Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 07 Chapter 160: Decisive Battle at the Corpse Mound World

The instant the passageways between the layers of hell opened, Kong Xuan rushed in.

The second layer of hell was back to how it was before, but there was still no trace of Gu Hai.

Kong Xuan felt anxious, but then he heard a sound.

Whoosh!

A beam of light rushed over.

“Your Reverence?” Kong Xuan showed joy on his face.

Gu Hai waved. “Kong Xuan, don’t resist!”

Whoosh!

Gu Hai instantly pulled Kong Xuan into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Then Gu Hai and Vairocana rushed into the first layer of hell.

“Halt!” The three Gautama Heavenly Demons behind gave relentless chase.

When Gu Hai stepped into the first layer of hell, the Divine Demon Army soldiers saw him and immediately swarmed over. “Your Reverence, you finally came out!”

“Move away! Move away!” Gu Hai shouted anxiously.

Gu Hai quickly collected all the nearby Divine Demon Army soldiers into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Those in the distance felt confused, but they stopped moving towards Gu Hai and scattered in all directions.

Gu Hai flew towards the distant exit of the eighteen layers of hell.

Whoosh!

The three Gautama Heavenly Demons pursued him with ferocious expressions, immensely enraged but with nowhere to vent.

“Those are Gu Hai’s Divine Demon Army soldiers? I’m going to kill them!” Jiang Gautama said ferociously.

“They are too far. Don’t delay. Kill Gu Hai first!” Heavenly Gautama stopped Jiang Gautama.

“They got off easy. They are lucky they are far away. Humph!” Mortal Gautama said hatefully.

Whoosh!

The three quickly gave chase. Soon, they arrived at the exit of the eighteen layers of hell.

The Unborn Man was waiting on the other side.

“Unborn Man, quickly, open a passageway to the nether realm!” Gu Hai shouted upon coming out.

The Unborn Man acknowledged the command and waved his hand, opening a passageway to the nether realm.

The instant the Unborn Man opened the passageway, surging negative energy poured out.

“Unborn Man, hide in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament first!”

Gu Hai waved and pulled the Unborn Man and the surrounding Divine Demon Army soldiers into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

Then Gu Hai and Vairocana stepped into the nether realm.

After that, Heavenly Gautama, Mortal Gautama, and Jiang Gautama stepped out of the eighteen layers of hell.

“Trying to hide in the nether realm? Dream on!” Jiang Gautama snarled as he stepped into the passageway to the nether realm.

“Wait!” Heavenly Gautama wanted to stop Jiang Gautama, but it was too late. Not just Jiang Gautama stepped in, but Mortal Gautama did too.

“Never mind,” Heavenly Gautama sighed softly and also stepped in.

Whoosh!

The passageway between the land of the living and the nether realm vanished.

The instant the three entered the nether realm, their expressions changed. It was one thing for there to be negative energy, but there were also many stars? The surrounding environment seemed somewhat twisted.

“Where is this?” Jiang Gautama’s expression turned stiff.

“This is the Corpse Mound World! The Go Dao laws exist here. We fell into a trap!” Heavenly Gautama’s face sank.

“A trap?” Jiang Gautama and Mortal Gautama’s expressions changed.

The two knew how incredible Gu Hai’s Go Dao was. Since this place had the Go Dao laws, he would be very powerful here.

“Haha! Heavenly Gautama is wise. Unfortunately, it is already too late!” A voice seemed to come from above.

The three suddenly looked up and saw Gu Hai and Vairocana standing above and looking down at them coldly.

“Gu Hai, you thief! Return my Buddhist Energy sea!” Jiang Gautama’s expression turned cold. He wanted to charge over.

However, Gu Hai gently flung his sleeves out.

Whoosh!

Countless meteors brushed by Jiang Gautama, and he vanished into the vast outer space.

“A Go Dao ritual array?” Mortal Gautama’s expression turned unsightly.

Although Mortal Gautama had heard about Gu Hai’s incredible Go skills from Jiang Gautama, his first sight of it still shocked him greatly. In a world with the Go Dao laws, Gu Hai was like a god, able to fling Jiang Gautama into the depths of outer space with a handwave.

“The Corpse Mound World? Go Dao laws? Humph! Gu Hai, a Go Dao ritual array is not omnipotent!” Heavenly Gautama said coldly.

“I know it is not omnipotent, but it is sufficient to deal with you!” Gu Hai sneered.

After speaking, Gu Hai waved his hand.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Ten thousand Disintegration Beams suddenly appeared in the surroundings. Eight hundred thousand years in the past, Gu Hai had used the Go Dao laws to manifest the Disintegration Beams and destroyed three of the Seven Immortal Executioner Swords. He even used it to fight the Six Paths Veritable Lord.

Now, the Disintegration Beam made its comeback, making Mortal Gautama’s hair stand on end.

“Go!” Gu Hai shouted.

Boom!

The ten thousand Disintegration Beams fired like ten thousand arrows at Heavenly Gautama and Mortal Gautama.

Mortal Gautama became flustered. With a ferocious expression, he rushed towards Gu Hai and Vairocana.

“You can die first!” Mortal Gautama threw a palm strike.

Gu Hai seemed near, but this short distance was actually very far away in the Go Dao ritual array. When Mortal Gautama threw a palm strike, the attack strangely deviated in another direction.

“What?” Mortal Gautama exclaimed.

I can’t even touch Gu Hai in the Go Dao ritual array?

Now, the ten thousand Disintegration Beams approached the two, about to destroy them.

Heavenly Gautama’s eyes turned cold, and the slit on his forehead suddenly parted.

Crack!

