A ten-thousand-meter giant Buddha emanated golden light, which transformed into streams of Vajra intent soaring into the sky, seemingly capable of piercing everything.
Under the influence of the Vajra intent, all beings, save for the demon gods, became fearless and unafraid of any enemy.
The Vajra Buddha chanted a Buddhist phrase and extended one finger.
Pointing at the ground, his lips moved slightly.
"I possess the Vajra intent, capable of defeating all enemies!"
"Vajra Shattering Finger!"
Boom!
A golden finger suddenly appeared and struck the ground fiercely.
This golden Buddha finger was a thousand meters long. When it struck, it was as if the hardest substance in the world had impacted the ground.
Instantly, the earth was shattered by this finger.
Rumble!!!
The earth broke into pieces, like shattered glass, becoming countless fragments.
Upon seeing this, the demon gods hurriedly flew into the sky. They were still shaken by the destruction wrought by the Vajra Buddha. If this had struck them, their bodies would have been pulverized.
They all displayed expressions of apprehension.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, they were filled with extreme dread.
For, the Vajra Buddha, seemingly satisfied with his Vajra Shattering Finger, did not stop at using one finger. He unleashed all ten fingers simultaneously.
"Ten-Fingered Vajra, Finger to Remove Afflictions!"
Rumble!!!
Ten colossal fingers, like celestial pillars, were released from the Vajra Buddha's hands.
In an instant, they shattered everything in their path, be it the attacks of the demon gods or space itself. Under these fingers, everything crumbled into pieces like glass with a deafening roar.
"Ah!"
Screams of agony echoed.
Some demon gods could no longer resist. Their demon bodies were shattered by a finger, and their souls escaped. Seeing the continuously attacking colossal fingers, they shivered and fled into the distance.
A body could be reformed, but a lost soul meant utter annihilation.
Suddenly.
Their vision went dark as a three-headed, six-armed boy appeared before them.
"Who are you? Do not block my path."
"I possess three eyes, capable of sending you to hell. Are you willing to go?"
"Scram!" the demon god roared in anger.
What kind of people were these? Sending others to heaven or hell at the drop of a hat.
He simply wanted to stay in the mortal realm and go nowhere else.
However, whether he went or not was no longer up to him. The boy smiled.
The eye on the brow of the rightmost head opened.
"I have three eyes, representing Heaven, Earth, and Man. This Earth Eye can allow me to open the secrets of the earth!"
"Today, I am even stronger. I have awakened a new divine ability, which I shall demonstrate for you to witness."
"I say, there is an underworld beneath the earth. As you are now a soul, you ought to enter the underworld. Go, find your peace."
These words were spoken with extreme arrogance, enraging the demon god.
What was the deal with this person?
He couldn't defeat the Vajra Buddha, but he couldn't defeat a mere boy?
He immediately lunged forward viciously, aiming to burrow into the boy's sea of consciousness. He swore to devour the boy's soul.
But, in the next second, his expression changed drastically.
For, after the boy's right Earth Eye opened, streams of gray light shot out.
Rumble!!
The earth split open, revealing a chasm from which the aura of the netherworld could be vaguely sensed.
"I have opened the underworld. You may now find peace."
"This is a space created by my Earth Eye. Enter it and find eternal bliss."
The boy's voice was calm, as if recounting an ordinary event. But the demon god shivered, filled with extreme dread.
"Come in!" the boy said calmly.
The next moment, a beam of light erupted from the boy's Earth Eye.
The demon god's soul was bound by this light, finding itself unable to move. He was dragged into that space.
"Die!"
The boy's voice rang out. The demon god's soul was immediately disintegrated, leaving behind only pure soul power and memory crystals.
This was the power of the boy's Earth Eye, which contained a netherworld space, inherently effective against souls.
After killing a demon god, the boy raised his head to look at the other demon gods.
Under the attacks of the Vajra Buddha, the demon gods struggled to resist. Soon, their demon bodies were shattered, leaving only their souls to flee.
Seeing this, the boy opened his Earth Eye, and these souls were all drawn into the netherworld, transforming into pure soul power and memory crystals.
This scene was quickly noticed by the other demon gods.
They were greatly alarmed, and a deep terror rose within them.
"Not good, another being capable of fighting beyond their level."
"What is going on? Why are they so strong?"
"The Vajra Buddha's fingers shatter our demon bodies with a single touch. With the boy blocking our retreat, our souls will also be harvested. What do we do now?"
"Quickly use the Ring of Arrogance! Only a divine artifact can save us."
"But, this was given to us by Lord Arrogance to deal with the giants."
"Though the giants are strong, they are comparable to these two. If we capture one, we can still report back."
"There is no other way. Quickly use the Ring of Arrogance."
"Alright! Everyone inject energy together and activate the Ring of Arrogance."
"..........."
Under the relentless attacks of the Vajra Buddha and the boy, the demon gods lost a tenth of their numbers in a mere moment.
Seeing that they could not win, they grew desperate.
The leading middle-ranked god took out the Ring of Arrogance.
Boom!
As soon as the Ring of Arrogance appeared, streams of arrogant emotions permeated the surroundings.
The demon gods hurriedly stabilized their minds, resisting the erosion of these emotions.
However, some demon gods still fell victim to it. They became immensely arrogant, looking down on everything as if they were proud roosters.
Lin Yu, observing from the shadows, was also somewhat surprised.
He stared at the Ring of Arrogance, wondering what level of divine artifact it was.
But since they could bring it out to fight, it was likely at least a high-ranked divine artifact.
However, a mere high-ranked divine artifact would have no effect on him.
At this moment.
The middle-ranked god wielding the Ring of Arrogance shouted loudly, "Everyone, activate the divine artifact together!"
"Yes!"
As their voices faded, streams of energy were injected into the Ring of Arrogance.
Boom!
The Ring of Arrogance radiated a dazzling light, as brilliant as the sun.
Suddenly, a phantom image of a demon god appeared above the Ring of Arrogance.
Upon seeing the demon god's phantom, all the demon gods bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty Lord Arrogance, we have encountered a great trouble. Please, render your assistance!"
Lord Arrogance nodded. He first surveyed the surroundings, observing the environment.
"Hmm, the strength of this Buddha is rather interesting!"
"And that three-headed, six-armed boy is also very strong. It seems you are all like those giants, individuals with extraordinary talent, capable of fighting beyond your level."
"The whereabouts of that giant are unknown, so we will not seek him for now. I am fated to meet you. Are you willing to become my disciples? I will cultivate you to become Arch-Devils and ascend to one of the Seven Deadly Sins' lordships, ruling the thirty-sixth layer of the Abyss."
