My son is about to break through.

The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas!

Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back on the warship, his clothes fluttering in the chaotic air currents, like an ancient and eternal statue.

Before him stretched a vast divine kingdom across the chaotic void, with countless rays of Buddhist light interwoven into a net, illuminating the surrounding chaos with golden brilliance, as if lighting an inextinguishable lamp in this eternal darkness.

That divine kingdom was like a blooming golden lotus platform, surrounded by layers upon layers of Buddhist kingdoms. In each Buddhist kingdom, countless Buddhist temples stood, and the sounds of chanting gathered into a rolling torrent that shook the void.

These chants contain a strange power, as if they can penetrate the soul and reach the depths of the heart.

After several months and traversing billions of miles of void, we have finally seen the true face of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

The vastness of this divine kingdom far exceeds imagination; its territory is almost equivalent to the total area of ​​dozens of ordinary immortal realms.

Standing here and looking out, one can see golden lotuses blooming layer upon layer, and the Buddha's light shining upon the world. If it weren't for the eerie aura that was faintly visible in the Buddha's light, anyone would think that this was a true Buddhist sanctuary.

At this moment, with the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas as the center, dozens of immortal realms surround it like stars around the moon.

Evil energy soared into the sky above these celestial realms, and a thick, almost tangible black mist enveloped every world, forming a stark contrast to the dazzling Buddhist light of the central divine kingdom.

Through the layers of evil mist, one could vaguely see countless armies of evil gods moving about, densely packed like locusts passing through, their sheer number sending chills down one's spine.

These evil gods took on various forms; some resembled giant pythons, others demonic apes, and still others took human form, yet exuded a nauseating and sinister aura.

Looking at this scene, Li Qianjue said with a solemn expression, "It seems that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas has also made preparations."

The army of evil gods stationed in these dozens of immortal realms must number at least 30 trillion.

The foundation of such ancient divine kingdoms is indeed unmatched by the likes of Dark Moon and White Bones!

He was not exaggerating.

Previously, even with all their resources, the three great divine kingdoms could barely muster an army of ten trillion.

However, the Wanfo Divine Kingdom alone can mobilize an army of 30 trillion, making the difference between the two worlds apart.

These evil god armies were not only astonishing in number, but also included many powerful beings at the Heavenly Venerable level. Their auras merged into one, causing the entire void to tremble slightly.

However, upon closer reflection, this is actually quite normal.

The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas has an ancient heritage, and its existence predates that of the Kingdom of White Bones and the Kingdom of Dark Moon by countless years.

Before joining the evil god clan, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas was already a renowned top power in the Endless Immortal Realm, with profound foundations.

Now that it has allied itself with the evil god clan and gained their support, the strength of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Divine Kingdom has reached an unprecedented level.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly, a smile tinged with disdain and arrogance: "Whether it's an army of thirty trillion or three hundred trillion, neither can stop our advance."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness, as if stating an established fact.

"In this battle, we will surely annihilate the entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas, leaving not a single one alive!"

As the last sentence was uttered, an extremely chilling killing intent spread out, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

This killing intent was not unfounded—looking around, the dozens of immortal realms were filled with evil energy, but there was not a trace of human presence.

What does this mean?
This indicates that the human race in these immortal realms had already been slaughtered.

Although Gu Qingfeng wasn't angry about it, it only strengthened his resolve to destroy the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Just then, with the arrival of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's army, the Ten Thousand Buddha Divine Kingdom finally made a move.

"Buzz——"

A resounding hum echoed through the void, like the tolling of an ancient bell, or the wailing of countless living beings.

In the center of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas, a terrifying black light shot into the sky, transforming into the phantom of a supreme Buddha in the void.

The Buddha sat cross-legged in the void, but the lotus platform beneath him was not pure and flawless; instead, it was constantly dripping with viscous blood, and a gloomy and filthy aura gathered around the lotus platform and did not dissipate.

The countless rays of Buddha light that once shone forth now seemed to have completely fallen, transforming into endless darkness that enveloped the chaotic void, turning the once dazzling golden Buddha kingdom into a strange dark gold color.

Even more unsettling was the sudden appearance of eerie chanting.

