The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  The man smiled. His face resembled that of a Fallen Demon, even his conscience was disturbed. His eyes were different - one of them mirrored the gold of Tian Dao, while the other mimicked the red of hell.

  He gave Venerable a look from above, the coldness from his lips could turn anything into ice.

  Venerable sighed, "What for? You should know, the one that she likes isn't you," he said calmly. However, it sounded like a blaring alarm by the man's ears.

  A clap of thunder boomed!

  The bell started thundering more frequently as though thousands of soldiers were galloping by on their horses, or as though the sky was pouring with thunder and lightning.

  Nonetheless, nothing shook him more thanVenerable's words.

  The one that she likes isn't you.

  It rang by the Emperor's eardrums. His blood rushed to his head, and immediately he whipped out his mythical ax!

  Bang!

  A corner of the Vajra Bell was destroyed!

  Venerable was shocked as he snapped his head back!

  Monsters and demons rushed out from the broken clock, screeching and howling to their demonic p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e - it was a depiction of hell!

  Buddhism had never encountered a threat as great as that for the thousands of years it had existed.

  For the first time, Venerable who was seated on top of the lotus felt a wave of regret wash over him. If he knew this was going to happen, he would never have caged Phoenix.

  The True Buddha did not belong to anyone yet. He was just a substitute for many years. He thought he had the world in his hands, but he never thought that this would happen.

  Amidst the fog and clouds was the man who grabbed the Venerable's throat without hesitation.

  Venerable glared at him. His voice was hoarse and with difficulty, he forced out a raspy whisper, "If you ruin Buddhism, the Phoenix will not live long."

  The man's fingers jolted, his eyes became cold. "Never would I have thought that Buddhism would end up like this. No wonder the True Buddha has not been chosen yet."

  "Amitabha, problems regarding love are always hard to avoid." Venerable looked dead into the man's eyes. "With expectations come pain when they are unable to obtain what is d.e.s.i.r.ed. If you d.e.s.i.r.e to return to Buddha's gate, you will receive good karma. Unfortunately, Emperor, you were in distress and confusion, you missed Buddha's gate once again. Now, Emperor, it is an invitation for you to enter Buddha's gates if you wish."

  The man smirked, "Who says I failed to obtain it? I know that as a god in Tian Dao, I will never be able to run away from Buddha's sight. However, if I am not a god anymore, I can kill you, and that will not matter."

  Venerable was dumbfounded upon hearing that. The man did not wait for a response.

  Every single person around them transformed into the Dharma of Chaos. There were black feathers everywhere, filling the skies and covering the land. One by one, they pierced through his c.h.e.s.t!

  The hell broke loose. The ground began to tremble and stones started to crack. Fire blazed from the core of the Earth and black feathers zoomed upward, spiraling around the man's legs.

  The man's grin grew wider as the cold wind roared, it was full of viciousness and disdain.

  Venerable would not have thought that he would give up his divine psyche just like that!

  Outside Ninety-ninth Heaven, the Crown Prince of Tian Dao suddenly noticed the chaos. He dropped everything and looked at the sky, dumbfounded. "What…what…what is this—?!"

  Someone wanted to fall from heaven and transform into a demon!!?

  Boom!

  The bell crumbled and copper pieces plummeted, creating deafening sounds of destruction.

  Subsequently, countless black feathers that had aggregated into clumps came from the horizon, all of them targeting Venerable's body!

  Among the thundering and rumbling, the man was laughing uproariously, "If I become a demon, how can Buddha ever deal with me?"

  All of a sudden, the innumerable black feathers tossed and raged, turning into the endless Sea of Blood!

  Every living being from Tian Dao was in treachery. The path in front of them was unclear as if shrouded by mist.

  Without making any move, the man parted with his divine psyche. He leaned backward with a soft smile on his face, his clothes drifting with the wind as he descended into a demon.

  Chapter 845 - Phoenix’s Exit

  Watching the incident unfolded before the eyes of Tian Dao and Buddhism, the expressions on their faces gradually changed.

