Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 455 - 455 464 Leaving Gracefully

455: Chapter 464: Leaving Gracefully 455: Chapter 464: Leaving Gracefully “Heaven and Earth are Limitless, Daluo Nine Revolutions!”

Ye Xuan, seated cross-legged in the heavenly vault, wore an excited and twisted expression as he wildly refined this unimaginably powerful force.

The Daluo Golden Core within his Sea of Consciousness also underwent an extremely terrifying transformation.

Buzz!

The Daluo Golden Core, smooth and flawless, burst forth with intense golden light, yet a hint of darkness began to grow within the Golden Core, causing it to show cracks like the onset of a horrendously terrifying metamorphosis.

“Amitabha Buddha!”

Suddenly, at this critical moment, an immeasurable Buddhist chant echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Out of nowhere, a Buddha appeared, stepping on auspicious clouds, causing the Ten Great Demon Kings’ expressions to drastically change.

They instantly surrounded Ye Xuan in the center, staring at the newcomer with extreme horror.

“Maitreya Buddha?”

Upon recognizing the visitor, the Swallowing Heaven Toad let out a horrified low roar, a look of despair crossing its eyes.

The other Demon Kings too trembled in spirit, never having expected the Western visitor to be this formidable being.

Maitreya Buddha, a powerful figure from Western Lingshan, possessed skills that pierce the heavens and the Earth.

His most renowned Buddhist Great Method is ‘Qiankun Heaven and Earth.’ Though not quite on par with Duobao Tathagata or the Peacock Great Ming King, he was nevertheless a dreadful figure on the verge of crossing the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

“Amitabha Buddha, well spoken, well spoken.”

Maitreya Buddha’s smile faded as he spoke with compassion, for this world was too tragic, with billions of demons perishing.

Even he, a Western Buddha, could not reveal any smile.

“Who would have thought Kong Li was actually Emperor Dongji?

You have committed such heinous slaughters that invoke the wrath of Heaven and man, do you not fear the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation?” said Maitreya Buddha, hands pressed together in prayer.

“Swallowing Heaven Toad!”

All of a sudden, Ye Xuan roared ferociously, causing the Swallowing Heaven Toad to startle and hastily turn to look at him.

But when it saw Ye Xuan’s condition at that moment, it too became tremulously silent.

At this time, Ye Xuan’s brow shone brightly.

His Daluo Golden Core was cracking bit by bit; a thread of black light poured out from the Golden Core, wrapping around Ye Xuan, as if he was undergoing an unimaginable transformation.

“One moment, just one moment’s time is all I ask of you to hold off this bald thief.

After that, you must flee this place swiftly,” Ye Xuan growled ominously.

His energy had already been locked onto by Maitreya Buddha, and the Daluo Golden Core in his Sea of Consciousness was reaching Great Success, undergoing an unimaginable transformation.

He simply could not confront Maitreya Buddha in battle.

“Don’t worry, big brother.

We will fight to the death to protect you,” declared the Swallowing Heaven Toad with conviction, clearly prepared to risk everything.

The other Demon Kings exchanged glances, each seeing the determination to fight to the death in the others’ eyes.

It wasn’t so much that these Demon Kings were extraordinarily loyal to Ye Xuan, but they had already cast their lot with him.

When Ye Xuan killed the South Sea Guanyin, and if Lingshan were to learn of it, they would not be spared.

Now, having become Ye Xuan’s minions and slaughtered billions of lives, even if they abandoned Ye Xuan today and fled, Lingshan would certainly seek to eradicate them in the future—it was inevitable.

The Ten Great Demon Kings had only one path to survival: to protect Ye Xuan.

They had finally realized that Ye Xuan’s astounding slaughter in the Northern Continent was actually a cultivation of a heaven-defying Law.

Only if Ye Xuan could break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal could they live well under his protection.

“Kill!”

The Swallowing Heaven Toad roared fiercely, unleashing its Innate Divine Ability.

