Dragon-Marked War God

While the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole waited behind. The experts of Kasyapa Temple had waited until the very last moment to make their move, which could be said to show great patience. After all, no one could be sure whether there would be other experts lying in wait after them. But now that all the great temples had gathered here, it was a foregone conclusion that they would be the final victors.

“Amitabha. You’re right. In the Divine World, strength is everything. There is no reason. Being weak is the original sin. That goes for you too, because before long, you will be the first one here to die.”

Venerable Jianan said in an icy voice. Jiang Chen had appeared out of nowhere and stood in their way. Only by sweeping everything aside and clearing away every obstacle could they laugh proudly at the end. To them, Jiang Chen was only an arrogant, wicked troublemaker. He could not possibly change the current situation. He did not have the ability, nor did he have the momentum. As he was now, badly wounded, it was already quite remarkable that he had pulled the Monk Tyrant away right in front of Venerable Jianan and the others. But rescuing all of them would be as hard as climbing to heaven!

“Monk, catch!”

Jiang Chen paid them no attention and casually tossed the relic straight to the Monk Tyrant.

In an instant, powerful divine origin strength filled the whole Spirit Vulture Cave. The Monk Tyrant looked at the relic in his hand, completely dumbfounded. He knew better than anyone how terrifying this relic was.

The Monk Tyrant could not help but swallow. This relic was in a completely different league from the relics he had seen before. Its surging divine origin strength went without saying. What was most terrifying was the incredibly powerful serene force within the relic, the so-called Buddhist aura, long and lingering, endless and inexhaustible! If he devoured this relic, it would surely bring him a huge transformation. Strength was secondary. Once he obtained the immensely powerful Buddhist aura within this relic, it would surely let the Monk Tyrant soar to new heights, far above his own actual strength.

“What a terrifying relic! This…”

Wu De the Enlightened’s face turned ashen. The moment the relic appeared, everyone’s eyes lit up, even turning a little bloodshot, because every one of them could sense the powerful Buddhist aura in that relic. It was very likely a relic left behind by a Bodhisattva who had passed into nirvana. Wu De the Enlightened had once seen the relic left behind by the Arhat Progenitor of his own temple after he passed away, and it was far less pure and terrifying than this one! That incredibly vast Buddhist aura gave them all a sudden feeling of comfort through their whole bodies.

Everyone looked coldly at Jiang Chen and the Monk Tyrant. These two were simply a pair of clowns. With such a terrifying relic, even if they themselves had gotten it, they would not dare to devour it lightly. Otherwise, they might very well explode and die.

“Where did you get this relic?”

Wuyin the Enlightened demanded in a deep voice, staring straight at Jiang Chen.

“What the hell does it matter to you where I got it? What right do you have to question me? You pile of trash.”

Jiang Chen said with disdain and turned to look at the Monk Tyrant.

“This is our last chance. If you can completely devour the relic and recover your strength, maybe we can get out of here.”

Jiang Chen’s words moved the Monk Tyrant deeply. How precious this relic was went without saying, and Jiang Chen had given it to him without even thinking. Moreover, this was their last hope!

Between brothers, no words were needed.

“We won’t die. We definitely won’t die!”

The Monk Tyrant gripped the relic tightly in his hand. This was their last shred of hope. As long as he could break through, everything would turn around.

Even Venerable Jianan took a deep breath. The value of this relic was not necessarily any less than that of the God Suppressing Monument. If they obtained this relic, perhaps it would be even more substantial.

“We absolutely cannot let him devour that relic. We must have this relic.”

Venerable Jianan glanced at Venerable Anan beside him, and the latter nodded heavily. Their chance had come. They had not expected that at this last moment they would get such a formidable relic along with the God Suppressing Monument. They reckoned that relic had been left behind by a supreme figure of the Buddhist faith at least at the level of a Bodhisattva. It was not to be underestimated. Once they obtained it, it would surely become a supreme treasure of their sect.

“Kid, it seems you have quite a few treasures on you. I’ll take this relic.”

Venerable Anan narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Jiang Chen, ready to strike at any moment.

“Then go ahead and try. Let’s see who can get past me, Jiang Chen. Haha.”

Jiang Chen stood proudly. No one was going to get past the protective formation.

“Just a cornered beast putting up a last fight.”

Venerable Jianan said in a deep voice. The two of them did not hold back at all and charged straight in, trying to break Jiang Chen’s protective formation. Both of them used seventy percent of their strength and pressed straight at the formation. Two terrifying palm prints came down from the sky and struck Jiang Chen’s protective formation, but they did not stir up a single ripple.

In that moment, everyone’s expression changed drastically. Jiang Chen’s protective formation was far too abnormal, wasn’t it? Even with the two great experts of Kasyapa Temple attacking together, there was no way to break this protective formation. Most importantly, Jiang Chen’s strength was less than a tenth of what it had been. How could he still hold up such a terrifying great formation?

“This…”

Wuyin the Enlightened and the others silently watched the scene, almost unable to believe it. This freak Jiang Chen was truly too surprising, too shocking. The protective formation was actually as solid as an impregnable fortress.

“I didn’t expect that we had underestimated you. This protective formation really is something.”

Venerable Jianan’s expression was cold, but inside, huge waves were surging. He could not show it at this time at all. Otherwise, throwing his own side into disarray would be no good thing. If that bunch wanted to take advantage of the chaos and profit from it, it would be even harder to deal with. After all, although the strength of Wuyin the Enlightened, Wu De the Enlightened and the others had been greatly reduced, Xuanyuan Yumo and the others still had the strength to fight. Now they had to think things through carefully.

Venerable Jianan and Venerable Anan exchanged a glance and understood each other. They had to use their real abilities. Otherwise, breaking the formation really would not be easy.

“I want to see how long you can hold out. This formation needs you to sustain it, and your strength is the best proof of that. Hahaha.”

Venerable Anan said with a loud laugh, and only then did everyone’s hearts calm down a little. After all, Jiang Chen’s strength right now was far too weak. To sustain such a powerful protective formation, he would surely have to fight with his life. And could his life really last until the end? That was far from certain.

“Then go on with your performance.”

Jiang Chen swallowed a mouthful of turbid breath. His internal organs were churning violently. Venerable Anan was quite right. Jiang Chen could not avoid this. He needed his strength to sustain this protective formation, but how long he could sustain it was unknown.

At this moment, the Monk Tyrant had already begun cultivating. He swallowed the relic straight into his stomach. At that sight, Venerable Jianan and the others’ expressions changed drastically.
