Chapter 634: 592 Second Coming 6
Quickly stepping into the mansion, Zhang Rongfang soon found a hall resembling a command center of the White Ten Sect in a courtyard showing the most signs of use.
Stacks of documents and books were piled on the built-in shelves against the walls.
Around them, various styles of Western armor were displayed. Clearly, the controller here was someone with a great love for armor.
Zhang Rongfang walked to the only large wooden table in the hall and picked up a document from it, flipping through it a few times.
’What is it?’ Bai Lin asked curiously. She couldn’t understand the foreign language.
’An action guideline, similar to a divine oracle, supposedly content transmitted from deities and Buddhas.’ Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly. This was encrypted text, and it wasn’t the kind he had learned.
He could only infer the general meaning from the annotations and additional notes inside.
He could somewhat understand the annotations written in West Yi language.
’The annotator is Kosimov, the heretical judge of the White Ten Sect. And... it also mentions that their invasion involved multiple collaborations.’
Zhang Rongfang’s brows furrowed tightly.
’So, there really is a conspiracy here!’ Bai Lin became excited. ’Quick, see who the other collaborators are??’
Zhang Rongfang put down the document and quickly flipped through others.
But none of the documents mentioned cooperating forces, instead, they were filled with the judge’s chaotic poetry.
For example, ’I am your eyes, your nose and mouth, your heart.’ ’I see the black night, it is the field of vision untouched by gods and the unremoved dress of yours.’ ’No matter where you are, you can always bring me comfort, no matter where you are, memories of you always bring me sweetness.’
Opening the drawer, Zhang Rongfang also found a wooden violin inside.
’Someone’s coming!!’ Suddenly, his expression shifted, his eyes grew serious, and his figure transformed into a blood shadow, fading away at the spot.
The entire hall fell silent once more.
Not long after.
Boom!!
The door was violently smashed open.
Two bald, muscular men abruptly stepped onto the floor, draped in gold and red cassocks, eyes like torches, scanning everything inside.
One of them was short and fat like a ball, the other tall and strong, three meters high like a tower.
These were Yuan Shi and Yuan Hong, hurriedly returning to ambush Zhang Rongfang.
When they followed the judge and others on a raid, they suddenly received a distress signal about an attack at the rear port.
White Ten Sect, being a large sect of divine status, naturally had its exclusive, secretive communication methods.
By the time they received the message, fighting had already started over there, making it hard to divert attention.
The judge entrusted the two to return to prevent Zhang Rongfang’s escape and ensure his capture.
What the two didn’t expect was that upon their return, they found something amiss.
Not one of Citong’s guarding saints was left.
’The people and aura are gone, and the great array has signs of being breached. It seems... the visitor is not friendly...’ Yuan Hong said in a deep voice.
’I have long said, leaving some trash here is inherently a risk. Do they think our Great Spirit is just anywhere? Just with this little manpower, they want to guard Citong? Laughable! Truly frogs at the bottom of a well!’ Yuan Shi was, as always, sharp-tongued.
’The documents show signs of being flipped through!’ Yuan Hong came to the table, frowning as he flipped through them.
’The person left not long ago. Should have sensed us coming.’ Yuan Shi sneered. ’You go gather a few people and question them. See what exactly happened.’
’Alright!’ Yuan Hong’s expression shifted slightly, and he sprinted out of the gate.
Leaving Yuan Shi standing alone, surveying the surroundings, finding nothing more, he turned to walk outside.
Shush!!
Just as he turned.
A massive blood shadow silently shot out from the corner behind him.
The blood shadow solidified, revealing Zhang Rongfang’s dark red figure.
He spun his entire body, his clawed hand rising sharply, striking fiercely towards Yuan Shi’s neck from behind.
This strike was incredibly fast.
The Blood Race ancestor’s innate ability for super-speed movement, combined with the terminal-style divine speed, and the blood manipulation-assisted leverage acceleration.
The speed boost brought him instantly behind Yuan Shi.
Yuan Shi’s first response to enemies and his instinctual alertness as a top-tier Spirit General and Grandmaster simultaneously emerged at this moment.
