Supreme Sword God

Chapter 717 716: Buddhist Relics, Waiting for the Right Moment

The hollow in the middle of the Heaven and Earth Wheel was like an abyss.

Ye Chenʼs figure plummeted rapidly, the sound of whistling wind echoing in his ears.

He did not immediately activate his Eternal Golden Body, as it only lasted for three seconds, and it was not yet time for him to reach his limit.

A moment later, Ye Chen could already see Feng Kuangʼs figure.

All around Feng Kuang were variously sized gears.

These gears kept turning, and this was the source of power for the rotation of the Heaven and Earth Wheel.

Besides the gears, there was a dense mass of blood fiendish energy, like a ferocious beast constantly pouncing on Feng Kuang.

Ye Chenʼs eyes flashed, seeing the mark Lingxiao had told him about before entering here. As long as the mark was scattered, the Heaven and Earth Wheel would stop.

”Ye Chen, leave, I must continue!”

Feng Kuang, enduring the terrifying grinding power of the Heaven and Earth Wheel and resisting the impact of the blood fiendish energy, split his mind to shout at Ye Chen.

”Boom!”

At that instant of distraction.

Blood and flesh burst from Feng Kuangʼs body, turning into a mist of blood.

The blood fiendish energy, like a wild cat that caught the scent of blood, intensified its assault on Feng Kuang.

”Actually... Feng Kuang wasnʼt truly at his limit; it was the interference of the blood fiendish energy that caused a huge impact.

Now, Feng Kuang is in a state of pressing forward. If he stops now, itʼs easy for his momentum to decline, and the chances of success next time would be even lower!

The Grand Hall Master said the Heaven and Earth Wheel couldnʼt be temporarily stopped; once stopped, it would have to start over.

And the only way to stop the Heaven and Earth Wheel is to scatter that mark.

But... not necessarily!

If those turning gears could be temporarily jammed, maybe restarting wouldnʼt be necessary. Solve the blood fiendish energy first, then let the Heaven and Earth Wheel continue...

Never mind, letʼs just try!”

Thoughts quickly swirled through Ye Chenʼs mind, and he immediately made a decision. He then shot straight toward the largest gear.

”Ye Chen, what are you trying to do? Get out now, this is my matter; I canʼt involve you!”

Feng Kuang shouted.

Ye Chen seemed not to hear at all. As he neared the largest gear, the terrifying force had almost reached the limit he could endure.

The next moment, dazzling golden light burst from Ye Chenʼs body.

Eternal Golden Body activated!

Ye Chenʼs speed increased once more, rushing to the side of the largest gear in an instant.

A thought crossed his mind.

The body of the Mad Old Man appeared in Ye Chenʼs hand.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen stuffed the body of the Mad Old Man into the largest gear.

”Boom!”

The gear turned, grinding against the Mad Old Manʼs body, causing the entire Heaven and Earth Wheel to tremble suddenly but then completely stop.

Not a single mark of damage was on the Mad Old Manʼs body.

Feng Kuang, watching this scene: ”...”

Ye Chenʼs Eternal Golden Body dissipated, and his figure flickered, immediately rushing to Feng Kuangʼs side, saying, ”I was just trying it out. If it didnʼt work, I could only forcibly shatter that mark. Now it seems it worked.”

”Ye Chen... that body...” Feng Kuang swallowed with difficulty, saying, ”So strong!”

Ye Chen casually said, ”I picked it up; it has no other use, just hard enough.”

Feng Kuangʼs expression tensed, saying, ”You helped me, rest assured, I wonʼt disclose your secret!”

Ye Chen gave a light smile, saying, ”The Heaven and Earth Wheel has already turned seventy-two times. Youʼre also close to sanctifying your body; just deal with this blood fiendish energy, then continue!”

Feng Kuang nodded once, saying, ”Use this!”

As he spoke, a thumb-sized golden stone appeared in Feng Kuangʼs hand, containing an extremely pure special power within.

”This is a Buddhist Relic. My ancestor gave it to me to resist the blood fiendish energy. Without this relic, I wouldʼve been unable to hold on long ago. The Buddhist power within the relic is enough to purify the blood fiendish energy.

