Chapter 425: Chapter 414 Buddha’s Light Shines Everywhere, Ancient Sword Dragon Emperor

Whether it was Tang Buqi and Xue Canghai in the past, or the current Tang Wanju and Vermilion Bird, none of them were as shocked as the others. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Cui Wenjing and Yang Jingxiu went to examine the corpse specifically, keeping their judgments to themselves and not disclosing them publicly, but certainly had their own analyses in private, and everyone had vaguely prepared.

Both believed that this did not seem like an "enhancement".

Because if it were an enhancement, the casting process might need to be relatively close to the Secret Realm, but there was no reason to stay nearby after the casting. One could have left far away. Without severe combat, the "enhancement" would not have been consumed too quickly, and these monk soldiers could directly attack Suzhang, so why could they only guard Huiji?

Moreover, if it were an "enhancement", it would not make sense for the head to be chopped off and the body still able to twist; no such enhancement existed.

Cui Wenjing thought it was more likely a type of Gu Technique. They hadn’t found the presence of Gu Insects while examining the corpses, maybe because the bodies were brought back too late and had already dispersed, or perhaps this particular Gu Insect couldn’t survive far from the Secret Realm.

Regarding Gu Technique, no one of this era understood it. Cui Wenjing thought that everyone could regard them as corpse puppet soldiers, roughly the same, considering that the bodies occupied by Gu Insects could be considered dead anyway.

As for Corpse Transformation, everyone had explored some Secret Realms and had seen such phenomena. For example, the body hard as iron, which aligns with their observed "invulnerability to swords and spears".

Also, their own intelligence could be annihilated, and they could suffer from strong attacks of death energy, among other things.

These words could not be said publicly. Tens of thousands of "Corpse Transformations" wasn’t just a transformation but would cause mutiny on their own side; it would scare everyone off.

It was okay as long as the Main General was prepared. Tang Buqi organized the retreat without any confusion, and Xue Canghai casually tested and knew what level of cultivation could withstand; the city wall battle was still orderly.

Only those who were caught unprepared to pick peaches suffered the first wave of counterattack, causing some casualties, but not many, as it lasted a very short time.

But even with all of Cui and Yang’s guesses, they never expected an entity like Maitreya to emerge, which seemed like another person had grown inside the body, looking extremely repulsive.

Tang Wanju’s sword was drawn and stabbed again; a "ding!" sound as she successfully pierced through it showed that her cultivation still could break through the invulnerability, but the opponent no longer felt pain, and the vital points were no longer vital; the harm was meaningless.

Tang Wanju furrowed her brows.

The "flesh tumor" on the neck actually split open and could speak, even speaking with memories of Maitreya, "Tang Wanju... I will definitely capture you... to be my Luminary Concubine..."

This was nothing but residual obsession combined with the Gu Technique, creating a new soul that may or may not have cognition.

It even forgot Vermilion Bird, which had burnt its original soul, but clung to the obsession with possessing Tang Wanju for half a life.

"Tsk..." Vermilion Bird couldn’t help saying, "Really drawing in trouble."

Tang Wanju wanted to tell her that Ying Wu was still there; they could see who attracted more sophisticated admirers.

But there really wasn’t much to argue about, saying that to herself would seem like losing half the battle. Having others covet you was a sign of charm, not something disgraceful. After all, their suitor is Ying Wu; what is this thing here? Just thinking about it made her want to vomit.

She sighed, "Let’s not talk about that. Your Flame Power, can it burn the Gu within his body?"

"It could, but when he is resisting, it’s not easy to accomplish," Vermilion Bird, having tried to provoke Tang Wanju several times without response, also felt it tasteless and grew solemn, "This body is a pseudo-Heavenly List one, just in terms of Body Refining, even stronger than you and me combined. Combined with this Gu Technique, it’s very troublesome."

At this moment, she was also admiring her own man. Before this, she hadn’t expected the battle to be this troublesome. Looking at Maitreya’s repeated losses, it seemed he was cornered, and a mere breath could push him back. But Maitreya alone could hold her and Tang Wanju’s joint effort for so long... Her man had been extremely cautious since the beginning, wanting to gather all known powerhouses here.

Without every single one of them, this battle could have been very dangerous.

Her man was not just cautious; his understanding of the God Demon’s power might be deeper than anyone else’s. He knew well that none of these creatures surviving from Ancient Times were easy to deal with, even if this Bodhisattva was relatively weaker.

Everyone traced back to Ancient Times through records and Cultivation Techniques, even though they clearly knew these were immensely powerful, but without facing them directly, they inevitably lacked a tangible impression... So, had her man witnessed it himself?

The "flesh tumor" was whispering lowly, "Tang Wanju... you could never imagine that I could be immortal... Heh heh... Buddha’s power is beyond your imagination... If only you had followed me earlier, you could have been granted eternal life..."

It appeared that the soul was slightly reviving, its memories returning aside from the obsession.

