Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1438 - 668: Earth Immortal Realm’s Number One Assassin (Part 2)

An Immortal above, but below a Taiyi Golden Immortal, cannot persevere for long.

The Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation once killed too many, destroying all life across four worlds. His tribulation is profoundly heavy, and now the tribulation is transferred, turning into fierce karmic fire. Those with high cultivation can suppress it, those not high enough are ignited by the karmic fire.

This karmic fire uses the Primordial Spirit as a candle and the physical body as the wick, burning swiftly!

Peacock Ming King, upon seeing this, no longer hesitates and immediately attacks the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation.

The Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation had just lifted his hand to send the old monk flying, when he saw Peacock Ming King rushing at him. He couldn't help but become angry and said, "Brother, I am wholeheartedly devoted to Buddhism, I won't fight back this time, you know my intention."

He was planning to forcefully withstand a blow from the Peacock Ming King, but then he saw other Ming Kings, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajras coming to attack him from all directions, their various magical treasures flying in!

The Western Heaven Buddhism follows the path of Immortal and God Cultivation, not only do monks have to construct a Golden Body to accept the incense and offerings from common people, so too do the magical treasures.

These magical treasures, having been consecrated and refined, possess immense power, making the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation's scalp numb with fear, thinking, "If I get hit by them, even if I don't die, I'll lose a layer of skin."

At this moment, he saw Venerable Ananda and Venerable Kasyapa by the side of Tathagata also coming to attack him. He no longer hesitated in his heart and immediately struck back.

"I joined Ling Mountain to survive and became a Ming King. If I can't live now, what's the point of being a Ming King?"

Resolved in his heart, he no longer held back and immediately aroused the tribulations of almost everyone in Ling Mountain!

Earlier, he was only transferring his own tribulation, but now he aroused the tribulations of these masters on Ling Mountain, causing a group of Ming Kings, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Venerables to suddenly feel that their Opening Tribulation could erupt at any moment!

The Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation, determined to fight for his life, forced the masters of Ling Mountain to mobilize all their cultivation to suppress the karmic fire and tribulation within them.

However, the Peacock Ming King and the Golden-winged Roc brothers still rushed forward, and the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation struggled to fend them off, suffering severe injuries in just a few moves!

The Yin Yang Qi of the Golden-winged Roc was now even more powerful. As he conjured the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, with a swoosh, he captured the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation inside, intending to refine him, but suddenly a crisp sound rang out, and the bottom of the flask was punched with a small hole.

The Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation flew out and was immediately struck by the Lotus of Peacock Ming King, spitting blood as he flew backward!

Biting his teeth, the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation ignored his injuries, forcibly urging the Sutra of Eternal Freedom, triggering the sins of the Peacock Ming King and the Golden-winged Roc. As they chased forward, they found their own karmic fire burning fiercely, difficult to suppress, their faces changed suddenly, each suppressing their own karmic fire.

The Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation took the opportunity to rise and flee toward the exterior of Ling Mountain.

"Dao friend, why rush away?"

A grand voice came from above Ling Mountain, the Tathagata said, "If you leave, I won't stop you, but you must still take away this tribulation, it cannot remain on my Ling Mountain."

Knowing that things were not good, the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation immediately turned around, fixed his gaze toward Ling Mountain, and flew backward, shouting, "Tathagata! You suppressed me for ten thousand years, tormented me so much! We agreed, I would become a Ming King of your Ling Mountain, and you would grant me freedom! Now, are you going to go back on your word?"

His speed was extremely fast, escaping tens of thousands of miles in an instant!

Golden light radiated from Ling Mountain, a mighty hand slowly rose.

Filled with fear, the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation, even though flying backward, found his distance from Ling Mountain growing closer.

The grand divine skill of Eternal Freedom that enveloped Ling Mountain seemed like an immense net, entirely retracting and falling into his body.

Terribly afraid, the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation cried, "Tathagata, your purpose in releasing me is nothing more than to use me to transfer tribulations for the monks of your Ling Mountain! The task you cannot do, I can do for you! If you kill me, all your schemes will be completely wasted!"

As soon as he spoke, the divine skill of Eternal Freedom was already pressed into his body by the hand of Tathagata.

The Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation's body trembled, frozen in place.

Peacock Ming King and a group of Bodhisattvas, Arhats each suppressed their karmic fire, intending to advance and destroy this bandit harming Ling Mountain, when suddenly the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation exploded with a bang!

The forty-one Dao Principles resulted in giant cracks, tearing him apart, consuming, the explosive power even failing to impact beyond a hundred feet!

