Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: The Legend of the Ancient Buddha

"How is that possible...Could it be..."

Kun Qu’s body trembled as he stared at the black hole in front of Xuanyuan, which quickly shrank and then disappeared without a trace.

The starry sky instantly fell silent as if the Chaos Demon Infant had never appeared.

Xuanyuan was covered in cold sweat; that aura was so powerful it had made his skin crawl.

A Saint!

It was definitely a Saint!

Xuanyuan himself was an entity completed in the Manifesting Saint Realm, already contending for the Path of Sainthood. Even though he wasn’t a Half Holy yet, he understood what that magnificent aura signified.

Qin Jun was also frightened. To be able to snatch the Chaos Demon Infant from Xuanyuan’s hands, one had to be at least a Half Holy, but judging from their methods, it was more likely a Saint.

"A Saint... Could it be that he has been lurking and watching the battle all along, protecting the Chaos Demon Infant?"

Fuxi said with an ugly expression, the other party was definitely not someone who had just arrived by chance.

It was very possible that they had been lurking in the shadows all along, only intervening when the Chaos Demon Infant was in danger.

They claimed it was for enlightenment, but it was clear they intended to forcibly protect the Chaos Demon Infant.

But faced with a Saint, what could they do?

Millions of beings were dead silent; they had not anticipated that a mysterious presence would come to the rescue.

Randeng furrowed his brows tightly; for some reason, that aura felt strikingly similar to Jieyin and Cundi, leaving him utterly puzzled.

Could it be that the two leaders had also descended ahead of schedule?

"All lies..."

Di Tianwu’s face was incredibly grim; he wasn’t foolish and understood that the Saint had been watching the whole time.

They were fighting a bloody battle, only to be treated as jesters; how could his proud nature tolerate this?

"No wonder those powerhouses didn’t take action, so it was like this..."

Kun Qu said with a bitter smile. He was the Fourth Heaven’s Chosen and held a high status in the Kun Family, privy to much information.

The Chaos Demon Infant had been causing trouble for some time, but which of the powerhouses had taken action?

Even the Demon League had only sent one elder, and even after being devoured by the Chaos Demon Infant, they had not sent troops for revenge.

Everything reeked of mystery.

Now, a Saint had rescued the Chaos Demon Infant, and the fog of confusion had been instantly lifted.

The Saint was breeding the Chaos Demon Infant!

This conjecture made Kun Qu and Di Tianwu shudder to their core, their souls trembling.

Tai Shang Lao Jun also knitted his brows tightly, murmuring, "I did not expect that a Saint of this universe would make a move... The Chaos Demon Infant... the Blood Devouring Demon God?"

His true form was Laozi, and Laozi was a Saint.

The things valued by Saints often related to qi movement and teachings.

Though the Chaos Demon Infant was a demon, utterly cruel, it was just born and immature in mind. Plus, with over a thousand powerful bloodlines, if nurtured well, its achievements could be unimaginable.

"Damn it..."

It took a while before Qin Jun burst out with a curse.

He had almost killed the Chaos Demon Infant to complete the task, only for a Saint to emerge unexpectedly.

Fortunately, the Saint had not acted against them.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger; that person must have been watching the Chaos Demon Infant for a long time," Fuxi hastened to explain, fearing that Qin Jun would vent his anger on Xuanyuan.

Qin Jun had an unsightly expression, and Lingming was trembling with fear, his little face appearing very wronged, as though he might cry at any moment.

The Chaos Demon Infant posed too great a threat, and now someone had rescued it. That person claimed they wouldn’t let the Chaos Demon Infant out to wreak havoc in the universe again, but who could believe that?

Xuanyuan’s expression was awkward. He eventually retracted his Xuanyuan Sword and flew toward Qin Jun and the others.

Millions of beings looked at each other in silence. The majority were seething with anger. How many beings had the Chaos Demon Infant devoured? And it was all over with a single claim of taking it back for enlightenment?

"Who exactly is that person?"

"Damn it! Someone is actually sheltering the Chaos Demon Infant; such evil intentions deserve death!"

