Chapter 1775: Chapter 844: The Buddha Falls! (Part 2)
Then, they all bowed and said:
"We obey the Demon Emperor’s command!"
"We obey the Demon Emperor’s command!"
...
After dealing with the Burning Sky Demon Domain, several Demon Gods surveyed the surroundings and, confirming the Demon Domain was sealed, left without any worries.
Approximately an hour after their departure, a fire raven that had previously escaped fluttered its wings and landed here, its feathers appearing as if they were ablaze.
It had a flat beak and red feet, and its eyes glimmered with a spirituality that other fire ravens did not possess.
After glancing around, the fire raven suddenly emitted a dense crimson light, which intensified and within moments transformed into a human-sized figure.
As the flames gradually dissipated, the fire raven vanished, replaced by a figure.
This person’s stature was tall, about nine feet, with a robust physique, every inch of skin seemingly burning with flames, covered in strange fiery red patterns.
Aquiline nose as sharp as an eagle, he exuded an intimidating presence despite his neutral expression, giving off an ingrained sense of wickedness, his fiery red hair flowing with the wind.
Yet it couldn’t overshadow his indifferent expression, as if concealing a hell within, profound and unfathomable, seeming to see through worldly affairs and able to discern all secrets of the world.
At first glance, he instilled fear in others.
His aura was even more mysterious, standing there, like an ordinary man, but even walking past him one couldn’t detect his presence.
The eerie man clenched his fists tightly, a faint smile playing on his lips:
"The Immortal Domain... I see it’s been sealed!"
Had he not sensed the current aura of heaven and earth, Fen Tian Demon Emperor would never have left the Burning Sky Demon Domain, as he dreaded the mysterious Immortal Domain.
Two thousand years ago, he fought against a presence in the Immortal Domain, ultimately being besieged and seriously injured by its formidable forces, and had to feign death to escape their detection.
After rigorous cultivation for over a thousand years, he monitored changes in the heavens and earth periodically, and upon sensing the aura of the Immortal Domain, returned to the Demon Domain by means of the Demon Clan’s Demon Gods.
Now, he was utterly sick of staying inside.
In his view, everything was red, and after a thousand years, had it not been for his resolute mind, he would have long gone mad.
As for his name, the Demon Clan actually knew nothing of it since the title of Demon Emperor was self-appointed; he was once called Chi Yan Demon Emperor!
With a slight twist of his neck, Fen Tian Demon Emperor took a deep breath, speaking to himself in ecstasy:
"The aura of the Human World, indeed profound, after a thousand years, it’s time to look at this world anew, hmm... perhaps... also time to settle accounts with that entity in the Immortal Domain."
The reason he feigned death was due to a powerful Immortal Venerable back then; now, he had reached that same realm, and if this vengeance isn’t fulfilled.
It leaves him feeling unsettled.
Furthermore, he seeks to emulate the Martial Emperor, breaking the shackles of the Human World, surpassing the Six Realms, and becoming truly Undying, eternally transcendent.
Even ascending to the true Immortal Domain.
But before that... he must first turn the Human Race into Demon Clan’s slaves, thus, truly emulating that Martial Emperor, making his former identity among the Holy Clan worthwhile.
The Martial Emperor rose to power by stepping over the corpses of the Demon Clan.
He must likewise step over the corpses of the Human Race to ascend to the top!
Fen Tian Demon Emperor lifted his head, the flame in his eyes growing increasingly fierce.
...
Western Regions, deep in the void.
"Ah!!!"
"Ah....."
The Martial Divine Rules continually erode the Primordial Spirit of the Buddha; even at Earth Immortal level, the Buddha couldn’t withstand this terrifying assault, fearing not pain.
But fearing death.
After hundreds of years of cultivation, reaching Earth Immortal, standing atop the Human World, on the brink of longevity and entry into the Immortal Domain, yet... falling at this moment, who could truly remain indifferent?
If he were, he wouldn’t repeatedly play underhanded, ally and unite to stage an ambush against Chen Yuan with the Northern Barbarian Prairie’s Barbarian God in the Western Regions.
