At Ba’s command, the war god Xingtai brandished his shield and ax and rushed out.
“Oh no! Help me!” Brahma’s expression changed.
Shiva’s and Vishnu’s expressions changed as they rushed over.
The three attacked together, throwing punches. Their fists enlarged and rushed towards Xingtian’s ax.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as a large black hole appeared where the four fought. Xingtian held up his ax, fixed in place. The clash blasted Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu away; blood covered them as they evinced horror on their faces.
……
“That’s impossible! That’s impossible! Even Sect Master Heavenly Access could not beat the three of us when we worked together. How can you…!” Brahma exclaimed.
Countless citizens and soldiers in Divine Farmer City goggled.
Not long ago, these three divine cultivators had forced Sect Master Heavenly Access to retreat. However, they could not last one move against the war god Xingtian?
“Humph!” Xingtian glared and stepped forward.
Then he swung his huge ax again.
“Combination attack! Combination attack!” Shiva shouted.
The three understood Xingtian would cut them down with an ax strike each if they moved independently, so they rushed forward.
Boom!
Another loud report rang out.
Blargh! Blargh! Blargh!
The three vomited a mouthful of blood each as they flew back, their clothes tattered, and blood sprayed out.
“That’s impossible! That’s impossible!” As the three felt their fists numbing, their faces paled in horror.
Far away, the Future Buddha appeared anxious. “Where’s the Lord Buddha? Has the Lord Buddha sent word?”
The buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats shook their heads while looking at one another in fright.
They all watched as the war god Xingtian alone suppressed Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva into helplessness. The countless monks felt shocked and horrified while the citizens inhaled sharply.
“Kill them! Kill them!” Jingwei urged with hatred on her face.
Xingtian swung his ax again.
Boom!
The attack knocked the three back, despite them combining their powers.
Ba stood at the carriage’s entrance and watched coldly, not saying a word.
A purple-clad general stood beside her. This general had a bow on his back and ten arrows in his quiver. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Xingtian, can you do it or not? You are taking too much time. Do you need my help?!”
Everyone turned their head and looked, appearing shocked and horrified.
Xingtian already displayed overwhelming might. Those three had dealt a great defeat to Sect Master Heavenly Access, but he suppressed them and caused them to vomit blood. It looked like they could not last for long. He truly lived up to his fame as a war god.
However, someone disdained him for being slow, saying he was taking too much time?
Such a person must have similar strength to be qualified to say such words.
“Hou Yi, there’s no need for you to mouth off. Her Reverence punished you to reflect on your actions. You won’t have an opportunity to make a move!” Xingtian shouted coldly as he attacked the three.
[TL Note: Hou Yi is another Chinese mythological figure. In Chinese mythology, Earth had ten suns that took turns appearing in the sky. However, all ten suns decided to appear together, no longer willing to take turns. The story ended with Hou Yi shooting down nine suns. Here is the Wikipedia entry on Hou Yi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hou_Yi.]
“Hou Yi?” The eyes of some of the old officials in the city brightened as they broke out in a loud commotion.
“I recall now. My grandfather mentioned him. He is the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s Archer God Marquis, Archer God Hou Yi. He later served the first princess too. He is Archer God Hou Yi!” an official said in shock, his eyes lighting up.
“Hou Yi?” The Future Buddha’s expression changed.
“Lord Future Buddha, what should we do now?” the bodhisattvas asked anxiously.
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva cannot last for much longer, although Ba has yet to make a move. What should we do?
“Amitābha!”
A Buddhist greeting suddenly rang out.
“Jiang Gautama’s voice?” Jingwei’s expression changed, showing great hatred.
A bright golden light suddenly flared to the west of the city. A three-kilometer-tall Present Buddha dharmic incarnation suddenly appeared, looking like a golden buddha.
“The Lord Buddha?! The Lord Buddha is here!” Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva immediately felt joyful.
“Salutations, Lord Buddha!” The Future Buddha rejoiced together with the bodhisattvas, bowing to that dharmic incarnation.
Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation had arrived.
“Greetings, Yan Imperial Emperor!” Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation said with palms held together.
“Hah! Jiang Gautama? To think you have the cheek to appear before us?” Ba said coldly.
When Xingtian saw Ba speak, he stopped and looked coldly at Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation.
“Yan Imperial Emperor, my subordinates are ignorant and unaware. Do forgive them if they offended you,” the Present Buddha’s dharmic incarnation said gravely.
“Since they offended me, they have to pay the price. We gave them a chance, but they remained reckless, so they should not blame anyone. The same goes for you. We will give you one chance. Scram immediately, or you can forget about leaving!” Ba said coldly.
“Yan Imperial Emperor, you can’t say that!” Jiang Gautama wanted to negotiate.
However, Ba did not have any patience to waste time on words.
“Humph!”
As Ba snorted, she suddenly extended her slender arm, thrusting her hand towards Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and smashed her palm down.
Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation’s expression changed. “How audacious!”
As Jiang Gautama roared ferociously, he threw a palm strike, wanting to stop Jiang Ba. His palm gave off a bright golden light.
However, Jiang Gautama’s palm could not make it in time. When Ba’s hand pressed down, a giant flaming palm appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
“Don’t!” the three roared with horror on their faces.
Boom!
A loud report rang out.
Strangely, space remained intact. The ground around Divine Farmer City trembled intensely before the flaming palm disappeared. This palm had crushed Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva into meat paste.
Meat paste?
Gasp!
Countless soldiers, officials, and citizens in the city inhaled sharply.
Even the pupils of Gu Hai, in the Divine Continent’s cardinal north position, constricted.
Those were Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—experts who had defeated Sect Master Heavenly Access—yet Ba only used one palm strike to crush them into meat paste?
“This is the consequence of not listening to us. Humph!” Ba snorted coldly.
