Chapter 1824: Chapter 1822: [Real or Fake, Just Slay First]

[Asking for rewards, I won’t嫌弃 however much or little—just having some is fine, to keep up appearances!]

Buddha!

Buddhist Emperor!

Truly incomparably mysterious and powerful, forever standing at a height that makes people look up in awe. The Buddhist Sect’s lineage stretches from ancient times until now, Immortal through billions of years. Those who can achieve such a thing are truly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. If the Buddhist Emperor claims first place, no one dares claim second!

From the moment the Martial Arts World was born, the Ancient Alien Race appeared within this world, ruling the entire universe and the Heavenly Vault, born under Heaven’s favor, possessed of powers that reach through heaven and earth. After that came the Demon Clan, also like the Ancient Alien Race, innately powerful. It was only because the Ancient Alien Race was the first to be born in this Martial Arts World, ruling the cosmos for too long, that even though the Demon Clan was strong, they merely obtained a sliver of living space. In the entire Martial Arts World, most of the territory still belonged to the Ancient Alien Race; almost no other Species could resist.

In the end, the Martial Arts World gave birth to the Human Clan. The Human Clan was weak, not only bereft of Heaven’s favor, but even their very physique was far inferior to the Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan. This made survival for the Human Clan incomparably difficult: treated as food by the Ancient Alien Race, as slaves by the Demon Clan, almost driven to the brink of extinction. What kind of situation was that? What kind of scene was that? It is truly unbearable to imagine or look back upon. For the Human Clan, that is a past they are unwilling to recall!

Yet after the birth of the Human Clan, the ancestors of the Human Clan strove generation after generation, generation after generation refusing to abandon or give up. The inheritance was passed down; one generation died, the next continued. In this way the Human Clan survived in the cracks for far, far too long. No one knows how many predecessors shed blood and lost their lives to grope out some Cultivation Method suitable for the Human Clan, allowing the Human Clan to survive step by step, so as not to be exterminated.

The birth of the Buddhist Sect, the birth of Buddhism, and its wide dissemination in the Martial Arts World, its flourishing in the Martial Arts World, began from the moment the Human Clan secured a foothold in this Martial Arts World. Ever since the Buddhist Sect’s lineage appeared within the Martial Arts World, it very quickly spread throughout the entire Martial Arts World, shocking all other lineages, sects, and even Species. No one knows how many times these other powerful lineages, and even Species, sought to uproot the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance and utterly erase it. In this process, the Great Emperor who founded the Buddhist Sect’s lineage went through unknown hardships, spreading the Buddhist teachings while constantly being hunted down. Only when he became the Buddhist Emperor and stepped into the Emperor Realm did this situation gradually calm down. The might of an Emperor cannot be touched; to walk that step into the Emperor Realm is truly not something the mediocre can do. The Emperor Realm is a境界 where all Species and all Cultivation Methods, by different paths, arrive at the same destination. Once one has reached that realm, be they of the Ancient Alien Race or the Demon Clan, no one dares take such a person lightly, no one dares easily offend!

From its very birth, the Buddhist Sect’s lineage has stretched across billions of years. Whether in the Martial Arts World or in the Mortal World, it has spread into every corner of the planetary civilizations of the entire Martial Arts World. This is what is truly terrifying about the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance, what truly makes people feel it is inconceivable. What kind of inheritance is the Buddhist Sect’s lineage, in the end? Why can it remain Immortal for billions of years? It is something worth deep thought and exploration.

Buzz!

A streak of Golden Light swept toward Ye Tianchen and enveloped him. It was not that its killing intent was particularly dense, yet it carried a Power of Conversion. Ye Tianchen snapped back to himself, and immediately burned his Physical Body Power to block it, not allowing this Power of Conversion to come near!

Only now did Ye Tianchen awaken from his memories of the rumors about the Buddhist Sect. Looking at this powerful Power of Conversion, he could not help but furrow his brows. The Cultivation Treasure he had obtained was the Buddhist Sect’s ”Yijin Jing.” As for the Buddhist Sect’s lineage, Buddhist Holy Skills, and Buddhist Scriptures, he had some degree of understanding. This Power of Conversion was truly no simple thing. Ye Tianchen had once wanted to cultivate it, but had failed several times. Although he had not successfully cultivated such a Power of Conversion, he understood it very well. If he were truly struck by this Power of Conversion, it could indeed be extremely dangerous!

The Buddhist Sect, with its vow to ferry all living beings and its compassion to save the world, spread widely through the Martial Arts World. It was precisely because of this that the Buddhist Sect’s lineage could remain Immortal for billions of years, taking root and sprouting in every Star Domain, every planet, every different civilization within the Martial Arts World!

However, from what Ye Tianchen learned in the ”Yijin Jing” about the Buddhist Sect’s Power of Conversion, he discovered that this sort of miraculous Divine Skill was not only able to make those in suffering put down the knots in their hearts, but could also make powerful enemies submit with bound hands, their Mental Realm bewitched. That is to say, their entire thought and thinking were brainwashed. This was exceedingly terrifying. If a person’s thoughts and thinking are brainwashed, then that person’s entire life will be enslaved by others, at others’ mercy, equivalent to having no mind or ideas of their own. Whatever others say, whatever orders they give, he will do. Just imagining such a scene is horrifying!

