Chapter 1212: Chapter 736: Dharma Aspect Demonstrates Divine Power

The elder ape from the Nether Sea received no response from Shen Yi.

At the moment when the imposing Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect lowered its gaze, it was accompanied by the opponent’s powerful arms, encircled by the surging Golden River, crashing forth with thunderous force.

The massive golden palms, large enough to carry mountains, now had fingers curled into fists, swinging forward like two great hammers.

The sky suddenly brightened, seemingly accompanied by a mighty humming.

The display of the Bodhisattva’s Dharma Aspect required but a single punch to set the heavens and earth in perpetual turmoil.

“Roar!”

The hesitation on the elder ape’s face instantly vanished. It used the long staff in its hand to meet the opponent, crashing straight into those fists.

It let out an angry howl, its entire being bursting with demonic power.

Yet it couldn’t even last a breath before the staff exploded with a bang, forcing it to use its arms to wrap around the giant golden hand. Compared to this Dharma Aspect, its colossal demon body was dwarfed significantly.

The disparity in strength was clearly extreme.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It retreated repeatedly, each step causing the ground to suddenly crack open. By the time it barely managed to stabilize, the whole earth was a scene of devastation.

The elder ape gasped for breath, bearing the incoming massive arm, its knees trembling slightly, as if about to be pressed to kneel.

Saliva trickled from between its upturned lips, forming a small pool on the ground.

Its entire demon body shook violently, as if the Samadhi Fire was blazing in its chest, scorching its throat to a searing heat.

In such a situation, it paused for a moment, then let out a sharp, sinister laugh: “So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!”

Mid-sentence, the elder ape suddenly raised its head: “The Southern Emperor is worried about traitors among us, probing and arranging meticulously, yet he never thought… the traitor emerged from the Bodhi Sect!”

“No wonder the Divine Dynasty always manages to respond in advance, Bodhisattva, you’ve played quite a role.”

Within those few sentences, the other two Demon Venerables outside the city on either side finally regained their senses, staring in disbelief at the figure in black robes on the city wall.

Who in the Southern Continent was unaware of the renowned name of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, likely the candidate from the Bodhi Sect to enter calamity. Putting on a Kasaya and ascending the Lotus Platform would be no challenge, with a bright future, destined to be a ruler.

This individual, unexpectedly, would betray the Great Sect and join the Divine Dynasty.

If not witnessed firsthand, even if a Great Freedom Bodhisattva recounted it personally, listeners would hesitate three times.

More absurdly, the young man seemed to have no intention of denying it.

“If I take this news back.”

The elder ape gradually straightened its body, then licked its lips, laughter becoming all the more piercing: “This would be a great achievement, but I wonder what fate will befall you, Venerable. Just thinking about it is truly exciting.”

Clearly, these words were not just meant for Shen Yi to hear.

This slightly bewitching voice reached the ears of the White Bull and Green Python, their breathing suddenly heavy. When they looked again at the towering Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect, the reverence in their eyes was gradually replaced by fervor.

Demons wanting to cleanse their identities and enter established order, speaking of it as simple, seemed to only require enough power and aligning with a great tree.

But in reality, crossing that step was far more challenging than ordinary people imagined.

After all, to reach their current stage, who knows how many they have killed, not like those from Great Sects, aware from the start of things that should be done discreetly, cherishing reputation.

For example, even if the Bodhi Sect needed their help this time, in the Seven Saint Marsh, which Venerable regarded them highly as fellow demonic beings of the same boundary.

Now, the opportunity seemed to have arisen.

“…”

Seeing the expressions of the three Great Demons, Shen Yi slowly raised his hand, his gaze as calm as an ancient well: “Did you take any news from the nine prefectures in the West?”

The words drifted into the air.

Suddenly, the elder ape recalled the strange circumstance experienced by its subordinate Demon Generals in the West Nine Prefectures upon their return.

With a Venerable from the Bodhi Sect stationed here, naturally, outsiders wouldn’t be able to glean anything.

But it seemed this Venerable forgot one thing.

Currently in Jianyang Prefecture, not faced with a group of rabble, but three beings of the same boundary.

Using this matter to frighten now, could it truly scare anyone?

“When leaning against the Bodhi Sect, you are Venerable.”

“But now, when you choose to block this Jianyang Prefecture City.”

“What are you even?”

The elder ape withdrew its smile, its whole body’s fur suddenly rippling: “What does it even amount to?”

Previously, it had suffered twice at the opponent’s hands.

The first time was a surprise, the second due to the opponent’s status.

After discarding those reasons.

A Great Arhat, recently famous for slaying a heap of Fourth Grade Heavenly Pride beyond the North Flow River, even if deceived into acquiring much of the Bodhi Sect’s foundation, barely entered the Third Grade, even seeming to have completed the Six Six Transformation.

But things like boundary and methods, no matter the amount of nurturing, ultimately require time to solidify and settle.

In contrast, as for itself, it had entered this boundary long before one can remember how many years ago.

Moreover, there were two other not weak Demon Venerables alongside.

Having lost the Venerable status, what escape was there for the young man before them?

“Open!”

The elder ape abruptly took a step forward, its rippling black fur transforming into water waves, as if a black spring overflowed from its body, quickly turning into a vast sea domain.

Dark and deathly still.

Even the glow of the Bodhisattva’s Dharma Aspect seemed dimmed before the engulfing Nether Sea.
