Chapter 686: 549 Great Sun Tathagata must die

"Die!"

Among the many battlefields, the first to determine victory or defeat were the weakest Spiritual Mountain Buddhas.

Under the pressure of the stars, the power of the Spiritual Mountain Buddhas decayed by nine-tenths, and then they were killed one by one by the enraged gods of the Jiejiao Sect.

The blood of these Buddhas sprinkled from the sky, staining the Spiritual Mountain red.

After that, the battle between the Innate Dao Sovereigns also determined the victors and losers.

The Chan Teaching celestials were seen jointly offering the Heaven Overturning Seal, where the immortal divine mountain manifested, exuding an aura that suppressed the ancients.

Suddenly, the divine mountain fell, crushing Puxian, Ci Hang, Jiyu Sun, and Wenshu, the four traitors of the Chan Teaching, on the spot.

The Heaven Overturning Seal, renowned as the strongest post-heaven treasure, isn’t without reason. It’s power rivals that of Innate Treasures, capable of killing four Innate Dao Sovereigns so easily. Even a Quasi-Saint would be half-wounded if hit by it.

The rest of the Mystic Sect Dao Sovereigns also displayed their divine abilities, killing each of the Buddhist Dao Sovereigns they were fighting against.

For a time, dozens of Innate Dao Sovereigns fell one after another. The sky over the Xiniuhe Continent suddenly changed with boundless dark clouds pervading, spreading a chilling mournful sensation.

The fall of the Dao Sovereigns had caused a reaction in Heaven and Earth, creating anomalies, as if mourning in silence for the fallen Dao Sovereigns.

However, before these anomalies could manifest, a Mystic Sect Great Transcendental was seen waving his sleeve, and in an instant, all the anomalies disappeared, and the sky became clear again.

The Spiritual Mountain Buddhas are demons, and their death would be a cause for celebration in Heaven and Earth rather than occasion for mourning.

This doesn’t make sense!

Hence, the Great Divine Transcendent of the Mystic Sect took action to dissipate all the anomalies.

Boom!

At this moment, a rumbling thunder resounded from the sky, and then, the previously disappeared dark clouds reappeared, bigger than before, shrouding all the four continents.

The next moment, there was a downpour of blood!

This was a sign of a Quasi-Saint’s death.

A Quasi-Saint has fallen!

The Great Divine Transcendents looked up to see that the Dragon Supreme Buddha is no match for the Xuanlong Sovereign. He was killed by the latter, his corpse falling from outer space, but was then taken away by a divine light.

The Saint of the West has taken action and taken away the body of the Dragon Supreme Buddha to prevent it from falling into the hands of outsiders.

Indeed, if the corpse is available, Dragon Supreme Buddha can return from the cycle of reincarnation and quickly restore his strength. Without a corpse, he can’t even hope to return to the peak without tens of millions of years.

Not long after the fall of the Dragon Supreme Buddha, Maitreya Buddha was suppressed by Xuandu using the top-notch Innate Spiritual Treasure, Bajingtu.

Maitreya Buddha’s disadvantage lies here - his poverty. However, Xuandu is different. Being the only disciple of the Saint of Taiqing, he does not lack Innate Spiritual Treasures, even top-notch ones.

After defeating Maitreya Buddha, Xuandu directly turned back to Shouyang Mountain, shouting to the sky as he walked, "Back in the day, Zhunti held back the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother, causing her to be killed by the Mosquito Daoist."

"Now it’s tit for tat. This Maitreya Buddha, we of the Mystic Sect will take him. After I process his flesh with the Purple Gold Bagua Furnace, I will present him as a gift to my junior brother."

Hearing Xuandu’s words, Zhunti, who was about to save Maitreya, was suddenly taken aback. By the time he came to his senses, Xuandu had already returned to Shouyang Mountain.

The Saint of Taiqing aptly said, "Zhunti, take your time. When the Turtle Spirit returns, Maitreya will regain his freedom."

The meaning of this sentence needed to be heard in reverse. If the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother is reborn, things will naturally be fine. If she cannot be reborn, then I am sorry, there will be no Maitreya Buddha in this world anymore.

Though the Saints aren’t stained by karmic forces, it doesn’t mean their actions won’t generate karma. The karma can’t find them, but it will retribute on their disciples.

Maitreya was affected by Zhunti’s karma this time. The retribution that was originally Zhunti’s fell on him instead.

"What an eye for an eye! I, the Poverty Monk, accept today’s outcome."

Knowing that he was at fault, Zhunti couldn’t even speak up to save his disciples. He could only vent his anger on the Mosquito Daoist.

This monster must be executed!

During the Saints’ conversation, another one of the Buddha’s Quasi-Saints fell - it was the King of the Sorrow Forest.

This was expected. The Quasi-Saints of Buddhism were all critically injured, but the Quasi-Saints of Taoism were at their peak. This was inherently an unjust battle. How could Buddhism win?

The fall of the King of the Sorrow Forest also signified that the last four Quasi-Saints of the Western Mainland had come to an end and were heading towards their demise.

"Die!"

At the same time, the entire Chaos suddenly cooled down. Immediately after, an endless wave of blood swept over, engulfing the Medicine Buddha Liuliguang Tathagata.

After the blood light retreated, there was no more sight of Medicine Buddha Liuliguang Tathagata in the Chaos. It was a stroke from the Underworld River sealed in Yuan Tu Abi, shifted to kill the Medicine Buddha.

On the other side, the Phoenix Clan’s heritage treasure, Ancestor Phoenix Plume, suddenly appeared in the hands of the Five-Color Phoenix. With just one move, Kong Xuan was beheaded.

After that, the Peacock underwent Nirvana, transforming into a giant egg with circulating five-colored radiance.

