Qin Wentian glanced at the young woman as he called out, “Youhuang.”
So it turned out that the figure who appeared was none other than Beiming Youhuang. And as for that magnificent goddess which appeared behind her, it was none other than the Imperishable Heaven Lord.
The Imperishable Heaven Lord seemed to be alive. She stared at the ancient giant buddha before them as her eyes flickered with coldness. This was a meeting between mortal enemies from countless years ago.
Back then, the mastermind behind the world-destroying battle of Ancient Azure Mystic was none than the Godking of the Western World, the Buddha Sovereign. He was the one that destroyed Azure Mystic. She, as the Heaven Lord of Azure Mystic, had failed to protect her immortal realms, leading to it being destroyed. Countless deities on her side had fallen, there was no need to mention about ordinary cultivators. Those who died turned into specks of dust in history, an entire world was destroyed. How cruel was that? This debt of hatred, although countless years had passed, she would always remember it and had engraved it in her heart.
Endless soul power enveloped the surroundings. Around the Imperishable Heaven Lord, countless halos lit up, each representing an illusory soul. They seemed endless in number and were akin to an army of death spirits. These souls were all experts who had died in defense of Ancient Azure Mystic, and have now all been awakened. They returned, filled with vengeance.
“You could actually return?” A voice rang out from the giant buddha, like he recognized the Imperishable Heaven Lord. Although he was formed from the gathered faith of the western world army, the one controlling him was none other than the Buddha Sovereign. The Buddha Sovereign naturally would recognize the Imperishable Heaven Lord. He was borrowing the power of faith to attack the Heaven Vault, reinforcing his own strength to a shocking level.
Even when he was in his peak state back then, he had never been so powerful before. This was the Buddha Sovereign after his transformation. He returned after recuperating for countless years and he returned much stronger than before after gaining insights and mastering different daos. He was now capable of almost anything. In this world, was there still anyone who could block his path and ambition?
After he took over the Heaven Vault, he would use it as his base of operations to control the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, converting the masses. The people of the thirty-three immortal realms would all change their beliefs and channel their faith to him. At that time, he could use the boundless amount of faith to allow his body to break out of the nine heavenly layers and truly obtain transcendence. When that point of time arrived, this universe would no longer be able to restrict him. He would then become the ultimate king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
“Since you could return, why couldn’t I?” The Imperishable Heaven Lord spoke, like she has truly returned. Once, she used a heaven-defying method to disperse her soul to bury Ancient Azure Mystic, sealing countless souls there, storing their vengeance away. She did all of this in hopes that there would come a day where the souls in Ancient Azure Mystic could be awakened and obtain revenge for the world-destroying battle.
Beiming Youhuang was none other than the person who awakened her. She was chosen by the Grim Reaper and not only has she awakened her, she has also awakened the souls sealed away for countless years in Ancient Azure Mystic.
Behind the Imperishable Heaven Lord and Beiming Youhuang, the army of death spirits from Ancient Azure Mystic could be seen. They’ve returned for battle. They only have a single purpose and that’s to destroy the western paradise.
“Just a bunch of spirits, do you really think they can do anything? I shall use my supreme buddhist arts to deliver all of you from your suffering.” That figure icily spoke. After that, countless buddhas manifested in the air. The buddhic chants they uttered seemed to contain the power of deliverance. In an instant, Boundless buddhic light flashed, enveloping the starry skies, including the space where Beiming Youhuang and the Imperishable Heaven Lord was at.
Around the army of death spirits, countless runewords of the character ‘卍’ directly branded themselves into the bodies of the spirits, intending on destroying them.
“This giant buddha statue is capable of the myriad of buddhist arts, he can do anything.” Many people sighed silently. The Godking of the Western World was just too strong, he was skilled in everything and could unleash any type of buddhic technique or art to the greatest effect.
However, at this very moment, the figures of the army of death spirits grew increasingly illusory, like they were becoming non-existent. An invisible energy flowed towards Beiming Youhuang like the energy within the death spirits all belonged to her. The faint spirits shimmered in and out of existence around her, as though they possessed void bodies. Their spirits seemed like they were about to vanish at any moment.
This caused the runewords of deliverance ‘卍’ to lose its effect. The runewords hit nothing but air, they were still extremely powerful but didn’t have a target to aim at.
Beiming Youhuang closed her eyes. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. At this moment, she was exceptionally beautiful and incomparably holy and pure, like a maiden from the nine heavens. Right now, she was even comparable to the Imperishable Heaven Lord standing behind her, as her aura had a hint of majesty. In terms of beauty, she wasn’t inferior at all.
