NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 170
At the same time, outside the Buddha Temple.
Hundreds of spirit boats raced over, the characters “Jiuyan” on their hulls extremely eye-catching.
On each spirit boat, hundreds of cultivators wielded various spirit instruments.
In front of the hundred spirit boats, twelve Supreme Elders, the Sect Master, and Peak Masters of the Jiuyan Sect were standing suspended in the air.
At this moment, everyone was still immersed in the grief of the Old Ancestor’s demise, but they forced themselves to be spirited, not wanting to lose momentum because of it.
Supreme Great Elder Xiao Ting waved his hand towards the back.
“Oh——!”
“Topple Buddha Temple, save Lin Feng!”
The disciples of the Jiuyan Sect shouted one after another with great vigor.
Among them, the disciples of the Ninth Peak were the most enthusiastic!Especially the Ninth Peak Elder Lu Yang, who was standing on the edge of the spirit boat, waving his spirit knife while shouting as if he was injected with chicken blood!
The shouts spread out like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire Buddha Temple.
Seeing that no one from the Buddha Temple came out to negotiate, Xiao Ting frowned and said, “Control the Dome Realm and break the Salvation Formation first!”
“What? Are we really going to attack?” Another Supreme Elder was somewhat confused.
He thought that this was just a bluff and a show of force.
Moreover, the Salvation Formation of the Buddha Temple was not of a high grade.
Even if it really needed to be broken, it wouldn’t require the Dome Realm to take action. Just a few Supreme Elders working together could easily break the formation!
“We did not hide our tracks on the way here. The Buddha Temple should have known about our arrival long ago. They know, yet they don’t send anyone out to negotiate. Wouldn’t we lose momentum if we don’t really attack?” Xiao Ting retorted.
“That makes sense,” Sect Master Gu Changqing communicated secretly.
“The arrow is on the bowstring and must be shot! Let’s scare those baldies with our sect’s Dome Realm first to show them our stance!”
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
Soon, a glaze treasure mirror appeared in the air.
This treasure mirror was several zhang high and one zhang wide, with a mirror surface as clear as a pond and as deep as an abyss.
The frame was pitch black, with nine lifelike, blood-red beasts carved on it, baring their teeth and claws, looking quite terrifying.
This was the Jiuyan Sect’s divine-grade spirit instrument, the Jade Water Glazed Dome Realm.
Such a level spirit instrument was only possessed by first-rate sects in the Central Domain and used as a sect’s treasure.
If the sect’s Dome Realm was used for scouting, it could observe every location in the Central Domain that was not protected by a high-level formation. If used for attack, its power was equally formidable.
Xiao Ting personally controlled the Dome Realm, flicked his finger, and a beam of spiritual light shot into the mirror surface.
“Whoosh——”
The Dome Realm’s mirror surface rippled like waves, making a sound like water.
Then, Xiao Ting aimed the mirror at the Salvation Formation in front of them and flicked dozens of beams of spiritual light with his hand.
It wasn’t until he was somewhat weary that the Dome Realm finally emitted a dazzling blue light.
Under the blue light, the nine beasts carved on the frame seemed to come to life, roaring with their mouths open.
At the same time, a pillar of light mixed with rainbow divine light shot out from the Dome Realm’s mirror surface, carrying a momentum that could destroy heaven and earth, aiming at the Salvation Formation.
In the blink of an eye, the divine light pierced through the great formation, shooting forward rapidly.
Wherever the divine light passed, the clouds in the sky were torn apart, and the ground collapsed instantly, forming trenches.
The cultivators who had not yet managed to leave the Buddha Temple were merely glanced at by the divine light and were annihilated, turning into dust scattered in the wind.
Continuing forward, the divine light eventually reached a temple that was majestic, surrounded by colorful Buddha light, and extremely grand, where golden bodies of various Buddhas could be seen everywhere.
This place was the main temple of the Buddha Temple.
“Amitabha!”
As the divine light was about to hit the main temple’s defense formation, four emaciated monks with dark yellow complexions suddenly appeared.
Together, they threw a golden alms bowl into the air that was surging with Buddha light.
The golden alms bowl gradually enlarged, and inside
was pitch black like a bottomless hole. Within the darkness, Buddha light shone, and various Buddha figures could be vaguely seen emerging behind the bowl.
This was the Buddha Temple’s treasured divine instrument, the Demon-Subduing Bowl!
Amidst the murmurs of the Buddhas, the light from the bowl grew even stronger.
At the same time, the pillar-like divine light struck directly into the interior of the bowl.
“Boom!”
The two collided, shaking heaven and earth.
The Buddha light and the divine light clashed, and the resulting shockwaves spread out in all directions.
Wherever they went, cultivators died tragically, and temples and the ground collapsed.
In just a few breaths, except for the main temple of the Buddha Temple, almost all the other affiliated temples were destroyed.
