Chapter 706: Five Six Eight Tip of the Iceberg_2

Crack!

The imprisoned River of Time and Space began to operate again. The Immortal-slaying Flying Knife and Nirvana Buddha’s Light rushed towards Jiang Chen once again.

The Buddha and others had broken Jiang Chen’s first Great Wish Technique.

However, Jiang Chen did not stop, but released an even louder voice: "When I become a sage, all the heavens, countless sentient beings in billions of dust, chanting my name, will attain freedom and be boundless!"

Boom!

In the obscure River of Time and Space, a willpower as gigantic as the starry sea gushed down, transforming into golden rivers, pouring and rushing, oppressing the incoming Nirvana Buddha’s Light and Immortal-slaying Flying Knife.

"Supreme Divine Power, the Great Wish Technique, the Forty-eight Great Vows for all living beings!"

The bodies of the Five Buddhas trembled. The void around their bodies cracked everywhere, creating many rifts, seemingly unable to bear the pressure of Jiang Chen’s immense power.

At the same time, the Immortal-slaying Flying Knife hanging high in the sky, after a violent tremor, suddenly shattered into countless small cracks. Immediately after, the power of vow surged up, crushing it.

Squirt!

The Divine Ability was broken, and the Great Sun Buddha was immediately backlashed, his face turned extremely pale.

"Damn it!"

"How can the Great Wish Technique be so powerful? When suppressing Sun Wukong last time, this divine power shouldn’t have been this strong."

The Buddha could not help showing a shocked look. He had seen the Great Wish Technique before, but he was still amazed by its power this time, which obviously had exceeded the category of Supreme Divine Power.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay any attention to Daoist Huntian’s voice, but faced the endless space-time, making one great vow after another.

Each great vow was immensely grand, awe-inspiring all heavens and myriads of worlds, all time and space, the past, present, future, and the inconceivable majestic power.

"When I become a sage..."

"When I become a sage..."

The Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain in the void world, at this moment, cannot see any scenery in their minds, let alone witness the fight between Jiang Chen and the Five Buddhas.

In their ears, in their minds, only Jiang Chen’s vows remained.

The great vows shook countless space-times, countless creatures. Deep in their souls, it seemed to echo Jiang Chen’s voice.

The Buddhas of the Spiritual Mountain also seemed to revere Jiang Chen’s voice, they involuntarily clasped their hands and began to worship.

Visible to the naked eye, under the impact of the golden willpower, the Great Demise of Ten Thousand Buddha’s Light, jointly driven by the Five Buddhas, seemed to ebb and rush towards the Five Buddhas.

"All things are impermanent! All laws are selfless! Nirvana is silent! The truth of all laws! All leaks are painful!"

Seeing that the Nirvana Buddha’s Light could not resist Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability, the Five Buddhas knew that the situation was critical, so they no longer held back and used the Buddhist door’s strongest Divine Ability, the Five Fundamental Law Seals.

These five seals represent all the achievements of Buddhism, their power surpasses everything, abandons everything, and is not attached to anything.

Boom!

The terrifying Buddha’s Light emerged, penetrating the past, present, and future, destroying countless space-times, and turning into a giant "swastika" law seal, suppressing Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s eyes became deeper, sparkling with the brilliant glow of the Human Path. His voice became even louder: "When I become a sage, all outsiders will not enter the world. All living beings will not be eroded by outsiders......."

The moment this magnificent vow fell, countless beings next to Jiang Chen suddenly showed enlightened expressions, as if they had understood the real meaning of life and attained great joy and freedom.

Immediately, their bodies disintegrated and shattered at the same time, turning into countless strands of pure willpower, which constantly condensed behind Jiang Chen, evolving into dazzling glows of the Human Path.

Whoosh!

Without knowing when, a halo composed entirely of human light formed around Jiang Chen.

The illusions of countless beings emerged, continuously making sounds of praise. Countless streams of willpower also emerged, continuously flowing around it.

Boom!

The "swastika" rotates, carrying the highest mystery of the Buddha’s teachings, and crushes towards Jiang Chen.

At Jiang Chen’s side, the Divine Wheel of the Human Path rotates, with countless beings’ illusions appearing underneath, as if they are pushing it to rotate.

