Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 984: Formless Tree

"Aha, an excellent question!"

The Dragon Tree Buddha, hearing Ye Yun's inquiry, responded with a serene smile, his head nodding gently.

Indeed, this enigmatic figure who had managed the extraordinary feat of cultivating into a Purple Buddha possessed considerable prowess.

"Did you breach the seal within the Buddha Flame Root?"

Ye Yun's gaze narrowed infinitesimally as he posed this question with an air of indifference.

"Precisely!"

The Dragon Tree Buddha answered without hesitation, his tone forthright.

He offered no denial; rather, his candor suggested a sense of justification, as if the Dragon Tree Buddha was now prepared to lay bare every secret.

Their exchange sparked a profound commotion amongst the assembled crowd.

"Could this be the fabled Dragon Tree Buddha?"

"Is he not the sole Purple Buddha within the entirety of the Divine Land?"

"How could he possibly have been resurrected?"

"Why do I feel an overwhelming sense of dread..."

Every powerful cultivator present, upon catching wind of their dialogue, could not suppress the astonishment that flooded their features.

The Dragon Tree Buddha—

Renowned as the singular Purple Buddha in the Divine Land, his accomplishments on the Buddhist Path were unparalleled.

He had been deceased for an unfathomable ten million years.

Therefore, how could his revival possibly be?

At this juncture, the multitude of experts exchanged bewildered glances, as if trapped in a surreal dreamscape, utterly incapable of discerning the boundary between reality and illusion.

"Sect Master, this Dragon Tree Buddha..."

The hunched elder monk of the Jade Buddha Sect inquired in a hushed tone.

"This individual... appears to be the Dragon Tree Buddha, but by what means has he been revived?"

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor's brow furrowed in deep contemplation.

The cascade of extraordinary events unfolding today had utterly shattered his prior expectations.

Everything had spiraled completely out of his control.

Confronted by a Purple Buddha from millennia past, even with the formidable formation array of the Jade Buddha Sect at his disposal, maintaining command of the present situation proved exceedingly difficult.

"Alas, even the Dragon Tree Buddha has returned from death; what in the heavens has befallen this world?"

The Yoga Godlord mused aloud, his voice tinged with bewilderment.

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman's delicate brows knitted together as her gaze fixed upon the Dragon Tree Buddha, an unsettling premonition suddenly gripping her heart.

What had begun as a confrontation between two Yinfuti had now dramatically escalated.

The current tableau had morphed into a standoff between two Purple Buddhas.

And now, an intense, earth-shattering battle seemed poised to erupt imminently.

This abrupt and unforeseen turn of events, impossible to truly grasp without experiencing it firsthand, was profoundly shocking.

Ye Yun regarded the Dragon Tree Buddha, his gaze piercing like a pair of sharpened swords.

He inquired with practiced indifference, "Dragon Tree Buddha, what is your purpose in unilaterally unsealing the Buddha Flame Root?"

"You possess such keen intellect; do you truly not comprehend the underlying reason?"

A sneer played on the Dragon Tree Buddha's lips.

Ye Yun's expression faltered slightly; this infuriating Dragon Tree Buddha was a master of obfuscation and riddle-speak.

How could he possibly ascertain the nature of the Dragon Tree Buddha's connection to the Buddha Flame Root?

"Very well, this deeply guarded secret, concealed for so many ages, shall at last be unveiled to the world!"

After a brief period of contemplation, the Dragon Tree Buddha suddenly proclaimed with a booming voice.

Upon hearing this declaration.

Every individual in the vicinity instinctively perked up their ears, their gazes fixed intently on the Dragon Tree Buddha.

All were consumed by an insatiable curiosity to unravel the mystery linking the Buddha Flame Root with the Dragon Tree Buddha.

"Speak, I am all attention."

Ye Yun casually flicked his sword, a light laugh escaping his lips.

Despite the Dragon Tree Buddha's formidable power, Ye Yun did not perceive him as a genuine threat.

Even if the Infinite Light Buddha Lord of the Infinite Buddha Land were to manifest in person, Ye Yun would remain entirely unfazed.

The Dragon Tree Buddha shifted his posture slightly, his previously gentle gaze now settling upon the Buddha Flame Root.

The Buddha Flame Root continued its violent writhing, while the two severed sections of its main root rapidly began to fuse.

Buzz!

A tremor ran through the Dragon Tree Buddha's form as he suddenly emitted a resplendent radiance from his entire being.

This was a magnificent, noble, purple Buddha light.

These ethereal purple beams flowed like liquid, gently cascading down upon the Buddha Flame Root.

The violently contorting Buddha Flame Root abruptly ceased its thrashing, becoming unnaturally still.

"Dragon Tree Buddha, are you attempting to deliver the Buddha Flame Root?"

