The Buddha's Brand, Extinguished

Almost simultaneously, above the ancient Sumeru Temple, a sudden and extraordinary change occurred!

The illusory shadows of the Buddha Patriarch's imprints condensed in those three stupa towers finally reached their peak!

Three vague yet imposing figures, exuding the might of emperors, seemed to have traversed through the eons.

Stepping on golden lotus platforms, with golden wheels behind their heads like three great suns, they dyed the western sky a pure and resplendent gold!

The true and genuine aura of great emperors was unleashed without any reservation!

"Sizzle!"

All the powerful beings in the Mysterious Yellow Great World who were peering at this place through their supernatural powers simultaneously gasped in shock, and their minds were struck by an unprecedented impact!

"Great emperors! These are truly the powers of great emperors! And there are three of them!"

The Grand Zhou Emperor in the Central Region suddenly stood up from his dragon throne, his eyes filled with horror.

"Who would have thought that the Buddhist sect had such ultimate hidden reserves? They can reproduce the imprints of three Buddha Patriarchs at the same time!"

"No wonder the Buddhist sect has dominated the Western Region for ten thousand years and remained unshaken. So they have such a trump - card!"

In the Ancestral Court of Ten Thousand Demons in the Southern Region, the Demon Lord's voice was full of fear and surprise.

"Even if the imprints of the three great emperors are not as powerful as they were in their prime, no quasi - emperor can possibly withstand them!"

At this moment, many forces that had previously feared Little Black because of his overwhelming defeat of the Buddhist sect couldn't help but feel a subtle, almost imperceptible glimmer of hope, and even a tinge of worry.

They worried whether Little Black up there could withstand this ultimate strike from the Buddhist sect's ten - thousand - year heritage.

After all, the power level of the three great emperor imprints was beyond imagination!

Ancient Buddha Huixin, who was rushing towards the ancient Sumeru Temple at full speed, also suddenly stopped in his tracks the moment the three imperial shadows manifested. His withered face showed an extremely complex expression, a mix of shock and a touch of understanding.

Meanwhile, throughout the entire Western Region, hundreds of millions of Buddhist believers, regardless of where they were or what they were doing, all felt something in their hearts and looked up in the direction of the Holy Sumeru Mountain.

They saw those three towering figures, seemingly condensed from pure Buddhist light, sacred, solemn, and exuding both compassion and majesty.

"It's the Buddha Patriarch! The Buddha Patriarch has appeared!"

"The Buddha Patriarch has come to save us!"

In an instant, an even more powerful and fanatical wave of faith power, like a bursting star - river, gushed out.

It surged from every inch of the Western Region's land and the pious bodies of every believer, crossing the void and pouring madly into the three illusory shadows of the Buddha Patriarch's imprints!

With the blessing of this vast amount of pure faith, the three originally somewhat blurry illusory shadows became solid at a visible speed.

The patterns on their cassocks became clear, and although their faces were still shrouded in a hazy Buddhist light, they seemed to have a real life - like aura.

The middle figure opened his eyes, looked at Little Black, and said,

"The evildoer must be punished."

Just these four words made the souls of countless onlookers tremble. Those with weaker cultivation levels even slumped to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood!

This was the power of the great emperor's words!

Facing these three Buddha Patriarch imprints, blessed with the faith of hundreds of millions and seemingly having a glimmer of revived will, and the resounding "punish" mantra that echoed through the heavens, Little Black finally showed a reaction.

He slowly raised his head, and his pitch - black eyes, as deep as an abyss, finally met the gaze of the middle Buddha Patriarch imprint.

There was still no trace of emotion in his eyes.

It was as if these three great emperor imprints that could make the heavens tremble were no different from the previous Buddhist formation, imperial weapons, and quasi - emperors.

His giant palm that blotted out the sky didn't even pause or tremble for a moment.

Still carrying the will to crush all paths and end everything, it firmly continued to press down towards the center of the Buddhist kingdom, where the three great emperors stood side by side, shining with golden light!

