Chapter 1816(Raw 1827): Buddhist Sect Expert

The gentle Buddhist light filled Xiao Chen’s limbs, bones, and internal organs. Like drifting goose feathers, it trembled slightly and swept away all the impurities in his body.

The warm Buddhist light shattered the everchanging uncontrollable Demonic Qi.

This scene exemplified the so-called countering hardness with softness.

The seemingly gentle Buddhist light actually contained a horrifying amount of energy—all the beneficence that the Mahe?vara Buddha cultivated when he was alive.

Unlimited beneficence, completely immeasurable!

Xiao Chen’s restless body and his Primal Core, which was on the verge of exploding, calmed down under the influence of the Buddhist light.

The Buddhist light was like a cool breeze containing an irresistible Buddhist Might. Amid soft murmurs, it resolved all the danger.

Xiao Chen calmed down as well, knowing that the danger had passed.

Refining this ?ar?ra would be sufficient to clear this test.

However, just as he prepared to refine the gently shining ?ar?ra, it dissolved on its own.

The Buddhist light containing boundless beneficence spread out continuously, penetrating every part of Xiao Chen’s skin, muscles, bones, blood, and flesh.

Finally, the essence of the ?ar?ra dripped into the 9-Star Primal Core.

The ?ar?ra used its supreme beneficence to transform Xiao Chen’s Primal Core, reinforcing it and forming a firm and unbreakable barrier.

The danger was immediately resolved.

Xiao Chen did not understand why the ?ar?ra dissolved on its own. Perhaps, the Mahe?vara Buddha still had a strand of lingering thought in it, and because of his merciful heart, he chose to lay himself down and help Xiao Chen clear this calamity.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and did not dwell on it. Although the danger was resolved, his true challenge had only just begun.

The two vast pools of Veritable Essence Energy in his Primal Core filled the entire space and continuously fought each other, clashing intensely at every moment.

If the shock waves generated from the clash spread out, they would easily kill a Minor Primal Core Venerate.

If this continued, even though Xiao Chen had two vast pools of Veritable Essence Energy, he would not be able to use either of them at all.

However, he had expected this.

This current situation was what Xiao Chen hoped to see. The Taiji Dao should be able to deal with this problem.

However, he still needed some time if he wanted to use the Taiji Dao to balance the two Veritable Essence Energies and mesh them together.

Xiao Chen was not in a rush. He had pulled through the greatest danger, so there was no need to rush now.

—

Just as Xiao Chen used the Taiji Dao to balance the two vast pools of Veritable Essence Energies, the pursuit of that Buddhist sect expert on the other side also reached its climax.

Si Shengjie and Qiao Jiangsheng, the strongest core disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Castle and Fantasy Cloud Sect, finally managed to weaken that Buddhist sect expert after paying the price of severe injury.

Si Shengjie and Qiao Jiangsheng ranked at the top among the core disciples in their respective sects. Paying such a heavy price to weaken that Buddhist sect expert showed that the Buddhist sect expert already boasted a strength rivaling that of the true inheritors of their sects.

The true inheritors of Rank 6 sects were very strong, second only to Holy Venerates.

Even a Holy Venerate would not be absolutely confident of detaining such people.

The true inheritors of such large sects would either be sect Elders in the future or the next Sect Master; they would undoubtedly be the overlords of wherever they were.

“After him! We absolutely cannot let him run.”

“Damn it! This baldy is really strong. Despite being this badly injured, he still managed to kill so many people from our two sects.”

“Oh no! He is running towards Blood Spirit Island, that forbidden land!”

“All under Holy Venerate will definitely die if they go to Blood Spirit Island. Even Holy Venerates don’t dare to casually go there.”

Figures filled the dense forest. The disciples of the Fantasy Cloud Sect and Heavenly Eagle Castle relentlessly chased a monk wielding a Buddhist monk’s knife and wearing blood-soaked monk robes.

As the monk approached Blood Spirit Island, the hundreds of Demonic Sect disciples immediately hesitated.

All the Demonic sect disciples familiar with the one hundred thousand great peaks knew that Blood Spirit Island was a forbidden land.

All under Holy Venerate would die if they headed for Blood Spirit Island.

That place teemed with Blood Spirit Flowers, something that everyone dreamed about. However, no one dared to go there, as anyone who did had all died.

Those with true capabilities, experts who could easily get to Blood Spirit Island, would not care about the Blood Spirit Flowers.

