Chapter 1044: The Legendary Lesser Deva World

Despite not knowing how to get up there, Sikong Toutian still swallowed his saliva greedily while looking at the Nihility Temple. He said: "I heard Immortal Emperor Fei Yang went there once and even took a stone Buddha statue away. Is that true?"

"About that, what else does the legend say about it?" Li Qiye asked with a grin.

Sikong Toutian went on: "Rumor has it that the emperor went there and was so eloquent that he managed to take away a stone statue willingly. It left the Nihility Temple and the Buddhist Funeral Plateau to go with him."

Li Qiye smiled: "This legend can be considered true. However, there are a few minor details unknown to the world."

Sikong Toutian immediately became spirited and asked: "What kind of details?"

Li Qiye answered with amusement: "There was a secret. Immortal Emperor Fei Yang indeed won. However, he didn't bet on the ultimate gamble. To be precise, he only tricked a stone statue to leave with him. But nevertheless, the emperor was indeed amazing, using just his 3-inch tongue in order to take that statue. This could absolutely be praised as one of the greatest achievements of his life." 1

"I have heard about it before." Sikong Toutian was startled: "Legend states that there is an extremely heaven-defying item in the Nihility Temple that even Immortal Emperors coveted. The ancestors have talked about the ultimate gamble before; Immortal Emperor Hao Hai was someone who took the wager."

Li Qiye gently nodded: "Immortal Emperor Hao Hai was indeed brilliant. Across the eons, even if he was weaker than Immortal Emperor Jiao Heng or Immortal Emperor Fei, his brilliance is comparable to Immortal Emperor Fei Yang."

"In those days, the emperor really did enter the Nihility Temple to make the challenge and participate in the ultimate gamble. Unfortunately, he was not the victor." Li Qiye stared profoundly at the temple and slowly recalled the past: "Nevertheless, the emperor proved himself to be extraordinary. In the end, he left the temple with an invincible momentum. It could be said that one couldn't leave unscathed after participating in this gamble, it was truly difficult even for emperors."

"Pretty amazing." Sikong Toutian's blood was boiling. He excitedly rubbed his palms together at the thought of a gamble of the emperor level. This was taking it to the limit and prompted him to say: "The ancestors told me some more. Later on, Immortal Emperor Hao Hai never dared to enter the Buddhist Funeral Plateau again for the rest of his life."

"You can put it that way. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't return." Li Qiye spoke: "However, even if he could, it wouldn't be a good thing for him. That event casted a shadow over his mind, so he didn't wish to go back."

"Just who are the people in the Nihility Temple? How are they able to make an emperor never want to return to the plateau? To make them not even dare to take half a step inside?" Sikong Toutian was amazed and murmured in awe.

"No, not people, just one item." Li Qiye muttered: "It's just as you have said, an item coveted even by emperors."

"Is it located in the temple itself?" Sikong Toutian began to salivate again like a little thief looking at a supreme treasure.

"Yes and no." Li Qiye answered: "The pot isn't in the Nihility Temple. However, in order to see it, one must go through the temple. The temple is the key."

"It must be an immortal pot." Sikong Toutian swallowed hard and smirked: "If I could just touch this kind of immortal pot, my life would be fulfilled."

"You touching it?" Li Qiye glanced at him and lightly said: "Without considering whether you can get up there or not, even if you could, this doesn't guarantee a chance of seeing the broken pot. Now let's assume that you could see the pot. Not to mention touching, if you just looked at it a bit, heh…" Li Qiye laughed deviously at this point.

"What will happen?" Sikong Toutian felt an itch and had to ask: "Will I die just by looking at the immortal pot for a bit?"

Li Qiye smiled: "You won't die, it would just be a fate worse than death! Not just anyone can touch this thing; it is a double-edged sword. If you can control it, then it can grant you everything. If not, then it will suck you dry! At that point, death will no longer seem scary and instead be a sweet relief! The worst part is that you won't be able to die even if you wanted to. Not only that, your incessant torture will last for a very, very long time!"

Sikong Toutian shivered and added: "Just like being condemned to hell with zero chance of reincarnation?"

