Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1243 - 440: Taotie, Dining on Buddha Nature (Part 2)

At this moment.

Tian Cang's temporarily condensed Dao Body was left in ruins, with blood droplets continuously falling into the Void, evolving into endless cycles of birth and death, only to vanish thereafter.

The relentless attacks and hunts, time and again, kindled an ancient anger in the heart of this high-ranking figure.

As Dao Power surged from afar, spanning across the Void, a massive and boundless figure reappeared in the Sea of Realms.

In an instant, the winds and clouds stirred, the majestic Dao Rhyme swept across the Sea of Realms like a raging storm, impacting the boundaries of the Netherworld's realm.

The saints of the Outer Realm were somber; was a realm battle about to be incited directly?

With the complete manifestation of the Dao Body, Tian Cang's mere presence caused an unimaginable oppressive force to the Netherworld side.

Anger surged like waves in his heart, but he calmly watched this realm shrouded in mysteries.

The Saint King stood with hands clasped behind, his gaze tranquil, scrutinizing the opponent.

In his view, the opponent's Dao Body was mere superficial, average Supreme True Saints might be intimidated, but he was indifferent.

It was rumored that those who harmonize with one realm, if they leave the realm, their position and Dao Power would drop half a rank, from the untouchable transcendence to a half-step transcendence.

It seems now the rumors are true.

Having been so humiliated today, this figure still did not deploy his true form, merely manifesting another Dao Body; was this to intimidate them?

The Saint King said indifferently: "The Netherworld does not welcome uninvited guests. If you have nothing else, farewell."

The saints of the Outer Realm did not reply; someone glanced towards the Great Thousand View side, noticing that figure seemed to ponder and hesitate, yet remained inactive.

Chongxiao approached the Sect Leader's side, transmitting angrily:

"Sect Leader, should we inform the saints of our sect? Our Great Thousand View has long not emerged, yet in this era, we've suffered humiliation several times, the world has forgotten our renown!"

Tian Cang did not respond; he was unraveling, trying to find the "figure" of the person behind recent attacks and hunts.

Previously, both openly and covertly, there were a total of four strikes, but the clone's lack of perfection, coupled with simultaneous resistance to Heavenly Will's suppression, made it impossible for him to discern how many were involved.

The only thing he could confirm was the source of the blade light, distinct and divergent from other behind-the-scenes figures, clearly not from the same faction.

And those who intervened, even if not transcenders, were close, perhaps among them there were those rumored to lower their rank...

This reminded Tian Cang of some ancient and distant legends. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Another most ancient source of Dao...

Mysterious powerhouses hidden within the Dao Source...

Could it be those long-travelled transcenders are really on the path of return?

Thinking of this, even though his true form had embarked on an alternative Dao route, stepping into the realm of transcendence, Tian Cang still experienced a rare sense of foreboding named shudder.

Compared to them, these beings are the true "Taotie"!

Even those who harmonize with one realm, in the eyes of these "Taotie", are but banquets a bit tough to gobble, needing to be dealt with later.

Could this realm be a channel for return?

"We will not be the first to start the war."

Tian Cang glanced deeply towards the direction of the Netherworld, surprising the surrounding saints by choosing to depart directly.

Before his final departure, he informed Chongxiao:

"This Saint King dares not leave the Netherworld for now; remain here, see if Fu Dao has a possibility of returning. If there's a chance, guide him back; I was intercepted previously and couldn't attend to him."

Chongxiao's expression changed drastically; they were unaware of the upheaval in the Great Universe, but the Sect Leader only left a mark on Fu Dao, so did the interception occur in the Great Universe?!

But the Taiyou lineage said, isn't the Great Universe presently only accommodating the Heavenly King level?

A sense of ominous foreboding arose within him.

After Tian Cang's figure vanished.

Among the saints of the Outer Realm, someone murmured:

"The Sect Leader's clone of the Great Thousand View descended upon the Netherworld, yet was repelled by it; just how eerie is this Netherworld..."

Chongxiao glared viciously at the True Saint who deliberately murmured that.

"In the Great Universe, changes have occurred, you should worry more about your own Heavenly Monarchs."

Upon hearing Chongxiao's words, the saints of various sects had grim expressions, deducing the truth.

A True Saint asked solemnly: "Your sect's leader, was he recently hindered in the Great Universe? Was it the Heavenly Will intervening, or were there other formidable powers?"

If it was merely the Heavenly Will expelling, that's fine, but if it was the latter, their sect's Heavenly Monarchs are in danger.

Chongxiao snorted coldly: "Mere Heavenly Will, even if the Sect Leader's clone descends, he has his ways to deal with it temporarily."

Then it could only be another stronger force intervening...

The worst scenario arose, and all saints frowned.

In the recent confrontation with the Netherworld saints, the relationship between the two sides was not amicable.

If their sect's Heavenly Monarch fell into the hands of the Netherworld, retrieving them, ransom is secondary; what's feared is losing face, and possibly in the end, losing face and failing to retrieve them.

They looked towards the distant, indifferently-faced saints of the Netherworld, feeling incredibly distressed.

Tricky...

...

...

After this battle.

Ji Jingqiu led Kong Xiao and Qi Tian into the Sealed Land.

The overwhelming killing intent that greeted them made the faces of the two Heavenly Monarchs change dramatically; this overwhelming killing intent was secondary, the embedded high-rank aura and Dao Rhyme were the true keys.

"A Supreme Rank True Saint?" Kong Xiao said solemnly.

"Death Demon! Is this the Federation's crucial seal site for subduing the Death Demon?!" Qi Tian blurted out.

Compared to Kong Xiao, he was more aware of the situation in the Netherworld, knowing that Ji Jingqiu's Yanhuang Federation had successively subdued three of the Four Demons, performing astounding feats, with unfathomable foundations.
