“Brother Che Hou.” At this moment, a person called out causing Che Hou to turn his head. The person who called out was none other than Yue Changkong.
Only to see that there was a faint smile on Yue Changkong’s face. He spoke, “Brother Che Hou, why is there a need to be in such a hurry? The buddhas of the western world came all the way here. Their acts of kindness spread throughout the world and they desire to deliver the multitude of lives from their suffering. Under the power of the Buddhist Sect, all resistance will be futile and will submit eventually. Both of us only needs to act as support.”
What sort of character was Yue Changkong. It wasn’t too overboard to say that he is the incarnate of pure evil and he also possessed the power of two godkings. His cultivation base is extremely strong, yet his personality was so evil. His purpose wasn’t so simple as to destroy the Heaven Vault. He naturally wanted to rule unchallenged and become the king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
However, the commotion caused by the western world this time around not only stunned the people of the world. It caused him to be stunned as well. This wasn’t merely the power of the Buddhist Sovereign alone. It was the power of all buddhist cultivators. Once this gathered power erupted forth, how strong would it be? Even if the one on the opposite side was an ancient godking that has returned, the godking might not be able to contend against this.
After all, the lord of the western paradise himself was also a godking and he was much stronger than before. In addition, he had the reinforcement from all the buddhist cultivators this time around.
Under such circumstances, Yue Changkong naturally wouldn’t take the lead to act first. If both parties ended up injured from the clash, who would then contend against the western paradise? For such a situation, it was naturally best to allow the western paradise to take the lead.
Che Hou’s eyes flashed, instantly understanding Yue Changkong’s intention. Although the battle intent in his heart was extremely intense and he wanted nothing more than to transform into his supreme divine weapon form to kill his way into the Heaven Vault, he still managed to endure that desire. He transformed into a golden beam of light and flew aside, leaving the battlefield for the buddhas of the western world.
Buddhic chants filled the air, that incomparably gigantic ancient buddha in the lead stepped forward. From his body, countless buddha figures manifested. These figures seemed to be manifested from the faith in Buddhism from the people of the world. As the sounds of chanting intensified, rumbling sounds could be heard. The palm of that gigantic buddha pressed down, instantly casting a shadow over everything. A five-fingered palm imprint directly bore downwards, even the sky seemed to have been entirely covered, only that palm was left in the world. It had the power to suppress the heavens, nothing could evade its scope. The boundless sea, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect were both completely covered as well.
Qin Wentian inclined his head. At this moment, not only did they feel pressure boring down on their bodies, they felt pressure on their souls as well. An image of an incomparably gigantic buddha appeared in their minds, their own selves were incomparably tiny compared to it, unable to withstand a single strike. The buddha felt like it could easily destroy anything.
“No…!” Many people let out roars of fears. These people were those innocent spectators who were at the shores of the Boundless Sea Region. They stared at the gigantic palm print and felt an immense pressure from their souls. They felt doomsday arriving for them. Given their cultivation bases, it was basically impossible for them to evade this strike. They would die for sure. Not only for them, for those weaker cultivators here in this space, everyone would be buried.
Qin Wentian’s gaze became terrifying to the extreme. A fearsome storm of space and time enveloped everyone. Time flowed by, the bodies instantly vanished from their original location and when they appeared again, those innocent spectators as well as his friends and loved ones were directly brought into the Heaven Vault. At the moment of the storm, they felt themselves traversing through different points of space and time, they had no idea the amount of distance they traveled. When they returned to their senses, they could see the giant palm before them, the palm covered an incomparably vast distance, burying everything within its area.
“Hu…” Many people let out a breath they unknowingly held in, feeling as though they just returned from a visit to the gates of hell as they stared at the destruction before their eyes. Their hearts pounded violently. They initially only wanted to witness this battle yet just a single attack has almost buried them.
“Many thanks.” Many of them turned and bowed. They knew that it was Qin Wentian who saved their lives. As for those buddhas who said that they were acting in the stead of kindness, they didn’t care about them at all. In the eyes of the buddhas from the western world, they were as tiny and inconsequential as ants. Completely insignificant beings that could be smacked to death with a single slap.
Were the buddhas of the western world really acting in the name of good?
“I will pray that the Heaven Vault would become the ultimate king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. I will definitely give it my allegiance.” Someone spoke. “If the western paradise or Yue Changkong becomes the ultimate king, it would undoubtedly be a calamity for the rest of us.”
“I also hope that the Heaven Vault would be able to become the ultimate king. For this war, the Heaven Vault must definitely be the winner.” Those who were rescued by Qin Wentian all gave him their blessings. Qin Wentian’s method of saving them has already surpassed the scope of their understanding and is already something infinitesimally close to the level of a godking. It wasn’t surprising that such powerful existences would have some heaven-defying methods.
The entire Qin Heavenly Divine Sect disappeared from the power of that one palm strike. The boundless sea appeared again, but it was clearly more sunken in now than before. The sea region transformed into an abyss. Qin Wentian sent the others directly into the Heaven Vault.
Intense rumbling sounds rang out. A golden finger appeared in the space inside the Heaven Vault. This finger was incomparably gigantic, resembling the sharpest absolute ultimate divine weapon in the world. It pierced into the slit which was the entrance of the Heaven Vault and forced the gap between the slit to widen increasingly, forcefully opening the Vault’s entrance.
