"Tathagata, it seems that you, the leader of Buddhism, have not made much progress."
The Bull Demon King put away his magical powers and said to Tathagata with disdain on his face.
Hearing the words of the Bull Demon King, Tathagata was hit hard both physically and mentally. His heart was filled with anger and he spat out a mouthful of blood again.
Seeing the Tathagata's anger attacking his heart, the Bull Demon King knew that his goal had been achieved, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Tathagata, since you have lost, I will not let Tang Xuanzang go. I won't do anything to you. You can still go back and forth from where you came."
The Bull Demon King spoke again.
Hearing this, Tathagata felt filled with grief and anger, and a trace of blood flashed in his eyes, looking extremely evil and terrifying.
"Ox Demon King, I have written down what happened today."
The compassionate look on Tathagata's face disappeared, and he said with a ferocious expression.
"Hahaha, Lao Niu is waiting for you at any time, but you are not qualified to say these words now."
The Bull Demon King looked at Tathagata with disdain in his eyes, not taking him seriously at all.
Tathagata was seriously injured twice in succession and had already run out of energy. Knowing that he would only be humiliating himself if he stayed any longer, he took a deep look at the Bull Demon King and staggered back to Lingshan Mountain.
Lingshan.
Tathagata and the Bull Demon King made the final blow, and many Buddhas in Lingshan also gathered the power of faith on Tathagata. Tathagata was defeated, and many Buddhas were also affected.
This battle can be said to have caused considerable losses to the entire Lingshan Mountain, and the atmosphere in the entire Lingshan Mountain was extremely cold.
"Meet Tathagata Buddha!"
As the Tathagata returned to Lingshan, many Buddhas paid respectful obeisance to the Tathagata.
"Amitabha, please forgive me."
Tathagata said very weakly.
"Tathagata Buddha, what should I do now?"
Guanyin and others felt that it was extremely difficult, and Tathagata suffered another heavy blow, so they asked with worry in their hearts.
"I was seriously injured and could only retreat for self-cultivation. From now on, all affairs in Lingshan will be handed over to the Randen Buddha."
Tathagata turned his attention to Ran Deng and said.
After hearing Tathagata's words, Ran Deng's heart was suddenly filled with surprise and surprise, and at the same time he felt a little solemn.
Ran Deng knew very well that in the Tathagata retreat, he was the talker of Lingshan and had to preside over everything by himself. This was undoubtedly an unexpected good thing for Ran Deng.
If he performs very well, maybe the two sages of the West will let him take Tathagata's place and become the leader of Buddhism. By then, it can be said that Ran Deng will receive huge benefits.
But now there is a mess all over Lingshan Mountain. The Bull Demon King has kidnapped Tang Xuanzang, and there is no one in Lingshan Mountain who can rival him. This makes Ran Deng very distressed.
Tathagata felt Ran Deng's gaze and naturally knew what Ran Deng was thinking. However, after two battles, Tathagata could no longer suppress his injuries and could only choose to retreat. This was Tathagata's last resort.
"Randeng Buddha, the Bull Demon King is a disciple of the Jie Cult. Now the only way to convince him is to ask Deputy Cult Leader Qin to come forward. As long as Deputy Cult Master Qin agrees, the Bull Demon King will naturally not dare to disobey."
The Tathagata spoke again and pointed out a clear path for Ran Deng.
"Tathagata Buddha, don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
Hearing this, the solemnity in Ran Deng's heart immediately disappeared, and he agreed immediately.
"All disciples, listen to the order. All affairs in the future will be temporarily managed by Ran Deng Buddha. Do you understand?"
The Tathagata looked around and his voice spread throughout Lingshan Mountain.
"In compliance with the Buddha's order, we will pay homage to the Deng Deng Buddha!"
Many Buddhist disciples immediately bowed respectfully to Ran Deng.
"It's all free!"
Hearing the voices of the disciples, Ran Deng was extremely surprised and spoke with a straightened expression.