Countless Buddhists in the city were shocked. Ba dared to kill Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva before the Present Buddha. Such dominance and strength cowed everyone.
Remain?
What a joke! The bodhisattvas and arhats turned and ran in horror.
“Isn’t it too late to think of running now?” Xingtian snorted coldly as he ferociously swung his ax.
A manifested ax rushed out, carrying a destructive conception, and instantly arrived at the fleeing Buddhists.
“Don’t!” The Buddhist disciples appeared shocked. It looked like Xingtian would kill them.
“How audacious!” Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation’s eyes blazed with rage.
He had failed to save Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva earlier and was furious from embarrassment. Now, Ba’s side wanted to push it further?
Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation put in more effort, determined to save the Buddhist disciples this time.
However, Ba smiled coldly. “We have already given you face.”
As Ba spoke, she extended an exquisite, slender arm to grab Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation.
The face of Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation sank as he sensed a threat. His enormous palm diverted towards Ba.
However, another fiery-red palm appeared out of nowhere when Ba moved her hand. This manifested hand was simply gigantic, much larger than Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as boundless flames erupted in the surroundings.
The flaming hand grabbed Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation.
“What?” Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation’s expression changed.
Ba sneered, “We said it earlier, if you are not leaving, then you can forget about leaving. Humph!”
The flaming hand clenched.
Boom!
Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation exploded.
Exploded? He exploded?
Countless citizens and officials appeared shocked.
Crown Prince Jiang Gautama is already very powerful. To think he is not even worth a strike before the first princess, exploding with one grab?
That was Jiang Gautama’s dharmic incarnation!
“No!”
The fleeing Buddhist disciples fell into despair. The Present Buddha’s dharmic incarnation could not even last one strike against Jiang Ba. Just imagine the depths of despair they felt.
Boom!
Xingtian’s ax arrived, instantly crushing all the Buddhist disciples into pieces.
Divine Yan Hall’s entrance:
The Buddhist disciples who had not fled gaped in shock, paling in horror.
When Ba appeared, she seemed invincible. Who could stop her? She felt unrivaled in the world; even the Present Buddha’s dharmic incarnation could not do anything.
Could not do anything?
What…what should I do now?
She told me to get lost earlier. Why didn’t I get lost?
The Buddhist disciples were horrified.
The Future Buddha felt incredibly shocked. He had not seen Ba’s strength before. Earlier, he thought he could stop her. Now, that thought seemed laughable.
“The Lord Buddha is not coming?” a bodhisattva said as his expression changed dramatically.
Jiang Gautama already knew what was happening here. If he could come, he would have rushed over instantly. However, he was not here.
“Don’t tell me even the Lord Buddha has to run when facing this Ba?” an arhat exclaimed in horror.
Indeed, Jiang Gautama did not come to save them.
“Did the Lord Buddha give up on us because we are facing Ba?” a bodhisattva said in horror.
Give up? The Lord Buddha gave up on us?
Shock filled their hearts.
“Yan Imperial Emperor, we offended you earlier. We are willing to apologize and offer compensation!” the Future Buddha yelled.
“Kill them,” Ba said indifferently.
“Yes!” Xingtian answered.
The expressions of the Future Buddha and the others changed dramatically. She is not even giving me a chance before calling for my death? Furthermore, she did it so casually, not even letting me plead for mercy?
Everyone felt that Ba meant what she said. If she wanted one to die, one had to die, no matter what.
Just as Xingtian was about to step forward, the Future Buddha suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
“Huh?” Ba looked at the Future Buddha coldly.
Ba had pushed the Future Buddha into a corner. He could either stand there and let himself get killed or resist. Since Jiang Gautama no longer cared about his survival, he could only fight.
“Ba, I’m going to leave. Don’t force me to go down with you. I have the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation. Don’t force me to open my eyes,” the Future Buddha said coldly.
Ba said coldly, “Kill.”
“Yes!” Xingtian answered and wanted to charge over.
The Future Buddha’s expression changed dramatically. Ba does not care? She still wants to kill me?
“You forced me into this. Since I have to die either way, I’ll pull you down with me!” the Future Buddha said ferociously.
As the Future Buddha spoke, he held his palms together and slowly opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, a destructive aura came from his eyes. Space seemed to crumble when that destructive aura appeared. That aura seemed to tear space, destroying everything before it, including Divine Farmer City.
The World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation was one of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s three great secret techniques. When the eyes opened, it purified the world, destroying everything.
When the great destruction approached, countless citizens were terrified.
“The World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation?” Ba revealed a faint, disdainful sneer.
Then she extended her right hand again and gently stabbed her fingers at the Future Buddha.
Buzz!
Two flaming fingers appeared out of nowhere. Everywhere the fingers reached, they seemed to push back the destructive aura of the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation. Even the torn space was restored.
The two fingers pushed the destructive aura back into the Future Buddha’s eyes with a puissant force.
Phish! Phish!
The two fingers stabbed the Future Buddha’s eyes.
Time seemed to freeze as everyone stared at the Future Buddha in shock.
That was the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation, yet Ba forced it back with two fingers and blinded the Future Buddha! That was not the crucial point. Most importantly, she even forced the destructive energy back into the Future Buddha’s body!
Boom!
A loud report rang out, and the Future Buddha exploded into millions of fragments scattering in all directions.
The explosion maimed the Buddhist disciples beside him.
The Future Buddha? His World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation destroyed him?
The two flaming fingers vanished, and Ba looked coldly at Divine Farmer City.
“Surround Divine Farmer City. Kill all Spirit Mountain Holy Land Buddhist disciples; spare no one!” Ba said calmly.
However, this calm tone sounded replete with boundless murderous intent to everyone.
“We obey!” the three-million-strong army responded as one.
