Chapter 391: Cloud Peak Palace, the Betrayal of the Forgetzen Path! The World at War! (Part 1)
2024-08-08
Chaos!
Unbelievable chaos!
Lin Fan originally thought that by this time, the Great Vehicle Buddhism would have suffered a crushing defeat, leaving only a few old undying or 'apex' masters barely holding on.
But the reality far exceeded his imagination, and it was not at all as he had imagined!
The Great Vehicle Buddhism was indeed at a disadvantage, but it wasn't as 'disadvantaged' as he thought!
Even...
There was a subtle sense of an evenly matched battle!
"..."
"This is..."
"What the..."
Lin Fan's eyebrows twitched.
Not only was the current battle situation different from what he had expected, but the 'division' of the battlefield had also gone awry!
"If my eyes aren't deceiving me, has Cloud Peak Palace and the Forgetzen Path...betrayed us?!"
"!"
"Is the Annihilation Black Lotus Sanctuary hiding this deep?"
"Just when did this happen..."
At this moment, the battlefield was in complete disarray.
Originally, it was eleven against one, and with the Gatling Buddha having already taken down seven apex masters from the Buddhist Sect, even with the 'black skin enhancement', they were undoubtedly no match for the Eleven Holy Lands. From the moment they clashed, their situation was precarious.
But at some unknown point, the eleven-on-one battle suddenly became nine against three!
Cloud Peak Palace and the Forgetzen Path directly switched sides, throwing the remaining nine Holy Lands into chaos.
Moreover, as they betrayed, a group of old undying masters with limited lifespans and who had resigned themselves to death emerged from within the Great Vehicle Buddhism!
The state of these old undying masters was highly unusual.
Clearly, they only had 'one breath' left, but under the black skin enhancement, they were unexpectedly stronger and more aggressive than ever, and they had 'several breaths' left without dying. They directly forced everyone into a continuous retreat, causing immense discomfort.
It wasn't that they couldn't be dealt with.
If the cost was to be considered, taking them down would be a breeze.
But everyone knew that these guys would undoubtedly perish after this battle, and they were here to fight to the death!
If they charged in together, these old undying masters would undoubtedly self-destruct!
These late-stage Ninth Realm masters, even those who once belonged to the 'apex' level, if they self-destructed, the power would be unimaginable.
If they were surrounded and killed, once they got close, their self-destruction might take everyone around them down with them.
Unless it's absolutely necessary...
Who would want to die with them?
Hence, the battle situation became somewhat 'stalemated' and intense.
"This is troublesome."
Lin Fan frowned.
"Strike while the iron is hot, but the third time's the charm."
"I thought I could hide behind the scenes, but it seems..."
...
The Great Vehicle Buddhism Battlefield.
"Hahaha!"
A burst of maniacal laughter reverberated throughout the area. Kong Wu had completely blackened, even his eyes turning entirely black without any whites, and he coughed up mouthfuls of blood as he was forced to retreat, but he laughed with unparalleled madness.
"The Nine Dragons Sacred Land?"
"So what!"
"Today, the outcome is still uncertain!"
"Arrogance!" Duanmu stepped forward and engaged him in a fierce battle, saying, "If not for Cloud Peak Palace and the Forgetzen Path joining forces with you in your filthy deeds, how dare you speak so boldly?"
"Hahaha, so what?"
"History is written by the victors!"
Kong Wu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and once again fought fiercely, showing no signs of retreat.
Duanmu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, deeply troubled.
"Then you should win first before talking!"
Boom!
The two Supreme Sovereign-level beings engaged in an intense battle, each wielding their sect's ultimate weapon, their power reaching the pinnacle of the apex.
As the master of the Wuyi Palace in Zhongzhou, Duanmu's combat prowess was absolutely terrifying! But Kong Wu was also a Supreme Sovereign, and with his blackened state, his power skyrocketed. Although Duanmu suppressed him, it would be a thousand times more difficult to defeat him.
...
"Master...Master!"
Lin Dong was stunned.
