“Building Buddhist temples should come from genuine sincerity, not to please the Buddha or to ignore the suffering of the common people.”
“As for my subjects, how I choose to dispatch them has nothing to do with you, little monk. Why are you meddling in affairs that are not your concern?”
“If there are injustices in the world, one should drink wine and wield a knife to behead those responsible.”
Chen Yi’s gaze toward the people of Reed Leaf Nation was filled with murderous intent.
Master Lu Changsheng’s teachings were always heeded by Chen Yi.
“Seeking death!”
The Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation was furious.
Before making his move, he secretly used a Thousand Mile Messaging Talisman to send the current scene to the Grand Freedom Buddha at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple: “Master, this little monk has destroyed the birthday gift intended for you. Please forgive me, Master. I will kill him now.”
Worried that the Grand Freedom Buddha would be enraged, the Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation explained in advance.
Thereafter, the Emperor energized his cultivation technique, his body ablaze with golden light, appearing like a Buddha descending upon the world, his palms infused with endless power: “Let me show you a high-grade holy cultivation technique—the Great Prajna Palm. To die under this technique is your honor!”
“Long live the Emperor!”
All the civil and military officials and high monks of Reed Leaf Nation cheered.
Their Emperor was unparalleled in Reed Leaf Nation!
The “Great Prajna Palm” was a high-grade holy Buddhist technique taught to the Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation by the Grand Freedom Buddha. In the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortals, a holy technique represented the highest grade!
As long as His Majesty made a move, that ignorant little monk was sure to die!
Chen Yi’s expressionless face counteracted with a palm strike: “Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand!”
Chen Yi’s Buddhist force transformed into three thousand golden Demon Subduing Hands, covering the sky and overwhelmingly vast, striking towards the Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation.
In front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand, the Emperor’s Great Prajna Palm was as insignificant as an ant.
The Emperor’s face changed drastically: “How can you know the Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand! That is an Emperor Tier Buddhist technique!”
It was too late. The multilayered Demon-Subduing Hands pressed down upon the Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation, suppressing him completely!
The three thousand layers of palm force obliterated the Emperor’s body and spirit!
“He is a Quasi-Buddha!”
“His Majesty, His Majesty is dead!”
“What exactly is your origin?!”
Other powerhouses of Reed Leaf Nation witnessed their Emperor being subdued by Chen Yi in a single move, all shocked to the core.
Chen Yi displayed the strength of a Quasi-Emperor’s cultivation and employed an Emperor Tier Buddhist technique, completely overpowering everyone present.
“You who abet tyranny also deserve to die.”
Chen Yi pointed his finger, striking down the civil and military officials of Reed Leaf Nation with his fingertip force.
One by one, the officials were executed by Chen Yi, without any chance to resist.
“Flee!”
Knowing they were no match for Chen Yi and not daring to resist, they hurriedly fled.
“Minor Pure Land!”
Chen Yi activated the Empowerment Staff, which shone with golden light, forming a vast barrier that enveloped all the strongmen of Reed Leaf Nation.
The strongmen desperately attacked the barrier with various treasures, causing the golden light to tremble, yet they were unable to break the barrier.
This Buddhist technique was a barrier technique mastered by Chen Yi when he awakened his memories from a past life; it was already at the level of a divine technique. Thus, these Earth and Heavenly Immortal powerhouses were, of course, unable to break it.
“Extinguish.”
Chen Yi’s ten fingers came together, and as the chanting within the Minor Pure Land rose, all the trapped Reed Leaf Nation strongmen had their divine sense completely erased!
When the Empowerment Staff landed in Chen Yi’s hand, hundreds of Reed Leaf Nation powerhouses had fallen.
The remaining overseers were merely small fries; the cultivators enslaved by Reed Leaf Nation could handle them on their own.
Soon, the abusive overseers were killed by the angry cultivators.
“We thank the monk for lending a hand in our rescue, for without you, we would continue to live in dire straits.”
“May I ask for the monk’s origin? We are willing to build a Buddhist temple for you, ensuring that the incense burns forever.”
After regaining their freedom, these cultivators thanked Chen Yi.
“The Emperor is dead. Do you have a new leader? If Reed Leaf Nation falls into chaos because of this, it would be a grave mistake.”
“The Ninth Prince was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for opposing the Emperor’s construction of the Heaven-reaching Pagoda. From now on, we intend to support the Ninth Prince as the new Emperor of Reed Leaf Nation.”
“Then I am relieved.”
Chen Yi stayed briefly, ensuring the Ninth Prince’s ascension and the restoration of order in Reed Leaf Nation, then left without saying goodbye.
Chen Yi accumulated merit and good deeds, and both the Empowerment Staff and the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, two Merit Treasures, grew in power, with their qualities enhanced. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
Suddenly, Chen Yi stopped in the wilderness.