The sound of this chant is solemn and sacred at first listen, as if it can cleanse the soul and make people involuntarily want to take refuge in it.

Upon closer listening, it possesses a bewitching magic, like countless tiny insects gnawing at the soul.

The expressions of many cultivators on the warship changed drastically the moment they heard the chanting.

Many people's eyes gleamed with an eerie black light, and they involuntarily clasped their hands together, muttering incantations, as if they were about to convert to Buddhism.

Even some powerful beings at the Celestial Venerable level showed signs of struggle, clearly trying their best to resist the erosion of this strange chanting.

"snort!"

At this critical moment, Gu Qingfeng let out a cold snort.

The sound was like the celestial voice of the Great Dao, exploding in the minds of every cultivator and instantly dispelling the eerie chanting.

The black light in everyone's eyes faded away, and clarity returned.

Those cultivators who had been clasping their hands together were now staring at their own hands in horror, as if their actions were completely out of their control.

It was only then that they realized what had just happened.

"What's going on? What was that sound?"

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas is so strange—"

Some powerful figures at the Celestial Venerable level were secretly terrified.

With their cultivation levels, they were unknowingly trapped and had no chance to resist.

If Gu Qingfeng hadn't intervened in time, the entire army would probably have become followers of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable by now.

At this moment, everyone's fear of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas reached its peak.

Only Gu Qingfeng remained standing with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged.

He stared at the black Buddha phantom, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, as if trying to see through this strange Buddha completely.

"As expected of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas, he almost caused my six trillion troops to be completely subjugated with just a single chant."

Such strength is far beyond the reach of those useless trash from the three great divine kingdoms.

Gu Qingfeng's voice carried a hint of solemnity, clearly indicating that he had gained a new understanding of the power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable.

"If it were me in the past, I might have really stumbled at his hands this time!"

Before engaging in combat with the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Gu Qingfeng's understanding of this ancient being remained superficial.

Now that he has truly witnessed the other party's methods, he understands how terrifying this Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas is.

Its strength far surpasses that of the likes of the Rakshasa God.

Gu Qingfeng secretly estimated that if he had not consumed the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Fruit, his chances of winning against the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable would be at most 30%.

The chances of winning are 70% in the hands of the opponent.

but--

It’s different in the past.

After consuming the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Fruit, Gu Qingfeng's cultivation had already reached the Eighth Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm.

In terms of strength, they are incomparable.

"Since you're here, why hide your face?" Gu Qingfeng sneered, flicking his sleeve lightly.

This seemingly casual gesture contains the supreme truth of the Great Dao.

In an instant, a crimson blade of light shot out, tearing through billions of miles of void, heading straight for the illusory image of the Buddha.

Wherever the blade's light passed, even the chaotic air currents were split in two, revealing the pitch-black void behind them.

The speed of this strike was so fast that it seemed to transcend the limitations of time, arriving before the phantom of Buddha the moment it appeared.

Faced with this earth-shattering attack, the illusory image of Buddha finally reacted.

He slowly opened his eyes, which were completely black, and seemed to contain the wailing of countless wronged souls, a single glance of which would make one's soul tremble.

He uttered a Buddhist chant, but his voice carried a chilling and eerie quality.

"Amitabha--"

The chanting of Buddhist hymns resounded throughout the endless immortal realm, seemingly carrying some strange, profound rhythm that instilled fear in all who heard it.

At the same time, the Buddha slowly raised his right hand, carrying the power of the Great Dao, and pressed down on the blood-red blade of light.

This palm strike appeared slow, but it was actually as fast as lightning. Countless black runes flowed in the palm, evolving into a filthy Buddhist world, in which one could vaguely see billions of living beings sinking and wailing.

"boom--"

The two forces collided violently in the void.

Unexpectedly, the crimson blade of light was unstoppable, easily piercing through the Buddha's palm, and then, without diminishing its momentum, slashed fiercely at the Buddha's illusory body.

The corrupt Buddhist world that had evolved was as fragile as paper before the blade's edge, shattering instantly.

"Crack!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the enormous phantom of Buddha was severed, cut in two.

The shattered phantoms transformed into a vast black torrent, raging and churning in the void, emitting mournful howls, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within it.

