Chapter 420: Immortal Deities! Buddha!

Chapter 420: Immortal Deities! Buddha!

"You want to kill me?!"

The dark-shadowed demon, with a hideous expression, roared fiercely.

His entire body surged with energy, and streams of divine light burst forth from within, and as he turned and reached out, he was about to unleash a thunderous attack.

But in just an instant—

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly transformed into a bubble, dissipating in place, leaving only streaks of divine light carrying dangerous auras, continuing to surge out.

It seemed like a forceful attack, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to flee!

And in the blink of an eye, the divine lights had already covered the void where he had been standing.

Wang Zhongshan, who was lying on the ground in the distance, quickly got up, grabbed the True Dragon Bow, and with all his might, he drew the bowstring again.

Strike while the enemy is weak, take their life!

With the arrival of human reinforcements, there was no way the demons could escape unscathed!

Did they really think they could come and go as they pleased in this Stone Spirit City of the demons?

Moo!!

A dragon's roar echoed, and a dragon's shadow appeared.

But before he could even release his arrow, a giant hand emerged from the divine light, directly swatting away the various treasures.

Immediately after, this giant hand, with a palm strike, unleashed strands of heaven-opening Dao essence, which fell into the void.

In the next instant—

Boom!

A muffled explosion reverberated.

In the distant sky, blood rained down, and then a headless demon body appeared from the void, falling straight onto the ground.

Qin Zheng calmly retracted his hand, and a demon core emitting golden light appeared in his palm.

These Great Transcendent Realm demons, in Qin Zheng's eyes at this moment, were no different from ants, easily killed with a few palm strikes!

He put the demon core into his storage bag and turned to look at the demon army, which was currently in a state of shock.

Although the demon didn't provide much merit, the number of them was enough to make up for it.

He turned his hand over, gently gripping as if holding something special, and without hesitation, he clenched it tightly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous explosions echoed, like firecrackers, rang out from within the demon army.

Demons fell from the sky, smashing into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

In an instant, the air was filled with a thick, bloody aura, as demon blood surged like rivers and lakes amidst the mountains.

This potential demon invasion that could have breached Stone Spirit City was crushed by Qin Zheng's mighty hand.

And at that very moment—

"I, Wang Zhongshan of the Central Immortal Dynasty, have had the honor of meeting the Jade Void Immortal!"

Wang Zhongshan, covered in blood, crossed through layers of void and arrived before Qin Zheng, bowing with clasped hands and speaking with reverence.

Qin Zheng slowly retracted his hand and turned to look at the human Great Transcender before him, and said softly, "The Jade Void Immortal?"

Wang Zhongshan replied, "I have met the Three Thousand Great Transcenders of the Central Immortal Dynasty, but I don't recall meeting you, Immortal."

"Furthermore, if my guess is correct, the palm strike you just unleashed is the secret, non-heritable treasure of the Jade Void Palace—the Heaven-Shattering Seal."

"So, I dare to speculate that you are indeed the Jade Void Immortal!"

Wang Zhongshan spoke with conviction.

Central Immortal Dynasty

Three Thousand Great Transcenders

Jade Void Palace.

Qin Zheng's mind slightly focused.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the distant, towering fortress.

From the moment he arrived, he had witnessed the vastness of this realm.

The size of this realm was comparable to a Great Realm within the Primordial Cavern Heaven!

Using a Great Realm as a city, with a Great Transcender as its general, and tens of thousands of Great Transcenders as its army—the upper limit of this realm had already surpassed the Primordial Cavern Heaven!

Qin Zheng's mind was filled with surging thoughts, but he suppressed the urge to take immediate action and quickly dispelled the idea of clearing out the demons in this realm.

A realm of this magnitude might house existences beyond the Great Transcender rank!

And at that moment, seeing Qin Zheng's calm demeanor and lack of response, Wang Zhongshan became even more convinced of his guess.

Such an aura!

Such a posture!

It could only be someone from the Jade Void Palace, looking down upon the mortal world!

Thus, he became even more reverent, and even though he was a Great Transcender, he slightly bowed, seeking to ingratiate himself.

Qin Zheng noticed his action, and his curiosity about the Jade Void Palace in this realm grew.

Could the Jade Void Palace in this realm be the true Jade Void Palace?

"Cough, cough!"

A fit of coughing came from the front.

Wang Zhongshan's face turned pale, and his energy quickly plummeted.

But when Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon him, he forced himself to speak, "Immortal, is your visit related to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly?"

"If so, please follow me back to Stone Spirit City. I will send a message to the Immortal City, and they will make preparations."