As the Sacred Son of Cloud Peak Palace, he had naturally come along this time.
After all, the other Sacred Sons had already arrived.
This was an opportunity to gain experience and grow.
Moreover, if he didn't come, wouldn't it seem too out of place?
But...
Lin Dong was at a loss.
He wanted to question his master.
But just at this moment, the master of Cloud Peak Palace was struck by the Heaven-Cleaving Sect Lord, causing his body to tremble and retreat.
"Master."
Lin Dong hurried forward, intending to support him.
His expression was conflicted.
Although he felt torn, this was still his master! It was natural to worry when his master was injured.
However, it was at this moment that his master suddenly turned around.
His eyes were pitch-black, with no whites visible.)
On his face and in the depths of his eyes, no emotions could be discerned.
"Master, you...?!"
He was about to reach out to support him.
Suddenly!
Lin Dong's face turned pale.
Thud!
His master, the master of Cloud Peak Palace, unexpectedly struck back with a blow aimed directly at his dantian!
"Master?!"
Lin Dong was shocked.
Although he was among the ranks of the Heaven's Pride List, how could he possibly be a match for his master?
This strike was life-threatening! But...
His master was attempting to kill him!
He felt an icy chill in his heart, filled with horror, and quickly dodged to the side.
But...
It was too late!
Pfft!
His 'dragon scales' were damaged, and his abdomen was almost blown apart!
Fortunately, after transforming into a dragon, the position of his dantian changed, and although he was severely injured, he wasn't completely disabled. However, the severe injury caused Lin Dong to instantly revert to his human form, spewing blood from his mouth, and his intestines even spilled out.
Lin Dong staggered back, his face filled with disbelief. "Master... why are you doing this?"
"Why?"
The Supreme Sovereign of Cloud Peak Palace actually attacked him, and he coldly laughed, "You are an unparalleled genius, and your flesh, blood, and divine soul's origin will be of great use to my master!"
"Moreover, with such an opportunity, you must be the chosen one of destiny. Your 'Heavenly Mandate' will be even more useful!"
"Sacrificing yourself for my master and becoming his nourishment will be the greatest honor of your life."
"If you still recognize me as your master, come here and end your own life!"
"Only then will your death be meaningful, and it will be your best destination."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes widened in shock, almost frozen in place.
"Are you still my master?"
"How dare you speak such shameless words?"
He felt like his entire worldview had exploded!
What kind of person would say such things?
You want to kill me and use my flesh and divine soul's origin to feed your master? And you say it's an honor for me to be devoured by you?
What kind of person would say such outrageous things?
Is this still my master?
Lin Dong stared at him in disbelief, but the other party showed no signs of joking, causing Lin Dong's scalp to go numb. He quickly struggled to retreat.
"Why are you running?"
"Don't you recognize me as your master anymore?"
"Do you intend to be a traitor who betrays his sect?"
Lin Dong trembled, speechless.
"Master, you...!"
"Hahaha."
"It's truly laughable."
"A dog like you dares to be someone's master and teach them?"
"You're insulting the title of 'master'!"
Swish!
The Heaven-Cleaving Sect Lord appeared in front of Lin Dong, blocking him.
The Sorceress quietly appeared and took Lin Dong away.
"A thing like you that isn't even worth mentioning is better off dead." The Heaven-Cleaving Sect Lord let out a low growl and attacked again, unleashing various secret techniques one after another, forcing the Supreme Sovereign of Cloud Peak Palace to retreat continuously, unable to cause any more trouble for Lin Dong.
However, Lin Dong's condition was terrible.
He was severely injured, though not on the brink of death, but the betrayal by his own master made it hard for him to accept, and his Dao Heart was almost shattered! His condition was terrible, and he looked extremely haggard.
Seeing him like this, the Sorceress frowned, unsure how to comfort him.
She had saved Lin Dong, seeing that he hadn't 'betrayed' them, and with such unparalleled genius, it would be a waste if he died.
But comforting people...
She didn't know how to do it!
