Chapter 2339: Appearance of the True Buddha, Destruction of the Catastrophe

The Heaven Crushing Spell Formation was spread over a large expanse of heaven and earth, causing the Heavenly Dao to shatter and the world to slowly sink.

Meanwhile, golden light suffused through the sky over the Western Paradise, and this golden light even illuminated the night sky of the Tai Chu Continent.

Countless powerful beings looked toward the Western Paradise, with their faces filled with expressions of shock and disbelief. They hadn’t imagined that such a profoundly powerful being would appear at this time.

The Enlightened Being was also immensely shocked.

He had watched the catastrophe befalling the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, and he had also concluded that the Buddhist Kingdom would be destroyed in less than fifteen minutes. Unexpectedly, however, that palm—just a single palm—had easily defeated the catastrophe brought about by the destructive Heavenly Demons. That palm had completely turned the tables!

“Is this the Sakyamuni Buddha?”

The Enlightened Being had a stroke of enlightenment as he gazed at the colossal projection in the sky and as he gazed at the golden lotus that the Buddha projection was sitting on.

“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is… Transforming into a lotus using one’s own body and silently waiting for karmic fate to befall…

“No wonder he’s been lying low this entire time. As it turns out, he was waiting for today to arrive. He made such a huge sacrifice, and it was all for the result of today?”

The Enlightened Being sighed with emotion. At the same time, he also felt profound respect toward the Sakyamuni Buddha.

However, he didn’t really understand the notion of sacrificing oneself to save others. Wasn’t pondering over philosophical questions every day enjoyable? Why sacrifice one’s time to do this kind of thing? The Enlightened Being couldn’t wrap his mind around this.

However, this didn’t stop him from respecting the Sakyamuni Buddha. After all, those who could make such a huge sacrifice were all extremely wise beings.

The Sakyamuni Buddha had succeeded!

At almost the same instant.

The squirming black ink above the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Purple Star ruins suddenly shuddered violently. They then stopped squirming, and they were instead slowly absorbed into the Heavenly Dao.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu, who were currently being pummeled by two peerless Heavenly Demons, were completely stunned as they gazed at the weakening Heavenly Demons. They then glanced at the faint golden light traveling over from the west, and only then did they come to a sudden realization.

However, before they could even react, the two howling and indignant peerless Heavenly Demons had already been directly absorbed into the sky, vanishing into the pitch-black fractures.

Similar situations were occurring all throughout the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Purple Star ruins.

In less than fifteen minutes, all of the Heavenly Demons had already vanished without a trace.

The great catastrophe passed, and the Kingdom of the Nine States finally returned to normal.

The cultivators gazed up at the sky, and for the first time, they finally felt that the clear sky was so beautiful and precious.

In the Purple Star Pavilion of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

On the spell altar in the center of the plaza.

Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and she finally relaxed her body slightly. She smiled faintly and said, “By the looks of it, those God of Creation Stage divine beings haven’t abandoned their homes. The Buddhist Kingdom of the West has turned the tables and won the battle!”

In the central region of the Purple Star ruins.

The expanse of black ink that was dotted with eyes slowly shrank back into the Heavenly Dao. All that it left behind was a land that was ravaged and destroyed.

A look of delight spread across Cyril’s face, and he said, “We’ve succeeded.”

Chen Chen nodded and said, “The Sakyamuni Buddha, the True Buddha of the Buddhist Kingdom, appeared to turn the tables and defeat the Heavenly Demon Tribulation.”

Cyril sighed with emotion, saying, “What a truly powerful being. He even schemed against the heavens. The most powerful spears often have the most fatal weak points. The Heavenly Dao thought that the Buddhist Kingdom of the West would be the weakest and easiest region to destroy, yet as it turns out, the Sakyamuni Buddha had already been planning for this day since long ago. He was waiting for the Heavenly Dao to target the Buddhist Kingdom…

“It’s thanks to the Sakyamuni Buddha that the Heavenly Demon Tribulation is defeated. He has helped us immensely!”

Cyril, the First Heavenly Disciple, was in an extremely good mood at this moment. There was a joyful and appreciative smile on his face.