Hence, this forbidden land had long been a place that people of the three Demonic Dao sects admired and wanted to challenge.

Then...there was no “then” for those who did.

“After him!”

“I need to witness his death!”

Soon, this group of Demonic Dao sect disciples made up their minds and resumed their pursuit.

That Buddhist sect expert was known as Yan Chen. At this moment, his heart was full of regret and strong dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, he, Yan Chen, would fall in such a place, at the hands of the disciples of two Rank 6 Demonic Dao sects.

This was simply a great humiliation. With this thought, Yan Chen could not help cursing, “The people of the Demonic Dao sects are truly despicable and extremely shameless. How hateful!”

An island in the center of the lake?

After Yan Chen traveled through the forest, the vista before him suddenly widened, and he saw a vast lake.

In the center of the lake was a small island that looked ruined. It was messy and devoid of life.

This lake is very calm and vast. If I hide at the bottom of the lake and use the Buddhist sect’s Turtle Breath Feigning Death Art, perhaps I can escape this calamity!

“Lord Buddha truly preserves. It looks like heaven does not want me dead yet!”

Yan Chen rejoiced and immediately jumped into the lake without any sound or further thought.

His figure shot into the lake like a sharp arrow, not even kicking up a splash.

“ Gurgle! Gurgle!”

Yan Chen took in a deep breath of air and felt shocked. Why is the lake water so cold?

With my cultivation, how can my physical body still fear the cold?

Never mind, I should quickly execute the Turtle Breath Feigning Death Art. Who knows when the people behind will catch up?

Yan Chen closed his eyes and quietly circulated his energy. His body immediately sank in the water like a rock.

However, he could not clear his mind of all thought and enter deep sleep.

Instead, his body felt increasingly colder and trembled.

I cannot open my eyes. I cannot open my eyes. I cannot open my eyes... Yan Chen continuously reminded himself in his heart.

Once he opened his eyes, the Turtle Breath Feigning Death Art would break, and his only chance of survival would be gone.

However, it was simply too cold, so cold that Yan Chen could no longer bear it.

He opened his eyes and looked around. It would have been fine if he had not looked since his body trembled even more violently afterwards.

Thousands of fish monsters slowly approached him in the lake. Countless pairs of cold eyes stared at him with chilling killing intent.

The so-called coldness was due to these killing intents focusing on him.

Run!

Yan Chen paled from fear. Without even thinking, he used all his remaining Veritable Essence Energy and leaped out.

He shot out of the lake in an instant and landed on the island.

The small island showed no signs of life. It was riddled with craters and fissures, scars of battle.

After escaping death, Yan Chen released a long, drawn-out breath. As he looked at this strange island, he appeared rather dismal.

Could this place be where I, Yan Chen, will be buried?

How hateful! Had I known earlier, I really would not have listened to that Scholar whatshisname and come here to seek fortuitous encounters.

Yan Chen sighed softly, then saw a white-clad person seated cross-legged on a pile of rocks ahead.

“Hey! How could there be a dead person here?”

That white-clad person’s body was dust-covered. He did not seem to be breathing, nor did he show any signs of life.

If the dirt were wiped off this person’s face, he would be a rather handsome youth.

Yan Chen entered deep thought. This place looks ruined as if a huge battle took place here. It is not really strange for there to be a dead person here.

I wonder what his cultivation was when he was alive. Holding his Buddhist monk’s knife upraised, Yan Chen walked over carefreely, even entertaining the thought of something shady like searching a corpse.

“I have sinned. I have sinned. This little monk is left without a choice. I have no other choice but to do such a thing. If I can flee this place alive, I will definitely give Senior a proper purification ritual,” Yan Chen muttered softly as he walked over.

However, just as he was about two meters away, the eyes of the person he thought was dead opened.

Stunned, Yan Chen could not react right away.

All of a sudden, dust flew, and a scary aura burst out of Xiao Chen as he threw a palm strike.

Two Veritable Essence Energies, tangled around each other, surged out from Xiao Chen’s hand.

Yan Chen vomited a mouthful of blood. He was already severely injured in the first place, so he ended up crying out in agony as he flew back.

“Splash!”

A fish monster leaped out from the water, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed Yan Chen.

“A Buddhist sect expert?”

Xiao Chen withdrew his hand, confusion written on his face. At some point in time, a perfect Taiji diagram had appeared on the ground under his feet.
