Chapter 479: Annihilation Venerable One
The white dragon maiden felt a sense of unease in her heart, and her countenance involuntarily became fraught with anxiety.
Beside her, Lu Heng, who had a blind appearance, seemed to be unaffected by any pressure.
The murky greenish-white eyeballs seemed to lack focal points, yet they made everyone present feel a piercing gaze.
On the stone mountain, Lu Heng said, "Dear guests, upon entering the Celestial Desolation Realm, what plans do you have? This Wudou, who resides in seclusion and avoids worldly affairs, shouldn't have offended any of you, I presume? How did it come to such a tragic demise?"
The cold and probing inquiry from Lu Heng left the ten or so figures in slight astonishment.
Subsequently, the Buddha's voice, seated gracefully upon the lotus platform, spoke.
Within the resounding Buddhist chants, it appeared to carry boundless compassion and profound sympathy for the suffering of all sentient beings, making one irresistibly compelled to worship and pay homage.
"Since you are aware that we are not beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, you should understand that there is no absolute right or wrong in this matter, merely a simple struggle for survival."
"You beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm, should not exist in this world, for you are truly the most sinister and malevolent entities in all the heavenly realms."
"The sea of suffering knows no bounds. We are merely upholding the principles of divine justice by eradicating malevolent entities."
The Buddha's image seated upon the lotus platform, hands forming mudras, once again emitted a resplendent Buddha light, saying, "Let us all together vanquish demons and annihilate malevolent entities!"
Within the radiant Buddha light, the majestic and compassionate visage of the Buddha appeared sorrowful, hands forming the fearless mudra, as in that moment, a towering and fierce apparition of a demon-quelling shadow emerged from behind him.
The Divine Lord, with three heads and six arms, holds the treasure vase, divine sword, vajra staff, golden wheel, divine bow, golden arrows, and the demon-binding rope. Each of these divine weapons exudes an awe-inspiring presence, radiating the illuminating light of the Buddha.
In the blink of an earthly moment, this translucent Divine Lord apparition roared with fury as it brandished its divine sword and swiftly approached.
The distance in space, to it, was traversed in an instant. With a sharp divine sword, it shattered the void, cleaving directly toward the blind Lu Heng below.
While the awe-inspiring vajra staff, exuding a formidable aura, viciously pounded from the side, aiming to cut off Lu Heng's escape route.
Inside the resplendent treasure vase, a powerful suction force was unleashed, seeking to draw Lu Heng inside for refinement and annihilation.
Furthermore, the golden wheel danced in the air, severing all directions, while the divine ropes trembled, sealing the soul.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Heng found himself trapped in a desperate situation, devoid of any possible escape route.
Not to mention, behind this illusion of the Divine Lord, the ten-plus figures each unleashed their respective treasures, launching simultaneous attacks towards Lu Heng.
The appearance of the blind man before them was quite unusual. Prior to that, Ban Qi had warned everyone about him, making them aware of the blind man's formidable strength. As a result, nobody dared to overlook him, and when he made a move, they all went all out.
However, in the next moment, the figure of the blind man vanished.
The relentless onslaught of everyone, capable of annihilating everything, would even cause the most elite beings across realms to be in a state of fluster and disarray.
Amidst the radiance, the figure of the blind man truly and unexpectedly vanished.
The crowd, including the leading Buddhist Venerable One, was unable to perceive how the blind man vanished into thin air.
Inside the shattered stone mountain, where the blind man had been obliterated by the onslaught, there was no trace of him to be found.
The Buddha on the lotus platform suddenly rose, and his gaze abruptly shifted towards another direction of the molten lava lake below.
There, within the void, stood a cold and indifferent blind man, accompanied by a vigilant and uneasy young girl.
They seemed to have been standing there since the very beginning, without moving.
None of the people present had discerned how the blind man had arrived there.
Within the realm of spiritual perception, there was no trace or vestige of any breath detected.
This is…
The brow of the Buddha's image slightly furrowed.
"Such frightful agility…"
As the voice resounded, the translucent Divine Lord in the void vanished once again. The terrifying demonic deity, with three heads and six arms, bellowed as it cleaved towards Lu Heng in the distance.
Once again, there was an instantaneous disappearance, a momentary flicker; it was no longer merely about speed, but rather a complete transcendence of spatial and distance constraints. In an instant, it appeared right in front of the blind man!
However, at the moment the divine sword descended, the figure of the blind man abruptly vanished once again.
Appeared at the other end of the underground lava realm.
This time, even though everyone had gained experience, they still couldn't discern how the blind man vanished.
Such an elusive body movement, unexpectedly more dreadful than the incarnations of the Buddhist Venerable One's wrathful deities!
Above the underground lava lake, the scattered figures of a dozen individuals swiftly converged and gathered around the Buddhist Venerable One, anxiously casting their gazes around.
