Everlasting Immortal Firmament - Book 07 Chapter 153

Book 07 Chapter 153: Crimson Heavenly Eye

At the entrance to the second layer of hell in the first layer of hell:

Kong Xuan waited anxiously.

“Milord, the entrance to the second layer of hell is shrinking!” a Divine Demon Army soldier suddenly exclaimed.

“The entrance is shrinking?” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.

“His Reverence once said the entrance remained open for only two hours of the outside world and was shut for the remaining twenty-two hours. Doesn’t that mean it will take close to one thousand years to open again? Furthermore, close to two thousand years will pass in the second layer of hell before His Reverence can come out?” a Divine Demon Army soldier said anxiously.

Kong Xuan’s eyelids twitched wildly as he tried to peer into the second layer of hell. However, he failed to see anything.

“Milord, should we go down and inform his Reverence?” that Divine Demon Army soldier asked worriedly.

Kong Xuan appeared uncertain. Eventually, he shook his head. “His Reverence knows about the eighteen layers of hell’s attributes. Just wait patiently for His Reverence to come back out.”

“However, what if…,” that Divine Demon Army soldier said worriedly.

“There are no what-ifs. Do you think His Reverence cannot plan as well as you can?” Kong Xuan countered.

“Right!” The Divine Demon Army soldiers stopped interjecting and resumed their patrol in the surroundings.

Kong Xuan watched anxiously as the entrance shrank. “Your Reverence, you have to hurry up. Otherwise, you will have to wait nearly two thousand years.”

——

In the secret realm immortal firmament:

Mortal Gautama controlled his Sahā World, suppressing Vairocana’s Sahā World. However, the Divine Demon Army soldiers killed all the Spirit Mountain Holy Land disciples at Gao Xianzhi’s command, and Mortal Gautama’s Sahā World crumbled, wasting all his efforts.

“Om Mani Padme Hum!” the one million buddhas and bodhisattvas in Vairocana’s Sahā World shouted furiously as they simultaneously threw palm strikes.

Boom!

The golden swastika, the core of the Sahā World in the sky, shattered with a loud report. Immense force rushed at Mortal Gautama.

“Damn!” Mortal Gautama’s expression changed. He could only use the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus to defend himself hurriedly.

“Buddhist Halo Shining Gloriously!”

Mortal Gautama activated the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus, making it emit a bright light to block this heavy strike.

Boom!

The Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus exploded with a loud report, turned to powder, and scattered into the surroundings. Of course, it negated most of the force; only a small portion struck Mortal Gautama.

Even so, the attack blasted Mortal Gautama back. His skin cracked, and blood spurted from all over his body. He spewed a mouthful of blood and crashed into a mountain.

Vairocana gained another overwhelming victory.

As he stood on his Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus, the one million buddhas and bodhisattvas formed a human wall, separating him from the three Gautama Heavenly Demons and leaving Gu Hai alone behind to deal with the divine blood poison ant.

“Amitāyus!” Vairocana chanted as he shone with bright, golden light.

Mortal Gautama climbed out of the rubble as Jiang Gautama and Heavenly Gautama approached him.

“How are your injuries?” Jiang Gautama asked.

However, Mortal Gautama glared at Jiang Gautama in fury. “This is all your fault. You failed to protect one Spirit Mountain Holy Land! If the Spirit Mountain Holy Land disciples were still around, Vairocana would be dead by now!”

Jiang Gautama was also severely injured. He wanted to rebut but could say nothing.

Jiang Gautama had not expected Gu Hai to be so ruthless, killing all five million Spirit Mountain Holy Land disciples.

“Heavenly Gautama, we can only depend on you now. Both Mortal Gautama and I are severely injured.” Jiang Gautama looked at Heavenly Gautama.

Heavenly Gautama nodded and looked at the distant Sahā World.

With the Sahā World blocking them, they could not get near Gu Hai; they could only watch Gu Hai stand on the divine blood poison ant’s head.

“Hah! The White Emperor is dead for sure. She is already nose-deep and will die soon. Gu Hai, let’s see what you can do!” Jiang Gautama snarled.

Far away, all the other heads on the divine blood poison ant’s head had already sunk into the poison swamp. Only the White Emperor remained, as Gu Hai pulled her. Even so, only her mouth and nose remained exposed.

“Stop pulling me already. Husband, leave quickly. Xianer has caused Husband trouble. Husband, I beg you, leave! Leave quickly!” the White Emperor cried.

Gu Hai did not pull hard on the White Emperor, as he would rip her souls if he tried. If that happened, it would all be over.

Now, he could not do anything.

The divine blood poison ant was impenetrable. His Life Executioner Saber could only go about thirty centimeters deep into the poison swamp before stopping.

Leave? How can I leave? Xianer is right in front. How can I give up?

Gu Hai opened the Eyes of Life and Death and saw the White Emperor’s figure. Many poison threads in the poison swamp were stabbed into the White Emperor’s body like metal needles and even pierced her souls.

The Eyes of Life and Death could show the weakness of all things. They had already helped Gu Hai many times, but this time, he could not see anything helpful. The black and white threads had no pattern to them. They were densely packed together, making the White Emperor’s figure black. Breaking any of the black threads would kill the White Emperor.

Gu Hai appeared anxious, not knowing where to start.

