Chapter 382: The Third Stage of Destroying the Buddhist Sect Begins, Blow Out 'Monkey' Ten Thousand! (Part 2)
However, to increase credibility, he had to play along with the Buddhists in this charade.
If he used a straw man doppelganger, it would be easy for people to associate it with Gou Shen and the Moon Holding Sect.
After all, Gou Shen had used straw man doppelgangers in front of others on more than one occasion.
So, Lin Fan created a new doppelganger technique.
Hair Doubling Technique.
Yes, that one—pluck a single hair and blow out a million monkeys~ Blowing a million doppelgangers from a single hair is pure nonsense.
But with one hair for one doppelganger, and under the premise that their strength wasn't particularly strong, it was still achievable.
This way, there was no fear of being discovered.
And now, after playing this game for so long, the killed doppelgangers numbered close to a thousand.
The Great Vehicle Buddhism would no longer doubt the authenticity of Tang Wu.
After all, if it was a fake Tang Wu, who would be crazy enough to create so many 'Tang Wu doppelgangers' to cause trouble?
Isn't this clearly a show of strength?
"Wait, what do you mean by 'who's crazy'?"
"..."
Isn't this just insulting himself?
Ptooey, ptooey.
Lin Fan shook his head, "But none of this matters, what's important is..."
"Basically, it's the final hour."
"This time, one hair is no longer enough."
"Need...one more."
His gaze intensified, and then, using Primordial Spirit Power, he wove the dozens of plucked hairs into a 'little man'.
"Huff~"
Immediately, he activated Triple Flower Summit, blowing out a breath of 'Immortal Qi'.
Boom!
The 'hair man' transformed into Tang Wu, exceptionally lively and lifelike.
Even if Tang Wu were still alive, he wouldn't be able to distinguish the real from the fake.
With strength roughly at the late Eighth Stage, this breath of 'Immortal Qi' would allow him to withstand two or three attacks from an early Ninth Stage opponent, although the duration was short, it was still sufficient.
"Sufficient!"
"Go!"
Lin Fan waved his hand, and 'Tang Wu' instantly turned into a trail of blue smoke.
---
Several days later, in the Helian Mountain Range of the Eastern Domain.
Tang Wu was currently in a cave, 'secluding himself to recover'.
Suddenly!
Boom! The cave exploded, and even the entire mountain was blown away. A group of monks burst in, and upon discovering Tang Wu, their expressions turned serious, "Tang Wu, it's really you!"
"Huh?!"
"Be careful, this Tang Wu isn't weak. This is probably him!"
"Quick, surround and kill him!"
"Immediately contact the nearby Buddhas to come and surround him. We've finally found the real one, this time, no matter what, we can't let him escape."
"Kill!!!"
The monks sprang into action.
For most of them, they didn't know why they were attacking Tang Wu, but as long as it was an order from above, as long as it was the Buddha's will, it was enough.
Even if they all died here, it didn't matter.
It was as if they were returning to the embrace of the Buddha.
So, they didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Damn!"
Tang Wu suddenly opened his eyes, his anger erupting.
"Great Vehicle Buddhism, you've gone too far!"
"This Divine King will fight you to the death!"
Tang Wu went into a raving frenzy.
He immediately unleashed his power, fighting desperately with the crowd.
Using various methods, he even summoned the shadow of a Sea God Trident, and in the Helian Mountain Range, he fought against the Buddhist Sect. In just an instant, the battle raged.
The battle was incredibly intense.
Soon, the demon cultivators hiding in the Helian Mountain Range were startled and emerged.
"Huh?!"
"Buddha Light Illumination, are these people from the Buddhist Sect?"
"Who are they attacking?"
"It seems to be the controversial Tang Wu. This Tang Wu actually has such strength?"
"Buddhist Sect...what audacity, coming to our Eastern Domain to throw their weight around?"
"It's the Great Vehicle Buddhism!"
Divine thoughts collided and intertwined.
"So intense!"
"This Tang Wu is fighting for his life."
"Of course, facing so many baldies from the Buddhist Sect, if he doesn't fight for his life, he's just waiting to die."