  The Emperor was born of chaos. In order to prevent him from going to Hell, both Tian Dao and Buddhism had exhausted their minds and finally, they managed to convince him.

  Now, he had abandoned the divine psyche. This meant that there would be an unprecedented Great Demon King in the next Three Paths, or in other words, in Hell!

  At that time, it did not matter if it was Buddhism or Tian Dao since both would be trampled under his feet, unable to turn over a new leaf!

  No way!

  He must not turn into a demon!

  Amidst his fury, Tian Dao sent down 30,000 mythical soldiers, scheming to envelop the Emperor at the initial stage of his fall from Heaven!

  However, no mythical soldier could enter the chaos.

  Three days later, the Emperor finally metamorphosed into a demon in the evening!

  The Sea of ​​Blood welled up in an unfamiliar wave as countless demons cheered and turned into their original forms, surging out from the man's back.

  An innumerable amount of black crows whizzed past in the sky, and the black river beneath the 18 layers of hell seemed to have come to a boil.

  The man simply stood amongst the multitude of demons. One wicked grin cracked across his face could make the Dead Sea seethe.

  This was undoubtedly a catastrophe for Tian Dao and Buddhism.

  The destiny was broken, the demon had broken out of the earth's crust and the beautiful and deadly melodies of the mermaids echoed in the magical realm.

  These 100 years marked the absolute century of disgrace for Tian Dao and Buddhism.

  In order to follow him, many of Tian Dao's people had transformed into their natural selves. Hundreds of demons wandered at night and roamed the heaven and earth freely. Such a majestic view was a rare sighting in the world.

  Buddhism's people began to rejoice the fact that every person who had abandoned the divine psyche would eventually lose their memory of being a God in chaos.

  Otherwise, the Emperor who had transformed into a demon would unquestionably bring forth fellow demons to attack Mountain Tenya to avenge the witch who was held captive!

  However, no matter how fortunate they believed they were, Buddhism was still Buddhism. He was still unable to live with the fact that those demons in the next Three Paths dared to show no respect to them.

  In the course of time, an aura of resentment against the people of the Netherworld began brewing in their hearts.

  However, the Buddha's body of Venerable was already destroyed when the Emperor fell from heaven.

  None of Buddhism's people now could be his opponent.

  Unless…

  "Venerable, for the sake of all living beings under this vast sky, you can no longer let the demons continue wreaking havoc. Someone must go to Mount Buzhou and somebody else ought to clear the Sea of Blood in Hell."

  Honored Sir sat in the twilight, the scar that stretched from his forehead to his chin glistening in the dim light. It seemed more terrifying than the evil spirits in Hell. "For every day the Sea of Blood is not cleared, there is one less day where the True Buddha can be united. For hundreds of years, however, changes would arise continuously after the Sea of Blood is cleared. This time it all happened due to the Magic Paths. The only way to solve it is to allow Phoenix to make another trip to hell. Although there's still a year to go, I have to do so for the sake of the world. Buddha shall be merciful and understanding." Speaking, Honored Sir looked to his left and continued, "Golden Lo
tus, please ring the bell. It's time for the door of Leiyin Temple to reopen."

  "Yes." Golden Lotus turned away to leave and her prayer beads tumbled with heavy Sanskrit.

  Phoenix emerged from the Light of Buddha. Behind it stood the snow-covered Mountain Tenya, the beauty of the legendary Forbidden Land of Buddha that no one could describe with words.

  Still, the most fascinating was unarguably the wanton, lazy figure. It had been a century and the ancient Phoenix ​​still retained her stunning beauty. Especially when she sauntered toward you, that pair of mysterious raven eyes were attractive as ever, as if you would easily get s.u.c.k.e.d within.

  She seemed to have grown even nobler than before, with the silky black hair tumbling off her shoulders immersed in the ice, topped with her pure, snowy white cassock, her fiery cloak, and her ultimate pride and charm.

  As she saw Golden Lotus, the smile on Phoenix's face remained unchanged. She tossed the scriptures in her palms aside without uttering a word.

