Free Web NovelChapter 653: Chapter 624: I Have Indeed Underestimated the People of the World!
"The strength of the master of the Great Leiyin Temple is indeed extraordinary. Even Gu Fang and Aoba together couldn’t suppress him. In a one-on-one fight, I’m afraid no one in the Cyan Yang Divine Court could stand against him!"
Gu Fang watched the battle within the Immortal Realm, his expression extremely grave.
Immortal Realm!
It is the name of the star system where the Path to Immortality is located.
It is the entrance to the Upper Realm, where numerous strong individuals have established Immortal Cities, thus this star system is named Immortal Realm.
Watching the battle within the Immortal Realm, Gu Fang also wished to intervene, but he couldn’t do so.
After all.
His duty is to guard this particular star system, ensuring that Upper Realm powers do not leave the Immortal Realm.
If his impulsiveness causes the defense line to fail, it will easily allow the Upper Realm forces to exploit the vulnerability.
After all.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court has now unified the entire Cosmic Starry Sky, but not all beings from every star system have joined the Cyan Yang Divine Realm; many distant star systems still survive as subjects subordinate to the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
If these Upper Realm powers are allowed to step into those star systems, it will inevitably result in a bloody massacre.
Another point is.
Because the Upper Realm powers are immensely strong, their destructive force is also astonishing.
As the foundation, the Cyan Yang Divine Realm must not be allowed to be destroyed by the Upper Realm powers.
Therefore.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court has set up layers of defenses to ensure the stability of the rear.
If the battlefield were to move from the Immortal Realm to the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, even a victory would be a Pyrrhic one.
Guarding the star system’s defense line is a top priority.
Currently, the strong individuals guarding other star systems are also witnessing this battle firsthand, but like Gu Fang, they haven’t truly intervened.
Of course.
This is under one condition.
As long as other Upper Realm forces do not interfere, the Cyan Yang Divine Court naturally will not intervene, but if the Upper Realm forces take the first step to break the stalemate, the Cyan Yang Divine Court cannot merely sit and wait.
Once that happens, the relatively stable situation will descend into chaos again, and both sides will certainly erupt into a shocking war.
This is something.
That the Upper Realm does not wish to see.
Nor does the Cyan Yang Divine Court wish to see.
For the Upper Realm, the strength the Cyan Yang Divine Court now exhibits is akin to a tough bone to gnaw, and if they once again rip apart the facade and destroy the slight existing peace, even if they can annihilate the Cyan Yang Divine Court, they will suffer significant loss of Primordial Energy.
No war comes without casualties.
Yet no one hopes to be the one that perishes.
After all, this campaign against the Lower Realm is merely to seize opportunities.
If one dies.
Then even if the opportunity is seized, it would be meaningless.
On the other hand.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court also does not hope for war.
Currently, the Cyan Yang Divine Court appears strong outwardly but is weak within. If they tear apart the facade, it will be difficult to withstand the Upper Realm’s offensive.
Therefore.
If there’s a way to avoid war, then do so.
If it wasn’t for the Great Leiyin Temple preparing to act against the Cyan Yang Divine Court, the latter would not dispatch strong individuals to intercept.
The reason for doing so is to keep the battle within the Immortal Realm, preventing others from discovering the weaknesses of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Now.
The outbreak of this battle depends on whether Cyan Emperor and Aoba can withstand the pressure from Shakyamuni Buddha.
If they cannot, once the two are defeated and killed, the Great Leiyin Temple will certainly act, and other Upper Realm factions will not stand by.
At that time.
War will inevitably begin anew.
On the contrary.
If they can hold off against Shakyamuni Buddha, then the problem is not significant.
Given the reputation of the master of the Great Leiyin Temple in the Upper Realm, if even this figure cannot suppress Aoba and Cyan Emperor, other Upper Realm forces will also be cautious, and will not incite trouble in the short term.
At most.
They will silently continue to drain the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s strength as per usual.
"Boom!"
"Boom!!"
Within the Immortal Realm, terrifying forces wreak havoc.
Aoba is like a world-shaking Sword Immortal, the substantial Sword Intent shakes the entire Immortal Realm, and Sword Qi transforms in the void into clusters of green lotus, exuding an aura of extinction.
Meanwhile, Cyan Emperor, wielding a bronze battle blade, has his 129,600 Star Acupoints shining like great suns. His whole body’s Blood Qi Power has been pushed to the limit, the vast and immense power resembling mighty rivers, catching the attention of many Upper Realm Quasi-Immortal Kings.
"Unlocking acupoints with one’s physical body to harbor Star Power, this person is indeed extraordinary, even in the Upper Realm’s Three Thousand Cosmos, can be considered a top-tier powerhouse."
"Indeed, there are few in the world who can fight the master of the Great Leiyin Temple to this extent."
"It was initially thought Shakyamuni Buddha could directly suppress the two, but now it seems it’s not so easy—"
The display of strength by Cyan Emperor and Aoba astonished these Quasi-Immortal Kings and Semi-Saints.
If they were to face Shakyamuni Buddha, they’d likely be suppressed with a single encounter.
Sweeping across the Three Thousand Cosmos without facing an equal.
Capable of declaring supremacy of heaven and earth.
Such an existence.
Can’t be simple.
Since this figure took charge of the Great Leiyin Temple, countless strong individuals have been suppressed by him, even contemporaries find it difficult to contend.
Many cultivators, upon learning of Shakyamuni Buddha’s arrival, believed he could break the current deadlock, but now it appears the matter is not so simple.
In the void.
Shakyamuni Buddha’s previously relaxed expression is also gone, his Buddha’s Golden Body stained with blood, with indelible Sword Intent remnants — those left by Aoba on him.
Meanwhile, his chest is caved in with a large fist imprint showing — traces left by Cyan Emperor.
The duo’s strength.
Even the master of the Great Leiyin Temple is somewhat shocked.
However.
Aoba and Cyan Emperor aren’t in much better condition, both of them seriously wounded, with copious amounts of blood flowing down, soaking their clothes.
Cyan Emperor’s left hand is shattered, and despite his Quasi-Immortal King physique, he couldn’t immediately regenerate his flesh and blood, as he has exhausted his Blood Qi Power, unable to spare extra strength to recover.
As for Aoba, it’s the same.
"The Lower Realm’s full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the humble monk did indeed underestimate the people of the world!"
Shakyamuni Buddha takes a deep breath, a golden lotus pedestal appears underfoot, sacred Buddha light emanating, blocking the sword that slashes across the sky.
But even then, Buddha light shows dense cracks, as if ready to shatter at any moment.
Normally.
The lotus pedestal is a Supreme Treasure of the Buddha Realm, even facing a Semi-Saint, it’s not easy to damage such a treasure’s defense.
But now it is like this due to Shakyamuni Buddha’s own serious depletion, insufficient to continue sustaining the power of the Supreme Treasure.
At this moment.
Shakyamuni Buddha understands.
Trying to suppress Cyan Emperor and Aoba is no longer possible.
If it comes down to an all-out battle, it will likely end in mutual destruction.
Understanding this.
The thought of retreat has already formed in his mind.
