Chapter 228: The Black Buddha, Immortal Ascension Path! Seven Supreme Beings Die in the Battle for I
Chapter 228: The Black Buddha, Immortal Ascension Path! Seven Supreme Beings Die in the Battle for Immortality! (Part 2)
"
Seeing Barrett Patriarch not retreating but instead advancing towards the path of immortality, and then turning to attack them, Kungjian was overjoyed.
"This is amazing! He's even coming back to kill us?"
"Then let him die!"
The Hinayana Buddhism Patriarch roared.
In truth, they were all afraid.
Afraid that Barrett Patriarch would suddenly 'change his mind', rush into the Immortal Ascension Path, and then enter the immortal realm!
After all, Barrett Patriarch's strength was too terrifying, and such an opponent, a mortal enemy, if he entered the Upper Plane before them, who wouldn't be afraid?
But at this moment, Barrett Patriarch was actually giving up the chance to enter the immortal realm, and instead attacking them...
Wasn't this seeking his own death?
This... they must fulfill his wish!
They forcefully advanced, fighting to the death once more!
Lin Fan watched this scene, his scalp tingling and his head buzzing with questions.
He couldn't understand!
"An unexpected Immortal Ascension Path, yet no one is willing to step onto it, unwilling to become an immortal?"
"What???"
He couldn't make sense of it.
The Immortal Martial Continent wasn't in an End of Law Era, nor was it a time like the Heaven-Shielding Sun when the immortal paths were cut off and needed to be reconnected.
In the Immortal Martial Continent, becoming an immortal wasn't 'rare'.
Although not commonly seen, it was by no means an impossible feat.
Therefore, the appearance of the Immortal Ascension Path wasn't too strange.
After all, Barrett Patriarch had said that he was going to leave.
This 'leaving' couldn't mean he was going to die, right? So, it must refer to 'ascension'! That's why Lin Fan didn't find it strange that Barrett Patriarch could trigger the Immortal Ascension Path.
But at this moment, with the appearance of the Immortal Ascension Path, Barrett Patriarch showed no intention of stepping onto it, instead fighting even more fiercely...
This determination was clear at a glance, and Barrett Patriarch had no intention of becoming an immortal!
Then, why had he triggered the Immortal Ascension Path?
"No, that's not right!"
"Looking at Barrett Patriarch's expression, this Immortal Ascension Path wasn't triggered by him?!"
"!"
"Wait!"
"I seem to have heard that if someone's strength is too powerful, or if they display battle prowess that defies the heavens during a great war, even approaching the 'limit' of the Immortal Martial Continent, the continent will 'exile' them."
"This exile isn't about throwing them out, but... an Immortal Ascension Path automatically appears, guiding them to the Upper Plane?"
"Could it be?!"
Lin Fan was shocked. "The power generated by Barrett Patriarch's battle has already reached the limit of the Immortal Martial Continent?"
"Hiss!!!"
"The Sacred Land Apex, is their strength truly this formidable?"
"But..."
"Brother."
"You really are..."
Lin Fan sighed helplessly.
He could understand Barrett Patriarch's thoughts and persistence, but... alas!
Up to this point in the battle, Barrett Patriarch had already given his all.
Truly formidable!
Fighting ten opponents, all of them Supreme Beings from the Western Region, he had slain six of them and could still continue fighting...
But in the end, he was just one person, his strength waning, his divine soul nearly exhausted.
"His life force is about to be extinguished."
"Give it one last push!"
Kungjian roared, and the purple-golden bowl blossomed with infinite Buddha energy, but at this moment, the Buddha light was as 'pitch-black' as ink!
If not for the pitch-black Swastika seal within, Lin Fan would have found it hard to associate it with the Buddha.
"At least..."
"At least, one more must die!"
Barrett Patriarch's divine soul had already been completely consumed, and his consciousness was about to fade.
But at this moment, there was still an unwavering willpower supporting him, allowing him to persist.
Boom!
Another terrifying clash.
The Hinayana Buddhism Patriarch was blasted to pieces, dissipating into the void.
Even the Vajra Demonic Exorcism Staff shattered, breaking into countless fragments that flew in all directions.
But Barrett Patriarch was left with only a final wisp of remnant soul, too weak to continue fighting.
"Sigh."
Barrett Patriarch sighed softly.
His divine soul no longer burned.
Because at this moment, he had no more soul power to burn.