"But, he probably won't last, after all, he's too young. And the Buddhist Sect doesn't follow rules or morals, with so many people surrounding and attacking, Tang Wu will likely perish here today."
"..."
"Everyone, what do you say?"
"I think the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if we can't be friends, but if we can cause some trouble for the Great Vehicle Buddhism, I'm more than happy to do so."
"Not bad!"
"If this were the Western Domain...no, I wouldn't go to the Western Domain, but this is the Eastern Domain, the heart of the Eastern Domain! In the Helian Mountain Range, if the Great Vehicle Buddhism wants to cause trouble, they should see if we old demon heads agree."
"Hahahaha~!"
"Attack!"
Several demon heads reached a consensus and attacked together! In the past, they had been harassed by the self-righteous Buddhist Sect.
Some of the baldies from the Buddhist Sect would pursue and kill demon cultivators without a second thought.
Using all means necessary!
Countless demon cultivators suffered, and many more were killed by the Buddhist Sect when they were still young, never getting a chance to grow stronger.
The Buddhist Sect, backed by the Great Vehicle Buddhism, dominated a domain, and the demon cultivators dared not act rashly.
Even if they grew stronger, who would dare to go to the Western Domain for revenge?
But now, the opportunity has come.
They attacked, but not as the main force, just as support.
This was their chance to cause trouble for the Buddhist Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Tang Wu, don't panic!"
"Fellow Daoist Tang Wu, we're here to help you!"
"Baldies, take this!"
"!!!"
"..."
The siege instantly turned into a chaotic battle.
It was as if even the sky was being torn apart, the sky half-black and half-red, a frightening sight.
"..."
...
"Pfft!"
Within the Moon Embrace Palace, Lin Fan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn!"
"There's this kind of thing too?"
"!!!"
By the heavens and earth, I never thought this would happen. I only chose a place that should be harder for Great Vehicle Buddhism to reach and easier for others to 'accept' as my hiding spot, and now I've been found by them.
As a result...
These demon heads actually came to help.
You guys are making me anxious.
Lin Fan was helpless.
Just then, his clone 'shook with excitement', and in the midst of the battle, he became even more courageous.
"Damn it!"
"You demons, you're all looking for death!"
"Amitabha, may you be saved!"
"Quick, have the nearby Buddhas not arrived yet? These damn demons are attacking together. If we don't provide support soon, I'm afraid Tang Wu will escape!"
The bald monks were in a panic.
Someone frantically contacted the nearby Buddhas for help.
"Thank you, seniors, for your assistance!"
Tang Wu fought desperately, cutting through a bloody path.
He seemed excited, but in reality, his heart was bleeding.
Damn it!
The Buddhist aid is taking too long!
If you don't come soon, I'll have to run! His heart was anxious, but he said, "I will forever remember the kindness of the seniors. If I have the chance in the future, I will repay you tenfold."
"As for Great Vehicle Buddhism, the Buddhist Sect, hahaha!"
"For the kindness shown over the years, this Divine King will also repay tenfold. You wait and see!"
After speaking harshly, Tang Wu was stunned.
Damn it, why are they taking so long?
If I keep stalling, it'll be too obvious! Helpless, he could only turn and run.
Just at that moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and earth, like a bolt of lightning striking everyone's hearts.
"Offending the Abbot and you still dare to flee?!"
Boom!
The heavens and earth shattered!
Space was sealed.
Even time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Everything in the world slowed down, and the radiant Buddha light shone, as if the entire world was shaken.
"Tang Wu, and you demons, today you will all die here!"
Several Buddhas arrived, all with Ninth Stage battle prowess. They joined forces, and their combined attack was terrifyingly powerful.
"Arrogance!"
A demon cultivator roared, "Great Vehicle Buddhism is so arrogant. Even in our Eastern Domain, they dare to be so rampant, bullying our Eastern Domain and our Demon Dao Sacred Land, the Celestial Demon Palace, as if we have no one?"
"Such audacity, let's see if you can leave the Eastern Domain today!"
"Amitabha, life and death are insignificant."
