Chapter 727: Chapter 727

Bang~ In front of Princess Iron Fan, the void shattered, and Kui Niu rushed out from the shattered void, positioning itself right in front of Golden Dragon.

Boom~ Golden Dragon collided with Kui Niu, scattering countless rays of Buddha Light, piercing into Kui Niu’s body like sharp swords.

"Moo~" Kui Niu lifted its head and let out a painful bellow before plummeting downwards, thud~ crashing onto the faltering Cuiyun Mountain, creating a dull sound with rocks tumbling down.

Within the Arhat Formation, Jade-faced Bodhisattva’s expression changed instantly, she bit her lower lip and her eyes filled with rage, "Damn it~ You still insist on protecting her."

A flash of light burst from Kui Niu’s body, transforming into the Bull Demon King who struggled to rise, already wounded from battling the Daluo Buddha in the high skies, and now even more severely injured, bathed in blood. His left arm hung limply, clearly broken, and his battle armor, too, was shattered, hanging from his body.

Turning his head, the Bull Demon King shouted annoyed at Princess Iron Fan, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

Princess Iron Fan looked towards the Bull Demon King and asked, "And why do you insist on protecting me?"

"You are my wife, whom else should I protect if not you?"

"Heh heh~ When that fox spirit was still around, why didn’t you remember I was your wife then?"

"I~" The Bull Demon King was at a loss for words, muttering under his breath, "Is it not normal for a great Demon King like me to take a concubine?"

Hastily, the Bull Demon King exclaimed, "We can talk about this later. For now, take the child and flee!"

Princess Iron Fan ignored the Bull Demon King and looking up at the multitude of Buddha, she spoke loudly, "Since you all are so eager to open this portal, very well, today I shall fulfill your wishes."

Joyful Buddha pressed his palms together and with a smile said, "It is good that the female donor can abruptly come to such realization. In the future, Spiritual Mountain may confer upon her the True Fruit."

Princess Iron Fan, with a complicated expression, looked towards the portal and casually tossed the Blood Jade Divine Sword in her hand. The sword flew straight out, and the impenetrable portal was easily pierced by the Blood Jade Divine Sword, like a knife through soft cheese.

Far away, above the clouds, Sun Wukong and his two brothers had also been watching the battle.

Sun Wukong said, puzzled, "Strange!"

Zhu Bajie asked, "Brother, what’s strange?"

"Why hasn’t Red Boy come out yet?"

Sha Wujing said, "Maybe they’ve protected him!"

Sun Wukong eyed the portal, feeling that there might not be a little monk inside, that the little monk should still be with Red Boy, but didn’t he say that he wanted to use Tang Sanzang to give himself a home? Wasn’t it supposed to be given to big brother and sister-in-law to reconcile their parents?

Jade-faced Princess beckoned with her hand, and the Blood Jade Divine Sword flew back in reverse, landing in her palm.

Cracks spread across the portal, the Array began to collapse consecutively, rocks fell, and streaks of blood shining through the gaps.

Bang~ The portal crumbled and exploded.

All the Buddhas heaved a sigh of relief, not easy at all! Finally, they had saved Tang Sanzang. This ordeal was truly too difficult; Buddhism had suffered immense losses.

With the portal wide open, Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhats all looked inside, where there was a stone chamber behind the portal, but it was empty, with no one inside. A Blood Pool sat in its midst, and a Blood Lotus growing at the center, exuding a pleasant fragrance, astonishingly beautiful.

The expressions of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattva Arhats stiffened, their eyes widened in disbelief. Tang Sanzang wasn’t here? A wave of panic surged within them; after such a lengthy battle and at such a tragic cost, Tang Sanzang was actually not here—was this some kind of joke?

Within the Arhat Formation, Jade-faced Princess exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible; I’ve searched everywhere else and found no trace of Tang Sanzang. He must be inside here."

Turning her head, Princess Iron Fan shouted, "Tang Sanzang must have been moved by you, quickly hand over Tang Sanzang."

Jade-faced Bodhisattva’s heart was in turmoil. I had confidently reported to my Buddha about finding Tang Sanzang’s whereabouts, but now upon opening the secret chamber, not to mention Tang Sanzang, there was not even a living creature. What if the Buddha believes I have deceived him? Could my position as a Bodhisattva still exist?

The look in Princess Iron Fan’s eyes was complex.

Bull Demon King suddenly realized that Iron Fan had already moved the child and Tang Sanzang. How clever! But he couldn’t help asking, "What is this? How did you make a blood pool appear here?"

"Bull Demon King, listen well. My original name is Yu Luocha, and this is the path to return home.

When we got married back then, my father did not agree. He said you were not a good cow, which led to a conflict with him, and I sealed the way home.

Now it proves he was right, and I was wrong."

Bull Demon King opened his mouth, unable to help but retort, "Actually, I am a good cow!"

Dragon Venerate King Buddha quickly shouted, "Tie Shan Immortal, Bull Demon King, where exactly is the Sutra Taker?"

The blood pool in the secret chamber began to spin, forming a vortex, into which the Blood Lotus sank.

Tremendous blood waves surged forth, directly destroying the secret chamber. In the sky, they formed a fountain of blood from which boundless blood surged out, sweeping waves of blood that thundered down upon Cuiyun Mountain, immediately submerging it, while numerous Buddha and Arhats hastily rose to higher clouds.

From all directions, colossal blood waves rose, reaching tens of thousands of feet high, touching the sky and connecting to the earth, encircling Cuiyun Mountain. Within the Blood Sea, ferocious figures dashed about.

Standing atop the mountain, Iron Fan Lady and Bull Demon King were like standing on rocks, surrounded by a storm of blood.

The previously awe-inspiring Buddhas and Arhat, under the boundless waves of the Blood Sea, appeared as insignificant as ants.

In front of West Heavenly Gate, Bai Jin said with a smile, "Buddha, doesn’t this look like a new beginning?"

The Buddha couldn’t believe his eyes and said, "Blood Sea?" An idea flashed through his mind, and he looked straight at Bai Jin, asking quickly, "Who is she? How could she open the passage to the Blood Sea?"

Bai Jin feigned ignorance, "Whom are you talking about?"

Bai Jin pretended to be surprised, "Eh~ Does the Buddha not know? I thought the Buddha already knew!"

The Buddha fell silent. If he was not wrong, this woman must have a deep connection with the Sect Hierarch of the Blood Sea. Such a character’s Heavenly Secret has been concealed; how could I know? You... you’re doing this on purpose.

Below in the blood waves, thousands upon thousands of Asura Clan appeared, men and women, beautiful and ugly, all wielding weapons with murderous intent.

Surrounded by the blood waves, all the Buddha and Arhat of Buddhism had their faces change color, trembling in fear.

Joyful Buddha looked around and shouted, "I do not know which Asura Commander has descended. Please reveal yourself."

From all four directions, majestic Asura Kings with crowns appeared, pressing down Heaven and Earth.

Joyful Buddha exclaimed in shock, "Asura Kings!"

There are only four Asura Kings in the Blood Sea, each one a One Corpse Quasi-Saint level being. Now that all have emerged, it reflects the anger of the Blood Sea.

Joyful Buddha’s heart trembled, he put his palms together in a prayerful gesture, and with a forced smile said, "We have seen the four Asura Kings! My Buddhism’s Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva and the Blood Sea are neighbors; we are not outsiders."

He pointed downwards and shouted, "The one who opened this Blood Sea passage is the person down below, it has nothing to do with my Buddhism."
