Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1916: Chapter 1914: Where the Buddhist Emperor Once Stood

Flying Demon Spider!

It is the descendant of the Ancient Alien Race’s Heavenly Demon Spider, a species born carrying immense poison, extremely formidable. Once infected with this poison, it almost certainly results in death. In the Ancient Times, a powerful being in the Saint Realm was struck by the poison liquid of a Heavenly Demon Spider strongman, perishing instantly, undeniably powerful!

What Ye Tianchen and Wuji Taoist didn’t anticipate was that after Ye Tianchen slayed this giant Flying Demon Spider with one sword, many smaller Flying Demon Spiders emerged from its body. These smaller spiders lacked formidable strength, but the poison they carried must not be touched at all. Even a slight contamination would lead to a total annihilation of one’s being; even Ye Tianchen with his formidable physical body power dared not touch them!

During the escape, Wuji Taoist led Ye Tianchen to a dilapidated earth temple. The temple was small, surrounded by half-meter-high walls, most of which had collapsed. What kind of hiding place is this? Anything could waltz right in; could it truly evade these tiny, barely visible Flying Demon Spiders?

However, just as Ye Tianchen was puzzled, countless Flying Demon Spiders stopped outside the broken walls of the temple. They kept hovering, wanting to rush inside, yet seemed hesitant. This scene astonished Ye Tianchen. Why did these spiders not dare to enter? He surveyed the surroundings, seeing only remnants and ruins, with no other living creatures. Why?

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

Finally, the vast swarm of Flying Demon Spiders did not dare to rush into the dilapidated temple. After hovering briefly, they disappeared into the desert, giving Ye Tianchen and Wuji Taoist a sigh of relief. If these Spiders were to swarm now, their sheer number, speed, and proximity would make dodging nearly impossible, almost certainly leading to death, perilously dangerous!

”They really left? Why?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask himself.

”Seems our luck is pretty good; we arrived here just in time. I didn’t guess wrong; something here few creatures dare touch!” Wuji Taoist also sighed in relief.

”Really? You’re just trying your luck here too?” Ye Tianchen felt frustrated, looking at Wuji Taoist and asked.

Wuji Taoist glanced at Ye Tianchen, frowned, and said, ”How was I supposed to know we’d encounter Flying Demon Spiders? It’s my first time facing such a situation too. In times of crisis, I thought this place might help us survive; I wasn’t absolutely sure. It’s my first time here too!”

”Haha, escaping disaster is good enough!” Ye Tianchen chuckled and said.

It was clear Wuji Taoist was displeased, even feeling unlucky being with Ye Tianchen. Before meeting him, whether coming here with her master or alone, she was always safe. But after meeting Ye Tianchen, they faced this peril, almost annihilated. Anyone in her position would feel disgruntled!

”Let’s go. We should check inside, but be careful not to touch anything!” Wuji Taoist turned and glanced at the dilapidated temple.

Ye Tianchen nodded, looking at the tiny temple with less than twenty square meters of space, surrounded by ruins. Especially here, with only one remaining door, what kind of magic power does this place possess that even the fearlessly fierce Flying Demon Spiders decided to retreat? This truly puzzled Ye Tianchen!

Squeak!

Wuji Taoist pushed open the remaining door of the temple, and dust blew towards them. Ye Tianchen and Wuji Taoist entered together and upon seeing the inside were both puzzled.

Inside the temple, there was no god statue but a stone table and a few stone stools. Beside them were two cushions. This scene was bewildering and surprising. Why is it like this?

Normally, temples anywhere would have offered god statues. Even if in disrepair, such arrangements should be present, or why would there be a temple at all? Ye Tianchen had already surveyed the surroundings; it was a boundless desert. Who built a temple here?

”Just as Master told me before, this is a worthwhile place to visit and a site worth comprehending the Magic Laws!” Wuji Taoist murmured to herself.

”Do you know what kind of place this is?” Ye Tianchen looked at the Wuji Taoist and couldn’t help but ask.

