387: Little Black Arrives

"Junior Brother Wisdom, this is not about swallowing our pride." Changsheng Ancient Buddha shook his head slightly.

"To fight to the death with an entity of unknown origin and unfathomable strength is by no means the best strategy.

Once a full-scale Buddhist war begins, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. The Western Regions Buddhist Sect will suffer heavy damage to its Origin Qi, and we fear we might be taken advantage of by others."

"Then, in your opinion, Senior Brother, should this matter just be let go?" Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha asked angrily.

"Let it go? Impossible."

The scenes of the Universe being born and destroyed in the eyes of the Extinction Buddha accelerated.

"We must have our revenge, but we need to change our approach. We must both display the thunderous fury of our Buddhist Sect and avoid a direct confrontation with that mysterious entity too soon."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Buddhas present, and slowly revealed the true plan:

"Ling Canglan of Lingxiao Holy Land and Ji Qingyi of Yaochi were ambiguous in this matter, actually helping that Battle Asura to besiege Ku Xuan. This is an open provocation against our Buddhist Sect!"

"Especially Lingxiao Holy Land; we shall use it to establish our prestige!"

Wisdom Buddha's eyes flashed with a light of wisdom: "What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

"Junior Brother Demon-Subduing, you should rest for three days. Three days from now."

Changsheng Ancient Buddha's voice suddenly rose. Every word was like a thunderclap, exploding in the Secret Realm, containing the supreme will of a Quasi-Emperor:

"You shall take the great sun demon subduing pestle, the Emperor Magic Treasure, and lead ten Great Saints to Lingxiao Holy Land in person!"

"With the might of the Buddha Emperor Magic Treasure and the momentum of ten Great Saints, go and demand an explanation!"

In the Secret Realm, the aura of slaughter and the Buddha Emperor Might intertwined, causing the Void Realm to tremble.

"Demand an explanation from Ling Canglan as to why he colluded with the enemy of the Buddha to besiege Ku Xuan!"

"Demand that Lingxiao Holy Land give our Western Regions Buddhist Sect an explanation!"

Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha's eyes burst with terrifying brilliance. The phantom of the Vajra around him roared at the sky. He stood up abruptly, one palm held vertically before his chest, his voice like a great bell.

"I will respectfully follow Senior Brother's decree! If that Ling Canglan is sensible and pleads guilty, hands over the culprit, and cripples his own cultivation, perhaps we can leave a thread of incense for his sect!"

Changsheng Ancient Buddha nodded slightly, the light of wisdom swirling in his eyes, as he revealed the deeper intention of this plan:

"If he refuses to submit, then we shall use thunderous momentum to raze Lingxiao Holy Mountain to the ground in front of his many peers in the Central Region!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Void Realm trembled, as if it had already foreseen the scene of destruction.

"First, we demand an explanation openly and honestly. If Lingxiao Holy Land is executed, the whole world will know the consequences of angering our Buddhist Sect!"

"Second, we can avoid a direct conflict with that mysterious expert. Our Buddhist Sect's Emperor Magic Treasure arriving in person to demand an explanation from Lingxiao is a cycle of Karma."

"Even if that mysterious entity has some connection to Lingxiao, it may not necessarily start a direct war with our Quasi-Emperor and ten Great Saints."

"Third, it is also a test. If that mysterious expert truly intervenes regardless of the cost, our Buddhist Sect is not comparable to Glazed Holy Land."

"With Junior Brother Demon-Subduing's Quasi-Emperor cultivation, the Emperor Magic Treasure, and ten Great Saints, even if we are not a match, retreating back to the Western Regions shouldn't be a problem. At that time, whether to fight or negotiate, the initiative will be ours!"

Extinction Buddha looked at the Buddhas, his voice carrying the calmness of someone in control of everything:

"Regardless of whether that mysterious entity remains in hiding, is forced to appear, or Lingxiao is destroyed, our Buddhist Sect is already in an invincible position."

"Excellent! Senior Brother, this plan is brilliant; I am convinced! I will go and prepare now. Three days later, I will definitely raze Lingxiao Holy Mountain!"

Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha's voice was like a great bell, his killing intent almost solidifying, and he turned to leave.

However, the moment he finished speaking.

"A decent plan."

A cold, calm, and indifferent voice rang out without warning in this isolated Void Realm of the Secret Realm.

