Little Black looked coldly at the Buddhist sect below, at the slowly condensing phantoms of ten thousand Buddhas whose might shook the heavens, and at the five Ancient Buddhas whose auras were linked as they drew upon the power of an imperial weapon.
From beginning to end, his eyes remained utterly calm.
It was as though he were watching a group of ants struggle in vain.
He could not be bothered to waste any more words.
He simply raised his right hand and gently pressed it downward toward the Sumeru Ancient Temple, stretching across ten thousand miles beneath him and radiating Buddhist light into the heavens, as well as the five Ancient Buddhas standing ready for battle.
“Boom—!!!”
The heavens and earth lost their color, and the sun and moon dimmed!
A gigantic palm, too immense to describe, appeared out of thin air, blotting out the sky and sun!
Its palm lines resembled mountain ranges and ravines, wrapped in chaotic currents capable of annihilating all laws. It contained a destructive will so terrifying that the entire Xuanhuang Great World trembled before it.
The enormous palm slowly descended toward the Sumeru Ancient Temple!
Before it even truly landed, the phantoms of the ten thousand Buddhas that were still taking shape let out overwhelmed wails. They began to twist and collapse!
Countless temples and pagodas below started crumbling like sand sculptures! Great chasms split open across the earth!
“Not good!!!”
Longevity Ancient Buddha’s pupils contracted sharply. Beneath that colossal palm, he sensed an unprecedented threat of death!
The feeling was even more terrifying than when he had once faced a Supreme Being from a forbidden zone!
Longevity Ancient Buddha said decisively, “Junior brothers, this fiend is too fierce. We must immediately unleash our ultimate foundation and kill him with thunderous force! Form the Five-Directional Buddha Demon-Exterminating Formation! Summon the imperial weapon!”
“Agreed!”
“That is precisely what we should do!”
The five Ancient Buddhas reached a consensus in an instant and held nothing back.
“Boom—!!!”
Five vast and boundless auras belonging to quasi-Emperors erupted completely, linking with heaven and earth!
Centered around the Sumeru Ancient Temple, a gigantic Buddhist seal covering the heavens and earth suddenly appeared. Its golden radiance was dazzling, illuminating the celestial realms!
It was the Buddhist sect’s strongest battle formation—the Demon-Exterminating Formation!
Longevity, Wisdom, Vajra Demon-Subduing, and the other two Ancient Buddhas each took one of the five positions. They resembled five primordial Buddhas awakening from antiquity, their countenances solemn and majestic as they chanted ancient sutras.
The immense power of faith accumulated throughout the Western Regions over countless ages surged wildly into the formation like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, empowering the five Buddhas!
Their auras rose steadily, instantly breaking through their own limits and reaching an unimaginable level!
Buddhist light illuminated all beneath the heavens. Even the distant Eastern and Central Regions could faintly see the dazzling Buddhist sun hanging over the Western Regions!
And that was not all!
“Imperial weapon, appear!”
Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha held both hands aloft and roared.
“Clang—!!!”
A grand bell-like sound, as though capable of shattering reincarnation and opening a world, exploded from the depths of the ancient temple’s void!
A golden vajra engraved with countless demon-subduing runes appeared through the rift in space and descended into the world. At its tip was a jewel burning with eternal Buddhist flame.
The Great Sun Demon-Subduing Vajra had arrived!
A true supreme imperial weapon was now fully awakened!
“Boom!!!”
The instant the imperial weapon appeared, genuine imperial might swept across the eight wastelands and the six directions!
The void collapsed in great swathes, while the laws wailed and retreated!
Empowered by the imperial weapon, the Five-Directional Buddha Demon-Exterminating Formation grew several times stronger!
Within the formation, phantoms of billions upon billions of Buddhas appeared. They chanted sutras in unison, their sacred voices transforming into tangible golden ripples capable of converting all things and crushing every evil!
Five quasi-Emperors had formed a battle array!
A supreme imperial weapon was fully awakened!
The power of faith accumulated over countless ages was lending its strength!
This force had already surpassed the realm of quasi-Emperors and faintly touched the threshold of the Imperial Realm!
Radiant light filled the heavens, and its might shook the world. It was as though a living Emperor had truly descended into the mortal realm to subdue demons and uphold the righteous path!
Below, countless monks were so moved that tears of excitement filled their eyes. They prostrated themselves on the ground and chanted Buddhist prayers, convinced that the Buddha himself had manifested and that victory was certain.
Even the five Ancient Buddhas themselves felt an overwhelming confidence well up within their hearts under the support of this vast power, gathered from their lifelong cultivation, their sect’s foundation, and the faith of countless ages.
With such strength, even a peak-stage quasi-Emperor could be defeated head-on—or even killed!
At the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Master Tianji, who had been preparing to enter seclusion, abruptly opened his eyes. An ice mirror automatically condensed in the void before him.
