Chapter 738: The Mystery of the Evil Buddha Continent (Final)
Chapter 738: The Mystery of the Evil Buddha Continent (Final)
Thud! Thud! Thud!
With each pulse of the gigantic flesh mountain below, intense tremors echoed through the heavens.
Within a radius of billions of kilometers, every living being that heard the bewitching Buddhist chants clutched their heads and wailed in agony, as blood-colored true mantras condensed deep within their minds.
As these blood mantras gradually took shape, whether it was the flesh lingzhi or the countless members of the Evil Buddha Clan, their bodies would wither and dry up in mere moments. The blood-colored mantras, having consumed all the essence of their flesh, would swiftly return to the core of the super flesh mountain.
In a short time, the central region of the Evil Buddha Continent transformed into a hell on earth.
The endless wails were merely the prelude to this infernal descent.
Above the sky, the Skygale of Tianxu silently observed everything, making no move.
Compared to these malevolent alien races, Song Chi was more concerned with the instigator behind all this.
Boundless blood-colored mantras continuously converged from all directions, surging into the super flesh mountain. Despite the countless amounts of flesh power merging, the flesh lingzhi, which had reached its eighth-stage limit, did not advance to the ninth stage. Instead, its pulsations intensified.
Thanks to the absolute isolation of the warship's hull, the interior of the Mirror Battleship remained unaffected. However, Song Chi, who was remotely controlling everything, could still feel the growing threat.
Without hesitation, the Mirror Battleship's hull tilted slightly downward, and the cannon barrels at the front, now glowing with white light, pointed directly at the flesh mountain below.
Once the energy was fully charged, several beams of light erupted.
Boom! Boom!
After the intense explosions, Song Chi's expression suddenly changed.
Unlike the previous attacks, after the explosive energy dissipated, what caught his eye was not the expected scene of mangled flesh but a circle of blood-colored true mantra shields.
This circle of blood-colored shields enveloped the surface of the super flesh mountain, emitting Buddhist chants. The originally grotesque blood-colored flesh ball now had a sense of solemnity.
Seeing that this initial probing attack had been completely blocked and had no effect, Song Chi immediately issued a second command.
Swoosh—
The Mirror Battleship's hatch opened, and the Asura Emperor and the eighth-stage Star Sea Ape rushed out once again.
Soon, the Asura Emperor, wielding a blood-colored longsword, and the eighth-stage Star Sea Ape, gripping a massive hammer, simultaneously charged toward the target below.
[Asura Time Blade]
[Heaven-Shaking Hammer]
With the terrifying power of the eighth stage, the longsword and the hammer slashed at the eighth-stage limit flesh mountain in quick succession.
To Song Chi's surprise, the blood-colored mantra shield's strength was beyond what he had imagined. It actually withstood the direct attacks from the blood-colored longsword and the massive hammer.
Fortunately, its glow dimmed, and with one more round of attacks, the blood-colored mantra shield would surely shatter.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Before the Asura Emperor and the Star Sea Ape could make their second attack, the flesh mountain within the mantra shield began to change.
Perhaps it had absorbed enough flesh power, and it started to pulse more rapidly. Under the overwhelming Buddhist chants, even the Asura Emperor and the Star Sea Ape, both at the eighth stage, were momentarily affected.
Under the influence of the chants, the two enslaved beings abruptly paused. Even when Song Chi tried to communicate with them telepathically, their struggle only intensified, but they could not fully break free from the enchantment.
At the same time, the flesh mountain, which had been pulsing rapidly, suddenly stopped. The heavenly chants weakened, but this did not make Song Chi any less vigilant; instead, he felt increasingly uneasy.
Crack!
A faint sound suddenly caught his attention.
Song Chi's expression immediately turned grim.
The sound came from the super flesh mountain below. After it stopped pulsing, the layer of flesh on its surface began to crack.
When Song Chi first noticed it, it was just a small crack, but it quickly spread across the entire flesh mountain.
Just before the Asura Emperor and the eighth-stage Star Sea Ape could fully break free from the enchantment, the super flesh mountain was completely torn apart. Seeing the pair of black arms emerging from within the flesh mountain, Song Chi's pupils contracted sharply from several tens of thousands of light-years away.
These black arms forcibly tore through the flesh mountain from the inside. As the figure fully emerged, Song Chi immediately recognized who it was.
The Shi Clan!
A high-ranking member of the Shi Clan who had embraced the path of the Demon Buddha.
At this point, Song Chi had a complete theory about the origin of the Evil Buddha Continent.
