Chapter 954: Wicked Buddha Sect, Ident.i.ty Revealed, Defeating Hui Fa
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the Resentful Buddha’s enchanted boundary, Hui Fa slaughtered the other Immortal Progeny sky-prides. Given his strength, no one in the expedition party was his match, not even a Supreme Immortal Progeny.
D*mn it! We are going to die if this continues!”
“Is this really the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk? That’s no holy monk. That’s a wicked one!”
‘The Guqin Crown’s daughter, Xue Qinxin, was struck and sent flying backward by the Buddhist Light. After that, she got up on her feet and went to Chu Kuangren. “Brother Chu, follow me! I’ll use the power of the Immortal Bloodline, and we will break out from this enchanted boundary.”
‘As the Guin Crown’s daughter, she also possessed the Immortal Bloodline like the Saber Lord.
Chu Kuangren took a glance at her but did not say anything.
At that moment, Hui Fa had killed several more cultivators and was closer to them. When he heard Xue Qinxin’s suggestion, he grinned and said, “You won’t have the chance to.”
He raised his hand, and the enormous golden palm fell from the sky.
Everywhere the palm struck trembled violently.
Xue Qinxin was locked on by the energy of the golden palm, and her face turned slightly pale. Given the distance, she did not have enough time to channel the power of her Immortal Bloodline.
Just when she thought it was the end for her, a sword ray flashed from her side and slashed the golden palm in half.
Hui Fa was sent flying ten meters backward by the sword qi, visibly shocked.
“This sword qi… King Immortal Progeny?!”
Shaken, Hui Fa stared at Chu Kuangren in surprise.
“As the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk, you could have continued on the path of a Buddhist, and yet you chose the wicked path. Are you out of your mind?” Chu Kuangren said as he slowly stepped forward.
Seeing his figure standing up against Hui Fa, a hopeful look appeared in the crowd’s eyes.
“He fended off Hui Fa with a single slash? He must be a King Immortal Progeny! This is great. We are saved!”
“No. Even if he’s a King Immortal Progeny, Hui Fa has started his Immortal Path. Will he be Hui Fa’s match?”
Some of the Immortal Progenies dared not place their hope on Chu Kuangren.
The others who heard such comments got anxious and nervous as well. After all, those who had started on the Immortal Path could be considered a half-Immortal.
“You are something else indeed. Unfortunately, I’m already a half-Immortal, and you are no match for me,” Hui Fa said as he glared at Chu Kuangren.
Then, he took a step forward. The rampant Emperor qi that had gone through the lighting tribulation trial gushed out like a geyser and fused into the Buddhist Light. As his aura surged, he appeared like a majestic Buddha with boundless powers.
“Grand Brahmic Heavenly Palm!”
Hui Fa’s palm strike called upon the golden Buddha palm from the sky. This time, it was even stronger than the one before.
“Fool.”
Chu Kuangren remained calm. His source energies appeared one after another and circled around him in the form of Immortal Sparks.
The Descendant Self Sword then unsheathed itself with a clunk.
‘As the sword struck out, many more sword qi, buffed by multiple source energies, surged out. Wherever it went, violet lotuses bloomed, and its sharpness was undefendable.
The scene astonished the cultivators from Dragon Cry Sword Orthodoxy.
“This is the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent!”
“It’s the Sword Crown’s Thousand Lotus Sword Intent. How does he know it?!”
The others were also left in awe.
When the Buddha palm and sword qi collided, two powerful forces clashed and caused the entire void to tremble.
However, the sword qi gained momentum even after the clash and slashed the enormous golden palm in half.
Hui Fa was, once again, sent flying backward.
“Impossible! How can you possess such power? Have you started on the Immortal Path? No, that can’t be right. I can’t feel the presence of the lightning tribulation trail from you. You shouldn’t be on the Immortal Path yet.
“But how? How is it possible for you to possess such terrifying source energies? And its attributes are so complex. What is going on?!”
Hui Fa was stunned as he stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
Chu Kuangren chuckled at Hui Fa’s words.
On the Immortal Path?
No, he had not started the Immortal Path. He had not even started to gain insights into his source energy, so how could he be on the Immortal Path?
In fact, he created his own source energy, which was something more difficult than becoming an Immortal.
2
Yet, to the ma.s.ses, a cultivator who had not started the Immortal Path was no match for those who had started.
However, that was just the ma.s.ses’ opinion and knowledge.