Li Qiye didn't answer him. He looked into the distance and spoke: "The lotus is coming out, so it is time for me to take action."

Sikong Toutian quickly patted his chest and said: "Boss, I will stay back to watch over the place."

Li Qiye nodded and stepped into the sky, instantly disappearing in the horizon; he headed for Spirit Mountain.

"The Buddhist lotus is about to come out." In fact, this news was spread all over the plateau around this time. Many people were searching for it.

At first, the younger generation didn't know what it was. However, after being told by their seniors, they immediately went to find the lotus.

Whenever the Lesser Deva World opens, a Buddhist lotus would appear. It had a great effect in the lesser world, so everyone wanted to have it.

Not far from Spirit Mountain was a withered valley. Not long ago, the entire place had sunk. However, it was now a welcoming golden spring.

"Splashh!" Golden spring water oozed from the valley. In just a short period of time, the valley turned into a large lake. Under the sunlight, the water that was already golden became even more dazzling.

In just half a day, countless experts rushed to this place. This was because they predicted the lotus, as well as the entrance to the Lesser Deva World, would appear here.

In a short moment, both the sky and ground surrounding this lake filled with people. Blood energy was surging everywhere. Both young and old were crowding here.

In the four directions, some stood alone in the sky while others used huge vessels to make space. The strong ones took up a peak all by themselves while the cool ones sat under the shade of the trees…

In this place were many experts, including Heavenly Kings and Virtuous Paragons. Naturally, the famous geniuses wouldn't miss this for anything.

Jikong Wudi, Heavenly Emperor Lin, Zhan Shi, and the Jewel Pillar Mortal King were all here. It could be said that they were the first to get here. Even Bing Yuxia came to play. Seated on her divine chariot while adorned with male attire, she looked around and said: "It seems like I'm not late."

She took up a spot, but others didn't dare to compete with her.

The group of geniuses all had their own territories. Other experts, both young and old, weren't willing to fight them for it.

Among these geniuses, one would naturally become the Immortal Emperor in the future, so no one wanted to offend them. Not to mention, the powers behind them were quite powerful as well!

The undercurrents of both the lake and atmosphere simmered. There were a few powerful paragons here as well as a few God-Monarchs unwilling to show their faces.

Some of these paragons had already embarked on the path of the grand era. They wanted to seize the lotus as well. However, Jikong Wudi's group was not afraid of the old paragons since they were well prepared.

Many noticed their confidence and couldn't help but tremble. This meant that the group of geniuses had powerful dao protectors present as well.

In terms of cultivation, this young group couldn't necessarily compete with older paragons, especially the grand era paragons and God-Monarchs. However, their secret dao protectors were dreadful to just about anyone, including God-Monarchs.

"We're missing Goddess Mei and Bai Jianzhen." Someone murmured after looking at the young group.

"If Goddess Mei and Bai Jianzhen come, then all the young people most qualified to become the emperor in the Mortal Emperor World will have gathered here." Even the older generation had to admit this.

"There's Evil Buddha as well." Another blurted out.

At this time, someone shouted: "Evil Buddha is here!" People looked around and sure enough, Evil Buddha was flying here. Below his feet was an auspicious cloud, giving him the appearance of a Buddhist Lord that had ascended.

Li Qiye landed on a peak with many eyes on him. Recently, his reputation was sky-high and had even overshadowed Jikong Wudi's group.

The Mortal King was giving him a particularly cold glare. However, he was surprisingly able to contain himself this time and didn't make a move.

"The battle is about to begin." Some people smelled blood with this gathering. They left the large lake to avoid being involved.

Even under the prying eyes of so many, Li Qiye remained calm as he stood alone while looking at the glittering golden lake with a faint smile on his face.

Chapter 1045: Venerable Dry Peak

"The Sword Goddess is here…" Not long after Li Qiye's arrival, someone shouted and drew a lot of attention.

In the present times, only Bai Jianzhen was qualified to have the title of Sword Goddess. She came holding her sword and had returned to the origin. No one dared to block her path as she walked forth; the spectators quickly made way.

In terms of battle records, she was not as illustrious as the Mortal King since he challenged everyone. As for prestige, she was lesser than Jikong Wudi; he had a triple saint aptitude and was untouchable. However, she was still quite dreadful in her own right.

