Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1209 - 11: The Doctrine of the Demon Buddha

The dirt qi in the Heavenly Court seemed to reduce slightly, a rare gentle breeze blew, bringing a faint purity, revealing a majestic figure within.

Half of the Great Heavenly Venerate's body was stained with blood, his revealed hand even showing cracks, with dirt qi subtly moving within, suppressed by divine light.

He seemed heavily injured, yet displayed no embarrassment, rather a kind of casual calmness.

A flame light broke through the void and landed nearby, revealing the figure of the Drought Demon Ba. Seeing the Great Heavenly Venerate's injuries, she was about to ask, but the Great Heavenly Venerate waved his hand, saying: "It's no matter, I allowed myself to take a hit voluntarily."

The hand holding the Green Duckweed Sword was flowing with Shangqing Dao Light, communicating with this First Grade Dao Artifact bearing Lingbao Tianzun's Dao Fruit, a pure qi traveled along the arm over the body surface, wiping out all the emanating dirt qi.

The qi was pure to the extreme, yet showing destructive power no inferior to All Heaven Divine Sha.

The Great Heavenly Venerate squinted slightly, an invisible connection emerged from him, extending into the void. In the next instant, the sky dome shifted, wind and clouds visible, as a vast existence descended here mysteriously.

Unlike a Heavenly Monarch appearing as an invisible monster, displaying heavenly might yet carrying unfathomable intrigue, this invisible existence now was awe-inspiringly lofty, like observing the heavens and earth.

This is Heaven.

Only at this moment, Heaven carried a slight aura of turbidity, seemingly affected somewhat by the Great Heavenly Venerate's injuries.

"Though the Heaven is manifested with Fuxi Dao Fruit as the core, I am ultimately not the master of Fuxi Dao Fruit, and to completely grasp this Dao Fruit, still requires some effort."

The Great Heavenly Venerate calmly said: "I could have blocked this strike, even if Jiang Li forced me back, I wouldn't have been so severely injured. The reason for taking it directly was to leverage his power to further control Heaven, and break the restriction set at Heaven's birth."

From the current situation, it seems the Great Heavenly Venerate's plan has somewhat succeeded.

He used Jiang Li... or rather used the Power of Dharma Decline to open a breach, also intending to use the Green Duckweed Sword to further break Heaven's limitations until one day he could truly grasp the power of Fuxi Dao Fruit, accommodate Fuxi Dao Fruit.

This body of his is meant for this purpose.

Carrying the Dao Fruit of Great Zhou's Grand Ancestor, it can still advance, promoting to the Second Grade until finally advancing to the First Grade.

As the Great Heavenly Venerate spoke, his gaze fixed ahead, the dirt wind had subsided, even returning to calm, a pure and peaceful aura quietly spread, those damaged palaces around seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

Vaguely, a gigantic Golden Buddha appeared, sitting like a mountain in the front.

The words of the Great Heavenly Venerate were explained to Drought Demon Ba, but more importantly meant for this Tathagata to hear.

Though wounded, the situation was completely under his control, even having taken the Green Duckweed Sword.

Shakyamuni Tathagata wanting to seize the Green Duckweed Sword from the Great Heavenly Venerate is no simple task, not only facing the sword's power but also the power of the heavens.

Only outside the Three Pure Ones can the Great Heavenly Venerate exert full force, truly embody Heaven.

The Buddha Image of Tathagata observing the Great Heavenly Venerate, with Pure Saint energy gradually revealing, the ground transforming into a scarlet gold color, Buddha Light slowly brightening, forming a round light behind Tathagata's head.

The Great Heavenly Venerate remained unmoved, merely watching quietly as Heaven gradually displayed heavenly might from above, a heavy pressure descended, suppressing the Buddha Land's formation.

Both sides seemed to be gathering momentum, gradually elevating the aura, about to ascend to a peak.

Suddenly, Shakyamuni Tathagata withdrew holy energy, followed by the echo of Buddhist chanting.

"Long time no see...······"

As the words fell, the Golden Buddha Dharma gradually faded, the Buddha Land also disappearing.

The Great Heavenly Venerate's gaze concentrated, the accumulated momentum about to erupt, yet suppressed by him.

"Go."

The Great Heavenly Venerate said softly, the invisible power enveloping himself and Drought Demon Ba also vanished from the Heavenly Court.

Subsequently, the sky dome fluctuated, Heaven's presence rapidly receding, withdrawing from the Heavenly Court, hidden within the vast heaven.

······

······

Shortly after the departure of the Great Heavenly Venerate and Shakyamuni Tathagata, roughly the time it takes to brew tea, a stream of light fell, Jiang Li appeared wielding the Pangu Banner, followed by Sun Wukong arriving on a cloud.

The monkey's eyes were sharp, scanning in all directions, perceiving layer upon layer of space, listening with Six Ears, finally clicking his tongue lightly, saying: "Gone."

"Indeed, gone."

A figure flew out from Sun Wukong's eyes, transforming from virtual to real, Ye Ru playing with prayer beads, landing on the ground, continuing: "A trace of Buddha Intent remains around, likely left by those two Tathagatas. They met with the Great Heavenly Venerate's side but did not engage."

"What a pity." Jiang Li lamented.

Intentionally leaving some time was to let these two sides clash.

Though the Great Heavenly Venerate's plan was disrupted by a certain monkey, unable to fully obtain three First Grade Dao Artifacts, at least he got the Green Duckweed Sword, while those two of the Buddhist sect gained nothing, even exposed their current strength.

Under such circumstances, discovering the Great Heavenly Venerate, how could they not be tempted?

However, from the facts, Shakyamuni Tathagata did not harbor greed this time.

Moreover, the Great Heavenly Venerate was decisive enough to directly withdraw from heaven, even Heaven completely vanished to avoid being blocked by Jiang Li bringing people.

Though Jiang Li might not necessarily handle Heaven, he could rally support. Even without calling Ye Ru for help, he could still call the already promoted Daoist Lord to lend him a hand without trouble.
