Chapter 2274 - 2271: Rebel Vermilion Bird, Eternal Immortality
"Where is the Right Envoy of the Vermilion Bird Hall?"
Ye Xuan spoke calmly, his voice spreading throughout the entire Western Heaven Great World.
People looked up in fear, feeling uneasy.
Clearly, the Buddha’s light was shining over the entire Western Heaven Great World, a blessing for the Western Heaven Great World, so why had things changed?
Among the Buddhists, there were fanatic believers who cursed Ye Xuan with anger at that moment.
But the moment they opened their mouths, they turned into flying ash.
Thus, countless brainless fanatic believers all turned into flying ash at that moment.
At the same time.
At the foot of Ling Mountain in the far west of the Western Heaven Great World.
There was an ancient long river.
This river had no name.
But it could cleanse one’s soul.
At this moment.
A barefoot young monk sat cross-legged in the middle of that river.
This monk was bald and barefoot, but on half of his bald head, there was a black totem, as if a ferocious demon’s head was about to burst out from it.
But this long river seemed to contain some power, preventing that ferocious demon’s head from breaking out.
Yet the moment Ye Xuan’s voice rang out, the young monk suddenly opened his eyes.
A terrifying sight; the moment this young monk opened his eyes, that formless demon head seemed to cover half of the young monk’s body, even enveloping half of his face in demonic Qi, making his eye turn an eerie black-gold color.
"Emperor Ye?"
The young monk was bewildered and uncertain.
At this time, Ye Xuan’s actions had already incited the fury of the Western Heaven Great World.
"Benefactor Ye Xuan, you are causing pointless slaughter; I hope you put down the butcher’s knife and immediately achieve Buddhahood!"
A Bodhisattva spoke angrily.
Ye Xuan, upon hearing these words, smiled faintly and said, "Then I would like to ask, how come you Bodhisattvas have lived for so many years and have yet to become Buddhas?"
"Could it be that you cannot lay down the butcher’s knife in your hearts?"
Ye Xuan’s words were utterly unrestrained, spreading across the Western Heaven Great World, falling into the ears of all living beings within the Western Heaven Great World.
At that moment, those who were once devoted believers of Buddhism inexplicably wavered.
Ye Xuan’s remarks instantly made the strong ones from the great Buddhist temples in the Western Heaven Great World look ugly.
"We must stop this person, or Buddhism’s foundation will be destroyed!"
An old Bodhisattva in one of the Seven Great Buddhist Temples said solemnly.
"If the Bodhisattva of Heaven cannot stop this person, a solo effort will surely fail!"
Some were clear-minded, recognizing the current horror of Ye Xuan.
This was an existence that dared to ascend the Heavenly Domain and overturn the Double Emperor Palace.
Even if he had not yet claimed the title of Emperor, his true power was still overwhelmingly daunting.
"Each of the Seven Great Buddhist Temples must dispatch one person to stop him, while the others continue to obstruct the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth from advancing!"
Soon, an ancient Bodhisattva awakened, issuing orders.
"Amitabha!"
The Bodhisattvas from the Seven Great Buddhist Temples pronounced the Buddha’s name.
Boom boom boom ————
In the next moment.
From the Seven Great Buddhist Temples across the Western Heaven Great World, a beam of Buddha’s light shot skyward, pointing directly at Ye Xuan.
Seven vast shafts of Buddha’s light, extremely dazzling.
Any cultivator who stepped into the Saint Realm could witness that terrifying scene.
"Seven Bodhisattvas have emerged..."
Countless Buddhist cultivators were shocked.
This visceral perception was even more astonishing than the all-encompassing Buddha’s light.
Those seven terrifying auras of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, at that moment, merged into one, seemingly transforming into the most fearsome Heavenly Creation Axe in the world, poised to cleave Ye Xuan in two with one swing.
Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing indifferently at the seven Bodhisattvas soaring into the sky.
It seemed he had no intention of taking action.
But at the foot of Ling Mountain, an incredibly terrifying aura surged skyward, its speed completely outpacing the seven Bodhisattvas.
It was a beam of Buddha’s light!
But...
Within that Buddha’s light, a demon’s head roared and howled, carrying a terrifying ferocity!
"What!?"
The moment that aura appeared, the seven Bodhisattvas immediately sensed it, all frowning slightly, with serious expressions.
"From Ling Mountain..."
They sensed the source of that aura came from Ling Mountain.
Since the Seven Great Buddhist Temples had dominated the Western Heaven Great World, Ling Mountain had long become a desolate place.
The gathering of ten thousand Buddhas in the past had long vanished without a trace.
The ancient monk, an Ancient Buddha who had been lured into the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave by the Seven Great Buddhist Temples and the Eighteen Ancient Buddha Temples, hailed from Ling Mountain.
He was a true Buddha.
His existence left all Buddhist temples in the Western Heaven Great World uneasy, hence the war to beguile the Buddha.
Though there was no physical conflict throughout.
For the Western Heaven Great World’s major Buddhist temples, it was extremely unsettling.
Fortunately, that Ancient Buddha was deceived into entering the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave, and they transferred the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave to the Ghost Great World.
Since then, Ling Mountain had become a relic of the past.
That Ling Mountain, reputed to have its Buddha’s light eternally unstoppable, brought sighs.
But at this moment.
An exceptionally terrifying force surged from the foot of Ling Mountain!
The seven Bodhisattvas couldn’t spare more thought, and immediately abandoned their siege of Ye Xuan, turning to confront the Buddha’s light shrouded in demonic Qi!
"What monster dares to be so impudent before us!"
A Bodhisattva glared angrily, and in an instant, billions of Buddha hands emerged from behind him, striking the Buddha’s light with earth-shattering force.
The other Bodhisattvas also displayed their divine abilities in their own ways!
In that moment, infinite Buddha’s light enveloped everything.
Those originally terrified followers, once again prostrated in worship.
Boom!
But the moment the two forces collided, an astounding scene appeared.
The sky dome shattered, and the seven Bodhisattvas were all uncontrollably blown backwards, carving rifts into the void, within which thunder rumbled!
"How is this possible!?"
The seven Bodhisattvas were gravely injured, their expressions filled with horror.
At the same time.
The Seven Great Buddhist Temples and the Eighteen Ancient Buddha Temples were shocked.
Even though they were countering the advance of the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth, they paid close attention to the situation.
But the current resolution was something they had completely not foreseen.
"Could the demon sealed beneath Ling Mountain have appeared?!"
An ancient Bodhisattva’s face changed, revealing an overwhelmingly serious expression.
Rumors said beneath Ling Mountain lay an ancient demon, but no one knew the truth.
Yet the terrifying demonic Qi within that Buddha’s light seemed to corroborate this story perfectly!
This was immensely frightening.
Dong————
At that moment.
The void quaked.
A visible golden ripple spread out.
Followed by the sight of a bald, barefoot young monk in white, ascending the heavens.
As he was illuminated by Buddha’s light, he also seemed to be the master of all demons.
Evil power and bright power appeared simultaneously on his body.
The young monk clasped his hands together, his face devout, but he wasn’t reciting a Buddha Sutra, instead, he said softly: "Reverse the enmity, Vermilion Bird, eternal and immortal..."
Boom!
He spread his hands, thrusting them into the void with a palm each.
In that instant.
The golden bodies of the seven Bodhisattvas were all shattered into pieces!