"Shh—The one who rescued the Chaos Demon Infant without showing themselves is definitely a super powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the universe."

"Are we just going to let this go?"

"Sigh, this is all determined by fate!"

The spiritual beings began to curse, the faces of the prodigies looked terrible, but more than that, there was fear.

The higher one stood, the more they knew, and the more they had to fear.

"Could it be the Ancient Buddha..."

The eighth prodigy, Hua Fei, trembled, murmuring to himself, his words filled with fear.

Ancient Buddha!

Buddhism had existed in this universe from the beginning, once incredibly powerful, then for unknown reasons, it receded to the depths of the universe. Afterward, all the major forces and religious orders began to ostracize Buddhism, until today when Buddhism declined, unable to become a significant force anymore.

"Ding! Main quest triggered—Discover the Ancient Buddha! Quest details: A powerful being suspected to be the Ancient Buddha has rescued the Chaos Demon Fetus. If the host discovers the Ancient Buddha, they will receive a chance to listen to the Dao, a God and Demon summoning chance, a God and Demon peak opportunity, an extreme awakening chance, and three random lottery chances!"

The system prompt rang again, causing Qin Jun’s eyes to sharpen.

"The saint who rescued the Chaos Demon Fetus is the Ancient Buddha?"

Qin Jun felt somewhat heavy-hearted, as he had heard many legends about the Ancient Buddha in the Xuandang Great World.

At the birth of the Human Clan, the Ancient Buddha was incredibly strong, not only reigning over the Xuandang Great World but also possessing immense influence in the universe.

Even the White Emperor had mentioned the Ancient Buddha multiple times, as if longing for the place the Ancient Buddha had gone to.

"Your Majesty... I..."

Xuanyuan came before Qin Jun, speaking with shame, but he found himself unable to voice his words.

He had confidently promised to capture the Chaos Demon Fetus, but someone had rescued it, resulting in a painfully embarrassing setback.

"It’s alright, you can’t be blamed for this."

Qin Jun waved his hand, saying even the combined force of the three emperors couldn’t kill the Chaos Demon Fetus protected by a saint.

"Let’s head back to the city!"

Qin Jun, holding Lingming, leaped into the sky, with Fuxi quickly retracting the River Map, and Xuanyuan following closely behind.

All members of King Yan Palace saw Qin Jun flying towards them and kneeled in the void together.

"We greet Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of thousands of spiritual beings shouted together, a sight that stirred the soul.

The next second, all the soldiers and spiritual beings within King Yan City began to shout as well, their voices shaking the starry sky.

Beings from other forces also looked at Qin Jun with reverence; although the Chaos Demon Fetus was rescued, the ability of Xuanyuan to easily capture it had also intimidated them.

They all understood that in the future, the Wu Blue Star Region would see the rise of a colossal power.

King Yan Palace!

The Yan Emperor would become one of the top powerhouses in the Wu Blue Star Region.

"Back to the city!"

Qin Jun said, waving his sleeve and then continuing to fly toward King Yan City with Lingming in his arms, followed by a mighty procession of hundreds of thousands from King Yan Palace.

"Why is His Majesty holding a child?"

Liu Chenxiang asked Yang Chan curiously, causing Yang Chan’s expression to become slightly unnatural.

The Six-Eared Macaque scoffed from the side: "That is His Majesty’s son, don’t you know?"

When they had not yet left the Xuandang Great World, the news of the holy fetus had already been widely spread.

Liu Chenxiang, immersed in cultivation, had not heard of it.

"Disperse!"

Wu Gangqiu spoke in a heavy tone and then, taking the disciples of the Wuxuan Sect, departed.

Hua Fei’s eyes flickered, leading several dozen prodigies toward King Yan City.

Di Tianwu and Kun Qu stood opposite each other, silent for a long time, before finally slowly looking up.

"Enough, this is no longer something we can intervene in. When you go back, tell the Divine Emperor that the Ancient Buddha intervened, and he probably won’t blame you,"

Kun Qu shook his head with a sigh, the legend of the Ancient Buddha appearing once more—could it be that the Great Conflict Era was truly approaching?
