“The Karmic Fire Red Lotus burns away karmic sin, transforming it into karmic flame. It’s a perfect combination of offense and defense.

The World-Purifying White Lotus can clear the mind and stabilize the spirit. Its unique efficacy affects the spiritual aspect. At the very root of all things, it possesses the primordial power to purify everything…

As for the Golden Lotus of Merit, it’s untouched by karmic sin and can even suppress fate itself…”

Listening to Anzuiel’s explanation, the corners of Yu Zi Yu’s lips lifted ever so slightly.

“Suppress fate… So, these Golden Lotuses hold such wondrous use…”

“Of course. Otherwise, how do you think the Buddhist Sect has been able to endure to this day? Without such a supreme treasure to suppress their fate, their Dao-lineage would have been erased by the river of time long ago.” Saying so, Anzuiel’s tone changed as he continued with a chuckle, “It’s just a pity… these are only Seven-Petaled Golden Lotuses of Merit. Had they been Eight or Nine-Petaled or even the legendary Ten or Eleven-Petaled, you would have struck fortune beyond measure.”

“One mustn’t be too greedy. Three Seven-Petaled Golden Lotuses are already more than enough.” Yu Zi Yu stated with a smile. He was quite satisfied with the current harvest.

He was not a man of endless greed. And, when he grew stronger, he could always seize more. After all, as the Hegemon of the Void Clan, he had nothing to fear.

[I must admit, this title of Void Hegemon is proving to be quite useful. In such a short span, I’ve already plundered so many resources. As expected… robbery is the fastest way to amass fortune. More importantly, it’s been done in broad daylight, all in the name of conquest. Even if the Myriad Races know, there is nothing they can do. In fact, they have to worry about the annihilation of their Sects or Clans.]

Yu Zi Yu cast his gaze upon the other members of Original Sins.

He did not ask much of them, only two things: never betray him… and during the invasion of the Myriad Races of the cosmos, plunder as much as possible.

And now, Avril had delivered it.

Three Golden Lotuses of Merit were already enough to satisfy Yu Zi Yu. As for other gains, she would tally them later and present them together.

[Now, what about the others?] Sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, Zi Lian’s lips curled into a grin as he stepped up, “Boss… here’s the treasure I found…”

As he spoke, Zi Lian presented several golden beads.

“This is?”

Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed in surprise. He promptly raised his hand, drawing the beads into his grasp.

They were Sariras, priceless relics of the Buddhist Sect.

According to the legends, they were condensed after the passing of Buddhist Experts.

However, that was only a misconception.

True Sarira were a form of inheritance. Condensed from a cultivator’s own cultivation and insights, left behind for future Disciples.

Thus, one could well imagine how precious they were within the Buddhist Sect.

And these three Sariras had been left by none other than the so-called Ageless Monk, the Dragon Tamer Arhat, and another unnamed Buddhist powerhouse. They were meant to guide their Successors.

However, who could have imagined that the Buddhist Sect would be invaded one day, and even these Sariras would be plundered in one fell swoop?

When they find out that their Sariras had been stolen, they would likely be so furious that smoke would be rising from their nostrils.

After all, these three Sariras were the culmination of ten years of painstaking cultivation from their creators.

“I am quite satisfied with this gift…” With a soft laugh, Yu Zi Yu pocketed the three Sariras.

They were the inheritance of three Tier-6 Overlords. If used well, raising three Tier-5s would not be a problem. And if such legacies fell into the hands of a true Buddhist prodigy, they might even comprehend beyond their limits and step into Tier-6.

Thus, Yu Zi Yu was pleased. After all, among the various schools of inheritance, each had its strengths. If he could extract each essence and discard the dross, it would benefit him as well.

Of course, such inheritances could only be taken as reference.

They were but the legacies of a few Tier-6s, cultivators who were far below his own level. At most, Yu Zi Yu would study them briefly, to compare and verify his own cultivation path.

…

However, just as Yu Zi Yu and the Original Sins were cataloguing their spoils, the Buddhist Sect, the land of pure cultivation, suddenly erupted with a furious roar…

“Voooooiiid…!” The wrathful bellow split the skies, shaking the entire Buddha Realm.

Looking toward the source, one could see the Palm Buddha, the Lord of the Buddha Realm, howling toward the Heavens, his hair bristling with rage.

However, who could blame him?

The Buddhist Sect, devastated by the Void Clan’s invasion, had not only suffered grievous losses but also lost countless treasured relics, including a dozen Six-Petaled Golden Lotuses of Merit, and even three Seven-Petaled Golden Lotuses of Merit.

And that was not all…relics of inheritance: Sarira, the Sacred Water of Purification…priceless treasures that were the very foundation of the Buddhist Sect were lost.

These were resources for Buddhist powerhouses to break into Tier-6, even to attempt Tier-7.

Without them… who knows how many Hegemons the Buddhist Sect may have lost?

Thus… how could the Lord of the Buddha Realm not be driven to madness, not rage to the point of frenzy?

“Void… Void… We shall never rest until you are destroyed!” However, as he spoke, his fury strangely melted into calm, as an unsettling smile presented itself upon his lips.

Perhaps this was what it meant by ‘laughing in anger.’

Soon afterward, a voice suddenly reverberated through the Buddha Realm, “Get ready…in due time, I’ll personally pay the Demon Court a visit…”

“Yes…” In unison, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and countless Buddhist powerhouses responded, their eyes flickering uncontrollably with anticipation and dread.

By the looks of it, the Palm Buddha had truly made up his mind.

And perhaps rightly so.

The Void Clan had already struck at their very doorstep. If he still did not act, the Buddhist Sect would become the laughingstock of the Myriad Races.

Currently, in the entire universe, the only one who could truly keep the Void Hegemon in check was none other than the Supreme Lord of the Demon Court.

After all, the Lord of the Buddha Realm had already proven it with cold, hard fact: Even while wielding two Imperial Artifacts, he failed to subdue the Void Hegemon.
