Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Spare him under your sword!"

A dignified yet icy voice suddenly came forth.

In the void.

An invisible palm materialized, pinching the sword light with the gesture of orchid fingers, causing Xiao Yi's sword to be unable to advance even the slightest bit with just two fingers pinching it.

Xiao Yi's face changed slightly.

At the moment this voice appeared, he felt that the space surrounding his body was completely sealed, rendering him immobile.

Even his eyeballs could not be moved.

A trace of cold sweat rolled down from his forehead.

After assimilating the power of faith accumulated over hundreds of years by the Celestial Dragon Temple, Xiao Yi had stepped into a cultivation akin to the First-layer Supreme Realm, his combat strength more than enough to crush a Fifth Layer Supreme champion.

But now...

The opponent had merely used a voice to rob him of his ability to move.

The strength of the comer far exceeded that of the Fifth Layer Supreme Realm.

It was very likely a master of the Supreme Realm Peak, or even someone surpassing the Supreme Venerable to the Sacred Venerate Realm!

As if to confirm Xiao Yi's speculation.

The Celestial Dragon Supreme, who had almost died under Xiao Yi's sword, showed an ecstatic look on his blood-covered face, filled with madness and triumph, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, Xiao Yi, aren't you very arrogant? Didn't you want to slay me? I am standing right here, come and kill me if you dare, can you kill me? Hahahaha..."

The Celestial Dragon Supreme bellowed in self-indulgence.

Xiao Yi's face turned ice-cold, his eyes filled with unwillingness as he gritted his teeth fiercely and managed to utter: "Who's there?"

Buzz!

Behind the Celestial Dragon Supreme, the void trembled slightly.

A ripple emerged.

A crack in the void suddenly appeared within the ripple, dazzling and blinding light blossomed from within the crack, followed by the slow emergence of a golden lotus platform.

Seated upon that lotus platform was a majestic figure.

The person was one of the two Supreme Venerables from Holy Spirit Mountain, known as one of the twin founders of Buddhism, the Buddha Mother!

Though called the Buddha Mother, he was not a woman.

But a pure man!

The Buddha Mother was not bald; the black hair on his head was coiled into several protruding bumps, like a cluster of densely-packed black grapes atop his head. Below his thick eyebrows, a pair of bright and translucent Buddha eyes shone with dazzling radiance.

On his open chest, a shining golden swastika Buddha seal emanated blinding golden light.

When the Buddha Mother appeared, the Buddha seal came forth on its own.

Wherever he passed, golden flowers filled the sky.

Beneath his lotus platform, specks of golden light fell, and upon touching the earth, all things sprung to life; lush woods and grass grew on broken mountains, and dry rivers began to churn with raging waves again.

"The Buddha descends to the mortal world, everything springs to life, is this, this the Buddha Mother?"

"The Mother of all Buddhas, to think that the Buddha Mother himself has personally made an appearance?"

"That's not right; there are rumors that the Buddha Mother has thousands of avatars, this is just one of them."

"What? Just one avatar possesses such terrifying power, then, then if the Buddha Mother himself were to descend in his true form, how powerful must he be?"

For a moment.

It seemed as if every creature in heaven and earth was touched, all kneeling on the ground, worshipping the holy saint of Buddhism before them with fear and reverence.

The Buddha Mother was shrouded in Buddha light, his visage solemn.

He glanced at the Celestial Dragon Supreme with his Buddha eyes, and a shower of golden light fell upon him, healing the Celestial Dragon Supreme's wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, Buddha Mother!" the Celestial Dragon Supreme said respectfully.

The Buddha Mother nodded slightly.

The Celestial Dragon Supreme gave a sinister smile, his cold eyes turning towards Xiao Yi as he suddenly appeared before Xiao Yi. He threw a fierce punch straight into Xiao Yi's abdomen.

Wow!

Xiao Yi's complexion instantly turned deathly pale, fresh blood spurted from his mouth.