There was a saying: when the mad sword comes out, meet god slay god, meet devil slay devil. No one wanted to test her fury because people said that it was quite horrifying. She even chased the Mortal King around. With nowhere to hide, he struggled to escape alive from the battle.

After coming here, she simply coldly glanced around and didn't care for the group. She sat down next to a tree.

All the strong cultivators were gathered here. Suddenly, the atmosphere became heavy to the max. Everyone understood that a bloodbath was absolutely unavoidable.

Bing Yuxia looked around and said with a smile: "The lotus hasn't come out yet, so does anyone want to fight first?"

However, no one took her up on it. The arrogant Jikong Wudi remained standing there. Lin Tiandi was still carefree and cool. Zhan Shi had no response, and the Mortal King was as immovable as a peak.

"How boring." Bing Yuxia saw the group staying patient and knew that she wouldn't be able to fight until the lotus appeared. She was too lazy to look at them, so her eyes fell upon Li Qiye instead.

At this moment, he was Chu Yuntian, so she naturally couldn't recognize him. However, for some unknown reason, she felt that this Evil Buddha gave quite a familiar sensation. It was just that she couldn't put her finger on it.

She felt that she had met him before but couldn't recall the exact time.

"The current world is the playground of the young." An old sect master gently sighed while looking at the geniuses lording over their respective territories. He chose not to compete for the lotus and retreated to the horizon to watch instead.

Despite their past feuds, the group remained calm and waited for the lotus flower's appearance.

The tense atmosphere permeated this entire area. At the same time, an old man flew here and took a look around before focusing on the lake.

This old man exuded the aura of a paragon. It was quite oppressive. Moreover, he came with great fanfare, as if he was not afraid of antagonizing others.

"Venerable Dry Peak." Someone recognized his identity and murmured: "I didn't think someone of his status would actually work under the Soaring Heavenly Saintess."

It turned out that this old man was a famous Virtuous Paragon. He was from a big sect and many people called him Venerable Dry Peak.

As a paragon, he shouldn't have joined the banner of a junior, especially one like the saintess since she couldn't compare to Jikong Wudi's group. However, he actually went against the norm because he wanted to use the emissary behind the saintness to join the Soaring Immortal Sect. He wished to become an external disciple to pave the way for his sect in the future. 1

No one wanted to speak out against the venerable's attitude, including the young geniuses. With their status and strength, they simply didn't care for the saintess. However, they didn't want to provoke the Soaring Immortal Sect behind her.

After all, it would be unwise for those who aspired to become an Immortal Emperor to oppose the Soaring Immortal Sect.

The venerable came to scout for the saintess. After glancing around, he knew the Buddhist lotus had yet to appear and was about to leave. However, he suddenly saw Evil Buddha.

"You are that Evil Buddha." He went before Li Qiye and coldly stared at him.

The venerable's aggressive maneuver against Li Qiye made the crowd look around at each other. Someone murmured: "The storm is finally brewing."

Li Qiye smiled and replied: "That is what people call me."

The venerable fiercely shouted: "You are the one who used evil arts to kill the Nantian Young King's people!"

Li Qiye chuckled in response: "That would seem to be the case."

Li Qiye acting as if he didn't care at all left the venerable angry. He coldly stared at Li Qiye and raised his voice: "Monk, you are a Buddhist practitioner, so you shouldn't involve yourself with mundane feuds. It is not too late to resolve this grievance; otherwise, even if you sever mortal ties, you still won't have anywhere to go."

Many people held their breaths after hearing this. They knew that the Nantian Young King was working for the Soaring Heavenly Saintess and was killed by Evil Buddha. The saintess absolutely wouldn't let this go. Otherwise, how could she establish her prestige in the Mortal Emperor World?

"Oh, so you are saying that this grievance is resolvable." Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh.

The venerable coldly uttered: "If you come with me now and kneel and beg for forgiveness before the saintess, then perhaps she will spare your life and show mercy. Otherwise…" At this point, he snorted with contempt.

"Otherwise what?" Li Qiye chuckled.

