The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 818 Buddha’s Glory

Chapter 818: Chapter 818 Buddha’s Glory

"Gurgle—"

Young Master You’s head landed on the shattered ground and rolled toward the bottom of a nearby pit.

This scene struck the four guards like lightning, making them tremble, and even though they were wearing Asian conical hats, one could guess that their expressions must be filled with rage and disbelief.

Liu Chenxiang was slightly startled, not expecting Wang Jian to act so decisively.

All Wang Jian said with cold pride was, "His Majesty once declared, ’Upon capturing Young Master You, execute him on the spot!’"

Meanwhile, on top of the city wall, Qin Jun’s mind echoed with a system notification:

"Ding! Side quest completed—Young Master You’s Killing Intent! You have obtained one-time peak opportunity of God and Demon, one-time God and Demon summoning chance, and one-time God and Demon legion summoning chance! At the same time, you have become hostile with the Netherworld and incurred the wrath of the Nether Emperor!"

Because the distance was too far, Qin Jun was unable to see the death of Young Master You, but he was still pleased to hear the system notification.

As for offending the Nether Emperor?

Heh!

He was not afraid at all!

Young Master You sought to kill him, which was asking for trouble!

Qin Jun’s mouth curled into a smile as he twisted his neck and said with a laugh, "It seems the time to go to war with the Netherworld is drawing closer."

Yang Chan, standing next to him, was shocked and couldn’t help but ask, "Is it really appropriate to confront the Netherworld now?"

Although she did not understand military tactics, she knew that compared to the massive forces of King Yan Palace and the Netherworld, there was a significant disparity.

"Only through waging war can we grow stronger," said Qin Jun with a shrug and a laugh, the thorn in his heart always being Chu Juhuai, the immortal.

Chu Juhuai had disappeared, possibly venturing beyond this world, and he had to become as strong as possible.

The entire world was hunting Chu Juhuai, yet this fellow had not been found by anyone; even Qin Jun had to admire him for that.

Little did they know, Chu Juhuai had already been kidnapped by Randeng.

"I’ll fight you to the end!"

One of Young Master You’s guards shouted angrily; they had watched Young Master You grow up from a young age, much like their own child, and they lost their rationality when they saw him being killed.

As for fleeing?

They didn’t even consider it; facing the Nether Emperor afterwards would lead to a dead end anyway.

The four guards activated their magic power, intending to self-destruct and kill Liu Chenxiang and the others.

It was at this moment that a golden giant palm descended from the sky, unmistakably from the Tathāgata. He was not only fighting Xia Yanye but also kept an eye on Young Master You and his people. Seeing the four guards intending to self-destruct, he simply struck down with his palm.

Boom—

The domineering golden giant palm smashed down, instantly hitting the four guards, and Liu Chenxiang and the rest were knocked away before they even had the chance to react.

A palm strike from a Daluo Luoshi in the mid-phase of the Immortal Realm, instantly killing four Daluo Golden Immortals, was definitely not a difficult task!

Especially when the one attacking was Tathāgata.

"Hiss—Young Master You is dead?"

"Things have escalated..."

"Has King Yan Palace gone mad, daring to kill Young Master You?"

"The Nether Emperor is someone who never lets an offence slip by!"

"King Yan Palace is not an easy target either; they dare to declare war before the arrival of the Nine Emperors, their ambition is unimaginable!"

The watching beings buzzed with discussion, and the creatures above King Yan City as well as the soldiers on the battleground were dumbfounded.

In the Demon Waste, Young Master You was no minor figure; killing him was equivalent to forming a personal vendetta with the Nether Emperor.

No one had expected the prior rumors within King Yan City to be true.

The Yan Emperor truly intended to kill Young Master You!

Seeing Young Master You decapitated, Xia Yanye’s eyes burst with bloodlust, and a familiar voice echoed in his heart, "You said you would protect me for a lifetime, but you once sought to kill me. You couldn’t protect me, nor could you protect my son."