A red light suddenly shot down from overhead, scattering all the Disintegration Beams and wiping them out.

Churning crimson clouds immediately covered the Corpse Mound World. A pressure reminiscent of heavenly might rushed out, shaking Gu Hai’s ritual array. Layers of spatial ripples appeared around Gu Hai and Vairocana.

The earlier red light had come from the crimson clouds.

“This is?” Gu Hai’s face sank.

“Mister Gu, you have to be careful. That is the Heaven-defying treasure. It can suppress laws. Although my Sah? World is the result of my will, it still possesses extraordinary might. However, it could not last even one strike from this Heaven-defying treasure!” Vairocana said with an unsightly expression.

“Gu Hai, your Go Dao ritual array is indeed incredible, but it is not invincible. What if your ritual array gets suppressed?” Heavenly Gautama sneered.

Gu Hai’s face sank as he controlled the Go Dao ritual array to fling the two into the depths of the ritual array.

“It is too late. Open!” Heavenly Gautama smiled maliciously.

A crack in the crimson clouds parted, and the crimson heavenly eye opened. The moment it opened, it sent down a red light a hundred times more powerful than the earlier one. It looked like a heavenly saber chopping down on the ground, easily shattering the entire Go Dao ritual array.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The large Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array shattered, and the red light pierced into the ground. The Corpse Mound World shuddered.

Now, Jiang Gautama, who was trapped and struggling in the ritual array, could clearly see his surroundings.

“Hah! Hahaha! The ritual array is gone?” Jiang Gautama guffawed.

Whoosh!

Jiang Gautama instantly arrived by Heavenly Gautama.

“Now that the crimson heavenly eye is opened, Gu Hai, you have nowhere to run!” Jiang Gautama guffawed maniacally.

Gu Hai’s and Vairocana’s faces sank as they looked up at the crimson heavenly eye, sensing it locking on them.

“The situation is now the same as before. Gu Hai, can the two of you still block us?” Jiang Gautama said coldly.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes, and Vairocana readied to face a powerful enemy.

Suddenly, a voice rang out at this moment. “Amit?bha! Father and Vairocana are not alone. I am here too!”

The shout came from below. Then everyone turned their head to look.

They saw a nearby eternal Buddhist pagoda fly open.

Bang!

A bright, golden light burst out of the opened doors, casting a golden sheen on the entire Corpse Mound World.

“Han`er?” Gu Hai appeared slightly worried.

Thud!

Gu Han stepped out of the eternal Buddhist pagoda, with a golden halo behind his head like a blazing sun.

“Good Gautama?” Jiang Gautama’s expression changed.

Qin Zibai and Bodhisattva Lian Sheng stood behind Gu Han, both also sporting a halo behind their heads. However, their halos were smaller than Gu Han’s.

“Crown Prince Gu Han, congratulations on your cultivation coming to fruition, attaining the Great Immeasurable Beneficence Buddha Body!”

“Amit?bha! This senior must be the Vairocana Father previously mentioned? This junior has barely advanced and made a joke of himself before Senior!” Gu Han bowed politely with his palms held together.

“Amit?yus!” Vairocana bowed slightly.

“Gu Han? To think you cultivated a beneficence golden body and returned to the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? How did you do it?” Disbelief filled Jiang Gautama’s face.

“I purified all the resentful spirits in the Corpse Mound World. Naturally, the world blessed me with beneficence!” Gu Han said unhurriedly.

“That’s impossible! Only how long has passed? Look at how many resentful spirits are there!” Jiang Gautama said skeptically.

“Master Dried Lamp Buddha transformed into the eternal Buddhist pagoda. One day outside the eternal Buddhist pagoda is ten thousand years inside. This humble one is untalented, only managing to come out today!” Gu Han said indifferently.

After speaking, Gu Han flew over to Gu Hai with Qin Zibai and Bodhisattva Lian Sheng.

“Father, this child has a deep connection with Jiang Gautama. Would you please leave Jiang Gautama to this child?” Gu Han asked solemnly.

“Good and evil will eventually fight. I’ll leave Jiang Gautama to the three of you,” Gu Hai replied gravely.

“Yes!” Gu Han, Qin Zibai, and Bodhisattva Lian Sheng answered.

“Vairocana, Mortal Gautama knows the Buddhist Nation in Hand and desires to establish the Sah? World. I believe he—rather than Jiang Gautama—corresponds to you. How about I leave him to you?” Gu Hai asked.

“That would be for the best. However, there’s still Heavenly Gautama,” Vairocana replied worriedly.

“Just leave Heavenly Gautama to me. You can focus on dealing with Mortal Gautama,” Gu Hai instructed.

“Alright!” Vairocana answered.

“Hah! Gu Hai? How bold of you! You actually want to fight me alone?” Heavenly Gautama showed a faint, supercilious smile.

Heavenly Gautama had a Heaven-defying treasure, the crimson heavenly eye. He was the strongest among the Gautama Heavenly Demons, and Gu Hai was the weakest among the opponents, in his opinion. This was especially so after he broke Gu Hai’s Go Dao ritual array. What did Gu Hai have left to fight him with?

“Gautama Heavenly Demon? Don’t snatch this from me. Let me kill Gu Hai!” A voice rang out in the sky, sounding like it came through gritted teeth.

Everyone looked into the sky and saw a person with a hateful expression standing in the sky.

“The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon?” Bodhisattva Lian Sheng’s expression changed.

The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon had previously been trapped in the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array. Now that the ritual array had broken, he naturally was freed. Having regained his freedom, he wanted to chop Gu Hai into thousands of pieces to vent his overwhelming hatred.

Gu Hai had to fight two consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators alone? Everyone appeared worried.
