Chapter 737: The Mystery of the Evil Buddha Continent
On the Evil Buddha Continent, in the Mingkong Temple.
As the undisputed leader among the temples in the Mingkong Realm, the Mingkong Temple once boasted more than five Bodhisattva-level Evil Buddhas and over thirty ordinary Arhats, exerting a powerful influence over the entire realm.
However, those days are long gone. The true Mingkong Temple is no longer what it used to be.
While it still appears to the other temples as the undisputed master of the Mingkong Realm, its internal structure has been thoroughly infiltrated.
On this day, deep within a secret chamber beneath the Mingkong Temple, several figures gathered.
"Tell me, do your family elders have any thoughts on this?"
"John, are you sure the Evil Buddha Continent will undergo a major change soon?"
"While I can't be 100% certain, the probability is very high. Recently, the mutual devouring of the Mushroom Flesh Mountains across the continent has significantly intensified, and you've all seen this for yourselves. Additionally, I have a special ability to predict such events. Trust me, if we don't take action soon, the Evil Buddha Continent will soon slip completely out of our control!"
"It's not that we don't believe you, but with the Civilization War just ending, all the families are still digesting the spoils of war. Relying on intuition alone is really hard to convince our ancestors."
Ding, ding, ding!
As the group in the chamber discussed, John suddenly received a communication.
"Lord John, urgent news: an unknown Annihilator Ship has appeared in the Hundred Arms Domain!"
After reading the message, John's eyes widened. Instead of immediately asking for more details, he looked up and scanned the other figures in the chamber.
Most of those present also came from Immortal Clans and had strong intelligence networks. In this short time, they had also received the same news.
Seeing John's gaze, they all shook their heads.
"Don't look at me. My family's ancestor is still in the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Star System. It can't be our ancestor."
...
The forces behind these individuals all hailed from the Tianfeng and Tiandisk Star Systems, under the jurisdiction of the Yao Han Kingdom and the Violet Kingdom, respectively.
As a direct descendant of the Violet Kingdom's royal family, John held one of the highest statuses among the group. Seeing his reaction, the others quickly offered explanations.
"If it's not our family ancestors, then could it be...?"
Suddenly, John's gaze shifted to the middle-aged Captain on his left.
This man was named Liu Yu, a member of the Liu royal family of the Yao Han Kingdom. Though his branch of the Liu family had long been in decline, Liu Yu himself was exceptionally talented, having awakened with a Red Spark Seed and now firmly established as a Veteran Fearless Captain, holding a high status among the group.
Meeting John's gaze, Liu Yu nodded slowly.
"It seems we're on the same page. If our guess is correct, it's likely the Dragon Spine Song Family's Annihilator Ship."
The mention of the Dragon Spine Song Family caused a ripple of shock among the group.
As elite members of their respective Immortal Clans, they were well aware of the Dragon Spine Song Family's rising prominence.
Not only had the Song Family separated from the Tiandisk Star System, but they had also been active on the Evil Buddha Continent for thousands of years.
Considering this, the group became increasingly convinced of John and Liu Yu's speculation, and they couldn't help but recall the fact that the Song Family now had four Annihilator Ship Captains.
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Notify our families."
...
In the sky above the Evil Buddha Continent, over the Hundred Arms Domain, a series of cannon blasts echoed as the Tianxu Cangqiong, previously concealed by the Three Realms Five Elements Token, emerged from its cover.
Song Chi was fully aware that his appearance would draw the attention of the other Immortal Clans hidden on the Evil Buddha Continent, but he was not concerned.
Neither the Yao Han Kingdom nor the Violet Kingdom posed a significant threat to him anymore.
More importantly, the Evil Buddha Continent was outside the territory of the Ember Human Civilization, which only increased the Tianxu Cangqiong's deterrent power. He was confident that even if all the Annihilator Ship Captains from the two kingdoms were present, they would only voice their protests and dare not engage him in combat.
Throughout the Civilization War, the Tianxu Cangqiong had made a significant impact, whether it was the direct annihilation of an Eighth Rank unit or the joint effort with other Annihilator Ships to kill a Ninth Rank Serpent Demon. These events were well-known.
As long as the Annihilator Ship Captains from the Yao Han Kingdom and the Violet Kingdom weren't foolish, they wouldn't dare to initiate an attack on him.
