Chapter 625 - 619: Facing the World Honored Alone
Even though the Demon Lord and the Buddha reached some agreements with the World Honored, they still do not trust each other.
It can be said that they each harbor ulterior motives and trust no one.
Wa Huang’s incitement truly had an effect.
A change in the Demon Lord’s expression clearly showed he was influenced by Wa Huang’s words.
"The Four Great Primordial Spirits are connected like branches from the same tree, even the Human Emperor of the past couldn’t do anything to us."
"Not to mention, the mere World Honored?"
"After the World Honored achieves the Dao, if he lets us spread our teachings and gather faith, so be it. But if he doesn’t, we’ll find ways to deal with him."
"Even if the World Honored has achieved the Dao, he’s still far from the Human Emperor of those days!" With that, the Buddha looked at Wa Huang and the Demon Lord.
The Buddha meant that if the World Honored doesn’t behave after achieving the Dao, they would join forces to beat him up.
After achieving the Dao, the World Honored will be Tier One.
The Four Great Primordial Spirits are also Tier One.
Although all are Tier One, there are still distinctions in power.
Even if the World Honored achieves success, he can only be considered the lowest tier of Tier One.
Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, the Buddha, and the Daoist Ancestor, the four great primordial spirits, are roughly mid-tier in Tier One.
The Human Emperor’s realm, in fact, is the same as the four great primordial spirits, also a mid-tier in Tier One.
However, the Human Emperor can receive the Power of Heaven and Earth’s blessing, and after receiving this blessing,
he can fight the four of them alone, forcing Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, the Buddha, and the Daoist Ancestor to swear not to descend upon the world for ten thousand years.
Thus, it can be seen that the Human Emperor, blessed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, should be considered a Peak of Tier One.
The Buddha’s words were also recognized by the Demon Lord and Wa Huang.
After all, the three of them have the same ultimate goal.
...
...
"Lin Yuan, what do we do?"
"The Golden Pagoda has appeared again!"
"The Demon Soldiers and the Demon Generals are here again!"
...
...
Everyone began to speak, each one contributing a sentence, and their expressions were clearly unpleasant.
These Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals were like a bone-biting disease, clinging tightly to them.
They couldn’t be killed, nor shaken off.
After sealing off his sense of hearing, the World Honored was no longer disturbed by the outside world, and his tree-cutting speed increased significantly.
Lin Yuan watched the World Honored and the Bodhi Tree, which had already been cut to form a gap.
At this rate, it would be hard for them to hold out until dark!
At this point, Lin Yuan also gave up on the idea of damaging the Golden Treasure Tower and eliminating the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals.
From the current situation, the Golden Treasure Tower and the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals all rely on the existence of the World Honored’s Buddha Realm.
As long as the Buddha Realm exists, the Golden Treasure Tower and the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals can resurrect endlessly.
Wanting to destroy the World Honored’s Buddha Realm is impossible.
Now, the World Honored’s Buddha Realm is no longer just a small world.
Instead, it is a special world between small and large worlds.
Currently, it can be said that as long as the World Honored doesn’t die, the Buddha Realm remains indestructible.
Lin Yuan’s mind was racing as he searched for a way to break the stalemate.
After much thought, Lin Yuan found no good solution.
He could only leave Elder Bai and the others here to continue tangling with the Demon Soldiers and Generals while he went to harass the World Honored.
"Elder Bai, I’ll leave this to you!"
"I’m going to harass him!" With that, Lin Yuan dashed out of the battlefield.
Since resolving the entanglement with the Demon Soldiers and Generals was impossible in a short time, Lin Yuan had no choice but to strike at the World Honored alone.
To be honest, going at the World Honored solo made Lin Yuan somewhat uneasy.
After all, it’s the World Honored!
Can he really stop the World Honored alone?
Without confidence, Lin Yuan could only give it a desperate try.
Seeing Lin Yuan trying to escape the encirclement, the Demon Soldiers and Generals immediately surrounded him.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan frowned and swiftly slashed forward with his sword.
The surging sword aura was as volcanic and magnificent as an eruption, flooding the sky in an instant.
Each sword aura striking a Demon Soldier caused them to explode and die.
Even powerful Demon Generals were covered in wounds from the Human King Sword’s aura, like rolling over a mountain of knives.
This moment, Lin Yuan was like a deity slaying gods, and a Buddha slaying Buddhas.
Unfortunately, these Demon Soldiers and Generals, once slain, were quickly resurrected by the Golden Pagoda and emerged from it.
Seizing the moment while the Demon Soldiers and Generals were being revived, Lin Yuan broke out of the encirclement and reached the World Honored’s side.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang!"
Lin Yuan stood right behind the World Honored, yet the World Honored didn’t even bother to turn his head.
Clearly, the World Honored didn’t consider Lin Yuan worth his attention; a mere Lin Yuan wasn’t even qualified to make him turn around.
At this moment, the World Honored’s eyes were only on the Bodhi Tree; as long as he cut it down, he could achieve his Dao.
By then, in this realm, he could control everything with ease.
Everyone who defied his will must die.
"Damn it!"
"Looking down on me?" Lin Yuan surely understood the World Honored’s meaning.
He couldn’t allow the World Honored to fell this Bodhi Tree, their last sanctuary from the Dean.
Once this Bodhi Tree fell, their defeat would be assured.
No time to delay, Lin Yuan decisively swung his sword!
"Clang!"
The sharp sword sound reverberated around, as a serpent-like sword aura glowing indigo radiated an extremely terrifying energy.
Lin Yuan felt the World Honored was too arrogant.
Even if he looked down upon Lin Yuan, he shouldn’t look down upon the Renwang Sword.
With this relic of the Human King in hand, Lin Yuan wasn’t entirely powerless against the World Honored.
The Human King Sword held immense, terrifying energy as the World Honored continued disregarding everything to chop the tree.
It seemed he was certain that Lin Yuan’s strike couldn’t breach his defenses.
Once the energy was fully charged, Lin Yuan unleashed his sword.
The World Honored remained motionless, standing there, allowing Lin Yuan’s strike to hit him.
Not even a defensive action was made by the World Honored.
The strike landed on the World Honored’s back.
The World Honored took the hit unfazed, as if the strike hadn’t even touched him.
However, there was indeed a deep, bone-revealing wound on the World Honored’s back.
The sword aura within that wound continued to grow, gradually destroying the World Honored’s golden body.
"I am the heavens!"
"The heavens are me!"
"How can a mere mortal body cut down the heavens?" The World Honored declared aloud, his words like Words Become Law.
As his words fell, the wound on his back vanished.
At the same time, in the skies of the Buddha Realm, a crack appeared.
The crack emitted the same surging sword aura from the Human King Sword.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan roughly guessed the situation.
The World Honored’s immortality ensured the Buddha Realm’s indestructibility; coexisting with the Buddha Realm, he transferred his injuries to it.
(ps: Running a fever, 38.5 degrees, aching all over, shivering unbearably, enduring it painfully to write this, brothers, bear with it.)