"Boss..."

Little Lin's eyes were filled with rage as he attempted to step forward.

But the Celestial Dragon Supreme merely glanced over with indifferent eyes, and Little Lin shook violently, blood spewing from his mouth as he was sent flying for miles like an arrow loosed from a bow.

"Hahaha, you little bastard, weren't you quite arrogant? You still want to kill me? Let's see how you act arrogantly now..." sneered the Celestial Dragon Supreme with a ferocious smile, reaching out with one hand.

He firmly grabbed hold of Xiao Yi's neck.

His fist turned into a series of afterimages, raining down incessantly upon Xiao Yi.

Bang bang bang!

Fist to flesh, no mercy was shown.

With each punch thrown, an energy of utmost ferocity accompanied it, causing Xiao Yi to bleed from all seven orifices.

"Stop it..."

Little Lin regained his senses and charged back in.

The Celestial Dragon Supreme glanced over: "You little brute dare to be rampant before me? Just watch obediently as your boss dies by my hands!"

Bang!

Little Lin was knocked flying again.

"Son of a bitch, let go of my boss..."

Bang!

Knocked back once again.

Xiao Yi charges time and again, only to be mercilessly swept aside by the attacks of Celestial Dragon Supreme. Little Lin has returned to his true form at this point, his golden armor shattered and bloodied all over.

Yet Little Lin keeps charging time and again. This time, he unleashes his greatest speed, evading the attack of Celestial Dragon Supreme.

His mouth full of sharp fangs clamps down on the arm of Celestial Dragon Supreme.

With a howl of pain, Celestial Dragon Supreme cries out and loosens the grip on Xiao Yi's hand, allowing him to fall to the ground. Celestial Dragon Supreme then grasps Little Lin by the neck and crushes it with force, a series of crisp cracking sounds abruptly breaking the air.

It's the sound of Little Lin's bones being crushed alive.

Blood gushes from Little Lin's mouth like a fountain.

A mad look surfaces on Xiao Yi's face as he lands. The hot blood from Little Lin's mouth splashes onto his face, the thick, metallic taste of blood filling his mouth.

"Phew... phew..."

Xiao Yi opens his mouth wide, his throat churning wildly, but his body is utterly suppressed by Buddha Mother, unable to utter even the word "no".

"Keke, such deep brotherly love, eh? Claiming to be the Buddha King, eh? Seeking to destroy the lineage of Celestial Dragon Temple, eh? Then watch carefully as your brother dies right before your eyes!" Celestial Dragon Supreme sneers with a ferocious grin, pulling Little Lin taut with both hands.

The sound of Little Lin's scale armor clashing together rings out sharply. Blood seeps from the depths of the armor, trickling down, and drop by drop, a trail of blood falls to the ground.

Roar!

Little Lin cries out in anguish towards the sky.

Celestial Dragon Supreme casually wipes a swatch of fresh blood, squats next to Xiao Yi, and repeatedly slaps his face, the bright blood staining it.

Celestial Dragon Supreme looks at Xiao Yi, whose eyes are bloodshot with rage and murderous intent, and chuckles weirdly, "Tsk tsk, look at that fierce gaze. You must wish to shred me into a thousand pieces, right? Unfortunately for you, I stand before you while you can't even harm a single hair on me. However, I can torture your brother before you as I please. Your brother there, a mutant beast, even I cannot discern his lineage. Such rare, premium flesh and blood, I shall feed it to you..."

"No..."

Xiao Yi lets out a howl of despair from his throat, veins across his body bulging, his hysterical voice shattering his throat as blood spurts from his mouth.

Celestial Dragon Supreme looks coldly indifferent.

A finger pierces into Little Lin's back.

Awooo...

Little Lin's body shudders violently, going rigid for a moment, letting out a scream of sheer despair.

