CapĂtulo 1432: Chapter 695: Immortal Battle! (Part 2)
Actually, he wanted to bring Gu Tianqiong back to the Heavenly Demon Hall, using secret techniques to turn him into a demon corpse, which would also provide some assistance. But now, who can defy the circumstances?
He had no choice but to agree.
âThank you.â
Chen Yuan nodded, and then the raging demon flame directly enveloped Gu Tianqiong, bit by bit eroding his flesh and primordial spirit.
Yet, under such agony, Gu Tianqiong did not shout a single word.
Those around him remained silent.
Only Ye Xiangnan furrowed his brow, seemingly displeased with this method, but said nothing. As for the few Bodhisattvas from Spirit Mountain, they simultaneously pressed their palms together and chanted:
âAmitabha!â
Gu Tianqiong died, perished under Chen Yuanâs demon flame, burned alive. There was no choice; he didnât want dignity for himself, so Chen Yuan could only afford him dignity for the sake of past ties.
He died very quickly, so quickly that it was unbelievable. A peerless True Monarch within the top ten of the Heavenly List was burnt to extinction in just a matter of dozens of breaths.
The others were gravely concerned about the might of Chen Yuanâs demon flame.
Chen Yuan, however, knew the truth. His demon flame could indeed pose great threats to Yang God True Monarchs, but it wasnât to this extent. The real situation was that Gu Tianqiong had abandoned all resistance.
Perhaps he understood as well that the trend couldnât be reversed, resisting a bit longer was useless, so he simply let go of his spirit, allowing the demon flame to scorch.
Sima Che was agitated from beginning to end, but under the suppression of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl and Tianxuâs wondrous magic, he couldnât even make a sound, only watching Gu Tianqiong fall.
There was no celestial phenomena of weeping blood, no signs.
But everyone present could feel the dispersal of Gu Tianqiongâs primordial spirit into the heavens and earth.
âThe courtâs grand momentum is gone, thereâs no possibility of revival. From now on, we shall contend for supremacy, but⊠without distant concerns, there will be immediate worries. Spirit Mountainâs power is formidable and not to be underestimated.
Fellow Daoists, these four monks just blocked our path to overthrow the tyrant. How about⊠leaving these monks behind to cut Spirit Mountainâs arm?â
Chen Yuanâs gaze swept across everyone, proposing.
Though it was a proposal, in truth, everyone had already acted. Feng Jiuge had been eyeing Yaoshi Pusa, and upon seeing Chen Yuanâs gaze, gave a slight nod:
âAgreed.â
Ling Xu Daoist was surrounded by the Slaughter Immortal Swordâs sword qi, directly pointing at Savior Bodhisattva:
âSpirit Mountain resides in the Western Regions, inherently not of our kind, and our doctrines do not align, thus it must be eliminated.â
In the world of martial arts, there are five paths when further divided.
Namely Dao, Buddha, Demon, Sword, and Confucian Dao.
But Confucian Dao has long declined, no strong presence, leaving only Dao, Buddha, and Demon.
Among them, Dao and Sword are originally one entity, originating from the same source, while Buddha and Demon have been opposed since ancient times, and Spirit Mountain, residing in the Western Regions, suppresses immortal sects across the realm and is feared by all factions.
Thus, after Chen Yuanâs proposal, a trace of a smile flickered in Dongfang Shengâs eyes:
âDemon Lordâs proposal is very good, I believe it is feasible.â
Tianxu Daoist, Lingxu Daoist, Qingxu Daoist were already of his group, they said nothing, just nodded, while Jiang He directly blocked Pu Xian Bodhisattvaâs retreat.
Yet Ye Xiangnan shook his head:
âYouâve done enough; Iâll not interfere.â
Seven or eight Yang God True Monarchs joining forces, even though the four Bodhisattvas are not weak in strength, they have no room for maneuvering. Manjusri is indeed strong, but against several True Monarchs together, the threat was enough to kill.
Savior Bodhisattva, Pu Xian Bodhisattva, and Yaoshi Pusa looked displeased, watching the others warily, but the leading Manjusri Bodhisattva remained composed.
Looking at Chen Yuan, he smiled:
âThis humble monk thinks itâs not appropriate.â
âWhy is it not appropriate?â
âDoes Chen benefactor wonder why after His Majesty passed, we did not leave?â
âBecause you couldnât leave.â
Chen Yuan smiled, convinced that if given the chance, these monks would have fled, just like that Kunlun Mountainâs Feng Yuan Daoist, who fled at the sight of trouble.
But Manjusri and the others were different.
Manjusri was watched by Ye Xiangnan, who didnât want to attack, just not wanting to gang up, but he had been watching Manjusri since the beginning.
Yaoshi Pusa couldnât move under Feng Jiugeâs gaze.
Savior Bodhisattva was unable to leave under Ling Xu Daoistâs eyes.
State Preceptor Pu Xian was watched by Jiang He and Xu Yan Monk.
Even if he wanted to leave, he couldnât!
âThatâs the first reason; thereâs another.â
Manjusri Bodhisattva said.
âGo on.â
âActually, Chen benefactor should have thought, why did Ksitigarbha suddenly leaveâŠ.â
Chen Yuanâs eyes snapped:
âBuddha?â
âExactly!â
Manjusri nodded.
After saying, Manjusri Bodhisattva faced a certain direction in the east, pressed his palms together:
âManjusri⊠pays respects to Buddha!â
The other Bodhisattvas followed suit, all bowing:
âSavior⊠pays respects to Buddha!â
âPu Xian⊠pays respects to Buddha!â
âYaoshi⊠pays respects to Buddha!â
In the void a hundred miles away, golden light suddenly erupted, illuminating the entire heavens and earth, a magnificent Golden Body dispelled all dark clouds, overlooking the human world.
The golden body was glorious, overshadowing the sunâs rays, resembling an insurmountable Divine Mountain between heaven and earth, commanding awe.
And beneath the golden body, a white-clothed Mora, the size of a grain, sat cross-legged in the void, level with the golden bodyâs head, seemingly⊠in confrontation!
Spirit Mountainâs Buddha, Immortal descends!
But what puzzled Chen Yuan was, why didnât he appear during Jingtaiâs fall?
Why not appear before the action?
Why⊠wait until everything settled to reveal himself?
