Chapter 957: What Does the Buddha Mother Count For?
"I'm sorry, you're too late!"
Xiao Yi's voice came from the Great Buddha Hall.
In the void, golden flowers were scattered everywhere, and auspicious clouds of various colors dazzled brilliantly. Between heaven and earth, one could faintly hear the continuous echoes of heavenly music.
Behind Xiao Yi, the Divine Sealing Tree radiated dazzling light, trembling constantly. On the branches, numerous bright green Sealing God Leaves dazzled the eyes.
Seven hundred and eighty million Sealing God Leaves.
It indicated that Xiao Yi's cultivation had also stepped into the seventh layer of the Supreme Venerate Realm.
The further one progresses in the Supreme Venerate Realm, the more difficult it is to advance in cultivation.
The faith accumulated by the Celestial Dragon Temple over hundreds of years could allow him to break the fetters between the Heavenly Venerate and Supreme Venerate, stepping into the path of the Supreme Venerate. And that Holy Buddhist Relic allowed him to leap through five minor realms.
From the First-layer Supreme Realm, he had catapulted up to the sixth layer.
Now...
The thousand-year accumulation of Vajra Temple could only help him make one more breakthrough.
From this one could see.
How terrifying the strength of a Supreme Venerable must be!
The energy contained in a single Holy Buddhist Relic far surpassed the collective faith gathered by Celestial Dragon Temple and Vajra Temple over thousands of years. If a Supreme Venerable at their peak were to act,
How formidable would their combat power be?
Of course.
All this was yet to come.
At this moment...
Having broken through to the seventh layer Supreme Realm, Xiao Yi was no longer powerless when facing the two Huoyun Children, who were comparable to the Ninth Layer Supreme Realm.
Crackle and pop!
The aura of the three simultaneously erupted, colliding in the air, and exploded with thunderous roars that deafened the ears.
Streams of energy dispersed.
Falling into the Vajra Temple.
Boom!
Where this violent energy passed, nothing grew, and not a single tile remained. In just an instant, it was submerged in a raging sea of fire, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
Guang Sheng and other strong figures of the Vajra Temple couldn't help but flee in disarray, not daring to linger within the vicinity of the Vajra Temple.
They stopped tens of kilometers away from the Temple.
Looking at the temple shrouded in aura and surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds, Guang Sheng took a deep breath, his facial expression uncertain: "Those two just now seemed to be the Huoyun Child and Jingang Child under the Buddhist Mother's command, actually pursuing Xiao Buddha King? What on earth is going on? No, this monk must immediately contact the abbot..."
Meanwhile.
Thousands of miles away from Vajra Temple in the void, Xuan Cang and others were tracking Xiao Yi's aura all the way.
All their expressions were extremely serious: "Jingang Child and Huoyun Child are both pursuing Xiao Buddha King. I wonder if he can escape unscathed..."
"Brother Guang Liang, this seems to be the direction toward your Vajra Temple. What are they doing there?"
Guang Liang himself was puzzled, shaking his head, his expression suddenly changed.
Everyone saw the change in Guang Liang's expression and stopped, looking at him with confusion.
Huh!
Guang Liang took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, clearly articulating: "Xiao Buddha King came to my Vajra Temple and absorbed all the faith amassed over a thousand years. Now, both Huoyun and Jingang Children have reached Vajra Temple and are besieging Xiao Buddha King..."
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock, their faces showing alarm: "How is that possible? Xiao Buddha King is not a Supreme Buddha, how could he refine the faith?"
"Who exactly is this Xiao Buddha King?"
"Let's hurry to Vajra Temple and find out. If we can also learn this method to refine the faith, why bother ardently pursuing the position of Buddha?"
The eyes of a group of strong figures all showed fiery desire.
Why could Spirit Mountain become a holy Buddhist site?
Isn't it because they hold the position of Buddha? Isn't it because only by holding the position of Buddha can one absorb and refine the faith to enhance one's cultivation?
If they could, like Xiao Yi, devour the faith while not being a Buddha,
Why should they painstakingly pursue the position of Buddha?
Why should they follow Spirit Mountain's directives?
For a moment.
The group accelerated at top speed toward Vajra Temple...
......