As the Divine Wheel of the Human Path rotates, in the void, forty-eight rivers of willpower emerge, vast and endless.

Boom!

The golden flood surged inexorably, propelled by the Human Path Divine Wheel and barreling towards the "swastika" seal.

At the same time, with every rotation of the Human Path Divine Wheel, the golden flood of Willpower was condensed a bit more.

As the two sides were about to collide, the forty-eight floods of Willpower had already been condensed by the Human Path Divine Wheel into forty-eight brilliant Daoist lights, each intensely concentrated and radiating an ineffable glow.

This is the Sacred Light of the Human Path!

Bang!

The very next moment, the swastika seal and the Sacred Light of the Human Path collided fiercely.

In just an instant, the incredibly radiant swastika seal, representing the highest achievement of Buddhism, was torn apart by the forty-eight Sacred Lights of Humanity, disintegrating into countless specks of light and dispersed.

Even though Buddha is powerful, he is still no match for the multitude!

This battle between Buddha and the multitude ended with Buddha’s defeat!

Boom! Boom!

The forty-eight Sacred Lights of Humanity ripped the swastika seal apart, then pressed on unstoppably towards the Five Buddhas, intending to obliterate them all together.

But at this moment, the bodies of the Five Buddhas suddenly burst into black flames.

They were the Fires of Nirvana and also the Flames of Nirvana. If ignited on an enemy, they’d be the Fires of Nirvana, capable of reducing him to nothingness.

Yet, if ignited on oneself, they’d become the Flames of Nirvana, incinerating everything that exists now in exchange for a lifeline in the future.

Clearly, the Five Buddhas, realizing the grave situation they were in, had decided to save their lives with the technique of Nirvana.

Unfortunately, the speed of the Sacred Light of Humanity was too fast. Before the Five Buddhas could complete their Nirvana, it had already reached their faces.

However, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred!

A dazzling Buddhist light flashed, and the Buddha of the past, Maitreya, and Randeng Ancient Buddha, these three Buddhas suddenly merged into one, transforming into a large Buddha with three heads and six arms.

The face on the left of this large Buddha looked back at the past, the middle face faced the present, and the right face looked towards the future.

Even though he was standing right in front of Jiang Chen, it was peculiar that Jiang Chen was unable to sense the existence of this large Buddha. It was as if he had transcended time and space and no longer belonged to this world.

"This...."

Such a bizarre scene gave rise to an ominous premonition in Jiang Chen’s heart. But the very next moment, his premonition came to pass.

Without any apparent action from the large Buddha, the space-time in front of him suddenly extended infinitely.

Although there was only a moment’s difference for the forty-eight Sacred Lights of Humanity to land on the Five Buddhas, this moment had seemingly turned into eternity, making it impossible for the Sacred Lights of Humanity to ever get close to the Five Buddhas.

"Jiang Chen, before the West Journey begins, we will return. We can settle our scores then."

With a faint smile towards Jiang Chen, the figures of the Five Buddhas gradually disappeared from Jiang Chen’s sight.

"The Vertical Three Worlds Buddha and the Horizontal Three Worlds Buddha, is this the real foundation of Buddhism?"

"I have underestimated them after all!"

Looking at where the Buddhas had disappeared, a shadow cast over Jiang Chen’s heart.

Just now, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that he might have underestimated Buddhas like them. The Vertical and Horizontal Three Worlds Buddha of Buddhism were not as simple as he had imagined.

The Buddha of the Past, Maitreya, and Randeng Ancient Buddha, represented the past, present, and future of Buddhism. They were the Vertical Three Worlds Buddha of Buddhism.

The three-headed and six-armed large Buddha they had just merged into had an aura likened to the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, which transcended the River of Time and Space, one of the signs of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Just the combination of the Vertical Three Worlds Buddha created a likeness of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, but what about the Horizontal Three Worlds Buddha, who is no weaker than them?

Or what would happen if the Five Buddhas integrated? Could it be comparable to the real Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial?

Jiang Chen’s gaze gradually became profound. The depths of Buddhism were deeper than he thought. The real foundation of Buddhism only revealed a glimpse at this moment.

The tribulation of the West Journey might not be as simple as Jiang Chen thought.

ps: I’ve finished writing the part of this story set in the West.

I need to rest and think about how to proceed further. So this is the only update for today.