Only a faint remnant soul remained, and it couldn't be any fainter.
Even though he could sense that Kungjian and the others were using various secret techniques to completely destroy him, he was powerless to resist.
"In the end, I still couldn't succeed."
"However, fighting to the death against seven Supreme Beings, plus the Human Buddha I killed earlier, and the chaos caused by San Dian and the others, at least... at least, it might bring a glimmer of hope to the Buddhist Sect?"
"This life is enough."
He didn't think further, his remnant soul laughed on its own, awaiting the end.
Lin Fan stared intently at this scene, but at this moment, he was also powerless.
"Die!"
Kungjian struck with hatred.
His hatred was about to pierce through the heavens!
All because of Barrett Patriarch!
Because of just one person, the Buddhist Sect's Supreme Beings had suffered heavy losses, and the entire sect's strength had been greatly reduced. The strength of the Western Region would... directly drop to the last place among the eight regions!
Moreover, the Minor Western Heaven was completely shattered, its treasury plundered...
And San Dian, Jiase, and Many Fish, those three bastards, were still at large, causing more trouble...
This was the last straw!
His eyes turned pitch-black, filled with hatred. He used the most ruthless methods, even though Barrett Patriarch was now just a faint 'spark', he still gave it his all, ensuring there was no chance of survival.
But...
Suddenly,
Buddha light shone upon the world!
Dispelling the endless darkness!
And from the end of the Immortal Ascension Path, immortal music echoed.
As a golden lotus blossomed in the shattered void, one of them enveloped Barrett Patriarch and the 'Gatlin' by his side.
Brilliant Buddha light radiated from this golden lotus.
Boom!
"Who dares to be so bold?!"
Kungjian was furious. His attack... had actually been blocked!
However, before he could understand what was happening, he witnessed a ray of Buddha light descending from the end of the Immortal Ascension Path, like a binding vine, instantly wrapping around the golden lotus that held Barrett Patriarch, and then dragging him into the Immortal Ascension Path with incredible speed.
Boom!!!
Immortal light spread and proliferated, and celestial music descended from above.
Countless auspicious phenomena appeared simultaneously, continuously blooming.
This was the phenomenon of immortal ascension!
Someone was ascending, and heaven bestowed its blessings!
"What?!"
Kungjian was terrified, his hands and feet turning cold.
The other two Supreme Beings from Minor Western Heaven also felt their scalps tingling, filled with unease.
"He can still ascend?!"
"That just now... was an Upper Plane Buddha expending a huge cost to forcefully guide him into the Upper Plane?!"
"How could this be?!"
Kungjian roared softly, "Barrett has no discipline, he's insane, how can he receive the protection of an Upper Plane Buddha?!"
"Moreover, even when the Upper Plane Buddhist Sect is in decline and completely suppressed, they're still willing to pay a high price to guide him? And it's just a remnant soul!"
"How could this be?!"
They roared in disbelief.
Terrified!
Afraid!
And also, a deep sense of jealousy.
At this moment, the Immortal Ascension Path disappeared, along with the auspicious phenomena, and Barrett Patriarch completely left the lower realm...
"Hey."
Lin Fan exhaled, "Big bro."
"You fought with your life, and those in the Upper Realm saw it."
"We'll meet again one day."
He turned and left without lingering.
Lin Fan wasn't overly doubtful about his own ability to ascend.
As long as his luck wasn't too bad, logically... he shouldn't be stuck in the Immortal Martial Continent.
After all, Huang Tian Di had already become his disciple, and in the future, there would be more to come. As for Barrett Patriarch, although only a tiny remnant soul remained, the Buddha light from the end of the Immortal Ascension Path was enough to show that an Upper Plane Buddha had taken notice of him and was willing to pay a high price to guide him to the Upper Realm.
Since they were willing to pay such a high price to guide him, they wouldn't just bring him up there to die, right?
There must be a way to save him!
"Since it's like this, I don't need to worry too much, but..."
"I wonder how San Dian, Jiase, and Many Fish are doing now?"
He once again used the Eightfold Mirror Technique to observe San Dian and the others.
He discovered that after San Dian had caused trouble everywhere, he was fighting and retreating.
He was holding back many eighth and ninth-stage monks.
However, these ninth-stage monks were significantly weaker, and since San Dian wasn't engaging them directly, there wasn't much danger.