Therefore, when this Power of Conversion swept down to envelop Ye Tianchen, he burned his Physical Body Power to block it. Everything here was bizarre; the scene made Ye Tianchen feel both illusory and real. Even he could not distinguish true from false, and was exceedingly puzzled. He absolutely had to be cautious and careful.

”Impudent, the Buddha is converting you, and you still dare resist?” At this moment, a Buddha statue at the side stared at Ye Tianchen with great majesty and shouted.

”Hmph, the Buddha is converting me? Since when does the Buddhist Sect’s method of ferrying people include such forced conversion? Truly ridiculous!” Ye Tianchen gave a cold, disdainful snort and said.

”You thing that knows not the height of Heaven and the depth of Earth, this is a fortune bestowed upon you by the Buddha. What countless people seek all their lives and cannot obtain, you do not know to cherish. You deserve death!” Another Buddha statue also let out a roar filled with incomparable majesty.

Ye Tianchen gave a cold laugh, the power in his entire physical body growing even stronger. Step by step he walked toward the central Buddha statue of the Buddha himself, speaking as he walked: ”The Buddha descends to the world to save people, the Buddhist Sect’s lineage is Immortal, and has never relied on such forced conversion and killing as its primary tools. From what I see, all the gods and Buddhas filling this sky are just hypocrites in righteous robes, a pack of bandits!”

”Impudent!”

”Reckless!”

”An ant who knows not the profundity of the Buddhist Law!”

”Fail to grasp the true meaning within, and you will forever be an ant!”

”Let’s show him what the Buddhist Holy Skills really are!”

”Let them see what the truly Immortal inheritance of the Buddhist Sect is.”

Om!

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

Swish!

Hua!

Ten terrifying forces erupted in succession, blasting toward him and making Ye Tianchen can’t help but frown. This was the ten Disciples of the Buddha in this hall making their move. Ye Tianchen could tell that the scene here, the arrangement here, was exactly the Buddha and the ten Disciples at his side. However, this was of course not real, just a dream, just a dream that looked incomparably realistic. If someone with slightly weaker will came here, they would be bewitched, might even kneel and kowtow, and then they would be at the mercy of others like a fish on the chopping block.

”It’s nothing but a manifested dream, and even if it were real, I, Ye Tianchen, would not fear it!” Ye Tianchen said coldly, blasting out fist light!

Bang-dong!

With a single Overlord Fist from Ye Tianchen blasting out, the entire palace trembled on the spot, even the Buddha statue sitting in the very center paused for a moment, then stretched out a huge hand and blocked the force of Ye Tianchen’s punch!

”Ant, you know not the profundity of the Buddhist Law, yet you offend me. You must be annihilated!” the fake Buddha said with great majesty.

”Hmph, even a fake monk wants to trick me? Even if you were real, you have no right to decide my life and death!” Ye Tianchen said with great domineering air.

At this moment, the ten Buddha statues around the hall all suddenly stood up, each holding a Treasure, looking vicious and ferocious—there was not the slightest trace of the compassion a person of the Buddhist Sect should have. All of them looked as if they wanted to tear Ye Tianchen into ten thousand pieces, while Ye Tianchen only laughed and said, ”You want to use this to intimidate me? Too bad it’s useless!”

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen waved his right hand, and immediately a Divine Sword appeared in his hand. This sword was not the Taie Sword, but the Cheng Ying Sword Ye Tianchen had obtained from Elder Bai Yi. After obtaining this sword, Ye Tianchen hadn’t had much time to refine it and study it, but now he intended to wield this sword and use it for a trial!

Ye Tianchen understood very clearly that this was only a dream. Although the Buddha in this palace and the ten Disciples at his side were so lifelike and vivid, fake was fake. He would not let such a scene disturb his Divine. If he wanted these scenes that were both real and illusory to vanish, he had to completely shatter them—there was no other way.

Whoosh!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen turned into a streak of Golden Light, his speed reaching the extreme. He didn’t waste words; his movements were extremely fast, and the sword light in his hand kept slashing out. One Buddha statue after another was beheaded, their heads chopped off directly by Ye Tianchen. The ten Disciples at the Buddha’s side were very soon wiped out completely by Ye Tianchen. Of course, none of these were real—they were all just an Illusion Realm. If they had truly been the ten Disciples at the Buddha’s side, then no one knew how powerful these people would be. No one would dare to underestimate these ten. One had to know that the Buddhist Emperor was unfathomably mysterious; since ancient times, no one had discovered his true face or learned the Immortal secret of his Buddhist inheritance. How could the ten Disciples under the Buddhist Emperor be ordinary people? Even thinking with your toes, you’d know that was impossible!

In just a short moment, Ye Tianchen had already chopped off the heads of the ten Buddha statues in this palace, leaving only the Buddha statue at the center of the hall. Ye Tianchen knew these statues were not his true opponents. They were nothing more than a kind of spiritual power, and what he was unleashing was also spiritual power. However, one must absolutely not underestimate this kind of spiritual power. Once you lose yourself even slightly, the consequence would be complete annihilation of body and spirit...