"As long as we can kill Tang Wu and save you demons, even if we all die here, it's not a loss."
These Buddhas took action.
From the start, they unleashed a combined killing move.
Their strength was terrifying!
Their words made the demon cultivators' scalps tingle, and they all regretted their actions too late.
"Hmph!"
"Well done!"
"Since you're not afraid of death, let's see who has the last laugh today!"
"Seniors, now, we can only... fight to the death!"
"If we fight, there's a glimmer of hope. If we don't, we're surely doomed!"
"I'll go first, seniors, please join in!"
Tang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If they didn't come, he would have escaped.
If he escaped...
Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
How annoying!
"..."
"This Tang Wu is not as incompetent as the rumors say."
"Facing the calamity of death, he remains calm and fearless, even willing to take the lead for us old folks. At least in terms of character, this Tang Wu is indeed not bad."
"The rumors are wrong!"
"Rumors? Heh, it's rare for rumors to be wrong. Every time we demons are portrayed as evil, is it really the truth?"
"..."
The demon heads were anxious, exchanging thoughts with their divine consciousness, while also actively seeking a solution.
"I'm trying to contact the Celestial Demon Palace elders, but... these bald monks have prepared in advance, setting up an array to block the sound transmission talismans, and I can't reach them!"
"What should we do?"
"What to do? Fight to the death! Even a junior like Tang Wu dares to fight, how can we demons not dare to fight?"
"Good, then... Fight to the death!!!"
They were all demon heads.
It's common to be afraid of death, after all, who wants to die when they can live? But as demon heads, there are few who dare not fight to the death!
And when they fight, they are more frenzied and determined than cultivators from other systems.
In this situation, they directly 'exploded'.
Like firecrackers, they ignited with a spark!
"Killing one is a break-even, killing two is a profit!"
"Hahaha, well said, kill!"
They howled, each one crazier than the last, and several of them even started by burning their essence blood.
Burning essence blood means that even if they win and survive, they will need a lot of time, resources, and energy to recover in the future.
The Celestial Demon Disintegration Technique is even more extreme. Once initiated, it cannot be stopped. In the end, either the enemy is directly blasted to death, or they self-destruct after being defeated.
Or...
Both sides are stalemated, but when the time limit is reached, they explode directly.
It's a literal explosion. Those who use the Celestial Demon Disintegration Technique, if they haven't finished their task by the 'time limit', whether they have killed or been killed, will self-destruct!
It's like an arrow shot with no turning back, a direct fight to the death with no regrets!
Such a ferocious fighting method naturally leads to an extraordinary increase in strength.
Their desperate fighting stance instantly put pressure on the few Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from Great Vehicle Buddhism.
"Damn it!"
"These demons are all insane!"
"Blast them!"
"Want to die?
"Then I shall grant your wish! Not a single one of you shall be spared!"
"My Buddhist compassion is merciful and abhors killing, but what we must do is send them to meet the Buddha!"
"Kill!"
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and 'follow' him.
Each of them fought with all their might.
In an instant, under Tang Wu's influence, the entire arena became a chaotic battlefield, with everyone fighting desperately, each more fiercely than the last, and each more terrifying than the previous.
As they fought with such determination, casualties on both sides skyrocketed.
The battle raged on until the heavens and earth seemed to collapse, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Countless Dao Principles descended from above, and divine chains of order crisscrossed the sky.
They were repairing this 'tattered and worn-out world'.
Tang Wu bled profusely, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood as he was forced to retreat, his eyes taking in the entire battlefield. He had already made his calculations.
"There's no mistake, it's exactly like this."
His gaze burned intensely, "At this level, it's already enough, and no one will doubt me."
"If this drags on, these demon heads will likely perish here, and our plan will fail."
"I still need them to spread the plan!"
Tang Wu's heart stirred, and he already had his answer.
"So..."
"Now's the time!"
"!"
Tang Wu let out a loud shout, followed by a violent expulsion of three liters of blood.
"Ah!"
He fought fiercely, roaring, "Thank you, seniors, for your assistance. However, it seems that I won't be able to escape today. Since it has come to this, I won't be leaving either!"
