Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1792: Chapter 1339: Reception_2

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Accompanied by sounds like metal clashing, rings of golden ripples spread across the lotus leaves. Whether Divine Weapons or Divine Powers, the countless attacks were all blocked outside by this Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus Platform!

"Another Divine Artifact?! So this is the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus that Night Sect Leader mentioned earlier!"

"It so easily blocked the combined attacks of hundreds of us King Level! With such defensive power, it’s probably in no way inferior to Great Flame Country’s East Emperor Bell!"

"Since they have such a defensive supreme treasure, when those few Arhats fell earlier they still weren’t willing to bring it out? Heh, this Bodhi Sect really is cold-blooded toward their own people!"

The Blue Sea crowd looked at the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree above the Bodhi Followers, its Treasure Light washing everything, and at the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform under their feet radiating Golden Light. With such a formation, the true foundation of the Bodhi Sect that ruled the Western Continent was finally revealed.

Su Yuan immediately asked, "Master Zhan, what exactly did you mean just now by ’guiding in Outer Heaven’?"

Zhan Tianyi’s expression was extremely grim. Frowning, he said, "Although I’m not clear on the specifics, according to my calculations, it seems the Bodhi Followers intend to borrow the power of the Sky-reaching Divine Tree, using the Chaotic Star Domain as a springboard to guide power from beyond the realm into the Blue Sea!"

"That’s right." Nephthys looked at the Golden Ball in her palm, which was growing ever brighter, and agreed in a low, solemn voice.

"Outer Heaven’s power? You mean people from other worlds—who are they trying to bring in?!"

At the side, Ye Xiaose frowned and picked up the thread: "From what I know, the two Bodhi Sect Hierarchs don’t seem to be native Emperor Level of our Blue Sea Realm. The Bodhi Sect also appears to be a force that spans the All Heavens. Perhaps... he’s guiding in other Bodhi Followers from Outer Heaven!"

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts jolted. The Bodhi Sect actually intended to do such a thing?!

Although none of those present were very clear about the current state of the Great Thousand Universe.

But Blue Sea Star is a Big World, and moreover one that has just stepped into "adulthood," rapidly advancing toward its peak as a Big World.

To the outside, this is very likely a new world whose Strength has yet to fully develop but with immense potential—in other words, a delectable prize!

While the overall Strength of the Blue Sea Realm has not yet risen in step with its world Level, while the people of the Blue Sea are still not strong enough to guard the Blue Sea Realm, if it is lightly exposed to other Big Worlds that are already "mature," it will undoubtedly be a colossal catastrophe for the Blue Sea Realm.

This could be countless times worse than the Grey Realm!

"We must stop them!" Ling Xiao said in a deep voice.

Su Yuan asked gravely, "How many people can they guide in, and at what Level?"

Zhan Tianyi looked toward the Guiding Channel opened by the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree atop the Sky-reaching Divine Tree and said solemnly, "The stronger a lifeform is, the harder it is to cross a world’s barrier. At first it may only be King Level, but later... even an Emperor Level descending is not impossible!"

Everyone’s hearts sank slightly; they knew Zhan Tianyi was right.

The Bodhi Sect had lain in ambush for so long, and now did not hesitate to incur the shared wrath of the East and South continents. It was absolutely not merely for a few King Levels.

Their target was at least Emperor Level; several Emperors might even be possible!

As long as they could guide down a few Emperors, so what if the Chaotic Star Domain shattered on the spot?

Divine Thought transmission was extremely fast; everyone quickly understood the current situation.

"Everyone, attack together!"

"Even a top Defensive Divine Artifact cannot continually withstand the assault of so many King Level experts!"

Everyone unleashed their attacks without reservation once more. The sky was filled with Divine Powers and Divine Weapons, continuously bombarding the Merit Golden Lotus, stirring up waves of ripples.

Meanwhile, the Bodhi Followers sat cross-legged atop the Golden Lotus, palms pressed together, empowering the Golden Lotus, truly Invulnerable to Ten Thousand Techniques.

The East Emperor Bell is both offense and defense, leaning toward defense yet still capable of attacking;

but the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus is a purely defensive supreme treasure. Even Divine Arts find it hard to shatter it in one blow, not to mention that everyone had already exhausted their methods and their states had plummeted after repeatedly clashing with the Six Paths Ring and Emperor Gui.

Nor was that all. Wu Chi formed a Seal Technique with his hands and, standing atop the Merit Golden Lotus, slowly began chanting a Buddhist Scripture: "The Buddha said to Ananda: As you asked regarding the differences in retribution received—these all arise because in past lives their minds were used differently, and thus what they now receive differs in a thousand ways..."

