The terrifying surge of air envelops everything in the universe, fiercely powerful.

    At this moment, the sky and the earth seemed to have been dyed into a dusty composition.

    The surging waves of air struck fiercely, and in an instant, the entire sky was torn apart and violently trembling, while the sea was stirred into monstrous waves crashing onto the shore.

    Such terrifying power erupted, causing all the cultivators on the ground to be terrified!

    Li Chunfeng shouted loudly "bad" and was about to forcibly use his power to cast a barrier spell.

    Who would have thought that before he could even move, a melody of chanting surged suddenly from nearby.

    The chanting sound is very ethereal, like fine threads that are almost invisible.

    Everyone turned their heads to look curiously, and in an instant, they could see an endless stream of Buddhist radiance emanating from Huatuo Monk's body.

    The Buddha rays soared into the sky, transforming into a vast, golden Buddha radiating with resplendent glory.

    This Buddha, formed with golden rays intertwined, has spiral hair, holding a medicine jar in his left hand and making a gesture of compassion with his right hand.

    This is none other than the Eastern World's Master Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha of Benevolence and Light.

    The Medicine Buddha of Crystal Light flashed in the sky and then vanished as if it had never appeared.

    However, even though it vanished in a flash, the rolling sandstorm that struck the ground suddenly exploded, turning into a vast expanse of flying sand.

    "Salutations to the benevolent doctrines of Brother QiCi!"

    "Thank you, Brother QiCi, for using such great powers to save our lives."

    The cultivators looked at each other with gratitude and emotion.

    Unexpectedly, Huatuo Monk did not utter a word, his face turned pale, and he coughed up blood wildly.

    Only then did the cultivators realize that the great spell Huatuo Monk had just cast was powerful, but it had exceeded his limits, and he had suffered a backlash himself.

    To understand, Huatuo Monk was the embodiment of Maitreya Buddha, and is now a high-level priest at the realm. Even so, he was injured severely in an attempt to shield against the remaining shockwaves of the demon king's blast.

    What if someone had faced it head-on?

    Thinking about this, Du Guangting suddenly looked towards the sky.

    Li Chunfeng also looked up anxiously.

    Cloud Disciple, Fa Hai, Fa Zhen, and all the other cultivators present looked up to the sky with extreme worry.

    Yes, everyone was worried about Chen Yun's direct confrontation with the Demon King.

    Unexpected events occurred, leaving everyone astonished.

    When everyone looked up at the sky, they suddenly saw a burst of colorful hues of light shot through the swirling sands, accompanied by a thick, purple mist.

    The incredibly colorful rays of light were strange indeed. As soon as they appeared, they immediately turned the surrounding waters into a myriad of colors, and the shoreline looked as if it was made of jade.

    The purple mist didn't lag behind either, seeping out from the sandstorm and instantly merging with the air, as if it had dyed the heavens and earth in hues of purple.

    Suddenly, everyone witnessed a sight that was both awe-inspiring and shocking!

    The sandstorm was actually dissipated in an instant by the shimmering light and the dense purple mist!

    In a blink of an eye, the air wave attack that was like a world-ending sandstorm had vanished.

    It wasn't just a simple dispersion; Huatuo Monk used boundless Buddhist power to counteract part of the sandstorm's power, and there were still many sands swirling. However, the sandstorm dissolved by the purple mist and the colorful hues, leaving not a single thing behind!

    Yes, everything carried by the sandstorm seemed to have disappeared without a trace!

    At this moment, everyone finally saw Chen Yun surrounded by intense and colorful hues of light and a thick, purple mist.

    Moreover, these colorful mists and purple vapors also enveloped Chen Yun, the divine soldiers and generals, Gong Juji, the four demons, and the white monkey.

    As for the dragon and Baxi, they were of such high cultivation that they did not require protection from the Taichi Zihu Immortal Gown.

    To put it into perspective, Huatuo Monk himself was severely injured just by blocking the residual power of the sandstorm.

    It's a given that everyone can see the incredible power of the spell the Demon King just cast.

    Now Chen Yun not only appears unscathed but also uses the colorful hues of light and purple mist to protect his disciples, spiritual beasts, and divine soldiers.

    Seeing this, everyone was greatly surprised.

    "..."

    "What is this treasure?"

    "Could it be that this thing can effortlessly block the Demon King's powerful attack?"

    "Hiss, it's no wonder Chen Mr. dare to challenge the Demon King. He has already stood on an unbeatable position!"

    "Ha ha, with Chen Dao brother here today, we will definitely remain unharmed in Dengzhou."

    The local cultivators of Dengzhou all moved with great vigor, and excitement shone on everyone's faces.

    Du Guangting's eyes suddenly widened, "Could this be the legendary treasure?"

    "It must be a treasure; otherwise, it couldn't possess such power." Li Chunfeng said with a look of envy: "I have practiced for over two hundred years, and I've fortunate enough to reach the level of the sect master. Until now, I haven't obtained any treasure. To think that Chen Dao friend has such a treasure in his possession is truly envious to the point where my eyes are red with jealousy."

    Fa Zhen turned his head and asked, "Fa Hai, how strong is your Buddhist robe compared to the Taiji Zihu Immortal Gown Chen Dao Friend obtained from the Ghost King?"

    Fa Hai looked at him with a blank face, "Several years ago, when I battled the Ghost King, didn't you witness the power of my Buddhist robe?"

    Saying that, he explained carefully, "As for personal defense, perhaps my robe is not inferior to the Taiji Zihu Immortal Gown. However, this immortal gown not only protects its wearer but also releases colorful hues of light and purple mist to guard others, which is something my robe cannot match."

