lord commands us to lead the troops out and break the Great Desire Color Heavenly Demon, to aid the overall situation!”

“Shi Pi, you lead the vanguard!”

“Golden Robed, you take the flank!”

“Dao Ming…”