Chu Kuangren was good at shattering general opinions and expectations.
Although he had not created his own source energy, he could still use and channel other source energies. The Flame Source, the Freezing Dao Source, the Sword Source, the Devouring Source, the Raw Physical Source, the Moon Source, and so on.2
With all those source energies combined, how could he be weaker than a half-Immortal?
“Hui Fa, you think you are better than your peers and the younger generations just because you’ve started on the Immortal Path? Well, too bad you miscalculated something — an anomaly,” the Sword Crown said behind Chu Kuangren.
‘As an Immortal himself, the Sword Crown barely knew Chu Kuangren’s true strength as well. The man had not started on the Immortal Path, yet he possessed even more terrifying combat strengths than a half-Immortal, not to mention the many source energies that he possessed.
It was inconceivable!
D*mn you! Resentful Buddha Avatar!”
Hui Fa took a step forward. His body emanated rays of Buddhist Light, and somehow, the rays of light were dyed red.
b.l.o.o.d.y-red Buddhist Light appeared and transformed into a Buddha Avatar.
‘The Sword Crown behind Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised at the appearance of the avatar. “No wonder it looks so familiar. It’s actually the long-forgotten inheritance of the Wicked Buddha Sect. Tsk tsk, interesting. To think the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk got the inheritance of the Wicked
Buddha Sect.”
Wicked Buddha Sect was an old immortal orthodoxy. It was eliminated by a coalition of orthodoxies because the way it operated was freakily abnormal. The one who led the coalition was none other than the first generation abbot of Golden Ridge Temple.
Now, the Golden Ridge Temple’s Holy Monk had gotten the inheritance of Wicked Buddha Sect.
It was ironic, to say the least.
Hui Fa channeled the Immortal Technique of the Wicked Buddha Sect to cast the Resentful Buddha Avatar. The Resentful Buddha sculpture that absorbed the Life Blood Essence earlier shook a little before it flew behind Hui Fa and merged with the avatar.
‘The Immortal Weapon and Immortal Technique combined, boosting Hui Fa’s powers to a whole new level.
“You know the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent. And you have the presence of a foreigner… If Iam correct, you should be the infamous Chu Kuangren who has been gaining attention lately,” Hui Fa said coldly.
“Tam.” Chu Kuangren had no intentions to hide either.
The spiritual veil on his face dissipated and revealed a handsome face that put the sun and moon to shame.
“So he’s Chu Kuangren….” Xue Qinxin stared at Chu Kuangren’s face, stunned. Thoughts were running wild in her mind.
A heated discussion also started among the others.
“Chu Kuangren, the foreigners who killed several enforcers from the Holy City and the Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Divine Bachelor.”
“It’s him. He really does live up to the rumors.”
The b.l.o.o.d.y Buddhist Light around Hui Fa continued to swirl, making his handsome face look bewitching. “Foreigner, I have to admit that you are strong. But now, with my Immortal Weapon and Immortal Technique combined, I really want to see what kind of tricks you have to fight me.”
Then, the Resentful Buddha Avatar behind him moved. Its eyes opened, and its right hand showed a Shuni Mudra gesture before it attacked Chu Kuangren.
The b.l.o.o.d.y Buddhist Light shone brightly and flooded towards Chu Kuangren like a tidal wave.
Chu Kuangren remained still in front of the terrifying Buddhist Light. The source energies around him swirled, and two Dao Proclamation Seals appeared. As they fused with the Heavenly Dao energy, he performed another strike.
‘The vast sword ray erupted, and everywhere it went, violet lotuses bloomed in its trail.
A loud explosion later, the b.l.o.o.d.y Buddhist Light was slashed in half like a torrential wave. The sword ray struck the Resentful Buddha Avatar and cut it open.
The attack separated the Resentful Buddha sculpture from the avatar, and it flew out of the avatar amidst the explosion.
“What?!”
Hui Fa was shocked. He did not try to retrieve his Resentful Buddha sculpture. Instead, his body transformed into a blood -colored flash of light, and he tried to flee the scene.
“Hehe, trying to escape?” The Sword Crown chuckled and wanted to intercept his escape.
“Let him go,” Chu Kuangren said.
“This guy has the inheritance of Wicked Buddha Sect, and there are still some secrets to him. If we kill him now, it’s a little bit of a waste. I’m looking forward to the fun he will bring in the future..”
