Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The strongest vengeful soul in Weeping Phantom Ridge has appeared!
With Hui Fa and the Saber Lord leading the group, the Immortal Progeny sky-prides launched their attacks. All kinds of ultimate and Immortal Techniques were unleashed at the vengeful soul.
‘The vengeful soul roared as it swung its limbs in a flurry, whipping up a powerful tornado. A single slam from its limbs possessed the strength of a Heavenly Daoist Celestial. As such, a bunch of Immortal Progeny sky-prides was hurt in the process.
“Mighty Saber Art, Dominating Eight Wind!” the Saber Lord shouted, and the saber on his back unsheathed itself with a loud clunk.
The black saber glimmered in a dim glow. As it struck down, a boundless and rampant saber shadow fell from above.
Boom!
The explosion was so loud that it felt like it could tear the Immortal World’s void apart.
‘The enormous saber aura shook half of Weeping Phantom Ridge.
“Amitabha.”
Aloud mantra suddenly sounded.
Hui Fa, the Holy Monk, sat in the air with his legs crossed. Countless Buddhist Light swirled around him, making him look like a holistic and merciful figure.
“Grand Brahmic Heavenly Palm!” he bellowed as he slowly lifted his palm.
Then, an enormous palm, formed by Buddhist Light, came down from the clouds. Bearing the might that could shake heaven and earth, it was hurled towards that vengeful soul.
The other Supreme Immortal Progenies also joined the fray with their respective attacks.
“Eroding Bone Poison Flame!” Huoshen Xiao bellowed.
Avast amount of black flames spurted out of his body and transformed into a gigantic fireball that was hurled towards the vengeful soul like a comet.
“Dragon Cry Sword Art, Rising Dragon!”
The Immortal Progenies from Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy unleashed their sword ray.
Suddenly, the sword qi intertwined and converged into a dragon shadow that blasted forward.
Several powerful and unmatched techniques, which some could even rival a Pseudo Immortal, blasted on the vengeful soul. A series of explosions rang out.
A terrifying wail later, the vengeful soul fell to the ground, and its body slowly disintegrated into scarlet red rage qi.
“We did it!”
“We finally did it!”
‘The crowd was delighted over the victory.
Hui Fa, too, wore a smile on his face. He took the Buddha sculpture out and tossed it up to absorb all the rage qi.
Once that large amount of rage qi was absorbed into the Buddha sculpture, the sculpture turned crimson and glowed in red Buddhist light, looking extremely freaky.
“Tm one last step away,” Hui Fa said with a smile.
‘The Saber Lord frowned at the sculpture. “This Buddha sculpture looks a little freaky. And what’s one step away, Hui Fa?”
“This Buddha sculpture is named Resentful Buddha. It is an Immortal Weapon, but to activate it requires a large amount of rage qi and Living Blood Essence,” Hui Fa said.
The crowd was slightly stunned at his words because they differed from what he claimed earlier.
“You little Holy Monk, you said you were going to bring this back to purify its rage qi. How does it become an Immortal Weapon that requires activation?”
“That’s because I lied,” Hui Fa said calmly.
Ahint of coldness flashed in his eyes. At the next moment, the crimson red Buddha sculpture radiated with Buddhist light that enveloped a few thousand kilometers in radius.
All the Immortal Progeny sky-prides were shocked.
“sh*t!”
“Something is wrong!”
They wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The crimson red Buddhist light enveloped everyone and formed a blood-color enchanted boundary.
Everyone was trapped inside.
“Holy Monk, what are you trying to do?”
“Hui Fa, remove this enchanted boundary at once!”
“Senior Brother, what are you doing?”
Furious, everyone glared at Hui Fa. Even the monks from Golden Ridge Temple were baffled by his action.
Hui Fa put his hands together and said with a faint smile, “Everyone, in order to succeed in my path of becoming a Buddha, I would like to ask all of you to die.”
‘The Saber Lord’s face darkened. “You want to use our Living Blood Essence to activate this Resentful Buddha? That’s why you brought me into this group and led everyone on this expedition to the Weeping Phantom Ridge?!”
“That’s correct.” Hui Fa nodded.
