Chapter 188: 187. The Return of the Empress
Translator: 549690339
As the young monk spoke, he raised his palm.
Under the pressure of Yanzhao’s palm, the young monk began to retreat step by step.
This retreat was eighteen steps.
With every step he took back, his power and aura increased.
Eighteen steps later, another eighteen levels of hell appeared.
The eighteen levels of hell in Yanzhao were like a tall tower.
The young monk’s eighteen levels of hell were the exact opposite. The levels were down, like an upside-down pagoda. The base of the pagoda was on top, and the tip of the pagoda was down.
After he retreated 18 steps, Yan Zhao could no longer move forward.
It wasn’t that Yan Zhao’s own strength had declined, but that the other party’s strength had suddenly soared.
When the dark Buddha formed by his palm intent opened its eyes, there was also a soul-stirring light flashing.
Yan Zhao’s heart sank.
It didn’t matter how his opponent responded to his life-risking attack. It was just that he had pushed his own strength to the limit and unleashed the strongest attack of his life.
If they could die together, that would naturally be the best.
But now, it seemed like his hopes were about to be dashed.
The other party had indeed returned the favor.
However, it was different from the Demon Cult’s Rulai Demon Palm’s Hell Step by Step.
The opponent’s Hell Step also forcefully increased the power level of his attacks, giving birth to the essence of his true form.
People at the 13th realm surpassed their limits and used the power of the 14th realm.
Speaking of which, it did not seem to be as great as the improvement of Yan Zhao’s Hell Step by Step.
However, the young monk’s face only paled slightly, and the swastika symbol on his forehead rotated much slower.
Unlike Yan Zhao, where his body was about to collapse before the attack could even land on his opponent.
The other party would not have to pay the price of his life to execute Hell Step by Step!
In fact, they wouldn’t even suffer much loss.
From the looks of it, it was only a loss of vital qi.
Although he didn’t know if the young monk could continue to use such a unique skill, at least he would still have the strength to fight after this palm strike.
Yan Zhao looked at the 18 levels of hell that hung upside down and seemed to understand something.
Back then, Sinful Monk had secretly learned the divine technique and only had a fragment. After trying to make up for it, he obtained a move that seemed to be the Hell Step.
Right now, in front of him was the complete version.
The true appearance of the Hell Step in the Tathagata’s Devil Palm.
After the two palms collided, the black Buddha formed by the palm intent of Yan Zhao and the eighteen levels of hell began to shatter!
Although they were both at the fourteenth level of power, the complete version of the Tathagata Demon Palm had brazenly broken through the incomplete manual itself.
The collision of the two palms caused a huge earthquake on the snowy plateau.
On the snowy mountain near this area, the mountain collapsed and an avalanche erupted.
The rapid river valley collapsed and the river water was buried.
The earth cracked and spread in all directions, forming many rifts that looked like angry dragons.
Yanzhao was defeated without any suspense.
Regardless of victory or defeat, his life would come to an end.
The tall and burly young body became haggard again.
Yan Zhao stood rooted to the ground. He did not feel indignant or angry. He just looked at the young monk in a daze.
“If that’s the case, benefactor, you should leave without regrets.” The other party smiled at him.
He paused for a moment and put his palms together.”This Penniless Monk also knows how to sever the Three Realms. Patron, you don’t have any chance. This Penniless Monk is just curious. Patron, where did you learn the Three Realms Severing Karma Style? Sinful Monk probably won’t.”
“I want to know how many moves there are in the complete Tathagata Demon Palm. Can you tell me?” Yanzhao asked instead of answering.
However, he did not get an answer. Or rather, he did not expect to get an answer.
After saying that, he closed his eyes calmly.
Then, there was no more breath.
A Demon Sect Elder died just like that.
The young monk shook his head. His figure passed by Yan Zhao’s body and chased after Tan Yunsheng and the others who were running into the distance.
The young monk quickly caught up to Tan Yunsheng.
However, after catching up to Tan Yunsheng, he was stunned.
After this kind-looking, smiling, and slightly plump old man sent out the message, he knew that he could not escape, so he simply stopped in his tracks.
He glanced at the Demon Sect disciples who were fleeing with him and sighed. “”You’re all good men. I’ve let you down.”
Then, he unleashed the Frost Blade.
The saber light that was like a full moon spread out with him as the center, killing all the people who followed him.
When the young monk caught up, he saw a tragic scene. Tan Yunsheng was surrounded by corpses, and he was standing quietly on the spot.
Just like Yan Zhao, there was no longer any chance of survival.
Before he died, Tan Yunsheng smiled at the young monk and closed his eyes.
For the first time, the young monk’s relaxed expression disappeared. He looked at Tan Yunsheng’s corpse solemnly. After a moment of silence, he turned around and left.
He returned to the Buddhist temple shrouded in the black lotus.
“Venerable One,” another monk from the temple came up to greet him.
“Let’s move this place. Otherwise, it might be destroyed by someone and you’ll lose your lives for nothing.” the young monk said.
His gaze swept across the temple.
It was a peaceful scene. Some locals were worshipping Buddha in the temple.
They looked no different from the Buddhist temples of the Central Plains.
But that was only the atmosphere.