"Stubborn fool!"

The Buddha Patriarch imprint on the left let out an angry shout and took the lead to attack. With a finger - gesture like plucking a flower, it transformed into a glazed Buddhist light that could pierce through the myriad worlds and pointed at the giant palm!

"The Dharma of Buddhism is boundless!"

The Buddha Patriarch imprint on the right formed the Demon - Subduing Seal, evolving a Buddhist kingdom within the palm, carrying the power to suppress and refine, and rushed forward to meet the attack!

The oldest Buddha Patriarch imprint in the middle clasped his hands together and recited an ancient mantra. A primordial Buddhist seal, containing boundless wisdom and capable of converting all demons in the heavens, arrived first despite being launched later and stamped towards the core of the giant palm!

The three great emperors attacked together, aiming at one palm!

This was an earth - shattering collision that would be recorded in ancient history and make the long river of time change its course!

"Boom!!!"

The collision occurred!

No sound could describe the deafening noise at that moment because the laws of sound were completely torn and annihilated at the center of the collision!

What all the onlookers saw was a silent but even more soul - stirring scene -

The giant palm clashed head - on with the three golden torrents that were shining to the extreme, representing the supreme glory of the Buddhist sect!

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely at that moment and then compressed instantaneously.

The sky in the Western Region was like a broken glass mirror, covered with cracks where black and gold intertwined, stretching all the way to the end of the line of sight!

The earth sank silently, the void collapsed with a mournful wail, and the entire Western Region seemed to groan under the unbearable pressure of this strike, on the verge of total upheaval!

"They've blocked it! The Buddha Patriarch imprints have blocked it!"

An ancient onlooker couldn't help but let out a low cry, his voice filled with excited disbelief.

It seemed that the palm of the Black - Robed Man had really been resisted by the combined efforts of the three Buddha Patriarch imprints!

However, just as this thought emerged, the destructive airflow on the pitch - black giant palm suddenly became a million times more violent!

"Click... click - click..."

Faint but spine - chilling cracking sounds came from the center of the collision.

Under the gazes of countless horrified onlookers, the three attacks launched by the Buddha Patriarch imprints, blessed with the faith of hundreds of millions and representing the highest supernatural powers of the Buddhist sect, began to show signs of failure.

The glazed Buddhist light that could pierce through the worlds on the left first dimmed and then shattered!

The Buddhist kingdom within the palm on the right vibrated violently and then vanished like a bubble!

Even the most core and powerful "swastika" primordial Buddhist seal in the middle showed fine cracks on its surface, and they spread at an astonishing speed!

"No... it's impossible..."

An old Buddhist master, seeing this scene through a water mirror, murmured in disbelief, and his faith began to crumble.

"Break!"

Little Black softly uttered a single word.

"Boom!!!"

The Buddhist seal completely exploded, turning into a shower of golden light!

The three illusory shadows of the Buddha Patriarch imprints, which had been blessed with faith and seemed to have a glimmer of revived will, all trembled violently.

The light that had just become a bit more solid on their bodies quickly dimmed and became illusory again.

Then, under the irresistible crushing force of the giant palm of extinction, the three towering imperial shadows began to crumble and dissipate inch by inch from the edges, like sand sculptures being eroded by the wind. They turned back into the most primitive Buddhist light and Dao principles and were finally completely devoured and annihilated by the giant palm.

The Buddha Patriarch imprints were destroyed!

"Pfft!!!"

Below, the five ancient Buddhas, who were already at the end of their lives, and all the high - ranking Buddhist officials connected to the formation and the imprints all spat out their last mouthful of primordial essence blood. The light in their eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only endless despair and stillness.

Their last and strongest hope was shattered.

The prayers of hundreds of millions of believers suddenly stopped, replaced by boundless stillness and confusion.

The Buddha Patriarch had been defeated!

Here's an extra chapter!
