Chapter 381: Xi Yan Bodhi, Divine Race Returns (Guaranteed)

Li Hao pressed forward, and after splitting Qing Deng Buddha's Dharma Form, suddenly used Guixu to approach and continued to slash out with his sword.

The power of this sword did not diminish, similarly mobilizing the power of Heaven and Earth. The Heaven and Earth Meridian behind him rapidly gathered and collected energy, and in the Heaven and Earth Meridian, faint specks of starlight faintly emerged. That was a small amount of the power of the All Heavens Star Meridian.

Otherwise, the Heaven and Earth Meridian alone would not be enough to support Li Hao's extreme extravagance.

"You indeed have mastered the means of a Supreme Saint…"

Qing Deng Buddha's face turned slightly pale. His Dharma Form shattered, and the incense power he had gathered instantly dissipated by half. The power carried by that sword could actually exceed the incense power he had collected from the Buddhist holy land. Such means of instantly condensing such majestic power, unless relying on a holy land, could only borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Seeing Li Hao approach, he did not retreat. A more intense killing intent emerged in his eyes. The Dharma Form suddenly bloomed with green flames, and both arms continuously slapped down towards Li Hao.

With a bang, a violent tremor occurred. Sword Qi, like a silver giant dragon, howled and destroyed the Buddha palms.

However, behind the destroyed Buddha palms, Qing Deng Buddha stood in the center of the Dharma Form. He flipped out that green lamp from his hand.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "This time, I will never let you escape!"

If the opponent wanted to use this magic treasure to escape again, he would have to use the power of the Minor Extreme Realm of Three Saints United.

Qing Deng Buddha did not respond. He glanced at the green lamp in his hand, and a trace of sadness and regret appeared in his eyes. This green lamp carried his Daoist念 (dao nian - Daoist thought/concept/belief), his years of cultivation, and had accompanied him for countless years. Now…

"A Buddhist lamp illuminates a thousand years of darkness."

He murmured and chanted.

The green lamp in his hand, like a lotus platform, bloomed with dazzling and brilliant green light, spreading across the entire sky.

Heaven and Earth were all reflected in green. Then, this green color transformed into raging flames. An aura containing heavenly tribulation and majestic antiquity emerged from the Buddhist lamp.

Li Hao's face changed slightly. He stared at the Buddhist lamp, but saw that even with his divine eyes, he was obscured by the blazing green light and could no longer see the green lamp. On the contrary, he saw Qing Deng Buddha himself transform into the core of this green light. In an instant, there seemed to be an illusion that Qing Deng Buddha had become the wick of the lamp.

This green light seemed to burn out from his own flesh.

Along with it, the power of the surrounding Heaven and Earth was boiling for it. Streaks of tribulation force emerged in the void, containing the power of destructive thunder.

These tribulation forces were scurrying and gathering, coiling around Qing Deng Buddha's Dharma Form.

Li Hao stopped. He felt Qing Deng Buddha was brewing terrifying killing intent. If he rashly broke in, it would instead prematurely trigger a more violent offensive.

He did not dare to underestimate his enemy. As an ancient Three Disasters Saint, the power of his deathbed counterattack was absolutely not to be taken lightly.

Li Hao took a deep breath, and starlight surged behind him, completely revealing the All Heavens Star Meridian.

In an instant, condensed light gathered from all directions, reflected from all the heavens.

As the qi meridians of the All Heavens Star power connected, a vast and boundless power emanated from him, actually not inferior to the brilliant green light in the slightest.

At the same time, Qing Deng Buddha's Dharma Form raised its hand, and in the green light of its palm, a gray thunder light emerged. This thunder light flickered continuously, emitting terrifying tribulation force and an ancient aura.

"This lamp seals a wisp of ancient tribulation force. It is the power dissipated when legendary immortals and gods underwent tribulation. This is why even Supreme Saints are courteous to me!"

Qing Deng Buddha raised his head, and a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes. The Dharma Form suddenly raised its hand, and the gray tribulation light suddenly turned into dazzling thunder, tearing through the sky. With a booming sound, it seemed to carve a curved crack in the sky.

Then, the tribulation force instantly attacked Li Hao.

This tribulation force arrived in response to his thought. Li Hao looked up, and instantly smelled the aura of death and destruction.

He did not retreat, and there was no retreat. Everything was too fast, but he was already prepared. Regardless of all kinds of divine abilities and skills, his strongest reliance and attack method was still the sword in his hand.

Therefore, this sword condensed the power of the All Heavens Star Meridian, and was also the power of 化仙 (hua xian - transforming into an immortal/transcendence). It instantly stirred up the power of half the sky, and fiercely slashed out.

