Chapter 407 The Fruit of Wisdom, the Bodhi Seed

Xiao Yuanjia's red lips curled up slightly, her charming eyes filled with a smile.

Although Yan Chu was flirtatious everywhere and could be called a fickle person, seeing him patiently teasing their child still made her feel joyful.

It made her even happier than when the two of them were intimate.

Just as she was thinking this, Yan Chu turned his head and gently tilted up Xiao Yuanjia's snow-white, exquisite chin.

"What is the Empress laughing at?"

Xiao Yuanjia shook her head, her watery gaze fixed on Yan Chu, filled with deep affection.

Now that there was no one else in the hall, she took off the golden hairpin from her head. Her three thousand strands of soft black hair cascaded down to her waist like a dark waterfall. Then, her slender hands gently untied her belt, and her white palace dress slid down from her fragrant shoulders.

Her exquisite body made the dim hall dazzling in an instant, making it hard for Yan Chu to look away.

"Please have mercy, Great Khan!"

...

...

In the Western Regions, within the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, the sounds of killing shook the heavens.

"Kill!!!"

"The Ten Thousand Buddha Cave shall be destroyed this very day!!!"

Outside the originally peaceful and sacred ancestral home of Buddhism, billowing Evil Qi surged into the sky, dyeing half the horizon blood-red.

Below, hundreds of men in black fought cruelly against the Protector monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave. The clashing of weapons echoed between heaven and earth, with occasional screams ringing out, accompanied by severed limbs and splattered blood.

"Asura King, you have a lot of nerve to dare invade my Ten Thousand Buddha Cave!"

"Are you not afraid that Grandmaster Likong will wipe you all out?"

In the sky, Great Master Fayun, who had stayed behind at the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, shouted sternly. His monastic robes billowed, and his Heaven-Man aura was fully revealed.

Opposite him, a masked man with a terrifying aura stood with his hands behind his back, looking unfathomable. He was none other than the Asura King, the leader of the White Bone Asura, a powerful organization currently ravaging the Western Regions.

"Heh, Fayun, do you think I don't know that Likong is not in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave right now? In the Buddhist Sect today, besides Great Master Likong, who else can make me retreat?"

As he spoke, he raised his palm and pressed down. A terrifying pressure acted on Fayun, instantly causing his Heaven-Man physique to creak, his Divine Treasury to crack, and blood to flow from his seven orifices.

The difference in their strength was too great to be measured by logic.

"Hand over the wisdom fruit and the bodhi seed, and I shall spare your life!"

Fayun was unable to move under the pressure of the Asura King's palm and was in excruciating pain, but upon hearing this, he still gritted his teeth and spoke:

"What wisdom fruit and bodhi seed? This poor monk does not know what you are talking about."

"You don't know?"

The Asura King sneered. "Then look behind you."

Following the direction he pointed, Monk Fayun looked back and saw that several other Heavenly Kings of the White Bone Asura had already broken through the Formation within the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave and were slaughtering the many high-ranking Buddhist monks inside.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!!

The bells in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave rang incessantly, accompanied by the occasional screams of monks.

As the ancestral home of Buddhism in the world, the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave was naturally the number one Holy Land of Buddhism.

However, those who were most numerous here were not people with profound martial arts.

Instead, they were virtuous high monks who specialized in studying Buddhist scriptures. Many of them did not know martial arts, but their status and importance in the Buddhist Sect were no less than those of a Supreme Grandmaster.

These were the most precious people of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave.

"Stop!!!"

Monk Fayun nearly crushed his teeth from gritting them so hard, but he was unable to move before the Asura King. He could only watch helplessly as the people in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave were slaughtered.

As for the other Heaven-Men who had stayed behind, they had already been swatted into blood mist by a single palm from the Asura King during the first wave of the White Bone Asura organization's assault.

"There is no wisdom fruit in my Ten Thousand Buddha Cave; that is just an illusory legend!"

"The bodhi seed is carried by Grandmaster Likong. What you want is not here, and they know nothing!"

"There isn't?"

Hearing this, the Asura King's brow furrowed slightly under his mask, and he let out a cold snort.

"In that case, what use do I have for you?"

"From this day forth, the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave shall be wiped from the face of the earth!"

His voice spread, and the men in black of the White Bone Asura became even more excited, killing with even greater vigor.

The pressure from the Asura King's palm surged again. Monk Fayun's Divine Treasury completely shattered, and countless fine cracks appeared all over his body, with blood spraying out from them.

"Stop!! How dare you demons do this?!!!"

Just then, a thunderous shout rang out from afar. Over ten golden streams of light sped across the sky like comets. The leader was none other than Great Master Master Kongchan of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave.

At this moment, Great Master Master Kongchan looked furious, appearing like a wrathful Vajra. He swung down a heavy, boundless Demon-Subduing Pestle from over ten miles away, no longer showing a shred of mercy.

"Hmm?"

Black light flickered in the Asura King's palm. He swatted Monk Fayun into blood mist with one palm and then pointed a finger from afar toward the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

Bang!!!

A terrifying boom echoed through the mountains outside the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave. The ground within a hundred-mile radius sank several inches in unison.

The Asura King retreated immediately after the strike, flying back over ten miles through the air. He shouted loudly:

"Withdraw!!"

He was not afraid of Monk Master Kongchan, but rather wary of Great Master Likong.

Great Master Likong was a powerful expert in the Middle Stage of the Yuantai Realm, his cultivation second only to the former Holy Monk Liaochen.

However, it was precisely such powerful cultivation that restricted him.

Once he left the spiritual land of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, he could only walk in the form of a wooden or clay statue. He could not transform back into a body of flesh and blood to take action; otherwise, the descending Heavenly Tribulation would be enough to strike him dead.

It was precisely because of Great Master Likong's situation that the White Bone Asura organization was able to ravage the Western Regions without anyone being able to stop them.

The Asura King issued the order to retreat, but the other Shura Heavenly Kings and black-clad men who had entered the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave to carry out the massacre could no longer escape.

Great Master Likong entered the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave immediately.

His vast and boundless Divine Sense enveloped the entire Ten Thousand Buddha Cave. Even with his self-restraint, he could hardly suppress his feelings at the tragic sight within. The joy of having just found the true buddha descended to earth vanished in an instant.

"amitabha! Evil must be completely eradicated!!"

"Evil-doers and heretics deserve to be executed by all!!"

His originally compassionate face instantly became iron-blooded and ruthless. He waved his sleeves, and members of the White Bone Asura organization exploded one by one. The smell of blood within the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave grew even stronger.

Even the several Heavenly Kings in the Heaven-Man Realm had no power to resist such terrifying cultivation. The situation reversed instantly.

"Ah!!!"

"Spare our lives!!!"

At this time, even if they begged loudly for mercy, they could not change their inevitable death. In an instant, everyone died a violent death.

"amitabha! Sadhu, sadhu!"

Having killed so many people in a short time, even if they were from the White Bone Asura known for their evil, it was still a great sin for Likong, who had observed the precepts for many years.

He pressed his palms together, lowered his head, and softly chanted a Buddhist name.

Outside the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, the Asura King remained expressionless under his mask. After clashing several times with Monk Master Kongchan, he left the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave calmly.

As long as Great Master Likong did not come out, no one in the Buddhist Sect could make him stay.

As for the others from the White Bone Asura, they were naturally all buried here.

Today could be considered a situation where both sides suffered losses.

The number of monks killed or injured in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave was even greater than those of the White Bone Asura.

"I will be back!"

In the distance, the Asura King left behind a sentence and turned into a streak of black light, disappearing into the distance.
