"Your Holiness, something has happened at the Golden Buddha Temple."
Hmm?
An incident?
The Sacred Buddha was currently toying with the Sacred Buddha Relic in his hand when he heard this, his expression darkening instantly.
"What did you say?"
"An incident?"
"What kind of incident?" the Sacred Buddha asked with a grim face.
"The Buddhist disciples sent to oversee the Golden Buddha project… their Longevity Lamps… have gone out."
"All of them!"
All extinguished?
The extinguishing of the Longevity Lamps meant these individuals had perished.
Hearing this, the Sacred Buddha's expression grew increasingly severe.
Who?
Who dares to provoke me?
Seeing the Sacred Buddha's current demeanor, the elderly monk trembled in fear, his heart filled with panic.
"Hmph!"
The Sacred Buddha snorted coldly, and the old monk felt as if he had been struck internally, nearly vomiting blood on the spot.
He quickly dropped to his knees, pleading in terror, "Your Holiness, spare me!"
"Spare you?"
"If anything happens to the Golden Buddha, I will hold you accountable!"
"Send people to investigate immediately."
"Whoever dares to sabotage the Golden Buddha—kill them!"
The usually dignified and benevolent Sacred Buddha now resembled a demon.
"Disaster! Disaster!"
"Your Holiness, a great calamity has befallen us!"
Another elderly monk rushed in frantically, causing the Sacred Buddha's expression to shift once more.
Another disaster?
"Your Holiness, the Longevity Lamps in the Hall of Longevity… so many have gone out, far too many!"
"Those not currently at the Heavenly Sound Temple… they must be…"
So many extinguished?
"Damn it!"
"What are you all waiting for?"
"Send people to investigate at once."
"Now!" the Sacred Buddha roared.
"Yes, yes, we will dispatch men immediately—"
"No need!"
"They're here!"
The Sacred Buddha's face darkened as he sensed two unfamiliar auras approaching the vicinity of the Heavenly Sound Temple.
"Pass down my order—enemies approach."
"All monks of the Heavenly Sound Temple, assemble! Let me see who has the audacity to cause trouble in my domain," the Sacred Buddha said coldly.
"Yes!"
At this moment, Chen Chang'an and Da Huang had arrived near the Heavenly Sound Temple.
Gazing at the majestic temple in the distance, an uninformed observer might mistake it for a sacred Buddhist sanctuary.
Outwardly resplendent, yet inside, it had long rotted to the core.
"Da Huang, go rescue the surviving infants."
"I'll handle the monks of the Heavenly Sound Temple alone."
Hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Da Huang nodded before vanishing in a flash.
Chen Chang'an smirked, and in the next instant, he appeared within the temple grounds.
When the Sacred Buddha laid eyes on Chen Chang'an, his brow furrowed.
First-level Supreme Realm?
A mere First-level Supreme dares to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Sound Temple?
Sheer recklessness.
"Was it you who slaughtered our monks?"
"Those who follow the Buddhist path are merciful. How could you be so ruthless?"
"A wicked fiend like you is beyond redemption."
"Seize this villain!" the Sacred Buddha commanded coldly.
"As you command, Your Holiness!"
At his order, the monks surged toward Chen Chang'an.
Unfazed by their assault, Chen Chang'an's attention was fixed on the Sacred Buddha's hand—specifically, the fetal pearl he held.
That’s definitely my fetal pearl!
"Scram!"
With a flick of his hand, Chen Chang'an unleashed several sword energies that instantly slaughtered the attacking monks.
The sight left the Sacred Buddha and the others stunned.
This man… his strength is terrifying!
He’s no ordinary First-level Supreme.
"Who are you?" the Sacred Buddha demanded, his voice tense.
"I came only to reclaim what is mine."
"But after arriving in these Western Lands, I realized—you people are truly despicable."
"Under the guise of Buddhism, you act like demons."
"Even true demons might not be as vile as you."
"Outrageous!"
"You dare insult Buddhism and slander the Sacred Buddha?"
"Insult?"
"It is you who disgrace Buddhism!"
The Sacred Buddha glared icily at Chen Chang'an and sneered, "Bold words, boy. But you’ve come to the wrong place."
"Do you think a bit of strength grants you the right to act with impunity?"
"The Western Lands belong to the Buddhist Order."
"Reaching the Heavenly Sound Temple proves your skill."
"But today, you won’t leave here alive."
"You two—kill him."
The Sacred Buddha gestured to his two right-hand men, both Emperor-level powerers.
The two monks nodded, their eyes cold as they flanked Chen Chang'an.
Emperors?
You think Emperors can kill me?
Pathetic.
"These two clowns? You send them to embarrass themselves?"
Chen Chang'an flicked his fingers, and two pebbles levitated from the ground. With another motion, they shot toward the monks.
The onlookers scoffed—what harm could mere pebbles do?
Bang!
Bang!
What followed left everyone, including the Sacred Buddha, aghast.
The pebbles pierced the monks' bodies and, upon entry, triggered violent energy explosions that obliterated them.
The self-detonation of two Emperor-level experts unleashed catastrophic force, reducing half the Heavenly Sound Temple to rubble.
Countless monks perished in the blast. Had the Sacred Buddha not intervened, the entire temple would have been annihilated, along with its weaker disciples.
Chen Chang'an, however, stood unscathed—not even a speck of dust marred his robes.
Now, the Sacred Buddha felt genuine fear.
How is he this powerful?
Two pebbles annihilated Emperor-level experts?
How?
How is this possible?
"Curious?"
"Want to know why?"
The Sacred Buddha was stunned—Chen Chang'an had read his thoughts.
This man is monstrous!
"How… did you do it?"
Chen Chang'an grinned. "Return the pearl, and I’ll tell you."
Pearl?
What pearl?
The Sacred Buddha paused before realizing—he was after the Sacred Buddha Relic in his hand!
"Dream on. This relic is a treasure of the Buddhist Order. I will never surrender it."
Buddhist treasure?
"You shameless fool."
"That thing is mine. It was merely picked up by one of your monks."
"And you had the gall to call it a Sacred Buddha Relic?"
"If it’s a relic, then who am I?"
"I must be the Sacred Buddha himself!" Chen Chang'an sneered.
His?
The Sacred Buddha Relic… belongs to him?
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. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
