Chapter 491 - 491 500 Retrieve with a Single Touch

491: Chapter 500: Retrieve with a Single Touch 491: Chapter 500: Retrieve with a Single Touch Two supremes, confronting each other across the heavenly vault.

Duobao Tathagata sat cross-legged on a Nine-Rank Golden Lotus, softly chanting Buddhist scriptures.

A round of Buddha Light rose behind him, imbuing Duobao Tathagata with a sacred solemnity.

Ye Xuan sat loftily on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, his face slightly tinged with laziness.

However, the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor spread throughout the eight directions of Heaven and Earth, instilling a profound sense of reverence in those who looked upon him.

The master of the Western Lingshan and the ruler of the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, commanding respect and reverence throughout the Three Realms, his every move intertwined with the safety of the Three Realms.

Should the two engage in combat, it would surely lead to a cataclysmic upheaval within the Three Realms, symbolizing a complete severance between Lingshan and the Heavenly Court.

“Amitabha.”

Suddenly, when the atmosphere between Heaven and Earth became oppressively tense, Duobao Tathagata finally dispersed all the Buddha Light surrounding him, clearly not wishing to engage in a great battle with Ye Xuan.

It was not that Duobao feared Ye Xuan.

As the master of Lingshan and at the peak of Daluo, how could he fear Ye Xuan, the newly appointed Heavenly Emperor?

But if he truly struck at Ye Xuan, it would inevitably bring about a dire calamity, which was not the outcome he wished to see.

“Today, there is an Arhat in my Lingshan who has shown disrespect to the Heavenly Emperor and rightfully deserves death; I have no objections to this.

However, Yun Zhongzi has committed no wrongdoing and is a disciple of a Saint.

I implore Heavenly Emperor Ye to release his Primordial Spirit,” Duobao Tathagata said.

Yun Zhongzi was an exceedingly important figure among the disciples of the Chan Sect.

Duobao Tathagata came here today for two reasons; one was to see Heavenly Emperor Ye in person, and the second was to prevent Ye Xuan from taking action against the Chan Sect.

“I am a disciple of a Saint, and even the Heavenly Emperor cannot demand that I kneel.

I implore the Heavenly Emperor to see clearly.”

Although Yun Zhongzi’s physical body had been completely destroyed, leaving only his Primordial Spirit, he still spoke to Ye Xuan without flinching or servility.

Clearly, as a disciple of a Saint, he also possessed his own pride.

If he truly submitted to Ye Xuan, it would be a loss of face for the Chan Sect.

“Heavenly Emperor Ye, please release Yun Zhongzi’s Primordial Spirit.”

Duobao Tathagata spoke with solemnity, his eyes opening and closing with a subtle threatening intent, seemingly telling Ye Xuan, “You are merely a junior in the rank of Heavenly Emperors.

If you do not grant face to my Lingshan and the Chan Sect, your position as Heavenly Emperor will not be stable.”

At that moment,

All Daoist sects fell silent, the Immortals and Demons watched quietly.

Only the Immortals from Jie Sect and the Evil Demons focused their attention on Ye Xuan.

They did not know whether Ye Xuan would compromise and release Yun Zhongzi’s Primordial Spirit.

In fact, even if Ye Xuan released Yun Zhongzi’s Primordial Spirit, the immortals from Jie Sect and the Evil Demons would understand since Duobao Tathagata was present, as well as the immortals from Chan Sect.

Both these great Daoist sects were founded by Saints, and it would be wise for Ye Xuan, who had just ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, not to offend both sects.

“Duobao, you are merely the master of Lingshan and dare to instruct me, the Emperor?

Do you think this is your Western Lingshan?”

All of a sudden, Ye Xuan spoke in a somber tone, giving no face to Duobao Tathagata.

What followed happened very swiftly, catching all the Daoist sects off guard and causing the group of immortals to gasp in shock.

“I am the Supreme Emperor of the Three Realms and the master of myriad spirits.

Yun Zhongzi has shown disrespect to me, which is a sin of deceiving Heaven.

His only fate is death!”

Bang!

“No!”

Ye Xuan appeared calm and indifferent, but his palm glowed as an extremely terrifying force attacked Yun Zhongzi’s Primordial Spirit.