  Golden Lotus slowly clenched her fists hidden under her long sleeves a couple of times before she put on a gentle smile and trailed behind her.

  Buddhism knew best when it came to presenting a façade of peace and prosperity. Without a mention of the history of this past century, he began to read the scriptures. "Phoenix, the Sea of ​​Blood in Hell has risen again. The True Buddha cannot be united unless Hell is clean. Please go and terminate the extreme evil under the heavens."

  Phoenix did not spout any nonsense. She immediately picked up her scythe and leaped into the demon-filled Mount Buzhou.

  It was just that she had not expected to meet that person in Hell.

  The two exchanged a glance. However, it seemed he did not know her at all and only focused on the witch's face at one side.

  Phoenix was dumbfounded. The thing she cared about was not what his eyes were fixated on.

  To her surprise, his dark-colored eyes morphed into a deep crimson that resembled flowing blood. He emanated a constant enchanting sensation evil like a demon from beginning to end.

  That was the first time Phoenix did not take immediate action. In a moment of absent-mindedness, a cold wind gusted past her ears and evil spirits left their imprints on her arms.

  She frowned and drew her scythe. With a couple of swishes on her weapon, there was no single trace of iniquities to be found within three meters from her.

  He…abandoned the divine psyche?

  Why?

  This was a question Phoenix had always held in her mind.

  He clearly liked to be far removed from the masses and reality, without provoking even the tiniest speck of dust. His basic necessities in life had always been a rare honor in the heavens and earth.

  How could he have transformed into a demon in the Netherworld?

  Amidst their discussion, those demons stated, "The Emperor fell from heaven solely to locate the witch who was held captive by Buddhism amongst the chaos. Unfortunately, things didn't go well. Even so, it doesn't matter as the witch was originally born in the magical realm, and soon enough, the Emperor will be able to reshape her soul."

  As Phoenix listened, her body stiffened in place.

  She thought the suffering would cease.

  After all, it had been 99 years.

  In actual fact, it did not hurt as much as she had anticipated.

  It was just that she was perfectly conscious and it felt as if she suddenly understood everything.

  It turned out that he would still fall for somebody.

  It was just that the one he liked was not her…

  It seemed to be exactly like what people said. True love is not one-sided, and everything must be invested, including your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, and soul.

  The feeling in Phoenix's heart was perplexing. Long ago, she had always been drawn to him as everything this person did was what she longed to do.

  As of now, however, she could not bring herself to admire him anymore.

  At the bottom of Mount Buzhou, Phoenix stared at the silhouette gradually drowning in the darkness of the night. It was the first time she had violated Buddhism.

  It had been a good while but Buddhism still had not received news of Phoenix taking action. Suspicion began to bubble in his veins.

  18 Golden Light Dharma seals descended from heaven, summoning Phoenix back to the mountain.

  The Buddhas asked her with knitted eyebrows, "Why haven't you taken action?"

  Phoenix knelt under the Bodhi tree without muttering a word.

  Golden Lotus walked toward her, sighing with pity and compassion. "Master, why are you doing this? You should know that this person would never look back at the things that he no longer needed. If he still liked you, he would not have fallen from heaven and transformed into a demon. A hundred years may be tedious and interminable for mortals, but it is not difficult for Gods and Buddhas to wait for it. It's just that he has absolutely never thought of waiting for you…"

  As Phoenix listened, she finally lifted her gaze.

  Chapter 846 - Killing Golden Lotus

  Golden Lotus's heart was full of pride.

  However, she never expected the indifference in Phoenix's eyes to be so obvious as if she could read her frenzied thoughts. "It seems that you still haven't slept with him for the 100 years since I left. But what makes me curious is, even after all this time, do you think he even remembers your name?"

  Golden Lotus was stunned into silence.

  Phoenix's lips slowly curved into a gentle smile.

  Golden Lotus bit her thin lips, then shook her head and let out a sigh. "Since you do not want to clear the Sea of ​​Blood, there is still another option. The gift from the Eastern Sea has arrived. If you are willing to marry, you can stabilize the situation."