Chen Yuan watched quietly, without intending to deliver a finishing blow.
At this rate, the Buddha wouldn’t last thirty breaths.
To him, witnessing an ordinary person perish holds no meaning.
But the Buddha is different; apart from his position as the master of Spirit Mountain, Earth Immortal cultivation, his actions on Purple Gold Mountain once greatly shocked Chen Yuan.
Now, watching those once high and mighty gradually die by his hand.
The sense of achievement is unparalleled.
Of course, this does not mean Chen Yuan doesn’t desire to chase after Huang Ji who just fled; he’s simply exhausted.
To fight two opponents at once and ultimately kill one was already his limit, leaving substantial injuries, chasing further couldn’t catch the enemy.
Better to preserve strength, as there is plenty of time and means to deal with him later.
Threatening Huang Ji wasn’t falsehood; Huang Ji wouldn’t be able to kill him even if he continued the attack, but he’d pay an unimaginable price.
It’s just not worth it.
Being able to slay the Buddha is already a rare achievement.
Once he absorbs the Qi Fortune from him, gains new opportunity guidance, Chen Yuan hopes to reach the Late Stage of Human Immortal, which would amplify his power to terrifying Earth Immortal Late Stage levels.
A clean sweep of the Human World would virtually have no obstacles.
Huang Ji....
Only mid-stage Human Immortal, at that time, finishing him will take little effort, including the thousand-year threat in the Central Plains, the Northern Barbarian Prairie!
"King Yan...."
Just as the Buddha was about to perish, Moluo finally traversed over a hundred miles of void to arrive; seeing the Buddha’s gradually weakening aura relaxed him.
The reason he didn’t assist Chen Yuan before wasn’t out of unwillingness, but he couldn’t watch the old Heavenly Master perish, and given his strength, even if he went, might couldn’t change the battle.
Instead, first killing Ge Mu Barbarian God, pressing the Buddha alongside another Earth Immortal.
Facts proved his choices weren’t entirely wrong.
"The senior’s prowess has elevated once more." Chen Yuan smiled lightly.
Though separated by hundreds of miles, he sensed the motion in another location, knowing Wu Feng Barbarian God died by Moluo’s hand, Ge Mu Barbarian God fell under his pressure.
Truly deserving the title Unbeatable below Earth Immortal; granted, if not including him.
"What about the other one?"
Moluo shook his head with a smile, inquiring about Huang Ji’s whereabouts.
"He fled for fear of you, senior, perhaps now seeking refuge in the Northern Barbarians."
"Should we pursue?"
"The vast void makes finding him akin to searching for a needle in a haystack; for now, spare his life, let him live a bit longer, later, when our armies march north, we’ll settle accounts! King Yan refuses to accept more Northern Barbarians appearing as powerful figures!"
Chen Yuan snorted coldly.
"That’s wise." Moluo nodded, then fell silent, refocusing his gaze on the Buddha with a slightly complex expression.
Once upon a time, he was the most valued disciple of the Buddha, even possibly inheriting the position of Buddha, but alas, life is unpredictable, differing paths cannot be reconciled.
Separated by the Buddha into Primordial Spirit and flesh, suppressed for over two hundred years as atonement and a cautionary tale of heresy.
Ultimately, he broke free while the Buddha met his nemesis.
Can’t help reflecting deeply.
"Chen Yuan.... you demon.... don’t be too arrogant.... wait... for the Immortal Domain’s descent..... Randeng Ancient Buddha’s return.... definitely... cast you into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.... never to be reborn...."
The Buddha’s expression contorted, cursing Chen Yuan’s future fate.
"Hehe, what a pity you won’t witness it, and... weren’t you hoping for Buddhist teachings to spread worldwide? King Yan shall extinguish Spirit Mountain entirely, redefine its doctrines.
You.... in future Buddhist history, are the true heretic, demon."
"You...."
The Buddha reached his limit, failing to utter final words, perished with regret, dissipating into the heavens and earth.
Spirit Mountain Buddha, mighty Earth Immortal, fallen!

Good night.
