Chapter 604: Chapter 603: Shattering Heaven and Earth, Shaking the World, Tathagata’s Shock and Fury [First Update]

The world plunged into a scarlet hue.

The sun and moon retreated, stars vanished, only red mist spilled from the space between Yang Jian’s brows.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze on the battlefield converged on Yang Jian.

His body seemed to be dissolving, all the blood surged up to the Third Eye.

A great terrifying aura was spreading.

Spreading across heaven and earth, spreading through everyone’s hearts.

Lin Heng, Ying Zheng, Wutian, all appeared solemn, holding their breath.

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en, on the other hand, stood suspiciously in place, his face full of vigilance, his heart growing increasingly uneasy.

As he stared intently at Yang Jian, the Light of the Saint surrounded him, layer upon layer of Dharma Seals stacked before him, as insurmountable as mountains.

Yet his heart could not find peace.

"It’s coming!"

At this moment, the Venerable Emperor Chong’en suddenly exclaimed.

Only to see an overwhelming Sea of Blood erupt from Yang Jian’s Celestial Eye.

Rumble!

A thunderous roar drowned out all sound.

The overwhelming Sea of Blood solidified into a pillar, contained the power to annihilate worlds, and directly pierced toward the Venerable Emperor Chong’en.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The Dharma Seals before the Venerable Emperor Chong’en, capable of blocking all, were as fragile as paper under the assault of the Sea of Blood pillar.

Not to mention stopping it.

Even holding on for a moment proved impossible.

The Sea of Blood pillar shattered all the Dharma Seals, and in an instant, reached the Venerable Emperor Chong’en.

"Damn it!"

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s face was aghast, his entire body radiated the Light of the Saint, blocking forward with both fists.

Yet, an extreme tearing sensation spread through his arms.

His arms exploded, flesh flew, bones powdered.

In an instant, his arms vanished.

Boom!

The Sea of Blood pillar struck the Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s chest.

Since proving his path and becoming a Saint, for the first time, the Venerable Emperor Chong’en felt physical pain.

This was something he found hard to accept, even harder to believe.

Extreme resentment welled up in his heart.

The Venerable Emperor Chong’en roared in unwilling anger: "I have proven the Dao, I am a Saint of this era, you should bow under my feet, you ants cannot kill me!!!"

He roared in fury.

Yet, in the next moment, a silhouette appeared faintly within the Sea of Blood pillar.

It was a giant.

A giant wielding a Divine Axe.

The giant cleaved open heaven and earth, swinging his axe toward him.

Long-lost fear swelled instantly in his heart, the Venerable Emperor Chong’en’s face turned deathly pale, he let out a terrified scream, the Saint’s body was penetrated by the Sea of Blood pillar.

The Sea of Blood pillar’s power was beyond imagination, not only did it pierce the Venerable Emperor Chong’en, it continued shooting forth for tens of thousands of miles, roaring with a boom as it shattered the horizon.

In the Alternate Space, the Red-bottomed Macaque spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, his face turned ashen pale.

At this moment in the Grand Thousand Immortal Realm.

Suddenly, the earth shook and the heavens trembled.

A thunderous roar, as if heaven collided.

The Thirty-Three Heavens above the North Sea were shattered by unknown power, vast stars turned to dust, many Celestial Realms were impacted, space collapsed layer by layer, creating one black hole after another.

This sudden change startled all forces greatly.

All Quasi-Saints’ gaze turned toward the source of the thunderous sound, where the Celestial Domain was a sea of blood, the aura of the Saint filled the air.

"What happened?"

Immortal Realm experts were all filled with suspicion and dread.

While in the Celestial Court, Sun Wukong and others stationed at the border also cast a heavy gaze toward there.

"That’s the commotion from that battlefield..." Shen Gongbao realized something, unwittingly clenched his fists, secretly praying.

"So, they truly are challenging a Saint..." Tianpeng and others had complex expressions, their faces full of shock.

"Everyone, it’s time for us to fight too!"

Sun Wukong shouted loudly, retracting his gaze, looking again at the nearby Celestial Dao Sacred Court.

"Kill!"

The Long-armed Ape struck first, plucking two stars and smashing them toward the Celestial Dao Sacred Court.

"Kill!!!"

A million Celestial Soldiers roared, carrying overwhelming fortune, entered the realm of the Celestial Dao Sacred Court.

The Destiny Dynasty war erupted instantly.

...

Chaos.

The world at this moment could be said to be in chaos.

In the Returning Buddha Country, the Tathagata Buddha who had been sitting quietly, chanting scriptures for seventy years, raised his eyebrows for the first time, revealing an incredulous gaze.

Though Destiny Dynasty wars were rare, after all, it was the Celestial Court attacking the Sacred Court, over the long ages, it was not unheard of.

But that thunderous roar of heaven and earth.

Allowed Tathagata to catch onto a heavenly secret.

"They actually are really doing something to the Venerable Emperor Chong’en..."

Tathagata couldn’t help but furrow his brows, he actually guessed this might happen when the Venerable Emperor Chong’en entered the Black and White Double Cave.

But the matter of Quasi-Saints challenging Saints.

Is truly absurd.

He could hardly believe that the young Daoist Lord and Yang Jian really dared to do such a thing.

Yet, this implausible speculation actually came true...

Not only did they challenge the Venerable Emperor Chong’en, but according to the aura that momentarily spread to the Immortal Realm, it made Tathagata sense that the Venerable Emperor Chong’en suffered unimaginable damage!

This shocked him, yet also made his expression serious.

And his changing expression was naturally noticed by the Bodhisattvas seated listening to scriptures, a Bodhisattva questioned: "World Honored One, has something major happened?"

"Could it be related to the thunderous roar of heaven and earth just now?"

"Has the aura of a Saint appeared, is your concern related to this?"

The Bodhisattvas murmured among themselves, various speculations arose.

However, the Tathagata Buddha remained silent, but the gloom between his brows became more pronounced.

Seeing this, the Bodhisattvas dared not cause more commotion, yet in their hearts, they remained shocked and uncertain.

They must know the World Honored One is a Saint.

Even the birth and death of all things cannot cause his heart to waver,

Yet now the World Honored One appears so gloomy, without saying more, a great change must have occurred!

Speaking of.

The last time they saw the World Honored One with such a gloomy countenance was on the day of the Celestial Court’s collapse, the war between Buddhist Dao, when the Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader pointed his sword at the Buddha Country!

Seeing this expression again on the World Honored’s face now.

Naturally, the Bodhisattvas felt uneasy.

However, what they didn’t know was that the reason the Tathagata Buddha appeared gloomy at this moment was because someone was staring at him in the Outer Heaven Universe.

"The century’s deadline has not yet arrived, Tathagata Buddha, I hope you sit quietly."

In the Outer Heaven Universe, on the river of time, Confucius stood at the tide, speaking calmly.

"I don’t kill, only rescue people, do you also want to stop me?" Tathagata Buddha’s voice resonated through the river of time, carrying a touch of anger, as if shaking eternity.

Yet Confucius remained exceedingly calm: "When one lives, someone dies."

"Your act of rescue is the same as killing, so please sit quietly."

Tathagata Buddha narrowed his eyes at these words: "Confucius, this is no small matter, if the precedent of Saints falling to Quasi-Saints is set, the world will change from here!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
