Chapter 2337: Destruction of the Western Paradise
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Countless Heavenly Demons were still plummeting toward the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Glazed Palace that was located inside the Purple Star ruins. However, as these Heavenly Demons collided into the supremely powerful demonic intent that was radiating from the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Glazed Palace, most were directly obliterated and crushed into nothingness.
Six peerless Heavenly Demons formed a formation and charged at Cyril, yet they were instantly slashed to death by Cyril’s powerful sword strike.
Cyril was at the pinnacle of the G.o.d of Creation Stage, and no being with form could hope to rival his formidable might. He was a paramount divine being, and he was powerful enough to peer down at all the beings in the world.
“This Heavenly Demon Tribulation is seemingly limitless, and if it continues like this, there’ll definitely be a tremendous loss in life. We have to defeat this tribulation as soon as possible,” Cyril said with a solemn expression.
He wasn’t afraid of the Heavenly Demons attacking him, but he was afraid of the Heavenly Demons attacking the other more vulnerable people. That would be an unimaginable catastrophe.
Chen Chen was also extremely worried. In fact, he had even used his Eye of the Internal Universe to observe this tribulation. However, he was still unable to find any solution.
“Perhaps the solution to defeating this tribulation doesn’t lie in the Purple Star ruins?” Chen Chen said with a deep frown. The more he pondered over this, the more likely it seemed.
However, if the solution genuinely wasn’t in the Purple Star ruins, then the situation would be much more terrifying. After all, they couldn’t navigate too far away from their current spot. That being the case, who still possessed the ability to defeat this Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao?
This was a huge dilemma. Although this tribulation could be defeated, those who possessed the ability to defeat it were all trapped in a figurative cage. As they were unable to battle against this tribulation, they were naturally unable to defeat this tribulation.
Chen Chen activated his Eye of the Internal Universe again, using it to observe the boundless universe and the infinite stars. He gazed at the Kingdom of the Nine States, and he also gazed at the sky surrounding it. This expanse of sky was also br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the power of the tribulation, yet strangely, there didn’t exist a solution to defeating the tribulation.
“It’s actually not in the Kingdom of the Nine States?
“Could it be…”
Chen Chen’s gaze swept to the west, eventually arriving at the Buddhist Kingdom of the West. His pupils immediately contracted, and a stunned expression spread across his face. “Why is it… in the Western Paradise?!”
Upon hearing this, Cyril’s expression also changed slightly.
“Western Paradise? The region with the second-largest human population?”
The Kingdom of the Nine States was located in the east, and the Western Paradise was located in the west. These two regions housed the most powerful human civilizations.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of the Nine States was more powerful than the Western Paradise. Cyril and Chen Chen had initially thought that the Heavenly Demon Tribulation was targeting the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect. Unexpectedly, however, this tribulation was targeting the Western Paradise!
Was it purposefully targeting the weakest region?
Or was this tribulation trying to kill as many humans as it could, so it was starting from the weakest region?
Chen Chen discovered that he couldn’t understand the Heavenly Dao’s train of thought.
However, he was certain that the Buddhist Kingdom of the West was going to face the most brutal catastrophe in its history. After all, it was far too lacking in powerful beings at this moment. Its defenses were far inferior to that of the Kingdom of the Nine States, which was being guarded by the Four Nine Immortal Sect!
In the far west of the Tai Chu Continent.
There was a land of joy and bliss.
The monks here all lived a pure and enjoyable life. This was a region of many benefits, and this was also a region where humans showed the most kindness and compa.s.sion.
At this moment, however, the paradise was no more.
There was a web of black fractures in the shattered sky, and these fractures shredded the Buddhist halos in the sky.
Giant blobs of black ink that were dotted with eyes dripped down from the black fractures, transforming into countless powerful monsters that wantonly attacked and killed the monks.
These were Heavenly Demons that even the Buddhist halos couldn’t purify and guide. Their eyes were filled with nothing but destruction and bloodl.u.s.t, so the monks had no option but to pick up their weapons and fight.
