Chapter 790: Chapter 809: Fangs Exposed

This seemed like a Great Technique of compassion, but it was extremely malicious because a person’s character and thoughts are their own. If they were transformed after being enlightened, would they still be themselves?

For eight thousand years, Ye Xuan absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Myraid Buddha Spirit Pond. Although he was cautious and careful, he completely discarded the Buddhist nature within it, devouring the most essence of power. However, the will of Buddhist nature quietly took root throughout his body and even Ye Xuan couldn’t detect it.

At this moment, Ye Xuan finally understood that from the moment he arrived at Yuan Mountain, the Western Two Saints had already made their move. When he walked out from the Myraid Buddha Spirit Pond, the Western Two Saints finally revealed their fangs.

“Argh!”

The Golden Lotus Buddha Fire purified body and mind, not only eradicating the fierce aura on his body, but the Buddha Fire also entwined around his Undying True Spirit, like bone-clinging maggots gradually changing his will.

Pain! Pain deep in the marrow.

Fear! Fear to the extreme!

This was what Ye Xuan felt at the moment. The pain transmitted from his body did not make it unbearable, but his will was gradually weakening. The Undying True Spirit was also stagnant and a trace of Buddhist nature was quietly growing within his soul. If this continued, he was bound to be enlightened.

Losing his true self to become a Buddhist self, thereafter immersed deep in Buddhism. Although Ye Xuan had not died, it was as good as dead, because a Ye Xuan filled with Buddhist nature was no longer himself, and this was exactly the purpose of the Western Two Saints.

“Tribulation Immortal Transformation!”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan howled towards the sky; his gray-white hair turned blood-red from tip to root, and his ferocious eyes turned blood-colored, hoping to resist this transformation catastrophe through the Tribulation Immortal Transformation.

Buzz!

The Buddhist symbol revolved, transforming everything; the endless Buddha Light engulfed Ye Xuan. Under the blessing of the Infinite Buddha Light, the Golden Lotus Buddha Fire burned even more terrifyingly. In just a moment, all the fierce aura and bloody light around Ye Xuan shattered, and the gains from the Tribulation Immortal Transformation also dissipated.

“Damn it!”

Ye Xuan knelt on the ground, roared ferociously, and continuously smashed the ground with his fists. However, the fierce aura on his body was still quickly being erased, followed by the peaceful Buddha Light. A swastika symbol vaguely appeared on his forehead.

Danger, extreme danger. If he continued to be enlightened like this, Ye Xuan was destined to lose his self and completely transform into a monk of the Buddhist Sect, and thereafter he would no longer be himself.

“Heavenly Punishment Halberd!”

Ye Xuan roared ferociously, his brow shining as the Heavenly Punishment Halberd surged forth, releasing an ancient fierce aura, and thunderously struck towards the swastika above his head.

Clang!

The swastika revolved, eternal and indestructible. Although the Heavenly Punishment Halberd was known as the foremost weapon of slaughter through the ages, this swastika was not a tangible entity but something indescribable, and it could not be harmed at all.

“Argh!”

Ye Xuan groaned in agony, the Golden Lotus Buddha Fire becoming more terrifying. The Heavenly Punishment Halberd fell to the ground. Ye Xuan had lost even this last means of resistance, his eyes becoming increasingly weak, and his own will more blurred.

“Amitabha!”

Suddenly, a loud Buddhist chant emanated from Ye Xuan’s mouth, his body radiating an intense Buddha Light. His originally weak eyes now shone with a golden light, further exuding an overflowing sense of compassionate and sympathetic grace.

“No… no…!”

Suddenly, the compassionate expression on Ye Xuan’s face disappeared, twisting into something ferocious again, as the Buddha Light in his eyes transformed into a fierce aura. Clearly, Ye Xuan’s will was continually struggling against the Buddhist nature emerging from within him.

The Golden Lotus Buddha Fire blazed brilliantly, and Ye Xuan, prostrating on the ground, desperately resisted. His body alternated between radiating a fierce aura and the golden light of the Buddhist Sect. These shifting auras gave him an extremely eerie appearance at a glance.

Under the Bodhi Tree!

The Western Two Saints sat cross-legged, the earlier compassionate expression gone, their eyes intensely focused on the black and white chessboard before them, as if they were observing Ye Xuan’s transformation through it.

“What a Ye Xuan, to be able to persist to such an extent!” Zhunti spoke gravely.

“Don’t worry, younger brother, the Golden Lotus Buddha Fire transforms everything in Heaven and Earth. Ye Xuan has absorbed eight thousand years of Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy; he surely won’t last much longer,” Jieyin confidently asserted, though a hint of solemnity flickered through his eyes, revealing his true depth of concern beneath his composed exterior.

“Senior brother, although we have strategized for a long time and could say that bringing this child back to Yuan Mountain was virtually foolproof, this child is the protagonist of a major catastrophe of Heaven and Earth. Junior brother fears…” Zhunti hesitated to finish.

“Junior brother, if we want our Buddhist Sect to flourish greatly, we must take this risk. Only by transforming Ye Xuan into one of our own can our Buddhist Sect attain three Great Saints. Then even The Three Pure Ones will not be something to fear,” Jieyin said with a slight squint of his eyes.

“Senior brother, are you truly certain he is the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint?” Zhunti asked gravely.

“He definitely is; there can be no mistake.”

“The great catastrophe of Heaven and Earth has already commenced, Ye Xuan has stirred the winds and clouds of the Three Realms for a hundred thousand years, yet always remaining unscathed. Looking through the Three Realms, there is no one else like him. If he isn’t the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint, who else could be worthy of such a Saint Position?”

“Moreover, junior brother, don’t forget why Nuwa absolutely wants him dead—it’s because she became entangled in karma with Ye Xuan. Nuwa fears him becoming a Saint, and even more, fears him seeking her out in the future for retribution,” Jieyin stated with utmost certainty.

Hearing Jieyin’s words, Zhunti’s face fluctuated between light and shadow, a hint of worry flickering in his eyes. “Senior brother, if he truly is the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint, and we act like this today, our enmity may be much greater than that of Nuwa. If we fail to transform him into one of our own and he escapes to become a Saint in the future, then we may…”

Zhunti’s voice trembled, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, for the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint dictated the grand scheme of Heaven and Earth in the future, truly harboring a grudge against such would mean the Western Two Saints had to be extremely careful.

“Junior brother, don’t fret. The Golden Lotus Buddha Fire does not bring slaughter, it merely seeks to erase his fierce nature. As long as we can transform him into one of our own, from then on he shall be our disciple. With our help, he can rapidly become the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint. What then shall our Buddhist Sect fear in the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth?” Jieyin spoke confidently.

“Heaven and Earth are Limitless, all Laws extinguish!”

Suddenly, as the Western Two Saints conversed, a pitiful and angry roar came from the chessboard, causing it to shake vehemently. This was followed by a loud explosion, leaving the Western Two Saints in a stunned state.

Crack!

The black chessboard first showed spiderweb-like cracks, then explosively shattered before them, scattering Buddha Light across Yuan Mountain. Ye Xuan’s bloodied and battered figure heavily crashed before them.

“He… he actually destroyed his own cultivation?”

“Has… has this child gone mad?”

After a stunned moment, the Western Two Saints immediately recovered, uttering these shocked whispers, their eyes looking at Ye Xuan showing utmost trembling fear.
