Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 493 - 128 Eight Heavenly Dragon Bell
"You do not need to know!"
Emperor Fusheng flicked his sleeve and disappeared into midair.
The Demon Lord, as the ruler of the Ten Directions Demon Realm, could not even detect how he left or traversed the space.
"The gap is too vast..."
He sighed inwardly.
Though both their cultivation levels had reached the Heavenly Destiny Realm, First-Level Destiny and Second-Level Destiny were still incomparable.
It’s like both being billionaires: a newly-minted billionaire businessman and the richest person in the world, there’s still an unbridgeable chasm.
Whoosh!
The Buddha didn’t expect to come with high hopes, only for the opponent to escape smoothly. Despite his anger, there was nothing he could do. With a fierce flick of his robe, the burning Ancient Bodhi Tree was seized back into his hand and stored into the Palm Buddha Country.
At this moment, the ancient tree, scorched by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, had half of it turned into charcoal, and not a single piece of fruit was left. Even if it could be saved by luck, it had completely lost its former brilliance.
"Let’s go!"
The Buddha turned and flew outwards.
"Since you’re here, why not stay as a guest!"
Seeing him trying to escape, the Demon Lord wouldn’t let it pass. With a low shout, the entire sky was filled with demonic Qi in an instant.
The Ten Directions Demon Realm was his celestial treasure. Normally, the opponent wouldn’t dare to come in, so having arrived once, how could he let him leave so easily.
"Amitabha, Demon Lord, you’re courting death!"
The Buddha, the Six Great Bodhisattvas, and the remaining two Demon Emperors started battling again.
A short hour later, the majestic Lingjiu Mountain quivered as a few figures, slightly disheveled, appeared on the central throne.
It was none other than the Buddha and others escaping from the Ten Directions Demon Realm.
At this time, of the six Bodhisattvas, only four remained, and even the Buddha had blood all over his lips. If not for him using the Buddha’s Wrath Vajra at the last moment, transforming into the Unmoving Ming King, and slaughtering in all directions, nearly cleansing the entire Demon Realm, they might have truly been trapped inside, unable to escape.
"Zhang Xuan..."
On the lotus throne, the Buddha squinted his eyes.
After so many years of enlightenment, it was the first time he truly became angry.
The Bodhi Saith Fruit was all forged, the Ancient Bodhi Tree was nearly dead, and more importantly, four of the Eight Bodhisattvas died. The more he thought, the more upset he felt.
"Let Blue Cloud Venerable enter the Buddha Bone Tower. If he can pass, he can charge into the Bodhisattva Realm; if not, become Buddha Bone Relics!"
With a lift of his eyelids, the Buddha commanded.
"Yes!"
A monk turned and left.
The Buddha Bone Tower was a place where high monks nearing nirvana would go, equivalent to a special Heaven Mandate Domain. Venerables unable to achieve fruition would enter there to try and impact the Bodhisattva Realm.
If fortunate, they could receive the inheritance and possibly break through. If not, they would become nutrients for the Domain, disappearing into the annals of history.
Typically, those who entered were either near the end of their longevity or had exhausted numerous methods without success. For someone like Blue Cloud Venerable, who was still on the rise, to enter as an exception was extremely rare.
However, there was no choice. With four of the Eight Bodhisattvas killed, failing to replenish quickly would significantly reduce the overall strength of the Buddhist Sect.
"Buddha, should we send someone to the Law Heavenly Capital?"
At this moment, a Bodhisattva asked.
Understanding his meaning, the Buddha rubbed his fingers, his voice indifferent: "Of course, we should go, but the Law Heavenly Capital is the private domain of the Tianli Royalty, with cultivation restrictions. I can’t go personally. The Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle and the Great Wish Bright King Bodhisattva, you two represent me. If that Zhang Xuan appears, make sure to slay him!"
"Yes!" Two Bodhisattvas stood up, eyes firm.
The Buddha pointed, and two celestial treasures floated out, descending in the middle of the hall, dazzling as a second sun.
The first item was a massive bell, forged with the bones of eight heavenly dragons, carved with the Eight True Words. Once summoned, the shadows of the Eight Heavenly Dragons would appear, each possessing the combat power of the Peak of Life Sea Realm 9-dan.
The Buddhist Supreme Treasure, Eight Heavenly Dragon Bell!
The second was a piece of Bodhi leaf, refined from dozens of Bodhi Fruits and hundreds of Bodhi Leaves when the Buddha achieved enlightenment, the only one in the Source World. Imprinted with a "卍" character forged by True Sun Fire, once summoned, it was equivalent to a full strike from the Buddha.
The Buddhist Supreme Treasure, Great Sun Buddha Seal!
"Take these two celestial treasures with you, in case of emergency."
Pronounced the Buddha.
The Bodhisattva of Wisdom Battle and the Great Wish Bright King Bodhisattva exchanged glances, their faces full of joy, bowing and clasping their hands: "Our Buddha, merciful."
...
Ten Directions Demon Realm.
On the tall and majestic throne, the Demon Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes like an abyss, swirling endlessly, with an eerie vibe.
"These two Bodhisattva Relics, find a way to forge them quickly and restore your cultivation!"
With a flick of his fingers, two orb-like relics flew toward the Soul Evil Demon Emperor and Ghost Shadow Demon Emperor, who were now only left with their souls.
The two of them had been shattered by a chess piece, but their souls and the Heavenly Destiny they controlled remained. As long as they could forge these two relics and devour the Bodhisattva spirits within, their cultivation not only could be fully restored but might even advance further.
"Your Majesty, having suffered such a loss, are we really going to let it slide?"
The Blood Venerate Demon Emperor clasped his hands.
"Of course not... Blood Venerate, Myriad Poison, find a way into the Law Heavenly Capital. If that Zhang Xuan goes to save someone, grab him immediately and strip the Eternal Heart from him for me!"
The Demon Lord’s eyes flashed: "And that Creation Jade Butterfly, no matter what it’s used for, bring it back for me too!"
"Yes!" The Blood Venerate Demon Emperor and Myriad Poison Demon Emperor clasped their hands simultaneously.
"I don’t care what measures you use, I just want results. If you can’t bring it back, you two needn’t return to the Demon Realm!"
The Demon Lord waved his hand.
"Rest assured, Demon Lord, we will give it our all!" The Blood Venerate Demon Emperor’s eyes flashed.
...
Unlike the actions of these two major powers, at the chessboard in the royal palace’s backyard, space gently trembled as Emperor Fusheng reappeared before it.
By now, Wu Potian, the Six Sect Leader, had placed the scattered chess pieces back onto the board.
This chess piece, though a celestial treasure as well, was vastly inferior in level compared to the Ten Directions Demon Seal or the Eight Heavenly Dragon Bell. It could shatter two Bodhisattvas and two Demon Emperors only because of Emperor Fusheng’s Power Destiny.
Under power, no egg remains unbroken!
Not to mention Demon Emperors or Bodhisattvas, even the Buddha or the Demon Lord would find it hard to endure a single strike.
"It turned out to be the Creation Jade Butterfly... Who would’ve thought there is a second one in this world? If my guess is correct, the Orchid Butterfly Spirit appeared because of this, right? Without the presence of this Jade Butterfly, such precious medicinal materials could never be born in the world."
Placing the piece, Wu Potian looked over with a smile.
Even the treasured artifact that made Emperor Fusheng envious didn’t faze this preeminent figure in the Source World known for his physical body cultivation techniques and mastery of the Body’s Heavenly Destiny.
It seems he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
