“The Primordial Heart Devil?” Yan Zhaoge’s heart shook. He knew that he was too close to the Earth Devil. As a result, when the Primordial Heart Devil made his move, it affected Yan Zhaoge’s state of mind, causing darkness to manifest internally.
He immediately operated his arts and forcefully suppressed his fluctuation of emotions.
Arts like the Heart’s Will Heavenly Scripture and Devilish arts like the Faceless Devilish Scriptures could be used to suppress the looming darkness within one’s own heart. However, Yan Zhaoge refrained from using any of them.
Yan Zhaoge’s mental state seemed to have transformed into a field of chaos. With no precedence, no future, no beginning, and no end, it obliterated all existing lifeforms, causing even his looming darkness to cease from existing.
After forcibly calming his state of mind, Yan Zhaoge’s field of vision returned to normal.
The Primordial Heart Devil’s sudden interference was no accident.
Either he suddenly grew more robust, or something had happened to the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
Feeling the dissipation of the mirror’s lightning, Yan Zhaoge’s heart sank.
With how the situation turned out, even if the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor intended to do something else, he could only do so after the Earth Devil was thoroughly dealt with.
With the ritual going haywire, its effects weakened. The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was most likely fighting against a strong foe and had no way of assisting Yan Zhaoge’s side any longer.
Even if the Primordial Heart Devil himself was fighting against someone else, this was practically his field of expertise. While remaining undetected, his ubiquitous abilities could affect one from all directions.
Due to the Nine Underworlds being attacked by all other forces, the Daoism experts were relieved of their burden. While the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor remained cautious against others, he could still assist Yan Zhaoge’s side.
With how the situation unfolded now, it was apparent that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had to deal with a new foe.
Someone the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had to face seriously was undoubtedly an expert of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
Only, with the way things turned out, Yan Zhaoge’s advantage underwent a downward slope.
Without anything like the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual suppressing the Heart Devil’s attacks, the Heart Devil could directly interfere with Shi Jun and the others, who were brawling against the Earth Devil!
Yan Zhaoge gritted his teeth. His body flicked, and he headed towards the wilted tree’s roots. Then, he transformed into a stream of light, instantly burying himself deep within the root’s clump of radiance.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted with encompassing Devilish qi!
All their previous efforts of suppressing the Earth Devil had flopped, causing the entire area to be contaminated.
There only existed a thin line between succeeding and failing.
If the situation reversed, it wouldn’t be a tug-of-war kind of situation anymore. Instead, the failing side would instantly plummet straight from the skies and sink deep into the abyss.
The Devils seemed like they were turning the tides of battle into their favor with how the situation was now.
The horrifying Devilish intent filled up the entire area, their weight causing others to suffocate from the pressure. Even Yan Zhaoge felt as if he was being forced down into a deep hole.
Ying Yuzhen opened her eyes, and her eyes were only filled with a layer of darkness. The crack by her forehead was gradually recovering while ocher-colored radiance continued flickering from within.
Then, she turned to look at Yan Zhaoge, “We meet once again.”
The tone of her voice belonged to that of the Primordial Heart Devil!
Shi Jun’s body started trembling uncontrollably, with sweat raining down from his forehead.
However, amidst his struggle, his gaze affirmed his resolution and refused to bow down to the Devil.
As if the crack on his forehead was bestowed a life, it continuously warped and moved around. Then, a voice resounded from within, “Greetings, my liege.”
“Ying Yuzhen” smiled and nodded.
Xu Fei aside crossed his legs and sat down, forming hand seals with both of his hands. Just like Shi Jun, his face was filled with sweat as well. However, by forcefully maintaining his state of mind, he managed to draw himself away from being influenced.
“Yan Zhaoge, fancy making a deal with me?” In a calm tone, the Primordial Heart Devil said, “How about escorting the Earth Devil and Zhong Yuan out safely?”
Then, “Ying Yuzhen” looked at Xu Fei and smiled, “If so, I shall guarantee his safety.”
The Earth Devil and Devil Monarch Zhong Yuan would be escaping using the physiques of Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen. Without a doubt, their current self was still far too weak compared to all the Buddhists and Demon Race experts present outside.
While reincarnating was great for them, they still had to undergo the process in a safe environment. Otherwise, if they couldn’t undergo the Spirit Divinity Overflowing Lid and return to their prime in time, only death would await them.
Naturally, such events weren’t desirable for the Primordial Heart Devil and the Earth Devil.
Aside from Yan Zhaoge’s group, the Buddhist and Demon Race factions outside would do anything to send them back to samsara.
Yan Zhaoge looked towards Xu Fei and Shi Jun. While they had a pained expression written on their face, they slowly yet resolutely shook their head.
“I present to you my utmost sincerity…” As the Primordial Heart Devil spoke, his voice paused suddenly.
Yan Zhaoge’s heart shook slightly. Immediately, he sensed that some changes had occurred in the outside world.
The expressions of Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, and others standing by the deck changed drastically.
An overwhelming power appeared by the void’s outskirts. Golden lamps shone, with green lotuses blooming. The majestic chantings of Buddhist scriptures resounded, shaking the entire surrounding universes.
