Free Web NovelChapter 651: Chapter 622: The White-Robed Monk
The slaughter on the Path to Immortality is not something other cultivators can interfere in.
Now, many experts of the Cyan Yang Divine Court were guarding each star system, blocking all Upper Realm experts within the star system where the Path to Immortality lay, not allowing them to take even a single step out.
"I wonder what the battle inside the Path to Immortality is like now!"
In a certain Star Ancient City, the Cyan Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as if it could pierce billions of miles of void and see the scenes of other star systems.
There.
There was an ancient road of the starry sky running through the heavens.
A terrifying to the extreme pressure was diffusing out from that ancient road in the starry sky.
This fluctuation of pressure was the power erupted by many Saint Immortal Kings and Harmonization Immortal Venerables.
In the Cyan Emperor’s view, the main battlefield between the Cyan Yang Divine Court and the Upper Realm was within the Path to Immortality.
It was just a pity.
Although his current strength had stepped into the level of a Quasi-Immortal King, compared to a true Saint Immortal King, there was still not a small gap.
If he could not even deal with a Saint Immortal King, there was no need to mention a Harmonization Immortal Venerable.
"The Cyan Yang Divine Court is still too weak now!"
The Cyan Emperor sighed.
If the Cyan Yang Divine Court were strong enough, why would Gu Qingyang have to fight alone, intercepting so many Upper Realm experts.
The other party was doing so to win time for the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
It was just a pity.
The breakthrough from Quasi-Immortal King to Immortal King is not something that can be achieved by the accumulation of time alone; it also hinges on fortune and opportunity.
How many powerhouses in the Upper Realm have stayed at the fifteenth step for billions of years without ever proving the Immortal King Realm—at the root, it is because of this.
At this moment.
The Communication Jade Talisman in the Cyan Emperor’s hand trembled slightly; as Immortal Power poured into it, an almost solid image suddenly appeared.
The person in the image was Ji Xuan.
"According to accurate reports, the master of the Great Leiyin Temple, Shakyamuni Buddha, has already left seclusion and intends to descend from the Upper Realm. His strength, among Semi-Saints, is at the pinnacle; he has once suppressed many Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings, his battle power reaching to the heavens.
We must trouble Daoist Friend Cyan Emperor to come forward and intercept this person; afterwards, other experts of the Divine Court will rush over to assist."
"Very well."
The Cyan Emperor nodded slightly.
The master of the Great Leiyin Temple, Shakyamuni Buddha.
Upon hearing this name and the other party’s battle record, there was not much fear in the Cyan Emperor’s heart; instead, battle intent surged forth.
If one wishes to prove the Immortal King, only through life-and-death slaughter can there be a chance.
The slaughter within the Divine Kingdom simulations is ultimately somewhat lacking; after all, without a true life-and-death crisis, how can one experience that pressure born from the edge of life and death.
At this moment.
Behind the Cyan Emperor, the current Patriarch of the Qing Family, Qing Yuan, wore an incomparably solemn expression.
"Old Ancestor, according to that Elder Ji, the master of the Great Leiyin Temple who is about to arrive is by no means a simple character—"
The Qing Family was now a top-tier clan of the Cyan Yang Divine Court; the fundamental reason for this was that they had the Cyan Emperor as their Old Ancestor sitting in town.
Without the Cyan Emperor, the Qing Family could only be considered an ordinary clan.
Upon learning of the might of the master of the Great Leiyin Temple, Qing Yuan also felt some worry in his heart; if anything were to happen to the Cyan Emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable.
To this.
The Cyan Emperor’s expression remained indifferent: "Since the Upper Realm invasion began, how many cultivators of the Cyan Yang Divine Court have fallen one after another on this battlefield.
Even among the disciples of my Qing Family, many have fallen.
I, as the Old Ancestor of the Qing Family, how could I fear a battle.
Moreover, even if that master of the Great Leiyin Temple is stronger, I still have confidence in dealing with him. Taking a step back, even if I am defeated, it is nothing more than my body perishing and my Dao disappearing.
