Just as Zhang Kui and Luo Changsheng were discussing, the scene outside changed once again.
The gigantic fortress ford by the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm fleet hovered above the sky, radiating golden light in all directions, like a god descending upon the world.
Yet this seed to have also angered so existence within the Buddha Land, as billowing black fog churned and spiraled, transforming into a vortex of black clouds that covered the entire sky.
Crack!
Boom!
Countless blood-colored thunderbolts descended, striking directly at the fortress of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm fleet, and the black Buddha corpses surging from all directions, with blood-red eyes, chanted bizarre and chaotic scriptures as they rushed towards the fortress like black arrows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of massive collisions continuously echoed, with transparent ripples scattering through the sky, accompanied by the widespread blood-colored thunderbolts, creating an apocalyptic scene.
These blood-colored divine lights were a type of mutated divine power, and although weaker than the void celestial tribulation black thunder, they were far stronger than ordinary thunderbolts.
And each Buddha corpse had been a True Buddha in life, whose physical strength, even without the drive of Buddha power, was enough to split mountains and shatter the earth.
Yet, to Zhang Kui’s astonishnt, the golden divine light array shield of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm fleet’s fortress actually withstood all the attacks.
Buzz!
A terrifying murderous intent surged, as each sword-shaped starship on the fortress humd, releasing massive sword lights that devastated the Buddha corpses.
Zhang Kui’s expression turned solemn.
The Celestial Craft Immortal Realm truly deserved to survive to this day as an ancient power, with endless trump cards. The attack power of these sword lights was not inferior to the Divine Fire Floating Cannon, and judging by the shape of those starships, they could clearly transform into massive flying swords to kill enemies.
Among the billions of cultivators in the starry sky, many possessed extraordinary talents and each had their own opportunities. He would not naively believe that only his Celestial Essence Star Realm had developed a unique system.
This was just a small battalion of the opposing side, while the real Immortal Realm still hovered outside the Colorless Star Realm, with each force powerful enough to overthrow the Celestial Essence Star Realm. It seed prudent to proceed with caution.
Thinking this, Zhang Kui’s eyes shifted slightly. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically, as the dark void within the Immortal King Tower, along with the suppressed Buddha corpses, all vanished, revealing the outside of the tower and releasing the old monk Rama from the Chaos Heaven.
He did not want the opposing party to see the interior scene of the Immortal King Tower. Due to Luo Changsheng’s presence, the Immortal King Hall was especially off-limits to anyone, so he used the Nightmare Prayer Skill for concealnt.
The Nightmare Prayer Skill was originally an astonishing illusion skill, and now that it had beco an Immortal Skill, it was all the more indistinguishable between reality and illusion.
After the old monk Rama erged, he saw himself and Zhang Kui suspended mid-air, with chaos raging not far away, yet no one discovered the two of them. Although he sensed sothing was off, he wisely refrained from using Buddha’s Eye to probe.
He could tell by now, the Celestial Essence Star Realm’s master before him, although appearing amiable, possessed astonishing cultivation and skills, and was not to be trifled with easily.
"Sect Leader Zhang, what is happening here?"
The old monk Rama asked as he surveyed the surroundings.
Zhang Kui frowned slightly, "I was about to ask you, the Buddha Land has been tainted by Black Ming King’s power, becoming a demonic realm trap. What exactly did you do back then?"
"Black Ming King?! We never set foot..."
The old monk Rama was initially dumbfounded, then a stream of Buddha light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly realized, "The old monk understands now."
"When the Buddha Land responds to disciples, every ti it reaches a star realm, it uses the Supre Buddha Power of the Paradise Realm on the outskirts to summon, and all Buddhist Sect disciples can Enter the Dream to receive the signal."
"After we heard that the Colorless Star Realm was occupied by Black Ming King, we originally did not plan to enter, but Jialan Temple had left a large amount of heritage here, insisting on checking for any surviving Buddhist Sect disciples, leading to a great calamity."
"That Black Ming King’s power must have followed the Paradise Dream Realm..."
As he spoke, the old monk Rama’s face turned extrely grim.
The Paradise Realm is the ultimate place for the Buddhist Sect in this world, the source of power. The fact that Black Ming King could invade it is chilling in its implications.
The old monk Rama’s eyes flickered indecisively, "Though Black Ming King is a Starry Sky Evil God, the Buddha power of the Paradise Realm is ample enough to grind it to dust. Sect Leader, the old monk must imdiately notify the monks to investigate this matter."
Zhang Kui nodded, "There’s no rush. With so many forces gathered this ti, the truth will eventually co to light under such tumultuous circumstances. Let’s find the Buddha Land’s Hidden Treasure first."
The old monk Rama was sowhat helpless, "Very well, as the Sect Leader commands."
This ti, the infiltration of the Buddha Land was preemptively agreed by Zhang Kui, who aid to obtain the Hidden Treasure of the Buddha Land to strengthen the Celestial Essence Star Realm, while Rama sought to uncover the truth behind the Buddha Land’s fall, eting their respective needs.