A violent explosion erupted on the ground below, sending a terrifying energy shockwave that quickly obscured the towering blood-red flesh mountain. The Fifth and Sixth Rank Evil Buddhas guarding the area chanted their mantras, gathering a vast amount of true law principles around them.
Before they could direct their fury at the Tianxu Cangqiong, the energy shockwave had already annihilated them.
Tianxu Cangqiong's firepower, whether from the Infinite Void Immortal Quantum Annihilator, the Blood Spear, the Antimatter Annihilation Cannon, or the Purple Dawn Divine Thunder Cannon, now far exceeded the power of a seventh-rank entity. How could ordinary fifth or sixth-rank entities possibly resist such force?
Even the fifth and sixth-rank Evil Buddhas controlled by the Mushroom Flesh Mountains, despite being bolstered by the will of the Evil Buddha Continent, could not change the outcome.
Once the explosive force dissipated, Song Chi clearly saw the situation at the point of impact.
This concentrated attack had left the seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain below in a state of partial destruction. Even from a great distance, Song Chi could make out the exposed Flesh Mushroom within the seventh-rank mountain.
Through the Eye of Truth, he confirmed that the seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain below was no longer a threat. Tianxu Cangqiong quickly descended.
As it approached the ground, powerful tractor beams shot out from the warship, extracting the seventh-rank Flesh Mushroom from the shattered mountain.
With Song Chi's active control, this extraction process was completed swiftly.
With that done, he wasted no time and directed Tianxu Cangqiong to another seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain.
These Mushroom Flesh Mountains on the Evil Buddha Continent had the ability to control Evil Buddhas. A seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain could control a seventh-rank Evil Buddha, turning these formidable beings into powerful enforcers.
However, the number of seventh-rank Evil Buddhas on the Evil Buddha Continent was extremely limited. Currently, there were only three in total, and two of them were not yet under control.
This meant that only one seventh-rank Evil Buddha was truly under the control of the Mushroom Flesh Mountains, providing Song Chi with an excellent opportunity.
However, the response from the mutated and fallen beings on the Evil Buddha Continent was far quicker than expected. Even before the Captains of the Annihilator Ships from the other two kingdoms arrived, these mutated beings had already taken action.
Or rather, the will of the Floating Continent of the Evil Buddha Continent had driven them to act.
As Tianxu Cangqiong reached the second seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain, it was met with an attack from a seventh-rank Evil Buddha before it could even strike.
The dark Evil Buddha Golden Body expanded infinitely, empowered by the will of the Floating Continent, displaying a combat strength that momentarily reached the eighth rank. The pressure of this eighth-rank presence enveloped a vast expanse of the sky.
Additionally, the oppressive force of the will of the Floating Continent was overwhelming, making Song Chi feel as if he were facing the will of an ordinary eighth-rank Floating Continent.
In this situation, if it were an ordinary Annihilator Ship, the pressure would have already reached its limit. However, for Tianxu Cangqiong, this was already a familiar scenario.
Song Chi pondered for a moment and decided not to summon any mirror warships.
Although the Evil Buddha Continent felt indeed peculiar and very different from an ordinary seventh-rank Floating Continent, he had other means at his disposal.
Whoosh—
The airlock opened, and two figures rapidly emerged from the ship.
Once outside, the two figures rapidly expanded in size.
One kilometer
Ten kilometers
One hundred kilometers
One million kilometers
In an instant, they transformed into two colossal beings, each over a million kilometers tall.
One of them had bright red skin and wielded a blood-red long knife. It was none other than the Eighth-Rank Asura Emperor whom Song Chi had revived using a "Nine Lives Chess" token.
The second figure was a seventh-rank Star Sea Ape.
Initially, Song Chi had assisted the Ember Flame Civilization's top team in battling the Star Sea Ape civilization's fleet alongside the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon civilization. Although he couldn't openly summon the Market of All Heavens projection for assistance, the restored Asura Emperor and the infinite resurrection of the mirror warships allowed him to successfully kill several seventh-rank Star Sea Apes and also enslave two more.
Now, apart from the one he carried with him, the other seventh-rank Star Sea Ape was left on the Dragon Spine Continent, serving as a strong safeguard for its security for a long time to come.
