Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 635 635: Obey My Orders for 500 Years!

Thirty thousand years ago, a Buddha Gate Deity preached on Golden Mountain, enlightening all beings. Seated below him, a Vajra Buddha Knife bathed in the sounds of Buddha, gaining sentience and transforming into human form. After the Buddha Gate Deity departed, the knife itself became a Deity and founded the Boundless Vajra Sect here. Later, this divine Buddha Knife pursued the footsteps of that Buddha Gate Deity, leaving the Boundless Vajra Sect. On his departure, he split off his original form, leaving it behind at the Boundless Vajra Sect. This was the Sacred Gold Knife—a Deity-level treasure! Moreover, it was an impeccable Deity-level treasure! A true Divine Weapon!

"You're insane! How dare you even think of touching the Sacred Gold Knife!" Watanabe stared at Jie Tan in disbelief, screaming at the top of his lungs. "The Sacred Gold Knife is a Deity-level treasure! Only Saint Kings may approach it! You're courting death!"

"Hahaha! That applies to you, not me!" Jie Tan sneered, lifting his palm to stir the enveloping pitch-black Demonic Qi. "Look! Do you see it? This Demonic Qi is so powerful! But Buddha and demon are one. In an instant, I can transform it into the purest Buddha Light! In the presence of the purest Buddha Light, the Sacred Gold Knife will be drawn to me. Even if I cannot wield it, I can still take it away and destroy the Boundless Vajra Sect's thirty-thousand-year foundation in an instant! Hahahaha!!!"

His voice had barely faded when the surging Demonic Qi began to churn violently, like tumultuous waves rolling through heaven and earth. Then, it abruptly halted, as if solidified, and a blaze of golden light erupted!

In just a moment!

To everyone's utter shock and disbelief, the pitch-black Demonic Qi transformed into an unbelievably pure, natural, and sacred—Buddha Light!

"Impossible!! This can't be happening! Jie Tan, what Illusion Technique have you used!?" Watanabe looked as if he were going mad, his understanding of the world almost shattering. He couldn't accept or believe that the most sinister and evil Demonic Qi could transform into the purest Buddha Light! This completely contradicted his three hundred years of cultivation principles! It utterly opposed his three-hundred-year life philosophy! How could this be! How could this possibly be!?

"Hahahaha! Nothing is impossible!" Jie Tan laughed uproariously, reverting to his state with Demonic Qi engulfing the sky. "Old fool, do you even know who I am? A hundred years ago, I was cultivating in Beijing. I had blood-sacrificed seven thousand five hundred people and was just a step away from entering the Saint Realm! But you, this old bald donkey, appeared out of nowhere and shattered my physical body with a single strike, forcing me to reincarnate using a Secret Technique! I was on the very threshold of the Saint Realm, all my efforts ruined! For the destruction of my path, I swore an oath of vengeance, never to rest until one of us is dead! In this life, I joined the Boundless Vajra Sect specifically to become its Sect Master one day and destroy this sect to which you've dedicated your entire life! However, the appearance of a Possessing Demon showed me another path—methods to convert Demonic Qi into Buddha Light, to corrupt all beings, and to absorb the purest life force to break through to higher Realms! So many, many wondrous methods!"

"A hundred years ago, the blood sacrifice in Beijing!? You're the Blood-clad Old Demon!!" Watanabe's face turned deathly pale as he stared at Jie Tan in disbelief. His entire body trembled; a peak Semi-Saint, he almost fainted from the revelation. The shock was too great!

He had never imagined that the disciple he had treated as his own, nurtured as the future Sect Master, was actually the demon from a century ago, reincarnated solely to destroy the Boundless Vajra Sect! And Jie Tan, right under his very nose, had been colluding with the Nine Nether Evil Demons, drawing upon the life force of all beings, and he himself had been utterly oblivious, completely unaware!

Damn it! Damn it all!!

Despair flooded Watanabe's heart, turning it to ash. He was consumed by extreme self-reproach. As if guided by an unseen hand, his gaze shifted to Qin Heng. A glimmer of realization flashed through his mind; it was as if he suddenly understood why Qin Heng had come to attack the Boundless Vajra Sect!