”Hmm, this is a very sacred place, a place where no one dares to act rashly!” Wuji Taoist nodded and said.

”Then what kind of place is this exactly?” Ye Tianchen asked even more curiously.

”A place where a Buddhist Emperor once stayed!” Wuji Taoist said with a very reverent look.

”What? This is a place where the Buddhist Emperor once stayed? This...” Ye Tianchen looked at the dilapidated surroundings, somewhat disbelievingly asked.

”There are legends here; anyway, we’re not in a hurry to leave now. Perhaps those Flying Sky Demon Spiders are still waiting outside for us. Let me tell you about it!” Wuji Taoist said with a smile.

The Buddhist Emperor is the most mysterious Great Emperor in the Martial Arts World. No one knows where he came from or when he began his cultivation. The exact time and place of the Buddhist Sect’s emergence are unknown, but from the moment the Buddhist legacy was born, it swiftly swept through the Martial Arts World, enduring for ages. Millions of years have passed, birthing countless strong individuals, and some extraordinarily powerful Emperor Realm figures, but none have accomplished what the Buddhist Emperor did: passing down a legacy that truly endures. Such power is indeed astounding!

It is precisely because of this that the mystique of the Buddhist Emperor takes people’s breath away. In this Martial Arts World, the Buddhist legacy is extremely mysterious and terrifying, as it is the only enduring legacy that hasn’t been discontinued in this lifetime. Yet what leaves many descendants shocked and puzzled is that the Buddhist Emperor, unlike other Supreme Strong figures, hasn’t left behind many historical monumental battles, nor has he left many legends. Not even a single soul knows where the Buddhist Emperor has appeared; it is all so inexplicably enigmatic!

Many in later generations have pursued the Buddhist Emperor’s footsteps, especially those who believe in the Buddhist Sect and cultivate Buddhist Law, and they regard the Buddhist Emperor as their deity. But where is this person? Where has he left his legacy? Where has he appeared? No one knows!

”I am quite curious about it, so please, tell me about it!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Hmm!” Wuji Taoist nodded and began recounting the connection between the Buddhist Emperor and this land temple.

It turned out that when the Buddhist Emperor hadn’t yet become an Emperor Realm figure, nor realized the most profound Buddhist Law, he was also an ascetic monk. Once, the Buddhist Emperor, accompanied by a disciple, entered this desert. They did not use Qi Manipulation Flight; they proceeded on foot. In the words of the Buddhist Emperor, to truly experience this world, one must be grounded!

Yet, this desert was vast and boundless, not to mention walking through it; even flying would take an unknown amount of time to traverse. To walk step by step like the Buddhist Emperor with his disciple—how long will it take?

After an unspecified amount of time walking, the Buddhist Emperor’s disciple finally couldn’t continue and collapsed in the desert. The Buddhist Emperor glanced at him and gazed at the sky, saying: ”Wouldn’t a temple manifest? I wish!”

As soon as the words fell, a temple indeed rose from the ground. The Buddhist Emperor smiled, helped his disciple inside the temple to rest, and he himself sat in meditation on a cushion. When the disciple awoke, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise:

”Master, why is there a temple here? I remember it was clearly a desert!”

”I don’t know either, I haven’t fully understood yet. Perhaps this is the power of my wish. The inner power of a person is immense, it’s infinite. As long as you believe, it will appear!” The Buddhist Emperor said with a smile.

When the Buddhist Emperor later brought his disciple inside again, this temple endured, having survived countless ages without being destroyed and still existing here. Those who’ve visited say there’s a strong telekinesis presence here, perhaps it is the power of the Buddhist Emperor’s wish that keeps this place untouched, never decaying.

”So miraculous, only because the Buddhist Emperor once stayed here, such a miraculous power exists, and the reason we just escaped disaster, and those Flying Sky Demon Spiders dare not enter is because they’ve sensed the power of the Buddhist Emperor’s wish left behind?” Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.
