Chapter 462: The Return of the Great Sage, the Supreme Protector of Ink City and the Netherworld (Part 1)
Boom!
A terrifying aura, mixed with the sound of chains whipping and clanging, shattered the void, creating a deafening roar.
Death energy, corpse energy, divine essence, Dao essence, and tribulation powers, all intertwined, forming streaks of black lightning that relentlessly ravaged the emaciated figure standing atop the white jade slide.
The chaotic and surging power rippled outward, striking the surroundings, causing the space to tremble like ripples on a pond.
The raging wind howled, and the terrifying ripples shook the air.
Chain after chain lashed out like whips, striking the surroundings.
The overwhelming pressure was like a tidal wave, overwhelming and crushing everything in its path, erasing all existence.
It was as if a god and demon had descended!
The terror was indescribable!
After sitting in seclusion for thousands of years, this moment was the time to protect Heaven-Striking Temple!
Li Che, wearing the face of Heaven-Striking Temple, revealed an expression of utmost shock in his eyes.
At this moment, the Dao fruits in his chest cavity were all throbbing, each becoming extremely active, and among them, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit was emitting a high alert!
Danger! Danger! Danger!
The void trembled, and an invisible wave spread instantly.
The powerful aura was like a divine mountain reaching into the sky, but it was cut off at the waist by a terrifying force, collapsing and falling into the mortal realm, resembling an immense seal that smashed down with unstoppable momentum.
What formidable and frightening aura!
Even Li Che was utterly terrified at this moment.
This was the most terrifying aura he had encountered so far.
The numerous Two-Calamity Divine Tribulation experts present seemed insignificant in the face of such formidable energy, unable to display their own auras, and were forced to retreat back into their bodies.
It was an absolute suppression!
They were not on the same level at all!
"This is..."
"Three Calamities Converging! The Supreme Divine Tribulation!"
Li Che's pupils constricted.
The guardian corpse king of the Heaven-Striking Temple turned out to be a Supreme Divine Tribulation expert who had crossed the Three Calamities!
Crossing the Two Calamities made one an expert, while crossing the Three Calamities made one a Supreme!
The rampant pressure raged, dancing uncontrollably, covering the sky and blocking the sun, as if the entire inner city of Heaven-Striking Temple had fallen into an endless state of oppression at this moment.
What shocked Li Che even more was that this emaciated figure was the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple!
The founder of the once-greatest Divine Sect!
He hadn't died!
Heaven-Striking Temple had fallen from its peak, and for some unknown reason, the inner city was sealed, and most of the sect's powerful cultivators were buried.
When Li Che saw the numerous past cultivators of Heaven-Striking Temple transformed into guardian corpse kings upon the opening of the inner city gates, he had assumed that all the sect's experts had perished.
However, he never expected that the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple had endured thousands of years of seclusion without dying and held onto a single belief—to protect Heaven-Striking Temple. And now, with the reopening of the inner city, as the crowd approached the temple, he broke free from his shackles and transformed into a guardian corpse king!
His aura and cultivation had fully recovered to their peak state, becoming a terrifying existence at the level of a Three-Calamity Supreme!
Unstoppable...
The Dao fruits in Li Che's chest all issued warnings.
At this moment, Li Che understood that even if he exhausted all his means, he couldn't stop this Three-Calamity Supreme.
Wearing the face of Heaven-Striking Temple, Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He sensed that something was amiss.
He took a barely noticeable step back, intending to distance himself.
As the head of a family and the pillar for his daughter Xi Xi and wife Zhang Ya, Li Che had to always prioritize self-preservation.
Even though he was hidden by the ultimate concealment of the Sleeping Dragon Elephant, Li Che felt that the guardian corpse king, who was the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple, with his Supreme-level combat power, could definitely discover his trail.
Therefore, Li Che decided to be more cautious.
Boom!
"Madman! Truly a madman!"
The Black Bull Demon God, bearing the Purple Gold Beam, had his eyes wide open, revealing a look of horror.
"He endured for thousands of years, waiting for this moment to transform into a guardian corpse king! How could there be such an ancient creature?"
The Black Bull Demon God muttered in disbelief.
At this moment, under the impact of the Supreme's pressure, every cultivator who dared to challenge the temple was filled with awe and dread.
Zhang Wuji, the sect leader of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, had his robe fluttering in the wind, his black hair dancing wildly, and his face was solemn. Amidst the solemnity, there was also a hint of admiration: "Such strong conviction..."
"After sitting in seclusion for thousands of years, his body had already become feeble, and his combat strength had diminished to a fraction of its former self. The founder of Heaven-Striking Temple once stood at the pinnacle, and he was a Three-Calamity Supreme. Moreover, he had crossed the second calamity of the third tribulation, making him the strongest cultivator of his time."
