The First Demon of the Chan Sect
Chapter 192 - 192 138 Extinguishing the Buddha Part 1

192: Chapter 138 Extinguishing the Buddha (Part 1) 192: Chapter 138 Extinguishing the Buddha (Part 1) “Zhunti Bodhisattva comes from the West, with a moral root deep and wondrous beyond measure.

Lotus leaves stirred by the wind assume a colored hue, lotus flowers without rain stand firm on the water’s surface.

Golden bows and silver spears aren’t for guarding against calamities, the Treasure Mallet and Fish Intestine Sword have other uses.

It’s said Kong Xuan masters transformations, under the Bodhi Tree hailed as the Great Ming King!”

Following the Buddha Light, a vast and unparalleled portal of space appeared.

The first to emerge from the portal were rows of young and handsome novice monks, each holding aloft willow catkin hand fans, scattering golden flowers.

Next was a resplendent and golden Imperial Chariot, with a foundation of Merit Golden Lotus, yokes made of Fusang Divine Wood, a canopy of Star Iron, and curtains of Brocade Heavenly Silkworm Silk; powered by eight exceptional Eight Heavenly Dragon Horses.

The chariot was truly glittering with gold, luxurious to the extreme!

Looking inside the chariot, Zhunti sat with a flower-like smile.

This Zhunti atop the chariot seemed far more noble than the one from the Primordial World.

While their appearances were indistinguishable, the aura was something the Zhunti of the Primordial World could never compare to.

Consider Zhunti from the Primordial World: short and vulgar in stature; whereas this Saint Zhunti was several inches taller, with a face wearing a pleasant smile.

At first glance, one felt as if bathed in the breeze of spring.

Further behind were the slender and aloof Buddha Mother Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva, and the haughty and sinister Golden Winged Great Peng King, flanking Zhunti’s left and right.

Looking further back, standing to the far left were the past Randeng Ancient Buddha who had conflicts with Li Qingming.

The short and fat Buddha in the center, identical to the Primordial World’s Duo Bao, must be the current Shakyamuni Buddha.

To the far right was Zhunti’s first disciple, the future Mile Zunwang Buddha!

Following these three Buddha figures were The Bodhisattva Guanyin, Universal Virtue Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha, Eastern Guardian King Dorozha…

and finally, the fierce and mighty Eighteen Arhats!

This immense lineup represented the current pinnacle of the Buddhist Sect’s power.

This top force that dominates All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds was now completely presented before Li Qingming.

Tian Zhao and the greatly diminished power of Susano obsequiously knelt before Zhunti’s Imperial Chariot, humbly offering their respects, and recounted the events with embellishments.

Li Qingming watched the Sect Ancestors, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats before him, filled with perplexity.

Why is Zhunti everywhere, why is Buddhism everywhere!

Is there no place in the myriad realms and countless spaces beyond the reach of the Buddhist Sect?

Zhunti, having listened to the two, looked at Li Qingming with a smile.

However, the Evil Qi subtly hidden within his eyes spilled out bit by bit.

Behind the Imperial Chariot, Randeng watched Li Qingming with complicated eyes.

He understood that he was no longer a match for Li Qingming.

Yet, Randeng was willing to witness the rise of the Chan Sect, the gradual resurgence of The Three Pure Ones, and the Taoist Sect’s return to prosperity!

Perhaps this could be seen as Randeng’s last ambition, even though he was no longer a disciple under the guidance of the Xuan Sect.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin, Universal Virtue Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Buddha Ju Liusun, who had heard of Li Qingming from Randeng and were originally from the Yuxu Sect, looked at Li Qingming with puzzled eyes.

Emotions of joy, excitement, satisfaction…

a mix of feelings welled up within.

Looking at the local forces of Buddhism, or rather the die-hard loyalists of the Buddhist Sect, they glared at Li Qingming with fierce and murderous intent.

It seemed they couldn’t wait to rush forward and annihilate Li Qingming right then and there.

What puzzled Li Qingming was that among these many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there was a considerable number of Buddha’s demon beast mounts that were shaking their bodies with excitement, some of them even laughing out loud without any attempt to conceal it.

Could these be the disciples of Jie Sect who were abducted by Zhunti after the Sealing God Tribulation?

