Chapter 2504 - 2502: Western Direction Under New Rule
Emperor Shi Tian looked shocked, surprised that Long Fei had the ability to enclose Mosquito Daoist within the formation.
One should know that Mosquito Daoist possesses the Primordial Bloodline, having survived numerous calamities and still lively.
Pinned to the ground by Long Fei, he struggled desperately, his head dented inward from the impact.
Long Fei, in his Witch Race Body, looked at him with a disdainful smile and said, "Is this your skill? Is the Asura Clan’s body so easily defeated?"
Back when the Witch Tribe dominated the world, the Asura Clan hid in the Netherworld like mice.
This Witch Tribe Bloodline’s disdain for Emperor Shi Tian was intrinsic.
Emperor Shi Tian felt deeply insulted, his Blood Qi suddenly igniting.
The force around him immediately surged more than tenfold, flipping onto the ground like a wild bull charging at Long Fei.
Long Fei raised his hand, striking his head with a loud bang, forcibly resisting his charge.
The massive force caused the Void to shudder.
With one hand shaped like a blade, he wielded the power to tear through space, slicing towards Emperor Shi Tian’s neck.
Emperor Shi Tian reacted quickly, hastily raising his arms to defend.
Crack, crack, two dull sounds.
His arms snapped, severed by Long Fei’s hand blade.
Emperor Shi Tian let out a miserable scream as his abdomen took another kick, sending him flying.
His internal organs churned, and from this kick, he suffered internal injuries, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.
He wondered what chance Long Fei had encountered, his body suddenly becoming so overwhelmingly powerful.
Turning his head, he prepared to flee upon landing.
Who knew he’d roll on the ground without getting up?
Long Fei kicked down from the air, pinning him underfoot once more.
The mountain rocks on the ground exploded, dust surging in all directions.
Emperor Shi Tian lay dead-like on the ground, screaming at the top of his lungs, "I refuse to accept this! Our Asura Clan body is ranked first in the Three Realms, how can it be so easily defeated?"
Long Fei remarked indifferently, "The Asura Clan originated from the Old Ancestor Nether River, merely a transformation from Pangu’s impure blood. In front of the Witch Tribe, you’re just trash not even worth considering."
With one hand gripping a knife seal, wrapped in black Power of Laws, he asked Emperor Shi Tian, "Any last words you’d like me to pass to Old Ancestor Nether River or the Western Buddha Ancestor?"
For the first time, Emperor Shi Tian felt immense death approaching, his spirit trembling as he said, "You can’t kill me; I assist the Buddha of the East. If you kill me, he won’t spare you. Besides, I’m embedded in the Buddhist Sect by Old Ancestor Nether River. You risk sabotaging the ancestor’s grand plans; he would surely pulverize you."
Long Fei sneered, "To think that the head of the Buddhist Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions is someone as gutless as you."
He raised his hand holding the blade, slashing down towards Emperor Shi Tian’s head.
A crisp snap echoed, Emperor Shi Tian’s massive head rolled aside like a ball, body parted from head.
Asura Clan’s bloodline allows for resurrection from a single drop of blood.
Long Fei denied Emperor Shi Tian this chance, unleashing Samadhi True Fire onto his corpse, completely incinerating him to ashes.
On the azure Lotus Dais, Wang Xiaoya opened her eyes, astonished at the scene before her, approached Long Fei, unbelieving, and said, "Is he dead?"
"Strictly speaking, not yet!"
Long Fei reverted to his true form, sitting next to Wang Xiaoya on the Lotus Dais.
Curiously, Wang Xiaoya asked, "What do you mean?"
Long Fei explained to her, "Although Emperor Shi Tian is dead, his Buddhist Body remains. There may be a chance to encounter him again and sever the Buddhist Body."
"I’m a bit confused!"
Wang Xiaoya was at a loss.
Long Fei chuckled, patting her head, "No need to understand now. When you reach this level, it’ll be clear. It involves the Daoist Sect’s corpse-severing technique; Emperor Shi Tian is merely an evil corpse."
