Chapter 535 - 534: The Luminous Buddha Takes Action, Lord of the Dao Court in Peril [Part 1]
"Greetings to Luminous Buddha, may Luminous Buddha eradicate the future troubles for our Buddha Country!"
Faced with the cold stare of a Saint, Medicine Buddha remained composed, neither obsequious nor haughty, as he made his plea to Past Buddha.
While speaking, his gaze fell upon Lin Heng.
This caused Lin Heng’s expression to change slightly.
"Luminous Buddha, this person is too terrifying; once he becomes a Saint, the consequences will be endless."
"Since you have appeared, I implore you to strengthen our Buddha Country!"
"I beg Luminous Buddha to act and utterly defeat the Daoist lineage!"
The other Buddhas also sought assistance from the face beyond the cosmos.
Meanwhile, a few individuals looked deeply into the back of Medicine Buddha.
At that moment, Medicine Buddha stood beneath the vault of heaven, appearing exceptionally calm; the arrival of Saint Luminous seemed to have been long anticipated by him.
The Infinite Buddha was only now realizing the subtlety of it all, secretly murmuring to himself: "So, Medicine Buddha didn’t plan on watching East Buddha die, or perhaps, from the beginning, he had predicted at the final moment, Luminous would appear..."
"Just as he wanted Luminous to appear."
"He wants Luminous to act, to be entwined with the karma."
"This... This is not merely the contest for Future Buddha but a contest between Past Buddha and Present Buddha; whether it’s Merit Buddha or East Buddha, they are merely pawns."
"Yet, why can’t the two Saints of our Buddha Country work together?"
"They have already achieved supreme power, immortal and indestructible. What are they still contesting for?"
"Sigh..."
The heart of the Infinite Buddha was a mixture of emotions; he saw through the conflict yet couldn’t discern its cause, feeling bitter about the internal strife of the Buddha Country, worrying for its future, unable to help but sigh.
"Luminous Buddha."
"If you do not act, so be it, but if you do, then please do so thoroughly."
"You are already entwined with this karma, and should exert effort for the Buddha Country."
Medicine Buddha once again loudly requested.
It caused the face beyond the cosmos to show a trace of displeasure, its cold gaze making all of Western Heaven feel as if there were thorns on their backs.
The terrifying pressure made the group of Buddhas unable to lift their heads.
Especially Medicine Buddha.
He felt the Saint’s killing intent, and even with the protection of fortune, his flesh struggled to bear it.
Threads of golden light spilled forth.
The body seemed on the verge of exploding.
Medicine Buddha’s face turned pale, yet he faced death courageously, painstakingly lifting his head, and continued to speak loudly: "Luminous Buddha, do you intend to kill me?"
"If that’s the case, just say the word, and I shall go to my death of my own accord."
"But as for this Lord of Daoism, I beg you to strike him down."
Upon saying this, the nearby Buddhas couldn’t help but wrinkle their brows, their eyes towards Medicine Buddha becoming increasingly puzzled.
"Isn’t he vying for the position of Future Buddha?"
"Angering Luminous Buddha merely to implore Luminous Buddha to strike down that Daoist?"
"What is his scheme ultimately for?"
The Buddhas grew increasingly baffled.
Only a select few could discern that now was the contest between Past Buddha and Present Buddha, two Saints competing in secret; Medicine Buddha surely possessed the awareness of going forth as a sacrificial pawn!
With the confrontation between Medicine Buddha and the face beyond the cosmos.
The world plunged into a brief silence.
The Buddhas dared not utter a sound, all creation held its breath.
Lin Heng’s expression turned gravely serious to the utmost degree.
He endured the immense pressure of the Saint, his gaze fixated above the cosmos.
That Ancient Buddha seemed to be hesitating, yet also appeared to be resting, his face devoid of any sign of emotion, leaving his thoughts inscrutable.
Yet precisely due to this, anxiety intensified among all.
Not knowing how long had passed.
Along with the movement of the gaze of that Ancient Buddha beyond the cosmos, a sound finally shattered the silence.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The mood of the whole venue shifted, their eyes cast upon Lin Heng; it was unexpectedly the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, recently suppressed, which under indescribable power began to resonate again.
It broke free from Lin Heng’s control, adopting an invincible stance, slowly rising into the sky.
Amid continuous humming, it expanded to the extent of blotting out the sky and covering the sun.
An entire continent plunged into shadow.
Underneath, Lin Heng bore unprecedented pressure.
His body emitted cracking sounds, red mist gradually permeated, it was blood being squeezed out of every pore.
"It’s over..."
Lin Heng clenched his teeth, his face turned ashen, his eyes stared at the face beyond the cosmos.
Past Buddha’s eyes showed no emotion.
Yet a casual trace of killing intent arrived, making Lin Heng feel death approaching.
"A decision has been made!"
"The Saint of the Buddhist Sect will personally slay the Lord of the Dao Court."
"An emerging legend is about to fall."
At this moment, the expressions of various Quasi-Saints were ever-changing.
Some were shocked by the Saint’s fearlessness of karma.
Some regretted that Lin Heng, such a rare talent across the ages, would perish.
Others rejoiced, Lin Heng’s death was a celebratory message for those aspiring for the Saint’s seat in this world!
As for the Buddhas within the Buddha Country, this was needless to mention.
"That’s great."
"This child has finally reached his end!"
They had witnessed Lin Heng’s terrifying strength; this Lord of the Dao Court was too formidable, an enemy that the Buddha Country could no longer ignore!
Fortunately, Saint Luminous finally decided to act.
Everything was about to reach a conclusion!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower expanded to a size difficult to see the edges of, constantly vibrating, exuding seven-colored glazed light.
It appeared like seven brilliant galaxies, or seven primeval beasts protecting the Dao.
Accompanying the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, together with the pagoda, it rushed to suppress Lin Heng.
At this moment, this Holy Soldier contained unimaginable energy.
As it descended, the void layer by layer collapsed, the surrounding rivulets of glazed light shook the heavens.
The continent beneath Lin Heng’s feet evaporated completely.
His body appeared covered in dense, cobweb-like cracks.
How terrifying.
Just a touch of killing intent attached to the Holy Soldier allowed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower to display the unparalleled power that was absolutely impossible in East Buddha’s possession.
Perhaps the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower at this moment could truly be called the Extreme Sacred Weapon!
It surged downward, suppressing everything!
