Such a colossal giant Buddha appeared; Lin Feng originally thought it was merely a "Buddha’s Aura" manifested by the Western Region Buddha Country.

Though it had a form, it lacked spirituality.

However, things took Lin Feng by surprise.

This giant Buddha was far too bizarre, seemingly possessing its own mind.

Now those enormous eyes gazed over; what could this giant Buddha be thinking?

"From where does the donor come? Where are you headed?" the giant Buddha suddenly asked.

"I am a cultivator from the Heavenly Martial Continent, having ventured through the Extraterrestrial World, and now return to my homeland," Lin Feng replied.

"In the vast, boundless Star Sea, what insights can the donor share?" the giant Buddha asked.

Lin Feng said, "The Starry Sky World indeed has many extraordinary aspects, with mysterious and ancient races and dazzling different civilizations."

The giant Buddha said, "Could the donor please visit the Western Region Buddha Country so that at that time, we poor monks could discuss Buddhism and Taoism and talk about the Extraterrestrial World?"

This giant Buddha was exceedingly odd, so Lin Feng was very cautious in the face of it, saying, "Truly sorry... I fear I must decline the holy monk’s invitation this time, as I have urgent matters to handle. When these matters are resolved, I will visit in due course. Holy monk, we must take our leave."

Rumble!

The ancient starship crushed across the firmament, charging afar with lightning speed.

Lin Feng wished to quickly leave the Western Region Buddha Country’s territory.

For this Western Region Buddha Country was filled with strange places.

...

Regarding Buddhism, Lin Feng actually held it in reverence, such as the monks seen in the Extraterrestrial World, each compassionate, selfless.

Those people were truly "Holy Monks."

But the Heavenly Martial Continent’s Western Region Buddha Country was different.

The Western Region Buddha Country was founded as a vast empire based on Buddhism.

Being an empire!

This naturally involved too many conflicts of interest.

Buddhism emphasizes purity of the six senses, fundamentally avoiding conflicts of interest. The Western Region Buddha Country goes against Buddhism’s tenets.

In Lin Feng’s view, the Western Region Buddha Country on the Heavenly Martial Continent more closely resembled a colossal power established under the guise of Buddhism.

They cultivate Buddhist divine skills, but only for the sake of cultivating, without believing in Buddhist teachings.

Essentially, the Western Region Buddha Country is not true "Buddhism."

For a place prioritizing interests above all, yet cultivating various Buddhist divine skills, like the Western Region Buddha Country.

Lin Feng naturally wanted to keep a respectful distance from it.

Many Buddhist divine skills are extremely fearsome and strange, like the Great Crossing Technique.

Therefore, once inside the Western Region Buddha Country, anything could happen.

This must be guarded against.

One must not be without caution against others.

...

Seeing Lin Feng’s ancient starship about to depart, the giant Buddha suddenly said coldly, "The poor monk kindly invites the donor over to discuss Buddhism and the Tao, yet the donor ignores it. Could it be that the donor has deceived the poor monk with words? The donor is not really a cultivator of the Heavenly Martial Continent; in recent years, Extraterrestrial Evil Demons have continued to enter the Heavenly Martial Continent. It seems you are such Extraterrestrial Evil Demons too. Today, the poor monk must rid the world of demons and uphold the dao, returning the heavens and earth to brightness."

As the words fell, the giant Buddha directly extended its right hand.

That immense right hand, covering the sky, reached toward Lin Feng.

This grasp seemed to shatter the very heavens and earth.

"What a bald donkey, just say you want to capture us. Why make up so many sanctimonious reasons? All at once, let’s get rid of this bald donkey."

Lin Feng roared, directly unleashing the Nine Demon Map, blasting toward that giant hand.

The Divine Realm Avatar wielded the Great Wilderness Battle Spear, striking ten thousand eight thousand spears, shattering the universe.

Poison Ancestor then unleashed his Evil God Blade; the Evil God Blade flew out, tearing through the void.

The Star Giant Beast swung its enormous Demon Sword, slashing out a ten thousand feet sword light.

Boom...

The two sides’ attacks collided.

The heavens swayed, the earth rocked.

The giant Buddha was shaken, its body swaying slightly.

And the ancient starship was sent flying by the resulting energy fluctuations.

...

"Such powerful Extraterrestrial Evil Demons, all Buddhas return to their places, aid me!" the giant Buddha bellowed.

His voice echoed above the Western Region Buddha Country.

Within the Western Region Buddha Country, all the monks in the temples began reciting chants and Zen songs.

Meanwhile, countless Buddhists knelt on the ground, bowing and praying.

The Power of Faith continually generated, infusing into the giant Buddha’s body.

"Not good... this giant Buddha is truly bizarre, capable of absorbing the Power of Faith. Follow me in activating the ancient starship’s void jumping array, otherwise, we might not escape," Lin Feng shouted.

"Boom..."

Lin Feng, Poison Ancestor, Star Giant Beast, Divine Realm Avatar, and Three Poisonous Puppets all enhanced the void jumping array on the ancient starship.

This was the powerful feature of the ancient starship, to perform void great jumps.

In an instant, it leaped hundreds of thousands of miles, flashing by.

"Ah, you vile beings, your souls are so wicked. Only through bathing in my Buddhism’s holy radiance can your sinful souls be cleansed..."

The giant Buddha emitted a booming voice, and as his voice spread, suddenly, a wide golden energy transformed into a long river, surging into the parallel space, rapidly catching up with the void-jumping ancient starship.

Upon sensing the surging golden energy, everyone felt a chilling dread in their hearts.

Lin Feng’s perception was the most direct.

He felt that the golden energy was very similar to his Great Crossing Technique.

This was a form of energy forcibly transforming others.

"Quick, quick, perform a void jump, if struck by the golden energy, we might become slaves to the giant Buddha," Lin Feng shouted.

Boom boom boom...

No one dared to delay; mana from their bodies incessantly surged into the void jumping array of the ancient starship.

The golden energy was about to engulf the ancient starship.

At this critical moment.

Lin Feng and the others finally activated the void jumping array of the ancient starship, quickly jumping away.

The attack launched by the giant Buddha struck empty space.

Attempting to catch up with the ancient starship was already very difficult.

After leaping over a dozen times.

Finally.

The ancient starship departed the region where the Western Region Buddha Country was located.

"What place is this?" Poison Ancestor asked.

"Near the Western Region Buddha Country, this should be the Heavenly Dao State, right?" Lin Feng said.

He squinted his eyes; at that moment, Lin Feng thought of many things.

In past years.

He was wanted in the East County Divine Land, Ziyuan accompanied him all the way, from the East County Divine Land to the Desolate Domain.

In the Desolate Domain, he met Lanruo from the Heavenly Dao State.

Lanruo wanted to take Ziyuan, who awakened Ancestor Blood, back to her sect to avoid Ziyuan having any further ties.

She even attempted to kill him.

Back then, a disciple named Wangziyu could not bear it, told him this news, and wanted to release him privately, but was killed by Lanruo.

After killing Wangziyu, Lanruo discovered cultivators chasing him behind the spaceship. She also chased him off the spaceship, forcing him into life-and-death battles with those pursuers.

Through life-and-death struggles, he barely managed to kill those pursuers.

After so many years, Lin Feng never forgot this incident.

And now, he returned to the Heavenly Martial Continent.

To have come to the Heavenly Dao State.

Lanruo, the vixen’s territory.
