I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1683
Chapter 1683: Battling Buddha
The army at the Spirit Lake Realm was originally formed to fight against the northern front of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army.
Now that the northern front had been completely annihilated, the Black Spirit Snake and White Spirit Snake were naturally free to participate in this earth-shattering event hosted by An Lin.
As for the Battling Buddha from the Buddhist Kingdom of the West…
This was the first time An Lin met him. However, he was pretty much exactly the same as how An Lin had imagined him to be.
Regardless of whether it was his piercing gold eyes, which seemed like they could see through all matter, his unyielding battle intent, or even his sense of benevolence that was hidden behind his destructive aura, An Lin could clearly sense all of the Battling Buddha’s characteristics.
He was none other than The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal—Sun Wukong!
The weight behind this name was very lofty.
His experiences and rise to power were nothing short of legendary. In terms of challenging the heavens and crushing the heavens, he was definitely a pioneer. Although he had attained enlightenment and become a Buddha, his unique talents were not buried. Under the baptism of the Heaven Crushing Sect, his long-forgotten talents were once again polished and allowed to shine with dazzling brilliance.
The cultivation base of the Battling Buddha had already reached the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, far surpassing that of his old opponent, the Heavenly Court War God’s previous Battle God—Yang Jian. Moreover, his cultivation base had surpassed several Gods and Buddhas of the Western Paradise[1]. In terms of combat capability, perhaps only the Shakyamuni Buddha was more powerful than him.
Chen Chen had once told An Lin, not only was the Battling Buddha extremely proficient in the Heaven Crushing Techniques, but he was even able to understand and use the most supreme techniques of the Heaven Crushing Sect. He was already a candidate for the Fifth Heavenly Disciple.
If at some point in time the Battling Buddha agreed, he could even become the official Fifth Heavenly Disciple of the Heaven Crushing Sect!
This was extremely impressive… almost as impressive as An Lin!
By sending such a powerful individual over, it appeared as though the Western Paradise regarded this event very highly. Thus, An Lin naturally welcomed the Battling Buddha with open arms.
Sun Wukong landed on the stage lightly. His Buddhist robe appeared slightly peculiar on him, yet this oddity was covered up by his other-worldly appearance.
That’s right, he was extremely handsome!
From his chiseled face to his profound and dazzling eyes; from his exquisite nose to his smooth and golden fur; everything about him was absolute perfection. He was naturally likable, and one couldn’t help but want to stroke his beautiful body.
In terms of appearances, Sun Wukong was definitely the most handsome monkey. He was the undisputed Handsome Monkey King!
Moreover, the Battling Buddha was Xiao Chou’s greatest idol! Regardless of whether it was now or in the past, the Battling Buddha was and had always been the target that Xiao Chou strived toward. When the Battling Buddha arrived at the Four Nine Immortal Sect, Xiao Chou had immediately rushed over to greet him.
The Battling Buddha was also very easygoing, and he happily discussed cultivation and battle techniques with Xiao Chou.
Xiao Chou was extremely moved, and he involuntarily shed tears several times.
When other cultivators saw Xiao Chou and Sun Wukong together, they couldn’t help but feel that the scene was somewhat uncanny. They also involuntarily shed tears several times.
Of course, these weren’t tears of excitement or joy. Rather, these were tears of pain caused by the blindingly painful scene that lay before them.
Beauty and ugliness were on the opposite ends of a spectrum. Both highlighted the other and made it even more salient. The Handsome Monkey King was far too handsome, and this made Xiao Chou’s ugliness appear even more extreme and terrifying. Almost everyone was shocked by the scene of them together.
In fact, some media outlets had already started snapping pictures to record this historically significant scene. These pictures would perhaps become one of the most frightening yet sought after pictures in the Tai Chu Continent.
…
Right now, Sun Wukong was standing beside An Lin. Even though he was at such an important event, he still winked and made faces at An Lin. “Heh, Brother An Lin…”
“What’s up?”
“After we successfully execute the Heavenly Gods, why don’t you come and spar with me at the Buddhist Kingdom’s Moving Cloud Mountain? It feels extremely soothing to fight there. Not only is the Moving Cloud Mountain brimming with vital energy, but we can also avoid destroying grass, flowers, and other vegetation there. In other words, we can go all out!”
“…
“Say, Brother Sun, you’re even considering environmental protection when you fight now?”
