Primordial Venerable summoned with his hand, and a string of stones flew into his grasp.
"Dragon Blood Stone, Star Essence Stone, Ten Thousand Spirit Stone, Ice Soul, Fierce Sun, these are not easy to come by."
Bai Jin said with a grin, "Master, your disciple is blessed with merit and deep fortune, just taking a few steps and I stumbled upon them."
"Haha~ Master will borrow a bit of your luck then, I’ve been planning to forge a Magic Treasure recently and need these stones, so Master will accept them."
With a casual flick of his sleeve, the Primordial Venerable sent the string of Divine Stones flying out of the grand hall, transforming into a dazzling and colorful Divine Stone mine that thunderously settled within Qingwei Heaven.
Bai Jin curiously asked, "Master, what Magic Treasure are you forging?"
Primordial Venerable looked up outside and said cheerfully, "It’s finally over."
The space in front of them rippled, creating a projection in which the Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage punched out, *bang*—his fist connecting squarely with the Tathagata’s forehead. A fiery red ripple swept out, the Chaos Space around shattered with a rumble, and the Buddha screamed as he fell into the crumbling Chaos.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage shook his hand and said, "Well, that’s enough! My hand is hurting from all the punching." His figure faded and disappeared into the Chaos.
Above Jilei Mountain, the space suddenly shattered, and a streak of golden light flashed, the Buddha’s golden body falling out of it and crashing onto the devastated land below, *boom*—stirring the ground, dust billowing, turning the already desolate place into complete ruins.
The Buddha crawled out from the deep crater, with a face so swollen it could hardly form the miserable appearance it now bore; the whole person seemed fatter by a round, appearing even more compassionate and stately.
Tathagata Buddha looked around, muttering, "Chicken Bone Mountain, jeez, how did I end up being dragged here?"
"Of course, I invited you, Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas!" a deep voice sounded.
The Buddha quickly turned his head. Now the Jilei Mountain had collapsed into a towering mound; standing erect on the mound was a stone stele with a tiny figure at its front, dressed in a black robe embroidered with azure cloud patterns, exuding an extraordinary ethereal bearing.
The Tathagata Buddha hesitated before walking over and asking, "Kunpeng Demon Saint, what brings you to Chicken Bone Mountain? If there is feces on the nascent soul, it is my fault for the oversight."
Kunpeng Pharmacist’s eyelid twitched as he snapped, "Speak properly."
Immediately, Tathagata Buddha felt a coolness wash over him, the swollen and fiery pain in his mouth easing, and he quickly said with joy, "Thank you, Kunpeng Demon Master. But for what reason does the Demon Master come to Western Continent? My apologies for not welcoming you from afar—please forgive!"
Kunpeng Demon Master reached out to touch the stone stele, saying in a low voice, "Divine Enthronement has ended, the Heavenly Court rises dominating the Three Realms.
In search of a sliver of freedom under the oppression of the Heavenly Court Gods, the Demon Clan and Buddhism have formed an alliance.
It was you who personally agreed to allow the Demon Clan to roam the Western Continent, and with the approval of Buddhism, these children joyfully traveled from Northern Continent to Western Continent. But now, they are all dead."
Names upon the stele were burning with green flames—Chi Yan Demon God, He Feng Demon, Qi Qing Demon God, Pengyu Demon God... Ancient Marsh Demon King, Black Bone Demon King, Fengling Demon King... each name listed upon it.
A feeling of unease flashed through the Tathagata’s heart, and with palms pressed together in prayer, he quickly said, "This was not my intention. It’s despicable that Jiang Ziya poisoned and murdered these Demon Kings in secret."
"First, he poisoned many Demon Kings, then strangled countless little monsters; the Demons of Western Continent have nearly perished, their desperate wails and resentment piercing into Northern Continent."
Kunpeng Pharmacist suddenly turned his head, looking at the Tathagata with anger and said, "Duo Bao, your Buddhism has broken the covenant; you must answer today for these fallen Demon disciples."
The Tathagata reflexively stepped back, a bad premonition flashing through his mind—surely not another ordeal!