“You are a vicious man.”
“Hui Fa! How dare you call yourself the Holy Monk of Golden Ridge Temple? How could you resolve to such wicked methods?”
“That’s right, Hui Fa! Release us at once”!
‘The crowd began to run their mouths.
Golden Ridge Temple was an immortal orthodoxy in Planquilon Immortal World, and it was considered a sacred place for Buddhists to cultivate. They had always been well-respected by others.
Every monk from the temple was merciful and compassionate.
However, no one would have thought that the Holy Monk, Hui Fa, would do something like that for his own gains. He wanted to sacrifice all of them to activate the Resentful Buddha.
Aholy monk? He was more like a wicked monk!
“Amitabha. The path to Resentful Buddha cannot be reversed. Don’t worry everyone, I promise you a quick death.” Hui Fa chanted the mantra and said with a merciful tone.
Then, he released a palm strike, and a huge amount of Buddhist Light enveloped his peers from Golden Ridge Temple.
Ina bang, the other monks burst into a cloud of blood mist.
That scene shocked the rest.
‘They did not expect Hui Fa to go after his own peers first and in such a ruthless way too. He did not even hesitate when he took their lives.
The blood mist then gathered toward the Resentful Buddha. After absorbing the Living Blood Essence, the luster on the sculpture felt more wicked.
Everyone even saw the eyelid of the sculpture move as if it had come alive! The look of it struck fear in everyone.
“D*mn it! Let’s destroy the Resentful Buddha first!” the Saber Lord bellowed.
He tightened his grip on his saber and unleashed his Mighty Saber Art Immortal Technique. A huge overbearing saber shadow struck down towards the Resentful Buddha.
However, Hui Fa jumped in to block the attack. He quickly raised his hand to release his Buddhist Light and easily stopped the slash.
The Saber Lord could not believe his eyes. “Impossible!”
Refusing to believe the fact, he unleashed another saber attack.
“Mighty Saber Art, Dominating Eight Wind!”
The saber shadow struck down with such dominating force that could split the universe in half.
“That is no use,” Hui Fa said softly.
His Emperor qi and Buddhist light suddenly surged in power, allowing him to perform another palm strike radiating with Buddhist Light. As such, the saber attack was blocked once again.
Throughout the entire process, he did not budge from his spot.
On the other hand, the Saber Lord was forced to slide less than a meter back.
“Your Emperor qi…”
As if having thought of something, a hint of horror appeared on the Saber Lord’s face.
“That’s right. I’ve started my Immortal Path and passed the first of the Three Disaster and Nine Dooms trials. My Emperor qi has been refined from the lightning tribulation. I am not your match anymore,” Hui Fa said with a sense of pride in his eyes.
“No way…”
The Saber Lord seemed shaken.
Three Disaster and Nine Dooms were the mandatory trials in the Immortal Path. Once the cultivators had started on the trials, it meant that they were already transforming into an Immortal.
Such powers were not something a cultivator, who has not started the Immortal Path, could rival.
“Run!” The Saber Lord knew he was no match, so he wisely chose to flee instead of putting his life at risk. His figure flashed into the distance.
“You are in my enchanted boundary. Where can you run to?” Hui Fa chuckled.
‘That was when a powerful energy fluctuation emanated from the Saber Lord. There was even a faint layer of Immortal Sparks around him.
Hui Fa narrowed his eyes. “This is… Immortal Bloodline?”
The Saber Lord was the Oceanic Sword Grave’s Young Master and the son of the Saber Crown, so he, of course, bore the bloodline of an Immortal.
The advantage of his bloodline was reflected in his cultivation talents. It was why he was able to climb to the ranks among the Immortal Progenies and the Twelve Kings.
On top of that, channeling the power of the Immortal Bloodline would give him a boost in strength. However, using it would consume his potential. It was considered a last resort, only activated during a pinch.
With the power of the Immortal Bloodline, the Saber Lord cut a small exit at the enchanted boundary and dashed out.
Hui Fa did not look too happy about it. However, he then looked at the other Immortal Progeny sky-prided. “Amitabha. Please, everyone, die..”