The blood fiendish energy only appears when the Heaven and Earth Wheel is turning.

Once the Heaven and Earth Wheel stops, the blood fiendish energy will conceal itself.

So, when I first came in, I couldnʼt use the relic to purify the blood fiendish energy.

After the Heaven and Earth Wheel started turning, I couldnʼt fully control the relic to purify the blood fiendish energy.

Now itʼs better; the Heaven and Earth Wheel is in a special stopped state, and the blood fiendish energy hasnʼt concealed itself!”

Feng Kuang explained the origin and use of the thumb-sized golden stone in his hand to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wasnʼt surprised.

What kind of person is the Grand Elder?

Feng Kuang is the Grand Elderʼs only descendant.

Itʼs normal for the Grand Elder to prepare some protective items for Feng Kuang when arranging for him to enter the Heaven and Earth Wheel!

The Buddhist Sect, although Ye Chen had never encountered this factionʼs cultivators thus far, he knew a bit about it.

Cultivators of the Buddhist Sect are rarely seen in the Eastern Domain.

But in the Western Domain of the Celestial Essence Continent, the Buddhist Sect is an unrivaled force.

The Western Domain has long been known as the place where Ten Thousand Buddhas Return to the Sect, the most flourishing place for the Buddhist Sect.

Even in the most glorious years of the True Martial Hall, when its power spanned all domains of the Celestial Essence Continent, its power in the Western Domain could only barely rival the Buddhist Sect.

A relic is something that, at the very least, can only be left behind when a Buddhist Sectʼs Saint Realm Powerhouse passes away.

”Ye Chen, step back a bit. When dispersing the blood fiendish energy, it will trigger a backlash!” Feng Kuang continued to say.

Ye Chen nodded and stepped back a few steps.

Since Feng Kuang has such a good item, thereʼs no need for him to continue worrying.

At this moment, Feng Kuangʼs power flowed into the relic.

The next moment.

Golden light burst forth.

Sacred sounds resonated.

A golden illusion of a Buddha appeared in the golden light, chanting scriptures.

The Buddhist scriptures transformed into densely packed golden characters, flying towards the blood fiendish energy.

Each golden scripture character landed on the blood fiendish energy, causing it to disperse into white smoke.

Outside.

Grand Elder Feng Wuya and Grand Hall Master Lingxiao exchanged a glance.

Lingxiao was full of puzzled confusion, saying, ”The power of the Heaven and Earth Wheelʼs seventy-two turns was temporarily stopped but not dissipated...”

Feng Wuya said, ”Rest assured, under these circumstances, the relic I gave to Feng Kuang will completely crush that blood fiendish energy.”

”Relic?”

Lingxiao looked at the Grand Elder, saying, ”Buddhist relics are rare and precious...”

”Live long enough, and you accumulate a bit of everything.” Feng Wuya casually explained, then looked at Lingxiao, saying, ”The person Primordial Heaven is looking for is Ye Chen, right.”

Lingxiao: ”...”

”If the person they were looking for wasnʼt Ye Chen, you wouldnʼt have needed to use a forbidden technique to help Ye Chen perform the Golden Cicada Shell and Deceive the Heavens.”

”Thereʼs nothing the Grand Elder canʼt see through.”

”There are some things youʼre filled with doubt over now, but as I said before, when the time is right, the truth will reveal itself. Do not overly investigate.

Much like you, donʼt you also have many secrets?

You harbor many things within you. Though I donʼt know what they are, I know that once exposed, they will unleash an unfathomable storm, bringing immense disaster.

Youʼre waiting for an opportunity.

I am also waiting for an opportunity.

And Shi Fengchun... is also waiting for an opportunity.

This world has far too many people quietly watching everything unfold, all waiting for an opportunity.”

Lingxiaoʼs expression tensed, saying, ”When the opportunity comes, what will happen?”

”Perhaps the Great Dao will vanish, and a new Heaven will be established, or perhaps nothing will survive... that would be the Cataclysm of Extinction!”
