Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1426 - 828: Invincible Beneath Transcendence

That streak of crimson was too dazzling.

So even the Buddha could bleed.

At the moment the blood plasma scattered onto the earth, everyone’s heartbeat unconsciously sped up. Whether it was the common people of the Divine Dynasty or the Immortal Officials fallen into the Red Dust, all raised their heads, incredulously looking towards the figure firmly pressed down by the Stone Stick.

If the Golden Immortal Bodhisattvas, who possessed the Undying and Undying Divine Skills, were already not proficient in using duels to solve problems, then among the True Buddha Emperors one level higher, such a thing had never occurred.

They were the rulers, the parents of heaven and earth, representing the Heavenly Dao with every gesture, if they sought to win by force, it would indeed be beneath them.

Even when faced with issues like Houtu Huangdi Qi, the three Buddhas of East Sumeru did not act directly. Instead, they summoned all the First Rank Giants. After consultation, they acted together to suppress without giving Lady Houtu any opportunity to resist, doing so in a manner both decent and proper, avoiding any unnecessary trouble and ridicule from others.

These seventeen giants were all a part of the cosmos.

To fight internally was equivalent to a giant’s arms struggling against each other, utterly pointless.

But Shen Yi’s decisive action shattered this protocol, proclaiming to the world that below transcendence, even at the same First Rank, there were disparities.

The gap was even quite evident.

"..."

Emperor Dongji initially wanted to hide behind, letting the Joyful True Buddha first test Shen Yi’s depth. However, everyone climbed along the Heavenly Dao’s path, attracting the attention of this giant beast to fulfill their Immortal Oath and Grand Wish to become Emperors and Buddhas.

Even though they walked far ahead on the same path, when facing this newly ascended young man, they unexpectedly found themselves at such a disadvantage.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial, why could someone receive a double blessing?!

Emperor Dongji dared not remain idle. If he did not help the Joyful True Buddha out of the predicament, relying on himself alone, it might be difficult to gain any advantage from this youngster.

He waved his arms forward, effortlessly tearing open the Sky Curtain.

Thunder roared like a wild dragon, and from the terrifying rift, a nine-story Exquisite Treasure Tower descended upon the mortal realm, carrying a grand aura. Its towering and majestic body shattered the electric glows, and the ensuing shadow enveloped the entire Imperial City.

In a situation where his powers were suppressed by the Human Emperor Qi, this Emperor made his move with an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Only such treasures born at the inception of the cosmos could bridge the gap between the two.

The Pagoda was enveloped in the aura of Chaos, heading straight to suppress Shen Yi, compelling him to dodge. Simultaneously, the doors at the top of the tower slightly opened, casting a stream of light toward the Joyful True Buddha, intending to lead him into the body of the tower first.

"Huh!"

The Joyful True Buddha temporarily suppressed the turbulence in his heart. Despite Shen Yi practicing both Immortal and Buddha paths, creating the current mysterious duality, as long as he cooperated heartily with Emperor Dongji, they could find a way to break the impasse.

He spat a mouthful of blood, lifted his body, intending to ascend along the tower’s light to evade the sharp edge.

At this moment, a clean boot suddenly magnified in his vision.

Boom!

Shen Yi stepped on this Buddha’s chest. Though the tower’s light protected him from real harm, it firmly pinned him underfoot.

"Get out of the way!"

The Joyful True Buddha suddenly raised his head, staring at the swiftly descending Pagoda, a tinge of fear finally surfacing in his heart.

Even though a True Buddha’s body could represent the pinnacle of a Walker’s path, he had never intended to withstand an Innate Spiritual Treasure wielded by an Emperor with his flesh alone.

In the distance, Emperor Dongji’s expression slightly changed, but soon a fierce, ruthless streak emerged.

Even though the True Buddha was beneath the tower, he did not want to miss this excellent opportunity.

Understandably, Shen Yi bore the suspicion of influencing the Heavenly Dao and erasing the Dao Fruit within. The Emperor wasn’t willing to bet on this risk.

Trying to exploit the monk against me, this youngster is undoubtedly delirious!

"Fall!"

Accompanied by a sharp shout, Emperor Dongji not only did not withdraw but instead endeavored to communicate with the giant beast of Heavenly Dao, causing waves of Dao sound to echo. Under Heavenly Dao’s blessing, the Exquisite Treasure Tower crushed the void, causing the sky above the Imperial City to fragment.

Thud——

It went straight down. Under that terrifying aura, the outlines of the two figures beneath the tower became distorted and blurry!

With the intimidating presence of the Emperor and the full power of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, not to mention mundane beings, even the Joyful True Buddha of the same First Rank was wide-eyed, no longer concerned about Shen Yi, who was stepping on him, fully activating Buddha Light to delay the Pagoda’s descent.

"Stop!"

The originally deep and calming Buddha’s voice now became a sharp scream.

That face, which often held a smile and seemed to have everything under control, now drenched in sweat, eyes filled with ferocity, with half-recession at the cheekbones adding a touch of horror.

At this moment, Shen Yi’s Mystic Robe, which swayed like a winding river, suddenly transformed into an actual pitch-black river. Massive arms like Heavenly Pillars emerged from within, roaring as they soared into the sky, then firmly supporting the bottom of the Pagoda.

The same mighty Heavenly Dao Power clashed!

The immense shadow from before revealed its form once again, its entire body like splashed ink, visage indistinguishable, yet more solid than before by countless times.

The Buddha’s body is heralded as the Immovable Venerable King. How could merely a Pagoda shake him?

"Hiss!"

Emperor Dongji had entirely not anticipated such a stalemate occurring.