Hundreds of miles turned into scorched earth!
Seeing this scene, the four monks were furious.
There were rules and processes to be followed even in a war between sects.
Normally, the battle would start with the ordinary disciples of both sects and then the level of conflict would escalate gradually, with the treasured divine instruments or the Old Ancestors of both sides only being used at the very end.
This rule was followed even by the demonic path!
The reason was simple. It was not easy to establish a sect, and unless necessary, no one wanted to escalate the war to an irreversible extent. Because once the strong members and divine instruments of both sides clashed, regardless of the outcome, their power was enough to destroy everything!
“Crazy! These Jiuyan Sect lunatics!”
“Amitabha, we originally wanted to give the Jiuyan Sect some time to calm down, then come out to negotiate and convert them. Who would have thought that the Jiuyan Sect would break the rules and directly destroy our Buddha Temple!”
“In my opinion, the Jiuyan Sect has fallen into the demonic path!”
“Summon all the strong members of the Buddhist Sects, and we will meet them! If a battle occurs, we must try to keep the battlefield away from the main temple!”
“The Jiuyan Sect has brought their treasured divine instruments, they are starting a war of extermination! Presumably, that Old Ancestor Jiuyan must have also arrived, otherwise, these people wouldn’t be so arrogant!”
“Right, what does Buddha Old Ancestor think?”
“Buddha Old Ancestor said that there is a reincarnated Martial Emperor in the Six Prisons with awakening memories. The Jiuyan Sect Old Ancestor’s strength is unfathomable, and a slight mistake could bring disaster to our Buddha Temple today!”
The monks discussed among themselves.
As the last words fell, their expressions became extremely solemn.
Just one Old Ancestor Jiuyan was enough to put pressure on the Buddha Temple, let alone that Martial Emperor who had entered the Six Prisons.
This is a huge problem!
But no matter what, they had to go and meet them.
Otherwise, the hundred-year reputation of the Buddha Temple would be ruined in an instant!
On the other side, in front of the Jiuyan Sect’s spirit boats. Seeing that most of the Buddha Temple was destroyed, the ordinary elders and disciples of the Jiuyan Sect were shocked!
Too fierce! Their own Supreme Elder was too fierce!
The battle had not even started, and they had already destroyed hundreds of the Buddha Temple’s temples.
This was an absolute crushing in terms of momentum!
“Oh——!”
The crowd shouted again, chanting: “Topple Buddha Temple, save Lin Feng!!”
Hearing this, Sect Master Gu Changqing’s mouth twitched, and he communicated secretly: “Supreme Great Elder, isn’t this a bit too much? What if those baldies get desperate?”
“What are you panicking about?!”
Xiao Ting glared, also communicating: “My intention was to break the defense formation of the Buddha Temple’s main temple in one go. Who would have thought that those baldies would be so foolish as to use a divine-grade spirit instrument to counter? When divine instruments clash, of course, it will affect the surroundings!”
What do you mean ‘What are you panicking about’?
If you’re not panicking, why is your voice trembling? Gu Changqing was speechless.
“If that Buddha Old Ancestor comes in a rage, we’ll run! Understand?” Xiao Ting communicated secretly.
“Alright!”
Gu Changqing nodded solemnly.
In his view, they were just bluffing for now. If the Buddha Old Ancestor really came, with the Old Ancestor Jiuyan already “fallen,” they would naturally have to run quickly.
It might mean losing momentum, but it was better than being wiped out here.
“The ordinary elders and disciples still do not know of the Old Ancestor’s fall. We must not give ourselves away, or the morale will surely collapse!” Xiao Ting added.
Gu Changqing nodded, understanding Xiao Ting’s intention.
He turned his head and glanced at the Jiuyan Sect elders and disciples who were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, then Gu Changqing raised his arm and shouted: “Jiuyan Sect, invincible!”
“Oh——!” The crowd roared again.
“Jiuyan Old Ancestor, invincible!”
“Oh—!”
“Topple Buddha Temple, save Lin Feng!”
“Oh—!”
Such rallying cries stirred the spirits of the Jiuyan Sect, their momentum surging like a rainbow.
Gu Changqing nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with the situation.
Just as he and the other high-ranking sect members were preparing to wait in this state for the bald monks of Buddha Temple to come and negotiate…
“Charge!!”
Ninth Peak Great Elder Lu Yang suddenly shouted.
And then,
“Oh! Kill them!”
“I’ve been annoyed by these bald monks for a long time!”
“With the Old Ancestor behind us, we shall never retreat!”
“Jiuyan Sect is invincible!”
Amidst the roaring chants, thousands of disciples leaped from the spirit boats, wielding various spiritual weapons, and charged into Buddha Temple with murderous intent.
The great sect war had begun.
This turn of events left Xiao Ting and the other high-ranking sect members completely dumbfounded!