After speaking, he turned his gaze forward, toward a youth dressed in a golden-patterned dark robe, his expression remaining calm despite the injuries he had sustained.

As time passed, his wounds became more severe.

The Great Dharmaraja Realm had three layers, each a Ninecious Heaven, and he had just endured a full-power strike from a Great Transcendent Mystic Number. How could he possibly escape unscathed?

He hadn't been killed on the spot only because of the heavy armor he wore, a Primordial Divine Artifact bestowed by the Central Immortal Dynasty! Qin Zheng looked at Wang Zhongshan, who was barely holding on, and shook his head gently. "We'll talk about this later. Go back and heal your injuries first."

Wang Zhongshan nodded and then pointed towards Spirit Rock City, saying respectfully, "Please enter the city, Upper Immortal."

Qin Zheng nodded calmly and, together with Wang Zhongshan, they stepped into the void and directly entered the interior of Spirit Rock City.

With the demon infestation resolved, the border guard soldiers who defended the city were the happiest.

They had long known the strength of both sides and were well aware of the consequences of this demon infestation.

If Spirit Rock City fell, as border guards, they would face certain death with little chance of survival. They had prepared for this, but not only did they not die in battle, the invading demon race was completely annihilated!

Even ten Great Transcendent demons were among the casualties.

And the root of it all was that mysterious, powerful being who had descended from the heavens and suddenly intervened.

But the battle between Great Transcendent beings was not something those below their realm could clearly perceive.

Thus, various speculations about this mysterious figure arose within Spirit Rock City, gradually spreading beyond its walls.

Some said he was a pure and enlightened figure who had come from the Immortal Capital, a master of Buddhism with a complete understanding of the Dharma.

Others claimed he was a heavenly immortal of noble status and formidable power.

There were also those who believed he was a powerful demon who, after turning against his own kind, had mercilessly annihilated his fellow demons to protect Spirit Rock City.

All sorts of theories emerged, and even storytellers wove these events into tales that spread throughout the city.

But Qin Zheng, the central figure in these events, was unaware of the speculations at the time.

arrow, even if he had known, he likely wouldn't have reacted.

At that moment, he was in a meditation chamber within Spirit Rock City, a place reserved for the border defense forces.

Wang Zhongshan's injuries were severe, so after returning, he naturally had to go and heal immediately and couldn't stay by Qin Zheng's side.

So Qin Zheng went directly to the meditation chamber, hoping to learn about this world through the resources there.

The books in the chamber covered a vast array of topics, including information about this world.

"The Vast Continent," Qin Zheng murmured softly, his eyes gleaming as he set down an ancient tome.

This world had no stars or Grand Realm, only an endless, boundless continent.

On this continent, not only did humans and demons coexist, but also Buddhas and celestial beings! The demons were powerful and occupied most of the world.

The humans, in their weakness, had united, and a heaven-defying genius had emerged to establish the Central Immortal Dynasty.

Even so, the humans were still no match for the demons, so they sent an envoy to the Spirit Mountain to seek the protection of the Buddha.

Buddhism required the assistance of sentient beings' votive power, and as humans had the purest votive power, they agreed to help on this condition.

Therefore, among the three thousand Great Transcendent beings of the Central Immortal Dynasty, most were from the Buddhist community.

Aside from these three forces, the celestial beings above remained aloof, never involving themselves in mortal affairs.

No matter how fierce the conflict between humans and demons became, they rarely showed themselves.

But their absence didn't mean they were weak; on the contrary, the celestial beings above were the most powerful in the Vast Continent.

Neither the Spirit Mountain nor the demons dared to underestimate the heavenly immortals.

This was why Wang Zhongshan's demeanor had been so respectful and humble upon seeing Qin Zheng.

Even though Wang Zhongshan himself was a Great Transcendent, having already transformed his origin and becoming akin to a Primordial Divine Being, he still had to bow his head before the heavenly immortals and treat them with utmost reverence.

Now that the humans had the support of the Spirit Mountain, if they could also gain the assistance of the celestial beings, the demons would no longer be a threat!

Qin Zheng digested this information, gaining a clearer understanding of the Vast Continent.

Humans, demons, Buddhas, and celestial beings! On this continent, there were even Buddhas and celestial beings!

Given this, the upper limits of this world would not be limited to the Great Transcendent Realm, and there might even be Chaos Primordial beings!

With this thought, Qin Zheng's heart grew heavy.

Chaos Primordial

This realm existed in a different dimension compared to the Great Transcendent Realm.

