My gorgeous wife Chapter 2470 - 2438: Hunting the Dao Saint
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
"Wrathful Vajra?"
The Taiyi Dao Saint glanced at the seemingly harmless little fatty beside him. Others might not know, but he knew just how terrifying this little fatty could be when he flared up.
The Twelve Saints of the Starry Sky, every one of them who survived from the Seven Worlds Era till now, were veterans of many battles.
Perhaps while they were still hiding in the Holy Realm, some would mock them for cowering in their sanctuaries, just as Suan Tian used to say.
That was because Suan Tian never experienced the War of the Seven Realms, so he didn’t know how strong the enemies they faced truly were.
He didn’t know how tragic the War of the Seven Realms was back then.
During the time of the Seven Realms, the Taiyi Dao Saint had already achieved Dao Saint status. He saw with his own eyes how this seemingly harmless little fatty charged into countless enemies alone, bathing an entire Era-Ancient Civilization army in blood after the Buddhist Realm’s doctrines were destroyed, its continents sunken, and eventually the whole Buddhist Realm collapsed.
The Blood Saint and Holy Primordial Demon once jointly killed four Dao Saints of the same level, an extraordinary feat in itself after experiencing a great battle.
However, this little fatty, when the Buddhist Realm collapsed, single-handedly decimated more than twenty Dao Saints of the Era-Ancient Civilization!
It’s not that he was stronger than the Blood Saint or Holy Primordial Demon but that this little fatty was not only powerful but also terribly cunning and insidious.
In situations where the enemy outnumbered him, he would often flee at the first opportunity, faster than anyone else.
But once the enemy turned their back, he would stealthily approach in the most secretive manner, striking with a debilitating blow or even killing them!
Even the Era-Ancient Civilization back then gave the Heavenly Buddha Saint a nickname.
Demon Buddha!
But those people never thought about what transformed a chubby monk boy of the Buddhist Realm, who was inattentive even during chanting and just wanted to eat and sleep well, into the Demon Buddha they spoke of.
"This time, we should be able to capture a few more Palm Realm powerhouses from the Soul Tribe, right? The souls of the Soul Tribe are innately immensely powerful, especially when they enter the Soul Realm or even the Palm Realm, their Divine Souls become so solid that..." The Heavenly Buddha Saint smacked his lips: "A rare delicacy!"
"Aren’t you from the Buddhist Realm?" Taiyi Dao Saint cast a sideways glance at the Heavenly Buddha Saint.
"Even people from the Buddhist Realm need to eat." The Heavenly Buddha Saint said cheerfully while shaking his head: "Besides, who said everyone in the Buddhist Realm is a monk? It’s just that it’s easier to follow this cultivation path. Back then, I, the little monk... No, I, the great master had dreams of becoming a Martial Cultivator of the Supreme Asura Realm!"
"But you still became a monk."
"That’s different!" The Heavenly Buddha Saint argued hard: "Becoming a Buddha and being a monk aren’t the same thing, okay? Monks have to follow those pure rules because they can’t control their hearts if they don’t. I’ve achieved Buddhahood and sainthood; I don’t need to care about those things anymore!"
"Are you claiming to be a privileged class?" Taiyi Dao Saint was at a loss for words at the twisted logic of the Heavenly Buddha Saint.
"Exactly. Privilege has always existed." The Heavenly Buddha Saint nodded, with his small eyes on his chubby face squinting even more: "It’s like how back in the day, those Era-Ancient Civilizations were stronger than us, so they invaded us. Now, it’s the same; they think they’re stronger than us, so they feel privileged to invade us. If we can’t stop them, we’ll be subjected to their privilege."
"The old men of the Buddhist Realm used to preach that all beings are equal, but who didn’t know that in this world, the law of the jungle reigns supreme! We said all beings were equal when our fists were the biggest, so no one dared to say otherwise in the Buddhist Realm. But look at the outcome..."
"This time, I’m going to chew on these Soul Tribe members while teaching them a lesson: if you can kill me, I can kill you; if you can devour the Divine Soul of a powerhouse from our Starry Universe, I can eat your Divine Soul. That’s what true equality of all beings means!"
As he spoke, the Heavenly Buddha Saint’s eyes suddenly twinkled.
"Here they come!"
The Soul Tribe wasted no time.
Their actions were swift as they quickly solved the wormhole and the two Dao Saints guarding it, but the Soul Tribe promptly dispatched powerhouses for support.
Five Dao Saints arrived, and behind them trailed dozens of Ancient Ancestors. Having sensed the anomaly, they were the closest and arrived first.
"So many Palm Realm experts, seems like enough for a feast for Buddha Lord here!" Whether to call him Demon Buddha or Heavenly Buddha Saint, the little fatty’s eyes gleamed with intimidating brilliance.
But at this time, the Taiyi Dao Saint gently patted the Heavenly Buddha Saint’s shoulder: "Wait a moment, don’t worry, there’s enough for you."
"Why? Now isn’t the time..."
The little fatty hadn’t finished speaking when he saw a brilliant light descend from the heavens.
"In the grand dream, I alone awaken!"
As the light descended, a moment of confusion flickered in the eyes of all the Soul Tribe powerhouses, including the five Dao Saints.
After this brief moment of bewilderment, another resplendent light formed around the group.
"Eternity enters Reincarnation!"
Within the surrounds of these elites, a terrifying Power of Reincarnation started to operate. Under such terrifying power, even Dao Saints were utterly submerged under the dual forces.
Suddenly, two of the Dao Saints began to struggle violently.
Their cultivation was evidently higher than the others, and their Dao Hearts were more steadfast, trying to break free from the sinking power.
However, before they could break free, a blade suddenly appeared behind them.
It pierced through the cosmic auras surrounding them just as they had barely emerged, beheading both with one stroke.
The others didn’t even see how the blade acted when the heads of the Palm Realm powerhouses flew off.
At this moment, a chilling voice belatedly arrived.
"Slaughter Realm—Carnage of the Universe."
Heads flew up, including the Divine Souls of these powerhouses, which finally awakened due to the death of their physical bodies.
But before they could take flight and escape.
The blade, still stained with the blood of Dao Saints, suddenly spun, and a blade light swept out.
"Wordless."
The rampant Law of Destruction instantly surged into the Divine Souls of these Palm Realm powerhouses, and in mere breaths, a large group from the Soul Tribe fell to their demise together.
Netherworld slowly moved his hand blade, nodding in acknowledgment toward the Peak Dao Saints Mingmeng and Guangming in another direction.
If it weren’t for their intervention, he wouldn’t have been able to slay so many Dao Saints at once.
Finally, Netherworld’s gaze fell upon the direction of the Heavenly Buddha Saint and the others.
"That darn kid, my grand feast is gone." The Heavenly Buddha Saint called out in anguish.
"That’s why I told you to wait." Taiyi Dao Saint shrugged.
And the two Dao Saints trapped within the Bagua Array Diagram, brushed by Netherworld’s gaze, were chilled to their cores.
They finally understood why these terrifying figures didn’t kill them outright.