He sprinted forward, trying to evade the ambush, but the attacker behind seemed to predict his choice and sped up as well.
Taken by surprise, Yuan Shi bellowed in his heart, opening the terminal style, his form rapidly swelling and enlarging.
But halfway through his transformation, his entire body suddenly shuddered, spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood.
Thud!
A massive force slammed into the center of his back.
He avoided the critical neck hit, but couldn’t dodge the force on his back.
Boom!!
Yuan Shi’s entire body shot out of the hall like a cannonball, smashing through the courtyard wall in front, rolling and flying out, crashing into the ground before breaking through the base wall of an inn across the street.
In an instant, smoke and debris scattered, obscuring vision, blurring the scene.
The blood shadow slowly landed, retracting his hand, revealing Zhang Rongfang’s satisfied expression.
’Why face him head-on when you can ambush? See, isn’t the effect good now?’ he said with a smile.
But nobody was around to talk to him, and from afar, he seemed to be talking to himself, like a lunatic.
With a muffled thud, the ground exploded, and Zhang Rongfang took a step forward, charging towards Yuan Shi’s aura once more.
At the same time, a massive figure over five meters tall also charged out from the smoke, rushing towards him.
Zhang Rongfang, in his terminal form, was also five meters high.
Standing at equal height, the two simultaneously threw punches towards each other.
Clang!!!
In a deafening metallic crash, both stepped back several paces, leaving deep pits under their feet.
’Such great strength!!’ Zhang Rongfang’s expression shook. He knew that now with his innate ability of natural giant strength, he had acquired a terrifying power even Auduna couldn’t fully withstand.
But Yuan Shi, even so, could match him evenly.
Although it was partly because he hadn’t activated the Blood Lotus, it was still quite remarkable.
’Again!!’ he growled lowly.
The three Blood Lotuses bloomed simultaneously.
This was the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown!!
Zhang Rongfang’s body quickly expanded like inflating.
Five meters!
Seven meters!
Nine meters!
Ten meters!!!
Bang!!
He slammed down his palm fiercely at where Yuan Master was.
The palm alone was two meters wide. With one strike, combined with innate tremendous power and super speed, it came down in unison.
From a distance, this palm seemed like a scarlet waterfall, entwined with a multitude of blood pythons, descending swiftly.
Boom!!!
Yuan Master had long initiated the final form; at this moment, his whole body resembled a massive ball of flesh, with dense black hair sprouting on the surface, his arms entwined with dragon-shaped black veins.
Seeing Zhang Rongfang charging at him, he initially planned to take the blow head-on and forcibly capture him.
He immediately unleashed his full power.
The ultimate skill belonging to the West Sect True Buddha Temple, True Demon Suppressing Skill, erupted simultaneously.
As the abbot and strongest of the True Buddha Temple, he had already cultivated the True Demon Suppressing Skill to its highest level, stacking several Extreme States together.
"Final Form True Seal: Buddha’s Light Universal Salvation!!"
With a sharp tearing sound, numerous pale flesh tentacles extended simultaneously from Yuan Master’s back.
Puchi!!
All the flesh tentacles extended forward, their tips turning slightly black, stabbing fiercely toward Zhang Rongfang.
From a distance, it truly appeared as if a white beam of light was being unleashed.
Halfway through the move, he realized that the Zhang Rongfang opposite, who was just as tall as him, was...
He had actually... grown even bigger!
And this time, he had grown to an absurd size!!!
Puff puff puff puff puff!!!
The numerous tentacles fiercely pierced into Zhang Rongfang’s descending palm.
But soon they reacted with corrosion against the blood in his palm; however, the tentacles were clearly not pure Spiritual Lines but were mixed with fleshy impact.
The immense power at this time was no less compared to Zhang Rongfang.
The two of them were locked in a stalemate above Yuan Master’s head.
Yuan Master, surprised at Zhang Rongfang’s height, quickly grew colder and more murderous in his gaze.
"You think size matters?? Ridiculous!"
Among the Spirit Generals and Gods, the demon-suppressing power he possessed was unmatched, yet the opponent dared to directly confront him. Absurd!