In need of assistance, Rama dared not conceal anything and imdiately bowed, saying, "Sect Leader, though every temple in the Buddha Land has hidden treasures, most are concentrated together."
Zhang Kui imdiately showed interest, "Oh, where is that?"
The old monk Rama pointed, and it was precisely at the central continent of the Buddha Land, where the golden Buddha statue comparable to Kunlun Mountain stood.
...
Since this world had been tainted by Black Ming King’s evil power, the Immortal King Tower, though able to conceal, would inevitably expose itself if it used Space Shifting. Therefore, Zhang Kui had to control the Immortal King Tower to fly.
They moved swiftly, and in a flash left behind the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm fortress, which was busy fending off attacks while advancing.
Along the way, the old monk Rama bore a heavy expression.
On the mainland, the grand temples had long been reduced to ruins. The black fog ford twisted faces screaming as they passed through, atop the ruins floated eerie black Buddha corpses, and both ordinary Buddhist Sect disciples and various spirit beasts had turned into black rotting corpses, tearing at each other.
The expansive Buddha Land continent, aside from Buddhist cultivators, was akin to the Celestial Essence Star Realm with many mundane creatures living there, and even two Buddha Countries had ford. Now, they too had fallen, with tides of black rotting corpses roiling and tearing into each other, resembling Hell itself.
Roar!
Eerie howls reverberated everywhere.
Zhang Kui noticed, amidst the hordes of corpses, there were always so entities whose black bodies gradually turned glazed after devouring many of their kind, beginning to float like Buddha corpses, chanting sinister scriptures.
And as they chanted, a faint red mist would seep out, precisely the red mutated divine power possessed by Black Ming King.
"So that’s how it is..."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhang Kui’s eyes.
Whether Black Ming King was Qianwu Immortal Monarch or not, it remained inextricable from its essence as an Evil God, enslaving and manipulating the blood and Divine Souls of all beings.
The Dark God, Red Pigeon, Blood God, were all similar, though Black Ming King went a step further by refining corpses to create a new race, perhaps even leveraging Buddha Sect’s power.
He could already imagine, when entering the Colorless Star Realm, being beset by overwhelming hordes of fanatic demon corpses.
At the sa ti, they also noticed the forces of the Deceitful Immortals and Star Pirates.
The Deceitful Immortals side, however, was an old acquaintance, seeing True Monarch Ying Hai with a dark expression, trudging forward along with nurous Deceitful Immortals summoning a terrifying Black Tide.
The Underworld abominations and the Demon Buddha Corpses were evenly matched. They devoured each other as blood and flesh blurred skyward, with blood rain falling amidst eerie chanting and piercing howls.
Comparatively, the inexhaustible Underworld abominations, quickly grew under the Deceitful Immortals summons, yet likewise turned to ashes under the blood-colored lightning.
The Star Pirates squad, on the other hand, seed rather tragic. Despite the Divine Fire and Immortal Light nearly burning through the sky, they had fallen on hard tis, with heavy casualties and had signs of wanting to flee.
Rama’s voice turned urgent, "Sect Leader Zhang, if the Hidden Treasury falls, we must leave imdiately, for all three factions have supre attacking treasures that, upon realizing things are amiss, could destroy the entire Buddha Land."
"Alright..."
Zhang Kui nodded, imdiately increasing speed.
Soon, the majestic golden Buddha statue of the central continent was right before them, each tuft of hair resembling a small hill, sleek and clean as glass, with golden scriptures engraved on every inch.
"What a marvel, you folks sure aren’t afraid of hard work..."
Zhang Kui shook his head in disbelief; he had thought they were ordinary mountain stones, only to find they were wholly refined, with the scriptures likely carved by countless monks.
The old monk Rama’s eyes dimd, "This Buddha Stone was discovered in the void, although not made of Divine Materials, after eons of being imbued with the Buddha power of countless monks, it has already beco a treasure, blessed by the Paradise Realm’s power, making it the core of the Buddha Land."
Glancing around, slightly surprised, he continued, "Despite most of the Buddha treasures being polluted, the evil power of Black Ming King didn’t taint this place, possibly owing to not detecting the Hidden Treasury’s concealed space... Sect Leader Zhang, please follow ."
Saying so, he led Zhang Kui to a giant treasure vase held by the Buddha statue.
With his left hand forming a Dharma Seal, he chanted scriptures, evoking an indescribable power from the void that instantly made the two vanish...
And no sooner had they left, the Star Pirates, overwheld, fled the Buddha Land in a panic.
Soon, from the center of the Star Pirate fleet remaining on the outskirts, ca a cold reprimand: "Fools, don’t fear being ridiculed by those Celestial Craft Immortal Realm folks. Hmph, if we can’t have it, neither can they..."
"Prepare the bait, utterly destroy this Buddha Land!"