The venerable immediately snapped: "Otherwise, there will be no place for you in this world even if you leave the mundane realm! I'll break your legs right now and drag you to see the saintess."

"So you are saying that you are confident in being able to break my legs." Li Qiye laughed in response.

Everyone was watching since they wanted to see Evil Buddha's dharma.

"Monk, although your dharma might be peerless, you can't rely on Buddhism while traveling in this world. Obediently comply or I'll have to be forceful." The venerable had heard of how the young king died. However, he didn't pay it any mind. He felt that the young king was too weak and that his dao heart was not firm, so he was confused by the dharma. This kind of junior was too useless.

"Amitabha." Li Qiye placed his palms together. In an instant, boundless Buddhist lights blossomed from his body and illuminated all four directions.

At this time, Buddhist hymns descended and gave birth to golden lotuses all over the sky. This powerful rhythm moved the entire Buddhist Funeral Plateau as Li Qiye turned into a Buddhist Lord.

"Go!" Many felt uneasy the moment Li Qiye began his chant. They didn't want to be anywhere close to him lest his dharma control them.

Venerable Dry Peak was instantly submerged in the endless light. Under its powerful rhythm, his body froze and was drowned in the Buddhist sea. Despite being a Virtuous Paragon, he lost control over himself in this ocean and was instantly converted.

"Evil with grave sins should be exterminated!" Li Qiye continued on spewing out mantras. His decree resonated with the Buddhist hymns: "Go, subdue the evil!"

"Goodness, goodness." After the decree came out, the venerable actually placed his palms together and turned around to leave. He instantly disappeared into the horizon.

Li Qiye's light disappeared and he resumed his normal appearance. It seemed as if what happened just now was only an illusion.

"That's it?" Many people felt disappointed after seeing the venerable leave. Some thought that he would commit suicide and were slightly let down by Li Qiye's dharma.

A Virtuous Paragon stared at the faraway Buddhist City and murmured: "No, it's more than that!"

"Ahh—!" Screams rang out from the city. Blood spurted everywhere where the Soaring Heavenly Saintess was staying. After the venerable returned, he started massacring the people in the camp!

"Something is happening!" The spectators noticed the commotion back at the city and immediately flew there to watch. Many experts opened their heavenly gaze to view it as well.

"Dry Peak, are you insane?!" Eventually, Dry Peak's slaughter alarmed the other Virtuous Paragons under the saintness. One of them shouted and went to stop him.

"Rumble!" In a split second, the world spun. Virtuous Paragons had a showdown in the sky and broke through the firmament. Treasures slammed into each other, causing flames to spark and light up the sky.

"Ah!" Eventually, a shrill scream resounded. Venerable Dry Peak was assassinated by another paragon and this bizarre event finally concluded.

Back at the lake, many sects masters and paragons all witnessed that scene. They shivered and glanced over at Li Qiye.

People receded like the tides to maintain their distance.

Li Qiye using the dharma to control the Nantian Young King's group was one thing. This could be attributed to their age, lack of cultivation, and brittle dao heart.

However, a paragon like Dry Peak was instantly crossed over by Li Qiye as well — this was too horrifying. If Li Qiye wanted to perform a mass conversion, wouldn't he be able to instantly control countless experts?!

A cold sweat broke out as they thought about Venerable Dry Peak's ultimate fate. In their eyes, Li Qiye was even more frightening than a devil.

Jikong Wudi's group turned quite serious as well. Evil Buddha's terrifying might once again exceeded their expectations!

Even Zhan Shi with his firm dao heart wasn't sure if he could stay strong against Evil Buddha's conversion!

Li Qiye only chuckled. He had grasped the true meaning of the Buddhist Funeral Plateau. In this place, he was able to control all Buddhist laws. Unless the existence in the Buddhist sea took action, he could convert just about anyone with his dharma!

Different word from outer disciple. It's higher in this context. ↩

Chapter 1046: A Brewing Storm

People stayed far away from Li Qiye and stared at him in horror. This monk that didn't look like a monk gave them the willies.

Everyone knew the fearful dharma in the plateau as well as Spirit Mountain's power of conversion. However, under normal circumstances, Sacred Monks and Bodhisattvas from the eighteen temples wouldn't take the initiative to convert others.