Everyone present, no matter if they were of the Nine Underworlds, Buddhism, or the Demon Race, their actions slowed down.
Because a Buddha, who possessed similar strength as a Daoism’s Grand Heavenly Immortal, had descended upon this plane!
Moreover, the Buddha who descended possessed outstanding strength even among those of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
Even a top-notch Demon Race Small Saint like Fuluo Zi became so inferior and diminutive the instant the Buddha appeared.
Other than the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, who was busy dealing with someone else, another force’s Grand Heavenly Realm expert had interfered with the battle.
Gao Qingxuan and the others immediately felt an ominous feeling and continued the sword’s advancement in an attempt to flee from the Buddha.
However, the Buddha light as clear and as pellucid as a crystalline glaze came enveloping towards the vessel!
The radiance seemed to be ubiquitous, omnipresent, exceeding even the concept of time and space.
No matter how fast the dark-red sword moved, it was still struck by the Buddha light!
As if a vast hand descended from the skies and came crashing down on the dark-red sword-light.
With violent turbulence, the dark-red light stream was instantly shattered apart!
The instant the attack came in contact with the sword-light, their vision became blurred.
Then, a Golden Body Buddha emerged, sitting atop a green lotus. He possessed twenty heads and eighteen arms, with each arm holding a necklace, an umbrella cap, a vase, fish intestines, a vajra, treasured filer, golden bell, golden bow, silver halberd, banner, and many others. Brilliances shone from his head, manifesting golden mackerel clouds. Atop the golden clouds was a lamp, with a sarira placed within.
“Victorious Fighting Buddha!” said Feng Yunsheng with a comp
lex tone.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1450 - Sending the Maiden to the West
Someone of the Grand Heavenly Realm exists eternally along with space itself.
That was why there was this saying, “Heavenly Immortal’s Grand Physique, An Everlasting and Unbounded Existence.”
So many subtle marvellousness were contained within.
There were other famous sayings like “cultivating together with the world” or “remaining extant as long as the word prevails.” For those beneath the Grand Heavenly Realm, most Grand Heavenly Immortals seemed to be ubiquitous existences. They seemed to fathom that Grand Heavenly Immortals could jump through the passage of time, painting them with a shade of obscureness.
Which was why there’s the saying, “Escaping the cycle of samsara, escaping the restraints of mortal affairs.”
With the Dao Realm bigwigs keeping the Grand Heavenly Realm experts in check, most of their marvellousness would only be displayed occasionally.
Being in the Dao Realm, one would become Dao itself. Meanwhile, someone of the Grand Heavenly Realm would be an existence closest to the Dao itself.
Under certain circumstances, they could even be equal to the Dao or even surpass the Dao, producing various other instructable wonders incomprehensible by others.
However, as a result, they would be significantly affected by the Dao. Or, one could even say that they suffered much greater restraint from the Dao.
The profundities contained within were beyond profound.
Just like how Grand Virtual Realm experts could cancel out each other’s sonorous voice of the great dao.
If Grand Heavenly Realm experts fought against each other, they would be capable of canceling out each other’s instructable wonders.
For example, profundities exceeded the concept of space.
The main reason why many others feared the Demon Race Great Sage – the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles was that he was extremely close to being a ubiquitous existence among all other Grand Heavenly Realm experts. It was as if he resided by all sorts of instructable wonders of creation.
As such, based on one’s intuition, he seemed far “faster” than a majority of other Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
The Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles aside, many other top-notch bigwigs had their field of expertise, which made them far stronger than other Grand Heavenly Realm experts in a specific area. As a result, they seemed jarringly stronger, becoming legendary figures who left glamorous tales to be told.
For example, the prestigious Peacock Great Sage – Kong Xuan, whose name was well renowned during the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era. With his Five-Colored Divine Radiance, he prevailed as a sanctimonious existence during that era. Even when fighting against other Grand Heavenly Realm opponents, one move was sufficient in overpowering his opponents.
When accounting in all the experts since the dawn of time, when comparing each others’ cultivation, old Peacock’s cultivation would be listed among the top three ranks. Of course, those of the Dao Realm wouldn’t be included among the rankings.
It was merely the comparison between Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
Under most circumstances, those beneath the Grand Heavenly Realm wouldn’t dare look, speak of, describe, or fathom those in the Grand Heavenly Realm.
When someone of the Grand Heavenly Realm descends, ordinary people would only witness a queer phenomenon blotting the skies and were incapable of making out the expert’s true appearance.
When the Water Devil was undergoing reincarnation, and the Devil Lord descended, he manifested a devilish domain that resembled the Nine Underworlds itself.
When the Nine-Headed Bug arrived, the entire skies cracked, with white lights shining everywhere.
As Feng Yunsheng fought against them, she lowered their marvelousness to a certain degree and finally made them present themselves, becoming a part of reality.
Now, when the Buddha struck the dark-red sword, everyone on board the vessel finally made out his appearance.
It was the Victorious Fighting Buddha!
Initially, he resided in the central Blessed Lands of Saha. During the Middle era, he joined the Western Pure Lands and secluded himself within. Now, he finally re-emerged along with other Buddhas.