Zhunti Saint tried to seize this giant egg, but a rainbow at the end of the sky was faster, taking away Kong Xuan’s egg form before him.

This was the act of the Ancestor Phoenix, taking away her own son.

Sacred beasts are no less sacred than a saint, so they’re not necessarily afraid of them.

...

"The tide has turned!"

Seeing the Buddhas fall one by one, even the Tathagata Buddha knew the battle was lost. Without waiting for Saintess Wudang to take action, he chanted a Buddhist mantra and took his own life.

"Amitābha Buddha, I am off!"

The next moment, golden flames rose from the body of the Tathagata Buddha. In a few breaths, he had burned himself into ashes.

This was the process of Nirvana, a Buddhist secret method to abandon everything of today and gain a new life in the future.

After practicing this method, the original source of the Tathagata Buddha will not be lost. With the passage of time, he will definitely return one day, and he will be even stronger.

This was the smart choice, rather than being slain by others, it was better to take one’s own life. In doing so, one could also control the initiative.

Not only the Tathagata Buddha had such idea, the surviving Quasi-Saints such as Ancient Buddha Randeng, Not Empty Buddha, and Great Sun Tathagata, all agreed.

These people had all survived numerous heavens and earth calamities, not only were they not dead, but they also reaped substantial benefits, proving the strength of their survival skills.

In the past, they betrayed the Mystic Sect for strength, so would they die for the Buddhist door today? Seeing the opponent’s strength, they all harbored thoughts of Nirvana.

The quickest to react was the Not Empty Buddha. As a figure who had survived numerous Quantitative Calamities, if his reaction wasn’t quick, he would’ve long since perished in the calamity.

With no chance for his opponent to react, Not Empty Buddha proceeded to Nirvana. However, his opponent was not weak. In the final moment of his Nirvana, his opponent cut off part of his original source, causing his Nirvana process to be incomplete.

Incomplete Nirvana meant that when Not Empty Buddha returns, his power would greatly decrease, making it difficult to recover to his peak state.

As Not Empty Buddha initiated his Nirvana, Ancient Buddha Randeng also began his Nirvana.

However, at this moment, Doumu Venerable slapped her palm, with 84,000 stars exploding in her palm, creating a terrifying force that critically injured Ancient Buddha Randeng, leaving him with no strength for Nirvana.

"Doumu, you..."

Looking at Doumu Venerable, who sneak attacked from behind, Ancient Buddha Randeng was both shocked and angry.

Doumu Venerable did not think there was anything inappropriate about her sneak attack. She looked at Randeng and sneered coldly, "Randeng, did you ever think your day to pay would come?"

"Karma is a wheel, retribution is inevitable!"

"Back then, you sneak attacked me in the midst of the Ten Thousand Immortals array. Today, I’m merely returning the favor. What do you have to say?"

Ancient Buddha Randeng couldn’t say anything for Doumu Venerable’s Flying Golden Sword had pierced his forehead, killing his True Spirit.

Back in the day, Ancient Buddha Randeng took advantage of Doumu Venerable’s fight against Puxian, Cihang, and Wenshu, and sneak attacked her with the Sea Pacifying God Pearl, killing her.

Today, Doumu Venerable similarly launched a sneak attack on Ancient Buddha Randeng just as he was dealing with a strong opponent from the Mystic Sect, killing him. It was payback.

After taking away the body of Ancient Buddha Randeng, Doumu Venerable returned to Heaven Court.

Outside of the Heaven in the Primordial Chaos, Saint Zhunti wanted to retrieve the body of Ancient Buddha Randeng, but seeing the displeased expressions of the Sanqing, he silently gave up the idea.

Great Sun Tathagata also wanted to initiate Nirvana, but unfortunately, he was targeted by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen always remembered that his biggest enemy in Buddhism wasn’t Medicine Master Tathagata, whose avatar he had slain, but rather, this Tenth Demon Clan’s Prince, Great Sun Tathagata.

For the matter of the nine little golden crows, there was an inevitable conflict between them.

Great Sun Tathagata was very powerful, at least a Quasi-Saint’s later stage figure. Even Jiang Chen, who had already achieved Great Ancient Martial Dao, seemed like an ant before him.

So, Jiang Chen always kept a low profile in front of Great Sun Tathagata for fear of being noticed and inviting fatal disaster.

Only when Jiang Chen’s cultivation grew stronger, uncaring of Great Sun Tathagata, would he dare to appear boldly in front of Great Sun Tathagata.

But, Great Sun Tathagata was too strong. So strong that even if Jiang Chen tried his best to practice for tens of thousands of years, he wouldn’t be his opponent. He’s like a big mountain, firmly pressing down on Jiang Chen’s heart.

It was assumed that this would carry on until Jiang Chen’s strength reached Great Sun Tathagata’s level to end.

But at this moment, in Jiang Hao’s confrontation with Great Sun Tathagata, Jiang Chen saw the hope of weakening Great Sun Tathagata.

If Great Sun Tathagata’s life ends in this battle and his original source is swallowed by Jiang Hao, then he will not appear for a long time in the prehistoric world. And even when he appears, without his original source, how much strength would he have left?

A Quasi-Saint without an original source is just a paper tiger. They may have their realm, but without the corresponding strength, at most, they could only be considered as comparable to an innate Dao Sovereign, and even that maybe too high a praise.

Jiang Chen could not beat a Quasi-Saint Great Sun Tathagata, but he wouldn’t fear an Innate Dao Sovereign level Great Sun Tathagata.

Thus, the Great Sun Tathagata must die!

Understanding this, Jiang Chen no longer hid the fact that he had swallowed the golden crow’s corpse. All the primordial Dao pills on his body ignited at this moment, transforming into a powerful force, triggering the golden crow’s original source in his body.

Ps: Good, the fight has come to an end.