The splendor and brilliance of that sword were extremely dazzling, and the majestic power of Heaven and Earth contained within seemed to truly manifest the demeanor of an immortal pointing a finger.

The moment the tribulation force fell, the sword light pointed out, like an ancient immortal, raising a hand and gently pointing at the tribulation light.

Boom!!

But what followed was a booming sound that shook over tens of thousands of miles. Countless common people in the divine dynasties were shaken by the exploding thunder, and some timid ones were directly frightened and prostrated on the ground.

In the Buddhist holy land, many Buddhist disciples and numerous holy sons all suffered from hearing loss and blindness. The aura that erupted in that instant caused many disciples to be shaken by the aftermath, spurting out blood. Some with lower cultivation, even though they were far away, still died on the spot.

The majestic and magnificent Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, in this shaking tremor, was also fragmented and disintegrated. The three golden Buddha statues in the hall rapidly cracked open, and the compassionate and peaceful Buddha faces were smashed and destroyed as beams and tiles fell and shattered.

The green light in the sky dissipated. That sword, which seemed to exist forever, also dissipated. The tribulation force also dissipated.

Qing Deng Buddha's Dharma Form shattered, becoming illusory, in the midst of dissipating.

He looked dazed, somewhat absent-minded, and somewhat lost. But in the end, his gaze only fell on the green lamp in his hand.

This ancient Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, nurtured by Heaven and Earth, its lamp wick flickered, gradually weakening, and finally, it went out.

As the wick went out, small cracks slowly appeared on the Buddhist lamp, until there were more and more, and finally with a bang, it transformed into specks of starlight, shattering in the void between his palms.

When that wisp of tribulation force was released, the Buddhist lamp would dissipate, and this Emperor Weapon would also fall. But he did not expect that such a method was still no match for the young man in front of him. The opponent was clearly just a new saint who had just transcended the Human Tribulation, how could he be so strong?

Until the specks of green light completely dissipated, his eyes slowly lifted and fell on Li Hao who was approaching in front of him.

He did not escape, nor was he afraid. There was no anger or killing intent on his face, only calmness, and a hint of ridicule.

"If the Supreme Saints were not so eager to become immortals and gods, an anomaly like you would definitely be intolerable to them…"

A prodigy and anomaly is often courted by major forces, but if the anomaly is extreme to the point of being able to overturn the major force, they will be feared.

Although Li Hao used Guixu to teleport to his front, he did not immediately attack. He had already sensed that the vitality in Qing Deng Buddha's body was rapidly declining. Just now, he had manipulated the tribulation force, but was also injured by the tribulation force, and failed to survive this tribulation.

"If your Buddhist sect can distinguish between good and evil, then the grievances between me and the Buddha Son are just grievances between the two of us."

Li Hao said calmly.

Hearing this, the ridicule in Qing Deng Buddha's eyes turned into a bitter smile. He raised his head and quietly looked at the sky, and said:

"The Supreme Saints all want to take that step, and how could we not want to? Not becoming immortals and gods will ultimately turn to ashes. I heard that immortals and gods have tribulations. Buddha Venerable, Buddha Son, and I originally planned to all experience the Three Disasters and unite with the Dao to become immortals. None of us could be missing. Although no one has walked this path before, we wanted to try…"

He whispered softly, telling these things, but cracks gradually appeared in his body, and his skin and flesh ruptured.

But he seemed indifferent, only quietly saying:

"If not for this, regarding the matter between you and the Buddha Son, I would naturally know good and evil and right and wrong, and would handle it impartially…"

"Perhaps, this is tribulation. Wanting to become immortals and gods, but therefore inviting tribulation…"

Speaking of this, he thought of how even using tribulation force, he had not been able to kill Li Hao, and could not help but laugh even more bitterly.

Even saints, who have comprehended the Great Karma Technique and understand the theory of destiny, still find it difficult to escape from it and jump out of reincarnation.

"My Buddhist sect has countless disciples, many of whom are innocent and unaware. I hope you can forgive them."

Half of Qing Deng Buddha's body had already dissipated. He looked at Li Hao and said softly, his eyes becoming gentle, with the compassion of a Buddha.

Hearing this, Li Hao said indifferently, "Even if you didn't say it, I would still do this. But those who harbor killing intent towards me will not be spared."

Qing Deng Buddha softly said "Amitabha Buddha, well done," a trace of relief appearing in his eyes. Then, with a lingering look at the Buddha Mountain under his feet, his figure gradually dissipated.

