Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 981: Buddha Flame Root!

With his ultimate divine skill, Ye Yun forcefully extracted all the silver needles, as fine as cow's hair, that had been suppressing the young boy in plain clothes.

These silver needles contained an immense Buddha light.

Bang!

Once dislodged, the silver needles instantly lost control. The Buddha light scattered chaotically, colliding with itself like an exploding sun, unleashing formidable power that swept across the surroundings like a tidal wave.

"Not good!"

All the powerful cultivators were shocked. They hastily employed various divine skills and treasures to withstand the onslaught of the vast Buddha light.

Whoosh!

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor suddenly waved his hand, and a potent formation rose around the lake.

The formation rumbled as it activated.

It forcibly contained all the spreading Buddha light.

The Buddha light, initially blocked by the cultivators and then by the formation, was prevented from spreading outwards.

Otherwise,

even the ordinary cultivators beyond the immediate area would not have escaped certain death.

"What just happened? Why did the Jade Buddha Sect's Buddha Child attack all of us?"

Many experts in the God King Realm were still in shock, hurriedly gazing towards a specific point in the void.

At this moment, the boy in plain clothes no longer exuded any Buddha intent. He stood motionless in the void, his eyes slightly closed.

And opposite him, Yan Fu from the Holy Buddha Sect was miraculously unharmed.

"How is this Divine Monarch Realm guy still alive?"

Everyone was astonished, finding it utterly inconceivable that such a powerful Buddha light attack had not harmed this young cultivator of the Divine Monarch Realm.

"Has Ye Chen's cultivation base always been hidden from me?"

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman looked at Ye Yun, equally stunned.

The same was true for the Yoga Godlord.

The Buddha light had been overwhelmingly fierce, forcing everyone to focus solely on self-protection.

No one was in a position to assist Ye Yun.

The Yoga Godlord, her face pale, whispered, "Saintess, could it be that he is actually of the God King Realm?"

"Perhaps..."

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman replied softly.

She gazed at Ye Yun, uncertain of exactly what had just transpired.

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor's expression grew as dark as water.

He finally grasped the sequence of events.

That young cultivator of the Divine Monarch Realm had employed some sort of devious technique to draw out all the Buddha light they had suppressed within Yan Fu's body.

This generated a massive wave of attack.

The boy in plain clothes, now free from the Buddhist law's suppression, had reverted to his original Yan Fu state.

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor's heart felt as though it were bleeding.

The Jade Buddha Sect had painstakingly employed this suppression method for millions of years to save Yan Fu.

Unexpectedly, it had all been undone.

"Sect Master..."

The hunchbacked old monk stood beside the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, trembling with rage.

Just as the Oracle Buddha Ancestor was about to speak, the boy in plain clothes suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze was exceptionally fierce.

Sending an icy chill down one's spine.

"Ha ha... Jade Buddha Sect, how dare you suppress me for so many years, nearly converting me. You truly possess remarkable methods!"

A cold laugh echoed from the boy in plain clothes.

Suppression?

All the surrounding powerful cultivators, upon hearing the boy's words, seemed to achieve understanding.

It became clear that the immense Buddha light had been concealed within this Yan Fu's body, serving to quell his ferocity.

"Saintess, this Jade Buddha Sect is utterly shameless. Such a suppression-style redemption is truly deceitful!"

The Yoga Godlord whispered.

"Hmph! The Jade Buddha Sect never truly converted this Yan Fu; their Buddhist law remains incredibly weak!"

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman nodded, a cold smile gracing her lips.

Similar exchanges between the two could be observed on nearly every Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus.

All the powerful cultivators engaged in hushed discussions amongst themselves.

The assembled crowd clearly harbored considerable resentment towards the Jade Buddha Sect's coercive suppression tactic.

The murmur of these discussions soon reached the ears of the Jade Buddha Sect members.

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor's face turned a livid shade.

He fixed his gaze upon the boy in plain clothes, raising his hand and growling, "So what if we suppressed you? Our Jade Buddha Sect possessed the power to suppress you before, and we can do so again!"

"Heh heh, I discerned your Jade Buddha Sect's ploy long ago; it is absolutely impossible for you to suppress me again!"