Boom!!!
Before his words fell, another huge hand came striking from the left.
Yuan Master, having anticipated it, blocked with both arms to the left.
Once again, a mass of air burst between the two, creating a noise so immense that it would deafen an ordinary person’s ears, shaking the stones on the ground around them to quiver.
"Foolish!! Even if I’m injured, I’m not someone like you...."
Before he could finish, a third massive hand swept in from the right.
Yuan Master widened his eyes, unable to block it.
Boom!!!
He was forcefully squeezed between the two massive hands.
Immediately, he spat a mouthful of blood, drawn away by the invisible force in the air.
At the same time, all the blood inside his body seemed to be pulled by this force, wanting to fly outwards.
He found it unimaginable that his strength, claimed to be the greatest divine power in the Great Capital, would encounter an adversary here!!
Even though he was initially ambushed and injured, this was...
"Great Descent of the Divine!!!"
Finally, he hesitated no longer and shouted loudly.
Thump.
An invisible ripple suddenly spread from his body.
The ripple, like a spring breeze, softly swept over everything around. In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped a thousand meters around.
’Lay down the butcher’s knife...’
’Lay down the butcher’s knife...’
’Lay down the butcher’s knife...’
Soft murmurs continuously echoed beside Zhang Rongfang’s ears.
His killing intent began to dissolve, the desire to slaughter quickly fading away.
The voice of the white scales gradually became distant, until it was entirely inaudible.
’What is the meaning of life? Birth, aging, illness, and death, wealth, power, beauty, ultimately, all reduced to a pile of white bones...’
’Better to convert.’
’Better to convert.’
’All things in the world are illusory, all for the desires of the heart. Rather than that, why not follow your true heart from the beginning, searching for the ultimate bliss...’
The blood lotus and the final form on Zhang Rongfang’s body began to fade and retreat.
Unconsciously, when a shock passed through his mind, realizing something was amiss, he snapped back to reality.
In front of him was not a single shadow left.
Yuan Master had long fled. In the farther distance, animals, soldiers, and even hiding civilians had all stepped out of their hiding spots, smiling softly, sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting Buddhist scriptures in low tones.
The scene was quite horrifying.
’You finally woke up!!’ The voice of the white scales returned to his mind, filled with terror.
Only then did Zhang Rongfang realize, without knowing when, he had automatically exited the blood lotus and final form state, sitting cross-legged on the ground just like everyone else, almost starting to chant along.
’What happened to me just now!?’ He jerked in terror, stood up, and looked around.
’Just now, you and Yuan Master were both sitting cross-legged on the ground, both struggling. However, Yuan Master broke free a step before you and ran away. You were the only one left.’ The white scales quickly explained.
’Both of you were trapped in the divine power domain of a God-level!! It’s terrifying!! The divine power of the Tathagata, combined with the extreme power of the Great True Spirit Universal Salvation Dharma Aspect!! If you were to break free any later, you both would have become fools who can only chant!’
’Even Yuan Master couldn’t withstand it??’ Zhang Rongfang widened his eyes.
’Of course, the Great Descent of the Divine at a God level is terrifyingly powerful, often indiscriminately affecting everyone. Otherwise, why do you think there are so few spirit generals at a God level? Even among them, only the first Spirit General stands out. The others are subordinate Celestial Gods of Spirit Flying Heaven.’ The white scales quickly explained.
Zhang Rongfang exhaled a long breath.
’Luckily, I was wise enough to initiate a surprise attack first. Unfortunately, he still managed to escape.’
’Previously, when Yuan Master escaped, not even the entire Reverse Timing Society could find him. The Grand Teaching Alliance was secretly cooperating but couldn’t capture him. His escape ability is incredibly strong, achieving this much is already impressive.’ The white scales replied.
’Leave here first!’ Zhang Rongfang looked around and saw that clergy from the White Ten Sect were also approaching here, walking and smiling peacefully, chanting some unfamiliar Buddhist scriptures.
This scenario was simply terrifying.
He dared not linger, and with a leap, transformed into a blood shadow, flying away swiftly.
