Chapter 1174: Great Chaotic Battle
Buyu turned his gaze to the battlefield, the rosary beads on his neck moved even without the wind as a ring of buddhic light emitted from him. This buddhic light was extremely resplendent, lighting up the entire space in an instant as numerous ancient arhat buddhas appeared.
On the battlefield, Huang Shatian was fighting against three powerful experts, exuding an unexcelled aura. Each of his strikes could shake up his three opponents and despite each of his opponents being extremely strong, when one’s strength reached a certain level, the number of opponents you are fighting against wouldn’t do anything to mitigate the disparity in strength level. As one of the strongest experts in the sacred academy, one could very well imagine how powerful Huang Shatian was.
Buyu instantly understood that if they weren’t able to control Huang Shatian, the battlefield would eventually end up in a one-sided slaughter.
Pressing his hands together, and with a solemn and dignified look on his face. The buddhic light grew even brighter, spreading so far that even the spectators found themselves enveloped by it. Within this supreme buddhic light, there were a countless number of miraculously complex runic networks. Buyu stepped out as he vanished from his original location. In the next instant, he re-appeared above Huang Shatian as a buddha leg stomped down with incredible might, intend on slaughtering everything.
In addition, this attack was so sudden and unexpected. One could only praise Huang Shatian for having god-like reactions, he coldly snorted as spatial light covered him completely. Buyu’s buddha leg stomped down with an indomitable force, yet it only stomped down upon nothingness. Huang Shatian had completely disappeared into the void. But at this moment, an aura of destruction gushed forth from the leg, ravaging the nearby space, as though wanting to annihilate all things in the void as well.
The violent force frenziedly smashed into the layers of light circulating around Huang Shatian, forcing him back a certain distance. This was the first time Huang Shatian was forced to step back. The spectators could only stare at Buyu in awe, what a powerful monk.
Huang Shatian also stared at Buyu. The elegance in his demeanor was the same as always as he spoke in an emotionless voice, "For every generation of the Askheart Temple, they only allow three monks to wander the mortal world. The vast majority of the other monks of the temple were to provide auxiliary support to these three. The three great reverends of this generation, Buyu, who doesn’t like to speak, is one of them. He is slow-witted and dull in terms of talent, yet possessing extremely high combat prowess and absolute patience, able to spend countless years to cultivate all his buddhic arts to the extreme. Hence, the foundation of his cultivation base, is most stable."
"Buyu is slow-witted and have dull talent?" Everyone perspired when they heard Huang Shatian’s words. Despite such an evaluation, the monk Buyu was actually so powerful? He spent many years to cultivate all his attribute energies to their extremes. Was this the meaning of the saying that diligence made up for one’s lack of natural talent?
Buyu still remained silent, with his hands pressed together in prayer.
"Buchen’s talent is very high, but is temper is the most violent. Bujie’s cultivation base is the lowest currently, yet his talent is the highest out of the three, it’s said that Bujie is proficient in a myriad of buddhic arts and techniques, hence Buyu and Buchen doted tremendously on this junior brother of theirs. This also inadvertently caused Bujie to develop a lascivious and shameless character." Huang Shatian spoke with indifference. Everyone stared at his magnificent silhouette, and although Huang Shatian was powerful and arrogant, he was truly an extraordinary character. He even knew so much about the three chosen of the Askheart Temple of this generation.
"This little monk is so pure and innocent, yet I’m being slandered in such a way. Benefactor Shatian, if you twist black and white, you will surely descend to the eighteen levels of hell..." Bujie pressed his hands together, cursing Huang Shatian with a straight face.
"Today, since the three great reverends of the Askheart Temple are here, I want to experience Buyu’s strength since you have cultivated the attribute energies of the buddhist path to the extreme." Huang Shatian spoke and in the next instant, his human-emperor immortal foundation emitted a sharp ray of light that split apart space, aiming for Buyu. Buyu chanted a buddhist mnemonic, the rosary beads around his neck all transformed into buddhist sarira, generating layers of buddhic light, illuminating the space. Behind Buyu, a gigantic ancient buddha as well as 108 arhats manifested, revolving around him protectively.
The terrifying human emperor glow shot over, enveloping this entire space, madly lacerating everything it came in contact with. Such fearsome might was enough to rend this entire space into nothingness. Such extreme might then shot towards the golden arhats, intending to destroy them one by one but to the surprise of the spectators, these 108 arhats actually fused together into one true indestructible body, glowing with an immutable light.
"What a terrifying defense." The hearts of the spectators shook. Before this, they had never heard of Buyu’s name before. This monk was truly very low-profile but when in the sacred academy, it didn’t mean that those characters who were low-profile, were all weaklings.
"I want to see how long you can endure this." Huang Shatian coldly spoke. His perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation unleashed even more energy, wanting to destroy that. Most probably for Buyu to maintain such levels of defense, the consumption rate of energy must be astronomical.
"Benefactors, why are you guys still standing around watching?" The monk Buyu spoke. Only now did Qi Da and the others came to their senses. Although this monk was powerful, but when compared to Huang Shatian who had unparalleled killing might, the monk most probably wouldn’t be able to last for too long. They needed to join forces to deal with Huang Shatian.
"You guys just launch your attacks. My senior brother will help you all to control him." Bujie shouted loudly from below. Qi Da and the other two disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm stepped out, these four experts each then walked towards the four main directions.
With a loud roar, Qi Da circulated the Battle Saint Art to its extreme. A tyrannical palm imprint blotted out the skies and slammed over mercilessly. Tang Sheng slashed out a sword beam, his sword moving as fast as the wind, aiming for his opponent’s throat. The other expert also attacked at the same time.