Wang Xiaoya nodded, gazing at the sky, said to Long Fei with lingering fear, "I nearly couldn’t hold on earlier, but a thunderbolt suddenly struck down from the sky at the critical moment and helped me. Do you think it’s a coincidence, or someone secretly aided me?"
"An old acquaintance; you’ll meet them eventually!"
Long Fei recognized the benefactor but chose not to reveal to Wang Xiaoya.
She glared at him, pondering what couldn’t be disclosed?
In the Western Pure Lands of Potaraka, Anan returned with a severed arm, pleading before the Patriarch Buddha, "Mercy, Patriarch Buddha. I failed the task; please punish me."
He initially held deep resentment towards Emperor Shi Tian but restrained his anger upon entering the grand hall.
Tathagata Buddha’s expression remained calm as he said, "All is destiny; it’s not your fault."
He raised a hand, casting a golden light onto Anan’s right arm, which swiftly regenerated, visible to the naked eye.
"Thank you, Patriarch Buddha."
Anan joined his hands in reverence, puzzled, and asked Prince Buddha, "Patriarch Buddha, what’s in that cave dwelling? Why is it tied to our Buddhist Sect’s fate?"
Buddha replied, "A being born from a killing calamity."
"A person?"
Anan exclaimed, "Why not send someone to capture him directly?"
Tathagata said, "There’s no chance now; he’s gained the cave dwelling’s fortune and his momentum is overwhelming."
Anan furrowed his brow, "I failed the task, jeopardizing our Buddhist Sect’s great venture."
As Tathagata explained, "You’ve done your best, no need for self-reproach. Go issue my edict, inform all Bodhisattvas, Venerables, and Arhats. I am about to enter seclusion. From now on, all Buddhist matters will be managed by the Buddha of the East."
"What?"
Anan was stunned, and nearby Kasyapa joined his hands in inquiry, "Patriarch Buddha, why?"
Tathagata answered, "It’s a promise with the Sage of the Sect of Severance, which must be fulfilled. You shall merely convey the edict, no longer serve by my side. Go to the Maitreya Pure Land, fully assist to help the Buddhist Sect through this calamity."
Sharing a look, Anan and Kasyapa saw Tathagata’s determination and asked no further, only offered final salutations as they departed.
Soon after, the bells of the Maitreya Pure Land rang out, Buddhist chants resonating, golden rays spreading, and Buddha Light soaring to the heavens.
Emperor Shi Tian’s Buddha led the division of Heavenly Dragon Eight to descend upon this realm, followed by various Bodhisattvas, Venerables, and Arhats arriving.
Maitreya Buddha sat smiling within the grand hall, lecturing the assembly, "Shijia has entered nirvana, Maitreya ascends to the heavens. It is predetermined and unchangeable. Now, let Maitreya Pure Land govern the Western Heaven. Bodhisattvas, Venerables, Vajras, Arhats, perform your duties diligently."
"Well!"
All Bodhisattvas joined their hands in reverence, solemnly bowing towards Maitreya Buddha.
On Jade Isle, Long Fei observed the erupting golden light from Western Cow Hee Continent, a faint smile appearing, "I see, this Buddha of the East truly has clever means."
Before him hovered a formation diagram.
From within the diagram, Mosquito Daoist’s angry voice sounded, "You brat, what nonsense are you babbling, hurry up and let me out."
Long Fei responded, "I can release you, but you must do something for me. If you agree, I’ll set you free immediately. Otherwise, this diagram will be a perfect retirement place. Inside, you might even safely survive this assassination calamity."
Mosquito Daoist remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What thing?"
Long Fei answered, "Help me protect someone completely. Eighteen years later, you will regain your freedom."
"Eighteen years?"
Mosquito Daoist cursed furiously, "You might as well keep me locked up, I don’t believe you can imprison me forever."
Long Fei stated, "Can’t you see by now you are merely a pawn in the Western shift? Emperor Shi Tian’s evil corpse is dead, and the Buddha of the East already controls Western Heaven. To him, you are worthless. Don’t expect him to help you out; you have only the path I mentioned."