Tang Wanju finally responded, "How pitiful... when you used the Extreme Joy Method to harvest from others, you didn’t realize that even the flesh and life you gained were ultimately offered to him, helping him restore and recuperate. Even the hasty rallying of troops was under his urge, for seizing more. Thousands of bones across Jiangnan are due to his malevolence and your ignorance."

The "flesh tumor" burst into a furious rage, "She has always been offering her cultivation to me! She is my Luminary Concubine! Mine! Everything under this sky is mine!"

"Boom!" Dark energy surged forth, aiming at Tang Wanju.

Tang Wanju sidestepped to dissipate the force, yet Maitreya charged past her, heading straight for the Secret Realm.

Whether it was the remnants of Maitreya’s obsession or the guidance of the Gu Technique, his fundamental goal was to return there...

Because the body of "Consort Ming" simply wasn’t suited for the intense battles on the Heavenly List, the Bodhisattva required his Maitreya-forged White Lotus Sacred Body!

"Swoosh!" Tang Wanju intercepted with her sword, but Maitreya did not dodge or evade; he barreled ahead like a cannonball.

Tang Wanju blocked him for a moment but nearly spat blood from the impact.

The Vermilion Bird appeared out of nowhere ahead of them, slightly crouching with one hand on the ground.

"Boom!" A fiery explosion covered miles of the road, turning everything in Maitreya’s path into a sea of fire.

"I wonder if your body can get across," Vermilion Bird said, his mouth also stained with blood, his eyes beginning to show a hint of madness, "If you really do, how can I face him?"

Maitreya shot upwards like a cannonball, met with a sky full of Sword Qi.

"Clang!" Tang Wanju was knocked back again, finally spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, while Maitreya was ultimately repelled back into the sea of fire.

The mountain was getting closer, and it was unclear whether Maitreya would charge through the sea of fire or be reduced to ashes by the flames.

Both sides had already exhausted their strength.

Tang Wanju’s eyes were resolute, ready to activate the Third Secret Treasure once again.

Suddenly, a burst of bloody light shone from the mountainside, and the clear sound of weapons clashing was heard. Tang Wanju turned to see Zhao Changhe battling with Fa Chi outside the Secret Realm.

...

With the battle here proving so difficult, the Bodhisattva’s fight within the Secret Realm could only be imagined.

When the Bodhisattva reached the second phase, it was a transformation even more drastic than the one from lazy San Niang to fierce Xuanwu.

Despite his naked, demon-like appearance earlier, he still looked radiant and holy, seated on the lotus platform with his hands forming Dharma Seals, exuding a strong Buddhist aroma.

But now, his body was cracked, turned black, exhibiting the typical appearance of Corpse Transformation, the Buddhist aura replaced by a sinister demonic air, only the strong life force from the lotus platform remained the same.

"Amitabha," came Yuan Cheng’s Buddhist chant nearby, "If this old monk isn’t mistaken, esteemed one has no relation to this place, instead, you must be an ancient Evil Demon imprisoned by the Buddhist Sect in the rear mountains... following the collapse of the epoch, as this Buddhist Sect declined, you were fortuitously preserved by a treasure at their lotus cultivation site, leaving your Residual Soul nurtured in the lotus platform without extinction. The Buddhist methods that Maitreya obtained here were originally orthodox, but lacking in scriptures, turned grotesquely distorted upon your explanations."

"How does it matter?" the "Bodhisattva" retorted with a vicious smile.

"It doesn’t matter much...only that if that’s the case, this old monk has studied methods of Soul Suppressing and Evil Exorcism quite extensively," the old monk brought his hands together and began chanting.

A golden light emanated from around him, not as bright or dazzling as before from the "Bodhisattva," but very soft.

However, when this soft light touched the "Bodhisattva’s" body, it sizzled, and she began to smoke, letting out a wail of agony.

This was truly "Buddha’s Light Shines Everywhere," the genuine restraint.

"Bald donkey, die!"

"Boom!" A dark demonic hand ferociously struck towards Yuan Cheng.

Out of nowhere, a Copper Coin flew in, blocking its path.

The demon hand clashed with the Copper Coin, also making a sizzling noise, as if the coin were consecrated.

Ying Wu slightly swayed, retrieving the Copper Coin and holding it in front: "Bodhisattva, those of us who’ve been tomb raiding for long are well-prepared... Frankly, this form of yours could be at a bigger disadvantage."

With these words, San Niang retracted her Snake Whip and pulled out a sword from somewhere.

The strong life force and pressure severely suppressed the ghostly corpse, leading the Bodhisattva to doubt its ghostly existence and shout, "Dragon Emperor!"

Azure Dragon, Ancient Sword Dragon Emperor.

The Rejuvenation Technique was kept with it...

San Niang blinked, her face under the mask turning merry: "If that’s your nature, then nothing could be better..."
