Chapter 497 - 496: Celestial Book Gods’ List—He Bears the Holy Soldier with Sheer Might? [First Update]
"This is the holy weapon of a living Saint. Did he actually borrow it?"
"Past Buddha, aren’t you afraid of immense karma?"
The quasi-saints present all gasped, their faces filled with shock.
It can be said.
The appearance of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower is even more shocking than the emergence of the Donghuang Bell.
Of course, this isn’t to say that the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower is stronger than the Donghuang Bell.
But the former belongs to the holy weapon of a living Saint!
Such a holy weapon is related to the destiny of the living Saint.
All matters it intervenes in, the karma created will be counted upon the Saint behind it.
And since a Saint is immortal, fearing only karma, how would they casually interfere in worldly affairs?
Not to mention, the competition for the seats concerning all beings.
Even the previous Golden Cicada, explicitly supported by the World Honored Tathagata, only had the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras and the Nine Grade Lotus Platform at his side.
However, at this moment.
The East Buddha has actually brought forth the Past Buddha’s Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, leaving the present quasi-saints in utter shock.
"It seems the competition within the Buddha Country is more terrifying than imagined..."
Many murmured, their eyes complex.
Rumble!
With the activation by the East Buddha, the sky-covering Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower pressed down upon Lin Heng with a world-crushing force.
The extreme holy weapon of a living Saint is horrifying.
The sky itself couldn’t bear its might.
Layer upon layer, it collapsed and shattered.
The ground too, sank under its terrifying pressure.
The vitality between heaven and earth seemed to be completely suppressed by the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower.
The quasi-saints attacking Lin Heng retreated from the battlefield, enveloping themselves in Immortal Light to resist the holy weapon’s power.
Bang!
The Map of Mountains and Rivers trembled, waves surging, a great wind rising, attempting to block the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower.
Yet another vast aura exploded from the Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s body.
A divine light illuminated the world.
A Celestial Book manifested, hovering over Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s head, its pages open, revealing the phantoms of various gods.
Layer upon layer, it blocked the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
"Celestial Book? Gods’ List?!"
The sound of gasping filled the air once again.
All eyes focused on Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s head.
There, the Celestial Book turned its pages, and the gods descended.
The aura of the extreme holy weapon imposed over the universe!
"The supreme treasure used by the Jade Emperor Haotian of the Ancient Celestial Court to command the gods, the Celestial Book of God Sealing?"
"Heavens, when the Ancient Celestial Court fell apart and the gods warred among themselves, this artifact never showed up. I thought it had been destroyed by a Saint, but it’s actually in Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s possession!"
"Hiss... These fellows have hidden their true strength so profoundly!"
The quasi-saints present gasped, their minds buzzing.
They had considered that this competition for the seats might bring forth extreme holy weapons.
But never in their wildest dreams did they expect the appearance of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower of the living Saint, along with the long-lost Celestial Book of God Sealing.
This was utterly shocking, filling them with dread!
The Map of Mountains and Rivers was blocked by the Celestial Book of God Sealing, both exuding a mystical aura, contending and entangling with each other.
Seeing the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower about to press down on Lin Heng, Nuwa on the eighth Celestial Ladder hesitated.
"This is none of your concern, leave quickly!" she shouted loudly, urging Lin Heng to retreat.
Lin Heng, however, gazed resolutely, saying, "Miss Xiaoqian, just focus on ascending to the heavens. I can withstand the extreme holy weapon!"
He still liked to call her Miss Xiaoqian.
This left Nuwa with complex emotions.
And just as Nuwa was distracted, Lin Heng had already surged skyward against the flow, confronting the extreme holy weapon head-on.
"No!" Nuwa exclaimed in shock.
"Is this kid crazy?"
"To directly take on an extreme holy weapon, do you really think you’re invincible?" The group of quasi-saints was both shocked and enraged.
"This isn’t just arrogance, it’s outright foolishness!"
The East Buddha’s eyes gleamed coldly, as if he could already envision the scene of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower crushing Lin Heng’s body.
But in the next second, his smile froze.
Lin Heng’s palms, surrounded by layers of Chaos Qi, exploded with volcanic energy.
On his surface, the Purple Gold Immortal Light entwined while also flickering with the Saint’s Breath only found in the Quasi-Saint Realm.
With a rumble!
The sky-covering Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower pressed down.
But Lin Heng, his form reaching the heavens, withstood it with hands that seemed to support the sky, holding it forcibly in midair.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The pressure was immense.
The void around Lin Heng exploded circle after circle, the dazzling brilliance blooming like a magnificent firework.
The ground, long since turned to wasteland, sank once more.
The entire Demon Realm was swept up in a layer of chaotic dust.
The four seas evaporated, the eight directions cracked, even the Star Realm trembled.
And all the gazes present froze at this moment.
"He... he withstood it?"
"My god, he resisted the extreme holy weapon with physical strength..."
"No... this is impossible..."
"An illusion, it must be an illusion. There must be a Demon Realm quasi-saint secretly casting spells!!"
Incredulity.
Complete disbelief.
The hearts of the quasi-saints present pounded wildly, unable to accept what they saw.
This was too shocking, too terrifying.
Yet...
This was real!
"Below the true Saint, the first person has appeared..." The Phoenix Ancestor murmured in a daze, his mind completely blown by Lin Heng’s strength.
"Why... has his growth been so rapid, so terrifying..." Nine Nether Ao was also dumbfounded, even though in Jambudvipa Continent, this guy had once taken on a blow from Ksitigarbha with Ancestral Immortal Power, already proving his terrifying potential.
But what it witnessed now was beyond its imagination.
"He must be killed!"
The East Buddha suddenly shouted, genuinely panicked for once despite his usual composure.
Indeed.
The intensity of the internal competition within the Buddha Country exceeds outsiders’ imagination.
But the enmity between the Buddhist Dao and Daoism has long been irreconcilable.
The strength displayed by the opponent has far exceeded expectations, and if allowed to continue growing, Daoism truly might rise from the ashes!
He was the first to act, transforming into a gigantic golden Buddha, launching a palm strike toward Lin Heng.
Lin Heng’s eyes turned cold, supporting the tower with his shoulder, extending a hand to meet it with a palm strike of his own.
With a thunderous sound.
Their palms collided.
The physique strength of the East Buddha clearly surpassed Ksitigarbha.
But even so, he was forced to retreat dozens of steps, trembling internally, coughing up golden blood.
"He must not live, kill him together."
Nine Nether Ao also joined the fray, its nine tails towering to the sky, each with a beast head, all opening their massive mouths to devour Lin Heng.
"Begone!"
Lin Heng raised his hand, transforming it into a Celestial Blade, slicing off three of its heads in one stroke.
But simultaneously, a spear lunged from the side, piercing Lin Heng’s waist, and boiling blood sprayed forth, forming one massive crater after another on the ground.
The heavily struck Lin Heng roared, swinging a punch.
With a bang.
He directly crushed the head of the quasi-saint who had ambushed with the spear.