She was good at being ambiguous.
"..., mourn."
After a long silence, she managed to utter these two words.
Lin Dong: "_(3」∠)_..."
How can I mourn?
My master isn't dead yet!
But...
At this moment, Lin Dong suddenly felt that his master... might as well be dead.
At least, if he were dead, there wouldn't be all these troubles today.
In the future, he wouldn't bear the curses of generations.
And even the entire Cloud Peak Palace...
At this moment, Lin Dong felt particularly dazed.
She knew that thinking this way was 'disrespectful'.
But she couldn't help but think this way.
Especially when he looked up and saw that the powerful beings who were supposed to guard Cloud Peak Palace had quietly joined the battle, not knowing when they had arrived.
There were even many that he hadn't seen before, and their strength was stronger than in their normal state as they aggressively charged into the battlefield.
The battlefield became increasingly chaotic.
The combined strength of the Eleven Holy Lands was naturally incomparable to the Great Vehicle Buddhism, Cloud Peak Palace, and the Forgetzen Path.
But these three forces were going all out, directly revealing their true strength!
Even the ancient beings were brought out, while the Eleven Holy Lands hadn't reached that stage yet and didn't want to reveal their true strength.
So...
For now, these three forces managed to hold their ground.
Lin Dong watched with a troubled heart.
It was unbearable!
But for a moment, he didn't know what to do. He wanted to stop it, but his current condition...
"Hehe."
He let out a bitter laugh.
Even if he was in his prime, what could he do?
Although he had some talent, in such a battlefield, he couldn't do anything.
Being able to stay alert and avoid being assassinated was already a blessing.
"I'm still... not strong enough."
"And I lack my own power."
Lin Dong quietly clenched his fists.
He once thought that his status as the Holy Son of Cloud Peak Palace was enough.
In the future, he could even succeed the Supreme Sovereign, backed by a Holy Land... Why would he need to develop his own power?
In the midst of the chaos, Xiao Longnu, being of true dragon lineage, was the first to flee!
Her bloodline was already invaluable, and those guys naturally wanted to 'sacrifice' her.
She understood this principle, and having spent some time with Jianqiang Fan, she was well-versed in the art of survival.
At a time like this, she couldn't help, and with her inherent 'mockery' aura, it was high time she ran for her life.
The other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were all peerless geniuses, equally considered 'nourishing' treasures.
When they realized the stalemate on the battlefield and the uncertainty that emerged, they began to retreat, either on their own or under the command of their elders to do so as quickly as possible.
Even after leaving, they didn't 'gather' together.
Instead, they dispersed with their guardians, using their secret techniques to hide themselves.
...
The battle was too intense!
The description of the heavens collapsing and the earth shattering was no longer just words but reality!
The sky crumbled, the earth cracked, and deep within the ground, thousand-foot-tall boulders were blasted out, shattered, and then turned to dust...
The chaotic melee was too chaotic!
However, the Nine Holy Lands hadn't crumbled; they were holding their ground. With their numerical advantage and solid tactics, they showed no signs of weakness.
Moreover, with the nine Supreme Sovereign-level beings and the nine Town-Sect Emperor Weapons, as long as they could prolong the battle, they would eventually gain some advantage!
But...
Gu Xinglian and the others felt a sense of unease in their hearts.
"That bald monk, Kong Wu, is too confident, and the other old guys are the same. They're crazy, but they don't show a hint of despair; it's as if they're certain of victory."
"They must have a backup plan!"
"We need to be careful!"
"I'm afraid we'll have to mobilize our forces too."
They communicated through divine sense, discussing the situation.
"Mobilizing everyone might not be appropriate, but partial mobilization is necessary; otherwise, we might face a major disaster."
"Indeed, we must prepare early!"
Just then, they keenly sensed a large number of powerful beings forcefully breaking in and joining the battle from the outskirts.
"It's the baldies from other temples!"
"Damn it!"
Li Canghai cursed silently, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered with evidence. I should've just killed my way to Great Vehicle Buddhism, destroying all the temples and baldies. How dare they act so arrogantly?!"