"But seniors, you cannot all follow me to your graves!"
"Please prepare, seniors. Soon, I will use a secret technique to create an opening in their formation with all my might. Those who can escape should do so quickly!"
"As the saying goes, as long as the mountains remain, there will always be firewood. As long as you seniors survive, there will be opportunities to deal with them in the future!"
"Hahaha!"
Tang Wu let out a wild laugh, his voice filled with anguish, "Great Vehicle Buddhism?"
"I'll see when you'll be finished!"
"You're all dead!"
The demon heads looked at each other, their hearts filled with unease.
"This child, alas!!!"
"What a pity!"
"He actually has a pure heart. If we had met earlier, I would have been willing to teach him everything I know."
"But, has he overestimated us old fellows?"
"Yes, although we're not bad, to be honest, our potential in this life has almost reached its limit. Without a special opportunity, even if we become stronger, it's at most seven or eight times stronger, doubling our strength? Against Great Vehicle Buddhism, that's not even a drop in the ocean. It's like the difference between an ant and an elephant."
"This... we should still tell him. We can't let him die with regrets."
They quickly reached a conclusion.
They had to tell Tang Wu!
Such a good child, how could they let him die with regrets?
"Friend Tang Wu!"
"We admire your character, but you've also overestimated us old fellows. Although we also desire revenge and even the annihilation of Great Vehicle Buddhism and the entire Buddhist Sect, no Holy Land has ever been annihilated throughout history."
"Even the Celestial Demon Palace would have almost no chance. Unless the Celestial Demon Palace goes crazy, perhaps they could fight to the end and let Great Vehicle Buddhism perish first..."
"Yes, but that's clearly impossible. Although the Celestial Demon Palace and Great Vehicle Buddhism are like fire and water, if the Celestial Demon Palace were to fight to the death with Great Vehicle Buddhism, even if they win, it would be a pyrrhic victory. They would lose at least eight or nine-tenths of their strength, and they would be finished. Even if they survived, annihilation would be imminent."
"So, the Celestial Demon Palace won't do this. We... are afraid we can't help you take revenge, let alone annihilate the entire Great Vehicle Buddhism."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wu's face, which had been filled with a raving smile, froze.
But soon after, he laughed.
His laughter became even more insane, like a madman.
"Hahaha, seniors, you speak the truth."
"However, it's not absolute."
"Never mind, since this Divine King is also destined to perish here today, why fear anything more?"
"I was afraid that after revealing this secret, the entire Buddhist Sect would do everything to put me to death. But even without revealing it, Great Vehicle Buddhism never intended to let me go, destroying countless of my clones, and even if my true body hid in the Eastern Domain, they would find me."
"Never mind, never mind, hahaha!"
"Since it has come to this, I'll make this secret known to all. Seniors, listen carefully. I ask that whoever escapes later must announce this news to the world!"
"Great Vehicle Buddhism will surely perish!"
Boom! As these words were spoken, several Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who knew the truth felt their scalps go numb, and their faces changed drastically, "Damn it!!!"
Their worst fears had come true! "This Tang Wu can actually share memories with his clones?!"
"We're doomed!"
"Quick, stop him!"
"Stop him at all costs! Don't let him speak!"
The bald monks panicked.
They immediately abandoned their opponents and rushed towards Tang Wu in a frenzy.
"?"
The demon heads were stunned.
At first, they thought Tang Wu was just boasting.
What news could be so powerful that it would lead to the destruction of Great Vehicle Buddhism?!
But now, seeing the bald monks' determination... "Tang Wu's words are true!"
"It must be so!"
"Quick, stop them!"
"Let Friend Tang Wu speak. This secret must be related to the life and death of Great Vehicle Buddhism!"
"We don't mind dying, but as long as one of us survives, we can spread this news and make it public. As long as Great Vehicle Buddhism and the Buddhist Sect are destroyed, even if we all perish, so be it!"
"Protect Friend Tang Wu!"
The demon heads roared and charged towards Tang Wu, shielding him with their bodies.