The Imperishable Heaven Lord stared ahead, her eyes flickered with coldness. The Buddha Sovereign wanted to deliver these spirits?
The army of death spirits were awakened by none other than Beiming Youhuang. It wasn’t going to be so easy to attack them.
The giant buddha also seemed to have realized this. Beiming Youhuang was then the crucial component. If he killed her, everything would be resolved.
“As the Heaven Lord, you actually handed everything to a junior. Is this your inheritance?” The giant buddha spoke. The Imperishable Heaven Lord stared at him, “Someone as selfish as you would never understand. To you, the people in this world are nothing more than tools to help you achieve your desires. You care nothing for their lives and deaths and would willingly destroy a world if it suits your aim. Back then, Ancient Azure Mystic was a good example. Today, you control everyone in the western world for your own purpose again. Most probably, there’s no one as evil as you in this world. What’s even more terrifying is that you still want to act behind the facade of being a buddha.”
“Youhuang, allow him to feel your strength.” The Imperishable Heaven Lord spoke. Beiming Youhuang still had her eyes closed. In an instant, everyone in the starry sky including heavenly deities, all felt a strange sensation. It was like a mysterious energy had appeared in their souls and could directly attack their souls.
“She’s even more terrifying now.” The expressions of some of the deities beside Yue Changkong changed. Back then in the battle within the Heaven Vault, some of them had already experienced the power of Beiming Youhuang’s soul stop ability. This type of ability that could ignore defense to directly attack the souls of her target was simply too terrifying. There was no way to defend against this at all. Now that Beiming Youhuang was stronger than before, how much more terrifying would the consequences be if she directly soul attacked them?
There was no one who could guarantee their survival. If they suffered a soul attack from her, they would most probably die.
In this ultimate clash of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, what would the ending be? No one could anticipate who the final victor would be.
“Soul stop.” Beiming Youhuang’s long hair danced in the wind. Her beauty was exceptional. Her ruby red lips moved as a cold voice was issued from her mouth. In an instant, countless experts behind the giant buddha felt their bodies stiffening. The buddhic light radiating from their bodies weakened as their souls seemed to stop functioning, like they were frozen. Layers of frost covered their bodies as they became ice statues, frozen forever in the starry space.
“Do you think this will be useful?” That giant buddha coldly spoke. His voice rang out through the starry skies. Countless people heard his voice. The light from his dao enveloped everyone from the western world. He was one with them. Fate has tied them together and they were now one entity. Since this is the case, their daos are the same as well.
“Time reversal.” As the sound of his voice rang out, the buddhic light flared even brighter. The giant buddha statue transformed into a buddha of time and caused the time reversal effect. The power of soul stop began to recede from the bodies of everyone. This scene was extremely wondrous. The layers of frost on their bodies began to thaw bit by bit.
“He is even proficient in the dao of time. Is there really no one who can defeat him?” Many people were speechless. The Buddha Sovereign was too powerful. Even without his original self appearing, he was already so powerful to the extent of invincibility.
The Grim Reaper frowned. If this was the case, the giant buddha would truly be an invincible existence that had no weakness. No matter how powerful Beiming Youhuang was, it was useless as his time reversal could reverse all the negative effects. Unless they could find the true body of the Buddha Sovereign and kill him, not giving him any chance to unleash his dao.
But if they don’t break his control over the masses, it was also impossible to force him out. This was truly a paradoxical situation that had no solution.
Just the Buddha Sovereign alone was ready so troublesome for them to deal with. Yue Changkong and Che Hou were still observing from the side. Che Hou has already proven his strength back then and Yue Changkong was someone that assimilated the power of two godkings. He would only be stronger. As of now, his true strength was still a mystery. No one knew for certain.
“I can stop time but if we want to kill him, I’m afraid that this is not enough. To kill him, we must seize the exact moment when he loses the connection of faith with the western world army and join forces to destroy the giant buddha before we can break his dao. This is possibly the only solution.” At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke, his voice ringing out in the minds of everyone. The eyes of the Grim Reaper flashed. That’s right, Qin Wentian was also proficient in the dao of time. His understanding of it now should be even deeper than before.
The idea proposed by Qin Wentian was feasible.
“Me and Senior Grim Reaper will be responsible for destroying the giant buddha.” Qin Yuanfeng spoke. Everyone nodded and turned their gazes forward. At the next moment, all the peak characters began to unleash their dao arts. For a time, the amount of power and pressure in the air was simply shocking to the extreme!