"However, in the end, time is like a sharp blade, erasing his brilliance and combat strength. The reason he didn't become a guardian corpse king earlier was probably because he didn't want his power to be diminished by the passage of time."
"Even after becoming a guardian corpse king, his power would gradually weaken over time, never returning to its peak."
"But with the opening of the inner city and the emergence of the Wicked Temple, attracting the attention of powerful cultivators, the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple chose to transform into a guardian corpse king, unleashing the combat strength of his prime!"
Zhang Wuji took a deep breath, his robe fluttering tightly against his body.
His eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.
"But how could the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple, Fang Xin Yuan, endure the loneliness of thousands of years of seclusion, face the torment of his declining body, and withstand the relentless slashes of time? What kind of conviction could drive him to such extremes?"
"Is protecting Heaven-Striking Temple so important? Is it worth it?"
Zhang Wuji exhaled, his expression grave.
"Amitabha..."
"The guardian corpse king has just transformed, and his power has not yet reached its peak!"
"Everyone, don't hold back... Since you dared to challenge the Heaven-Striking Temple, you must have been prepared for this."
"We thought we would face a guardian corpse king who had been sealed away for countless years, his aura withered and exhausted. But instead, we encountered a being of great willpower, enduring thousands of years, only willing to transform into a corpse when facing a crisis."
"Fortunately, the moment the guardian corpse king transformed was also its weakest moment!"
"Everyone, let's suppress it together!"
The chanting of Buddhist mantras echoed like sound waves, and the radiant Buddha light soared into the sky, yet it was chillingly cold.
The monk from the Western Buddhist Kingdom, adorned with cicada patterns, stood on the white jade slide, palms pressed together, his monk's robe fluttering. The sound of his deep meditation reverberated endlessly.
"The founder of Heaven-Striking Temple, guarding his temple, who is this formidable enemy he wants to stop? Well... it shouldn't be us."
The Black Bull Demon God Lord gave a cold smile, curious yet continuing his actions. He forcefully slammed the sea purple gold beam onto the ground.
The next moment, he tore open the void with his five fingers, reaching into the Divine Origin space.
He grabbed something and pulled it out—an enormous demon pill, pulsating vigorously!
Thump, thump, thump—
The demon pill glowed with radiant light, and a substantial, powerful demon aura wove through the air.
Three calamity patterns on its surface emitted the terrifying aura of the Three Calamities Demon God.
The Black Bull Demon God Lord threw the demon pill with immense force!
Instantly, countless demon auras gathered, and divine essence surged like a raging tide!
Boom!
The space seemed to tear like a piece of cloth, violently shaken by an unseen force!
A figure formed by the convergence of demon auras, with the supreme demon pill as its origin, slowly materialized. The terrifying pressure it exuded made it seem as if the space itself couldn't bear the strain, unleashing a savage force.
The cicada-patterned monk from the Western Buddhist Kingdom took out a string of Buddha beads and threw them into the air. Instantly, the beads emitted a brilliant light, revealing a terrifyingly large Buddha figure in the sky, exuding an aura rivaling that of the Demon God.
The shaman priest from Shaman Mountain produced a translucent finger bone, also surrounded by an aura of supremacy.
In the hands of the previous emperor of Da Jing, Lu Wenchang, appeared a gathering immortals flag, shimmering with light as if a divine emperor stood within it.
Zhang Wuji of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect and the female Guanyin from the Southern Sea Bamboo Forest also took action.
One by one, supreme auras burst forth, soaring into the sky, fiercely suppressing the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple, who had transformed into the guardian corpse king.
It was clear that these individuals had come prepared.
They had even anticipated that the guardian corpse king of Heaven-Striking Temple might be a powerful existence comparable to the Three Calamities level!
Boom!
An unimaginable pressure instantly enveloped the entire inner city of Heaven City, and the terrifying force even seeped into the outer city. At this moment, the city that spanned two realms began to shake violently!
In the inner city of Heaven City, many cultivators nearly collapsed on the ground, overwhelmed by the supreme pressure.
They could only breathe heavily to calm their shocked hearts!
Everyone's gaze turned towards the direction of the Heaven-Striking Temple, their eyes filled with horror and astonishment.
Supreme pressure!
Could it be that the lineage of Heaven-Striking Temple has unleashed a supreme-level battle? The Three Calamities Supreme, unseen in the mortal realm!
In the mortal world, there might exist beings of the Three Calamities level, but such entities are so powerful that they cannot set foot in the mortal realm. Once they do, they face the absolute opposition of the will of heaven and earth.
Of course, it's not entirely absolute; perhaps there are supreme beings who possess mysterious means to return to the mortal realm.