The sky above Vajra Temple, already transformed into a vast sea of fire, was subjected to intense flames. The surrounding mountains were melting, turning into scorching magma that surged wildly in all directions.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Three figures clashed in the void, causing tremendous roars that shook the heavens and earth.
It was Xiao Yi battling fiercely with two acolytes of the Buddha Mothers.
Before this.
Xiao Yi could barely hold his own against the two, but now, he was gradually gaining the upper hand.
With the black Wind Thunder wings fluttering on his back, one hand wielding the Red Sky Sword chaotically slashing through the air, and the Invincible King Fist exploding continuously. Fist shadows and sword light intertwined like an army of thousands of horses, constantly attacking the two acolytes.
Huoyun Child's Fire Cloud Spear in his hand was strong, but now facing the Red Sky Sword, it still struggled to hold up.
The shaft of the spear was covered with numerous sword marks, and the flames spitting from the spear tip flickered dimly.
It seemed as if they might dissipate at any moment.
Jingang Child's Vajra Bracelet was hit repeatedly by Xiao Yi's Invincible King Fist, the so-called invincible Vajra Bracelet was covered with fist imprints.
"Invincible King Fist!"
"One Sword Shocking Heaven!"
Xiao Yi sent Jingang Child flying with a punch while the Red Sky Sword hit the Fire Cloud Spear precisely, like a needle against wheat awn, opposing each other fiercely. The overwhelming force bent the Fire Cloud Spear severely.
Following a massive boom.
The Fire Cloud Spear flew out of hand, and with no obstruction the frenzied sword light wrapped around Huoyun Child.
"No..."
Huoyun Child screamed tragically, and under the endless slaughter of the sword light, he disintegrated into the sky like scattered dust.
"Brother..."
Jingang Child's eyes split with rage, filled with resentment and madness, "How dare you kill my brother, Xiao Yi, I will be irreconcilable with you!"
"Clamor!"
Xiao Yi snorted coldly.
Surrounded by sword light that soared into the sky, transforming into hundreds of millions of sword shadows, countless sword shadows converged on the Red Sky Sword in his hand.
"Sword Without Limits!"
The silver sword patterns on the Red Sky Sword burst forth with dazzling brilliance, like mercury pouring down, and like a galaxy falling from the ninth heaven. The pervasive sword light momentarily spanned between heaven and earth.
At the ends of heaven and earth, as if boundless.
"Vajra Shield!"
Jingang Child supported the heavens with both hands, his Vajra Bracelets linking into a great Vajra net with a clang, and upon a thunderous sound, that unparalleled terrifying sword light fiercely fell upon the net.
However...
After a burst of golden light, the sword light could no longer advance even an inch.
Jingang Child smugly said, "I told you, you cannot break through my defense…"
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yi's lips curved slightly upward, just pointing downward with a finger.
Bang!
The net-like light immediately exploded upon impact.
Terrible sword light, with a boom, hit right at the chest of Jingang Child, opening a horrific sword mark on his chest, with blood and internal organs continuously spilling out.
Severely injured, Jingang Child's physical body was destroyed, leaving only his Primordial Spirit rushing out, attempting to escape into the distant sky.
However…
Xiao Yi simply lifted a finger, and the power of the Divine Sealing converged into a vast heavenly net, directly trapping Jingang Child's Primordial Spirit within it. As Jingang Child's Primordial Spirit tried to escape, touching the Divine Sealing power net caused intense heart-piercing pain.
The Primordial Spirit appeared as if it might disperse at any moment.
The threat of death stripped Jingang Child of his previous arrogance and madness, and he pleaded bitterly, "Xiao, Xiao Buddha King, spare my life, I can beg the Buddha Mother for mercy, to leave you a way to live!"
"Idiot!"
Xiao Yi sneered coldly.
He and the Buddha Mother had already completely fallen out, a feud unto death.
Where was there any possibility of holding back?
Xiao Yi tightened his fingers suddenly, the Divine Sealing power abruptly contracted, and amid sizzling sounds, Jingang Child's Primordial Spirit was utterly annihilated. A cold gleam flickered across Xiao Yi's eyes, "Buddha Mother? What does Buddha Mother count for? Once I devour the faith power of the Shaolin Temple and Hanging Temple, I will personally ascend Spirit Mountain…"