If they really are them, I’ll need to save them when the fight starts.

“Amitabha Buddha, Benefactor greets you!” Zhunti floated down from the Imperial Chariot, hypocritically greeting Li Qingming with a Buddha Power salute, and continued, “May I ask the benefactor if what Tian Zhao and Xu Zuo said is true?”

To be honest, Li Qingming was not even in the mood to look at Zhunti.

But as the saying goes, “Don’t slap a smiling face.” Despite feeling disgusted, Li Qingming still gave a bow and said, “Zhunti Buddha Mother is gracious!

Indeed so!”

“Oh, haha…” Zhunti chuckled lightly and said, “As long as the benefactor is willing to convert to our Buddhism, the matter here can be forgotten as if it never happened.

What does the benefactor think?

This old monk promises that if the benefactor is willing to join the Buddhist Sect, I am willing to give up the position of the Sect Hierarch.

Does the benefactor think this is acceptable?”

“Hahaha, what a grandiose claim from Zhunti!” Li Qingming laughed loudly upon hearing this, “Zhunti, why bother with such pretense!

If you wish for me to join your Buddhism, even the rebirth of your elder brother, Jieyin Taoist, is a vain dream.

As for you, pah!

You’re not even qualified!”

“Foolish blasphemer, you dare to speak such words to the Buddha Mother.

Do you not know that disaster comes from the mouth!” Long-eared Ding Guang Xian, who defected from Jie Sect—oh!

That is, Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy now, jumped out.

Just look at Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy with a big belly, his earlobes incredibly long, almost draping over his shoulders.

His saffron yellow monk’s robe was even more splendid and eye-catching.

“You, a shameless renegade and a disgrace to your sect, what right do you have to preach to me?

Waste!” Li Qingming glanced sideways at Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy and said coldly.

The Jie Sect disciples watched Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy with great satisfaction.

For so many years, no one had ever reprimanded Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy like this!

It was truly satisfying, damn satisfying!

Especially Golden-haired Hou, who was under Guanyin, went crazy wagging its tail, with its mouth grinning all the way to the base of its ears.

“You!” Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy, furious and embarrassed, showed a fierce expression.

His hands shone with golden light, and a pair of thunderous Sky Shattering Hammers suddenly appeared.

His figure also swelled with the wind, rapidly inflating to the size of a small hill.

Judging by the fluctuations of his mana, it seems he’s at the Daluo Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

“Blasphemer, die for this Buddha Ancestor!” Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy, wielding the Sky Shattering Hammer in his hand, thunderously smashed it towards Li Qingming.

The bludgeon was heavy and the purple light cascaded like a waterfall, spewing out a length of thunderous light, pressing straight down towards Li Qingming’s head, leaving no room to evade!

It seemed that this fellow was using all his mana, determined to execute Li Qingming right there.

“Petty clown!

Scram!!!” Li Qingming did not even look at the incoming Sky Shattering Hammer pressing down on his head and roared loudly as if a Primordial savage dragon was hissing, shaking the land within several miles to tremble, all the endless vegetation instantly turned to ash, and mountains reaching for the Cangqiong collapsed in moments.

Then, Li Qingming was seen throwing a gentle punch, directed forward.

This seemingly simple punch directly pierced through the void, appearing between the chest and belly of Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy.

The merely two-inch-sized fist, upon contact with Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy, started to expand, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy swept frantically across the sky.

The overpowering momentum caused the space to collapse.

“Thud!” A sound like muffled thunder from Jing Valley emanated from the chest and belly of Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy.

With a successful strike, the massive fist instantly became an illusion and vanished without a trace.

“Spurt!”

Struck by this punch, Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy first stiffened, then his pupils suddenly constricted, and his large, mountainous physique was instantly sent flying.

The tightly coiled Buddha’s verse hair on his head scattered, and bright golden blood streamed from the corner of his mouth.

Shortly after, the Sky Shattering Hammer shattered, and the arms of Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy exploded into blood mist.

After a moment, his entire body began to crack.

The Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth surged out again, frantically compressing towards Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy, and the overwhelming Spiritual Energy brutally crushed him into a bloody mud, without even leaving behind a relic!

With a single blow, just one blow, Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy, who was at the Daluo Golden Immortal Middle Stage, was utterly annihilated on the spot!
