Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1164 - 525: Buddha Slaying the Demon God, Shielding Qingtang City_2
[The young Dharma King, facing the doubts of the incense customers with a smile unwavering on his face, was about to continue explaining when he heard a startling roar from heaven!]
[This roaring sound echoed throughout Qingtang City, causing the ground to shake violently!]
[Outside the hall, the sky and clouds changed color, where previously the cosmos was clear and the sun hung high, now it had turned dark and gloomy, with black clouds pressing down on the city!]
[Boundless dark clouds enveloped the sky, with rolling thunder exploding intermittently, Purple Lightning Snakes constantly tumbling among the clouds, and violent winds howling across the land as if a heavenly tribulation had descended upon the world.]
[The young Dharma King feigned panic, leading the incense customers out of the side hall, only to see a terrifying shadow that obscured the sun already looming over Qingtang City!]
[Suddenly, thunder exploded, a bolt of purple lightning tore through the sky and struck the ground, reducing the under-renovation main hall and the rubble of the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha’ statue to dust!]
[The world darkened, and it was precisely this burst of purple lightning that illuminated the terrifying shadow above the firmament!]
[It was a Demon God!]
[The Demon God resembled a fox, its body covered with snow-white fur and possessing nine massive tails, wrapped around by purple lightning, its eyes filled with a murderous intent overlooking the city below, intent on turning Qingtang City into a hell on earth!]
[The ordinary incense customers screamed in terror, thrown into chaos.]
[Accompanied by the roar of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon God, brilliant purple lightning descended, obliterating several houses into rubble!]
[In an instant, screams of pain, cries, and pleas for mercy were incessant...]
[Many citizens instinctively fell to their knees, praying for the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha’ to descend and show saintly power, slaying the Demon God...]
[The young Dharma King’s eyes widened in anger, he rallied his entire magical power and soared into the air, shouting at the panicked and terrified people, the Demon God has appeared and brought chaos to the human world, we disciples should pray for Buddha’s protection!]
[’Void Hidden Trace Buddha,’ afflicted by the five decays of heaven and man and thus reincarnated, consequently could not respond to his people’s prayers!]
[Now, we can only pray for ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha’ to descend, dispel demons, and eradicate evil spirits!]
[His voice, filled with magical power, echoed layer upon layer, causing the multitude of kneeling people to look up in bewilderment, and those who were screaming and fleeing like headless flies couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.]
[Suddenly, the eyes of the massive Fox Demon turned sharply, full of murderous intent, looking at the young Dharma King who was inciting the people...]
[A brilliant bolt of purple lightning struck, hitting the young Dharma King directly, followed immediately by a thunderous explosion that resounded through the skies.]
[The young Dharma King’s body was scorched black, he spat blood and plummeted downward, his eyes splitting with fury, he roared loudly, "Wake up! The ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha’ is dead, now only the ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha’ can protect us children!]
[If you still cling to the old names of the past Buddhas, from today forward, there will no longer be a Qingtang City in this world!]
[His voice was as mournful as a cuckoo weeping blood, mixed with anger and sorrow, stirring the hearts of all who heard it.]
[Only then did the people in the city awaken from their dreams, one after another kneeling and silently reciting the name of ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha,’ hoping to call upon the Buddha’s incarnation to descend, slay the demons, and protect the citizens.]
[But whether it was because too few people were praying, or their hearts were not sincere enough, the terrifying purple lightning continued to strike, causing great parts of the city walls of Qingtang to collapse, without any sign of the Buddha’s incarnation descending.]
[Finally, someone in the panicked crowd shouted the Buddha’s name, ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha,’ loudly.]
[Initially, only a few people shouted, but as time passed and as more bolts of terrifying purple lightning descended, the shouts grew denser and louder, increasing from a few to dozens, then hundreds, and finally thousands of people!]
[Whether they were young children, women wrapped in headscarves, street vendors hawking their wares, or old people leaning on walking sticks, all knelt on the ground, calling loudly for ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha,’ praying for the Buddha to descend and show saintly power, protecting their people...]
[As the voices of prayer resounded through the city, and every person prayed sincerely for the Buddha, their shouts even seemed to drown out the noise of the thunder.]
[Suddenly, feeling a mutual sensation, tens of thousands of people simultaneously lifted their heads, looking up at the sky...]
[A ray of light filled with Boundless Dharma Power burst forth from the rolling dark clouds and shone upon the earth!]
[Buddha Light bathed the land, instantly dispersing the boundless dark clouds, silencing the rolling thunder, and extinguishing the brilliant purple lightning!]
[Where moments before there had been a terrifying scene like the end of the world, it was now swept clean by the immense magical power, leaving only the magnificent Buddha Light shining upon the world!]
[A Celestial descended to earth, holding the Demon Subduing Vajra Pestle in his hand, with the Light Wheel of Dharma Phase manifesting the Six Great Reincarnations behind him.]
[Under the illumination of the Buddha Light, no one could discern the Celestial’s face, but everyone in Qingtang knew He was the incarnation of the Buddha—’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha’!]
[The Nine-tailed Fox Demon God, terrifying numerous people into shuddering fear, as if seeing something overwhelmingly frightening, began to scream sharply and transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, frantically fleeing.] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
[The Celestial waved his sleeve, and although the bolt of purple lightning was fleeing towards the distant horizon, it involuntarily flew back...]
[As the Nine-tailed Fox Demon God flew backward, its massive body rapidly shrank...]
[When the Demon God was retracted in front of the Celestial by the Boundless Magical Power, the shadow that had obscured the sky and sun had transformed into a small snow-white fox, trembling and whimpering in the crook of the Celestial’s arm.]
[A voice filled with unmatched authority echoed throughout Qingtang...]
[Good and evil come back like shadows follow the form; the causes of past, present, and future lives cycle endlessly.]