“What if I substituted for the White Emperor? Then I can circulate the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment. Perhaps that will work!” Gu Hai’s eyes widened as inspiration struck.

“Mister Gu, are you done yet?” Vairocana yelled.

At this moment, Gu Hai made a grave decision.

“Vairocana, protect yourself and wait for me to return!” Gu Hai yelled as he extended his hand into the poison swamp and hugged the White Emperor.

After speaking, Gu Hai immediately jumped into the poison swamp.

Splash!

“What?” Vairocana exclaimed.

This scene shocked Heavenly Gautama, who was preparing to make a move.

“Is Gu Hai crazy?” Jiang Gautama exclaimed.

“He gave up on life and jumped into the poison pool. Is he entering the divine blood poison ant’s poison gland? Is he crazy? Going in is certain doom!” Mortal Gautama exclaimed.

The sudden change made everyone think Gu Hai was committing suicide.

In just a short moment, Gu Hai completely sank into the poison swamp while hugging the White Emperor. Their figures disappeared, thoroughly submerged.

“Roar!” The divine blood poison ant roared, sounding satisfied.

“Gu Hai went mad trying to save Chen Xianer. To think he would die with her!” Jiang Gautama said with a strange expression.

However, Mortal Gautama looked at Jiang Gautama in disdain. “Do you see that? Do you see that? It is that simple to deal with Gu Hai. We could force Gu Hai to death using the White Emperor, yet you suffered so many setbacks, even losing everything. Fool!”

Jiang Gautama could not argue back. Who could have thought killing Gu Hai would be so easy?

“Mister Gu!” Vairocana anxiously turned his head back to investigate.

“Humph! Vairocana, Gu Hai is already dead. Why aren’t you fleeing yet? Since you are not, then stay here forever!” Heavenly Gautama said coldly.

When Heavenly Gautama’s voice rang out, the presentiment of a fatal threat swept through Vairocana’s body. Vairocana feared Heavenly Gautama the most of the three Gautama Heavenly Demons, and this Gautama was going to make a move.

Suddenly, the crimson line on Heavenly Gautama’s forehead opened. When it did, a crack appeared in the center of the crimson clouds churning in the sky.

Boom!

The moment the crack opened, a horrifying aura of might crashed down.

Clearly, the line on Heavenly Gautama’s forehead was for controlling the crack in the crimson clouds.

Vairocana’s expression changed at the pressure from the crimson clouds’ powerful aura. The entire Sahā World trembled; even the divine blood poison ant quieted.

Then the divine blood poison ant slowly sank into the Buddhist Energy sea.

Vairocana immediately guarded himself, preparing to meet a powerful enemy.

That crack widened, the immense pressure intensifying. The Sahā World trembled.

“Jiang Lianshan’s treasure for defying Heaven?” Vairocana seemed to have guessed something.

“You know quite a bit!” the distant Jiang Gautama sneered.

Even if Vairocana knew, it was useless. He only knew something horrifying was coming. When that crack opened, a faint, red light slowly leaked out. That red light seemed to accumulate, giving off a destructive aura.

In the Sahā World, the one million buddhas and bodhisattvas chanted increasingly louder and faster.

“When Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara had deeply understood the Supreme Wisdom, he realized that the five skandhas making up a person were but an illusion, and with this, he was delivered from all sorrow and suffering. O Śāriputra…”

“Thus have I heard. One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍika Monastery at Prince Jeta’s Grove, near the great city of Śrāvastī…”

…

The loud Buddhist chanting strengthened the Sahā World, but Vairocana still felt his hair stand on end.

“Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sect!” Vairocana attacked towards the sky.

“Hah!” The one million buddhas and bodhisattvas attacked simultaneously.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sect rushed towards the red light in the crack with the entire Sahā World’s greatest strength.

However, the crack on Heavenly Gautama’s forehead fully opened at this moment.

Buzz!

A crimson third eye suddenly appeared on Heavenly Gautama’s forehead.

At the same time, the crack in the crimson clouds above opened. When it widened, the earlier heavenly might intensified a hundred times over. A crimson eye spanning five kilometers appeared above the crimson clouds.

That eye was like Heaven’s eye, inspiring terror in the heart.

When the crimson heavenly eye opened, the red light accumulated earlier shot straight at the Sahā World, clashing with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sect.

Boom!

An overwhelming report rang out. The palms of the one million buddhas and bodhisattva were the first to explode, followed by the large golden swastika.

Next, the one million figures exploded into fragments.

The entire Sahā World crumbled. Then the remnant red energy rushed at Vairocana.

Vairocana’s expression changed as he controlled the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus to block.

Boom!

The Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus was immediately reduced to powder. The red light eradicated everything in the Sahā World. Its immense force even blasted a large hole in the secret realm immortal firmament, and the second layer of hell trembled.

Under Heavenly Gautama’s control, the secret realm immortal firmament quickly recovered.

The crimson heavenly eye had wiped away all traces of Vairocana’s existence. Only the crimson heavenly eye remained in the sky, coldly surveying everything in the secret realm immortal firmament.

“This crimson heavenly eye is powerful. To think even the Sahā World cannot withstand a single strike from it, destroyed in an instant.” Jiang Gautama inhaled sharply.

“Jiang Lianshan intended to use this to defy Heaven. How can it be weak? Vairocana? Hah! A well-deserved death!” Mortal Gautama sneered.