After his appearance, he didn’t waste any time and released another palm strike.
Funnily speaking, the enormous dark-red sword capable of speedily shifting through space and leaving all enemies behind couldn’t even escape the Buddha’s palm attack.
It wasn’t because Gao Qingxuan’s group had “slowed” down.
Instead, he was merely much “faster”!
Or, it should be said that no matter where the giant dark-red sword shifted, the Buddha’s palm seemed to be waiting for them there.
As a result, the definition of speed lost its meaning.
As the two clashed, the dark-red sword-light instantly dissipated.
While Yan Di and the others intended to assist her, all their efforts were to no avail.
The two sides’ disparity in cultivation was far too massive. To a Grand Heavenly Realm’s Immortal Splendour, a Profound Immortal’s Immortal Aura was so insignificant. It was even deemed as negligible.
Among everyone present, only Feng Yunsheng and Ling Qing could assist Gao Qingxuan.
Only, they couldn’t hope to win over the Victorious Fighting Buddha’s mightiness.
Feng Yunsheng decided to temporarily let go of all her worries and only paid attention to the current situation. Blue-black devilish flames instantly arose from her eyes, allowing her to keep the enormous vessel intact.
Only, with this, the flames within her eyes surged rageously, rampaging about with an ice-cold attitude, as if she was gradually losing all sorts of human emotions,
“Namo Amitabha.”
A Buddhist’s chanting resounded within the void, “O’benevolent Buddha, how couldst thee bear to stomach Doomsday’s descent?”
“If you didn’t come here, this wouldn’t have happened,” answered Feng Yunsheng coldly.
The black radiance flashed continuously, with two ethereal flashes of brilliance hanging atop her head.
After the previous battle with the Water Devil, she went all out for far too long. While she wasn’t tired out, her state of mind was close to going haywire.
If she went all-out once more, the devilish intent within her would merely grow even vigorously.
However, if push comes to shove, she wouldn’t hesitate to participate in the battle.
“I am hither to send thee to the West.” The Buddha sitting atop the green lotus remained calm and unfazed, keeping his stern appearance intact.
He widened his arms and clasped them together by the center.
The ceaseless Buddha light transformed into a Womb Realm shining with infinite brilliance, entrapping Feng Yunsheng within.
The Buddhist chantings resounded without stop, yet feelings of joyousness budded within her heart.
Being entrapped within the Womb Realm, her desire to let go of her saber and indulge herself with the tranquility was about to overwhelm her.
While the Victorious Fighting Buddha was attempting to illuminate Feng Yunsheng, he sealed off her potential of challenging the Origin Heavenly Tribulation.
Otherwise, if Feng Yunsheng remained stubborn and ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm right here, the Victorious Fighting Buddha would have no choice but to fight.
Without a doubt, the Victorious Fighting Buddha was strong. However, he was to face the Doomsday Saber of a Grand Heavenly Immortal. Being as strong as he is, he couldn’t possibly predict the outcome of such a battle.
“Oh?” Feng Yunsheng’s heart underwent a tremor.
As her devilish intent grew stronger, she continued being on guard against it, with the reluctance of being controlled by the devilish saber.
Such was her inevitable perseverance and belief as a martial art practitioner.
Yet, such beli
ef was used by the Buddha instead.
Buddhism’s doctrines and devilish intents were originally two opposing concepts, to begin with. Currently, while snatching after Feng Yunsheng, they were rejecting each other’s infestation.
If Feng Yunsheng were to maintain her state of mind, she would have to resist the two’s influences!
However, the two concepts originated from two different individuals with solid foundations, surpassing hers.
Even if she merely wanted to stand aside and watch the two go against each other, she didn’t have the freedom to choose such a luxurious option.
However, the woman in white quickly stabilized her state of mind and resisted the two’s infestations.
Even in the past, when she was merely in the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint Realm, she was already brawling against the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua’s intent.
With so many years of temperament, her soul, filled initially with unswerving determination, was reinforced even further.
Previously, she had to defend the vessel using her devilish intent, which sunk her in such a non-optimal situation.
While keeping her cool, Feng Yunsheng decided to change the course of the battle and drag the Victorious Fighting Buddha into this contest.
Her opponent was of the Grand Heavenly Realm. Astounding strength aside, he was filled with limitless profundities.
But, if you want to illuminate me, you shall only do so after fighting against me on a different battlefield.
In that brand new domain, your advantages shall cease to exist!
“Namo Amitabha.” The Victorious Fighting Buddha instantly sensed the changes, “This maiden is extraordinary, as I wouldst expect.”
As he chanted the Buddhist chantings, the sarira within the golden lamp atop his head suddenly flew out.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1451 - Fall from the Skies to the Chasm, Rise from the Abyss to the Skies
The Victorious Fighting Buddha’s goal was to bring Feng Yunsheng away.
He wasn’t merely going to suppress Feng Yunsheng. At the same time, he intended to cut off Feng Yunsheng’s pathway to challenge the Origin Heavenly Tribulation, just in case she did something unfavorable.