Boom~ The area where The Buddha resided shattered, and Infinite Black Water swept up The Buddha, rushing into the broken void.
Kunpeng Demon Master, with hands behind his back, stepped into the shattered void. The space twisted and disappeared.
In Yuxu Palace, Bai Jin looked at the projection before him in shock. The actions of Kunpeng Demon Master were truly beyond his expectations. Their alliance was just like that, gone? So fragile!
The wails of The Buddha echoed from the Chaos; even though The Buddha was a Quasi-Saint who had severed two of his incarnations and was the Sect Hierarch of the Great Sect of Buddhism, he had no power to resist the strongest. He tumbled through Primordial World like a golden ball being repeatedly struck.
Bai Jin shivered at the thought of The Buddha also becoming one of the strongest in the near future. He wouldn’t want to... exchange blows with me in Chaos, would he? This update ıs available on novel-fire.net
"Bai Jin, you seem unsettled. Are you worried about something?"
"Master, after Buddhism prospers, will Duo Bao Tathagata also attain the strength of the strongest?"
"He should be able to."
Bai Jin, with a pained expression, said: "It’s over, Master. You don’t know! Senior Brother Duobao misunderstands me deeply. I’m afraid he’ll come after me later."
"Afraid? How could that be possible? I am a disciple of The Three Pure Ones, a true inheritor of the Profound Sect. Even if I die in battle in Chaos, I shall never shrink back and bring shame to The Three Pure Ones." Bai Jin declared righteously.
Primordial Venerable nodded in satisfaction: "That’s the spirit. The pursuit of immortal cultivation requires courage and an unwavering Dao Heart. But you also needn’t worry too much. Your older sister, Wudang Saint, is also close to attaining the strength of the strongest. As the Heavenly Tribulation’s influence grows deeper in the Primordial Continent, her authority also increases. It’s just a matter of time before she reaches the strength of the strongest."
Bai Jin immediately said joyfully: "My older sister is also going to attain the strength of the strongest? That’s really great!"
On the West Sea Coast of Primordial Continent, Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian and Queen Mother of Yaochi lay on lounge chairs, basking in the sunlight, with beverages and fruits beside them, wearing sunglasses purchased from the Three Realms Mall.
Queen Mother of Yaochi chuckled: "Hao Tian, it looks like The Buddha got beaten up pretty badly this time."
Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian laughed: "It’s alright. The cultivation technique of Buddhism ensures resilience. He won’t die."
Queen Mother of Yaochi smiled and said: "Hao Tian, don’t you want to take this opportunity to teach Duo Bao a lesson? It’s a rare chance! If you wait until Duo Bao also attains the strength of the strongest, it won’t be so easy to hit him again."
"Just a junior who has just entered the realm of the strongest. If I want to teach him a lesson, I can do so anytime.
But you’re right - this opportunity is indeed rare. You stay here and watch; I’ll go play in the Chaos." Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian vanished in an instant.
Within Chaos, Kunpeng Demon Master proceeded with the vigor of a dragon and the caution of a tiger, casting myriad Divine Skills of the Demon Clan in a casual manner. Bai Ze’s Divine Skills, infused spirits into brush and ink, Qin Yuan’s Divine Skills, Soul Destruction Needle, Luo Yu’s Divine Skills, Polluted Water, Shu Hu’s Divine Skills, Soul-shattering Cry, Qiongqi’s Divine Skills, Greedy Devouring, Qitu’s Divine Skills, Heavenly Dog’s Divine Skills, Bi Fang’s Divine Skills, Shengyu’s Divine Skills...
All the Divine Skills of the Divine Beasts and Demon Beasts of Primordial World were mobilized effortlessly, exhibiting terrifying power. Even the ancestors of these Demon Gods would have to flee in panic, completely outmatched.
As The Buddha howled miserably while tumbling in Chaos, suddenly a hand reached out from within it and firmly grasped the shoulder of the gigantic Golden Buddha, steadying him.
Heavenly Emperor emerged from Chaos with a smile.