If his guess was correct, the Evil Buddha Continent was initially just an ordinary floating continent. Countless millennia ago, a high-ranking member of the Shi Clan accidentally fell here. Over the long ages, this high-ranking Shi Clan member's Demon Buddha Golden Body was slowly consumed and integrated by the floating continent. Leveraging this highly ranked Demon Buddha Golden Body, the Evil Buddha Continent ascended to the seventh stage. Additionally, the floating continent itself was influenced by the inherent Buddhist power of the Demon Buddha Golden Body, giving rise to the unique race of the Evil Buddha Clan.
As for those Flesh Lingzhi Mountains, they are most likely still related to the Demon Buddha Golden Body.
In the Shattered Star Sea, the Shi Clan civilization is divided into the Holy Buddha and Demon Buddha factions. The Holy Buddha faction advocates righteousness and compassion, while the Demon Buddha faction has no taboos.
The path of the Demon Buddha allows for rapid ascension, but the downside is that it is extremely prone to corruption. The notion of one thought leading to demonhood is no exaggeration.
The Shi Clan member who fell on this Floating Continent was clearly a corrupted Demon Buddha. Although the primordial Buddha power within the Demon Buddha Golden Body is vast, it also contains a dense, corrupting and degenerate force. Even if it were to merge with the entire continent, it would still retain its essence.
If that were the only issue, Song Chi wouldn’t have been so flustered.
The key lies in the being that has now emerged from the Flesh Mountain. Judging by the lingering Word Laws surrounding it, this is clearly a genuine member of the Shi Clan, not an Evil Buddha that arose by chance on the Evil Buddha Continent.
"Reincarnation Turnover Buddhism, huh..."
Song Chi’s expression darkened as he realized the cause. If it were just a fallen Shi Clan member, even if they were an eighth-rank limit or ninth-rank, he wouldn’t have been too concerned. However, this is a genuine Shi Clan member who has returned through reincarnation.
Yes... a long-corrupted, extremely bloodthirsty eighth-rank limit Shi Clan member.
As the rulers of the Star Sea, the Shi Clan civilization is no less powerful than the Wizard civilization. They are also renowned for their individual combat prowess, boasting that beneath the Buddha Golden Body, they can crush anything.
The Skygale of Tianxu is strong, but facing an eighth-rank limit Shi Clan member, it’s impossible not to feel pressure.
Before he could think too much, the eyes of the corrupted Shi Clan member, who had just stepped out of the Flesh Mountain, were entirely consumed by darkness. Even though they had just appeared, they already displayed immense hostility towards the Asura Emperor and the Star Sea Ape.
"Come back!"
Just as he was about to summon them back, Song Chi was suddenly startled.
He had instinctively assumed that the eighth-rank limit Shi Clan member’s target would be the two enslaved beings. He never expected that the target had always been him.
Buzz!
A faint spatial fluctuation swept by, and in the next second, the eighth-rank Shi Clan member appeared right in front of the Mirror Battleship in the sky.
Fortunately, Song Chi was well-versed in Spatial Laws and had deep expertise. His reaction was quick, and the moment the eighth-rank Shi Clan member appeared, the Mirror Battleship immediately executed a flash dodge.
"How is this possible!"
But when Song Chi’s gaze refocused on the eighth-rank Shi Clan member, all he saw was disbelief.
It was as if the other party had some form of precognition, and their speed was terrifying. The Mirror Battleship had just finished its flash dodge, and the eighth-rank Shi Clan member was already reappearing beside the ship.
This time, even Song Chi couldn’t react in time. The eighth-rank Shi Clan member’s dark hand pushed forward, and boundless Buddha spell runes condensed above it, forming a giant demonic Buddha phantom. The demonic Buddha’s hand also struck out, and the terrible energy collided with the Mirror Battleship’s energy shield, causing a violent explosion.
Under the immense force, the Mirror Battleship was hurled backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Song Chi signaled the enslaved beings within the Mirror Battleship to activate the [Pantheon Market Projection Token].
On this Evil Buddha Continent, apart from the Song Family, there were no other human forces. Song Chi had no reservations.
Buzz!
Endless Purple Mist Energy began to rapidly converge.
But in the next second, the eighth-rank limit Shi Clan member reappeared, pressing close to the Mirror Battleship. Once again, the demonic Buddha phantom’s hand struck, dispersing the partially formed Pantheon Market Purple Mist Energy.
This directly led to the failure of the Pantheon Market Projection.
In other words, this use of the [Pantheon Market Projection Token] was wasted.
