Capítulo 2552: Chapter 253: Heavenly Demon (2)
“It’s a pity, if the Buddha Kingdom had been successfully forged, perhaps this wouldn’t have been necessary…”
Silently, he began chanting the Rebirth Scripture.
In the instant that followed, the devout and benevolent Buddha citizens shriveled up and dropped like desiccated husks of skin…
As countless Buddha citizens perished, tiny streams of light resembling fireflies densely scattered throughout the nearby three Dharma Realms.
With the emergence of the three Dharma Realms, Tibo’s somewhat faint apparition grew a bit more vivid right then, regaining its substantial form!
“True Spirit…”
Seeing this spectacle, even though Wang Ba and his companions had already witnessed Tianshang Buddha’s brutality, a profound shock still gripped their hearts.
“Billions of monks…to them, nothing more than mere nourishment?!”
Not just Wang Ba—even the monks inside the Dharma Realm stood stupefied, faces blank with disbelief; in that instant, it felt like their entire world and long-held faiths shattered completely before their eyes!
All these individuals had passed the trial of the Red Lotus Fire, possessing inherently pure hearts. Even practitioners of demonic paths retained compassion, making them particularly cherished by Tianshang Buddha.
However, confronted with the mass extinction of billions of Buddha citizens at this juncture, their Buddha hearts trembled, refusing to accept the reality.
A young monk in white robes, stern and icy, stared in stunned silence at the sight; beneath this overwhelming blow, a faint shift stirred in his gaze.
Next to Tianshang Buddha, an elder Buddha Lord spoke gravely:
“This remains insufficient! The three Dharma Realms need to merge swiftly; else, we cannot weather this disaster!”
“Preserve the leftover Buddha Seeds as hopes for tomorrow; we Decay Woods shall ignite ourselves now, ensuring spring returns in due time!”
The nine past Buddha Lords shared a knowing look, showing no shred of doubt.
Immediately after, they seated themselves cross-legged amid the void, as Red Lotus Fire erupted fiercely from their forms.
Tianshang Buddha, observing this, let a flicker of emotion cross his face, sorrow gleaming briefly in his eyes, yet he clasped his hands and chanted the Buddhist Scripture in silence, guiding the three Dharma Realms with the essence bequeathed by these former Buddha Lords.
Having sacrificed their flesh long ago to build the three Dharma Realms, the nine former Buddha Lords now let the Red Lotus Fire devour their lingering existences entirely, all to ensure the seamless fusion of the three Dharma Realms—their total erasure, with no path to salvation!
Still, at that very moment, serenity and calm adorned the faces of these former Buddha Lords as they permitted the Red Lotus Fire to engulf them, vanishing steadily without rush.
Within moments, the Red Lotus Fire had wholly devoured the nine former Buddha Lords.
The total demise of the nine former Buddha Lords unleashed a thunderous bellow from the three Dharma Realms echoing over the Realm Sea!
Right then, the Reclining Buddha, Seated Buddha, and Standing Buddha hastened their merging process.
In his sorrow, Tianshang Buddha refused to waver, urging the three Dharma Realms onward to accelerate the unification; as the pinnacle of the ten generations of Buddha Lords and the sole one able to command all three Dharma Realms at once, he vowed not to waste the sacrifices of all.
Guided by his will, the three Dharma Realms drew closer together, and in tandem, Tibo’s manifested apparition gained greater tangibility.
This shift brought immense pressure bearing down on Zhang’s Ruins.
Thankfully, its corporeal form proved extraordinarily resilient; even with the three Dharma Realms nearing complete fusion, no harm befell Zhang’s Ruins, merely producing faint echoes of tempered steel clashing, akin to a hammer shaping sword qi.
Watching this unfold, Wang Ba, True Man Gai, and the rest felt their faces shift subtly; they yearned to step in and halt the three Dharma Realms’ union, yet struggled to act at once.
True Man Gai blurted out in alarm:
“This is bad! Should the three Dharma Realms fully merge like this, all is truly forfeit!”
And just then, an abrupt twist arose!
The monks Tianshang Buddha had deliberately spared earlier suddenly released visible wisps of Demonic Qi!
These Demonic Qi strands rapidly gathered into a dark silhouette, which, while Tianshang Buddha concentrated on managing the three Dharma Realms, darted forth like a ghost and slammed straight into Tianshang Buddha’s chest!
Overcome by sorrow, Tianshang Buddha grew momentarily negligent, yet his supreme cultivation stood unrivaled throughout the Realm Sea, allowing him to perceive it immediately as he roared in fury:
“So you were hiding here!”
Suddenly, his Buddha light erupted, undaunted by the peril, and even as the black shadow seared onto his chest, he unleashed a fierce counterstrike against it.
“Hah!”
Infused with blazing rage, Tianshang Buddha's rushed palm strike summoned seven or eight parts of his power; though the black shadow had schemed for ages, this blow shattered most of its safeguards, sending a figure staggering out and hurtling backward, exposing a plain-looking, ashen-faced middle-aged man.
His aura felt feeble, his form utterly disheveled.
But in that instant, a smug, ferociously rebellious sneer twisted across his face:
“Did you ever consider this day when you destroyed my Void Demon Realm!”
“Xiahou Demon?!”
Spotting this figure, True Man Gai and Heavenly Monarch Chao from afar were struck with shock and elation.
Wang Ba's heart raced as well, remembering True Man Gai's rundown of the four Mahayana Cultivators' traits in the Broken Sea Realm, where Xiahou Demon earned the label 'cunning'—a fitting description that rang utterly true now.