Countless scripture characters turned into tiny Sanskrit sigils that, under the reflection of the Golden Light from the Merit Golden Lotus, spread outward toward everyone in all directions.

Wherever the Buddhist Scripture reached, wherever the Golden Light passed, the Blue Sea experts who were still continuously attacking all abruptly froze in place.

Some of their eyes went vacant and their attacks halted suddenly;

some widened their eyes, covered their ears with both hands, their faces twisted in struggle.

For a moment, most of the King Level Experts present seemed to fall into mental Chaos, losing the ability to attack.

Even the various Ninth Stage masters were all affected to a certain extent, a faint reluctance to attack the Bodhi Followers actually rising in their hearts.

Among the crowd, Mu Kexian’s eyes remained icy cold, utterly unmoved. Ye Xiaose, Ma Liang, Pang Hai and other experts who cultivated the Soul Path also quickly came back to themselves, and Su Yuan, Lou Zhen and others who grasped Mythical Sword Intent easily broke free of the influence.

Ling Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Just by chanting a Buddhist Scripture, he easily controlled most people? The Bodhi Sect’s Magic Techniques are truly bizarre to the extreme!"

As Wu Chi chanted the Buddhist Scripture, another voice fell into everyone’s ears.

"This is the ’Good and Evil Will Be Rewarded’ Heart Sutra. The more they have benefited from my sect’s grace, the harder it is for them to give rise to hostility toward my sect... Those with exceptionally high comprehension might even gain great enlightenment on the spot and directly convert to my sect."

"You damned bald donkey, what utter bullshit!"

Sect Master Yang, whose brows were throbbing with dizziness under the interference of the scripture, cursed outright. As he leapt into the air, infinite Power of Light gathered around him. He unleashed the Ninth Grade Divine Power Infinite Holy Yang and struck toward Wu Chi.

However, Treasure Light flowed over the Merit Golden Lotus; with just a slight tremor it easily blocked the attack.

The remaining experts like Ye Xiaose, Reinhardt, Long and many others no longer cared about resting or recovering, and continued to rain blows upon the Merit Golden Lotus!

If the Bodhi Sect really managed to guide down a host of Outer Heaven Bodhi Sect King Levels... or even Emperors, with everyone’s current state, how could they possibly withstand it?

"East Emperor Bell!"

Ling Xiao, whose aura was extremely withered, mustered the little Strength he had just recovered and, gritting his teeth, sacrificed the East Emperor Bell to crash into the Merit Golden Lotus!

As the East Emperor Bell expanded against the wind, surging forward with immense force and momentum, just as it was about to slam into the Merit Golden Lotus, the Golden Lotus’s Divine Light gave a Flash, and several more figures appeared.

Among them, a lean, sharp-eyed man whose entire body shone like golden Liu Li stepped forward. As he leapt into the air, he smashed a heavy punch into the East Emperor Bell.

"Dong!!"

With a thunderous boom, the man was immediately shaken back into the Merit Golden Lotus, cracks splitting open on his fist;

but the East Emperor Bell’s Spirit Light also dimmed and it was knocked back.

Wutian said, "Junior brother Wu Fa, junior brother Wu Chen, you’ve come."

Wu Fa, who had just struck, unclenched his fingers, the damage on the back of his hand rapidly healing under Golden Light: "Senior brothers, we arrived late."

Wu Chi smiled and said, "Not late—just in time."

Beside him, the burly Wu Chen, whose eyes were like copper bells, looked toward Gao Tian’s Sky-reaching Divine Tree and the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, rather excited as he said, "Looks like the two senior brothers have already succeeded!"

"Another two Heavenly Kings!"

The Blue Sea crowd sized up the newcomers, and it wasn’t hard to see that the two leading them were precisely the remaining two of the Bodhi Sect’s Four Great Heavenly Kings!

Behind the two stood the remaining Arhats.

Thus, aside from the few Arhats who had fallen to Zi Yue, the Four Great Heavenly Kings and Twelve Arhats were now all present.

"Looks like these fake-compassionate bald donkeys from the West Continent really came fully prepared..." Pang Hai snorted coldly, his eyes displaying undisguised disgust toward the Bodhi Sect.

Lou Zhen nodded and said in a solemn voice, "With the Bodhi Sect sending out two Divine Artifacts, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, and Twelve Arhats all together, while we’ve gone through a great battle and expended so much, they won’t be easy to deal with."

Everyone was talking at once.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan’s gaze swept ever so subtly over a sallow-faced Arhat among the Bodhi Followers. He then slightly lowered his head and, as though speaking to himself, murmured softly, "Is everyone ready?"

The next moment, Ma Liang’s Heavenly Demon Transmission sounded in Su Yuan’s mind:

"We’ve long been ready, just awaiting your word, brother!"
