Chapter 3911: Deaths of Saints
Ling Han followed him into the tree hollow.
All around them, it was pitch-black, and even his fingers could not be seen.
This wasn’t darkness in terms of vision, but also darkness for the divine sense. It was useless even if he released his divine sense. He couldn’t see or sense anything. It was as if he were an ordinary blind person.
Thankfully, this hole was not big, and one could touch the walls on either side with just a stretch of his hand. The ceiling above his head was not high either, and he would have to walk with his waist bent. Thus, as long as he touched the walls on either side, he would have a rough idea of his surroundings.
After walking for a while, light gradually appeared ahead of them.
He walked further, and saw that he had appeared in a basement.
This basement was very big, and it was not the end either. There was still a path ahead of them. However, a great many people had now stopped here.
That was because there were Yin souls here, but there were very few of them, and they floated there.
Some Core Formation Tier cultivators rushed out to fight, but these Yin souls were extraordinarily powerful. One Core Formation Tier cultivator couldn’t fight them at all, and several people had to work together to be a match.
Prosperous Heaven couldn’t do anything about it either. Her soul expiation technique was most effective against large numbers of Yin souls but were weaker than her. However, there weren’t many Yin souls now, but they were strong individually, so her soul expiation technique couldn’t take full effect.
There was nothing else that could be done. They could only advance slowly.
All the Core Formation Tiers moved one after another. Every five or six of them would join forces to deal with a Yin soul. In any case, there were many cultivators of Core Formation Tier here, so there was completely enough of them to deal with them.
After spending a very long time, they finally cleared out this extremely large stone chamber, and then walked into the next room.
The moment they entered, everyone felt their vision blur. They saw mountains of blades and seas of flames, and saw countless living beings being tortured, making them feel as if they were experiencing it themselves.
A great many people cried out on the spot, grabbing their heads and rolling around on the ground, completely lacking the bearing of elites.
Ling Han’s divine sense also wavered slightly. He hurriedly strengthened his willpower and guarded his mind.
Not long after, these images disappeared.
Everyone finally saw the scene here clearly, and all of them inhaled sharply, a chill rising up from the bottom of their hearts.
This was practically Asura Hell!
There were torture devices everywhere, and on every torture tool, there was a person who had been tortured. Naturally, he had long since died, but he was exuding an indestructible resentment that could drive one crazy.
The White Lotus Mystery Realm would only open once every million years, so this place should have been sealed for at least a few million years, or even longer, but looking at these corpses, there was still blood dripping from them.
This was too bizarre. The corpse was dripping blood, and had not dried up even after millions of years?
“These are all Saints!” Prosperous Heaven suddenly spoke up, “Or rather, they were Saints in the past!”
Pu!
Instantly, everyone spluttered.
Though the local natives had limited horizons, they knew the level of cultivation, and knew what kind of concept Saints were. How many were there in this world?
But now?
There were actually so many Saints being held up on torture devices. By the looks of it, they had been tortured to death. All of them had incredibly pained expressions. Who knew what kind of torture they had endured when they had been alive.
That’s right, the oil from the lamp in the great hall previously! That had been refined from the corpse of a Saint. Could it be that it was from the Saints that had been tortured to death here?
The problem was, who was so freakish that they could capture so many Saints and torture them to death?
Ancestral King?
This was a temple, and there was also the secret technique of the Buddhist Race being taught. Could it be… Ancestral Buddha Ah Han?
Everyone looked towards Prosperous Heaven. There was confusion in their eyes, as well as extreme fear.
How many Saints were there here?
He had probably gathered all the Saints of an era. It could definitely be considered as deaths of Saints.
Prosperous Heaven shook her head and said, “Everyone, don’t misunderstand. Ancestral Buddha is benevolent and amiable, so how could he possibly do such a thing?”
“Who in the world is that? They actually captured so many Saints and tortured them to death?” someone murmured.
It should be known that capturing a Saint was even more difficult than killing a Saint, and to be able to capture so many Saints alive, aside from an Ancestral King, who else could it be?
The Buddhist Race had only produced a single Great Emperor, and this place was inextricably linked to the Buddhist Race. Who would believe that this wasn’t the doing of the Buddhist Race’s Great Emperor?
All of a sudden, even more gazes turned towards Prosperous Heaven, filled with wariness and hostility.
Obviously, Prosperous Heaven had concealed a great many things, and in this kind of Mystery Realm, such a secret could possibly kill them.
“If Holy Daughter Prosperous Heaven knows anything, please tell us,” a Core Formation Tier cultivator said smilingly to Prosperous Heaven. Though his voice was gentle, everyone could hear that sliver of coldness.
At this time, who would care what contributions Prosperous Heaven had made? This concerned their own life and wealth, so they were naturally the most important.
Prosperous Heaven hesitated for a moment. This was a huge secret, and she definitely didn’t want to reveal it. However, it seemed like there was nothing she could do at this moment.
Otherwise, if she were ganged up on, she would lose her life here.
Even if she didn’t die, she wouldn’t be able to achieve her goal.
“Everyone knows that Ancestral Buddha created Buddhist Race, but in truth, Ancestral Buddha didn’t appear out of thin air. He also has an inheritance,” Prosperous Heaven said. Everyone held their breath. What Prosperous Heaven was about to reveal was possibly one of
the greatest secrets of the universe.
“Ancestral Buddha was supremely talented in martial arts, and ultimately became the
Ancestral King, invincible for an era. However, no one knew that Ancestral Buddha actually had a Senior Brother. Whether it was talent or being gifted, he was not only not inferior to Ancestral Buddha, but even surpassed him.”
What!
Everyone was shocked. There was actually such a freakish person in this world?
But why had it been Ancestral Buddha that finally achieved Dao?
Hold on, this Black Heaven Temple was created by that Senior Brother from the Buddhist
Race?
“This Senior Brother of Ancestral Buddha is named Doga.” Prosperous Heaven continued, “At that time, Ancestral Buddha and his Senior Brother defeated all the prodigies in the world, and in the end, both of them became Pseudo Emperors.”
Pseudo-Emperor, above Saint Tier, and below Great Emperor,, was a special cultivation level that could overwhelm all Saints, but was still another level away from the invincible Great
Emperor.
Ordinarily, it was only possible for a single Pseudo Emperor to appear in one era, and after several years of cultivation, complete that final leap. If he succeeded, he would become the Invincible Great Emperor, and if he failed, his Dao would be destroyed and he would die.
Thus, Ancestral Buddha and his Senior Brother actually both became pseudo-emperors. This was really too shocking.
Becoming an Emperor not only required natural talent, fated opportunities, and hard cultivation, but also great fortune that was blessed by heaven and earth.
“At the same time, only one person can become an Emperor.”
“In front of the position of Emperor, Ancestral Buddha and his Senior Brother also began a
fierce competition. In the end, the heavens favoured Ancestral Buddha, and he achieved the
supreme great dao.”
“However, Buddha Doga fell into the demonic path from then onwards, wanting to take a different path, and ascend to the position of Emperor.”
“All of this is probably just experiments by Buddha Doga.”
This explanation… was very logical.
When a Pseudo Emperor moved, so what if it was a Saint? He would definitely not be able to
withstand a single blow. Even if a Pseudo Emperor was not a true Great Emperor, as long as he had the word ‘Emperor’ in his name, he would have transcended the level of Saints, and completely overwhelmed Saints.
Thus, the inheritance of the Buddhist Race appeared here, so there were lamps made from the corpse oil of Saints here. Thus, the Saints here were also executed.
Pseudo-Emperor, Doga!