  "I will not get married."

  These two words stirred all the Buddhas' anger.

  Golden Lotus prepared to speak and inhaled a large mouthful of cold air. "Master, are you going to violate the Buddha's order?"

  As Golden Lotus finished her words, the Sanskrit resounded and sent echoes throughout Mountain Tenya. Each word punctuated the question she directed toward Phoenix.

  The Buddhas did not bother to stop Golden Lotus, their top priority was to uphold Buddhism.

  The Buddhas held their tongue, it was better for them to remain silent sometimes since the Phoenix's Buddha seat was still in place. However, the situation was different now, it would be a sin if the Phoenix violated the command of Buddha. She would be subjected to waves of violent Thunder Tribulation.

  The opportunity Golden Lotus had waited for had finally arrived, she seized the chance to suggest that Phoenix should marry.

  Since she could not deal with this woman, let Heaven punish her instead!

  That was the only fear of the ancient Phoenix!

  Golden Lotus had already predicted that Phoenix would not refuse, however to her surprise, she did.

  The woman who had never paid her any respect dared not speak again.

  Golden Lotus' mouth formed a gradual smile. "Master, you have always been intelligent. Since you have decided to get married, let the people around you begin the arrangements. I will personally help to prepare your marriage gown."

  Once these words left her mouth, Golden Lotus prepared to turn around and leave.

  However, in the next second, an indolent drawl reached her ears, "What about obeying the Buddha's order?"

  Golden Lotus whipped her head around and saw Phoenix raising her eyebrows at her, her expression was full of mockery.

  Golden Lotus clenched her fist. "Master, you should know better than anyone about the consequences of violating the Buddha's order. Even if you managed to escape Heavenly Tribulation, your destiny will accompany you throughout your existence, so it is inevitable. You will eventually have to obey Buddha's order and marry the Eastern Sea."

  "Oh, you've reminded me of something." Phoenix's lips lifted into a smile yet her face remained indifferent.

  G
olden Lotus looked at her in puzzlement.

  Even the other Buddhas looked curiously at Phoenix.

  In a flash, Phoenix held out her scythe and impaled her left shoulder!

  Then, she proceeded to dig out every last Dharma Bone in her body through all the blood and gore!

  When did she start to have such thoughts...

  Despite being the center of attention, Phoenix simply gave a faint smile. Determination fueled the force behind her fingers. "As an immortal bird, I will be reborn even after millions of tribulations. Since this fate is fixed by Buddhism, then I will simply break my connection with this Buddha fate!"

  Boom!

  It seemed like something had collapsed from a corner of Mountain Tenya.

  In the Leiyin Temple, the statue of the Great Lord of the Buddhas shattered.

  At this moment, time slowed down, the seconds lagged by and fresh blood spurted from Phoenix's shoulders as violent and unstoppable like a blazing flame, it made a beeline directly for the Buddhas!

  In an instant, Golden Lotus' complexion turned deathly pale!

  Every Buddha knew that once the ancient Phoenix lashed out, there would be numerous injuries left in her wake.

  However, they had never seen Phoenix act out in such an extreme manner, she was so indomitable!

  "Previously, I was able to withstand a battle against a Buddha's body. Now, if I can decimate the Buddha, I will never be the undertaker for the Buddhas again." All of Phoenix's fingers had been crushed, and blood dripped continuously from her arm toward the Buddha's gate. She brandished her scythe and strode forward.

  Golden Lotus was flung a few meters away and crashed violently to the ground. She oozed out the fresh metallic taste of blood in her mouth, "Phoenix, d-do you even know what you are doing?"

  "Of course, I know, aren't I killing Buddha?" Phoenix looked at her haughtily from above and gave a smile, "You are the one that does not understand, I've told you before that I would end you with a single strike if you appeared in front of me again."

  The unprecedented murderous aura that radiated from her made Golden Lotus retreat with difficulty. At this time, she could care less about her image, because she knew that if Phoenix was truly serious, she would be no match against her.