This wasn't about some ancient vendetta or the reincarnation of some ancient powerhouse. No, it was probably because this 'Number One Through the Ages' had noticed something amiss with Jie Tan, had discovered the true Great Demon lurking within the Boundless Vajra Sect! In that previous battle, he himself had been the one in the wrong!

THUD!!

Watanabe suddenly knelt before Qin Heng. He then raised both hands high, palms facing downward, and kowtowed, pressing his palms to the ground with utmost respect and humility as he cried out, "I beseech you, Senior, take action and save my Boundless Vajra Sect!"

Silence! An absolute silence!! Watanabe's kowtow seemed to silence all of creation!

The Martial Artists watching from afar, the tourists on Sun Gazing Peak, and the many Disciples within the Boundless Vajra Sect's main encampment—everyone was stunned, utterly flabbergasted!

Watanabe! The Sect Master of the Boundless Vajra Sect! Ranked sixth on the Heavenly List and known as the Buddha Knife! He was actually kneeling before an eighteen-year-old youth, begging him to save the Boundless Vajra Sect!?

Madness! Sheer madness! Had Monk Watanabe gone insane, or had the world itself gone mad? Just moments ago, Monk Watanabe had regarded Qin Xuantian as a mortal enemy, an ancient expert reincarnated to wreak vengeance upon the Boundless Vajra Sect. Now, he was kneeling and begging him for aid? The change was too abrupt!

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!!" Jie Tan burst into laughter. He stood atop the five-thousand-meter-high, pitch-black vajra, looking down at Watanabe with narrowed eyes, chuckling as he said, "Watanabe, you old fool, have you gone senile? Seeking help from a mere peak Innate Realm cultivator? Do you truly believe he can do anything to me, this venerable one?"

Having said that, he turned to Qin Heng. "Little guy, your strength isn't bad, and your cultivation technique is decent. Hand over your cultivation technique and its legacy! Grovel before this venerable one, and perhaps, in a moment of compassion, I'll deign to take you as a Servant and let you keep your pathetic life!"

Having stepped into the Saint Realm, Jie Tan's confidence had become boundless. Especially after acquiring numerous Demon Way techniques from the Possessing Demon's memories, his faith in his own power was absolute!

Qin Heng ignored Jie Tan's words, his gaze fixed on Watanabe as he stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, "Why should I help you? What does the life or death of the Boundless Vajra Sect have to do with me?"

"What do you desire, sir?" Watanabe asked, still kneeling.

"For the next five hundred years, the Boundless Vajra Sect will obey my commands," Qin Heng declared, his voice like that of an Immortal God looking down from above. "Will you agree?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Watanabe's entire body tensed. He froze, momentarily unsure how to respond.

"Haha, you little ant certainly are audacious, daring to make such a demand!" Jie Tan roared with laughter, his face a mask of ridicule. "What wishful thinking! The Boundless Vajra Sect is the legacy of a Deity, after all! Who do you think you are..."

"Scram!" Qin Heng snorted coldly, casting a disdainful glance at Jie Tan.

Instantly, the heavens and earth dimmed. Invisible principles of power were stirred, and the five-thousand-meter-high, pitch-black vajra beneath Jie Tan's feet detonated, transforming into endless black smoke that billowed skyward before gradually dissipating!

HUM!

Jie Tan, as if struck by a meteor, plummeted from the sky, gouging out a massive crater upon impact! He had utterly no power to resist!

Watanabe witnessed this, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks, his mind utterly blank...

BOOM!

Another earth-shattering sound. Qin Heng casually slapped downwards. His True Qi condensed into a colossal palm descending from the sky, its five fingers transforming into mountain peaks hundreds of meters tall, slamming down and pinning Jie Tan underneath!

Silence once again descended upon the world.

Qin Heng withdrew his hand, his expression nonchalant, as if he had merely swatted a fly. He then cast his gaze upon Watanabe, who stood utterly stupefied, frozen like a clay statue.

Qin Heng chuckled softly. "Well? Have you decided?"