If others can sacrifice themselves, could it be that I cannot?"
The Cyan Emperor’s words rendered Qing Yuan somewhat silent.
Afterwards.
The Cyan Emperor spoke again: "If I shrink from battle today, others will shrink from battle tomorrow. If everyone shrinks from battle, on what basis can the Cyan Yang Divine Court resist the Upper Realm invasion.
Once the front line collapses, the fate awaiting the billions of cultivators of the Cyan Yang Divine Court will be nothing but annihilation.
At that time, how could my Qing Family possibly be spared."
Under a toppled nest, no egg remains intact.
Such reasoning, the Cyan Emperor understood, and Qing Yuan likewise understood.
Thus.
When the Cyan Emperor finished speaking, Qing Yuan took a deep breath and said with a face full of guilt, "Old Ancestor’s lesson is right; this junior’s words were shortsighted!"
"In the coming battle with the master of the Great Leiyin Temple, I will personally take the field; you need only lead the disciples of the Qing Family to guard this place, and do not allow other Upper Realm Cultivators to break through the defensive line.
If I truly fall in battle, you may arrange for a portion of the Qing Family’s cultivators to temporarily withdraw to Cyan Cloud State, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties."
In the end.
The Cyan Emperor added another sentence.
He could die in battle, but the people of the Qing Family could not all die here.
Just as Qing Yuan was about to say something, within the Path to Immortality, a terrifying abyss-like aura suddenly erupted; boundless Buddha light shot straight into the Ninth Heaven, as if a Buddha phantom as vast as a star system were being gestated.
This incomparably powerful force caused the experts guarding each star system to have their hearts shaken.
"He has arrived!"
Battle intent soared in the Cyan Emperor’s eyes. Although the master of the Great Leiyin Temple had not truly appeared yet, this spreading momentum already allowed him to sense the opponent’s might.
This was an unprecedented sense of oppression.
It also made the Cyan Emperor understand why the other could sweep horizontally across the Three Thousand Cosmos with few able to oppose him.
At once.
The Cyan Emperor took a single step, shattering the void, heading toward the direction of the Path to Immortality.
On the other side.
Within the Immortal City.
The experts of various Upper Realm factions all looked in shock at the endless golden radiance and Buddha phantom; many Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings felt their hearts violently shaken.
"This aura means that the one from the Great Leiyin Temple has arrived!"
"Shakyamuni Buddha!"
In the minds of these Upper Realm experts appeared a single towering figure, an unsurpassed existence who once proclaimed, "Above heaven and below earth, only I am supreme."
If there is anyone who can be called the supreme powerhouse below the Saint Immortal King, it would be none other than this one.
Looking across the Three Thousand Cosmos.
Those who could truly rival him in strength were few and far between.
One must know.
Even though Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings are rare, given the vastness of a single cosmos, there will always be a number of experts who can step into such realms.
Looking again at the Three Thousand Cosmos, the number of experts who have stepped into Semi-Saint and Quasi-Immortal King is even greater.
To be able to claim supremacy among so many experts—his strength can well be imagined.
At the first moment.
The cultivator who had originally come on behalf of the Great Leiyin Temple immediately stepped out of the Immortal City, arrived before the Path to Immortality, joined his palms, and bowed respectfully toward the Buddha phantom.
"Amitabha Buddha, we respectfully invite our Buddha to descend!"
Led by Miaoyin Bodhisattva, the group of experts from the Great Leiyin Temple all spoke in unison.
At the moment their voices fell, all golden light and Buddha phantoms vanished; only a white-robed monk slowly walked out from the Path to Immortality. He was barefoot like jade, lotus blooming beneath each step; behind his head, merit’s golden light shone upon heaven and earth, and the supreme Great Dao accompanied him.
Every word and every action.
All seemed in harmony with heaven and earth.
Upon seeing his appearance, many experts of various factions could no longer remain seated; they could only walk out of the Immortal City and bow respectfully to that white-robed monk.
"We have seen Shakyamuni Buddha!"
