Dragon-Marked War God

Although the Buddha light moon-wheel put him very much on the defensive, it was not enough to suppress him.

“Buddha’s Light Shines on All!”

A thought stirred in Jiang Chen’s mind, and he struck out a palm seal. Buddha’s Light Shines on All burst out with great force, startling everyone. This guy actually knew a Buddhist technique? Buddha’s Light Shines on All was not something just anyone could use. Only the people of the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Lesser Thunderclap Temple could use it. But Jiang Chen’s Buddha’s Light Shines on All was clearly not strong enough. Its light was completely covered by the Buddha light moon-wheel, but it at least forced Scarlet Moon the Enlightened back.

“Amitabha, kill Jiang Chen! This guy must be in league with that Reincarnated Living Buddha. That guy also knows Buddha’s Light Shines on All.”

Wuyin the Enlightened’s eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice. Before this, he had heard that the Reincarnated Living Buddha could use Buddha’s Light Shines on All, and that his was clearly far more powerful than what Jiang Chen had used.

“What? That reincarnated fiend can also use Buddha’s Light Shines on All? Then these two must be in league.”

Shenyin the Enlightened echoed. At this time, Wuyin the Enlightened and the others finally made their move. All they wanted now was to capture Jiang Chen and get to the bottom of it, to find out exactly what his relationship with that so-called Reincarnated Living Buddha was.

With Wuyin the Enlightened, Shenyin the Enlightened and Yueyin the Enlightened joining in, Jiang Chen was instantly put on the defensive. At this moment, four experts at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm were crushing him together. Even with Jiang Chen’s great strength, he could hardly keep it up. Against one Half-step Divine Emperor, Jiang Chen had nothing to fear. Against two Half-step Divine Emperors, Jiang Chen could still fight. But against four of the best among Half-step Divine Emperors, how could Jiang Chen possibly win? So Jiang Chen could only avoid the fight and retreat, while at the same time quickly chasing after that green figure.

“After him. We absolutely can’t let this guy escape alive.”

Wuyin the Enlightened said.

“Amitabha. If I don’t slay this beast, how can I avenge my two junior brothers? This kid can’t be allowed to live. Absolutely not!”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened gnashed his teeth, hating him to the bone. Jiang Chen’s figure and that green figure disappeared one after the other behind the statue. When they went past the statue, they suddenly discovered that it was a small world they could hardly believe, a small world inside the ancient Buddha hall.

“It looks like this ancient Buddha hall is definitely not simple. There’s truly a whole world inside.”

Wei Xiaolong said in a deep voice, his expression grave. As an expert of Heaven Connection Divine Palace, he was the calmest one here at this moment, because he knew Jiang Chen had slain three Half-step Divine Emperors. He knew the whole of Profound Connection Divine Palace had been dealt a heavy blow, and that the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord had both died because of him.

But Wei Xiaolong had kept quiet the whole time. He knew Jiang Chen was not someone to provoke. He knew that in this battle, Jiang Chen would surely become the target of everyone. He had made too many enemies, and this was the retribution he deserved. On top of that, his strength was only Mid Hierarch, so he was bound to draw even more hatred. Wei Xiaolong only needed to be the outsider quietly watching.

At first, even Wei Xiaolong had not believed that Jiang Chen was the one who had turned Profound Connection Divine Palace upside down. The entire Profound Connection Divine Palace was all but completely ruined. If not for the lingering prestige of the Palace Lord who was traveling abroad, perhaps the forces around Profound Connection Divine Palace would have swallowed it up completely. Even three Half-step Divine Emperors of the Battle God Clan had been dragged into it. To Wei Xiaolong, it had sounded like a fairy tale. But when he saw this guy in front of him, he finally believed it.

Jiang Chen was a demon king who threw the world into chaos.

But no matter how strong he was, there would always be someone stronger. Especially now, in the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple, experts were as numerous as clouds and powerhouses kept appearing. Which of them was easy to deal with? Even if he had the ability to steal the creation of heaven and earth, fighting one against three, even one against five, so what? The Half-step Divine Emperor experts here were only stronger, not weaker, than those few old guys of the Battle God Clan. Even fifty Half-step Divine Emperors would not be out of the question. As long as he was still here, and as long as he could not keep quiet, he was bound to land himself in big trouble.

Because his strength was too weak and he drew far too much attention, this guy definitely had plenty of treasures on him. So Wei Xiaolong would be the final killer, the oriole waiting behind the mantis that stalked the cicada. For now, he only needed to follow behind Wuyin the Enlightened. After their great battle, he could profit from it.

“The Ancient Buddha Dipankara truly lives up to being the most powerful and most ancient Buddha of the ancient world. There’s actually such an astonishing small world in his divine hall. This small world is self-contained. There must be something remarkable here.”

Wei Xiaolong thought. Although he did not know much about the affairs of the Buddhist Realm, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara’s fame was simply too great. As the master of the Tathagata Buddha, he was the ancient Buddha with the highest seniority, the greatest strength and the loftiest status. That there was a self-contained small world in his hall was only to be expected.

Everyone filed in one after another from behind the statue of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and entered that self-contained small world.

But at the very moment all of them entered, the statue of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara actually began to collapse inch by inch…

“One flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi. The Ancient Buddha Dipankara could actually create his own small world. It’s simply unbelievable. Just what realm had he reached?”

Shenyin the Enlightened’s face was grave. Creating one’s own small world was completely the stuff of fairy tales. At least for them, it was something they did not even dare to think about. Even among the Great Emperor Realm experts of hundreds of millions of years ago, no one had heard of anyone who could create their own small world, yet the Ancient Buddha Dipankara had done it.

“Legend has it that those who open up a world of their own are experts who stand above all the heavens. The Ancient Buddha Dipankara must have been an expert of that level.”

Wuyin the Enlightened said enviously. The ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, the master of the Tathagata, the Buddha of the Three Ages, how could an ordinary person compare with him?

In the small world, Buddha light rippled and holy light surged like the tide. Hundreds and thousands of green trees were full of the vitality of spring. Mountain peaks rose one after another, and layers of water ripples flowed gently.

Although the small world was not big, it still stretched a thousand miles. Looking out over it, it was entirely a Buddha land shining with Buddha light, holding nothing but endless hope. This small world seemed to contain the Ancient Buddha Dipankara’s small vision of the great world, as if it were only an embryo waiting to be created.

On a distant mountain peak, a young man in a long grey robe sat cross-legged. He looked dispirited, his eyes closed in rest, his breath unstable. As it drifted, it seemed to be there one moment and gone the next. His breath could be cut off at any moment, and he could die at any time.

Beside that young man, a woman in green stood calmly. Her eyes were full of worry, but she faintly shielded the long-robed young man behind her, as if she did not want anyone to disturb his rest.

“I will never let anyone hurt you!”