Reflected within it was the unsettling darkness over the Western Regions, along with a destructive aura so terrifying that even he instinctively trembled.
“What happened in the Western Regions?”
“Who would dare attack the Buddhist sect of the Western Regions?”
At this moment, this became the common mystery weighing on the hearts of every top power in the Xuanhuang Great World.
Whether they were sacred lands, imperial dynasties, ancient clans, or the ancient existences hidden behind the scenes, all were shaken by this sudden, earth-shattering upheaval. They employed various means to cast their gazes toward that Buddhist kingdom shrouded in an aura of destruction.
The Buddhist sect of the Western Regions was a colossal force that had produced several Emperors, possessed an imperial weapon to suppress all opposition, and commanded endless faith. Even the forbidden zones had to show it some respect!
Just then, Little Black, hovering high above the Sumeru Ancient Temple, spoke in a cold voice that pierced through the void and resounded in the perceptions of countless powerful figures:
“The Buddhist sect of the Western Regions has repeatedly violated my rules and secretly plotted against young disciples. Its crimes warrant execution.”
The moment these words were spoken, the entire world seemed to fall silent.
Then came countless gasps and horrified cries!
“It’s him! The protector behind Battle Asura!”
Most sacred lands were quite fearful of the Buddhist sect of the Western Regions, fully aware of how troublesome and powerful it was.
Yet now, this mysterious figure who had once annihilated the Glazed Sacred Land was about to strike against this colossal power once more.
How overbearing!
Alongside their shock, an even stronger mixture of curiosity and fear spread through the world.
At that moment, Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha held the Great Sun Demon-Subduing Vajra, which radiated boundless light. As the eye of the formation, it gathered the strength of the five Buddhas and the faith of countless ages.
It transformed into a golden torrent that pierced through heaven and earth, carrying supreme imperial might capable of purifying and judging all things, and thundered toward Little Black!
“Demon! Face your death!”
This strike could be called the Buddhist sect’s strongest attack—a fatal blow powerful enough to be recorded in the annals of history and illuminate the ages!
Yet in the face of this ultimate attack, which had gathered the Buddhist sect’s foundation accumulated over countless ages and was powerful enough to make even a peak-stage quasi-Emperor turn pale, Little Black remained expressionless.
The colossal palm continued its slow descent without the slightest pause or change, carrying an absolute majesty that looked down upon everything as it pressed downward.
“Boom—!!!!”
A collision beyond the power of words erupted!
Under the gaze of countless onlookers peering through divine abilities and mystical treasures, the destructive torrent formed from the combined might of five quasi-Emperors, a supreme imperial weapon, and the faith of countless ages touched the black palm.
In that instant, it disintegrated inch by inch, shattered apart, and transformed into the most primordial points of light before vanishing into nothingness!
The faint sounds of laws wailing and myriad paths breaking—crack, crack—were more terrifying than any thunderclap.
“Pfft—!!!”
The five Ancient Buddhas trembled violently as though they had been struck head-on by a chaotic divine mountain. Brilliant golden Buddhist blood sprayed from their mouths in torrents!
The surging aura around them, vast as the sea and forcibly elevated to its peak by the formation and the power of faith, deflated like a punctured balloon and instantly plummeted to its lowest point!
The Demon-Exterminating Formation could not withstand even a single breath before shattering with a boom!
The phantoms of billions upon billions of Buddhas manifested within the formation let out silent cries of grief before vanishing like illusory bubbles!
The fully awakened Great Sun Demon-Subduing Vajra, its imperial might sweeping across the world, released an agonized cry filled with spiritual sorrow. The jewel at its tip, which burned with eternal Buddhist flame, instantly dimmed as though it might go out at any moment.
The pestle was struck by an irresistible force and sent flying backward like a shooting star. It crashed deep into Mount Sumeru, bringing down countless temples and halls. The might of the imperial weapon was utterly extinguished!
“No! Impossible!!”
The Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha’s eyes nearly split with rage as he let out a despairing, unwilling roar. He could not accept it—the Buddhist sect’s strongest trump card had been so utterly powerless against their opponent!
The Longevity Ancient Buddha’s face was as pale as gold paper. The flame of wisdom in his eyes had been completely snuffed out, leaving behind nothing but boundless fear and bewilderment.
The terrifying shock waves of the collision surged outward like a tide of destruction!
“No—!”
Below, in the Buddhist kingdom, the Buddhist Grand Saints and Saint-King-level elders who were maintaining the formation near its core could not even complete their screams before their bodies disintegrated and their souls were annihilated amid the ripples of obliterated laws!
Those with weaker cultivation fell in swathes. In an instant, the casualties were catastrophic, and blood flowed like a river!
The ancient Sumeru temple, which moments ago had been bathed in endless Buddhist light, filled with heaven-shaking chants, and overflowing with confidence in certain victory, had transformed in the blink of an eye into a hell on earth, strewn with the wails of the dying!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1.
