Chapter 2018: Pinnacle Battle
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“Let’s act.” Qin Yuanfeng directly attacked after he spoke. This opponent was too powerful, one couldn’t feel any hesitation. Qin Wentian proposed a possible solution, they could try it out.
The Grim Reaper glanced at the Imperishable Heaven Lord and acted as well. For a time, death qi permeated the area as an incarnation of death appeared behind him. In an instant, countless seals of darkness manifested before him, these were all death seals and there were over a billion of them which flew forth and blasted into the giant buddha at the same time. If the giant buddha statue possess life, these death seals would instantly drain it of all vitality.
“BOOM!” When the billions of death seals slammed into the giant buddha, the golden buddha body turned pitch black, darkness devoured the golden light completely. Not only so, behind the giant buddha, the buddha lords and sacred buddhas of the western paradise also saw their bodies turning black. They looked about to be engulfed by the death seals.
Back then, the fame of the Grim Reaper spread throughout the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there was naturally no need to doubt his strength. If the aftershock of this attack was to come in contact with an ordinary deity, that deity would have already died umpteen times. He wouldn’t have any life force left.
“Kill!” The Grim Reaper shouted. Beiming Youhuang’s attacks also arrived. She unleashed her supreme dao that seemed equivalent in strength to a godking-level dao. The western world army abruptly halted once more as their souls were frozen, becoming ice statues again. The faith they provided also continued weakening.
The golden light radiating from the giant buddha wanted to counter-devour the death qi. However, because the faith energy dwindled, the giant buddha’s recovery rate also slowed.
“Time reversal.” His voice rang out once again in the air. Time was about to reverse but at this moment, Qin Wentian stood in the airspace above the western world army. His dao also extended out and enveloped the entire space as time intent within his body flowed outwards continuously. His flesh and blood and his dao bone flooded forth relentlessly as everything in this space crawled to a still. The giant buddha wanted time to reverse but he caused time to stop. This made the process of time reversal become extremely slow and gradually crawl to a halt.
Hua Taixu unleashed his heavenly dao illusion art. In the stilled spacetime, his dao entered the minds of the western world army, rousing many of them wake. Those people were no longer under the western world’s control. Their goal was to completely sever the connection between the western world army and the giant buddha before killing the giant buddha.
“Explode!” A shocking roar suddenly rang out. This voice belonged to the Grim Reaper. As the sound of his voice faded, the dao seals of death blasting into the giant buddha’s body abruptly exploded with unfathomable might. These death seals could actually draw the life force from the target’s body and continued to explode. For a time, death qi permeated the atmosphere. The body of the giant buddha turned completely dark, like a dead object.
Qin Yuanfeng, who had been constantly attacking, also arrived. Countless beams of light from the constellations bore down on him as a god sovereign’s silhouette manifested behind him. He also transformed into a boundlessly large giant and punched out with the force of the six paths. Six beams of light directly penetrated the giant buddha body. The six beams of light transformed into six dragons that continued ravaging the blackened body of the giant buddha, wreaking destruction.
Cracks appeared on the buddha body, after that, the pieces were either devoured by the dragons in the sky, sent to another spacetime, or buried in samsara… the gigantic buddha body was crumbling bit by bit.
The moment the cracks widened, the attacks from the six dragons grew even more ferocious as they sought to destroy everything. They transformed into six supremely powerful grand daos that could devour everything in the sky. In addition to the constant explosion of the death seals, all the spectators only felt that they were witnessing the fall of a god. This scene was simply too shocking.
The giant buddha was simply too terrifying, many peak characters of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms had to join forces to defeat him. If they didn’t join forces, most probably no one in this world would be a match for the giant buddha. Naturally, this buddha was only formed by the gathered faith of countless people in the western world army, its strength didn’t belong to an individual as well. If it wasn’t for the enemy peak experts being present, the giant buddha could surely do whatever he wanted as no one could stop him.
Shattered pieces of the buddha fell like meteors from the sky, it was unknown which part of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms they would land in. After a long time, others in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms inclined their heads and had shocked looks on their faces when they finally saw the falling pieces. Each piece contained the power from the dao of death and buddhic energy, they seemed like shattered parts of a giant divine weapon. Some of the pieces even caused the ground to be turn asunder from the impact of their landing. Only after a long time did they learn that these broken pieces were due to a great battle that occurred in the nine heavenly layers. These ordinary people had no way to imagine how terrifying that battle had been.
Naturally, all these were the aftermath. Back in the present, the giant buddha was in the midst of shattering. The six dragons became six beams of divine light that dove in and out from its body. Finally, the buddha shattered completely from the might of the force of six paths.
“Success!” The eyes of the experts from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect gleamed sharply. This battle hasn’t been easy at all, the giant buddha was too powerful and almost invincible. Their side finally managed to shatter the giant buddha statue. This time around, that Godking of the Western World should be about to show himself, right?
“It’s about time for us to act.” A faint smile could be seen on Yue Changkong’s face. He cast a glance at Che Hou. Che Hou nodded in agreement.