At this moment, Song Chi wasn’t concerned about that. His mind was focused on how to successfully summon the Pantheon Market Projection.
Buzz!
The battleship executed another flash dodge, this time to the maximum distance, disappearing from sight.
But this was of no use.
The moment the Mirror Battleship reappeared from the void, the eighth-rank Shi Clan member was right behind it.
The result remained unchanged, and the second appearance of the Purple Mist Energy was once again dispersed.
At this point, Song Chi was completely certain about his thoughts.
"This can't go on. This must be one of the Six Wisdom Great Abilities of the Shi Clan—Divine Footprint. One of the Star Sea's fastest techniques. Competing in speed with a Shi Clan member who has mastered this ability is like showing off one's saber skills in front of Guan Yu!"
As he thought, Song Chi had another suspicion.
He felt that it might not just be the Divine Footprint; the opponent might also have the Heavenly Eye. Only then could it explain why the opponent could always predict the Skygale of Tianxu's movements in advance, and with the Divine Footprint, prevent the Skygale of Tianxu from even summoning the Projection of the Market of All Heavens.
Harnessing the immense force of the giant Buddha palm, Song Chi controlled the Mirror Battleship to speed away.
However, as he had anticipated, no matter how fast the Mirror Battleship was, even with the boost from two engines, the Eighth-Rank Shi Clan member reappeared before the battleship in the blink of an eye.
But at this moment, Song Chi's eyes flickered, and he immediately activated a prepared component.
Black Hole Evolution Layer—Black Hole Domain!
Instantly, a surge of black hole energy poured out, and a special Black Hole Domain was about to form.
However, this characteristic was not an instant-cast ability, and the formation of the Black Hole Domain required time. Although in past activations, the Black Hole Domain formed very quickly and generally did not encounter any issues, this time was different. The Eighth-Rank Shi Clan member's speed was too fast, and the Black Hole Domain couldn't fully form before being forcibly interrupted.
For a moment, Song Chi felt an urge to curse.
But the habits formed over more than two thousand years made him force himself to calm down.
"Warning, high-intensity external attack detected. Battleship energy shield damaged. Current energy shield value: 62%. Please repair as soon as possible!"
The collision between the blood-colored Buddha light and the Myth Pulse Energy Shield further exacerbated the damage to the energy shield.
Fortunately, this Eighth-Rank Shi Clan member had not transcended the Eighth Rank, and each attack was still manageable for the Ninth-Rank Myth Pulse Energy Shield.
However, it was clear that this was only temporary. If Song Chi continued to find no way to counter, it was only a matter of time before the replicated Myth Pulse Energy Shield overloaded.
He then tried various abilities, including the True Spirit Guardian of the King of Angels, Samadhi Seal - Outer - Time Stop, and Oracle - Chaos Halo (Inner). But the results were the same: either they were directly interrupted or failed to accurately hit the opponent. Even the Oracle - Chaos Halo (Inner), which he activated last, had little effect.
The Chaos Divine Core component had already been enhanced to Level 90, and the Oracle - Chaos Halo (Inner) ability provided significant evasion effects for the battleship. However, while the Mirror Battleship successfully evaded the Eighth-Rank Shi Clan's attacks, the Purple Mist Energy condensed above the battleship could not be avoided and was still forcibly dispersed.
After multiple attempts, he still failed to summon the Projection of the Market of All Heavens, and several of the silver oddities in his possession were consumed, causing Song Chi to feel a growing sense of frustration.
Originally, he was unwilling to activate the Beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements ability, as its cooldown time was a thousand years, even reduced to two hundred years. The cooldown was too long.
But he had no choice now.
The effect of an instant-cast ability was different. After Song Chi made up his mind, the Mirror Battleship suddenly vanished from the sky. Even with the Eighth-Rank Shi Clan's incredible speed, it could not stop him.
A few seconds later, when the Mirror Battleship reappeared, a fully formed Purple Mist Energy cloud had condensed above it.
The terrifying near-Ninth-Rank power radiated out, and the Eighth-Rank Shi Clan member immediately sensed the danger. As an ancient sovereign who had returned through reincarnation, he was decisive.
Perceiving the lethal threat from the Projection of the Market of All Heavens, his Divine Footprint ability activated again, but this time it was not to pursue the Mirror Battleship. Instead, he chose to flee.
He had spent hundreds of thousands of years to achieve this reincarnation, and now, sensing a fatal threat again, he was unwilling to take the risk.
However, Song Chi was not about to let him off so easily. At this moment, a component on the battleship had already been activated.