This voice was not loud, but it was like an invisible ice pick that instantly pierced through all Buddhist rhythms and Restrictions, clearly entering the ears of every Quasi-Emperor Ancient Buddha!

"Unfortunately..."

The voice paused slightly, carrying a hint of mockery.

"You have no chance left."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Mount Sumeru Ancient Monastery, no, the entire Western Regions Buddhist Nation, shook violently!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, seemingly from the primordial era, descended like hundreds of millions of Chaos divine mountains, firmly locking down the entire Buddhist territory!

In the Secret Realm, the expressions of Changsheng, Wisdom, and Vajra Demon-Subduing changed abruptly.

The other two Ancient Buddhas with ancient auras woke up simultaneously from their deepest state of meditation!

"Who is it?!"

Changsheng Ancient Buddha's cloudy Buddha eyes shot out terrifying brilliance, and the silent Quasi-Emperor aura around him erupted, stirring the winds and clouds of the Secret Realm!

He looked at the Void Realm in disbelief, trying to capture the source of the voice.

To be able to silently penetrate the layers of Restrictions in the Secret Realm and directly enter their minds—such means were simply unfathomable!

"Is it the person behind that Battle Asura?!"

The composure on Wisdom Ancient Buddha's face vanished instantly, replaced by a trace of horror.

"How could he arrive so quickly?! We just finalized the plan, and he already knows?!"

Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha was even more furious, his hair standing on end, the Vajra phantom around him roaring:

"You coward hiding your head and showing your tail! How dare you spy on our Buddhist Holy Land!"

The five Ancient Buddhas in the Secret Realm rushed out of the Secret Realm together and looked up at the sky.

They saw a figure standing quietly above Mount Sumeru Ancient Monastery.

There was no light flowing around him, yet he radiated a monstrous aura that made even the Divine Soul of a Quasi-Emperor tremble! It was Little Black, transformed into human form!

"What kind of monster are you! Daring to trespass on our Buddhist Pure Land! You are simply courting death!"

In the ancient monastery, a Great Saint Realm Protector Vajra reacted first, eyes wide with anger, soaring into the sky, bringing with him the light of the Buddha, and smashed fiercely towards Little Black!

Dozens of Saint King Realm Bodhisattvas also attacked simultaneously. For a moment, Buddhist seals, Zen staves, and lotus phantoms swept towards Little Black like a violent storm!

Facing this offensive that was enough to crush a Great Saint Peak, Little Black didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Noisy." He moved his lips slightly and spat out two cold words.

"Puff!" Like a candle flame blown by an invisible wind.

The Arhat Vajra who rushed forward first, as well as the dozens of Bodhisattvas and Venerables who attacked from behind, their bodies, Divine Souls, Magic Treasures, and even their attacks.

Under the horrified gaze of all the monks, they silently turned into the finest dust and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Not even a ripple was stirred.

The entire Mount Sumeru Ancient Monastery, with its tens of millions of monks, felt as if their throats had been strangled, looking in horror at the black-robed figure in the sky.

In the snap of a finger, they were wiped out! What kind of means was this?!

"Form the array! Quickly form the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array!" A Great Saint roared hoarsely.

In an instant, powerful auras erupted all over the ancient monastery, countless monks returned to their positions, and majestic Buddha Power gathered.

A huge phantom of ten thousand Buddhas began to condense in the air, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting resounded through heaven and earth!

Vajra Demon-Subduing Ancient Buddha stared fixedly at Little Black. Although there was a trace of fear in his eyes, there was more fury and killing intent at having his lair intruded upon.

"Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect you to dare to step into the fundamental land of our Buddhist territory yourself!"

The Quasi-Emperor aura around him erupted without reservation, connecting with the auras of the other four Ancient Buddhas, drawing upon the ancient Power Of Faith accumulated by the entire Western Regions for eternity.

In the Void Realm, a phantom of the demon subduing pestle, wrapped in endless Buddha light, faintly appeared. It was the projection of the Buddhist Sect's Emperor Magic Treasure, the demon subduing pestle!

"Outside, I might fear you by three points!"

"But here, gathering the incense and faith of my Western Regions for ten thousand ages, and with the blessings of past Buddha ancestors! Today, I will ensure you never return!"