But this was only temporary!
Kungjian and his group had already freed their hands.
If they didn't leave quickly, there might be big trouble.
He continued to 'spy' on Jiase and Many Fish, finding that their situations weren't much different from San Dian's.
They were causing trouble everywhere, holding back many people, and trying to find ways to delay further.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately took out the Sound Transmission Talisman to contact them.
"Seniors, Barrett Patriarch fought to the death with seven Supreme Beings, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, which was guided by an Upper Plane Buddha and has ascended to the Upper Realm."
"Kungjian and his group will soon be free to act, but fortunately, they've suffered heavy losses, and many Ninth-Stage Great Beings from the other seven regions and the Central State have also arrived, so in the short term, they shouldn't dare to act too rashly.
"Therefore, this is your chance, please, seniors, escape from the Western Region and find a safe place to hide, or else... it might be dangerous."
After receiving Lin Fan's message, the three seniors were all shocked.
"Barrett Patriarch has ascended?"
"Although it's just a remnant soul, it's still better than dying and disappearing from the path."
"Fighting to the death with seven Supreme Beings? Good, good, hahaha!"
"Since this is the case, we can't blindly grieve. Let's quickly retreat!"
San Dian was overjoyed.
Jiase was also delighted, "Fighting to the death with seven Supreme Beings, the Minor Western Heaven has been thoroughly destroyed, and in a short time, they won't be able to rebuild."
"If we can survive, perhaps we'll truly see the day when Buddhism is changed!"
"But..."
"Kungjian is still alive, and the foundation of Mahayana Buddhism remains, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven for us to survive."
"Speaking of a safe place, it's easy to say, but with the foundation of Mahayana Buddhism, where in this vast world can we find a place to hide?"
He was deeply worried.
Many Fish remained silent, pondering a safe place, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a suitable and secure location.
Hearing this, Lin Fan contemplated and said, "Junior has a suggestion."
"What about the Central State?"
"The Central State?"
They pondered for a moment.
Then, San Dian said, "Little friend, your suggestion is indeed good."
"The Central State is very strong and quite exclusive. If we hide there carefully, Kungjian won't dare to act too boldly."
"Relatively speaking..."
"The Central State is indeed the most suitable."
"Then let's go to the Central State!" Jiase immediately responded.
"The Central State is indeed a good choice," Many Fish agreed.
"I have a friend in the Central State, I can seek his help, and perhaps it'll be easier..."
"Then what are we waiting for?!"
Jiase shouted, "Let's get out of here!"
"Wishing you three seniors a smooth journey, junior will not disturb you further."
Ending the 'communication'.
As Lin Fan departed, he also used the Eightfold Mirror Technique to keep an eye on Kungjian's group.
At the same time, they contacted Lian Bo to inquire about Tang Wu's whereabouts.
······
The Minor Western Heaven Ruins.
···, to be precise, it can no longer be called ruins.
It was utterly devastated, and the shattered space remained unrepaired for a long time. The sky was filled with dangling Order Divine Chains and various Affairs Dao Patterns, a manifestation of the 'Order' of the Heavenly Dao, attempting to mend this broken 'corner' of the world.
However, the progress was painfully slow.
The traces of the great battle around were slowly fading.
But those outside, at the Seventh and Eighth Realms, still couldn't probe the internal situation.
Kongwen and the two Supreme Beings from Minor Western Heaven had extremely unsightly expressions, remaining silent for a long time.
After several dozen breaths, one of the two from Minor Western Heaven, the short and stout one, clenched his teeth and said, "We can't wait any longer. In this battle, our Buddhist Sect has suffered heavy losses, and the aftermath of the battle will soon dissipate. We must come up with a plan."
The other one said, "The latest news is that all the Ninth Realm cultivators in the seven states of the eight domains have received the message, and many of them are rushing here as fast as they can. Calculating the time, the fastest group should be arriving soon."
"Indeed, we should make preparations early, or else..."
"This is not good for the entire Buddhist Sect!"
Kongwen let out a long sigh and said coldly, "Do you think I don't know that as well?"
Why are they still saying these unnecessary words? Who doesn't know this?
But the problem is... I still haven't figured out a good solution! He felt depressed.
This battle had caused too many losses.
In the eight domains and one state, excluding the Central State, the overall strength of the other eight domains wasn't significantly different.