The other nine Demon Kings did not dare to hesitate either, pulling out all the stops and combining their forces to attack Maitreya Buddha.

“Amitabha Buddha!”

Maitreya Buddha’s smile reappeared with a wave of compassionate Buddha Light rippling out.

A colossal Buddha’s palm formed in the sky above, descending directly upon the Ten Great Demon Kings.

Boom!

A single strike, just one strike, saw the White Deer King burst into a mist of blood, dying miserably in the void.

The Lionheart King’s body was fractured, spewing demon blood, his Primordial Spirit shattered and doomed to death.

The Roc King’s arms were broken, his throat emitting cries of despair.

Although he had not been killed by a palm strike from Maitreya Buddha, he was gravely injured and close to death, plummeting down towards the boundless earth.

“Run!”

The other Demon Kings didn’t fare any better; each one was seriously wounded.

The Swallowing Heaven Toad’s body was cracked and, not even glancing at Ye Xuan, hurried ahead, escaping on a beam of demon light.

Because Ye Xuan had said earlier that they only needed to buy him a moment’s time, and now that moment had passed.

Even if they were willing to fight to the death for Ye Xuan, it would only result in meaningless casualties.

At this moment, the only right choice was to flee.

With the Ten Great Demon Kings either dead or escaped, Maitreya Buddha didn’t pursue them, for these little demons were simply insignificant in his eyes.

His true focus was solely on Ye Xuan.

“Emperor Dongji, you’ve committed heinous slaughter today.

Previously, you killed South Sea Guanyin and even impersonated a descendent of the King of Brightness.

Today, I can only undertake the task of subduing demons and vanquishing evil,” Maitreya Buddha said with a smile, as he casually walked towards Ye Xuan.

But what he failed to notice was that the aura he had locked onto Ye Xuan had already dissipated without a trace.

“Subduing demons, vanquishing evil?”

Ye Xuan sneered fiercely, “What a pity, what a pity.

If you had come at me directly just now, perhaps you really could have killed me here.

But your arrogance has been your biggest miscalculation, assuming that you had me cornered.”

“Qiankun without limits, Heaven and Earth without trace!”

Boom!

Ye Xuan roared fiercely, his body surrounded by swirling black mist.

The Daluo Golden Core within his Sea of Consciousness was already full of cracks, yet the emanation from it was so eerie that it allowed Ye Xuan to tear apart the fabric of this world’s space-time, disappearing suddenly from Maitreya Buddha’s sight.

“Stop!”

Maitreya Buddha’s expression changed drastically, his Buddhist palms striking out to try and fix the world in place.

But to his utter shock, his Buddhist Great Divine Power failed completely, utterly unable to detain Ye Xuan.

All was silent, the world voiceless.

Maitreya Buddha’s smile had vanished, his face turning extremely red with shame.

He was humiliated beyond measure, unable to comprehend how Ye Xuan managed to escape right under his watch.

How could he report back to the Randeng Buddha with this disgrace?

“No, the Qiankun Heaven and Earth is my Great Divine Power.

Even when facing peers, it should be impossible for it to fail.

The aura on this boy is too strange, as if he is undergoing a tremendous transformation!” Maitreya Buddha muttered, a hint of panic in his eyes.

He had just felt an aura from Ye Xuan that filled him with an extreme sense of dread, as though inside Ye Xuan was an unimaginable terror, unsettling him to the core.

“Amitabha Buddha!”

Maitreya Buddha chanted the Buddha’s name and with a step, golden clouds rose under his feet, and he returned to Lingshan, intent on revealing Ye Xuan’s true identity to Buddha.

As for what would happen next, that would be for Buddha to decide.

…

Fire, endless fire, magma, Earth Core magma.

This was a world of fire, with the terrifying Earth Core magma steaming, where even a Luotian Golden Immortal would instantly turn to ash upon entering.

This place was the Earth Core, where no living being would venture, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal out of sheer boredom, for there was no Spiritual Energy here, no Cave Heaven Blessed Land—only the annihilating Earth Core magma.