Even at his current level, though he could sweep through most Great Transcendent beings, he might not be much different from an ant in the face of a Chaos Primordial.

So, the idea of forcefully intervening and sweeping across the realm was temporarily dismissed.

But calamity and fortune are intertwined!

The existence of Chaos Origin in this world proves that there is a chance to attain Chaos Origin here!

Moreover, with an infinite number of demons to slay and absorb merit for cultivation, this place might just be his blessed land!

Qin Zheng's eyes flashed, and various thoughts surged in his mind.

However, Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the memory of the Immortal Deity's severed finger recovery, he had glimpsed a part of the truth about the Nine Heavens Great War.

That war was a joint battle between humans, demons, and Immortal Deities.

Now, on this Vast Continent, these three forces coexist, but the Immortal Deities remain aloof, watching the conflict between humans and demons from above.

Was it because the Immortal Deities of the Nine Heavens won the final victory in that war?

But here, not only are there humans, demons, and Immortal Deities, but also the Buddha, of which he had never heard before!

What position did Buddhism hold during the Nine Heavens Great War?

And

That so-called polluted energy!

Previously, Qin Zheng had speculated that the war might have been triggered by the appearance of polluted energy, causing some Great Beings to become contaminated.

If that was the case, are the Immortal Deities in this world also affected by the pollution?

Thoughts flooded his mind.

Qin Zheng continued to browse through the books in the Scripture Pavilion, trying to find any clues or hints.

But in the end, Qin Zheng did not find the information he wanted and had to give up.

Seven days had passed since leaving the Scripture Pavilion, and Wang Zhongshan was still recovering from his injuries.

Qin Zheng found a place to cultivate, using the Dao Unity Seal to conceal the cause-and-effect heavenly providence. Then, he took out the pagoda fragment.

Hum!

The moment the pagoda fragment appeared, it trembled slightly, emitting a clear humming sound.

A faint connection seemed to appear, and a direction emerged in Qin Zheng's heart, as if guiding him to a certain place.

Heaven-Earth Mystic Golden Tower!

This Innate Defensive Supreme Treasure had been shattered into varying numbers of fragments, and the direction of the guidance in Qin Zheng's heart was different!

In other words, on the Vast Continent, these fragments of the Supreme Treasure had not been collected but were still scattered across the land.

However, unless the Supreme Treasure was deliberately hidden, Qin Zheng did not believe that the Great Beings of this world would not sense the presence of this treasure.

If it was the former, it was understandable, but if it was the latter, collecting the pagoda fragments would indeed be troublesome.

Qin Zheng's gaze fell on the pagoda fragment in his palm, which floated up and down, emitting rays of golden light. He then put it away.

This item was something he had to collect, but there was no need to rush. It would be better to first investigate the Vast Continent thoroughly before taking action.

To be honest, with Qin Zheng's current combat power, he could even slay those of the Great Transcendent Golden Numbers.

Additionally, with the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones, he could practically walk across the Great Transcendent Realm.

However, this world seemed to contain Chaos Origin, so he needed to be more cautious.

If this Vast Continent had no Immortal Deities, no Buddha, and no suspected Chaos Origin Great Beings...

Then he could act without restraint, and it wouldn't take long to gather all the pagoda fragments and annihilate all the demons in this world!

Qin Zheng's thoughts surged, and he quickly put away the pagoda fragment. At the same time, he waved his right hand, and ten radiant demon cores appeared.

After killing ten Great Transcenders in this battle and accumulating considerable merit, it was the perfect time to refine the demon cores and improve his cultivation!

If he could refine the Great Dharmaraja Essence Pill, he could also try to open the third Divine Treasury and directly break through to the Great Transcendent Golden Numbers!

As Qin Zheng thought this, he reached out and held the Transcendent Demonic Pill in his palm.

Hum!

In an instant.

On the sea of consciousness, the virtue scroll trembled slightly, and lines of text quickly emerged.

[Discovery.]



[Note]

[.]



In a certain underground realm within the Spirit Rock City.

Golden light and crystal clear sounds filled the air.

Lifelike Buddhist dharma images stood in this vast temple.

In the space between heaven and earth, pure votive power continuously emerged from the void, converging towards the temple.

Deep within the temple, an old monk with white hair and beard sat quietly in a pavilion above a golden lake, his eyes closed.

The entire process appeared peaceful and serene.

Just then, a Buddhist disciple appeared and cautiously approached the old monk, whispering a few words.

The old monk instantly opened his eyes, and golden light radiated from them.