    Fa Zhen was slightly shocked, not because he didn't know the origins of Fa Hai's Buddhist robe, but because others might not be aware of it.

    Fa Hai's Buddhist robe is an accompanying item, and it is said to have been the last shedding of skin by the Great Serpent God before its reincarnation into a human body. This skin, fused with a primal qi, not only possesses incredible defensive power but also harbors formidable offensive capabilities.

    Let's not mention the offensive power for now.

    The skin of the Great Serpent God and the Buddhist robe fused with primal qi, in terms of defense, are actually inferior to the Taiji Zihu Immortal Gown?

    Fa Zhen now understood just how precious the immortal gown on Chen Yun's body was.

    After a few casual conversations, Li Chunfeng suddenly showed a serious expression, "This immortal gown must be Chen Dao friend's ace in the hole. Now that he has shown his ace, and the Demon King has not revealed his true form yet, I fear Chen Dao friend might not be able to hold out for much longer."

    Huatuo Monk was spitting out blood in large mouthfuls, he wiped his mouth with a cloth, and bitterly laughed: "This Demon King has not yet shown his true power, and has not even used his demonic music attack. I hope Chen Dao Friend remains unharmed."

    Du Guangting, Fa Zhen, and Fa Hai, a few cultivators with higher achievements, also showed signs of tension at this moment. They were well aware of the Demon King's formidable power.

    Because of this, these "high-level cultivators" did not celebrate like the local cultivators of Dengzhou.

    ...

    The outskirts of Dengzhou.

    Li Nian saw Chen Yun easily withstand the attack released by the Demon King and exclaimed excitedly, "The ancestor is too strong! Even this powerful Demon King's magic is unable to harm the ancestor, and I believe he will definitely be defeated and killed here today!"

    Unlike the other party, Yun's face did not show any signs of excitement. In fact, his expression became even more serious. "The Demon King has not yet revealed his true form, and the destructive sandstorm he just unleashed was merely a simple probe. I'm afraid that when he really moves, the ancestor may not be able to withstand it."

    Li Nian exclaimed, "The Demon King hasn't really shown his hand yet?"

    Yun nodded decisively, "Yes, it hasn't shown its true face yet."

    Li Nian, who was still celebrating Chen Yun's defense against the Demon King's might, instantly became anxious again upon hearing this. She truly didn't want to see Chen Yun suffer any misfortune.

    ...

    The local cultivators of Dengzhou may not know the true power of the Demon King, and the ordinary people certainly wouldn't know either.

    At this moment, the millions of ordinary people in Dengzhou who are still alive are cheering wildly as they see Chen Yun taking the upper hand.

    However, while the people were celebrating and cheering, an unusual event occurred within the Azure Dragon, Red Blood Array.

    The Demon King, after failing to strike with one blow, did not continue his assault but instead cackled menacingly, "Little Daoist, I said you only possess the power of a high-level priest. How dare you come to challenge me? It seems you're relying on this treasure garment."

    Below, the divine soldiers and generals, the dragon, and Gong Juji were still engaged in a fierce battle with the eight demon lieutenants, ten demon generals, and thirty thousand lesser demons, with deafening noise echoing endlessly.

    Chen Yun rode on the back of the tiger spirit and looked at the huge ghost face in the black cloud vortex from a distance. With a strong voice, he said, "What kind of tricks do you old demon have? Feel free to show them. I am waiting for you here."

    "Haha, good! Very good!"

    The old demon called out three good words.

    In the next moment, the black cloud vortex that covered the sky above Dengzhou suddenly began to spin rapidly. Magical energies were converging toward the massive ghost face at an alarming speed.

    The huge ghost face absorbed enough magical energies, but instead of expanding, it actually began to shrink continuously.

    It's not terribly frightening at this point.

    However, as the massive ghost face continued to shrink and solidify, Chen Yun sensed an increasingly intense wave of evil essence.

    "The old demon is about to reveal its true form!"

    Chen Yun's expression became serious, "Based on the aura it is currently emitting, it has already surpassed Baxi and the dragon. Even without revealing its true form, if it truly does appear in its true form, how terrifying will it be?"

    He couldn't help but reach up and touch the two hard hairs on his head.

    Frankly speaking, Chen Yun for the first time suspected that he might have to use the second life-saving qigong to deal with this situation.

    Hopefully, it won't come to that.

    With two sect leaders on my side, we should be able to win in a two-on-one battle, right?

    Chen Yun comforted himself.

    At this moment, a loud commotion came from the front of the black cloud vortex.

    Thump, thump, thumping.

    A series of booming sounds like thunder rolling echoed.

    Along with the sound, the black cloud vortex was actually absorbed by the huge ghost face.

    The next moment, the massive ghost face abruptly collapsed.

    Horrible things happened.

    With the collapse of the huge ghost face, it seemed as if the entire world was beginning to collapse.

    Chen Yun and everyone were shocked to discover that they were still in the coastal area, but in the moment when the huge ghost face collapsed, the scenery before them suddenly transformed into a hellish sight.

    A chorus of ghostly wails and howls sounded.

    Columns of murky, greyish gas rose from somewhere, unknown.

    These greyish, murky streams kept rising and condensing toward the top.

    Chen Yun looked in alarm, "What the...?"

    The greyish gases rose beyond the cosmos, coalescing into a colossal statue of an Asura with one head, three faces, and six arms!

    He never expected the old demon's true form to be an Asura!

    Chen Yun's face changed dramatically, and his heart jolted suddenly.

    This time, it might really be a tough nut to crack!