But now, Li Qiye was a wandering Bodhisattva away from Spirit Mountain with the ability to convert a paragon with one phrase. Anyone would be fearful of such an existence, so they stayed far away.

Supreme geniuses like Jikong Wudi did not avoid him and instead proudly stood their ground. However, their expressions were quite grave. Li Qiye's abilities were too dangerous to even geniuses like them.

"Hey, are you borrowing the power of the plateau, or is it your own?" Bing Yuxia stared at Li Qiye and asked with some curiosity.

He looked at her and smiled: "Does it matter? The land will become a Buddhist holyland wherever I go. When I speak, my words become the dharma; where I walk, Arhats and Bodhisattvas will follow me. I control the dharma and the Buddhist laws. Everyone shall join Buddhism under my preaching."

Such words were incredibly arrogant. It was as if he considered himself a Buddhist Lord. However, no one thought that he was being ludicrous and only felt that this Evil Buddha before them was too horrifying.

"I want to test your dharma." Bing Yuxia was itching and didn't hide her intent to fight at all.

Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: "Girl, I have no interest in crossing you over. Even if I did, there wouldn't be that great of an effect because your Heaven Cutting Dao isn't appropriate for the Buddhist faith."

Her expression immediately tensed up the moment he said this. Fascinating glimmers flashed across her eyes as she glared at him. Fewer than few people knew about her Dao of Heaven Cutting; it was something she learned from the Heaven Cutting Tablet. But now, this Evil Buddha that she had never seen before suddenly revealed her secret, so how could she not become serious?

"What would be suitable for the Buddhist faith?" She stared at him and slowly asked, intending to find some clues by watching each of his actions.

"Her…" Li Qiye casually pointed at Bai Jianzhen who was sitting under a tree.

After arriving, Bai Jianzhen sat in the shade and closed her eyes, but now when Li Qiye suddenly pointed at her, her eyes narrowed to resemble two divine swords.

"That icy woman." Bing Yuxia didn't expect for Evil Buddha to value Bai Jianzhen like this. She curiously asked: "Why do you want to pick her?"

"Because she has discovered the mad sword." Li Qiye answered dismissively: "Buddhism has furious vajra. This furious nature combined with her mad sword would allow her to reach the apex with a creation that can catch up to the old Immortal Emperor Ye Ti."

At this point, Bai Jianzhen's pretty eyes were staring intensely at Li Qiye. She didn't become angry for she had fallen into a deep contemplation.

Li Qiye chuckled: "If you join my banner, I will show you the way. In the future, people like them wouldn't be a match for you. The moment your sword leaves its sheath would be the end of them." Having said that, he casually pointed at Jikong Wudi's group.

Such words were a blatant provocation towards them. Jikong Wudi turned cold; the Mortal King had a fierce glare; Zhan Shi had no reaction, and Heavenly Emperor Lin was as nonchalant as always.

The crowd, on the other hand, took a deep breath. Evil Buddha's tone was quite big. This was extremely overbearing since it immediately offended the entire group of geniuses.

Bai Jianzhen didn't respond to Li Qiye. She only sat there while embracing her sword. Eventually, she slowly closed her eyes as if she didn't care for external matters.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "The Soaring Heavenly Saintess is here!" A golden vessel jumped into the sky and quickly hovered above the lake.

On top of the vessel was a woman — the current descendant of the Heavenly God Sect, the Soaring Heavenly Saintess! Behind her were three old men. They spent no effort to conceal their paragon auras that were surging endlessly like a flood assaulting the sky.

Even though these old men were incredibly arrogant, many people still trembled inside. This was due to the fact that the three old men were not ordinary paragons, they had entered the path of the grand era! Even though they weren't as strong as God-Monarchs, eternal existences like these three would always be dreadful.

"That's the Soaring Heavenly Saintess…" Someone murmured while looking at the proud woman atop the golden vessel.

Many were quite wary of her. She didn't only have the three eternal existences behind her but also a God-Monarch as well.

Everyone knew that although her talents weren't bad, the Heavenly God Sect was not strong enough to let three eternal existences and one God-Monarch become her dao protectors.

