Dragon-Marked War God

Endless Buddhist power kept surging out, spreading through the Monk Tyrant’s body and flowing to every limb and bone, to every part of him. The Buddhist power was like an unmatched belief. It was the power of the Buddha’s thought, the power of all living beings of the Buddhist Realm.

From the moment the Monk Tyrant swallowed the relic, his heart had been extremely pure and clear, because he knew how terrifying this relic was. It might very well make him explode and die. He had long since prepared for everything, whether he lived or died. Even if he had to die, he would die before Jiang Chen.

The moment Jiang Chen gave him the relic, the Monk Tyrant had already made up his mind. He would never let Little Chen down. Little Chen had even placed his final hope entirely on him. This was trust, and even more, it was the silent bond between brothers.

No one could understand the brotherhood between the two of them. Each wanted to leave the hope of living to the other, to the person they cared about most.

To the Monk Tyrant, the essence of the Buddhist aura in the relic was like an endless power of thought. It could make his Buddhist aura even stronger, make his heart as clear as a mirror, and bring about a qualitative transformation in his realm.

The Monk Tyrant kept absorbing and devouring the relic. His strength did not make any great progress, but his soul realm advanced by leaps and bounds. It rose directly from the soul realm of a Half-step Divine Emperor to the soul realm of a Mid Divine Emperor. It was an indescribable leap, far more terrifying than an increase in strength.

The essence of the Buddhist aura in the relic raised the Monk Tyrant’s soul realm again and again and changed his control over the Buddhist aura again and again. It was like a sublimation of thought. That was the real transformation.

The Monk Tyrant felt that his eyes could even sweep across the Six Realms and see through heaven and earth. He could see through all the illusions around him, see the greed, anger, joy, rage and malice of the world, and see the passing of years flowing by like a great river.

“So this is the benefit of raising the soul realm?”

The Monk Tyrant murmured to himself. At this moment, the relic in his body completely vanished, turning into wave after wave of formless Buddhist power that spread through every part of the Monk Tyrant’s body. That soul-stirring feeling made him extremely exhilarated, extremely delighted and extremely excited. The Monk Tyrant’s strength had not increased much, but he could see through demons and monsters and see through the good and evil in people’s hearts. There was no doubt about the power of that relic.

Huge waves surged in the Monk Tyrant’s heart. He could not believe that the relic had brought him such great benefits. Whose relic was it? An Arhat envoy of the Buddhist faith? A Bodhisattva worshipped with the incense of tens of thousands? Or a great power of the Buddhist Realm who had already become a Buddha?

The Monk Tyrant had no way of knowing any of this. But one thing he knew very clearly was that after fusing with this relic, he had been completely reborn. He was no longer the Monk Tyrant of before. From now on, his vision would be higher and his strength would be greater. He would stand at the peak of the Buddhist Realm, looking down on all living beings.

“Amitabha. Thank you, Buddha!”

The Monk Tyrant’s heart was full of gratitude. To have the Buddha in one’s heart is true devotion.

“Last strike. Let’s see how much strength you have left to resist us!”

Dou Bai roared as he charged at the front. The great protective formation Jiang Chen had set up was already riddled with holes at this moment. With Dou Bai joining in, things were getting harder and harder, and it might collapse completely at any moment. The protective formation had only lasted until now because Jiang Chen was using his own body as the formation. It could be said that all this time had been bought with Jiang Chen’s life. No matter what the final result was, Jiang Chen had no complaints and no regrets. He believed the Monk Tyrant would not let him down either.

“Get lost!”

Jiang Chen roared furiously and threw a punch with the force of a thunderbolt, shaking all directions. The protective formation turned into ripple after ripple and spread out. Dou Bai’s face went deathly pale and he staggered back. Jiang Chen was no exception either. He too slowly retreated, step by unsteady step, nearly falling over. He had already used every ounce of strength in his body. This was the strength of his last strike. Whether he could stop them no longer mattered. Jiang Chen had done what he should do.

“You’ve lost. You finally lost after all. Hahaha. Jiang Chen, even though I can’t kill you and can’t avenge my uncle and the two elders of the Battle God Clan, you won’t be any better off. You’re bound to die a very ugly death. Humph.”

Dou Bai wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. He and Jiang Chen were both at the end of their rope, but he had a way back, while Jiang Chen had nowhere left to go.

“In the end, you still can’t kill me.”

Jiang Chen looked at Dou Bai with a cold smile.

“You people of the Battle God Clan are all a bunch of trash, and you’re no exception.”

“You—you’re just all talk. Is that all you can do? It looks like you’re nothing special after all. What use is it however strong you are? Aren’t you still going to end up as cannon fodder? You think man can conquer heaven and you can change all this? Pah! Jiang Chen, today is the day you die. But I, Dou Bai, won’t die. I’ll watch you die slowly. Hahaha.”

Dou Bai said with extreme arrogance. He had done his best. Helping the two great Venerables of Kasyapa Temple break the formation as quickly as possible was the only thing he could do, and the only means of changing the course of the battle. He wanted Jiang Chen to die without a burial place. He wanted the elders of the Battle God Clan to be completely laid to rest, with no regrets, so that they would no longer be wandering ghosts.

“Benefactor Dou, step aside. Now it’s time for us brothers to make our move.”

Venerable Jianan and Venerable Anan seized the moment and rose up. Two supremely powerful attacks forced Jiang Chen completely back. At this moment, the protective formation finally vanished completely and turned to dust.

“No one can stop the steps of my Kasyapa Temple.”

Venerable Jianan said coldly. His gaze blazed like a torch and locked onto Jiang Chen’s eyes, a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

“Just a cornered beast putting up a last fight. The weak will never be qualified to stand here.”

Venerable Anan took a step forward. His palm wind turned into thunder, surging without end and roaring. It sent Jiang Chen flying. Jiang Chen struck out with a palm, retreating in order to advance, but every step was full of danger, and he had become extremely battered. Venerable Anan had made up his mind to kill Jiang Chen. He wanted to tear Jiang Chen into ten thousand pieces to vent his hatred. If not for him, they would have succeeded long ago. But he had gotten in the way, set up the protective formation and held out for a full seven days and seven nights, which had cost them a great deal too.

Golden light overflowed and Buddhist light surged. Venerable Anan pressed closer and closer to Jiang Chen. The terrifying waves of qi made the whole Spirit Vulture Cave extremely hot and extremely oppressive. Everyone was murmuring silently in their hearts, sighing inwardly. Was Jiang Chen, this demon king who had thrown the world into chaos, a devil just like the Reincarnated Living Buddha, finally going to die?

The attack surged, dominating heaven and earth. Between life and death, it hung by a thread!

“Boom!”

An incomparable Buddhist qi rippled out. A white figure appeared in front of Jiang Chen and directly blocked Venerable Anan’s attack. The pressure throughout the whole Spirit Vulture Cave vanished along with it.

“Little Chen, I’m back.”