An ally had suddenly appeared and defeated the tribulation that had troubled him and Chen Chen so greatly. Thus, how could he not be in a good mood?

Chen Chen was also feeling extremely thankful. “Although crushing the heavens is a matter for the Heaven Crushing Sect, protecting the world has always been a task that everyone is involved in and responsible for.”

The seventh tribulation, the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, had been successfully defeated!

Cyril’s black and white Heaven Crushing Spear continued to pierce deeper into the Heavenly Dao. Half of the spear had already pierced into the shattered Heavenly Dao, and it was clear that they had already reached the final stages of crushing the heavens.

The black veined patterns of the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation started to become increasingly profound and pitch-black. Not only were they blanketing the sky and the earth, but they were even becoming thicker and expanding into more branches. In fact, these veined patterns were such that one couldn’t even tell the difference between the fractures in the sky and the veined patterns of the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation. The two were different, yet it was as if they were slowly fusing together.

A black particle started to materialize in Chen Chen’s hand.

This was a pure black, and this was a paramount black. This black particle was like the only remaining matter after the destruction of all matter in the world. This black particle could be infinitely small, yet it could also be infinitely large. In fact, everything would appear to be void and null before this black particle, regardless of whether they possessed a form or not.

“Heaven Crushing Technique—Dark Dao Particle!”

Chen Chen tossed the black particle toward the sky.

The Dark Dao Particle rapidly shot into the sky, eventually disappearing into the horizon.

The members of the Heaven Crushing Sect faltered upon seeing this. Just as they were starting to feel confused about why Chen Chen’s spell technique wasn’t doing anything, an expanse of darkness suddenly enveloped the entire sky.

Boom!

The Dark Dao Particle had suddenly exploded!

This was an expanse of darkness that could even engulf light, and it rapidly engulfed all of the surrounding space, energy, and even time and nomological laws.

In fact, even ordinary Return to Void Stage cultivators and Dao Integration Stage cultivators would feel dizzy upon glancing at this expanse of darkness. It was as if their existence were about to be instantly engulfed into nothingness.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth started to wail in grief again.

A crisp cracking sound traveled into the ears of everyone in the Tai Chu Continent and even the ears of those in the boundless Realm of Stars. It was as if something had vanished from beside them.

How many beings existed in the Tai Chu Continent, the boundless Realm of Stars, and the numerous Great Worlds and Small Worlds? This was an unfathomable number, a number so great that even God of Creation Stage divine beings couldn’t comprehend!

This number was undoubtedly very large!

Now, however, Chen Chen’s actions had affected every single being in the universe! That being the case, how would the beings of the universe react?

In fact, the large majority of them wouldn’t show any reaction at all.

At most, they would only feel slightly tired.

Only some of the more powerful beings would feel slightly uneasy.

They would have a faint feeling that the Heavenly Dao was heading toward destruction. They would feel as if they were about to lose the Heavenly Dao, something that they had already grown accustomed to.

Perhaps the dissatisfaction of a single being would be negligible.

However, what about the dissatisfaction of ten thousand beings?

Of one hundred million beings? Of one trillion beings?

When multiplied by one trillion, any number would become ginormous in magnitude. Moreover, every single being in the universe would develop negative emotions if the Heavenly Dao were to be destroyed. When these negative emotions were gathered together, they would combine to form an unimaginably devastating power.

At that time, where would this peculiar power go?

All actions came with a consequence.

Thus, this peculiar power would head toward whoever had destroyed the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, it would head toward Cyril and Chen Chen.

At this moment, a giant red fruit started to appear in the fractures of the Heavenly Dao. This fruit was round and glossy, and it measured around five hundred feet in radius. It was radiating with an extremely alluring aroma.

At first glance, this red fruit looked very much like an apple. Looking closely, however, one would discover that this fruit was redder and rounder than an apple. In fact, its surface was completely smooth and flawless.

Although the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect were extremely alert upon seeing this fruit, they still couldn’t help but instinctively gulp in yearning. Only Cyril and Chen Chen drew a sharp breath.

The eighth tribulation of the Heavenly Dao had arrived!