But now, her personal value was completely different. The Soaring Immortal Emissary was her uncle while the sect wanted to descend. If they could groom an Immortal Emperor this generation and unify the nine worlds, then everything would be different!

Now, the majority's first reaction was to look over at Li Qiye. They all understood that she came to cause trouble for Evil Buddha.

"You are the Evil Buddha who used a demonic art to kill the Nantian Young King and confuse Venerable Dry Stone, right?" She coldly looked down at Li Qiye in an imperious manner.

She couldn't be blamed for having such panache. Prior to this, she was well-known in the Grand Middle Territory as the main descendant of the Heavenly God Sect. However, she was far from being comparable to supreme geniuses like Jikong Wudi and the others.

But things were different now. The rise of the Heavenly God Sect and return of her uncle as well as her being chosen for the sect were all a matter of time. In the future, she would actually succeed her uncle's position and become the new emissary of the sect in the Mortal Emperor World.

Overnight, her worth became a hundred times greater, turning her into a big shot that was on the same standing as Jikong Wudi's group.

Thus, how could her confidence not shoot up? Right now, she wanted to establish her prestige so that no one would dare to question her authority. For this, she needed to make an example out of someone. Without a doubt, this Evil Buddha had become her target.

"That's right." Li Qiye smiled while looking at the haughty saintess.

At this point, everyone watched with bated breaths. Jikong Wudi's group was ready to watch the fun as well, especially the Mortal King and Jikong Wudi himself. These two were naturally happy to see Evil Buddha fighting against the saintess.

Once Evil Buddha becomes enemies with the Heavenly God Sect, only death would await him no matter how powerful he may be at that point!

She shouted with a cold demeanor: "I see, you're an evil monk. You dare to spout heresy to confuse people and killed Soaring Immortal disciples with an evil art. Even ten thousand deaths cannot absolve your sin."

Many people glanced at each other after hearing this. They knew that both the young king and the venerable weren't Soaring Immortal disciples. The saintess simply wanted to frame Li Qiye to make him an enemy of the soaring sect!

Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "Just a little junior that already knows how to wave the banner around, a fox borrowing the might of a tiger. The Soaring Immortal Sect has yet to recruit you, but you are already showing off. If you become the emissary, won't you begin to order the entire Mortal Emperor World around?"

This retort left the saintess with an extremely ugly expression. It was a clear showing of disdain and directly hit her insecurities. This was the thing she didn't want to hear the most!

Many were very afraid of Evil Buddha, but they secretly applauded his words. In fact, they didn't like watching the saintess acting haughtily due to her backing. Alas, they were afraid of the Soaring Immortal Sect behind her, so they didn't want to antagonize her.

Thus, when Evil Buddha spoke what was on everyone's mind, it made the crowd feel very good.

"Evil monk, you don't know life from death!" The saintess was shaking with anger and shouted at him.

Li Qiye looked at her and shook his head again: "The Soaring Immortal Sect is in a steep decline. Those old geezers will not leave their coffins to come out, so their descendants can only groom some trash. If a joke like you can eventually become the emissary, then the Soaring Immortal Sect can only continue on this downward spiral, like a river drying up by the day."

The Soaring Heavenly Saintess commanded: "Evil monk, you actually dare to slander the Soaring Immortal Sect, you deserve to be quartered! Elders, go take down this monk and torture him. Let him know the name Soaring Immortal."

The three eternal existences stepped out at this time and immediately went for Li Qiye. Their surging blood energies erupted as their fate weapons appeared and poured down universal laws. This was to prevent the dharma's affinity of conversion.

In their eyes, Li Qiye's dharma was a confusion technique of sorts, so they sealed their five senses. This way, his dharma wouldn't be able to charm them.

The crowd truly appreciated this defensive maneuver. They wanted to see if such a method could stop Li Qiye's dharma or not.

"Evil monk, accept your fate!" With their five senses sealed, three gigantic palms blotted out the sky, not giving Li Qiye a chance to escape as they lunged at him.

A Buddhist light bloomed from his body. This extremely scorching light was dazzling to the point where people couldn't keep their eyes open.