After explaining everything, Tathagata immediately went to retreat without caring about anything else.
The Tathagata entered the place of retreat and used his magic power to completely seal it. In an instant, the compassionate and peaceful Buddha's light on his body suddenly disappeared.
Instead, there were streams of extremely evil and terrifying black light. Scarlet and pitch-black light were constantly flowing in Tathagata's eyes, which looked extremely weird.
"Tathagata, you are still a dignified leader of Buddhism, but you are defeated one after another. You are really incompetent."
A dark figure emerged from behind Tathagata and spoke.
"Amitabha, you dare to bewitch me, your inner demon, I will definitely suppress you!"
The Tathagata suffered heavy losses and it was impossible to suppress his inner demons.
"Tathagata, there's no need to struggle anymore. With your current abilities, there's no way you can stop me."
As he spoke, terrifying power erupted from the black shadow, emerged from Tathagata's body, and condensed into a figure wearing black robes that appeared in front of Tathagata.
"Tathagata, I have escaped from trouble. From now on, I will be Wutian Buddha. When I return, I will take over Buddhism for you and let it flourish."
Wutian said with a cold smile on his face.
Hearing Wutian's words, Tathagata's heart was full of bitterness. The coming of the inner demon into the world would be a huge disaster for him.
But now that he has suffered severe injuries, he has no ability to suppress Wutian, and can only watch him escape.
"Wutian, you don't have to be too arrogant. I will suppress you again in the future."
Tathagata looked pale and responded extremely weakly.
"Hahaha, I'm waiting for that day."
Wutian just smiled disdainfully at Tathagata's words.
Then, under Tathagata's unwilling and anxious gaze, Wutian turned into a black light and left Lingshan, returning to the prehistoric world.
Although Wutian is the inner demon of the Tathagata, his cultivation is the same as that of the Tathagata.
At the same time, Wutian also knows that staying in the ancient world is still full of dangers, so he leaves temporarily and waits for the time to come before returning to the ancient world.
As Wutian left, even if Tathagata had every choice, he could only suppress him and leave Wutian's matter to be resolved in the future for the time being.
Everyone on Lingshan Mountain was completely unaware of Wutian's coming into the world. After Ran Deng took over the power of taking charge of Lingshan Mountain, his heart was filled with excitement.
"How should the issue of Ran Deng Buddha and Tang Xuanzang be resolved?"
Guanyin and others bowed respectfully to Ran Deng.
"The Bull Demon King is so powerful that we may not be his match. Now we have no choice but to follow Tathagata Buddha's instructions and ask Deputy Leader Qin to come forward."
Hearing this, Ran Deng also felt a headache.
"Randeng Buddha, Deputy Leader Qin has always disliked my Buddhism. How should I persuade him?"
Guanyin and others thought for a moment, then spoke again with solemn faces.
"Now that things have happened, I can't help him. I can only try. I will go to Penglai Immortal Island immediately. You will wait here."
Saying that, Ran Deng went straight to Penglai Immortal Island without any hesitation.
"Stop comers, why don't you come and tell me your name!"
Ran Deng arrived at Penglai Immortal Island and was immediately stopped by the disciples of Jie Jiao.
"I am Buddha Ran Deng. I am here to ask to see Deputy Leader Qin. Please let me know."
Hearing this, although Ran Deng felt a little unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to show it and responded with a smile.
"You wait here, I will go and report."
Hearing this, the Jie Jiao disciples had a strange expression on their faces, and turned around to inform Qin Feng of the matter.
After receiving the news, a smile suddenly appeared on Qin Feng's face and said: "Let him come."
"I sincerely obey the orders of Deputy Cult Leader Qin."
Upon hearing this, the Jie Jiao disciples immediately bowed respectfully to Qin Feng.
Under the leadership of Jie Jiao disciples, Ran Deng met Qin Feng with a smile on his face...