Unfortunately, however, the Heavenly Demons were far more powerful than the monks. In fact, even the weakest Heavenly Demon was already at the Soul Formation Stage. Moreover, there were large numbers of Return to Void Stage Heavenly Demons wreaking havoc through the largest cities of the Buddhist Kingdom.
When the peerless Heavenly Demons descended, it was more so as if they had entered a land of no opponents. Each of their attacks was able to transform an entire city into a h.e.l.lish land of chaos and destruction.
Blood flowed through the lands, and wails of agony and torment suffused through the sky.
Hundreds of millions of mortal humans were transformed into nothing but victims waiting for slaughter.
Even the powerful Bodhisattvas and Buddhas could barely protect themselves.
At this moment, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth suddenly started to wail.
This was a sign that a supremely powerful Buddha at the Dao Integration Stage had been killed!
“Bodhisattva Maitreya has been killed…”
“No… that’s impossible… He’s our future…!”
“How can this be…? Why is it like this? Is our paradise going to be destroyed?”
Some of the monks were sobbing as they gazed at the deadly phenomenon throughout heaven and earth.
The sky was roaring with purple flames, and it was as if these flames wanted to extinguish the wailing of the Great Dao that was triggered by the death of a Bodhisattva. Meanwhile, three peerless Heavenly Demons who had their colossal wings unfurled were wearing a cruel grin as they looked at the fractured Undying Golden Body before them. This Bodhisattva was already devoid of all vitality.
One of the peerless Heavenly Demons raised its bloodied scythe, and its voice boomed through the entire heaven and earth.
“The most powerful being of the Buddhist Kingdom has already been killed! Now, the rest of you can prepare to be ma.s.sacred!
“We’ll leave no monk alive, and we’ll leave no human alive!”
The Heavenly Demons became fervent with excitement upon hearing this.
They roared with excitement, and they started to kill their victims with even more vigor and violence.
The sky had already become inky black, and it had also descended until it was closer and closer to the earth. It was as if it wanted to crush all of the millions upon billions of beings in this region to death.
Different from the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Purple Star ruins, a colossal black hole had also appeared above the center of the Buddhist Kingdom of the West.
This black hole seemed like the lair of the Heavenly Demons, and countless Heavenly Demons were currently surging out from this black hole like a swarm of locusts. There were large numbers of colossal Heavenly Demons in this swarm, and there were also several peerless Heavenly Demons.
This was a genuine catastrophe; this was an unblockable catastrophe!
If this continued, the once prosperous Western Paradise would be completely annihilated in less than fifteen minutes!
“Sigh… the most blissful land in the world is about to transform into a h.e.l.lish land of death and destruction…” the Enlightened Being shook his head and said with emotion.
His stance was absolutely neutral, and he had no intention of helping even as he watched the once blissful land being transformed into h.e.l.l.
“Such a large number of Heavenly Demons… By the looks of it, there are even more Heavenly Demons here than in the Kingdom of the Nine States… The Buddhist Kingdom of the West can’t rival these Heavenly Demons, even if their power rises by twofold…” The Enlightened Being shook his head as he a.n.a.lyzed the situation. He sighed with emotion, and it was clear that he didn’t see any hope for the Buddhist Kingdom of the West.
However, his expression suddenly faltered, and he looked toward places that were located beneath the black hole in the sky. A dazzling gleam slowly appeared in his eyes.
“This… this is…”
Heavenly Demons were wreaking havoc, and a Bodhisattva had been killed.
The world was crumbling, and the Western Paradise had been transformed into h.e.l.l.
At this moment, however, a gigantic golden symbol suddenly appeared on the earth!
This Buddhist symbol stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, and it emanated with an aura of great benevolence and immense virtue that shook the entire heaven and earth.
Boom!
Boundless golden light erupted from the earth and directly soared into the sky, stirring up the heavens and shredding the inky black matter in the sky. This golden light manipulated heaven and earth in a forceful manner, and it transformed the entire sky into an expanse of golden Buddhist light!
A calming voice that was filled with an aura of vitality and enlightenment started to suffuse through heaven and earth.
“Namo Amitabha…”