Peacock Ming King and others rushed forward, seeing the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation fragmented beyond recognition, no remains left.

All that remained were forty-one enormous cracks, hanging in the air, embedded within mountain stones, or hidden beneath the ground, some piercing through the trunks of towering ancient trees.

These cracks were extremely strange, and after shredding the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation remained without disappearing, filled with an inauspicious aura of Outer Dao.

Peacock Ming King halted the crowd, dropping a Peacock Feather.

This feather was an extraordinary treasure, tempered through countless trials, possessing great power, yet touching the crack it suddenly shattered, fragmented beyond repair.

"This is an Outer Dao Divine Skill!"

Peacock Ming King was shocked in his heart, commanding the crowd, "Do not go near, heed the instructions of the World Honored One."

The crowd each retreated, tidying the chaos on Ling Mountain.

This time's disaster, many monks on Ling Mountain were killed or injured, with numerous human skin lanterns hanging in the air, karmic fire still burning within.

Some monks were burned, leaving only their feet, floating in the air, swaying, the sound of fire crackling continually within the human skins.

Zhong Wuwang apathetically surveyed the surroundings, watching those floating human skin lanterns, feeling a momentary sense of bewilderment.

Ling Mountain previously was a bustling scene of prosperity, where many monks had gathered to celebrate the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation.

Who would have imagined that in the time of just one incense stick, countless died and injured, even the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation perished and dissipated!

From not far came the voice of Chen Shi: "Master Ci Yun, Zen Master? Shall we go to a place of rest?"

Zhong Wuwang looked over to see Chen Shi, friendly and respectful towards Master Ci Yun.

Master Ci Yun was a True Immortal Cultivation, this time nearly dying under the divine skill of the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation, shaken, momentarily ignoring Chen Shi.

Chen Shi called twice again, though the Zen Master remained unsettled.

Zhong Wuwang shivered, "Chen Zhenwang did such a thing, how can he still dare to stay at Ling Mountain...wait a moment, might my master and I be implicated by him?"

Then, the voice of the Tathagata came forth: "...the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation, Zi Jing Layman, heavily sinful, destroyed the Three Elements, Tai Lai, Wu Fang, and Liuli worlds, burying countless lives. I held a compassionate heart, hoping to guide the fiend to abandon evil and promote virtue, washed away his own sins. Who would have thought, he was so vicious and fierce, nearly damaging my Ling Mountain's Tao lineage. This is my fault, involving many Dao friends."

Peacock Ming King and others appeared grief-stricken, a Bodhisattva sighed, "This body is but a foul husk, Dao friends letting go of the foul husk, re-entering reincarnation, isn't necessarily a bad thing. In the future, we will search for them again."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Tathagata said, "Many of you are injured, each recovering yourselves. Ananda, personally escort Mr. Chen to rest, he is startled, and you must protect him closely."

Venerable Ananda bowed, "As the decree instructs." Then he went to Chen Shi's side, raised his hand, "Mr. Chen, please."

Zhong Wuwang intended to follow, Venerable Ananda turned back, "Junior Brother Zhong, remain."

Zhong Wuwang was the disciple of the Golden-winged Roc, esteemed in a generation with the Bodhisattvas and Venerables on Ling Mountain.

Zhong Wuwang, with no choice, halted and said quietly to the old monk walking over, "Master, Chen Zhenwang has been softly imprisoned by the World Honored One."

The old monk replied expressionlessly, "He murdered the Great Ming King of Timeless Tribulation and caused so many disciples of Ling Mountain to die, naturally he has to give the World Honored One an explanation. His methods might deceive others but not the World Honored One. This matter, we need not concern ourselves, nor can we intervene."

Zhong Wuwang nodded, "His courage is somewhat excessive."

The old monk sighed, genuinely admiring, "Talents emerge through the ages, new generations replacing the old. I thought this generation's first place on the Immortal Slaying List could only achieve modest results, now it seems he truly isn't flaunting an empty name."

"Master, it's flaunting an empty name."

"Must you nitpick! Learn well from Chen Zhenwang's Yin Yang Dao, if you can't learn it well, how can you pass it on to me?"

...

Chen Shi was softly imprisoned by Venerable Ananda in the East Mountain Villa's wing room. He could walk in the East Mountain Villa, but when trying to leave, he would be stopped by Venerable Ananda.

After more than ten days, Venerable Ananda approached Chen Shi and said, "Mr. Chen, the World Honored One invites you."