Although there were strong and weak ones, the number of Supreme Beings, the strongest being the Eastern Domain and the weakest being the Northwest Domain, differed by at most five or six.
Before this, the Western Domain was among the top three of the eight domains!
But in today's battle, the Buddhist Sect was directly hit by Barrett Patriarch, who, despite being a street punk, managed to kill seven Supreme Beings and nearly ten Ninth Realm cultivators... This instantly reduced the Western Domain's strength, making it the weakest among the eight domains!!!
Once the strong cultivators from the other domains learn of this, it won't just be a matter of losing face.
Even more so, this news must not be leaked! If it does, the Buddhist Sect will surely be destroyed!
Thinking of this, Kongwen immediately clenched his teeth and said, "We must not let them know about the outcome of this battle!"
"Fortunately, no one could probe this battle. After a while, we will appear and announce that Barrett Patriarch has fallen into demonic possession. We will declare that Minor Western Heaven has been destroyed, several Human Buddhas have been slain, and we will also claim to have killed the possessed Barrett Patriarch."
"Us, the Supreme Beings..."
"Not a single casualty!"
The two from Minor Western Heaven: "(⊙o⊙)···"
No casualties...
Good, good, good. That's what they said.
Their mouths twitched slightly, but they understood that this was indeed the best way to maintain order in the Western Domain.
"But, will anyone believe it?"
"They have no choice but to believe!" Kongwen coldly huffed, "We will show our strength, and before they arrive, we will appear! I possess a Duplicate Secret Technique, and even an ordinary Ninth Realm cultivator won't be able to see through it."
"Afterwards, I will use my Transformation Secret Technique to disguise myself as the other seven Supreme Beings, and then all ten of us will appear together and leave."
"After that, even if those bastards arrive, what can they do without concrete information? Who would dare to cause trouble?"
"As for us..."
"We will stay here, suppressing the villains."
At this moment, Kongwen couldn't help but clench his teeth, and he gritted out, "Investigate and find the thief who stole from the treasury! They must be captured and brought to justice!!!"
This was a huge loss!
He was truly furious.
Minor Western Heaven was led by Mahayana Buddhism, and they had indeed invested a lot of effort.
People contributed manpower and resources, everything was provided!
All of this was for the purpose of~~~ attracting other Buddhist temples to join.
This was, in essence, a grand scheme.
Under the banner of creating the 'Western Heaven' and building the most prosperous Buddhist Sect, they lured other Buddhist temples to join.
After joining~~~
Our Mahayana Buddhism has benefited, how can you not contribute as well?
If you don't contribute manpower and resources, how can Minor Western Heaven become the strongest force and surpass Mahayana Buddhism to become the pinnacle among the Holy Lands? With such persuasion, everyone naturally contributed what they could.
But Kongwen's idea was simple. In the end, our Mahayana Buddhism has the strongest strength and the most people. If you join Minor Western Heaven, it will indeed become the strongest force, even surpassing Mahayana Buddhism.
But in the end~
Minor Western Heaven is not our Mahayana Buddhism, and it's not under my, Kongwen, the Supreme Lord's control.
So.
The treasury of Minor Western Heaven was indeed very 'rich'.
Most of the treasures were displayed to attract newcomers.
Now that it had been emptied, he naturally couldn't just sit and do nothing!
He must find the thief and kill them! Otherwise...
This battle would truly be a complete loss, even down to their underwear.
People had died, treasures were lost, and the Minor Western Heaven plan was almost back to square one... Just thinking about it made Kongwen feel a darkness before his eyes!
The two Supreme Beings from Minor Western Heaven exchanged glances and nodded, "Your words are reasonable."
"We can only do this."
In fact...
They were originally from Mahayana Buddhism.
In the end, they were all one family.
They naturally understood Kongwen's thoughts and knew this was the best solution.
First, 'appear together'.
Then, pretend to solve the problem forcefully.
While trying to recover the numerous treasures from the treasury.
On the other hand, they would secretly stabilize the Western Domain to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation...
After that, they began their plan.
Kongwen's secret technique was powerful.
A group of ten Supreme Beings appeared, and indeed, no one detected anything unusual.
"Everyone."
"The possessed Barrett Patriarch has been slain!"
"Minor Western Heaven will be rebuilt after some time. Disperse!"
"As for the three traitors, San Dian, Jiase, and Many Fish, I will immediately send people to hunt them down!"