With the appearance of these two seventh-rank enslaved beings, the outcome was no longer in doubt.
The seventh-rank Evil Buddha was easily obliterated.
The Evil Buddha race, known for their mastery of the language of magic, was immune to enslavement techniques and related secret arts. Otherwise, Song Chi would have certainly attempted to enslave it.
Only after Song Chi had taken all the flesh mushrooms from the second seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain did a few Annihilator Ships slowly appear in the sky above the Evil Buddha Continent.
Upon receiving reports from their subordinates, the ancient ancestors of the immortal clans from both kingdoms rushed to the scene.
Even though all parties had gained something from this Civilization War, a seventh-rank Floating Continent was still a significant asset that they couldn’t ignore, especially since the Evil Buddha Continent was no ordinary seventh-rank Floating Continent.
However, when the captains of the Annihilator Ships saw the two eighth-rank enslaved creatures beside Tianxu Cangqiong, they all chose to remain silent, despite their urgent arrival.
Extraterrestrial Domain
Eighth-Rank Peak Asura Emperor
Eighth-Rank Star Sea Ape
Tianxu Cangqiong, with his eighth-rank combat power
All of this clearly indicated that Song Chi had the ability to keep them all here forever.
They were all veteran captains who had lived for over ten thousand years and had the judgment to understand this.
In the end, the captains of the Annihilator Ships from both kingdoms couldn’t stop Song Chi. They could only watch as he continued to the third and fourth seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountains.
A few hours later, the fourth seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain crumbled under the terrifying firepower of Tianxu Cangqiong. Before Song Chi could begin harvesting the numerous flesh mushrooms, his expression changed.
The moment the fourth seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain collapsed, the Eye of Truth suddenly displayed a new radar map.
On this map, a glaring red dot appeared. As Song Chi focused, detailed information about this red dot quickly appeared before his eyes.
Name: Abnormal Life Energy Coordinate Point
Rank: Early Eighth-Rank
Status: Rapidly Ascending
Estimated Final Energy Threshold: Peak Eighth-Rank
Danger Assessment: High
...
This was all the information the Eye of Truth provided. After reading it, Song Chi’s thoughts raced.
First, it was clear that this sudden appearance of abnormal life energy was not normal.
It was common knowledge in the Star Sea that lifeforms on a Floating Continent could never surpass the continent's own rank limit without external assistance, and even the most exceptionally gifted beings, with their remarkable insights or powerful bloodline potential, could only exceed the Floating Continent's rank by half a step at most.
It was impossible for them to directly surge from the seventh rank to the peak eighth rank as was happening now.
Moreover, the abnormal life energy point on the radar was precisely where the fifth seventh-rank Mushroom Flesh Mountain had been detected earlier.
With this in mind, Song Chi had to speculate that this sudden change was likely related to the initial anomaly on the Evil Buddha Continent.
However, to allow a seventh-rank entity to inflate directly to the peak eighth rank was no ordinary feat.
Thinking this, Song Chi summoned the Mirror Warship.
With two eighth-rank enslaved creatures and the already formidable Tianxu Cangqiong, he wasn’t afraid of peak eighth-rank combat power. However, to be safe, he decided to send the Mirror Warship instead.
As the saying goes, caution ensures a long journey.
About a few minutes after the Eye of Truth gave the warning, the Annihilator Ships from the Yao Han and Violet Kingdoms also detected the terrifying life energy fluctuation. Already intimidated by Song Chi’s threat and not daring to speak, they quickly reacted to this new development.
At their call, the clansmen of the immortal families stationed on the Evil Buddha Continent left one after another, claiming that an eighth-rank lifeform was beyond their capabilities to handle.
Song Chi, of course, did not try to retain them. Soon, only a few Song Family members remained on the Evil Buddha Continent.
Without delay, the Mirror Warship’s engines roared, and it set off with the two eighth-rank enslaved creatures, heading straight for the source of the life energy that had surged to peak eighth rank.
Song Chi wanted to see what the Evil Buddha Continent was hiding.
Traveling at full speed, the trio didn’t take long to reach the source of the life energy.
High above, the Mirror Warship hovered.
Through the remote view, Song Chi saw the entity responsible for all the anomalies below.
A massive, pulsating flesh mountain.