Instantly, his Primordial Spirit was crushed in his hand, and from within Yun Zhongzi’s Primordial Spirit, a mournful and pitiful scream echoed.

Silence, absolute silence, like the silence of death.

As Ye Xuan released the Primordial Spirit Golden Light from his hand, an extremely tyrannical atmosphere ascended between heaven and earth.

The compassionate expression of Duobao Tathagata faded, his face slightly distorted, and the look in his eyes toward Ye Xuan was filled with uncontrollable murderous intent.

“How audacious!”

With a thunderous roar, Buddha bellowed in anger.

Ye Xuan dared to kill someone right in front of him, Duobao Tathagata, showing no regard for him as the master of the Western Lingshan, which was also a great humiliation to him.

When Buddha became enraged, heaven and earth turned upside down—this was no mere saying but an extremely terrifying event.

Infinite Buddha Light obscured the sky and the land, as the rolling Immortal Light swept across mountains and rivers.

Duobao Tathagata assumed an angry Vajra Dharma Image, and the Buddha’s Golden Bowl materialized, with the pervasive Buddha Light bursting throughout the heavenly vault like a roaring Heavenly River.

Bang, bang, bang!

The heavenly vault collapsed and reformed, the void sank into oblivion, the Nine Grade Golden Lotus bloomed with infinite Buddha Light, and suddenly Duobao Tathagata extended his Buddha palm.

With the heavens and earth changing, a sky-blocking Buddha palm appeared, carrying the mighty power that suppressed all things, and it slammed down toward Ye Xuan.

Duobao Tathagata, a terrifying figure at the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge, was one of the strongest few in the Three Realms where no Quasi-Saints emerged.

When he took action against Ye Xuan, the terrifying spectacle created was unimaginable.

“Old Duobao, let this Emperor experience your methods.”

Ye Xuan, seated high on the Heavenly Emperor’s throne, remained motionless as he too struck out with his palm.

At that instant, chaos erupted in this space and time, ten thousand celestial sounds exploded in all directions, strands of mysterious mist echoed all around, transforming into a huge heavenly palm that furiously approached Duobao Tathagata.

Boom!

The clash of two supreme forces gave rise to a terrifying and intense light that engulfed both Duobao Tathagata and Ye Xuan.

Mere terrifying aftershocks made Immortals and Demons retreat in fear, lest they be touched by the slightest bit and meet a fate of soul scattering.

Heaven and earth collapsed, Spiritual Energy went berserk, the spacetime of this realm was thrown into disorder, the light from the Immortals and Buddha was too intense, and the vast Observation Platform turned to ash in an instant.

Woo!

A wild wind blew through the realm, the chaotic energy of this realm gradually stabilized, and the strands of disturbed Heaven and Earth Laws returned to normal, allowing various Daoist lineages to once again see the clear scene in the heavenly vault.

Above the vault of heaven, within the void.

Duobao Tathagata sat cross-legged on the Nine Grade Golden Lotus, holding the Golden Bowl, his body enveloped in a brilliant and intense Buddha Light.

Yet, he also carried an unprecedented demonic aura as he stared intensely at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, high on the Heavenly Emperor’s throne, supported his chin with one arm, his eyes slightly narrowed, also gazing at Duobao Tathagata, a hint of a sinister and chilling color quietly curling on his lips.

From that previous strike, no one knew what had happened, nor did they know who had won or lost; only Duobao Tathagata and Ye Xuan had an idea in their hearts.

“Ye Xuan, since you’ve ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor, you should be plotting for the benefit of all beings in the Three Realms.

Yet not only did you kill Yun Zhongzi, but you also targeted our Lingshan and the Chan Sect lineage, it seems today this poor monk must truly experience the extent of your capabilities.”

Duobao Tathagata spoke with fury in his eyes.

Having already clashed with Ye Xuan, he would directly suppress him, letting Ye Xuan understand that there are always higher heavens and others beyond oneself.

In their previous collision, Duobao Tathagata felt that Ye Xuan was only at the Daluo Third Layer Heaven, but his Immortal Power was extremely domineering and filled with a kind of indescribable Power of Destruction, which enabled him to withstand his attack.

However, for Duobao Tathagata, even though Ye Xuan’s combat power defied the heavens and he possessed many secret techniques, his Cultivation Realm was clear—he simply could not be his match.