Huang Shatian showed no fear at all. The boundless spatial light shrouded his figure and when those terrifying attacks descended, he would redirect them into the void. Both his hands blasted out at the same time, as two gigantic spatial swords formed, slashing out in two directions.
At the same time, Huang Shatian also stepped out, directly rushing Tang Sheng.
Tang Sheng waved his sword and created a light screen. But when Huang Shatian arrived, he merely stabbed out with a single finger, infusing all the emperor energy from his immortal foundation within, shattering the light screen effortlessly. But at this same time, Buyu’s attack also arrived from the sky. That heaven-trampling foot landed once more, Huang Shatian didn’t have time to finish off Tang Sheng and had to defend himself again. Tang Sheng hurriedly used this chance to lengthen the distance between them and Huang Shatian was blasted back by the combined efforts of these four once more.
Just like what Bujie has said. Buyu had an incomparable defense and he was capable of instantaneous attacks. He was truly suitable for controlling the movements of Huang Shatian, making it so that Huang Shatian couldn’t focus his all to deal with a single person.
"Senior brother is truly intelligent." Bujie praised in a heartfelt manner.
"Shameless." An expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire cursed. The combat prowess of this monk Buyu was truly shameless, the golden body formed by those 108 arhats was like the shell of a divine turtle, boasting of an insane defense.
"You can go and join them as well." Qin Wentian spoke to an expert from the Battle Saint Tribe who was protecting him. This expert was at the ninth-level as well and was exceedingly powerful. But because Huang Shatian’s threat was just too big, he still remained here to protect Qin Wentian.
"Saint Lord..." That person called out in a low voice.
"Go on. He is proficient in spatial energy. Don’t allow him an opportunity to kill his way out." Qin Wentian spoke. That expert nodded. His silhouette then flashed as he joined the group dealing with Huang Shatian. This time, there were five experts joining forces together. Even the powerful Huang Shatian was trapped by them. The attacks of these six were so overwhelming that they had a battlefield of their own, each clash between them causing the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
Qing`er and the other disciples of Matriarch Ji wanted to break out of the entrapment, yet they were continually being obstructed by experts from the Violet Emperor Sect and others. They simply had no way to reach the other side.
Right now, the other experts were all fighting their own respective battles. There was no allies around Qin Wentian, but he didn’t need anyone near him either.
Huang Shatian was blocked by the joined forces of five experts, but Huang Wudi wasn’t. His cultivation base was also very high and he injured numerous experts as he rushed over. However, with Buchen also added. Buchen was truly powerful, other than Huang Wudi, no one else on the battlefield was his match. As he struck out and injured several experts from the opposing force, he shook his head and spoke, "Such a battle is truly boring."
Huang Wudi finally arrived before him. His countenance was cold as he asked, "Does the Askheart Temple really intend to interfere in this?"
"Your Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire’s Huang Youdi has already been defeated in a fair battle, yet there are so many of you wanting to act together and deal with a fifth-level immortal-foundation character. How shameless." Buchen spoke.
"When did the monks of the Askheart Temple have so many rules? If you are strong, you are strong. Weaklings should have an understanding of their strength level. Aren’t monks of your Askheart Temple also like this? You guys can bully others but others cannot bully you. Isn’t that the same as us?" Huang Wudi spoke. "In addition, do you really think that with you and Buyu, the two of you are strong enough to change the situation?"
As Huang Wudi spoke, there were already experts attacking. Three experts landed before Qin Wentian, their cultivations all extremely strong.
The experts from the Battle Saint Tribe wanted to help but they were all tied down and had no way to get near Qin Wentian.
"There’s no need to care about me." Qin Wentian roared loudly when he saw a large number of experts wanting to rush to his rescue.
"Qing`er, I will head towards the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock of the Sky Connecting Realm, there’s no need for you all to continue fighting." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over. The target of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was him alone. In fact, he didn’t sense what Huang Youdi said was true, that Huang Shatian was interested in Qing`er. For Huang Shatian hasn’t even spared Qing`er a single glance since the time when he arrived. In the hearts of such a character, cultivation was king, cultivation was everything. There was no room for love at all.
The next moment, Qin Wentian transformed into a great roc and with a flash, he sped like a bolt of lightning towards the far horizons.
"Everyone, my heart is filled with boundless gratitude knowing that you guys are willing to fight for me. Their target is me, there’s no need to fight so bitterly, just retreat if there’s a need to do so." Qin Wentian’s voice rumbled out like thunder. And as expected, when they saw Qin Wentian leaving, several experts coldly snorted and stepped out, leaving the battlefield, pursuing after him.
If Qin Wentian remained here, those helping him to fight would only face even greater pressure. If he left, many enemy experts would pursue after him.
Everyone knew that the target of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was Qin Wentian. This time around, Huang Shatian, Huang Wudi and so many experts appeared at the same time. If Qin Wentian managed to somehow escape, it would surely be an extremely humiliating manner for them.
For a period of time, chaos was everywhere. Several experts soared into the air and chased after the direction which Qin Wentian fled in. Many of the spectators also flew up, wanting to continue to watch the drama. It was very rare for such a large-scale battle to occur in the sacred academy. They wanted to see what the end result would be.
There was only a single battle here that wasn’t chaotic - Huang Shatian’s battlefield. Right now, the five experts gave their all and constantly locked him down. This battle was truly heaven-shattering in terms of the commotion it caused. Staring at the magnificence of Huang Shatian, the spectators couldn’t all help but to sigh. Maybe that prophesied ancient emperor character that would be born in the future, was none other than him!
