Blood flowed down Mount Jin, and the temple collapsed with a deafening roar.

Collapsing alongside it was the Leifeng Pagoda.

Tens of thousands of demons and monsters swarmed out, and even with the divine artifacts bestowed upon me by the Buddha, I was exhausted trying to deal with them.

"Fahai! You deserve to die!"

The demons roared in anger as the White Snake danced wildly.

I took off my monk's robe, and it transformed into a long embankment, holding back the surging sea of blood.

However, for every foot the embankment rose, the blood sea rose by ten feet, and anyone touched by the crimson blood would die, with the monks inside the temple melting one after another.

The demons died one after another beneath the staff of my spine, but more and more kept coming.

Just when I was powerless to resist, Xu Xian stepped forward.

"Stop! I'll go with you," Xu Xian said solemnly.

Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen and said, "My wife, our grievances are between you and me. Others are innocent."

Xu Xian clasped his hands together and remained silent.

Xiaoqing also put away the snake-skin banner at the same time.

The Golden Mountain Temple was in ruins, and countless demons entered the mortal world, yet they departed gracefully!

I was furious but powerless.

Once again, I felt the sorrow of being weak.

Without powerful strength to subdue demons and monsters, how many more people would fall victim in the world?

"Buddha above, this disciple is powerless. I beg for the bestowal of magical treasures to aid the mortal realm!"

No matter the cost, I would suppress the demons, especially the Green and White Snakes!

I opened my clothes, and the tender flesh and blood spread, corroding my own body.

I was greatly alarmed, intending to resist, but I felt neither pain nor itchiness. It even felt somewhat pleasant, and I began to accept it.

A golden light flickered, and in my dazed state, it seemed as if my master was beckoning to me.

"Master..."