However, it's undeniable that the Three Calamities Supreme has become a legendary existence in the mortal world.
People have only heard of the legends but have never witnessed their true forms.
Today, they felt the clash of supreme pressures, as if a supreme battle was about to erupt!
Many people's expressions changed, and their actions of exploring the palace became faster.
With the outbreak of war, it might not be long before the inner city of Heaven City undergoes a significant change. These cultivators, who had come solely for resources, naturally aimed to gather as many resources as possible, so they had to act quickly.
They wanted to secure the resources before the inner city of Heaven City underwent a transformation.
In the inner city of Heaven City, as the guardian corpse king was born and revived, terrifying roars shook the entire city.
The scattered guardian corpse kings instantly turned their eyes red, responding with howls.
Chaos engulfed the entire inner city of Heaven City.
...
...
The Heaven-Striking Temple stood tall atop a peak, with countless eerie mists swirling on both sides, resembling cascading waterfalls.
Death aura, shackles, and corpse energy raged and intertwined!
The emaciated founder of Heaven-Striking Temple, transformed into the guardian corpse king, seemed to have regained his peak strength, entering the realm of the Three Calamities Supreme!
He roared as he soared into the sky, his powerful will surging and swirling between heaven and earth.
"Protect Heaven-Striking Temple!"
"Protect!"
"Fight!"
His voice thundered like lightning, shaking the heavens. The founder of Heaven-Striking Temple punched, and countless corpse energies hung upside down, sweeping towards the supreme demon pill's power summoned by the Black Bull Demon God Lord.
His fierce and unparalleled attack nearly caused the demon figure transformed from the supreme demon pill to disintegrate.
This fierce scene was astonishing! Even the Black Bull Demon God Lord trembled at this moment, fearing that the supreme demon pill he had summoned would be smashed to pieces!
Fortunately, the Western Buddhist Kingdom, Shaman Mountain, Da Jing, Purple Mansion, and Bamboo Forest also unleashed their powers, each with auras rivaling the Demon God.
The supreme battle raged in mid-air, above the Heaven-Striking Temple. The void seemed to tear open, and supreme-level auras surged, with the power of the Three Calamities level stretching like a giant python.
In the vast sky, a thunderous roar echoed, as if a terrifying and oppressive aura was exploding, surging endlessly.
However, at this moment, the Guardian Temple Corpse King was ultimately suppressed.
The supreme essence of various powers surged forth, seizing the opportunity while the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple had just transformed into the Corpse King, his strength not yet reaching its peak, to suppress him completely!
"What a fierce battle! Although we summoned not the true bodies of our respective supreme ancestors, these are the powers of their supreme essences, truly extraordinary!"
"This severely wounded founder of Heaven-Striking Temple, who has been sitting here for thousands of years, transformed into the Corpse King, and yet he can still unleash such formidable power..."
"He won't be able to suppress our combined supreme powers, will he?"
The Black Bull Demon God stared at the battle scene above, where the sky was covered with eerie mists like a surging tide, and his face twitched.
Then, he suddenly swung the Sea-Crossing Purple-Gold Beam and took large strides, braving the supreme pressure as he climbed up the sloping white jade slide against the flow.
He rushed towards the Wicked Temple.
He planned to take advantage of the Guardian Temple Corpse King being blocked to rush into the Heaven-Striking Temple and seize the Three Purities Divine Weapon, the Golden Hoop Rod.
The Black Bull Demon God was well aware that it was uncertain if the combined supreme essence of various powers could completely suppress the founder of Heaven-Striking Temple.
Therefore, he had to act immediately to seize the opportunity.
The Demon Race had occupied Heaven City for five hundred years, and if they couldn't obtain that divine weapon after such a long wait, it would be a significant loss.
The Black Bull Demon God was chosen from among the ten thousand great rivers and had been waiting in Heaven City for five hundred years.
He wouldn't give up this opportunity easily.
"Where is the Demon God of the Ten Thousand Great Rivers? Follow me!"
The Black Bull Demon God carried the Sea-Crossing Purple-Gold Beam, and with his fierce demon energy swirling and surging into the sky, he rushed towards the Heaven-Striking Temple.
The Blue Lion Demon God, the Water Spirit Demon God, and the other four Demon Gods of the One Calamity Three Tribulations realm followed without hesitation.
On the other side, the Cicada-Patterned Ascetic Monk pressed his palms together, and behind him, a golden cicada rose, flapping its wings. Several ascetic monks followed suit.
They also ascended the white jade slide.
All parties were clear that they must take advantage of the delay caused by the terrifyingly powerful Guardian Temple Corpse King to seize the divine weapon, and even...
"Dou Zhan was originally a holy Buddha of our Buddhist sect, and his corpse should be guided back to our Buddhist sect!