However, just when everyone thought the attack had succeeded, another unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, the dissipated black torrent reformed, and a figure in white slowly emerged from it.

It was a handsome monk, walking barefoot through the air, his body supported by a black torrent beneath his feet. With each step he took, a black divine lotus would bloom in the void.

Strangely, each lotus petal was covered with countless distorted human faces.

These faces, whether crying or laughing, angry or sad, all bore the marks of extreme pain and despair, as if enduring eternal torment.

"The Heavenly Venerable One of Ten Thousand Buddhas!"

Upon seeing this figure appear, Li Qianjue's expression immediately became extremely serious.

His eyes were fixed on the white-clad figure, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Although both were at the Ninth Tribulation level, Li Qianjue felt an unprecedented threat the moment the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable appeared.

It was a fear stemming from a primal instinct, as if we had encountered a natural enemy.

He could clearly sense that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and the other person.

At this moment, Li Qianjue realized just how vast the gap was between himself and the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Relying on his intuition as the Nine Tribulations Great Celestial Venerable, he felt an irrepressible urge to turn around and run away.

but--

Despite the strong thought, Li Qianjue ultimately did not turn around.

Because he knew very well that the main force against the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable was never himself, but the unfathomable Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor beside him.

If he were to face the Heavenly Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas alone, Li Qianjue would definitely turn around and run away without hesitation.

After all, such an existence was far beyond his ability to contend with.

With Gu Qingfeng by his side, Li Qianjue's fear lessened considerably.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

It's undeniable that the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas is indeed terrifying, but Gu Qingfeng, the Celestial Emperor of the Profound Heaven, is by no means a pushover. Judging from their exchange just now, Gu Qingfeng's strength is clearly no less than that of the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

now.

The Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas appeared.

The other party's calm gaze pierced through billions of miles of void and landed directly on the warship.

That gaze seemed gentle, but in reality it contained boundless majesty.

The moment the cultivators met his gaze, they all felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on them, as if the entire world was squeezing them in.

In that instant, it seemed as if their very souls and consciousness were collapsing, and even their thoughts became stagnant.

But the next breath.

Gu Qingfeng took a step into the air, and the profound Daoist power spread out, transforming into an invisible barrier that completely isolated the pressure.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the Heavenly Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas.

"The Heavenly Venerable One of Ten Thousand Buddhas!"

"Greetings, Mysterious Celestial Emperor Gu Qingfeng!"

The Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas proclaimed a Buddhist chant, a faint smile on his face, a smile of compassion and peace, as if he were truly an enlightened high monk.

If it weren't for the overwhelming gloomy aura emanating from him and the black divine lotus blooming with distorted human faces at his feet, anyone would mistake him for a compassionate Buddhist monk.

Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression remaining calm as he looked at the other person, as if he were facing an ordinary opponent rather than the mighty Ten Thousand Buddhas Heavenly Venerable who shook the chaos.

He did not question why a former human celestial being would willingly degenerate and submit to the evil god race.

These questions are simply meaningless.

Regardless of Wanfo Tianzun's original intentions, from the moment the other party sided with the evil god clan, the two sides were completely on opposite sides, and it was a true fight to the death.

The situation now facing the two of them is destined to be a fight to the death.

now.

The Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas slowly said, "I have heard of the reputation of the Immortal Emperor Xuantian, and seeing him today, I know that the rumors are true."

"If I were to fight an Immortal Emperor, I know I would be no match for him."

As soon as these words came out.

Many powerful individuals who heard this statement had a slight change in expression.

Even someone as powerful as the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas, before they had even truly clashed, already admitted that he was inferior to Gu Qingfeng.

Even Li Qianjue's expression became much more serious upon hearing these words.

Gu Qingfeng said calmly, "Since you know you are no match for me, why not end your own lives here? It would save us both time!"

"This humble monk knows he is no match for the Immortal Emperor, but he has glimpsed a corner of the future: in this battle, the Immortal Emperor will surely convert to Buddhism and become a Buddha in my Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas!"

The Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas maintained a faint smile throughout. After speaking, he uttered another Buddhist chant, seemingly having truly glimpsed the future and possessing complete control over everything. (End of Chapter)