At this moment, Li Qiye seemed to be controlling the entire plateau. He was the supreme Buddhist Lord.

"Amitabha." Li Qiye chanted his mantra and instantly gathered the endless Buddhist energy of the plateau. All of its power was within his grasp.

"Amitabha…" With the urging from Li Qiye's peerless dharma, the numerous temples and monks of the plateau all chanted in unison.

Chapter 1047: One Word Opposing A God Monarch

Such a change left all existences in the plateau quivering. As myriad temples echoed after him, Li Qiye raised his palm. The power in this place was being driven by him. A gigantic Buddhist palm appeared in the sky. Its shadow would make even gods tremble.

"Boom!" This palm shattered the sky and came crashing towards the three eternal existences.

"Initiate!" The three eternal existence shouted in response. They didn't hold anything back and unleashed all of their blood energy to power their most powerful attack. They shot it towards the palm in order to stop its terrifying might.

"Bang!" The entire plateau quaked. On the ground was a gigantic palm print as if a blade used the land as its canvas. Each of its curves was extremely meticulous and skillfully crafted.

As for the three eternal existences, they were rendered into pools of blood. Their corpses no longer existed.

"Mommy…" Countless people felt their knees giving in while their legs trembled in fear after seeing this. Three eternal existences were annihilated by a single Buddhist palm. There was nothing left of them.

Jikong Wudi's group was astounded. Until now, they assumed that Li Qiye could only use his dharma to convert people. They didn't expect that he could destroy three eternal existences with a casual attack.

"Borrowing the power of the Buddhist Funeral Plateau." Heavenly Emperor Lin was astonished after seeing this palm. His eyes became quite profound. This attack left the group of genius in fear.

All of a sudden, the scene became quiet. Li Qiye's might extending beyond his conversion shattered all expectations.

Three paragons couldn't even block a single move before meeting their demise. Anyone would shiver after seeing this development.

The Soaring Heavenly Saintess' expression greatly shifted. With a God-Monarch as her backing, she was previously fearless. However, she didn't expect for the three eternal existences to be unable to block even a single palm.

Li Qiye flew into the sky and instantly stood before the saintess' golden vessel. He smiled: "Tell me, should I convert you or crush you?"

The shocked saintess couldn't help but take several steps back with fear in her heart. However, a figure came out and stood before her.

It was an old man adorned in a robe made out of hemp. His appearance caused the sky to fall into darkness. His eyes flashed a green glint, causing people to quiver uncontrollably.

An aghast spectator uttered: "God-Monarch…" Despite not unleashing his full blood energy and God-Monarch aura, the strands of power radiating from his body were scary enough.

A paragon from the previous generation murmured in astonishment: "Night Scorpion God-Monarch!"

The old man called the Night Scorpion God-Monarch blocked everything with darkness. In order to stop Li Qiye's conversion, he stood before the saintess and spoke gravely: "Little friend, please hold on."

"A God-Monarch." Li Qiye looked at him and chuckled: "Although you barely make the cutoff, you are still a bit stronger than self-proclaimed monarchs."

Night Scorpion did not respond. He coldly stared at Li Qiye like a scorpion watching its prey in the shadows, ready to deliver the fatal blow with its poisonous pincers at any time. 1

"What a shame, a God-Monarch that should be free to travel among the clouds… Instead of retiring and enjoying the rest of your lifespan, you came here to be someone else's dog. It isn't anything great to rely on the Soaring Immortal Sect. It cannot protect your sect forever." Li Qiye leisurely smiled.

At this point, people were ready to see if the God-Monarch could actually stop Evil Buddha. They now understood his terrifying abilities too well.

The monarch remained quiet and bid his time to deliver a mortal blow. At this time, the saintess kept enough distance behind him to stay safe. She finally felt relieved and grew more courageous with his protection.

"God-Monarch, slay this evil monk for me. I want to take his head to the emissary." Her embarrassment from earlier now turned into anger.

The monarch still didn't attack yet. He was quite cautious as he searched for an opportunity just like a scorpion shrouded in darkness. With his strength and status, he wouldn't attack just because the saintess told him to.