Once, when Qin Wentian occupied the Heaven Vault, he enjoyed an advantage whereby if he doesn’t open the vault, no one else could enter. However, things were different today. The godking of the west has returned, Yue Changkong possessed the power of two godkings, and Che Hou has completely transformed. The entrance of the Heaven Vault could no longer block them. Qin Wentian was very clear on this point. After all, the Heaven Vault was a creation of Godking Xi. It might be able to block deities but it definitely wouldn’t be able to last forever against godkings.
The western world army advanced, moving towards the Heaven Vault’s entrance. A pair of gigantic hands appeared there, trying to pry the entrance wider.
However, at the instant when they entered the Heaven Vault, a surge of supreme sword intent descended within the Heaven Vault. A spacetime storm manifested, transforming into billions of strands of sword qi that could exterminate everything.
“Careful!” A low voice rang out. That immensely gigantic ancient buddha used its body to block the entrance of the Heaven Vault. Countless smaller buddhas manifested from it, all of them blasting out a palm attack, forming an array with billions of palm imprints that stacked together, extending into the Heaven Vault, intend on opening up a pathway for the western world army.
The gigantic buddha extended his palm through the entrance first followed by his head, causing the entrance to widen as more cracks appeared. That gigantic body finally stepped through, the sounds of buddhic chants could now be heard within the Heaven Vault, transforming into a mighty force.
Qin Wentian and the others retreated into the depths of the Heaven Vault. They stood in the starry space but they saw the buddha head rising in height to the point where it was on the same level as them. Their figures flashed and continued flying upwards. That head also continued to grow higher like it intended to reach the nine heavenly layers.
Finally the height of the giant ancient buddha stopped growing. The western world army behind it finally entered fully and stood around the buddha. Qin Wentian and the others stood in the starry space, they felt their hearts trembling when they stared at the gigantic buddha. This buddha was too huge in size. It was something transformed from the faith of all the buddhist cultivators in the western world. Could this buddha be that godking of the western world?
Or maybe it was just a statue that was being controlled by the Buddha Sovereign?
Within the Heaven Vault, despite the gigantic size of the buddha, it was unable to occupy the entire starry sky. It just appeared extremely large before the eyes of the cultivators of the Heaven Vault. In any case, it was more convenient to fight a battle inside here, they would have space to evade the buddha’s blows. If it was on the outside, they would have no space at all and the aftershocks would surely cause the deaths of countless innocents.
The buddha chants reverberated through the air. The buddhist cultivators all pressed their palms together as they chanted together. In an instant, the power of their faith seemed to act as an amplifier for the buddha arts. The buddhic sounds continued to enter the minds of Qin Wentian and the others. Qin Wentian and the rest wanted to seal their hearing but they still had no way to prevent the voice from entering their minds. A few moments later, buddhic light actually manifested from all of them.
At this moment, Qin Wentian felt as though a buddha was born in his body. There was now a buddhic root. Everyone had a buddha in their hearts at this moment.
“The buddhic arts are boundless, everyone just return from the path of evil. The shore is just behind you.” A voice rang out in the minds of everyone, like the voice of a great dao. Those people who recently entered the heavenly deity realm felt their hearts wavering. At this moment, numerous scenes flashed through their minds. These scenes were scenes of their lives from their birth up until now. It was like they were looking through their entire lives.
The moments of pain and agony were even clearer now, imprinting that in their minds. After that, a supreme might born from the power of faith descended on them, expelling all feelings of negativity from their minds, allowing their hearts to gain peace again. The buddhic light radiating from them grew even more resplendent, it felt like they were on the verge of becoming a buddhist cultivator.
“The wills of the multitude of lives transformed into a type of dao.” Qin Wentian’s powerful will allowed him to break free. He stared at the western world army. Such power was somewhat similar to what he experienced back then due to the eight senses of buddhism. But the power he felt today was even more tyrannical. How powerful would the western world army, an army formed from the faith of everyone, be? The dao has entered their hearts, steeped in their souls. All their actions and thoughts were already influenced. This was just too terrifying. No wonder the western world wanted to take the time and slowly travel east to ‘deliver’ people from suffering.
“The old bald donkey is actually so powerful now. Is he about to comprehend the ultimate dao?” Yue Changkong stood in another location inside the Heaven Vault as he watched the happenings. His heart silently shook when he saw the deities around Qin Wentian being affected. Although he hoped to take down the Heaven Vault, he didn’t wish for the process to be so simple. If the western world could directly suppress and dominate Qin Wentian, this wouldn’t be something advantageous to him. The best case scenario would be one where the two of them were heavily injured by each other.
“Don’t be controlled!” Qin Wentian coldly roared, his voice ringing out loud in the minds of everyone, causing those affected to regain a modicum of clarity. After that, all of them did their best to resist that buddhic sounds in their minds.
However, the buddhic sounds was relentless. The gigantic ancient buddha continued to chant, manifesting buddhic runes which imprinted themselves in the hearts of people.
“Such a buddha art, what difference does it have when compared to an evil art?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke when he felt this power. An immense amount of devil might gushed forth from him, enveloping the people around him, helping them to resist the corrosion of their wills by the buddhic energy.
At this moment outside the Heaven Vault, a black shadow flashed by. After that, the skies in the starry space turned to darkness. Terrifying death qi permeated everything.
“That fellow has finally appeared.” Qin Wentian silently mused. In truth, he wouldn’t find it easy to deal with that gigantic buddha at all. Luckily, help has now appeared.