"It's too late to say anything now."
"Let's unleash hell upon them!"
Duanmu added, equally furious.
What a bunch of Buddhists!
They've all 'turned dark'?
"The Hinayana Buddhism is here too!"
"I'll go deal with that baldy."
Li Canghai cursed as he soared upwards to confront the Hinayana Buddhism's leader.
Although the leader wasn't a Supreme Sovereign-level figure, they were the strongest just below that rank, and their famous Demon-Subduing Mace was extremely formidable, ranking just below the Town-Sect Emperor Weapons. So, Li Canghai didn't dare to underestimate them.
As soon as he took action, he pushed the Celestial Demon Palace to its limits.
The Hinayana Buddhism's leader, who had been screaming as he charged forward, was suddenly forced to retreat again and again. His excited screams turned into angry roars, a display of impotent rage.
"Hmm?"
Li Canghai was surprised, "You, baldy, shouldn't be this weak."
"Where's your Demon-Subduing Mace?"
"Bring it out, and let this Palace Lord smash it to pieces today!"
The Hinayana Buddhism's leader's face turned green at those words.
How dare you ask me to bring it out for you to smash?
If I could bring it out, why would I let you act so arrogantly?
He was filled with anger.
But without his magic weapon in hand, and with the Celestial Demon Palace pressing forward, it was less of a confrontation with Li Canghai and more of him being a punching bag.
However, the addition of other Buddhist powerhouses to the battlefield did bring some impact to the Nine Holy Lands.
The situation became even more chaotic.
For a moment, the Nine Holy Lands seemed to be slightly overwhelmed, and their battle lines slowly 'retreated'.
The Buddhist side, gaining the upper hand, showed no mercy and pursued relentlessly!
With their fearless and fearless attitude, they would self-destruct without hesitation once they felt their lives were in danger, a tactic that directly pressured the Nine Holy Lands, forcing them to retreat, again and again.
Seeing that they were on the verge of collapse, Lin Fan couldn't sit still any longer.
"Even at this point, do the Nine Holy Lands still care about face?"
He immediately contacted Gu Xinglian using a sound transmission jade talisman.
"Senior!"
"Lin Fan?" Gu Xinglian, amidst the battle, glanced at Lin Fan with the Heaven-Watching Mirror, confirming their safety. After Kong Wu's complete disappearance, she was slightly surprised, "You were lucky, very lucky."
"Indeed, we were lucky."
Lin Fan responded and then said, "The battle situation is a bit dire. Have you and the other Supreme Sovereigns and Holy Mothers considered letting other forces join?"
"Buddhism has already sent their elites, and this battle concerns the entire Immortal Martial Continent, not just the Nine Holy Lands."
"Why not let other first-rate and super-first-rate forces participate, with each contributing their strength to jointly confront this 'world-ending disaster'?"
"As for..."
"Let's speak frankly about the matter of profit distribution. If it's just the eleven families from the Western Region sharing, it might seem insufficient."
"But now, we also have to consider the territories of Cloud Peak Palace and the Forgetzen Path. Why worry about profit distribution?"
"In my opinion, it's better to directly call upon other forces and swiftly resolve this matter."
"What do you think, Senior?"
"..."
Gu Xinglian transmitted, "Face.
"Benefits are one issue, but the reputation of the Holy Lands is also a concern."
"I understand," Lin Fan replied. "But now, the Nine Holy Lands are already at a slight disadvantage. If this continues, they might win, but being suppressed by the three Sacred Lands, won't it affect their reputation?"
"So, in my opinion, reputation is..."
"You little rascal."
Gu Xinglian smiled and chided, "Are you trying to teach me now?"
"However, what you said makes sense."
"But among these Supreme Sovereigns and Holy Mothers, there are many stubborn ones."
"Then, should you take the lead?"
"I, the Holy Mother of the Wan Hua Holy Land, hereby command all first-rate and super-first-rate powers in the "parameters": "Southwest Domain",