Celestial Dragon Supreme uses a finger as a knife, forcibly tearing a piece of flesh from Little Lin's body, casually tossing Little Lin to the ground and stepping on his head with force. Squatting in front of Xiao Yi, Celestial Dragon Supreme grabs Xiao Yi's jaw, forcing the piece of Little Lin's flesh into his mouth, a hysterical madness spreading across his face, "Swallow it for me, swallow..."

Little Lin struggles in agony.

Xiao Yi fiercely resists, refusing to swallow the flesh.

Celestial Dragon Supreme's face twists viciously as he forcibly chews the piece of Little Lin's flesh in Xiao Yi's mouth.

The scene is too harrowing to look upon...

"Buddha Mother, Buddhism is supposed to be compassionate, how can you stand by and watch all this happen? This cannot be..." Jie Se flies out from the crowd, kneeling in front of Buddha Mother with tears streaming down, pleading loudly.

Fa Kong and the others hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and also stepped forward one after another.

Even though they had not spent much time with Xiao Yi.

They could not stand by and watch everything that was happening in front of them.

One by one, they knelt before the Buddha Mother: "Buddha Mother, please save Xiao Buddha King!"

"We can't do this, it goes against the Buddhist way of utmost goodness..."

"Buddha Mother, please don't do this..."

However...

The Buddha Mother high above maintained a gentle smile on her face, but her words were as chilling as falling into an ice cellar for thousands of years: "The sea of suffering is endless, turning back is the shore! Celestial Dragon is only guiding him to convert to Buddhism, there is no malice. You all need not to be so nervous..."

Guiding him to convert to Buddhism?

Guiding my ass!

Is that how you convert someone? By driving them to their death?

Fa Kong said, "But..."

The Buddha Mother gave him a cold glance, and Fa Kong swallowed the words he was about to speak, changing his tone to say: "Amitabha, the Buddha Mother is most correct!

The Buddha Mother nodded, satisfied.

Beside her, Jie Se was completely furious, and released a series of cynical, miserable cold laughs: "Haha, haha... guiding him in the wicked ways of Buddhism? What a way to convert to Buddhism, using the life and death of his brother as a threat, forcing him to consume the flesh and blood of his brother, is this called guiding people? If Buddha truly converts people in this way, how is it any different from demons?"

"Jie Se, mind your words..." Fa Kong said urgently.

"Mind my words? Why should I mind my words? If they dare to do it, why can't I speak of it? Buddha is inherently good, without desire or demand, yet you indulge Celestial Dragon Supreme's cruel methods for your personal vengeance, what right do you have to sit in the position of the Mother of Ten Thousand Buddhas?"

Jie Se's face was full of mockery, and he fiercely tore open the scars of his vows on top of his head, with blood sliding down from his scalp. Jie Se gave a sorrowful cold laugh and stated word by word, "Such a Buddha, I'd rather not be!"

"Jie Se..."

Fa Kong roared, about to speak.

But...

The Buddha Mother had already smiled indifferently: "Amitabha, Jie Se, you have been corrupted by the demonic path, abandoning Buddhism, falling into the ways of demons. To speak such words of great treason and heresy, if I do not punish you, where will the might of Buddha stand?"

As soon as the words fell.

The Buddha Mother pointed a finger, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jie Se was forcibly restrained.

The space around tightened continuously, twisting Jie Se's body, blood spurted from his seven orifices, and his skin was covered in bloodstains, as if he could be crushed to death at any moment.

The surrounding powerhouses remained silent as if chilled to the core.

The Buddha Mother was still radiant and bright, Buddha's light shining upon all.

Celestial Dragon Supreme wore a ferocious cold smile, still forcing Xiao Yi to gnaw on Little Lin's flesh and blood.

But no one noticed...

The thoroughly rage-filled Xiao Yi, within his body, the eternal heavenly tomb suddenly trembled, a ray of golden light burst from inside the tomb and entered the towering Divine Sealing Tree...
