Chapter 787 - 781: Lin Yuan Enters the Returning Ruins, Wa Huang Pursues to Kill
Lin Yuan traversed the Returning Ruins and arrived at its entrance.
At a glance, the entrance to the Returning Ruins was covered with bodies.
These bodies belonged to the disciples of Wa Huang’s Palace, the Great Burial Heaven Temple, and the Great Demon God Palace.
Previously, after Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha joined forces to seal the entrance to the Returning Ruins.
Each of the three forces left a group of disciples to guard the entrance to the Returning Ruins.
Just now, Wa Huang ordered the disciples of Wa Huang’s Palace to attack the disciples of the Great Burial Heaven Temple and the Great Demon God Palace.
Wa Huang’s voice echoed through the Void, naturally reaching the disciples of Wa Huang’s Palace guarding the Returning Ruins.
So, the battle erupted here at the entrance of the Returning Ruins as well.
After a fierce fight, the three factions ended up in mutual destruction.
Lin Yuan arrived here just in time to see this field of corpses.
Killing three warriors with two peaches, truly one of the four ultimate cunning strategies.
Just because of two World Honored Dao Fruits, the entire Void ran rivers of blood among the three great forces.
Lin Yuan had reached the entrance of the Returning Ruins, daring not to delay, fearing that after Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha ceased their fight, they would target him next.
Lin Yuan wanted to enter the Returning Ruins quickly, but he was blocked by the seal set up by Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan drew out the Human King Sword.
He intended to slash the seal with his sword.
"Ding!"
The sharp sound of the sword’s cry echoed as the sword’s brilliance gathered on the blade, and Lin Yuan raised the sword, hacking at the seal.
Abundant Sword Qi burst forth, heavily slashing onto the seal.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, a sharp crack appeared on the seal, and Lin Yuan’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
However, this mere seal was still unable to allow Lin Yuan access to the Returning Ruins.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Lin Yuan swung his sword again, exerting all his strength, continuously slashing at the seal.
The seal at the entrance of the Returning Ruins, though arranged by the Buddha, the Demon Lord, and Wa Huang together.
However, the seal was ultimately lifeless, with limited energy within it.
Under Lin Yuan’s successive strikes, the seal completely shattered.
Taking advantage of the broken seal of the Returning Ruins, Lin Yuan entered without hesitation.
....
....
The Buddha’s perception was sharp, and at this moment, he had already noticed that on the body of the Wind-Fire Demon God, formed by Wa Huang from Earth, appeared fine cracks.
The Buddha knew that the Wind-Fire Demon God couldn’t hold out.
"Wa Huang, you’re nothing more than a paper tiger."
"Your Wind-Fire Demon God is cracking, isn’t it barely holding on?"
"Since you cannot prove your innocence, just give up and don’t waste our time!" the Buddha said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the Buddha’s words, Wa Huang’s expression changed involuntarily.
The Buddha spoke the truth; the Wind-Fire Demon God wouldn’t last much longer.
After all, it was merely formed from Earth, and having been able to help Wa Huang withstand the prolonged attack from the Demon Lord and the Buddha was already quite impressive.
Seeing her weakness exposed, Wa Huang knew she couldn’t afford to be indecisive any longer.
"Since you are so aggressive, let’s all perish together!"
After Wa Huang said this, she kicked off from the back of the Wind-Fire Demon God, quickly leveraging herself to flee towards the flanks.
At the same time, Wa Huang began forming seals with her hands.
With a loud "boom."
The Wind-Fire Demon God exploded, with a visible shockwave instantly expanding over a hundred miles, carrying endless astral winds and flames from the void.
The Demon Lord, the Buddha, and Wa Huang, caught in the shockwave, were directly blown away.
It took a long time for the shockwave to finally subside.
The void in the explosion area was left in ruins, with rifts everywhere.
Although Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha did not die, they were all severely injured.
"Wa Huang!"
"You are truly ruthless!"
"I want to see what other methods you have now!" The Demon Lord and the Buddha surrounded Wa Huang, the Demon Lord said viciously.
Watching the approaching Demon Lord and Buddha, a look of determination appeared on Wa Huang’s face.
Today, it seemed she would not escape this disaster.
"Hahaha!" Wa Huang laughed maniacally, "Methods?"
"To be honest, I do have a method."
"Just now was the self-destruction of the Wind-Fire Demon God, next, how about my self-destruction?"
Self-destruction!
Upon hearing these two words, the Buddha and the Demon Lord instinctively retreated a lot.
The self-destruction of the Wind-Fire Demon God had left Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha all seriously injured.
The power of Wa Huang’s self-destruction would only exceed, not be less than that of the Wind-Fire Demon God formed from Earth. In other words, if Wa Huang self-destructed, it was very likely to result in mutual destruction with them.
At the very least, it would cause them further injury.
They were already seriously injured now, and if they sustained further injuries, the Yin Celestial Son might come to reap the fruits.
By then, they’d still be doomed to die.
For a moment, the Buddha, the Demon Lord, and Wa Huang were at a standoff.
If the Demon Lord and the Buddha dared to make a move against Wa Huang, she would immediately self-destruct.
Once Wa Huang self-destructed, the Demon Lord and the Buddha would be dead either way.
Amidst this standoff, with no one daring to act rashly, a sudden change occurred.
"Someone is destroying the Returning Ruins’ seal."
"It’s Lin Yuan."
"He has entered the Returning Ruins!" Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and the Buddha each said a sentence in unison.
Lin Yuan entering the Returning Ruins seemed to provide Wa Huang with an opportunity.
Wa Huang spoke to the Demon Lord and Buddha, "I told you from the beginning, we’ve been tricked."
"I fear all this was orchestrated to help Lin Yuan enter the Returning Ruins."
"Lin Yuan risking entry into the Returning Ruins must be to achieve something."
"Once Lin Yuan achieves his goal, we’re likely to be left with no place to rest in peace."
"Buddha, oh Buddha, you pride yourself on your cunning, but this time, you’ve been outwitted and made a wedding dress for someone else."
After hearing Wa Huang’s words, the Buddha fell silent.
Lin Yuan entering the Returning Ruins made the Buddha realize something was wrong.
It truly seemed he had been outwitted.
Everything happened so coincidentally.
Perhaps the World Honored Dao Fruit was not in Wa Huang’s hands at all, and all this was a scheme carefully planned by the Yin Celestial Son.
The purpose was to help Lin Yuan enter the Returning Ruins.
Once Lin Yuan achieved his goal in the Returning Ruins, he would certainly be capable of destroying the entire Void.
The Buddha now realizing this seemed too late.
The three families had already been fighting like dogs.
At this time, the Buddha could only try to find a remedy.
"Wa Huang, if you want to prove your innocence, enter the Returning Ruins and kill Lin Yuan."
"If you can bring out Lin Yuan’s head, we will believe you!" the Buddha called out to Wa Huang.
Sending Wa Huang to kill Lin Yuan was the only remedy the Buddha could think of so far.
With Lin Yuan just entering the Returning Ruins, there might still be time.
"Buddha...." The Demon Lord wanted to question, but the Buddha stopped him, giving him no chance to speak.
Given the Demon Lord’s intelligence, the Buddha didn’t have time to explain so much.
"Wa Huang, there’s little time, quickly decide!" the Buddha urged once more.
Wa Huang’s current state made entering the Returning Ruins to kill Lin Yuan somewhat risky.
However, taking a risk was better than self-destruction.
"Alright!"
"I’ll go!" Wa Huang agreed.
To survive, she had no other choice.