As Qing Deng Buddha's body completely disappeared into the void, and his aura also slowly dissipated, the entire Buddhist holy land became exceptionally quiet.

But after a long time, bursts of mournful cries sounded, calling out Qing Deng Buddha's name.

Many disciples, including those Half-Saints, some had tears in their eyes, some had a desolate expression, and they knelt down, bidding farewell to this ancient Buddha.

In the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, the Sword Master and Sword Saint stood in the void, looking remotely towards the Buddhist sect.

When Qing Deng Buddha's aura dissipated, a trace of sigh appeared in both of their eyes.

This Buddhist sect, which had stood tall for countless years, would from today, actually dissipate.

That Qing Deng Buddha, was already a saint when they were not yet saints, but he also could not escape the killing tribulation.

Elsewhere, the Literary Ancestor Saint in the Literary Ancestor Holy Land, also stood in the void and looked remotely. He sighed, and muttered to himself:

"Right and wrong, merit and demerit, immortal fame and disgrace, even saints, after all, cannot see through it and escape it…"

In the Buddhist holy land, Li Hao's expression was calm. Amidst the cries of mourning from the Buddhist disciples, he remained unmoved. If Qing Deng Buddha had not fought to the death, burning himself out but still failing to kill him, there would not have been the final compassion.

When powerless, only a heart of kindness remains.

With a flash of his figure, he came to the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, swept away the rubble, and took out the treasures of Heaven and Earth sealed under the three golden statues inside.

Then, Li Hao returned to the Half-Saints in the void and said:

"Buddha Venerable is dead, and Qing Deng Buddha has also fallen. From now on, the Buddhist sect will be removed from Heaven and Earth. If you still claim to be of the Buddhist sect, no matter how many thousands of miles away, I will kill you with a single thought!"

His words contained the majesty of a saint, causing the many Half-Saints to feel not only sorrow, but also anger and fear.

Many Buddhist disciples, hearing Li Hao say that Buddha Venerable was dead, found it hard to believe. But Qing Deng Buddha was killed by Li Hao within the holy land, then Buddha Venerable was most likely already in trouble, otherwise he would have already appeared.

For a time, the cries of grief became even louder.

Li Hao ignored them, and his divine sense enveloped the Buddhist holy land, and immediately found some good things.

Such as a Bodhi tree behind the Buddha Mountain, condensing brilliant fruits, containing a rich Dao rhyme aura.

Li Hao came to this tree. This tree actually gave birth to intelligence. Seeing Li Hao's arrival, it sent out a muffled low voice:

"Not of my Buddhist sect, I would rather self-destruct than entrust myself to you."

As it spoke, the treasure light on the tree body converged, the leaves trembled, and fruits fell one by one. Some collapsed inward, as if about to rot.

Li Hao's face turned cold, and the Eternal Dao Domain suddenly enveloped and suppressed it. In the Dao Domain, time seemed to slow down.

He picked up a fruit, took a bite, and found that it tasted sweet, containing pure power, actually a 聞道果 (wen dao guo - Dao Comprehension Fruit).

"This Buddhist sect, actually has a Dao Comprehension Fruit tree."

Li Hao was a little surprised. In the Mo River, a fruit required ten thousand points. This tree had a large bunch of fruits, at least a hundred.

"Want to self-destruct, then I will save you."

Li Hao said coldly, and called out Xi Yan.

Xi Yan was a little stunned when she saw this fruit. Li Hao said to her, "You and it are both of the same wood spirit origin, it wants to seek death, you come help it."

Xi Yan immediately understood Li Hao's meaning, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face, saying, "Then I won't be polite!"

As she spoke, she transformed into a red vine, quickly entwining around the Bodhi tree, and then rooted into it, sucking the nutrients and power from the Bodhi tree.

The Bodhi tree was horrified to be sucked by Xi Yan, and angrily said, "You are inhumane!"

"Clichéd."

Li Hao said indifferently, sat down in this courtyard, called for some tea from the hall, poured and drank it himself, while waiting for Xi Yan to absorb the Bodhi tree, and continued to explore other places in the Buddhist holy land with his divine sense.

Soon, Li Hao found traces of some more treasures. He enveloped them with his Daoist thoughts and adsorbed them all over.

Although he could not use these treasures, he could give them to friends in the future.

In addition, he also found two treasures of Heaven and Earth, under a Buddha statue in a secret hall.

Apart from these, Li Hao also found some incomplete forbidden zone maps, and fragments of shattered Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapons, like ordinary iron, without any special power, just hard enough.

