The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1827 - 1824: Arhat Vajra
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
Ye Xuan's transformation was evident to all present, yet they remained impassive.
Merging the Spirit of the Void God Realm with one's true body is an alternative method of utilizing the Spirit of the Void God Realm.
Although it yields results, it actually inflicts considerable damage upon cultivators.
With insufficient caution, one could even be depleted of mana, leading to utter exhaustion and demise.
Consequently, it is uncommon for anyone to employ it in such a fashion.
Nevertheless, Ye Xuan's current predicament only served to solidify their belief that he was a defeated entity.
Still, a question occupied their minds.
If Ye Xuan had reached this point, why did he permit them to attack after dispatching Zhuo Rou?
Was he stubbornly persisting?
Had he resigned himself to the fact that the immortal treasure could not be kept?
This was their persistent query, yet it did not deter them from uniting their forces against Ye Xuan.
The immortal treasure, they were resolved to acquire!
Boom!
Unexpectedly, the first to act was not Chu Old Demon, but rather Liuyun Old Monk from Gushan Temple in the desolate lands.
Gushan Temple was not particularly celebrated within the desolate regions, as they maintained a secluded existence, never engaging in the affairs of the cultivation world.
However, this isolation did not imply weakness; Gushan Temple was a Quasi-Emperor sect, populated primarily by Buddhist practitioners.
In times past, the venerable abbot of Gushan Temple was lauded as Buddha's own incarnation, possessing boundless Buddhist doctrines, often put on par with the esteemed Great Western Heaven Temple of Daozhou.
While this comparison might hold some exaggeration, the true Buddha had long since become a figure of legend.
The profound nature of Gushan Temple's Buddhist teachings was seldom witnessed.
Recently, it garnered attention due to Monk Wenchen, a young disciple of Gushan Temple, who ascended to the nineteenth position on the Mystic Yellow List.
Liuyun Old Monk’s purpose in attending was to secure the immortal treasure, thereby aiding Monk Wenchen in forging an immortal body, which would, in turn, stabilize the Buddhist realm.
The Buddhist sect, akin to the Confucian sect, comprises ten distinct realms: Novice (Monk), Monk, Zen Master, Scripture Reader, Protector, Vajra, Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha.
Within this hierarchy, Buddha is equivalent to a Great Emperor, Bodhisattva to a Quasi-Emperor, and Arhat to a Great Saint.
Furthermore, Vajra corresponds to the level of a Great Sage.
Liuyun Old Monk, in reality, was an Arhat realm Buddhist monk, but due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, he was currently operating at the Vajra realm.
The Buddhist sect possesses a divine power known as the six-foot golden body, an ability originating from Vajra realm monks.
The pinnacle of the Vajra realm is equivalent to the power of an Invincible Great Sage and a Supreme Great Sage.
At this very moment, they needed only to channel their Buddhist laws to manifest the six-foot golden body at any given time and place.
This was the truly formidable aspect of their power.
Boom!
Liuyun Old Monk advanced, wielding a Demon Suppressing Zen Staff, and uttered 'Amitabha'. Instantly, his entire being was engulfed in a flowing golden luminescence, simultaneously coalescing into a colossal golden hand that surged forth to strike Ye Xuan!
This awe-inspiring assault materialized in the blink of an eye.
The other formidable figures observed, awaiting Ye Xuan's reaction. Once he made a move, they intended to swiftly intervene and conclude the confrontation.
However, to their astonishment, Ye Xuan remained motionless, allowing the colossal palm to descend upon him.
The immense golden palm descended, stirring a torrent of golden light that completely enveloped Ye Xuan!
"Ye Xuan!"
"Senior Brother!"
The members of the Emperor Immortal Sect were instantly seized by shock and dismay, with numerous disciples vocalizing their distress.
The East Desolate Wolf watched, clenching his jaw, his heart yearning to join the fray.
Yet, he recognized the extraordinary power wielded by these individuals, and with his current capabilities, he was certainly no match for them.
"Amitabha."
Liuyun Old Monk once again invoked the Buddha's name, his countenance radiating a benevolent expression.
While it appeared as feigned piety, Liuyun Old Monk harbored genuine compassion.
This was the profoundest form of
Ye Xuan’s gaze, as profound as the deepest night, blazed with untamed ferocity!
Two starkly contrasting energies surged within Ye Xuan’s form, a vivid display of power.
The sheer, overwhelming might unleashed was utterly astonishing.
Seizing this opportune moment, Chu Old Demon and his companions launched their assault.
"The benefactor is not dead; this monk bears responsibility for this oversight," declared the Liuyun Old Monk, his expression etched with profound compassion.
A sudden gust of wind billowed, whipping the Liuyun Old Monk’s long beard back.
Extending one hand forward and gripping the Demon Suppressing Zen Staff firmly in the other, the Liuyun Old Monk showed no inclination to retreat.
In but a fleeting moment, resplendent golden light emanated from the Liuyun Old Monk, transforming him into an image akin to a mighty Vajra Buddha.
Buzz————
Simultaneously, behind the Liuyun Old Monk, a resplendent Buddha statue materialized, its silent Zen chants echoing across the ancient battlefield.
It was as if countless Buddhas were softly murmuring in the void, reciting sacred Buddhist scriptures.
The rhythmic sound of a wooden fish tapped, a soothing rhythm that calmed the soul, rendering all worldly concerns insignificant and fostering the renunciation of all attachments.
This formidable power was directly confronted by Ye Xuan.
The overwhelming Buddha power sought to compel Ye Xuan to relinquish his weapons and embrace the path of Buddhism.
It aimed to force Ye Xuan into immediate submission and acceptance of death.
The savage intensity in Ye Xuan’s right eye flared even brighter.
His punch remained unwavering, striking with bone-shattering force directly into the Liuyun Old Monk’s chest!
Clang——————
An explosive collision, like the clash of divine metal, instantly reverberated.
Every soul present on the ancient battlefield felt the terrifying kinetic shockwave.
Cultivators of lower realms, such as Zhu Xiaofei and his peers, were instantly deafened, their ears streaming with blood.
Had Hong Ba not reacted with lightning speed to shield them, Zhu Xiaofei and the others would have surely disintegrated and perished at that very instant!
The ancient adage, "When immortals clash, mortals suffer," holds undeniable truth.
Without a sufficiently high cultivation realm to witness such a battle, one risks perishing unexpectedly.
This was precisely the unfolding situation.
Ye Xuan’s fist, striking with ferocious momentum, impacted the Liuyun Old Monk’s chest, unleashing a fearsome sound of metallic impact.
Meanwhile, the initiated assaults from Chu Old Demon and the others had already descended.
They unleashed their full power, their attacks even encompassing the Liuyun Old Monk within their devastating trajectory.
In an instant, the very heavens darkened, the world turned upside down!
Observing this apex confrontation with the naked eye was rendered impossible.
Boom!
The Liuyun Old Monk’s entire being was hurled backward, his golden countenance bleeding from all seven orifices, his golden eyes wide with utter disbelief.
