Chapter 2402 Eighteen Desire Realms, Ancient Sarira, Oldest Buddha's Power
"I am enlightened…"
Buddha Emperor and the others looked at Chu Kuangren with nothing but gratitude.
One more step, and they would have fallen into the eternal abyss of self-doubt and destruction.
It was Chu Kuangren who enlightened them and pulled them back from the trance.
Some with stronger cognizance even benefited from his words.
"Chu Kuangren! Your eloquence is as good as your Sword Dao."
Papiyas feared Chu Kuangren even more now.
The man before his eyes was always able to surprise him. Papiyas revealed the true nature of Buddha to impact the Daoist core of the Buddhist cultivators, and he almost sent all of them into an eternal cultivation funk.
If it were successful, he could wipe out the Heavenly Buddha Pure Land with ease, followed by all Buddhists of the Infiniverse.
However, Chu Kuangren had ruined his plans with just a few words.
The man was indeed an uncontrollable variable.
"You're too kind with your praises," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
He simply took Papiyas' words as a compliment.
Yet, as soon as he said that, Papiyas released an extremely powerful aura.
All the Monarch Avatars that Chu Kuangren summoned were destroyed by a blast from the energy.
Even Chu Kuangren was pushed back.
"Oh? Unlimited Great Dao energy…" Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes.
He sensed that Papiyas had connected himself to a Great Dao in the space between Daos, and endless Great Dao energy fueled his body.
It was more powerful than the Doomsday Darkness he once faced before.
"Chu Kuangren, let me show you the true power of the Desire Buddha!" Papiyas said.
He grabbed the void. Endless Great Dao energy drowned Chu Kuangren instantly and formed numerous strange scenes around him.
Gu Linglong appeared before him. "My dear."
Even Lan Yu was there. "Master."
Then, multiple women whom Chu Kuangren knew started to appear around him.
There was Mingyue Wuxia, Chu Hong, Hun Meier, Shang Honghua, and even the Devil King.
They became the most seductive succubuses to seduce Chu Kuangren. Their enchanting looks, aromantic body scent, and beautiful figures could charm any man in an instant.
Chu Kuangren, however, reacted coldly to them.
"Papiyas, what else can you do other than illusions?" He swung his sleeve, releasing a shining light from his Daoist core.
His Daoist core shed light on the land, river, and mountains.
It was so powerful that nothing could penetrate it or shake it.
Papiyas scoffed.
Suddenly, Gu Linglong, Lan Yu, and the others approached Chu Kuangren and then transformed into skeletons to attack him.
"My dear, I'm suffering!"
"Master, please die with me!"
"Little one, we can't win the Infinity War. Let's just die."
Beautiful women transformed into skeletons in the blink of an eye.
This time, it was no longer just illusions.
Each skeleton carried tremendous powers that could defeat a common Monarch easily, and they attacked Chu Kuangren ferociously.
Chu Kuangren's gaze grew cold.
He swiped his sword hand sign in the air.
"Buzz!"
Crushed by the sword qi, the first skeleton exploded into a cloud of mist.
The other skeletons were also destroyed by the indomitable power of the sword qi.
"Hmph! All Desire Eighteen Realms!"
Papipas channeled the Unlimited Great Dao energy and formed a massive tower in the air. The tower had eighteen floors, and each floor represented the desire of humans.
There was the desire for power, love, food, hatred, materialism, and more.
Eighteen different desires formed a tower of eighteen floors, attempting to crush Chu Kuangren.
Its sheer power alone caused the void to collapse and the universe to shake.
A sliver of the tower's energy could transform a world into the Desire World Sky, proving how terrifying it was.
Yet, all eighteen floors of the tower were now targeting Chu Kuangren.
The pressure that he faced was self-explanatory.
"It seems like I have to use the Human Ancestor's sword," Chu Kuangren murmured.
Only by using the Human Ancestor's sword and connecting to the Sword Great Dao for the Sword Twenty-six could he block the tower's influence.
However, before he could draw his sword, the prize that he got, the Ancient Sarira, buzzed and released endless Buddhist Light from his body.
The Buddhist light shone across the universe and shocked all the other Buddhist cultivators at the scene, including Buddha Emperor.
"That's the oldest Buddha!"
Even Papiyas was shocked. He glared at Chu Kuangren and bellowed, "Buddha?! That's Buddha's power! How do you have his power?"
The Buddha he referred to was the original Buddha, one of the Primal Gods.
That was when Chu Kuangren realized the Ancient Sarira he got a while back was the Buddha's sarira.
A sarira was the crystallization of a Buddhist cultivator after death.
If he got the sarira of Buddha, did it mean that Buddha had died?
Chu Kuangren pondered but was not overly concerned about it.
He used the light released by the sarira and pointed his sword hand sign forward. "Immovable Enlightenment King's Sword Seal, Endless Sin Repentance!"
The Immovable Enlightenment King's Sword Seal was an ultimate-level cultivation technique of the Buddhist world. Chu Kuangren fused it with his Sword Dao and transformed it into Sword Twenty-five.
Now that he had activated that technique using the sarira's energy, he was able to release the technique's full potential.
It might have even surpassed its creator.
A massive Buddha avatar wielding a demon-subduing sword appeared behind Chu Kuangren, swinging the sword downward at the tower.
The sword qi was boundless, and the golden Buddhist Light shone across the universe.
The slash could cut off all sins from the universe.
"Bang!"
When the ultimate-level cultivation technique clashed with the All Desire Eighteen Realms, the holy Buddhist Light and the chaotic desire clashed like good versus evil.
The clash between two powerful techniques pushed Chu Kuangren and Papiyas back.
Papiyas was shocked. "How? How did you acquire his powers? Impossible!"
With a grim expression, he raised his hand to use another powerful attack from the Desire Buddha.
Desire from all over the universe gathered and transformed into tens of thousands of crimson blades.
Chu Kuangren also pointed his sword hand sign up. "Golden Defense!"
Using the Immovable Enlightenment King's Sword Seal as a defense, endless mantras appeared and formed layers of golden barriers to block the incoming blades.
"Universal Purification!" Chu Kuangren followed up with another attack.
Tens of thousands of sword qi that he released contained vast Buddhist energy.
Papiyas tried to block it but was still astonished by Buddha's energy on Chu Kuangren, which distracted him.
As he quickly fell into a disadvantage, Chu Kuangren seized the chance to follow up with more attacks.
"Grand Dragon Elephant Force!"
The ultimate cultivation technique of the Buddhist world was cast, and the Buddhist light on him shone to its brightest level.
In the void, a dragon and elephant conjured and went after Papiyas.
"Bang!"
Papiyas's expression turned pale after being struck.
He was sent flying more than a hundred meters away. The Great Dao in his body was shaken, and the Desire Buddha energy felt like it was leaking.
"I must leave!"
Papiyas controlled the Desire Buddha energy in him and changed his mind.
Chu Kuangren's strength was immeasurable, and he possessed the Buddha's power. Papiyas had no idea what else he had under his sleeve.
If Papiyas continued fighting, he might not be able to escape in one piece.