However, the heavenly deities from the various hegemonic powers around Yue Changkongal felt extremely uneasy. After personally witnessing the deity-level battle earlier, they all felt that given their current cultivation bases, they were clearly a few levels below in strength. They had long lost the rights to proclaim themselves as ‘hegemonic powers’ and have no qualifications to contend for the position of the ultimate king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Even though they followed Yue Changkong, at most, they could only be cannon fodder. Qin Wentian, Qin Yuanfeng, the Grim Reaper, in fact even Hua Taixu and Beiming Youhuang, any of them could easily destroy them all.
This deity-level battle might be a calamity for them.
Yue Changkong floated in the sky. He stretched out his hands and closed his eyes, appearing as though he was mesmerized.
“The grand banquet of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms has finally began.” An intoxicated voice rang out from his mouth. After that, boundless astral light from the constellations gathered on him. The stars in the sky seem to shift as a brilliant full moon appeared in the air. This moon was extremely large and its radiance outshone the starlight. In addition, this full moon continued to expand in size, gradually blotting out the constellations in the air.
Qin Wentian and the other inclined their heads, staring at the bleak, cold and desolate moon. This was a moon realm formed from Yue Changkong’s intent. After waiting for such a long time, Yue Changkong finally acted. He only acted after the giant buddha was destroyed. Clearly, he had also felt that the giant buddha from earlier was simply too powerful.
The power Yue Changkong was using belonged to that of the Moon God instead of his past life. His past life as Godking Gu, allowed him to devour Qin Dangtian and allowed him to merge the half of the Moon God’s inheritance that Qin Dangtian obtained with the other half he possessed, forming the complete dao of the Moon God.
The Moon God’s schemes laid in the Divine Mausoleum, he wanted to return after countless years. Qin Dangtian wasn’t able to control the power of the inheritance fully but Yue Changkong, depending on the dao Godking Gu was most proficient in, managed to combine the Moon God’s dao and integrate it with himself.
“The grand banquet of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the last frenzy. Is everyone prepared?” Yue Changkong drew in a deep breath. The moon light cascaded down, enveloping the boundlessly vast space under it. This world became a moon devouring world, there seemed to be a hazy film covering the sky.
A faint shadow seemed to be cast on the hearts of everyone. Qin Wentian knew he could no longer focus solely on attacking the buddhist cultivators from the western world. His figure flashed as he returned to Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng’s side. Yue Changkong was just too dangerous. He had experienced Yue Changkong’s Moon God Eyes once, it felt extremely terrifying. Once one was caught within, it was exceedingly difficult to extricate themselves from it. Now, Yue Changkong’s strength would only be stronger than before.
A genuine moon god seemed to appear in the sky. This figure stood behind the moon and was like the supreme god. The moon was simply one of his eyes. Moonlight was his gaze.
“Things are about to begin.” The figure standing behind the moon spoke in Yue Changkong’s voice, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble.
As the voice of Yue Changkong rang out, beams of moonlight cascaded down, flowing towards Qin Wentian as well as the heavenly deities of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect around him. These beams are purely light from the moon? There was no way to evade them.
Qin Wentian’s eyes changed, becoming terrifying to the extreme. Divine runes manifested around him, shrouding his surroundings. The runewords fused together, transforming into a barrier of light that blocked the moonlight. These caused the beams of moonlight to ricochet off upon contact.
The shining runes contained the power from the dao of sealing within.
Within the moon, numerous black figures resembling heavenly hounds were spawned, seeking to devour the moonlight. After that, Qin Wentian discovered that the heavenly hounds grew in size and power and began to lunge over, aiming for him, seemingly endless in number. Their goal was to break the barrier of runes. Upon impact, the heavenly hounds unleashed the power of devouring against the sealing energy, causing the protective barrier to be riddled with holes.
These heavenly hounds seemed capable of devouring the dao. Swift after, the barrier made from sealing runes began to crumble as the moonlight seeped through.
Qin Yuanfeng furrowed his brows as he glanced at Qin Wentian’s direction. Qin Wentian had to fight while caring for the safety of the people around him. He was completely restrained and it was very troublesome for him. His figure flashed as he flew towards the moon in the sky. Many of the heavenly hounds sensed his approach and lunged towards him. However, his surroundings were filled with the force of the six paths. These six great daos couldn’t be controlled by any other daos. The heavenly hounds that rushed him simply disintegrated into ashes. They had no way to block Qin Yuanfeng from flying into the air.
Those people in Qin Wentian’s surroundings who were being protected by him all felt somewhat depressed. No matter what, they were still heavenly deities yet they actually became burdens now?
In truth, this couldn’t be blamed on them being weak. Rather, it was because Yue Changkong was now someone with the power level of a godking and Qin Wentian was worried that his friends and loved ones would be killed, hence he acted to protect them. Although they were also heavenly deities, they wouldn’t be able to withstand any one of Yue Changkong’s attacks.
Yue Changkong was extremely evil. If he found an opportunity to do so, Qin Wentian believed that Yue Changkong would surely act against the people who were closest to him. If such a situation truly occurred, he would definitely regret it forever.