He sensed danger.
He was being targeted.
“Since you’ve come, why bother hiding and sneaking around? Why don’t you show yourself?”
“As expected of the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha, your six senses are incredibly sharp.”
The magnificent Grand Freedom Buddha appeared out of thin air, hovering in midair, radiating light for thousands of feet around him.
The terrifying pressure of the Grand Freedom Buddha descended, making Chen Yi feel as though he was bearing the weight of thousands of mountains, incredibly heavy.
“Kneel!”
With a loud shout, the Grand Freedom Buddha released his pressure to its fullest, attempting to force Chen Yi to his knees.
For miles around, the earth shook and the mountains trembled, with the Buddha’s radiance enveloping this part of the world.
Chen Yi clenched his teeth, veins popping on his forehead, knees trembling violently.
But Chen Yi just would not kneel.
The Grand Freedom Buddha looked somewhat wary.
He had set up a scheme that killed Chen Yi’s parents, mentor, and childhood sweetheart, and had also offended Chen Yi’s master. Chen Yi was the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha, with limitless potential. If Chen Yi were to recover his cultivation from ancient times, the Grand Freedom Buddha would undoubtedly die.
If possible, he must eradicate Chen Yi while he was still weak.
Even if it meant offending Mount Taihua, it was worth the risk.
Mount Taihua probably wouldn’t go to war with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple over the killing of a Holy Son’s disciple.
Besides, since Chen Yi had killed his external disciples and destroyed his Treasure Pagoda, the Grand Freedom Buddha had found an excuse.
“You killed my disciple, you seek your own death.”
The Grand Freedom Buddha harbored the intent to kill and employed the Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand.
The Demon Subduing Hand unleashed by the Grand Freedom Buddha was even more vast and destructive than the one Chen Yi had used, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Although Chen Yi’s realm was inferior to that of the Grand Freedom Buddha, he too utilized the Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand, engaging in a direct clash.
One golden Buddhist hand after another was shattered.
“How does this guy also know the ‘Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand’? He must have awakened part of his past life memories, which is why he learned some cultivation techniques. I cannot let him continue to grow; he must be killed.”
The murderous intent of the Grand Freedom Buddha grew stronger.
“Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand!”
The Grand Freedom Buddha employed the Emperor Tier top-grade cultivation technique, “Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand”!
Ten thousand golden hands covered Chen Yi, suppressing him in succession!
“Puh!”
Unable to resist the robust power of the Grand Freedom Buddha, Chen Yi spat out golden blood again and again.
Though Chen Yi was the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha, his cultivation period was still short, his past life memories not fully awakened yet, and he simply could not withstand the Grand Freedom Buddha who had been cultivating for nine million years.
Chen Yi’s Buddha body developed tiny cracks under the Grand Freedom Buddha’s assault.
Water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool surged into Chen Yi’s body, using supreme willpower to heal his physique.
Chen Yi’s Buddhist power condensed into an eighteen-foot-tall golden body, protecting his flesh.
Countless layers of golden Buddhist hands engulfed the golden body, which kept breaking apart only to be healed again by the water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
“Hmm?”
The Grand Freedom Buddha was surprised to see that Chen Yi, with his Quasi-Emperor cultivation, had managed to withstand his “Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand.”
A normal Quasi-Emperor would have already been annihilated by the Grand Freedom Buddha’s Ten Thousand Buddha Subduing Demon Hand.
“Do you possess some special treasure? Well, that’s even better. Once I kill you, that treasure will be mine as well.”
The Grand Freedom Buddha realized there must be a special treasure aiding Chen Yi in repairing his physical body; otherwise, Chen Yi could not possibly have survived an Emperor Tier top-grade technique without dying.
“Great Brahma God Seal!”
No longer underestimating his opponent, the Grand Freedom Buddha gathered his immense Buddhist power and formed a golden seal, sending it crashing towards Chen Yi. He intended to obliterate Chen Yi in one fell swoop, leaving no chance for the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to continue its restorative work.
Before the Great Brahma God Seal even struck, its oppressive power alone caused the ground to crack, leaving thousands of feet of imprints.
The Grand Freedom Buddha poured his power into the seal for one strike, yet it possessed the might to destroy heaven and earth.
“Dragon-Elephant Limitless Fist!”
A loud cry echoed, accompanied by the roar of dragons and tigers. The vast fist energy was overwhelming, shattering the Great Brahma God Seal!
The Grand Freedom Buddha’s expression turned ugly as a figure appeared in front of Chen Yi.
It was none other than Lu Changsheng, with whom he had a history of grievances.
Lu Changsheng now actually possessed the strength to contend with him.
Lu Changsheng said indifferently, “Bullying a disciple, what ability is that? If you have the skill, confront me instead.”
