The King of Black Fog

Chapter 1271 - 564: Rumors (Part 2)

Countless divine skills emerged from the depths of memory.

The bloodline is still not as powerful as the True Dragon, but it's also incredibly strong; the previous 'Black Prison Body' is far inferior compared to now!

The Prison Crow's heart was filled with delirious joy, almost bursting from it.

With the ancestral bloodline and the divine skills in its mind, the fifth Holy City can no longer daunt it!

Even the twelve Saint Positions within the eighth Holy City might not be out of reach.

It opened its eyes, scared to death.

Countless black fish surrounded the Black Nest, their abyssal, deep black eyes all fixed on it.

The Prison Crow stumbled backward, retreating from the edge of the Black Nest, with no joy left from the ancestral bloodline.

"Get lost!" In its fear, it struck out with violent anger.

The ocean devoured the energy, and the divine skills in its mind couldn't save it.

It attempted to fly away from the Black Nest, covering a thousand miles in an instant, but the closer it got to the limit of thirty seconds, the greater the panic, destruction looming.

It could only return to the Black Tide.

Exhausted every means, yet it had no way to deal with these black fish.

"Alright, alright, you send yourselves up!" The Prison Crow felt mad yet strangely calm.

It took large bites, consuming as many black fish as possible.

The black mist grew denser, and time fragments appeared repeatedly, originally believing it had reached the ancestral bloodline, yet progressing further!

Swallowing over a thousand black fish, the Prison Crow saw a figure within the time fragments.

A dense humanoid black mist sitting in the Chaos Void.

The humanoid black mist held a crystal sphere.

Upon seeing the crystal sphere, the Prison Crow realized the sphere contained a parallel universe, and its ancestor was merely a small creature in that parallel universe.

Having gained the humanoid black mist's power, the ancestor of the Prison Crow transcended, entering the present world.

Handling the parallel universe, such technique... a Saint!

To gaze upon a Saint, is to die.

In the fifth Holy City, boundless ocean, the black mist Prison Crow swelled instantly, and the next moment, it dispersed silently.

As the vessel, the Black Nest gently sank, the black fish dispersed, and the ocean remained unperturbed.

Another half a year passed, with fewer and fewer combatants leaving messages in the live streaming rooms.

"We've been tricked, we were all deceived!"

"Something's definitely wrong with the fifth city!"

"Those combatants who boasted about their ancestral bloodline have disappeared!"

"Help...!"

Panic was spreading.

The beings across the universes were mere spectators, all struck with a chill.

What on earth had happened?

◇

Li Changzhou and his three companions exited seclusion.

A half-year's time was just enough to digest the explosive inspiration from the initial glimpse of the 'Creation or Silence Mysterious Technique', progressing further requires endless years.

Upon exiting seclusion, they naturally began focusing on the situation in the fifth city.

"It's so eerie, they all vanished suddenly." Turquoise Pool furrowed her delicate brow, her white hair like first snow, exuding a sense of divine command.

"And it's random; regardless of whether they've eaten fish or set foot on Fog Shadow Island, they've encountered trouble." Li Qianxia visited various streaming rooms, listening to the analysis of knowledgeable streamers, and reading the comments of myriad beings.

Countless speculations, but none were actually verified.

"Huh?" Li Qianxia noticed a streaming room named "Tathagata."

She clicked in and found it was really Shakyamuni!

"Brother! Look! Buddha is live streaming!"

Li Qianxia seemed more interested in Buddha's live streaming than in what he actually said.

Who would have thought the legendary divine Buddha would become an online celebrity?

But if one lives long enough, even Buddha must conform to the times.

The four entered the streaming room, and as expected of Tathagata, the streaming room was distinct, as if one had left the fourth Holy City and arrived at the Spiritual Mountain.

The sky was full of golden clouds, countless audiences standing upon each puff.

Tathagata revealed his immense Buddha body, seated at the center, forming the Wisdom Mudra.

Yang Qinglan stood upon a golden cloud, clutching Ruyi, surveying with her eyes, softly whispered: "Power of Faith."

The golden Buddha light bathed her, making her seem like a goddess.

She scrutinized Tathagata's colossal golden body, studying, hoping to emulate.

Li Changzhou had once told her that Tathagata relied on the Power of Faith to cultivate the 'Primordial Faith Golden Body', akin to Li Huoya's Primordial Fire Tree, one of the Mortal World's strongest constitutions.

Though it requires relentless faith to prevent decline, untouched by causality, it's considered a peerless secret technique of capturing the creation of heaven and earth.

The Buddha ignored the messages and laughed:

"I am the Venerable Shakyamuni of the Spiritual Mountain's Blissful World, known as Tathagata. I have reached the Sixth Level."

The noisy crowd suddenly froze in icy silence.

Buddha continued: "I once listened to the Tao Ancestor Saint's teachings, Tao Ancestor Saint said— There's an ocean mother in the world, called the heaven-earth womb, from which all things are born, this Fifth Level is that heaven-earth womb.

"With our Heavenly Spirit Body wishing to leave the womb, only when the fruit is ripe will it fall."

After finishing, the immense golden body concealed backward, disappeared within the rolling golden clouds.

Before everyone could respond, they were kicked out of the illusion.

"That's it?"

"What was he talking about!"

"Ripe fruit falling? Is it the idea of being born from the womb? But how to be born needs clarification!"

"I thought Tathagata was virtuous, turns out he's the master of some sort of Blissful World, presumably one who maintains his nature through pleasures and indulgences in the old Heavenly Position."

"Do not speak nonsense, the Buddhist Blissful World differs in meaning from the one in your civilization's circle."

"This Tathagata is strong, already at the Sixth Level!"

"Huh, when he reaches the Seventh Level, it'll be when he loses to 'Always Invincible.'

"Though I don't comprehend, thanks Buddha, offering ten years' worth of mass faith!"

Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Turquoise Pool turned off the streaming, leaving only Li Qianxia roaming across various streamer platforms.