“I’ve no other choice. Every time I fight in some other location in the Western Paradise, the Shakyamuni Buddha slaps me to the ground with his palm. Then, he’ll make me eat dirt and repent under his Five Element Creation Palm.”
An Lin felt a deep sense of sympathy for Sun Wukong.
Casting his mind back to the past, Sun Wukong had been sealed away by the Shakyamuni Buddha for hundreds of years after causing a huge commotion in the Heavenly Court. Now that he had become a Buddha, his cultivation base had risen at an astonishing pace. However, he was still no match for the Shakyamuni Buddha’s devastating palm.
When could this monkey truly escape from the control of the Shakyamuni Buddha’s palm?
…
The Battling Buddha’s appearance caused another huge stir among the massive crowd of spectators.
However, what caused the largest sensation was the participation of the Sacred Temple of Martial Dao’s Chaotic Element Martial Lord!
What was the Sacred Temple of Martial Dao? This was the most sacred temple of the Holy Martial Clan, one of the Ten Realm-Guardian Tribes!
In this devastating battle that had swept throughout the entire continent, the Holy Martial Clan had maintained a neutral position this entire time. They neither assisted nor attacked any side.
The Chaotic Element Martial Lord was one of the Sacred Temple of Martial Dao’s three founding elders. His appearance not only increased the strength of the God Slaying Team, but it was, more importantly, an expression of this neutral power’s new position in the battle.
The Holy Martial Clan was making an announcement to the entire world.
They weren’t going to stay neutral anymore. They were going to kill the Heavenly Humans. They were going to slay Heavenly Gods!
Like a pebble hitting water, this event caused countless ripples to travel throughout the Tai Chu Continent.
There were countless live-streaming crystal screens located throughout the Tai Chu Continent, and news of the Holy Martial Clan’s decision instantly spread like wildfire.
It was evident that the destruction of the Southern Heavenly Gate, as well as this public execution of Heavenly Gods, had instilled a great sense of confidence in the Holy Martial Clan. As a result, their position started to lean toward the humans.
An Lin had pushed the first domino, and his action had finally led to this earth-shattering climax!
As for the other powerful individuals that An Lin had introduced—Patriarch Shen Teng, Dark Thunder Emperor, and others—they all appeared much more ordinary. In fact, their participation barely caused a ripple in the spectators’ hearts.
This wasn’t to say that they were weak. It was simply because the individuals who had been introduced before them were far too brilliant.
Soon after, the members of the God Slaying Team were all assembled together.
All of them were clearly suppressing their auras as they stood on the stage. However, the spectators on the dao plaza still felt an overwhelming sense of pressure and an innate sense of fear.
On the stage was An Lin, Dongfang Zhuangshi, the Divine Phoenix Maiden, Little Huang, the Celestial Thearch, Emperor Ziwei, Empress Black Spirit Snake, Empress White Spirit Snake, the Ancient Dragon Empress, the Battling Buddha, the Chaotic Element Martial Lord, Patriarch Shen Teng, and the Dark Thunder Emperor.
There were a whopping thirteen Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings!
They were either powerful leaders who were well-renowned throughout the continent, or they were legendary beings who were talked about in stories and fables.
Right now, however, they were all gathered in one place. And, they all had only one objective in mind.
An Lin raised his arms and exclaimed, “Now, please follow me, my fellow cultivators! Kill the Heavenly Humans! Slay the Heavenly Gods!”
“Kill the Heavenly Humans! Slay the Heavenly Gods!”
“Kill the Heavenly Humans! Slay the Heavenly Gods…”
The Celestial Thearch and Battling Buddha also cried out after An Lin.
It wasn’t only them who shouted this slogan.
Even the spectating powerful beings started to roar this slogan out aloud.
Countless individuals who were watching this live-stream from all over the continent also couldn’t help but scream along.
Kill the Heavenly Humans! Slay the Heavenly Gods! These eight words were once controversial and taboo. Under the influence of the current atmosphere, however, countless beings started to shout these eight words out aloud.
Boom!
A thick bolt of white lightning crackled down.
The screens of the live-streaming crystals suddenly became pure white.
The massive crowd of spectators on the dao plaza also felt their visions become an endless field of white. They couldn’t see anything at all.
When the white glow disappeared, An Lin and the others had already disappeared from the stage on the dao plaza.
This…
Before the spectators could even react, the ginormous screen before them suddenly lit up.
On the screen, there was an entirely different world!
As for An Lin and the others, they had all appeared in this new and unfamiliar world!
