urprised expressions on the faces of the old monsters, Chen He Nian had a pleased expression. He had seen the methods of Jie Li Han before, and in the battle outside the Lingxiao Palace mountain gate,...Lanjing Lake, its surface like a mirror. Even with a slight breeze from the sky, it couldn't stir up even a ripple on Lanjing Lake.

The demonic fish in the lake swam, like spirits moving in amber. Demonic birds flying overhead cast clear shadows on the surface of the lake.

From the lakeshore all the way to the center of the lake, islands are lush and green, with pagodas rising in heights. Many places on the lake have boats carrying people who sit silently meditating. There are also anglers concentrating deeply on their fishing. Between the mountain ridges and in front of the pagodas, one can see practitioners everywhere, either engrossed in meditation or discussing Buddhist teachings.

Qian Yin Temple was as usual, with the monks each diligently cultivating their own practices.

"Master Brother Mingfa, this time the Buddhist sect's disciples who went to the demon realm suffered considerable losses. To reduce casualties, we need to send more disciples from the Ming generation to lead the way. This time, I will have you, Master Brother, lead the disciples to Mingxie Mountain. After arriving at Mingxie Mountain, remember to look out for each other and advance and retreat together. Don't give the demons any opportunity." Master Mingjing imparted his instructions to his younger brother, Mingfa.

“Rest assured, senior brother. Junior brother will definitely work with other fellow disciples to exterminate demons and protect the way, bringing peace and sunshine to the demonic domain.” Mingfa clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect.

"One should never underestimate anything, even though the Demon Realm has experienced several major battles, its strength remains."

“Yes, senior brother!”

When Dafǎ and Míngjìng finished their conversation, over two thousand disciples of Qiānyīn Temple had already gathered. A massive flying vessel stretched across the sky above the island.

>These two thousand plus monks boarded the boats in an orderly fashion, preparing to journey to the chaotic Demon Realm and spread the Buddha's teachings. Along with their fellow disciples, they aimed to bring the chaotic Demon Realm under the brilliant light of the Buddhist sect.

Just as this massive flying vessel had yet to start, a vast shadow came crashing down from afar. Accompanying this shadow was a wave of ferocious and oppressive ghostly energy.

Under the blazing sun, a gigantic cloud suddenly appeared, blocking out the sunlight overhead in an instant. All that could be seen was darkness.

“Uh oh, spirits are attacking!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of the thousand-sound temple bell echoed through the air, a series of tight rings and then pauses. The rapid ringing summoned all the monks of the Thousand Sounds Temple within the shortest time possible, to face the greatest threat the temple had ever seen since its founding.

"A swarm of Void-Devouring Ants, they are such ferocious creatures!" Master Mingjing and Master Mingfa, the two monks who had attained the state of unification, looked on in astonishment at the ant horde swarming toward them like locusts.

“Brother, what should we do” Ming Fa’s face was ashen.

"Let's go, and have all the disciples scatter and escape as much as they can." Mingjing trembled and said, in front of this overwhelming swarm of ghost ants, Qinyin Temple was nothing but a drop in the ocean. Moreover, from that swarm of ghost ants, Mingjing felt even more the unmatchable aura of the Great Accomplishment realm Ghost Ant King.

In the void, an ant horde like a dark cloud hangs low. These monks, like stones dropped into the sea, only stir ripples of varying sizes before being engulfed by the swarming ants, leaving the surface calm as if they had never been there at all.

The Ghost Ant King lurked within the ant throng, overlooking the teeming Qi Yin Temple through a dense veil of his ghostly ants. The screams of the Qi Yin Temple monks sounded to the Ghost Ant King like a beautiful symphony.

Within the anthill, countless Void Devourer Ants had gorged themselves on the flesh of monks. As they returned to the nest, their auras grew stronger, and even more Void Devourer Ants emerged from within the hive, bolstering the already formidable ant colony.

Apart from this swarm of ants, dozens of other branch temples of the Buddhist sect were also attacked. Compared to this layered and stacked swarm of ghost ants, other places naturally weren't as smooth sailing, with varying degrees of casualties. However, regardless of the outcome, in the areas closest to the Buddhist sect and the chaotic demon domain, war broke out immediately. The swarm of Void-Devouring Ghost Ants was like a sharp blade, directly piercing towards the heart of the Buddhist sect.

Where swarms of ants pass, the air is rife with ghostly energy, and almost no vegetation can grow. Buddhist monks find it nearly impossible to withstand the onslaught of the ant swarm. Dozens of large and small subtemples have been destroyed, leaving behind only death. Even the spirit beasts and spirit birds raised by the subtemples could barely escape unharmed.

A raging inferno raged within the seal, and within that seal, a sky-splitting halberd of azure blue was gradually taking shape. As time passed, this halberd, under the scorching of the Vermillion Heaven Fire, became increasingly refined. Blood Qi, under the control of divine consciousness, manifested as blood-colored beasts, crossing over the Vermillion Heaven Fire and entering the sky-splitting halberd.
