Chapter 2488 Papiyas Versus Tian Lu, Despair Papiyas, You Survived
After acquiring the Tribulation Lord's strongest attack, Chu Kuangren left Divine Tribulation Mountain.
Meanwhile, Tian Lu grinned when he saw that the auras at the mountain peak had calmed down. "Chu Kuangren is dead."
Even he would die in the face of such a powerful attack, and he believed so would Chu Kuangren.
The thought made him happy.
The Primal Kingdom had finally removed its biggest threat.
Right before he left, he saw a bloody Buddhist light shining brightly further away, and an Overlord's aura erupted.
He saw a handsome monk in a red kasaya sitting with his legs crossed and emanating a strange aura.
It felt like the Buddha's energy but more wicked.
Tian Lu narrowed his eyes. "It's him, the biggest enemy of Ancient Buddha, Desire Buddha. He's still alive."
Ancient Buddha was one of the Nine Honors of the Primal Kingdom, and he had awakened already.
Tian Lu did not mind doing a favor to remove the Ancient Buddha's biggest enemy.
"Die!"
With that, Tian Lu summoned his green sword in his hand again and slashed it down. The sword ray he released was extremely sharp.
Upon noticing the incoming threat, Papiyas opened his eyes. The blood Buddhist light around him shone brightly, forming multiple layers of barriers around him.
The sword ray cut through the barriers, and the resistance weakened its power, allowing Papiyas to stop it completely with another palm strike. However, he did not look happy.
"This sword ray… You're the Blade of Despair?" Papiyas was the soul fragment of the Desire Buddha, so he had surely heard of the infamous Blade of Despair.
He stared solemnly at Tian Lu.
Even in his prime, the Desire Buddha was no match for the Blade of Despair, let alone the fact that he had not fully recovered.
He was in danger.
"Now that you know who I am, you will die."
"Blade of Despair, I have no grudge against you. Why are you coming after me?" Papiyas asked.
"Ancient Buddha and I both serve the God Emperor, which makes us colleagues. I don't mind killing you for him."
Tian Lu attacked once again.
The frosty sword ray shot out at Papiyas again.
Each slash he threw contained an icy-cold aura that could easily throw one into despair.
Papiyas dared not be careless against the attacks either.
He bellowed and channeled the energy of Desire Buddha. Daoist law energy erupted and formed an ancient Buddha behind him.
The Buddha put his hands together before throwing a palm attack at Tian Lu.
"Bang!"
Tian Lu was pushed back a few steps but was not hurt. With the green sword in his hand, he grinned. "The Great Daoist law energy is no match for my Source energy!"
Other than the Primal Gods, powerful Overlords could also master the Source energy.
Since ancient times, only those Great Dao Beings, second only to the Primal Gods, had the privilege and the opportunity to master the Source energy.
Tian Lu was one of them.
"Despair Blade Art, Eternal Sorrow!"
Tian Lu raised the green sword high.
Suddenly, ominous green qi rose, and a bleak aura that could leave one in eternal sorrow expanded. Some cultivators who got caught by the aura started to sob and cry.
The slash was actually a spirit attack that targeted a cultivator's mental state.
It was freaky and powerful. Even Papiyas, who cultivated the Desire Buddha Dao and was already an Overlord, dared not underestimate it. He put his hands together and released even more Buddhist light.
Brahmic chimes started to ring across the realm.
"Empty Formless, Desire Arch Buddha!"
Blood Buddhist light intertwined and formed a massive Buddha avatar behind him.
The Buddha put his hands together and released a massive amount of Daoist law energy.
When the slash and Buddha's palm clashed, the slash cut through the Buddha's palm.
The blood-colored Buddha avatar exploded after its hand was cut in half, and Papiyas was blasted away.
He knew he was no match for Tian Lu, so he did not linger any longer. Without a second thought, he transformed into a streak of light and wanted to leave.
However, Tian Lu scoffed. "Thinking of running?"
The moment he said that, multiple figures appeared.
Each of them was an Unlimited Great Dao cultivator who could rival an Overlord and was as strong as Wen Tianfeng.
They were all Forbidden Guards.
It seemed Tian Lu did not come to Naraka alone. He had brought a team of trusted guards with him and told them to be on standby in the dark.
They attacked with their spears and palms, unleashing power that rivaled Overlords.
Caught off guard, Papiyas was blasted away. Blood gushed from his mouth, and his Buddhist light started to flicker.
"Damn it!"
Papiyas' face turned pale, and he felt dissatisfied.
How could he die in the hands of the Forbidden Guards when he had not defeated Ancient Buddha?
"Sin Buddha Desire World Sky, All Truth Erased!"
Papiyas put his hands together to make multiple hand seals.
Endless Buddhist light shone from his body and formed a massive red Swastika symbol that caught everyone who ambushed him.
A destructive force spread across the land.
On top of that, the Forbidden Guards felt their desires amplified and their minds disturbed by their darkest desires.
It was a scary attack.
Only a few Overlords could withstand such an attack.
Tian Lu grunted and swung his sword around. The blade gleamed as it spun, releasing endless rage and wicked qi that were transformed into green miasma.
Everything that the green miasma touched died.
"Shinra Purgatory Slash!"
Tian Lu raised his sword high and released endless wicked qi into the realm.
When he swung his sword down, the green sword ray shot out brightly toward the blood Swastika symbol.
Following an explosion upon collision, the land trembled, and the void shattered.
The blood-colored Swastika symbol was shattered!
Papiyas was, once again, blasted away.
He was covered in blood, and his Buddhist light was almost non-existent. His Great Dao was also damaged to the point of collapse, and he was losing vitality fast.
He could not take another hit from Tian Lu.
"He's too strong!"
"That's the captain of the Forbidden Guards! He's so powerful! The Desire Buddha is no match for him!"
"The Desire Buddha is also powerful, but too bad he's fighting the Blade of Despair. He isn't strong enough."
"Yeah."
The other cultivators had a better understanding of Tian Lu's strength.
Meanwhile, Tian Lu raised his sword, releasing endless murderous intent that flooded Papiyas.
Knowing that the next slash would kill him, Papiyas drowned in his own grievance.
"Damn it…"
He looked at Tian Lu and the power that he could not beat, overwhelmed with despair.
"Die!"
Tian Lu slashed the green sword down. The green sword ray shot out, cutting off all possible escape routes for Papiyas.
"Kabaam!"
The explosion echoed across the universe.
Just as everyone believed Papiyas was dead, Tian Lu's eyes widened in shock.
When the sword ray faded, a white-robed figure appeared before Papiyas.
The powerful slash did not even leave a scratch on him.
Everyone else was shocked too.
Tian Lu could not believe his eyes. It was shocking not because his slash did not hurt the white-robed figure but because the white figure was alive.
"You survived the Tribulation Lord's attack?"