After a long time, Xi Yan completely absorbed the Bodhi tree. The branches and leaves of this tree changed from being radiant with Buddha light to dim and rotten, and the fruits on it changed from being full to wrinkled, like shriveled loofahs.

On the contrary, Xi Yan was actually emitting auspicious light all over her body. She herself was originally a blood vine, bearing the resentment of slaughter, born in a place buried with corpses, absorbing the essence and blood of countless lives to nourish her consciousness. Now, absorbing this Bodhi tree containing Buddhist nature, seemed to cause some kind of transformation.

On her body, Li Hao actually sensed an aura of Buddhist and demonic intermingling. This aura reminded him of the Twin Buddha Son, but the aura on Xi Yan's body was completely unified, deeper and closer than the Twin Buddha Son.

The path pursued by the Twin Buddha Son, he had not succeeded in traversing, but Xi Yan seemed to have succeeded.

Li Hao was a little surprised, and also felt a trace of the wonder of fate. Xi Yan followed him, although she was the red vine born from the essence and blood in a burial ground, but after her own transformation, her temperament was naturally pure and clear, without the concept of good and evil, and at this moment, she was even more in line with the origin of Buddhist and demonic unity.

Originally, there was no good or evil in the world, all were distinguished by the Saints.

Just like reptiles and beasts, they do not discuss good and evil, they eat when hungry, and the concept that killing is a sin does not exist.

Some saints say that the human race is the most evil in the world, not only greedy for food, but also suffering from slaughter, but the human race is also the most benevolent in the world, and is the only existence among many living beings that will release other creatures.

"I seem to be a little sleepy."

After Xi Yan absorbed the Bodhi tree, she seemed to be slightly drunk from drinking, and actually swayed, saying vaguely and charmingly to Li Hao.

Li Hao chuckled dumbly, she had eaten too much and could not digest it.

But at this moment on Xi Yan's body, there was actually a trace of faintly chaotic aura, which was an aura of mixed good and evil, yin and yang, etc.

Li Hao asked her to return to the Heaven and Earth space to rest well.

Then he finished drinking the tea, got up and went to search for the remaining treasures.

It has to be said, the taste of the tea in this Buddhist sect was indeed superb.

Before long, Li Hao scavenged the Buddhist holy land clean and turned to leave.

The many Buddhist Half-Saints saw Li Hao leaving and did not dare to stop him. They all knew that with the fall of the saints, the Buddhist sect would probably gradually dissipate in the future.

Not long after this great battle ended, the situation of the Buddhist sect became known in the many divine dynasties of the Azure Billow 界 (Cang Lan Jie - Azure Billow World), causing no small shock. This holy land, number one in the Azure Billow World, was actually swept away by someone, and it was still that anomaly who was a household name in the Azure Billow World, the top talent of the ranking battle.

Li Hao left the Azure Billow World, without meeting with the Sword Master and the others, but directly turned to the Void Holy Land in the Cloud Glow 界 (Yun Xia Jie - Cloud Glow World).

In the Void Holy Land, with the fall of Void Ancestor and Void Saint, there was even less power to resist.

Faced with Li Hao's arrival, they could only angrily reprimand with feigned strength, but after the Half-Saint who spoke was slapped into meat paste by Li Hao, the other Half-Saints did not dare to utter another word.

In front of a saint, their voices were extremely weak, and they could only wait for Void Ancestor and the others to return from Dao debate to avenge them.

Li Hao publicly scavenged in the Void Holy Land, and again found four treasures of Heaven and Earth, and many other treasures, including a Void Pearl, which was a treasure guarding the Void Holy Land.

This pearl could place the Void Holy Land, hidden in the void, and was a rare treasure for guarding the holy land.

Li Hao planned to give this item to Old Feng. If the Sky Stealing Holy Land was in trouble in the future, this item could help Old Feng.

After clearing the Void Holy Land, Li Hao continued to find the holy lands of those other saints who debated Dao with him earlier, and went to their door to ask for treasures of Heaven and Earth.

If he did not come to their door, the other party would not take the initiative to give them away. After all, this item was still extremely scarce.

While Li Hao was searching from door to door, time flew by. Half a month later, the news of the Dao debate among the saints spread, and the heavens were shaken.

And the most shocked were the Buddhist sect and the Void Holy Land. When they learned that Li Hao had killed 12 saints in the Dao debate, they were all in despair.

Especially the Void Holy Land, upon learning that Void Ancestor had been publicly killed by Li Hao, they were completely desperate.

Since then, Li Hao's reputation completely resounded throughout the heavens.

Li Hao searched around. Except for two holy lands that were unwilling to hand over the five treasures of Heaven and Earth as compensation, the rest of the holy lands unwillingly handed them over.

