Chapter 674 - 668: Reinforcements
Void.
The battlefield for the siege of the Void Race.
The Buddha and the Demon Lord are observing, watching as their disciples devour the Void Race, growing stronger.
The Buddha and the Demon Lord are internally thrilled!
Ever since the Buddha’s four disciples were completely annihilated, and only one of the Demon Lord’s four Demon Kings remained, they finally saw some progress from their subordinates.
"This siege is almost done, we shouldn’t continue killing!"
"The number of the Void Race has decreased by almost half, and this time they’ve suffered a heavy blow, it might take them a century to recover!" The Buddha slowly said, watching the entire battlefield.
At this moment, the Void Race on the battlefield truly is in a dire situation.
The Buddha also knows that one mustn’t wipe things out completely.
Their aim was the eggs; if they slaughtered the chicken, how will they eat eggs in the future?
Especially this time, they killed too many of the Void Race, which indeed feels like killing the chicken to get the eggs.
If they continued like this, the Void Race would truly be done for.
"Kill a little more, kill a little more!"
"My Demon Generals under me can still grow stronger. There’s even a chance a new Demon King might be born." The Demon Lord said excitedly.
The so-called Demon King is Tier Two Peak.
In the continuous devouring of the Void Race, someone under the Demon Lord’s command was indeed about to break through, reaching Tier Two Peak.
Not just the Demon Lord!
It’s the same for the Buddha’s disciples, many of them are just an epiphany away from Tier Two Peak.
The Buddha thought for a moment and said: "Then kill a little longer, until nightfall!"
"Once they break out of the encirclement at night, we will stop pursuing them..."
As soon as the Buddha finished speaking, he heard the sound of spitting blood, "Pfft, pfft."
Demon Lord: "????"
The Demon Lord stood there dazed, not understanding why the Buddha was spitting blood.
"Blood!"
"Why are you spitting blood?" The Demon Lord asked in a panic.
It’s worth noting this is happening in the void.
In the void, only the other three Great Primordial Spirits could make the Buddha spit blood.
The four Great Primordial Spirits, the Daoist Ancestor has already dissolved and reincarnated.
First, assuming it was the Daoist Ancestor targeting the Buddha.
The Demon Lord has been here watching the battle with the Buddha, and he is an ally with the Buddha.
He neither had the opportunity nor a reason to target the Buddha.
So, both the Daoist Venerable and the Demon Lord were ruled out.
Then, the target can only be Wa Huang.
"That Wa Huang woman is plotting against you!"
"I said, that woman doesn’t seem like a good person, we should join forces and take her down together." The Demon Lord said indignantly.
The Demon Lord and Wa Huang originally had a bad relationship, and having the opportunity to take down Wa Huang, the Demon Lord would clearly not give it up.
Compared to the impulsive Demon Lord, the Buddha appeared much calmer.
Even now, he remained composed.
"It’s unlikely to be Wa Huang."
"Although Wa Huang is difficult, she absolutely wouldn’t kill."
"If she targeted me, it would definitely be a fatal strike, kill me first, then face you one-on-one."
"As long as she can’t kill me, we would join forces against her, what would she gain?" The Buddha rationally analyzed.
It must be said, the Buddha’s analysis made a lot of sense.
Unless Wa Huang was confident she could directly take the Buddha down.
Otherwise, it was better to remain allies with her.
"Then what exactly is going on?"
"If it’s not her, who else could hurt you?" The Demon Lord asked, puzzled.
As one of the top masters within the void, the Buddha had already sensed something in the unseen.
Though the Great Burial Heaven Temple was far from here, the Buddha still had a hunch.
"It seems something’s happened to my Great Burial Heaven Temple, let me use magic to check!" The Buddha said, beginning to chant incantations.
As the Buddha cast magic, images of the Great Burial Heaven Temple appeared in his mind.
At this moment, under the blaze of fire, a third of the Great Burial Heaven Temple had been burned down.
"Ah!"
"How bold, how bold indeed!"
"Daring to destroy my Great Burial Heaven Temple, once I get my hands on you, I’ll turn you into lamp oil!" The Buddha said through clenched teeth, seething with anger.
Even a clay Buddha has some temper, let alone the dignified Buddha.
The Buddha remotely activated some arrays in the Great Burial Heaven Temple to extinguish the raging flames.
However, the Great Burial Heaven Temple at this point was beyond recognition, to restore it would require enormous amounts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Restoring the Great Burial Heaven Temple was later business, the immediate urgency was to find the culprit.
Thinking of this, the Buddha began searching for clues.
"Void Race?"
"How could there be a Void Race here?"
"A huge number of Void Race?"
The Buddha was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend.
But by this time, the Void Race had long since retreated, and the Buddha could not seek revenge on them.
The Buddha slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Demon Lord, and said: "The Void Race has raided my Great Burial Heaven Temple, and all the disciples left there have been killed."
"Also, my Great Burial Heaven Temple has been burned down."
Demon Lord: "????"
The Demon Lord looked stunned, only speaking after a long pause: "Your Great Burial Heaven Temple was burned?"
"How is that possible?"
"We’ve been battling the Void Race for so many years, do we not know their strength?"
"Even if they managed to split their forces, they couldn’t burn down your Great Burial Heaven Temple!"
"Even if their Grand Elder went there, it couldn’t be done."
Having battled for so many years, the Demon Lord knew the Void Race’s strength.
If the Void Race had the power to destroy the Great Burial Heaven Temple, they wouldn’t have been running around the void for so many years, like rats in a sewer.
After hearing the Demon Lord’s query, the Buddha solemnly opened his mouth and said: "If it was just the Void Race, certainly it couldn’t be done."
"Also the Yin Celestial Son, in the remnants of Void Fire, I found traces of the Yin Celestial Son’s power."
"The Void Race has joined forces with the Yin Celestial Son!"
Upon hearing that the Void Race had allied with the Yin Celestial Son, the Demon Lord was enraged: "Traitor, the Void Race betrayed the Void."
"I say, we should just wipe out the Void Race!"
However, this suggestion was rejected by the Buddha.
"The immediate urgency is to return as reinforcements!"
"Abandon the hunt, reinforce each of our headquarters, and then consult Wa Huang for a counter-strategy."
"The alliance between the Void Race and the Yin Celestial Son must be dealt with by the three of us together!" The Buddha proposed.
At this point, the Demon Lord said indignantly: "Your Great Burial Heaven Temple has already been burned, your disciples all slain, why rush back?"
The Buddha looked at the Demon Lord coldly and said: "Those Void Race, after destroying my Great Burial Heaven Temple, disappeared without a trace."
"Guess where they are heading now?"
