Seeing ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍this.

Li ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Tianwei only found it laughable.

People ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍always hoped that a savior would appear to rescue them, that a hero would emerge, and under his leadership everyone could overturn everything. Yet they had never truly reflected on how such heroes came to be.

Even if they did think about it, they would only worship those so-called heroes as heavenly gods.

But where did those so-called heroes ultimately come from?

Without question, they came from the countless living beings.

And those heroes also became heroes only because of those very people.

Rather than worshipping those illusory heroes, or fantasizing that someone in the Heavenly Court was helping them, they never considered that perhaps it was not a matter of standing with whichever side won.

Rather, whichever side they chose to stand with would become the victorious one.

Seeing this, Li Tianwei slowly stepped forward, his gaze sweeping continuously across the monks.

At the same time, his aura continued rising, and the Dharma Manifestation behind him grew increasingly immense.

As the terrifying pressure descended, the monks continued chanting scriptures, still praying without end.

They completely ignored Li Tianwei’s approach.

It was as though they intended to display their devotion through this, willing to spill their blood beneath the heavens to summon the Buddha.

“The Buddha will descend. You great demon will be utterly destroyed.”

“Great evil, great wickedness. When the True Buddha descends into the world, you will be exterminated.”

Even after seeing Li Tianwei’s aura and power continuously rising, several monks remained completely confident.

As their voices rang out, Li Tianwei shifted his gaze onto the few monks who had spoken.

Taking a single step, he instantly appeared before them.

“The True Buddha, is it?”

“He’ll come and destroy me, is that it?”

Looking at these people, who clearly still possessed strength and means to resist, yet had chosen to pray.

Li Tianwei raised his hand without the slightest hesitation and slapped them directly across their faces.

With Li Tianwei’s current strength, a single slap was enough to reach deep into a person’s soul and consciousness.

Moreover, he had infused it with the power of Heavenly-Ending Yin Fiend, together with countless overlapping curses.

The eyes of the monks who had received the slap, once filled with devotion, suddenly became clear.

They even looked somewhat dumbfounded.

They simply could not understand why Li Tianwei had suddenly slapped them.

But as they recovered from their confusion...

An intense pain erupted from the depths of their consciousness.

Immediately, the monks clutched their faces.

The muscles on their faces visibly twisted together.

Pain could clearly be seen in their eyes.

The agony was so overwhelming that they completely lost their composure.

“It hurts! It hurts!”

“What’s happening?! No!”

Their miserable screams echoed through the air.

The monks who had been slapped by Li Tianwei were already rolling across the ground.

As for everyone else, they remained seated cross-legged.

Rather than resisting Li Tianwei’s actions, they continued chanting scriptures, praying for the Buddha in the heavens to bless them.

Seeing this scene.

Li Tianwei’s expression no longer needed any explanation.

“Damn it.”

“These people really deserve a beating!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Tianwei rolled up his sleeves and strode forward.

Smack, smack, smack, smack...

For a moment, a continuous series of slaps rang out.

The crisp, explosive sound pierced through heaven and earth.

Anyone who heard it knew just how mercilessly those slaps had landed.

The monks who had been chanting scriptures were now rolling across the ground in agonized screams.

As for those who had not yet been slapped...

They were utterly dumbfounded.

Their eyes became clear as they stared blankly at Li Tianwei.

Some even subconsciously covered their own faces, afraid that Li Tianwei’s terrifying slap would befall them next.

After rolling up his sleeves, Li Tianwei felt completely refreshed from the beating.

It was a rare chance to release some pressure.

Back in his former world, Li Tianwei had often wanted to give every one of those religious followers a slap to wake them up properly.

Now...

His wish had finally come true.

Because this time, he truly could slap them awake.

Every single slap had been specially enhanced by Li Tianwei.

His goal was to make them suffer unbearable pain.

If the Sun–Moon Banner could create so many forms of punishment, reproducing them in reality was hardly difficult.

For a time, the entire area fell completely silent.

The chanting disappeared.

Only the cries of people clutching their faces in agony remained.

At this point, Li Tianwei lowered his hand and looked toward another part of the sky.

At that moment, he could already sense an indescribable change taking place throughout the entire Western Spirit Domain.

He could feel that the existence which had originally remained hidden outside the world had already begun entering the Cultivation World.

“So it’s finally coming in.”

“It’s much easier for them to come looking for me than for me to seek them out.”

Li Tianwei sighed inwardly.

At this moment, half of Tianshu Demon Lord’s body had already forced its way into the Cultivation World.

Moreover, throughout the Western Spirit Domain, every living being who believed in Buddhism heard a voice resounding within their hearts.

Tianshu Demon Lord’s bewitching words echoed throughout the hearts of every living being in the Western Spirit Domain.

“The Buddha... It’s the Buddha’s voice...”

“It is inviting us all to journey together to the Western Paradise.”

“I heard it too! The Buddha is about to descend!”

“The True Buddha!”

Countless believers had already knelt upon the ground, palms pressed together, chanting scriptures in unison to welcome Tianshu Demon Lord’s arrival.

Tianshu Demon Lord also felt the power born from the faith of all living beings.

This was precisely what the Evil Demons desired.

What the Evil Demons longed for was exactly this—

The power of the thoughts and beliefs of all living beings.

If the entire Cultivation World became their breeding ground, it would bring about a complete qualitative transformation for the Evil Demons.

“How laughable.”

“These people clearly possess the power to overturn heaven and earth—the collective strength of all living beings’ thoughts.”

“If only they were like us Evil Demons, completely opening their minds, they themselves could possess supreme might.”

“Yet instead, they choose to lock themselves away and place their thoughts upon illusory beings.”

As Tianshu Demon Lord felt the power gathered from all the living beings of the Western Spirit Domain, it thought so truthfully.

Through this, Tianshu Demon Lord also saw that these people...

Were destined to become food for the Evil Demons.

Entrusted with the faith of countless cultivators and mortals throughout the Western Spirit Domain, Tianshu Demon Lord responded to the wishes of all living beings and manifested itself as the True Buddha walking the world.

In an instant, endless Buddhist radiance burst forth, illuminating the entire heaven and earth.

At that moment, anyone paying attention would discover that an additional sun had somehow appeared in the sky.

And when that second sun reached its brightest moment...

It slowly descended.

High above the heavens, a lotus throne appeared, upon which sat a solitary figure.

Behind it, boundless Buddhist radiance shone across heaven and earth.

Descending with the light at its back, the Buddha’s figure exuded supreme majesty.

“Namo Amitabha.”

Seeing this, Tianshu Demon Lord knew that its replacement of the Heavenly Dao had succeeded.

Floating in midair, Tianshu Demon Lord imitated the Buddha and slowly chanted.