"Take my head?" Li Qiye laughed and placed his palms together: "Oh Merciful Buddha…" In the blink of an eye, a Buddhist light illuminated the world. The rhythm of the entire plateau was moved by him.

"Die!" In this split second, the monarch finally attacked since he had no other choice. A cold glint flashed by like a star drifting through the night sky. This glint crossed the sky at an unimaginable speed. Many people's hearts skipped a beat since they felt their hearts being pierced.

However, at that exact moment, there seemed to be millions and millions of sacred monks reciting Buddhist laws in unison. In the blink of an eye, a golden lotus fully bloomed below Li Qiye's feet.

No one knew what was going on. The only thing they noticed was that the monarch had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

They eventually found that this lotus flower was growing in a boundless Buddhist sea. The other shore of this sea was actually Spirit Mountain.

"Over there!" An old paragon finally saw it clearly and pointed at Spirit Mountain in the distance.

At this time, everyone realized that the Night Scorpion God-Monarch was being trapped in Spirit Mountain located at the other side of the sea.

Night Scorpion was frightened as well. The moment he took a step forward to leave Spirit Mountain, he was lost in the vast sea and couldn't leave. This scared him enough to the point where he had to pull back his foot.

He was completely pale for he knew he had met a fearsome opponent. Just one word alone could banish him forever!

The crowd was astonished, including Jikong Wudi's group. One word to banish a God-Monarch — this was more ghastly than anything else they had experienced.

It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a needle hitting the ground. Both era-defying geniuses and powerful existences hiding in the shadow were shocked alike.

"Splash! Crash!" While everyone was speechless, the sound of crashing waves could be heard.

The water in the lake crazily spun as a Buddhist lotus slowly emerged from its depths. It was extremely holy and instilled awe in the hearts of the spectators.

"Buddhist lotus…" A cry came out after they saw this lotus coming out of the lake.

It quickly attracted everyone's attention. The crowd turned restless; different blood energies rushed to the sky and condensed into a terrifying mass above the plateau. It was an oceanic storm that could tear apart the sky at any moment!

Li Qiye smirked at the sight of the lotus flower. He was the first to take action as he walked towards it. At this second, it already belonged to him. No one else could take it.

"Boom!" But right when he got close, several people immediately took action. They were all experts that hid in the shadows, true masters. All of them were at least at the eternal existence level. One of them was even a God-Monarch.

And this was not the most terrifying part. An imperial aura that tore apart all things was among these invincible powers. An imperial weapon came forth and shattered myriad laws, forcing people down to their knees to worship!

"Imperial weapon…" The majority of the cultivators had already withdrawn far away after sensing the imperial aura. They didn't wish to participate in this competition since they couldn't even stand firm at this moment.

A God-Monarch ambushing with an imperial weapon. One could easily imagine how dreadful this attack was.

These big shots that had been hiding were all famous. However, they let go of their reputations and all launched a surprise attack towards Evil Buddha.

In their eyes, Evil Buddha's ability to banish a God-Monarch with one word was too frightening. Thus, they wanted to take the initiative and kill him before he could react.

"Amitabha." Li Qiye chanted. A boundless light blasted across space. The power of the entire plateau was taken by him no matter how vast it might be! At this time, he was the Buddhist Lord that controlled the entire plateau!

"Amitabha." With a loud shout like a Vajra subduing evil, the innumerable monks in this place all shouted. A torrential force of the dharma rushed out like a reversed waterfall. It guarded all the existences in this world.

"Boom!" The sky sent down a golden word — "Buddha." It had supreme power and crushed everything in the nine heavens and ten earths.

"Ah…" After screaming miserably, the several groups ambushing Li Qiye were instantly crushed by this supreme Buddhist word. Blood and flesh spilled all over the place. From start to finish, they never showed themselves. Even at the moment of death, the spectators didn't know who they were. After all, they died without leaving behind a corpse remaining, let alone a grave.

"Bang!" The imperial aura exploded in the sky. Among the ambushers, only the God-Monarch survived. His imperial weapon managed to block the word "Buddha". However, he was crazily vomiting blood while everyone could hear the sound of bones snapping.

I thought it would be tail/stinger here. ↩