The boy in plain clothes sneered coldly.

He shifted his gaze, locking onto the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor.

"Come!"

With a sweep of his hand, the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor was instantly rendered uncontrollable, transforming into a beam of light and descending before him.

"Greetings, my lord!"

The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor bowed his head, displaying extreme deference.

"Excellent, you appeared at the perfect moment!"

The youth clad in simple attire offered a faint smile. In the ensuing moment, the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor manifested as a streak of light, integrating into his being.

The plain-clothed youth's unparalleled divine dragon breath surged with sudden intensity.

His cultivation had initially been at the First Level of the God King Realm.

However, after merging with the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, he inexplicably advanced to the Second Layer of the God King Realm.

"So this is the true essence of the Buddha Flame!"

A God King Realm expert let out a sudden cry of astonishment.

Upon the Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus, the hunchbacked elder monk, his expression one of shock, queried, "Sect Master, how could this Yan Fu possibly be the root essence of the Buddha Flame?"

"I possess no knowledge of this matter!"

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor vehemently shook his head, his countenance turning frigid.

How could the Yan Fu dispatched by the Eternal Divine Hall be the very root essence of the Buddha Flame?

This turn of events had truly surpassed all his expectations.

The profound and terrifying nature of the Buddha Flame was something he understood all too well.

Its life force was inexhaustible; it was nigh impossible to extinguish.

Should this essence manage to escape the confines of the Jade Buddha Cave Sky, its recapture would be an insurmountable task.

Unless the Eternal Divine Hall were to intervene, only then might the root essence of the Buddha Flame be apprehended.

Boom!

A deafening explosion reverberated through the air.

The body of the simple-clothed youth suddenly emitted a loud, cracking sound.

Coincident with this explosive noise, his slender form dissipated.

Within the void.

A cluster of earth-toned roots materialized, thrashing wildly in the emptiness, each one resembling a powerful dragon.

Adorning these roots was a layer of white flame, which spread outwards.

At this precise moment.

The plain-clothed youth finally unveiled his true form: the root essence of the Buddha Flame.

"Ahhhh!"

The Buddha Flame roots shrieked with unbridled fury, vowing with intense hatred, "Today, I shall drench the Jade Buddha Cave Sky in blood to satiate the vengeance within my heart!"

Hiss hiss!

The roots writhed like dragons in the void, exuding an aura of sheer terror.

Abruptly.

Hiss...

A particularly thick root, reminiscent of a golden dragon, lunged forward towards its target.

Its initial objective was Ye Yun, who happened to be in close proximity.

"I offered you salvation, you wretch, and you dare to attack me?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, his voice laced with icy disdain.

"Perish, all of you must perish! Hahaha!"

The Buddha Flame root cackled maniacally, showing no signs of halting its onslaught.

"This entity has lost all semblance of reason, trapped in a state of utter frenzy..."

After a brief period of observation, Ye Yun mused silently to himself.

With this realization dawning upon him, Ye Yun swiftly drew his sword, unleashing a decisive strike without hesitation.

A flash of sword light illuminated the area.

That formidable root was severed in the blink of an eye.

"Ah—"

The Buddha Flame root emitted a piercing wail of agony.

"This young man possesses no meager abilities; he has been concealing his cultivation base all along. Who exactly is he?"

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor's expression darkened considerably, his gaze flickered with calculation as he subtly manipulated the formation, his mind racing with schemes.

The unforeseen events of this day had irrevocably shattered the Jade Buddha Sect's efforts spanning millions of years.

Should the Buddha Flame root manage to escape, they would be unable to provide an adequate explanation to the Eternal Divine Hall in the future.

Furthermore, that Yan Fu from the Holy Buddha Sect, who had masqueraded as a powerful expert, might prove advantageous in confronting the Buddha Flame root first.

Once both combatants had sustained significant losses.

The Jade Buddha Sect could then unleash their decisive force, swiftly subduing both remnants individually.

"Two Yan Fus..."

Pondering this strategic maneuver, the Oracle Buddha Ancestor felt a complex mixture of emotions surge within him.