Xia Yanye, who had already lost his sanity, felt his resentment swell explosively when provoked by that voice. He threw back his head and howled, the shadow formed from the resentment behind him growing even larger.

The Resentful God!

The mighty being from ancient times was on the verge of a successful possession!

Tathāgata fiercely turned his head, looking at the Resentful God forming behind Xia Yanye. Under the black robe, his eyes revealed a sharp intensity.

"You’ve finally come out!"

Tathāgata cried out in a deep voice, as loud as thunder, drawing the attention of all beings again. When they saw the phantom of the Resentful God, they all gasped in shock.

The Resentful God was only a dark shadow, but it made people’s hearts tremble with fear just by looking at it.

It was as if it came from the abyss of hell.

"Huh... how many years has it been... this feeling..."

The phantom of the Resentful God murmured, its voice cold and eerie, giving even Qin Jun goosebumps.

"Ding! Side quest triggered — Exorcise the Resentful God! Quest details: The legendary Resentful God has awakened. He is one of the ancient demons, seeking to slaughter all beings between heaven and earth. If the host eliminates the Resentful God, they will receive one opportunity to summon a God and Demon, one chance to challenge a God and Demon instance, and the grace of the Heavenly Dao!"

A system prompt suddenly resonated in Qin Jun’s mind, startling him.

One of the ancient demons?

Intent on slaughtering all beings under heaven?

Madness!

Qin Jun internally criticized, yet his eyes narrowed as he shouted loudly, "Kill it for me! It doesn’t matter where it comes from!"

Tathāgata’s lips curved in a slight smile; he had no intention of sparing Xia Yanye even without Qin Jun’s command.

The crazed Xia Yanye, along with the phantom of the Resentful God, attacked Tathāgata once more. The Resentful God spread its arms, laughing maniacally as if it had no awareness of being in the midst of battle.

"Amitabha! You’ve finally shown yourself. Today I shall rid the common folk of this scourge!"

Tathāgata brought his hands together, sitting cross-legged in the void, and began chanting. The Buddhist chant resonated through heaven and earth. His body began to emit blinding golden light, making him shine like the sun.

Xia Yanye had not even touched Tathāgata before stopping in his track. He just felt an excruciating pain in his soul. The golden light from Tathāgata scorched his entire body, and if he had not lost his reason, he certainly would have retreated explosively.

Even the Resentful God raised its arms to shield itself from the golden light and cursed in alarm, "What is this... Buddha? Impossible! Didn’t the Buddha travel beyond the heavens long ago?"

Most Buddhist methods were created with the concept of subduing demons. As a Buddha himself, Tathāgata’s ability to subdue demons was more than tenfold stronger than that of the Zhenwu Emperor.

Even with his face covered by the black robe, Tathāgata inspired a feeling of worship from onlookers.

"This Buddhist chant... makes me feel an urge to bow in respect..."

"How much he resembles Tathāgata!"

"Tathāgata? Impossible, didn’t the Holy Emperor of Qin take him away?"

"Could he be Tathāgata’s fellow disciple?"

"Is that Buddha’s light..."

Countless beings were exclaiming in shock, venerating Tathāgata’s move.

Even Qin Jun couldn’t help but be moved by this sight of Tathāgata. This demeanor was what he imagined a Buddha should embody!

Exalted, sacred, and inviolable!

"Ahhh—"

Xia Yanye began to scream tragically, retreating instinctively. His skin was charred, blood was streaming down, and he looked utterly miserable.

The Resentful God cursed, "Damn monk! Do you know who you are offending?"

Tathāgata remained unmoved, continuing to recite the sutras, exorcising all evil spirits.

Xia Yanye fell to the ground, clutching his head, frantically trying to flee, but the entire battlefield had been leveled; there was nowhere to run.

Liu Chenxiang and the others, looking at Tathāgata’s figure, couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Too powerful...