The uncanny agility of the blind man's movements, if he were to take advantage of the chaos and commit murder, they would likely be entirely powerless to resist…
And on the twelve-tiered lotus platform, the countenance of the Buddhist Venerable One became increasingly sorrowful.
He gazed at the blind man in the distance, as the three-headed, six-armed wrathful deity incarnation flickered and relentlessly pursued the blind man's elusive figure within the realm of emptiness.
However, this blind man was inexplicably swift, effortlessly shaking off and leaving behind the undefeatable wrathful deity incarnation that resided within the Earth Spirit Realm.
Within the rapid flickering of his silhouette, in a mere few dozen breaths of time, the wrathful deity incarnation had already flickered tens of thousands of times within the realm of emptiness, yet couldn't even touch the hem of the blind man's garment.
Finally, the enraged wrathful deity incarnation roared and raised the divine bow with golden arrows in hand, bellowing in fury.
"Approach!"
The wrathful deity roared, pulling back the mightiest divine bow, fully drawn within the realm of molten lava. The resplendent golden arrow transformed into a beam of golden light and shot forth, heading straight towards the distant blind man.
As expected, however, the silhouette of the blind man vanished once again.
However, this time, the incarnation of the wrathful deity didn't continue the pursuit.
Because that resplendent golden light vanished directly into nothingness upon missing its target, it reappeared in the next instant, almost simultaneously with the sudden appearance of the blind man!
The sharp arrowhead of the golden arrow was less than half a foot away from the blind man's forehead! The icy cold intent of the blade made the blind man's forehead ache.
In that instant, the blind man's half-closed eyes suddenly widened.
In the next moment, a flickering light of celestial thunder burst forth in the molten lava lake below.
With a piercing sound--
After the blazing white lightning flashed, the resplendent golden arrow vanished into the midst of thunder and lightning, leaving not even the slightest trace behind.
The dozens of figures in the underground lava lake all revealed expressions of astonishment.
"Heavenly thunder…"
"It is the heavenly thunder…"
They looked in a mixture of fear and astonishment towards the blind person in the distance, instantly deducing his identity.
The Buddhist Venerable One on the lotus platform had an unpleasant expression on his face and exclaimed, "Heavenly Lord Lu Heng?!"
He looked incredulously at the figure of the blind person, finding it almost impossible to believe what his eyes were witnessing.
The rumored Heavenly Lord Lu Heng, who had been missing for over four thousand years, is actually in the Celestial Desolation Realm? And they were immediately found by him as soon as they entered… Could it be that the rumors about the Celestial Desolation Realm are false?
The terrifying deity who can control heavenly thunder has never truly vanished, but rather hidden in the shadows?
And they were immediately approached as soon as they entered the Celestial Desolation Realm…
The Buddhist Venerable One angrily exclaimed, "So it is! Heavenly Lord Lu Heng, I am known as the Annihilation Venerable One, one of the thirteen Buddhist Venerable Ones of the Earth Spirit Realm! I have long desired to witness your methods, and today, I am fortunate enough to meet you and determine who is superior!"
The usually compassionate and amiable Buddhist Venerable One revealed an expression of wrath, causing the surrounding cultivators to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the Buddhist Venerable One intends to engage in a bloody battle rather than abandoning them, their lives should be safe and secure.
They understood the terrifying extent of Heavenly Lord Lu Heng, and they knew that the outcome of this battle had little to do with them. The only entity on their side capable of contending with the fearsome Heavenly Lord Lu Heng, who has shaken the entire Celestial Desolation Realm, is the Buddhist Venerable One!
Within the void, a blind man dressed in a gray robe let out a long sigh. Seeing his identity exposed so easily, he spoke slowly.
"Since you have already guessed my name, then everyone should stay here."
Originally intending to play the long game and attempt to drive away this group of people to seek help, Lu Heng now had no choice but to resort to harsh and ruthless measures.
He no longer concealed his aura and exhaled deeply, shedding the weariness that clung to him.
The figure of Lu Heng, dressed in white, once again emerged within the Celestial Desolation Realm.
A colossal nine-fold cauldron soared out directly from his sleeve, suspending itself above Lu Heng's head, radiating billions of resplendent and luminous essence of life.
Meanwhile, five ancient and simple Heaven Sealing Ancient Swords formed a sword formation, exuding a sharp and chilling sword aura, striking fear into the hearts of all.
The underground magma world, originally scorching hot, where even the spiritual essence in the air was ablaze, instantly turned bone-chillingly cold.
The endless and boundless surge of sword aura nearly overwhelmed this realm. Every breath taken in the air felt as if it contained frigid sword qi, piercing one's soul with intense agony.
Lu Heng, with a cold gaze fixed ahead, had no intention of engaging in any form of communication.
With a decree, countless streams of sword aura instantaneously engulfed everything.
"Kill!"
Regarding this group of foreign adversaries, any excessive words would be a sheer waste of time!
The moment the two sides encountered each other, it was destined to be a fight to the death!
