Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Above the sky of the Western Province.

On the road from Celestial Dragon Temple to Vajra Temple, countless powerful beings sensed three terrifying auras chasing each other in the air.

Xiao Yi pushed himself to the limit, his speed comparable to a full sprint by a Peak of Supreme Realm expert.

Huoyun Child and Jingang Child, however, were much slower.

Yet, they still relentlessly pursued.

Both of them had reached the Ninth Layer Supreme Realm, only lacking the Buddha Fruit Position. But in terms of strength alone, among the eighteen Supreme Venerables of Buddha, they could rank within the top three.

"We must catch up to him. As long as we kill this boy, we will have established great merit before the Buddhist Mother!" Jingang Child's feet had two Vajra bracelets constantly rotating, carrying him as he chased Xiao Yi at the highest speed.

Huoyun Child's eyes shone, and he nodded heavily, "Now that the Celestial Dragon Supreme has died in battle, his position is vacant. If we brothers can win the favor of the great Buddhist Mother, she will definitely bestow the Buddha Fruit Position of the Celestial Dragon Supreme upon us!"

"You're right, big brother!"

Jingang Child nodded, his eyes glowing fervently, "We brothers are as one, no matter who gets the Buddha Fruit Position, our strength will greatly increase. Then, we can join forces to plot against another Buddha Supreme, and we both can become Buddha."

Holy Spirit Mountain, the position of Buddha is fixed!

Apart from the three holy Buddha Fruit Positions of past, present, and future.

There are only eighteen Buddha Supremes.

Even though the brothers are deeply favored by the Buddhist Mother, she wouldn't rashly act against a Buddha Supreme. Otherwise, if every Buddha felt endangered, who would serve her?

Not only would the Buddhist Mother and the Buddha himself refrain from casually targeting a Buddha Supreme's position, but they also strive to maintain the relations amongst Buddha Supremes. Even if there is deception among them, it could be tolerated.

But casualties that could harm the Buddhist power are absolutely not allowed.

However...

It was different for Jingang Child and Huoyun Child.

They had the Buddhist Mother behind them!

As long as one of them first becomes a Buddha Supreme, even the Buddha himself would have to think thrice before acting against them.

"Second brother, speed up! I always feel that Xiao Yi is not merely fleeing because he dares not confront us…" Huoyun Child interrupted Jingang Child's fantasy, speaking in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, big brother. With us brothers joining hands and the Buddhist Mother's constant blessings watching over us, what waves could that boy possibly make?" Jingang Child spoke carelessly.

Upon hearing this.

Huoyun Child also nodded his head, not saying anything more.

At this moment...

They did not know that it was exactly this complacent thought that caused them to miss the long-awaited Buddha Fruit Position!

...

Vajra Temple.

After racing tens of thousands of miles, Xiao Yi finally arrived at his first destination, Vajra Temple. All of Vajra Temple's top experts had followed Guang Liang to attack the Celestial Dragon Temple.

At this moment, the Vajra Temple was virtually unguarded.

With a swoosh, Xiao Yi appeared above the Vajra Temple.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Several figures rose into the air, all being the strong warriors left to guard the Vajra Temple, the strongest among them being Guang Sheng at the Peak Earth Honor level. Guang Sheng pressed his palms together, a serious expression on his face as he addressed Xiao Yi: "Amitabha Buddha, may I ask why Xiao Buddha King has come to our Vajra Temple?"

Xiao Yi responded with a Buddhist gesture, saying, "I wish to borrow the faith and offerings of your esteemed temple!"

"What?"

Guang Sheng stunned, then burst out laughing, "Xiao Buddha King must be joking. The faith and offerings are the accumulation of thousands of years and cannot be lent out randomly. Moreover, you are not a Buddha Supreme. Even if borrowed, you cannot assimilate it; so of what use is it to you?"

Guang Sheng, having preached in the Buddhist community for many years, was still merely a chief.

Xiao Yi, so young, had already become the Shaolin Buddha King and sat at equal standing with the abbot.

He had long harbored jealousy.

Now, seizing the opportunity to make things difficult for Xiao Yi, he naturally did not want to let it pass.

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "I do not wish to be enemies with Vajra Temple. Lend me the power of your incense faith, and there will be thanks in the future!"

"Thanks?"

Guang Sheng scoffed, shaking his head, "Sorry, Vajra Temple lacks nothing!"

Hu!

Xiao Yi exhaled a deep breath and said solemnly, "Since that is the case, I will have to offend!"

"Hmm?"

Guang Sheng was taken aback, about to speak, but his face suddenly changed.

He felt the surrounding void tremble violently, as if countless invisible hands were pressing tightly on his body, making him completely lose control over his body.

"This, this..."

Guang Sheng's face showed panic. The last time he met Xiao Yi at Shaolin Temple with Xuan Cang, he could still discern some clues from Xiao Yi, but now he could not see through him at all.

Just one look from Xiao Yi made him lose control of his body.

If Xiao Yi wanted to kill him now, it would be as easy as reaching into a bag.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi had no intention of making enemies with Vajra Temple. He merely brushed past Guang Sheng and charged straight into the Great Buddha Hall.

As Xiao Yi entered the Great Buddha Hall, Guang Sheng found that he had regained control over his body. His expression solemn, he looked in the direction of the Great Buddha Hall with a cold sneer: "Hmph, no matter how strong you are, if you're not the Supreme Buddha, you ultimately cannot refine the power of incense faith..."

However...

Before he could finish his words,

There was suddenly a tremendous roar from the Great Buddha Hall, as a vast amount of incense faith power began to rapidly dissipate.

"This, this, this can't be... He can actually refine the incense faith power?" Guang Sheng's face drastically changed. Recalling his previous mockery and confidence towards Xiao Yi, he suddenly felt his face burning with pain.

He was absolutely certain that Xiao Yi could not refine the incense faith power.

But now…

The rapidly disappearing incense faith power seemed like an invisible slap, harshly striking his face.

Inside the Great Buddha Hall.

Xiao Yi was enveloped in the endless incense faith power. The faith power of Vajra Temple, accumulated over a thousand years and much stronger than Celestial Dragon Temple due to a far greater number of followers, was several times more potent here.

Behind him.

A towering tree hovered, its verdant Sealing God Leaves rapidly increasing.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The entire Divine Sealing Tree's branches and leaves frantically swayed, the lush Sealing God Leaves trembling madly, coalescing an unrivaled surge of energy, feeding back into Xiao Yi's body.

Allowing his power to soar at a breakneck pace.

"Faster, even faster!"

Xiao Yi clenched his teeth, pushing the Divine Sealing Tree to its limits.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Divine Sealing Tree radiated thousands of lights, forming a vortex on it, swallowing the incense faith power like a bottomless pit. The endless incense faith power, much faster than before, merged into the Divine Sealing Tree.

Thousands of lights, a myriad of brilliance, converged above Vajra Temple.

Guang Sheng and other monks of Vajra Temple were all dumbfounded when above the sky, two figures like shooting stars came blasting towards them.

It was Huoyun Child and Jingang Child.

Both of them looked at the colorful cloud formation above Vajra Temple and their expressions changed simultaneously: "This, is this Xiao Yi's aura?"

"Damn it, is he devouring the incense faith of Vajra Temple?"

"We must stop him!"

Their expressions drastically changed as they finally remembered why Xiao Yi had desperately rushed towards Vajra Temple. However, just as they arrived above Vajra Temple.

Inside the Great Buddha Hall, Xiao Yi's cold voice came out: "Sorry, you're too late!"
