NOVPUB"Go!"
Knowing that hiding here would definitely get him slapped to death by the opponent, Zhang Xuan dared not hesitate. He quickly dashed back to the place where he had just been hiding.
He had just left when the space collapsed, and the burning Ancient Bodhi Tree was seized by a giant hand. At the same time, the distinct and angular face of Buddha emerged mid-air.
"Is this... the Ghost Orchid Butterfly Spirit?"
Extinguishing the inferno, just as he intended to use Karma Destiny to locate Zhang Xuan’s hiding place, his eyes suddenly fell on the vibrant, soul treasure about to mature.
His main focus wasn’t the soul, so, even as the founder of the Buddhist Sect, this artifact had an immense allure for him!
"This is... the best artifact to condense an Eternal Divine Soul..."
A wave of emotion flickered in his eyes.
Since there’s the Eternal Close, naturally there’s also the Eternal Divine Soul.
Achieving this realm, the soul is flawless and immaculate, perfect to the extreme. Currently, in the Source World, only one person has done it, and that’s the master of Divine Heavenly Destiny, Shen Wuyue from Taixu Divine Palace!
No wonder Feng Yuanping and the Soul Evil Demon Emperor fought desperately to snatch it; it all came down to this artifact!
Obtaining this item, even sacrificing dozens of Bodhi fruits or a few Bodhisattvas would be worth it.
"With the artifact to condense the Eternal Divine Soul, coupled with the Eternal Heart, once I obtain it, the Buddhist Sect will inevitably become the foremost sect in the Source World, and even Emperor Fusheng won’t be able to stop us!"
Filled with infinite grandeur, Buddha couldn’t be bothered with looking for Zhang Xuan anymore. His silhouette wavered, forcing his way from the outside directly towards the Ghost Orchid Butterfly Spirit.
The Ten Directions Demon Realm is the Demon Lord’s turf, much like how Sumeru Mountain is his turf, where the Demon Lord possesses even greater cultivation and strength.
Therefore, although he came in to reclaim the Bodhi Fruit and catch Zhang Xuan earlier, he had only entered halfway, ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
Now, for this artifact, he couldn’t care less about the danger. Without fully charging in, it would be impossible to gain any advantage from Feng Yuanping and the Soul Evil Demon Emperor.
"Baldie, this thing belongs to us!"
Seeing him seize it, Feng Yuanping and the Soul Evil Demon Emperor, two major experts who were fiercely fighting each other, set aside their differences and joined forces against him.
The collision of power from the three great experts immediately shattered the surrounding space like a web, turning the ground and mountains into dust.
Fortunately, fearing damage to the Ghost Orchid Butterfly Spirit, they controlled their Strength, or else the entire mountain would disappear into smoke, and Zhang Xuan would be exposed, unable to hide further.
"You two think you can stop me?"
With a cold snort, Buddha’s Zen Robe fluttered, gently vibrating. A string of Prayer Beads flew out, growing abruptly large in mid-air, resembling a series of falling planets.
The Soul Evil Demon Emperor dared not slack, quickly raising both hands. Still far from the Prayer Beads in mid-air, he felt his body stiffen, his throat ache, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"And you!"
After defeating the Soul Evil Demon Emperor in one move, Buddha raised his left hand, making a Flower Picking Finger gesture towards Feng Yuanping.
"Flower Picking Finger?"
Knowing the move seemed slight but was actually immensely powerful, Feng Yuanping dared not delay. With a flick of his wrist, a golden cap appeared in his palm and, in an instant, he put it on his head.
The Nine Nether Soul Crown, one of the Soul Division’s strongest treasures!
Carved from the skull of the first Hall Master of the Soul Division, inscribed with the Soul-devouring Spell, its power is infinite. As it’s displayed, layers of swirling soul energy manifest in the sky like clouds, like the ocean returning to ruins, an awe-inspiring sight.
"Break!"
Buddha, expressionless, gently lowered the Flower Picking Finger.
Crash!
Like a bullet piercing through cotton candy, the powerful Mystical Abyss created with the Nine Nether Soul Crown by Feng Yuanping, despite its strength, could not resist at all and immediately developed a giant hole.
Spit!
Feng Yuanping spat a mouthful of blood.
As the Hall Master of the Soul Division, a super expert at the Bodhisattva Realm, and the Soul Evil Demon Emperor, one of the four top experts under the Demon Lord, both stood at the pinnacle of power. By logic, they should easily sweep across the world together, yet they couldn’t withstand even two moves from Buddha.
"So... strong?"
Zhang Xuan was so shocked he couldn’t speak.
Forget Buddha, even if Feng Yuanping attacked, he could only flee, not even a match for half a move.
It seems that previously snatching the Bodhi Saint Tree from Sumeru Mountain and escaping successfully wasn’t due to Prince Yuanqing’s obstruction or a stroke of luck, but... this guy actually showed mercy.
"Amitabha, a soul treasure like the Ghost Orchid Butterfly Spirit has a destiny with my Buddha, and belongs to our Buddhist Sect..."
Defeating two major experts in two moves, Buddha’s eyes flashed with excitement. With a deep Buddhist chant, he reached straight for the nearby fruit.
Once obtained, there’s a chance to cultivate the Eternal Divine Soul, thus truly standing at the peak of all heavens.
"Shakyamuni Buddha, barging into my Ten Directions Demon Realm to steal my stuff, isn’t that disregarding me too much?"
At this moment, a faint voice sounded, and a massive crack appeared in the pitch-black Ten Directions Demon Realm. Immediately, a silver-haired, black-robed middle-aged man appeared suddenly.
Before the figure arrived, a special ten-sided jade token materialized, lightly pressing down in mid-air, forcing Buddha’s hand reaching for the Ghost Orchid Butterfly Spirit to halt, unable to advance an inch further.
Demon Clan’s treasure, Ten Directions Demon Seal!
Its effect in the Ten Directions Demon Realm is comparable to Emperor Fusheng’s Seal of the Country; once invoked, it’s absolutely invincible.
"Demon Lord?"
Buddha’s pupils shrank, and his expression turned grave.
He had thought of concluding the battle swiftly and leaving with the medicinal materials, not expecting the Demon Lord to appear at a critical moment.
The opponent’s Strength itself was similar to his own. Now being in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, overcoming him would be difficult.
"I plead with the Emperor to intervene!"
Knowing that from the last incident, Emperor Fusheng owed him a favor, at this moment, he could rely on him to intervene from afar. Buddha did not hesitate, sending out his intent with a low call.
Boom!
As his words finished, the sky above the Ten Directions Demon Realm collapsed like glass shattering, without any hindrance.
"You... a dignified Buddha, so shamelessly aligning with Emperor Fusheng..."
The Demon Lord’s expression changed immediately.
An individual Buddha, he might not fear; but an intervention from Emperor Fusheng, one of the ultimate figures holding a First Level Destiny in the Source World, even in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, he wouldn’t be able to withstand!
Knowing that failure to resist might result in the entire Ten Directions Demon Realm being shattered with a palm, the Demon Lord roared, his wrist flicking again.
Crash!
The Ten Directions Demon Seal once again shot into the sky, forming a vast barrier to oppose the force crashing down from above.
If it withstands, the Ten Directions Demon Realm will be sunny, with bright skies for miles.
If not, it will collapse into chaos, countless living beings consumed by Origin qi, turning into the most primal Strength.
The battle had reached a critical juncture. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
