Lingtian Plateau.
Heavenly Azure Imperial Palace.
Within the secret chamber of the secluded retreat area.
Seated cross-legged, Luo Hao suddenly opened his eyes, as if sensing so terrifying presence, his expression revealing extre gravity.
"What is ant to co, will always co."
"Heh, that old thing Xue Aogu... I should have slaughtered him sooner."
"..."
anwhile.
Summit of Heavenly Plains.
In the vast adow beneath the Sacred Tree.
The Holy Grandmother, who was tending to the flowers and plants, suddenly grew stern, her gentle gaze becoming sharp.
The nearby maidservants assisting felt uneasy, all looking anxious.
The Holy Grandmother scanned them and said lightly, "You may all leave."
"Yes, grandmother."
After bowing to the Holy Grandmother, the maidservants hurriedly departed, leaving only the Holy Grandmother alone.
Original place.
The Holy Grandmother gently laid down the scissors for trimming branches, looked up at the shimring Sacred Tree ahead, appearing thoughtful.
She could feel that the Sacred Tree was tense and afraid, with a strong sense of anger.
Suddenly, the space above the Sacred Tree began to distort wildly!
A sacred and imasurable aura flooded heaven and earth instantly.
In that twisted space, so great horror seed about to appear.
All beings in the Heavenly Plains trembled at this mont!
Suddenly, wind rose.
Several figures tore through the air at incredible speed and landed behind the Holy Grandmother.
The newcors were the Sky Mastiff Knight Commander Luo Qingyu and the Elders of the Council Hall.
"Grandmother, what's happening?"
Jian Jiu Yang stepped forward, asking first.
The Holy Grandmother only shook her head lightly, not answering.
Suddenly, she struck a palm towards the sky.
In an instant, the profound Construct Wood Power roared with her palm force, seemingly to smooth that distorted space and prevent the horror inside from appearing.
However.
Just as the distorted space was about to be smoothed out, a giant golden hand reached out, forcibly extinguishing the Holy Grandmother's Construct Wood Power!
With a crunching sound.
Countless shards of golden light floated through the sky, resembling a golden snowstorm.
A robust monk in simple robes stepped out from that twisted space, descending with the swirling fragnts of gold light before the crowd.
The monk stood over eight feet tall, with a strong and sturdy build, the hair on his seemingly shiny head was tinged with blood red, as if recently shaved.
His bare feet had yet to touch the ground when a Lotus Platform appeared out of nowhere beneath, supporting his body.
He quietly stood on the Lotus Platform, his gaze calmly eting the Holy Grandmother's.
As their eyes t, the air between heaven and earth seed to solidify.
In a quiet mont.
The Holy Grandmother spoke first, saying indifferently, "The Buddha doesn't taint earthly dust, only with a heart of killing, slaughters all beings."
"You must be the Skyless Buddha Slayer?"
"Amitabha." The Buddha Killer expressionlessly raised his right hand in a single palm salute, the Star Moon Bodhi hanging on his palm emitted a crisp, pleasant sound from collision.
The Holy Grandmother gazed at the Star Moon Bodhi, gently furrowing her brow.
The Star Moon Bodhi had been polished for countless millennia, turning completely blood-red and translucent, jade-like with cracks, seemingly nurtured by blood, its hidden murderous aura even made the Holy Grandmother's heart palpitate.
...
The Buddha Killer was not surprised the Holy Grandmother knew his background.
For as they exchanged glances, he realized he had been seen through.
The reason the Holy Grandmother could see through him was because she possessed a certain Divine Skill—the Other Eye Technique.
The so-called "Other Eye Technique" allowed one to see the origin of the other during eye contact.
Moreover, if the other's Divine Sense wasn't strong enough, or their Dao Heart wasn't steady, the "Other Eye Technique" could also show their thoughts.
The Holy Grandmother asked, "Buddha Killer enters the world, a massacre follows. So, have you descended to destroy this old woman?"
The Buddha Killer replied, "This is your massacre. If you wish to avoid this calamity, that's not impossible… You could let the souls of this Plateau bear it, and the price you must pay is this tree."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Grandmother suddenly laughed coldly.
She naturally understood the Buddha Killer's implication.
In short, the Buddha Killer was using the lives of the Plateau's beings to force her submission.
Or rather, this was a threat.
Suddenly, wind rose.
The Holy Grandmother's aged body dispersed like dust in the wind, disappearing without a trace.
The Buddha Killer paid no attention to Luo Qingyu, Jian Jiu Yang, and others, seemingly ignoring them completely. Slowly turning to gaze at the Sacred Tree, appearing thoughtful.
As the Buddha Killer pondered, the ground beneath him suddenly cracked, several wood vines flying out from within, instantly winding around him tightly.
Yet he remained unmoved.
"Om!"
He opened his mouth, uttering a mysterious, bizarre syllable, while the Bodhi prayer beads in his hand blazed with blood light, instantly reducing the wood vines binding him to ashes.
anwhile.
High in the sky above.
The surging sea of clouds suddenly revealed a massive circular hole as if torn open by an invisible giant hand!
A giant golden Buddha's palm slowly squeezed out from the torn cloud hole, descending directly towards the vast earth.
Beneath the Sacred Tree.
Luo Qingyu and others stared at the enormous palm shadow capable of gripping the entire Lingtian Plateau, their hearts filled with despair.
The invisible pressure had yet to truly descend, but it already made everyone feel chest-tight and breathless.
Among those present, not a single one wasn't a White Emperor Strong One.
Yet under this pressure, even as White Emperor Strong Ones, they felt as tiny as ants!
"Is this… Heavenly Emperor level power?"
Jian Jiu Yang tightened his grip on his sword, his gaze involuntarily shaking.
Luo Qingyu fixed her eyes on the Buddha Killer, standing on the Lotus Platform ahead, slowly extending her hand to reveal a silver bow from the Void.
The Buddha Killer suddenly turned to her, his gaze landing on the large bow in her hand.
Luo Qingyu's gaze grew sharp instantly, without hesitation she nocked the bowstring!
In the instant her jade fingers released the string, a deafening strange sound erupted from the Void and a silver light arrow appeared from nowhere, tearing through space!
However.
The arrow capable of piercing all things was caught firmly between the Buddha Killer's fingers the next mont.
"Holy Yin Tong Bow, Kunmu Arrow… divine artifact indeed, but you are too weak."
Luo Qingyu's expression grew stern, preparing to draw the bow again.
But just then, the Holy Grandmother's voice echoed in the Void.
"Xian'er, you are not his match. You all should retreat, imdiately organize the masses to evacuate the Heavenly Plains."
Luo Qingyu bit her silver teeth, her gaze icy as she stared at the Buddha Killer, "But grandmother…"
"Listen!"
Then Jian Jiu Yang stepped forward, "Knight Commander, you go organize the mass retreat, I will stay to confront this one."
"Jiu Yang, you retreat too!"
The Holy Grandmother's solemn and heavy voice echoed once more in the Void.
Jian Jiu Yang looked up at the sky, gaze on the palm descending to the earth, saying, "Grandmother, you handle that above, I'll buy you ti!"
"Jiu Yang, facing him, you will die."
Upon hearing this, Jian Jiu Yang smiled faintly, walking towards the Buddha Killer with his sword, without any fear or hesitation.
His sword did not permit him to fear before the enemy!
"Isn't living all about dying aningfully?"
"And grandmother, you too have prepared for death?"
"..."