One of the God King experts questioned, his voice laced with astonishment.

The Dragon Tree Buddha offered no direct reply to these queries; instead, he took a deliberate step forward, entering the core root system of the Buddha Flame Root.

Bathed in the encompassing purple Buddha light, his physical form commenced to meld with the main root, observed by the multitude of onlookers.

"This cannot be..."

Ye Yun himself was taken aback, uncertain of the Dragon Tree Buddha's ultimate intention.

The act of 'delivery' seemed fundamentally misapplied.

Why would a perfectly formed Purple Buddha choose to merge with the malevolent essence of the Buddha Flame Root?

Mere moments later, the Dragon Tree Buddha had completely fused with the Buddha Flame Root.

Post-fusion, the main root of the Buddha Flame Root, previously severed by Ye Yun, was now seamlessly reconnected, utilizing the Dragon Tree Buddha's body as the connecting medium.

Those root structures, their sheer volume began to diminish at an accelerated pace.

Furthermore, the Dragon Tree Buddha's legs gradually transformed, taking on a form strikingly similar to that of the Buddha Flame Root.

From a distance, he now resembled an upright, tree-like humanoid.

The Dragon Tree Buddha surveyed the stunned assembly, utterly unfazed by their shocked gazes.

He clasped his hands together and declared with a booming voice, "To tell you the truth, my real form is the Formless Tree, and this Buddha Flame Root is my root system. Separated for ten million years, we are finally reunited!"

"Formless Tree?"

Ye Yun blinked in surprise; he had never encountered this name before.

Glancing around, he noticed numerous individuals sharing his bewildered expression, indicating that almost no one recognized the Formless Tree.

"Luo Ye, have you heard of the Formless Tree?"

Ye Yun inquired mentally.

"Never heard of it," the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman replied swiftly.

Ye Yun pondered deeply. As the Saintess of the Holy Buddha Sect, her knowledge should be vast. The fact that even she was unaware of the Formless Tree suggested it possessed a profoundly ancient history.

"You all need not rack your brains; within this Divine Land, those who know of the Formless Tree can likely be counted on one hand!" Dragon Tree Buddha proclaimed with a smile.

Having spoken, Dragon Tree Buddha abruptly advanced towards Ye Yun.

"I shall apprehend you for a proper interrogation, to ascertain from where you acquired your Buddhist Law!" Dragon Tree Buddha sneered, extending a hand toward Ye Yun.

A flash of sword light streaked through the air.

Ye Yun made his move.

Boom!

The sword connected with Dragon Tree Buddha’s hand with a resounding impact.

Dragon Tree Buddha’s arm, shimmering with a purple-bronze hue and radiating Buddhist light, remained entirely unharmed by the sword strike.

"As expected of the Formless Tree, this physique is indeed formidable!" Ye Yun commented with a faint smile, then charged forward with his sword.

"You are merely passable!" Dragon Tree Buddha retorted with a sneer, unleashing a torrent of purple light as he engaged Ye Yun in combat.

"No wonder he is a Purple Buddha..."

Many God King Experts, enveloped by the purple Buddhist radiance, felt an uncontrollable urge to bow in reverence.

Even the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, possessing the highest cultivation among them, was not exempt from this compulsion.

Boom!

Ye Yun unleashed a heavy slash, the sheer force propelling Dragon Tree Buddha backward like a projectile.

Like a falling meteor, Dragon Tree Buddha slammed forcefully into the protective formation.

Boom!

The formation shuddered violently, and a gaping hole instantly materialized within it.

Witnessing this, the Oracle Buddha Ancestor also grew alarmed, his countenance paling considerably.

The formation had been breached.

Should Dragon Tree Buddha manage to escape, no one present would be capable of pursuing him.

Nevertheless, the airborne Dragon Tree Buddha did not attempt to flee; instead, he hurtled back to confront Ye Yun once more.

Dragon Tree Buddha had not anticipated Ye Yun’s strength to be so immense, capable of matching his own terrifying might.

"Sword of Death Realm!"

Confronting the aggressive Dragon Tree Buddha, Ye Yun’s lips curled into a cold smirk. In that precise moment, he unleashed the Sword of Death Realm, a technique from the Binary Sword Chant.

Slash!

A sword light of breathtaking intensity, moving with unimaginable speed, descended upon Dragon Tree Buddha’s form.

Boom!

This strike carved an incredibly deep wound across Dragon Tree Buddha’s chest.

Blood erupted from the injury.

Dragon Tree Buddha cried out in agony and immediately shot through the breach in the formation, escaping towards the exterior of the Jade Buddha Cave Sky.

"Attempting to flee?"

Ye Yun smirked coldly, vanished in a blur, and pursued with his sword in hand.