If one were to see those white bone Buddha statues, blood-stained Buddhist pillars, and other evil magic tools, no one would think that this was a proper temple.
The people who chanted piously here looked peaceful and happy, but their eyes were more or less dull.
The abbot bowed to the young monk and replied, “”As you wish, Venerable
One.”
The young monk nodded and left the temple, heading west.
The young monk crossed the plateau and arrived at the edge of the flat land. He stepped into the seemingly endless snow mountains and walked all the way until he finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.
On the top of the mountain stood a black treasure tree.
The snowy mountain was pure white as far as the eye could see. Only this black treasure tree seemed to have never belonged here, but it also seemed to be the center of this world of ice and snow.
The Great Titan Temple and the Demonic Sect had explored this place before, but there was nothing special there.
At this moment, this black treasure tree seemed to have appeared out of thin air and stood on the top of the snowy mountain.
An old monk sat under the tree, meditating alone.
The young monk came before him and did not make a sound. He just stood quietly at the side.
After a while, the old monk opened his eyes.
The young monk bowed to him.
“What is it?” The old monk asked.
“Master, I met someone who secretly learned the Divine Palm. It doesn’t look like the successor of Sinful Monk. It should be an outsider who learned the Divine Palm after Sinful Monk passed away.” “Furthermore, this person knows the Three Realms of Karmic Severing,” the young monk replied.
“The complete Three Realms of Karmic Severing?” asked the old monk.
“It seems to be incomplete.” The young monk replied, ” It should be based on Sinful Dhuta’s incomplete Divine Palm. He fumbled around and created it himself. But it is indeed the Karmic Severing of the Three Realms. I think there should be other references.
“Didn’t you gather information before?” the old monk asked. The previous owner of this snowfield was a sect called the Great Vajra Temple. They cultivated the evil sect’s Vajra Fetus Formation Technique and had a martial art called the Vajra Karmic Slaying Saber. If we reverse the reference, we do have a chance to figure out the three realms of karma.”
The young monk put his palms together. ” I had the same guess. I wanted to capture him and interrogate him to confirm it. Unfortunately, he died in battle.
I was incompetent and didn’t get him alive. ‘
After saying that, he described the hell in Yanzhao.
The old monk shook his head after hearing this.
Then, he stopped talking and asked, ‘”‘ After you fight with him, can you tell whether he is from the Ancient Gods Clan? ‘
The young monk answered, ” There seems to be a martial art, the Frosty Saber, recorded in the Taiyin Scripture. They do seem to be the direct descendants of the Ancient Gods Clan, but judging from their clothes, they don’t seem to be from the Ancient Gods Clan.
According to the results of my investigation these days, although there is a force called the Demonic Sect in this world that calls itself the Ancient Gods Clan, it seems that they do not know the existence of the Mortal World. The disciple guessed that they might be a branch of the Ancient Gods Clan here.
But I’m not sure if they have a close relationship with the Ancient Gods Clan.”
At this point, the young monk’s expression darkened slightly. “” If they are closely related, Ancient Gods Clan might have gotten the Divine Palm that they stole from Sinful Monk.
” There’s no need to rush to a conclusion. Once we take down this world, everything will naturally be clear. ” ” Let’s play it safe, ” the old monk said. ‘ Let’s gather as much information as possible first. We’re still unfamiliar with this place. ‘
“Yes, Master.” The young monk put his palms together.
On the Ancient South Desolate Divine Peak, Chen Luoyang walked out of the Zhurong Burning Sky Array and instructed First Elder Xie Chong to guard the array properly and not cause any more trouble.
Then, he returned to his residence to rest.
The atmosphere on Ancient God Peak was tense.
On one hand, the day of the decisive battle between their sect master and the non-human race master was approaching.
On the other hand, the Earth Fire Lava below Ancient God Peak had gone into chaos for the second time.
Zhang Tianheng, the new Chief of the White Tiger Palace Hall, was in an extremely bad mood.
Previously, when the Cult Master went to the Northern Expedition, the Black Turtle Hall’s Chief Su Wei led a large number of Black Turtle Hall’s disciples to accompany him. Thus, the White Tiger Hall’s internal guard duty fell on the shoulders of the main altar.
Now that there was trouble again, tripping over the same rock twice, not only did Great Elder Xie Chong and Right Emissary Wang Fei lose face, the entire White Tiger Palace Hall also lost face.
Although Zhang Tianheng had just taken office and was still familiarizing himself with the environment, strictly speaking, it was understandable that something had happened. However, Zhang Tianheng himself could not accept it and regarded it as a huge humiliation.
Thus, not long after the purge from a few days ago, another clean-up was launched on Ancient God Peak.
Xie Chong, Wang Fei, Zhang Tianheng, and the others ‘eyes were almost green with envy. Everyone looked like a spy.
Chen Luoyang, who was well aware of the truth, ordered that the purge not be expanded to prevent everyone from feeling insecure and affecting the unity and daily life of the entire sect.
With his growing prestige, his confident appearance finally calmed Zhang Tianheng, Wang Fei, and the others.
However, at this moment, he received another piece of news.
The Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s Chief, Empress Yan Mingkong, had returned..