As for those two holy lands, Li Hao fought a battle inside, and finally they also handed over five treasures.

After touring around, Li Hao looked at the treasures of Heaven and Earth in his hand, and there were as many as 54.

Such a number of treasures of Heaven and Earth was enough to make many holy lands jealous. But Li Hao's current status was not what it used to be. Even if someone deduced the number of treasures of Heaven and Earth in Li Hao's hands, they would not dare to covet them. After all, Li Hao was already an existence second only to the Supreme Saints.

Li Hao returned to the Small Thousand World, preparing to feed all the treasures of Heaven and Earth to the Gongming Sword.

When he was about to enter the Small Thousand World, he encountered a figure in the void who stopped him.

Li Hao took a look and found it was Ying Xiaoxiao, whom he had seen before.

Seeing the other party, Li Hao thought of the divine realm that the other party had mentioned earlier, and the matter of the revival of the Divine Race Ancestor.

Such secret news, but the other party revealed it to him. Li Hao looked at her refined and otherworldly face, and smiled, saying:

"Why are you here, did you specifically wait for me?"

Ying Xiaoxiao looked at Li Hao, her expression complicated. She already knew about the Dao debate among the saints. When she encountered Li Hao when absorbing the Extreme Dao power earlier, she only thought that Li Hao was an anomaly with Three Disasters power. She did not expect Li Hao's saint path to be even more terrifying, causing a great commotion in the heavens.

"I know you will return here, so I waited for you here in advance."

Ying Xiaoxiao said.

"Is it about your ancestor? I have already solved Qing Deng Buddha and Void Ancestor for him. As for the Extreme Dao power, he can give it as he sees fit."

Li Hao laughed.

A trace of complexity flashed in Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she slightly shook her head, saying, "I am looking for you not for this matter, Ancestor's side…"

She slightly bit her lip. Earlier, Ancestor had told her not to meddle in other people's affairs, and did not care about the assistance of Li Hao she had invited. But after this Dao debate conference ended, she felt that Ancestor would most likely change his mind and might agree to cooperate.

But she was not so concerned about these now. She said to Li Hao:

"You are cultivating the path of becoming a saint through the flesh body. That Hun Tian Saint is also on this path, he will definitely be unfavorable to you!"

As she spoke, she looked at Li Hao with serious eyes.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, and could not help but laugh, saying, "You came here, just to say this?"

"You know?"

Ying Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Seeing Li Hao's expression, she knew that the other party seemed to have expected it.

Li Hao nodded and said, "Someone told me, I will be on guard. But it's you, in this sensitive period, countless saints' gazes are on me, your approaching me at this moment, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your Divine Race."

A hint of loss appeared in Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes. Hearing Li Hao's words, she slightly shook her head and said, "Since you know, then I am relieved. As for Ancestor's side, I will tell you when there is news."

Saying this, she glanced at Li Hao, then turned and stepped into the rift in Heaven and Earth, disappearing before Li Hao's eyes.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, watching the other party's aura completely disappear. He paused for a moment, then re-entered the Small Thousand World.

After returning to the Sky Stealing Holy Land, Li Hao gave the Void Pearl to Feng Boping.

Feng Boping had long heard that Li Hao had gone to various holy lands to ask for "compensation" these days, and also knew that Li Hao had destroyed the Void Holy Land, but he did not expect that Li Hao would actually get this pearl.

"This item can also be considered half a Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, you actually gave it to me?"

Feng Boping held the Void Pearl. This item was an excellent treasure for guarding a holy land. Although he could steal many things, this item happened to be an extremely difficult treasure to find, and he could not get it either.

"It's useless in my hands."

Li Hao laughed.

Feng Boping laughed and cursed, but did not refuse. This kind of treasure is useful to anyone, and he knew it was Li Hao's intention.

And he would soon go with Lie Tian Saint to complete a task, and at that time, the holy land would indeed need such a treasure to protect it.

Therefore, he did not decline too much and accepted it.

Li Hao bid farewell to Old Feng and returned to his courtyard. Then he took out many treasures of Heaven and Earth and the Gongming Sword and began to feed it.

At the same time, deep in the earth of a certain small world.

In the lava-like dim world, hot magma flowed everywhere.

An ancient shrine was built here. Ying Xiaoxiao in green clothes returned here. As soon as she entered the shrine, she heard her grandmother's pleasantly surprised voice coming:

"Xiaoxiao, you're here, quickly, come with me to pay respects to Ancestor, he has truly returned!"

Ying Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, and a bright light flashed in her eyes, and quickly followed her grandmother.
